Two stories broke on Monday that are intertwined. One is the realization by Politico that President Trump may win by a landslide because of the kangaroo courts of New York. The other story is the Sunday night massacre at the Washington Post — the firing of its editor — sent shockwaves through the credentialed media, which only goes to show how out of touch the media is.
Leonard Downie Jr., wrote in the Post on January 30, 2023, “Newsrooms that move beyond ‘objectivity’ can build trust.”
Moving beyond objectivity to build trust is a shift from telling the truth to crafting propaganda for the weak minded majority. The left is frantic that the weak-minded majority is waking up and moving their loyalty.
Most of what we are easily able to consume in media is a story based on layers of lies. The radical left is so deeply invested in this scheme that they are the ones who remain duped by the propaganda they concoct.
Please, let's NOT help them find their way out of their confusion. At this point, their failures are the most effective way for the right to expose their evil.
It's not that people are waking up, it's that some lies are too preposterous to believe. For most people. Some donkey turds will continue to believe that Xiden is the most honest president in History and that his Chinese money pipeline is a lie. Some will continue to sleep walk, eyes closed treating the truth like a bad dream. Satan loves them.
People are recognizing they have gone too far. People are moving back to fairness and truth.
Through all this Anti/Never Trump nonsense, people became so drunk with hate, they betrayed themselves. That’s what a Constitution is used for: guiding principals through the tough times. They ignored them. Now they are slowly sobering and realizing what a predicament we’re in. I think it was the Hamas Oct 7th attack that actually woke people up (and Biden’s pathetic playing of both sides).
I digress, The media needs to present facts as they are and keep opinion to the editorial page. The facts will lead people to the correct answer.
RINO's are just jumping on the bandwagon for now. Doubtful they can keep the knife in the sheath when the dust settles. It will be Swamp business as usual. And btw, Mike Johnson being mentored by John Boehner? Good grief.
Had a WaPo on-line subscription to make fun of the hypocrisy and TDS in the comments section. And yes, it was great fun. Never threatened anyone, used foul language or spread lies. I only made fun of them. For this I was banned for life. LOL.
Have you noticed that many ‘lefty’ media sites have no comment section? Politico for instance- they just can’t tolerate the discussion and / or backlash to their nuttiness.
Democrats are emotionally retarded people. They stopped growing in primary school. “Wouldn’t it be great if. . . “. They don’t live in reality rather prefer fantasy.
I think snakes are cool. I would love to play with snakes but I don’t because of the reality of their fangs.
They stopped growing because they put their faith in their elder, the teacher. As they should. They had no idea of the Marxist Indoctrination. They do now but their pride won't allow them to confront their cognitive dissonance. So they just double down on imbecility.
That's unfair to Joseph McCarthy. He was right about nearly every one of his accusations of being communist agents. The Venona Intercepts, released after 50 years (in 1995), provided the truth of McCarthy's statements about specific people.
An aside about "Johnson being mentored by John Boehner". That came from an article by Axios, and I would take it with a huge grain of salt. "Mentored" and "muse" were Axios's words. The article itself was pretty brief, and although it's clear Johnson consulted with Boehner recently, I'm not at all sure that means what Axios is attempting to suggest--that Mike Johnson is politically aligned with Boehner.
Mike Johnson has a super-teeny majority, and a highly divided caucus. It may have been wise to get some input from a former Speaker, and he's not going to get much helpful advice from Kevin McCarthy on how to manage the Republican caucus.
There's no crime against listening to someone. I think Axios just wants to paint this in an unflattering way in order to divide us Republicans and make us angry at Mike Johnson--further undercutting him. Axios would love to see Mike Johnson fail.
We are in a fight for the survival of America, and we cannot afford to be snobby towards all RINOS, Haley Republicans, Boehner Republicans, and disaffected Democratic billionaires. You see Trump building bridges right now all over the place. The important thing right now is getting Trump safely over the finish line and into office. This requires a bit of pragmatism.
Axios's article did not have much meat to it, so definitely take it with a grain of salt, and pass on the indigestion Axios perhaps hoped to give us.
(One of you more elegant writers could improve my feeble food metaphors!)
Well done and point taken. But idk... Republicans have been playing nice with Dems for 70 years. Look where we are. Agree we have to get DJT over the finish line but at some point we have to call out every RINO on the planet. And make no mistake Mike Johnson is a RINO. We are NOT going to save the country with this guy as speaker.
If we get the Presidency this year, the 2026 midterms can be devoted to a final purge of the RINOs.
I'm still giving Mike Johnson leeway. He is a very devout Christian, and I think that will keep him from being as soul-less as the more damaging RINO's. Let's hope so!
No Speaker is going to "save the country" that is not the job of the Speaker that is our job. Recuit and elect good men who will do the right thing for the Nation .
Agree. I am more surprised we are letting them have a spot. Yes, I know we need all the votes we can get but I can't play nice with any RINO or never-trumper. They are a bigger threat to Trump than pure democrats.
Yeah, I was as impressed with finding this out as I was to find out Kevin McCarthy was Washington roommates with an avid, die hard leftest and who kept saying it was just because he couldnt afford housing otherwise. /eye roll
I doubt it. He was still rooming with the leftest when he got fired. I swear, they are all grift and hide it well or they end up beholden to the deep state due to family or their own actions.
And I hate being a cynic and conspiracy thearest. I really think that is why Trump pisses them off so bad. He cant be bribed and they havent found a real crime on him since that escalator ride, so they make crimes up but they are so lame they couldnt make a childrens story work.
06/04/24: It just might be that the Post didn't "lose" half of their readers, but actually banned them. Even better, that Bezos, Buzbee and Chuckie (Bride of Chuckie, co-starring J. Psaki) thought that this was a good idea.
Mark Twain wrote once that there would be no laughter in heaven because "The secret source of humor is sadness," meaning that everything we find amusing is – to the person at the other end of the joke – also something to be sad about. It has haunted me for years because there is a lot of truth in it. But God certainly seems to have a sense of humor in arranging journalists who are allergic to the truth they should be reporting, gay people to cheer on Palestinians who would throw them from rooftops, hypocrites of all sorts who don't seem capable of understanding how they expose their wrong-mindedness to everyone. Also, the left – which seems to be composed solely of people who reject God – have zero sense of humor. So if there is no laughter in heaven, it seems there will be none in hell either. Enjoy Don's writing while we are all here on earth!
The “queers for Palestine” perfectly captures most vividly every single aspect of the Left’s deranged and suicidal mentality, all of which is leading them directly off the edge of a rooftop.
That’s part of the awakening. The American Left threw in with Islam some time in the past. People are realizing that and don’t like the prospect of a total dictatorship.
I think you are right about humor and God. Perhaps there is a missing book of the Bible that covers God’s sense of humor.
Humor (a punchline) works when it violates an expected outcome between two opposing forces. God vs Satan certainly provides lots of material to pull from.
Actually, the verse just before that is highly amusing. Ex 32:20: "He took the calf that they had made and burned it with fire and ground it to powder and scattered it on the water and made the people of Israel drink it."
You can imagine Moses asking the Israelites the next day where their god was. And they would have to answer that they had pissed their god into the river.
Buzbee is a DEI hire without talent or self-awareness. She is a perfect fit as a college president. *** If WaPo was a horse, it would been put down long ago. It only survives because Bezos is willing to finance it. *** Do you love watching the Dims and their media cronies applying lipstick to their pigs as much as I do? *** Well another show trial is underway and the media, including FOX, is reporting it as a serious prosecution. The preordained outcome is assured. Jury selection took less time than a running of the Indy 500. Hunter Biden got a jury that includes a family friend while anyone with a scintilla of knowledge about guns was eliminated. The prosecution will throw a slam dunk conviction by presenting evidence full of holes. The jury instructions will demand a finding of not guilty. But WaPo will deny there is a two tiered justice system. *** Just another day in the Banana Republic.
Right now I'm trying to visualise Shaq with long hair in a phoney tail and fake boobs playing against Grinder, or what ever her name was that should still be jailed in Russia.
lol. Actually, the retiring NBA players could identify as a lesbian and then play 10 more years in the women’s league. They actually bring fans and money to the league. lol.
My humble opinion. I truly believe that if all the republicans vigorously defended Trump from the start all these legal issues would never have gone this far. With a few exceptions they sat back and played a wait and see game hoping Trump would drop out. I understand that being a politician is a job with a paycheck they have to protect but it feels to me they put a paycheck ahead of our country ethics. I have little respect for some republicans and have 0 respect for democrats. They have brought our country to the brink of destruction of the constitution and the freedoms we fought and died for and it breaks my heart. I donate to the few republicans that I have most trust in and to Donald Trump but cannot bring myself to contribute to the party as a whole until I see changes.
Yep, that's it in a nutshell. They all hold back to see who the emerging winner will be so they can rush in and join their crowd. Picking the wrong side too early is a career death sentence.
Today's post and its comments section are a veritable cornucopia of wit, wisdom and insightful commentary. I wish with all my heart and soul that America was composed of citizens who exhibited even a small percentage of those qualities. Were that so, we would not be in the mess in which we are currently embroiled. I laugh (ruefully and only to keep from crying) at the pass in which our poor Mx. Buzbee finds herself. Hoist on her own petard is a phrase that never had greater applicability. She was hired because of her intersectionality points, then she hired others of her ilk, only to find that they were as incompetent as they were ideologially motivated. In other words, they were just like her!
Bezos likewise. He bought the Post in order to convince people he was not just a billionaire business boob, but a "right thinker," just like they were. He tried to burnish his woke credentials in order to distract from his otherwise entirely capitalistic modus operandi. At this point, it is safe to assume he is simply a business idiot savant lacking any skill in other areas of human endeavor. His selection of the surgically and chemically altered, exhibitionistic soulmate clearly shows his utter lack of anything like depth of insight, intellect or moral sense. She is the Charo to his Xavier Cugat. (Look that up; you'll have a laugh. Or am I being critical out of envy? You be the judge.) To return to a point more generaly applicable, I think the WP affair, as well as the democrat party apparatus are illustrative of the wisdom of the old aphorism to be arful what you wish for, because you might get it. The democrat-socialist party leadership wanted so dearly to "get Trump" that they tossed out our entire history of American principles of fair play and non-political jurisprudence; ";by all means necessary" was their guiding light. And so, they tried harder and harder to "get Trump" and with each attempt--many of which have been successful__they found themselves getiing further and further behind with the popular sentiment. With each blow they believed they struck against Trump, they saw public sentiment turn more and more in his favor! Yet they persist, believing that at some point they will be successful in banishing him and his deporable insurrectionist followers from their ideal polity and establishing their sexually degenerate utopia. They have ignored the first law of holes, viz., stop digging. It is possible that they may yet get their way, in which event they can gleefully stand atop the smoking ruins of a once-great country and proclaim "Victory." Just like Hitler did, when at last he reconciled himself to the eventual victory of The Allies over his "Thousand Year Reich," and spat out his contempt for the German people, enjoying the thought that their society would be utterly obliterated because they proved themselves unworthy of continuing to exist by betraying his ideas of world domination. Sadly, the rest of us will bear the consequences of their success, should they attain their goals. Yet, there may still be time, if enough citizens awaken from their torpor and take up the standard of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." As Aragorn said in rallying his remaining troops in what seemed to be a futile effort to resist Mordor and its overwhelming, ruthless power, "A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!" May that yet be our motto.
It's starting to look grim for the Dems. If they get backed into a corner I'm worried they'll find another Jack Ruby for the final solution. They found a nut job to take out Reagan. There's more out there.
According to Downie Jr., objectivity can be a distortion of reality while one is pursuing truth. It's a perfect explanation of the MSM continually insisting that voters ignore their own eyes, ears and experience and accept the complete horse shit that passes for journalism: The economy is great; you just don't understand it. The vaccines are safe and effective, but they only work for me if YOU are vaccinated, and myocarditis in children is a symptom of climate change. Ukraine is winning, though they're losing ground, daily. Men can be women and still have a penis if they wear a wig and heels and mince around cartoonishly. Trust the experts, as their worldview is not distorted by observable truths nor common sense.
“Trying to pass off processed roughage as food or propaganda as news is unhealthy for the soul and for society.” Absolutely brilliant Mr. Surber! Both of those entities should end up in the toilet where they belong so they can be flushed away.
She should create an OnlyFans page so she can see exactly what it's like to survive in a free market enviornment. You know, like we Deplorables do every day. Welcome to life outside the bubble, liberal twit.
The acid test for the WaPo will be what they do with that screaming mimi Taylor Lorenz. If they dump her, there might be hope for the place yet. If they don't (and that's how I'm betting), I'd start polishing my resume if were there.
Great column! Good to hear they are getting their comeuppance! People like to blame BHO for all this but he is merely a pawn. The Rothschild family has never gotten over losing America. “For the love of money is the root of all evil.” 1 Timothy 6:10

The most secure election in history... and the most transparent administration. LOL. Can't make this shite up.
In Barry's defence, he was so thin skinned you could see right through him. If that isn't transparency, what is?
I'm convinced that those folks still in favor of Biden are actually still in love w Obama
Amen.
Diagnosing that “objectivity” in reporting news is the root of their problem fits right up there with espousing that “there are a gazillion genders”!
The lunatics are running their asylums.
How’s that been working out for them?
That psycho babble about objectivity not mattering is the most Orwellian thing I’ve heard this week(so far).
People are recognizing they have gone too far. People are moving back to fairness and truth.
Through all this Anti/Never Trump nonsense, people became so drunk with hate, they betrayed themselves. That’s what a Constitution is used for: guiding principals through the tough times. They ignored them. Now they are slowly sobering and realizing what a predicament we’re in.

I won’t even read their crap if they don’t allow comments.
Yahoo became similar in you can't choose your feeds anymore.. they force all the leftwing feeds (new republic, the hill, cnn, bloomberg, ap.....)
We're living in a very 'PRAVDA' moment - attorney Alan Dershowitz calls it 'Leftist McCarthyism'
That's unfair to Joseph McCarthy. He was right about nearly every one of his accusations of being communist agents. The Venona Intercepts, released after 50 years (in 1995), provided the truth of McCarthy's statements about specific people.
He was proven right after his reputation was destroyed by the msm way back then.

You said it well and eloquently, TPG! And I think you are absolutely right with your take on this.
If Johnson starts crying at the podium…the mentoring question will be answered.
Well done and point taken. But idk... Republicans have been playing nice with Dems for 70 years. Look where we are. Agree we have to get DJT over the finish line but at some point we have to call out every RINO on the planet. And make no mistake Mike Johnson is a RINO.

Hope you are right but wouldn't be the first time a soul was sold for a position of authority. Probably happens hundreds of times a day in DC.
No Speaker is going to "save the country" that is not the job of the Speaker that is our job. Recuit and elect good men who will do the right thing for the Nation .
We must find people who will follow the constitution and curtail the usurpation of powers by all branches of government Lady C.
I too agree. But in a fight as you say, you don’t give any points to the opposition until you’ve won the war.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend tactic works best. This is what Trump is doing to get over the finish line.
Is it just me or are you also a bit more than surprised at how quickly Haley and her ilk have jumped on the “winning” bandwagon?
Color me highly suspicious, plus some.
I seriously dislike bogus opportunists.
They are merely parasites in my view.
Indeed. Not unlike an intestinal parasite, seemingly imperceptible and somewhat of a challenge to diagnose.
Nimirata is maneuvering for a slot in the upcoming Trump administration.
Why yes she is; LOL!!!
Bogus opportunists mostly
A bogus opportunist cannot be an opportunist. So this makes it a compliment.
Oh, ok…semantics and all.
An individual who is nothing but a fake AND an opportunist.
Agree. I am more surprised we are letting them have a spot. Yes, I know we need all the votes we can get but I can't play nice with any RINO or never-trumper. They are a bigger threat to Trump than pure democrats.
Yeah, I was as impressed with finding this out as I was to find out Kevin McCarthy was Washington roommates with an avid, die hard leftest and who kept saying it was just because he couldnt afford housing otherwise. /eye roll
Maybe that's why he began working "across the aisle" with Dems. So to collect enough graft to afford his own place.
I doubt it. He was still rooming with the leftest when he got fired. I swear, they are all grift and hide it well or they end up beholden to the deep state due to family or their own actions.
And I hate being a cynic and conspiracy thearest. I really think that is why Trump pisses them off so bad. He cant be bribed and they havent found a real crime on him since that escalator ride, so they make crimes up but they are so lame they couldnt make a childrens story work.
"Lame" is the word alright!
Small correction: Grooming with the leftist.

This is what happens to (skulls full of mush) h/t El Rushbo courtesy of the NEA.Suzie.
can't happen fast enough.
I mildly disagree with Twain (tho he has a point). I think the basis is hypocrisy, which isn’t going away anytime soon.
Babylon Bee can sleep well at night.
Rush used to say that good humor always has a grain of truth in it.
Is there a book out of Rush quotations? If so, I want it.
Men plan. God laughs

He also said..."Politicians, like diapers, should be changed often. And for the same reasons."
not sure but thought Ben Franklin originally said this
Surely though, there is alot of Joy and merriment in heaven, and there's a kind of laughter that is just joy bubbling over.

lol. Actually, the retiring NBA players could identify as a lesbian and then play 10 more years in the women’s league. They actually bring fans and money to the league. lol.
WP as they actually fire people. The WNBA just passes the problem employee onto another team.

Or worse. A cornered animal will fight its way out. The Left is very dangerous now.
Hopefully Trump can use some of the new money he's raised this week for further security.
God has this.. Kim's prophesy said 2 terms..
I will rely on that
It truly is the dearth of courage that we have come to find ourselves here.
Cowardice and personal expediency being chosen over what is utterly, glaringly right and true.
It is a shameful disgrace.
All very well said, Steve, and I LOVE how Aragorn rallied the troops before the gates of Mordor! "...But it is not THIS day...". Amen!
Yes, Amen!
According to Downie Jr., objectivity can be a distortion of reality while one is pursuing truth. It's a perfect explanation of the MSM continually insisting that voters ignore their own eyes, ears and experience and accept the complete horse shit that passes for journalism: The economy is great; you just don't understand it. The vaccines are safe and effective, but they only work for me if YOU are vaccinated, and myocarditis in children is a symptom of climate change. Ukraine is winning, though they're losing ground, daily. Men can be women and still have a penis if they wear a wig and heels and mince around cartoonishly. Trust the experts, as their worldview is not distorted by observable truths nor common sense.
Politico reported, “‘Now he’s seen as a symbol’: Republicans rally around Trump. Women, minorities, DeNiro hardest hit.
“Trying to pass off processed roughage as food or propaganda as news is unhealthy for the soul and for society.” Absolutely brilliant Mr. Surber! Both of those entities should end up in the toilet where they belong so they can be flushed away.
Beyond Objectivity and Beyond Meat belong in the same garbage can. Brilliant comparison, Don.
there are many things in life i could not care less about and the washington post is right up there.
She should create an OnlyFans page so she can see exactly what it's like to survive in a free market enviornment. You know, like we Deplorables do every day. Welcome to life outside the bubble, liberal twit.
Have you seen her picture? It would be more like “OnlyFan”.
Well played. Good one.
She might pick up a few drag queens and Caitlin Jenner...
Or maybe Nolyfans?
No ly fans?
No Fans.
She has a face made for radio and a voice for silent movies.
U R mean JR./sarc
So, you're saying she'd struggle in the free market. I thought everything was supposed to fair and all outcomes were to be equal. No? My bad.
The acid test for the WaPo will be what they do with that screaming mimi Taylor Lorenz. If they dump her, there might be hope for the place yet. If they don't (and that's how I'm betting), I'd start polishing my resume if were there.
Maybe they will Bump Lorenz ?
A short while back, the burning question was: Who would replace Rush?
We have the answer: Don
And as soon as I finish this comment, I'm buying myself more Orville Redenbacher stock....
Thanks again, Don, for making my day.
Great column! Good to hear they are getting their comeuppance! People like to blame BHO for all this but he is merely a pawn. The Rothschild family has never gotten over losing America. “For the love of money is the root of all evil.” 1 Timothy 6:10
Greed. I know we’re told that Pride is the Greatest of all Sin. But I think Greed is the top.
