Yellow Journalism Flows Down Trump’s Leg — And They Tell Him It’s Raining

Libs are mad because Hillary lost, and they are acting out.

They kept pushing their bad policies and their disdain toward middle America until there was backlash. When America voted to elect Trump, the  liberals were shocked to their core. Now they are grappling with the aftershock– that we also voted our consciences.

Democrats are used to bullying and character assassination of opponents to get their way. It didn’t work with “Teflon Don” Trump. They have finally met their match in Trump, a man who will stand up to them. America cheered.

They want to disrupt Trump at every turn. There is even talk of sex workers in San Francisco, many involved in bondage and S&M, being sent to disrupt the Trump inaugural. I’d say, “Slap a cease-and-desist order on them,” but I’m afraid they’d just like that.

My buddy Jake Cook observed that Democrats have not been this mad since Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves. This election, with many landslide Republican victories in state seats nationwide, was not just a message to the Democrats. It was a restraining order.

Now the media, with the help of Obama intelligence appointees clinging to a few more days of power, are giving it one last shot.

In their last throes of petulant power, the Obama administration is trying to concoct and advance any narrative to delegitimize Trump and provide any lame excuse why the Dems lost so much. Fake intelligence stories with “dossiers” about Trump doing weird things on the bed with hookers in Russia are fed to the media. One or some of the appointed intel chiefs leaked the stories, but they are all too cowardly to admit it. Talk about yellow!

Even Bob Woodward, of Woodward and Bernstein/Watergate fame, called the Trump hookers/bed/urinate claims “a garbage document that should have never been released.” There is no doubt that intelligence agencies trying to please Obama one last time leaked these documents intended to hurt Trump, a critic of the political nature of our intelligence community.

Obama has done this since his first campaign in Illinois, digging up sealed  records of his opponent’s divorce and revealing items damaging to the couple’s kids. He went after $1 million Romney donor Frank VanderSloot, dumpster-diving for divorce records; then the IRS magically audited VanderSloot — twice. We all know about Obama’s goons going after James Rosen and Fox News and the IRS being sicced on the Tea Party.

Then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid lied on the Senate floor, saying Romney didn’t pay taxes. Dems do not have the better policy arguments, but they do know how to play the politics of personally obliterating their opponents. They know they don’t have to be liked by voters, just slightly more liked than their opponents.

The media have gone from crying about Trump’s entanglements with Russia  to leaks with Russia. Some in the media so wanted to believe this contrived story that they sat in the front row at a Trump press conference wearing rain coats like they were seeing Gallagher perform his watermelon smashing routine.

They so want one of these #FakeNews stories to be true. Obama could be caught on tape killing a hobo and throwing him in the Potomac, and the media headline would be: “Obama Helps Get Homeless Off the Streets.”

Just in the last two months, the left has destroyed two great American songs.  They turned “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” into a date rape song, and they have ruined “Singin’ in the Rain” for most of us.

Now Obama’s Inspector General is told to look into the FBI and James Comey’s investigation of Hillary’s emails. But get this: They are not supposed to look into the real issue, AG Loretta Lynch’s clandestine meeting on her private jet with the husband of suspect Hillary Clinton.

Libs are even blasting the intel agencies for not releasing the kinky “Trump in  Russia” sex allegations. I wished they had released them. Trump might  have won Vermont and California.

The perplexing but good thing about Donald Trump is that you do not have to dig up or make up embarrassing information on him. You just have to sign up to follow him on Twitter or attend a rally.

Worry not.  The forecast for Trump’s Inauguration Day is clear and sunny, with no chance of showers.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
