Nancy Pelosium, the densest element in the known universe, couldn’t get her way, had a meltdown, threw her weight around, and cancelled the State of the Union address. Her actions are, in effect, the MOAB of dirty bombs in politics. Stealing from FDR, this will be “a date which will live in infamy.”
From CNBC, “Showdown: Trump pledges ‘alternative’ event after Pelosi blocks State of the Union.”
Democrats will block President Donald Trump from giving his State of the Union address in the House chamber until the partial government shutdown ends, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday.
After Pelosi’s announcement, the president appeared to give up on his earlier promise to go on with his speech as planned. He quickly said he would hold an unspecified “alternative” event and contended that the California Democrat is “afraid of the truth.” He called Pelosi’s move “a great blotch on the incredible country that we all love.”
What a difference a couple of years and a new President make in how the New York Times reports on the California fire situation. The New York Times, in several articles, predicted those very ‘self-same’ fires to which Donald Trump recently observed that California’s broken Fire Management System bore some responsibility. For nearly 2 1/2 years the NYT pointed out (credit where credit is due) that California was tinderbox waiting for a spark and that the ‘fuel load’ was incomprehensible. And yet, let Trump point out the obvious, the same point made by the newspaper for years, they fact-check Trump and say, “it’s complicated.” This is why “FakeNews” claims resonate with any thinking person that stays moderately informed and has even a bare minimum of critical thinking ability.
