Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? – San Fran Nan and her fellow Democrats recoiled in horror at yet another fantastic jobs report, as the private sector added another 213,000 new jobs in June, once again beating analyst expectations. The jobs report includes new record low unemployment for Hispanic workers and continued record low unemployment for Black workers. Thus, Democrats went into a panic, with Pelosi issuing a statement claiming that “Donald Trump’s reckless policies are hurting millions of hardworking families.” Because lying shamelessly is all they got. A classic case of...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Maxine Waters gets her way in Flyover Country.: Some guy in San Antonio named Kino Jiminez is looking for work today. He lost his job at a bar called Rumble after he was filmed assaulting a teenager at a local Whataburger (good choice!) for having the temerity to wear a “Make America Great Again” cap. In addition to stealing the kid’s cap and verbally abusing him, Mr. Jiminez also threatened him physically and threw a soft drink in his face. Being a liberal idiot, he was no doubt shocked that he ended...

It really is true that there’s been a decline in political civility in recent years. Some say it started with Robert Bork’s 1987 Supreme Court confirmation battle. Whenever it started, we seem to have a hit an all-time low.

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) The Campaign Update wishes you all a very happy Independence Day! Tired of all this Winning yet?: Wal-Mart was discovered to be hawking t-shirts with the slogan “Impeach 45” at its online marketing website, and incredibly bone-headed move by a retailer whose business is largely focused out here in Flyover Country. Enterprising folks on social media responded yesterday morning by calling for a boycott of the company. Within hours, management at Wal-Mart announced it was removing the social justice warrior gear from its digital shelves. #Winning. Yeah, this probably isn’t going to...

Here is a simple rule: you can judge the caliber of President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee by how angry the Democrats get. The smarter and more influential the nominee, in an important sense the more qualified they are, the angrier Democrats will get. This past Wednesday, within hours of Justice Anthony Kennedy’s announced retirement, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced that Democrats will fight against any nominee picked from “President Trump’s pre-ordained list selected by powerful special interests.” It is irrelevant that Trump ran on that list of 25 nominees or that 21 percent of voters considered U.S. Supreme...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) CNN and MSNBC will demonize him for violating traffic laws.: Eric Trump caused panic among his Secret Service security detail on Monday when he rushed into New York City rush hour traffic to wave down a passing ambulance. He took this action in an attempt to aid a woman who had passed out near a train station. No word yet if Maxine Waters will now urge New York City’s drivers to run down anyone named Trump who rushes into a street to save a potentially dying woman, but it seems only a...

Media bias: Wikipedia has repeatedly removed reliably sourced information about how hunting endangered animals, when done properly, makes their populations get bigger Wikipedia has repeatedly removed the following reliably sourced information from its Trophy hunting article. (The deletion history can be seen here, here, here, and here.)In 2015, a Texas hunter who had won an auction paid $350,000 for legal permission to kill an endangered black rhinoceros in Namibia. The Washington Post wrote the following about the particular animal that was chosen for this kill: “The bull, Knowlton said, was a problem in his own herd. The animal was too old...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Well, yes, because she hasn’t uttered an un-scripted word in public in 30 years. – The Pantsuit Princess was over in jolly old England on Friday, making herself a nuisance to the Brits for a change. At one point, she recited a line someone had written for her comparing herself to …wait for it…Winston Churchill! Yes, THAT Winston Churchill. Here’s the line: “I’m sure they said that about Churchill between the wars, didn’t they? I mean, I’m not comparing myself (oh, no, perish the thought!), but I’m just saying people said that,...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) It’s all Donald Trump’s fault! He caused this! Oh, wait… – When some nut job killed five people working at an Annapolis, MD newspaper on Thursday, many of the fake journalists who infest Twitter immediately knee-jerked to the conclusion that the tragic event was all the fault of President Donald Trump. Then it turned out that this guy had had a running feud with the paper since 2011. None of the fake journalists then backed up and blamed Barack Obama. Go figure. But wait, these are the rules you asked for, Congresswoman....

An “off-the-record” private discussion group for left-wing journalists, similar to the controversial “JournoList” cabal, has been discovered. The group, which is hosted on Google Groups, was discovered after messages from New York Magazine journalist Jesse Singal were leaked. “The listserv, per its ‘About’ page, aims to provide an ‘off-the-record discussion forum for left-of-center journalists, authors, academics, and wonks.’ It has been around for at least eight years (I found discussion posts dating back as far as 2010), and has just over 400 members (403 at the time of this writing),” reported Jezebel. “These members include New York Times best-selling authors,...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? Part I – With Justice Anthony Kennedy announcing his long-anticipated retirement from Supreme Court on Wednesday, it was just like Election Night 2016 over at CNN. Check out these looooooooonnnnnng faces: Just charming, aren’t they? Tired of all this Winning yet? Part II – Oh, but it got even better over on Twitter (because liberal outrage and angst is always better on Twitter), with SJWs and snowflakes wailing out their innermost feelings in 280 characters or less. Here are a couple of examples: Matthew K. @mattiek17...

The Evening Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) You could tell Anthony Kennedy was about to retire, because he suddenly started voting consistently the right way on decision after decision after decision over the past month. Indeed, the last 17 5-4 decisions handed down by this Supreme Court all went the way of the Constitution because Kennedy, that perennial disappointment to conservatives everywhere, voted along with the strict constructionist wing of the court. All this new-found consistency for the first time in his 31 years on the court led me to comment to a friend the other day that...

Media bias on the cover of Time magazine: Obama covers vs Trump covers I found this image at this link and thought I’d post it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CringeAnarchy/comments/8u280m/left_wing_bias_101/

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? Part I – President Donald got a yuuuuge win out of the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday as the Court’s conservative majority – you know, the five justices who have actually bothered to read the U.S. Constitution – upheld his travel ban impacting the citizens of seven terrorist-supporting nations. The 5-4 nature of the decision simply reaffirms the fact that the court’s leftists faction is now nothing more than an adjunct of the radical leftwing’s “resistance,” now willing to ignore decades of clear and unambiguous jurisprudence...

Tuesday on Tucker Carlson Tonight Brit Hume laid the blame at the feet of the president. Brit Hume: Let me suggest something here Tucker, the president deserves his share of the responsibility here because he has tossed around the harshest kinds of language.

MSNBC’s Steve Schmidt––who recently left the Republican party––decried the Supreme Court decision upholding President Trump‘s travel ban. Nicolle Wallace talked with her panel about the SCOTUS decision, looking back at how we got from the originally-proposed Muslim ban to here. She said, “I remember people in the intelligence community saying to me, ‘Who do you think we rely on the most in the countries that could represent the greatest geopolitical threats from us?'” Former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence Frank Figliuzzi said that today “we became a little bit less of that shining city on a hill” into a country...

Media bias and Hollywood’s double standard: Roseanne Barr vs. Peter Fonda Peter Fonda recently said:“We should rip Barron Trump from his mother’s arms and put him in a cage with pedophiles.”Fonda’s statement is worse than Roseanne Barr’s earlier statement, because:1) Fonda involves an innocent child who never chose to put himself in the public eye.and2) Fonda tries to incite violence against an innocent person.When I first found out about this, I said to myself, “Let’s see if the media pays less, as much as, or more attention to Fonda’s quote than to Roseanne’s quote.”But then I soon realized that it had...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) This was not the plan for the fake news media. Oh, no – not even close. Part I – President Donald Trump held another of his raucous rallies in South Carolina on Monday, this one in support of the re-election of Governor Henry McMaster, and things just did not go well, not well at all for CNN’s poor little Jim Acosta. First, well before the evening’s program got underway, Acosta was, ahem, ‘accosted’ by someone’s great-grandmother, an older lady who decided it would be fun to hang out near the CNN position...

President Trump mocked "The Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon on Twitter Sunday after the comedian expressed regret over how he handled a guest appearance by then-candidate Trump in September 2016. The president said that Fallon is "whimpering to all that he did the famous 'hair show' with me (where he seriously messed up my hair), & that he would have now done it differently because it is said to have 'humanized' me-he is taking heat."

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Leftists hate you and want to deprive you of your rights, Part 10,983. – The big news on Saturday came with the revelation that the owner of the Red Hen, a small, trendy restaurant located in the Washington, DC suburb of Lexington, VA, kicked White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, her small children and five other members of her family out as they attempted to have dinner there on Friday evening. The establishment’s owner, one Stephanie Wilkinson – who also apparently owns several other businesses in the small town – claims...
