So you're fine with peoples prevented taking refuge in your country simply for being citizens of the wrong countries? I wouldn't have figured you supporting something so heartless.

Some other good information from the Drudge report.

Drudge Report Stokes Iran Fears With Fake Missile Photo Featuring Jar Jar Binks

http://gizmodo.com/drudge-report-stokes ... 1791918585

One of the never-ending characteristics of leftist Trump Derangement is the complete inability to recognize a joke.

"The Drudge Report published a peculiar image on its homepage this morning featuring the Star Wars character Jar Jar Binks peeking out over a set of photoshopped ballistic missiles. The headline read “Iran Rattles,” indicating that the story was meant to be taken seriously."

Um, no. Those photoshopped Iranian missile pictures have been going around for ages -- there are a million of them. Gizmodo doesn't recognize a joke when it sees one, unlike Drudge readers.

"Of course, there’s a chance that the Drudge Report was indeed aware that Jar Jar Binks was hidden in the photo, but it’s worth noting that the site is not typically known for its humor."

Gizmodo (and the left generally) demonstrates that it has absolutely no clue about Drudge's style. I hardly ever see the site unless a link somewhere points me to it, but even I know that Drudge is famous for funny picture combinations -- that's one of his shticks. The site is known for its humor, especially with pictures.

"It’s also worth pointing out that the original image with a dozen missiles was inspired by a 2008 Iranian government blunder [yeah, that's it, it was a blunder!], when the state was caught using a photoshopped image of its missile tests. As the Atlantic Wire reported, people began humorously editing the photo to an even greater extent, eventually adding the Star Wars character Jar Jar Binks."

In other words, everybody knows about these fake Iranian missile pictures, and has been mocking them for eight years. But somehow Drudge continuing the mockery is "serious." :roll:

Summary: Gizmodo outs itself as another fake news site run by a bunch of clueless idiots. 8)

The independence of the Central Bank is essential to financial stability. Trump will be listed near Mugabe.

Where does this mantra come from? The Federal Reserve was created in 1913, has there been financial stability since? Were things that unstable before? How is that a private bank totally unaccountable to congress controls our money? The constitution mentions nothing about central banking.

It would take understanding game theory to explain. We had the biggest disasters when the Federal Reserve was influenced by politics, particularly under the Rand disciple Greenspan. Of course, lots of money has been spent on promoting the idea that regulation creates crises, and the history of the Great Depression has been simplified into an argument for creating the conditions for another one.

Trump's understanding of economics predates Adam Smith, and his top advisers remain devoted to discredited theories, so if you intend to believe what they put out, there's no point in having this argument. Time will tell. I don't intend to sell my few silver coins any time soon.

Personally I'm not so sure he's gone about things the best way. But I'm inclined to believe he does things for the reasons he says he's doing them. And I have no problem with his stated reasons.

Oooh Oooh Oooh, over here. ME, I'm heartless!! ! :D

A country shouldn't take in more than thier economy can sustain or it'll create a mess. Better to let them in with some discretion for the well-being of the rest of the country.

Germany is taking in more than it should out of that German Guilt thingy from WW2 and the holocaust. They need to get over that for thier own good.

The problem is with the wrong countries being wrong countries. They need to be made into right countries, rather than leaving them as they are. Why aren't refugee camps being set up at home in Syria, instead of these people having to flee from their homeland? Why aren't all these countries taking in refugees, pitching in to make Syria a better and safer place so its citizens don't have to flee from it? Just taking in refugees instead of taking care of the situation on the home front, isn't ever going to make the situation any better, it's just going to perpetuate it.

This is how the left-wing media promotes its fake-news narrative.

Here are four headlines for the same story, arranged from neutral descriptive reporting (WSJ) to leftist anti-Trump propaganda (NYT):

You should probably learn the difference between "fake" and "disagrees with you." Given a choice between detailed analysis (the articles you posted) and propaganda (your comment), I'd rather read and discuss the details of the plan itself, rather than your paper-thin media criticism.

The Obama administration's unemployment numbers were fake, remember. Trump said it all the time. "It was, indeed, remarkable that the unemployment rate fell from 42% to 4.8% on January 20th," said Austan Goolsbee, the former chair of Obama's Council of Economic Advisers. Now the numbers are real, like magic.

Having a negative opinion of certain actions being taken by the Trump administration is not the same as stating blatant false facts. "fake-news" applies to the latter, which has mostly been on the side of the White House.

"What's wrong with America when a judge can stop the president from doing whatever he wants by claiming national security?"

We live in a constitutional democracy, President Trump, and it means that it's working.

Trump's Superbowl prediction was close to being 100% accurate.



This man seems to have an uncanny ability to foresee what's going on and what's going to take place.

I'm with Drudge, I expected Trump to move on Obamacare immediately. If Trump doesn't do something about it like he promised, I won't be voting for him again.
