How CNN’s Fake News
Machine Ran
CNN
Investigates had been announced after President Trump’s inauguration. Its hit
pieces had followed the same pattern as the Scaramucci attack that would be its
undoing. Go after a personality tipped for a job with the new administration.
CNN Investigates had previously targeted Monica Crowley and Sheriff Clarke with
plagiarism accusations. But this time around, CNN’s anti-Trump unit had made a
big mistake. Conspiracy theories die hard. Fake news is very profitable. But
what happened at CNN should be a lesson to the rest of the industry eager to
cash in on the irrational fear and loathing from the left. The two titans of
anonymously sourced Trump hit pieces, the New York Times and the Washington
Post, are next. [more...]
Tesla, North Korea,
NAFTA and Rethinking America’s Growth Strategy?
President
Trump declared that China’s efforts with North Korea have failed. Tesla,
despite Elon Musk’s prior commitment to USA-made electric cars, announced that
it is in talks to build a plant in Shanghai. It may be time to shift America’s
China strategy away from diplomacy towards actions we can take without
negotiations. After campaigning aggressively against China’s nationalistic and
economic aggressiveness, the Trump Administration decided to try more standard
diplomacy. North Korean missile testing was a very important backstory.
In April, China agreed to help prevent Kim Jong Un from conducting more nuclear
missile testing. The Trump administration did not declare China a currency
manipulator in April. [more...]

Messina
Democrats
are talking about how bad this new healthcare plan is and are saying that 24+
million people will lose insurance. And, of course, the end of humankind as we
know it will be along shortly thereafter. Democrats now blame Republicans for
the coming failure of Obamacare. It seems that all the misinformation and fear
mongering by Republicans has caused many insurance companies to lose millions
of dollars and ultimately pull out of the program. Hold up a minute... The
Affordable Care Act was a failure from day one. Some would say it’s good
because now they have insurance and that makes it okay under any circumstances.
Really? So, if you personally have insurance now, but 20,000 others don’t
because their premiums are too high and they can only pay the penalty, are you
REALLY okay with that? You don’t mind getting subsidies from the government to
cover your health insurance, while those who make just over the allotted income
can’t get subsidized insurance. Now they pay the penalty and get no insurance.
But you’re okay with that. How “equal” of you. So much for equality. So much
for helping out your fellow man. [more...]
