Limit your fake news to PDJT please

The worst case of “fake news” over the weekend wasn’t the debunking of the Buzzfeed BS about PDJT “ordering” his lawyer to lie.  The MSM has been issuing such “fake news” BS against PDJT, his family and supporters since candidate DJT took that famous ride down the Trump Tower escalator. 

As we know, being a devastating counter puncher, PDJT generally gives more than he takes in these exchanges leaving the instigator permanently labeled as a fat slob, a loser, low energy, Pocahontas, lil’ Rocketman etc. etc. PDJT’s labels tend to stick to the target like a moist booger sticks to the underside of grade schooler’s chair because they are grounded, in part at least, in the truth.

No one, not even his family I think, feels sorry for PDJT when someone attacks him.  We just sit back and wait for the withering retaliatory tweet storm or for their airplane to be canceled while they are on a bus on the way to the airport.  After all, the “P” in PDJT stands for “President.”  He’s a somewhat powerful guy.  He can take care of himself.

Besides, when I saw this I thought, "So what? If he told you to jump off the roof, would you do it?"  I recall in USMC legal school that any military member can refuse an unlawful order.  How is this different? 

Seems to me Cohen would have been obligated to inform PDJT on the law and, as an officer of the court, refuse to comply with anything outside the law.  Isn't that why normal people hire lawyers?  People like us - the unwashed - hire lawyers to make sure we are inside the lines of the law. Why else hire a lawyer to draw up papers to sell a house, conduct a divorce, apply for an adoption, or any one of a thousand different transactions that two honorable men could conduct on a handshake?  To my small legal mind this whole thing is just another example that makes Cohen look like a weak backstabbing douche. 

If he lied, it’s on him.  PDJT cannot make him lie. And what about lawyer client privilege?  If PDJT asked him to lie and the little sh*t went along with it – he’s still the azzbag that committed the crime.  

Well it’s suborning perjury Lex.  So the lay guy offers up a suggestion to an officer of the court and that officer complies and any illegality for the suggestion falls on the lay guy?  If that’s the law, the is an azz.

But the bottom line on Buzzfeed Cohen BS is that, as we suspected when the story broke, it was just another Acme anvil setup by a lying azzwipe for the purpose of getting himself off the hook and intended for PDJT that inexplicably dropped on the MSM’s head.

The biggest “fake news” story of the weekend wasn’t the Buzzfeed BS.  It was this hit piece on a group of male Catholic high school students who attended the Right to Life rally in Caligula, D.C.  These young people were mercilessly attacked by the usual mob of leftist racists after the march. Then the MSM somehow twisted the facts of story like a Twizzler to comport to their own preconceived notion of how this story SHOULD HAVE played out.  They turned the facts of this story inside out, rotated them 180 degrees and stood them on their heads. 

This is like the Duke Lacrosse frame up.  The intolerant left attacks because a fake narrative supports their political views – many knowing full well the story is made up BS.  Some on the left have called for physically attacking young men in this fake story and invading their homes.

Like the Duke fake story, once it’s totally exposed, there are exactly zero repercussions for the bigoted leftist mob that it got it so totally backazzward.  People should be ashamed, fired, docked a month’s pay, made to publicly apologize, stripped naked, tarred and feathered and forced to low crawl out of town over broken glass,

We will continue to this kind of BS until the lefty loon mob is made to pay a price.

Re: William Cook’s letter, “Cold air solution runs into a wall” and Duane Thompson’s letter, “If cooler heads prevail, shutdown can be ended” of Jan 19, 2019

Bravo to Mr. Cook!  Building a wall on the northern border to keep the cold out is a brilliant basis upon which to launch a campaign for president.  Now all you have to do is defeat a couple dozen highly skilled politicians on one side of the political aisle – including a political dynasty on that side of politics.  That will get you into the general election. 

Then all you have to do is take on a candidate from another political dynasty on the other side of politics who enjoys support from 98% of the MSM, 98% of the Hollywood/entertainment glitterati and 98% of the world’s globalist politicians. 

Then all you have to do is beat that candidate like a drum even though the opposition is outspending you 2 to 1 and dumping nearly a billion dollars into their campaign.  Then all you have to do is get enough Electoral College votes to become President of the United States.  It’ll be easy.  Let’s do it.

Once you’ve done all that, you can attempt to fulfill the signature promise of your campaign.  When you do, leftist loons will call you Hitler, a fascist, a white supremacist, a homophobe, a misogynist, a racist, and everything else under the sun.  They will attack you, call for your murder, the murder of family members, the rape of your wife and daughters among even more grotesque things. 

They will accuse you of being a Russian spy, colluding with Russians, cavorting with Russian whores, ordering officers of the court to lie, among about 1,000 daily phony accusations leveled without proof.

They will call you a dictator while at the same time accusing you of being a puppet to pop culture personalities on one side of the political aisle. 

They will do all of this not because they disagree with your policies, they don’t.  They have voted in support those same policies in the past.  They will oppose you because they cannot allow you accomplish in one term what they have failed to deliver after decades of promises.

Build your wall, Mr. Cook.      

If cooler heads prevail, shutdown can be ended

Just before the holidays, the House and Senate passed legislation that would have funded the government in the short term, only to have the president renege on his promise to sign it because he was “spooked” by Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh. So, now we are in the fourth week of a partial government shutdown.

The situation at the border is not an emergency. An emergency means that action needs to be taken immediately. It will take years to build a wall. 

The House has sent legislation to the Senate to reopen without money for the wall. Mitch McConnell is refusing to put anything up for vote in the Senate if he believes the president doesn't want to sign it.

In actuality, the Senate passed the last bill by a vote of 100-0 before Trump backed off as mentioned earlier. Even some Republican senators have broken ranks and advocated for a vote to end the shutdown.

The TSA is losing staff because agents won't work without pay. The USDA is having to suspend food inspection. The cost of this shutdown could exceed the $5 billion that would be allocated for the wall (or better yet, border security), further adding to its real cost. Finally, other world leaders, seeing how emotionally volatile Trump is and how easily he is goaded, are probably taking notes on how to manipulate Trump.

Congress needs to pass legislation to end the shutdown so solutions to strengthen border security can be crafted in an informed and bipartisan manner and so the money allocated for border security will used in a prudent manner.

Also, we need the president to rely less on his “gut” and actually listen to his experts on our national security and domestic well-being. Currently, the president seems to think he knows more than anyone else, and that's not a trait of a good leader.

Cold air solution runs into a wall

The weatherman is talking about arctic air coming in this weekend. Arctic air should stay in the Arctic! So I propose that a wall should be built along our northern border to keep this air out. And, Canada will pay for it!
