MSM Having Selective Moral Outrage Over Sexy Kellyanne Conway Photo On Oval Office Couch

In what the media wholeheartedly described as a FUCK YO COUCH moment, Kellyanne Conway is the latest Trump administration official to undergo yet another bullshit media hit. Take a look:

Oh my God – the liberal media is talking about “decorum” in the Oval Office…

Let’s see what she was actually doing:

The outrage! I seem to remember liberals defending President Clinton getting blown behind that desk, and then there’s all those pictures of Obama (and just about every other US President) with his feet on top of it.

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs! LG Gets Jump On Samsung – Will Build $250 Million Plant In Tennessee – Set To Open In 2019

After weeks of speculation that South Korean companies Samsung and LG are considering building appliance factories in the USA to avoid expected import tariffs by the Trump administration, LG has stepped up to the plate – committing $250 million for an 829,000 square foot factory in Clarksville, TN to produce washing machines, expected to open in 2019.

LG expects the vast majority of washers for U.S. consumers to be made in the Clarksville plant. Its washing machines sold in the United States have so far been made in Korea, China, Vietnam and Thailand.

The plant will have the capacity to expand to make other home appliances as well as commercial washers, the company said.

LG will receive support for construction as well as tax and other incentives, under agreements with the State of Tennessee. Reuters

On February 2nd, President Trump tweeted his thanks to Samsung, attaching an article speculating on their potential plans to move appliance production to the USA. Samsung was none too pleased over the presumptive tweet:

“We feel pressured for (President Trump) thanking Samsung because nothing has been decided yet, but it could give the wrong impression that Samsung may have done something (as he wished),” an unidentified industry official told the site.” -Business Insider

LG is the latest in a growing list of companies giving Trump credit for job creation or investments. Prior to Trump’s inauguration, Dow Chemical ($DOW), Carrier (owned by $UTX), Sprint ($S), OneWeb, and IBM ($IBM) all gave credit to Trump for bringing thousands of jobs back to the USA – including GM ($GM), which announced a $1 billion investment in US Factories that is expected to result in 7,000 jobs, and a Lockheed Martin ($LMT) announcement of 1,800 jobs added to it’s F-35 fighter jet program. Japan’s Softbank has also pledged to invest $50 Billion in the United States (a deal in the works before Trump’s election), and Japanese PM Abe is reported to be putting together a US investment package which could generate 700,000 US jobs.

Last but not least, on February 8th, Intel ($INTC) announced a $7 billion investment in a new plant in Arizona, expected to result in at least 10,000 Jobs.

All in all, between all the human trafficking/ pedo busts, ICE deportations, and jobs created – I’d say Trump is off to a pretty good start fulfilling campaign promises.

Trump Approval At 50% Ahead Of Tonight’s Speech To Congress – Amidst Democrat Plans To Protest

A new Rasmussen poll ahead of Donald Trump’s speech to congress tonight puts the President’s approval rating at 50% – two points above President Obama’s “strongly approve” rating from just one year ago.

The latest figures include 34% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 41% who Strongly Disapprove.  This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -7.

Obama’s “Strongly Approve” one year ago was 26%, while 40% “Strongly Disapproved,” giving him an Approval Index rating of -14.

45% of those polled also believe that the country is headed in the right direction – higher than any week during the Obama presidency, which ranged from the mid-to upper 20% range for most of 2016. Of note, only 32% of respondents felt the country was headed in the right direction after Trump’s election in November, a figure which has been steadily climbing.

Meanwhile, several congressional democrats are planning on protesting tonight’s speech. Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY) is planning on skipping his running tradition of posting up at the edge of the aisle to shake the President’s hand

“This isn’t part of our normal political discourse, this goes beyond ideological and political differences,” Engel said, referring to reports of the Trump administration’s ties to Russia and efforts to repeal ObamaCare. “I will listen to what he has to say today, but I will not greet him and shake his hand.” -Fox News

Furthermore, Democrat Jarid Polis of Colorado will be bringing a guest “saved” by an Obama-era policy which spared the children of illegal immigrants from deportation, and Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA) will roll up with a 35 year old Iranian graduate student affected by Trump’s temporary ban on immigration from 7 terror-linked countries. Maxine Waters is planning on skipping the speech altogether.

I don’t remember any Republicans showing up to Obama’s last congressional address with one of the millions of Americans who saw their Obamacare premium double or triple, or families of Afghanistan 90% civilian casualty drone strike victims, or emaciated children withering away on Michelle Obama’s inedible public school food program – but hey, Trump’s a monster for enforcing existing laws and trying to prevent terrorists from entering the country.

Moderate Muslim Immigrant In Sweden Says 20-30% Of Local Muslims Support ISIS

Amidst all the rape, riots, and grenade attacks which seem to have followed Muslim immigrants into Sweden (and are being aggressively denied by Swedish officials), Infowars’ Paul Joseph Watson issued a challenge for journalists to pop over for a visit to see just what in the fuck is going on.

Journalist Tim Pool accepted that challenge, and has been actively trying to get to the bottom of what’s going on with Muslim immigrants and the violence which has swept the country.

For his efforts, Pool has received death threats:

And was present in Malmo during the latest grenade attack:

In Pool’s latest video, he interviews a Muslim immigrant named Mohammed in the “no-go” area of Malmo. He is a self described member of the terrorist group Hezbollah, who sees Trump as a dictator and looks forward to the day Israel falls to the Palestinians.

Poole: You think what is Israel now will become Palestine?

Immigrant: Exactly, 100%… There will be a day that it will disappear. They have weapons, they have power, they have what they have, but still – you know, Hezbollah not gonna be quiet for that, and there will happen something.

Mohammed also suggests that 20-30% of Muslims in Sweden support the head choppers over at ISIS:

Poole: You said this area is 95% Muslim. Do you think most the people here feel the same way as you?

Immigrant: There is maybe, of this 95%, there is maybe 70% like me… But the rest, for sure, they support ISIS.

Lovely. And Hillary Clinton wanted to import this ideology into a quiet neighborhood near you.

If you would like to support Tim Poole, you can send a few bucks his way here.

Friendly Dinosaur Warren Buffett Thinks WSJ And NYT Have “Assured Future” Thanks To Digital Subscription Models

I know Warren Buffet is hallowed ground for some of you, but the Oracle from Omaha just cobbled together the weakest investment thesis since Yahoo! bought Broadcast.com, making Mark Cuban the luckiest son of a bitch on the face of the planet – even if he does consistently pick losing teams.

Get this – Buffet, who’s never sent a Tweet, thinks that Rupert Murdoch’s Wall St. Jounal (of recent failed PewDiePie hit-job fame) and the New York Times $NYT (of generally failing fame) are going to be the only two publications with an “assured future” thanks to their robust online models. Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post (of government mouthpiece fame) gets an honorable mention.

There are only two papers in the United States that I think have an assured future because they have a successful internet model to go with their print model, and that’s the Journal and the New York Times. They have developed an online presence that people will pay for.

Now the third that may do it, again going back to Bezos, is the Washington Post – and he’s improved dramatically their situation online, so it’s conceivable that their math works.

Sorry Warren – faith in the MSM is completely broken, and people are increasingly migrating to sites like ZeroHedge and iBankCoin to avoid corporate-globalist propaganda. Plus, anything in the WSJ / NYT is available from about a dozen sources for free.

Now let’s take a look at how WSJ and WaPo are actually doing in terms of internet traffic – the cornerstone of Warren’s rad thesis – especially since iBankCoin’s “clickgate” article showed how mystery internet traffic from China as measured by Alexa.com (which shares an owner with the Washington Post) appeared to be synthetically inflating their rankings. Interestingly, the Chinese traffic has suddenly disappeared from the Alexa metrics, painting a dramatically different picture of NYT and WaPo’s penetration in the digital space.

Sorry Warren – these papers all suck, they’re being exposed for sucking, and you’re on the wrong side of the trade.

Of hilarious note, Squawk Box’s Becky Quick asked Buffet about “assholes” at the end of the interview!

Becky: So, how often do you think “that guy’s an asshole” but not tell him

Buffet: Well I’ve certainly thought that over the years, but it hasn’t all been guys either!

Warren gets a few bonus points for handling that like a boss – even if he needs to fire whichever ivy league MBA told him digital subscriptions work.

Has David Seaman Been Ben Swann’d? Another PizzaGate Researcher Deletes Entire Social Media Presence

David Seaman is an interesting guy. After kicking off his career in journalism as a staff writer for Jim Cramer’s TheStreet.com, Seaman carved a circuitous path through the MSM – appearing as a guest on ABC News, CNN Headline News, BBC, HuffPost LIVE, The Young Turks, and Fox News. He was ousted from the Huffington Post platform in 2016 for writing two articles about Hillary Clinton’s health, after which Seaman turned his obsessive focus to the controversial topic of #PizzaGate; making dozens of popular videos, tweeting extensively, and calling for the public arrest and execution of those involved.

Some see Seaman as a leading figure in the quest to get to the bottom of the #PizzaGate scandal, while others view him as nothing more than a self-promoting opportunist.

Wherever you fall on the spectrum of Seaman, the PizzaGate researcher’s Twitter, Youtube, and Vid.me accounts were all mysteriously deleted in the last 48 hours and he has gone dark – eerily reminiscent of Ben Swann, the CBS affiliate reporter who suddenly deleted his social media presence after a widely shared report on #PizzaGate (for those concerned about Swann, he is alive – though his social media is still dark and he has not followed up on his controversial report).

Concern for Seaman has been expressed throughout social media:

Infowars’ Paul Joseph Watson has chimed in:

Seaman’s last gab.ai message was cryptic:

Also of note; the day before Seaman’s media blackout, Buzzfeed published a hit-piece attempting to discredit him.

Despite the sudden deletion of content, a fellow “pizza” researcher who is friends with Seaman has apparently been in contact with him – suggesting he’s immensely stressed out, and posting a screenshot from a private conversation with David in which he says he has been advised by “the right people” and can explain all in one week:

Similar words were contained in Ben Swann’s Twitter sign-off: It’s all good

An anonymous user on Voat who also claims to be a friend of David’s also posted about the situation:

David’s a friend of mine. I posted this on Donald Trump’s subreddit and it was deleted in under a minute. His Paypal has been frozen twice, his Patreon keeps getting messed with, bank cards frozen, police patrol cars regularly in front of his apartment to intimidate him. When I hang out with him, he keeps his cell phone in another room, says he can’t stand the constant harassment emails and messages he receives every minute.

While visiting friends in Maryland, he was poisoned and had serious cardiac problems for a day. He’s gotten kind of publicly religious and strange since then because he said he saw the angelic lights when his heart stopped. “Alohim are real” he texted me. Since then, he vomits constantly and has panic attacks, I don’t know what they poisoned him with but he seems different. Frail.

He told me he deleted his Twitter because he can’t take any more criticism or threats until his health recovers.

I can only think of a few explanations for what’s going on:

Seaman wants to avoid being sued into the stone age after Alex Jones and others recently backed off the pizza narrative – though for a seemingly fearless guy living off YouTube ad revenue and Patron supporters, the thought of bankruptcy doesn’t seem like it would phase him.

or

Seaman was in fact told by “the right people” to delete his accounts for some reason yet to be revealed, and it’s actually “all good.”

or

Seaman, who had reported mysterious police cars outside of his apartment as well as a poisoning, has been silenced by bad guys.

or

This is a publicity stunt.

What say you?

#DemExit: Bernie Supporters Defecting After DNC Appoints Clinton Shill Tom Perez As New Chair

The DNC may have just handed President Trump his second term, as Bernie Sanders supporters are revolting against the Democratic Party’s new chairman, Tom Perez (who appears to be a moron). He’s a complete and utter establishment shill who actively assisted the Clinton campaign in destroying Bernie Sanders – and many in the DNC are defecting… The hashtag #DemExit is trending, bigly.

Let’s look at a few notable examples of Tom Perez’s overt shillery:

Flip:

We heard loudly and clearly yesterday from Bernie supporters that the process was rigged and it was. And you’ve got to be honest about it. That’s why we need a chair who is transparent,” 2/8/2017nbc

Flop:

Actively conspired against Bernie Sanders:

RIP DNC:

LOL!

I know I’ve posted this like 6 times – but Glenn Greenwald has the best advice for the failing DNC:

Despite Arrest Of Top Advisor And Bodyguard, New Poll Shows Le Pen Is Mightier Than Les Globalists

It’s coming…

French authorities have made yet another monumental error in judgment after arresting Marine Le Pen’s chief of staff and bodyguard for questioning over alleged misuse of public funds to pay parliamentary assistants – the equivalent of a jaywalking ticket in terms of shits given. By making le mountain out of le molehill, this latest debacle by French authorities is the most recent in a long list of backfired attempts to delegitimize the National Front candidate – including French banks refusing to lend money to her campaign, and the MSM’s ongoing hit-job (calling Le Pen “far-right” and “extreme” on a regular basis, for example).

These tactics seem to be working about as well as they did with Trump. Keep it up French establishment – you’ve effectively solidified Le Pen’s underdog status. In case you hadn’t noticed, your country is being burned to the ground by foreign invaders and France is becoming one giant no-go zone. Instead of addressing the problem, you’ve doubled down on multiculturalism by continuing to welcome a hoard of migrants – 70% of which are “men of fighting age.” Oops. Sad. etc.

The latest national poll shows support for Le Pen SURGING:

With Le Pen’s promise to return france to Economic sovereignty, it goes without saying that if she is elected in May, the European Union will be living on borrowed time. Frexit will happen and the ECB backstop will dissolve – considering Germany and France are it’s largest contributors. Italy’s solvency is #FakeNews with it’s 133% debt/gdp ratio; and the rest of the PIIGS are vulnerable to the big bad wolf of defaults. I wonder if Italy’s recent legislation for “extraordinary and temporary state support” of their largest bank was a canary in the coal mine of ECB death? The fact that Germany is pissed about it may be a clue.

What then? Euro hyperinflation as confidence is lost, or a Euro split to try and avoid this? A reversion to individual currencies as the entire EU experiment fails? The Netherlands is already considering dumping the at-risk currency. If any of these scenarios start to pan out, scared money will undoubtedly flock to the usual suspects; US Treasuries and other “safe” sovereign bonds, Dollars, precious metals, US real estate, and other safe havens. Volatility will be back, and all you freeloading pikers will buy Exodus subscriptions to try and salvage your nest eggs.

Of course, the doom trade is never that simple, and most everyone got the Trump trade wrong. I’m sure the EU will find a way to cover up the carnage and pretend everything is fine, and we’ll see Dow 30K before any of that happens – so keep partying until the music stops, but don’t get caught without a chair (my most stupidest analogy to date).

Banned HuffPo Contributor: Trump “Must Go Through Hell Every Day If This Is How The Press Is Behaving”

What happens when a prolific progressive Huffington Post contributor deviates from the narrative and publishes an article admitting Donald Trump was correct about something?

HuffPo deletes the article and bans the guy, of course!

Norwegian journalist, author, and world traveler René Zografos had the audacity to suggest that Donald Trump was telling the truth about Sweden’s ongoing nightmare related to the violent tidal wave of predominantly North African refugees. Zografos wrote:

It’s well known for Scandinavians and other Europeans that liberal immigration comes with drugs, rapes, gang wars, robbery and violence. Additional to that we see the respective nations cultures fading away, for good and for bad.

Hours after publication, the article was gone – and Zografos’ access to the Huffington Post was revoked:

When reached for comment, Zografos’ told iBankCoin:

I just think this it’s a silly behavior, and actually a bit scary, because free press is crucial in our world. I don’t always agree with Trump, but he must go through hell everyday if this is how the press is behaving.

For the liberal media to actively ignore, suppress, and lie about what’s going on in Sweden (which now has a grenade problem of all things, which did not exist prior to 2012) is beyond the pale. Between no-go zones, riots, news crews being assaulted, and a recently earned reputation as the “rape capital of Europe” – all of which have been vehemently denied by the MSM and the hypocritical Swedish government, the level of propaganda and cover-up is astounding.

Mr. Zografos discussed the incident on Twitter:

In the meantime, Mr. Zografos granted iBankCoin permission to republish his now-deleted article in it’s entirety:

Sweden has huge problems because of liberal immigration policy
Many journalists around the world are eager to condemn Donald Trump no matter what. When he tweeted about immigration in Sweden few days ago, the social media exploded. Most of the opponent said that Trump had made up the immigration problem Sweden are having. They are wrong.
Only hours later there was a riot of violence and destructions by immigrants in the capitol of Sweden, Stockholm. The police was forced to shoot with ammunition to put and end to it. In Malmö, another city south in Sweden they have struggle with gang violence and lawlessness for years. So when Trump talk about that Sweden have an immigration problem he is actually spot on.
It’s well known for Scandinavians and other Europeans that liberal immigration comes with drugs, rapes, gang wars, robbery and violence. Additional to that we see the respective nations cultures fading away, for good and for bad.
But the immigration problem is not only a Swedish predicament. The truth is, that several European cities have huge immigration problems where even the police force is afraid to interfere in some locations in these cities. UK, France and several other European countries are changing rapidly with extreme quantity of immigration. I’m not saying immigration is only bad, but a lot of problems come with poor immigration policy, as consequences we get violence, terror and gangs. The fact is that the press here in Europe hasn’t doing their job properly. There is this fear for journalists to not report the basic truth – which is that Europe has enormous problems that comes from liberal immigration politics, and as we also now can see in Sweden, but also here in Norway. But it’s not political correct for journalists to say or write that immigration in Europe is unsuccessful. When that said, most of the people that come from other countries are behaving flawless and are a gift to our society, but then again to report that everything is all good is simply wrong and these journalists should find another job, because they do not have enough integrity that requires to be decent journalist.

Bannon Lays It Out: “The MSM Better Understand Something – All Of Those Promises Are Going To Be Implemented”

Top Trump strategist Steve Bannon sat down with Reince Priebus at CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) and painted a far less acrimonious picture of Trump’s team than the MSM has been shoving down our throats. There were no signs of “Chaos” or discord, for the most part – in fact, Bannon laid out exactly how wrong they are:

If you look at the opposition party and how they portrayed the campaign, how they portrayed the transition, and how they portrayed the administration – it’s always wrong.

If you remember, by the media’s description, the campaign was the most chaotic, most disorganized, most unprofessional, had no earthly idea what they were doing – and then you saw them all crying and weeping that night on the 8th. And the reason it worked is President Trump. Trump had those ideas, had that energy, had that vision, that could galvanize a team around him.

Bannon went on to describe exactly what the media keeps getting wrong – Trump’s agenda:

This is the thing that the mainstream media, or the opposition party, never caught. If you want to see the Trump agenda, it was all in the speeches. He went around to these rallies where those speeches had a tremendous amount of content in them.

I happen to believe, and I think many others do, he’s probably the greatest public speaker in those large arenas since William Jennings Bryan [D-NB 1891 – 1915].

Many many people try to come in and try to convince President Trump, “Hey, you’ve won on this, but this is what you wanna do,” and he’s like “No, I promised the American people this – and this is the plan we’re gonna execute on.” And by the way, that’s what you’ve seen.

The MSM better understand something; all of those promises are going to be implemented.

If you want a look at how Bannon and Preibus feel about each other – this last clip is insightful. Steve’s clearly made Reince his bitch in my humble opinion (excuse the choppy video):
