Leftists Embrace Bizarre New Trump Talking Point…

There’s a new weird leftist talking point that President Trump is hiding from the media because they’re great at holding him to account… or something.

This despite Trump literally holding press conferences and answering reporters’ questions inside the Oval Office practically every day.

CNN host Kaitlin Collins claimed that Trump is purposefully keeping away the press because the economy is “tanking.”

Literally within minutes of Collins saying this on air, Trump was again taking questions from reporters.

EU Accuses Trump of ‘Blackmailing’ Zelensky!

Yesterday’s pacifists are today’s Rambos, it seems: 442 lawmakers in the 720-seat European Parliament just agreed to a joint declaration that “strongly deplores any attempts at blackmailing Ukraine’s leadership into surrender to the Russian aggressor for the sole purpose of announcing a so-called ‘peace deal.’”

It passed via landslide: 61%.

Not all EU politicians supported the measure:

Melonian Nicola Procaccini, co-chair of the Conservatives (ECR), had tried to delay the vote arguing that a strong stance by the chamber would risk undermining the delicate ongoing discussion between the United States and Russia on the conditions of the ceasefire that were agreed yesterday in Jeddah — on which the Kremlin has yet to officially comment — casting a negative light on the efforts of the star-studded administration.

But the parliament rejected his request, and thus the joint resolution submitted by EPP, S&D, ECR, Renew and Greens (which followed a debate last February) passed with 442 votes in favor, 98 against and 126 abstentions.

Which means, less than 14% of our “friends” in the EU had the testicular fortitude to oppose this brazenly anti-American statement. Thanks, guys.

But perhaps we’re being unfair. Perhaps the EU genuinely, sincerely opposes browbeating a democratic nation — especially one that was just invaded and attacked! — into accepting a permanent, immediate, and unconditional ceasefire. Perhaps this isn’t another example of our European “friends” acting selfishly and cowardly, but a heartfelt moral position.

Nah:

Fun Fact: Just one year ago, this is the same European Parliament that demanded Israel commit to a ceasefire in Gaza!

Brace Yourselves: The Next Media BIG LIE Is About to Drop

Before I tell you about the legacy dinosaur media’s next BIG LIE, I need to show you how they’ll sell it. It starts, as these things always do, with the Left attempting to control the language to alter your perceptions about how the economy performed under Presidentish Joe Biden and will perform under President Donald Trump.

We might be done with Biden but he isn’t done with us, as you’re about to see.

There was a recession in late 2021/early 2022, commonly defined as two consecutive quarters of economic shrinkage. Except the “non-partisan” National Bureau of Economic Research decided to change the commonly understood definition. In 2022, wouldn’t you know, it turned out that “many factors go into that calculation,” and that the Biden recession wasn’t a recession at all when you looked at the “many factors” that nobody had ever looked at before. 

The White House got into the game, too, with the White House Council of Economic Advisors citing a “holistic look at the data,” instead of playing by the established rules.

The press played along and pretended the recession never happened.

Convenient, eh?

I’d also add that if you take away Biden’s monstrous budget deficits, any economic growth that happened on his watch was an illusion. We entered a government-engineered recession during the lockdowns of 2020 and, thanks to epic economic mismanagement under Biden, we never left it. 

Budget deficits are a drag on future growth and should be subtracted from our GDP figures. But the same government that spends more than it takes in — currently by trillions of dollars — pretends that deficits are growth and, again, the press plays along.

So convenient. 

Private sector jobs and wages stagnated under Biden because everything was driven by Big Government and sold to you by Big Media. 

It was a helluva party that Biden threw for his well-connected buddies. Now comes the hangover, and some on the Left already have a word for the recession that hasn’t happened yet: Trumpcession.

Outrage as The View guest suggests Trump voters have under-formed brains

A top Democrat has declared Americans only voted for Trump because the US is going through its ‘angry teenage years’ – and that their brains hadn’t been ‘fully formed’ enough to vote for Kamala Harris.

Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin made the remarks on The View Tuesday, during talks surrounding her party’s response to the president’s agenda.

She insulted some 77,284,118 citizens in the process – days after delivering the Democratic response to Trump’s speech to Congress last week.

Slotkin, 48, did so just two months into her tenure in the US Senate, after beating Republican Mike Rogers in a heated race.

Flanked by hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farrah Griffin, the progressive started off by saying people in her state voted for both Trump and her – before speaking on behalf of the entire county.

‘But I don’t think there’s anyone who feels like what’s going on right now is normal,’ she said, on a morning when the economy was still reeling from Trump’s tariffs.

‘Even if you voted for Trump – right?’ she went on, as the panelists nodded in approval.

She went on to offer her patronizing prognosis, eight weeks into Trump’s presidency.

French (Government-Owned!) Media: ‘How Could You Not’ Compare Trump to Hitler?

France 24 is a state-owned, taxpayer-funded TV news station that broadcasts French propaganda. That’s its explicit, intended purpose: In the leadup to its 2006 launch, then-President Jacques Chirac proclaimed, “We must have the ambition of a big, round-the-clock news channel in French, equal to the BBC or CNN for the English-speaking world. It is essential for the influence of our country.”

Which means, it’s not like a Fox News, an ABC News, or an MSNBC — i.e. a privately-held news organization that expresses the opinions (and promotes the causes) of its corporate owners. France 24 is a subsidiary of the French government. Its opinions and causes are reflective of France.

Or, more specifically, the French political leadership.

That’s an important point to keep in mind, because three days ago, a méchant news story appeared on France 24: What parallels do historians see between the Trump administration and the Nazi regime?

The story began with one of the mainstream media’s favorite tricks: They repeat a lie over and over again, and then they do a story about it because “everyone’s talking about it.” You know the dealio:

Since the start of Trump’s second term as US president, comparisons between his administration and the Nazi regime are back in the spotlight.  

Yeah, that’s sort of true… because you’re repeating it!

Rep. Hank Johnson Says MAGA Wants Black Americans ‘Confined’ to ‘Picking Cotton’

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) believes President Donald Trump and the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement wants black Americans “confined” back to “picking cotton,” making the remarks during a virtual event this week.

“The ways in which they can kill public education, from defunding it from a federal level, and then also enabling state monies and local monies to flow into the private for-profit school setup,” Johnson began.

“That is going that is ongoing,” he continued, asserting that it is a “recipe to make education unavailable to black people.”

“And where does that then leave us? It puts us back to when America was great and we were picking cotton and all of it — we’re doing the productivity that they are putting the — my Latino brothers and sisters who migrate here to do that work, because we are not suited intellectually to do it anymore,” he said.

“But they would have us back confined to doing that kind of work. So we gotta watch out for where we are headed and it’s the people that will save our democracy,” Johnson continued. “That will stop this movement towards the past that Trump has us hurtling towards.”

Panic politics: Law professors’ umpteenth ‘constitutional crisis’ falls flat

It’s only March, and we have yet another declaration of a “constitutional crisis.”

The latest dire declaration comes from roughly 950 law professors, who refer generally to actions and policies implemented by President Trump as “beyond his constitutional or statutory authority.”

So — what happens if the “experts” hold a crisis and no one shows up?

After years of such claims, the perpetual crisis has left a dwindling number of people inclined to panic. Many simply have more pressing matters at the moment and have the same reaction of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger: “There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full.”

The latest letter follows a familiar pattern that has played out like a political perpetual motion machine since the first Trump impeachment. It works something like this: A legal academy composed of largely liberal academics announces a “constitutional crisis” caused by conservatives, and then a largely liberal media runs the story with little scrutiny or skepticism. On most echo-chambered media sites, the public rarely hears an opposing view.

The purging of conservative and libertarian faculty from most universities has been a long-standing problem. In self-identified surveys, professors confirm that some departments lack a single Republican. A study by Georgetown University’s Kevin Tobia and MIT’s Eric Martinez found that only 9 percent of law school professors in the top 50 law schools identify as conservative.

Law schools are not unique. A survey conducted by the Harvard Crimson shows that more than three-quarters of Harvard Arts and Sciences and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences faculty respondents identified as “liberal” or “very liberal.” Only 2.5 percent identified as “conservative,” and only 0.4 percent as “very conservative.” A 2017 study found that only 15 percent of faculty members were conservative. Another analysis found that 33 out of 65 departments lacked even a single conservative faculty member.

In other words, it is embarrassingly easy to get 1,000 law professors to sign off on letters claiming endless constitutional crises caused by Trump or conservatives.

Leftist UCLA Law Professor Sparks Uproar After Calling for a Military Insurrection Against President Trump

Another radical leftist has been caught calling for violence against President Trump.

As TGP readers know, leftists across America have issued countless calls for violence against members of the Trump Administration for weeks, including the president himself.

This situation has gotten so dire that agitators are now accosting the children of these officials.

On Saturday, UCLA Criminal Law Professor Peter Arenella posted a tweet saying that the U.S. Military must launch an insurrection against Trump in order to stop America from becoming an ally of Russia. Yes, he actually said the U.S. military must destroy democracy to prevent America from joining forces with an authoritarian regime.

How dangerous and ironic.

“At this point, my only hope for the US to avoid becoming an ally to Russia is a violent resistance by our military,” he wrote. “Tragic to say that because the military are trained to avoid any politically motivated intervention. Firing all the Joint Chief of Staff military leaders and replacing them with military acolytes of Trump anticipated that possibility and acted swiftly to minimize that type of intervention.

Ultimately, we will get what we deserve by giving Trump a second chance to destroy our democracy, he added.

House Staffer Gained Entry into One of the House Office Buildings that Leads to U.S. Capitol with a Gun Before Trump’s Speech to the Nation

Tarik Johnson resigned from the US Capitol Police after more than 23 years of service after the events at our Capitol on January 6th.

He previously appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight on FOX News to tell portions of his story.

Federal intel and law enforcement agencies knew about the warnings of a massive disturbance at the Capitol on Jan. 6, days before the event. But Speaker Pelosi refused to call in the National Guard days before the protests as President Trump requested. It was Pelosi who left the US Capitol vulnerable and put tens of thousands of Trump supporters in danger by her actions. Frontline officers on duty that day did not know anything about the threats. They were left in the dark.

Tarik Johnson later came forward and revealed that Pelosi and others did not notify Capitol Police of the threats they knew about days in advance.

On Saturday, Tarik Johnson posted a shocking report on X that he said could not wait until Monday morning.

According to Tarik Johnson, a House staffer gained entry into one of the House office buildings that leads to the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday and he was in possession of a gun!

The staffer was reportedly caught and arrested.

Tuesday night was President Trump’s much anticipated speech to a joint session of Congress and to the nation.

‘The View’ Co-Host Sunny Hostin Says Democrats Must Be Willing to ‘Fight and Die’ to Defeat Donald Trump

With every passing week, The View co-host Sunny Hostin is becoming more and more unhinged.

Hostin, who is known for making her fellow left-wing panelists seem like moderates, said on Friday’s edition of The View that Democrats must be willing to follow the civil rights generation in being willing to “fight and die” in order to defeat Donald Trump.

She made the comments when discussing the behavior of Texas Representative Al Green, who was kicked out and later censured for disrupting President Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday evening.

“They should be ashamed of themselves,” Hostin said of the Democrats. “They all should have walked out with him.”

She went on:

They don’t know how to fight and be part of an opposition party. Representative Green gave them the example. The Democrats are not meeting the moment.

It is very clear that Medicaid is on the table. It is very clear that Social Security is on the table. It is very clear that people will die.

The Baby Boomers, the civil rights generation — they knew what they had to do. They were willing to fight and die for their rights.

This generation of Congress, they are not meeting the moment. This is an existential crisis.
