The media is still telling America that Trump is “the most unpopular president in history” or some such thing. But just what are President Trump’s approval ratings? And barring those numbers — and even more importantly — how popular are his policies?
The media is bound and determined to make Trump into the most unpopular president in American history. And whatever his real ratings may or may not be, the media is filled with claims about how unpopular he is. Take a piece this week by The Hill newspaper which insisted, “Trump’s approval rating slides.”
The Washington-based newspaper reported that Trump’s poll ratings fell a few points to 47 percent from the 49 percent seen last week. The Hill isn’t alone. Let’s look at a few other recent headlines…
Vox wrote, “Donald Trump is remarkably unpopular.” The Washington Post said, “The unprecedented unpopularity of Donald Trump.” The New York Times exclaimed, “Trump Entering White House Unbent and Unpopular.” And so on and so forth.

Confusion Reigns Over Trump’s Popularity Ratings, But He’s Not as Unpopular as the Press Claims”
Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol suggested Feb. 7 that the federal government should use immigration from Mexico to replace the American white working class.
As the media tries to blame President Donald J. Trump for a failed raid on a Yemen terror compound by the U.S. military coupled with his recent temporary moratorium on travel from a list of seven terror-exporting countries, the media is in a full blown effort to undermine the president’s efforts to fight terror. To remind the world just how dangerous ISIS and its compatriots are, the Trump administration released a list of 78 terror attacks that the media is trying desperately to ignore in the hopes you, the American people, will never learn of them.
Every day, now, the old media complex spins up liberals with a daily lie abut what that darned ol’ Donald Trump did next. This campaign is a clear and coordinated effort to delegitimize Trump in order to destroy and eliminate him. Here is a list of just some of the fake news attacks unleashed by the liberal media to achieve that end.
Showing once again that it is impossible to be a logical, thinking human AND be a liberal at the same time, Katie “Fake News” Couric recently noted that a fetus in the womb can “feel” transgender and to “think” it has gender issues while still in the womb.
On Wednesday evening officials of the University of California at Berkeley decided to cancel a talk scheduled to be given by iconoclast gay conservative and free speech activist Milo Yiannopoulos. Officials feared unrest over the event. But it came to that anyway as the fascist left kicked into high gear with rioting and destruction in the violent, un-American way we’ve all became so woefully used from the left in America.
Liberals have taken to belching out the false claim that “immigration made America great” as an excuse to allow unending waves of Muslim “refugees” into the U.S. They say these Muslims only want to come to the U.S. and join our country and to “better their lives.” However, economic statistics clearly show that this is a lie. There “refugees” aren’t coming here to join the great American experiment. They are merely coming here for free stuff courtesy of the American taxpayer.
The left and their minions in the media are losing their collective mind over President Donald J. Trump’s temporary halt to immigration from a list of terror-sponsoring nations and it appears that they are trying to bully him into withdrawing his order. Thus far they are not winning… and that’s a good thing, too.
Donald Trump has now spent a full week in office as our 45th president. There have been a few ups, a few downs, maybe a misstep or two, but he has already started into fulfilling his long list of campaign promises. From the firing Obama appointees, the beginning the end for Obamacare, to building the wall on the southern border, Trump has set to his agenda with gusto. So, here are some of the things President Trump did in his first 7 days.
As the contest for the next chairman for the Democrat National Committee comes down to the wire it is becoming clear that the party still doesn’t want to open its tent to the millions of white voters who fled the party to vote for Donald Trump. In fact, one candidate is now saying she sees it as her duty to “shut white people down” if she were lucky enough to be voted in to take over the party’s chairmanship.
There used to be an axiom in political reporting that the children — especially the smallest ones — of politicians should remain off limits in the back and forth political attacks over policy. But now that Donald Trump is President of the United States, it appears that the media no longer cares if people viciously attack little kids. NBC is an inglorious example of that today since a writer for “Saturday Night Live” called ten-year-old Barron Trump a “serial killer” and NBC has done nothing about it.
On the day Donald J. Trump took the oath of office he took time out to sign a few early Executive Orders in the Oval Office. Members of the media, though were fixated on their claim that Trump took out the statuette bust of Martin Luther King, Jr., and replaced it with Winston Churchill. But their reports which went viral among liberals is built on lies. Trump didn’t remove the King bust at all. It’s just more liberal fake news.
In a move so typical of the hypocritical left, the ACLU is urging protesters at Donald J. Trump’s inauguration to be sure and take video of police and security agents attempting to keep everyone in D.C. safe but at the same time they are warning the police to be sure and turn off their body cameras so as not to record protesters.
In yet another example of the hate that liberals promulgate, African American professor and CNN contributor Marc Lamont Hill decided that any black person who dares talk to Donald Trump must hence forward be dismissed and branded a “mediocre negro.”
After long-time Democrat Party hack and “civil rights icon” Congressman John Lewis attacked Donald J. Trump as an “illegitimate president” — and after Trump replied to Lewis’ hate-filled attack — a growing list of Democrats have announced a boycott of Trump’s inauguration. But it is a boycott with a happy outcome because it will just make room for more real Americans to attend the festivities.
As 2016 came to an end, cat video and click bait website BuzzFeed became the toast of the liberal media by publishing a piece supposedly “proving” that conservative media is all “fake news.” But now, just as we prepare for the inauguration of our next president, BuzzFeed itself has been slammed by nearly everyone — left and right — for publishing the ultimate in fake news with a false story smearing Donald Trump.
As she accepted an award last weekend, Meryl Streep, the purportedly “celebrated” Hollywood actress, dredged up the lie that President-Elect Donald J. Trump “made fun of a reporter’s disability” during the recently concluded campaign for the White House. Streep’s charge, though, is an outright lie and here are the facts you need to know to combat this lie.
Donald J. Trump won the White House in part — and likely in large part — because he told voters he wanted to stop business as usual and defeat the “insiders” in Washington D.C. His popular phrase to describe this was to “drain the swamp.” But one has to ask, does Trump understand that his small government agenda will be opposed by Republicans almost as much as it will be opposed by the left-wing, socialist-inspired Democrat Party?
An African American Georgetown University professor thinks that in the face of a lack of government policies each white person in America should start a personal bank account from which they can individually pay blacks reparations for slavery.
On January 4 a white teenager with special needs was found wandering aimlessly in a black Chicago neighborhood and when police found him he had a frightening tale of race-based torture to tell. But before he was rescued Facebook users were treated to videos of four black kids hooting and laughing as they beat the teen bloody while yelling “F white people” and “F Trump.” Unsurprisingly, because it is a white person being tortured, liberals from coast to coast are insisting this isn’t a racist hate crime.
As his presidency winds down, we are told that Barack Obama will deliver a farewell address*just like* President George Washington. Well, I know about George Washington. And YOU, Barack Obama, are no George Washington.
The year 2016 is now in the rear view mirror and Baby New Year has waddled in, diaper and all. But baby, you are still young and naive and I hate to say it but you and the generation you are ushering in will have an awful time once you find out what liberals have in store for you.
A recent USA Today article assessing former Red Sox great Curt Schilling’s chances to win a berth in the Baseball Hall of Fame concludes that his conservative political ideas will prevent him from being afforded that honor.
Since November 9, the day Donald J. Trump became the President-Elect of the United States, the media has erupted in reports of “hate crimes” against a large swath of liberal focus groups, especially Muslims. However, despite early reports, it also turns out that nearly every single one of those reports turned out to be a hoax. So, here are the top thirty fake hate crimes since Election Day.
Liberals like to pretend they represent the “grown up,” more “tolerant,” and more “intelligent” side of the political divide in the U.S.A. and no where is this assumption more prominent than on the campuses of our fetid institutes of higher learning. But these days it seems that teaching hate is just as prevalent in our universities as it is on the battlefields where ISIS reigns.
Throughout American history, leftists have proven far more dangerous to the lives of public officials than Americans of other ideologies and with the unhinged way the left is reacting to the impending Trump presidency one has to wonder if they are fomenting a climate where one of their brood will take up arms against our new commander in chief.
