Histrionics…

Hyperbole or just plain old tantrums???

The President is giving an address to Congress tomorrow night and the Dems/Media are continuing to meltdown… Some are supposedly going to not attend, some supposedly are going to crowd the aisle then turn their backs, and… and…

This year, Democrats will be using their tickets as part of an organized effort to invite the families of illegal immigrants, DREAMers protected by former President Obama’s executive orders on immigration, and Muslim-Americans they claim will be harmed by Trump’s temporary travel ban. (A court has stayed Trump’s travel ban.)

Full article, HERE.

And you can bet the media will twist it anyway they can.  Just like some bloggers who are still in denial are doing…

Personally, I think it would be funny as hell if ICE were there, just checking… Don’t ya know…

And then there’s this…

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Trump has misled the public to a degree that “there are plenty of grounds right now for the current president” to be impeached. But the public is not fully on board yet, Pelosi said, because “many of the president’s supporters are not ready to accept the fact that their judgement may not have been so great in voting for him.”

Meanwhile, in the real world, Chiraq continues to kill people at an even greater rate than last year!

Four people were killed and 10 others were wounded over the weekend in Chicago as violence this year continues to outpace last year.

As of Monday morning, the city had logged 103 homicides, compared with 101 this time a year ago, according to data compiled by the Tribune. At least 513 people have been shot this year, compared with 466 over the same time last year.

And what is being done by Rhambo et al? Zip, nada… Full article, HERE.

And an interesting OPED from the Washington Times by Kelly Riddell, HERE.

It’s getting to the point that it all comes down to credibility, and it seems most outlets are sadly lacking… Right, left, or otherwise…

It’s pretty bad when the ‘better’ coverage comes from the BBC and Pravda. Never thought I’d be saying THAT! 🙁

In other news, Trump came out saying he was going to up the military’s budget by $54 billion (3% of the current budget) and the left is screaming… Claims abound that ZOMYGHADELeventy… Entitlements will be cut/zeroed, yada, yada, yada…. Spend more than any country in the world, yada, yada… The reality is the US spends about 3.3% of GDP vs. 5.1% for Russia vs. 2.1% for China vs. 15.1% for Saudi Arabia (documentation HERE). Of course, you CAN twist those numbers… Or just go with totals, like THIS.

Just remember, figures (statistics) lie and liars figure…

  1. Hey Old NFO;

    The democrats have been throwing a temper tantrum since November 8th. Presidents traditionally get 100 days of a honeymoon, but Trump has been getting piled on since he got elected. I am getting real tired of the poor behavior.

  2. I have been following BBC (pretty good, slightly left but not that bad — at least reporting rather than opinion) for quite some time. CBC Canada isn’t that bad, either. Does anyone have a suggestion for a usable news source for the US?

  3. Democrats haven’t been this angry since Republicans took their slaves away from them.

  4. The dims keep harping on Russian influence upon the Trump administration & Russian influence upon our recent election.
    The Russian methodology of exerting influence is that of using (the same tactics espoused by Alinsky)
    provocateurs to create problems destabilize the country and then claim that they (the Russians) are coming to “help solve” the problems. Behavior that has been used frequently in the recent past.
    Does that behavior sound familiar? Are our dimocrats upping their game of destabilization? With what as a result?

  5. The tantrums & paid protesters have quickly gotten on my last nerve, and I’m afraid nothing good will come of any of it. Yes, the Dims are hope to completely destabilize the government, and – as more than one low-information idiot has put it – “then Hillary can be President!”

    Yeah. They really are that stupid.

    • I still think that a lot of the hysteria is the Democrat establishment trying to distract the rank-and-file from the fact that Trump didn’t steal the election, but Hillary DID steal the nomination. There were strong grass roots movements in both parties. The Republican one nominated Trump, and the Democrat one got quashed by Shrillary and her apparatchiks. Now the Democrat establishment is running scared that if the rank-and-file remember that come 2020, they status quo could get seriously seasick.

      The Democrat establishment is in serious trouble; they are either going to get the boot, or they are (apparently) going to nominate Her Shrillness again, in which case (assuming he hasn’t been caught in bed with a dead nun) Trump will bury her in a genuine landslide.

      The Republicans are harder to read. I can’t tell if they are learning from Trump’s victory or if they think they can go back to the business-as-usual model in 2024

    • I’m avoiding people. Because I will tell them flat out how stupid they are. And it will involve profanity.

  6. Pelosi said that the people are not ready to accept the fact that Trump was elected. I, for one, am not ready to accept the fact that the voters, both registered and illegally registered, the the Bay area have kept electing that fucking incompetent idiot back in every two years. Maybe one day those voters will get their collective heads out of their asses and get someone in who is somewhere near sane.

    • The Democrat Establishment has shown that they have nothing resembling ethics, with the way they quashed Sanders in 2016. Given that, it shouldn’t surprise anybody that Democrat strongholds keep reelecting establishment idiots in perpetuity. The chances that said elections are passably honest are not worth measuring.

  7. I’m imagining just how Ms Pelosi thinks that articles of impeachment are going to magically flow out of a Republican controlled House. Hmm, nope, not seeing it.

  8. I don’t see this summer ending peacefully.
    Off to sharpen bayonets.
