One comment on the previous entry. The great state of Illinois sealed its doom yesterday when the House overrode a Governor’s veto to increase taxes.
One of three Republicans who defected to pass the override had this comment:
“If we don’t pass this, it’s not just a certainty of a bond downgrade; we’re also out of money,” said Andersson, of Geneva. “State employees will be laid off, (there will be) discreditation of our universities. We go into free fall. It’s either this or a financial meltdown.” Translation: we just bought a year or two and this will happen anyway. I’ll be gone by then, hired by whoever promised me a job if I voted against it.
The exodus of taxpayers and business will pick up and the date the state faces default on all loans will come sooner. The Democrats have destroyed the fifth largest state in the union. This could not have happened without total support from the majority of media outlets in the state. They never saw a teacher’s strike they didn’t want settled by pay raises or any other public protest for more money. They are totally complicit in this debacle. When Trump goes after them media it’s important that he gets it fixed. They are trying to do the same thing to the country. Which brings me to the subject.
It’s one thing to have a national media that produces what Trump calls Fake News. But, there’s something even worse afoot than fake news. I dub it insulting news. That’s when the position taken by the media is so ignorant that it insults your intelligence and the collective intelligence of the universe of readers, viewers, or listeners. Here’s a classic example.
‘Putin will eat President Trump’s lunch’: Experts weigh in on how Trump should approach Putin
President Donald Trump is set to meet Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G-20 summit in Hamburg, Germany — a full, bilateral sit-down with high stakes.
The meeting will take place amid crumbling U.S.-Russia relations, and as the president weathers multiple congressional and FBI investigations into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and whether the Trump campaign played a possible role in it.
White House aides are aware of the high-stakes nature of the meeting, which comes after former presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama were unable to cultivate stronger ties with Russia.
Issues on the table for discussion include Russia’s military aggression in Ukraine, Russia’s U.S. election meddling, continued nuclear weapons threats from North Korea, the ongoing fight against the Islamic State and extremism, and the brutal Syrian civil war.
It is unclear which topics will be discussed. Trump’s homeland security adviser, Thomas Bossert, told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday that an agenda had not been set, and his national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, told reporters that “there’s no specific agenda.”
“It’s really going to be whatever the president wants to talk about,” McMaster said, in a statement that has drawn alarm from some national-security experts.
Now, we are supposed to accept this. Our previous president was a community organizer who never did any real work. He used his minority status and Harvard Law Degree to get jobs and never really showed up for work. When elected to the Illinois legislature, he rarely showed and voted present when he did. When elected to the US Senate, he began campaigning for president. Again, voting present when he did show. One accomplishment and one only, he could read a Teleprompter. This is the background that prepared him to meet with Putin.
Now Trump. Built a real estate empire by making sound decisions, hiring and leading 25K employees and negotiating good deals all over the world.
Now this clown, Sonan Sheth(above) , what the hell is a Sonan Sheth ?, tells us that the world is worried about Trump getting steamrolled by Putin. This is insulting news combined with fake news. He cites alarm from national security experts. Unnamed experts. Basically, we get the position that some hack writer from the far left Huffington Post is worried that Putin will get the keys to the country from Trump. His opinion backed by his choice of experts.
Put yourself in Putin’s shoes. Who would you prefer to have across the table from you, the clown who never did jack in his life but had the skids greased every step or the man who has become a billionaire by dealing with high- powered people his entire life?
Give me a break, Sonan, whoever, and all the Sonan’s who write and speak this drivel every day. To the people who hire these Sonan’s we as a country are tired of your ignorant staff insulting our intelligence and the constant pimping for turning this country into Illinois.
