“A
lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep.” ―
George R.R. Martin, “A Game of Thrones”
In the MSM's unrelenting criticism of
President-elect Donald
Trump (and his transition team), the term “bloodletting”
is weirdly telling of their collectively deluded mind-set. The
Washington Post misuses that precise word in relation to the
unremarkable demotion of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (for the more
experienced Mike Pence) and the departure of former congressman Mike
Rogers (R-MI).
A couple of understandable personnel
changes and The Post's Wednesday
front page radiates: 'Key figures purged'? Likewise, the next day
obviously aggrieved columnist Dana Milbank called Republicans “one
big mess.” The avalanche of farcical and wrongheaded descriptions
persist. Also on Thursday, his colleague Karen DeYoung petulantly
complained of Trump's “still empty” transition government
offices. Newsflash to Ms. DeYoung and her fellow travelers in
liberal la-la land: it's only been eight days since Trump's
victory! (Is she secretly impatient for The Donald's
governance?)
In the postmortem of the 2016
presidential election, failed
Democrats—and their still clueless
sycophants in the press—are the ones actually bloodletting.
Their pollsters repeatedly got everything wrong. Even “newspaper
of record” The New York Times is
losing
money. Yet, the red meat in this scenario is the Democrats as
wholesale
political road kill. It's a titanic trifecta: Crooked
Hillary's unrealized presidential prospects, an absolute
repudiation of anti-American
progressivism, and Barack Obama's
legacy is dead on arrival. While the ground quakes under lame
duck
Democrats' feet, the mindless “squawking” cacophony of
disillusioned ideologues masquerading as journalists resounds.
Hillary
Clinton's well-deserved defeat puts all insulated powerbrokers of
the
coddled beltway bubble ruling class on notice. Today, any
establishment politician (read: RINOs)
still “with
her”—in word or deed—is not with We the People. Our will
has been clearly voiced. Populist Donald Trump's surprise election
to the presidency makes this assessment factual. Therefore, his
famous catchphrase from “The Apprentice” is apropos to Washington
elites: “You're fired.”
Similarly metaphorically pink-slipped
are urbanite talking head prognosticators and the heedless Chicken
Little MSM with their absurdist newspaper propaganda. The
media's baseless criticisms are dishonest exaggerations that deny the
new political reality. Herein lies the problem: their deeply
partisan
“reporting” will consign them to irrelevant background noise.
(Think of the teacher's voice in “Peanuts” cartoons.) Mourning
has indeed come to them, but a new dawn has come to America.
