The Well-I-Nevering News Media

I had to rest yesterday afternoon thanks to Lupus, but it was probably the most entertaining down time I have ever had in my life.

The fun started when I was tootling through Twitter and saw this:

President @realDonaldTrump’s letter to @SpeakerPelosi concerning her upcoming travel pic.twitter.com/TtBCvwp080

They say that laughter is the best medicine.

And after I read that letter from the President, I can tell you that’s true. Instantly, I felt a thousand times better.

Part of my delight was knowing we were about to be hit with a Category 5 Hurricane of Well-I-Nevering histrionics from our Guardians of the Truth.

And they didn’t let me down.

I lay with my iPad propped on my lap watching the news media carpet bomb Twitter with their angry, over-the-top well-I-nevering over President Trump cancelling this vanity trip thirty minutes before the plane was to take off.

And while Congressional Democrats were sitting on a bus waiting to go to the airport!!!

Come on! That’s the best part!

Man, my cheek muscles got sore from all the grinning.

Trump traveled to Iraq, Louisiana and Texas during the shutdown. And he kept his Iraq trip secret until he landed.

“Well, oh yeah?!” School of Journalism is the worst kind of journalism. https://t.co/z78HVmDKvM

"I can't believe Trump can be so petty." – journalists who cheered Pelosi's "power move" yesterday

— BT (@back_ttys) January 17, 2019

Trump punishes troops in Aghanistan b.c. his ego is hurt after Pelosi stopped him from forcing unpaid public safety officials to protect everyone at his lying SOTU. https://t.co/uvLHLFlYmG

“Punishes troops?!”

LOL!!!  Stop!!  You guys are killing me!

Does Jesse Ferguson think Nancy Pelosi is Ann Margaret or Joey Heatherton?

Who on Planet Earth thinks the troops feel “punished” by this?

Because a visit from Nancy is just like Ann Margaret going to Vietnam. pic.twitter.com/B95Uy3qevk

Having been in combat zones (the parts politician can’t go) and having worked on the Hill I can tell you that these visits mean nothing and all of Congress openly speaks about these trips (with eyes rolled) as photo ops and free vacations. https://t.co/urAGywM15V

PRO TIP: Troops despise visits from VIPs. It does nothing for them and makes their lives miserable in preparation. I assure you they’ll make it through this just fine. https://t.co/6PHaUaeJMc

— Doctor Jesse Kelly (@JesseKellyDC) January 17, 2019

You think reporters are mad now? You can’t even imagine how furious they’d be if they saw our troops laughing and high-fiving when they find out about this. I promise you this is going over well.

That’s all.

Is the State of the Union address an institution, or nah? https://t.co/dZURNRgYkB

Nancy Pelosi’s Chief of Staff was hardest hit.

Sorry, Drew. POTUS ain’t signing Nancy’s permission slip no matter how much whining you do. https://t.co/R1BO4jekY5

— Arthur Schwartz (@ArthurSchwartz) January 17, 2019

Sorry your trip was cancelled, Drew. https://t.co/sLmOi2Wc9Z

For those unaware:

CODELs are a boondoggle for rich politicians to get free vacations, trinkets, & Instagram photos for future campaign videos.

Ask anyone who’s worked at an Embassy and had to staff their bullsh*t demands for better hotels & longer spa days.

Cancel them all. https://t.co/zdnmGjPDUP

But the Well-I-Nevering news media topped even him.

We get it, you guys predictably don’t pick sides https://t.co/9u5drvzp9i

When owning Trump is more important than taking 2 seconds to realize that jet fuel isn’t milk https://t.co/cgCkXCaRGD

— Eddie Zipperer (@EddieZipperer) January 17, 2019

The Taliban knew Pelosi was coming.

And if you don’t think so — that somehow the Taliban hasn’t infiltrated the Afghan intel services — you know nothing about our stupid 17 year war. https://t.co/KV1xHvu08Q

— Bryan Dean Wright (@BryanDeanWright) January 17, 2019

Actually, Jake.  Nancy ain’t going to Afghanistan.  That’s kinda the point. So I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you.

I don’t know what’s funnier: the angry Democrats or the “well-I-nevering” reporters.

— Dianny ?? (@DiannyRants) January 17, 2019

The Well-I-Nevering news media sputtered and fumed for the rest of the day.

And it was glorious!

The best part was just 24 hours earlier, the news media were all busy running victory laps over Nancy canceling the President’s invitation to do the SOTU address.

And their jumbly glee got short-stopped by the Master.

This tweet didn’t age well at all. https://t.co/iv5GNz1Eu4

— Dianny ?? (@DiannyRants) January 18, 2019

These guys were so focuses on their well-I-nevering that they didn’t stop to realize just how deftly the President exposed their rank bias and inbred cheerleading for the Democrats.

The only honest way to cover Trump’s cancelling Pelosi’s trip is to call both petty because P cancelled SOTU, or to celebrate their boldness and ability to use the levers of power available to them.

We do not have an honest media.

— Mike Cernovich ??? (@Cernovich) January 17, 2019

Case in point Mr. “We don’t root for a side” Cilllizza of CNN.

Bottom line, the news media fell into a bottomless pit of hypocrisy thanks to President Trump’s masterful pushback.

And they’re too blinded by their own anti-Trump derangement to realize it.

This. Exactly on point. And what the fussy hens on cable news fail to grasp is that their well-I-nevering only amps us up more. https://t.co/MoYDhAwUOX

The Democrats, media, and GOP pundit class really do long for the days of Republicans politely getting slapped around.

— Doctor Jesse Kelly (@JesseKellyDC) January 17, 2019

Besides, never underestimate the power of the meme.

Trump cancelling this CoDel is providing us with some of the best meme material since Chuck and Nancy’s dreadful “Democrat Response.”

And not just created memes like this:

Great moments in aviation history. pic.twitter.com/19UlSy5ipQ

— Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) January 18, 2019

But also raw material like this:

BREAKING: Full cart of luggage has been returned to the halls of congress after @realDonaldTrump cancels @SpeakerPelosi's foreign triphttps://t.co/8yd3DrLsza pic.twitter.com/uSPudMBs0e

— Brent Scher (@BrentScher) January 17, 2019

And this:

— Jason Donner (@jason_donner) January 17, 2019

How long before Adam Schiff decides to subpoena the bus driver?

Game. Set. Match.

So I do want to thank the well-I-nevering news media and their masters in the Democrat Party.

You guys lifted the spirits of this Lupus-ridden gal immeasurably.
