If the media wants President Donald Trump and others to stop calling them fake news then they need to stop being fake news. A Getty photographer snapped a picture of a crying girl a few weeks ago and became the go-to image for the border fiasco. Time used the picture on its cover to bash Trump, but the girl's father said that the child and her mother were never separated. In fact, he told The Daily Mail, "They are safer now than when they were making that journey to the border."

The media-driven frenzy about separation of illegal immigrant children from their arrested parents is reaching insane heights. This is a problem which long predated Trump, and is caused by parents who expose their children to danger by bringing them illegally across the border, rather than presenting the family through lawful means of seeking asylum. These border crossings are attempts to evade U.S. law, to allow the illegal trespassers to enter the U.S. undetected. The asylum claims are simply Plan B, the excuse they have been coached to make if caught. Bringing children on this dangerous trek is the insurance card, or so they thought, of being released into the U.S. if caught. If they are not caught, there is no asylum claim and they enter and stay in the U.S. illegally.

A new narrative is taking form among liberals and never-Trump Republicans. According to them, the GOP is becoming a Trump cult. Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee is one of the latest to push this ridiculous idea.

Have you noticed that in the last few days the issue of children separated from parents arrested while illegally crossing the Mexican border has become the latest anti-Trump fury and obsession. This is not a new issue, but is now dominating the media and social media landscape as so many other issues have filled a slow news cycle void. The problem of separating children is a problem caused entirely by people crossing the border illegally with their children, which puts U.S. border enforcement in a terrible dilemma of either not enforcing immigration laws or separating families.

I just rolled my eyes so hard I'm shocked they're not stuck in the back of my head. Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) surgery resident Eugene Gu, 32, became an internet star after he sued President Donald Trump for blocking him on Twitter. Gu tweeted his support for Colin Kaepernick, the ringleader of the NFL's anthem-kneeling protest. Now Dr. Gu claims Vanderbilt refused to renew his contract politics and racism instead of taking responsibility for his actions. Gu's claims don't tell the whole story. The hospital refused to renew Gu's contract due to disciplinary action for "work performance and professionalism."

One of the things that struck me about this article excoriating Alan Dershowitz for his recent defense (not support, but defense) of Trump is that author Elie Mystal doesn't actually engage in any detail with the substance of Dershowitz's arguments. Mystal's attack on Dershowitz (and Trump, for that matter) is ad hominem. I assume we're just supposed to take what the author says at face value. Or perhaps he assumes that if we're reading him at all, we already agree with him.

The leftstream media went into full meltdown mode Friday after President Trump tweeted that he was looking forward to the jobs report. With the speed of the ace reporters of yore leaping into action when an actual story breaks, they all leaped to their keyboards and tapped out stories about how Trump "broke protocol," may have broken a federal rule, may be guilty of insider trading or "worse," was "indiscreet with confidential information," and on. And on.

Ken Vogel at The New York Times has revealed that #NeverTrump Republicans and Democrat operatives have sided with each other as a way to "neutralize" President Donald Trump. Vogel wrote:
In the past year, however, influential liberal donors and operatives have gone from cheering these so-called Never Trump Republicans to quietly working with — and even funding — them. Through invitation-only emails and private, off-the-record meetings, they have formed a loose network of cross-partisan alliances aimed at helping neutralize President Trump, and preventing others from capitalizing on weaknesses in the political system that they say he has exploited.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows a generic ballot lead for the 2018 congressional midterms ... in favor of Republicans. WUT?

Jonathan Oddi, 42, was taken to the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds to his legs after a shootout with Miami-Dade police at a Trump-owned golf course. Oddi snuck into the resort through a back entrance sometime around 1:30 AM ET, carrying with him an American flag he lifted from the back of the complex.

The MSM wonders why the majority of America cannot stand them. It's probably because of the way they twist and edit President Donald Trump's words. The New York Times, The Washington Post, and others all claimed that Trump called "some unauthorized immigrants" animals during a rant. No. He referred to members of the dangerous MS-13 gang as animals.

Leftist billionaire Tom Steyer has made no secret of his desire to see President Trump impeached, and he has been putting his billions where his mouth is. His latest ad-buy via his Next Gen PAC goes beyond attacking Trump and demonizes every left-leaning, centrist, and right-leaning American who votes Republican in this country.  Given Democrats' massive, humiliating losses at every level of government, that's a lot of people. The "Mother's Day" ad warns that the GOP is turning kids into misogynist, thieving, Trump-supporting bullies who march for white supremacy.
