Coal - the original black gold, now cleaner and meaner.
Finally a President after 30 years who is with the common citizens instead of being against them.
-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

If Harry Truman was right about this,
quote:
All the president is, is a glorified public relations man who spends his time flattering, kissing, and kicking people to get them to do what they are supposed to do anyway.
then Donald Trump is likely to be the most accomplished President in history.
The man seems to have an instinctive genius for PR, the media.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I can't stand John Kasich, but this is a pretty good line:
Kasich says after a White House meeting now that Trump is the president,
" it's sort of like being on an airplane. You want to root for the pilot ."

CNN, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Politico, and BuzzFeed were excluded from a White House press briefing today. Time magazine and AP did not attend the briefing in protest. I usually avoid links to CNN articles, but in this case it seems appropriate:
Ah, here is a URL that I got from a CNN "reporter" on Twitter:
"Much of the briefing focused on CNN’s reporting about White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus’ discussions with the FBI over reports that Trump’s top advisers were in contact with Russian government officials. But CNN was not present."
Last time something like this happened, was all the way back to .......... barack obama
Dean Baqeut, executive editor of the New York Times, said: “Nothing like this has ever happened at the White House in our long history of covering multiple administrations of different parties.”
However, as the New York Times itself reported in 2015, President Barack Obama met privately with liberal reporters and columnists frequently throughout his tenure in office — “more than a dozen” times. And although he occasionally invited conservative columnists, “Liberal-leaning columnists from newspapers tend to dominate at Mr. Obama’s secret sessions.”
Obama’s private briefings for liberal members of the media, which excluded conservatives, were well-documented. A few:
December 2012: Several journalists reported that MSNBC hosts were meeting privately with President Obama to discuss the impending “fiscal cliff” fight.
May 2013: NPR’s Ari Shapiro reported that President Obama was meeting privately with “lefty columnists,” but hastened to add that there was “nothing nefarious” about it.
November 2013: President Obama met again with liberal journalists, as Obamacare struggled with the failure of healthcare.gov and other problems.
March 2015: Politico’s media reporter, Hadas Gold, reported that “a group of journalists and columnists,” all on the left, met privately with President Obama, but the White House refused to say “who else was at the meeting or what was discussed.”

Imagine what things would be like right now if Clinton had won.
I want to keep this thought before me every day. Every day. We will all need this thought to sustain us through the nonstop lies and attacks against the President.
