NOT ONLY DOES AMERICA HAVE TO DEAL WITH ‘AGENDA JOURNALISM,’ BUT THE GRAND DELUSION OF THE PROGRESSIVE LEFT!
NOT ONLY DOES AMERICA HAVE TO DEAL WITH ‘AGENDA JOURNALISM,’ BUT THE GRAND DELUSION OF THE PROGRESSIVE LEFT!
Chuck-e was irrelevant when he was in New York, and apparently achieved his 'Peter Principle' status and shipped off to Washington DC, and the Senate, to continue his feckless record of leadership. The American people sent Trump to the oval office
to do his job, and Chuck-e took away his tools........for those on the progressive left who don't understand what I'm talking about , TRUMP'S CABINET NOMINEE'S! HELLO! ANYBODY HOME?

And the beat goes on, and on, and on, and now that Hillary
lost, the ‘Paid to Report’ Media doesn’t need to be used to get Hillary
elected, but instead using ‘Fake News’ to delegitimize Trump’s Presidency.
Don’t get me wrong, they’re still getting paid by the likes of George Soros and
other outsiders who are truly the ones effecting our elections, and not the
Russians, and as a result, ‘Agenda Journalism’ is slowly being discredited, becoming
irrelevant, and very close to becoming another animal that’s being put on the
endangered species list!
Part of my parent’s dynamic duo in the morning, especially
on Sunday morning, was coffee, and getting the NY Times, and because we lived
in Bergen County New Jersey, the Sunday Record! As a 12-year-old, I had my
afternoon paper route after school to make a couple extra bucks, and back then
making $10 was a lot of money, and that was for a week!
That was in 1964, and the same year Edward R. Murrow warned
us that news divisions decided that the news has to make money, has to get
ratings, and no longer news—but entertainment. So, if people are bothered by
the fact that we seem to be having entertainment as news, it’s because the news
divisions decided that money and ratings were more important than reporting.”
For 50 plus years now we’ve been led down that
‘transformational’ yellow brick road, but it never really was exposed until it
reared its ugly head through Obama’s Socialist dream that he had for America!
We dodged that continuation Hillary bullet after America’s Silent Majority came
out of
their caves to show us the errors of our ‘Not paying attention’ lives of liberty and freedom that were the backbone of our existence, and the reason why America became that ‘Shining city on a Hill’ for the world to look up to, strive to be like, and where they all wanted to be.
their caves to show us the errors of our ‘Not paying attention’ lives of liberty and freedom that were the backbone of our existence, and the reason why America became that ‘Shining city on a Hill’ for the world to look up to, strive to be like, and where they all wanted to be.
Now when it came to ‘where they all wanted to be,’ that was
easy, and when Obama, with the help of Eric Holder, dismantled and didn’t
enforce our immigration laws to open the borders, import and support unvetted
illegal immigrants and refugees at the cost to the American taxpayers! Our
elected officials on both sides of the aisle were in bed with each other and
hid from the American people their treasonous globalist path without getting
the ‘will’ of the American people’s permission first! At that point, and
knowing that hindsight is 20/20, we are in deep doo-doo!
SUNDAY MORNING ‘TALK SHOWS’
The polls got it wrong when predicting a landslide for
Hillary, and claim respectable pollsters made the call, but I believe it more
to be a psychological subliminal steering
messaging of being part of a winning team mentality, because everybody
wants to be a member of a winning team, and using subliminal steering on who to
vote for to feel part of that winning team!
When it comes to ‘Agenda Journalism’ it’s no longer become
about the policies of Trump and the mandate of the American people, but today’s
media continuing to fight to stay relevant in a venue where they been forced to
compete with the supermarket tabloids! There is no room in an America that is
already full of burgeoning anti- American tit for tat, he said she said, or
half-truths and innuendos for a once relied upon ‘Cry Wolf’ ‘Agenda Journalist’s’
‘15 minute of fame’ driven reporting!
If the ‘Agenda Journalists’ didn’t notice there’s a new
sheriff in town, and he’s an outsider non-politician billionaire who doesn’t
have time to shoot the shit, but only do what he does best, and that’s work
hard and live up to the promises he made America! Trump who, along with his
cabinet nominees, have realized the America Dream and living it, and for
someone like Schumer, Pelosi, McConnell, and the long gone from America’s
political history except for is anti-filibustering nuclear option contribution,
Harry Reid, have always been career politicians. These
head up their ass
politicians have never worked in the private sector, never hired, fired, or had
to balance the books or cut back to financially survive and navigate through
the maze of regulations and tax burden laced government oversight! These same
Politicians who never worked a day in their lives outside those ‘political
correct’ very high ‘Walls’ don’t seem to have the time to walk among the lower
48 states and the citizens that are represented in them! Trump knows, like his
cabinet nominees about the barriers that separate our elected official from the
reality of being an American citizen, and that’s because they have been rubbing
elbows and being accepted by those elites for decades. The problems with
government, until Trump and his make America great again battle cry, and first before any thing else, is their
own perceived world of reality, which has everything to do with their inability
to know what’s best for the American people, and how to create jobs.
We have ‘Agenda Journalists’ driving home one talking point
soundbite, and riding it until the truth catches up to it when their ‘Fake’
news item is exposed. Then we have to contend with the ‘heard’ of mimics
doubling down to get any scrap that will help extend their relevance and keeping
them carrying on until the next talking points soundbite comes along. My point
is illustrated in this clip when Chuck Todd drives home his only ‘talking point
soundbite’ about the purpose of bringing up the crowd size of the Trump’s
inauguration, while Kellyanne scores point after point of relative and
important facts, and I don’t mean ‘alternate facts’ that are being doubled down
on by the ‘Paid to Report’ Media!
America’s politicians need to make amends to our founding
fathers, our constitutional republic, the ‘Will’ of the American people, and to
our children and our children’s children for jeopardizing the future of this
exceptional country! ~~
THE GRAND DELUSION OF THE PROGRESSIVE LEFT!
I love two genres of music, classical and classic rock. One
of my favorite classic rock bands is the group Styx and one of my favorite
songs of theirs is “Grand Illusion”. However, in the case of what we have seen
post the 2016 presidential election through the inauguration of President
Donald Trump, it appears the progressive socialist left is operating under a
grand delusion.
In 2009, the progressive left embarked upon an ideological
agenda evidencing a serious delusion and disconnection with America. Instead of
focusing on two simple issues, economic
growth and national security, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and their acolytes engaged a direction for America that was not rooted in sound policy, but their interpretation of “fairness”.
growth and national security, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and their acolytes engaged a direction for America that was not rooted in sound policy, but their interpretation of “fairness”.
The first case of delusion was to try and make the American
people believe that Keynesian economic policy, tax and spend, was still viable.
First thing out of the gate was a massive $1 trillion stimulus package that was
centered upon what was termed “shovel ready jobs”. It was a matter of huge Embarrassment
when Obama sat on a stage with his economic council stating, “I guess shovel ready
was not exactly ready”. The fact that Obama did so with a laugh and smirk was a
slap in the face of the American taxpayer.
Obama in his eight years focused more on wealth
redistribution, you know, we all do better when we “spread the wealth around”. Furthermore,
Obama made the seminal statement which presented a window into the mindset of
the progressive left when he stated, “if you own a business, you didn’t build
that”. There could be no more disrespectful, delusional, assertion directed
towards the hard working American and their indomitable entrepreneurial spirit.
Obama and his disciples of economic disaster failed to grasp the concept that
economic growth emanates not from Washington DC, but rather from the policies
that unleash American investment, ingenuity, and innovation…along with
production and manufacturing.
Due to his far left intransigent ideology, Obama sought not
to get Americans back to work. His design was to expand the welfare nanny state
of government dependency. The result of this
delusion was our national debt going from $10.67T to $20T. We have exploded our food stamp and poverty rolls, and we have suffered the lowest workforce participation rate in some 40 years.
delusion was our national debt going from $10.67T to $20T. We have exploded our food stamp and poverty rolls, and we have suffered the lowest workforce participation rate in some 40 years.
Second, Obama and the left sought to use effective free
market policy to improve the healthcare situation in America. Instead, they
believed there was a mandate to do what they had always wanted, push a
government-driven healthcare system. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act a.k.a “Obamacare” was nothing more than a domestic wealth redistribution
scheme, with some twenty new taxes. It spanned to gamut from increases in
capital gains and dividends taxes to creation of an individual and employer
mandate tax along with medical device and taxes on health savings accounts.
Obama said that there would be on average $2500 of savings
and that you would be able to keep your doctor and insurance. The latter was
awarded by PolitiFact as the “Lie of the Year”, 2013, funny, the year after
Obama’s reelection…and he promised Vladimir Putin more flexibility. The
American people in October 2016 did not see savings, they saw massive increases
in their health insurance premiums, the result of the delusion of
redistribution of healthcare. Obamacare turned out to be nothing more than a
huge expansion of Medicaid. It proved unaffordable and did not
provide protection for patients, but a segment of people got something for free. A rational policy approach would have meant Obama and his team focused on the real issue, but they overreached. And as Nancy Pelosi said, “we have to pass the bill, in order to find out what was in it”, a true example of delusion.

And as Nancy Pelosi said, “we have to pass the bill, in order to find out what was in it”, a true example of delusion.
Third, Obama departed the White House trying to have us buy
into his delusion by stating that on his watch there had not been a terrorist
organization attack. He left still embracing the line that Ft. Hood was the
result of “workplace violence”, and he commuted the sentence of one who had
leaked over 700,000 classified documents – where some had died as a result of
HIS nefarious actions.
Obama and the left could never articulate that the
non-state, non-uniform unlawful enemy combatants we face on the 21st-century
battlefield are Islamic terrorists and jihadists. Obama was more interested in
freeing them under the delusion that their being detained in GITMO was an
impetus of their hate and a recruiting tool. Instances of Islamic terrorist
attacks on our soil were attributed to the lawful ownership of guns by
law-abiding Americans. And the left, aided by the complicit liberal progressive
media, tried to castigate those who understood this enemy as “Islamophobes” – a
moniker created by an Islamic organization with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood
and Hamas.
I could go on about other critical issues, like a lack of
focus on our border security leading to deaths of Americans like Kate Steinle.
The overarching issue is that we are watching the
progressive left continue to wrap themselves in their own delusion. This past
weekend there were marches focused on women’s rights. Where were those voices
when Christian and Yazidi girls were being
raped and sold as sex slaves by ISIS – that group Obama called the JV team, which was not Islamic. If this is about misogyny, where were those voices reference Bill Clinton regularly being welcomed as an “elder statesman” of the Democrat party?

More violence, threats, intimidation, rantings, protests,
denigrating, disparaging, and demeaning language from the left will not win
folks over to their cause. It will only further distance them from the America
that has rejected and repudiated them, the electoral losses of the past eight
years is evidence.
The delusion of the progressive left is that they are not
conducting a self-analysis or assessment. Their way did not advance economic
growth or national security. Albert Einstein said, “The definition of insanity
is to continue to do the same thing, and expect different results”. Einstein’s
definition certainly befits the grand delusion of the progressive left. ~~By

"I thought I would have the time and intended to continue on
with a part 2, and 3 of Trump’s inaugural address, but with the day to day
opportunities to delve into something new is more appealing to me…. So, TRUMP’S
WORDS MATTER, BUT NPR, LIKE MANY OTHER 'AGENDA JOURNALISTS,' ARE NOT ON THE
SAME PAGE (PART2) Will be short circuited, but here’s the article I was
counter pointing, and Please feel free to fill in your counter points on
your own."
SOME BACKGROUND ON NPR (NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO):
Nearly 30 years ago, during one of its periodic attempts to free itself from the federal dole—an arrangement dating back to NPR’s inception during the Great Society—NPR had nearly gone bankrupt. Its member stations had bailed it out, but the price they exacted was high: from the beginning, those stations—a few large, most small or infinitesimal—had always effectively
controlled the NPR board, which controls NPR. But now they got their money directly from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting rather than through NPR, giving them even more leverage. Only these 268 member stations can change the current structure, and they aren’t likely to vote to diminish their own power anytime soon. So what has become one of the most powerful media entities in the world isn’t run by its own journalists, or by journalists at all, but by station managers from places like Portland, Oregon; Charlotte, North Carolina; Concord, New Hampshire; and Carbondale, Illinois. Those stations are in turn largely funded by political appointees at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, an entity which exists only to dole out federal dollars. It’s supposed to be a firewall against political interference, but concerned for its own survival—if those federal dollars disappear, it does, too—it’s become more of a levee, prone to crumble when the slightest trickle of right-wing criticism starts flowing its way.

Though NPR is surprisingly unable (or unwilling) to give a
precise number, the best guess is that roughly 10 percent of NPR’s revenue
comes—either directly or indirectly—from the Feds. The remainder arrives
courtesy of—well, every NPR listener knows
that voice, sometimes chipper, sometimes officious, shoe-horned into every idle moment of the broadcast day: “Support from NPR comes from . . . ,” followed by a litany of private donors, foundations, corporations, and family trusts. But local stations depend on the C.P.B.–mostly for 10 to 15 percent, but in some instances for as much as 60 percent, of their budgets.
