Greetings! New polling from Grayhouse asserts that 90% of Republican voters are supporting Israel’s military strikes against Iran. The firm specializes in measuring opinion among GOP voters. (Washington Free Beacon)...The American Conservative continues to be among the few right-wing media outlets critical of Donald Trump’s bombing of  Iran’s nuclear facilities.  Here’s the latest article...Dept. of Sticks & Stones: The Donald dropped a payload of nasty nicknames on journo bigwigs and legacy media giants who have questioned the Iran attack.  He called Anderson Cooper, “Allison,” a thinly veiled reference to the CNN star’s sexual orientation.  Comcast chairman Brian Roberts was labeled “dumb” and his company was dubbed “Con Cast.” ABC’s Jon Karl was renamed “Jonny Karl of ABC Fake News.”  The trio of Cooper, Roberts and Karl were all anointed as “losers.”  The Gateway Pundit has the dirty details of Trump’s latest schoolyard name calling....Also, this morning the foul-mouthed POTUS dropped an F-bomb while speaking to reporters before boarding a flight to a NATO summit. Israel and Iran, he said, “don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing,” he snorted. Keep it classy, Mr. President.
