You all remember the "Mike Dukakis Tank" image? Dukakis, trying to overcome the public perception that he was a wimp and soft on the military, boarded a tank on September 13, 1988.

Trying to portray the candidate as something he so clearly was not diminished the candidate and reduced him to a punchline.

The Democrats have been wailing about the Russian influence on the 2016 election, but it turns out, as Mary blogged earlier this week, that they are implicated in creating their own army of fake Russian bots to influence the 2017 Alabama Special Election.

During the funeral for George H.W. Bush, Trump was spotted not reciting the Apostle's Creed and leftists on Twitter used it as an opportunity to bash him.

Joel Kaplan, Facebook's vice president of public policy, sent the social media giant into a tizzy after he supported his friend Brett Kavanaugh at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings. He apologized for the stir, but did not apologize for supporting his friend. In fact, Kaplan threw a party to celebrate the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Susan Collins and her office have received threats over Supreme court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. "Conservative" blogger Jennifer Rubin and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) decided it's not a big deal and actually went on social media to MOCK Collins and her office.

The deplatforming of Alex Jones by social media sites should disturb you whether you are a fan or not. I've never been a fan of Jones or his Infowars site. I've never gotten past the time Jones led an angry mob against Michelle Malkin in 2008. Still, if this can be done to him it can be done to anyone.

When the left is confronted with the fact—and it is a fact—that their radical anti-God, anti-family SJW agenda is indeed radically out of step with mainstream America, the result is always hilarious.  And a little sad.

Over 100 Facebook employees have spoken out against the social media giant's "intolerant" political culture after one of them posted about the problem on the company's internal message board. Senior Facebook engineer Brian Amerige posted a two-page memo titled "We Have a Problem With Political Diversity," which claims that employees "are quick to attack—often in mobs—anyone who presents a view that appears to be in opposition to left-leaning ideology."

ESPN has been struggling recently, and one of the problems it is facing is its political partisanship.  ESPN's president, Jimmy Pitaro, has been at the helm of ESPN for five months, and one of his goals is to refocus ESPN on *gasp* sports.  To that end, outspoken leftist Jemele Hill has been bought out of her contract. Hill, you may recall, was quietly moved off of Sports Center for tweeting that President Trump is a "white supremacist."
