THE NARRATIVE CARTEL OF THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA
"The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns," Ben Rhodes gloated. "That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.”
Rhodes, the White House’s “Obama whisperer,” was explaining how he had pulled the wool over the media’s eyes on the Iran Deal to a journalist. The media responded to the story by attacking the journalist who reported it, not Rhodes for viewing them as easily manipulated useful idiots.
The media knew that it knew nothing. And it didn’t care. It just didn’t want outsiders to know it.
What ties together the debate about Russian collusion, fake news and Fusion GPS is the implosion of the media. Much of the media is really in the business of ‘story laundering’ by rewriting talking points, smears and hit pieces from organizations like Fusion GPS. The readers get talking points served to them without ever knowing who actually produced them.

Russia’s only aircraft carrier is a rusting smokebucket
Soon after coming to power in 1998, Vladimir Putin made a colossal mistake. Not only has he refused, almost 20 years later, to correct his misjudgement, he has compounded it on many levels. Here’s why this is doom for the Russian military.
SAUDI ARABIA GETS ITS FIRST REAL GOVERNMENT
Why does the US, Russia, China, and Israel like this man?
A senior Chinese official complained to me a while ago that the Saudi royal family funds every radical madrassa in Xinjiang province, where Muslim Uyghurs of Turkish ethnicity form the majority.
I asked our Chinese hosts why they didn’t remonstrate with the Saudi government. The Chinese official said:
“We talk to the Saudis all the time, and they say they will have nothing to do with it. But this is not a government. It is a family! Some crazy cousin is always sending money to terrorists through informal finance channels.”Now it appears that Saudi Arabia has a government, thanks to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s weekend purge of the royal family (11/04). It is probably the only political event in recent memory that has the support of Washington, Moscow and Beijing, not to mention Berlin, London, Paris and Tokyo — as well as Jerusalem. Here’s why.

HALF-FULL REPORT 11/03/17
Sayfullo Saipov, 29, an immigrant from Uzbekistan, drove a rented pickup truck into a bike lane in lower Manhattan Tuesday (10/31), killing 8, injuring 12. He was a known wolf.
Saipov couldn’t have gotten into this country under normal procedures. He was a winner in the Visa Diversity Lottery, a PC horror that permits random foreigners to get a green card simply by luck.

Antifa leaders in the U.S. are in close contact with ISIS and other Islamist terror groups, according to an FBI report cited by author Ed Klein.
“This group and their connections with radical Islamic groups must be disrupted and destroyed,” concludes the report, which Klein said was delivered to Acting Director Andrew McCabe July 11.

Bowe Bergdahl will serve no jail time for desertion and “misbehavior before enemy.” Among those outraged by the sentence is President Trump.

The CIA released Wednesday (11/1) Osama bin Laden’s files, captured during the raid on his “hideout” in Pakistan.
The most newsworthy disclosure is the mullahs in Iran were in cahoots with al Qaida. Zero has some ‘splainin’ to do.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller charged Paul Manafort and business partner Rick Gates Monday (10/30) with money laundering and failing to register as foreign agents.
Though the fact Manafort worked (briefly) for Trump led MSM reports, the charges stem from work Manafort did for Viktor Yanukovych, a former Ukrainian president who was a Kremlin stooge, between 2006 and 2015.
“The indictment of Manafort and Gates is damning on their financial dealings, but it makes no mention of Trump, collusion or the campaign,” noted ABC White House correspondent Jonathan Karl.
Manafort’s indictment is “bad news for Trump,” the MSM said. The opposite is true.
To keep moonbat hopes alive, the Lying Swine grasp at this slender straw:

THE TO THE POINT NEW YEAR’S CELEBRATION
New Year’s Fireworks at Miragem Resort Cascais Portugal
Here’s a question – how many New Year’s Eves have you had? They come and go, some better than others.
But how many New Year’s Eves have you had that were so extraordinary you’ll never forget them as long as you live?
If you’re able to join Rebel and me on our To The Point New Year’s Celebration in Portugal, this will be one of them.
Rebel and I want to show you why Portugal is our favorite country in Europe – Rebel loves it so much, and its endearing people, that she taught herself Portuguese!
In so much of the US, New Year’s is cold – but not in sunny Portugal. It’s one of the many reasons Portugal is “California in Europe” – with thousands of years more history and culture. It’s utterly captivating, and we’ll show you why.
Portugal is the authentic Europe, unknown and unspoiled. It’s legendary for its weather, wine, and food. And for the friendliness of its people. It’s an exploration and it is also a celebration!
For we, as rational conservatives, have so very much to celebrate at the end of 2017. It’s been a long long time since Americans have had this much to celebrate, so much to look forward in the coming year.
Rebel and I want to celebrate all this with our fellow TTPers in a way, in a place, that will be a life-memorable glorious experience for all of us.
I hope you’ll join us. You’ll never forget it as we bring in the New Year of 2018. We all have much to be grateful for and to celebrate, so let’s do it together.
Here’s our schedule. Enjoy the pictures! Jack
THE ISLAND OF PREY
Lampedusa, Italy. This is a small (13 square miles), barren, treeless desert rockpile island that for mysterious reasons Italians flock to in summer, packing themselves in to a handful of tiny beaches so that the sun can turn their skin into wrinkled leather.
There are other people who come here in far greater numbers than sunbathing Italians. While summer is long gone and the beaches mostly deserted, 845 of them arrived here in the last few days, over 140,000 so far this year.
Euroweenies call them “migrants” or “refugees.” They are predators from Africa, most all of them young men come to prey on feckless Europe, to sponge and demand that bleeding-heart Euroweenies feed them, house them, and take care of them because… because… well, for no good reason whatever.
Most all of them are Moslems from northern or western Africa. Lampedusa, you see, is the southernmost point of Italy, closer to Africa (70 miles) than to Malta (110 miles) or Sicily (130 miles).
What’s happened here is of blinding relevance to America, especially after the Halloween Moslem Terrorism in New York on Tuesday (10/31).
THE LEFT IS ON THE SIDE OF MOSLEM TERRORISTS NOT AMERICANS
Moslem Terrorist Sayfullo Saipov where he belongs
Earlier this year, a final settlement was reached in the war on the NYPD’s counterterrorist Islamic surveillance.
The Manhattan courtroom where the lawfare effort to dismantle the NYPD’s ability to stop terrorist attacks was heard is blocks away from the site of the latest Islamic terrorist attack in New York. I.e., yesterday, Oct 31.
The attack by the Moslem settler from Uzbekistan was almost identical to previous Car Jihad attacks in Europe. Right down to using a fake firearm. But New York City had avoided the non-stop terror wave that engulfed Paris and other European cities thanks to the hard work of the NYPD.
But every time the NYPD broke up an Islamic terror plot, the media and its leftist allies would howl that the racist police had entrapped another innocent mentally ill Moslem. Why are they on the terrorists’ side – always – and not America’s?
IS MUELLER RUNNING SCARED?
Yesterday (10/30) was quite the news day. Mueller indicted Paul Manafort, Richard Gates, a Manafort business partner, and George Papadopoulos. The latter two men are completely unknown to most Americans, very minor characters in this bit of political theater, akin to the fairy servants of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
After nearly a year, this is Mueller's big play? The results of a multi-million dollar "investigation" (witch hunt)? Sixteen hardcore Democrat lawyers on his staff and this is it? A big nothing that is essentially, as Andrew McCarthy wrote yesterday, "...not much there, a boon to Trump."
This is most likely just an overture. Mueller and his gang of lefty thug lawyers play hardball and will use every trick in their bag to get these men to betray others.
But what if there is nothing to betray? What if the only crooks are among the Democrat left? And one of them is Bobby Mueller himself?
TRUMP VINDICATED ON PARIS ACCORD SCAM
The United Nations has officially confirmed what many of us, including President Trump, knew already: the Paris climate accord was a complete waste of space.
As UN Environment admits in its latest Emissions Gap Report (10/31), even when you add up all the CO2 reduction pledges made by all the signatory nations at Paris, it still comes to only a third of what is supposedly necessary to stop the world warming by more than 2 degrees C by the end of this century.
According to UN Environment’s head Eric Solheim, the world is heading for disaster:
“One year after the Paris Agreement entered into force, we still find ourselves in a situation where we are not doing nearly enough to save hundreds of millions of people from a miserable future. Governments, the private sector and civil society must bridge this catastrophic climate gap.”Another way of looking at it, though, is that President Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris accord is now fully vindicated. He has saved America from the catastrophe the eco-fascists dream of.
