Fake news: CNN keeps on lying

First, CNN published this on their Twitter page.

Nancy Sinatra replied with this Tweet.

Second, CNN misled people with this story:

When, in fact, during the inauguration the crowd looked like this.

This is an enlargement of the photo to which CNN referred.

Do you want to know the facts? The photo above, showing fewer people, was taken early in the morning of the inauguration. The photo showing a packed mall was taken during the inauguration itself, a few hours later.

CNN is becoming the American Media Maggot version of Hillary Rodham Clinton, who could not open her mouth without confirming her serial liar status. Honest journalism is dead; CNN insists on hammering that point home roughly every day.

Let’s not stop there. I’d like to show you some of the Tweets sent out on Donald Trump’s inauguration day, starting with Bill Kristol, a Republican.

Bill Kristol finds it “depressing and vulgar” to hear a president say the words “America first”? Are you absolutely kidding me? Actively advocating for your country is now anathema to those who claim to be Republicans?

Until December of last year, Kristol was the Editor-In-Chief at The Weekly Standard, a Republican magazine. A Never Trumper from the outset, Kristol was responsible for convincing Evan McMullan of Utah to run for president as an Independent.

Let’s next look at the Tweet of Kurt Eichenwald, who writes for Vanity Fair, Newsweek and the New York Times.

A ridiculous argument as ISIS needs no further motivation to recruit, other than infidels exist in the world, and that Western countries exist as well. And, uh, Kurt, allow me to please improve your Tweets. I think you meant “smug” instead of “snug.” Of course, I don’t want to be putting words in your mouth. I’d rather you just look as silly as you are already, yes?

Caitlin Moran proves she’s obviously a public school graduate where spelling never counted.

Then there’s the mature, loving, understanding, tolerant and sensitive Tweet of Canadian Leftist Ashley Csanady, who felt compelled to add photographs of Barron Trump to emphasize her point. Hell, he’s a Trump kid so he makes great fodder for insult and ridicule.

But wait, it gets better. There’s nothing finer than accusing Barron Trump of being your next home-schooled mass shooter. Now that’s insightful.

This time our compassionate, understanding, tolerant and sensitive Leftist, Katie Rich, an employee of NBC, believes that libeling Donald Trump’s 10-year-old son is perfectly splendid because, after all, he’s Donald Trump’s son. Fair game.

Ashley and Katie, does that make you feel empowered, like you’re “big women,” by taking shots at Barron Trump, a 5th grader?

There were many, many more examples but I had to draw the line somewhere. Can you imagine what would have occurred had anyone done these same things to Sasha and Malia in their formative years?

I simply lack the words.

Obama’s goal now and in 2015: pushing America into decline?

Obama Striding Towards PodiumCharles Krauthammer, a very measured man whom I admire, believes so:

Mr Krauthammer is precisely correct; Mr Obama is a man, as president, who purposely chooses “America in decline.”  America’s enemies are emboldened, Obama is “concerned,” he “monitors,” and has done roughly nothing to hold America in the good light that he swore would return to our nation under his leadership.  We are not respected internationally as he said we would be under his tenure.

Further, we have natural gas and oil reserves that can potentially rid the nation of its festering relationship with the Islamic Middle East.  We have the capability to rid ourselves of a great deal of Blood or Conflict Oil.

Yet Mr Obama decides we shall not pursue independence.  Instead, he chooses social divisiveness over unity and coherence, class and racial warfare over cohesiveness and singularity of national purpose.

As Mr Krauthammer states, Obama is a man who does not believe in American exceptionalism or American goodness.  He seeks to place us completely in line with every other nation, no better than Cuba or Luxembourg or Syria or Zimbabwe or Burma.  “American greatness” does not exist in Mr Obama’s sphere of thinking.

This philosophy informs every move Mr Obama makes — or doesn’t make.

Your thoughts?
