LifeZette.com (Laura Ingraham’s site so you know it’s good) put the stopwatch on it: CNN Morning Show spent 93 percent of its Wednesday July 13th show on Russia and Donald Trump, Jr.
Greenland has recorded the coldest July temperature ever recorded in the Northern Hemisphere with -33 degrees C on July 5, 2017. Read the article at RealClimateScience.com.
Which is the bigger hoax: The world is running out of gas in ten years or so (mid – 1970s) or global warming, the hoax that never leaves? Remember in early 1970 we had front page stories on Time and News “weak” magazines warning us of the impending Ice Age with freezing in July. Now the catchall name for this is “climate change.”
Remember the rampaging Nigerian immigrant murderer at the Bronx hospital?  Once again, big media got it wrong.
“The New York Times, still unaware there’s an internet, is trying to pass off the Nigerian as a Californian, the non-doctor as a doctor and Mr. Obotetukudo as “Dr. Bello.”

Remember big media trying to sell Carly Fiorina as the great Republican hope for president last year? Their pitch was Carly can win, Donald cannot. RedState.com says Carly Fiorina is a clone of Rudy Giuliani, with some favorable views but fairly liberal overall. I remember in 2007 and 2008 the media claimed Rudy was leading the Republican pack, but when he dropped out in February 2008 after the Florida Primary he had no delegate votes, with some 1197 votes needed to win the nomination. He later picked up one delegate in Nevada after dropping out and spending some $50,000,000 in his campaign, 50 million bucks to win one vote. People were telling me early on that Rudy was ahead, but that shows those people watch too much network television.

Ideological “firebrand” is the new buzzword to replace the overused “controversial.” Who can define such trigger words?
From TheoSpark.net:
“The word ‘politics’ is derived from the word ‘poly’ meaning ‘many,’ and the word  ‘ticks,’ meaning blood sucking parasites.’“

Theo puts the apostrophe and period outside the quotation marks, which is the custom in England. I took the liberty of changing it. To read his great column, you’d swear he was in the USA. He should be on television here. I know where to find some talented commentators others seem not to know about, or are deliberately ignoring. Ilana Mercer is another. Her writing is as good as it gets. I’d put her up against anyone from “Conservative Inc.” as the fine folks at VDare.com sarcastically call it.

Speaking of pharmaceuticals, maybe sports halls of fame should have a special wing for pharmaceutically enhanced athletes. Imagine Babe Ruth on steroids.
Remember sleazy Demoleft Nevada Senator Harry Reid, now retired? In 2010 he lost the male vote to Republican female Sharron Angle (yes, two Rs) but women voters in Nevada just love sleazy Harry, giving him a 15 point margin and allowing him to coast to victory in his last election. Nevada women needed to have better information before voting. Many women will not vote for a conservative female.
