NYT puts Trump's memes on the couch and diagnoses itself; SCOTUS reduxx; the GOP opens the first midterm convention in its history; Georgia police hunt a rubber-duck romantic; more.
For thirty years before he ran for office, Donald Trump quietly paid mortgages, flew sick children across the country, and wrote checks to strangers who needed help. You will not find those stories on the evening news. So here they are.
Start with what people who knew him before politics say. He has never had a drink. He has never smoked. He has never used drugs. He built his business on long hours, and the people who worked for him will tell you he outworked all of them. Nobody called him a bigot until the day he announced for president. That timing tells you something about the accusation.
Now to the record.
In 1986, a Georgia widow named Annabell Hill was about to lose the family farm at a foreclosure auction. Trump saw her story on the news, picked up the phone, called the auction, and stopped the sale. Then he sent her the money to keep the farm.
In 1988, an Orthodox Jewish family in Los Angeles had a three-year-old son named Andrew Ten who needed treatment in New York. The boy could not survive without a full life-support setup, and no airline would carry it. His father asked Trump for help. Trump put the family on his own jet and got them there.
In 1991, two hundred Marines came home from Desert Storm to Camp Lejeune and found out the military had no aircraft to fly them the rest of the way to Florida. Trump's airline, the Trump Shuttle, made two runs between North Carolina and Miami and got every one of them back to their families.
In 1995, a passing driver in New Jersey pulled over to help change a flat on Trump's limo. Trump asked what he could do in return. The man only wanted flowers sent to his wife. A few weeks later, the story goes, the flowers came with a note saying the couple's mortgage had been paid off. People have been repeating that one for three decades.
In 1996, Trump sued the town of Palm Beach, Florida. The town had been leaning on his Mar-a-Lago club for one reason. He let in Jewish members and Black members, and the older clubs did not. Abraham Foxman, who ran the Anti-Defamation League at the time, said Trump shined a light on the ugly side of Palm Beach that the glitter usually hid. Foxman also said other clubs started admitting Jews and Blacks after Trump forced the issue.
In 2000, Trump was watching Maury Povich and saw a little girl named Megan who lived with brittle bone disease. He said her attitude got to him. He called the show and sent her family a large check.
In 2008, Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother, and nephew were murdered in Chicago. Trump moved Hudson and her family into his Chicago hotel at no charge and had his security team watch over them while they grieved.
In 2013, a Buffalo bus driver named Darnell Barton saw a woman standing at the edge of a bridge. He stopped the bus, walked over, put an arm around her, and talked her back to safety. Trump read about it and mailed Barton a check, because he thought a man like that deserved a reward.
In 2014, Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi spent seven months in a Mexican prison after he took a wrong turn at the border with legally owned guns in his truck. President Obama never placed the call to Mexico that the sergeant's family begged for. Trump sent Tahmooressi a check for $25,000 to help him rebuild his life once he got home.
In 2016, Melissa Young stood at a Trump rally in Wisconsin and cried while she thanked him. She had competed as Miss Wisconsin USA in 2005, then got sick with an illness that has no cure. During her worst stretch, a handwritten note arrived from Trump calling her the bravest woman he knew. She said the doors Trump opened for her ended up giving her Mexican-American son a full ride to college.
That same year, Lynne Patton, a Black executive at the Trump Organization, put out a video answering the people calling her boss a racist. She admitted she had fought addiction for years. She said the Trump family never pushed her out. They stood by her the whole way.
Also in 2016, a young Illinois volunteer named Shane Bouvet told reporters that Trump had stepped in to cover his father's cancer treatment. His father, Donald Bouvet, beat the cancer. Trump has stayed in touch with the family ever since.
And there is a story that has floated around New York business circles for years. A Black business owner could not get a loan anywhere in the city. Someone told him to go see Trump. Trump lent him the money and told him to pay it back when he could. The man came back later with a check and said the business was doing well. Trump tore the check up.
Read that list again and notice who is on it.
A farm widow.
A Jewish family.
Marines.
A bus driver.
A jailed serviceman.
A sick beauty queen and her Mexican-American son. A grieving Black singer.
A struggling Black executive.
When Trump saw someone in trouble, he helped, and he did not check their race or their religion first.
Nearly forty years ago, Oprah asked him on air if he would ever run for president. He told her he would not rule it out if things in this country ever got bad enough. He looked at America in 2015 and decided that day had come. The man who spent decades helping people one at a time decided to help the whole country.
Ask yourself when you last heard of Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama doing any of this with their own money. Then ask yourself why the media, Hollywood, and the progressive left have spent ten years trying to destroy a man with this record. He loves this country. The record shows it. Share this so your friends see what the news will not show them.
the answer is simple - he is a republican first and second that constantly humiliates them and if there is anything leftists hate it is to be embarrassed/humiliated
Thanks for this post Frank! As a native New Yorker I knew about these stories and others.
He fixed the Wollman Skating Rink in NYCās Central Park in 1986 after the city failed for many years and millions of dollars to do it. He did it ahead of schedule and under budget and it became the crown jewel of Central Park.
I especially admire his creativity and as Jeff has pointed out many times, he finds the third way to get things done.
We have been blessed to have such a man as President who truly loves this country. He may have a large ego but he has a heart of gold as evidenced by your stories.
In the town 15 minutes away from me, my daughter (a kindergarten teacher) was tutoring one of her students at home. The little girl was home from Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh where she was being treated for cancer. Her grandfather is a friend of my husband. A few months later she was back in the hospital for more treatment as her cancer had returned. This time she got a letter from Donald and Melania Trump. And then the news came that the Trumps had paid off her hospital bills. None of this ever became public knowledge.
This is absolutely sensational....and just a suggestion: can you cite the sources for all of us, because we're lazy, and likely will need attribution in the face of TDS.
I suppose part of it is that the others you mentioned never made their own money, they were always busy conning it out of others for nothing except their Machiavellianism.
I said many times to people voting for President. Look at Biden's track record, his lies, his dysfunctional family, or Clintons, Obama, then look at Trumps. Families, corporations, and governments all form from the top down. I am so happy to have Trump!! I love his memes as well, I just laugh and laugh at the left, the NYT's, the inept media, and ask myself over and over why would these people want to let our country to be over run and basically looted by people that have not participated in building our country. They keep saying they wish to "help the poor people" but if we have nothing left to offer we can help no one. DUH!! No common sense.
Amen. Genuine question: do you give any credence to the conspiracy theories Candace has been sparking? When I took an earnest look/listen to what people were saying, there is enough fishiness to convince me that whatever happened, it's definitely not the official narrative.
The clip-on microphone as the potential murder weapon (concept proven with the Israeli walkie talkies), the re-paving of the crime scene 48hrs post-assassination (per the FBI & Governor's orders), the timing of events given Charlie's stance on Israel becoming unfavorable to the current political regime... There needs to be a full, thorough, and REAL investigation done by a non-compromised third party, but I doubt we'll ever see that happen. God bless him & his family, he deserved better.
Good morning... My first great grandchild was born this morning. Rather special, as it was my best friend's birthday too. And the rain arrived. So a nice start to a special day! š
What wonderful news! Congratulations to you and the whole family, and welcome to the world to your great grandchild!! So special that it was also on your best friend's birthday!! Love that! <3
@Shayne- congratulations! Even though the baby is 3 generations behind you the love you have doesn't diminish (we have two great-granddaughters). Our grandson turns 5 tomorrow, September 11. His mother was in labor for 4 days. He waited. He tells us about how he used to be a safety officer and wants to go back to NYC; that "you can go high up into the buildings and see the helicopters and airplanes flying around."
Woohoo!! What joyous news!!! Precious gift like no other indeed.
The entire family must be thrilled and over the moon in love with that baby. Well wishes to mom and dad, grandmas and grandpas, you, and the rest of yours for sure Shayne!
But Charlie, and all those whose names are written in the Book of Life and who have gone on before, have no need of clocks and calendars.
They are, in the presence of Christ, ageless and timeless.
Their tears have been wiped away, their pain forgotten, their sorrow erased.
They have been made new.
From their lips rings eternal praise to the King of kings.
It is a melody of such beauty, earth cannot hear.
And when our time here is complete, in the blink of an eye, we have only to join them there.
Where they will have just begun to sing.
Hallelujah.
ā«ļø
And a voice came from the throne, saying, āGive praise to our God, all you His bond-servants, you who fear Him, the small and the great.ā Then I heard something like the voice of a great multitude and like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, saying, āHallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.
ā Revelation 19:5-6 NAS95
ā«ļø
May God Most High see fit to grant us healing, to bring about repentance in and justice for the guilty, and carry us victoriously onward until that day when we join the heavenly chorus before His throne.
"And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians; and they shall fight everyone against his brother, and everyone against their neighbor: city shall fight against city, and kingdom against kingdom." Isaiah XlX:2
The program of the World Order remains the same; Divide and Conquer.
Every action has a reaction. At the one year anniversary of Charlie Kirkās assassination I wanted to bring up how his murder changed the trajectory of so much. By taking him out we will never know what a massive impact his life would have had. I believe the motives for his assassination were those changes in trajectory.
When I think of the vicious murder by Lindsey Clansey of her own 3 children and how the last thing those pour kids saw was their mother strangling them to death it brings tears to my eyes. How would those kids have turned out and their kids.At times I think about the millions of abortions that happen constantly and how many Einsteins, Ronald Reagans, Mother Teresaās or FDRās we have murdered? How many generations of good people have we eliminated?
It is a sick society that allows the murder of their own children. The 50 plus years of abortion on demand in this country has conditioned so many to devalue the lives of babies, children, even their own offspring to be murdered by their own hand. If Clancy had been found not guilty by reason of insanity, do you realize what a murderous precedent would have been set for any other depressed or deranged mother to murder her children and claim postpartum depression? What a diabolical excuse.! That woman is totally responsible for the murder of her children, no excuses whatsoever. Not guilty by reason of insanity is a total fabricated lie from the pit of hell. God is the ultimate judge, and she will be held accountable for her crimes. What a brave lone juror to hold out with just reasoning to uphold truth. Those other eleven have fallen prey to the disease of toxic empathy, and that type of thinking is rampant in our culture, with increasingly tragic results for many of our fellow Americans.
I reposted Trumpās meme about the flag, covering all of Canada, Greenland, Cuba, Iceland, and Mexico on Facebook and the usual suspects were losing their minds over it! Good times!
Itās sort of like the ding-dong-ditch fun they had as kids, snickering from the bushes as the homeowner waves his fists into the night. Only these days we just throw a meme at the sensitive. š
I honestly believe that Trump isn't the one doing the meme's that he's got a person, or team of persons, doing them. Maybe he throws out some ideas and such, and he probably approves them, but I don't think he's actually creating them.
I would not be at all surprised if his rule is 'if it makes me laugh, post it!'.
And that there are probably competitions to see how long they can make him laugh.
But their manipulation of the public mind is to make them believe he actually sits down at a computer and designs them himself rather than doing the important work of the country. Thatās basically what they are accusing him of. Anyone that believes that exposes their lack of critical thought, and should be mocked and memed relentlessly.
It always cracks me up that people think he spends all day on his phone.I guess it's frame of reference. He gets more done in a day than most do all year. I sincerely doubt he spends hours searching out memes . People act like he is creating them.
Of course he has people posting for him.
Hate him or love him no one can deny the man works hard and has accomplished more in these 2 terms than any President in my life time.
Sorry, that ship has sailed, since you all never said ANYTHING about Biden being an "enemy of presidential dignity," you have no leg to stand on now. I don't want to hear it!!
Exactly. They rewrite presidential dignity into a Hollywood screenplay, used Hollywood to do it too to hide reality.
But the minute they hosted topless trans on the White House lawn, and fawned over it, that lost them their right to ever point a finger about presidential dignity.
Trump has that dignity in spades actually, authentic too. They hate that.
It doesn't bother me that the NYT or various Congresscritters say things like ātruly unhinged,ā ādangerous,ā and potentially unfit for office, āever wilder,ā āever more outrageous,ā ābizarre,ā āabnormal,ā āfrenetic,ā āgrandiose,ā ābelligerent,ā ādelusional,ā āauthoritarian,ā āimperialist,ā and evidence that he may have ālost his mind.ā
What bothers me is that these things are then picked up by the rest of the media and social media and become broadly believed on the left. Not the hard left, but the leftists we all know in our lives (my sisters for one, well 2 out of 3 of them).
What would The NY Times and the Mainstream Media do if they didnāt have Trump to bash? Who would subsidize their losing business model, if they didnāt have Trump to bash?
Posted this separately, but I was already starting to wonder if the "NYT's - The Next Generation" somehow played into the back story to all hypocrisy we see it spew. I've seen some of my own family members falling for the Commies - just like they fell for the mRNA jabs; (and sadly the only only one's in a very large family with unusual illnesses lately seems to be the one's who did so š)... In any event - here's what I shared and what I found most hilarious what the Portland Readers connection and Biden hiding in his basement... even from the NYTs:
Since the key voting stock of the NY times is family Owned.The overdue question is: Ā "Who" is the N.Y. Times...
It's easy to hate on Wiki - but found this summary useful:
"Arthur Gregg Sulzberger is an American journalist, chairman of the New York Times Company, and publisher of its flagship newspaper, The New York Times..."
Current Publisher of the N.Y. Times:
Brown University with Degree in Political Science
Then "News" jobs in:
Providence, RI - 2yrs
Portland, Oregon - 3yr .... "PORTLAND READERS!"
Then back to family business at NY Times. in 2009...
Wife is NPR reporter: Ā Molly Messick (since 2018)
On December 14, 2017, it was announced that Sulzberger would take over as publisher on January 1, 2018. He is the sixth member of the Ochs-Sulzberger family in the role.[4][33]Ā Though The New York Times Company is public, all voting shares are controlled by the Ochs-Sulzberger Family Trust.
.....
He became publisher on January 1, 2018,[37]Ā succeeding his fatherĀ Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr.,[28]Ā although the elder Sulzberger remainedĀ chairmanĀ of The New York Times Company until the end of 2020.[38]Ā Sulzberger became the chairman of The New York Times Company on January 1, 2021.
.....
Sulzberger met with PresidentĀ Donald TrumpĀ at theĀ White HouseĀ on July 20, 2018.....
Sulzberger said in a statement that at the meeting, he "told the president directly that I thought that his [anti-press] language was not just divisive but increasingly dangerous. I warned that this inflammatory language is contributing to a rise in threats against journalists and will lead to violence."
.....
Sulzberger met with President Trump in theĀ Oval OfficeĀ a second time, on January 31, 2019, for an on-the-record interview
.....
AĀ PoliticoĀ report detailed that Sulzberger made a sit-down interview with PresidentĀ Joe BidenĀ a priority for the newspaper, which claims to have interviewed every sitting president sinceĀ Franklin D. Roosevelt.[48]Ā Despite efforts to secure an interview, including appeals from Sulzberger directly to Vice PresidentĀ Kamala Harris, the White House did not allow theĀ TimesĀ the same level of access to Biden as it did during the first Trump Administration.
.....
In a statement fromĀ The New York Times, an uncredited spokesperson responded to the story emphasizing that it "should be troubling that President Biden has so actively and effectively avoided questions from independent journalists during his term", and the paper's commitment to a free press.
Trumpās public pledge last night of $5K to every American adult citizen if Rās win midterms (Trump Dividend) was unhinged. I also donāt appreciate middle school student body socialism. Was that a Trump āverbal memeā like the DOGE dividend and the tariff dividend that never materialized? Is Trump trolling his electorate?
I like 47 policies, but not the spending. Imagine if Biden or Obama pledged this. Oh wait, they kinda did, in different formats for different subsets of people. Which is why Trump should not do the same. These are sort of antics that show me Donald is getting a bit long in the tooth.
Iām confused. ā Police in Chatham County, Georgia, are searching for a man who allegedly broke into somebody elseās backyard, swam in the pool, relaxed in the hot tub, became āobsessedā with a rubber duck, stole $1,200 worth of pool towels, and escaped on a bicycle.āā¦. Isnāt this what half our countryās people want??? SOCIALISM!? Isnāt all this rise of communist mayors and governors and mkultra continuously repetitive media propaganda FOR SOCIALISM the actual point? Soā¦. whatās wrong with a swim in anyoneās pool that has a pool and hot tub and amorous rubber duckyā¦ because you donāt? Socialism right? Share everything including your paycheck, home, pool, hot tub and toysā¦ um, that would include cars and boats and motorcycles and whatever else you covet of your neighborsā¦ am I right?
Oddly, there were a half-dozen 'likes' on this BEFORE the C&C email dropped into my inbox...
The secret to being first apparently involves repeatedly hitting "Refresh" on the C&C website until the latest one pops, and then commenting without having read a single word of the post. Unsatisfying...
The irony, quite obviously lost on them, is that the NYT drew a perfect portrait of themselves, as an old man,red-faced and sweaty, struggling behind a vintage manual push mower screaming at the neighborhood kid to get off his lawn.
Untold detail: The guy interacting with the rubber duck in the Georgia swimming pool looks very much like Freddie Mercury. This is my favorite story of the month, and it's only the 10th. Much better journalism than the NY Times.
When I got to the end, I had to scroll back up to make sure the state was not Florida. Seems like Georgia is competing with Florida for "Florida Man" status. š
For thirty years before he ran for office, Donald Trump quietly paid mortgages, flew sick children across the country, and wrote checks to strangers who needed help. You will not find those stories on the evening news. So here they are.

Thank you. Copied and saved to my notes app so Iām ready with a reply the next time I read an unfair smear about Trump.
These stories are very moving. I had heard some previously, but this is worth saving.
Hi Dave! Hope youāre doing well.
Took me a minute, but I did the same!
I copied list to Chat GPT and he verified most of them.
me too.
the answer is simple - he is a republican first and second that constantly humiliates them and if there is anything leftists hate it is to be embarrassed/humiliated
Thatās because they like to do that to others following Rules for Radicals. Well Trump has turned the tables on them.
the leftist can't remember all their lies.

Very well done
I can't help it: I fact checked this list. All are true except:
1991 Trump Shuttle/marines (not quite as presented, please look up)
1995 good Samaritan helping with the limo's flat (has all the hallmarks of an urban legend, but very entertaining)
1996 Palm Beach being sued for civil rights issues (this one is nuanced. Jews and blacks were part of the picture, but not quite as presented.)
Probably better amend the list before sharing further.
I would love to post this on facebook with the proper credit. Is that something you would be okay with? I understand if not, but I wanted to check.
This is absolutely sensational....and just a suggestion: can you cite the sources for all of us, because we're lazy, and likely will need attribution in the face of TDS.
Thatās a lot of citations. We each can do that same footwork ourselves if itās needed
Any good AI search engine can do that. Why don't you deploy a few keystrokes YOURSELF ... or we're gonna register you as a Democrat voter!
Thanks, Frank.
I suppose part of it is that the others you mentioned never made their own money, they were always busy conning it out of others for nothing except their Machiavellianism.

What about all the Epstein rapings? Do they not count for anything?
Charlie Kirk was a martyr for his faith. Miss him.
Amen! Erika Kirk was in my prayers first this morning.
Amen. Genuine question: do you give any credence to the conspiracy theories Candace has been sparking? When I took an earnest look/listen to what people were saying, there is enough fishiness to convince me that whatever happened, it's definitely not the official narrative.

No. He was a murdered because ehe said he could no longer support the Israel cause.

Say to those with an anxious heart,
āBe strong, fear not.
Behold, your God will come with vengeance;
The recompense of God will come,
But He will save you.ā
ā Isaiah 35:4 LSB

Here we mark time.
Days. Weeks. One year. A quarter of a century.
But Charlie, and all those whose names are written in the Book of Life and who have gone on before, have no need of clocks and calendars.
They are, in the presence of Christ, ageless and timeless.
Their tears have been wiped away, their pain forgotten, their sorrow erased.
They have been made new.
From their lips rings eternal praise to the King of kings.
It is a melody of such beauty, earth cannot hear.
And when our time here is complete, in the blink of an eye, we have only to join them there.
Where they will have just begun to sing.
Hallelujah.

And a voice came from the throne, saying, āGive praise to our God, all you His bond-servants, you who fear Him, the small and the great.ā Then I heard something like the voice of a great multitude and like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, saying, āHallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.
ā Revelation 19:5-6 NAS95

May God Most High see fit to grant us healing, to bring about repentance in and justice for the guilty, and carry us victoriously onward until that day when we join the heavenly chorus before His throne.
Tomorrow is the second anniversary of the death of my dad. I can really feel this in my heart today. Iām going to send it to my mom. š Thank you!

Hallelujah! And Amen!

Every action has a reaction. At the one year anniversary of Charlie Kirkās assassination I wanted to bring up how his murder changed the trajectory of so much. By taking him out we will never know what a massive impact his life would have had. I believe the motives for his assassination were those changes in trajectory.
When I think of the vicious murder by Lindsey Clansey of her own 3 children and how the last thing those pour kids saw was their mother strangling them to death it brings tears to my eyes. How would those kids have turned out and their kids.At times I think about the millions of abortions that happen constantly and how many Einsteins, Ronald Reagans, Mother Teresaās or FDRās we have murdered? How many generations of good people have we eliminated?
It is a sick society that allows the murder of their own children. The 50 plus years of abortion on demand in this country has conditioned so many to devalue the lives of babies, children, even their own offspring to be murdered by their own hand. If Clancy had been found not guilty by reason of insanity, do you realize what a murderous precedent would have been set for any other depressed or deranged mother to murder her children and claim postpartum depression? What a diabolical excuse.! That woman is totally responsible for the murder of her children, no excuses whatsoever. Not guilty by reason of insanity is a total fabricated lie from the pit of hell. God is the ultimate judge, and she will be held accountable for her crimes. What a brave lone juror to hold out with just reasoning to uphold truth. Those other eleven have fallen prey to the disease of toxic empathy, and that type of thinking is rampant in our culture, with increasingly tragic results for many of our fellow Americans.
and to think only one man in the jury held out-- ONE! sickening.
I am sorry about Massachusetts James, Minnesota is nearly as crazy. . .
I reposted Trumpās meme about the flag, covering all of Canada, Greenland, Cuba, Iceland, and Mexico on Facebook and the usual suspects were losing their minds over it! Good times!
Yes. That is always fun and much more entertaining than anything on TV.
I like the idea.
Hopefully, less Nations, less "Managers" this way.
Itās sort of like the ding-dong-ditch fun they had as kids, snickering from the bushes as the homeowner waves his fists into the night. Only these days we just throw a meme at the sensitive. š
Donāt you just LOVE poking the bear sometimes?? š¤£š¤£š¤£
I honestly believe that Trump isn't the one doing the meme's that he's got a person, or team of persons, doing them. Maybe he throws out some ideas and such, and he probably approves them, but I don't think he's actually creating them.
I would not be at all surprised if his rule is 'if it makes me laugh, post it!'.
And that there are probably competitions to see how long they can make him laugh.
Actually at least half of them are just reposts of a meme that someone else posted elsewhere that he thought was funny. And they ARE funny.
I think Trump is hysterical! I love his wit, he IS so awesome
True
I agree. He may approve them but donāt think he makes them.
But their manipulation of the public mind is to make them believe he actually sits down at a computer and designs them himself rather than doing the important work of the country. Thatās basically what they are accusing him of. Anyone that believes that exposes their lack of critical thought, and should be mocked and memed relentlessly.
Like say a typical Democrat?
It always cracks me up that people think he spends all day on his phone.I guess it's frame of reference. He gets more done in a day than most do all year. I sincerely doubt he spends hours searching out memes . People act like he is creating them.
Of course he has people posting for him.
Hate him or love him no one can deny the man works hard and has accomplished more in these 2 terms than any President in my life time.
Not that he gets any credit for it.
--"and an āenemy of presidential dignity.ā
Sorry, that ship has sailed, since you all never said ANYTHING about Biden being an "enemy of presidential dignity," you have no leg to stand on now. I don't want to hear it!!
Exactly! My thought is until he š© š at an event, he is Nowhere close to diminishing presidential dignity! š¤
Not to mention wandering off all the time and looking like he had no idea where he was!
Getting routinely lost on stage, priceless.
Exactly. They rewrite presidential dignity into a Hollywood screenplay, used Hollywood to do it too to hide reality.
But the minute they hosted topless trans on the White House lawn, and fawned over it, that lost them their right to ever point a finger about presidential dignity.
Trump has that dignity in spades actually, authentic too. They hate that.
Yup that was yet another low point on the "dignity" scale!
Not only Biden. There was LBJ who was a foul mouthed vulgar man and canāt forget Bill Clinton and his hijinks in the Oval Office.
It doesn't bother me that the NYT or various Congresscritters say things like ātruly unhinged,ā ādangerous,ā and potentially unfit for office, āever wilder,ā āever more outrageous,ā ābizarre,ā āabnormal,ā āfrenetic,ā āgrandiose,ā ābelligerent,ā ādelusional,ā āauthoritarian,ā āimperialist,ā and evidence that he may have ālost his mind.ā
What bothers me is that these things are then picked up by the rest of the media and social media and become broadly believed on the left. Not the hard left, but the leftists we all know in our lives (my sisters for one, well 2 out of 3 of them).
That's dangerous.
What would The NY Times and the Mainstream Media do if they didnāt have Trump to bash? Who would subsidize their losing business model, if they didnāt have Trump to bash?
May they have a long future of Republican presidents to bash! š
I mean American First Presidents!!
My sister gets all her lefty stuff from The View and The Meidas Touch Utube channel.
Posted this separately, but I was already starting to wonder if the "NYT's - The Next Generation" somehow played into the back story to all hypocrisy we see it spew. I've seen some of my own family members falling for the Commies - just like they fell for the mRNA jabs; (and sadly the only only one's in a very large family with unusual illnesses lately seems to be the one's who did so š)... In any event - here's what I shared and what I found most hilarious what the Portland Readers connection and Biden hiding in his basement... even from the NYTs:
Since the key voting stock of the NY times is family Owned.The overdue question is: Ā "Who" is the N.Y. Times...
It's easy to hate on Wiki - but found this summary useful:
"Arthur Gregg Sulzberger is an American journalist, chairman of the New York Times Company, and publisher of its flagship newspaper, The New York Times..."
Current Publisher of the N.Y. Times:
Brown University with Degree in Political Science
Then "News" jobs in:
Providence, RI - 2yrs
Portland, Oregon - 3yr .... "PORTLAND READERS!"
Then back to family business at NY Times. in 2009...
Wife is NPR reporter: Ā Molly Messick (since 2018)
Above & below from:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._G._Sulzberger
(Selective outline):
On December 14, 2017, it was announced that Sulzberger would take over as publisher on January 1, 2018. He is the sixth member of the Ochs-Sulzberger family in the role.[4][33]Ā Though The New York Times Company is public, all voting shares are controlled by the Ochs-Sulzberger Family Trust.
.....
He became publisher on January 1, 2018,[37]Ā succeeding his fatherĀ Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr.,[28]Ā although the elder Sulzberger remainedĀ chairmanĀ of The New York Times Company until the end of 2020.[38]Ā Sulzberger became the chairman of The New York Times Company on January 1, 2021.
.....
Sulzberger met with PresidentĀ Donald TrumpĀ at theĀ White HouseĀ on July 20, 2018.....
Sulzberger said in a statement that at the meeting, he "told the president directly that I thought that his [anti-press] language was not just divisive but increasingly dangerous. I warned that this inflammatory language is contributing to a rise in threats against journalists and will lead to violence."
.....
Sulzberger met with President Trump in theĀ Oval OfficeĀ a second time, on January 31, 2019, for an on-the-record interview
.....
AĀ PoliticoĀ report detailed that Sulzberger made a sit-down interview with PresidentĀ Joe BidenĀ a priority for the newspaper, which claims to have interviewed every sitting president sinceĀ Franklin D. Roosevelt.[48]Ā Despite efforts to secure an interview, including appeals from Sulzberger directly to Vice PresidentĀ Kamala Harris, the White House did not allow theĀ TimesĀ the same level of access to Biden as it did during the first Trump Administration.
.....
In a statement fromĀ The New York Times, an uncredited spokesperson responded to the story emphasizing that it "should be troubling that President Biden has so actively and effectively avoided questions from independent journalists during his term", and the paper's commitment to a free press.
..... š¤®
Trumpās public pledge last night of $5K to every American adult citizen if Rās win midterms (Trump Dividend) was unhinged. I also donāt appreciate middle school student body socialism. Was that a Trump āverbal memeā like the DOGE dividend and the tariff dividend that never materialized? Is Trump trolling his electorate?
I like 47 policies, but not the spending. Imagine if Biden or Obama pledged this. Oh wait, they kinda did, in different formats for different subsets of people. Which is why Trump should not do the same. These are sort of antics that show me Donald is getting a bit long in the tooth.
Matt L. The Democrats have done things like offering free college, canceling student loan debt, Medicare for all, reparations, etc.
In fairness, the duck did offer to pay for the towels. She said "put it on my bill" š¤š¤š¤
Oh man you really made me laugh with that one :P :D Love this comment section!
"the New York Times puts Trumpās memes on the couch and accidentally diagnoses itself"
I would've written:
"accidentally diagnoses THE MENTALLY ILL READERSHIP IT HAS DELIBERATELY CULTIVATED OVER THE PAST FEW DECADES"
But that's just me.
Pretty sure Trump has a social media team. For crying out loud.
I bet they're a hoot to work with!
I was thinking the same.
My guess is the more 2200 word article the NYT publishes the more the memes will continue.
It would be so awesome if he posted a meme about their article. š¤£š¤£š¤£
A meme about a meme article becomes todayās meme.
Iām confused. ā Police in Chatham County, Georgia, are searching for a man who allegedly broke into somebody elseās backyard, swam in the pool, relaxed in the hot tub, became āobsessedā with a rubber duck, stole $1,200 worth of pool towels, and escaped on a bicycle.āā¦. Isnāt this what half our countryās people want??? SOCIALISM!? Isnāt all this rise of communist mayors and governors and mkultra continuously repetitive media propaganda FOR SOCIALISM the actual point? Soā¦. whatās wrong with a swim in anyoneās pool that has a pool and hot tub and amorous rubber duckyā¦ because you donāt? Socialism right? Share everything including your paycheck, home, pool, hot tub and toysā¦ um, that would include cars and boats and motorcycles and whatever else you covet of your neighborsā¦ am I right?
As gato malo says "Meme them until they cry, then make memes about them crying."
I think secretly, they love it. I'm sure it's the only thing that is keeping them in business.
First?
Yep! ššš
Oddly, there were a half-dozen 'likes' on this BEFORE the C&C email dropped into my inbox...
The secret to being first apparently involves repeatedly hitting "Refresh" on the C&C website until the latest one pops, and then commenting without having read a single word of the post. Unsatisfying...
Well done you!!!!
The irony, quite obviously lost on them, is that the NYT drew a perfect portrait of themselves, as an old man,red-faced and sweaty, struggling behind a vintage manual push mower screaming at the neighborhood kid to get off his lawn.
I kinda miss my old push mower.
Untold detail: The guy interacting with the rubber duck in the Georgia swimming pool looks very much like Freddie Mercury. This is my favorite story of the month, and it's only the 10th. Much better journalism than the NY Times.
When I got to the end, I had to scroll back up to make sure the state was not Florida. Seems like Georgia is competing with Florida for "Florida Man" status. š
Itās funny looking at the picture I sensed I had seen him before (I donāt have $1,200 towels).
Also he looked very fit in the bike photo.
He really does! :D
