Must-Miss Television

It is doubtful that anyone who visits here would be a fan of CNN. It takes an absence of intelligence, a willingness to be knowingly lied to, and the gag reflex of a billy goat to engage in such self-inflicted torture. Nonetheless, the professional haters never rest.

Of Course: CNN to Air New Reagan-Bashing Film on Labor Day

On Labor Day, CNN will air The Reagan Show, a new film bashing the 40th president. In case you thought it would be anything other than hostile, the ads make the goal clear. A clip of Reagan saying, “Together we will make America great again,” is paired with a blurb from the website Screen Daily: “An elaborately constructed parable for the Trump era.”
National Review exposed just how nasty the documentary is:
The continuing popularity of President Reagan is a source of profound irritation and unease to liberals. To assuage their pain, they have gone back to their initial rationalization for how Reagan became so beloved: He cheated. Though a lousy actor, he nonetheless fooled the common man with his mesmeric performing skills. It’s the old false-consciousness story: If we liked the man, trickery must have been involved.

AND IN OTHER NEWS:
Report: Trump Will End DACA With Six Month Delay

The sources stated that Trump will delay enforcement for six months and give Congress the opportunity to write proper immigration legislation.
Remember, DACA is not a law or even an Executive Order. All DACA is a Department of Homeland Security policy that officials announced via memo.

Mnuchin Says Economy Will Be Fine Without DACA Ahead Of Trump Announcement
Mnuchin was asked about the letter on “Fox News Sunday,” and replied: “As it relates to the economic impact, I am less concerned about the economic impact. We’ll make sure that we have plenty of workers in this economy. We want to put more people back to work. There’s a lot of people that left the workforce and our objective is to bring them back into the workforce.

MTP Panelist Claims DACA Opposition by Trump Base Driven by Race
DIDN’T SEE THAT ONE COMING, RIGHT?
According to the professor, Trump was only playing to his base who only cared about DACA because they were white. “We can think about the policy issues but there is this kind of cultural undertow,” he asserted.
“This is really red meat to his base that it’s really speaking to a kind of deep seated cultural anxiety about the changing nature of the country,” he claimed. “That this immigration issue is not about securing the border and it’s not about jobs, it’s not about fixing a bad immigration policy.”

Journalist: “Race and Class . . . Most Significant Aspects” of Hurricane Harvey
JOURNALIST? MORE LIKE RACE-HUSTLING PIMP
And here we thought that saving lives and rebuilding a devastated area should be the focus . . . Proving that when you wield an anti-racism hammer, everything looks like a nail, a guest on Al Sharpton’s MSNBC show this morning declared that “race and class . . are the most significant aspects of this particular hurricane.”
The guest in question, Charles D. Ellison, is the Washington correspondent of The Philadelphia Tribune, and hosts a show on WURD, an African-American owned radio station in Philly.

Teacher Makes Students Remove Trump Apparel, Says It’s ‘Neo-Nazi’ Slogan


REMEMBER WHEN TEACHERS TAUGHT THE BASICS INSTEAD OF BUTTHURT LIBERAL PROPAGANDA?
The video, exclusively obtained by TPUSA, shows a high school teacher at River Ridge High School in Woodstock, Ga., telling her students, “You cannot wear a swastika to school … you cannot wear ‘Make America Great Again’ like that.”
“Please go, at least for this class,” the teacher added. “I don’t care what you do in other classes.”

Obama Is Now the Most Costly Former President
HEY, BEING ON PERMANENT VACATION COSTS MONEY
Next year, the American people will be footing his bill to the tune of $1,153,000, according to a Congressional Research Service memo. This figure is more than $100,000 higher than President George W. Bush’s request and roughly $200,000 more than President Clinton’s. Former President George H.W. Bush will receive $942,000 and President Carter will bring in $456,000.

Shameless: ABC Exploits Harvey Aftermath to Push for DACA
Before Raddatz began pushing for DACA, she began her segment by highlighting the recovery efforts and shadowed a local police chief has he aided a shelter. “But the chief’s work to help evacuees may be complicated by a new challenge. President Trump set to announce his decision this week on whether to end the DACA program,” she bemoaned.
“Houston has one of the highest populations of so-called ‘Dreamers’ in the country,” Raddatz noted. “We met one of them. 15-year-old Jasmine Medrano. As her family returned to their flooded out Houston home, which they just recently paid off.”

Trump cuts $ for Obamacare promoters

Obamacare Liberal Logic - It's the law

The budget for Obamacare “navigators” is being cut by 90%.

And good riddance! Last year, they received over $62.5 million in federal grants while enrolling only 81,426 individuals. One program was paid $200,000 and signed up only one person.  I haven’t done the math, but I’m thinking maybe we could have insured those people for less.

If you hate poverty …

… you should hate Socialism and love Capitalism.  Here’s why.

SOCIALISM: Debbie D’Souza, a native Venezuelan and political activist, explains how Socialism has destroyed the nation’s former prosperity.

CAPITALISM: Arthur Brooks, president of the American Enterprise Institute, explains how Capitalism has brought 80% of humanity out of extreme poverty since 1970.

A Study in Contrasts

The media despise Donald Trump. Always will. There hasn’t been a lot of positive said about how he’s handled the disasters in Texas, but anything positive would only be grudgingly given. He visited again yesterday on his way to Louisiana. The spirit, the courage, the love for your neighbor has been undeniable from the beginning. Pettiness and prejudices have been set aside, since everyone shares the suffering equally.

In stark contrast, Barack Obama would not deign to cut his vacation in Martha’s Vineyard short just last year when Louisiana suffered massive floods. He said “he was monitoring the situation closely.” As usual, the media mostly gave him a pass.

This is a national day of prayer. Rejoice and be glad in it.



President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump took time on Saturday to visit flood victims in Houston, Texas and Louisiana. It was their second trip to the flood damaged region.

In 2016, Obama sent out a letter lecturing flood victims about racism.  The Washington Times reported:

“President Obama has refused so far to survey the Louisiana flood disaster, but he did let state and local officials know that he’s watching to make sure they don’t engage in racial discrimination.

“In a 16-page guidance issued Tuesday, the Obama administration, led by the Justice Department, warned Louisiana recipients of federal disaster assistance against engaging in ‘unlawful discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin (including limited English proficiency).’”


It was just one year ago, August 2016. Massive flooding in Louisiana damaged or destroyed 60,700 homes in the state, 102,000 people registered for federal assistance, 13 people lost their life.

Where was President Obama? On a 16-day vacation on Martha’s Vineyard. He decided to finish up his vacation rather than cut it short and visit the devastated region. Take a look at these articles from 2016.




THE LEFT MAY CRITICIZE TRUMP FOR “PHOTO OPS” AND SUCH, BUT TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST EVERYTHING IT MUST BE A COMFORT KNOWING THAT THE PRESIDENT YOU DIDN’T VOTE FOR IS THERE TO SEE THAT YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR LIFE BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.  THIS, DEAR FRIENDS, IS WHAT LEADERSHIP LOOKS LIKE:

Trump praises ‘cooperation and coordination’ after he and Melania swing by Texas and Louisiana to visit thousands made homeless by Hurricane Harvey

Donald and Melania Trump flew out of Joint Air Base Andrews in Washington at around 9.30 on Saturday.  They arrived in Houston in the early afternoon and went straight to the NRG Stadium to meet evacuees.

Melania, who received criticism for the glamorous outfit she chose to travel to Texas in earlier in the week, was defiant with her wardrobe choices on Saturday.  She first emerged from the White House in a $1590 Ralph Lauren dress and $650 pair of Manolo Blahnik heels before changing on board Air Force One into a denim shirt, jeans and sneakers.

After spending time with evacuees at the stadium, the pair went on to a church in Pearland where Trump heaped praise on Texas governor Greg Abbott and congratulated him on doing a ‘terrific job’ since Harvey hit.




HOW DO YOU THINK THIS LADY FELT?






SORRY FOR SO MANY PICTURES, BUT DOGGONE IT, IT FEELS GREAT TO HAVE THE PRESIDENT FELLOWSHIP WITH EVERYONE.

CtH: Thank you so much!  I’m not feeling so hot today, but these pics cheered me right up!

Melania Defies Her Fashion Critics, Sports Snakeskin Pumps as She Heads Toward Texas
SHE COULDN’T CARE LESS WHAT ANYBODY SAYS

First Lady Melania Trump defied many of her fashion critics in Hollywood and the mainstream media by sporting snakeskin pumps as she boarded Air Force One Saturday on a flight to hurricane-ravaged Texas.

The New York Post reports that she chose to wear snakeskin Manolo Blahnik pumps as she accompanied her husband on a second visit to the areas in Texas hit by Hurricane Harvey, this time to meet with the victims of the storm.

Trump Asks Congress For Nearly $8 Billion To Help Fund Harvey Rescue Effort

President Donald Trump asked Congress Friday night for $7.8 billion to help those left in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Harvey, which pelted parts of Texas with near-Biblical amounts of rain.

Trump’s request was significantly larger than what many experts had expected, as some Congressional sources believed the administration would ask for at least $5.5 billion. The bulk of the funds would go to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, but the request also etched out $450 million for the Small Business Administration.

Nancy Pelosi: The Voters ‘Don’t Want to Hear Us Criticizing the President’


WE DON’T WANT TO HEAR YOU, PERIOD, YOU OLD CRONE.

“(The voters) don’t want to hear us criticizing the president,” Pelosi said. “This was a choice; they made a decision.”

“And to criticize the president personally is to disrespect their judgment,” Pelosi said. “So I say to my members, ‘This is about what we’re going to do.’ ”

President Trump Thanks National Guard and Cajun Navy in Louisiana for their Service

All Hail the Cajun Navy and their meal counterpart — Cajun Gravy

Using social media and the Zello walkie talkie app, Cajun Navy members were able to locate and deploy to those needing rescue.

But the navy isn’t the only band of volunteers sent by our sister state Louisiana. A caravan of meal-makers, going by “Cajun Gravy” showed up to do what they do best — feed people, and first responders in particular.

YOU’D NEVER HEARD OF THE ‘CAJUN GRAVY’? YOU HAVE NOW.

While Louisiana’s Cajun Navy is hard at work rescuing Texans from the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, The Cajun Gravy is making sure first responders are well fed. The Cajun Gravy is cooking up famous Louisiana dishes, including things like jambalaya and red beans and rice.

Thursday afternoon, they were operating out of Orange, Texas at a temporary housing location for about 1,000 first responders. Among those being served are Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries agents, Louisiana and Texas National Guard members, strike teams, and water rescue personnel.

A group of Louisiana cooks from the cities of Baton Rouge, Gonzales, and Donaldsonville formed the group after seeing the devastation left behind by Hurricane Harvey. One of the founders, Kyle Rome, owns Kickstands Kitchen, a catering company in Ascension Parish.

Did CNN FAKE this?

From Allen West: “With the whole world watching the tragic loss of life and property in Texas, CNN corespondent Drew Griffin decided to play the role of hero and assist in the saving of a man in distress, which on the surface is certainly worthy of applause.”

When I saw the clip, I thought it was a bit much when the guy thanked them for “saving my life.” But it gets worse. A sharp-eyed tweeter noticed that the “heroic” talking head apparently took the time to CHANGE HIS CLOTHES in the middle of the so-called rescue. When he first runs behind the wheelchair sign, you can see he’s wearing the red hoodie with shorts and sandals. But later, he’s wearing black pants.
