Many people, myself included, were curious when conservative political humorist Mark Steyn joined CRTV (Conservative Review Television) the new pay-4-TV media venture of radio host Mark Levin.
Mark Steyn occasionally fills in for Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, he’s a terrifically funny personality with a strong following.  It simply didn’t make sense for a bright light like Steyn to align with the shrinking endeavors of ‘Never Trump – Old Yeller‘ Levin, who has devolved into a louder screechier version of Glenn Beck, sans Cheetos.
Well, predictably it didn’t take long for litmus-test loggerheads, and broken financial contracts:
Mark Steyn was fired by Old Yeller after only a month into a four-year contract.
Steyn supporters who subscribed to CRTV were initially refused refunds; however, after backlash it would appear refunds are now being granted.
Oh, and it also appears as though a lawsuit is ongoing.
This fiasco was entirely predictable.
One of the more remarkable benefits from the success of President Trump has been the unmasking of crony-conservatives writ large.  As the larger electorate looked on in disbelief, a generational cycle of battered conservative syndrome was finally broken.

In lieu of a daily White House press briefing, Press Secretary Sean Spicer held a smaller press “gaggle” earlier today taking questions from pool reporters.  The transcript follows:

11:40 A.M. EST – MR. SPICER: Hi, guys. I’m going to try to keep this relatively short. We got a few things going on today, and I know that the pool has got to get out to do a spray at some point soon with the lunch.
So, obviously, last night was a big night for the President and for everyone here at the White House. The President delivered a powerful statement to Congress, to Americans, and the world last night. It was an optimistic, forward-looking message of unity, strength, straight from his heart.
The President was proud to stand before the American people last night and present his roadmap for a renewal of the American spirit. He honestly and — he honestly acknowledged the undeniable challenges that we face, but continually reminded us there’s no challenge facing this country that we can’t meet if we join together.

Keeping with a recent tradition, on the afternoon of the State of the Union speech, the President invites some of the media for lunch.  Today President Trump ate lunch with reporters including: Jake Tapper (CNN), Chris Wallace (Fox) George Stephanopoulos (ABC), Chuck Todd (NBC), Lester Holt (CBS) and Bret Baier (Fox)

President Donald Trump pre-recorded an interview yesterday with the morning hosts of Fox and Friends.  The wide-ranging interview aired this morning:

It was interesting to see a question about 600 unfilled administration positions, and President Trump’s response NOT to fill those positions because they are fundamentally unnecessary to the priority functions of government.
This gives a peek into presidential priorities and his budgetary approach:

Treason I say, T.R.E.A.S.O.N.  Oh, stop… my sides hurt.  I cannot stop laughing and I’ve watched this video more than a few times.
CNN Dingbat Erin Burnett tries to tell former Attorney General Michael Mukasey that talking to the Russians about the election is a crime, “a crime”…  Actually, “Treason”, swear… gottabe.. or something.
Oh, the look on Mukasey’s face is buckets of funny.  “What”? !!  The media have gone so deep inside their echo-chambered moonbattery, they’ve convinced themselves that talking to Russians is a criminal act.  WATCH:

.
Comrade Sean Spicer should wear a big fur hat and bring a dancing bear into the Press Briefing room tomorrow,… with a Cossack line !! See, that’s why I could never be a press secretary. I would so never let these dingbats live this stuff down.

Each of the non-citizen voters have committed a criminal felony.  DHS is deporting illegal alien felons as a top priority.  Any illegal alien who voted will now be subject to arrest and deportation….

COLUMBUS (WCMH) — Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted announced an investigation has uncovered that hundreds of non-US citizens are registered to vote in the state, and dozens of them voted illegally.
According to a release from Husted, 385 people who are not citizens of the United States are registered to vote in Ohio. Out of those, 82 voted in at least one election in the last year.  (read more)

For the most part Matt Lauer was relentlessly trying to bait President George W. Bush into criticism of President Trump.   For the most part Lauer failed.
However, it would be intellectually dishonest not to notice that Dubya stayed quiet when faced with an administration he agrees with (Obama), and pokes his head up when there’s an administration he disagrees with (Trump).   UniParty Rules.

One of the reasons why President Trump continues to give the media trouble is because he speaks common sense truths directly about issues.  In the latest example the people, not leaders, within the Democrat party know what he’s saying is fundamentally accurate.
Bernie Sanders appearing on CNN responded when questioned about the issue, and everyone notes Sanders doesn’t actually dispute what Trump is highlighting.

Zac Petkanas, Democrat National Committee Senior Adviser, appeared on Tucker Carlson’s TV show to explain the DNC position that a persons gender is what they say it is.
The argument is fraught with downstream impact, because if a person’s gender is what they say it is at any given moment in time – then there’s immediately no such thing as Sexism or gender driven ERA laws.   You cannot be sued for hiring all males, because some of those males can instantaneously be women, and you’re not allowed to ask about their gender when hiring…. because it’s a protected category… see where this goes.  It’s nuttery.
This is the 2017 DNC.

Obviously everyone is seeing the Astroturf attendees to various Town Hall events promoted by a Very Fake News media apparatus.  Everyone knows the ruse, because astroturf activism is a consistently deployed page from the Democrat’s Alinsky playbook.
However, for those who might not have been as engaged in the grassroots Tea Party original activism – allow me to remind you of December 2009.

The “corn-husker kickback“.  The “Louisiana  Purchase“.  Bill Nelson’s “Gator-aid”. Do those terms ring a bell?  They surfaced in late 2009 as then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was buying votes for the original Senate version of Obamacare.  Leader Reid was constructing a plan that was opposed by 70% of the national electorate.
Town Halls?  It’s hilarious to hear Democrats and media discussing “Town Halls” in 2017 when back in those dark December ’09 evenings, the entire senate was sequestered by Reid and held in session 8 days past the scheduled Christmas holiday break.
