Hagzilla’s bogus popular vote

Think about it. All these wounded Democrats crowing about how the Hildabitch won the popular vote and so the electoral college is meaningless, etc. and she should be handed the presidency.

Except… Her more than 4 million popular votes more than Trump were in California alone. A good chunk of them very likely illegals, felons and the dead. She won one state and he won 49. Popular vote wise.

More fake news

The WaPo (who else besides the NYslimes?) is whining about Trump’s retired generals—two in the cabinet and one as an adviser. Even pretending there has been independent (as opposed to WaPo generated) concern about a military dictatorship-in-the-making.

Such a selective memory, these Democrat lapdogs display when it’s convenient to their politics. In 2008, president-elect Obama likewise nominated three flag officers, two generals and an admiral. There was nary a peep of concern.

UPDATE:  Meanwhile, right on schedule, after eight years of downplaying homelessness because it might reflect on the lousy Democrat economy, guess what the Democrat lapdog media is suddenly concerned about? Yep.

Rule 5: Ivanka Trump

President Elect Trump’s secret weapon: His eldest daughter, an executive veep of his empire, who reportedly is his muse and who convinced him to run for president. Not bad for an Orthodox Jew. She. Modern Orthodox, of course.

UPDATE:  Except for the inevitable hyperbole that even the conservative New York Post indulges (I seriously doubt “the public was outraged” at her selling a  line of dresses and jewelry), this is a pretty good profile of her.

Fireside tweets

“But FDR made people feel like he cared, even though he was a rich man from New York who had never been poor himself. Now another rich man from New York seems to be repeating the formula. FDR gave the Democrats two decades of political dominance. Today’s Democrats should be worrying that Trump could do the same for the Republican Party.”

Once he’s vetoed a few of their ill-considered bills and they’ve moved into cooperation mode. Although we can only hope Trump doesn’t turn into an FDR with a blizzard of new agencies. Seems unlikely for a man who wants to cut taxes and prune business regulations. Shoot, he might even cancel a few agencies.

But my favorite of his early policies isn’t the fireside tweet. It’s the way he’s turned meet the press into delete the press. They need him. He sure as hell doesn’t need them.

Trump and China

Trump is right to talk to Taiwan. Whenever he chooses. On whatever grounds. Let China bitch. We have bowed down to them for too long—8 long years to be precise.

Our little Barry Hussein, the U.S.’s bower-in-chief, has all but prostrated himself before one tyrant after another. Our resident weakling.

“In April of 2010 at international meeting in Washington Obama bowed deeply (a submissive gesture) to Hu [Jintao].  [China’s paramount leader] Hu stood erect and stared at Obama ( sign of dominance),” recalled WSJ commenter Rick Williams.

Can you imagine Trump bowing to any foreign leader? Queen Elizabeth, you say? I wouldn’t bet on it.

The President-Elect’s New Mind Set

Building the southern border wall could happen a lot sooner than you think.

“Trump has a completely different mind set than a politician. Sean Hannity asked him how long it would take for him to set up a group to study what needs to be done to improve boarder security. Trump looked at him like he had two heads. I’m not going to do that, Trump answered. I’m going to ask the guys down there what they need and give it to them. A different way of doing business.”

No more study-the-problem-to-death until it’s overshadowed by something else.

Trump is the new CEO

One of the coolest, most loyal celebrity supporters of President-Elect Trump is Scott Adams, creator-cartoonist of the Dilbert series. Here’s his take on what Trump is up to now:

“Trump is attacking the job like a seasoned CEO, not like a politician. He knows that his entire four-year term will be judged by what happens before it even starts. What he does today will determine how much support and political capital he has for his entire term.

“So what does a Master Persuader do when he needs to create a good first impression to last for years? He looks around for any opportunity that is visible, memorable, newsworthy, true to his brand, and easy to change. Enter Ford. Enter Carrier.”

I only remember one incoming new executive editor who followed this practice in my 35 years in the news biz and he soon tired of it and went back to the old way of doing business. It became what I called the “Great Leap In Place.” The whole newsroom enjoyed the rarified air of change for about a month before coming back down to the old reality. But that was the hypocritical news biz which is now in financial disarray, both because of Internet competition and it’s sold-out-to-the-Democrats misdealing with, yep, the new ceo Trump.
