The Ongoing Frustration of Trump's Conservative Critics
Town Hall
July 7, 2017
Most Trump supporters are not cultists who are blind and indifferent to his faults and indelicacies, but nor are they soiling themselves in agony over them. They have not betrayed their principles in supporting and defending Trump. They are not hypocrites for cheering him on against the plethora of leftist assaults. They don't root for Trump because they seek revenge against the left, as some have wrongly supposed. The left's war on America, as founded, is ongoing, not some one-off offense for which we seek redress.

Statement by The Ponder Editor Concerning Trump Bodyslam of CNN

I am about to say something very unpopular, but I don't care. Just because it is unpopular doesn't make it any less the truth:

CNN is astounded at a Trump video that depicts him body slamming CNN. Other Journalists have feigned being shocked along with CNN, accusing Trump of inciting violence against the media.

That is simply not true. He has, however, been shown on CNN in videos that beheaded and tortured him. So, what is wrong with him fighting back?

The DC article I read is quoted as saying: “Around the world, journalists are murdered with impunity on a regular basis,” Poynter managing editor Ben Mullin gravely stated. “This isn’t funny.”

It isn't funny when a certain news organization concentrates all of it's efforts on destroying our President, either. How many other Presidents has it destroyed with lies and fake news? How many other PEOPLE?

The thing is, for CNN to cry out for freedom of speech, and then decry it because it was used against them is justice...pure and simple.

I, for one, am cheering that body slam on!

Signed, a very strong supporter of Freedom of the Press -- providing that EVERYONE, including the President, has it.
