I am just amazed at this whole Ralph Northam story. This is unlike any other scandal I’ve ever seen. I watched most of his press conference yesterday and that was like a slow moving trainwreck. I really don’t understand what he is doing. Either he is trying to work out a back room deal before he resigns, or he thinks he can tough it out long enough for the news cycle to move on and then get the Democrats to come back around to protect him. Not this time. If the Democrats don’t get him under the bus quickly, they risk a back lash by the black voters. Eventually, the question will turn to “how did the Democrat leadership not know about this guy?” I don’t think the Democrats want to be asked. “What did the DNC know and when did they know it?”

This yearbook photo thing has been a rare hat-trick plus for the GOP. You have an hysterical PC lynch mob attack on and Dem Gov over a 35 year old photo from a costume party. He fights it (as he well should) thereby validating opposition to the PC lunch mob. But his defense has been so inept its only damaged his reputation unnecessarily. And, on top of all that, you have his disgusting baby euthanasia stance. Its a win-win-win-win for the GOP.

I am afraid that backlash you mention is due to arrive in Godot’s pocket. The black voters of this country have had many an opportunity to see how they are exploited by the Dems and they continue to vote for them in numbers that would make Saddam Hussein proud. The last opportunity was when DJT pointed out the results of 50 years of their Dem support and said, “…what have you got to lose..”.

nothing should surprise us with the media any more. The US media is comprised of mostly dishonest people – they invent news, constantly cover news (including things that should be insignificant – Covington Catholic) to promote its agenda, bury/censor whatever goes against its leftist agenda (any negative news regarding illegals).

“If you’re more upset by an inappropriate costume a guy wore 30 years ago than the fact that he advocated for infanticide 3 days ago, you are morally deranged and possibly psychotic.” … Matt Walsh https://goo.gl/T3d27J

With the rampant spread of claims of racist over the past decade, the charge has, like the cry of wolf, lost the impact it should have. Thirty year old examples of foolish behavior doesn’t help correct the problem.

Nor does the errant culture, known as PC, help anything. In fact, folks now-a-days fervently hope the accused will fight back just to dull the blade of the PC accusations.

The issue of infanticide is being buried here by the PC culture so quickly and thoroughly that it must be intentional. If successful, this ploy allows the press to avoid asking Democrat candidates their positions on infanticide.

This is the second state to attempt the legalization of infanticide in the past few days. New York City proudly lit up it skyline in celebration of this deeply evil policy.

The “press” fully supports the infanticide that is being promoted. Why else would they cover uo the terrors of it? If anyone wants to see what is going on, one should read the Frankfort Schools’ manifesto.

At this time in the Kavanaugh mess, there were eleventy different news reports and investigation with classmates, yearbooks, his dog….

We nominally have one picture and one presser….I wonder why?

As we have learned over the years, the crime is never as bad as the coverup. I personally do not think his costume was anything to be upset about. 30 years ago I went to my son’s grammar school costume party dressed as an African king in blackface with a leopard skin cape and gold crown. This was because they had been reading about Africa and the many tribal differences that existed there. It had no disrespect connected with it and none was taken. But in today’s world, if that photo came out I couldn’t run for POTUS. THANK GOD! 35 year ago his was just a costume with no social meaning, although the KKK hood certainly did. But he has handled it poorly. First, he didn’t remember it and then could not identify which one he was in the photo. Now he is saying that it is not him in either costume. But the true expose is the decadent msm in that they are more outraged over the photo than his kill a baby at birth proposal!

I would include the jussie smullet incident in the very bad week. That story is Duke Lacrosse 2.0. Very little of it makes sense, but the huge tell is the failure to turn the cell phone over to police. I’ll bet a large sum of money the phone not only disproves the story, but shows an active plot to make Trump supporters look bad.

Last night, Smollett publicly admitted his rib was NOT broken or fractured, a “fact” first reported by @tmz based on sources close to Smollett and spread like wildfire by lib narrative-driven media. How many will correct? https://t.co/2wKS28eQaB
