Update: For those who think we’re blowing smoke in this article with our argument that President Trump will easily win reelection and they base their counterargument on the “polls”. We’ve written before about the “smart” or “shy” Trump voters who don’t want to be targeted as “racists” by the Obama Dimocrat racebaiters so they lie and will “riot” in November. From Trump hating Politico – “Trump has a point about the polls – Some pollsters are still grappling with the same problems that plagued battleground state surveys four years ago.”

——————————————————————-

Timing. You have to wait sometimes until matters ripen. You don’t just walk into a battle without plans or until your army is ready. Fortunately, President Trump is a master chess player and strategist who understands how to fight and how to win. Now that President Trump sees the public anger is boiling hot and the weak-kneed exposed, he begins the counterattack.

Rush Limbaugh expressed smart insight into the weak-kneed and timing the political moment:

You Feel Alone Because You’re Not Seeing Any Pushback RUSH: Say, folks, try to calm down, will you? Just try to calm down. I’m gonna do my best to make people calm down, but I’m being overwhelmed with defeatist and fatalistic emails to the point that I said, “What’s the point of coming back?” I understand it, and it’s frustrating. I will try to give you an alternative way to look at this, which I’ve been doing for 30 years, but I have to do it each and every day, such is the power of the Drive-By Media.[snip] Let me share with you a couple of emails. “Dear Rush: I have many friends who are dispirited and feel hopeless about Trump’s reelection. They’re all watching too damn much news on television. They are overwhelmed with indoctrinating newscasts. Yet they fully realize the Democrat Party has gone insane. But they can’t seem to turn it off like you’ve advised them to do. They can’t turn it off, and it’s demoralizing them like I’ve never seen or heard before. And they can’t make the connection that if they know the Democrats are insane, then like half or more of the country knows the Democrats are insane.” [snip] The best way to illustrate is I get a phone call from somebody who will point out an outrageous example of media bias anywhere — CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, whatever — and they will think they’re the only person that saw it. And therefore they gotta tell me about it so that I tell everybody else. They are the only person that saw it. In other examples, they’re the only person that figured out it was biased. Everybody else is getting fooled by it. And I’ve tried to make the claim, you’re not alone. Whatever you think you’re the only one seeing, trust me, you’re not by any stretch of the imagination the only one seeing it. Talking about the rampant, whatever you want to call it, unfairness, bias, activism, whatever it is that you’re noting that’s dispiriting you and making you mad in the media, everybody’s noticing it. The problem is that everybody thinks nobody else is noticing it and that they’re getting away with it.

That’s exactly correct. People think everyone else is fooled by Big Media and so they become desperate and hysterical. But, as Limbaugh points out in a very good analysis (that should be read in full) even the Dimocrats know that it is Dimocrat cities (many with black mayors or police chiefs) that are in flames and the people in the Dimocrat or purple suburbs know it too. Really, we are not alone. Everyone sees what we see even if they can’t or don’t express it as well as we do.

Limbaugh points out that the anxiety comes from people not seeing any “pushback” on many fronts as the totalitarian left pushes its totalitarian agenda forward. We know however that Napoleon sometimes let his defenses appear weak at the very center in order to entice an attack. When the attack comes there is a feint fallback in the center defenses but eventually comes the counterattack when the flanks envelop then move in to crush the attacking army. Think about “Defund the Police” and what a disaster that line of attack is for Obama Dimocrats.

To add to the anger and frustration Limbaugh notes what we all have seen and that is the growing hatred of President Trump at Fox News:

“There are defections at the Fox News Channel. There now seems to be outright hatred for Trump among some of the people there.” Names are mentioned here, but I’m not gonna get into the distraction of naming name. It’s enough to acknowledge that it’s happening and that people are noticing it, and when they notice that — when they notice that previous allies have now not just become neutral but they’ve become anti-Trump — that’s dispiriting as well.

The weak-kneed see all of the above and begin to parrot foolishness or worse, to become defeatist numbskulls. Then the cycle repeats and repeats into a shame and anger spiral. Clueless.

The President Trump rally this coming Saturday signals the “pushback”, the counterattack. That’s why the President Trump rally has to be stopped by Big Media.

Recall how back in August 2015 we declared that if President Trump was allowed on the debate stage for the second GOP debate, the battle for the nomination and the presidency would be over and candidate Trump would win both. “As we approach the second GOP debate on September 16 it is an imperative for the establishment that Donald J. Trump be stopped and prevented from appearing on the debate stage. To fail means millions more viewers will fall under the Trump trance.” All during that time, Fox News was constantly attacking Trump too, so nothing much has changed. In 2020 we understand that the President Trump rally on Saturday performs the same role as the second debate did back in 2015.

On Saturday millions of sad and pathetic supporters of President Trump who have been moping and hysterical will see the counterattack happen and will be able to participate in the “pushback”. Instead of whining and masochistic visions of defeat, the weak-kneed will see President Trump surrounded by many like-minded supporters whom some thought had disappeared. Again, as we wrote some many times before in the 2016 election cycle, “the medium is the message” and the message on Saturday is that President Trump has massive support and that support grows more solid with every riot, every burned building, every abused cop, every totalitarian left demand for obedience.

On Saturday, perhaps even greater lessons will once again be relearned. First among these is that THE ENEMY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IS BIG MEDIA.

During 2015 we often mocked leftist Matt Bai Taibbi for his idiotic commentary on candidate Trump (which frequently mimicked Fox News’ hatred of Trump). In 2020 we admit that Matt Bai Taibbi has written one of the best summaries of the current Big Media leftist totalitarian madness (that should be read in full not just in our excerpts, except for the required usual hatred of Trump which is nonsensical in keeping with Bai’s Taibbi’s history of stupidity):

The American Press Is Destroying Itself A flurry of newsroom revolts has transformed the American press [snip] It feels liberating to say after years of tiptoeing around the fact, but the American left has lost its mind. It’s become a cowardly mob of upper-class social media addicts, Twitter Robespierres who move from discipline to discipline torching reputations and jobs with breathtaking casualness. The leaders of this new movement are replacing traditional liberal beliefs about tolerance, free inquiry, and even racial harmony with ideas so toxic and unattractive that they eschew debate, moving straight to shaming, threats, and intimidation. [snip] They’ve conned organization after organization into empowering panels to search out thoughtcrime, and it’s established now that anything can be an offense, from a UCLA professor placed under investigation for reading Martin Luther King’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” out loud to a data scientist fired* from a research firm for — get this — retweeting an academic study suggesting nonviolent protests may be more politically effective than violent ones! Now, this madness is coming for journalism. Beginning on Friday, June 5th, a series of controversies rocked the media. By my count, at least eight news organizations dealt with internal uprisings (it was likely more). Most involved groups of reporters and staffers demanding the firing or reprimand of colleagues who’d made politically “problematic” editorial or social media decisions.

Matt Bai Taibbi is too dense to understand that the madness started with “journalism” and became de rigeur for the political establishment of the left afterwards. At least Bai Taibbi understands the Tom Cotton disaster for Big Media:

In the most discussed incident, Times editorial page editor James Bennet was ousted for green-lighting an anti-protest editorial by Arkansas Republican Senator Tom Cotton entitled, “Send in the troops.” [snip] Cotton did not call for “military force against protesters in American cities.” He spoke of a “show of force,” to rectify a situation a significant portion of the country saw as spiraling out of control. It’s an important distinction. Cotton was presenting one side of the most important question on the most important issue of a critically important day in American history. As Cotton points out in the piece, he was advancing a view arguably held by a majority of the country. A Morning Consult poll showed 58% of Americans either strongly or somewhat supported the idea of “calling in the U.S. military to supplement city police forces.” That survey included 40% of self-described “liberals” and 37% of African-Americans. To declare a point of view held by that many people not only not worthy of discussion, but so toxic that publication of it without even necessarily agreeing requires dismissal, is a dramatic reversal for a newspaper that long cast itself as the national paper of record. Incidentally, that same poll cited by Cotton showed that 73% of Americans described protecting property as “very important,” while an additional 16% considered it “somewhat important.” This means the Philadelphia Inquirer editor was fired for running a headline – “Buildings matter, too” – that the poll said expressed a view held by 89% of the population, including 64% of African-Americans.

Many Trump supporters became angst ridden hysterics watching the Tom Cotton disaster unfold alongside so many other similar disasters. Instead of celebrating the self-destruction by Big Media the weak-kneed suffered thinking no one could see the horror displayed so pornographically.

Trump supporters should have rejoiced as a majority of the country agreed with them. Instead, hysteria. Big Media exposed itself like a hooker at the Reeperbahn yet few rejoiced as the truth was splayed for all to see.

The American public was censored and vilified by Big Media and we all saw Big Media in full ugliness. Big Media once again proved concern for their colleagues and social mates matters more to them than the truth or the American public. The American public boils in anger:

Each passing day sees more scenes that recall something closer to cult religion than politics. White protesters in Floyd’s Houston hometown kneeling and praying to black residents for “forgiveness… for years and years of racism” are one thing, but what are we to make of white police in Cary, North Carolina, kneeling and washing the feet of Black pastors? What about Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer kneeling while dressed in “African kente cloth scarves”? There is symbolism here that goes beyond frustration with police or even with racism: these are orgiastic, quasi-religious, and most of all, deeply weird scenes, and the press is too paralyzed to wonder at it. [snip] On CNN, Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender was asked a hypothetical question about a future without police: “What if in the middle of the night, my home is broken into? Who do I call?” When Bender, who is white, answered, “I know that comes from a place of privilege,” questions popped to mind. Does privilege mean one should let someone break into one’s home, or that one shouldn’t ask that hypothetical question? (I was genuinely confused). In any other situation, a media person pounces on a provocative response to dig out its meaning, but an increasingly long list of words and topics are deemed too dangerous to discuss. The media in the last four years has devolved into a succession of moral manias. We are told the Most Important Thing Ever is happening for days or weeks at a time, until subjects are abruptly dropped and forgotten, but the tone of warlike emergency remains: from James Comey’s firing, to the deification of Robert Mueller, to the Brett Kavanaugh nomination, to the democracy-imperiling threat to intelligence “whistleblowers,” all those interminable months of Ukrainegate hearings (while Covid-19 advanced), to fury at the death wish of lockdown violators, to the sudden reversal on that same issue, etc. It’s been learned in these episodes we may freely misreport reality, so long as the political goal is righteous. It was okay to publish the now-discredited Steele dossier, because Trump is scum. MSNBC could put Michael Avenatti on live TV to air a gang rape allegation without vetting, because who cared about Brett Kavanaugh – except press airing of that wild story ended up being a crucial factor in convincing key swing voter Maine Senator Susan Collins the anti-Kavanaugh campaign was a political hit job (the allegation illustrated, “why the presumption of innocence is so important,” she said). Reporters who were anxious to prevent Kavanaugh’s appointment, in other words, ended up helping it happen through overzealousness. There were no press calls for self-audits after those episodes, just as there won’t be a few weeks from now if Covid-19 cases spike, or a few months from now if Donald Trump wins re-election successfully painting the Democrats as supporters of violent protest who want to abolish police. No: press activism is limited to denouncing and shaming colleagues for insufficient fealty to the cheap knockoff of bullying campus Marxism that passes for leftist thought these days.

Matt Bai’s Taibbi’s very late observations about the madness of the totalitarian left and the corruptions of Big Media are faint echoes of what we wrote years ago. Bai Taibbi, is not alone with belated musings of the horrors they themselves created. Andrew Sullivan who attacked this website when we wrote similar observations now leaks milky loads of tears:

There is little or no liberal space in this revolutionary movement for genuine, respectful disagreement, regardless of one’s identity, or even open-minded exploration. In fact, there is an increasingly ferocious campaign to quell dissent, to chill debate, to purge those who ask questions, and to ruin people for their refusal to swallow this reductionist ideology whole. The orthodoxy goes further than suppressing contrary arguments and shaming any human being who makes them. It insists, in fact, that anything counter to this view is itself a form of violence against the oppressed.

Ben Smith who also attacked and lied about this website, likewise sheds crocodile tears about the self-destruction of Big Media. Trump hater Damon Linker also weeps acid tears about the Big Media corruptions and totalitarian left self-destruction he helped create:

In place of difficulty, complexity, and complication, today’s journalistic revolutionaries crave tidy moral lessons with clear villains and heroes. They champion simplicity, embrace moral uplift, and seek out evildoers to demonize. That’s how it is with crusades, whether theological or moral — they excuse words and deeds that in other contexts would be considered unacceptable. How many journalists have falsely testified that Cotton’s op-ed advocated shooting protesters when it did no such thing? How many routinely rip the president’s statements out of context in order to make him sound even worse than he does all on his own? Such errors reveal how the revolutionaries conceive of the “news” — as a fluid and malleable “truth” to be weaponized to advance the self-evident Higher Truth of justice as they understand it. We also see this at work in the way the newsroom rebels cloak their political goals in the bureaucratic language of human resources, complete with appeals to “workplace safety.” (Smith recounts how Times staffers outraged at Cotton’s op-ed strategized about how to respond before settling on a maximally potent viral tweet reading, “Running this puts Black @nytimes staff in danger.”)

Jonathan Chait joined in the circle jerk of self abuse for the sins he championed when relevant. Reason magazine elaborated on Chait’s ejaculate. Bret Stephen at the New York Times helped milk Chait with his own lubricant. At Politico, David Greenberg provided his own waste of time article bemoaning what has been apparent Big Media corruption for anyone willing to see.

The reason for all this angst from the very leftist totalitarians of Big Media is simple: they know Big Media coverage of President Trump is a pack of lies and the American People know it is a pack of lies. The worry is that the November elections approach and the economy is rapidly improving, Chinese CoronaVirus is ebbing as a political force, impeachment failed, Russia/Russia/Russia will soon be exposed as a Big Media Deep State attempted coup, and President Trump is about to begin the counterattack.

The counterattack “pushback” begins Saturday. Until then the leftist attacks against President Trump will not cease. Fortunately the “silent majority” know, as they prepare to vote in November, that President Trump does not cease working and is doing all he can to Make America Great Again.
