Very Fake News: CNN Selectively Edits Trump Quote on Japanese Auto Production In U.S.
Very Fake News: CNN Selectively Edits Trump Quote on Japanese Auto Production In U.S.
"Left-wing CNN has been caught red-handed selectively-editing a Donald Trump quote as a means to make the president look foolish during his overseas trip to Japan.
"Left-wing CNN has been caught red-handed selectively-editing a Donald Trump quote as a means to make the president look foolish during his overseas trip to Japan.
In its second piece of very fake news launched against Trump Monday morning (here is the first), CNN’s snarky and dishonest headline reads, “Trump asks Japan to build cars in the U.S. It already does.”
What CNN did not want its Twitter followers to know is that Trump was following the prime minister’s lead in doing so.
CNN’s misleading video was meant to make Trump look foolish and impatient as he dumped out the box.
Read it all!
In order to justify its misleading headline, CNN lies through omission by deliberately publishing only part of Trump’s statement during a meeting with Japanese automakers on Monday...
This has been another terrible week for CNN.
Earlier Monday, the network was busted publishing misleading video to invent a Trump blunder during a photo-op with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
In the fake video, the last-place cable news network focused in only on Trump as he emptied a box of fish food into a koi pond.
What CNN did not want its Twitter followers to know is that Trump was following the prime minister’s lead in doing so. CNN’s misleading video was meant to make Trump look foolish and impatient as he dumped out the box.
Adding to CNN’s ongoing ratings and reputation woes was Jake Tapper’s misleading and wildly inappropriate interpretation of “Allahu Akbar” late last week in the immediate aftermath of a deadly Islamic terror attack in New York City.
To make matters worse, Tapper, whose dual reputation and ratings crises have become an embarrassment to CNN, suffered a humiliating public meltdown in reaction to the criticism.
CNN’s crusade to destroy President Trump has only blown back on the banana network, which was once in second place behind only Fox News, but is now not only in dead last place but national joke."Read it all!

100 Years of Communism, 100 Million Deaths, but a Silver Lining of Clever Jokes and Satire
There’s no way to sugarcoat the monstrous evil of communism.
The death toll is simply too large.
But the silver lining to the dark cloud of Marxist socialism is that we have some clever jokes and satire.
We’ll start with the Gipper.
Here are some of his anti-communism jokes that I should have included in my collection of Reagan videos.

[H]ardOCP: LED Lights Causing Traffic Problems in Winnipeg
[H]ardOCP: LED Lights Causing Traffic Problems in Winnipeg:
"LED Lights Causing Traffic Problems in Winnipeg
The City of Winnipeg is like a lot of us that want to use the latest technology and save some energy while we're at it.
However, this time it was a really bad decision to go with LED traffic lights because they don't produce enough heat to melt the snow that piles up sometimes.
So what was a money saver is now going to cost them more because city crews have to go out and manually clean all the converted traffic lights.
This is one of those times where new tech isn't the right tech for the job.
Last year, new LED bulbs in Windsor, Ont., were blamed for a crash when a school bus ran a red light and broad-sided a car in an intersection.
Six kids, a school staff member and the drivers of the car and bus were taken to hospital.
Police said the bus driver claimed the red light was covered in snow."

A fat-fingered configuration blunder at Level 3 temporarily sent a chunk of internet connectivity in America and the wider world to level zero on Monday.
The global backbone provider admitted it was at fault for rolling outages that have plagued big patches of US this morning, West Coast time, particularly for Comcast subscribers.

AMERICAN HERO: Man Who Shot Texas Church Murderer Is An NRA Instructor | Daily Wire
"So much for those who want to vilify the NRA in the wake of the Texas massacre in Sutherland Springs, Texas, on Sunday:
Stephen Willeford, the man who shot and chased the man who killed 26 people in a Texas church, is an NRA instructor.
Willeford insisted, “I’m no hero; I am not. I think my God, my Lord, protected me and gave me the skills to do what needed to be done.”
On Monday, Willeford spoke to 40/29 News to tell his story.
On Monday, Willeford spoke to 40/29 News to tell his story.
He had been in his bedroom when his daughter informed him she heard gunshots at the First Baptist Church nearby.
While he got his rifle out of his safe, his daughter looked outside again.
She ran back to her father and told him she saw a man in black tactical gear shooting up the church.
Willeford stated:
Read on!I didn’t have any time, because I kept hearing the shots, one after another, at a time, very rapid shots, just pop, pop, pop. And I knew every one of those shots represented someone, that it was aimed at someone, that they just weren’t random shots, more than likely. I grabbed a handful of ammunition and started loading my magazine..."

12 months later, Trump would probably still win the 2016 election
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/12-months-later-trump-would-probably-still-win-the-2016-election/ar-AAuwa3A?ocid=spartandhpIt has been almost exactly one year since President Trump shocked the world by defeating Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
And he might well do it again today.
Confronted with the events of the past 12 months and even Trump's unprecedented unpopularity — 59 percent disapprove of his presidency — a new poll shows that 2016 voters look as though they'd still pick Trump, albeit about as narrowly as they did before.
The Washington Post-ABC News poll asked respondents how they'd vote in a redo of the 2016 election, and, if anything, Clinton seems to have lost more ground than Trump.

The Washington Post-ABC News poll asked respondents how they'd vote in a redo of the 2016 election, and, if anything, Clinton seems to have lost more ground than Trump.
Among those who voted, 46 percent say they picked Clinton last year and 43 percent picked Trump — a slightly more favorable sample than the 2016 election, in which Clinton won the popular vote by two percentage points.
But in a head-to-head rematch, Clinton's support drops even more than Trump's does, and they wind up in a 40-40 tie.
Given that Trump overperformed in key, blue-leaning swing states, that means he'd probably have won again..."

Hollywood, ESPN and other debacles are ruling class fail: Glenn Reynolds
"Our elites care more about what their peers think of them than about what they're supposed to be doing.
No wonder so many institutions are failing.
Even David Brooks is admitting it:
“Our elites really do stink.”
And he’s right.
But why?
In part because they’re inbred, and care too much about each other’s opinions.
I’ve been watching a lot of institutions fail lately, from Hollywood, to the news media, to the NFL and ESPN, to political parties and academia, and I see a common factor.
The problem is that whatever job its members are supposed to be doing at the moment, our ruling class cares more about what the rest of the ruling class thinks about it, than about the job it’s supposed to be doing.
The result, quite often, is a debacle..."

Italy losing culture to immigrant influx - Washington Times
Italy losing culture to immigrant influx - Washington Times:
"Then there’s history. The Muslim presence in Sicily lasted nearly five centuries, 827-1300, and although less celebrated than Andalusia, Islamists remember that era and want Sicily back. Rome, the seat of the Catholic Church, represents a paramount symbol of Islamist ire and ambition, making it highly likely to be a target of jihadi violence.
Demographic trends are even worse than in northern Europe, with a Total Fertility Rate (the number of children per woman) of 1.3, well below that of neighboring France (2.0). Journalist Giulio Meotti tells me that the migrant TFR is almost 2.0 and the indigenous Italian is about 0.9. Some small towns face extinction; One of them, Candela, which has seen its population shrink from 8,000 in the 1990s to 2,700 today, has responded by offering cold cash to induce economically productive immigrants to settle there. Italy’s health minister, Beatrice Lorenzin, has called the demographic trend “an apocalypse.”"

Our Political Discourse Is Madness, and Madness Is Being Born From It
"...It was a cruel weekend.
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul was attacked from behind by his neighbor while the Senator was mowing the grass.
Five of his ribs were broken.
...If that was the worst of it that would be bad enough, but it wasn’t, and the events that took place on Sunday were simply horrifying.
...What hit me went beyond the fact that innocent people were being harmed by crazed individuals.
It was the reaction to it that hit me.
According to many, Rand Paul deserved to be attacked by his neighbor.
To people in my timeline, it was right that those Christians died.
Why?
Because Rand Paul is a Republican.
Because those Christians were white and in Texas, and that means they have to be Republicans.
Some took a different tac, and immediately attacked Republicans for the Sutherland Springs attack whole hog like Chelsea Handler did.
For her, it was the Republicans’ fault because they like guns.
Or for others, it was the NRA’s fault, because they’re supposedly putting guns into the hands of anything with a pulse.
Despite my years of working in the media and being confronted with all the worst humanity has to offer, it’s things like this that I still cannot wrap my head around.
...But in a time when our nation is bleeding, the idea that a mob could unite to further turn on their fellow countrymen is still a thing I cannot understand.
...Why would the mob condemn the targeting of one group on one day, and celebrate the targeting of another group the next?
...Has the media painted the right as evil so well that people literally think that the average white Christian is akin to a terrorist, and must be eliminated?..."

"So she filed a lawsuit.
“By its very nature, an oath that concludes “so help me God” is asserting that God exists,” says the lawsuit, filed in federal court on Thursday. “Accordingly, the current oath violates the first ten words of the Bill of Rights, and to participate in a ceremony which violates that key portion of the United States Constitution is not supporting or defending the Constitution as the oath demands.”
