The New York Slimes Dismisses Trump’s Role In Ford’s Decision To Stay

Business, Donald Trump, Economy

The New York Slimes is dismissing Donald Trump’s role in Ford’s decision to “keep an automaking plant in Kentucky.” It’s par for the course.

Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter shortly after 9 p.m. that Ford’s chairman, William Clay Ford Jr., had just told him that Ford “will be keeping the Lincoln plant in Kentucky — no Mexico.”
Minutes later, Mr. Trump wrote in a second post: “I worked hard with Bill Ford to keep the Lincoln plant in Kentucky. I owed it to the great State of Kentucky for their confidence in me!” Mr. Trump won 62.5 percent of the state’s popular vote in the presidential election.
During the campaign, he repeatedly criticized Ford for moving production to Mexico, and he threatened to impose a 35 percent tariff on vehicles made there.

At play, I suspect, is the phenomenon I described in “Trump’s Not Yet President, But Nieto Is Saying, ‘Si Se Puede’”:

“… a show of unparalleled strength and patriotism—Mr. Trump’s—extinguished a bad habit [Ford’s]. The biblical proverb (generously paraphrased) worked: Act like a fearless lion before an adversary, and the adversary will retreat.”

The force of Trump, as I ventured in The Trump Revolution, is changing reality on the ground.

PC Police Kills Humor; But Not For Long

“I could just put on some bronzer, get on a dingy boat and show-up in Sicily”: So says broadcaster Lauren Southern (at 6:12 minutes) about the ease of immigration if you’re … brown and illegals.

“No, no, no, no. We’re not saying things like that on my program,” recoils the self-righteous, Sky News anchor at Southern’s humorous reductio ad absurdum.

My guess is that our sanctimonious, Sky libtard will be out of a job sometime in the future. Mass media will be finding out who their audience would rather watch and hear. My money’s on Southern (as it was on President-elect Trump all along.)

UPDATE III (1/9): No Sanctuary (TV) Station Or Safe Space From Megyn Kelly

There’s no TV station or program that provides sanctuary or a safe space from Megyn Kelly. Today the Fox News celebrity anchor shared her Dr. Phil philosophy on Tucker Carlson’s 4-day-old show. I remember the “self-help bromide” Kelly disgorged because she’s mouthed it before. “Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.” (Smiles smugly after she says this trite thing, as though she’s “gifted” the world with something special. Oh yes, she has: herself.)

Garry Kasparov is also a nuisance, a neoconservative activist, the equivalent of Ahmed Chalabi.

No. Not Nikki Haley, John Bolton & Mitt Romney:

Yes to Kris Kobach, who’s being smeared by media (so he’s probably a shoo-in). It’s Jeff Sessions’ turn:

Yes to Jim Webb:

Listen to Ron Paul:

Riots are so Third World:

Steve Bannon defenders should say to his detractors,’Screw you’
especially to Harry Reed:

Blacklash is fine, but not ‘Whitelash’:

Media has an about-face about bias… scarp that.

Ted Cruz was recommended in my book, back in June 29:

Will the neocon rats be allowed to jump back on the ship?

Since we no longer have a federal scheme, let’s just WIN (my book’s argument).
