~ “I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts.” Ronald Reagan.
Almost everyone has a opinion about Twitter and Facebook. Conservatives consider them capricious in the way they handle “political speech” on their sites, rewarding Leftist views while punishing flag-waving Love-America attitudes.
Both are hostile to American-style democracy and values.
But as long as the American political class, including Republicans, is in the grip of elitists who want to permanently disenfranchise Americans who are below their standard for full citizenship, (approximately 92%), we simply have to learn to make-do with this circumstance until we can show these people the door. That’s already a work in progress.
Either way, there will be an eventual reckoning.
Along with Google, I believe Facebook to be a world-class malevolence on a totally different level than Twitter. G&F engage in the dark arts of blending mass mind-control and subliminal messaging with the general idea that humankind can be molded into any living, breathing shape they would want us to be.
Heavy stuff.
World thinkers began seeing the dark possibilities of this futuristic world as early as the 1920s, even before movies had become talkies. By the 1950s television had hypnotized America’s children, proving the power of free commercial advertising to sell sugar-coated cereal to kids who hadn’t two dimes in their pockets. Vance Packard called these “hidden persuaders”, pointing his finger at Madison Avenue in our golden age of mass media in the 1950s. But in the 1930s it was called “propaganda” when the only tools the state could employ were radio and the superman film imagery of Leni Riefenstahl. Leave it to American admen to transform those tools to a free market.
It was only a matter of time before newer and more subtle technologies would get out in front of this desire to manipulate and control the masses for both profit and control.
As for the skin ordinary Americans have in this game of thrones, Individual Liberty is a very recent insertion into human history. And since it was so commonplace in America, Americans generally lost sight of just how precious jewel it is. So, we stopped teaching this to our children 1-2 generations ago. The absence of that teaching partly explains the kinds of people we see today on Twitter.
The general idea has been than with the magic of technology super-men can control other men without the jack-boot thuggery once required to subjugate them. Just watch people walk around like Zombies today, looking at their cell phones while tripping over sidewalks and, if old enough, you will be reminded of children being sold Lucky Charms on Saturday morning TV.
In this state leftists believe they can avoid having to send all but the religious off to re-education camps.
It’s believed that once we lose this taste for individual liberty it will be lost forever, since there is already diminishing knowledge as to how human freedom came into being in the first place. And no known academic discipline to inquire how or when it might arise again.
Erasing history has been reduced to an algorithm, what Google and Facebook do best.
But for now the American people and their native instincts are the fly in their ointment[…]
On Saturday morning, I received the following email from Twitter <twitter-legal@twitter.com> allegedly and as stated in their subject line regarding: “Information Regarding Russian Influence Campaigns on Twitter”.
Below is a screenshot of the email header and the email itself which I uploaded to Google Drive followed by my autopsy, opinion and what Twitter’s unscrupulous agenda behind the dispatch of the email.
SIDEBAR:
The evening prior to receiving the above email, I tweeted the following:
Although I suspect that I was already on Twitter’s radar, the above tweet had to hit a nerve. #NotaBot
END OF SIDEBAR
FIRST PARAGRAPH READS:
“As part of our recent work to understand Russian-linked activities on Twitter during the 2016 U.S. presidential election, we identified and suspended a number of accounts that were potentially connected to a propaganda effort by a Russian government-linked organization known as the Internet Research Agency.”
What exactly is Twitter’s work? Just like Facebook and Google/YouTube, the cat’s out of the bag, Twitter’s work is about controlling free thought, free speech, purging Conservatives, non-Marxist Jews and Independents all of which Communists have ordained as politically incorrect from its social media site. It is about controlling the message (now, where did I hear that one before?)
I recall a report a few months back that Russian bots/trolls pushed Antifa and Black Lives Matter memes on Twitter as well but as fast as news reports surfaced, they went dark.
While Twitter is censoring and suspending accounts of Conservatives and Independents whom Progressives have labeled “alt-right,” it stands behind Antifa Fascists, vagina wearing Feminazis, Black Lives Matter, LaRaza, Nazis (ok, well not Nazis who are blamed on the alt-right), Resist, Indivisible, SPLSC, the likes of Linda Sarsour and countless other Communist domestic terrorists organizations that spew anti-Trump, anti-White, anti-Christian, anti-Semitism, anti-Israeli, anti-American, anti-Capitalism, pro-abortion, pro-open borders, pro-illegal aliens, pro-DACA, pro-jihadist propaganda while threatening to burn the country down to the ground.
Why? Because Twitter’s CEO down to its staffers controlling the algorithms and recording out tweets and DMs support the Communism/global governance and gathering from the wording of its email and blog content collaborates with the narrative espoused by an out of control Deep State.
Back to Twitter’s email, while not as harsh, it share the same narrative as the Communist media complex who gets its talking points from the Deep State.
SECOND PARAGRAPH OF EMAIL:
“Consistent with our commitment to transparency, we are emailing you because we have reason to believe that you either followed one of these accounts or retweeted or liked content from these accounts during the election period. This is purely for your own information purposes, and is not related to a security concern for your account.”
Thanks to eight years of Barack Obama, Americans have caught on to the left’s “commitment to transparency” – dog whistle – to keep as many people in the dark as they can aka bury the truth by aggressively shoving a FABRICATED narrative down throats.
Should the 677,000 plus people on Twitter who received this email be concerned that there is a plot afoot which has absolutely nothing to do with Russia? To link us to some Russian interference narrative under threat of prosecution? Will the email lead to suspending our Twitter accounts after 12 months of being shadowbanned? (Join Gab.ai so you don’t have to deal with this Communist b.s.)
In light of the latest expose by Project Veritas’ James O’Keefe, pro-Trump Twitter employees openly admit shadow banning and susp ending the accounts of Trump supporters, why would we believe that Twitter’s email is not a step in Twitter’s agenda to target and ultimately purge of non-Communists aka the non-politically correct from its social media site.
PV Journalist (8:49 of video): “I’ve heard talk that it’s a good thing [shadow banning], because they’ll use it to ban like, Trump supporters or Conservatives, so if I didn’t know if, like, that’s just a rumor or if that’s true.”
As another Twitter employee admits in the above video, Twitter has a “lot of unwritten rules” which is dangerous and a threat to free speech and yet another confirms what we have known from the onset, i.e., that Twitter’s act of shadowbanning is “unethical.”
THIRD PARAGRAPH OF EMAIL:
“We are sharing this information so that you can learn more about these accounts and the nature of the Russian propaganda effort. You can see examples of content from these suspended accounts on our blog if you’re interested.”
A visit to Twitter’s blog, displays the social media’s site bias. While Twitter has accused RT of trolling for Vladimir Putin, the likes of Al Jazeera and its terrorist connections get a pass.
“Informing People of Malicious Activity in the 2016 Election
As previously announced, we identified and suspended a number of accounts that were potentially connected to a propaganda effort by a Russian government-linked organization known as the Internet Research Agency (IRA).
Consistent with our commitment to transparency, we are emailing notifications to 677,775 people in the United States who followed one of these accounts or retweeted or liked a Tweet from these accounts during the election period. Because we have already suspended these accounts, the relevant content on Twitter is no longer publicly available.
Examples of IRA Content
Most user engagement was with a very small number of IRA-associated accounts. Some examples of content which received significant engagement are included below.
[scroll down to view Twitter’s rather flimsy examples.]
What the very few images that Twitter has provided above have in common? They are what Communists consider politically incorrect, anti-Progressive, pro-America and pro-Trump?
Not to worry, of course, because as stated on Twitter’s blog, “Most user engagement was with a very small number of IRA-associated accounts.”
While I am not denying that Russia may have tried to interfere in the 2016 presidential elections, the extent of interference is being overplayed those who refuse to come to grips with the fact that Donald J. Trump is the 45th President of the United States.
These same entities are working overtime to impeach, disrupt, ensure that the President goes no further than four years but in the meantime, they are only too happy to block his agenda every step of the way.
A mere five or six screenshots to push the Russian interference narrative reminds me of the fake Russian dossier and the non-existent Trump/Russia collusion narrative. I am reminded that above everything else that this is about controlling the narrative and shutting down voices of opposition. That and the fact that many caught up in Twitter’s web were proven later to NOT be Russian bots or trolls.
Much like the “Me Too” movement, what are the odds that the accused had to prove themselves innocent as opposed to “innocent until proven guilty”?
Again, as pointed out in the video above, by an employee, Twitter “makes its own rules,” which (a) coincidentally are not in writing; and (b) is subject to change with a flip of the coin by Marxists who are admittedly biased with the power to label an account a Russian bot or troll aka “bad actors.”
“Through our supplemental analysis, we have identified 13,512 additional accounts, for a total of 50,258 automated accountsthat we identified as Russian-linked and Tweeting election-related content during the election period, representing approximately two one-hundredths of a percent (0.016%) of the total accounts on Twitter at the time. However any such activity represents a challenge to democratic societies everywhere, and we’re committed to continuing to work on this important issue….”
“People look to Twitter for useful, timely, and appropriate information….”
Am I the only one to notice that often many of my tweets and retweets (a) are not readily available; (b) takes hours to appear; (c) do not appear in my Twitter timeline.
In addition, (a) tweets belonging to many of the accounts that I follow show up in my timeline 12 to 24 hours later and while I’m gaining two dozen or more followers daily depending on my activity, my number of followers while it may decrease, never increases. In fact, my number of followers have remained stagnant since mid-2016 in spite of my growing list of followers.
“…We are taking active steps to stop malicious accounts and Tweets from spreading, and we are determined to keep ahead of the tactics of bad actors. For example, in recent months we have developed new techniques to identify accounts manipulating our platform, have improved our process for challenging suspicious accounts, and have introduced new measures designed to identify and take action on coordinated malicious activity. In 2018, we are building on these improvements…”
Then there is pro-Republican/Conservative/Trump hashtags that trend, the latest of which is #ReleaseTheMemo. According to the Communist media complex via Twitter, #ReleaseTheMemo was started by Russian bots/trolls.
Sorry but Reps Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, Sean Hannity, Sarah Carter, Laura Ingraham and Lou Dobbs which is where I got the hashtag #ReleaseTheMemo are not Russian bots/trolls.
This is merely another justification that Twitter has put out there to justify the removal of #ReleaseTheMemo and #FISAabuse from “Trending.”
Proving my case, as of this morning, the Huffington Post is reporting that hashtag #SchumerShutdown is “being promoted by Russian influence operators on Twitter.” Thus, we can expect that every time, a hashtag trends that rankles the feathers of Twitter employees, they are going to blame Russian bots and trolls. Well because in the minds of a Progressive, people cannot think for themselves.
Per the Alliance for Securing Democracy, #releasethememo is the top hashtag being promoted by Russia-linked influence networks on Twitter. pic.twitter.com/4xfPCxZpXh
On the right of the front page entitled of Alliance for Securing Democracy, there is a section entitled, DISINFORMATION DASHBOARDS. Underneath there is a sub-menu “Germany” (Angela Merkel, you devil) and the “United States.”
After clicking on the “United States, I ended up on a page that reads, “Content Tweeted by Bots and Trolls (Activity from 600 monitored Twitter accounts linked to Russian influence operations)”. I urge you to check it out to realize the full extent of monitoring. You have to see it to believe it.
Even stranger are the members of their Advisory Council:

All are globalists, most are NeverTrumpers and a few have worked under the Obama administration.
Americans are witnessing and enduring the unleashing of the New McCarthyism for which Russia and President Donald J. Trump will be blamed for every politically incorrect narrative as labeled by Marists leading into the 2018 mid-term election and 2020 presidential election seasons.
How soon before the Deep State begins kicking in doors of citizens? Conspiracy theory?
No? Do not say that it cannot happen here. It already has.
Eight years of Barack Obama targeting civilians, even nuns and now Communists who lost eight years of gains under Obama, a major step back for global Communism?
Putting Twitter’s mass email to more than 677,000 accounts into proper perspective, this has NOTHING to do with Twitter being a private entity. It does have EVERYTHING to do with Twitter suspending accounts of opposing voices from their social media site to:
eliminate dissenting views by controlling the narrative;
manipulate minds
influencing the 2018 mid-term and 2020 presidential elections.
Every week on Monday, the WoW! community and our invited guests weigh in at the Watcher’s Forum, short takes on a major issue of the day, the culture, or daily living. This week’s question: Trump’s Tweets – Effective Communication Or National Embarrassment?
Patrick O’ Hannigan: On the question of whether President Trump’s tweets are an effective form of communication or a national embarrassment, I lean toward “effective communication,” but would also suggest that we embrace the power of “and.”
When people say that Trump’s tweets are an embarrassment, they usually mean that they’re undignified. That’s a valid point, but also a criticism that could be leveled against almost *everything* on Twitter. The platform encourages a “sound bite” mentality no matter who uses it.
If you muscle past limitations of Twitter itself and think about how the president uses it (to mock his enemies, rally his friends, and nudge public discourse along in unfiltered ways), you’re free to lament Trump’s sometimes-coarse sentiments. But if we take the measure of a nation by the foibles of its chief executive, then we’ve tripped over ourselves. The degradation of office is not new. I’d argue that when Barack Obama was president, he cheapened the presidency by sharing his NCAA basketball tournament picks with fawning reporters, and climbing on his high horse to increase racial tensions at every opportunity (Remember “The Cambridge police acted stupidly” and “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon Martin”?). Similarly, Bill Clinton before him was wrong to respond to a silly question about whether he wore boxers or briefs.
“Trump is not the first to embarrass the presidency” is an admittedly lukewarm defense of his Twitter usage, but a remarkable thing about those Trumpian tweets is how many of them manage to irritate professional journalists, exposing progressive biases in ways that few other tools can (and the tweets are, in fact, tools — they’re part of the Trump brand).
Remember when the establishment media had kittens over “covfefe” and what that might mean? Whether the word was a typo, I don’t know, but it’s in the Urban Dictionary now, and Fox News recently reported that Georgia had banned that Trumpian coinage from appearing on vanity license plates. My favorite reaction came from a wag inspired enough to echo “Glengarry Glen Ross” in writing gleefully that — wait for it — “Covfefe is for closers!”
Rob Miller: First off, may I point out that WoW! anticipated Drudge on this question by a couple of days. Here are the results of his online poll as of this AM:
**DRUDGE POLL** SHOULD PRESIDENT TRUMP USE SOCIALS?
Now, to the question at hand, President Trump’s Tweets. As far as I’m concerned, the only embarrassment involved is that of the Left and their trained seals in the media. Our president is playing them the way Jimi Hendrix used to play his Stratocaster guitars, and I’m enjoying every minute of it.
President Trump is using social media in 4 distinct ways, all of them brilliant. First, he is using it to communicate directly with the American people, which means he no longer needs the Leftist media. At a time when they are deeply distrusted by almost 80% of the American people per the latest Gallup poll, President Trump, along with news sites like Drudge and Breitbart, has destroyed their ability to filter the news except among the True Believers.
Third, he is using it, especially the tweets to drive the news cycle wherever he wants. We saw a recent example of this when he spanked Leftist commentators Joe Scarbourough and Mika Brzezinski with a richly deserved tweet that took up all the headlines – while the House passed Kate’s Law mandating heavy jail sentences for illegal migrants who repeatedly enter the country after being deported as well as legislation cutting federal funds to sanctuary cities. The press, of course, concentrated of the attack on their own rather than the more important stuff. President Trump does this constantly, and the media always falls for it. To me, it’s like watching one Roadrunner cartoon after another.
And fourth? He’s letting the legacy media know that there’s a cost for their actions.
These corrupt swine mostly come from very similar effete, privileged backgrounds. They grow up in the same kind of neighborhoods, go to the same schools, have almost identical politics, frequently marry each other, socialize together and have similar ideas about their entitlements and priviliges. They really thought, until now, that they could openly lie, conspire among themselves ,insult, demean, libel and destroy not just ordinary people but any political figures they chose to as well as their families without any cost to themselves. And up to now. it has mostly worked.
They were so in their bubble, so certain they could do the same thing to Donald Trump and so anxious to get Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama’s third term in power that they overplayed their hand and got careless, exposing themselves. And they were so used to getting away with it that they actually expected to do destroy Donald Trump in the usual fashion without cost to themselves.
Big mistake.
For one thing, Trump is a fighter. He’s half a Scot on his mother’s side, the country whose national emblem is the thistle and whose national motto, inscribed by the Stuarts in Latin on Scotland’s coat of arms is Nemo me impune lacessit ‘No one hurts me unharmed’ or in the Scot’s Gaelic, Cha togar m’ fhearg gun dìoladh (don’t ask me how I know stuff like this – long story).
And for another thing, President Trump realized early on how despised these self important talking heads were by most Americans and how tired we all were of their lies and contempt for most of America’s people. One of the hit songs at Trump’s rallies (and they resembled rock concerts in many ways) was to have the fans turn around and boo the Leftist media covering the events. That, and the savvy of alt-media guru Steve Bannon, who rebuilt Breitbart and clued the president in on exactly how to use the powerful alt media to his advantage.
The latest giggle is the Leftist media meme that President Trump is ‘fomenting violence’ against the media by his tweets reveling in their defeat.
This comes after they openly help foment the ‘resistance,’ in an attempt to bring down a sitting elected president, cheerfully published leaks of classified material, and celebrated a play simulating his murder and a photo shoot with a truly heartless woman holding up a bloody model of a severed Trump head that scared his young son Baron to death when it was shown on TV. It comes after they have all but accused him of treason, have attacked his wife and children and made news out of the fact that he and the GOP are murderers because people will die if ObamaCare is repealed and replaced. And it comes after we’ve seen that almost all of the politically motivated violence is coming from the Left – Antifa, the Resistance, #blacklivesmatter with their assaults on police and race rioting, even the actual attempted assassinations of Republican congressmen – rationalized and even egged on in some cases by these same media talking heads.
And now they’re suddenly afraid of violence being directed at them? Hilarious. Keep on keeping on, Mr. President. There might have been a few tweets I might not have sent or would have worded slightly differently, but overall it’s a killer tactic.
Don Surber: President Trump tweet attacked Psycho Joe and Crazy Mika for two reasons: 1. To watch the media members belittle themselves as they chase this around as if it were Watergate. 2. To distract media attention from the real issues.
Trump is accomplishing a lot under the radar. He has to go under the radar because the Democrats could kill a bill in the Senate by making it a controversy. All they need is three of the 10 RINOs in the Senate to block any legislation. No controversy means McCain cannot get a guest appearance on “Meet the Pres” out of it, so he will vote with the party. Ditto Lindsay Graham.
As for the media (clears throat) I’ve written two books on how Trump played the media to win the nomination (“Trump the Press”) and on how Trump played the media to win the nomination (“Trump the Establishment”).
He knows the media better than anyone. He cut his teeth in the media capital of the world, arm-wrestling George Steinbrenner for the sports fronts of Newsday, the Post, and the Daily News back when Trump owned the New Jersey Generals. He endured a very publicly near bankruptcy, and a divorce of the century. In short, he’s played bigger rooms than Washington.
And it shows.
Chuck Todd thinks he can embarrass Trump out of the White House?
Has Chuck Todd been munching lead paint chips?
Trump got elected after the Billy Bush tapes.
Speaking on behalf of most Trump supporters: We do not care.
Psycho Joe and Crazy Mika have been calling him crazy for over a year. Finally, the mongoose strikes back.
Better get her to the waaaaaaaaaaaaaambulance.
The bottom line is tweet attacks distract attention from proposals allowing them to get through Congress. The tweets also get the media to further discredit itself, which amuses Trump supporters no end.
Maybe Hasbro can come out with a Psycho Joe action figure.
Stately McDaniel Manor: President Trump’s tweets are, to actual Americans, as opposed to Americans in name only–AINOs–refreshing. I had the opportunity to watch Mr. Trump delivering a speech to a group of veterans, past and present, at Lincoln Center not an hour ago. I was struck by how relaxed and comfortable he was, and by how quickly he has improved at public speaking. In every way, he is better now than he was during the campaign. But how is this possible?
If the Media AINOs and the RINO/AINOs are right, Mr. Trump should be a shambling wreck. He’s constantly under attack from every direction. The Republican controlled Congress is barely functional, and plenty of them are determined to undermine him. Because AINOs can’t imagine anyone doing more than one thing at a time, and that taking a very long time, they’re stunned to see him producing prodigious work, and do their best to ignore and cover it up.
Mr. Trump took a few gentle swipes at the media during his speech, and the crowd was, to put it mildly, enthusiastic. They were Americans. When Mr. Trump lets a self-important media blow-dried pajamaboy, or a female anchor with more plastic surgery than many African nations see in a year have it, Americans rejoice. They know exactly how much the self-imagined elite hate them, and if Mr. Trump is a little coarse in expressing himself, hey, it’s a hard world out there, and Americans live in it. They’re a lot more worried about putting food on the table and braces on the kid’s teeth than being invited to the right Georgetown parties. AINOs want to rule the paradise they just know they can create if only there weren’t so many of those deplorable, stupid as shit Americans–as CNN has put it–mucking things up.
Does Mr. Trump occasionally say things in ways I wouldn’t? Who cares? During my police days, I occasionally said worse, not because it was reflective of my character or normal way of speaking, but because I worked among Americans, all kinds of Americans, and they don’t all speak the same way or relate well to people that don’t sound like them. That was OK then, and it’s OK now.
There is, of course, far more going on than the occasional tweet that might have given one’s great, great, great Grandmother the vapors. AINOs know–but won’t admit–Mr. Trump is a man used to working long, hard hours, and accomplishing great things. They know he surrounds himself with the same kinds of smart, driven, capable people, as demonstrated by his appointments. They know he is used to working with all kinds of Americans, and know he likes them, and they like him. They know Americans do not share their obsessive, deranged hatred for Mr. Trump. All of that scares them–badly.
They can see he is changing the way things are done in DC, and are scared to death about how deeply he is going to dig the rot out of the swamp. He really is rich, is proud of it, and doesn’t owe anyone anything, which makes him more dangerous than any president in memory. They know Americans don’t begrudge him that wealth, which threatens to wipe out one of their primary “hate the wealthy” narratives. Worse, he is determined to exert the full power of his office, but not in the manner of Barack Obama. He’s restoring the rule of law and the constitutional limits of government. They shudder at the thought.
Media AINOs are particularly horrified that he does not fear them or prostrate himself before them. He extends them no courtesies, and expects them to be, at the least, accurate and honest, and is unbowed and ruthless at calling them out when they are not, which seems to be more often than not these days.
Oh, but the tweets damage the dignity of the office! They lower the discourse of Washington! Right. Lower than Bill Clinton’s sexual escapades or Barack Obama’s wholesale trampling of the Constitution? The tweets are not the official policy pronouncements of the American government. Americans understand that. They’re Mr. Trump’s off the cuff commentary at people he believes are damaging America, and Americans, for the most part, agree, and they laugh, oh they laugh. Even those that don’t wholeheartedly agree could care less. They can tell the difference between letting off a bit of steam, and being diplomatic when it matters. The idea the unwashed of flyover country are laughing at them drives AINOs to distraction. How dare they!?
Mr. Trump is saying some of the things Americans shout at the TV. He’s giving voice to the things Americans would love to tell morally flexible politicians and smug media twerps. He’s doing precisely what Americans elected him to do.
And oh boy, oh boy, are they enjoying it.
Doug Hagin:Well, it is hardly a national embarrassment. It is well short of the embarrassment that our media is. He should use Twitter to go over the heads of Congress. But he should stop short of the grade school insults. Using Twitter to inform the public and to push his agenda is a great strategy. But, again, he should cease with the verbal BS But I will take a president who goes that route over one that is actively trying to “fundamentally transform” America any day!
Dave Schuler : Both. It aggravates those who have never liked him and wouldn’t vote for him under any circumstances and delights his supporters who see it as standing up to a bullying, prevaricating leftist press.
The concern would be that it alienates those who voted for Trump despite his coarseness and oafishness. It also won’t attract those who found his views better on the issues but couldn’t put up with the coarseness and oafishness. So far his base support of 39% is holding. As long as that’s the case, it puts him in no real danger.
What I don’t think that the folks at CNN and MSNBC appreciate is that their constant hectoring of Trump is hurting them worse than it is him. Every antagonistic exaggeration, contrived anonymous source, or unsupported allegation may push Trump down a notch but it pushes them down, too.
It’s like that old wisecrack about mud rasslin’ with a Ppig: you get dirty and the pig enjoys it. While Trump is still not in any real danger, the liberal media may be. It won’t take a lot of successful libel suits to render them non-viable.
Bookworm Room :Why can’t the tweets be both? Yes, it is embarrassing to have our commander in chief get into fights with two sleazy, half-brained talk show hosts. Having said that, it needs to be done. First, all those Republican presidents who showed dignified silence in the face of savage press attacks were, in fact, savaged. The media hyenas didn’t see that dignity as a sign of strength; they saw it as weakness and doubled down on their attacks. Trump is crude, but he’s effective.
Second, the media ProgBots are incapable of keeping more than two things in their collective mind at more than one time, especially when one of those things is about them. In that case, the thing about them is all that they can think of. And while they’re obsessing about insults to those two sleazy, dimwitted talk show hosts, Trump is getting things done, lots and lots of useful things.
A short list of Trump’s accomplishments is forcing Europeans to step up to the EU obligations and making the German’s back down from their climate hysteria; simultaneously slimming down federal agencies while allowing those agents still employed to do their jobs — especially when the job is enforcing our existing immigration laws; unleashing the American economy by unleashing America’s capacity to produce fossil fuels; and allowing General Mattis to run the military like a military, rather than like an LGBTQRSTUV social justice experience. Given enough time, he’ll lower taxes. And if the GOPers would abandon their dignity and their animus, he’d get rid of Obamacare too.
Frankly, I’m at the point at which I would accept (although be disgusted by) President Trump doing a half-naked pole dance in the Oval Office if that would distract the media enough to allow the president to do his job. The media is the enemy and it needs to be tamed. And — and this is an important point — President Trump is not abusing the First Amendment when he attacks the media, because he’s not using the power of the government to silence them. (See, e.g., Turkey, Russia, Iran, or the entire Muslim Middle East for examples of government aggression towards media.) Instead, bless his heart, President Trump is using the power of his personality to fight the media at their own of hurling insults game.
You go, guy! That’s all I can say. You’re crude, rude, distracting . . . and very effective.
Laura Rambeau Lee :Regarding the latest Trump Twitter controversy, one question no one is asking is “did Mika and Joe go too far?” They have spent countless hours saying outrageous things about President Trump. Enough is enough! President Trump is using his Twitter posts to communicate directly with the American people and is effective in getting his message delivered free of the negativity and #FakeNews utilized by the main stream media. I am happy President Trump is savvy enough to use these new media tools to his advantage.

Should we be surprised that the mainstream media, WALL STREET JOURNAL, would have in its employ a reporter/creator of fake news.
As is the case of reporter Rebecca Ballhaus who dispatched a tweet misrepresenting her article, “Saudi Arabia, U.A.E. Pledge $100 Million To Word Bank’s Women Entrepreneurs Fund.”
Ballhaus, a propagandist inferred in a tweet that Ivanka Trump was engaging in pay to play scam (not true) which was picked up by the pathological liars on the left who attacked the Trumps, called for resignations, the usual fake news without fact checking.
The false story started with a Wall Street Journal reporter Rebecca Ballhaus misrepresenting an article from her own outlet. The story, “Saudi Arabia, U.A.E. Pledge $100 Million To Word Bank’s Women Entrepreneurs Fund,” says that the president’s daughter proposed the creation of the fund, but “Ms.Trump doesn’t control it or raise money for it.”
Ballhaus, however, said in a tweet that it was “Ivanka’s Women Entrepreneurs Fund.” Reporters ended up picking up on the tweet, and CNN’s Jim Sciutto wrote, “This is virtually identical to what Trump and others in GOP criticized Clinton Foundation for.” His tweet received nearly 10,000 retweets[…]
The Clintons? Really? No, the Trumps are nothing like the Clintons. The article was picked up by The Hill and Market Watch among others only too thrilled to push a lie.
After the fool’s parade, Market Watch posted the following note.
Although Ivanka Trump was behind the idea of the World Bank fund, she reportedly doesn’t control it or raise money for it
(Editor’s note, updating Saturday report: The World Bank on Sunday confirmed the $100 million pledge at its event attended by Ivanka Trump.)
It is time to start suing these pigs. Their intent is to do irrevocable harm.
UPDATE: It is now being reported by Townhall.com, WSJ attempted to correct the misconception.
Wall Street Journal contributor Sohrab Ahmari could only roll his eyes as he tried to correct the misconception.
In fact, if you click on the piece in question, the fact is right there in the opening paragraph.
The World Bank announced Sunday at an event with Ivanka Trump, the U.S. president’s daughter and senior White House adviser, that Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates have pledged a combined $100 million to a fund that will assist women entrepreneurs and small business owners.
To summarize: The Women Entrepreneurs Fund is being championed by Ivanka, but it’s not her charity.
Twitter is now retaliating against anyone not using politically correct language when taking on fascists. Of course, fascists can use the same language against non-fascists without threat of ending up in the penalty box, i.e., timeout.
One can only imagine CEO Jack from Twitter as a kid: He was probably shoved into the corner by his domineering, feminist, gasbag Mother who beat the hell out of him with wet noodle’s and served him time-outs. Barely a few generations after WW2 and this is what we have: Weak, knee-jerk, girly-boys who can’t stand up for themselves, so they push their lady ways all over men who can—hence, the problem with boy Leftists[…]

The Mad Jewess has been shadow banned and had her Twitter account suspended on more than one occasion. Free speech is non-existent on Twitter (and Facebook) unless one is a Progressive.
I’ve been on Twitter since 2009. I have been suspended over and over again. Locked out, you name it. About 3 people actually cared about my suspension and even if they did care, Twitter has me on a shadowban & no one can see any of my tweets anyway..I’ve been banned from one blog after the next, left off of blogs, my blog not linked to other “Conservative” blogs for years. I am the ‘black sheep’ of the pseudo “Conservative” assholes.
I must be awfully powerful if they shadow-banned me…Of course, Left wing “Jews” can’t have right wing Jews speaking out too loudly.. So, they make sure I am not heard because they are evil.
A lot of Tweeters are tweeting me the usual nothingness that does not matter in this world. I can still see Tweets.. Most Conservative Tweeters only care about their celeb status. I only cared that I was truthful and got in the face of leftists who are destroying the west. I tried to do this without breaking Commie Twitter’s rules[…]
