Ever since Donald Trump’s historic escalator ride into history as a presidential candidate, the mainstream media has been overwhelmingly dismissive of Trump’s achievements and spent 2+ years peddling a “fake news” story of Trump-Russia collusion. The media appearing to be little more than the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. Even when sworn testimony and official document disclosures revealed that the collusion story was a product of the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, and a “worse-than-Watergate” conspiracy within the highest ranks of the Obama Administration.
When the Russia collusion story fell apart in the disinfecting sunlight, the media ignored the findings and pivoted to charges of racism. Primarily to protect their Black and Hispanic base that saw record employment gains under the Trump Administration and that Donald Trump did the unspeakable – calling out Democrats for failing to improve their own districts while pursuing corrupt and lucrative careers as Washington swamp rats while real rats infested their district.
The New York Times has now revealed a document instructing its personnel to view everything through a racial lens and to continue their attack on Trump with aggressive reporting. Apparently, truth and objectivity have left the building.
Ignoring that ordinary Americans are tired of all of the racial rhetoric that started with the Obama Administration, the New York Times and their media followers continue stoking the flames of racism, with the New York Times has embarked on what they call their “1619” project.
The New York Times Magazine's new 1619 Project is a special edition that reframes American history around one date: August 1619, when the first slave ship arrived on America's shores. "The Fourth of July in 1776 is regarded by most Americans as the country's birthday," says an introduction on the Times' website. "But what if we were to tell you that the country's true birth date, the moment that its defining contradictions first came into the world, was in late August 1619?" The project, released online Wednesday and in print on Sunday, outlines its thesis: "No aspect of the country that would be formed here has been untouched by the years of slavery that followed." <Source>
It is amazing that the New York Times continues lecturing Americans on racism and antisemitism while employing a clearly anti-Semitic political editor, Tom Wright-Piersanti, whose tweets targeted Jews, Asians, Indians, and other minority groups. The height of hypocrisy, right up there with the "Gray Lady" trying to relitigate our founding documents.
When racism did not seem to be enough, it appears that the progressive mainstream media turned to an attempt to push America into a recession, real or imaginary – all the while proclaiming they did not want to hurt America or Americans…

Democrats see opening on economy, resist cheering recession
PROLE, Iowa (AP) — Campaigning under the stifling August sun, Joe Biden assailed President Donald Trump’s trade war with China, accusing him of squandering a strong economy and putting Americans’ financial security at risk.
But he was quick to add that he was not hoping for the worst. “I never wish for a recession. Period,” the former vice president and current Democratic presidential candidate told reporters in Prole, Iowa.
Biden’s comments highlight the delicate balance for Democrats as the U.S. economy flashes recession warning signs. In town halls and speeches across the country this week, candidates leveled blame on Trump, arguing that his aggressive and unpredictable tariff policies were prompting gloomy economic forecasts. Yet they also strained to avoid the appearance of cheering for a downturn that would inflict financial pain on millions of Americans, but potentially help their party’s political fortunes in 2020.
For more than two years, the combination of solid growth, low unemployment, and a rising stock market has been a bulwark for Trump, helping him maintain the support of many independents and moderate Republicans who are turned off by his incendiary statements and pugnacious personality. According to a new Associated Press-NORC poll, a higher percentage of Americans approve of Trump’s handling of the economy than his overall job performance. <Source> |
The important stories in the news portray President Trump as a thoughtless, reckless narcissist who has sparked an unnecessary trade war with China. What they don’t say is that China has engaged in demonstrable theft of military secrets and commercial trade secrets which they employed to improve their military and economy. China has subsidized industries to dump cheap products into the United States, causing the loss of entire industries and thousands of jobs. China is manipulating its currency to ensure that Americans turn to China for trade, while simultaneously restricting American companies from Chinese market that exceed the size of the American marketplace. Or that China continues its hostile actions in the disputed areas of the South China Sea with the goal of crippling international shipping. Yes, we find one man battling the evil empire on his own, even though some close associates in his administration continue to leak sensitive and classified negative information to the media.
While Wall Street Cheers …
It is no secret that the Wall Street Wizards thrive on chaos and confusion to drive their brokerage enterprises. Without volatility, sparked by real or imaginary stories, nobody earns trading profits. And the idea of a trade war is an excellent motivator for foreign capital to seek the safety and security of their assets in the United States.

Recession Warnings Music to the Ears of Democrats It's the dreaded "inverted Treasury yields," and Chicken Littles in the financial industry are all of a sudden issuing dire warnings of a coming recession. What in God's name is an "inverted Treasury yield"?
Yeah, what he said. I wouldn't know an inverted Treasury yield from a kangaroo -- which makes me economically smarter than just about every liberal in the country. But I know crapola when I hear it. After a big sell-off by the amateurs -- allowing the pros to make an absolute killing in the market -- stocks are stabilizing because ordinary people are still spending like mad. Recessions are as much about perception as they are about the numbers. If analysts were trying to start a panic with their "inverted Treasury yields," they're going to have to do better than that. Americans are apparently ignoring them as well, as they continue to spend and spend. <Source> |
About those indicators and Federal Reserve machinations…
You hear about a yield curve inversion, but few explain that the infamous recession signal has failed about one in three times and that this time the inversion appears to be caused by falling long-term rates, not rising short-term rates.
You hear about Donald Trump fighting with the Federal Reserve, portrayed in the media as an oracle of financial wisdom. Considering the damage the Federal Reserve has done to the American economy time-and-time again with their mismanagement of our economy; one should take such announcements with a grain of salt. Consider the real causes of a recession: one, significantly higher interest rates (which does not appear to be an issue at this time); two, a major increase in energy prices which previously were caused by geopolitical turmoil (we are now energy independent); and three, the idiocy of the Federal Reserve (which is still possible).
Even now, the Federal Reserve, which is a private corporation and not a government agency, is considering how to legally manipulate our economy through something known as “Yield Curve Control.” Basically, instead of reducing short-term rates to zero, the Federal Reserve would target select longer-term rates and purchase those long-term securities to keep them from rising above an arbitrary target set by the Fed. Can you say “Quantitative Easing” in sheep’s clothing? Essentially while quantitative easing saw the Fed buying specific dollar amounts of securities, under yield curve control, the Fed would be targeting yield rates. The scheme is not without risk, and given the number of mistakes the Fed has made in the past, one cannot discount the idiocy of the Fed.
The craziness of the market…
Has anyone considered that most tech stock valuations are unsupported by actual profits and seem to exist on valuations produced by the “greater fool” theory where the enterprise is valued at the last price of an investment round? Has anyone considered that billions of dollars evaporate from market capitalizations of legitimate companies when Amazon floats a press release about partnering with Warren Buffett in healthcare or purchases a pharmacy operation? Perception drives the market.
So why should we not consider that the progressive media has the power and the motivation to cause marketplace disruptions to aid and abet the socialist agenda of the progressive socialist democrats?
Bottom line…
It is time that Americans start evaluating what the progressive mainstream media is publishing and broadcasting. It is time that Americans begin evaluating the actions, not the rhetoric, of progressive socialist democrat politicians. And, it is time that Americans start punishing those who have done so much damage to America. Either at the ballot box or in the marketplace, Americans must be mindful that our enemies, both foreign and domestic, walk among us – pretending to like us until they plunge the knife into our exposed backs.
Remember, they are not reporting the news, they are pursuing their toxic agenda.
We are so screwed.
