And… They’ve Learned Nothing.

Media Trump 43 Comments

The media spin on President Elect Donald J. Trump’s sit down with the New York Times on November 22, can only be described as dishonest. Trump appears to soften stance on climate change & Donald Trump backflips on climate change & Trump on climate change in major U-turn
The ‘fake news’ that Trump had somehow moderated or changed his “global warming” views was not supported by the full transcript of the meeting.

Here, Tell These People Something They Don’t Know About Me

Ok, one more time.

Here is what the cosmopolitan class still does not get: It’s not just Donald Trump you are making fun of it, is people outside your circle, it is the voters whose sentiments and values that have been the punch line of Hollywood’s jokes for their entire lives.
And along comes this guy who finally says enough is enough, and they like it, said retired business executive Bill Englert, of New Kensington, Penn. “Trump is standing up for the so called deplorables, intolerables and irredeemables excoriated by Hillary and the left,” he said.
At the Golden Dawn restaurant bar in Youngtown, a group of fraternity brothers, a mix of both Trump and Clinton supporters, all agreed that what people like about Trump is that he emotes strength, stands up for himself, and — most of all — irritates reporters.
There is no subtlety in the elite’s perception of the rest of the country; they don’t think you respect them, or view them as equal.

Thanks to a tip from C_Miner, here is 30 minutes of pure delight, watching the smug, arrogant Young Turks coverage of the 2016 Presidential Campaign. Then fun starts about 3 minutes in but do watch it from the beginning and see the smiles wiped off of the face of Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and their minions. Also pay attention to Uygur’s anger & swearing go from 1 to 11 in mere minutes. It’s a beautiful thing!

Imagine being in a relationship with one of these conceited, pompous, self-righteous, egotistical snobs. How could you EVER have a reasonable discussion?!
Around 17 minutes in, Uygur threatens to tour the Red States and teach people there how to think. Just envision how that’s going to work.

Steve Bannon vs. the Media Party

2016 Media Trump 20 Comments

Anyone who chooses to look beyond the headlines, knows fully well that media outlets “bend the truth” to their point of view. This is often done through obfuscation (leaving out facts) rather than outright lying. But post-election, it has become very clear that many “journalists” have decided to discard their ethics and professionalism entirely by stating that Trump’s special advisor, Steve Bannon, is an anti-semite. This is simply the opposite of the truth!
Finally Bannon has spoken out in a feature length interview with Kimberley Strassel:

He continues: “How can you take anything seriously from a media apparatus–paid the amount of money you people are paid–that systematically missed something that was so obvious, that missed Brexit, that missed the Trump revolution? You’d have thought they’d have learned their lesson on November 8.”
Slight pause. “They clearly haven’t.”
Anti-Semitic? “Breitbart is the most pro-Israel site in the United States of America. I have Breitbart Jerusalem, which I have Aaron Klein run with about 10 reporters there. We’ve been leaders in stopping this BDS movement”–meaning boycott, divestment and sanctions–“in the United States; we’re a leader in the reporting of young Jewish students being harassed on American campuses; we’ve been a leader on reporting on the terrible plight of the Jews in Europe.” He adds that given his many Jewish partners and writers, “guys like Joel Pollak, these claims of anti-Semitism just aren’t serious. It’s a joke.”

Are Democrats Capable of Dropping their Identity Silos and Treating Everyone Equally?

2016 Baiting The Left Baiting the Right Trump 10 Comments

A Columbia University Humanities Professor, Mark Lilla, has written a very interesting column called The End of Identity Liberalism. Ignore the obvious shots at Trump & Republicans, remembering what audience he is primarily trying to reach. To Leftists, who have been deeply indoctrinated in the propaganda of Identity Politics for many decades now – younger ones know nothing else – Lilla makes a compelling argument about why this must come to an abrupt halt if the Democrats have any hope of rising from the ashes.

One of the many lessons of the recent presidential election campaign and its repugnant outcome is that the age of identity liberalism must be brought to an end. Hillary Clinton was at her best and most uplifting when she spoke about American interests in world affairs and how they relate to our understanding of democracy. But when it came to life at home, she tended on the campaign trail to lose that large vision and slip into the rhetoric of diversity, calling out explicitly to African-American, Latino, L.G.B.T. and women voters at every stop. This was a strategic mistake. If you are going to mention groups in America, you had better mention all of them. If you don’t, those left out will notice and feel excluded. Which, as the data show, was exactly what happened with the white working class and those with strong religious convictions. Fully two-thirds of white voters without college degrees voted for Donald Trump, as did over 80 percent of white evangelicals.

While some of the commenters are too far gone to grasp the author’s message, many did. Here are some examples:

Pop Quiz: During the recent U.S. Presidential Election Campaign, which media outlets chose to regurgitate falsehoods rather than strive to adhere to some reasonable semblance of the truth? If you’re a regular reader of SDA then you very well know who would be at the top of that list.
This is beyond frightening if it comes to pass:

The list of “fake news websites” comes from one Melissa Zimdars, a devout Leftist SJW.

The MSM Continues Its Death Spiral

Baiting The Left Media Trump 35 Comments

Anyone who thought the members of the media would have learned how incredibly wrong they were about the recent presidential election … must have been drunk. The latest proof of #TEDS (Trump Extreme Derangement Syndrome) comes from hyper-leftie, David Remnick:

The election of Donald Trump to the Presidency is nothing less than a tragedy for the American republic, a tragedy for the Constitution, and a triumph for the forces, at home and abroad, of nativism, authoritarianism, misogyny, and racism. Trump’s shocking victory, his ascension to the Presidency, is a sickening event in the history of the United States and liberal democracy. On January 20, 2017, we will bid farewell to the first African-American President–a man of integrity, dignity, and generous spirit–and witness the inauguration of a con who did little to spurn endorsement by forces of xenophobia and white supremacy. It is impossible to react to this moment with anything less than revulsion and profound anxiety.

A discussion of Remnick’s mental health can be heard here.

Dissecting the Trump Presidency

Trump 24 Comments

In a very detailed column, Milo Yiannopoulos outlines how various groups will be effected by Trump’s election victory:

  • Protesters
  • Hoaxers
  • Establishment Republicans
  • The Democrat Party
  • Celebrities
  • The Media
  • The Deplorables

Further to the Democrats, what do you envision will happen to this party over the next 4 years? Do you think they’ll learn their lessons and course correct or do you think they’ll steer into the skid and move even further Left?

Noam Chomsky: ‘The Republican Party Has Become the Most Dangerous Organization in World History’

Baiting The Left Trump 48 Comments

Any hope that Leftists would regain their sanity and be willing to discuss issues in a reasonable manner have quickly evaporated. The latest evidence comes from Noam Chomsky in a recent interview with EcoWatch:

On Nov. 8, the most powerful country in world history, which will set its stamp on what comes next, had an election. The outcome placed total control of the government–executive, Congress, the Supreme Court–in the hands of the Republican Party, which has become the most dangerous organization in world history.

The sad thing is, sheeple the world over will buy this hyperbole without question, further dividing the Left & Right. Stop for a moment to consider what Chomsky is actually saying. He is stating, unequivocally, that the Republican Party of the United States of America is more dangerous than: Hitler’s Nazis. Lenin’s Communists, Mao’s Communists, Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge, ISIS, Al Qaeda, and a host of other truly despicable totalitarian regimes. Yet Chomsky is considered to be a brilliant thinker among disciples of Leftism. So much so that the SJWs who control Wikipedia won’t even allow a criticism section in his profile.

When All They Have Left Are The Slurs

8 Mile Rule 73 Comments

Scott Adams (of whom most here are familiar) predicted a Trump win over a year ago, based on what he observed about his powers of persuasion. His blog makes for generally interesting reading on the broader topic of persuasion – if you have the time to go back and read his older postings, I recommend you do.
This is his prediction for the post-election Trump.
As for me, I never predicted a win, because I know better. But by July of 2015, I was certain Trump would resonate with a broad segment of working class America based on my own observations and interactions with the audience here. Because there was a desperate desire for someone to step up and take on what is euphemistically called “political correctness”. Someone with the strength to absorb the insults, own his identity, and in so doing, neutralize the slurs and disarm the attacker. I call it the 8 Mile Rule, from the film that produced the epiphany. It’s profane, but I recommend you watch that, too.
Trump was showing signs of understanding this, and while he adjusted and evolved in his style, he never really backed away from it. “Not all women, just Rosie O’Donnell”. That was ballsy.
He was called every vicious name in the book in an effort to force his political allies and supporters to distance themselves, and thereby weaken him. It didn’t work. Not only did it not work, when Trump stood his ground, millions of Americans, tired of being slurred as bigots, racists, deplorables — simply for sharing the ordinary, traditional beliefs of their good and honourable parents and grandparents — found a champion. An imperfect champion, to be sure, but imperfect was required under the circumstances.
I don’t know what kind of President Donald Trump will make, but I suspect he’ll do fine, judging by the people he surrounded himself with, and how quickly he jettisons those who under-perform. He’s consistently chosen strong, iron-willed personalities as allies and advisers — Pence, Gingrich, Guiliani, Conway — and they share the same strength in refusing to be verbally cowed by media. And he’s built his fortune as a builder and negotiator, skill sets which will serve him well.
As of this morning, the “tell these people something they don’t know about me” title goes into retirement, at least as it pertains to Trump.
I think I’ve made my point.
