The Trump Guy Sincerely Loves The Common American

America, Barack Obama, Britain, Donald Trump, Journalism, Media

Donald Trump draws half the town to a BILOXI, Miss rally. The malfunctioning media, having abnegated their mandate to report the news, harp on why ISIS prefers Hillary (by which, I imagine they mean to suggest Hillary should be president). Here’s the WaPo lead:

“Forty-five minutes into his first speech of 2016, Donald Trump finally talked about the video. …”

What sophisticates (and such rotten journalists).

The role of media is to report the news, not advance an angle, or make consumers of news products “think,” as one CNN bimbo once put it. “Make the viewers think” was her incomplete sentence. What she—Brooke Baldwin or fellow fem Anderson Cooper—meant to say is, “Make the viewer think … the way I do.”

From these mass, under-reported rallies it emerges, moreover, that The Trump guy sincerely loves the Common American. Unlike Obama, who described small-town Americans, derisively, as clinging to their guns, God and other bigotries. Or Britain’s Gordon Brown, who famously called a perfectly decent English biddy “horrible,” “old woman,” and “bigoted.” (Poor Mrs. Gillian Duffy had been trusting enough to air her perfectly proper worries over deficits and immigration to the pompous, two-faced ponce, Brown.)

Trump insults The Powers that be; never the common man. That’s a good personality trait. (Donald J. Trump ought to be, however, very careful on these rallies. The establishment will do anything to maintain its privileged position.)

‘Multiethnic’ And ‘Multilingual’ Early America? Give Me A Break!

America, Britain, English, Europe, Multiculturalism

When leftists (centrists, whatever) dissemble or fib about America having always been multilingual and multiculturalism, they usually point to the thirteen colonies that were founded by good old Englishmen and women, speaking different English dialects, later to be joined by … white Christians from Germany, Holland, Sweden, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, who adopted English as lingua franca. This so-called diversity saw early Americans debate publicly and come to a broad agreement on some highly complex, abstract matters of political philosophy. They had to be pretty tight to do that. Early Americans were not multiethnic or multilignual in today’s way.

The mantra that elicited the comment above is the allusion to America as “a society that is and always has been multiethnic and polyglot,” culled from David Frum’s exposition: “The Great Republican Revolt: The GOP planned a dynastic restoration in 2016. Instead, it triggered an internal class war. Can the party reconcile the demands of its donors with the interests of its rank and file?”

Immigration Outsourced To Everyone But The People

America, Democracy, Europe, IMMIGRATION, Politics

“.. in a democracy, leaders who dismiss and denigrate widespread concerns soon find themselves ex-leaders. Everywhere in the Western world there is a fast-growing constituency for new kinds of immigration and refugee policies. If anything is shameful, it is the shabby, thoughtless, and arrogant elite consensus that has to date denied that constituency a responsible political leadership. But that too is changing, yielding to heavy evidence and hard experience.”—David Frum, “America’s Immigration Challenge” (Dec 11, 2015)

The only cliche in this article by fellow Canadian David Frum is “challenge” in the title. An excellent expose indeed.
