AS A FATTER OF MACK

I used to tell people that: “as a fatter of mack I suffer from dexlysia.”  I just thought this was a silly joke. Then I checked out the CNN site for their fact checking on the Trump speech last night. Now that is a joke:

https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/28/politics/donald-trump-cpac-speech-fact-check/index.html

CNN is determined to prove that Joe Biden really won the election fair and square. Their fact checking only proves that they are the ones who are delusional.  My favorite was where Trump said there were more votes than people. He was right about that, but CNN says that only happened in some precincts and state officials said this was just a clerical error, so Trump was lying. Right!

Trump said gas prices went up 30% since the election. CNN admitted that prices are 30% higher, but blamed it, yup, on Trump. CNN says that higher crude oil prices are driven by optimism about coronavirus vaccines. So, while Trump gets no credit for the vaccines, he gets blame for increasing gas prices because people are optimistic about the vaccines. And, that Texas snowstorm was also to blame. I wonder how they will blame Trump when we have $5 gas in California this summer.

CNN said Trump lied when he said that the U.S. doesn’t know anything about the refugees it brings in. Trump clearly was talking about the open southern border, but CNN deliberately distorted that to apply only to legal refugees. This is absurd.

I could go on, but you can read this for yourself. It is impossible for the MSM to report objectively on any subject, particularly if it involves Trump. One will note that they are not fact checking Biden. That is too bad, because he provides a lot of material. The Golden Globes did not tell any political jokes last night. The Trump jokes are no longer funny because he is now out of office. While the Biden Presidency is a joke, it is no laughing matter.

Trump walked out on that stage, smiled, and said: “miss me yet?” He then skewered the Biden administration and RINO Republicans. It was like a breath of fresh air. It was a reminder of the need for someone like Trump who can generate enthusiasm for a better tomorrow. It was a reminder of who is the real leader in the Republican Party.

Trump is a unique individual and no one in either party can come close to matching him. I am not sure he even plans on running for President in 2024, but he clearly plans on leading this country one way or the other. Perhaps he has decided that being a King maker is more fun than being the King. That is particularly true if the King must deal with fact checkers like CNN.

Then I realized something important. CNN did this fact checking because they are terrified of Donald Trump. They know that if people listen to this and believe it, the Democratic Party, and their supporters in the MSM are toast.

It reminds me of an incident when I was on a basketball team. The coach used to throw the ball at players if they did something wrong. I mentioned this to a teammate who said: “I wish he would throw at me; he only throws at people who are going to play.”

I still don’t think a coach throwing the ball at people is a good idea, but I understood the point. The more the MSM focuses on Donald Trump, the more evidence that they are not only terrified of him; they realize he is a real player. That is bad news for CNN, but good news for everyone else. “As a fatter of mack it does make more than a diff of bitterence.”
