STICKY POST Since we’re between elections, and other distractions have been largely shoved aside, it’s a great time to rebuild this site. Competing plans are being analysed, and through the rest of spring and into summer, a new plan will be chosen and work will begin. Meantime, there’s lots of articles to catch up on […]

Possible new evidence emerges for FBI probe into Russia/Trump election hacking thingydingy

Seems they’re trying to hack into Republican-related websites now in yet another “Nixonian” move — “they” being Donald Trump and the Ruskies of course, as if I had to tell you. Not to make light of a serious situation, but yeah let’s: Background: A new website called NewRepublicanParty.org was established recently. It’s only at the concept […]

Hey boys and girls! I’ve done this before but it hasn’t ceased to amaze me yet. Which I think is a good thing. First question in a survey I did this week: By Joel Johannesen Letter to the Editor.

Alt-right email. Alt-answered.

Joel Johannesen on TwitterFollow Joel Johannesen on Twitter

Mail delivered to me in a fashion at odds with the quaint traditional postal mail methods of yore. And then answered in a similar alternate fashion. Hi Joseph, I think what the “alt-right” folks intended to mean was “an alternative to the traditional, or ‘establishment,’ or commonly-known version of the right,” rather than anything like […]

Hoist by their own retard

Joel Johannesen on TwitterFollow Joel Johannesen on Twitter

New York Times op-ed headline:  “Climate Progress, With or Without Trump.” So the Trump administration is powerless to stop the huge, fast and unstoppable green envirotrain? And what’s this: Trump can’t retard the movement — the people — or the free market — from acting in their own best interests? Yeah, well, that’s what conservatives have […]

“News” media can’t figure out the news. Even the fake news.

Joel Johannesen on TwitterFollow Joel Johannesen on Twitter

Aside from the problem that most “news” media outlets present hardly any actual news, and instead shove almost entirely left-wing, progressive, liberal, socialist, or downright communist opinion in your face every day (or fake news), my post today exemplifies another big part of the problem with the “news” media. By the way I don’t do this to […]

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow beclowns herself

By on Wednesday March 15, 2017 at 8:58 am
Joel Johannesen on TwitterFollow Joel Johannesen on Twitter

It takes a special kind of talent to set yourself up for such failure in quite such an inglorious way as the ubersmug far-leftist Rachel Maddow did last night. Gleefully (and the “gleefully” part is half of what it is that makes her so grating) hoping to discredit and delegitimize President Trump by the public revelation […]

Ivanka Trump fashion business booming after Nordstrom ban

I know what you’re thinking, but it is merely a coincidence that ever since our ad for the Ivanka Trump fashion line was put up on our site, her sales skyrocketed. Ivanka Trump clothing line reports record sales Ivanka Trump’s eponymous women’s fashion line is reporting record sales figures despite calls for a boycott and […]

That Dakota Access Pipeline protest? Yeah. What a load of crap. Literally.

If you were waiting for a good fact-based synopsis of that Dakota Access Pipeline protest, now that’s it’s being Trumped, Katie Kieffer writes it today. But it comes with a warning: this ain’t over. “Like the anti-Trump Women’s March, the DAPL protest was hardly organic,” Katie Kieffer writes. Organic? Ironically, nothing the left and far […]

Media botches its job with phony anti-Trump headline

I could do this all day long. This and only this. And I still wouldn’t have time to do them all. But here’s the latest today: Drudge corrects the record — actually corrected it a long time ago. Globe & Mail doesn’t care. They leave their headline in place. @ericContrarian put it succinctly: As did […]

The DNC is *NOT* unhinged, if we understand correctly.

By on Friday February 17, 2017 at 7:51 am
Joel Johannesen on TwitterFollow Joel Johannesen on Twitter

CNN’s Jake Tapper “reported” yesterday that Trump’s press conference was “unhinged.” This is an email to me today from the Democrats, which is obviously very, very important, since it’s “re: the biggest political scandal in American history.”  Presumably it’s even bigger than last week’s “biggest scandal in American history.”  Golly!  Just wait until Ivanka Trump wears an […]

Media reporting: easy to spot the abject dishonesty with comparisons

By on Wednesday February 8, 2017 at 9:00 am
Joel Johannesen on TwitterFollow Joel Johannesen on Twitter

There’s honest reporting and there’s dishonest reporting. Today, once again, the dishonesty is obvious to anyone who actually knows the facts, like me. Here’s honest reporting from the Wall Street Journal on the appeal before the (very liberal) 9th Circuit Court regarding the Trump administration’s temporary immigration restrictions from seven countries, in which the judges […]

I posted this at a Canadian site, but being about Trump and the media (the anti-trump), it holds up well here too.  I don’t need to tell Global News how to do their job… no wait that’s hilarious. Of course I do. Somebody does. I think we “get” what their opinion is. here’s mine; when you […]
