Should
Trump supporters forgive ‘Never Trump’ Republicans? Citizen Kelly says NO.
Billionaire real estate developer Sam Zell isn’t the only one trying to cover
his political tracks since November 8. Governors Mitt Romney and Nikki Haley
have “come to Jesus” since Trump’s election and more ‘Never Trump’ stalwarts
are scurrying about motivated by the carrot of plum appointments. But can they
be trusted? Trump loyalists say NO. Regardless of the PR spin, supporters of
Donald Trump have cause for concern. Find out why by reading Citizen Kelly's
latest column at Daily Caller. [more...]
Trump’s
Cabinet & Mitt
I
think the president-elect’s picks are fantastic. All of his national security
picks understand we are at war with radical Islam. They aren’t afraid of
identifying our attackers as “Islamic terrorists.” They won’t mislabel “Islamic
terror attacks” as “workplace violence” or cite some other excuse. They
couldn’t care less about political correctness. They understand their job isn’t
to be sensitive to the feelings of our enemies. Their only job is to protect
Americans... period. Mitt Romney is no doubt highly qualified, but the most
important trait in life is loyalty. Mitt was disloyal. I have no problem with
Trump adding a few talented rivals to his team, maybe even one Democrat, but
not Mitt. [more...]
Diversity
Officer Says Ohio Jihadist Deserves Sympathy
Even
before Abdul tried to kill a bunch of non-Muslims for the crime of being
non-Muslim with a car and butcher knife, the OSU Lantern helped paint him as a victim, suffering imaginary fears
over Muslim stereotyped as terrorists. Afterward, the diversity officer defended him and used the hashtags
#SayHisName, usually referring to Black Lives Matter protests on behalf of
criminals shot by police officers, and the BLM base hashtag. Nothing says unity
like the name of a racist hate group and defending an Islamic terrorist. [more...]
Ridiculing the White Working Class Voter
By
Crista
Huff
I’ve
been shocked to see liberals on Twitter aggressively ridiculing the “white
working class voter.” Is this about the Twitter libs being bigoted against
white people, or about them expressing class superiority, or about them hating
Republicans and/or people who voted for President-elect Trump? Were the libs previously embracing white
working class voters because they needed their votes, and now they’re revealing
their true colors? No
matter how you slice and dice it, it’s extremely bigoted behavior. [more...]
The
Working Class Election
While
identity politics was a big part of the media's election narrative, those
issues did not actually drive voters' election choices. Instead, exit polls
showed they voted on the basis of the economy, not identity. There are still
competing narratives about how the election was won. Some say racists prevailed
to elevate an authoritarian bigot to the Oval Office. While some may have voted
that way, it is an electoral sub-plot which is not explanatory. Others, those
who are correct, say this was a working class populist election. The evidence
shows that, when comparing to 2012, identity politics was not much of a factor.
The Clinton campaign's reliance on that theme was a big problem. [more...]
