Isn't It A Shame We Don't Have News Media (sm)Jan 15, 2014
in this country to report on the corruption and lies going on in this administration?  We have to read about it at an overseas source or Fox.  Where is our media?  As Mark Levin says, we are witnessing a quiet coup.  Too bad most of the people are too stupid to see it.  Still wining and dining on the Kool-Aid.  link ...

More On Rangel. Now That The News Is Out, More News Is Out.Jul 23, 2010
Nothing like dragging your feet....this all boils down to the 2008 investigation that was started then. Guess they just completed a full investigation now.

Rangel violated congressional ethics rules and that it will prepare for a trial, probably beginning in September. The panel is expected to make the details of his alle ...

Despite Media Hype,Sep 10, 2012
Politico’s “Unnamed Sources” say Ohio is lost for Mitt Romney. Like hell it is. They say Obama got a serious bounce from the DNC. Like hell he did. Whatever bounce Obama got was in the blue states. In the swing states, it’s still way too close to call. Today’s Rasmussen poll results show that in the eleven swing states, including Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin, which total 145 electoral votes, it ...

What The Media (and The GOP Elite) Don't Get About Trump.Aug 03, 2016
Politicians are skilled in the art of "making nice", "saying nothing", obscuring their positions (i.e., Clinton is actually quite hawkish but hides it from her base), answering questions with nonsequiturs or completely ignoring the question and shifting the ground of discussion, etc. Trump, on the other hand, comes from a different world.  This is a world where, if a contractor painted the wall yellow and it was supposed to be green, you didn't pretend that the wall was green in order ...
