The Media’s war against President Trump escalates

image credit: thatbookwormgirl.wordpress.com

It is difficult to equate a “free press” with the dishonest Mainstream Media that produces negative propaganda round-the-clock. Legal Insurrection has the latest anti-Trump strategy:

Since election day in 2016, various media outlets have attacked Trump and his supporters on a near daily basis. Yet when Trump refers to fake news as an enemy of the people, they become outraged and claim he is attacking the free press.

The Boston Globe has decided to organize a protest in print, proving once again that the media thinks it is part of the resistance. Brian Stelter of CNN is pretty excited about this:

More than 100 newspapers will publish editorials decrying Trump’s anti-press rhetoric

“The dirty war on the free press must end.”

That’s the idea behind an unusual editorial-writing initiative that has enlisted scores of newspapers across America.

The Boston Globe has been contacting newspaper editorial boards and proposing a “coordinated response” to President Trump’s escalating “enemy of the people” rhetoric.

“We propose to publish an editorial on August 16 on the dangers of the administration’s assault on the press and ask others to commit to publishing their own editorials on the same date,” The Globe said in its pitch to fellow papers.

The effort began just a few days ago.

As of Saturday, “we have more than 100 publications signed up, and I expect that number to grow in the coming days,” Marjorie Pritchard, the Globe’s deputy editorial page editor, told CNN.

The rest of the report is here. Sad to see that cleveland.com is on board the anti-Trump Train, such as here. Let's see if it runs an editorial tomorrow.

Update on the Ohio District 12 election

100percentfedup reports:

It looks like there was a big blue bust when the so-called “blue wave” trickled into town during Ohio’s special election. Reports are suggesting that there were over 170 people listed in Ohio’s 12th Congressional District who were registered as being over 116-years-old. How does that happen? Well, that’s a very good question, especially in a town where voter fraud is thought to run rampant and a Republican might just barely defeat their Democratic opponent.

It was Republican Troy Balderson who won (so far) by a very slim number of votes, close to 1,600, and that accounts for less than 1% of the votes in the district. That means the election is so close that law demands a recount. Of course, that’s Ohio law, specifically. It’s also reported that there are at least 3,000 provisional ballots yet to be counted. That number is higher than the number by which Republican Balderson has apparently won, which likely contributes to the further demand for a recount. It’s like you can’t win an election if you’re Republican without people wanting a recount and some invisible person who is 116-years-old, or older, shows up magically to defeat you.

Full report is here. No wonder Danny O’Connor has not conceded (see here).

Erasing History

A.F. Branco’s cartoon via www.wnd.com

Rename America

Most of us are aghast at the destruction of our history, whether the result of indoctrination taking the place of education in schools, or Confederate statues being torn down, or a commemorative plaque of George Washington being removed, etc. etc. Daniel Greenfield looks down the road that we are on, and it is scary. From his article “Rename America”:

Austin’s Equity Office has recommended renaming the Texas city because of Stephen F. Austin's alleged views on slavery. But why stop at just renaming Austin when Amerigo Vespucci took and sold slaves. 

Austin, Texas is named after Stephen F. Austin, but America is named after Amerigo Vespucci. 

. . .

History cannot be purified, only learned from.

Ohio District 12: “finding” ballots

image credit: headlineoftheday.com

We’ve seen this movie before. Leah Barkoukis reports at Townhall:

Election officials in Ohio found 588 uncounted votes Wednesday in a suburb of Columbus, county officials said.

After counting the ballots, Republican Troy Balderson received 198 votes; Democrat Danny O’Connor got 388 votes; and Joe Manchik, 2 votes. Thus, O’Connor gained 190 on Balderson, who currently leads by 1,564 votes in the close race.

Full report is here. If this follows the usual plot, election officials will keep “finding” ballots until O’Connor wins. At any rate, O'Connor has not conceded.

More on potential Ohio voter fraud is at Breitbart here.  Eric Eggers reports:

Consider that 170 registered voters listed as being over 116 years old still existed on the rolls of Ohio’s 12th Congressional when GAI accessed the data last August. That’s 10 percent of Balderson’s current margin of victory, pending provisional ballots. And 72 voters over the age of 116 who “live” in Balderson’s district cast ballots in the 2016 election.

But the Left hasn’t given up trying to create conditions favorable for voter fraud in Ohio. As former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell has pointed out, “hyper-partisan liberals…have their eyes on Ohio.” Electing a Democrat as the state’s top elections official would undoubtedly roll back the hard-won safeguards Ohio has implemented. And as Blackwell points out, as goes Ohio, so goes the Presidency.

I had previously linked to Ken Blackwell’s article in the Cleveland Tea Party blog here.

Dinesh D’Souza’s Death of A Nation

Roger L. Simon posted his review of Dinesh D’Souza’s new documentary film Death of A Nation. The review concludes:  

. . . Dinesh is definitely not premature in assessing the moment we are in as critical to the future of our nation, even its existence as we know it.  And he has made the most impassioned film he could to help move people in the right direction. This alone makes it compelling.  Most films are made for no reason at all but wealth and self-aggrandizement and show it.

The question remains -- as it is with all works of this nature -- will anybody see it who doesn't already agree with it?  Reporting from my new home in Nashville, I am not optimistic.  I was alone in the theatre with one other couple.  Whatever the case, D'Souza has to be applauded for his effort.  He's a patriot and an immigrant who makes a great case for legal immigration all by himself.

The full review at PJ Media is here. The documentary is currently at several Cleveland area theaters (Valley View, Beachwood, Middleburg Hts.). Click on the movie website here; when you select “Get Tickets” the area theater details will pop up.

I have not seen the movie, but I have read a related article that Mr. D'Souza published the other day at American Greatness here; entitled “The Switch That Never Happened: How the South Really Went GOP,” it is adapted from the book.

Gov. Kasich on Trump’s “chaos”

Breitbart reports:

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) said President Donald Trump’s “chaos” was turning off “suburban women.”

Kasich said, “First of all, the chaos that surrounds Donald Trump has unnerved a lot of people. Suburban women in particular here are the ones that are really turned off. And you add to that the millennials you have it very close.”

(More of the report with video is here.)

Let's see. Chaos defined as “complete disorder and confusion” vs President Trump’s record since his election.  Below are a few accomplishments out of over 50 cited by Sean Hannity here:

• ·         Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court
• ·         Stock Market reached an all-time high
• ·         Consumer confidence at 17-year high
• ·         More than 2 million jobs created
• ·         Mortgage applications for new homes rise to a 7-year high
• ·         Unemployment rate at 17-year low
• ·         Ended war on coal
• ·         Bids for Border Wall underway
• ·         Changed rules of engagement against ISIS
• ··        Withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)
• ·         Removed The United States out of The Paris Accord
• ·         Authorized the construction of The Keystone Pipeline
• ·         Food Stamp use at lowest level in 7 years
• ·         Would not certify the Iran Nuclear Deal
• ·         Recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital
• ·         Passage of Tax Reform Bill

If that’s “chaos,” some voters will want more chaos.
