Don't you worry.........the "media" is all over this

 

As reported, two JetBlue passengers were removed from a JetBlue flight after one of them, the husband of a Hunter College professor, verbally berated Ivanka Trump. The professor, Andy Lasner, deleted his Twitter account in the wake of the incident, including tweets indicating an intent to harass.

 

 

 

ThinkProgress editor Judd Legum put it this way:

Passenger kicked off Jet Blue flight for talking to Ivanka Trump. "Your father is ruining the country!," he said https://goo.gl/dW5VTE

 

Not to be outdone, check out Yahoo News’ approach:

Man kicked off JetBlue flight for questioning why Ivanka Trump was on it https://yhoo.it/2h6jShy

 

Talking points memo softened the tone a bit as well:

Ivanka Trump reportedly jeered at by fellow passenger in JetBlue coach: "Your father is ruining the country" http://bit.ly/2igaw7T

 

I believe the word you are searching for is ....."Harass"

REMEMBER “LOVE TRUMPS HATE” AND “THEY GO LOW, WE GO HIGH?”................ ME NEITHER

"Russia Did It" - The Last Stand Of Neoconservatism

Some intellectuals brought it to a new level: the rest of the world will have to embrace capitalism and liberal democracy voluntarily or else they will be forced to. It was the birth of neoconservatism in the United States and it would spread across the Atlantic.

 

(Snip)

 

The Neocon-backing Western establishment is facing political upheaval all over Europe and the US. These revolutions are not mere popular movements. Trumps election is the handing over of power from one influential group to another because a part of the establishment has become fully aware of the problems Europe and the US are facing.

 

(Snip)

 

The Neocon world peaked and is now crumbling at record speed. And what is the Neocons reaction? A failure to topple governments may have been taken into account, but the electoral defeats in the West were unexpected. In a bid that looks like a mix of anger and desperation the Neocon machine is using the US State Department and the mainstream media to mount a gigantic offensive putting the blame for its own failures on the battered Russia: so without having much evidence, neocons created a narrative that Russia has helped Donald Trump win the elections.

Let's see what the neocon mouthpieces are saying in their panic mode to stoke the Russia theory.

 

Weekly Standard

 

Congressional Republicans agree with Democrats that Russia's hacking of Democratic emails merits investigation. But however troubling Moscow's election-season mischief-making might have been, there's no reason to assume the results of the presidential vote itself were in any way unfair. The real reason we've spent the last few weeks talking about Russian hacking is that Democrats are casting about for a reason—any reason—to explain Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald Trump that doesn't involve acknowledging their candidate's and party's monumental failings.

 

No less a figure in the Democratic party than Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta gave his blessing to the cockamamie idea of a briefing by the intelligence community on Russian interference for the benefit of the presidential electors, presumably so the Electoral College could upend the results of the election.

 

Daily Caller

 

That one word has become the favorite slogan of leftists following Donald Trump’s electoral victory, and it has only increased in usage since The Washington Post’s Friday report on CIA claims the Russian hacked emails to help the current president-elect win.

The most hysterical expression of this sentiment from a major public figure came from one Keith Olbermann Monday. The former primetime cable host launched into a tirade on his GQ YouTube video show — straight from a rickety basement set with subpar audio — about how the Russians now effectively control the United States government.

NEOCONSERVATISM: a political philosophy so backwards, so dangerously naive, and so hopelessly out of touch with the American people it's only hope to remain relevant was to attach itself to HRC's disastrous campaign.

 

It worked out as well for them as that whole "we will be welcomed as liberators" bit. :lol:

 

Now it's on to plan C.

The day DR went full gatorman

Going full gator on this issue is believing a thoroughly rejected political philosophy that is completely incompatible with our democratic republic can still work despite decades showing otherwise.

 

Going full gator on this issue is being so naive as to think regime change is simply hoping and wishing for better lives, or committing war crimes are okay so long as they're done for the "right" reasons.

 

Going full gator on this issue is being so desperate and out of touch with reality that your only hope of legitimizing your belief system is to latch on to HRC's campaign and expecting people not to notice.

 

Neoconservatism is not just outdated and unworkable in today's world, it's posioness to true liberty and freedom.

 

Anyone who still considers neoconservatism as a viable geopolitical strategy isn't just wrong, they're dangerous and completely unable to tackle the problems of a modern interconnected world.

And yet, the only bullet neocons have left, aside from delusional denial and insults (which never have substance), is to double down on fascism as an expediant way to control the narrative and change the system to something more compatible with their outdated, dangerous, and thoroughly disproven philosophy.

 

Which figures. Neocons aren't fascists. But they like to think they can control monsters to do their bidding. So naturally the rising tide of fascism on both sides of the spectrum appeals to their short sighted nature.

 

16 years of war.

 

8 trillion dollars + spent.

 

Millions of lives lost.

 

Three straight presidential election cycles which the American people have thoroughly rejected the neocon world view....

 

The results are in: Anyone who still thinks neoconservatism is a viable and laudable strategy is either oblivious or a dinosaur.

and again you're delusional. It's ok man all your predictions have come true from the very beginning. Keep at it. You're just farting in the wind.

Not a single lick of substance to that retort. You can do better.

 

Wait, you can't if you're actually trying to defend the indefensible.

 

Shift the focus all you want: to me, to Putin, to lord knows what.... But you still cannot defend a philosophy that just is incompatible with our form of government, Liberty, freedom, and stability.

 

Neoconservatism is a poison of the mind.

You know me I rarely engage in substance but I don't pretend I do. You do

I don't pretend though. I bring substance to my discussions and am more than willing to entertain points of views other than my own. I'm also willing to analyze and think beyond the talking points and propaganda passed off as news.

 

You may disagree with me on certain matters -- I would expect nothing less -- but in terms of the utter failure and disaster that is the neocon philosophy it's not even a debate. It's fundamentally a flawed world view that's thoroughly incomparable w our system of government.

 

It is dying a loud death, and it's remaining supporters cannot defend it.

 

They can only deflect...

 

And hope fascist tactics work in their favor.

 

Which makes them enemies of everything The United States is supposed to stand for. Patriots they are not.

So neoconservatism started with...Kennedy?

 

Technically yes, as many were Democrats back in the day, but got disenchanted with the socialist leanings of the Democratic party and made a vocal exit.

 

On topic though, nothing says a takeover of a cabinet than appointing a neocon's wife to be an assistant to an assistant of a unit within a cabinet.

 

Many people don't realize that Zerohedge is the OC equivalent of finance bloggers. What he lacks in substance, he makes up with volume and charts (instead of emoticons) I'm still cracking up with his take that Apple was running the world's largest illegal hedge fund without any disclosure.

Stupid Election Backlash

 

 

A Revealing Christmas Controversy

by David French

 

For a few hours today, liberal Twitter actually thought that the Republican National Committee either called Donald Trump our “new King” or compared Trump to Jesus. In fact, liberal Twitter might still think the RNC called Trump a King. Why? Because of this Christmas statement:

 

Merry Christmas to all! Over two millennia ago, a new hope was born into the world, a Savior who would offer the promise of salvation to all mankind. Just as the three wise men did on that night, this Christmas heralds a time to celebrate the good news of a new King. We hope Americans celebrating Christmas today will enjoy a day of festivities and a renewed closeness with family and friends.

 

Even as we celebrate, we must also remember those among us who are less fortunate. Many on this day are without hope, and need the kindness and compassion of those around them. It is our prayer we will rise to meet the material, emotional, and spiritual needs of individuals all around us, and what better day is there to love our fellow man than today?

 

As we open presents, enjoy Christmas dinner, and celebrate our own family traditions, we are mindful of our men and women in uniform. Many are stationed around the world today protecting our freedoms, and cannot be with their own spouses, children, parents, and siblings. We express the deepest gratitude for service that takes them away from celebrating with loved ones, and we ought to remember them in our thoughts and prayers not just on Christmas Day, but the whole year round.

 

 

 

Eagle-eyed mainstream media theologians spotted this sentence — “Just as the three wise men did on that night, this Christmas heralds a time to celebrate the good news of a new King” – and apparently immediately thought, “The Republicans actually think that ‘this Christmas’ they have a ‘new King’ named . . . Donald Trump!”

 

Yes, they thought that.

 

The Raw Story collects a ridiculous number of tweets, including from smart people like Jonathan Chait (retweeting another smart person, Washington Post writer and Tufts University professor Dan Drezner)

 

I have two reactions to this strange little controversy. First, are these folks really so ignorant of Christian language and customs that they don’t understand that the “new King” is Christ? I’ve heard that phrase countless times. “King” is capitalized for crying out loud — a clear reference to the divine.

 

Two weeks ago, New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet told NPR’s Terry Gross, “I think that the New York–based, and Washington-based too, probably, media powerhouses don’t quite get religion.” ......................Yup, and this tiny tempest is Exhibit A.

 

Next, do liberal journalists and pundits really think so little of the RNC that they actually believe they’d call Trump a king? Do they really think they’d compare the president-elect to Jesus? Apparently so, and that’s a big problem. They’re not even granting the RNC the presumption of rationality. Indeed, they presume the opposite – that their political opponents are delusional.

 

Compared to the vast majority of the controversies of 2016, this little Twitter dustup is small change, but I’m afraid it’s indicative of the kind of leftist discourse we’ll see in the Trump years. Everything will be suspect. There will be no sense of proportion. The outrage meter will always be on – and dialed to the highest sensitivity.

 

 

If the Left wants everyone but their base to tune them out, I can think of no better way.

Obama Hilariously Points Finger At The Media For Trump Winning Rural America

 

President Obama is a funny man. The reason being is it’s funny listening to a Democrat blame the media for any of their troubles. The media went out of their way to cover for Obama on a variety of fronts, Now, Obama is pointing the finger of blame at the press for Trump doing so well with rural voters:

 

“Tom — Tom Vilsack, my agriculture secretary from Iowa. We — we devoted more attention, more focus, put more resources into rural America than has — has been the case probably for the last two, three decades,” Obama told David Axelrod, a White House senior adviser, in an interview for CNN.

 

“And — and it paid great dividends, but you just wouldn’t know that, that’s not something that you would see on the nightly news,” Obama said.

 

“And so we’ve got to figure out how do we show people and communicate in a way that is visceral and — and makes an emotional connection as opposed to just the facts,” Obama continued, “because the facts are all in dispute these days.”

 

 

Obama’s comments reveal the mindset of the modern leftist. “Put more resources” means “Spent more money.” If it paid great dividends, people would know, Mr. President. Instead, you’re assuming they’re clueless on just how much you did for them because they can’t deal with “facts.” They need the “emotional connection.”

The President, like most Democrats, believe spending a lot of money is a solution. They “invest” $6.5 billion in one year. Nobody sees the supposed “benefits, ” and they’re dumbfounded to learn people aren’t eager to vote for them.

It is always the same with Democrats when they lose. “We’re the best. Our ideas are the best. Our policies are the best. We’re the bestest best-best of all the rest! It’s just voters are too dumb to see it. So we need to communicate better with the rural simps, and then we’ll win!”

The message the Democrats have sent these rural voters since the election, is two-fold:

  1. “These hayseeds in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, and Pennsylvania don’t deserve to have their candidate win because their betters in California and New York have spoken!”
  2. “These dummies just don’t get how good they have it with us. We need to communicate better to these morons. Otherwise, they won’t vote for us.”

Sure, that will work.

After the Stimulous© there were signs placed along the the road, next to a building, or wherever got money from the Simulous®

 

Trump should do the same with Tesla. Put up a sign, sign, everywhere a sign

 

For all the signs I saw saying "Project funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act," the only actual work I ever saw done was putting up the signs.

For all the signs I saw saying "Project funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act," the only actual work I ever saw done was putting up the signs.

The house that I owned at the time of the ARRA was in a desirable neighborhood, in a nice town, at the end of a culdesac with very little auto traffic, and no foot traffic.

 

The top of the street entered into the neighboorhood through about 1/8 a mile of town owned woods.

 

One day, on my way home from work, I noticed a huge sign at the end of the woods where the first yard was.

 

The workers that followed ripped out the first 6 feet of everyone's front yards and driveway, and built a sidewalk. The sidewalk is never used, and drove down property values.

 

I sold the house last year.

The face of liberal intolerance and stupidity.

 

 

Why Trump voters are not welcome in my house this holiday

 

Linkedin_0440.jpg?1482652990

 

I don't think his friends will miss him much.

 

My brother and sister expressed a wish to reconcile this past Christmas...but a quick "Merry Trumpmas! Make America Great Again!" text put them back in their intolerant, illiberal place.
