The Boss used to do this all the time too......

President Trump offered to pay for the funeral of Army soldier Vanessa Guillen who was murdered by another soldier who was sexually attacking her. This is typical of President Trump as he does this kind of thing all the time. Something the Boss George Steinbrenner also would do all the time. Pay for a funeral. Give a college scholarship. Help out people who needed it. Without a lot of fanfare. 

This was unusual because it is usually covered up by the mainstream media. The family wanted it out there so they could say how appreciative they are.

The family didn't want a military funeral. Who could blame them.The Army failed them. How could they allow this kind of bullshit to happen. This wasn't a simple case of sexual harassment. This was murder. Heads should roll. Starting with the Chief of Staff who is a shit head anyway.

From the New York Post:

"Trump made the offer while hosting the family of Vanessa Guillen, who was 20, in the Oval Office. A male soldier suspected of killing Guillen near the Texas base committed suicide, the Army has said.

In response to a reporter’s question, Trump said he’s paid for other soldiers’ funerals.

“I have, I have. I have to do it personally, I can’t do it through government,” Trump said. “I have because some families need help. They need help.”

Guillen’s family declined a military funeral, and are awaiting the return of her remains, which Trump said he would help expedite.

“I don’t even know if you need help, maybe you don’t need help from a financial standpoint. I have no idea. I just think it’s a horrific thing that happened and if you did need help, I’ll be there to help you,” Trump said."

I never realized just how much I missed the Boss until recently. I know I will feel the same when President Trump is gone as well.

Happy Birthday Boss...we miss you!

It's been ten years since the Boss passed and I sure miss him. If he would have been around we would have been having a whole different baseball landscape let me tell you. He is missed.

Happy Birthday in Heaven Boss.

Can Twitter destroy a Presidential Statement? (UPDATED 1:32 am)

A tweeter asks, highlighting the story: "R.E.M.'s publisher asks Twitter to remove State of the Union video tweeted by Trump over use of the band's song"

The publisher of rock band R.E.M.'s music asked Twitter to remove a satirical video clip containing one of the band's songs that President Donald Trump's account tweeted Friday, CNBC has learned.

A lawyer for Universal Music Publishing Group reached out to the president's preferred social media platform asking that the video be removed, said a source familiar with the situation, who asked to remain anonymous.

Funny if the Streisand effect has the unintended consequence of further publicizing the satirical video. It's funnier when you find out somebody wants it censored.

Enjoy.

Peace

And sometimes I am sorry when the grass
Is growing over the stones in quiet hollows
And the cocksfoot leans across the rutted cart-pass
That I am not the voice of country fellows
Who now are standing by some headland talking
Of turnips and potatoes or young corn
Of turf banks stripped for victory.
Here Peace is still hawking
His coloured combs and scarves and beads of horn.

Upon a headland by a whinny hedge
A hare sits looking down a leaf-lapped furrow
There's an old plough upside-down on a weedy ridge
And someone is shouldering home a saddle-harrow.
Out of that childhood country what fools climb
To fight with tyrants Love and Life and Time?

The reason for this whole CNN kerfulle is that they are elitist assholes who know nothing about anything a normal American knows.

The whole reason why the mincing mo's of CNN lost their minds over Trump's gif is that they do not know anything about stuff regular Americans know.

They don't know anything about professional wrestling. About sports. About carbs. About the flag. About the right to life. About Christianity. About patriotism. They are too busy eating tofu and debating how to destroy the white working class to promote minorities and illegal aliens. Drinking micro brews instead of Bud or Miller or Reingold. Vegan instead of Barbecue. Transgender instead of transmissions. They don't know us.

They hate us. They fear us. They despise us. We need to return the favor. In spades. (That's a metaphor Lem I am not talking about Black people).

The reason that President Obama did NOTHING about Russia after being notified by the CIA of meddling is that he expected Clinton would win..

...and did not want to "rock the boat." He didn't "choke," he colluded or obstructed, and it did the Dems and Crooked Hillary no good.

8:50 AM - 26 Jun 2017

President Trump has it exactly right here. Make them live up to their own bullshit. They claim collusion and obstruction. While all the time Obama knew what the Russians were doing and did nothing. Most likely to cover up what he was doing. What they did was have an opposition research firm make a phony dossier that was used by the partisan FBI to get a FISA warrant to tape Candidate Trump and his associates. Then that information was illegally unmasked and spread out through the government in the expectation that it would be leaked. There are literally dozens of felonies in that chain of events. Of course Mueller is not going to follow up on that as he is only tasked at destroying Trump with his merry band of Democratic Donor Lawyers and left wing partisans. Trump needs to clean the swamp. Now.

Cut the cord!

Mike Cernovich discusses why Trump is having so much trouble with the media and what he should do (excepted from Vox Popoli the blog of Vox Day)

When WaPo or NY Times drops a “devastating” story on Trump, do you know who reads these stories — liberals!

Thus one can see the problem with Trump’s media team. They are spending all of their time, energy, and focus responding to news that most Trump supporters won’t even see, and if we see it, won’t believe it.

Trump was right (for the wrong reasons) when he jokingly claimed he could shoot someone on Fifth Ave. Most of his supporters would never see the story, and absent a clear video, wouldn’t believe the story if they saw it.

Want to know how out “out of touch” Trump supporters are with what liberal media is saying? I don’t even notice most of the media hit pieces on me, and even with a massive online following, people rarely ask me about anything nasty the media is saying about me. My readers, like me, aren’t reading liberal propaganda outlets.

Trump’s media team is playing defense, running around responding to stories that most of Trump’s base will never read, and if they read, would never believe.     


I think this exactly right and the Newt Gringrich has the perfect solution.

Hillary tries to troll Trump by putting Mark Cuban in front row of debate.......Amateur.

Ted Cruz Endorses Donald Trump for President
By Michelle Moons Breitbart News September 23, 2016

Sen. Ted Cruz has endorsed Republican nominee Donald Trump for President four months after dropping out of the race for president, returning to his work in the U.S. Senate, and beginning to campaign for re-election in 2018.

A statement from Cruz read:

This election is unlike any other in our nation’s history. Like many other voters, I have struggled to determine the right course of action in this general election.

In Cleveland, I urged voters, “please, don’t stay home in November. Stand, and speak, and vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket whom you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the Constitution.”

After many months of careful consideration, of prayer and searching my own conscience, I have decided that on Election Day, I will vote for the Republican nominee, Donald Trump.I’ve made this decision for two reasons. First, last year, I promised to support the Republican nominee. And I intend to keep my word. Plus it looks like he will win and I don't want to further damage my political viability. 

Second, even though I have had areas of significant disagreement with our nominee, by any measure Hillary Clinton is wholly unacceptable — that’s why I have always been #NeverHillary. So I can never endorse her. Remember a rat never joins a sinking ship.

Master Troll Class!

“It’s hard to imagine this as anything other than a political rick-roll,” anchor Jake Tapper .

Another master class in political troll-fu was administered by Donald Trump on the biased scumbag media. After the way they cut away from the Angel Moms at the Republican Convention Trump knew that they only way he would get coverage of his endorsement by Medal of Honor winners was to bait and switch. So he had the CNN and FOX cameras running while he talked about his hotel and then had generals and admirals and Medal of Honor winners who were happy to endorse him. All the while the scumbag press was waiting for him to apologize for being a "Birther." 

Which he didn't do. Never apologize because it is a sign of weakness. Just as it is a sign of weakness to call David Duke deporable because then the media game is who else is deporable. The Alt-Right? Milo? His voters? You don't play their game. You stick it up their ass. They have no choice but to cover his campaign.

He had an event in New Hampshire where the press was a half  hour late. He started without him and mocked these worthless scumbags. What they do? Here are some quotes:

“This is completely ridiculous and unacceptable. This has gone on for way to [sic] long and it’s time we take a stand,” said one member of the traveling press.

“The press corps is at a boiling point here and was more frustrated tonight than ever,” said another.

“There’s the want to do something among traveling press of course — being constantly mocked and demonized is awful — but there’s the competing feeling that news organizations have almost let too much slide to have any bargaining power at this point,” said a third member of Trump’s traveling press corps."

Awwww poor babies. What have they done but demonized Trump 24/7? Not ust Trump. Bush, McCain and Romney before him. Trump is not a pussy like them so he will troll them and make them look like the biased scum that they are. They will be freaking out and attacking him even more. Regular people will discount them because they have overplayed their hand. They started out a 100% anti-Trump and they can't ratchet it up anymore than they already have without looking ridiculous.

This is what Trump is best at. He will bambozzle the press and get his message out to the people over their biased scumbag heads. While concern trolling Hillary as she drools and collapses at the podium during the debate. They are starting to panic.  

Too bad I can't eat popcorn anymore.

Trump gives great foreign policy speech ....brands Hillary as reckless and bloodthirsty!

Donald Trump gave a great speech today where he laid the wood to that choking harpy. Some excepts from Breitbart News:

"Unlike my opponent, my foreign policy will emphasize diplomacy, not destruction. Hillary Clinton’s legacy in Iraq, Libya, and Syria has produced only turmoil and suffering. Her destructive policies have displaced millions of people, then she has invited the refugees into the West with no plan to screen them. Including Veteran healthcare costs, the price of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could total $6 trillion, according to a report in the Washington Examiner. Yet, after all this money spent and lives lost, Clinton’s policies as Secretary of State have left the Middle East in more disarray than ever before. Meanwhile, China has grown more aggressive, and North Korea more dangerous and belligerent. Russia has defied this Administration at every turn. Putin has no respect for President Obama or Hillary Clinton. Sometimes it has seemed like there wasn’t a country in the Middle East that Hillary Clinton didn’t want to invade, intervene or topple. She is trigger-happy and unstable when it comes to war."

I think this is a key point. Hillary signs on to the neocon consensus and wants to start more endless wars. She is rattling sabers at Russia when our true adversary is China and Russia is a natural ally. 

Happy Birthday Boss! I miss you!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. (Theodore Roosevelt)
