Like most Americans, I'm dumbfounded at the national media coverage of the presidential election. It's offensive and worse than tabloid journalism.
The press is supposed to be the eyes and ears of the American people. They are to report facts; not act as the communications team of their candidate of choice, who in this case, is Hillary Clinton.
Clinton’s team hijacked the election coverage, in collusion with the national media, which were recently confirmed in the WikiLeak e-mails. Media outlets who participated in advancing Clinton’s presidential campaign have declined to comment.
The collective frenzy in the media, including CNN, NBC, CBS, the New York Times and many journalists on Fox News, are attempting to derail Trump by smearing him about lewd comments he made 11 years ago.
A Trump victory is a threat to elitists' vision for a global, secular atheistic America. He would cut off of the political and financial spigots special interests profit from in Washington.
Trump is not without fault, but his political judgment has been tested in his selection of Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate.
A Trump presidency would be a win for small businesses, the poor, the middle class, upper middle class, free market capitalism, in effect, all of America.
A Trump victory would reduce the astronomical trade deficit and bring back manufacturing jobs to America.
Trump’s plan cuts corporate taxes by 20 percent, allowing businesses to grow, provide good salaries, and jobs for high school and college graduates.
A Trump presidency would eradicate the academic disaster of Common Core which has ruined the education of America’s children.
Absent from the media’s (selective) obsession of immorality is their lack of indignation regarding criminal acts of the Clintons.
“Lewdness” from Team Clinton includes a rape accusation from Juanita Broaddrick, by Bill Clinton, as well as his disgraceful use of the Oval Office as a personal brothel, with a 22-year-old intern, for which he was impeached and disbarred as a lawyer. Hillary repeatedly attempted to discredit those women.
It was reported that the majority of FBI and Justice Department officials said Clinton should have been charged and prosecuted in her email server breach. Bill Clinton met privately with Attorney General Loretta Lynch on a plane for 39 minutes the day before his wife was to be indicted.
Consequently, Hillary received a pass from the DOJ and the FBI for using her private, unsecured server as secretary of state to process classified information, and for deleting 33,000 emails after those emails were subpoenaed by Congress.
She paid to have the emails deleted and bleached with no record of her communications or "pay to play" with foreign nations regarding the Clinton Foundation.
Can you imagine, if Trump’s campaign manager, or campaign operative, suggested starting "a revolution" to overthrow the authority of the pope? Organize a “Catholic Spring” to infiltrate the Catholic Church, undermine their Magisterial doctrine, mock parents for raising children in the faith, and those of evangelical Christians? What if Trump denigrated the beliefs of Catholics or described them from “the Middle Ages?” These are comments just revealed in emails with Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, John Podesta.
Where is the outrage from the media?
In their lust for power, establishment politicians, complicit with a liberal media, want business as usual to continue. A failing economy and $20 trillion in debt means nothing to them. It’s the Cloward-Piven strategy, a radical means to intentionally destroy financial stability, eradicate American Exceptionalism and, thus, America.
Clinton would continue Obama’s policies, raise taxes on job creators, who would then cut their employees, or their hours. The economy would shrink, and the 0-1 percent growth we have had would continue. That does not work, we know that from the past eight years.
In the WikiLeaks emails Clinton stated: “My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders." Her fairytale platform of “Stronger Together” was uncovered. In reality, it's a condescending attitude that the elite of this country, “together” with other globalists, will rule the rest of us. Main Street can take a hike.
It was also revealed in the WikiLeaks that Clinton stated this: "Politicians need 'public and private' personas in order to operate effectively." When questioned about this remark in the debate, Clinton replied she was talking about a Stephen Spielberg movie regarding Abraham Lincoln.
At stake in 2016 is the right to life, the rule of law, the Second amendment, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, the defense of the Constitution, a prosperous economy, a sovereign nation with borders secured from terrorists and criminal aliens; in effect, the greater good of America.
A new poll came out revealing the three most important issues with voters in this election: government corruption, terrorism and the future of the economy.
There are two viable candidates, but only one of them has committed to solving those critical issues facing America.
The only one with the knowledge and will to fix America is Donald Trump. He loves his country. Let us pray that he wins.
