Video: Donald Trump Rips MSNBC's Chuck Todd

Those of us on the right know one very simple fact. The mainstream media is in the tank for the White House and lies as a matter of course, whether through overt misstatements or blatant omissions. MSNBC's Chuck Todd is among the worse offenders. That's what makes this so good.

You don't even need to know what Donald Trump and Todd are discussing. All you need to know is that Todd led into the interview by stating a falsehood, that Trump wanted to respond to a poll. Trump calls him on it and doesn't relent until Todd fesses up, which ultimately had to do. While on the ropes, Todd erred on what would normally be an insignificant misstatement but Trump pounced, causing the MSNBC reporter to roll his eyes.

This is also why people like Trump but for some insipid reason, too many people on the right fail to follow the model.

Take note, Republican candidates:

Confirmed: Hillary Clinton Lives in Alternate Universe

There is a difference between 'Diplomacy-speak' and sheer insanity. Hillary Clinton has crossed that line. In this one instance, her rhetoric is so diametrically out of phase with reality that we are left to conclude that either a.) she's an agent of America's enemies, b.) she's insane, or c.) she lives in an alternate universe. Ironically, giving her the benefit of the doubt, which I am doing in this case, requires going with the third option.

Via AFP:

Israeli ministers reacted angrily on Sunday after local media quoted U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as saying she feared for the future of Israel’s democracy and the rights of women in the Jewish state. 

Clinton’s remarks, reportedly made Saturday behind closed doors at the Saban Forum in Washington, made headlines in most Israeli newspapers, which reported them without explaining how they obtained the comments. 

Top-selling Yediot Aharonot said Clinton had expressed concern about a slew of “anti-democratic” bills proposed by right-wing members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. 

And the newspaper said Clinton had described shock at hearing that some buses in Jerusalem were gender segregated and some religious Israeli soldiers refused to attend events where women would sing.

The Hitler-loving Muslim Brotherhood (indisputable facts are not subject to Godwin's Law) is rising to power all across the Middle East as a direct result of policies endorsed by Hillary Clinton. While she complains of gender segregation on buses, agents of the Ikhwan are ushering in Sharia Law, which persecutes women and treats them as less than human.

Then again, Hillary's top aide for eight years was none other than Huma Abedin, whose family has extensive ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Perhaps Hillary has been brainwashed.

Gingrich in 2003: I'm a 'Theodore Roosevelt Republican' and 'Government has to Lead on Healthcare'

Newt Gingrich has rocketed to the poll position in the race for the Republican Party's nomination by impressing conservative voters with his words in late 2011 but it's his words and deeds in the past that may bring him crashing to political earth at some point.

This is likely to be a bit of a drag on his thrust.

Via Breitbart, here is Newt in 2003 saying that Government has to 'lead on Healthcare.' He also refers to himself as a 'Theodore Roosevelt Republican.' That's like saying he's a 'John McCain Republican.' Roosevelt was a progressive and this should bolster the arguments of those who insist Gingrich is big government Republican. This ain't Tea Party talk.



I don't agree with liberals very often at all but I agree with Kirsten Powers here, who says Newt will implode, it's just a question of whether he does it before or after getting the nomination.
