Trump Derangement Syndrome. TDS is running amuck at MSNBC. The network of Rachel Maddow, whose show has been hemorrhaging viewers since the Russian hoax was revealed, put another analyst on national television who appears to be severely afflicted with TDS.
The Democrats have been promoting slavery as a good thing since the country was founded. Since the Civil War they have disguised it. They keep telling poor people that they will solve the problem of being poor. When elected, they do nothing but siphon wealth from the public trough. They keep the poor enslaved to their never-ending promises.
Baltimore is not the only city suffering from this malady. Philadelphia, Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago and others have the same problem.
Socialism has never worked in the history of the planet. However, it is a good way to enslave people. ...
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.
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.
A little humor to start the weekend off with. What the Democratic Party sounds like today.
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.
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.
This week we will see the second round of what the media call debates among those wanting to be the person nominated for President from the Democratic Party. A very serious question regarding these debates is what insane giveaway programs will we see unveiled this week? The Democrats have no ideology other than Orange Man Bad and bribing voters through giveaway programs. The Democrats cannot compete in the marketplace of ideas.
Each candidate is trying to outdo the other in giving things away. Almost all have signed onto reparations for blacks. Elizabeth Warren has expanded reparations to include Native Americans and gays. Medicare for all is another popular giveaway. Tuition-free college is on a number of plates. All of this means that taxes will go up, way up. AOC’s target rate of 70% would not be enough.
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.
