   MSNBC Stumbles Upon Truth... Sort of

   Sometimes truth is discovered via dogged determination in a relentless examination of the evidence, and sometimes it is stumbled upon all unwittingly. The latter method of truth discovery was recently experienced by MSNBC’s Chris Hayes.
   
   In an on-screen segment, Mr. Hayes was trying to make the point that the Electoral College disenfranchises people and should be abolished in favor of one-person, one-vote. But then he said the most amazing thing.
   
   

   “And the weirdest thing about the Electoral College is the fact that if it wasn’t specifically in the Constitution for the presidency, it would be unconstitutional."

   
   Yes, that’s how it works… nice of MSNBC to finally acknowledge that.
   
   The US Constitution was written as a list of enumerated (that means specifically listed) powers for the Federal Government to exercise, with any power NOT listed being illegal, forbidden, and unconstitutional.
   
   So yes, if the Founders had not set up the Constitution to provide for the election of a President by an electoral college, then such an institution would have lain beyond their powers, and hence, would have been unconstitutional.
   
   The rest of us already knew that, Mr. Hayes, so what took you so long?
   
   Given that MSNBC advocates for political policies such as rigid gun control, national minimum wages, and other programs NOT enumerated as specific powers of Congress, it is amusing that they should sort of accidentally show an understanding of how the Constitution works.

Tulsi hits a triple.

 

THE NEWS MEDIA - Megyn Kelly, "Can I swear?" John Stossel, "Sure." Megyn Kelly, "So f***ing confused."

Perhaps if you came here often enough you would read the quote above...maybe the font is a bit small so let's repeat it here, so you don't miss it this time: Former CBS News president Richard Salant (1961 - 64 and 1966 - 79) explained the major media's role, "Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have."

That seems to be the problem with most Americans who have been brain-washed since the days of Walter Cronkite, John Dewy and the rest (too many names to list here but before you start hammering away at me for naming Cronkite then perhaps you should review the video here). My objective for posting the video below is to educate all the faithful CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, and FOX News viewers that what they're watching is mostly contrived stuff to obtain ratings. Like the quote says, "Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have." 

Thanks for stopping by, Storm'n Norm'n, you can leave any atta-boys in the comment section below.

Biden Did You Know

2022... the year of lying...and they're not even good at it. (Updated)

This just in: (December 26, 2022)

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has a tenuous relationship with the truth. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts stepped in to stop a lower court judge’s ruling that Title 42 could expire while the Court decides its fate. The Supreme Court is mulling over whether to take up a legal challenge to keep the policy in place from Republican states or side with the Biden regime and let it expire. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is furiously trying to lie and deny her way out of the border crisis unfolding under Biden. At a press briefing before the Supreme Court stepped in, temporarily keeping Title 42 in place, she denied that the border was open. “I want to be very clear here. The fact is that the removal of Title 42 does not mean the border is open,” Jean-Pierre said. “Anyone who suggests otherwise is simply doing the work of these smugglers who, again, are spreading misinformation which is very dangerous.” The Border Patrol is bracing upwards of 18,000 illegals attempting to cross per day if Title 42 expires, more than double the current amount. She added, “It would be wrong to think the border is open. It is not open.” Record numbers of illegals have entered the country during the worst border crisis in the country’s history. President of the National Border Patrol Council Brandon Judd unloaded on Jean-Pierre for claiming the border isn’t open in an appearance on Just the News, No Noise. “Her title should be ‘chief of propaganda,'” Judd said. “That’s what it should be. Apparently, she does not want the American public to know the truth. She wants it to be withheld from them.” Jean-Pierre has repeatedly denied that illegals are walking into the country despite the mountain of evidence to the contrary.
