The Media Needs to Be Revamped From Top to Bottom
The biased media in America needs a revamping of their role in this nation from the inside out.
None of this is surprising – we’ve seen the reports of over 90% negative coverage for President Trump, we know the ideological leanings of most major news anchors in this country.
It is overwhelmingly liberal.
There is no longer any reporting of facts on major news networks, there is only opining and slanted coverage.
The one arena where President Trump could get his message out to voters was social media, and the Big Tech companies joined establishment media this election season in suppressing information.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) recently questioned the CEOs of Facebook and Twitter about how they “are coordinating together to control information.”

Of course, Twitter labeled that claim of voter manipulation by tech giants as “disputed.”
Just as they have with every single post about concerns regarding the integrity of the election.

“For example, former Senator Barbara Boxer (D) served four terms in the Senate before retiring,” the Daily Wire noted.
“(A)nd Dianne Feinstein (D), the oldest member of the Senate, has won six races for her seat, including the 1992 special election that kicked off her D.C. career.”
Lee, at 74, likely wouldn’t hold the Senate seat for multiple terms. However, her decades of experience in Congress could make her a formidable opponent of Republicans.
Lee: ‘Donald Trump Is Going To Attack Any Woman, Especially Any Woman Of Color’
Regardless, if Barbara Lee fills the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by Kamala Harris, it will be one far-left Democrat taking the place of another.
Lee defended Harris on CNN in August.
“Donald Trump is going to attack any woman, especially any woman of color, any African American woman, and he’s going to attack any Democrat.” said Lee, dismissing Trump’s attacks on Sen. Kamala Harris.
“What Donald Trump has to say, that noise is going to go on,” she added.

That Lee is even a consideration to replace Harris is indicative enough of where today’s radicalized Democrat Party intends to take American politics and the country-at-large.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-11-25--Georgia GOP Senate Runoff Candidate Perdue Says He Will Fly AOC In To Campaign For His Opponent

U.S .
Senator David Perdue said he would buy a plane ticket for the radically liberal Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ( D-NY ) to come to Georgia and campaign for his opponent , Democrat Jon Ossoff , in the January runoff election .
NBC News Senior Digital Politics Reporter Alex Seitz-Wald reported , “ During a campaign stop Monday afternoon , Perdue reportedly said the New York Democrat was going to be down in Georgia , saying he wants her to come down to the state and that he will buy her ticket.
” RELATED : Trump Recovery Roars With Dow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Perdue On AOC : ‘ I ’ m Going To Buy Her A Ticket !

I ’ m going to buy her a ticket !
I want her to come down to Georgia .
We ’ ll have that debate.
” Sen. Kelly Loeffler is facing an important Georgia runoff election that will determine if Republicans keep the U.S. Senate .
Ocasio-Cortez is a self-described Democratic socialist whose radical “ Green New Deal , ” a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ climate change but that contains many big government items that have nothing to do with that goal , has an estimated price tag of up to $ 93 trillion over the course of a decade .
Former Congressional Budget Officer Director Douglas Holtz-Eakin says the plan would “ tally between $ 51 trillion and $ 93 trillion over 10-years.
” This “ plan ’ s ” cost would amount to about $ 650,000 per U.S. household .
That is not going to fly in Georgia .
No wonder Perdue wants to buy her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state .
Ocasio-Cortez tried to explain why she subscribes to “ democratic socialism ” in a 2019 Business Insider interview .
“ So when millennials talk about concepts like democratic socialism , we ’ re not talking about these kinds of ‘ Red Scare ’ boogeyman , ” she said .
“ We ’ re talking about countries and systems that already exist that have already been proven to be successful in the modern world.
” “ We ’ re talking about single-payer health care that has already been successful in many different @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the UK , ” Ocasio-Cortez added .
On Friday , Vice President Mike Pence traveled to Georgia to campaign for both Perdue and Loeffler .

“ For all we ’ ve done together , for all we have yet to do , we need the great state of Georgia to defend the majority , and the road to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state of Georgia , ” Pence told the crowd .
“ The Republican Senate majority could be the last line of defense for all that we ’ ve done to defend this nation , revive our economy , and preserve the God-given liberties that we hold dear , ” the Vice President added .
Perdue could be on to something in implying that Ocasio-Cortez has really become the ultimate secret weapon for the Republican Party .

Just one year ago , a Newsweek reporter was fired after running a fake news story that President Trump spent his Thanksgiving tweeting and golfing .
In reality , he had made a trip to Afghanistan to spend time with the troops .
“ How is Trump spending Thanksgiving ?
Tweeting , golfing and more , ” a headline from political journalist Jessica Kwong proclaimed .
The story began , “ As with any other day of the year , Trump will probably be tweeting , or expressing his opinions in another way.
” The President actually made an unannounced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and meet the Afghani President Ashraf Ghani to discuss bringing an end to the war .
Trump ’ s son called Kwong out at the time saying , “ fake news gon na fake , ” while the President himself joked , “ I thought Newsweek was out of business ?

Reporter Was Fired Over Fake News Story
Kwong was actually fired following the incident, despite Newsweek’s penchant for producing fake news on most days, not just holidays.
“Newsweek investigated the failures that led to the publication of the inaccurate report that President Trump spent Thanksgiving tweeting and golfing rather than visiting troops in Afghanistan,” a spokesperson reported at the time.
“The story has been corrected and the journalist responsible has been terminated.”

The President’s Past Thanksgivings
Aside from his 2019 surprise visit to the troops in 2019, President Trump has had other memorable Thanksgiving events.
In 2017, the President paid a visit to the Coast Guard, whose service members had been conducting rescue efforts during Hurricane Harvey.

In 2016, as President-elect, Trump proclaimed a message that should have – if Democrats weren’t the vile party of hatred they’d become – healed our country.
In the wake of a brutal election process, Trump extended an olive branch to those who opposed him.
“It’s my prayer that on this Thanksgiving, we begin to heal our divisions and move forward as one country, strengthened by shared purpose and very, very common resolve,” Trump said.
Instead, Democrats engaged in non-stop attacks against the President from day one.
Those attacks were more than likely responsible for incredible levels of dysfunction in America that helped create chaos when unity was necessary to fight off the pandemic that is affecting everybody’s Thanksgiving this year.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-11-25--5 Reasons To Be Thankful That Trump Defeated Hillary In 2016

Thanksgiving is a good time to reflect on the things you and your family are appreciative of in your lives .
America is no different as a whole .
America is better for having Trump as President the past four years , and for that , we can certainly be thankful for this holiday .
While it would be easy to simply say ‘ Thank God America was led by Donald Trump the last four years as opposed to Hillary Clinton ’ and leave it at that , there ’ s a little more substance to analyze .
Here are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that President Trump defeated Clinton in 2016 and helped to make America better these past four years .
Trump Reshaped the Federal Judiciary to Make America Better President Trump named three Supreme Court Justices during his term – Neil Gorsuch , Brett Kavanaugh , and Amy Coney Barrett .
He appointed 220 judges overall to the federal bench , all of which are lifetime appointments .
The Washington Post reports that nearly a year ago , a full 25 % of all US circuit court judges were Trump nominees .
As Business Insider @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will continue to have an influence on the direction of the US because of the sheer number of conservative federal judges he ’ s installed ” despite his apparent election loss .
Imagine if it was Hillary who selected three Supreme Court justices or the hundreds of other federal judges .
America might never have recovered .
Peace In Our Time Under Trump Makes America Better In late October , President Trump announced a new peace deal in the Middle East that would normalize ties between Israel and Sudan .
It was his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ led to multiple Nobel Peace Prize nominations .
You might not have known about them , because the media barely covered any news that would cast the President in a positive light .
Christian Tybring-Gjedde , a member of the Norwegian Parliament who nominated Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize , said the President has played a “ key role in facilitating contact between conflicting parties and … creating new dynamics in other protracted conflicts.
” He cites as further examples “ the Kashmir border dispute between India and Pakistan , and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as well as dealing with the nuclear capabilities of North Korea.
” Australian law professor David Flint , who also nominated the President , praised the “ Trump Doctrine ” against endless wars .
None of these peace deals would have been possible under a Clinton administration .
We know this by using close ally John Kerry ’ s very own words and foreign policy beliefs .
“ There will be no separate peace between Israel and the Arab world , ” Kerry angrily announced .
“ I want to make that very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ’ ve heard several prominent politicians in Israel sometimes saying , ‘ Well , the Arab world is in a different place now .
We just have to reach out to them .
We can work some things with the Arab world and we ’ ll deal with the Palestinians , ’ ” he continued .
“ No .
No , no , and no.
” Reintroducing the Republican Party to the Black Community Prior to the media-driven pandemic hysteria , President Trump had delivered historically low unemployment rates and prosperity to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ declared just before the new year that even Barack Obama would be envious of President Trump ’ s record with minorities .
“ That is a legacy on the agenda side that almost any president after three years would want to claim , particularly President Obama , ” Garrett said .
President Trump listed his numerous accomplishment for the black community during the debates .
“ Criminal justice reform , prison reform , Opportunity Zones with Tim Scott , a great Senator from South Carolina , ” Trump said .
“ He came @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Zones .
It ’ s one of the most successful programs .
People don ’ t talk about it , ” lamented the President .
CNN analyst Van Jones recently said Trump “ doesn ’ t get enough credit ” for the “ good stuff he has done.
” “ I think it ’ s really unfortunate because Donald Trump , and I get beat up by liberals every time I say it but I keep saying it , he has done good stuff for the Black community , ” Jones said .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ stuff , I worked with him on criminal stuff , I saw Donald Trump have African American people , formally incarcerated , in the White House , embraced them , treated them well , ” he continued .
“ There is a side to Donald Trump that I think he does not get enough credit for.
” The voters knew it , however .
The President made gains in nearly every minority group in 2020 .
The Space Force was the source of some mockery for the left-wing media for a time , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the latest branch of the US military will remain as such .
The Space Force – established via a $ 738 billion defense spending bill just a few days before Christmas – is the first new military service since the US Air Force was created in 1947 .
General John Raymond , chief of space operations for the U.S. Space Force said the branch is “ nationally critical.
” “ We are elevating space commensurate with its importance to our national security and the security of our allies and partners , ” he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a shoutout during a tweetstorm of reasons you should have voted for a second term .
Without Trump , there would be no such thing as the Space Force for decades to come .
Let ’ s face it , Hillary couldn ’ t be bothered with providing security to Benghazi , she sure as hell wouldn ’ t be looking to defend America on a new frontier .
On this matter it is clear , Trump beating Hillary made the military in America better .
Does anybody remember what it was like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ISIS terror group as a JV team ?
The perpetual fear of hearing about the next terrorist attack – whether carried out here or abroad ?
In fact , Barack Obama insisted to the American people that ISIS had been “ contained ” within 24 hours of a major attack in Paris that killed over 120 people .
By contrast , the ISIS caliphate was defeated in March of 2019 .
Where it had once been allowed to expand , they had tasted defeat at the hands of President Trump .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi .
Baghdadi was the world ’ s most wanted terrorist up to that point and his death represented a major blow to the terrorist group .
“ Last night , the United States brought the world ’ s No .
1 terrorist leader to justice , ” Trump said at the time .
“ Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead.
” “ Capturing or killing him has been the top national security priority of my administration , ” he added .
It is clear in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ followed through on the core promise to the American people – to make America great again .
That alone is a rebuke of what this nation would have become under Hillary .

Thanksgiving is a good time to reflect on the things you and your family are appreciative of in your lives. America is no different as a whole.
America is better for having Trump as President the past four years, and for that, we can certainly be thankful for this holiday.
While it would be easy to simply say ‘Thank God America was led by Donald Trump the last four years as opposed to Hillary Clinton’ and leave it at that, there’s a little more substance to analyze.
Here are five reasons our nation should be grateful that President Trump defeated Clinton in 2016 and helped to make America better these past four years.
Trump Reshaped the Federal Judiciary to Make America Better
President Trump named three Supreme Court Justices during his term – Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.
He appointed 220 judges overall to the federal bench, all of which are lifetime appointments.
The Washington Post reports that nearly a year ago, a full 25% of all US circuit court judges were Trump nominees.
As Business Insider writes, Trump’s “presidency will continue to have an influence on the direction of the US because of the sheer number of conservative federal judges he’s installed” despite his apparent election loss.
Imagine if it was Hillary who selected three Supreme Court justices or the hundreds of other federal judges.
America might never have recovered.
.@realDonaldTrump has reshaped our Federal judiciary at a RECORD pace. He has followed through on his promise to appoint judges who will uphold the Constitution & rule of law. President Trump has installed more federal court judges than ANY President in the past FOUR DECADES. — GOP (@GOP) November 21, 2020
Peace In Our Time Under Trump Makes America Better
In late October, President Trump announced a new peace deal in the Middle East that would normalize ties between Israel and Sudan.
It was his third such effort, the previous two led to multiple Nobel Peace Prize nominations.
You might not have known about them, because the media barely covered any news that would cast the President in a positive light.
Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament who nominated Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize, said the President has played a “key role in facilitating contact between conflicting parties and … creating new dynamics in other protracted conflicts.”
He cites as further examples “the Kashmir border dispute between India and Pakistan, and the conflict between North and South Korea, as well as dealing with the nuclear capabilities of North Korea.”
Australian law professor David Flint, who also nominated the President, praised the “Trump Doctrine” against endless wars.
None of these peace deals would have been possible under a Clinton administration.
We know this by using close ally John Kerry’s very own words and foreign policy beliefs.
“There will be no separate peace between Israel and the Arab world,” Kerry angrily announced. “I want to make that very clear with all of you.”
“I’ve heard several prominent politicians in Israel sometimes saying, ‘Well, the Arab world is in a different place now. We just have to reach out to them. We can work some things with the Arab world and we’ll deal with the Palestinians,’” he continued. “No. No, no, and no.”
Trump proved him wrong.

Reintroducing the Republican Party to the Black Community
Prior to the media-driven pandemic hysteria, President Trump had delivered historically low unemployment rates and prosperity to minority communities.
CBS reporter Major Garrett declared just before the new year that even Barack Obama would be envious of President Trump’s record with minorities.
“That is a legacy on the agenda side that almost any president after three years would want to claim, particularly President Obama,” Garrett said.
President Trump listed his numerous accomplishment for the black community during the debates.
“Criminal justice reform, prison reform, Opportunity Zones with Tim Scott, a great Senator from South Carolina,” Trump said.
“He came in with this incredible idea for Opportunity Zones. It’s one of the most successful programs. People don’t talk about it,” lamented the President.
CNN analyst Van Jones recently said Trump “doesn’t get enough credit” for the “good stuff he has done.”
“I think it’s really unfortunate because Donald Trump, and I get beat up by liberals every time I say it but I keep saying it, he has done good stuff for the Black community,” Jones said.
“Opportunity Zone stuff, Black college stuff, I worked with him on criminal stuff, I saw Donald Trump have African American people, formally incarcerated, in the White House, embraced them, treated them well,” he continued.
“There is a side to Donald Trump that I think he does not get enough credit for.”
The voters knew it, however. The President made gains in nearly every minority group in 2020.

Establishment of the Space Force
The Space Force was the source of some mockery for the left-wing media for a time, but years from now it is unlikely the latest branch of the US military will remain as such.
The Space Force – established via a $738 billion defense spending bill just a few days before Christmas – is the first new military service since the US Air Force was created in 1947.
General John Raymond, chief of space operations for the U.S. Space Force said the branch is “nationally critical.”
“We are elevating space commensurate with its importance to our national security and the security of our allies and partners,” he explained.
Trump gave the Space Force a shoutout during a tweetstorm of reasons you should have voted for a second term.
Without Trump, there would be no such thing as the Space Force for decades to come.
Let’s face it, Hillary couldn’t be bothered with providing security to Benghazi, she sure as hell wouldn’t be looking to defend America on a new frontier.
On this matter it is clear, Trump beating Hillary made the military in America better.

Anybody Remember ISIS?
Does anybody remember what it was like living under an Obama administration that dismissed the ISIS terror group as a JV team?
The perpetual fear of hearing about the next terrorist attack – whether carried out here or abroad?
In fact, Barack Obama insisted to the American people that ISIS had been “contained” within 24 hours of a major attack in Paris that killed over 120 people.
By contrast, the ISIS caliphate was defeated in March of 2019. Where it had once been allowed to expand, they had tasted defeat at the hands of President Trump.
In late October, a US raid led to the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Baghdadi was the world’s most wanted terrorist up to that point and his death represented a major blow to the terrorist group.
“Last night, the United States brought the world’s No. 1 terrorist leader to justice,” Trump said at the time. “Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead.”
“Capturing or killing him has been the top national security priority of my administration,” he added.
It is clear in reviewing the list above that President Trump followed through on the core promise to the American people – to make America great again.
That alone is a rebuke of what this nation would have become under Hillary.
