A bad couple of years for anonymous sources

After the 1961 season, Whitey Ford said, “It was a bad year for the Babe” — a reference to two of his records broken in October of that year.

Well, no records were broken here, but it was a really bad couple of years for those reporters, and their editors, who decided to break stories based on all those “sources familiar with the investigation.”

I wonder if any will have the character to step up and say “we messed up badly.”

I agree with Roger Simon that the media may be suffering the biggest consequences of this investigation:

So there you have it, folks. Two years worth of investigation and millions of taxpayer dollars for that, not to mention hamstringing the president of the United States in his activities almost everywhere he went during the same period.

Proud of yourselves, David Corn, CNN, John Brennan, MSNBC, Adam Schiff, Washington Post, Don Lemon, Eric Swalwell, New York Times, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc., etc., ad nauseam? Think you saved the republic? Actually, you owe Donald Trump billions. You made out like bandits lying through your teeth about him for two years.

I am not sure they made out like bandits, however.

Yes, the Democrats, most of them representing safe districts, will have zero consequences.  At this point, I don’t know how anybody takes Representative Eric Swalwell seriously!

The media won’t be so lucky.  Yes, MSNBC will continue to attract the 3 million people drunk on Trump Derangement Syndrome, but the others will see their ratings or readership suffer.

A bad year for the media.

Hickenlooper has a point

Like you, I’m having a hard time following the Democratic candidates running for President, from Beto to Bernie!  

It seems like all they do is make statements to appeal to the left-wing crowds showing up at their rallies.  My God, you can’t even get a Democrat willing to say that abortion in the eighth month is more than a talking point about reproductive rights.  These people are automatic responses to any question that comes their way.

I’ve asked myself a few times:  Will any one of these guys and gals ever say something politically incorrect?

My answer came in the name of Governor John Hickenlooper.  He may have said the unthinkable:   

Asked by Dana Bash if he would vow to put a woman on his presidential ticket, John Hickenlooper replied, “Of course,” and then said, “How come we’re not asking, more often, the women, ‘Would you be willing to put a man on the ticket?’” 

The governor has a good point.  

I would advise the governor to go further.   He should ask:  Why aren’t focusing on nominating a ticket that can win 270 Electoral Votes rather than just looking to check off boxes on an identity politics checklist?

I plan to vote for President Trump.  On the one hand, I want the Democrats to keep going lefty “crazy”.  On the other hand, our democracy depends on two serious parties that can discuss real world solutions to our complicated problems.   

Maybe Governor Hickenlooper is a ray of hope!

Maybe the Democrats are telling us something!

Is reality finally sinking in? 

Let me share a couple of stories from this week.

Over in New York, they want to investigate everyone who had a cup of coffee with then private citizen Trump or his family.   Investigating Trump is about all you hear from New York’s leaders, especially Attorney General Letitia James who is a woman on a mission.

At the same time, the typical New Yorker would rather see his or her leaders concentrate on the state’s high cost of living.   They are voting this way by looking to move out of state:  A third of New Yorkers want out!

Another story is that support for impeachment is down among Democrats, according to this article over at CNN:   

Support for impeaching President Donald Trump has fallen 7 points since December, a CNN Poll conducted by SSRS finds, following Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi calling impeachment “so divisive to the country.”

The decline — from 43% in favor in December to 36% now — stems largely from a change in Democratic views on impeaching the President.

So what’s going on?   Is there a connection between these two stories?

Yes, I think that two things are going on.

Democrats are voting with their feet and telling their “blue leaders” to govern, from health care to encouraging Amazon to bring jobs!

It raises a question:   Is there room for a Democrat presidential candidate who runs on a message to cut taxes and stop investigating for the sake of investigating?

I don’t know, but Democrats are telling us something and no one running for President is hearing it.

It’s time for another article about change coming to Cuba

Like some of you, I check social media for Cuba updates.  

This is the latest I found a.k.a as change is coming in Cuba: 

Cuban legal experts say they expect the government to send the National Assembly between 60 and 80 proposed laws over the next two years. They told The Associated Press that these measures, when approved, would replace laws considered outdated.

The assembly is almost sure to approve all government proposals, as it has for years.

“I expect to see big changes in Cuba with the new constitution,” said Julio Antonio Fernandez, a law professor at the University of Havana. “A new state structure, a transformed political system, led by the Communist Party, of course, but different and confronting big challenges,” he added.

One of the first changes will be in Cuba’s political system. In the next five months, the government is required to pass a new electoral law. The measure would split the duties of head of state and government between the current president and a new position of prime minister.

Also, new governors will replace the Communist Party first secretaries as the highest official in Cuba’s 15 provinces.

The Communist Party remains the only political group permitted in the country. However, the wording in the new constitution could give voters a choice among different Communist Party candidates instead of just voting “yes” or “no” for a single candidate chosen by the government.

So let me translate.   

Change is coming but The Communist Party will stay on top and going nowhere; and,

Electoral reform is coming but you will choose between two communists for office. Yes “Fidel A” vs “Fidel B”!

Change?   Not really!   Just more of the same that we’ve seen before.
