Watch As Stephen Miller Sinks Jim Acosta’s Battleship On Immigration

If politics had a TKO?  Miller put on a clinic against CNN’s Jim Acosta, whose moral preening was on full display during this exchange.

Effectively, Acosta — supposedly a journalist and not a columnist — engaged in a tit-for-tat with White House aide Stephen Miller regarding the proposed immigration bill.

Let’s leave aside for a second who is right and who is wrong in this exchange.  The difference is here: Acosta hijacked the exchange in order to score political points in an effort to make himself the story, and Miller adroitly (and to his credit) refused to fall into the trap of taking the hit as others at the podium during the Trump administration have done.

Miller fought his way out of the ambush, just like you’re supposed to do.

The entire six minute exchange is worth your time.  Regardless as to where you stand on immigration policy or the particulars of this bill (we have our reservations), Acosta’s verbal sparring with Miller was the sort of exchange one expects from a journalist who is there to create the news, not report it.

It is the precise reason why Americans don’t trust the mainstream media, and despite reservations about the Trump presidency, have no stomach for returning to the media-driven Obama-era fawning over every progressive policy as a positive good.

Such are the times, folks.

Northam Rift On Pipeline So Bad, Protesters Are Showing Up To His Grand Openings

The story the media is finally covering in a but-whaddabout-Stewart sort of way can no longer be ignored.

The proposed 600-mile underground Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) is an interstate natural gas transmission pipeline that would serve multiple public utilities and their growing energy needs in Virginia and North Carolina.

For those interested in learning more about the project, check out the fact sheet over at Dominion Energy or the Atlantic Coast Pipeline project page.  For all the Frequently Asked Questions — including whether the energy will be shipped overseas (fun fact: it will not) — click here for all the facts.

More to the point, there’s a reason why the project enjoys broad bi-partisan support from the political center of Virginia.  Northam chose wisely by backing the project, even if his more extremist supporters would rather condemn 1 in 8 Virginians to energy poverty rather than see facts straight on.
