Research by the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva, Switzerland has proven that eating ham and salami while drinking a glass of red wine at each meal reduces the risk of becoming a Moslem terrorist by exactly 100%.
Note that it must be red wine – the WHO researchers determined that white wine does not have the same deterrent effect as only girly-men drink white wine.
We’ve gone from the sublime last week to the ridiculous this. Might as well start with the most fun you can have in a minute and a half. Put up on YouTube ereyesterday (7/12).
Fun aside, most of us wish this could happen for real to the scumbags of Fake News – that the headquarters of the New York Times and Time-Warner-CNN in New York and the WaPo in DC could look like Mosul does today with what it took to defeat ISIS:
Fantasy aside, the Twitter hashtag #CNNisISIS is very popular. As is #CNNBlackmail. Hardly anyone tells pollsters they trust the media anymore. It’s comforting to see the entire Fake News propaganda machine of NYT-WaPo-CNN-ABC-NBC-CBS-TIME lose more credibility by the day.
Nonetheless, we should be clearly aware they are calling their plays from Hitler’s playbook. Before our eyes we see how Germans became Nazis in the 30s, as we see left-leaning Americans become a Nazi Left with Whites as the New Jews.
We see how the Fake News Media is following Hitler’s instructions in Mein Kampf (vol. 1, ch. 10) on how to employ the Big Lie:
The Fake News Media’s reaction to President Trump’s magnificent speech in Warsaw last week (7/06) is a true teachable moment.
Honest commentators saw Trump’s expression of pride in and defense of Western Judeo-Christian Civilization on a par with the best speeches of Ronald Reagan and Winston Churchill.
Such sublime presidential eloquence has rarely if ever been matched. Any actual American would applaud and cheer. But not the AINOs (Americans In Name Only) that infest the Fake News Media. They of course were outraged. Possibly because they realized Trump was including them among our adversaries.
Let’s first ignore, however, black racist affirmative action journalists like the WaPo’s Jonathan Capeheart who specialize in guilt-mongering whites. He laughably wrote “Trump’s White Nationalist Dog Whistles in Warsaw” (7/06).
He heard the “loudest of dog whistles” when Trump said We write symphonies. “What on Earth does that have to do with anything?” he asks.
The guy is so stupid that he doesn’t know that the people Trump was speaking to take enormous pride in that one of the greatest composers in human history – Frederic Chopin – was Polish. So much so the Warsaw Chopin International Airport is named after him.
Let’s focus instead on folks like The Atlantic’s Peter Beinart, who wrote “The Racial and Religious Paranoia of Trump's Warsaw Speech” (7/06). There’s only one solution to his problem. Well, there’s one other which we’ll get to later.
Yesterday (7/10) at the White House Press Briefing, President Trump’s Director of Legislative Affairs Marc Short stated:
“The Senate is conducting the slowest confirmation process in American history. For the past six months, Senator Schumer has deliberately run an unprecedented campaign of obstruction against the President’s nominees for high-ranking positions in the government.”
This is absolutely true. Yet all Marc did was to complain – he offered no solutions whatever to a very real and serious problem except to ask Schumer to “stop” – with no threat of specific consequences if he didn’t. Schumer’s response will be a smirk and a shrug.
This is no way to run a country. We all know the source of the problem in Congress – the UniParty of Dems and Rinos that wants to maintain the status quo, keep the Deep State, and do nothing that might jeopardize lobbyists’ donations to them.
Trump is a threat to all this, which is why the UniParty is in collusion against him.
What’s obviously needed is for the White House to replace whiny complaints with specific measures the President will take to force a do-nothing Congress into confirming his nominees and enacting his agenda. Here’s what he can do.
[This is the text of President Trump’s Weekly Address on July 7. Video below]
My fellow Americans,
Here at the White House, we are dedicating the month of July to three of our favorite words – MADE IN AMERICA.
For more than two centuries, those three beautiful words have been the world standard for quality, craftsmanship and excellence – and they still are today.
As President, one of my highest priorities is to restore American Manufacturing.
For decades, American jobs have been ripped out of our communities, industries and towns have been stripped bare, and the entire communities have been uprooted and left. Foreign nations got rich at America’s expense – and many special interests profited from this great global theft of American wealth.
Since taking the oath of office, our government has adopted a new philosophy: AMERICA FIRST – and believe me, it’s about time. The era of economic surrender is over – and a new national pride is sweeping across our land. You see it, I see it, we all see it.
Reflect on this:
Almost every Trump initiative so far—more energy development, tax reform, deregulation, an end to illegal immigration, luring capital and jobs back into the United States, renegotiating trade deals, realist deterrence abroad, and mockery of political correctness—earns wide public approval.
Meanwhile…
Every time a MSNBC talking head, a NeverTrump New York pundit, an identity politics functionary, a Hollywood celebrity, a campus Pajama Boy, a Silicon Valley master of the universe, or a Democrat functionary attacks Trump, he ends up sounding either snobbish, hypocritical, or parochial—and thereby energizes the Trump populist message.
Trump is hated not because he is proposing radical new solutions, but because he believes that the last eight years were deviant and not characteristic of the American experiment.
Trump will succeed because his presidency is a return to normalcy.. His haters will fail because they have become rabidly extremist.
Tangier Island – America’s “soft crab capital” – is in the middle of Chesapeake Bay, about an hour’s boat ride from the Virginia mainland, rises only a few feet above the waterline and has been slowly eroded by the sea since it was first colonized in the 1600s.
Now its 500 remaining residents are desperate for federal support because it is on the verge of disappearing.
When they asked for support from Donald Trump to help them build a wall – a sea wall, this time, to hold back the eroding waves – the President called them to discuss the situation (6/14).
The story about Trump’s call prompted a barrage of hate from outsiders. Their crime, apparently, was to blame the island’s plight on natural erosion and not rising sea levels caused by man-made climate change. And voting 87% for Trump.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected that 21 million people would be enrolled in the Obamacare insurance exchanges by 2016, back when the bill was voted on in 2010.
The actual number turned out to be about 10 million — the projection being off by more than 100 percent.
Did the CBO provide hugely incorrect forecasts because they were under political pressure by the Democrats to report fake news of how beneficial the program would be, or were they sloppy in their work product, or did they pretend to know more than they could have possibly known?
Despite many decades of major forecast errors, Congress continues to rely on CBO projections far more than is warranted. Most recently, the Republicans had been waiting in great anticipation of the CBO witch doctors’ “scoring” of their various repeal-and-replace Obamacare plans. They are waiting for more CBO fake news.
Donald Trump! Donald Trump! Donald Trump! Donald Trump! Donald Trump! !
Over and over again, the Polish people chanted the name of the President of the United States as he spoke to them in Krasiński Square, the site of the Warsaw Uprising monument in Warsaw yesterday (7/06).
The President’s speech was so magnificent it’s being compared by many to Reagan’s and Churchill’s best.
Trump delivered a full-throated defense of Western Judeo-Christian Civilization without a hint of apology. He praised the Polish people for their incredibly heroic history, especially against the twin evils of Soviets and Nazis – and made it abundantly clear he considered their current struggle against the twin evils of Russian imperialism and EU bureaucratic oppression heroic as well.
It is little wonder that at the President’s meeting in Warsaw’s Royal Castle with his counterpart Andrzej Duda, he was seated below a portrait of Poland’s national hero King Jan Sobieski (1629-1696), the Savior of Western Civilization.
Here is a sample of quotes for the history books [comments in the brackets]. You can read the entire text here, and I could not encourage you more to watch the entire video below.
This has been an extraordinary week of America’s leadership in the world and the Fake News Media being humiliated. Here we go…
[This was originally in To The Point for July 4, 2004. This is the version for 2017. We at To The Point wish all of you an exceedingly happy Fourth of July.]
July 4th is Freedom's Birthday. My suggestion is, amidst the fireworks and barbeques and flag-waving fun – all of which are great – that you take the time to feel good about America. Take the time to read the Declaration of Independence aloud with your family.
There is so much to love about our country, so much to feel good about. Despite all the residual indecency from the Nightmare of Obama that can drive you crazy, there is so much decency and moral goodness in America that it just takes your breath away.
America is the most moral and humanitarian nation ever to exist – because of the founding principles of our country that we celebrate today.
No other nation or society in human history was founded on the moral right to individual freedom than America – that you, me, and all of us have the moral right to our own personal life, our own personal liberty, and to pursue our own personal happiness.
And more, much more. That the only – only – moral purpose of government is to protect and enable the exercise of these sacred rights of its citizens. Any other rationale for government guns and power over its citizens is immoral and illegitimate.
Thus what we celebrate today is the essence of our existence as Americans. That essence lies in our Declaration of Independence.
On May 19, Secretary of Defense Mattis announced that President Trump’s strategy regarding the barbarian terrorists of ISIS would be radically different from that of his predecessor:
“[President Trump] directed a tactical shift from shoving ISIS out of safe locations in an attrition fight to surrounding the enemy in their strongholds so we can annihilate ISIS.”
That is exactly what has happened. We have gone from Zero’s no victory policy of attrition and spectacular failure to Trump’s policy of victory via annihilation of the enemy – and it is proving to be a spectacular success.
On Sunday (7/02), the New York Times headline was: U.S.-Backed Forces Close to Trapping ISIS Holdouts in Raqqa.
This morning (7/06), the London Daily Mail headline is: ISIS Near Total Defeat in Mosul, Holds Just 600 Square Yards in Old City.
How did this happen in both of ISIS capitals of Mosul in Iraq and Raqqa in Syria?
It is cosmically ironic that the culmination of Trump’s annihilation strategy regarding ISIS – with the fall of their Caliphate’s twin capitals of Mosul and Raqqa – is in the very same week as the culmination of his annihilation strategy regarding CNN.
On April 10, m
edia types were crowing that CNN had brought in Eric Lichtblau who had been, in the Washington Post’s words, at “the forefront of the New York Times’s reporting on the relationship between the Trump presidential campaign and Russia.”
It was “an investment in investigative reporting and the sprawling Russia story”. It didn’t take long for the investigative investment to sprawl badly.
On June 25, Lichtblau resigned from CNN in a growing scandal over a Fake News story about a Trump associate.
"Eric will guide our coverage and thinking," Lex Haris, executive editor of CNN Investigates, had boasted. "And when he’s onto a investigation, he’ll still be reporting and writing too.”
Not for long. For Harris has joined Lichtblau on the unemployment line after the Fake News scandal.
CNN Investigates had been announced after President Trump’s inauguration. Its hit pieces had followed the same pattern as the Scaramucci attack that would be its undoing.
Go after a personality tipped for a job with the new administration. CNN Investigates had previously targeted Monica Crowley and Sheriff Dave Clarke with plagiarism accusations. But this time around, CNN’s anti-Trump unit had made a big mistake.
Trump’s self-made video parody that shows him wrestling down CNN has all the self-righteous pundits in an uproar, but it puts the heat where it belongs.
On CNN and the rest of them that round-the-clock give him no peace, no mercy, no fairness, no slack. In return, Trump goes Raw. Like Truman once did.
Friends in Israel tell me that Trump is not alone. Benjamin Netanyahu, they say, gets the same treatment from the Hebrew press. Most times, even worse.
The same, maybe. Worse, impossible.
On top of that, the obscenities coming from our TV news and talk shows are so violent that there is no choice but to say that we are past media bias and deep into media depravity.
It’s been so non-stop nasty that many of us have stopped reading and watching the coverage. We know what’s coming. We are braced. Trump gets even. Trump’s revenge.
This morning, the President sent this tweet from Brussels:
As well he should. For lawmakers failed to seize on an alarming development in the Russia collusion story last week, one that should spark serious and immediate congressional inquiry.
But it didn’t involve President Trump or his administration.
During a heated Fox Business interview with Maria Bartiromo (6/28), Hillary Clinton’s former campaign chief John Podesta made a series of misleading statements when questioned about his involvement in a company that received $35 million from the Russian government while Clinton served as secretary of state.
On Jan. 18, 2011, a small green-energy company named Joule Unlimited announced Podesta’s appointment to its board. Months later, Rusnano, a Kremlin-backed investment fund founded by Vladimir Putin, pumped $35 million into Joule.
That’s just for starters for collusion between Russia and Podesta.
