The Democrats have a huge messaging problem on their hands. They want to get rid of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) branch of Homeland Security, because they are “championing” llegal immigration. This is not a smart political move. Along with the Democrats’ “Abolish ICE” midterm election platform comes the natural consequences of the actions…
The Russian Collusion Paradox
There’s a huge problem with the Russian Collusion paradigm in the media, and few people are willing to talk about it. It’s really simple: If Russia tried to attack the US during the election through cyberwarfare, but everyone in the intel and hacking community say that it had no actual effect on the election, does…
The FBI Made a Big Mistake on Friday
Rod Rosenstein, the Deputy Director of the FBI, made a huge announcement yesterday about indicting a bunch of Russian military officials for hacking the 2016 election. The problem is that Rosenstein has nothing to really show for his indictments, and the whole thing looks like a dog and pony show. Worse, he exposed the FBI…
Thoughts of the Day (6/21/18)
1. I’m enjoying the left having a snitfit over the immigration debate. It’s not like Obama didn’t have the same issue (he did) or that it’s been on the books since 1997 (see SCOTUS Flores decision, and the amended 2016 decisions). This is entirely made out of whole cloth to protect the Democrats from the…
The IG Report’s Second Take
Don't forget to check out the First Take on the IG Report! Before I get into the serious details here, I have one statement to make: The Inspector General and his IG Report cannot, on its own, press charges against anyone in the FBI and DOJ. That’s not how it works. He can only focus…
The Left, their Ongoing Cultural Freakout, and the Midterm elections.
It’s June. How bad is the midterm elections going to look for the left? My prediction? Thanks in large part to their crass media commentary and bully behavior on social media, pretty damn bad. You can't pull the crap that Samantha Bee and Michelle Wollf did without some serious cultural repercussions. (Shut your mouths, you…
How to Create a Narrative (and not)
(First rule of media: don't be boring or too much work!) Imagine that you have three minutes to tell 300 people your sales pitch. If you nail it, you’ll get all 300 people to buy your product. To engage your target audience, you need to keep your narratives simple and on point. Anything that requires…
Roseanne and Samantha Bee Walk into a Bar….
……and immediately start cussing up a storm, and everyone else leaves the bar in disgust. I won’t repeat either of their comments here, but you can find them online if you want to. However, in a move that should shock no one, Roseanne was fired by ABC and her show was cancelled. But I’ll go…
