Today’s Campaign Update – The Week in Review
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Posted on 09/15/2018 2:10:25 PM PDT by EyesOfTX

Today’s Campaign Update – The Week in Review (Because The Campaign Never Ends) This week, we introduce a new feature at the Campaign Update – The Week in Review.

Ok, actually we introduced this last Friday evening, but failed to take the time and space to point it out. We’re going to plan to post one of these every Saturday afternoon at least through the end of this year’s mid-term election campaign, at which point the plan is to assess their utility (and readership level) and decide whether they should be continued.

In putting these Campaign Updates together every morning, it often becomes impossible to adequately capture all the big things that are taking place related to our national politics. Every day has multiple news cycles, as the leftwingers in our fake news media and the Democrat Party become increasingly panicked about their prayed-for “Blue Wave” failing to materialize and the growing reality that Robert Mueller is systematically taking the steps necessary to wind down his fruitless “investigation.”

We can only expect the pace of fakenewsery to speed up even more during the 8 weeks remaining until Election Day, meaning that, in order to keep everyone updated on the campaign, the Campaign Update must work a little overtime.

The plan here is to summarize the week’s major events in bullet point format, heaping as many insults and pithy comments upon all the snowflakes, SJWs, fake newsers and other creatures on the political left as we can think to include. Links to relevant stories will, as always, be included where relevant and useful.

So here we go with the Campaign Update Week in Review, Episode 2.

This was the week that all the following happened:

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, a shameless SJW himself, admitted that his “conservative employees “don’t feel safe to express their opinions” while in the Twitter corporate workplace. Man, what do you think tipped him off?

Meanwhile, over at Google, tapes of a leadership team meeting that took place shortly after the 2016 election revealed that, contrary to their pious claims of impartiality, the social media behemoth does indeed do everything it can to distort its search results in favor of liberals. Very predictably, none of the TV networks, nor CNN or the NYTimes or Washington posted devoted any time or space to covering this major story. Go figure.

The Washington Post told us that President Donald Trump is “complicit” in the creation of Hurricane Florence because he doesn’t spout the dogma of the religion of Climate Change, but oddly gave him no credit at all for the hurricane’s being downgraded from a Cat 4 storm to a Cat 1 as it approached the Eastern Seaboard. Odd.

The fake news media’s coverage of the leadup to and destruction caused by Florence was every bit as fake as one would have expected, as the fake journalists did everything they could think of to use the storm to try to damage President Trump and any other random Republican who got in the way. So tiresome.

We learned that RINO Senator Ben Sasse “thinks about leaving the Republican Party” every morning. So go already.

President Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was restored over last weekend, and has, as of this writing, remained unmolested by enraged social justice warriors a full week later. Amazing.

Speaking of stories the mainstream fake news media couldn’t be bothered to spend a second reporting, a Republican candidate for congress out in California was stabbed by a lunatic supporter of his Democrat rival, incumbent congressman Eric Swalwell, who I remain convinced played Otter in the 1978 film “Animal House.” When Swalwell was interviewed on CNN the very next day, he was not asked a single question about the stabbing by the fake news hack doing the interview. *sigh*

Les Moonves got his sorry butt “MeToo’d” out of his job as CEO of CBS. The management at CBS was so angry at all the bad PR Moonves brought the organization that they sent him packing with a severance deal totaling only about $100 million. Not kidding.

San Fran Nan said she agrees that, where the Democrats are concerned, “it’s time for new blood and we should move on.” That’s the good part. But in her next breath, she promised to continuing clinging to power so long as Donald Trump is President: “to have no woman at the table and to have the Affordable Care Act at risk, I said, ‘As long as he’s here, I’m here.” Oh, goody.

Paul Manafort “flipped” in order to get a plea deal from Bob Mueller, but it’s an open question whether his flipping is any sort of bad news for President Trump or just for Tony Podesta, with whom Manafort partnered to lobby for some Ukrainian clients during the Obama Administration. Given that all the charges that Mueller had brought against Manafort were from that long ago period of time, the latter seems most likely.

Political fabulist Bob Woodward’s new book trashing President Trump immediately topped all the best-seller lists, but it turned out that possibly the most damaging allegation in it relates not to the President, but to Obama’s CIA Director, the execrable John Brennan. Oh, my.

Corrupt New York Mayor Andrew Cuomo sent the eternally irritating Marxist Cynthia Nixon packing, and nobody really cared.

The New York Times tried to smear Nikki Haley and it backfired immensely, proving that sometimes justice still does prevail in this country.

Late in the week, despicable California Senator Dianne Feinstein pulled a last minute stunt to try to derail the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, but when even the fakenewsers at the Washington Post were ridiculing the highly-predictable tactic, it quickly became obvious that it won’t work.

With the final Senate floor vote not scheduled to take place until September 29, though, no one should blithely assume that Feinstein and her fellow depraved Democrats are finished trying to slander the nominee. They probably have several more arrows in that Luciferian quiver they drag around with them.

Stay tuned.

That is all.

I think Repubs are going to absolutely obliterate the living effin crap out of the commies in November. Why? Because moderate democrats are leaving that party in droves because of the absolute insanity that has taken it over plus a lot of blacks and Hispanics have moved towards Trump because of the economy and jobs. It may look like most people are stupid but that’s because the media only focuses on them, but in the background people aren’t about to destroy a good thing. They see the economy, the record jobs, and why fix what ain’t broke? All those people seeing how well their 401Ks are doing, they see wages rising, job opportunities opening and the commies can make Trump look like a crook all they want, that means nothing to the average person who already sees Washington as corrupt. I think the midterms are going to shock the commies even worse than Trump winning the election and THEN they are going to ramp up the violence even more

The reason for my tagline- Trump is going to campaign as tirelessly the next month as he did in the 2016 election. Plus, more republicans voted in the primaries than democrats.

The current Democrat Party actually does not have one real, effective, powerful leader. The Obama, Clinton, Biden, campaign antics will lead to nowhere in political gain. In fact...it will cause the awakening of millions of “Trump Supporters”, who in turn, will turn out in huge numbers on election day, November 6, 2018, giving the Trump GOP a massive victory across the board.

Well...we already know that Clinton and Biden cannot fill a VFW hall with rally attendees and Obama ain’t too swift in that department either. This week it was said that 3000, folks attended his political speech in Ohio. Nothing to brag about and, many news outlets hesitated to comment on attendee turnout...so, I believe he was lucky to get 1500 folks.

One thing is quite certain, Obama is no match for POTUS, Trump in getting the faithful to turn out to attend their rallies. So...the Dems using Clinton, Obama & Biden is a gift from on high!!! And..it keeps on giving...non-stop, to help & assist the GOP & POTUS, Trump.
