Heidi Hole

He did indeed. The "it" in question was the battle of the prospective first ladies between Cruz and Trump and Coulter's insight was posted in response to a tweet by Kasie Hunt of MSNBC News who thought Anderson Cooper had a cleaver response to Trumps nuclear Twitter strike in this war. Here is how it goes down in the land of TV "journalism" and I want you to think about the exchange real hard.
Donald Trump: "He started it."
Anderson Cooper: "Sir, with all due respect, that's the argument of a 5-year-old."
The first question to ask yourself is did Ted Cruz start it? The second question is (and I happen to have a 5 year old) weather this is the "argument of a 5-year-old" and even if it is, does that invalidate the point being made respectfully or not?

The answer to question 1 is YES, Ted Cruz did start it and the attack (and eventual planned sacrifice) of Melania Trump was coordinated with Cruz supporting "conservatives" in the media (including whack-jobs like Glenn Beck) and a Cruz affiliated Super PAC with the sole purpose of embarrassing Trump and costing him votes. The Make America Awesome! (yep, there is an exclamation point) Super PAC had tested Melania spots in Utah to great effect and were ready to roll them out in other primary States (don't bother trying to find these racy ads now because they've all been pulled from the internet) but now they've changed their minds - wonder why? My guess is that the Cruz campaign had already prepped the MSM with stories of how successful the Melania angle had been for their candidate and every cable news and Sunday talk show had a package cued up and ready to broadcast showing this (for a full week):

Speaks 5 languages and is smoke'n hot

Instead, America got THIS:
Never saw it coming
Now there are few things that can rattle Ted Cruz's cage and, putting his deep devotion for Heidi to the side, a tweet about his wife is not one of them. But having a long planned strategic attack blow up in his face WILL piss Cruz off.


Now Heidi is canceling events in New Jersey and Celebrating Women with Ted in Wisconsin. A few months of Trump tweets and she'll probably look like this:

Once was beautiful and fetching - Now a stone cold UES bitch

Which brings us to the second question and the fact is, even for 5 year olds, there is always someone who starts it. 5 year olds are not wrong - in fact they're usually telling the truth about who started it, but parents being stupid and impatient don't want to go through the arduous process of figuring out why the older sibling (usually) or friend started the argument so they get exasperated and give the 5 year old a "time out" even though he's innocent. This is the role that "grownup" Anderson Cooper is trying to play in his questioning of Trump - he doesn't want to know the truth. He just wants it to stop - and so does the 5 year old.

Psycho Killer, qu'est-ce?

I came into this wicked world in the early 1960's and as a result I have born witness to America's 50 Years of Failure which includes the modern age of mass shootings by psychotic men who "go off" on a given day, for no reason at all (except "guns"), and kill scads of innocent bystanders. Back in August of 2019 a KOTCB blog post titled " Reciprocity City " explored a young  gunman  named Patrick Crusius  who drove 9 hours through the west Texas flatlands to shoot up El Paso, TX The KOTCB has commented on many of these shootings, bombings and knifings over the years -  The roots of the Boston Marathon Bombing ,  the Emanuel AME Church shooting ,  Syed Rizvan Farook and his bride Tashfeen Malik ,  Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooting ,  Nick Cruz lovesick Parkland shooting ,  the Iranian, PETA activist, Vegan Bodybuilder, YouTuber's attack on Google  and now this very oddly timed and placed "lone wolf" attack on Walmart shoppers. This list

The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view

Who voted for this guy?

Who voted for this guy? It's been ten days since the results of the Maricopa County, Arizona ballot audit were released to the public and presented at a hearing held by the state senate. This exercise in democratic accountability had been going on for months and, if reports are to be believed, was completed well over a  month before the September 24th hearing where   overwhelming proof of an illegitimate election was presented to lawmakers . The audit showed multiple irregularities, fake ballots, duplicate counts, errors, omissions and egregious acts of sabotage and obstinance by the Maricopa County board of supervisors who did everything they could to withhold and destroy evidence of wrongdoing from the citizen sleuths. The misfeasance of Arizona's political leaders was clearly defined, shocking and (for some) beyond belief but somehow these facts were discovered, organized, packaged and suppressed for MONTHS by the Cyber Ninjas who were attempting to "get to the bottom&q
