Fake News & their fake public surveys
The establishment media – NPR, NYT, MSBNC, CBS, ABC, etc – are out wide and wide open, to borrow a football phrase, and we all see it. No denying it, the mainstream media are aggressively partisan political activists. Not news or information reporters. As political activists, they lie, lie, lie to try to get the political outcomes they want.
In football, when a team is hard pressed and is closely behind and running out of time, a wide receiver will often run down the field and out wide and wide open, usually alone in the field, completely visible to the defenders. Then the quarterback will launch what is usually termed a Hail Mary, aimed at anyone where the receiver could be in the end zone. But often times this throw is unbelievaby accurate and aimed perfectly. If the wide receiver is brilliant, he will catch the long, hanging pass, despite the hands and helmets of the defenders trying to grab or knock the ball away, and he will score the winning touchdown.
This is the condition of our Fake News Media right now. They don’t seem to care that everyone can see them standing out there in the field, wide open. Everyone sees their intentions, and everyone knows what they are up to. There is no hiding it. It must be that these politically partisan Fake News Media employees feel like they are behind in the game, because they lose credibility even with their most devoted fans when they are this blatant. They are setting their credibility on fire.
Yes, I concur with you, I too am mystified that any American watches MSNBC or CBS, or reads the New York Times, or listens to NPR, without some inkling that something is amiss. I mean, a consumer of this toxic crap would have to have some scintilla, a tiny sparkle, in the back of their mind that maybe all the myriad other new information outlets and sources exist for a reason…. that the “alternative” media sources must have something of value, by the mere fact that the market demands their product.
Despite growing up with and surrounded by Liberals and Marxist Democrats, I confess that I have never understood them. Never. And I understand them even less today. These supposed arch intellectuals self adulate because they are in effect drug addicts. They constantly consume information that reinforces what they already believe, or want to believe, or expect to be told. And they assiduously avoid information that is contrary to what they want to hear.
Like Pavlov’s dog, Liberal Democrats salivate at the sound of the NPR theme music, and when they hear what they want to hear, the dopamines just torrentially unleash in their brains. That rush tells Liberals that they were right all along. The emotional flow, that congruence between mental expectation and mental reward, is really like a drug addiction rush. Liberal Democrats are dopamine drug addicts. And it makes them hard to pry away from the establishment media junk they are snorting up.
In truth Liberal Democrats are living inside a tiny bubble, or an echo chamber, as some say. I prefer the image of the bubble world that looks like almost every grey, destroyed, run-down, bombed out Democrat-run jurisdiction in America, where outside of it are believed to be scary monsters and unhappy feelings, but in fact warm sunshine and healthy green fields beckon. And so Liberal Democrats abuse themselves and stay on their closed-loop flow dopamine high in their drug addled state, unaware of the pure crap they are being fed.
While the Democrat Party has openly become the political party for and of America-destroying murderers, rapists, pedophiles, violent criminals, Antifa, Black Bloc, lawless judges, Tesla vandals, open hate, insurrection, and illegal aliens committing untold crimes against American citizens, the Democrat Party is also trying to burn down their pro-America opponents.
That alternative information seems to be driving them crazy and into a frenzy!
One of their methods of destroying their opponents is relying on “anonymous sources” in negative establishment media writings and TV appearances. Another is using fake, made-up polls and public opinion surveys with 100% non-scientific methodologies. Today, the New York Times, and its family of fake information outlets on TV and radio, released one of these ridiculous polls claiming that President Trump is precipitously losing popularity.
What a hilariously ridiculous crock of crap!
Today on the log landing, the logger and I were talking about the negative effects the White House’s tariffs are having on our freshly cut, high value oak logs. Terrible timing for us, as we just started a new logging job that has, or had, great financial promise… when the markets are in smooth operation. We each had also touched base with several sawmills this morning, to hear what they are experiencing from the tariff wars.
You know what everyone involved said to us today? Something along the line of It sucks to work as hard as we work, and to then not get the kind of financial reward we would have received just a few weeks ago. But we understand the tariffs are necessary for America to regain its trade footing. We are not upset with President Trump, and we still 100% support him and his policies.
I have yet to meet one person who voted for President Trump and who has regret or remorse now. Not one. These surveys have to be fake, as the mainstream media’s polls and surveys propping up Kamala Harris’s silly campaign were fake, and done for their value as the power of suggestion, for simple political impact purposes. But I do see that Trump’s policy successes are driving the America haters into a fury. And so they have to try to lure gullible people away from supporting Trump with blatant wide-open lies that everyone can see from a mile away.
Folks, my fellow Americans, step away from MSNBC and NPR and CBS and the New York Times. It is all fake, it is all unhealthy for you to consume. And if you do consume it, at least take the antidote: Read some Breitbart or Gateway Pundit. Factually accurate information is good for you.
Happy Economy: Consumers & Local Banks vs. The World
The US economy is strong, and it has been strong since a flood of consumer confidence swept in behind a new president who ushered in to a miserable bipartisan vacuum a refreshing cleansing confidence.
Added to that confidence was –and very much is– a renewed pride in America, in being American, and in American-made products. By mid-2017 a sense of 1950s community once lost and now found again birthed a strong antidote to Obama’s “new normal” of slow American decline.
And we can’t just blame Obama. Yes, Obama hates America and did everything he could to destroy our nation from inside and outside. But he was helped significantly by ye olde typical career Republicans who saw money to be made in America’s decline, just as there was money to be made in its growth. But growth is harder, and why work hard if you don’t really have to, they reasoned. Either way, growth or defeat, the big money Republicans bought their many pet congressmen to safeguard their investments and stood by watching as they hit big on a global economy shifting from their American home turf to China, India, the EU, and other undeserving recipients of America’s health.
In fact, America’s veins were opened up and flowing out. Our life force was draining away, and a host of hungry nations were perched around us, like vultures, picking away at the juicy scraps that fell from our Rust Belt homes and boarded up churches. Both Democrats and Republicans were pumping away, pushing our citizens’ energy force, our very national being, into the waiting mouths of so many other nations. And so our American economy had sputtered, dying
That is, until Trump inspired US consumers, and the local banks they work with and rely upon to take what are big steps in their quality of life.
And so like a thing alive, the American economy has powered forward like it has not moved in decades. And why would the economy not be alive? Our collective economy is us, of us, an organic part of us and an extension of us. America has a sense of good health again, and so it follows that our economy is healthy again, too. And it is getting stronger, despite transparent and treasonous attempts to destroy our economy by the Democrat Party and everyone else allied with them, including the governments and industries of China and Russia.
It is sickening that an entire American political party will do everything it can to badmouth, damage or destroy America’s economy simply in order to artificially malign a president they oppose. The cost to America is enormous! Then again, this is the same political party that advocates for illegal invaders over American citizens, for law-breakers and against law-followers, that claims Social Security will be tossed overboard by the other political party and then does everything in its power to give all of our Social Security money to their new chums, the illegal invaders.
So yes, I guess destroying America’s economy and hurting the American citizens standing in the way is to be expected from the Democrat Party and their communications arm, the Mainstream Media.
One discrete sector of the national economy that is changing is the timber industry. When four hundred million (400,000,000 !) middle-income Chinese aspire to own the nice kitchens and hardwood floors that define comfortable life in America, a huge sucking sound can be heard ’round the world as unquantifiable amounts of natural resources are pulled in to that huge nation. And when the Chinese economy began to falter in early 2018, even before the tariff battle, the Chinese domestic demand for American timber dried up. We then learned in late 2018 that the red oak, residual ash, and black walnut that had been bringing us huge export revenue but which were then beginning to stack up in East Coast log yards were not once destined for Chinese factories re-exporting their finished goods back to America. No, those logs and lumber were being used up domestically in China, as China grew its own middle-income population. A population that is now up against the ropes and cannot buy American hardwoods that make pretty kitchens and flooring.
Accordingly the American timber industry is going through a shake-up due to the way timber buyers invested and spent. The fact is that even as they close in China, new cabinet and flooring factories are opening up in several other Asian countries.
And so now on the battlefield it is the confident American consumer and her local bank officers standing strong against the evil political tide that seeks to reverse what has been accomplished, just begun really, since November 2016. It is happy healthy family and local community versus a global colossus hungry for endless cash, endless money, endless wealth, at any cost, and a domestic political party hungry for power at any cost, even the cost of individual liberties and American success.
In this fight I put my money on the American consumer, not just because I think she is a tough and hard working bunch, but because I am an American. I want her– you, me, us — to win this fight.
