Where are your manners Jim Acosta? Who do you think you are?

After an unprofessional performance at a White House press conference earlier this week, CNN’s Chief White House Correspondent, Jim Acosta, has been denied access to The White House “until further notice.”

White House Press Secretary, Sarah Sanders, announced yesterday that CNN’s Jim Acosta had his press pass suspended by The White House.

“I’ve just been denied entrance to the WH,” Acosta cried via a tweet Wednesday night. “Secret Service just informed me I cannot enter the WH grounds…”

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders confirmed Acosta’s tweet in a later statement, claiming the suspension of his press credentials stemmed from his “placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern.” She called the behavior “absolutely unacceptable.”

Is Jim Acosta related to Bill Clinton in any way? Just wondering.

The CNN reporter, during a news conference at the White House earlier Wednesday, got into a heated debate with Trump after he asked the president about the migrant caravan. “Honestly, I think you should let me run the country and you run CNN,” the president said.

Acosta tried to ask the President another question before a female White House aide walked over to him.

President Trump then told him, “That’s enough!”

Acosta continued to try to talk as the intern was seen trying to take the microphone from his hand. She grabbed the microphone but Acosta wouldn’t give it up and there was contact between the two and he actually chopped down on her arm. If you get a chance to actually watch the video, I’m sure you’ll agree that it is quite obvious.

I’m sorry Jim, the “fake news” may try and convince us we’re not seeing what we’re seeing, but we did see it, and it is what it is.

In a later statement, Sanders said, “President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his Administration.”

“Contrary to CNN’s assertions,” Sanders continued, “there is no greater demonstration of the President’s support for a free press than the event he held today. Only they would attack the President for not being supportive of a free press in the midst of him taking 68 questions from 35 different reporters over the course of an hour and a half, including several from the reporter in question.”

“The fact that CNN is proud of the way their employee behaved is not only disgusting, it is an example of their outrageous disregard for everyone, including young women, who work in this Administration,” Sanders added.

CNN said Jim Acosta has “our full support.”

Of course he has their support, he’s their poster boy for obnoxious and biased “reporting.”

The White House Correspondents’ Association in a statement called the move “unacceptable,” and urged the White House to “immediately reverse this weak and misguided action.”

Isn’t the White House Correspondents’ Association the same group that hires lame, supposed, comedians to bash President Trump at their pretentious little annual get together to pat each other on the back? Why yes it is. That would explain their “weak and misguided” response!

“I tell you what, CNN should be ashamed of itself having you work for them,” Trump told Acosta. “The way you treat Sarah Huckabee [Sanders] is horrible. And the way you treat other people is horrible. You shouldn’t treat people that way.”

You’re entirely correct Mr. President.

“Rudeness is the weak man’s imitation of strength.” – Edmund Burke

“Ideological differences are no excuse for rudeness.” – Judith S. Martin

“A polite enemy is just as difficult to discredit, as a rude friend is to protect.” – Bryant McGill

If we look back at the eight years of the Obama administration, reporters would never dream of taking the tone with him like they do with you. In addition, The Obama era press secretaries were Robert Gibbs, Jay Carney and Josh Earnest. None of them were forced to take the abuse and disrespect that Sarah Sanders has had to endure on a daily basis.

In fact, during the Obama years, the only reporters who ever asked President Obama or his Press Secretary a remotely challenging question were Major Garrett and Ed Henry, of Fox News, and even then the questions were asked in a respectful manner.

The White House intern who attempted to take the microphone from Acosta eventually handed it off to Peter Alexander, of NBC News. He called Acosta a “diligent reporter who busts his butt,” to which Trump shot back: “Well, I’m not a big fan of yours either, to be honest.”

Nice one Mr. President.

I’m a big fan of yours though!

WINNING!

Here are two of the “caravan” migrants who are suing President Trump and the US Government over their “rights!”

A dozen migrants traveling by foot from Honduras to the United States to illegally enter our country, and seek phony “asylum,” filed a class-action lawsuit Thursday against President Trump, the Department of Homeland Security and others, claiming a violation of their due process and Constitutional rights under the Fifth Amendment.

We can say “phony asylum” because they have already turned “political asylum” down from the Mexican government, hence they can’t claim political asylum again from a neighboring country of Mexico’s, in this case, The United States.

We have now been able to identify Speedy Gonzalez and his cousin, Slowpoke Rodriguez, as two of the main instigators of the migrant “invasion” as it passes through Mexico.

These migrants, of course, always travel with other migrants who are U.S Constitutional scholars, and others who are adept at filing class-action lawsuits in U.S. courts! They also travel with their own laptops, printers and satellite dishes, in order to be able to download the required forms, etc.

Dang! These migrants are good!

I know! Maybe Speedy Gonzalez took the lawsuit, ran across the border so fast that no one even saw him, filed the lawsuit, then ran back across the US border and back to the caravan before anyone even missed him!

The Fifth Amendment states that, “No person… shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”

Well, the migrants are p-r-e-t-t-y good. The problem is, muchachos, that you all are not citizens of The United States, so The Constitution of The United States does not apply to you. There’s the end of your lawsuit. Not to mention that your claims of asylum have now been invalidated.

In all actuality, these migrants and their liberal democrat partners in crime are so confused on so many levels.

What exactly is “due process” here, and when and where the proceedings might take place is also up for interpretation.

Two people can play that “playing around with the law” game.

Twelve Honduran nationals, including six children, are listed as plaintiffs in the lawsuit. The suit, which was filed Thursday (11/1/18) in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., said it is widely known (Widely known by whom? I’m not aware of it.) that Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador are “undergoing a well-documented human rights crisis.”

That’s funny, because it’s also widely known that the United States is experiencing a well-documented illegal immigration crisis.

All of the Hollywood liberals who are threatening to leave our country because it is soooo terrible, should be making the case to these “caravaners” to save themselves the trouble and just stay where they are!

The Central American migrant caravan now numbers between 4,000 and 7,000 people.

The lawsuit points to President Trump’s claim that he will prevent the caravan from entering the U.S. It claims that the president cannot stop asylum-seekers by employing the military, when they have a fair claim.

And we have already established that their claim is not fair or valid at this point.

The suit criticized the president’s alleged attempt at stoking “fear and hysteria” by claiming that criminals and gang members have joined the caravan.

So these claimants are saying there are no “criminals or gang members” in and amongst the caravan?

I feel it would be fairly easy to argue that President Trump is not trying stoke the “fear and hysteria” among the American people. He is simply stating the truth and stating his concerns about this “invasion” headed towards our southern border.

President Trump announced in a lengthy speech at the White House this last Thursday afternoon that in response to what he called the “crisis at our southern border” and a surge of fraudulent asylum claims in recent years, his administration will soon require asylum-seekers to “lawfully present themselves” at a port of entry. (Note: A port of entry is a pre-designated harbor, border town, or airport by which people and goods may lawfully enter a country.)

Asylum claims made by migrants caught crossing the border illegally would seemingly be summarily denied under Trump’s proposal.

The asylum clause of the Immigration and Nationality Act says that anyone who arrives to the U.S. may apply for asylum based on a well-founded fear of persecution.

The asylum clause does not say that any request must be approved.

President Trump’s decision was expected to, of course, prompt immediate federal court challenges.

When reached for a comment about the entire situation, Speedy Gonzalez replied, “¡Andale! ¡Andale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba! ¡Yii-hah!” before speeding off.

An unidentified mouse in the crowd stated, “My seester knows Speedy Gonzales,” to which Slowpoke Rodriguez responded, “Evvvveryyyyybooooody’ssssss seeeester knooooows Speeeeeedy Gonzaaaaaaalez!”

Tha-tha-tha’that’s all folks!

I guess you could say the 2018 Midterm Election was a “win-win” situation.

There definitely was no “blue wave” sited in the 2018 Midterm election results last night, although, at last count, the Democrats did pick-up 26 seats in the House of Representatives and regained control there. They needed at least 23 to accomplish this.

Regarding the Senate, I think you would have to say that there was a bit of a “red wave” siting. The Republicans not only did not lose seats, but at last count, they managed to pick-up 3 seats, and that number will likely end up being 4 or even 5.

To put this performance by the Republicans in perspective, let’s look at the results of the midterm election, after President Obama’s first two years, in 2010.

In the midterm of election of 2010, the Democrat Party suffered massive defeats in many national and state level elections, with many seats switching to Republican Party control. Although the President’s party usually loses congressional, statewide and local seats in midterm elections, the 2010 midterm election season featured some of the biggest losses since the Great Depression. The Republican Party gained 63 seats in the House of Representatives, recapturing the majority, and making it the largest seat change since 1948 and the largest for any midterm election since the 1938 midterm elections. The Republicans also gained 6 seats in the U.S. Senate.

So, overall, I think the Republicans can fairly say this election was quite successful, while the Democrats should feel like it was a bit disappointing, even though they managed to regain control of The House.

In my estimation, the “biggest losers” of the midterm elections were the Obamas, Hollywood celebrities in general and these major democrat contributors.

Despite numerous appearances in Georgia and Florida by Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey and others, both states were swept by the Republicans.

Barack Obama fancies himself as the most popular president of all time, and Michelle thinks she is some uncontested “voice of reason” in America. They have obviously overestimated their popularity and influence. During Barack’s last appearances, he looked like he was rode hard and put away wet, and his voice sounded like he looked.

President Trump, on the other hand, worked tirelessly over that last month, and his popularity and energy definitely did make a big difference for races with national implications, like those in the Senate and various governorships.

Apparently most Americans are not buying that President Trump is the incarnation of evil that democrats and the “biased, liberal, fake news media” would have us believe.

Pop Singer Taylor Swift’s support was rebuked in the Tennessee Senate race, and Beto O’Rourke could not buy the Senate seat in Texas. Over $70 million was spent in the Texas Senate race, making it the most expensive in U.S. history. Between Texas, Georgia and Florida alone, these rich democrat investors wasted over $150 million of their money on their preferred candidates.

In the end, the Democrats won and the Republicans won.

The Republicans’ win was just a little more impressive.

President Trump’s rally song, by The Rolling Stones, is pretty apropos here.

“You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need.”

In 2018, both parties got what they needed, but not all that they wanted.

Thank you, MrEricksonRules.

Midterm Election Day 2018 is finally here, and it’s time to vote!

As we prepare to go out and cast our votes today, remember this:

Liberal politician and “biased, liberal, fake news media” election predictions are like a-holes. They all have one, and they all stink!

All we have to do is look at the snapshot of the tweet from The (failing) New York Times (at the bottom of the blog) to remind ourselves how accurate these polls are nowadays.

Do you remember: “Donald Trump has no path to victory.”

Then around midnight, on election night 2016, we heard, “Hillary Clinton has no path to victory.”

Hmmm. It’s funny how that works!

It ain’t over till it’s over!

We’ve seen them all these past few months, predicting a “blue wave” and touting all of their, what we know are, skewed poll figures.

Well, it’s time to vote now.

The time for predictions and polling are over.

Historically, the party NOT in power in The White House (the democrats this year) pick up quite a few seats in The House of Representatives and The Senate.

Add to that the fact that republicans lost roughly three times the amount of incumbent representatives than the democrats did, and we can see that the republicans are facing a significant challenge here.

On the other hand, President Trump has been “barnstorming” and rallying all over the country in a midterm election blitz, reminiscent of the final days of his presidential campaign.

The republicans also have, what has recently been called, “the strongest economy in US history” to run on.

I feel that this election is also going to be a referendum on our country’s borders, and how we approach immigration. Do we want “open borders?” The American people see that enormous “caravan” of potential illegal immigrants getting closer to our southern border every day. I guess we’ll see.

Let’s just recap some of the democrat party positions. What do the democrats want?:

Democrats want to double down and even triple down on nationalized health care. Reinstating ObamaCare isn’t even acceptable for the democrats at this point. They want complete government control of health care, at a cost that would double or triple our annual budget.

Of course, this would mean higher taxes, and when I say “higher taxes” I mean an ungodly increase of our taxes.

Democrats want “open borders.” “Open borders” means anyone can come walking into our country from anywhere, at any time, and they assume all of the rights and benefits of an American citizen immediately upon entry…, including the right to vote!

There are a myriad of problems associated with this philosophy. As President Trump says, “A country without borders is not a country.” This concept sounds good while we’re sitting around, holding hands and singing “We Are the World,” but it’s not feasible when we’re talking about national security, spending budgets, allocations of benefits, national economic planning and maintenance, our election system. Not to mention our Constitution.

Democrats want to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). If democrats are promoting “open borders,” it only makes sense that they want to get rid of the law enforcement agency that deals with immigration violators and people bringing illegal drugs and other items into our country.

So, in addition to allowing anyone to walk into our country from anywhere, at any time, democrats want to allow anything and everything to be brought into our country without question.

Democrats want to change our economic system from capitalism to socialism. Socialism calls for public rather than private ownership or control of property and natural resources. According to the socialist view, individuals do not live or work for themselves, but for the good of the whole. Everything that people produce is in essence a social product, and everyone is entitled to a share in it. Society as a whole, therefore, should own or at least control property for the benefit of all its members.

Please note that our country, the wealthiest and most powerful country in the world, was built through capitalism. Also please note that socialism, or its close relative communism, has never been successful where tried around the world.

“The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” – Former British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher

Democrats want to stifle our freedom of thought. We see evidence of this every day. We see it when conservatives are verbally and physically harassed out in public. We see it on college campuses, where a diversity of thought is feared and looked down upon (this should be the last place where this should occur). We see it in the entertainment industry, where entertainers are shunned and criticized for independent thought, and the rest of us are inundated by their biased renderings on daily and nightly basis.

Democrats want to return to an America that puts global interests before the interests of our own country. Democrats are chomping at the bit to destabilize our economy and return the manufacturing and trading advantages back to our global neighbors.

Remember, their “guidebook” is “Rules for Radicals,” a book dedicated to “Lucifer’” by the way, by Saul Alinsky. Alinsky is Hillary Clinton’s mentor, and Barack Obama was a follower as well. Realizing this helps us to make more sense out of their actions.

The goal of the democrats, and Alinsky’s mission was, and is, to “incite constant struggle and agitation so that the oppressive ‘system’ would eventually be brought to its knees.” The core of Alinsky’s belief is destruction. Destruction of the “system” that allows a disparity of wealth (please see the prior section on socialism).

Democrats want our economy and freedoms to bow at the altar of “climate change, “global Warming,” whatever you want to call it. Liberals in America have successfully brainwashed many Americans, and others around the world, into believing the Earth is burning up, and the villain is carbon dioxide, the gas that makes all living things grow, by the way. It doesn’t take much to see their “climate change religion” is really based on fiction, not fact.

But this plays right into their globalist intentions, and would further raise the cost of food and energy for no rational reason.

Democrats have spent billions of taxpayer dollars financing a junk, “green,” science industry and worthless renewable energy schemes that just don’t work in the real world.

Democrats/liberals believe that our National Anthem is somehow “racist,” that our Flag is “offensive,” and that our history and heritage should be erased because it is “offensive” to some as well. Liberals in America are offended by so much that it is hard to keep track of. It’s a sad way to go through life, and I wish them well in overcoming their affliction.

This democrat “to do” list should be frightening enough, but it doesn’t even include the topics of abortion, our gun rights and the 2nd amendment, and the two-tiered justice system for members of “the swamp” and then everyone else.

Whose side are the liberals/democrats on anyway?!

Is all of this really what you want to see happen?

If it is, then go ahead and vote for the democrats.

If not, then vote RED, vote for the republicans on your ballot.

Vote RED to keep our economy rolling.

Vote RED because you like America being respected around the world again.

Vote RED because you like our President putting America first regarding international trade deals and foreign policy.

Vote RED because you want to see Americans rights, safety and benefits put first before illegal immigrant rights, safety and benefits.

I’m hoping and looking for a “BIG RED WAVE’ tonight!

I am confident the republicans will retain control of The Senate, and if they can retain control of The House, by even one vote, I’ll consider that a success as well.

Stay tuned for my blog tomorrow for all of the election results!

Oh, and hey, by the way…, whatever happened to the Robert Mueller midterm election surprise indictments regarding all of that supposed Russian collusion? If Mueller had ANYTHING, ANYTHING AT ALL, you know it would have come out prior to the midterms. It is definitely time for the democrats, Mueller and Mueller’s team to give it up and go get some real jobs.

Thank you, MrEricksonRules.

It’s not “just” one vote. It’s MY one vote!

If the American people lose confidence in the integrity of our election system, we are one big step closer to our republic dissolving right before our eyes.

We hear about examples of voter fraud, and liberals (And please note: The issue of voter fraud is exclusively synonymous with liberals/democrats) are always quick to discount our voter fraud concerns as “not that prevalent,” “inconsequential,” “unfounded,” or “very rare.” Then they will quickly turn the discussion to the “real” problem, in their minds, of voter suppression, which truly is virtually a non-existent problem.

Anyone who wants to vote in this country surely gets every opportunity to do so.

Can you imagine how quickly the “biased, liberal, fake news media” would jump on any credible case of voter suppression?

I rest my case.

Okay. Back to the concerns about voter fraud.

The big question is how many fraudulent votes are acceptable?

Who’s going to the first one to stand up and volunteer to have their vote cancelled out by a fraudulent vote?

Not me.

And I’m guessing not you either.

The right to vote in a free and fair election is our most basic civil right, and one on which many other rights of the American people depend.

Our government should be able to guarantee that every eligible individual who wants to vote can, and that no one’s vote is stolen or discounted.

Voter fraud is real and hundreds of convictions have been made and documented.

According to The Heritage Foundation:

Contrary to the claims of many liberals, the problem of voter fraud is as old as the country itself. As the U.S. Supreme Court noted when it upheld Indiana’s voter identification law in 2008, “flagrant examples” of voter fraud “have been documented throughout this Nation’s history by respected historians and journalists.”

Attempts to commandeer election results have been documented dating back to the 1800’s. In one New York election in 1844, 55,000 votes were recorded even though there were only 41,000 eligible voters. Decades later, these efforts have continued and determined fraudsters have become only more creative in their efforts to fix the outcome of elections.

So what are the different types of election fraud that liberals use in an attempt to undermine our election system? Well, here they are:

Impersonation fraud at the polls: Voting in the name of other legitimate voters and voters who have died, moved away, lost their right to vote for some reason, but remain registered.

False registrations: Voting under fraudulent voter registrations that either use a phony name and a real or fake address or claim residence in a particular jurisdiction where the registered voter does not actually live and is not entitled to vote.

Duplicate voting: Registering in multiple locations and voting in the same election in more than one jurisdiction or state.

Fraudulent use of absentee ballots: Requesting absentee ballots and voting without the knowledge of the actual voter; or obtaining the absentee ballot from a voter and either filling it in directly and forging the voter’s signature or illegally telling the voter who to vote for.

Buying votes: Paying voters to cast either an in-person or absentee ballot for a particular candidate.

Illegal “assistance” at the polls: Forcing or intimidating voters, particularly the elderly, disabled, illiterate, and those for whom English is a second language, to vote for particular candidates while supposedly providing them with “assistance.”

Ineligible voting: Illegal registration and voting by individuals who are not U.S. citizens, or are otherwise not eligible to vote.

Manipulating someone’s vote automatically at the voting machine.

Altering the vote count: Changing the actual vote count either in a precinct or at the central location where votes are counted.

So, who is responsible for ensuring the integrity of our elections?

Each state is generally responsible for the administration of its own electoral systems, including elections for federal office. This being the case, I feel we open ourselves up to many problems, mostly because the states don’t have access to national databases, which presents the possibility of citizens being registered in multiple states and voting in multiple states.

Of course MrEricksonRules has his own remedy for all of our voting integrity woes!

First, our government needs to establish a new national holiday called “Election Day,” of course. This would offer everyone every opportunity and ample time to vote. Especially those people who work for a living.

There would be no “early” voting. All voting would occur on Election Day.

All voting machines would be identical, and issued to the states by the federal government.

Polling stations would be manned by current federal and/or state employees. This would give us a level of accountability we currently don’t have.

All votes would have to be cast in person. The practice of using absentee ballots would be discontinued. Military personnel would vote at their duty stations and their votes would be routed to their corresponding state based on a military database. Others unable to be in their “home” state to vote on Election Day would be able to cast a provisional ballot in the state they were physically in, then each state would then be responsible for sending these votes to their respective states. These votes would only be counted if the total number of provisional votes could potentially change the outcome of the election.

Every adult individual would be required to obtain a Federal Voter Identification Card, if they want to vote.

An initial “national voter database” would be established by cross referencing the IRS database, national military databases, national benefit databases, Social Security databases, along with Medicare and Medicaid databases.

Initial Federal Voter Identification Cards would then be mailed out based on this database. People not receiving cards by a given date would then be responsible for acquiring a card at designated state or federal locations.

Any person voting who could not be verified on the national voter database would be casting a provisional ballot.

Once you have voted, this would be entered into the national voting database, which would limit you from voting again, in the current election.

There you go.

Problem solved.

Any other problems or issues of national importance may be submitted at any time to Mr. Erickson at MrEricksonRules.com.

“The right to vote cannot come before the integrity of the vote. They have to go hand in hand.” – Mr. Erickson

Joseph Stalin, who ruled the Soviet Union (Russia) from the mid-1920s until his death in 1953, said, “It doesn’t matter how many people vote, only who counts the votes.”

“We do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate.” – Thomas Jefferson

“A vote is like a rifle: its usefulness depends upon the character of the user.” – President Teddy Roosevelt

So everyone get out there and vote (only once please, and only in the district you’re supposed to vote in please, and only if you are a legal citizen of The United States and of legal age please), tomorrow, on November 6^th!

Thank you, MrEricksonRules.

You know the old saying: “If you can’t beat ‘em, silence ‘em!”

So you don’t remember it quite like that? Me neither. But then again I’m not a democrat/liberal.

If you’re a democrat/liberal, the ends justify the means. There is no concern about being fair…, just winning. If they can’t beat you fair and square, they’ll change the rules, change the playing field, or just have you taken out of the game.

In this instance, we’re referring to cable news ratings. Specifically between the three major cable news networks: CNN, Fox News and MSNBC.

According to Mark Joyella, who is a contributor for Forbes.com, “Fox News Crushes The Cable News Competition In October Ratings.”

Just to be clear, Fox News channel routinely “crushes” CNN and MSNBC, and it’s been that way for years now. What we’re really talking about in October is an annihilation, or a complete domination.

Most of the time, Fox News Channel’s competitors can point to something and say, “we beat them here” or “we beat them there. It could be just an hour slot during the day or a special weekend show. Earlier this year MSNBC’s prime-time “star” Rachel Maddow turned in her show’s best week ever, and the liberal media were all popping the champagne. But that was then and this is now.

Joyella confessed that, “Fox News wiped the floor with CNN and MSNBC in October, beating the combined ratings of the two networks in prime-time, and delivering wall-to-wall wins across all key day parts. Fox News also saw its ratings climb in October from the same month a year ago, as its competition, with few exceptions, saw significant viewership drops.”

See what I mean? Complete and utter domination.

For the seventh month in a row, Fox News host Sean Hannity (the unrivaled King of Cable News) was the most-watched host in cable news, with a total audience of 3.495 million.

Fox News then continued by running the table with the top-five most-watched shows in prime, with Hannity followed by Tucker Carlson (3.231 million), Laura Ingraham (2.973 million), The Five (2.838 million) and Special Report with Bret Baier (2.668 million).

Several Fox News shows, including The Ingraham Angle, The Story with Martha MacCallum, Outnumbered with Harris Faulkner, The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino and Fox News at Night with Shannon Bream had all-time high ratings in October.

Overall, Fox News viewership was up +25 percent in October (in total viewers). Among viewers 25-54 years old, the key demographic coveted by advertisers, Fox grew compared to October 2017 by +13 percent, while CNN was down -11 percent and MSNBC was down -19 percent.

MSNBC had several of its key shows, including Morning Joe, All In with Chris Hayes, The Rachel Maddow Show, The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell and The 11th Hour with Brian Williams return their lowest-rated month of 2018 in October.

MSNBC was largely uncontested for second place overall (If you ain’t first, you’re last!), beating CNN among total viewers in prime time and total day viewership for the 13th consecutive month.

You can infer whatever you want from these numbers, but in any case it isn’t good for the state of “biased, liberal, fake news.”

So, how are the liberals and the “biased, liberal, fake news media” responding?

They are sicking the liberal media group “Media Matters” on Fox News, in an attempt to mount negative pressure on their advertisers!

According to Brian Stelter at CNN Business, “Media Matters’ president Angelo Carusone, who previously led boycotts against Glenn Beck and others, said on Monday that Fox’s programming ‘is only getting more extreme and volatile,’ and that’s why he is taking action now.”

“‘Fox News’ never-ending focus on demonizing political opponents and front-line communities, echoing [President] Trump and framing the struggle against these groups as an urgent matter of life or death, makes the network an increasingly bad business decision for advertisers,’ Carusone said.”

“Liberal critics of Fox, like Carusone, have pointed a finger directly at Fox, accusing the media company of inflaming tensions across the country.”

“Neera Tanden, the president of the liberal Center for American Progress, tweeted on Sunday, ‘It really is time to boycott Fox News advertisers. Who has the list? I’m game.’”

“Media Matters has been moving in this direction for a while. The group challenged Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity’s advertisers in the past.”

“In his statement on Monday, Carusone named ‘major Fox News advertisers’ like Expedia, McDonalds and Capital One. Media Matters also published a list of other advertisers on its website.

Carusone urged the companies to ‘listen to their customers’ and ‘consider suspending their relationship with Fox News until the network makes meaningful changes to curb its propagandistic narratives that intentionally spread disinformation and incentivize violence.’”

These accusations are typical for “the swamp.” They charge others with doing exactly what they are guilty of doing in an effort to deflect attention from themselves and shut down and silence anyone who disagrees with them or anyone who challenges their liberal narrative.

In a statement to CNN, Marianne Gambelli, the president of ad sales for Fox News and Fox Business, said “we cannot and will not allow voices to be censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts.”

“Media Matters continues to turn a blind eye to every television network but Fox News since it’s the only outlet that doesn’t subscribe to their extreme left-wing political agenda,” she said.

Fox News has quite a bit of experience fending off advertiser pressure campaigns like this, however

Sean Hannity has been outspoken in his opposition to boycotts of all kinds.

“EVERY American should see the danger of politically motivated efforts and boycotts to silence speech they disagree with,” he said.

Hang in there FOX! Without you we would be at the mercy of the “biased, liberal, fake news media,” and their uncontested “fake news” would sadly become just “the news” again, and our country would be worse off because of it.

Thank you, MrEricksonRules.

I’ve had my suspicions about CNN host Don Lemon’s stupidity…, and now he opened his mouth again and confirmed my suspicions!

CNN host Don Lemon (who is black by the way), during an on-air rant, declared that “white men” are the biggest terror threat to the United States, bemoaning that “there is no white-guy ban” and wondered aloud, “what do we do about that?”

Lemon went on to tell his CNN colleague, Chris Cuomo, “… we have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them.”

Fox News contributor Deroy Murdock said the racism coming from the left and mainstream media has become “breathtaking,” pointing to Lemon’s comment as the latest example.

“Lemon’s latest spurt of acid is a most unusual plea for national unity. ‘We have to stop demonizing people,’ and then, just two words later, a blast of divisiveness worthy of a machete,” Murdock said. “Painting with a roller rather than a mere broad brush, Lemon slams millions of his fellow Americans. He does not say they are wrong, mistaken, or misinformed. Rather, that are a ‘terror threat.’”

Murdock continued: Even worse, Lemon advises, ‘We have to start doing something about them.’ I shudder at the thought of what Lemon has in mind.”

“The American Left, of which ‘objective journalist’ Lemon clearly is a leader, is good at only one thing, psychological projection. Rather than contend with their own flaws, they accuse others of bearing them. Lemon and his ilk accuse President Trump of being racist and divisive, which serves as incredibly thin cover for their own racist, divisive rhetoric. The only good news here is that the American people increasingly see past the Left’s psychological self-delusion and recognize these people as what they are… increasingly violent bigots,” Murdock said.

Fox News Senior Political Analyst Brit Hume added, “I could hardly believe he actually said that, but the video shows he certainly did. Remarkable.”

Donald Trump Jr. tweeted the video captioned, ‘Imagine the outrage if you changed ‘white men’ with any other [racial] demographic?”

I would like to remind “Mr.” Lemon that there are currently over 2 million people in prisons, jails, and detention centers in our country.

Nearly three-quarters of federal inmates, 71.4%, are either of African American or Latino descent. That’s 37.6% (Black) and 33.8% (Latino) respectively. The problem with this is that these two groups collectively only make up 21.3% of the entire American population!

White Americans make up 25% of the federal prison population but are 63.7% of the US population.

Perhaps “Mr.” Lemon should reconsider exactly what men are the biggest “threats,” what men should be “banned,” and what men need something done about them.

Fake News Here! Fake News here! Get Your Fake News here!

The “biased, liberal, fake news media” just can’t help themselves. Their “spin” on EVERY issue is so negative towards our President, and it is so painfully obvious.

Their coordinated propaganda disguised as “news” isn’t fooling anybody anymore, except the few mindless liberals that may stumble across their channel and can’t see the truth, or those who don’t want to see the truth, and are complicit in the “fake news” narrative.

As I have pointed out before, well over 98% of Americans don’t pay attention to any news, much less “fake news,” but it does get annoying and, on principle alone, it should not be allowed to go unchallenged.

Let’s define and “dig in” to “fake news” a little bit, however, before we continue.

First of all, “fake news” is nothing new. There are references to “fake news” in newspapers and political cartoons dating back to the late 1800’s.

Wikipedia (a free on-line encyclopedia) says that, “‘Fake news’ is a type of “yellow journalism” (journalism that is based upon sensationalism and crude exaggeration) or propaganda that consists of deliberate disinformation, or hoaxes, spread via traditional print and broadcast news media or online social media.”

“The term is also, at times, used to cast doubt upon legitimate news from an opposing political standpoint [in most cases from the liberal standpoint], a tactic known as ‘the lying press.’ The false information is then often reverberated as misinformation in social media, but occasionally [actually much more often than occasionally] finds its way to the mainstream media as well. Fake news is written and published with the intent to mislead in order to damage an agency, entity, or person, and/or gain financially or politically, often using sensationalist, dishonest, or outright fabricated headlines…”

“During and after his presidential campaign and election, Donald Trump popularized the term “fake news” when he used it to describe the negative press coverage of himself. In part, as a result of Trump’s use of the term, the term has come under increasing criticism, and in October 2018 the British government decided that it will no longer use the term because it is ‘a poorly-defined and misleading term that conflates a variety of false information, from genuine error through to foreign interference in democratic processes.’”

Chalk one up for the “fake news” in Britain! The “fake newsers” there managed to have the term “fake news” taken out of their lexicon. Somewhat similarly to how Barack Obama took the term “radical Islamic terrorists,” or ISIS (preferring ISIL) out of his and the preferred liberal vocabulary.

We also have to acknowledge that there is a whole other aspect to “fake news,” which is “fake news” by omission.

This is the practice of “looking the other way,” or disregarding news or events that do not go along with the “biased, liberal, fake news media’s” intended storyline.

You have to give these propagandists some credit. They never give up in their efforts to control the message.

That is why “We the People” can never go back to the days when we grew complacent and allowed them to get away with it.

It’s so transparent, and almost comical, how the “biased, liberal, fake news media” tips its collusion with one another…, and the democrat party, of course.

They do this by their use of any number of liberally approved “buzzwords,” which get bantered around, all on cue. For example:

“Gravitas” – I’m calling this “mother of all buzzwords.” This one was used so shamelessly, and unendingly, to describe George W. Bush’s apparent lack of experience, or knowledge to become president, as opposed to his opponent, then Vice-President Al Gore.

“Undocumented immigrants” – This phrase is the left’s attempt to make “illegal immigrants” sound better, more politically correct and more acceptable.

“Disenfranchised” – This is an interesting one. This buzzword can be put to use in many instances. It is used to describe people who are unable to take advantage of an opportunity, benefit or anything, for any number of reasons.

“Microaggressions” – This is a relatively new buzzword. Brandan Kirby, of the Polizette section, on the “LifeZette Life. Explained.” Website, says, “This sounded liked a joke when it came into popular usage a few years ago. But it is anything but funny. Originally attributed to psychiatrist and Harvard University professor Chester Pierce in 1970 to describe insults against African-Americans, the term has been expanded in recent years to apply to virtually every aggrieved social group. These “microaggressions” are any little comment that could even remotely be perceived by someone as offensive somehow. For example: By saying, “America is a melting pot,” you may make an immigrant or immigrants feel pressured to assimilate. Another example comes from one our esteemed universities, and their “Guidance on the Equal Forum” website at the University of North Carolina, which advised that telling a woman “I love your shoes” constituted a microaggression. The goal of promoting the concept of “microaggressions” is apparently to paralyze speech in general, and provide anyone the chance to be offended by anything!

“Universal” – The word “universal” applied to or added to another word or phrase implies socialism, something being “socialized,” or pertaining to socialist practices.

“Dog whistle” – This a relatively new buzzword as well, but one that has definitely been making the rounds as of late. Again, according to Brandan Kirby, of the Polizette section, on the “LifeZette Life. Explained” website, “This refers to seemingly neutral words that actually are “super-secret” coded messages to racists and other contemptible people [according to liberals, of course].”

“[Just as only dogs can hear a dog whistle] The only people who seem to be able to decode [or hear] these messages, though, are racists, liberal pundits, and left-wing activists!”

For example, the words “law and order” are “code” for taking away the rights of blacks, say those on the Left.

It’s a strange and twisted world we live in ladies and gentlemen.

We can see here again, the goal of promoting the concept of “dog whistles” is apparently to paralyze speech in general, and provide anyone the chance to be offended by or accused of anything!

President Donald Trump, to his credit, routinely calls out the “fake news media” at all of his political rallies, during impromptu press conferences, and during a recent interview with Laura Ingraham of Fox News.

“When talking about how he has labeled the media and press as an enemy of the people, he told Ingraham, ‘You have news out there that is so fake’ and added that he has a lot of supporters that know the media is lying. ‘I watched Meet the Press this weekend, everything was so falsely put,’ he said.”

The President also recently tweeted:

“There is great anger in our Country caused in part by inaccurate, and even fraudulent, reporting of the news. The Fake News Media, the true Enemy of the People, must stop the open & obvious hostility & report the news accurately & fairly. That will do much to put out the flame of Anger and Outrage and we will then be able to bring all sides together in Peace and Harmony. Fake News Must End!” – (@realDonaldTrump)

“The Fake News is doing everything in their power to blame Republicans, Conservatives and me for the division and hatred that has been going on for so long in our Country. Actually, it is their Fake & Dishonest reporting which is causing problems far greater than they understand!” – (@realDonaldTrump)

Chuck Todd, the moderator for the show “Meet the Press,” responded to The President, in a tweet:

“If you actually believe media is the problem then the last thing one should do is respond with your own hate and anger… Try leading; try setting an example; Try living by the mantra “two wrongs don’t make a right.” But then that would mean cutting back on stoking the division.” – @chucktodd)

So, let me get this straight, Chuck. If we believe “the media” is the problem, we should just ignore it?

And “two wrongs don’t make a right” unless the “biased, liberal, fake news media” are the ones responding to President Trump, and not vice versa.

Also remember that Barack Obama routinely attacked Fox News and conservative media without the “biased, liberal, fake news media” ever making as much as a peep about it.

And lastly, “stoking the division” in our country is your middle name Chuck. You along with the rest of the “biased, liberal, fake news media.”

Please remember that President Trump is not only the first president, but the first politician who has had the guts to stand up to the “biased, liberal, fake news media,” and call them out for what they are: anti-American hypocrites and card carrying members of “the swamp.”

There is no shortage of undeniable examples of “fake news” on virtually a daily basis. So denying “fake news” is just another example of “fake news.”

Stay thirsty my friends, but please don’t drink that liberal Kool-Aid!

Thank you, MrEricksonRules.

Where are your manners Jim Acosta? Who do you think you are?

Here are two of the “caravan” migrants who are suing President Trump and the US Government over their “rights!”

I guess you could say the 2018 Midterm Election was a “win-win” situation.

Midterm Election Day 2018 is finally here, and it’s time to vote!

It’s not “just” one vote. It’s MY one vote!

You know the old saying: “If you can’t beat ‘em, silence ‘em!”

I’ve had my suspicions about CNN host Don Lemon’s stupidity…, and now he opened his mouth again and confirmed my suspicions!

Fake News Here! Fake News here! Get Your Fake News here!
