Bourgeois Jim “Lacoste”
Funny how President Donald Trump told the presidente of Mexico (Enrique Peña Nieto) to stop saying Mexico won’t pay for the Border Wall – and he did. …
What’s wrong with Fareed? (And Addio Scaramucci!)
Mon Jul 31 2017: What’s wrong with Fareed? Fareed Zakaria – still mad that he promised a landslide loss for Donald Trump in the presidential election – prodded Trump today calling him the ultimate “bluffer” on the issue of North Korea. Not a good idea. I wouldn’t call his bluffs if I were you, Fareed…
Jeff Sessions
Thu Jul 27, 2017: Attorney General Jeff Sessions has somehow been adopted by the Left and News Media as the poster boy for – get this – Cyber Bullying. People from outside and inside the White House are decrying (and crying over) President Trump’s tweets about his “beleaguered” AG. …
Scaramuch, Scaramuch!
Monday Jul 24: “We have what we call in the Wall St business an arbitrage spread between how we feel about the President, and how the people and the media feel.” With that quote on Friday, I think I’m going to like the new White House Communications Director, Anthony Scaramucci. Sean Spicer officially resigned. In…
Gut Check
Today is gut check day. The day after a small summit meeting between these United States and Russia. Things were said, promises made, doubts were raised. And in the end, we will see whether Russia can be honest and trustworthy going forward. In years past these tete a tetes ended with Russia saying one thing…
#MikaGate
Jun 29, 2017: Another White House Press Briefing, another circus show. Sarah Huckabee Sanders hosted today’s briefing, live on tv, (You’re welcome, CNN) and all hell broke loose on her about the President’s Tweet about MSNBC Newsanchor, Mika Brzezinski. Do you think Sean Spicer and Sarah flip a coin or draw straws before…
Jim Acosta – Not a Beauty
Mon June 19, 2017 — CNN’s White House correspondent Jim Acosta lost his mind on live television yesterday. (Well who doesn’t on CNN?) Jim was vexed that the White House did not allow audio or video recordings of the daily press briefing with Sean Spicer. Being his belittling self, Donald Trump called Jim a “real…
June 8, 2017
Former FBI Director James Comey on Thursday accused President Donald Trump of lying when he said in the aftermath of Comey’s firing that the bureau was in disarray and that its agents had lost confidence in its leader. “Those were lies, plain and simple,” Comey told the Senate Intelligence Committee. No… It’s a statement…
The Comey Supremacy
Comey testified today – not impressive. The media is holding up former FBI Director James Comey as the best thing since J Edgar Hoover. Give me a break. All that kept coming out of Comey today were the weak words, “queasy,” (let’s not forget his other phrase “mildly nauseous” from before), and “Oh Lordy.”…
The Comey Ultimatum
Former FBI Director James Comey released his statement to Congress a day ahead of his testimony, so the circus really has come early to town. CNN is aghast and agog at the essay he has written, documenting his conversations and meetings with President Donald Trump in their brief time working together. Eight people on CNN…
CNN Reporting
“Sources Say,” that Russia held ‘derogatory’ information about the Trump presidential campaign. First there was collusion between the campaign and Russia, now Russia was going to interfere with the Trump campaign. Before this, Russia was emboldened to meddle in the 2016 presidential election. Previously, Russian president Vladimir Putin was out to get the Democrat candidate…
House Intel Hearing
Why is everyone being so evasive on this Russia-issue? “I refuse to acknowledge that question; I don’t think that’s inappropriate to talk about in an open session; I’m not going to respond; with respect I will not recognize that question.”1 We are learning new ways to say No, but not getting any closer to understanding…
Trump’s Intel
Can we put this issue to rest yet? (Didn’t think so.) Our President Trump did not disclose classified information, nor methods or sources, to Russian officials last week in the Oval Office. (Booo! He committed Treason!) No, he didn’t you lunatics. And if anyone listened to half of the stories dripping out over the past…
The Comey Identity.
I really don’t know where to start with this Comey chaos story. There are too many side stories and such unimportant noise that is reported, I’m left with the impression that there aren’t any journalists out there who can identify a fact or a lead or a story if one jumped out of the water…
The Comey Letter.
I don’t think CNN is going to make it through the week given the reaction to the President’s firing of FBI director Jimmy Comey. But we’ve seen this before after Donald Trump does something to send them into the stratosphere; yet they always seem to pick up the pieces and put them back together in…
