Baltimore, Maryland Monday, September 10, 2018: Today, a lad called a radio talk show to express his profound incredulity over the broadcast comment of some actress, who said, on live TV over the weekend, "where is John Wilkes Booth when we need him?"
The caller continued: "I can tell you where this assassin is. He has come back to life as the [Mainstream] Media."
Who can argue? In 2018, the media has so lost its way that even people like this writer - liberal, a journalism school grad, a trial lawyer - no longer recognize it.
I don't buy into this song and dance about Trump being deserving of all of the Media's deranged expressions. Trump was elected by the American people. He won fair and square. He did not cheat, but Hillary Clinton did. She was caught in the act, but far left operatives have gotten her off the hook, for now. Trump has performed remarkably, considering all of the sickening nonsense thrown at him.
Someone told me that the evil far left would have done all of this "stuff" no matter who was elected, unless it was Hillary. I actually think that is true. The far left hates America and the American Democratic way of doing things. The evil far left believes that unless their people win a given election, the election should be ignored and overturned, whichever is easier. I could only get sick when I saw all the laudatory things said about John McCain. Although in his latter years I disagreed with lots of his political antics, I always admired and respected him. And unlike the hypocrites who took to the airways when he passed, I voted for him when he was matched up against Obama in 2008.
Not to change the point, but the audacity and absurdity of Obama - over this past weekend - taking the credit for the dramatic economic turnaround in these United States, a turnaround that began one second after it became clear that Trump has turned back Hillary's depressing bid to become President, is one of the most absurd, obtuse, and wrong-headed things Barackula has ever spit out. But there was the media, acting like it was true. If I snap my fingers, Mr. Ex-President, will you awake and fall back to reality? Why would he when life, for him, is far more fun when the media makes all of his goofiness seem logical.
A pro-Trump economist on the Council of Economic Advisors held a press conference this morning. In it he said he went back and looked over every imaginable economic indicator to see if even one of them foretold the great economic turn-around before the Trumpster won in November. To the surprise of neither the economist or most other rational Americans, the answer was no. All the numbers were southbound before Donald pulled the upset. But give Barackula credit, with the media having fallen off the deep end, (or jumped,) why not throw out junk science like that? There are bound to be a few dolts who buy in.
Sports: During the many recent months I haven't been writing here, the Major League Baseball season has largely played out. My beloved Orioles have laid a huge egg in 2018. A team that was largely the same one that remained in the hellish AL East race until Labor Day in 2017, was torn apart and thrown asunder. I don't like this kind of thing. If there are aging vets when it comes to rebuild, do it. But the lads the Orioles got rid of were young and up and coming: Machado, Scoop, Britton. These three are among the best three players in all of baseball. You could scheme for a lifetime and not come up with three players like that. What makes you think any of the guys we got in return were anywhere near as good? Only Machado was surely gone come free agency.
I hate to say it, but I think the Oriole brass thought they'd be fired come season's end unless they did something dramatic. So they did. It is really hard to watch what is left. But I do. All the bloody time.
The news is far better when it comes to the Ravens. They scored early and often on Sunday in crushing Buffalo, a team that made the playoffs last season. The final score, 47-3 Ravens, gave firm indication how well Baltimore played and how awful the Bills played. The Baltimore defense was breathtaking. Joe Flacco was nothing short of wonderful. Now, this Thursday night the Ravens travel to Ohio to take on the Bengals. If they post a win there, they could be off to a wonderful season.
