  1. Unfortunately, many of these leftist papers will only aggressively pursue a negative campaign against MAGA and Republicans. It’s rightfully – correctly classified as … “Journalism Malpractice!” These leftist media organizations fall short in their responsibilities and duties. A majority of the informed and responsible public basically tune-out these platforms and seek their news elsewhere.

  2. Trump is practical and a realist. America is in decline with Democrats in control. Democrats don’t believe in greatness, achievement, and merit. They want America to sink and be mediocre……..or less. Democrats believe in totalitarianism and dictatorship, as long as it’s run by powerful Democrats.
    .
    Democrats are dishonest to the core, and lie about their dishonesty. This is what Trump is fighting. And we are going to stand and fight with him. To the death, if necessary.

    • You have to fight the media too. They are the ones who brainwashed this kid’s sick mind to kill Trump.

  3. Anytime you think you don’t have enough contempt for the corporate press, you need to go further.

    And this includes the NY Post and Fox news.

    They all comfort the powerful and afflict the powerless.

  4. This viewer watched on a PBS station. After Trump finished speaking the wildly biased, left wing crowd at News Hour had a conniption fit. “He’s a liar, he’s a narcissist, his ego is huge. He’s going to lose.” Their hatred and vitriol was on full display.

    These left wingers- like the saying from the movie A few Good Men- couldn’t handle the truth. They were particularly offended when Trump talked about the open border that Biden has allowed. Their panties got particularly bunched up when Trump talked about the Americans who have been raped and murdered by the invaders, and how some of these countries are sending their criminals here, deliberately, to reduce their own crime rates.

    A friend related that a friend of his was hit by a Mexican last Friday. After the accident the driver fled. As one might expect, the driver had no insurance, and was not licensed. Both cars were totaled. The insurance pay out will not cover a fraction of the cost of replacing their car. All across America this is happening because Biden and his insane left wing followers hate America. Your insurance rates are going up, up, up to cover these criminals that cause this sort of damage, daily. And this is just the tip of the iceberg…

    • Same experience here. The NBC talking heads could not wait to start cutting down the speech.
      .
      I will bet ever dollar that pResident Briben lets me keep in my wallet that they talking heads will push the DNC speeches as positive and hopeful. Seriously, if someone where to give (almost, obviously the personal information would have to be edited) exactly the same speech as Trump gave at the RNC, they would be ecstatic about how uplifting it was.

    • I accidently tuned in PBS and caught the same thing, pearl-clutching ladies horrified at the uncouth ruffians on the convention floor. I quickly switched to another channel.

  5. The media obviously heard a different speech then I did. I thought it was one of President Trump’s most dialed down speeches concerning the left, but hey, it is true about the State of the Union at this time. Are you better off now than before Biden? Is this Nation better off now or before Biden? Ask these questions of yourself and vote accordingly.

  6. If Trump were to cure cancer, the headlines would read “Trump Puts Thousands of Doctors out of Work.”

    • That would be an awesome truth! There are an innumerable number of doctors that went along with years of not treating cancer, but feeding big pharma. There are an innumerable number of doctors that were willing to play the globalist covid game. All of these doctors need to be put on trial for extortion, malpractice, and murder or attempted murder. Looking forward to the cures coming out!

  7. Sane people have a dark view of American decline. Small wonder most of the press doesn’t understand it. Or us.

  8. We need accountability in journalism, as long as the media can speak and print lies and half truths, America is on a very slippery slope, I don’t have a clue how to enforce that but propaganda will be our downfall

  9. Trump Derangement Syndrome is real. Especially in the media. It is so bad, it seems, that Trump could walk outdoors in Arizona at Noon and exclaim that it is “bright an sunny outside today,” and the press would report something sideways from what he said, and include a dash of gaslighting while they’re at it. You can’t hate the media enough. And more and more Americans are waking up to this fact.

  10. For the libtards and Trump haters, the RNC convention provided fresh materiel for them to spin in their normal perverted and frequently out of context manner. The events of the past week have run the gamut from horrific with the assassination attempt and killing of innocent bystanders to a stunning display of outrage and strength in the face of adversity with a bloodied Trump, fist in the air, to disbelief at the incompetence at best with far more sinister possibilities surrounding the Secret Service. Fortunately the RNC gathering provided at least for some of us a much needed dose of uplifting commentary and a ray of hope for the future. Children have an inherent way of being honest, at a young and tender age they have not yet been exposed to the evil ways of the world and recognize only when they feel comfortable and protected by compassionate caring adults. This was grandly on display with a little blonde girl very comfortably on her Grandfathers knee. It was very apparent that she was in a safe space where she had been before. That child clearly exhibited that she was in a comfort zone… in the presence of Donald J. Trump, there are millions of us that feel the same way.

  11. In the world of Liberals where up is down, east is west, and men can have babies, I imagine they do think a Trump presidency would lead to decline. A decline in inflation, crime, illegal immigration, and wars. Liberals love this stuff.

  12. We don’t need API. Just get us on more anti-anxiety meds. A few gallons of 140 proof whiskey may also help. Please donate today.

  13. The left can’t spell decline or understand the meaning of it.
    They are useless and have brought this great country down to a Third World place.
    I don’t know why everybody wants to come to this mess unless they like to live in a mess with lawlessness and crime, running rapid and a country about to go broke.
