Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Donald Trump is going to be re-elected in a landslide in 2020. In reality, the Democrats are behaving as if they already know their fate is basically sealed. That’s what all these congressional investigations are really all about – a panicked effort to keep portraying a duly-elected President as if he’s a criminal in the wake of the impending end of the failed Mueller Witch Hunt. Those investigations will fail, just as Mueller has failed, to “get” the President, because the President is not a crook. Jerrold Nadler and his House Judiciary...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) The Pantsuit Princess makes it official. Sort of. Ok, not really. – The Grasping Grifter is back in the news this morning with the word that she has officially made it officially official that she’s officially not officially running for the Democrat nomination in 2020, and that’s official. Wait, no it’s not – it’s not official at all. Here is what she actually told a local reporter with Channel 12 in Westchester, New York: “I’m not running, but I’m going to keep on working and speaking and standing up for what I...

Life at the tippy-top sure does increase the old carbon footprint. – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the dim-witted freshman Democrat from the Bronx, or somewhere, took incoming fire from the leering press over the weekend when it was revealed that she isn’t exactly walking her Global Church of Climate Change talking points. Fresh off of saying “Climate Change” is a “national emergency” that mandates the elimination of gasoline-powered cars and proclaiming that “We’re like, ‘The world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change.’ And, like, this is the war; this is our World War II,” it...

The Campaign Update Week in Review (Because The Campaign Never Ends) The Week in Review, courtesy of the @GDBlackmon Twitter Feed… The week kicked off with a controversy about a 48 year-old interview in Playboy Magazine with John Wayne.

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Man, that global warming is wreaking havoc in California. Oh, wait… – Scientists have been recording daily temperatures in Los Angeles for 132 years. In all that time, they have never recorded a month of February during which the mercury did not top 70 degrees Fahrenheit on at least one day. But then 2019 came along, and the temperature in LA remained below the 70 degree level for the entire 28 days. Can there be any doubt that the “scientists” at NOAA who have spent the last decade defrauding the historic global...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Gosh, so hard to imagine why this would be the case, right? – A new Columbia Journalism Review poll finds that trust in our fake news media has pretty much gone as low as it can go, with the only group expressing a more positive than negative view of the press being … wait for it… DEMOCRATS. Because of course the group in our society whose personal biases are the same as those reporting and shaping what passes for the “news” these days are going to tend to trust the press. I...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) “I have lied, but I am not a liar. Now, let me introduce my wife, er, ah, ummmm…Morgan Fairchild. Yeah, that’s the ticket!” – As their first witness in the 106th congress, Chairman Elijah Cummings and the Democrats who now run the House Oversight Committee called as their very first witness Michael Cohen, a man who will soon be going away to federal prison for the crime of …wait for it…LYING TO CONGRESS. You seriously cannot make this stuff up. Presumably, their next witness will be this guy: Yeah, I know –...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Life at the Tippy-top can be hard. – Tuesday was a tough one for freshman congress member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, our intrepid nitwit from the Bronx. Or is she? From the Bronx, that is. First, she had to fend off legitimate questions about whether she even lives in the district she pretends to represent in congress, a problem for a growing number of Democrats, including Maxine Waters. Then she came under fire for the pay policy she has implemented among her staff, which includes a salary cap of $80,000, with a floor of...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Soulless ghouls. – Last night, 44 of the 47 Senate Democrats voted against a bill designed to protect the lives of babies born into this world after failed attempts by abortionists to murder them while in the womb. The other three apparently didn’t have the courage to even show up and be counted. 44 soulless ghouls – including every one of the half-dozen or so Democrat senators running for the presidency. This is the state of your Democrat Party today. You can have it. Here is how the President responded to this...

I repeat, we must take this insane “Green New Deal” very seriously… – because the Democrats aren’t kidding, hard as that might be for any sane person to believe. You may have noticed that the only part of the “Green New Deal” that has disappeared from the news media since its hysterically absurd rollout a few weeks back is the details. The raging Bronx nitwit Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez quickly removed her third-grade-level talking points document from her website after it was widely panned on social media, but that hasn’t stopped the fake, “mainstream” news media from doing its dead-level best to...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Things I wonder about… – With all the amazing, near magical things mankind has invented in modern times, isn’t it sort of amazing that no one has been able to come up with a banana that lasts longer than five days after bring it home before it starts to spoil? Liberals, liberals, where are all the liberals? – Gallup released a new survey last night that claims to show that self-identifying “liberals” outnumber self-identifying “conservatives” in only six states, and get this – California is NOT among them. Huh??? Yes, friends and...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Hey, it worked for that other racist over in Virginia. – Virginia’s baby-killing racist governor Ralph Northam appears to have shown the way for leftwing nitwits caught doing bad things all over the nation, and Jussie Smollett’s been paying attention. Basically, Gov. Blackface’s strategy has been to lie, deny and go about his business, a strategy copied by his Lt. Governor and Attorney General, all of whom have survived the media firestorm, such as it was, surrounding their bad acts, and continue to govern the once-great Commonwealth. Actors, even bad ones, are...

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Jussie, we hardly knew ye. – And just like that, Jussie Smollett’s obvious hoax, which was promoted by the entirety of your fake news media and a raft of craven Democrat politicians for two solid weeks because it fit their anti-Trump narrative, came to a crashing end. In case you missed it, news came down last night that Chicago Police had charged the neurotic actor with felony disorderly conduct and filing a false report. And thus, yet another media-promoted hoax – which was an obvious hoax from its first fake...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Man, no one could have seen this coming. Oh, wait…. – Way back in September, the Campaign Update informed its loyal readers (thanks to all of you) that the signs were obvious that Gestapo Chief…er, “Special Counsel” Robert Mueller was systematically going about the process of wrapping things up. We speculated at the time that it would likely take several months for Mueller to complete the process, given that he he likely still had more ham sandwich indictments to pursue, was still at the time hoping to personally interview President Donald Trump,...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Which “indigenous” people would those be, Senator? – Kirsten Gillibrand, who actually is running for president in 2020 even though pretty much no one but the fawning press appears to be aware of it, agreed with a leftist activist yesterday that a border wall is “absurd” because it “cuts off so many indigenous people.” Which “indigenous” people would those be, I wonder? It certainly wouldn’t be the tens of thousands of mostly-male, military-age “asylum seekers” from Central and South America who now form the great preponderance of those illegally crossing our border...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) In the future you might want to read your own Twitter feed, Senator. – Trust me on this, you do not want to be the staffer who runs Kamala Harris’s Twitter feed today. At a campaign event in New Hampshire, the not-ready-for-prime-time presidential candidate was asked an actual question by a non-CNN reporter who wasn’t interested in helping her try on clothes, and mass stammering and dissembling ensued: Embedded video Tim Young ✔ @TimRunsHisMouth AWKWARD: Kamala Harris on her Jussie Smollett 'modern day lynching' tweet... a.k.a. What it looks like when you've...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) These particular white supremacists don’t appear to fit the profile. – If you’ve been keeping up with the whole Jussie Smollett hoax, you’ll know that the cat finally rushed out of the bag on Friday, when Chicago police released a photo of the two “attackers” who Smollett had described as being white supremacists wearing MAGA caps and screaming “this is Trump country!” while they assaulted him. Here’s the photo of the “white supremacists”: Oh. Turns out these are two brothers from Nigeria who are now confirming to police what some of us...

The two Nigerian brothers arrested in connection with the assault on "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett are no longer suspects in the attack. They're now cooperating with police. A source close to the investigation confirms to CBS News the brothers told detectives Smollett paid them to participate in the alleged attack on January 29 and that they purchased the rope — which was found around Smollett's neck — at a nearby hardware store. The source said detectives have evidence to corroborate the sale, something the men's attorney alluded to Friday night. "New evidence that was brought to their attention, obviously I...

Pushed beyond their limits by prolonged waits in dangerous and squalid conditions in parts of Northern Mexico, thousands of caravan members who had been waiting to seek asylum in the United States appear to have given up, Mexican officials said, dealing President Trump an apparent win after a humbling week for his immigration agenda. About 6,000 asylum seekers who had traveled en masse, many of them in defiance of Mr. Trump’s demands that they turn around, arrived in Northern Mexico in late November as part of a caravan that originated in Honduras. Since then, more than 1,000 have accepted an...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) See something, say something, do something. – President Donald Trump has seen a national emergency developing along our southern border for several years now, and he’s been saying that for a long time now. On Thursday, left with no other choice by ineffective Republicans who have no spine and Democrats who refuse to negotiate, the President did exactly as he has been promising to do and declared the situation to be a national emergency. Naturally, the fake news media/Democrat axis of disinformation portrayed the declaration as the end of American society as...
