CNN SNOWFLAKE Jim Acosta Blames TRUMP for ‘TOXIC’ Media Coverage

CNN senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta took his all-out war with the Trump administration to a new level this week; slamming the White House for creating a “toxic environment” between the media and the President.

In a recent interview published in Variety, the left-leaning reporter blasted the President for labeling his organization “fake news,” adding many of Trump’s supporters viewed the network as “the enemy of the people.”

“There is that natural tension that exists between the press and the people we were covering, but it was never like this,” Acosta says. “We were never called ‘fake news.’ We were never called ‘the enemy of the people,’ and that just created a totally different climate and environment that we are all trying to make sense of and trying to figure out: How do we cover the news in that kind of toxic environment?”

“It’s part of the environment we’re in right now where every action is going to be put through the conservative meat grinder,” he added.
Just about any correspondent covering the White House today will tell you that the kind of tension and animus that exists between the press corps and the Trump administration is something new and different. Most reporters share a sense that covering Trump is a challenge like no other, at a time when political journalists and the First Amendment are under siege. If it isn’t the president’s frequent outbursts on Twitter, railing against one particular story, news outlet or reporter, it is the unrelenting pace of the breaking-news cycle, much of it due to Trump’s erratic, unconventional behavior and the public interest in his every move.

“There is that natural tension that exists between the press and the people we were covering, but it was never like this,” Acosta says. “We were never called ‘fake news.’ We were never called ‘the enemy of the people,’ and that just created a totally different climate and environment that we are all trying to make sense of and trying to figure out: How do we cover the news in that kind of toxic environment?”

The natural answer is, just the way they have always done it — which is to say, report the news. But that isn’t quite enough with this White House, as reporters are subjected to much greater scrutiny and demands. The stakes are higher and the criticisms more extreme, the attacks often personal.

With the easy accessibility of social media, some political reporters find themselves getting death threats. Acosta says he got “a threat of violence” following the Easter Egg Roll incident. “I probably receive more death threats than I can count. I get them basically once a week.”

CNN Spreads Nasty Rumors About Trump’s VA Pick, Rand Paul Shuts Them Up

The fake news network CNN has been spreading nasty rumors about President Donald Trump’s VA nominee Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson. However, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) shuts them up with one word.

Liberals suffered a major loss when former United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs David Shulkin left his job amidst major failures and scrutiny from the White House. Following Shulkin’s departure, President Trump took to Twitter on March 28, 2018, to signal a change in leadership at the VA.

“I am pleased to announce that I intend to nominate highly respected Admiral Ronny L. Jackson, MD, as the new Secretary of Veterans Affairs. In the interim, Hon. Robert Wilkie of DOD will serve as Acting Secretary. I am thankful for Dr. David Shulkin’s service to our country and to our GREAT VETERANS!” Trump wrote.
For millions of American patriots, news of David Shulkin’s departure couldn’t come soon enough. The horrific state of affairs within the VA was a direct result of Shulkin’s lack of leadership and misplaced focus. The end result of Shulkin’s management at the VA was mass suffering for countless numbers of our beloved veterans. True to his word and campaign promises, Trump made a move to create the kind of care our veterans deserve.

After President Donald Trump announced Jackson’s nomination to replace Shulkin at the VA, the liberal media started up the rumor mill. According to a report from CNN, unidentified sources said that Jackson was intoxicated and banged on the hotel room door of a female employee during an overseas trip in 2015. CNN claims there are four different sources who were familiar with the incident who spoke anonymously about it.
Leave it to the fake news network to float nasty rumors about a Trump nominee in an effort to tarnish his reputation. The report also said that one source claimed the incident became so noisy that the Secret Service intervened out of concern that Jackson would wake then-President Barack Obama.

Now, as Jackson’s Congressional approval looms overhead and the mainstream media launches their attacks, Rand Paul is stepping in. During a recent interview with Fox News‘ America’s Newsroom host Bill Hemmer, Paul delivered a much-needed dose of clarity and logic to the Jackson rumors.

“It’s one of those things where it sounds a bit sort of like gossip to me now. I don’t know yet what to believe and what not to believe. So it’s going to take longer for me to sort of understand that situation and I haven’t delved into it personally. You know, people are going to make accusations and say, Bill Hemmer, yells at people at work, I wouldn’t just take their word for it. I’d ask people and we’d have to get through it to see if it’s a real problem,” Paul said, according to Daily Caller.
Paul voiced his support for Trump’s VA nominee. “I’m completely open to his nomination. The President has picked him and like every other one I try to give some consideration to what the President wants,” Paul added.

Paul then blasted Democrats for playing politics over Trump’s administration nominees. “There’s still a lot of nominees dragging. He has probably a third less than any other President at this point so there is a lot of resistance and what the Democrats are doing, which I think is petty partisanship, is they are blocking and filibustering people they didn’t vote for,” Paul concluded.
I could not agree more with Senator Rand Paul in regard to CNN spreading cheap gossip about Jackson. Once again, we see a perfect example of how the left wages political warfare on Trump’s administration through the mainstream media. It’s imperative for American patriots to continue supporting our President and to speak out against such liberal bias in the mainstream media when necessary.

Nancy Pelosi Bashes Trump Tax Cuts Again, Fed-Up Student Teaches Her A Lesson

Source: https://goo.gl/Q6pi8n
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) recently bashed President Donald Trump again over his tax cuts. Watch as a fed-up student stands up and teaches the liberal loser a lesson that she won’t soon forget.

Nancy Pelosi doesn’t quite know when to close her mouth. According to Daily Caller, the California Democrat got lambasted with a rude awakening from a student at Georgetown University. It’s about time someone gave Pelosi a good dose of reality, and it was all caught on video.

The footage which was captured on Tuesday, April 24, 2018, shows a well-spoken young man who asked Pelosi if she would still consider Trump’s tax cuts to be crumbs. “Thank you very much for being here today, my name is Sam. I’m from northern Virginia, I’m a freshman in the school foreign service. You have spoken about the effects of the Republican tax plan specifically referring to its effects on average American’s as crumbs,” he said, according to the Washington Examiner.
Sam didn’t waste any time in hitting Pelosi with some good old-fashioned conservative logic. “As the son of small business owners, I know that it’s helped my parents hire more employees. It’s helped us pay off our mortgage, helped put me through college. On a macroeconomic level, the economy is growing, wages are rising for the first time in years. Would you still refer to the effects of this tax plan on average Americans as crumbs?”

“Yes,” Pelosi answered back. “Well, thank you very much, Sam, for your question. And yes there are some benefits that some are feeling in a particular way with the tax bill,” she added. It’s funny how Sam spoke in specific terms with a definitive point and ended by asking Pelosi a concise question only to have Pelosi came right back with a general reply and a non-specific explanation.

Nancy Pelosi goes on to attempt some kind of watered-down version of her previous attacks on Donald Trump’s tax cuts. “My question, my statement was really a fuller statement that says while they provide a banquet for top one percent, they’re giving some crumbs to other people. And that has been something that has been taken up by others as well, some on the Republican side,” Pelosi said.
It’s amusing how Pelosi immediately tries to distribute some of the blame for her previous statements about “crumbs” to other people. Like a true liberal, she can’t even own her words when faced with a solid rebuttal.

“And why I say that is because here’s a tax bill that they advertise as a benefit for the middle-class and did you know that 83 percent of the benefits of the tax bill goes to the top one percent, 83 percent of the benefit to the top one percent. In the life of the bill, 86 million middle-class families will pay more taxes,” Pelosi added.

“The bill adds, and this is of interest to young people, mortgages your future by adding over 2 trillion dollars to the national debt. And that, then they come back and say well, we have 2 trillion dollars added to the national debt, we have to pay for it by cutting,” Pelosi continued.
It’s very entertaining to see Nancy Pelosi posturing as some kind of fiscally responsible politician. She won’t dare talk about all of the obscene spending that she and other Democrats supported under former President Barack Obama. Her hypocrisy really knows no limits.

“The President came out with this budget. The problem with the tax bill is it isn’t that we could not have come to a bi-partisan agreement about how to lower corporate rates to a certain amount, not the way they did or make benefits for some,” Pelosi said as she gestured back at Sam. “But not at the expense of so many others,” she added.
In addition to her comments on Tuesday, Nancy Pelosi has also been quoted as saying that Democrats would get rid of President Donald Trump’s tax cuts if they were able to take over the House of Representatives in the midterm elections. It would have been more honest of Pelosi to simply tell Sam that her party supports massive government welfare programs that prohibit them from giving families like his the economic boost they need to make a small business survive and send their kids to college.

Of course, Pelosi isn’t capable of that kind of transparency or integrity, which is why we continue to laugh at her when a college freshman gets up and schools her on how average Americans think. In my opinion, Sam’s parents deserve a tremendous amount of thanks for raising such an outstanding American. Our country needs more thinkers like Sam.

Pelosi & Schumer Pissed! Trump Only Invited 1 Democrat To State Dinner With France

It appears that Democratic leaders in Congress were left off the guest list for President Donald Trump’s first state dinner at the White House on Tuesday. Only one Democratic politician was invited, and he was not a member of Congress. Now, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are furious.

On Tuesday evening in Washington, DC, fifteen months into the Trump administration, First Lady Melania Trump threw her first state dinner in honor of French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte. It was a meticulously planned affair with a menu meant to pay tribute to American culinary traditions with “nuances of French influences.”

The intricate meal was served on both the Clinton and George W. Bush china, which features a green color palette that complemented the green flowers featured in the dining room. There were more than 1,200 branches of cherry blossom, all homegrown in the United States, and more than 2,500 stems of white sweet peas. The Kennedy Center’s Washington National Opera performed. And only one Democrat was invited.

On Monday, representatives for the top four Democratic leaders in Congress — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer — told CNN that their offices did not receive an invitation to the state dinner with the French president.

CNN then reached out to the White House for confirmation that no congressional Democrats had been invited to dine with the French president, but they did not receive a response. On Tuesday, though, as attendees began to arrive at the White House, the Clinton News Network got its answer.
It was true — the Trumps had left every single congressional Democrat off the guest list. They had, however, invited one member of the opposing party: Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards. According to Daily Mail, it is custom to invite Louisiana politicians to state dinners with France because of the state’s Cajun-French roots, and so the governor and his wife Donna were in attendance.

According to WGNO, while it’s not common for presidents to invite large swaths of members of the opposing party to state dinners, past presidents have invited a few prominent names because of their work on issues related to the guest of honor, or because the White House was courting them to support an agenda item.

In February 2014, then-President Barack Obama hosted then-French President Francois Hollande for a state dinner and invited a few members of the opposing party, including Republican Rep. Eric Cantor, who was the House Majority Leader at the time. Republican Reps. Paul Ryan, Harold Rogers of Kentucky, and Ed Royce of California also attended, along with Republican Gov. Bill Haslam of Tennessee.

The choice to shun top Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer at Tuesday night’s opulent state dinner speaks volumes about the priorities of the Trump administration. Donald and Melania Trump care about tradition. This is why Gov. John Bel Edwards was invited.
However, the president and his lovely wife surely felt they could do without the drama other Democrats would have brought to the evening. After all, we have seen the way Pelosi and her ilk have acted when they are invited to attend a highly-publicized government function. Just look at the stunt she pulled during President Trump’s State of the Union address. She and her buddy Chuck certainly were not missed on Tuesday.

Middle School Teacher Bullies Student For Citing Fox News, Then It Got Worse

Source: https://goo.gl/A3Umeu
It is common practice in this day and age for teachers to bring their politics into the classroom. It started in colleges with professors indoctrinating their adult students to support the liberal agenda, but it has seeped into high schools. Now, even middle school and grade school students are not safe from the barrage of the progressive agenda being pushed by their teachers.

An Indiana man said that his son’s 8th-grade Spanish teacher, Sarah Ford, bullied his son because he used Fox News as a source in a paper he wrote. Todd Hein told WOWO that the teacher berated his son in front of his classmates and gave him an extra credit assignment to do about “President Donald Trump’s lies.”

“She decided to walk up to him and in front of everybody, told him Fox News is fake news, it’s full of lies… and gave him a new assignment, to look up any of the ‘many lies’ Donald Trump has told as President of the United States, and do a full page report on that,” Hein said.
“They don’t need to listen to that in a Spanish class, of all things. I mean there’s no other word to describe it. She bullied our son over Fox News,” he said. Hein said that he had a meeting with school officials in which Ford admitted to doing what his son said she did. The school, Blackhawk Middle School, told him that it had finished its investigation but would not tell him what the decision was.

“They said she’d be the only person who knew the outcome unless she was terminated, then it would be presented to the board and it would become a public record,” he said. Hein and his son Jacob, not satisfied with that answer, took the story to Fox News to bring more attention to it.
“She came up to him in class in front of everybody and said, ‘I noticed that you cited Fox News on your last article, and I want you to know that Fox News is fake news. It’s full of lies, and you’re no longer to use Fox News as a source for any of these assignments,’” Hein told “Fox & Friends.” He said that his son was “embarrassed” and “scared.”

Hein said that Ford pulled his son aside the day after the meeting with the school administrators and apologized to him. Jacob said he felt “pretty bad about the situation — because she singled me out in class and was talking bad about this, and the whole situation, it was completely random and it was shocking to me.”

Hein said he made it public because “this is something that, nationally, we’re hearing almost on a daily basis now. It used to be college level, high school, now we’re getting into middle and grade school even,” he said. He said that “even after this incident, she gave an assignment three days after our meeting to go ahead and figure out why (President) Donald Trump has not done enough to help the people of Puerto Rico since the hurricanes.”
The school district issued a statement disavowing what Sarah Ford did, but it did not say what repercussions she faced for bullying the student. “Fort Wayne Community Schools does not condone the kind of behavior detailed by this parent,” FWCS public information officer Krista Stockman said in the statement.

“When we were notified, we immediately investigated and took appropriate action,” it read. “Because this is a personnel matter, we cannot provide details of the outcome of the investigation.”
One part of the outcome that we do know is that Ford continues to teach at the school. There has been no suspension and nothing that has appeared to deter the teacher’s rhetoric as she gave her students an anti-President Trump assignment three days after the incident with Hein. It sounds like the outcome was giving her a pat on the back and telling her to keep indoctrinating students.
