Extra! Extra! Read all about memorable major league baseball achievements and moments involving former college basketball players! Baseball is portrayed as a thinking man's game but only 4% of active MLB players earned college diplomas. Nonetheless, numerous ex-college hoopers had front-row seats to many of the most notable games, transactions and dates in MLB history.

Former Southwest Missouri State hoop standouts Mark Bailey, Jerry Lumpe and Preston Ward provided significant MLB performances on this date.

Former Texas Christian hoopers Harry Kinzy and Dutch Meyer delivered significant American League performances on this date. Unless you habitually pore over the content at baseballlibrary.com, baseballreference.com and nationalpastime.com, following is an August 18 calendar focusing on such versatile MLB athletes:

"Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views." - William F. Buckley Jr.

After selective-belief-in-women creeps suffering TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) had their posteriors handed to them, more than 400 "America Was Never Great" liberal-leaning newspapers with same opinion as confused New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo conducted genuine collusion via group-think gabfest with inept editorial responses to #TheDonald Trumping them. Let's get after them! The cavalier Cuomos of the world claiming "ICE is a bunch of thugs," whether in press or politics, can't comprehend the separation of families involving murdered Mollie Tibbetts and Kate Steinle versus law-breaking illegal immigrants. But what was different about the pro-journalism editorial exercise? Spare us the contrived outrage! Haven't self-anointed Guardians of the Galaxy already been immersed in conservative-hating resistance for an extended period? These are the same phony folks effusive in praise for late Sen. John McCain after emasculated elite promoted en masse the POW's opponent in presidential election in previous decade. But to hypocritical libnuts who wondered "is McCain mentally fit to be president," perhaps the only good Republican is a deceased Republican; especially if the funeral can be weaponized as miscast Meghan fell off her horse again manufacturing a mess as much as her father did in facilitating Russian dirty dossier. If CIA didn't give smear merchants a head's-up, then President Trump will directly inform majority of loathsome losers in the press they've been driving fake news (in a Ford?) in same misguided direction for a longer time than Sen. Dianne Feinstein's 20-year Chinese spy valet trying to figure out what to do with "confidential" letter following one of unlicensed psychologist "Dr. Fraud's" many seemingly heavily-medicated flights.

Media malfeasance of highest order may have been manufactured if intelligence hacks John Brennan (NBC) and James Clapper (CNN) were involved in leaking dirt to the networks subsequently hiring them. It's a byproduct of sordid show that could be called Truth or Consequences featuring smear-artist swamp creatures such as #HollyweirdHarveySwinestein, Fusion GPS filthy bankrollers to the tune of millions of dollars, rigging primary of already mentally-disturbed national political party and biased upper brass of FBI/DOJ. Concurrently, what in hell is happening when a high-priced Clinton machine attorney defends low-level IT staffer for disgraced DNC chair? How fortunate can a McDonald's dropout be? As #DebbieDoesDC amid her "adviser" trying to flee the country in shenanigans appearing to go far beyond bank fraud by the $160,000-per-year IT brothers (about three times going rate), it's time to resist these IQ-less clowns! Giving $400 million to Iran rather than Louisiana flood victims, there are plenty of press(ing)-problem reasons why the symbol of the "deplorable" Democratic Party is a jackass because they're not real bright. Unless waiting for ransom payment in foreign currency in unmarked plane or smitten with strain of "overheated" pneumonia, any Capt. Obvious simpleton including intellectually-lazy press parasites, underwear model John Conyers (a con; not icon) and maudlin #MadMaxine Waters should be able to promptly connect the dots. Exercise a few brain cells by noticing self-righteous Dim mayors for extended periods usually are seasoned diaper-pin donning leftists in charge of decaying or riotous cities such as Atlanta, Baltimore, Charlotte, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Milwaukee, New Orleans, New York, Oakland, Portland, St. Louis (Ferguson) and San Juan. For instance, icy Oakland mayor went out of her way to warn illegal ailens about impending ICE round-up before Minority Leader "Devil Mom" #NannyPathetic extolled the "spark of divinity" in violent MS-13 gang members.

MAGA "winning" walls are closing in on self-righteous leftist lunatics and socialist sycophants. Amid seductive attempts to remove God from party platform, Dems have become a sanctuary for Satanic precepts and history revisionism via anonymous sources such as absent-minded spin-machine attorney Lanny "Go-Fund-Me Backtracker" Davis. Their clown-show conversation convention in Philly, punctuated by demonstrable DNC staff infection (highlighted by prohibiting FBI from checking hacked server) after incorrect guess regarding which restroom to use, was a BleachBit graveyard where #MikaVirus brain-damaged cells went to die after face-lifting bleeding. It wasn't long before the predictably pathetic press corps assembled a City of Brotherly Love support group for the Kaine and Unable (to walk without aid) carnage where #BlackLiesMatter more than #BlueLivesMatter. Fair-minded observers know there is "huge" gold-star difference between immigration-lawyer Wrath of Khan coming more than a decade after Donald Trump was building his business while basket-case Hillary "I Don't Recall" Clinton was boss contemporaneously when dissing Smith family about deceased State Department employee victim of terrorist scum. Seriously? Who actually believes Khan('s) job over the years focused more on a Christian-based U.S. Constitution than Middle Eastern Sharia Law, martyrdom's 72 virgins and watering-down American immigration? Since #BlackRobesMatter, Khan exhibits every credential for Progressives to promote grandstander as 9th "Short" Circuit judge seemingly more concerned about violating Sharia rather than our Constitution.

Speaking of building, let's compare the construction handiwork of each nominee. #TheDonald boasts skyscrapers, luxury hotels and resort golf courses while #ShrillaryRotten has a bungled red-plastic Russia "reset" button and had aides destroying her numerous mobile devices with hammers. Until emerging from her safe space to first learn about DNC manipulation from mess-media reports, aging-gracelessly Over-the-Hillary probably thought 'WikiLeaks' was a STD Bubba contracted while she was away flying her broom with license #666 to rope-around-dope function, video lying to grieving family members in front of their loved one's casket, waddle-dodging bullets or wiping server with specially-laced cloth to shed "boring emails." Taking credit for #MeToo Movement, we need to double check #HarveySwinestein's long list to discern if he had a pet name for delusional dame before, during or after their post-election TV documentary dinner in Manhattan. As self-absorbed/special-status #ShrillaryRotten, putting the "C" in corruption appointing disgraced DNC official to position as her honor(ary)-among-thieves campaign co-chairman, allegedly told former Bill & Hill consultant Dick Morris: "Look, the average Democrat voter (such as Miss Piggy) is just plain stupid. They're easy to manipulate. That's the easy part." No wonder typical CNN producer and DNC agitator planters described their foils as "mentally ill people, that we pay to do shit." The mentally deficient must include comedic "genius" Samantha Bee's Full Frontal gushing portrayal of disgraced NY attorney general Eric Schneiderman as a superhero and disgusting comments condemning Ivanka Trump. Perhaps sleazy Samantha would feel better about herself if the President's delightful daughter donated some attire seconds to the demented dimwit or Nike-brand killer #ColonKrapernick told her: "Let's Do It." How about? "Just Blew It."

Providing pap to such a discerning audience, the pestilent press pimps such as ex-CBS charmer Charlie Rose and MSNBC's #PrissyTingles probably will probe whether #TheDonald directed deflating of buddy Brady's footballs. Whatever the case while groping about Lesley Stahl script, the combination of preening Dimorat politicians such as big-fat-idiot Al Franken(stein) and equally goofy accomplices among #MessMedia simply Aren't Good Enough, Aren't Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People (With Activated Brain Cells) Don't Like Them. Left-wing demented dumpster divers such as eye-rolling Anderson Pooper at CNN aren't just snowflakes apparently subsisting on Jayson Blair and Janet Cooke honorariums. The factories of ignorance digging dirt with "Conway shovel" are a whole damn white-out blizzard looking paler than zero-credibility #GoryGriffin during a video apology (severed head photograph always has wrong individual blurred). Anonymous sources with all of the credibility of Omarosa will tell Kathy's contemptible CNN colleagues, while writing political donation checks almost exclusively to alternate-nostril breather, Macedonian hackers inserted this paragraph before screwing her by manipulating Upper Midwest vote tallies. Maybe the inquisitors hiding behind "some people say" will make it up to blame-game dame by paying big bucks to attend "What the Hell Happened (to Dignity)?" marathon book tour if she also throws in a piece of huckster history (certified birth certificate proving she was named after renowned mountain climber Sir Edmund Hillary or errant bullet dodged in Bosnia race out of plane or BleachBit-laced server-wiping cloth or one of post-subpoena 30,000-plus missing emails acknowledging genesis of Benghazi video hoax or piece from one of her many electronic devices destroyed by hammer or copy of #SickWillie's $500,000 "Uranium One" check from Russia for arousing speech).

Watch Project Veritas expose human debris and dirty dealing from under the (producers) table at the CNN cesspool freak show featuring creepy "Prancer" (Anderson Cooper), dopey "Fredo" (crazy Cuomo) and weepy "Dancer" (Don "See With Ears" Lemon) in prime time. It is easy to discern "Z" stands for zero as in no integrity exhibited by abhorrent animals in zany CNN zoo such as Stormy's low-life lawyer incessantly promoted by Russian-zealous President Jeff Zucker. Is there any doubt AT&T eventually will divest itself of this hunk of junk after answering that "penetrating" question reaching into its wallet or pants (allegedly like Lemon)? Ask yourself which set of "losers" tried harder to sway the presidential election - #MessMedia maggots in cahoots with unmasking #DirtyRice moonlighting as Ace Ventura in their political playpen, AG Loretta "It's a Matter" Lynch dealing from the bottom of the deck with FBI chief/leaker James "Coward" Comey, dismissing volume of non-citizens voting illegally or Russian agents hypnotizing all those "red" counties across America to do their bidding. Despite sanctuary from presstitute pansies such as morally-tainted Cokie Roberts' Southern guilt trip promoting registering "D" for dumb, the more difficult "pivot" was persuading independents and that is where collusion with lame-stream media came into play. If permanently-injured CNBC was part of a horse network rather than peacock, the smear machine would have to be shot after previous woeful performance moderating a Republican debate. Reinforcing what many right-thinkers (not left-feelers) already believe with CNBC's conceited John Whorewood serving as Exhibit A (as in _ss), the unhinged American media can no longer be trusted. Incapable on the job of putting one foot in front of the other even more than deplorable #ShrillaryRotten, their warped make-love-not-war sentiment includes lying to the masses about what comprises a winner following her admitting lying about who was responsible for the murders of individuals under her charge. Whether it is assessing the veracity of an owe-your-gender-one presidential candidate by national political pundits or prominent college basketball coach by the toy department (sports), an overwhelmingly liberal lame-stream press predictably focused on style (Ready For Hillary 2016) over substance (Shrillary for Prisoner 2016) and gave Rick Pitino's polluted program an accountability pass. In the feeble minds of genius lib-nuts hooked on #MorningJerk, it was justifiable or there was rationale for certifiably corrupt influence-peddling Clinton deserving designation as POTUS-in-waiting and Pitino's "free-love" contract with Louisville should be extended another couple of terms for more Best-Little-Whoredorm-In-KY boys-gone-wild recruiting regalia. Twisted minds must think alike as Slick Rick served as Shrillary's post-election ball boy whining about TheDonald similar to many hypocritical coaches such as Shaka Smart and Roy Williams demonstrating self-control about the then president-elect as if it was closing time at upscale Italian bistro in Get-Your-Fill-In-The-Ville.

Influence of stiletto-obsessed big media fond of vile Michelle Wolf monologue is decreasing exponentially under own truly deplorable weight. It was a shame #TheDonald couldn't put the goofball gatekeepers out of their pecan-pie misery and bruise their widdle feelings with a single "You're Fired!" After cry-in Dim(wit)s filled pity-party WAHHHHmbulances upon losing the presidential race and failing to recapture Senate, patronizing college and professional coaches coasted from coast to coast to phony status by protecting their lifeline - access to minority mercenaries. Meanwhile, welcome to the lame-stream media cleaning service, which won't clean up its abysmal act but will sweep things under the rug for the corrupt Clintons from erection with Eve through election eve and from cattle futures through glass ceiling falling down in locked hotel room. Discernment isn't in the DNA of Washington/New York/LA elites such as the Huffington Post, which chose to cover #TheDonald in entertainment rather than political section. Why is America so "blessed" with such a magnitude of it-takes-a-village idiots in the press? Deplorable before deplorable became cool, their corruption cup runneth over exemplified by condescending Washington Compost columnist Dana Milbank asking the DNC to do the majority of the opposition research for a reflexively hostile "The Ten Plagues of Trump" piece of spit before media maggot incurred Trump-induced malady. #TheDonald also was responsible for Milbank going through high school and college without a date plus bed-wetting episodes during same time frame and thereafter. Face it as lyin' eyes are supplemented by lyin' emails and rigged #Dimorat primary! If the farce-to-be-reckoned-with media was competent at its job, there wouldn't be need for WikiLeaks to shine the light of truth ("persecution") on "Dirty Donna" #Brazila pounding her suspect CNN Christian woman chest or detailing how the dishonest Clintons went from selling the Lincoln bedroom to selling Honest Abe's entire nation. Call the mess-media debris Lyin' Brian fallout as the pathetic press sniffed Dr. Ben droppings similar to "The View" pack of demented dogs doggedly trying to prove #TheDonald used Russian dressing on his salad or sandwich. How promptly did #Dimorat fraudulent feminist "leaders" or porker-borker ABC vixens whine about anyone coerced to view sweaty Swinestein massage, "a con" in Congressional underwear model John Conyers, full-throated Frenchy Franken wet-kiss fantasy following hands-full Sinator hug or their corrosive exploitation of adolescent-sounding 52-year-old Dr. Fraud?

In a previous election cycle before dumb rumps foamed at the mouth attacking Trump's family, a slobbering NBC anchor Brian "Save the Tin Foil" Williams of climate-change commercial fame (a/k/a self-proclaimed patriot) was fond of displaying adoring news magazine "halo" covers to failed ex-President Barack Obama and then asking if His Earness' mother would have liked the image. No wonder Williams, another thrill-down-his-leg Peacock employee, was criticized for such a softball interview of Obama, who seems more comfortable in a mosque and exhibits more cartoon-like aggression toward Christian Conservatives dictating rules of engagement than to cartoon-hating Muslim marauders murdering Seal Team 6 patriots or a nervy CNN host-ette lecturing a former Navy SEAL about ethics. Since four-Pinocchio nose-for-news Williams is in dire need of a drool bucket and truth serum, perhaps one of his echo-chamber Clinton-camp counterparts who isn't certified Obama Orgasmic should brandish photos of murdered Americans in front of pen-and-a-phone POTUS and ask DingleBarry if he sleeps well at night knowing the Monarch Messiah did everything humanly possible ("Leave No Man Behind") before and during the Benghazi consulate attack to protect and save these hero sons of steadfast mothers. The Drone Ranger, refusing to provide Benghazi attack-night itinerary amid whatever situation-room manly game playing with body-man Reggie Love, could also be asked what was the "dishonor-the-memory" initiative for give-me-a-break trusted "cloth-wiping comrade" when the former Secretary of State flippantly said during previous testimony: "What difference does it make?"

Feeling any Clinton Corruption Fatigue as the contemptible couple and cu-cu immunity minions such as overbearing Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban and Muslim marauder Keith Ellison drinking their fool-aid claim they're doing the Lord's foundation work via Mount Everest of lies? Shouldn't Cuban be a mite more concerned about his renegade front office? Astute observers donning "Make Martha/Mika/Schmucky/ChelseaHandler Weep Again" caps are still waiting on the Transparent Titans to acknowledge what percentage of Muslims are deplorable due to their religion's genuine sexism and homophobia. It seems as if every word the disgusting duo utters is a fabrication, including "and" and "the," while exposing their grandchildren and dense daughter to all sorts of maladies. Insofar as "I Am Woman/Hear Me Bore" (curing insomnia even more than fossilized sex-expert socialist/Russia honeymooner/Muppet Show balcony babbler Bozo Bernie) and a vital general weren't interviewed by the less-than-thorough accountability review board, the difference could be a "smidgeon" of honesty with the country's citizens boasting a triple-digit IQ vs. cover-up deception with much of the misguided media such as ABC phony journalist Gorgeous George serving as maddening wicked accomplices. After a geriatric "Free Spit vs. Bull Spit" duel, a probing press remained sitting on the bottom-feeder sideline missing as much as the Rose Law Firm documents collecting dust on a table years ago in Hillary the Horrible's White House office (probably under Bubba's strategically-placed cigar box) or authenticity of Lyin' Brian's stories. When she mentions private server, is "C" stands for Clinton referring to "C" for computer activity in limbo or "C" for carnal activity by #SickWillie with latest bimbo or "C" for curvature of golf drive and erect organ. Media misfits keep up with facts and vital news as well as former First Fabricator does her hustler husband's "Energizer" Honey and ex-VP's daughter/"undercover" journalist after serial sexual harasser #SickWillie's number of extra-martial affairs more than doubled the age of a pizza-delivering intern in the Oral Office. In the wake of Moonlite Bunny Ranch hookers endorsing Stepford Shrillary, Bimbo-chasing Bubba probably headed West Old Man to herd a "load of bull" and join Lamar Odom in verifying level of libido support unless hedge-fund billionaire buddy Jeffrey Epstein arranged another trip as crooked as Peyronie's Disease to Virgin Islands.

Speaking of arousal, perhaps saucy Megyn Kelly, after "The Lady in Red" pries herself loose from memorialized unwanted Roger Ailes haunting hug or blood reference or mooching off O'Reilly ratings, can lure the "I-wasn't-thinking-a-lot" Compassionate Communist to an authentic interview focusing on more than Hot Sauce in purse. Despite viewers having to settle for more of facelift-feuding Kelly's annoying lame one-liners and voice inflections while more interested in setting stage for contract negotiations, at least the shrewd ex-lawyer knows a jury needs to be comprised of peers of the accused shrew. In this instance, it will be 12 liars, con artists and/or corrupt politicos resembling her shady staff and haughty hangers-on. Beyond driving her spouse crazy to where he can't define "is" and probably installed a bed rather than desk in his Harlem office, the only thing HRC's bloated carcass has driven in the last 20-plus years is a broom with license #666. The First Felon's dignity bound together with duct tape after flaunting defense of deviant accused of raping a 12-year-old girl, Ms. Re-set Button also apparently hasn't done the wash enough like common folk to know how to tell "co-worker" to get stain off a dress. Between choleric coughing fits choking on her own Demonrat drivel, seems as if the Hag Been was too busy selecting original Star Trek wardrobe while ignoring pleas from a soon-to-be murdered sacrificial-lamb ambassador seeking more security. Only "I'm With Her" gullible groupies grasp how he couldn't get through protective maze although someone as vital as virile actor Ben Affleck was anointed with Hillaryous' direct email amid her compromising shoddy handling of top-secret-plus communiques. Unable to spell Hill without back-to-back L's; thus can't wait to find out what was Barry's pseudonym in emails between the two Losers. Responding to Russian hackers at rare press conference or not, look for her to tersely say: "I did not have inappropriate email with that server." It was just as well press conferences were rare for worn-out "Woodsy" because honest Americans can't stand to gaze at her super-predator lying eyes. Hopefully, Mateen will "order" her to don burka for any future stern Q-and-A session or ad when She-ria Law secures royalty from BleachBit for name change of disk-space "cleaning" product to BleachBit(ch). Puke press fan-club protestations notwithstanding, lock her up is assuredly "what should happen" after $50 million underwriting of fake dossier on #TheDonald triggering a cooking-the-books FISA application from FBI/DOJ's biased brass and leaking to CNN by jaded James Claptrapper.

Anyone with a brain wave knew right off the bat "sleep-deprived" Hil-liar-y (thought she said "don't feel no ways tired") was fibbing about bogus Bosnia sniper-fire battle when Cacklin' Cankles claimed she "ran" rather than waddling over to pose for photographs with her iPhone and "proud-every-day" teenage daughter at the time. ISIS probably is using video of haggard Hillary's escape artistry, comparable to facts inventor's tale to the unwashed masses about Chelsea jogging around the World Trade Center on 9/11, to instruct recruits how to elude enemy gunfire. Excessive lying and fake news putting lives at risk takes a lot out of an old geezer, leaving one with "very low energy" and bags under their eyes while protecting Wall Street speech transcripts more than national top secrets on private server. Apparently in dire need again of beauty sleep, she cut Z's instead of getting vital intelligence briefing just days after the Benghazi attack. No wonder Sleepy avoided family members of victims and was uninterested in viewing riveting movie 13 Hours inasmuch as George-Soros-in-drag "already slept through it once." Ignoring more than 600 requests for security from "friend" she never talked with after hiring him, did the well-traveled Secretary of State, sporting a fake smile reeking of psychopath, savage the truth maneuvering more adroitly than "the guys out for a walk" who savaged four Americans in Libya? Donning a wig or not, perhaps she could have moved more adroitly if been able to join the Marines. Keg Legs' dressing-down actions such as server-wiping come out of the blue similar to wiping superior-server Monica's DNA-stained blue dress or hurling a blue vase stemming from hubby's blue-night(gown) special at K(neepad)mart. No wonder empty-suit Joe Lockhart must have been black-and-blue tackling empty-stadium-seat duties as NFL p.r. chief with downward spiraling ratings after previous spin-doctor responsibilities (without donning helmet) in the brain-damaged Clinton Out House.

In a rare moment of gold-mettle winning candor among DC swamp creatures and #MessMedia glamorizing Kim Jong Un's sister during Winter Olympics, former DNC Chairman Ed Rendell implied majority of the left's nasty female supporters are ugly. Hitlery's hugely-hyphenated hatchet hags/goon girls/treacherous toadies fond of "If I Had a Hammer" lyrics, including Muslim Brotherhood-connected Ms. Huma Abedin-Weiner-Danger-Mongoose, left a permanent "stain" on credibility by discarding their Blackberry, which should earn each of them a "term" (four years behind bars) unless investigators are card-carrying Dimocraps or politically savvy as Charles Barkley's playing the race card. An above-the-law home-brew email account utilized on government time "transparently" describes orchestrating mindset of the frosty frequent-flyer faker forgetting to bring her pretty-and-pink outfit out of cesspool mothballs (rather than "drowned rat" look or pretty-in-prison-suit-orange) while explaining with grating voice if didn't-really-think-it-through Snapchat Queen had sufficient sleep after yoga workout when deleting more than 30,000 "personal" emails. Long before she accrued wrinkle filler by the barrel with her 4-H Fan Club President Angrier Mitchell (Hill's Haughty Hack Horde), you can go to HELLary for ethical lapses all the way back to her involvement in the Watergate probe. Talking "past" normal Americans, the height of short-circuiting diabolical "diplomacy" would be if hacked emails prove she armed jihadists in Syria (including ISIS) or triggered "if-he-has-to-leave" execution of Iranian nuclear scientist/informant Amiri.

If no Little Rock offspring, Olympian swimmer lyin' Ryan Lochte must be Chelsea's long-lost brother or infected by airborne exposure to "overheated" Clinton-speak. In a best-case scenario, the ratio of Over-the-Hill's deleted emails from an apparently premeditated setup indicates she spent more than half of her arduous labor conducting personal business circling the sewer drain on government time despite her sordid spouse failing to use email. As Yoda Jr. lackey Cheryl Mills does her reset-button bidding en route to immunity status, it takes a village idiot to fail to discern the litany of lies whenever the Margaret Sanger devotee's lips are moving; although comedy relief is welcomed when repulsive reprobate embraces black voice imitation mode. While the furor among cultist mouthpieces depended on what the meaning of classified is, a rendezvous in a dimly-lit parking garage wasn't necessary for Hillary's email scandal to remind Washington Post Watergate sleuth Bob Woodward of the Nixon tapes. If accurate about her emails would have been safer on Ashley Madison's cheating website according to former NBC news reporter Fred Francis, the alleged world's smartest woman (despite failing to discern "header" spouse was in adjacent room securing from Monica) is "Queen of the Bile" unqualified to even carry bed-pan urine in or around the nation's capitol. Always confusing to the unwashed exemplified by her stance on dealing with ISIS (whether upper or lower case, defining is-is defies description for her and sordid spouse), the Democratic Dominatrix's theme song at coronation ceremonies should have emanated from a Leslie Gore tune with the following updated lyrics: "It's my Party and I can lie if I want to . . . ."

In the meantime while blaming Colin Powell for email edicts, we anticipated another Goiter Goddess tear-fest at a Cafe' Expresso so the serfs and plebeians (militant feminists, welfare magnets, victim-hood vultures, societal illegals, lazy leeches, retread hippies, Hollyweird selfie sluts, etc.) "feel" compelled to vote for the ultimate empty pants suit because the personality-deficit-disorder eyesore is "sad as Eeyore." How convenient the State Department attorney (Katherine Duval) in charge of document production in classified information scandal had a stint at IRS putting her at center of another high-profile missing-email case. Upon a smoking gun emerging during another FBI probe, it should be relayed to the paw-some presidential candidate in the following "classified" way: "Say 'hello' to my little friend (ghost of John Dean or non-wiped server containing pertinent information)." If the wicked witch falls off national schoolmarm wannabee campaign broom, she shouldn't balk taking a "Balkan run" so a departure door doesn't hit prolific place where the Good Lord amply split her! But if Grandma the Great's grating gatlin gun (a/k/a voice) ever is dispatched to jail, who will be there to succeed the Secretary of Yoga in supporting all the forlorn females and children around the world by wearing red outfit? For crying out loud, how long will we be subjected to Curse Ratchet barking about needing to clarify on her classified statement regarding clarification of the statement she'd previously tried to clarify? Upon seeking a future headline if thank-God-she's-gone AG Loretta Lynch properly defines gross negligence, don't be stunned if e-nailed Hillary's hell-on-earth cellmate sues for "cruel and unusual punishment" around the time Sean Penn conducts an El Chapo-like interview for Rolling Stone. If her sewer side of the aisle succeed in ridding Gitmo of disgusting terrorists, it would be fitting if she was incarcerated there cleaning toilets "like with a cloth or something" as their replacement symbolizing Central Committee corruption. Surely, such an outcome is more appropriate than charging dupes to attend a book function or screed and then persistently whine to them. Similar "hearing-impaired" Dimorat Senators such as Bozo Blumenthal (fake soldier), groping T-Bone Booker (fake Newark character before fake Spartacus), "Turban" Durbin (fake WH meetings), Cursing Kirsten, Kamala "What Can Old (Wee Willie) Brown Do For Me?" Harris, Leaker Leahy and Lie-a-lotta Warren (fake squaw) helped orchestrate Judge Kavanaugh chaos. After becoming omniscient from reading inane H.S. yearbook blurbs and looking deep into Googly Eyes of Blaze, this consortium of character-assassinating human debris would be a mite more impressive if they were qualified to be colleague Feinstein's deceitful driver. Dim Diane's stem-winding staff may extemporaneously deny everything, but her financial ties to China are extensive before playing shameless super sleuth involving hail-mary/dirty-tricks rumor forwarded to FBI about ice-throwing Kavanaugh as a teenager.

Are the uncouth and crude - rubes in flyover country with tentacles reaching more and more to Upper Midwest - required to stop constructing boxcars and reinforce at least one inquiry for which we're entitled a direct answer? Loathsome #ShrillaryRotten, as callous as probable supporters and depraved Josephine Mengele baby butchers from Planned Profithood flushing down an organic salad with red wine while the ghouls gleefully discussed "crunchy" dismembering of a "17-weeker" or Lamborghini dreaming, needs to undergo a polygraph test to gauge her truth telling. If not a veracity quiz amid the Dims' war on words narrative, then how about a driving test since she is so fond of mingling with commoners evidenced by her rope-around-dope during a holiday parade? The Dimorat dilemma stemming from Benghazi bungling, IRS mess and self-serving server are textbook examples of cheesy corruption. Weep for our nation because thumb(drive) suckers/bed wetters among the mess media and political players needing brain bleach are in positions of power rather than rooms with padded walls. Memo to nanny-state speech-control puppeteers: What does the "I" in ISIS/ISIL stand for although the "I" in impudent accurately describes cooking-the-books INTEL about waging war against the terrorists? Amid the Obama Out House whining and dining excessively with Planned Murderhood, the cultural hope and change among the intellectually and morally bankrupt is on steroids. How else can observer explain vanity of Bruce Jenner evolving nearly 40 years after Wheaties Box appearance to secure a social-engineering courage award from ESPN (Extra Sensitive Pious Network) prior to #KneelWithJemele spiels? Actually, it takes infinitely more fortitude these days to say you are white, religious and conservative man proud of your heritage and unashamed to voice your life matters, too. But if in need of some grins amid hags and thugs striving to suppress your voice, real men can console themselves that, if Bruce gives another Olympian effort and focuses on Hill's Chairman Mao Collection outfits and $600 haircuts to try to match number of security requests from an ambassador, he can almost end up looking like Hellary, who probably needed to spend $6,000. Cosmetically, it's comparable to slim odds of viewing a video featuring an attractive female employee from PP's plundering Hag Haven Holocaust hem-hawing over whether to sell body parts or send them to a landfill. You'd have more success locating Sasquatch among the visual birth control or, for that matter, an authentic racist soiling the ranks of Tea Party patriots. Cable cockroaches Rich-with-ill-will Madcow and sister/brother or whatever Sally Kohn are so fond of abortion the ghoul girls likely seek to be artificially inseminated by #MockItMan Sir Lawrence, #SickWillie or #HollyweirdHarvey to participate firsthand in weekend special as Butch(er)'s Baby winner. Either BSLSD or CNN will then erect a Michelle Wolf "Salute to Abortion" statue honoring first snuffer as Queen of the Chicken Little "Sky-is-Falling" routine exemplifying debauchery debris lust for sale of Charlie Gard body parts.

Amid Clinton interacting with all the warmth of a slug about breaking the law while collecting her sheep supporters like yesterday's trash, the general public can't possibly have any faith in a pathetic press monitoring these contemptible characters protecting bugs more than babies. It's an injustice to say a low-end used-car salesman is infinitely more honest and credible than majority of #MessMedia promoting polls designed to create a reality rather than reflecting it. A parade of progressive puke running their mouths on outrageous cable sibling MSNBC (Moronville rather than Nerdland), in dire need of mental health checks to "pilot" their valueless programs where "All Truth Matters" is a hateful remark, clearly has contaminated the vanishing credibility of the network's news division. Between stints virtually serving as Shrillary campaign managers, insufferable Krystal "Punked I" Ball and aging Angrier "Punked II" Mitchell probably passed up Williams in their internal on-air personality rankings before execs triggered an internal fact-finding mission. At some crooked juncture, Lyin' Brian probably told "Kibble Bits" Mitchell he was there when Sick Willie manhandled Juanita Broaddrick and never saw abuse occur. When Yoda's mother Andrea, separated at birth from ET twin James Carville, subsequently fell out of the unethical tree, she struck every "awful" branch on the way down dodging "sniper" comments similar to "discredited" Shrillary and cankle comrade Loretta Lynch's view of the Federal Bureau of Matters.

But isn't "fact" a dirty four-letter word to the steady stream of left-wing televangelist imbeciles such as Donny Dunce plus goofy "GameChangers" John Heil(Hitler)mann and sociable Mark "With Virtually No Respect" Halperin deemed "talent" on this deplorable "Lien Forward" network shackled by hypocritical flock of tax cheats headlined by bow-wow Al? Inability to comprehend tax forms "is-is" who they are! Jaundiced Joy-less Reid probably feels #TheDonald colluded with time-traveling Russians to hack her pint-sized brain. Despite shifting around human-waste time slots like plunger in a commode, MSLSD's principal audience remains comprised of its control room, about half of a haughty host's immediate family plus far-left lunatics attempting to get a glimpse of their relatives on Lockup. After serving a six-month suspension, Williams was consigned to a sinking ship as (fabricating) face of an egregious enterprise full of partisan hacks and harassing sickos. Williams said his undefined number of stretched stories "came from a bad place" and then secured an "11th-hour" reprieve to return to the stench of a bad place (MessLSD), which is to journalism what the National Enquirer is to literature and what Mika the Misguided Mannequin among 100-plus supportive Brokaw Babes are to regal reporting. Despite his excessive baggage and gigantic gall condemning fake news and lecturing about moral authority, Williams is an improvement over MessLSD's low-grade lineup and witless panels unless he also failed to attend a H&R Block tax seminar. Mingling amid this cesspool of flooded-out fools fond of fake squaw Elizabeth Warren (a/k/a "Pow Wow Chow" contributor Lie-awatha envious of The Donald after failing to flip enough tee-pees), the paleface press potentate at least won't have to fib about seeing (brain)dead bodies, tingling or not, pass him in the halls of his esteemed workplace where falsehoods came as naturally as breathing before they hired Megyn to inspire them with GQ poses, voice inflections and lame puns only her mother could appreciate. When trying to withstand Warren's "withering" wit and history of ethnic exploitation, you learn anew Native-American history as to why real Indians didn't permit "nasty" squaws, fake or not, to sit around the council fire other than delivering Warren's "Pow Wow Chow."

Long before Amazon deleted negative reviews of Over-the-Hill's book for bozos, perhaps the most accurate of all of Trump's tranquil talk sissy RINOs revile describes "the media as the lowest form of humanity." As laughable as Trumping Univision antagonist, "courageous" NBC executives such as Andrew Lack(ofintegrity) played role of Shrillary by avoiding interviews on their own networks about the Jimmy Carter intern who never graduated from college. In other words, NBC's brass knew for an extended period about the truth decay as Williams frequently was fond of fables but the enema of the American people allowed the storytelling go on and on and on. If Variety is the spice of life regarding NBC's culture, Bozo Brian's moral compass was infected by crass face-of-network Tom Brokaw. Sounds similar to the way the wink-and-nod enablers and their piss-poor press counterparts such as Today's Olympian ogre Matt Liar treat 50-troop "man" Obama by persistently kissing the ring in No Drama's back pocket plus coddling delusional Dims claiming climate change will force women into prostitution. Meanwhile, the BBC's chatty Katty Kay can't quite comprehend between her going-to-pot MSNBC appearances whether Mainstream Media Midget George tilts left or right - which is equivalent to discerning if the Earth is flat or round. Ditto the gall of Judy Woodruff claiming she is a fair-and-balanced news reader while NPR virtually ignored the Planned Murderhood videos scandal. Do you have any doubt these media mavens gave hemorrhoid-causing Hillary a pass when she seamlessly revised and extended remarks to their limits as much as stretching seams of her Chairman Mao Collection pants suits? The leftist butt-kisser's club members also do the same for clean-and-articulate ex-Vice Plagiarist Joe Biden in regard to his anemic charitable donations. Shouldn't MSNBC's malpractice maven Mike Barnicle and Clinton News Network's token profane Arab bull-spitter Fareed Zakaria have exclusively been Biden boosters solely because they're both profound plagiarists or have they already been admonished as JV by previous POTUS because "You Didn't Write That"?

Helicopter hallucinating Williams, the (bald) face (liar) of NBC News with a five-year, $50 million contract, slapped veterans in the face with his distortion about being "under fire" during the Iraq War. The Chinook Crooks, including Williams' NBC crew, are so delusional they must have exchanged war stories with corkscrew-flying #ShrillaryRotten. Mr. Misremember apologized for the longstanding blatant falsehood but it was chock full of weasel words and deceptive in making it seem as if he witnessed the attack despite being about 30 minutes behind the actual incident. If the lunatic Lohans can sue Fox, then the nation's viewers seeking truth, especially veterans, should be able to file a class-action suit against the $10 million/year valor thief. Williams' lame excuse for the principal chopper whopper was his celebrity-driven "memory evolved," giving critical thinkers added-value insight into how evolution really works for tree-hugging/tin-foil-saving leftists. Demoncrat media celebrities from Dan Blather to perky Katie Couric's gun-rights film deception, displaying all of the analytical ability of a chipmunk, are fond of portraying themselves as righteous although Liberal Lyin' companion Mary Jo Kopechne can not be reached for comment. Meanwhile, #TheDonald can be reached after Pushy succeeded Pussy. If he seeks to be a teddy bear addressing their brain power, he'll distribute coloring books and Play-Doh. If he wants to be a teed-off bear giving media a yellow shower for overlooking DNC and Shrillary dossier funding, he'll rip their heads off and pee down their sorry necks similar to his initial one-against-everyone POTUS presser, toying with media misfits about Comey tapes and possibly thwarting incessant White House press corps grandstanding by reducing on-camera briefings. Abusing our intellect, maniacal #MessMedia is nearly as disgusting as Pennsylvania priest pedophile scandal and Catholic "I will not comment" cover-up of sexual abuse going all the way over to walled-in Vatican. Perhaps the pompous political papacy was too consumed with leftist view of illegal immigration plus playing celebrity scientist lecturing the masses during masses about climate change.

Let's capsulize media mess in sufficiently rudimentary terms aptly-named Don Lemon could comprehend along with fellow stage prancer Anderson Pooper and similarly confused Commie colleague Van Jones. Okay, strike thought as these characters have well-reasoned standards comparable to anal CNN legal beagle Jeffrey Toobin always spewing nonsense after knocking up Jeff Greenfield's 13-year younger daughter in an extramarital affair. Dear Ill-Equipped Liberals: What if a gorilla shot an alligator with AR-15 to save Muslim refugee child of trans-gendered parents ignoring infant while "stalled" by fascination over restroom access? Do-gooder logic from self-styled intellectual supremacists insists any record-snow natural phenomenon in New England, flood in Louisiana or wild-fire out West are directly attributable to man-caused global warming. They could "gun" for a shred of credibility by supporting having Muslims register pressure cookers and knives. As intense as the lovely faces and inspiring brains on The View, the pressure to conform even has the pope seeking to become a climate change-fighting superhero rivaling Al Bore and globe-trotting Barry Obama. Meanwhile, staff-sleeping genius David "No Kidding" Letterman looked like the king of dolts by accepting BSW's series of tall tales hook, line and sinker although an all-wet majority of bed-wetting media misfits curled up in their safe places wet-kissed him and fellow leftist Jon Stewart upon their retirements. Defying common sense, a striking number of progressive nut-jobs claimed they couldn't discern incessantly creepy Letterman's politics. Ditto for slanted Stewart, a wannabee journalist like comparable to Step-on-the-truth-to-us) hiding behind comedian mask when a topic thrown out for consumption by Anthony Weiner's beach-house buddy doesn't strike public's funny bone.

Come on folks! Labeling the current pack of jackals as journalists is akin to designating dog food as filet mignon. Rather than focused on two scoops of ice cream for #TheDonald, shouldn't they be probing murder of DNC operative Seth Rich or at least roaming through New York woods looking for dismantled electronic devices? Don't you "trust" your memory if a dog bit you drawing blood way back in grade school or receiving stitches in an accident "playing Army" (like Williams) with your childhood buddy down the street? When will NBC's complicit colleagues chime in with firsthand accounts of Blustery Brian's brave crusades or are they just classic "yes-people" cowards reveling in street-cred infotainment limelight of "Black Hawk Down Meets Saving Private Ryan"? Call it 50 shades of say(ing) nothing from a network worthy of sponsorship from Burger King (Home of the Whoppers). Did the hangers-on also secure special-ops gifts (throat-cutter, knife and piece of helicopter fuselage destroyed in Abbottabad compound raid) from acclaimed Navy SEAL Team Six? Geez! It has reached the point where we're surprised their embedded boss didn't manage to edit events where he actually shot and killed UBL rather than Robert O'Neill to try to thwart Fox News' ratings-grabber two-part interview. Running the risk of NBC cancelling Collegehoopedia's beauty pageant, it's time to assert: "A liar is a liar is a liar." Despite needing teleprompter to tell her when to "sigh," a single screed secures more money for Shrillary than the average annual salary of a CEO. If hideous Hillary dropped out of the presidential race, she could have a "little-hard-to-take" show on MSLSD known as "The Anchor Lady." Resembling tongue-tied colleagues, her intro limerick should be "I'm a little teapot, old and stout; open my mouth and lies come out" before "hammering" home signature sign-off citing Sir Walter Scott's quote: "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive."

Akin to majority of Shrillary supporters with their credibility shrinking comparable to George Costanza's appendage at a beach house, none of stench stemming from Williams' preposterous assertions passed plausible smell test. The egomaniac ex-member of the Board of Directors of the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation must want for himself an award (Yellow Heart from yellow-streak POTUS by toeing the line and refraining from saying Islamic terrorist) or at least an action figure with his likeness. Beset by a bizarre super-hero addiction, Williams asserted he saved puppies as a volunteer firefighter in New Jersey, endured mugging while selling Christmas trees, witnessed history at the Brandenburg Gate the night the Berlin Wall came down and braved rocket fire just under him in Israel (another hectic helicopter trip) before performing marvelous deeds in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina - "I see dead people" floating by hotel window in French Quarter, coping with gangs invading his five-star lodging (staging area for law enforcement), insisting he contracted dysentery from ingesting flood-waters and craving Slim Jims due to a far-fetched absence of nourishment. But let's face the "facts": If the "more you know (or concoct)" every-man can survive being hit by a R.P.G. (although likely just harrowing sand), the habitual "news-faker" can survive anything (including genuinely being shot down via a six-month suspension without pay). The Tonight Show host wannabe, apparently taking acting lessons from his risque-scene daughter (Allison on HBO series "Girls") based on half-baked apology still alienating the military, must moonlight as a mortician because he claims to "have seen thousands of dead people," including a suicide in the Superdome. The trauma has sure impaired his judgment after he focused on how climate-change conference slated for Paris would be impacted before anyone knew much about carnage stemming from Islamic terrorist attacks.

In the aftermath of serial-embellisher Williams' return, it's only a question of when before parent company Comcast overhauls or pulls the plug on moronic MSNBC where, if evolution is so authentic, a possible Planet of the Apes descendant or General Ursus stand-in (apparently his evolutionary view while trying to learn to spell r-e-s-p-e-c-t) feels compelled to dwell on Happy Darwin Day? Facing a dossier of fantasy fibs, a tearful mea culpa co-hosted by Oprah and Baba Wawa is probably the only way to salvage his career by admitting celebrity was more vital to him than journalism. Speaking of apologies, when will Al Jazeera reject Ayman Mohyeldin, a miscreant Middle East reporter for NBC (No Basic Credibility), seek forgiveness for his repulsive claim that sniper hero Chris Kyle was a "racist" on "killing sprees" while protecting troops in Iraq? It's all as perverted as 60 Minutes' Steve Kroft over at CBS although another broadcast network puff-piece yields insight to the convenient love-fest arrangement regarding Kroft's menage-a-trois interview with Obama and Clinton and Williams successor Lester Holt's psychiatric question about feelings. By any fair-minded definition (including University of Michigan's offensive word-free campus and Shrillary volunteers censuring adjectives), Kroft's claptrap, Holt's hard-hitting question and ABC's Stephanopoulos selling his Dear George soul to the Clintons beyond old Whitewater whitewashing were textbook examples of the ultimate man-made disaster - press and government working together for the common good of the people.

What difference does it make? Frequently amused by pathetic press coverage of elusive definition of radical Islam, $400 million Iranian ransom, unprotected national borders featuring an illegal immigrant disease-dump invasion coming to your community soon, short-term soccer virus knock-out of real football as the nation's top concussion-causing or flopping sport, computer "recycling" by the environmentally-sensitive/magical-way IRS, myopic Michelle's talking shopping carts and a ballet-loving Coast Guard washout worth five Taliban human debris, there are ample reasons why the majority of Americans fail to have confidence in a biased mass media to report the news fully, accurately and fairly. Grabbed by the press posse, major TV networks and liberal rags devoted to "seeking the whole truth" refused to give coverage to a Fox News report acknowledging the dictionary-less Obama Administration denied aid multiple times to Americans attacked and murdered by "random-acting" terrorists in Benghazi on September 11 of all days. A self-righteous stonewalling White House failed to supply requested information to Congress for its hearing oversight, but Judicial Watch obtained declassified emails showing ex-Out House Deputy Strategic Communications Adviser Ben Rhodes and other "rogue" (likely from Cincinnati plus probably Phoenix) West Wing p.r. officials/demented dudes/"shadowy characters" orchestrating a "spontaneous" false-narrative prep memo/campaign, especially via cozy chit-chat with AP, to "reinforce" POTUS and to portray the Benghazi consulate terrorist attack as being "rooted in an Internet video, and not a failure of policy." The knuckleheads tried to portray the closing of the U.S. embassy in Yemen as a victory in the "War Against Whatever." Meanwhile, IRS intimidation icon Lerner (a/k/a Toby Miles), disgraced ex-DNC chair Debbie Blabbermouth-Schultz, leftist Congressmen supporting Iranian nuclear deal and Dimorat benefactor George Soros will be among the few Jews in the world for whom Barry Insane Obummer's Administration would defend their backs. Although Little Debbie's (beef)cake brother is an assistant US attorney for District of Columbia, OJ did a superior job in prison searching for real killers of Nicole than the DNC did investigating or offering award regarding murder of one of their own (Seth Rich). We'll know the fusion-driven pressure is getting to female version of Sgt. "I Know Nothing" Schultz if her hair goes scared straight.

Validity of "CNN Sucks" chants terrifying Little Jimmy Acosta were reinforced with the way the Most (Dis)trusted Name in News rushed in to feed "buzz" to viewers regarding BuzzFeed's trumped-up Russian rejoinder. After all, the #MessMedia's motto is "you have to engage in false statements. If the group-think pretentious press, spearheaded by certifiable close-minded "Journolist" lib-nuts (including testy Toobin, Eric Alterman, Ezra Klein and Paul Krugman) incapable of separating corrupt from crude, withheld evidence (such as emails from the National Security Advisor's office telling a counter-terrorism unit to stand down), they're as corrupt in a cover-up as the amateurish administration's self-righteous Siskel & Ebert wannabees more concerned with monitoring content of "Bible-clinger" prayers, doctoring talking points, collective salvation outreach, making faces for Buzzfeed video promoting ObamaCare and muzzling Benghazi survivors plus front-line troops who served with a deserter (forced to sign non-disclosure agreements) rather than transparency with the public. Amid the high-horse chaos, we pay for State Department tutors (to get their stories straight) and have the prospect of the incompetent lost-all-pertinent emails IRS enforcing Obamacare if its $1 billion investment enrolling "millions" ever functions properly. Incredibly, there are IRS dogs receiving bonuses despite being delinquent on their own taxes as a VA scandal became a precursor of flailing Obowwowcare. Does the medical coverage for Conservatives include throwing up in their mouths listening to "Dim" politicians, pathetic political pundits on CNN and MSNBC plus vengeful not-quite-vixens on "The View"?

The CCCP (Colossal Collection of Condescending Politicians) fails to comprehend they work for "We the People"; not the other way around. How else did you explain the moral compass of former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen See-Soul-less, too busy to testify before Congress but not to attend a gala, failing to help a young girl secure a lung transplant years after the "human servant" prolonged her political life by accepting significant donations in Kansas from an abortion doctor known as Tiller the Baby Killer? Perhaps bloodthirsty Demonrats, capable of labeling political opponents as such but not genuine terrorists, would have a little compassion for innocent human babies if they were furry fetuses. Have these petty "public servants" any shame as their leader jokes about a pastry chef lacing pies with crack cocaine? This is supposed to be a nation of laws; not of self-absorbed men and women seemingly releasing more Gitmo detainees than creating quality jobs. Why wasn't there a single honorable IRS employee step forward casting out demons as a whistle-blower about the keep-your-faith-to-yourself agency's targeting of outstanding organizations such as Billy Graham's "mean-spirited" ministries or auditing conservative donors at 10 times the rate of the average citizen?

Why didn't the lapdog media do its watchdog job and pursue the Benghazi issue providing accountable answers to the many questions accumulated about what precisely occurred in the Celebrity-in-Chief's chamber? The Last Half-rican Standing, stymied by almost 20 years as member of the Church of GD America, failed to rise to occasion and become a genuine leader should have simply get the hell out of the way. Even setting aside "fast-and-furious" race-card reveling DOJ activity, disgusting IRS transgressions, offensive lecturing of Christians at a prayer breakfast and VA Hospital waiting-list death counts, why do the vast majority of the message-massaged media remain so disinterested in pursuing the litany of "jaw-dropping" misstatements and dissembling regarding what was known before and after the Benghazi horror? It wasn't because the misfit media was too busy in Philly prepping for coverage of the chilling capital case carnage in serial killer Dr. Kermit Gosnell's late-term abortion trial or delving into the abuses of an arrogant in-over-his-head AG and party-animal IRS targeting conservative groups plus a network (Fox) more conservative (conspiratorial to loony leftists) than its counterparts. General Motors is alive, but truth from crass White House, Democratic legislators and State Department officials plus an inept press corps is dead. Meanwhile, POTUS (a/k/a "Basketball Bones") is too busy going to the rack at a ceremony with UConn's male and female NCAA hoop champions rather than assembling a coherent response to a full-court press siege in Iraq or take the time to attend Justice Scalia's funeral. After feeding the hungry Huskies his rehearsed lines, a do-our-part plan for the Saul Alinsky devotee in the immediate aftermath included glamour golfing in Palm Springs, where he also went to celebrate Father's Day weekend while his vacation-junkie family ran up another hefty tab separately in Italy.

What difference does it make amid NBC's honey beer-drinking summit Super Bowl interview of Obama Been Lyin' by a network honey? Al Jazeera becomes more objective in its coverage of U.S. politics than incestuous AP (Administration's Press), ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC (More Socialist Nonsense By Commentators) and CNN (Contemptible News Network when moderator Candy Crony became a shameless shill as a virtual member of presidential debate team). It seemed like standard operating procedure when CNN's VP and Washington bureau chief tipped the Clinton campaign off to a favorable poll just before its release via her husband, who served as a deputy secretary of state under Shrillary and whose name was floated for a possible high-level spot in a second Clinton White House. In addition to taxpayers underwriting a welfare-receiving terrorist clan in Boston to the tune of more than $100,000 and paying in excess of $300,000 to merciless Major Nidal Hasan while waiting for trial since the felonious Fort Hood shooting, we finance fastidious NPR (should be NWR for National Welfare Radio), which is such a gigantic joke "All Things Considered" aired no Benghazi features the weekend after compelling Congressional testimony but did allot time to "consider" riveting rhino horns trading. It doesn't seem as if the "All Things" mindset has changed much since a former co-host's husband worked for the presidential campaigns of Obama and ready-to-serve-spit John Kerry (the self-proclaimed Vietnam War hero before heaving his medals and dignity over a fence comparable to Israel's security in a dismal deal with Iran he was still trying to salvage even after being OOO).

Everywhere you turn unless negotiating a bike with all the expertise of shadow ambassador Kerry, there is an immeasurable mess stemming from his presidency similar to the former IRS chief's wife toiling for a leftist campaign finance reform group. Incredibly, Obama lackey Valerie Jarrett's daughter boasted zero experience in journalism but was slated to cover the DOJ for CNN. Also devoid of media credentials, First Daughter Chelsea Clinton was given a political favor on a silver-spoon platter via an annual salary of $600,000 when she joined NBC News as a rock-solid "special correspondent" for Williams' Rock Center (in excess of $25,000 for each minute she displayed her hard-working brilliance on-air to make certain she wasn't dead-broke after leaving the White House and academic pursuits). If Webb Hubbell-lipped Chelsea was worth $600,000 to NBC long before possibly reaching Congress on a silver platter after Mommy Dearest was treated in same fashion en route to Senate seat, the peacock-sure network should have paid Ivanka Trump $6 million. Let's hope spoiled-brat Chelsea's "Get Going" book geared toward kids is 180 degrees removed from Bubba's get-going targeting/stalking of younger crowd. Who in their right mind other than perhaps Clinton leg humper Dear George would pay $75,000 for a nepotism-laced one-percenter Chelsea chat (down to $7,500/minute for her precious "work" while mooching off Clinton Foundation)? How much are speeches from Natasha and Malia worth; especially if they remember any of Rev. Wrong's spellbinding sermons unlike their parents, and admit hiding Oreo snacks and smoking products under beds after enduring organic-garden goodies all day or served as experimental youngsters using same restroom as troubled transgenders in father's apostate administration lowering nation's inspiration to "tear down that stall" from "tear down that wall"?

Presidents of ABC and NBC News had siblings working at the Obama White House with cozy ties to Benghazi, CNN's deputy bureau chief was married to a former aide for (brain)dead-broke Hillary, #DirtyRice was married to an ABC News executive producer and #Shrillary's cocksure campaign manager (Robby Mook) interned for Stephanopoulos. Mook learned so much from Curious George he knows more about how many times chronically-confused Kramer visited Seinfeld's apartment than how often his colleagues and White House personnel met with chaos-causing Creamer. NBC News senior political editor Mark Murray was married to an Obama official, MSNBC's "Spittle-Boy" (Chris Matthews) is married to chair of the Maryland Democratic Party and Meet the Depressed moderator UpChuck Todd's spouse worked on 2006 Senate campaign for Jim Webb (D-VA). Todd, exhibiting his typical behavior of a buffoon when saying he was proud of NBC for its handling of Williams' integrity scandal and moonlighting as DNC therapist, secured his start in politics toiling in 1992 presidential campaign for Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), who wound up nearby for the Howard Dean exorcism and endorsed the Clinton Charade. All "Rhodes" at CBS detour when inquiring about Les Moonves' manhandling maneuvering but do lead to the network's prez being the brother of Mr. Accountability's "mind-melding" speechwriter and escape-artist extraordinaire going to great lengths to avoid divulging potentially-damaging information on a "Jason Bourne" deserter. It was the best place for previous Out House operation using a Masters of Fine Arts in creative writing to "combat" Islamic terrorism.

CBS, with tasteless Moonves doing his titillating tidings with board support from former Bowdoin ME hooper/Clinton Secretary of Defense William Cohen, hired former Obama chief of staff Bill Daley as a contributor while respected investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson maneuvered out of her contract amid the network's depraved indifference. By any measure, Moonves' wife, Julie Chen, is a journalistic joke when compared to Attkisson. Around 30 liberal journalists passed through Obama's revolving door as employees. A prime example of the seamless transition for in-the-tank media was Linda Douglass, who became communications director for the Oval Office's Health Reform Office after serving as ABC's chief congressional correspondent. Such BS shouldn't have been surprising insofar as her lawyer/husband was a big fundraiser for BO. Similarly, Washington Post political reporter Shailagh Murray fit like a glove working under Biden and Obama before wild-eyed communicator Rachel Racusen sandwiched a stint with MSLSD between West Wing flings and daughter of Univision "baby" anchor Jorge Ramos joined Shrillary's campaign. Any legal immigrant knows Whore-hey is the equivalent of Ted Baxter for White America - a joke. Political operative Murray was married to a key employee for Fusion GPS, which was funneled money by the same law firm paid nearly $1 million by Obama's official campaign organization. At CBS, a bozo producer mocked Sen. Rand Paul about "being a doctor" while clueless that he indeed is a physician. Democratic operative/convicted felon Robert Creamer, the husband of Illinois Congresswoman Jan Schakowky, made 340 visits to Obama's Out House. Elsewhere, you can always count on Tingles Matthews, the tedious tapeworm of TV tales on MessLSD's "Dumbball," to pee on himself non-stop offering alternate-universe commentary for which you should promptly believe just the opposite; especially when #PrissyChrissy spews venom about the mother of a deceased State Department employee.

The Beltway is East Coast version of Hollywood only with ugly people. Amid one of the Clintons' best friends funneling in excess of half-million dollars to spouse of high-ranking FBI official, you can't possibly make up all of this conflict-of-interest journalistic junk unless fond of the chummy White House Correspondents Dinner. The "Let's Move" (in together) extends into the kitchen where WH chef Sam Kass is married to dim-bulb former host-ette Alex Wagner from "Fall Backward" network MSLSD. Did she get talking points along with organic-food leftovers from Michelle's gorgeous garden? Departed Spite House Press Secretary/Carnival Barker Jay Carney's wife is Claire Shipman, a senior national correspondent for ABC. Blatant bias stemming from the bozo version of a "Band of Brothers (and Sisters)" also includes the Washington Post's justice department reporter married to the general counsel of the Department of Human Services, ABC News producer married to National Security Advisor/military micro-manager Susan Rice, CNN's deputy Washington bureau chief married to an ex-deputy secretary of state under Clinton, Huffington Post political editor and ex-Newsweek flack Sam Stein's spouse working for White House and NPR's WH correspondent married to a lawyer in the White House counsel's office. The symbolic evacuation from the White House press room because of smoke must have stemmed from deep-background Carney trying to blow smoke up the media's sorry butt with an off-the-record briefing for selected stenographers. Obstructing justice he was sworn to uphold, the ill-tempered AG was the next nefarious nabob to deploy a farcical off-the-record stench-fest pussyfooting around behind closed doors prior to giving illegal immigrants welfare attorneys. His successor was no better as she conducted ill-advised meeting with Bubba before FBI announced its decision regarding subversive spouse. In addition to potty training of their grandchildren, perhaps they also discussed the Clintons' expertise on underwear - Sick Willie getting tax deduction for his skivvies and #ShrillaryRotten orchestrating evidence involving pre-teen raped by her client.

Were reports any surprise about Clinton BleachBit operatives privately sanitizing potentially-damaging State Department documents to protect "7th floor" personnel? Oh, the Huma-nitwit-he-he! In Hill's wacky world where she looks more into Yoda than yoga, only four people were killed and she didn't know three of them, anyway. After spit hit the fan, State Department lackey Jan sought to silence contractors. But from their graves, the deceased cried out: "In lieu of flowers, please don't elect Hitlery (unless she at least admits we died)." In an effort to help the buffoonish media shine the light of truth on the Benghazi bungling and scrubbed-a-dozen-times talking points, following are basic "who/what/when/why/where" questions for which the long-overdue public deserves answers via Obama's acolytes:
* Long before throwing INTEL community under the bus, who changed the original talking points and concocted "the (fanciful) spontaneous reaction" to a YouTube video explanation for the attack (framed before the final two deaths) and did the same individual help orchestrate a coordinated response at various venues in the days and weeks immediately following said attack?
* What portion of the entire 7 1/2 hours of the attack did POTUS himself spend in the Situation Room with fellow "mom-jean dudes" and was he directly involved with multiple "stand-down" orders while the attacks were in place? Perhaps he was too busy with debate prep, playing Spades again or some Man's Country "game" with body man/ex-Duke hooper Reggie Love rather than spending 13 seconds overseeing mobilization of rescue troops enduring 13 hours of hell. Let's hope Love, charged with driving while impaired in college, didn't take Barry out on the town to a frat party rather than doing his job in Situation Room.
* When precisely did increasingly imperial POTUS and/or his national security staff first become aware that an attack was underway at the Benghazi compound and did Hillary Clinton and Leon Panetta compare notes before Clinton's proclamation emphasizing a video as the culprit?
* Why was the no-drama Obama Administration's response so lax - failing to issue a CBA (Cross Border Authority) - despite an unmanned drone providing real-time live video feed of the scene? Who atop the chain-of-command was so insensitive they let Americans die during a "demonstration" (not an attack) akin to butchering innocent babies?
* Where is evidence of the "Betray Us" administration's responses to repeated pleas to strengthen security for Americans in Libya, not only from the State Department security chief and man on the ground in charge of security, but from the ambassador? Or were progressive normalization goals with Libya more important than traditional sense of duty? Did the "Deleter of the Free World" aspirant encourage Stevens to go to Benghazi or not to set up a diplomatic outpost?

Trying to find someone "on Koch" more revolting amid the myriad of political con artists than former Senate Dimorat "leader" Harry Reid (Nevada), how do you distinguish "Dingy" (who also chimed in with "What Difference Does It Make?" before wowing the nation threatening not to attend a Redskins game) from Dumb from Dumber from Dumbest as the government goofballs and goons reveal they would rather focus their energy on invoking the 5th Amendment by grifters, coddling illegal immigrants, supporting same-sex unions, attending line-dancing conferences at taxpayers' expense, underwriting Sandra Flukey's birth control, sanctioning gays in professional sports and the Boy Scouts, funding transgender operation for military misfit Bradley Manning, monitoring everyone's phone calls including the Pope, bullying insurance companies to keep them quiet, ordering federal workers to spy on each other and giving Miranda rights to terrorists while profiling patriot, pro-life plus Tea Party affiliates? Schmucky Schumer, Dingy's successor, isn't the answer to giving a craving nation one huge "happiness" conference by dismantling the IRS. In a sick version of Obama "care," the media dimwits such as Eleanor Off-the-Cliff seem as careless and clueless in unearthing authentic autopsy results for a virtually defenseless Ambassador Stevens as the administration is in resolutely rendering justice to the incorrigible Islamic perpetrators. They reach out a kumbaya hand to Islamic scum seeking to slice off our hands (if not more). It's foreign to civility, but it spurs one to drag All the ex-President's "Men" (political parasites) through the caught-by-surprise mud similar to the ambassador's body dragged through foreign streets.

Whether or not they are yucking it up about a significant delay in apprehending a terrorist leader or looking under every rock for a Christian extremist group, this is no witch-hunt because the witches in and out of government are already easy to discern. A classic example was shabby State Department spokesperson #MakeMe Barf, wearing glasses to try to appear smart, trashing brave front-line soldiers from her thousands-of-miles-away ivory tower while the haughty hag permanently stained from serving on Obama's debate prep team described torturing towel-heads as "gentlemen", deemed job-training for ISIS (Jobs for Jihadis) as the cure for halting Middle East conflict and doesn't think it's pertinent to know if Hillary's emails contained classified material. While the world went to hell around her, equally dense State Department amateur-hour colleague Gem SockItToMe tweeted about fashion before displaying her utter ignorance being unaware Jews were killed in a terrorist attack on a kosher deli in Paris prior to a timid correction tweet. Can't wait for explanation from intellectual heavyweight rejoining White House communications staff after the State Department reportedly ordered Marines to destroy their weapons upon a humiliating abandonment of the U.S. embassy in Yemen, which was Obama's textbook example of success only months earlier. Regrettably, we pay the salaries of charming charlatans who threw their political weight behind declining to put Boko Haram thugs on the terrorist list before the Islamic militants in Nigeria burned 29 students alive, massacred 59 schoolboys at a boarding school and kidnapped nearly 300 school girls (threatening to sell them into slavery). Incredibly, Fox News deemed dim bulb #MakeMeBarf capable of enlightening its viewers as a regular contributor after her dismal displays during the Obama years.

What happened? Roped-off reporters were so far up Hillary's butt during her cow(ard) roundup they could detail what she consumed doing lunch with double-dipping scrawny surrogate Huma after running down their Scoobie Doo SUV. Has the idolatry-practicing media, with fawning NBC planning a mini-series on Clinton before backing off on the project, contrasted "equal-protection-under-the-law" security measures for Ambassador Stevens compared to her when she went overseas? Did Eleanor Roosevelt give Her Thighness seance insight on baking cookies, covering up a sex and prostitution probe on her watch, lessons on transporting herself on a broom or how mostly unseen movie trailers incite Muslims? Seemingly, it's always the fault of someone else with this contemptible crowd, looking as phony as actress Diane Lane playing the role of Shrillary - which is akin to George Clooney playing the role of Dick Vitale. It takes-a-village idiot such as truth deflector Victoria "F**k the EU!" Nuland to believe her crutch, but perhaps the Democrap ditz potty mouth is simply adding to the vast right-wing conspiracy featuring a seemingly never-ending gateway list from Whitewater to Wipeserver including Filegate, Sandy Burglar "lifting" National Archives classified documents, Buddhist Templegate, Sick Willie's intern cigar, Travelgate, Vince Foster's suicide, Lippogate, Marc Rich's pardon, Lootergate, wagging the dog, Vandalgate, Orgy Island, Servergate, Foundation pay-to-play, etc., etc., etc. Now, gaffe-tastic Hillary "misses the bigger picture" sounding "is-is" similar to hubby: "I did not have decision-making responsibilities for that compound - Benghazi." Meanwhile, Billy Boy stayed above the email and server frays by claiming: "I did not have texts with that woman - who lied about name origin." When Hillary eventually implodes just before or after ObamaCare does the same, lunatic Oven Stuffer Sugar-daddy Soros will have underwritten a leftist Holocaust similar to when the Democratic Party hijacker posed as a Christian teenager watching numerous fellow Hungarian Jews shipped off to death camps.

The "buck" couldn't find any place to stop during Obama's tenure at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, where "time-is-of-the-essence" ex-POTUS chimed in on earthshaking cultural topics involving dumbbell Donald Sterling, Undocumented Democrats-to-be and documentarian Michael Sam but didn't supply his itinerary the evening when Americans were killed in Libya. Neither the self-enamored emperor nor his underwhelming underlings have any clothes or complete candor as the IRS commissioner only remembers one Easter Egg roll among his excessive 157 White House visits. Amid trying to discern State Department protocol during an attack, there was a preposterous assertion from Defense Secretary Leon Panetta that "assets couldn't get there (Benghazi) in time." Did patronizing Panetta also commiserate with an omniscient Eleanor regarding upper-brass orders to save Americans? How did he know with such authority the length of "time" the siege would take as they fought for their lives? Maybe he was too busy on other travel-time matters planning his next cross-country commute home to California at tax-payer expense on military jets. Panetta isn't as principled as the press likes to portray him after Monica "I'm No. 44 (or so)" Lewinsky "worked" in the Chief of Staff's office during the government shutdown. Did this leech-filled leadership just cut their losses and "run" (let them die) rather than risk additional casualties before making the rounds, including hard-hitting media moguls Letterman (there he is again) and Barbara Walters, with their video fairy-tale?

What difference does it make? Our nation's ex-Effeminate Embellisher didn't need to be Winston Churchill while putting his bust in mothballs, but we didn't need Ward Churchill off the reservation overseeing our 57 states. Is there a single stooge from his out-of-control whining White House crew who served with honor and distinction as they boasted fewer jobs created than babies aborted? They should have focused more on closing their collective mouths than closing Gitmo and unmasking intelligence reports. If they were candid, they would be promoting their ex-boss as cover boy on the new $10 bill. The second term of a president, resembling life, is like a roll of toilet paper when you're ill. The closer you get to the end, the faster the _ _ _ _ goes resembling his brother-in-law cast adrift as Oregon State's coach. Held hostage by an Ariel Castro-like media as manipulative as Jodi Arias, the general public suffers from gullible glorification syndrome. Whatever political position you're in when the _ _ _ _ hits the fan, you just hope the grandstanding leader of the free world letting the entire Middle East turn into Alqaedaistan exhibits more "Barry" backbone (equivalent of a slinky according to Fox News funnyman Greg Gutfeld) than a best-and-the-brightest Boy King raised by an Indonesian nanny who subsequently joined a group of transvestites called the Dancing Dolls.

Unwilling to be a doll and dance around the topic like CNN's purported plane video of Sinator Oboner on the campaign trail pretending he was a basketball star strutting his stuff at nightclub, a problem ("phony scandal") persisted that the overwhelming majority of slanted reporters chronicling events big and small, including the toy department (sports), write through a liberal prism insulting our common sense and intelligence. A classic example of unethical standards was the love triangle among the elite press (Washington Compost)/government (DOJ and FCC)/sports (soft landing with The Undefeated). Many media minions such as CBS hoops elitist/Puke political science graduate/failed stand-up comedian shamelessly promoting his mom's alternative-medicine cancer elixir and dad's failed friend (#ShrillaryRotten) are as embarrassingly attentive to what is going on in their area of expertise as Supreme Judge Ruth at the state-of-the-union speech. Thus, the toughest question Obama, the executive with excessive excuses and 72% approval among Muslims, faced in a given year from the press "rat pack" probably was an ESPN bracket racket inquiry concerning whether his alma mater (Harvard) was going to advance to the second round in NCAA basketball playoff competition. How often did ESPN saps such as golfing partner Michael Wilbon and chatty host of show for non-workers Jemele Hill indulge themselves with "Audacity of Hype" presidential picks promoting the NCAA tourney while failing to exactly provide "fair share" equal time from the opposing party? At least Around-the-Horn(dog) ESPN, a Ashley Madison underwriter presenting itself as knowing as much about everything as Edward Snowden (including driving social issues down our just-want-to-watch-sports throats), didn't also portray Sir Remake America as a baseball expert following the bleeding-heart leftist's feeble ceremonial first pitch worthy of wearing mom jeans while attending a MLB All-Star Game. Unquestionably, social engineering ESPN, gutting Grantland while trying to launch Undefeated website, seeks to provide fib-lib ideals such as obsession with "Redskins" more of a forum than conservative commentators such as Mike Ditka and Curt Schilling.

Let me be clear: Don't you wish the agenda-driven media would have "encouraged" leave-no-deserter-behind to develop priorities putting as much effort into meeting a budget deadline or getting the FBI to investigate Benghazi sooner than a month later instead of swooning over the Rev. Wrong disciple while providing a bracket, accepting mulligan lessons from Tiger, hosting parties at Club Obama, helping fill out H&R Block tax forms for Al "Not So" Sharpton or releasing illegal immigrant criminals from prison? If not relevant items, couldn't they have at least asked him: "What's the deal with the First Lady taking separate planes at taxpayer expense on your vacation junkets?" or "Why are Gitmo detainees receiving better health care than American veterans?" or "Did global warming cause Godzilla to return?" or "Do you want to be known as Traitor Jack after an incentive-for-kidnapping swap of five gold-star throat-slitting savages for one lily-white deserter?" or "Do you accept the laughable line that the IRS, which demands Charles Citizen keep his financial records for seven years, can't supply pertinent emails over a critical seven-month span for the gang-of-seven?" or "How many lone wolves does it take to make a pack of Islamic terrorists?" or "Are the three branches of the federal government called Me, Myself and I?"

Obama administration transplant Jim Sciutto, CNN's certifiably compromised chief national security correspondent, is a gigantic joke in network's continual Comedy Club. But then most of the honorable and distinctive media elite such as former CNN Misfire moron/shameless shrew Stephanie "Lying is a Virtue" Cutter are in the same fast-tracking cartel with chronic fabricator Tokyo Rice, who said the meandering misfit served with "honor and distinction" after a repulsive victory-lap Rose Garden publicity-stunt production where Allah was praised by Papa Taliban but not a word of gratitude directed toward the numerous shut-up-and-salute authentic soldiers killed and injured striving to rescue Mr. AWOL for Afghans. Would an extremist rules-for-radicals administration gone awry cooperate with a Hollyweird producer for a movie ("Saving Private Bergdahl"), available in Pashto, focusing on an ultimate warrior gone bad probably because of another YouTube video failing to generate four stars from Shrillary's shady State Department? Only the smartest man in the world could interrupt his ideological executive orders and negotiate a deal to save someone ashamed to be an American. Bowe Knows Islam apparently was fading fast with an illness that could only be promptly treated at a VA hospital. If you boast a triple-digit IQ and believe anything from the Worst Wing spin machine including smug Christiane Amanpour and Valerie Jarrett with their Iranian backgrounds plus DNC demons paying millions to Pakistani Anwar brothers as IT experts, then God (not Allah) help us all. Who possesses the most credibility and represents the best of us - selfless soldiers daily putting their lives on the line or self-centered White House/DNC dolts/State Department shills or DOJ version of Bonnie and Clyde (Bruce and Nellie Ohr) or self-important genuinely raggedy reprehensible press?

What difference does it make? Well, when the lame-stream sports media is as incompetent as the general newsroom and editorial department, they foist make-believe heroes upon us such as Lance Armstrong, Ryan Braun, Jose Fernandez, Aaron Hernandez, Ben Johnson, Marion Jones, Muslim convert Colon Crapernick, Johnny Manziel, Slick Rick Pitino, Ray Rice, A-Roid, Josh Shaw, O.J. Simpson, Manti Te'o, Michael Vick, Jameis Winston, Tiger Woods, "The Carolina Way" (Afro-Studies academic fraud) and shady Jackie Robinson West All-Stars. Do you really believe brand-protecting ESPN knew absolutely nothing about stretching the Chicago boundaries of Little League Baseball? A majority of the cesspool press pool cheered Sam Who I Am's social-engineering progressive values amid sizing up his shower habits after jeering Tim Tebow's religious "The Great I Am" standards. In basketball specifically, hoop media sycophants canonize tattooed Louisville coach Pitino not long after his brazen bistro-closing porn-star tryout and Jimmy V is hailed endlessly in history rewrites despite coach Valvano having two different schools - Iona and North Carolina State - vacate NCAA playoff participation. As if enthralled with Pitino getting a title tattoo, catching an enormous marlin, being featured on Maker's Mark bourbon bottles, donning Kanye West adidas shoes and competing in a seniors tournament isn't enough, the inept media's touchy-feely attempts in social engineering included trying to elevate Jason Collins to Jackie Robinson-like status.

At the time, Collins was cited as a "star" by sports know-nothing ABC anchor-ette Diane Sawyer, the wife of a Hollyweird director. Was Collins embellished as celestial because he averaged 1.1 points and 0.9 rebounds per game last season, 1.1 ppg and 1.3 rpg over the last two seasons, 1.2 ppg and 1.4 rpg over the previous three seasons, 1.4 ppg and 1.6 rpg the previous four seasons, 1.3 ppg and 1.5 rpg the previous five NBA seasons or because he fits nicely into smug Sawyer's social world view as Charles Gibson's truth-telling successor before she herself stepped aside in mid-2014? At least sanctimonious Sawyer, sounding almost like Shrillary after putting on Depends adhesive side up, showed her expertise in softball(s) with hot-air inquiries to Syrian dictator Bashar Assad about iPods and video games. Sawyer and #Shrillary must be sharing their meds with Pelosi (#NannyPathetic), Warren (#PrincessLieawatha) and Waters (#MadMaxine).

The misguided media, responding like the NSA in the "least untruthful manner," is so focused on accuracy that majority of folks with limited professionalism offered a one-sided depiction of troubled teen Trayvon Martin as a Skittles-loving (not weed-smoking) model citizen who must have innocently been kicked out of his home and school perhaps because he was fond of hanging around full-fledged liars who can't read cursive (eloquent to MSNBC smear merchants) coupled with his flaws including prejudiced thinking that Hispanics (White-Hispanic to appease race hustlers) could become "creepy-ass crackers." Fueled by hoodie-donning intellectual heavyweights such as the Miami Heat, a reported $1 million-plus wrongful death settlement with a homeowners association was a "justice" byproduct of the demise of the parents' son apparently enthralled with a "Gangsta" culture. It didn't take long for Baltimore bozos to exhibit their political prowess in a similar $6.4 million settlement regarding an individual with nearly two dozen drug-related offenses while incompetent city attorney failed to turn over exculpatory evidence to defense attorneys for their own police officers.

Of course, it's all about just one side of the political spectrum getting along with the other to the Amen progressive "pew" from politically-correct pundits plus gaily being who you are in a permissive society. What a stunner Collins was promptly slated to join the First Lady at a high-fiving Democrapic fundraiser. But this fundraiser was a genuine political spontaneous reaction! Collins, a college classmate of Chelsea Clinton, didn't exactly courageously dwell on the No. 98, which is about the number of months he fraudulently strung his fiancée along (see Cosmopolitan feature on fellow Stanford product Carolyn Moos). The brave Brooklyn Nets should have signed Moos to a contract as the first women's player in the NBA since Collins didn't help inspire his teammates any more than coach Jason Kidd. At least it would have taken some attention away from nut-job Donald Less-Than-Sterling, who should have remembered the old adage: "It is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than opening your mouth and removing all doubt!"

What difference does it make? The full-confidence Soviets with Pravda boast a more objective and truthful media slant than the ABC pap provided from Stephanopoulos, who received a masters in (liberal) theology utilized in a bimbo-eruption Clinton War Room before "earning" a seven-year, $105 million contract. By any measure, the puff-piece enemies of illumination failed vetting Obama and his leftist fantasies before he became POTUS other than perhaps focusing on an alleged hoop prowess. But as former NBA Commissioner David Stern, a stereotypical liberal-leaning lawyer, said in jest about Obama's basketball background: "He thinks he's better than he really is." Although probably not intentional, Stern's dispassionate assessment also summarizes Obama's outlandish high-horse presidency running up the national debt as fast as he runs away from using the phrase "Islamic terrorist." At the risk of becoming the next U.S. citizen subject to a drone strike, it should be emphasized, when failing to toe the fictional party line of the high-and-mighty real sideshow, you become a demoted diplomat, face intimidation tactics having your phone records seized or are targeted by going on the abuse-of-power IRS enemies list (a/k/a "horrible customer service"). Obummer, while never mentioning the Clinton Cash racket, is so delusional he theorizes Republicans/conservatives are to blame for Loser Lois' widespread targeting.

Astonishingly, the staging-question IRS was "used" as a springboard by West Wing wackos to drive Obamacare down our throats via the same wily _itch with no integrity but plenty of bonus money despite showing her disdain for conservatives by calling them A-holes as part of her "serving" the public's interest in a non-partisan fashion. While the disgraced I-R-ME$$ official is feeding at the public servant trough (six-figure retirement) after previously harassing the Christian Coalition while with the FEC, someone needs to slow "learn her" by forcing miscreant Ms. 5th to take a remedial ethics class commencing with the Golden Rule while waiting for fallout from being held in contempt of Congress and a convenient catastrophic computer crash. Meanwhile, the nauseous networks yawned and "confidentially" looked the other way when e-mails showed computer-recycler Loser, amid distributing feelers to hook on with a pro-Obama group, sent a database of tax-exempt organizations to the FBI right before the 2010 midterm elections.

Portraying a murderous attack in Benghazi, Libya, as if it occurred in the same war as the Battle of the Bulge, it might be old news to former "stylistic" Left Wing spokesperson/current CNN spin-meister Jay Blarney while the ex-Time magazine Washington chief did his zero-credibility imitation of propagandist Joseph Goebbels with a "hope and change (the topic)" routine before getting out of Dodge (The Truth). Seems as if jaundiced Jay, who implied the IRS apologized for "not" doing something wrong, and his unprincipled ilk such as equally truth-allergic successor Josh "Anything But" Earnest proclaim a memo emphasizing Benghazi has nothing to do with Benghazi and Baghdad Bergdahl served honorably. In regard to sizing up real men, Blarney, Earnest and their misleading minions aren't a pimple on the butt of any of the genuine patriots the Out House slimed as swift-boating someone the soldiers knew firsthand. Previously, a classic example of the blame game and absence of accountability from the meek media was when the feds were more concerned with detaining some obscure producer of an anti-Islamic film making light of the prophet Mohammed. At least the dereliction-of-duty dunderheads such as CIA taxpayer-paid liar Mike More-ill(ness) didn't pull out the workplace-violence or man-made disaster card again during this convenient-truth process.

What difference does it make? Well, the excuse-ridden Obama Administration - either grossly incompetent or purposefully in "crude and disgusting" fraud - dealt with a terrorist assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi by shamelessly standing in front of caskets at an airport hangar (plus the White House press corps, the U.N. and national politically-oriented shows such as Meet the Depressed) offering an orchestrated al-Qaeda on-the-run narrative claiming the nondescript video was responsible for the murder of the American ambassador and three other Americans. Their most despicable act was regurgitating the same outrageous ruse face-to-face to grieving family members while focusing more on securing "second" non-disclosure agreements from survivors. How authentic or outright evil were those narcissistic embraces from Big Balls Biden and fellow fatal finaglers? Any miserable individual who emphasized a movie lie in one-on-one conversations with mourners doesn't possess the dignity worthy of setting foot on White House grounds except solely to use a pooper scooper while donning rubber gloves. Ingrained into their psyche, they consider lying normal behavior while showing true colors shunning nation's largest police union. If the Clinton Crime Syndicate Foundation and co-conspirators would only pay a dollar to U.S. Treasury for every fabrication emanating from them, the deficit could be paid off in short order. "How's Your Faith" journalistic jackal David Gregory is unbiased when his wife, Beth Wilkinson, represented Shrillary's former state department staffers in FBI's probe of Clinton's use of private email? Ditto CNN colleague Jake Tapper, ex-press secretary for a Democratic congresswoman from Pennsylvania.

Incredibly, a Navy SEAL among the deceased violated stand-down orders to help save numerous individuals at the death-trap embassy and then fought the terrorists for 7 1/2 hours while his pleas for backup at a nearby annex were ignored by government officials real-time watching events unfold. Weeks later, the evasive apologist-in-chief and cowardly cronies were still striving to supply a cogent response to their deflect-and-deny sacrificial-lamb inaction all for the sake of propping up progressive policies. Where's a photo of the vaunted Obama Team deliberating at least 7 1/2 minutes, or even 7 1/2 seconds, during the Benghazi attack? Was Mr. Teleprompter even there at all to provide any input possibly "sending in the cavalry" or were his charges more concerned about contacting YouTube about a manufactured vile video? Bracing for a cross-country campaign trip, did malingerer "That's Not What We Do" go to bed while brave Americans were savaged or is it indeed "an irrelevant fact" less important than raising funds in Las Vegas? If not, then be transparent enough to at least conduct a stand-up, man-up press conference detailing what you did do during the "acting stupidly" stand-down. The Sgt. Schultz "I know nothing!" ploy isn't very becoming for an infallible commander-in-chief as it spills over to the FBI and all of the terribly-flawed feet-of-clay mental-midget mercenaries surrounding a conceited community organizer with their evolving web of deceit. Wasn't fist-bumping Obama back on the golf course about 7 1/2 minutes after announcing an American was beheaded?

Infected by pop culture, reality shows, Al Bore's global-warming hoax and thrills going up noxious newscasters legs, the average shallow American dwells on Angelina Jolie's discarded mammary glands, forlorn Amanda Knox's knife collection, Donald's luck dealing with 50-year younger model/archivist and Gitmo hunger strikers but can't spell Benghazi or even know which continent it's located. When not exploiting children as human shields for an assortment of altruistic motives, POTUS didn't mind hiding behind Hildebeast via a film fabrication as her pay-for-play State Department lawyer told witnesses not to speak to House investigators. If elected POTUS after "Debbie Does (Debate) Delay," Hillary's "tough choices" judgment is so grandiose she probably would have appointed a pervert (either Sick Willie or Huma's half-witted husband "Carlos Danger/Randy Mongoose") to be in charge of the White House's intern program and cigar room. Bubba probably would have secured the seeds-to-sow "job" since her success was achieved solely from riding his coattails. When pushing for crackdown on "epidemic" of campus sexual assault, she could have gotten off to good start regarding topic in general by neutering her chasing-tails spouse who VP pick Tim Kaine previously proclaimed should resign because of intern intertwining. Perhaps the womanizing enabler should be reminded about her personal "War on Women" cherishing so-called bimbo eruptions.

If you had a family member in dire straits pleading for help, would you rather summon support from blameless Barack Hussein Obama/Ben Rhodes dynamic duo, Hillary the Hypocrite's hubris, opportunist Omarosa or heroic Tyrone Woods? You don't need a lie-detector to even contemplate thinking about debating who is more Benghazi believable - Woods' father or Hillary Rotten? Hitting closer to home in raw terms, who would you rather have as a "sacrificial" neighbor because of comparable integrity and moral values? Period! The U.S. "isn't a Christian nation" according to our ex-fearless leader, but the answer is clear among God-fearing folks in flyover country who always seem to know a mite more about vital issues than our country's CEO (Creative Explanation Opportunist) until hearing after-the-fact media reports. Shackled by a warped sense of tone-deaf priorities, how hard did ethically-bankrupt Obama and Clinton negotiate a deal with Iran's Revolutionary Guard to release an American Christian pastor detained for years after entering the country on a humanitarian mission?

What difference does it make? Before making a repugnant remark that the Taliban 5 senior leadership isn't a threat to America, hoodwinking @Hillary's principal documented achievement as Secretary of State may have been putting an excessive amount of emphasis on that specific difference-making phrase/question. On the other hand, it could be facial pain every night after all the fake Joker-grin smiling Hill the Hun (husband's description of her) does all day on her Area 51 campaign trail more concerned about aliens from outer space than those strutting across unchecked along our Southern border. Easily recognized as Old Yeller to aging sexists fond of affixing Disney-movie titles as nicknames, her corrosive comments are reminiscent of disgraced Dan Rather at CBS frequently ending with an inane Robert Redford-worthy reference to "courage." Her tenacity, the genesis of which is captured in her senior thesis at Wellesley on Saul Alinsky, consisted of roaming the globe comparable to the ghost of Jacob Marley dragging money trunks behind her on a chain. Rather's blather was a lamentable trait exhibited by CBS when it concealed footage for an extended period from a 60 Minutes interview with Obama where he clearly refused to categorize the Benghazi attack as an act of terror. Of course, curious George is deemed a journalistic giant by ABC and eye candy for opposite-sex viewers after earning his spurs as a political hack for the petulant Clintons disparaging one female after another in the midst of Sick Willie's debauchery and hiding $75,000 in donations to their suspect enterprise. Did Little Georgie, not only vertically challenged but integrity challenged, know interns (especially blue-dress donning female) were not supposed to be in the West Wing without an escort or did the butt boy for the Clinton Crime Family simply look the other way? Perhaps Lyin' Williams was there and can give us the straight libido scoop about "Crooked" Bill relieving job pressure doing the dirty on the presidential seal rather than the self-styled chick magnet focusing on sealing the fate of OBL. Eschewing ethics and honor, are these condescending guttersnipes the best and most honest our country can produce in the newsrooms, Oval Office and State Department as they stretch the truth as much as excuse-ridden Nanny Pathetic does her sparkling-and-dazzling face while latest hacked hag supported get-out-of-jail-free cards to savages and denial of the total truth to family members of savaged Americans?

A colossal collection of contemptible characters and ethical-escapee excrement, telling the truth as often as cicadas return, could fill their own "worst wing" of the aptly-named Clinton Correctional Facility by telling pasty Shrillary she looks stunning in a bikini. Surrounded by army of apoplectic aliens sucking up to her like a Kardashian can, no wonder she is so fond of UFOs. Old vacuum cleaners don't suck as much as Step-child George, fellow Clintonista cretinous creeps such as Paul Begala, Sandy Burglar, Sidney Blumenthal, David "Let-Boys-Be-Boys" Boies, David Brock, "Trailer Trash" Carville, Lanny Davis, Rahm Emanuel, David Gergen, Harold Ickes, David Kendall, Terry Lenzer, Bruce Lindsey, Lockhart, Terry "Lincoln Bedroom Racketeer" McAuliffe, Bernie Nussbaum, Panetta, John "Password" Podesta, Bill "Don't Know Anything About Epstein" Richardson plus Cody Shearer and many media mavens defending the Clinton Foundation erstwhile slush fund. Perhaps it's easier to refrain from dealing with parasite Podesta "making an example of suspected leaker" or investigating his brother (Tony) lobbying for a pro-Russian Ukrainian group. If Snuff-out-the-truth-to-us wasn't a hollow shell of a journalist, Georgie would help orchestrate an illuminating expose on allocation of charitable donations comparing the Clinton ruse of 10% to 15% directly aiding charity work to organizations such as Feeding America (98%), Feed the Children (92%), Red Cross (91%), World Vision (85%) and Salvation Army (82%). But at least the anemic charity-aid percentage is higher than Obama's resettlement percentage of Christians among Syrian refugees. At any rate, shouldn't the Clinton Global Initiative already have ample resources stemming from hefty speaking-engagement fees and program for safe-drinking water in third-world locales such as Haiti and Flint? Need any more rehab input, Gorgeous, to help with your self-inflicted stronger-together credibility crisis leaving you "All Too (Partisan) Human"? His definition of humanity was exhibited while dining at Epstein's Manhattan deviant town-home about a year after the accused sex trafficker finished his first stint in jail for pleading guilty to soliciting an underage prostitute.

Gorgeous never had credibility, anyway, after his handling of Sick Willie's draft induction notice and wispy War Room wizardry. Whether or not Williams was there, perhaps Step-child thought Mitchell was going to get to the entire truth for once in her biased career. Odds are Little George was in the vicinity in moonlighting role as a Jiminy Cricket conscience when his boss turned the White House into personal Out House brothel. Does this truth-telling "titan" have firsthand knowledge regarding how Monica became the "Blue Pass Princess" as a paid staffer or will he elaborate on bigotry stemming from racial elements involving Little Rock hooker Bobbie Ann Williams and William Clay alias? Rather than accepting Rhodes' fiction verbatim, should Step-on-the-truth-to-us give an authentic author - thriller novelist Brad Thor - insider information and a forum to create a solution to the Clinton corruption? In the meantime, journalistic giant Georgey and majority of lame-stream media don't believe a Secret Service agent is worthy of interview about his book to discern whether Shrillary cursed SS agents and hurled a Bible at one of them. So wooden she makes Walter Mondale and Al Bore appear charismatic, at least she isn't a Bible-clinger of whom Obama is so derisive.

Offsetting Hillary For Prisoner 2016, the clever dwarf perhaps can help her concoct a new campaign slogan: "Hurry up and elect me so I can pardon myself before I'm incarcerated." Meanwhile, she sounded like a Maxine Smart(ass) with half-baked server apology: "Sorry about that, fief!" But at least right-thinking Americans are "Get(ting) Smart" by tuning out the Clintons' aging act/stale show. They have emerged as Exhibit A for fecal formula forging what a liberal education and law degree can do for an individual - provide license to be dishonest, insincere and unaccountable. All right, in Albright lingo there is a special place in hell for anyone who supports the Clinton corruption. Anything they say is reminiscent of floating a bad check. Albright probably thinks Shrillary's following comments are supportive of Bubba's victims: "Who is going to find out? These women are trash. Nobody's going to believe them." Just like believing her spiel about equal pay for women except on her staff. Bottles of Trump wine should be put on distinguishing characteristic ice all across the country waiting to celebrate an indictment of can't-be-civil HRC (Hillary Really Corrupt). Last unqualified human out of Over-the-Hill(ary) campaign HQ needed to turn off the lights and customized server. Eventually, there will be no vetting by God for HildaBeast and her craven Clinton cronies; simply a chute straight to see Satan. Until then, every time we look at demeanor of her pretty-in-red marchers, the climate for our day negatively changes. The deranged include "nasty" Ashley Judd, the opportunistic hoops fan so far removed from reality she likely though UK lost to North Carolina in the NCAA playoffs because Russia did it with contact from key Trump associates by hacking the scoreboard.

The biggest loser over the last couple of election cycles is the mangy "never-seen-you-lose" media serving as little more than the Praetorian Guard for liberal lunacy praising Planned Murderhood and its accompanying neck-snipping murders of innocent babies while smearing whistle-blowers crestfallen over the "abandoned" murders of innocent colleagues. No matter their gender, one half expected the #MessMedia to throw their underpants up to podium when sacred Big O spoke/performed in front of them. Meanwhile, has an enterprising sports reporter ever evaluated how many abortions have been sanctioned by college basketball coaches so female players could remain on the court and male players wouldn't be hampered by becoming deadbeat dads (see Duke All-American J.J. Redick's abortion contract with a model)? No, the media can't be too concerned about the cavalier blood-thirsty hobby to lobby for ditching unwanted little ones when a men's championship coach has an extortion trial, end-of-the-pack Kentucky Derby horse, limited-edition bourbon bottle, meaningful marlin, favorite son, Lexus dealership and testimonial tattoo to cover. And by the way, will computer whiz Dickie V charge a premium for his next speech on hacking after he was sacked from covering Duke/North Carolina?

Americans deserve an honest government covered by a media doing more than just being PRESStitutes for POTUS or extension of a university's public-relations department. Although his publication seemed to always go out of its way to support the Obama Administration, it's a mite unnerving how former Princeton hoopster Richard Stengel seemed to make a smooth transition from managing editor of TIME magazine to under secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs at the State Department. Stengel subsequently supported a one-sided deal with Iran where the U.S. doesn't exercise leverage and multiple journalists were jailed. As shamelessly one-sided as conservatives have asserted for years, excessive media malpractice finally discarded the pretense of objectivity. Once and for all after spouse for NPR's White House correspondent joined counsel's office for her beat, they have been unmasked as aggressive advocates; not adversarial journalists. According to a Gallup poll, fewer than 1/4 of American adults have "a great deal" of confidence in newspapers and television news as meaningless red lines behind widespread yellow streaks. In a classic case of bias, Brazilla-based CNN had countless instances of fabrications to investigate (Liar! Liar! Pantsuit on Fire!) but spent an inordinate amount of effort trying to find a modest misstatement or two in stories from Dr. Ben Carson's childhood practicing their craft prior to parsing every word from The Donald to fit their next distortion narrative.

Running in parallel with a decrease in quality of play on the court is a reduction in competence of the pom-pom press covering them. How many sports news outlets based in the states of North Carolina and Kentucky regularly follow Duke and Louisville basketball in the ACC? How could the "Worst Little Whorehouse in KY" go on for years unnoticed? But a student newspaper and aging hooker needed to exhibit sufficient spine to do down-and-dirty jobs. Why didn't a single enterprising reporter from the professional local press and national media rise to the occasion; especially in Carolina on the heels of UNC's scholastic shenanigans? A worthwhile story stared them right smack in their mugs (faces and beers) regarding why Rasheed Sulaimon became the first in-season dismissed player during Mike Krzyzewski's long Durham Dynasty tenure. Methinks the see-no-(d)evil/hear-no-(d)evil/speak-no-(d)evil journalistic jewels were an Olympian distance up King K's 1,000-win can en route to trying to secure access to the Rio luxury ship living quarters. When the legal laryngitis fades away, will ESPN conduct a spectacle with Shane Battier, Jay Bilas and Jay Williams interviewing K about a potential colossal cover-up while other former Blue Devil standouts and chronic coaching apologist Duke Vitale serve as a support backdrop? In an effort to help separate fact from fiction, inquire whether athletic department personnel aware of sexual assault allegations reported the cases to the Office of Student Conduct per their Title-IX obligation.

It's the server, stupid! Blind chimps chucking darts connect more often with accuracy than the weekday evening/Sunday morning intellectually-superior ruling class/political pundits/strategists (a/k/a snake oil salespeople). J-School graduates are bad enough but many of TV's haughty hosts are beyond repair since they weren't so much as groomed as undergraduates to learn their craft as authentic journalists. Law school, history/international studies, philosophy and political science/economics majors dominate among Stephanopoulos and other haplessly jaded journalistic "jewels" including David Axelrod, Ashleigh Banfield, Wolf Blitzer, Erin Burnett, Eleanor Clift, Anderson Cooper, Chris Cuomo, S.E. Cupp, Seth Davis, Ronan Farrow, David Gregory, Poppy Harlow, Chris Hayes, Margaret Hoover, Kasie Hunt, Abby Huntsman, Hallie Jackson, Megyn Kelly, Martha MacCallum, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, Meghan McCain, Andrea Mitchell, Joe Scarborough, Kate Snow, Jake Tapper, Chuck Todd, Katy Tur, Gillian Turner, Greta Van Susteren, Meredith Vieira, Alex Wagner and Judy Woodruff. Scarborough seems to have been the banjo boy in movie Deliverance before infected by #MikaVirus to form BSLSD's version of Beavis and Butthead. The only time #TheDonald should take #MourningJoe's advice is if POTUS also wants to be the next Joe Crock(ofcrapper) musician, if medication is helpful in combating morbid #MikaVirus or if a mortician is needed because a young female staffer dies of head injury in the White House.

In the aftermath of Brian's lyin' and CNN Senior Media Correspondent Brian Stelter, great-and-glorious Geraldo, PolitiFact refusing to rate Williams' Iraq fable plus USATODAY hacks going out of their way to try to defend a fellow fib-lib, the good news is that the influence-peddling gig for the reprehensible broadcast networks, major daily newspapers and newsweeklies is nearly expired because the less-than-honest brokers are gutless wonders shackled by a business model in free-fall. Just ask tarnished leftist know-it-all Tina "Bitter Brit" Brown after losing $100 million in editorial endeavors and commentary totally devoid of neutrality highlighted by her failure to "Talk" about handouts and hand whatever involving humiliating head honcho #HollyweirdHarveySwinestein. Ditto equally ignorant and aggrieved Joan Walsh running Salon.com into the ground to where consortium of cultural crap can't pay its rent. Whether it's NewsWeak, New York Magazine, Pro Football Weekly, Spin, The Sporting News, Talk magazine, 30 AOL brands after The Huffington Post "gold-digger" merger or debt-ridden dailies offering employee buyouts all across the country, good riddance to the fourth-rate estate (NY/LA/St. Petersburg Slimes, Washington Compost, NY/Philly Daily Liberal Views, Milwaukee/Orlando Libs Slantinel, Atlanta Journal-Constipation, St. Louis Post-Disgrace, USELESS Today, etc.) and don't let death's door hit you in your contemptible can on the way out! To put it bluntly after a neurotic NY Slimes feature writer flagged FLOTUS Melania as floozy (filthily in manly manner behind closed doors of course), may you and your deplorable-descriptive adjectives such as "White-Hispanic" rot among feces at the bottom of a bird or animal cage! Our nation should have a new "Yellow Shower" holiday relieving ourselves on #MessMedia's variety of perverted products such as TIME, where leftists Halperin and Stengel previously were editors similar to nimrods chasing down sizzling story about Trump aide Stephen Miller eating glue as a third-grader.

Huffin'-and-Puffin'-a-ton, paying its contributors in the neighborhood of 15 cents an hour, knows as much about the difference between entertainment and politics as Airhead-ianna physically contributed to keep her husband from crossing over to what he perceived a more stimulating gender. How sick is Franken(stein) by groping Airhead-ianna? When the putrid press as we know it, totally wrong so incredibly long, is put out to pasture (including many suspect sports sandboxes and eventually the worthless White House press corps), what difference does it make as the disgraced relinquish the fight akin to quitter Roberto Duran (No Mas! No Mas!)? Actually, comedian Ron White has blossomed over the years into the smartest man in the world; especially with his "you-can't-fix-stupid" routine accurately depicting the vast majority of entitled mess media and political pundit personalities summed up by Williams, Stephanopoulos and Walsh as she took her pap from one piece of crap (MSNBC) to another (CNN). Lame-stream media wunderkind Ali Watkins became the latest poster child portraying how the press' journalistic standards include getting down on its hands, knees and back (with someone more than twice her age) to get the headline story.

In the meantime while seeking a free-speech safe place on the fringe, we'll simply conduct a "Countdown Circumcision" for when washed-up caustic commentator Keith "Worst Person in the World" Olbermann inevitably returns to or departs from BSPN or Mess-LSD again as lunatic lie-beral keeps coming back to his flunky followers like herpes infection. After a huge hammer removed the empty pants suit blocking the draining of the swamp, we need to discern where to donate funds for celebrities promising to leave country after they were trumped in election. Unless the Russians made them do it, ditto for media misfits such as Tur-rible with Caitlyn Jenner-like parent infected by "flexibility fatigue" rubbing shoulders and whatever else against twice-her-age unprincipled Olbermann. If #MessMedia such as filthy floozie Katie Nolan don't shape up, they need body slammed to activate their brains (> 90% of political donations to #Dimorats) and hearts (avid supporters of abortion). In the meantime, #TheDonald and remainder of us will need to endure ene-media COVFEFE (Constant Outlandish Vitriol From Egregious Fake-news Excrement) more outraged by Trump's tweets than Rocket Man's plans and FBI's faulty front office.

Extra! Extra! Read all about memorable major league baseball achievements and moments involving former college basketball players!
