Left Libertarian Tries Hard To Shed Light on Fake News, But Sheds Only Darkness

Donald Trump, IMMIGRATION, Journalism, libertarianism, Media

On the Trump-Acosta relationship, Reason magazine’s Katherine Mangu Ward writes the usual light, breezy commentary, lacking in gravitas, typical of left-libertarians.

Her eyes are wide shut in wonderment: Fake News Media? What? Where? What’s that?

Via the NYTimes, naturally

Even after two years of this administration, it is alarming to hear a president refer to the press as “the enemy of the people” and to consistently attack and undermine the media as it tries to hold him to account. It’s especially jarring when he singles out individual reporters for criticism.

No wonder Ms. Mangu-Ward got my award for the stupidest statement made to Saint Tucker Carlson, last year, in favor of a border-less America.

She told Tucker that, “If we had a billion people in America, America would be unstoppable. That would be amazing.”
There’s a method to the open-border religion, preached, invariably, from the alternate universe of the TV studio or creature comforts of a stately home.

Fabulous FLOTUS Floats Like A Butterfly AND Stings Like A Bee

Conflict, Donald Trump, Etiquette, Family

Hooray. First Lady Melania Trump shows her political chops. FLOTUS floats like a butterfly, and stings like a bee, to parrot Muhammad Ali.

Melania got angry at Mira Ricardel—some rude, disruptive underling, also a top national security official—and took action:

The first lady’s anger stemmed from a dust-up between Ricardel and the East Wing over an October trip to Africa, when Ricardel allegedly threatened to undermine the trip after learning she didn’t have a seat on the plane. Melania Trump’s staff also came to suspect that Ricardel was responsible for unflattering stories about the first lady, people familiar with the matter said.

Next, perhaps Melania will fire Jared and Ivanka for us Deplorables?

The Koch’s Agenda.

UPDATES: Simple Guide To Future Trump Cabinet Picks. Very Simple.

I liked the ice princess, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, whom Trump is about to remove, or so the rumor goes.

Nielsen talked tough (very tough) and smart, and has a cool temperament and looks to match. In her favor, too: Nielsen had been brought into the Trump Administration by a fine man, retired United States Marine Corps Gen. John Kelly, now White House Chief of Staff.

Here goes: If the liberal, First-Couple-in-waiting, Ivanka and Jared Kushner, are behind or favor a future appointment, it’s bad. The two certainly have been gunning for White House Chief of Staff Kelly for a long time, as I warned on February 15, 2018.

UPDATES:

“Sessions was the most important member of Trump’s cabinet.”

“Heather Mac Donald said she has ‘no confidence’ that the president will stop being advised by his daughter, Ivanka Trump, on the issue of immigration.” Been saying it all along. Ivanka is poison.

“Sessions was the only member of the Trump administration that was ‘absolutely staunch in speaking up for the right of Americans to determine what the character of their country should be.’”

“There’s no one left with any understanding ‘how mass, unchecked, illegal immigration is hurting the working class of this country and transforming our culture possibly beyond recall.’ Heather Mac Donald.”

‘Just Sit Down’: POTUS Stands Up For Civility, Firmly Accosts Out-of-Control Jim Acosta

Democrats, Donald Trump, Etiquette, Journalism

“CNN should be ashamed of itself having you working for them,” Trump said. “You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn’t be working for CNN.”

Trump added that the way [Jim] Acosta had treated Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was “awful.”

The president then moved to address the next questioner

Trump had acted as magnificently before.

I had previously commented on “Trump’s firm, forthright, masterful control” in similar situations, observing that when Trump takes control of the media scrum, he is doing something much more fundamental.

As I pointed out in “The Trump Revolution: The Donald’s Creative destruction Deconstructed,” and before it:

As this writer sees it, Trump was doing something much more modest and more valuable.

Common rules of procedure are as traditionally Anglo-American as they come. Instinctively did an ethnic agitator seek to sack a common American custom. As reflexively, Donald Trump moved to restore a timeless, civilizing practice.
