The Hypocrisy in Media Coverage of North Korean Summit

The Hypocrisy in Media Coverage of North Korean Summit

By: Bill O'Reilly


You can bet that the anti-Trump forces are seething today after President Trump’s successful trip to Singapore.  Mr. Trump’s worldwide exposure as a diplomat defies the narrative that he is incompetent and unmoored.


It is both maddening and amusing to watch Senator Charles Schumer, for example, express his deep concern over North Korea’s human rights record.  The Senate minority leader was a top cheerleader for the Obama-Iranian nuke deal with the vicious Mullahs who promote genocide against Israel.  But, now, he’s worried about human rights.


This kind of hypocrisy is typical of Party apparatchiks on both sides.  But Schumer is the poster-boy.


Likewise, the leftist media is now soooooo concerned about whether the USA gave up too much.  Like temporarily suspending war games with South Korea.  That’s right, the left apparently likes those war maneuvers.  Who knew?

CHAIRMAN EMERITUS OF AMERICAN DIPLOMACY: Henry Kissinger

Of course you can question this - you have every right. You also may agree.     

 

Kissinger is now 94 years old.  HE IS CHAIRMAN EMERITUS OF AMERICAN DIPLOMACY

 

Recently, Henry Kissinger did an interview and said very amazing things regarding President Trump.  He starts with: 

“Donald Trump is a phenomenon that foreign countries haven’t seen before”!

 

The former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger gives us a new understanding of President Donald Trump’s foreign policy and predicts its success: 

“Liberals and all those who favor (Hillary) Clinton will never admit it.  They will never admit that he is the one true leader. The man is doing changes like never before and does all of it for the sake of this nation’s people.   After eight years of tyranny, we finally see a difference.”

 

Kissinger knows it and he continues with: 

“Every country now has to consider two things: One, their perception that the previous president, or the outgoing president, basically withdrew America from international politics, so that they had to make their own assessments of their necessities. And secondly, that there is a new president who’s asking a lot of unfamiliar questions. And because of the combination of the partial vacuum and the new questions, one could imagine that something remarkable and new emerges out of it.”

 

Then Kissinger puts it bluntly: 

“Trump puts America and its people first. This is why people love him and this is why he will remain in charge for so long. There is not a single thing wrong with him and people need to open their eyes.”  When he boasts that he has a “bigger red button” than Kim Jung Un does, he so transcends the mealy-mouthed rhetoric of the past, thereby forcing a new recognition of American power.

 

  Kissinger once wrote: 

“The weak grow strong by effrontery – The strong grow weak through inhibition!”

 

No sentence better captures the U.S.-North Korea relationship.

Trump is discarding the inhibitions and calling the bluff on North Korea’s effrontery:  His point is that the contrast of American retreat under Obama and its new assertion of power under Trump creates a new dynamic that every one of our allies and of our enemies must consider.  Our allies grew complaisant with Obama’s passivity and now are fearful due to Trump’s activism. And they must balance the two in developing their policies:  They realize that the old assumptions, catalyzed by Bush 43’s preoccupation with Iraq and Obama’s refusal to lead are obsolete.  So, Trump is forcing a new calculus with a new power behind American interests. Those — here and abroad — who rode the old apple cart worry about its being toppled.

 

But, as Kissinger so boldly stated:   

“Trump is the one true leader in world affairs and he is forcing policy changes that put America first!”

 

          God Bless OUR America…

MS-13 is a demonic death cult. President Trump has Nancy Pelosi defending its members' humanity.

Image result for pELOSI downloadable pics

 

 Washington Post

 

 

 

 By  Marc A. ThiessenJune 1

 

How evil is MS-13? Last year, two gang members in Texas reportedly  murdered a teenage girl as an offering to Satan. According to prosecutors, the gang leader (known as “Diabolico”) told the young girl that “the Beast” wanted “a soul” before having his partner shoot her in the head and dump her body on a street corner. As charges were read against the two, the Houston Chronicle reported, they “laughed, smiled and waved for the media cameras.” MS-13 gang members, police have said, also  stabbed a Maryland man more than 100 times before decapitating him and cutting out his heart ... lured a 34-year-old man to his already dug grave ... and stoned an 18-year-old boy to death and dumped his body under a bridge.

 

MS-13 is a demonic death cult. And President Trump has Nancy Pelosi defending its members’ humanity.

 

When Trump  declared at a White House roundtable “You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are. These aren’t people. These are animals,” he was clearly referring to MS-13. But the media and Democrats took the president’s quote out of context and declared that he had referred to all illegal immigrants as animals. The Associated Press tweeted that “Trump referred to those crossing US border illegally as ‘animals.’” The New York Times  tweeted, “Trump lashed out at undocumented immigrants during a White House meeting, calling those trying to breach the country’s borders ‘animals.’” Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.)  declared, “When all of our great-great-grandparents came to America they weren’t ‘animals,’ and these people aren’t either.”

By the next morning, news organizations were walking back their stories. The Associated Press announced it had “deleted a tweet from late Wednesday on Trump’s ‘animals’ comment about immigrants because it wasn’t made clear that he was speaking after a comment about gang members.”

 

But not Pelosi, the House minority leader. Even after it was clear that Trump was referring to gang members, the California Democrat  still claimed the president had called “undocumented immigrants” animals, declaring at a news conference that his remarks “inhumane” and that “we’re all God’s children ... Does he not believe in the spark of divinity, the dignity and worth of every person?”

 

Of course, we are all created in the image and likeness of God. That is true of MS-13 members. It was also true of Osama bin Laden, Pol Pot and Adolf Hitler. But can you imagine Pelosi standing up in outrage to defend their humanity? Referring to evil men as “animals” is a common colloquial expression. The Oxford Dictionary’s definition of the word “animal” includes “a person without human attributes or civilizing influences, especially someone who is very cruel, violent, or repulsive.” It offers, as an example of its proper use: “those men have to be animals — what they did to that boy was savage.” Which is exactly how Trump used the word.

To thi

si has neither retracted her remarks nor admitted she was wrong. So now Trump is giving as good as he got. “I noticed recently where Democrats, Nancy Pelosi as an example, are trying to defend MS-13 gang members,” Trump declared at a Long Island event last week. “I called them animals the other day and I was met with rebuke. They said, ‘they are people.’ They are not people. These are animals.” At a rally in Nashville this week, he announced to a cheering crowd that Pelosi “loves MS-13,” pointing out that “I said they’re animals, and she said ‘how dare you say that?’ ” He then asked the crowd, “What was the name?” The crowd responded, “animals!” Expect to hear that refrain at many Trump rallies in the months ahead.

 

Through their dishonesty, Democrats such as Pelosi have handed the president a winning issue.Harvard/Harris poll finds that 56 percent of Americans agree with Trump that it is fair to call MS-13 “animals” (including 47 percent of Hispanics, and 41 percent of Democrats). Millions of Americans can’t understand why Democrats seem more hostile toward Trump than a vicious gang that carries out savage killings.

Is Trump wrong to say Pelosi “loves MS-13”? Sure. But with her deceitful attack, she gave him the pretext to make that claim. There is a lesson here for Democrats: Trump says enough outrageous things that Democrats shouldn’t have to make them up. When the president has you defending the “dignity and worth” of MS-13 members, you’re doing something wrong.

President Donald Trump produces an economic miracle for USA :-)

Donald Trump produces an economic miracle

By Wayne Allyn Root Review-Journal
   
  Muhammad Ali said:

“It ain’t bragging if you can back it up.”

Since the day Donald J. Trump declared his candidacy for president (almost three years ago), I’ve predicted that he would turn around the miserable Obama economy and produce the biggest economic boom since Ronald Reagan.

I even gave this Trump economic turnaround a catchy name: The Trump Miracle.

Don’t look now, but Trump may actually be better than Reagan.

Reagan produced millions of good-paying middle-class jobs, unprecedented prosperity and an historical economic expansion. But Trump is on track to surpass Reagan’s economic success.

Let’s start with the May jobs report. U.S. job growth sharply accelerated. Non-farm payrolls increased by 223,000, smashing expectations by 33,000 jobs. Manufacturing gained 18,000 jobs. Construction gained 25,000 jobs. Mining gained almost 6,000 jobs.

The jobless rate is now 3.8 percent, the lowest since November 1969. Yes, I said 1969.

Wages are up 2.7 percent for the year. Happy days are here again. A wage increase of any size was just a rumor during the eight years under Barack Obama.

But I haven’t gotten to the really good news yet. The number of full-time jobs rose by 904,000 for May. That’s the biggest monthly increase this century.

We also lost 625,000 low-quality, low-wage, part-time jobs. I call them “Obama jobs.” Good riddance. In the Obama era, every new job required food stamps and free health care to survive.

The Trump Miracle produces the exact opposite. With Trump’s economy, its all full-time, high-wage jobs.

More good news. The United States has moved back to No. 1 in the world on the Global Competitiveness Index. Thanks to President Trump’s massive tax cuts and killing of regulations, we’re now ahead of booming economies such as Singapore, Hong Kong and Switzerland.

One more incredible statistic. A record 35 percent of small businesses reported paying higher wages to employees last month. Seventy-four percent of employers plan to pay $11 per hour or higher, compared to 53 percent a year ago. Small business is exploding under Trump.

Why is this happening? First, Trump cut taxes dramatically, so business owners can now afford to share the wealth. Second, Trump is killing regulations at the fastest pace of any president in history, so business owners can spend their money on paying higher wages instead of on legal bills.

And, third, here’s the big one: Trump’s strict immigration policies are working overtime (excuse the pun). Forty percent of employers are using E-Verify to hire only legal American citizens — up from 25 percent last year.

Now to a little personal example. I’m on the front lines of the economy. I have no safe job, no safe paycheck, no pension. I am a small businessman and entrepreneur. Which means I spend my life pitching deals and hustling 24/7. I’m the perfect laboratory experiment for whether the economy is working.

Under Obama I pitched many deals but never raised one dollar in eight long years. Everything has changed under Trump. The world of money has opened up. Everyone is buying again. Everyone is writing checks again. I’m raising money for business deals — and groups are banging down my doors to invest. Investors are begging me to take their checks.

That never happened in eight long years under Obama.

It’s a new day under President Trump. We are free to make money again. We are free to practice capitalism without guilt. The sun is out. The skies are blue. There’s a job in every pot. The Trump Miracle lives.

President Donald J. Trump should be the runaway winner of the 2018 Nobel Prize in economics.
