NY Times Report: Trump, RNC are Outraising Obama

The New York Times admitted that President Donald Trump’s 2020 fundraising prowess was better than where former President Obama was in 2012 cycle in its article, “Trump and RNC Raised $105 Million in 2nd Quarter, Outdoing Obama.”

The Times’ Annie Karni and Maggie Haberman wrote: “[T]he amount of money that was both raised and stored away will be daunting for Mr. Trump’s eventual challenger … Mr. Trump rose to the presidency with fewer staff members and less money than his opponent, Hillary Clinton. This time, he will have the Republican Party’s fund-raising mechanism, as well as the powers of the presidency, bolstering his raw personal appeal to his base, even as he tries to present himself as the outsider to the political establishment that he once was.”

No doubt that Republicans and other Trump supporters have money. This doesn’t surprise me in the least.

Prof calls for public shaming of US Border Patrol so they quit their jobs

The professor’s op-ed comes after Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez compared the illegal immigrant detention centers on the southern border to concentration camps.

“The people on the border aren't forced to be there - they go there on their own will,” 93-year-old Holocaust survivor Ed Mosberg told the New York Post, regarding AOC’s comments. “If someone doesn't know the difference, either they're playing stupid or they just don't care.”

Student Expelled After Saying ‘There Are Only 2 Genders’.

Murray and his mother were phoned once more by the school, requesting they come in for another meeting. At the meeting, Murray was told the issue was debated amongst higher-ups and the conclusion was he could not continue his education at that school. He was expelled.

Academia’s purpose has been reduced to little more than indoctrination.

The Liberal Argument Outline

1. Use spun facts. These can be found on Huffington Post, Daily KOs, MSNBC, and many other liberal sources. What they do is take facts, polls or arguments and add a liberal spin in a weak attempt to make bad news for liberals look good. These are easily debunked and exposed as lies by going to the original source and posting the hard, cold facts with NO spin.
Note: At this point, you have won. It should never take more than one post to win an argument with a liberal. It is recommended that you claim victory and disengage at this point. If you continue, for fun or experimental purposes, no further logic will be forthcoming from the liberals.

2. The next step for the liberal will be to attempt to discredit your source. If it is Fox or any perceived “right wing” source, they will refuse to believe it. If it is a non-partisan source, they will claim it is right wing, if it is a left of center source, they will find another lefty source to “prove” you are wrong. They will not discuss the facts themselves, as they know they have lost. If you must go down this road (there is a high entertainment value), don’t allow this diversion. Go back to the facts.

3. The Limbaugh Defense: This is one that comes out early and often. Although you know they never listen to Rush Limbaugh and have no idea what he says, they will drag him out and claim you are a Ditto head. This is another diversionary tactic. It has no relevance and is an attempt to change the subject. The more desperate they are, the more childish and ridiculous the reference to Limbaugh becomes: Flush, LimpBag, etc. Ignore this and re-post the facts. DO NOT BE DIVERTED.

4. The Personal Attack: Another common thread. Also designed to divert the lost argument. NEVER give any hint of personal information. Even something as innocuous as “I am a chef”. They will attempt to engage you and call you a liar to divert attention from the original lost argument. Ignore this and re-post the facts yet to be refuted.

5. Name Calling: Still another diversion. If you fail to give them any personal information, they will attempt to draw you out to gain more insight into your personal side. Then they will return to step 4. Ignore this.

6. The Liberal Bat Signal: When they find out they are unable to engage you, divert you or goad you into a completely irrelevant topic, they will send out the Bat Signal. This is where a bunch of Liberals (or often, the same one using several names) post a number of rapid fire posts congratulating the Liberal on handing you your head on a platter. This tactic often works on even the most logical and disciplined of us. The urge to rant must be resisted. Your rant will supply them with all the personal insight they need to spew hatred and personal attacks. The best tactic here is to use the same tactic back at them.

Keep in mind, a Liberal will never admit you have a valid point, much less that you won a debate. So, the only reasons to continue a dialog with a liberal after the initial statement of facts that established your victory are for entertainment and educational purposes. If you refuse to take the bait and demand the topic remain on the original premise, they will eventually just go away and try to find someone else that will engage them on their terms.

This is supremely silly.
