Head Explosions: INCOMING

Trump 93 Comments

Updated and bumped.

What the media missed — or deliberately ignored. I’d place my money on the latter.

As I pointed out yesterday, the odds for President Trump’s recovery were a lot better than most people would guess based on what they’ve been told by the likes of The Atlantic, The New York Times, CNN, CBC, MSNBC, The Washington Post, and all the rest of the media Deep State. Of those who contract COVID-19 in his age grouping, their 70s, the Centers for Disease Control estimates 94.6 percent will live through it. That’s very good news.
 
But we haven’t been given good news in a very, very long time. Why might that be? The nation could clearly use it. The only answer is that irrational fear serves a useful political purpose.
 
Second, the “fear COVID or you’re evil” stance is morally questionable. We all feel fear, of course, and we can’t completely control it. But we can control what we do in response to our feelings. We can confront and work through our fears, and try to slowly acclimate ourselves to things we’re afraid of that we shouldn’t be. We can work to diffuse our fear by better attaching ourselves to reality.
 
In times of fear and heightened danger, good leaders have always told their people to take heart. It is a leader’s duty to do so, in fact. Would the nation really be in a better place if Trump acted like the media did, panicking about every possible horror scenario or frightful event? He’d be a simply awful president if he did that. It’s part of a leader’s job description to project confidence amid chaos. Otherwise, the chaos wins.

  1. President Trump is a real leader. Every person in the western world who has been frightened into submission by the so called Coronavirus experts needs to ponder this message.

    1. Yes, Donald Trump is a good man; in fact, I will say it, Donald Trump is a GREAT man.

  2. Leaders have to get out and lead.
    Obviously, Dear Leader doesn’t subscribe to that. Trudeau is a narcissistic bastard and will hide away while f**king over this country.

    2. Justin is a miserable POS. And will probably be re-elected.

      Canadians are brave but can be purchased cheaply.

  4. Barbara Kay captures my opinion perfectly:
    https://thepostmillennial.com/how-a-biden-win-could-get-america-the-conservative-president-it-needs

    So, instead of wasting valuable energy making feeble excuses for Trump’s egregious failings, and propping up a leader whose best days are behind him, anti-progressives should welcome the opportunity Trump’s defeat would provide them. They should spend the newly available time trying to bring Trumpers and Never-Trumpers to the planning table. They should discuss renewal strategies. They should create a nurturing environment for the incubation of a solid phalanx of leadership prospects all Republicans can endorse, and all moderate Democrats can respect.

    1. Yeah, it’s great when Liberals tell conservatives, how to be conservative….I’m sure that’s a real recipe for success………for Liberals!

      1. Barbara Kay is a life long conservative.
        You don’t get to decide that a conservative is only someone that agrees with every idea that pops into your head.
        That is a formula for a party of one.

        For people who whinge about progressive intolerance Trump supporters are extremely intolerant.
        But I assume irony will be lost on the posters here.

          1. Erin Otoole….CINO.

            Just another hack bending the knee and kissing Laurentien Elite/Bay Street ASS. There is no such thing as a Canadian Conservative….and if there was, he/she sure as shit never ever came one from Ontario.

        2. Which you just did with your opinion of Barbara.But I assume irony will be lost on some Tim here.

        3. Jennifer Rubin calls herself a conservative as well. So does David Frump. and Bill Kristol.

          Wolves in sheep’s clothing.

          A conservative shows through their actions, not by saying “I’m a conservative” then progressing to show themselves as progressive in what they say and do.

          You’re not worth the time to explain all the good conservative things POTUS has done, you’re suffering from the same affliction as Dementia Joe. Idiocy. Leftist TROLL. Never trumper. SO WHAT.

          Now run along and whine and snivel in your Twitterverse

        5. She lost my interest when she exposed her unhealthy hatred for all things Trump. Ms. Kay is no longer trustworthy despite her telling NP and Post Media to bugger off.

        6. “Trump supporters are extremely intolerant. ” They are? In what respect? I don’t have a sense of that at all.

      2. Exactly. Conservatives have president Trump in the white house right now. We have two choices: get on board with the president and work with him or wonder forever how did we miss the last chance. Very glad to see the president out of hospital and in good health.

      3. we hear it in this country of Duh! all the time.. Move farther left they say. Which makes me and others projectile vomit!.. They disgust me. I am sick at heart about what is happening to my home.

      4. As Rush Limbaugh opines…”When the Democrats (Liberals) tell you how to win against them–be wary”

    2. Look at the conservative’s wish list. He doesn’t talk it, but he gets things done. The “egregious failings” are of appearance, not substance. Personal, not professional.

      If the Republicans dump Trump then I predict the country will split up within 40 years because of irreconcilable differences, and the Republicans will spend a decade in the wilderness wondering what happened (because what they think is their base won’t trust them for a half-generation).

      We’re seeing what happens when there’s no principled conservative option with the rising tide of Wexit. The federal conservative party is not one. The Alberta conservative party is showing it’s not one.

      1. Trump is a narcissistic, hypocritical windbag that cares nothing for conservative principals. He does not even understand what the word means. The Republican party was simply a tool for him to use to advance his personal interests and ego.

        His successes are largely non-existent or will be short lived when he is booted out of office. Even his court appointments may be short lived if the Dems are able to expand the court.

          1. Sure, but compared to Trump, Obama is a paragon of virtue. How many ex-Obama cabinet members and whitehouse workers left office to write book on how horrible their old boss was? How many now actively campaigned against him in 2012?

            The trouble with Trump thinks he can win by dividing people. So he provokes people and rejoices in their anger and vitriol. That may work for a reality TV star but it is a completely ineffective way to run a country. The US needs a leader that the majority can respect even if they don’t agree with him all of the time.

            Lets use the example of ‘critical race theory’. A true leader would have tried to find a alternative to CRT that moderate middle could support while pushing CRT into the trashheap. Trump issues edicts banning it as unamerican. No attempt to explain or find a non-partisan compromise. This simply raises the stature of CRT which will make it even harder to kill.

          2. Timmaah … you started talking about conservatism … but have veered right back into the morass of “personality” and “demeanor” (as have every single one of the desperate bargain-bin, tell-all, books). Which says everything about your original premise … it was utter subterfuge.

            We conservatives know thineselves, and need no self-proclaimed former conservative to guide us like a Sherpa to some lofty precipice … only to shove us onto the rocks below.

            Been there, done that … with a Republican Party that had morphed into a vile UNI-Party

          1. He temporarily reduced taxes (not sustainable a current levels so they wil have to be raised).
            He appointed some justices but did in a way that that may end up being moot.
            He delayed implementation of radical green policies but that likely won’t last long.
            He pushed back on china which was good but he was too much of a moron to understand that pushing back on china would be much more effective with allies. Instead of finding allies he worked to break up the US trade alliances that have existed for decades.

            About the only successful thing that Trump did was support a Israel-UAE peace deal without Palestinian approval. There is no way the Dems could have got that deal because they would have been obsessed about settling the Palestine issue first.

            So, yes, largely non-existent.

          2. The tax reductions have not only repatriated hundreds of billions in American business, but have packed the US coffers with unprecedented receipts. Hint: this conservative principle is called “Supply-side Economics”.

            So you predict the Democreeps will move to pack the courts? And/or eliminate the Filibuster? That’s pretty self-destructive of your brethren. I dare say as short sighted as Harry Reid dropping the Nuclear Option Neutron bomb. Silly, stupid, Democreep Logic.

            Wait for Allies? In a war against a Communist Fasc-ta-tor-ship!? Hint #2: America SAVED those same would be Allies in WWII … in pretty much the same way PDJT is doing now … by bringing the FEARSOME productivity of American economic output to bear upon our enemy.

            Delayed Radical Green policies that won’t last long? Huh? That sounds like quite the wishful thinking from you Timmah. Almost as if you, yourself, prefer the Radical Green dismantling of American economic prowess.

            No more non-existent than what the majority of clear-thinking, self-interested, American voters (the living ones, and LEGAL ones) deem to be in their self interest. That’s called … Democracy … our Republican Democracy

        3. Are you on temporary furlough from Kos or HuffPo?

          How is Trump on abortion, the economy, reducing government regulation, sensible immigration, getting the US out of a “world policeman” role?

          Or aren’t those “conservative” enough for you.

          Back under your bridge.

          mhb23re

        4. So Tim, how many publishing houses were offering big money to Obama employees for a tell-all after they left? This is a game with the media and they have never held Obama to account. Trump, on the other hand, can’t even get Covid without the media claiming duplicity.

        6. And TRUMP is going to obliterate the DEMS.
          Period Full stop
          Bye timmy…..

          As for your Hero OBAMA. That PO race baiting, Islamic ASS kissing Treasonous pile of Filth that gave IRAN a billion in cash while scuttling an investigation on HAMAS deserves only 1 thing….and the one thing he has in common with Justin:
          A cranial EXIT WOUND from a .50 calibre.

          It’s what you do with TRAITORS who would sell out their own country.

        7. “Trump is a narcissistic, hypocritical windbag” appearance, not substance. You’re making my point. “that cares nothing for conservative principals. He does not even understand what the word means.” Who cares? Look at his actions. You’re making my point again. “The Republican party was simply a tool for him to use to advance his personal interests and ego.” So what? Look at his actions.

          “His successes are largely non-existent or will be short lived when he is booted out of office.” That is every president, ever, that has had a hostile house and senate. I don’t care if they are nominally his party, they are hostile to him. “Even his court appointments may be short lived if the Dems are able to expand the court.” The other side needs to change the rules to overcome what he’s done and doing, and you’re claiming he’s ineffective? Be consistent, man!

          President Reagan was said to have had a plaque that noted “It doesn’t matter who gets the credit as long as the job gets done.” Look at the conservative wish list, and look at what Trump has enacted compared to any other president. Is everything done? No. Has any other come close to getting this much done? No. Has any other president with an unsupportive house and senate acomplished much (I don’t care what party they are, look at their actions, not their words or intents). For crying out loud, peace in the middle east was supposed to be impossible!

          Stop being such a progressive.

        8. Bullshit. Your Dear Leader is the very definition of narcissist. President Trump may be a blowhard but it’s only you liberals and “small c” (I.e. fake) conservatives that have an issue with him.

    5. Not until we get rid of the Deep State. There is incredible corruption in Washington and in the world. Biden us part of that. He also is way to feeble to be running for President. I think the only reason he is running is to keep himself and his son out of jail. After Trumps next term, America can seek ways to bring people together. Not going to happen under Biden. Disappointed in Barbara Kay. The deranged David Frum must have gotten to her.

      1. The Deep State is going nowhere. It is sitting quietly and patiently, waiting for Trump to depart. The Russian Hoaxers, and the rogue FBI agents are loud amateurs, rather easily slapped down. The true, serious Swamp dwellers are confortably waiting in their K-Street consultancies for the next four months or four years. Ridding the world of the Deep State is a multi-generational project; one President and/or eight years of power is just not going to cut it.

    8. We have to lose to win because 4 years of extreme left temper tantrums are more “dangerous” (rather than entertaining) than all the great accomplishments. Yep. So hurry and lose to Biden so a “real” conservative will win 4 years later. That’s solomon grade wisdom right there (sarc label for TimG).

      Pfff. That’s weapons grade stupidity from someone who was never on board and thinks they have critical thinking and persuasion skills.

      Let me help you with how un persuasive and un motivating this is since you’ve obviously never done a manager’s motivation matrix. Lose now (immediate, certain, punishment – thats as bad a matrix starting point as you can get BTW) to maybe win a magic unicorn that doesn’t exist later. (future uncertain reward). Wo ho. Yep feeling the motivation. Way motivated now. yep.

      oh ya and persuaded yep.

      1. Yeah, that article is dangerously stupid. One normally expects better from Kay. She’s missing one undeniable fact about Joe Biden: HE’S UNFIT FOR THE JOB OF BEING PRESIDENT. He’s not mentally what he was; which is totally unsurprising; the man’s going to be 78 years old come Inauguration Day! There’s no way, simply NO way, he can manage four years as POTUS.

        He’ll resign before his term is done. He’ll have to. The job will simply kill him otherwise, and it will stress what’s left of his brain to mush even before that. The only question is if he’ll make it to 731 days or not, which would enable now-POTUS Harris to run for two additional terms rather than one.

        Which means the Democrats are running a bait-and-switch operation. Biden’s the placeholder, the “generic” candidate to win the votes. It’s Harris who’s the real president-in-waiting. But if they’d run her, straight up, she’d get slaughtered. She got slaughtered in the D primary. So they’ll put her in the back door. A healthy democracy should soundly reject what the Democrats are trying to pull. But the US isn’t really a healthy democracy any more, is it? It’s collapsing into something .. else.

        I’m resigned to Trump’s likely defeat. The hatred for him burns too hot. Much hotter than Bush hatred ever did. Biden will get inaugurated, and then sometime after, Harris will. And where America goes from there is probably no place good. And maybe not a place from which they can come back.

        1. I M, if Trump loses it will be because of fraud. More people like him than don’t and more people will vote for him than any number of democrats in the country, only by fraud will the democrats win.

    9. “compared to Trump, Obama is a paragon of virtue”

      Thanks for giving me my morning laugh. Keep the jokes coming.

      (What’s next? Josef Stalin was a wildlife enthusiast under whose rule Siberian tigers multiplied.) /sarc

    10. I very much enjoy Barbara Kay (not her squish son).
      She is dead wrong on this.
      The left hated Harper and did all but the rioting.
      “Canada” gave Trudeau a chance and he is destroying Canada. I don’t believe there is any restoration.
      Kay seems to trust in the good heartedness of people who time after time have proven they only care for themselves.

  5. Democrats 1933: “We have nothing to fear but fear itself”

    Democrats 2020: “AAAGGGHHH!!!!! We’re all going to die! Trump is Hitler! Run! Hide! Lock yourselves in your basement and never come out!!!! (But don’t worry about the election, we already voted for you oh, and by the way, your dead grandparents voted too!)”

    1. yah, ditzzy, all those liberal run cities will suddenly become just fine, murder rates will suddenly fall to zero, and crime will disappear. Just how long have you been able to read?

  7. I wish I could have sent my Dad to Walter Reed instead of the inept Peter Lougheed.

  8. Criminy. He looks 20 years younger. Rep Matt Gaetz, FL, says that Trump doesn’t have to recover from the Covid virus, the Covid virus has to recover from him. Amen.

  9. Boris Johnson and Herman Cain also felt better and went home from the hospital, at nearly this exact timing. Just saying. Then again they didn’t have experimental antibody treatment so I’m cautiously optimistic at this point.

    1. Poor Boris has to rely on the NHS where outcomes are ranked inferior to collective self congratulation. You get slung out of it should your opinion on anything differ with very limited job opportunities elsewhere.
      Heavens! They still haven’t got around to recommending that their staff of a duskier hue take vitD because their higher rate of mortality and morbidity reveals systemic racism and the pharmaceutical companies which control NICE(National Institute for Clinical Excellence) which controls treatments which may be offered by the NHS, don’t make money out of them.

    2. What is it about “RIGHT TO TRY” you don’t understand? Resist & Obstruct is a Brain freeze….

  10. Three Professors/epidemiologists from Oxford, Stanford and Harvard – There is another way:

    “Keeping these measures (Lockdowns) in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.”

    “The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity, is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection, while better protecting those who are at highest risk. We call this Focused Protection”.

    They are saying what Epidemiologist Michael Osterholm told Joe Rogan way back on March 9. You saw it here at SDA first, back then.

    1. This was again discussed today on the Ingraham show. Refreshing to hear SCIENCE discussed, rather than the coward’s way out, RUNAWAY, HIDE and WAIT forever for that mean old virus to just go away.
      The idiot’s and ideological zealots want to dismiss the success of Sweden, as a fluke, “careless, reckless and cruel”.
      Cruel is extending infinite lockdowns, putting society on hold for years.
      Drs. Jay Bhattacharya (Stanford), Martin Kulldorff (Harvard) and Sunetra Gupta (Oxford) — all agree lockdowns do not work, protect vulnerable, and open up!

  11. Today’s word of the day is “strongman”.

    It came into use as soon he started walking to the helo (CNN). It is blossoming across the lefty internet like a mushroom cloud from a nuke launched by a dexamethasone enraged strongman.

  12. Who is Tim that there is no reply button. All his commentary only matters if Bidet cleans his butt and wins the election.

    1. Trump is applauded for vigourously getting back to work at the White House.
      Trudeau is applauded for hiding out at his house for months on end, spewing fake money from the front porch.
      Says a lot about our respective nations.

    2. “Trudeau is Canada’s Trump”……Huh? Jeez are you nuts, or maybe another Timmy, just looking to stir stuff up for your malicious entertainment? I’ve decided to simply skip over any post from that tim troll, and unless you can explain your statement, I’ll skip over your posts as well. There seems to be a few SDA posters answering and debating him, which is their choice, and yeah he pisses me off too, but he’s just not worth dealing with, anymore than the prior idiot unme, of course, he might be unme, but his words and statements are even more idiotic than unme, so I’m thinking he’s a fresh troll that’s tired of all the republican wagons rolling over his bridge. I’m ignoring him from now on, and if others do as well, he’ll eventually slink back under his bridge. Nuff said.

    3. LOL..WTF?.. Not so much Iain.. OurLittlePansy, is a Rat in Mice clothing. It looks like he is installing Butts Ontario Green policies on the rest of Canaduh!

  15. There was another link in the replies to that, that I followed – the attorney who prosecuted Epstein in 2009 commented that of all the bigwigs he sought help from, Trump was the only one who helped him.

    And needless to say, if Trump had ever appeared in the passenger manifest of the Lolita Express, the world would’ve never heard the end of it.

    I mentioned (somewhere else) to (somebody else) that Trump kicked Epstein out of Mar a Lago after he caught him making advances to an underage girl. (Its) reply was “That’s if you believe any of that bull$hit!” Haters gonna hate…

  17. It looks like the American people are going for Joe Biden this election. I hope Joe gets in as I want to see the US. go back to the sewer it was for 8 years under Obama

  18. “He pushed back on china which was good but he was too much of a moron to understand that pushing back on china would be much more effective with allies. Instead of finding allies he worked to break up the US trade alliances that have existed for decades.”
    If you watched more than CNN you would notice that many countires are becoming allied in the push back on the chinques.
    And you forgot to mention the support IN OTHER COUNTRIES for his nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.

  19. Have no trust or empathy with the corrupt MSM. 99.99% of them would make Leon Trotsky and Josef Goebbels blush in embarrassment.

  20. Fat, stupid, and Fear Porn … is no way to go through life son.

    I recommend every mask NAZI … including the one I JUST witnessed shouting at a Mexican American Contractor in the Home Depot Parking lot. A privileged ollllllld white man … sternly chastising the Contractor for NOT wearing his mask walking through the middle of the parking lot. Gawwwd DAMN!! do I hate busybody NannyStatist leftist twits.

    God Bless President Trump and the message of hope, and REAL LIFE science he has brought to the American people.

  21. ” It’s part of a leader’s job description to project confidence amid chaos. Otherwise, the chaos wins. ”
    And typically, the media would assist the President in projecting his confidence and in keeping the country calm, rather than trying to incite population.

  22. Cognitive dissonance. They aren’t mad that he got Covid. They’re not even mad he’s survived. They are mad at the fact that Trump surviving goes 100% against the narrative: EVERYBODY IS GOING TO DIE!!!!! Especially if you’re old and are overweight.
    The “polls” don’t look good now, I’m predicting landslide.

    1. Oh no, not at all.
      They want Trump dead. They would love to dance around his corpse and violate it.

  23. The days of Jimmy Carter’s “malaise” were dismal, so Un-American. Thank goodness our poor media weren’t around for FDR’s speech kicking fear to the curb.

  24. Meh.
    The only people predicting the Demons winning the White house are those setting us up for the coming vote fraud.
    Massive fraud,preceded by propaganda and push polls,to convince the weak minded that Biden can win.
    Democrats have been projecting and gaming this for years,2018 was a test run.
    They got away with it.
    I predict the attempt will fail,for the silent majority will vote Trump .
    Even more so than 2016.

    Who talks to pollsters?
    On one hand we have the Disrupter in Chief,who has kept more election promises than any career politician,who represents Law,Order and The Constitution.Better than the combined Uni-Party..
    Challenging we have Sleepy Joe,Biden his time for 47 years,proud promoter of Burn Loot Murder..
    Quite the choice.
    Polls are garbage,these same idiots had Clinton to win 99% at about this time last Presidential election..

  25. I hope every single lefty climbs into their closet and weeps them self to sleep and only wakes just in time for American Thanksgiving.
    Then maybe they can realize, hey, things really aren’t that bad and then gather with friends and family and watch some football while the Wuhan flu can go fuck itself.

  27. The media was quick to bIame him for catching Covid because he didn’t wear a mask enough for their Iiking; but you wiII notice that NONE of them credit his quick recovery due to the fact that the HydroxychIoriquin he was aIready taking may have heIped him fight it off.

      1. Given time, his sons will be Prime Minister.

        “Ooof, it’s a fwamily twadition. Dats whatth we doth, we fighth and fighth. Deres no workth andth all da vacationsth, a bigth payth thcheque and allth you canz organizeth forth bonusesth….. Wink wink!”

  30. POTUS 24 minutes ago. Buckle up.

    “I have fully authorized the total Declassification of any & all documents pertaining to the single greatest political CRIME in American History, the Russia Hoax. Likewise, the Hillary Clinton Email Scandal. No redactions!”

    1. What? You mean that old “conspiracy theory”? Haven’t the evil Republicans given up on that yet?

      Will be the predictable media response

  31. The insanity never ends with these effing traitorous scumbag morons. Now they’re saying he faked it. That the doctors are hiding something. That Walter Reed hospital should be defunded because they didn’t let Trump die. That he murdered people by taking a drive inside a car.
