First the Media, Then Education

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags:

 

Yesterday it was reported that Rep. Devin Nunes to retire from Congress, to become CEO of Trump’s media company.  It's been noted his departure is sad because Nunes is "one of the good ones", and fear a Democrat would be appointed to replace him.  Well, since this is California, I don't think there can be doubt the Governor of California will appoint a Democrat? (Update: My e-mail group informs me the Constitution requires a special election. RK)  Also, concern has been expressed that he's one of the few vertebrate Republicans in the House, so who would replace him as their Super Star, as he was in "filleting" the Russian Hoax story.  Would being the CEO of a new social media site be more important than the work he did in Congress, and was Trump making things worse as a result?  

 

Nunes, admittedly has been a conservative Super Star, but there are  a couple of things I'm sure came into play here.  I've been told, by those who know, some just hate being in the Congress because its such a snake pit, and being one of the main conservatives, the snakes would be attacking him constantly. 

 

Heterodoxy isn't for the faint of heart, and even those with backbones can tire.   So, maybe he wanted to leave and this was his opportunity, and he might not have been re-elected as a result of redistricting in California.  

 

An unelected Super Star is no longer Super or a Star, so, I think this is actually good long range planning on his part......and Trump....especially Trump.  If successful, he'll be a bigger Super Star than he ever was in Congress. He can potentially have far more impact on more issues than he ever could in the Congress.  Remember Roger Ailes?  For a while he became the go to guy in the media with Fox News, something radically different than America was used to.  But he wasn't a real conservative, and his personal activity destroyed him.  

 

A major goal for conservatives in America should be co-opting the corruption of the left wing media, and the so-called conservatives worth untold millions aren't stepping up to do that, and Trump is.  

 

In order to do that and be successful you need people who actually believe in conservative values, not like Fox News and others who claim to be impartial. I no longer want impartial.  I just want the facts, and real history.  History and reality support conservatives and conservative values, whether it's climate change or abortion, because we now know, even with a few Super Star conservative commentators on Fox, in the background their "fair and balanced" dancing act is in reality lipstick on a dancing pig.

• Wow! FOX News Sidelines Lara Logan After Dr. Fauci Complains About Her Nazi Doctor Comparison

This piece by  Steve McCann,  The Left-Wing Legacy of the Mainstream Media, outlines just  how important this move may be. He notes that "over the past eight decades there have many frauds promoted by the mainstream media..  He notes the media "has always been the cheerleaders and propaganda arm of the left and the Democrat Party."  The FCC turned them into a government controlled media.  They promoted and praised Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin even when it was known they were murdering millions of innocent people.   Adored Castro, "slobbered over the rise of radical Islamic regimes", praised Daniel Ortega and Hugo Chavez, promoted socialism, praised China, and "willingly regurgitate the fabrications, innuendos, and “fake news” given to them by their domestic and international masters."  Can that be called anything less than treason?

But things are changing dramatically.  It started slowly with Rush Limbaugh, who created talk radio as we know it now, then FOX News declaring they wanted Fair and Balanced, and then came Trump, and people started saying, this is the reality I believe in.  

CNN is moribund, and has now been bought by a media mogul who is going to fire a bunch of leftist buffoons and turn it into an actual news source instead of a left wing opinion factory who've blabbered insane views, not to mention fallacious views, killing CNN.  Who knows, maybe they'll actually start reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop.   As Ed Sherdlu says at the end of his piece:

Do not expect a radical change overnight. But, if Malone keeps his promise, the new direction of CNN will be firmly carved into the tombstone of the old. The Suits at ABC, CBS, and NBC are well advised to watch closely.

 

So, I believe this is not only a good move on Nunes part, I believe he may be able to alter the news as we're seeing it in America.  CNN, as it has been, is dead.  After Trump's social media site is launched, will Twitter and Facebook follow?  As the reporter in Charlie Wilson's war said:  We'll see!

But this is only the first step.  First, capture the media, then capture education.  Both actions are absolutely essential!  Both action are foundational to preserve the American culture, the American identity, the American economy and the continued existence of the Constitution.   Those are the first major challenges that must be met above all.  Both require long range thinking, long range planning and long term implementation.  

 

Unrelenting long term implementation. 

This piece by Daniel Greenfield shows the importance of this.

 

Devin Nunes hints that Robert Mueller’s team will be exposed soon

By Andrea Widburg February 13, 2020

With impeachment receding in his rear-view mirror, and with the Democrat party fielding the weakest and most socialist crop of candidates since 1972, President Trump is feeling his oats. No wonder, then, that he’s got Bill Barr’s Justice Department working overtime to drain the Swamp.

In a recent interview with Lou Dobbs, Nunes obliquely suggested that the same attorneys who apparently railroaded the Roger Stone trial and then pressed for a seven-to-nine-year sentence for Stone’s first time, non-violent, generic D.C. offenses, will soon find themselves in the hot seat.

Nunes promised Dobbs (and his audience) that the Justice Department’s exposure of the cruel and disproportionate sentencing request for Stone “is not going to be the only example” of the questionable acts in which the Mueller team engaged........To Read More.....

Pursue Those Indictments!

By Roger Kimball April 13th, 2019

Last month, Chris Buskirk wrote a column for the Spectator USA describing Representative Devin Nunes as “a hero of the Republic.” It was well-deserved praise. Nunes, a Republican Congressman from a rural district in California was, until January, chairman of the House Permanent Special Committee on Intelligence (he is now the ranking member). Nunes has worked tirelessly for more than two years to expose what our masters in deep-state Washington would bury from the glare of public scrutiny: the evidence that the entire Trump-Russian collusion narrative was a partisan effort, first, to undermine the Trump presidential campaign and, when that failed, to cover up the effort while still working assiduously to destroy the Trump presidency.

As Buskirk points out, without Nunes’s terrier-like efforts—conducted, it has to be pointed out, against the background of scurrilous and unremitting calumnies from the Democrats and their bought-and-paid-for megaphones in the media—the public would likely be totally in the dark about what really happened over the course of 2016 as the Obama Administration and the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign endeavored to “dirty up” Trump and his colleagues, calmly at first, and then with growing hysteria as Trump, against all the odds, emerged as a serious challenger and eventual victor in the election that all the smartest people knew, just knew, that Hillary had sewn up. ......To Read More.....

Devin Nunes: 'Clear Evidence' Democrats Trying to 'Cover Up' Collusion With Russians, FISA Abuse

Chris Reeves Feb 24, 2018

On Saturday, Rep. Devin Nunes spoke at CPAC 2018 about his work as the head of the House Intelligence Committee, which has been investigating allegations of serious abuses of power by the Obama administration in surveilling the Trump presidential campaign back in 2016.  “What’s you’ve really seen is the collapse of the media”............Nunes also used his appearance at CPAC to comment on today’s release of the Schiff memo purporting to “correct the record” about the Trump-Russia investigation. “We actually wanted this out,” Nunes said. “We want it out because we think it is clear evidence that the Democrats are not only trying to cover [the FISA abuses] up, but they’re also colluding with parts of the government to help cover this up.” The congressman continued: “What you’re not going to see is anything that actually rejects what was in our memo.” ...............To Read More.....
