Of course, Franklin is right on the media, and everyone knows it. It's too bad they cannot play their role in determining the facts, just the facts. Their coverage on Election Night has to stand out as one of the Most Historic Nights of Live TV, even above any NFL Super Bowl half-time show. It was fascinating to watch them confidently predict that Hillary would win, depending on their exit-polls and a few select urban districts. They did not know the Grand Strategy at play--that 270 is the Magic Number, not voters, and that can come from all kinds of states, and if you win a few choice big states, you've got it. Hillary won obvious liberal states like NY and CA, but missed out in PA, MI, and FL. After that, I was hoping the News Media would start covering how this happened, namely Who Voted for Trump? Where did they live? Why didn't they vote for Hilary? Was it Barack's statement about closing down coal mines? They should have sent reporters out to the Hinterlands to find those voters, even to help their Masters, the Democrat Party leaders, because it would be helpful for them to come up with a competing message. Instead, we get Hilary and many others, like Barack's advisor who laughed at us (that phone phrase, if you like your dr. you can keep your dr)and called us name |

Did you hear the same news item that I did the other day about the Obamas and their law licenses? It seems that Michele turned hers in, in a move usually done before it is taken away or suspended by the state, in a case in Illinois involving insurance fraud. Now I'm sure we all know that she made big money as a hospital exec. (despite having no business degree, or medical degree that would qualify her) the day after her husband got a position on a medical review committee in Illinois' State Legislature. I wonder if they were both white and Republican, would anyone have noticed? By the way, do you remember how many liberal whites thought that they were the Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread. Even one of their scions said, 'Well, he's clean and neat' (as if Je$$e Jackson and Farakhan never took baths) and one of the esteemed members of the media loved his 'sharply creased pants' (which makes you think tailors have a lot to do with success). I don't know but maybe they though, "If we just elect a black man (forgetting that his mother was white), we can eliminate all this 'friction' between the races." What do you think? Did it help any? Didn't a lot of race riots and anti-police actions take place afterwards (in Dallas, for example)? It seems like it was not enough. |

Well, before Christmas he visited the folk in Broward County, which did draw a lot of Hispanics from Miami-Dade County. If you know Spanish, you can listen online to the local radio at 'lapoderosa.com' where they regularly air talk programs that take many more calls than anyone like Rush or Sean, and most of those callers are conservatives. A friend tells me there is a loyal group of Hispanics that gather every Saturday to show support for President Trump at a large county park not too far from Maldonado's church. On this morning's talk show (8am to 10am), they were explaining that this Jan 3 event is not open to the general public like the Broward event was; it is limited to the members of that church. So, if your first name starts with J and ends with 'im,' don't plan on making any flights from Nebraska to MIA to attend this event, no matter how much you want to stand outside and carry a protest sign. But, on the other hand, you are welcome to visit the local parks and chat with those supporters in the park next Saturday. In the meantime, brush up on your Spanish and get online to listen to that radio station. They even have a camera in the studio so you can watch the people (which seem to be all AARP members, if not members of the RMD generation) |
