The progressive media pundits and political cartoonists have gotten a reprieve on creativity. For at least the next four years they will each get a pass by posting a Trash Trump piece. I suppose that’s only fair, but while the conservatives didn’t have that latitude with our recently retired Sec8 president, they did have plenty to critique about what the man actually ‘accomplished’. Progressives and mid-roaders are not about to wait for Trump’s demonstrated performance, since it’s much easier to fabricate incisive commentary out of whole cloth for a constituency that can’t find the mid-east on the map.
It’s turning out that genetics matters in determining a person’s ability to achieve, and hence we all are different based on our heritage. The recent science is reviewed in The Genome Factor by Conley and Fletcher. It corroborates the earlier findings in Nicholas Wade’s A Troublesome Inheritance much berated by the Left when it came out (here). How does the Left get away with claiming to base their policies on science when the record shows the exact dismal opposite that started with its support of eugenics and Lysenko’s plant genetics in the early 20th century.
Reading the papers this morning prompts me to ask if anyone ever notices that when homosexuals hold an event, it is widely celebrated and we pat ourselves on the back for being tolerant and inclusive. But no one would dare attempt to hold an event for heterosexuals because even conceiving such a thing will get you vilified and branded as homophobic. Is that how we constructively ban events celebrating being straight?
National Propaganda Radio may finally be defunded by the federal government. That news outlet is the posterchild of the lamestream media as noted here for many years. With President Trump in office they are now on steroids trashing everything about him and his team. Here is more on ‘Trump Should End Government Funding of NPR’s Biased News'.
Trump stopped Obama’s midnight transfer of $221M to Palestinians as the last gasp of a blatantly pro-Islamic administration. Rebane Doctrine for such funding is to pay them for not committing acts of terror against Israel. The algo would go something like this – say, $X is our annual budget for Palestinians. We credit/pay them $X/365 for each terror-free day. When an act of terror occurs, payment stops for, say, 60 days. For every subsequent act of terror that occurs during the no-pay interval, another 60 days is added to the end of the current no-pay period. Payments resume when the accrued no-pay period ends.
Finally, here is the newest example of Orwellian NewSpeak that allows progressives to maintain with a straight face that 'free speech is censorship', and 'censorship is actually free speech'.
[update] Ketchup money? Here's another egregious example of why we will never be at peace with the Left - they are evil even unto the marrow of their bones.
Better men than me need to explain the following. Perhaps some of our progressive readers are up to the task. Or not.
Looks like Crabb is going to trash Trump all the time. Did he ever so one on Obama? Probably not. Libs are so predictable.

Looks like Trump's latest publicity stunt ultimately will hurt his new best friends in Israel.

I will sum up with brevity. The Left's biggest fear right now is Trump will become "normalized" in the eye of the public. The plan is to throw everything against viewing Trump as somewhat tolerable, especially in the first day of his Presidency. It's game on now before Trump becomes "acceptable" and they lose the not only the battle, but the war.
Bannon was right. The media is the opposition party. The Democrat Party is currently impotent. It all falls on the media's shoulders to fight hard and fight dirty ever darn day.

Looks like the loon from Truckee is renewed. He is sounding like Che' in his hate for Trump and America. Of course the FUE never moderates his screeds but it made me laugh.

My disdain for the elected POTUS is from love for my country and its Constitution.

Mine too. So we have the power right now as we wrestled it away from you peacefully on November 8, 2016.

Re: Ketchup money ... it's called ethics. Who knows how much stock the Kerry's have in Heinz? By now the money has probably been well diversified.
Don't know how popular ketchup is worldwide, but we know everyone needs oil. Is ketchup equivalent to oil?
It seems like only yesterday...
