BOLD like a Leopard

GREEN PARTY NOW ABOUT $$$? STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT DIFFERENT PEOPLE SHOWING UP! I "endorsed" Jill Stein prior to the election as the character candidate, the only one that people concerned about temperament could back without getting an eye roll from me. But this recount nonsense might change that. As of right now? Still infinitely preferable to Hillary!  (Twitter) I didn't want to get into this because before the election I officially semi-endorsed Jill Stein as the most principled candidate in the race. That may no longer be true: She's calling for an official recount in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Pennsylvania in 2016. Hillary Clinton (blue) alienated all of coal country in the west and lost two heavily Luzerne, Northampton, and Erie counties entirely. (By Ali Zifan ) Pennsylvania in 2012, where Obama was able to even the score by being competitive in rural counties and even coal country. (By Inqvisitor) In Wisconsin , on...

IF YOU CARED ABOUT THE POPULAR VOTE YOU WOULD HAVE BEHAVED OTHERWISE EVERY OTHER TIME. From USAToday. Political commentators in the MSM have already trotted out the nonsense about the stolen election from 2000. They never complain when popular vote decisions that go against their editorial line get overturned in court. Outcry over the popular vote is just one more desperate gadget out of the bag of suck that the Eastern media establishment and their Democrat clients are using as tools to bail out the massive amounts of water they've taken on since the 2016 election.

This blog, the BOLD opinion page, and all of what's been built is all well and good. But let's get real: The greatest influence on opinion this year was exerted by people that were active a lot longer than me or any of the other writers on the BOLD page. Also, the rot in the existing media sphere extends a lot farther back than recent celebrities that supported Hillary Clinton. So maybe none of these people will read this, but I'm calling them out right how. Here are your 1st (maybe last) annual BOLDIES and LEPERS. BOLDIE: Best in traditional or print journalism --  Peter Schweizer, Breitbart/freelance.  His 2015 non-fiction release Clinton Cash hit #3 on the New York Times  bestseller list already in May of that year and gave the public one of the main angles through which to view the Hillary Clinton email scandal. LEPER: Worst in traditional or print journalism: Barstow, Twohey, Craig, and Buettner, NYTimes .  Three time Pulitzer winner David Barst...
