Unless you've been living in a spider hole, you've undoubtedly heard the latest media outcry over a comment by President Donald Trump related by Democrat Illinois Senator Dick Durbin after Trump met with him and other senate leaders over immigration reform.  He is alleged to have used "hate-filled, vile and racist" language when talking about immigrants from Haiti and Africa.

Durbin told the media he was the lone Democrat among about a dozen lawmakers in the meeting with Trump to pitch a tentative compromise on immigration.  “When we talked about those in the United States on temporary protected status, there was a comment they were from El Salvador, Honduras and Haiti,” Durbin said. “ ‘Haitians?’ (Trump) said. ‘We don’t need more Haitians.’ ”

“Then we went on and the president started commenting on immigration from Africa,” Durbin said. “And that’s when he used those sickening, heartbreaking remarks, saying ‘Those shitholes send us the people they don’t want.’ He repeated that. He didn’t just say it one time.”

Others who were at the meeting dispute the way Durbin represented what President Trump said, including Trump, and Senators Tom Cotton and David Perdue. Perdue earlier today alluded to a 2013 back-and-forth in which Durbin said a Republican member of Congress made a rude remark to then-President Barack Obama, only to have the White House deny the remark happened, and an official attribute it in part to a "miscommunication" between the White House and Senate Democrats.  

Back in 2012, The Ludington Torch reported Senator Durbin had offered grossly inaccurate science data and conclusions in order to shut down Ludington's SS Badger.  The next year, he grossly fudged the numbers to make it seems as if the SS Badger would fill Lake Michigan and Wrigley Field with coal ash.  The mass media dutifully reported both Durbin's science and math without comment to their gross inaccuracy.

But even if we were to believe Dick Durbin fairly accurately paraphrased the president, what is the big deal that made the mainstream media say the "s-hole" word over and over again as if they were little kids just discovering a bad word and ascribing racism to the person who reportedly uttered it?

The meaning of the term "s-hole" as defined by on-line dictionaries is "an extremely dirty, shabby, or otherwise unpleasant place."  This accurately describes what the United Nations would classify as a "Least Developed Country" which exhibits the lowest indicators of socioeconomic development, with the lowest Human Development Index ratings of all countries in the world.  Two-thirds of the LDCs are in Africa.  The only LDC in the Americas is, you guessed it, Haiti.  As far as countries go, the UN would declare these countries 's-holes' if they were frank and earnest.

  

And lest we recall Barrack Obama in his legacy building year of 2016, interviewed with The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg and was said to have routinely uttered the term "shitshow" to refer to the situation in Libya (that's an African nation if you didn't know).  

One might think the rest of the media made a big deal about that, after all the word was likely recorded on Goldberg's audio files.  But that article on the Obama Doctrine had only one comment made in response by the readers as of this publication, made two years ago without any kind of negative feedback on the curse word by the president or the "s-show" reference to an African nation by one who is half-white.  There was zero outrage by the press, even the conservative press and politicians; you probably would be lying if you said you recalled it.

President Donald Trump is accused by a partisan with a solid history of getting the facts out wrong for using a phrase in a closed meeting that was candid and straightforwardly accurate about the vast difference of the cultural, political, and socioeconomic conditions of those countries with ours.  The media and Democrat politicians give a free pass to Obama calling what was happening in Libya (which is not in the LDC list) another vulgar term implying that drunkenness and partying may have been the cause of the unrest.  For some reason, one is treated totally differently by the media-- and a lot of politicians with an agenda of derailing immigration reform.

I agree with Trump that these countries are s-hole countries that when their people come here , we the tax payers have to support them.  Also,  would seem to me in a closed meeting of our highest Government officials that it would be a tight lipped session. Anything that would be released to media would be by the President. Senator  Durbin should be reprimanded  not praised. Talk about leaking information, this guy's a sieve.

What still amazes me is the foolish and ignorant people who believe what the mainstream media tells them. They make no effort to seek the truth. Trump said it correctly when he called those countries "sh_tholes". He did however leave out naming the biggest "sh_thole" of all and that being the U.S. Congress and the Deep State. One of the most outrageous claims made is that no President has ever used such language in the white House.

Beware, those that have sesitive ears.

Well and accurately stated guys, and thanks for the reminder videos too Willy, but, most don't care about truths and our history, even when it's recorded, just the mainstream media rants that never end on this leader.

Nothing more than a diversion during an election year by the shithead Democrats and their media cohorts to deflect attention from their own corruption.
