The elephants may very well take a beating in the upcoming elections. I still say we got the best man for the job. Our country has been deteriorating, and it's easy to see. You just have to be a little open minded to see it though. For starters, admit how slanted the media has gotten over the years. Any Republican politician knows the coverage on them will not be favorable. It's at least 5 left leaning sites to 1 right.
So President Trump kicking CNN, MS NOW & Politico out is well deserved, and long overdue. They don't report the news, and haven't been for years. I can only hope and pray this is just the first of many dominos to fall. We need the news reported. Not your view. Any criticism of Trump by Obama, or any other Democrat can't be taken serious because the media fawns over them.

It's like with basketball. Jay Bilas is a sore name to mention around a lot of Duke fans, but he calls it like he sees it. You can't tell he went to Duke, and yeah sometimes it seems like he's slow to praise Duke, but unlike our media, he doesn't have an agenda.

Did anyone catch the woke reporter slamming Arch Manning after he laughed at the AI meme of his Coach Slapping Holly Roe? The woke reporter thought she would get a lot of likes. I believe she lost her job over the incident. They try to go after anyone that they think might be leaning right. It was funny!

Dumb take.

The media didn’t go to war with Iran. The media didn’t impose tariffs. Trump did. He and the people who voted for him are responsible for the mess unfolding across the country.

Trump is attacking the media now to distract from how terrible a job he’s done in the run-up to the midterms. He’s going back to the tried and true because, at this point, defending his actual record as president is a lost cause. It’s no surprise you gobbled it up, though. Critical thinking is not in your wheelhouse.

Lindsey Graham nailed it back in 2016 when he said, “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed… and we will deserve it.”

That time has come.

Talk about an awful take. Your first fault is you're young. The second is you're extremely foolish. Who's to say Iran didn't need to be dealt with? Time will tell kid. One thing for sure? The sources you get 'news' from aren't news. Propaganda yes, news, no. You haven't lived long enough to really know anything. You spew what you learned in school, which has been burned into you, and carried on into your young adult life. Not sure you'll grow out of it though. Which is very sad. The few of us on the right know for a fact you can't be taken serious because of this.

As far as Trump attacking the media? It's long, long overdue. They are so compromised, bought... they don't want to report the news. "Critical thinking is not in your wheelhouse." Hahaha. That has to be the richest comment I've read in quite some time. There's nothing about your thinking that is logical, nor common sense based. None. You only copy and paste what you read, and only read what lines up with your thinking. Which sadly, your thinking is wrong. Open your eyes grasshopper. Please.

Sark ignored Holly Rowe’s question said “ Hook ‘em horns”, then walked off. For a coach making 7 m $ a year, unacceptable. So I don’t know what the coach has to be angry about, other than the fact someone was holding him accountable, and the last time someone did that he lost his job and had to go to rehab. I don’t get the meme. These female reporters have to put up with a lot of bull.

Trump can’t get out of his own way. The outlets banned may have been off the charts anti Trump from the jump, no doubt, but by banning them they get to play free speech martyrs while at the same time he’s been accused of being a fascist and voila more fascist behavior on a silver platter. You’d think he’d have learned from the Jimmy Kimmel fiasco, but of course he didn’t. He acts out of spite and insecurity more than long term rational thinking. He either has a bunch of morons advising him or ignores them altogether. Or both.
But I agree with you that our resident Leftists would ignore high prices if a Dem were in office. How do I know this? 2021-2024. High gas prices? A good thing, people will drive less, go electric.
And we all remember how little they cared about a free press when Obama was in office. Or the Biden years, when the Pres was worse off than your Grandpa right before he got “sent off” and his press secretary, who was a complete half wit. The press corps despised Obama. He was the chosen one, so they had to parse their words, but his admin was reviled by all but the New York Times.

I thought you said Graham was a “ bought off” moron. So was he bought off then or bought off later?
I actually think our nation is quite resilient. The pendulum swings one way, then the other.
Whatever you think of Trump, unemployment is holding steady. No panic attacks lately from posters about their 401ks. We’re not even in a recession for Christ’s sake and you’re using quotes with the word ‘destroyed’.

You very well might be right. I'm hoping Trump has a plan for why he's doing what he is. I can't blame him for not allowing them. They aren't being honest. What I know for sure is we can't sustain how things have been. The media being one of many problems we face. Maybe he does act out of spite and insecurity. In a way though can you blame him? They don't even hide their bias. Corrupt to the core.

There's truth to the joke about Trump and the Pope out on the Potomac. The wind blew the Pope's hat out onto the water. Trump hopped out of the boat, walked over, grabbed his hat, and walked back to the boat.
The headlines on the msm after? "Trump can't swim."

The Dems will assuredly take the House, possibly the Senate. Here’s the tricky part for the Dems. The American people will be reminded of how much they hate Democrats. The open borders, the trans nonsense, the woke nonsense. Soft on crime, abortion on demand. The American people are sick of Trump, but will be reminded very quickly that the Dems are even worse.

2028? you wouldn’t think the Rep would be in the driver’s seat but after the next two years who knows?

Who will be the Dem candidate in 2028?

Aoc? Moron.
Newsom? See California.
Kamala? Come on. You tried that already.
Bernie? Winning primaries in the South and Midwest? Plus he’s 80.
Osoff? A token Jew is still a Jew. Won’t happen. Kamala said as much about Shapiro last go around. He was clearly a better candidate than Walz, but she chose Tampon Tim anyway.
