A little humor to start the weekend off with.

TDS Strikes Again
Trump Derangement Syndrome. TDS is running amuck at MSNBC. This week they had on an analyst who made up the theory that PDJT is sending coded messages to neo-Nazis and white supremacists through his use of the US flag at half-staff. Really!
Every time you think the MSM can’t get any worse, they go and surprise you with something you never thought imaginable. MSNBC was the winner again. On MSNBC’s weekday morning show, Morning Joe, a co-host said that PDJT wanted mass shootings to happen. Truly this is an example of someone who appears to be severely afflicted with the disease.
Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)
Comments Off on Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)
TDS is a mental illness characterized by a hatred of the President because he is a good person trying to do right by all Americans, regardless of color, race, creed, sex or national origin. This causes a short circuit in the liberal mind. Those suffering from this malady gradually lose all connection to reality. In the world of the TDS patient, George Orwell’s 1984 book looms large. The longer a patient suffers, the worse the patient becomes. The disconnect becomes more and more pronounced as demonstrated by the image above. Up is down and down is up. Good is evil and evil is good. Doublespeak is the language of the day.
Tapper Thumbs His Nose At America

Saturday shopping at Walmart is normal activity for thousands of people across the country. In El Paso, Texas, this activity turned into a horror show when a young man walked in with a rifle in his hands. He began indiscriminately mowing down shoppers of all ages, sexes and colors. In the end 20 people lay dead and more than two dozen were in the hospital.
Following in the footsteps of the Christchurch shooter, minutes before he went on his killing spree, the young man (No, I am not going to name him and there will be no pictures of him here) published his “manifesto.” He claimed to be protecting the country from invasion. He borrowed ideas from both the far left (Bernie Sanders in particular, talking about big corporations) and the far right (“white extinction”). Outside of his apparent antipathy for Hispanics, he will be difficult to fit into a category based on his “manifesto.”
In my opinion this young man is just playing with those people on both sides of the aisle who would use this event for political grandstanding. He is tweaking their noses. And political grandstanding started almost before all the blood had been wiped up.
More Tariffs
Comments Off on More Tariffs
US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin returned from two days of talks in China on Thursday. After briefing the President on the results of the talks, the President announced a decision to apply a 10% tariff on an additional $300 billion worth of Chinese products. These tariffs will go into effect on September 1st.

MAGAnomics continues to shower prosperity on all Americans. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) released significant wage and salary data on July 30th. These data demonstrate remarkable numbers. There have been stunning upward revisions for 2017 and 2018.
Employee compensation rose 4.5% in 2017 and 5% in 2018. These numbers demonstrate incredible wage growth during a period of low inflation (1.4%). When the 5% wage growth in 2018 was combined with the tax reform package passed in late 2017, personal disposable income rose an astonishing 6.1% in 2018. And the primary beneficiaries of this growth have been blue-collar workers.
Trump Is A Racist
It is absolutely amazing how often the lie that PDJT is a racist is told by the Democrats and the media. In the two days following his tweet about the “Communist Four” (AOC, Omar, Tlaib and Pressley), MSNBC repeated this lie more than 600 times. CNN did so more than 400 times. There was nothing racist at all about what he said.
Red Flag Warning

Professor William Jacobson had an interesting piece last week in which he made the point that “The investigators need to be investigated.” In that piece he addressed the utmost priority need for an investigation into the attempted coup. In his piece Professor Jacobson noted,
Whether Robert Mueller was a mere figurehead or in control, he was a participant. So while he was a sorry figure in the congressional hearings, and his appearance did substantial damage to Democrat and media plans, the gravity of what happened should not be lessened. It almost worked.
The media, of course, was a full participant in what happened. Just when you thought the major organizations who control almost all of popular and social media couldn’t get any worse, they do (emphasis added). This all takes place while high tech companies put the thumb on the scale by penalizing non-liberal content.
Winners and Losers
Comments Off on Winners and Losers
The media likes to list winners and losers from every confrontation between the two main-stream political parties. The media’s views of these events often lean towards their own particular political ideologies.
Without a doubt the Republicans were the winners and the Democrats were the losers from the Mueller hearings on Wednesday. Even far left media outlets like CNN agreed. Chris Cillizza at CNN noted,
If Democrats hoped that Mueller would easily bat away Republican attacks — on him and on his report — they were sorely disappointed in the opening moments of his testimony. Mueller seemingly contradicted himself (and the report) when he told Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, the ranking Republican member on the committee, that collusion and conspiracy were not the same thing.
Mueller Bombs Out

The circus was in town in Washington, but the clowns did not show up. In what was characterized by most media outlets including those friendly to the Democrats as a bad day, Robert Mueller came off as what we thought he was. A figurehead for the investigation. A public face who was supposed to bring credibility.
Mueller didn’t pick his team. The DOJ/FBI team was already carrying out the “insurance policy” when he arrived. They had come over from the bogus Crossfire Hurricane counter-intelligence investigation. Mueller was selected by them.
The coup plotters were behind the scenes trying to find something, anything that they could pin on the President. Trying to trap PDJT into an obstruction of justice charge was the principal activity of Mueller’s team. Mueller would have been the face of reason in presenting such evidence.
