Media continues to be out of touch with reality in its war with Trump

Media Reaction To Yamiche Alcindor Dustup With Trump Shows Why Their Approval Ratings Are Low


Her peers rushed to defend her, but Alcindor has a track record of partisan commentary and unnecessarily hostile and silly questions.


They actually thought they came out ahead in the confrontation where Trump caught them misreporting his statements?  They thought the miscreant reporters were heroes when they were exposed as biased and attempting to mislead their readers about what the President actually said.

Their game is to twist what he actually says into something opposite of its meanings in an attempt to get voters to reject him.  That is not journalism.  It is practicing the politics of fraud.  When you shorten a quote to make it have the opposite meaning of what was intended that is a fraud.  It is much worse than a childish game of a professional clique of Trump haters.

If they were not so blinded by their biases they would understand why Trump's press briefings are popular.  It is not their silly questions but it is his response attacking their questions that people cheer.  Their defense of the reporters makes people respect the media even less if that is possible.  They come across as unprofessional.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
