The Typical Cynical Democrat-Media Strategy to Distract from the Failure of Obamacare

Smear alert!  Once again, Trump haters are spreading a weak story to tie the President to the heinous Jeffrey Epstein.  This garbage has been going on for months, aided by a corrupt media that has absolutely no standards of behavior. … [T]he public has the right to know about solid data linking powerful people to the abuser, but unverified stuff should not be made public … because of likely damage to [people] who might be innocent of wrongdoing. … Now, a leaked and nebulous email chain by Epstein to … Michael Wolff does exactly what I feared. For years, Wolff made money trying to harm Trump and his family. Epstein was apparently angry about being banned from Mar-a-Lago by Trump, so Wolff was trying to exploit that but came up with zero.  Doesn’t matter. The innuendo is what Trump-haters want.  Truth is not imperative.  Another pathetic example of modern “news gathering.”

[The] Dems Lost the Schumer Shutdown, So… Epstein!  The late convicted pedophile has become little more than a distraction for whoever needs one at any given moment. … Wednesday morning, Democrats were reeling from their embarrassing defeat in the Schumer Shutdown fiasco. Democrats repeatedly voted against opening the government, and when a few of them finally caved, most of the party was livid. Even the Left-media turned, admitting what we all knew the whole time: Democrats shut down the government for a record 43 days, leading to, among other signs of the apocalypse, chaos at airports with unpaid air traffic controllers and thousands of cancelled flights, as well as masses of people threatening to loot stores because they couldn’t buy groceries Coke and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups without food stamps.  What’s a party of political performance artists to do? Release three of Jeffrey Epstein’s emails to make Donald Trump look bad [of course!].

A Dumb Fight Dumbly Fought by Democrats: [Obama’s] “Affordable” Care Act [Obamacare] is the Left’s Holy Grail of legislation. Despite more than a decade of evidence that the law has driven up costs dramatically while enriching health insurance companies and undermining the quality of healthcare, they will defend [it] as if it were handed down from the Almighty on Mount Horeb.  … The Democratic Party’s base was deflated, and heading into the off-year elections.  [They] desperately needed something to anger their base. The shutdown offered just the ticket to manufacture outrage.  Senate Minority Leader Schumer and House Minority Leader Jeffries … demanding that Republicans commit to additional health-care spending as a condition for reopening the government. They knew Republicans would never agree …  So, the shutdown was never so much about healthcare [but] about getting their voters off the couch and into the voting booths.

[Barak Obama’s 2013] Lie of the Year: ‘If you like your health care plan, you can keep [your health care plan].’

                                    Politifact, 12/12/13

The Cynical Campaign to Make Republicans Responsible for Obamacare’s Failures: Would you believe that Obamacare is suddenly and unexpectedly on the brink of financial collapse only because Republicans won’t rescue it, and it is incumbent on [Republicans] to preserve [it] from ruin? The national press hopes you will. A full-court press to emotionally blackmail the GOP into taking ownership of the unfunded health insurance liability [that] they [always] opposed.  The shameless degree to which left-of-center and mainstream outlets alike are drawing attention to Obamacare’s structural flaws as though that was the GOP’s problem to solve has been remarkable.

Noah Rothman, National Review, 11/12/24

One of the beautiful things about being a progressive [or Democrat or “liberal”] is that you don’t have to remember what happened yesterday.  You passed [Obama’s] “Affordable Care Act.”  You promised us that all the prices of healthcare would go down.  When [the price] tripled [or] quadrupled, you shut the government down today and say it’s because mean old nasty Republicans won’t fund [your scam].

The Shutdown Was Pointless and Dumb:  But there is much more where that came from.

Rich Lowry, The Patriot Post, 11/12/25

Democrats Get Rolled by Their Own: Senate centrist Democrats, with Schumer’s tacit encouragement, vote to reopen the government on Republican terms. These people would fold a royal flush. … Coming out of Tuesday’s election blowout, the Democrats were riding high and unified. …  Less than a week later, it is Democrats who have given it all away, and Democrats who are fractured.

Listening to the Democrat Party, with the vigorous support of the Democrat Party Propaganda Collective or DPPC (aka the “mainstream” or “legacy” media), “analyse,” should that be the right word for it, the suddenly re-emergent alleged Trump-Epstein “scandal”, one must be forgiven if one hears the theme music for The Twilight Zone in the background.   Apparently, one is not supposed to mention that the reason this alleged scandal has suddenly re-emerged from the Democrat Party garbage can is that the Democrats and their DPPC shills have just been completely humiliated by their completely stupid and mismanaged “Schumer Shutdown” of the government.   Obviously, a diversion is needed to distract from the cruelty and stupidity of the Democrat Party and DPPC.  And the alleged Trump-Epstein friendship (both fabulously wealthy and both lived in Palm Beach Florida where they had to know each other) is just the thing!   It appears that some e-mails have surfaced at just the right moment to produce the diversion which show …. exactly what? 

We haven’t seen this much smelling salts and hyperventilating since the Democrat-DPPC Trump/Russia hoax that did so much damage to the nation (not that any of them care).  Unfortunately, the BBC, notoriously unfriendly to Trump, fails to find anything but innuendo and supposition in the latest Wolff e-mails.  Nate Jackson (with my own commentary in red interposed and the ungrammatical parts of the e-mails uncorrected) sums it up this way,

In one email from 2019, Epstein appeared to write to journalist Michael Wolff, “Of course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine [Maxwell] to stop.”

Stop what?  Stop abusing the girl?   Is this really the scandal they need?

In another email to Maxwell, Epstein’s girlfriend, who is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for sex trafficking, said, “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.

Barked about what?  They expect to get a scandal of a non-barking dog named Trump?  Really?  

[VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him, he has never once mentioned. police chief etc. I’m 75% there.

Not 100% there?  How will that stack up in court?  He (apparently, Trump) has not mentioned exactly what to “police chief”?  So not 100% there that Trump did not mention what to who?  A scandal?  Really?

 In another from 2015, Epstein asked Wolff what he should do if the media asks then-candidate Trump about their friendship. Wolff replied that Epstein should let Trump “hang himself.”

It’s just a shame that the email does not mention any specific crime in this speculated self-hanging.   Maybe they just expect Trump to “hang himself” by saying something stupid.  

            There is also the smear of Trump in an Epstein letter,

This Epstein Warning About Trump Should Chill You to Your Bones:  Jeffrey Epstein, the infamous child sex trafficker and former friend of President Trump, privately warned after Trump’s 2016 election victory that there was “not one decent cell in [Trump’s] bod … [I] have met some very bad people … none as bad as trump.

So, the Left is now believing convicted paedophiles who, as O’Reilly points out, hated Trump for kicking him out of Mar-a-Lago. Well, that makes as much sense as the Left generally does!  No surprise there.  It has not, apparently, occurred to these geniuses that paedophile Epstein had personal motives for smearing Trump.

That’s it. That’s all Democrats have.  But there is nothing even close to a crime or sexual indiscretion with young girls (let alone a coherent sentence) in those vague and sometimes ungrammatical e-mails.  As Monica Showalter (M.S. Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism) puts it, “Democrats reach again into the great pile of Epstein-files doo-doo and just can’t find their pony.  Democrats can be pretty embarrassing.”

Tune in to the CNN or MSNBC to watch these embarrassments every day. 

            One would have thought that having discredited themselves with all their prior hoaxes, the Trump-Russia-collusion hoax, the Trump-called-Mexicans-rapists-and-drug-traffickers hoax (note that Latino men did not seem to buy into this hoax in the 2024 election), the-Trump-admitted-to-grabbing-women-by-their-pussies hoax, the Trump-told-people-to-ingest-bleach-to-kill-the-Coronavirus hoax etc., etc., etc., which have only served to discredit the Democrats and their DPPC shills instead of discrediting Trump.  For a detailed dismantling of many of these silly hoaxes see my article here. 

            The real elephant in the room, that Democrats and the DPPC desperately do not want to discuss is that The Messiah’s “Affordable Health Care Act” has proved notoriously unaffordable.   When they shriek about the health care crisis, that health care is way too expensive in way too many ways, it does not appear to occur to them that the peasants can remember that “Obamacare” was supposed to solve all that.   It did not.  As Forbes (11/12/25) notes,

During the 2008 presidential campaign, then-Senator Barack Obama promised that his health reform plan would “lower your premiums by up to $2,500 per family per year.” But since his signature law, the Affordable Care Act, went into effect, premiums have nearly tripled, and deductibles have more than doubled. The cost of coverage for a family of four has increased by more than $10,000.

There are some obvious reasons for this.  The first, and most obvious, is that the Democrat’s beloved “Community organizer” didn’t know anything about health care.  He only knew about yelling through a megaphone about the oppression of the masses in order to rile people up to vote for him.  Unfortunately, as comrades Mandani and Ocasio Cortez should realize when they grow up, that does not mean one knows how, actually, to accomplish anything in this thing called “the real world”.

            If the Democrats really want to solve the health care crisis that they created, as opposed to getting themselves re-elected to stay on the D.C. gravy train that Nancy Pelosi, at the expense of the peasants, worked so profitably (estimated $278 million), they should admit that Messiah-care has not worked and agree to sit down with practical people (you know, that ever diminishing fragment of D.C. that live in the real world) and produce a practical bipartisan alternative.  Failing that, the Democrats should agree to fund Obamacare out of their own pockets.  After all, it was them who foisted this fraud on the American people.
