Watching Jim Acosta at a White House Press Briefing is akin to watching a determined three-year-old asking his mother why.\u00a0 Initially it\u2019s amusing but eventually it\u2019s unbearable.\u00a0 The mindlessness of it renders it a form of exquisite torture.\u00a0 In the three-year-old it\u2019s tolerated because you know it\u2019s a stage in the development of language and social skills.\u00a0 In an allegedly mature man with a White House Press Pass it\u2019s a symptom of the terminal illness that has infected the American body politic, bloodless civil war.\u00a0 Acosta is a proxy for the desire of millions of progressives to harass the President of the United States for winning the 2016 presidential election.\u00a0 He gets to mouth ridiculous complaints about the supposedly unfair statements President Trump makes about the press.\u00a0 And in his yammering repetition of what he thinks are damning indictments of the current administration we hear an echo of the half-witted chants of Antifa, BLM, Occupy Wall Street and every other neo-marxist street circus going all the way back to the drug addled imbecilic protesters of the 1960s.\u00a0 Hey hey, ho ho, blah blah blah has got to go.\u00a0 \u00a0Hey hey, ho ho, blah blah blah has got to go.\u00a0 Hey hey, ho ho, blah blah blah has got to go.\u00a0\u00a0 Hey hey, ho ho, blah blah blah has got to go\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n
Full of sound and fury signifying nothing.<\/p>\n
As ZMan is fond of saying \u201cwe live in unserious times.\u201d\u00a0 But in all actuality the stakes are very serious.\u00a0 A federal judge (and one appointed by President Trump no less) has granted a temporary injunction pending a decision on whether Jim Acosta\u2019s lunacy at White House press conferences is protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.\u00a0 The duly elected leader of the most powerful state to ever exist is thwarted in his important work of transmitting the proceedings of his administration to the Press by a bleating half-wit with an expensive hair-cut and a power tie.\u00a0 I\u2019m starting to think that the real victory of the Trump presidency will be when he begins reining in the madness that the Left inflicts on us daily.<\/p>\n
There is a school of thought that President Trump supports the daily barrage of leftist insanity as a way to garner sympathy from the American public, that the presence of Acosta actually stokes the anger that guarantees his constituency\u2019s ardor in supporting his causes.\u00a0 If that is true then I must be outside of his target audience.\u00a0 I would pay a month\u2019s gross salary to be rid of the likes of Jim Acosta from the daily news feed.\u00a0 If he were permanently banned from the White House and had to merely comment from the sidelines, I would be supremely pleased.\u00a0 It would be a solid win.\u00a0 It wouldn\u2019t change the world but it would be a sign that these lunatics sometimes have to retreat.\u00a0 So, President Trump, hear my plea.\u00a0 Don\u2019t just let Jim Acosta win.\u00a0 Push this all the way to the Supreme Court if need be and strike a blow for baseline sanity.\u00a0 Prove that this is still in some small way the same place that engendered Washington and Jefferson or for pity\u2019s sake at least Teddy Roosevelt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
