The media continues to slit their own throats with the American people.
The latest tempest in a tea kettle is their willful misrepresentation of Trump’s statements regarding Liz Cheney.
Because I’m actually paying attention. Because I really want to know if Trump is the monster he’s consistently made out to be. Because I’m kind of interested in how these horrific misrepresentations get started, then gain a life of their own. And because I have a fair understanding of the English Language and believe words have actual meanings.
I listen carefully to what Trump says.
Painful as it is, I also listen very carefully to what Biden and Harris say as well.
Joe Biden did in fact call 1/2 of the country “Garbage” he didn’t stutter, he didn’t have an apostrophe in supporters.
Trumps actual Cheney comment was something every single one of us who is honestly anti-war has said at some time or another. I’m a hot head, when someone messes with my country, I tend to shoot my mouth off. Which is why I’m on record in this blog saying that I believe the joint chiefs and military advisors to The President should be men and women who have actually seen combat.
I believe this is especially true if the sitting President has never been in the military.
My reasoning is simple. Military people who have seen combat are likely to want to seek diplomatic solutions before sending troops to war. They’re not afraid of war, but understand it is inherently wasteful and horrific.
I say that as someone who’s never served and I might be talking out my ass.
So I might shoot my mouth off and say something stupid like “Kill ‘em all” of our enemies, upon reflection I come back to my generally anti-war stance.
I do believe when dumb fucks, even me, start shouting for war, they should be willing to pick up a rifle and march into battle right along with the actual troops. There should never be rear echelon motherfuckers or desk jockeys that never pissed themselves under fire.
I could be wrong about that and welcome comments from actual soldiers.
The Trump comment every news media outlet ran with came during an interview with Tucker Carlson. Prior to the “Actual” comment, Trump was detailing his anti-war stance.
What Trump actually said is:
“[Dick Cheney’s] daughter’s a very dumb individual, very dumb. She’s a radical Warhawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face. You know, they’re all Warhawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, “Aw gee, well, let’s send ten thousand troops into the mouth of the enemy.” But she’s a stupid person.”
In other words, Trump called out Liz Cheney for being pro war, just like her father Dick Cheney who made a shit ton of money via the Military Industrial Complex and his Vice Presidency.
Nowhere in Trump’s comment did he say anything about a firing squad, or any of the bullshit the media was spewing on Thursday and Friday.
In other words the media lied…
AGAIN!
Not only did they lie, they all parroted the same damn story pretty much verbatim and not one of these outlets had the integrity to fact check. Perhaps it’s the fault of their DEI hires who can’t read, write, add, or subtract, but whose college loans were paid for, by Biden violating a Supreme Court Order.
It’s only this morning that even the most radical of these organizations are saying, “Nah, he didn’t say let’s execute Cheney.” But they’re doing it quietly and the damage is done.
The news cycle has ended for the week. This was nothing more than a blatant attempt to screw Trump one last time before the election. It should be called what it is and the punishment should be liberally applied. This is/was election interference. The talking heads, wags and pundits should all be held to account for it.
CBS, ABC, FOX, & NBC should be fined because they allowed this unchecked unverified lie to be broadcast over the public airwaves in violation of their broadcast licenses.
The thing is, there are people who heard a 15 second sound bite on the boob tube on CNN and thought “Typical! Trump is gonna be a dictator so he’s working on his list of political prisoners.”
Those are the folks that believe all the other now debunked lies about Trump. From “Very Fine People” to Trump will institute a Nation wide Abortion ban, or as Whoopie Goldberg spewed the other day Trump was gonna reassign white men to white women when he deported the people of color.
She’s completely insane and should be taken off the air for any number of reasons so I didn’t bother to write about her wacko rant this week. I assume my readers know insane & stupid when they see it.
These are people who believe that the Hunter Laptop is the work of a Russian disinformation campaign. (I knew the laptop was real and explained my reasoning in a post in 2022)
I’d looked at it as soon as the data on the drive was leaked in 2020. Then the data got scrubbed and I hadn’t backed up the filth. The 2020 analysis was a pithy expose about the lies from the intelligence community. But since I hadn’t finished the analysis and no longer had the data I deleted the original piece. I do have some standards & honestly was a bit afraid of the FBI kicking my door down.
After 8-10 years of lies mixed with the occasional bit of truth about Trump we’ve come to the Joseph Gobbels point in our program.
“Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident they are acting on their own free will.” — Joseph Gobbels
I think at this point we can objectively prove that the media is the propaganda arm of the Democrat party and that it’s very possible the Democrat party will be rebranding itself and the Democratic Nationalist Communist Party any day now. That last bit is probably incorrect, however at this point I wouldn’t be surprised.
The Democrat party “Feels” a lot more communist than I can recall in my lifetime. But it’s worse than that, there’s an almost religious dogmatic feel that I find extremely disturbing and uncomfortable.
I’d fearlessly walk into a Republican Party convention or meeting and disagree with a point or points.
I wouldn’t dare do the same at a Democrat event. They have literally become the party of Karens and Scolds who thoughtlessly shut down, or more properly shout down, dissent.
That’s a lot closer to communism or religion than actually being concerned with governance for my tastes.
The media does a great job of reenforcing the propaganda. They literally tell us what we’re seeing isn’t happening and stunningly, people believe what they’re told instead of what they see and experience.
This coming Tuesday will be interesting.
Will the propaganda machine be powerful enough to overcome a Trump win? Will enough people believe it? What if Kamala actually does win? How much effort will the Propaganda machine exert to prop her up, as unlikeable as she is? If Trump wins how many celebrities will follow through on their threats to leave the country?
I guess we’ll have to wait on the “Film at 11” Tuesday evening.
In no case though will we ever have an apology or contrition on the park of our News Agencies. I guarantee they’ll pull the “We were only following orders” defense.
Uh Huh, I’ll bet they are.
That would have given the Sunday Morning chat hosts something to whine about.
CNN Your source for stupid bitches!
There’s a report that Biden’s X/Twitter account called Trump a wannabe Dictator minutes before the assassination attempt.
In fact it looks kinda like they’re reversing course because the assassination failed, what would they have been saying if Trump was assassinated? 
That you or I are uncertain about the answer, suggests an uncomfortable truth.
While I don’t particularly care for Alex Jones, he’s kinda the poster boy for what happens when you say something powerful people don’t like.
The difference is that Jones, reached tons of people, Jones hurt people’s feelings, Jones may have on more than one occasion correctly called out other shit the government did, that the government didn’t want to be well known.
One, is a leftist, the other is rightwing. 
There is a 
There was a time when any threat against any sitting president would get you arrested, handcuffed to a chair naked, sprayed with ice water occasionally, all while answering questions from the FBI and Secret Service, then you’d get to spend time in front of a judge.
Now those same actors, politicians, media whores, and talk show hosts are expressing their outrage about rhetoric and they’re trying to make it sound like Trump, MAGA, and their fevered dreams of some boogy man white supremacist army, 
CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, and CBS would all be broadcasting images of empty sets and anchor chairs with shots echoing in the background.
We don’t believe the ends justify the means. We still have some semblance of moral code and our moral compasses point mostly North. We believe in the rule of law.
Even when the law has been perverted and twisted in the pursuit of destroying one man, we believe that a higher court will see justice done.
I should also point out that independent state audits of election results in Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania have recently concluded there were miscounts and large numbers of illegitimate ballots. The significance of these conclusions is yet to be determined.
Trump has been censored by big tech. For that matter, so have Average Americans.
Trump has been Impeached twice
Trump is accused of being Hitler
The Biden campaign, the day before Trump was shot, tweeted something about Trump being equal to Hitler.
Biden loves to threaten that he’s going to use military forces on 1/2 of the United States population should they rise up against his ridiculous administration. He loves to point out AR-15s are ineffective against F-16s. I realize this is a statement of fact, probably the only true thing Biden has said in decades, but honestly, I can’t help but take it as a threat. Oh, and he’d have to violate The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 that prevents use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies. I suspect that is why Biden refers to MAGA, and White Supremacists as a “Clear and Present Danger”. That’s probably the only way his administration could get around The Posse Comitatus Act.
Biden destroyed morale in the border patrol and reduced their effectiveness, then increased the number of migrant deaths at the border when he falsely accused Texas border agents of “Strapping” migrants from horseback. Biden was wrong, he’s never apologized, and Texas border patrol can’t use horses anymore. But wait, there’s more. The immigrants in question were Haitian and the Biden administration was returning Haitians to Haiti so the Haitians thought for a moment the Biden administration would be lenient and merciful but “NO” Haitians get deported.
Let’s not forget that during COVID, actors, politicians, media whores, and talk show hosts were calling for anyone who was vaccine hesitant to be placed in re-education camps, “For the greater good”. Biden was calling those people “Dangers and Piriahs” on TV weekly.
By the way, the actors, politicians, media whores, talk show hosts, and doctors who were so happy to walk all over our freedom and right to bodily autonomy. Who were so happy to demand actions in violation of the Nuremberg code, now would like for everyone to forgive and forget their complicity in what honestly might have been a crime against humanity.
All of this, every bit of the events of the past 8 or so years, would been enough, in a lesser country, to have triggered a violent coup d’état.
It’s a real good thing that I had a bourbon or two before the SOTU address. Otherwise I’d have thrown a rock through the television. (Shooting a Television as some of my southern ancestors tended to do, is a waste of ammunition. Rocks are easier to come by and you can wind up a nice baseball pitch with them. Or you can just use a baseball.)
I’m tired of the gaslighting. I’m tired of the spin. I’m tired of the lies and half truths. I’m tired of the “Revelations” and “New Information” that is actually old stuff that we all knew, or suspected that was denied, or swept under the carpet.
WHAT THE FUCK? So for the past three years while you assholes had control and Donald Fucking Trump didn’t have control of anything in the government, the border was secure? Well assholes, Trump still has no control over anything in the government so what’s changed? 
But now, it’s too late. The damage is done the FBI is telling us that something akin to 9/11 isn’t just possible it’s probable. It’s only a matter of when some terrorist group or groups decide to start setting off bombs, or flying planes into building, or shooting up large gatherings, or blowing up school busses. 
No matter what happens in the upcoming election. Whoever or whatever was running the Biden Administration will have succeeded in destroying this country.
The media telling us that everything is fine. The economy is doing well, prices are falling, and if you’re not seeing this golden age you’re obviously a MAGA White Supremacist.
For someone like me, this kind of crap is literally painful. It’s like having a constant buzzing in your ear that you can’t get away from. It takes cycles out of my brain and sucks up time because I can’t believe what I’m hearing and l have to get to the bottom of it.
Shock Pants were created by Scott Adams in the Dilbert comic strip and also appeared in the Dilbert TV series. I’m not sure which appearance came first.
