The Morning Report 11/22/17
Good morning kids. Well, it's the day before Thanksgiving and in the midst of all the insanity we have much to be grateful for. Mostly it's the Left-Democrat-Media-Entertainment Complex absolutely immolating itself over the sexual abuse scandals now affecting dozens of its key figures. At the same time, the nearly two year campaign to destroy first candidate and now President Trump has utterly backfired on them. In fact, I think it's safe to say that his popularity and support has, shall we say, stiffened, in the face of it all.
And that brings us to two pieces I thought worthy of attention (since obviously the media will embargo and/or distort them), the first being the trashing by Ajit Pai's FCC of Obama-era Net Neutrality regulations and the news that despite the resistance and recalcitrance of the entrenched Establishmentarians in DC, the President's next agenda item is pure red meat: spending cuts and welfare reform. And to Enron advisor Paul Krugman and stunted socialist Robert B. Reichhhhhhh-uh I say THAT is how you "pay" for tax cuts.
Back to the Leftist Perversion scandal (we need a name for this), as the allegations against Judge Roy Moore are being exposed faster than Harvey Weinstein can drop his drawers at the Botanical Garden, the President has all but endorsed him outright. Too bad his hot but stupid daughter decided to give a soundbite that Moore's opponent is now using in his campaign ads; not that that matters since I have seen reports that Moore is rising in the polls and in the all-important donations category. Also, we have several links that delve into the political and social ramifications of what George Neumayr at American Spectator describes as "the beta male sexual predator."
By the way, the Fusion GPS bank records have been finally unsealed and surprise! - there are payments linked from Russia as well as payments going to journalists. And the Uranium 1 Scandal may be heating up for Hillary and Obama. Yes, I know, with Snoozy McSnoozerson at the DoJ and Tray "tres gaudy" Gowdy on the case, those two will more than likely skate. But still...
On a personal note, I would like to extend a heartfelt vayr-ge-hargit and gey-kok-in-offin-yom to my alma mater, Brooklyn College. Despite the typical hippie bullshit of the 60s, it was always a decent bastion of learning until its devolution seemingly overnight into one of the worst Leftist indoctrination centers in the nation. Now the inmates in charge of the asylum are forcing cops to use bathrooms that are dilapidated sewers on the far end of the campus so the students won't be "triggered" by the sight of them. Disgraceful.
Lastly, we note with sadness the passing of David Cassidy at the age of just 67. Despite the upheaval and turmoil of the late 60s/early 70s, America was a kinder, gentler place (doesn't every generation think that about their youth?). The antics of Keith Partridge, the good-looking yet goofy heartthrob of TV's "The Partridge Family" was part of an entertainment landscape that let us escape from our troubles and "get happy." No idea what his politics were but he was a talented musician and a consummate performer. RIP.
Anyway, links from around the world, across the nation and up your street. Have a better one and remain blessed.
