    Picture of the Week – Spying on Trump

    As an image of Barrack Obama spying on Donald Trump in Trump Tower goes viral, we call on America to section the lunatic president

    On Sunday, Florida based Michael Hussey, editor of the Pushing Rope blog, shared an amusing image of Donald Trump in his ghastly, over gilded Trump Tower apartment on Instagram. Outside the window –Photoshopped into the picture – is Barrack Obama suckered to the building and peering in with a pair of binoculars.

     

    Though what Mr Hussey shares will certainly amuse many, Trump’s unsubstantiated claims on Twitter about being wiretapped are anything but. Here, again, all we see is evidence of a lunatic in charge of the asylum and now, one can only hope, the powers that will be will finally act: It is time for Donald Trump to be sectioned.

    Caitlyn Jenner proves herself to be truly hypocritical; it is time this self-publicist were simply ignored

     

    Caitlyn Jenner is a person with nothing else on her agenda other than keeping herself in the public eye. This transgender ‘reality star’ appeared to support Donald Trump’s election campaign in 2016, spoke at the Republican National Convention last July and attended the Liberty Ball at Donald Trump’s inauguration. She did so because she thought hanging out with the 45th POTUS would generate headlines and boy did this linkup do just that.

     

    The 67-year old former Olympian, now realising the swell of public opinion about Trump has turned very much for the worse, issued a video message Thursday criticising a decision to reverse President Obama’s transgender bathroom directive and termed it “a disaster”. She concluded: “Finally I have a message for President Trump, from, well, one Republican to another… You can still fix it. You made a promise to protect the LGBT community. Call me”.

     

    Jenner – whose previous statements about politicians have included terming Hillary Clinton a “f**king liar” and stating that Trump “would be very good for women’s issues… I don’t think he’s out there to destroy women or take things away or do any of that kind of stuff” – is a hypocrite and motivated only by keeping her sorry clan’s money making machine on the road. It’d be best if she were now instead simply ignored.

    P**s Off Piers

    Piers Morgan withdraws from presenting an awards ceremony after an online campaign to oust him went viral; next he needs to leave Britain for good

     

    On Sunday, Piers Morgan, undoubtedly one of the most loathed men in Britain, took to social media to explain why he has opted to pull out of hosting the Royal Television Society Programme Awards after an online campaign to have him ousted went viral. Amongst those to have supported it were the spin doctor turned journalist Alastair Campbell, the actor Adrian Lester, OBE and the playwright and novelist Bonnie Greer, OBE.

     

    In the statement, Morgan – a man best known for publishing fake pictures of British soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners in 2004 and for his feuds with everyone from Jeremy Clarkson to J. K. Rowling – remarked:

     

    I was recently invited to host the Royal Television Society Programme Awards.


    As someone who has worked in British and American television for most of this Millennium, on a variety of shows, I thought it might be fun and agreed to do it without any fee.


    After my role was announced, a campaign was started to have me banned.


    It suggested that I lack the ‘creative excellence’ criteria required for presenting such an event and therefore my presence would be ‘damaging’ and ‘inappropriate’.


    Further, I have ‘failed to understand a social movement that values equality and diversity of voice’.


    Apparently, this movement does not extend to tolerating my own diverse voice.


    I have no wish to serve as an unnecessary distraction from award winners whose hard work and skill should be celebrated without any of the silly noise this campaign has generated.


    So, I am now withdrawing from hosting the evening. Good luck to everyone who has been nominated.

     

    Morgan (who was born Piers O’Meara and whose full name is Piers Pughe-Morgan), for the first time in his life, has understood the public mood and reacted appropriately. Given how much he is hated in Britain and given his love for his friend Donald Trump, we urge him to continue on the path of sensible moves and emigrate. He should permanently move to America and he should never come back.

  • Stephen Miller

    Stephen Miller

    “Insufferable liar” Stephen Miller hails from a “liberal-leaning Jewish family” from Santa Monica, California but became right-of-right after reading a book by the CEO of that National Rifle Association, Wayne LaPierre. He was born in 1985, is a graduate of Duke University and was appointed Senior Policy Advisor to the President by Donald Trump in December 2016. Like his boss, “brash” Miller – who is said to have been a “bigot, xenophobe and homophobe” whilst at school – has a tendency to repeat himself and in February 2016, of the proposed Mexican wall, remarked: “[It’ll] pay for itself many, many, many, many times over” before adding: “I’ll go on any show, at any time, anywhere”. When this media mouthpiece does, anyone sane will most definitely turn off.

     

  • Too To Trump

    Too To Trump

    In spite of having legions of supposedly educated staff, Donald Trump’s official inauguration portrait poster featured a glaringly obvious typo

     

    Donald Trump isn’t known as a man of words. His somewhat nutty Twitter posts are dominated by exclamation marks and repetition – “Beautiful! Beautiful!” – but what surprised many at the weekend was that, in spite of having a staff of around 400 in the White House, his newly published official inauguration poster featured a typographical error.

     

    Sold on the Library of Congress’s website, the portrait of the 45th President of the United States of America read:

     

    “No dream is too big, no challenge is to great. Nothing we want for the future is beyond our reach”.

     

    None of Trump’s staff noticed that “to” should have been “too” – in spite of the word being correctly used in the first instance – and though every rational person on the planet believes Trump has already gone “too far”, this boo-boo was definitely “too, too much”.

     

    The page selling the print has now been removed.

    Blocking Betsy

    Donald Trump begs supporters to help him stop his whack-job, wannabe bear killer education secretary nominee, Betsy DeVos, being blocked

     

    In an email to supporters Saturday, ‘Trump Headquarters’ begged supporters to sign a petition of support for President Trump’s nominee for secretary of education, Betsy DeVos.

     

    In the missive, which shared the news that Democrats are just one vote away from blocking DeVos’s appointment, though it is suggested that “Betsy has dedicated her life to fighting for greater education opportunities for children”, no reference is made to the fact that she has no degree, no teaching experience, never attended university and believes in only Christian-based education.

     

    No mention is made either of the Republican mega-donor having lauded the idea of guns being kept in schools to “protect [children] from potential grizzlies” (grizzly bears) and her recent inability to answer questions on basic education policies, including proficiency versus growth.

     

    Aside from warmongering, white supremacist Steve Bannon and fake massacre inventing, ‘alternative truth’ believing Kellyanne Conway, Mrs DeVos truly is one of the worst of Trump’s choices thus far. She truly deserves to be stopped.

  • Nigel Farage: ‘Man of the Elite’

    Nigel Farage: ‘Man of the Elite’

    Nigel Farage joins the elite and moves to a large period property in Chelsea, London

     

    Until recently Nigel Farage claimed he was the leader of the “people’s army”. He presented himself as a man living in a “small semi-detached house in the country” and someone who had “no regrets about being poor”. He targeted working class voters, sought out the “ordinary man” and championed bringing down the “elite”.

     

    This pint-loving politician, it now transpires, has now taken up residence in a large period house in Elystan Street, Chelsea. Situated next door to My Hotel Chelsea, the white painted property is “owned by a businessman” according to the Mail on Sunday. Mr Farage is allegedly using it as his weekday “bolthole”, the paper adds, but does not declare if he is paying rent.

     

    Spotted recently dining at upmarket eatery Bibendum – accompanied by four burly security guards – also, Farage is as entitled to make money and live the high life as much as the next man. In doing so, however, he can no longer claim to be a ‘Man of the People’. Instead, it’s time billionaire Donald Trump’s new ‘British Best Friend’ admitted what he now is: Meet Nigel Farage – ‘Man of the Elite’.

    Rumblings in Pont Street

    Scene of a Dawn Ward shoving match Salmontini closes to makes way for a new restaurant by chef Nuno Goncalves; next door, hotel The Hari replaces its Pont Street restaurant too

     

    Opened in September 2014, Salmontini was a restaurant in Belgravia’s Pont Street that was never going to be a hit. Aside from its weird name, it was the scene of a fish fuelled fight between the former pop singer Sinitta and the champagne loving, Prosecco hating Real Housewives of Cheshire “star” Dawn Ward in September 2015. Mrs Ward, a balayage haired woman with an attitude to social media usage similar to Donald Trump, was subsequently convicted of assault in June 2016.

     

    On Thursday on Facebook, former 12 Hay Hill chef Nuno Goncalves announced that he is to take over Salmontini’s premises as chef-patron. He stated:

     

    “1 Pont St. House will be my new venture, where you can expect a relaxed atmosphere, classy fine dining where the emphasis is on the best quality farm and urban farm to table produce, the season’s best foraged ingredients cooked with an array of old meets new cooking techniques”.

     

    The double-fronted building, which was previously occupied by amongst others The Palm and Drones, stands next to The Hari (formerly the Belgraves London hotel). Its strangely decorated restaurant, Pont Street by Sophie Michell, closed recently too and will be replaced in February by an Italian bar and restaurant named Il Pampero.

  • Panic Over The Price

    Panic Over The Price

    Vast New York triplex with three bullet-proof panic rooms at The Heritage at Trump Place reduced in price by 47%; Is the Trump connection a factor?

     

    In 2012, a Saudi royal placed a fifth, sixth and seventh triplex he “rarely uses” on the market for £61.7 million ($75 million, €71 million or درهم275.5 million). It didn’t sell and now it’s back for sale for just £32.9 million ($40 million, €37.9 million or درهم147 million) through Elizabeth Mercedes Berk of Mercedes/Berk.

     

    Featuring three bullet-proof panic rooms and extending to a total of 10,500 square foot over three levels, #6A at 240 Riverside Boulevard – alternatively known as The Heritage at Trump Place – is a combination of six units in what is described as “one of New York’s finest full-service condominiums”. It is currently configured to provide 3 bedrooms but comes with plans to turn it into a 5-bedroom home.

     

    Enjoying 120 foot of “contiguous, unobstructed park and Hudson River views”, the Upper West Side property – which is within a building that was completed in 2005 – features three private terraces, a restaurant quality kitchen with a sushi bar, a billiards room, a hair salon, a ventilated cigar room, a six-person Jacuzzi and a saltwater aquarium. Two adjacent units that currently provide staff accommodation can be included in the sale for an additional sum.

     

    The current owner, Prince Nawaf bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, is 82 years old and said to be confined to a wheelchair. He was Director General of Saudi Intelligence from 2001 to 2005 and is described as “a close ally of the late King Abdullah”.

     

    One has to ask: “With Donald Trump’s name associated with the building, will panic set in and will the price drop further?” We’re guessing the answer is “yes”.

    Unlikely Bedfellows

    Sarah Palin’s attempt to gain the support of Julian Assange shows that conventional politics have been consigned to history

     

    In a post Wednesday on her Facebook account, batty Sarah Palin did an about turn and apologised to Julian Assange – a man she’d described as “an anti-American operative with blood on his hands” in 2010.

     

    In a missive to her followers, the dimmest politician on the planet stated the Wikileaks founder had “exposed the truth” about what Assange had described as “the Obama administration’s attempt to delegitimise Donald Trump”. She went on to claim the fugitive, who remains holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in Knightsbridge, had shared “important information that finally opened people’s eyes to Democrat candidates and operatives” and concluded: “This would not have been exposed were it not for Julian Assange”.

     

    That Republican firebrand Mrs Palin said such a thing is yet another example of conventional politics being turned on its head. The election of Donald Trump and Brexit in Britain seemed bonkers but that this unhinged woman is seeking out the support of a man who is an evader of justice and a self-appointed crusader of vanity is something one simply could never have made up.

     

    2017 looks set to be the year when the loopy people of the world unite. God help us all.

     

    Sarah Palin’s Facebook post in full:

     

    To Julian Assange: I apologize.

     

    Please watch Sean Hannity’s interview with Julian Assange (Wikileaks).

     

    Exposing the truth re: the Left having been oh-so-guilty of atrocious actions and attitudes of which they’ve falsely accused others. The media collusion that hid what many on the Left have been supporting is shocking. This important information that finally opened people’s eyes to democrat candidates and operatives would not have been exposed were it not for Julian Assange.

     

    I apologize for condemning Assange when he published my infamous (and proven noncontroversial, relatively boring) emails years ago.

     

    As I said at the time of being targeted and my subsequent condemnation, though, the line must be drawn before our troops or innocent lives deserving protection would be put at risk as a result of published emails.

     

    Julian, I apologize.

     

    Sarah Palin

     

    P.S. If you get the chance, catch the movie “Snowden.” That movie and Hannity’s interview tonight are quite enlightening.
