I want free stuff Democrat

Worldview is a very big deal: each of us has a worldview, the lens through which we see the world. Our parents and grandparents, our teachers, our friends — they all contribute to the formation of our worldview.

As for me, I had conservative parents who taught me to think critically at a very young age. I had conservative, immigrant grandparents, teaching me to work hard and well from a young age. And on my own, I discovered the wonderful radio broadcasts of some fellow that made terrific sense. Mom caught me in my room, at age ten, listening and laughing at his great humor and wisdom.

Mom asked, “Tami, who in the world are you listening to?’

I responded with a smile, “Mom, this is some guy name Ronald Reagan and he’s GREAT! You guys would like him!”

Mom and Dad both laughed at that. Dad slapped me on the back and said, “That’s my girl!” 

So you’ll excuse me for saying this, but I have no time for whiny babies with a big case of victim mentality who want lots of stuff without lots of hard work. Case in point. When I was a junior in college, and a French major, I was nearly fluent and the Dean of the French department told my father that IF I could live in Paris for three months I would be indiscernible from a native speaker. I promptly asked Dad if I could study in Paris for a term.

Dad’s answer?

“Are you NUTS?! Your mother and I don’t go to France and I have a job and make good money. You need to finish school, get a job, and earn your own way to Europe.”

That was a glass of cold water on my plans, a dose of reality. I did manage to go to Guatemala as an interpreter for a short term mission: that trip only cost the folks $100 and I was doing some good.

But these young Lefties who decry Capitalism and whimper “Boo hoo! Capitalism is EVIL!! And don’t let any of those nasty conservatives near me and … oh wait. I’ll rant more after I recharge my iPhone at Starbucks” — I have zero patience for that.

The Dems are mostly big proponents of zero population growth — old Al Gore has convinced everyone we are the enemy of the planet. Consequently, Lefties are not breeding enough to replace their electorate.

What to do?

First make sure the Gen-X and Gen-Z and Millennials are brainwashed with government school propaganda, which is essentially radical social experimentation and has nothing whatsoever to do with a classical education. Second, import an electorate, and what better group than any and all illegal aliens, preferably illegals who do not speak English and will readily believe every lie The Left tells them.

What we all know is that rewarded behavior is repeated, punished behavior typically is discontinued.

People that make it to America by any means possible — any means but legal channels that is — are quickly snatched up by Leftie do-gooders and told, in their language, where to find food and shelter, how to keep getting free food, free phones, free health care.

Dad used to tell me, “It’s a sin to give someone something for nothing.” Oh, he didn’t mean that we would never have birthday or Christmas presents, though even those were reasonable and modest. My father meant that it was wrong to have, or to foster in others, an entitlement mentality.

I tell folks, “God’s grace is free, everything else you better work hard for!”

So when I see a meme like this it brings all these emotions back, flooding my mind.

I’m not a violent person (though I am trained and do conceal carry, so don’t test that theory), but I just want to slap the person who has nothing good to say about my beloved country, America, and then turns around and moans and groans and wants more free stuff. These idiots have no understanding of basic economics: there is NO FREE STUFF! Someone always pays.

What they mean is, “I want free stuff. Let someone else pay.”

And that, my dear friends, is immoral. That’s also the Democrat mantra. Here in the United States of America we are all free to work hard and better ourselves. We LEGAL citizens are constitutionally guaranteed the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Beyond that? Get off your backside and work and stop complaining. #NoFreeStuff

Leftists are absolutely fawning over the North Korean ‘cheerleaders’. But what they find entertaining — we find downright terrifying. Check it out…

The Media (D) has been filled with moral grandstanding journalists praising the despotic North Korean regime because they made a half-hearted attempt at diplomacy with South Korea conveniently timed near the Olympics in Pyeongchang.

Nevermind that North Korea could be doing this for several reasons:

  • Visible propaganda on the world stage
  • Cashing in on the anti-Trump sentiment
  • The sanctions imposed at the insistence of President Trump are finally hurting them
  • President Trump’s tough language (and his tweets) to Little Rocket Man have terrified and humiliated the continually posturing regime

But do you think they’re going to report on that? Nah.

It’s much more important to focus on the cutesy ‘cheerleaders’ with their synchronized dance moves.

They’re the early breakout hit of the Winter Olympics, a singing, clapping — and perfectly matching — troupe of red-clad North Korean cheerleaders who march to their own kind of drummer.

Watch them in action, and it’s hard to turn away for reasons that are somewhat hard to explain. See them steal the show like they did in the unified Korean hockey game Saturday night and it’s easy to understand why they outnumber North Korean athletes 10-1 at these games.

More than 200 of them sang and smiled all night long, carrying the show long after the game was decided. Then, for good measure, they kept on going for 15 minutes after it was over before finally marching off in two perfectly formed long lines.

Nope, that’s not creepy. Just watch them as they file out:

Ok, so those are Stormtroopers, but it’s probably not far off.

Campy, yes. For many observers from outside North Korea, it’s kind of creepy, too.

The fact remains that behind the smiles they represent a totalitarian state that is trying to produce nuclear weapons as well as it produces synchronized spectacles. Their routines are for the glory of dictator Kim Jong Un or one of his predecessors, even if some of their songs have been modified so to not offend at the Olympics.

Watch:

Ummm…. I don’t know about you, but that freaky choreographed display makes me think of this scene from Shrek:

Many on Twitter also criticized the troupe as pure propaganda for a dictator, and wondered if they were coerced into performing.

Kim runs a ruthless regime, but the women who make up the cheerleading squad — Kim’s wife is herself a former member — are reportedly mostly the daughters of the elite upper class who are often college students selected for their looks, musical skills and family standing. They sometimes give full musical performances with clarinets and other instruments, and often use props in their choreographed cheers.

“Women with family members missing or living abroad do not qualify, as they could pose potential flight risks,” the Korea Herald reported.

The women cheered for 2 hours with smiles pasted on their faces. Sounds like they were having a blast! (Oh, that’s probably not the best phrase to use in connection with North Korea.)

This journalist did note that it was hard to tell if the cheerleaders were actually having fun.

It was all in good fun, at least on the part of the spectators. Whether the cheerleaders were having any fun was hard to figure out since their smiles seemed frozen on their faces and their expressions never changed.

In dictatorships like North Korea, the girl with the least authentic smile is shot first — or sent to work in the horrific forced-labor camp. But the Media (D) must have forgotten about that.

Their brother – the one little rocket man murdered with nerve gas — was not available for comment. If Stalin were alive today, our guess is that CNN would pick his side over Trump. They’re not even TRYING to hide it anymore.

Before we go further, we may want to remember just who we are talking about. This isn’t some Mugabe-level tinpot dictator. North Korea is a whole other level.

His country is the world’s largest prison camp, which an Auschwitz survior (and judge on the International Court of Justice) has described as ‘WORSE’ than Nazi Germany.

Not only did Kim Jong Un kill his brother with Nerve Gas in an Airport in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, but he killed his Uncle, too. He’s also been known to shoot those who displease him with anti-aircraft guns.

Kim Jong-un had 11 musicians executed with anti-aircraft guns and orders aides to pick out sex slaves from North Korea’s schools, a defector has claimed.
…They were lashed to the end of anti-aircraft guns. Their bodies were blown to bits, totally destroyed, blood and bits flying everywhere.
“And then after that military tanks moved in and they ran over the bits on the ground where the remains lay.”
Source: Independent

THAT is who we are dealing with. And the Media(D) STILL loathe Trump (and in this case, his proxy, Pence) so bitterly that they cannot help but praise his sister… who may have run things briefly while he was ill some years ago.

Here’s what they said about his sister:

If “diplomatic dance” were an event at the Winter Olympics, Kim Jong Un’s younger sister would be favored to win gold.

With a smile, a handshake and a warm message in South Korea’s presidential guest book, Kim Yo Jong has struck a chord with the public just one day into the PyeongChang Games.

Riiiiight. And ‘maybe Mousellini had a great sense of humor — when you really got to know him’.

Nope. We’re not buying what you’re shoveling.

And neither were ‘the interwebz’.

He wasn’t done calling out the media in their fawning over dictators.

Brit Hume’s reaction was a lot like ours:

And rounding out the Stalin and Moussilini references…

Ouch.

Good thing they’re the ‘most trusted name in news’ or people might start to suspect there’s something a little bit ‘Pravda-ish’ about these guys.

These people are unbelievable. They stormed a prayer rally. Let that sink in.

They also burned the American flag in their anti-prayer protest.

Joey Gibson leader of the group Patriot Prayer held a prayer rally at the University of Washington and spoke about unity. The protesters showed up and got rowdy. [Editor’s note: I refuse to call them ‘counter-protesters’ as the Media (D) does because this was a prayer rally, not a protest.]

When the protesters got aggressive, law enforcement officers stepped in and did their job.

Five people were arrested when counter-protesters took over a Republican rally at the University of Washington where dissenters burned the American flag as they booed the Trump administration.

The clash broke out after campus group the College Republicans invited right-learning group the Patriot Prayer to speak on Saturday.

In retaliation hundreds of students and demonstrators, gathered to oppose the Trump supporting rally.

Those that attended the rally wore MAGA hats and proudly displayed the flag. The other side, eh, not so much.

Here is what is left of a flag that was shredded and burned in protest:

Watch what they were protesting:

College Republicans President Chevy Swanson said the goal of the rally was to create a safe space for conservatives to share their views and promote free speech.   

What? The left doesn’t want ‘safe spaces’ anymore?

About 75 minutes after the rally, counter-protesters began to flood in, despite police barricades.

Although the College Republicans had worked with police to prepare for the day, security was unprepared to deal with the hundreds that marched through the square.

The dissenters marched in with signs saying ‘Trump and Pence must go’ and ‘Trump is the symptom, Capitalism is the disease, Revolution is the cure’ and ‘Resist’.

‘We’re here to fight back against the far right and fascism on our campus,’ one speaker of the counter-protest said.

Scuttles broke out between the two groups, causing campus police to use pepper spray and arrest five counter-protesters.

You might remember Joey Gibson, the Japanese man (whose bodyguard, ‘Tiny’, is Samoan) that tried to shake hands with Antifa protesters. He is constantly called a white supremacist and a neo-Nazi by the left — including Nancy Pelosi.

Here is an image of Gibson speaking at a rally. He looks like a threat, doesn’t he?

But leftists are terrified of Gibson and his Patriot Prayer group because they really believe that they are Neo-Nazis.

One student shared he was upset to see how many of his peers showed up for the Patriot Prayer speech.

‘I refuse to be scared away by Neo-Nazis. This is where I live and work and where my friends live and work, and I’m not going to leave,’ Junior Nick Peda said.

‘The College Republicans keep pulling this stuff and I’m tired of it. It’s really disappointing to see so many of my classmates on the other side,’ he added.

Source: Daily Mail

Conservative college groups are being billed for security because leftists go nuts and get violent when someone disagrees with them. Is that fair? Shouldn’t the protesters bear that cost? After all, they’re the ones causing the problems.

Watch Joey Gibson’s sensible full speech here:

Wow. Gotta stand up to that kind of hate, amirite?

Leftists are so nutty.

This week President Donald Trump proposed the US should host a military parade in 2018. With a knee-jerk reaction, Democrats immediately condemned the move.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) said, “I think confidence is silent and insecurity is loud. America is the most powerful country in all of human history; you don’t need to show it off.”

Rep. Adam Smith (D-CA) commented, “A military parade of this kind would also be a departure from the values of our constitutional democracy.”

Finally, Reps. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) and Ted Lieu (D-CA) jointly observed, “Because authoritarian regimes like Russia and North Korea hold massive military parades does not mean that we must as well.”

Despite these leaders’ claim of flashy authoritarianism, military parades have been held in the United States since 1865. These included the show of tanks, missiles, and hundreds of thousands of troops; all occurring in the years 1919, 1942, 1946, 1953, 1957, 1961, and 1991.

The ironic thing is that military parades were often an issue that held bipartisan support. Back in 2014, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (NY) voiced his support for a military parade on American soil.

New York’s Mayor, Bill de Blasio, backed Schumer’s idea stating, “The brave men and women who have selflessly served our nation with courage and skill in Iraq and Afghanistan deserve a recognition for their sacrifice. I stand with Sen. Schumer in his call for a parade to honor our veteran heroes, and New York City would be proud to host this important event.”

Holding a liberal to their word is hard to do though, especially if they’re a politician. So, as more leftists continue to preach that military parades are against American history and how terrible the Trump White House is for proposing such an idea, let this video be a reminder as to how two-faced the Democrats can be.

Talk about an extreme case of political correctness.

Sorry, but if your religion requires you to fast what business is it of anyone else?

Why should other people have to suffer because you are?

In this case one school decided to ‘show respect’ by not drinking water in front of the fasting students.

However, it seems at least one of the teachers took it too far.

An angry mother has accused a primary school of denying her child water on one of the hottest days of the year for fear of upsetting pupils observing Ramadan.

Kora Blagden, 32, claimed a teacher at her son Luke’s school refused to let the 10-year old drink from his water bottle because it was unfair to fasting classmates.

Many pupils at Charles Dickens Primary School, Portsmouth, Hampshire, are fasting during Ramadan, which means they refrain from taking food or water between sunrise and sunset for around 30 days, depending on the moon.

Kora said: ‘Just before bedtime me and my sons Luke, ten, and Alfie, eight, were talking about Ramadan as we had seen it on the news. Luke said to me he was told he wasn’t allowed to drink in class by his teacher.

‘The reason being, a child who is fasting had a headache and the teacher said it would be unfair if the other children drank in front of the pupil.

‘They normally have their bottles on their table but they were kept in a tray by the teacher. He went along with it but he was thirsty and didn’t want to offend the other children. Alfie said he was allowed to drink in the morning but not in the afternoon.

‘Luke was dehydrated when he got home and drunk three glasses of water straight away.’

Since then the school has apologized and a teacher, student, parent meeting was set up.

It is one thing to be courteous to people, it is another thing to make someone suffer for someone else’s beliefs.

Should schools go to such extreme measures to not offend Muslim students?

Or should the Muslims be able to adapt in the western world?

Pelosi Talking Points

Pelosi does an 8-hour speech on the house floor in favor of Amnesty but who will feel the pain.

Pelosi 8 Hour SpeechPolitical Cartoon by A.F. Branco ©2018.

Commentary by Ann Coulter  

If you’ve been watching MSNBC and, consequently, have no idea what was in the CONTROVERSIAL! DISPUTED! AMATEURISH! memo released by the House Intelligence Committee (the “Nunes memo”), here is a brief summary:

  • The Hillary Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee paid a Trump-hating British private eye, Christopher Steele, to produce a “dossier” on Trump, relying on Russian sources. 
  • The Department of Justice used the unverified dossier to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant against Carter Page, an alleged “foreign policy adviser” to Donald Trump and the last frayed thread of the Russian collusion story. The FISA court was not told who had paid Steele to create the “salacious and unverified” dossier — in the words of the showboating former FBI Director James Comey — much less about Steele’s personal hatred of Trump.

After 18 months of steely-eyed investigation, the only parts of the dossier that have been “confirmed” are bland factual statements — Moscow is a city in Russia — while the untrue parts are anything having to do with Trump or his associates.

As New York Times national security reporter Matthew Rosenberg explained to MSNBC’s easily excited Chris Hayes last March:

“Both journalists and others who had copies of it for a long time have not been able to report much of it out. We’ve heard that, you know, the FBI and the Intelligence Community believe about 30 percent of it may be accurate, but most of that 30 percent, if not all, has been non-Trump stuff.”

Four points:

1. The only reason the hapless Carter Page was mentioned by Trump as a “foreign policy adviser” during the campaign was that the media and “foreign policy community” (FPC) threatened to excommunicate any FPC types who went near Trump, the better to laugh at him for having no decent foreign policy advisers.

Danielle Pletka, with the “conservative” American Enterprise Institute, expressed the FPC’s disdain, telling the Times: “It’s always surprising when a member of our relatively tightly knit community is willing to sacrifice their reputation to stand with someone like Donald Trump.”

This is standard procedure for the left, akin to how they treat black Republicans. Step One: Viciously attack any black person who works for a Republican. Step Two: Mock the GOP for being all white.

Their slanders against Trump worked! No one from the FPC would associate with him, so in a moment of desperation, Trump read five names off a list, including Page’s, during an interview with The Washington Post.

The New York Times, the next day:

“Top Experts Confounded by Advisers to Trump …

“… the Republican foreign policy establishment looked at them and had a pretty universal reaction: Who?

“… even Google offered little but outdated biographies of Mr. Trump’s new cast of experts …

“… None have spoken to their new boss.”

This has led to an inane media narrative, with Page being simultaneously portrayed as an all-powerful spy of Kim Philby proportions — but also a laughable nobody. Or, as a Russian spy described him in an intercepted conversation back in 2013: “An idiot.”

2. No one ever checks anything in Hollywood. You could go around claiming to have written “Gone With the Wind,” and you’ll never be busted.

It’s the same in Washington, D.C., only worse. Contrary to the self-admiring cliche about Washington being a city that runs on power, almost no one in D.C. has any real power, so it’s a city that runs on suck-uppery and B.S. I personally know of five people who claim to be advising the president, who aren’t, and I don’t get out much. That’s why Page won’t just come out and say: DONALD TRUMP HAS NO EARTHLY IDEA WHO I AM.

3. The use of the federal government’s spying powers against an American citizen is yet another problem of unrestricted, unvetted immigration.

The only reason the FOREIGN Intelligence Surveillance Act can be used against American citizens in the first place is that we have all these “American citizens,” like Omar Mateen (Pulse nightclub), Syed Farook (San Bernardino), Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (Boston Marathon), and Abdulrahman al-Awlaki (killed by Obama drone strike in Yemen).

Maybe like California’s new “Real” I.D. cards — required by the federal government because the state gives driver’s licenses to illegals — we could start distinguishing “American Citizens” from “Real American Citizens.”

Because of this confusion, the FISA court that was supposed to be used against terrorists and spies is instead being used against Trump supporters. Here’s Malcolm Nance, terrorism analyst, smugly warning Page back in March 2017 on MSNBC:

“I have a message for him, all right? U.S. intelligence is not going to be coming at him like a lawyer, right? We will turn on the entire power of the U.S. collection system. And if he is lying, it is going to become very well-known very quickly. … If there’s a FISA warrant out there … we have the ability to collect anything on him, including all of his finances and every relationship he has with anybody in this world.”

If only the federal government were as gung-ho about spying on terrorists as it is to spy on Page, the FBI might not be a complete laughingstock right now. (My late father, an FBI agent, is rolling in his grave.)

The FBI will still miss the next 9/11, but at least no one is going to forget to file with the Foreign Agents Registration Act anytime soon.

4. Rep. Trey Gowdy recently defended the Mueller investigation in a clip that has now aired on TV more times than “The Shawshank Redemption.” According to Gowdy, the House Intelligence memo has nothing to do with Robert Mueller’s investigation because he’s just looking into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.

With all due respect to Gowdy, that’s not what Mueller is investigating.

The letter from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointing Mueller expressly directs him to investigate “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump.”

Since it has appeared for quite some time now that there is no collusion, the only thing left for Mueller to investigate is Trump’s “obstruction of justice,” i.e. Trump being pissed off that his time is being wasted.

But without evidence of Trump colluding with the Russians, no independent counsel should have been appointed in the first place. The Department of Justice already has more than 10,000 lawyers. Why pay another dozen to look into foreign interference in our elections unless the president is implicated and can’t investigate himself?

The reason Rosenstein appointed Mueller was that he believed the “salacious and unverified” dossier. We know that because Rosenstein personally signed one of the FISA warrant applications based on the dossier — backed up by a Yahoo article, which was also based on the dossier.

A cabal of anti-Trump fanatics cooked up the Russia collusion story, and don’t-rock-the-boat bureaucrats went along with it, so we now have a behemoth investigative monster chasing unicorns.


Comey’s Response

comet's responseThe Devin Nunes memo released last Friday described an FBI application to the FISA court. The FBI was seeking permission to spy on Carter Page, a low level Trump advisor with Russian contacts. The application included the infamous Christoper Steele Trump dossier.

That would be the same dossier that former FBI Director Comey said contained “salacious and unverified” information. Not only that, the Clinton campaign funded the thing and possibly contributed information to it.

Comey’s response when he read the memo – That’s it?

A California judge ruled Monday the state couldn’t force a cake shop owner to bake a cake for a gay couple’s wedding, ruling that doing so would constitute a violation of free speech.

Superior Court Judge David Lampe denied the State of California’s request for a preliminary injunction that sought to force bakeshop owner Cathy Miller to design a wedding cake for a gay couple.

“For this court to force such compliance would do violence to the essentials of Free Speech guaranteed under the First Amendment,” Lampe ruled, according to a press release sent to The Daily Caller News Foundation. The injunction also posited that if Miller refused to design the cake, the state would force her to close her Tastries Bakery shop altogether.

“We are pleased that the judge recognized that the First Amendment protects Cathy’s freedom of speech,” chief counsel and Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund (FCDF) president, Charles LiMandri, said after the ruling, the press release reports. LiMandri argued in Friday’s court hearing that Miller doesn’t discriminate against same-sex couples, but refuses to use her artistic talents to express a message that conflicts with her religious beliefs about marriage. 

The ruling comes after two women asked Miller to design their wedding cake and filed a complaint with the state, alleging that Miller discriminated against them on the basis of sexual orientation. They also posted about the event on social media. Following their complaint, the state launched an investigation and sought a court order to force Miller to bake their wedding cake.

“This is a significant victory for faith and freedom because the judge indicated in his ruling that the State cannot succeed in this case as a matter of law,” LiMandri said. “No doubt the California officials will continue their persecution of Cathy, but it is clear that she has the Constitution on her side.”

The cake baking incident comes after the Supreme Court announced in June that it would hear a similar case that occurred in 2012, when a baker in Denver refused to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple. Lower courts had previously ruled that Jack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop had violated the state’s accommodation laws by refusing to serve a customer based on sexual orientation, according to The Washington Post.

Reported by Saagar Enjeti | White House Correspondent | 12:17 PM 02/06/2018

Democratic lawmakers’ rebuttal memo to their Republican counterparts includes references to “sources and methods” that need to be redacted, Fox News reports.

Lawmakers of the House intelligence committee voted to declassify the Democratic memo late Monday, giving President Donald Trump five days to conduct a national security review of the document. This national security review will include a review of sources and methods which officials say must be withheld from the public for intelligence concerns.

The memo was compiled in response to its Republican counterpart who released a memo that alleges broad abuse of FISA authority by top officials in the Department of Justice and the FBI. Democratic lawmaker Adam Schiff, who played a key role in compiling the document, said he fears “political redactions” from the White House during the intelligence review. 

Fox News, however, reports that information was specifically put into the document in order to force the White House’s hand and play into a narrative of obfuscation.

The Republican memo — compiled by House Intel chairman Devin Nunes and other Republicans on the committee — found that the FBI and the Department of Justice did not disclose the political origins of the Steele dossier in its FISA application on Trump campaign associate Carter Page and revealed previously undisclosed testimony from former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe that an investigation into Page would not have occurred without the dossier.

Democrats complained that releasing the Republican memo would damage national security by revealing FBI sources and methods, though it did no such thing.

Reported by Kathryn Blackhurst | Updated 07 Feb 2018 at 6:57 AM

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) said Tuesday on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” that former President Barack Obama’s State Department “was gathering information” on Donald Trump, his campaign and Russia in 2016 before “passing it to very strange places.”

Nunes — who is chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence — told host Laura Ingraham the committee’s investigation of allegations of Trump-Russia collusion includes three phases.

  • The first is the panel’s probe of surveillance abuse against Trump campaign volunteers by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI.
  • The second phase is a review of “irregularities” at the State Department,
  • and the third will be interviewing “the cast of characters.”

Phase one culminated with the release of a four-page summary memo, prepared by Nunes’ staff, describing the surveillance abuses. Those abuses were enabled by a dossier prepared by former British spy Christopher Steele and paid for by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign committee.

Nunes said the second phase is now moving forward.

“I can just tell you that the State Department was gathering information and then passing it to very strange places. That should not have happened,” Nunes told Ingraham, noting he could not divulge more information at that time.

“I will just say that there were comments over the weekend from people within the State Department that said [former Secretary of State] John Kerry had been briefed on the [Trump-Russia] dossier, that they had provided the new dossier, whatever this new dossier is, and they had provided it also to the FBI,” Nunes said.

“So, by people starting to talk about it, it seems to me like some people may be trying to distance themselves from the rest of the cast of characters involved,” he added. 

Nunes’ comments came after Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) released a highly redacted copy of the criminal referral they sent to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein recommending the potential prosecution of Steele. Wray made public a less-redacted version of the referral late Tuesday.

“It is a vindication of what we’ve been dealing with for the last five days, where we have been scolded that the dossier really played no part at all in the [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA] application. So clearly that’s not the case,” Nunes said of the referral.

Grassley and Graham’s referral revealed that Clinton campaign aides and former Obama appointees fed material to Steele as he compiled the dossier. The anti-Trump dossier was used by the FBI and DOJ to obtain warrants from the FISA court allowing the government to spy on Trump associates.

“Sadly, the mainstream media continues to ignore this. Even tonight I was looking. No one’s covering this,” Nunes said of Grassley and Graham’s referral, noting that “it’s pretty clear now you have the Clinton campaign, who was getting information from the Russians, dirt on Trump.”

Former U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Joseph diGenova also told Ingraham Tuesday that the Grassley-Graham memo “establishes beyond any doubt that the FBI knowingly deceived the FISA court about the information that it was presenting to them.”

DiGenova accused the FBI and DOJ of lying to the FISA court “about the fact that it was verified information — which it was not, which the law requires.”

“And now we know that additional Clinton allies, including Sidney Blumenthal, were involved in the transmission of false information, unverified information, to the FBI through State Department officials,” diGenova said. “Somebody’s gonna have to go to prison.”

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) implied Tuesday on Fox News’ “The Story” that Blumenthal fed a former State Department employee information used for Steele’s unverified Trump-Russia dossier.

If Clinton lost the election, then the FBI and DOJ sought “to frame Donald Trump and his associates with a false crime,” diGenova claimed.

“There is now no doubt whatsoever that the lawyers at the FBI and the lawyers at the Justice Department deceived, deceived FISA court knowingly,” diGenova said. “They had every reason in the world to believe that the information being provided was not only biased but completely unreliable. They didn’t care.

The FBI and DOJ “wanted the wiretaps, the intercepts and the electronic surveillance” because it was part of their “plan” to “exonerate” Clinton during the course of the investigation into her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state, diGenova said. If Clinton lost the election, then the FBI and DOJ sought “to frame Donald Trump and his associates with a false crime,” diGenova claimed.

“And they almost succeeded,” diGenova said. “And if she had won, they would have succeeded.”

Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call

An important player in multiple high-level investigations which have dominated national headlines is about to go from being relatively unknown to becoming a household name – his name is Michael Horowitz.

Horowitz is the inspector general at the Department of Justice and is heavily involved in the Russia investigation and the investigation into how the FBI handled the criminal investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton – a report expected to come out in the next couple months.

The Hill reports:

A political appointee in both the Bush and Obama administrations, Horowitz’s yearlong investigation already reportedly contributed to the early resignation of Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe. And his work has been felt in other ways.

Horowitz also uncovered a series of text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page that led special counsel Robert Mueller to remove Strzok from his team. Those texts have fueled accusations among GOP lawmakers that Mueller’s probe is tainted by partisanship.

Those who know Horowitz portray him as an independent voice.

Bill Hamel, former inspector general for investigations at the Department of Education, heaped praise on Horowitz for his character.

“He is really one of the smartest and fairest people I have ever had the pleasure to work with,” Hamel said. “He’s a straight shooter and a fair guy. He’s an honest broker.”

“They have to be independent to do that job,” Hamel continued. “They can’t be swayed by political issues.”

 

Reported By V Saxena | February 6, 2018 at 11:55am

URL of the original posting site: https://conservativetribune.com/drone-capable-of-bombing-jet/

A horrifying video that emerged online shows a drone hovering within only feet of an airplane reportedly landing at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas. Shot by an unknown drone pilot, the video specifically depicts “the drone taking off from what looks to be the parking lot at Whitney Ranch near 95 and Russell, then flying dangerously close to a Frontier passenger plane heading to land at McCarran Airport,” according to local station KTNV.

Not only is this a potential violation of the Federal Aviation Administration’s rules for drones, which limit drones to a maximum height of 400 feet, but it’s also a possible sign of what’s to come in regard to the future of radical Islamic terrorism. But we’ll get to that a bit later.

First, watch the video below:

Dovetailing back to the FAA, local station KLAS noted that “a drone pilot who flies unsafely could face fines from of up to $1,437 per violation, while businesses that fly unsafely can face fines of up to $32,666 per violation.”

“On top of that, people who fly drones unsafely can face federal criminal penalties including fines of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment for up to three year,” the station added.

Why all the hubbub? Because of the catastrophic consequences the pilot’s birdbrained actions could have conceivably triggered.

“You know, if he was to hit the plane or there were any transmission signals that could interfere with that plane, he could honestly jam something in the plane, anything could happen,” explained drone expert Steven Williams of Alpha Drone in a statement to KTNV.

If the FAA manages to track down the drone’s pilot, I therefore recommend hitting him or her with as large of a fine as possible.

In the meantime, both the FAA and the Department of Homeland Security need to determine a way to prevent this from ever happening again, and a report published in Fast Forward magazine last year offers a clue why:

“The possibility of terrorists using drones to drop explosives or even unleash biological attacks on U.S. soil is a growing threat, Nicholas Rasmussen, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, told a Senate panel Wednesday.”

But as is now obvious from the horrifying drone footage above, the threat isn’t just of “terrorists using drones to drop explosives” on land; it’s also of terrorists using drones to drop explosives (or whatever else) on airplanes.

Can you imagine the terror that could be caused by this?

Let’s be clear: This is a big, big problem, and one that the administration of President Donald Trump needs to resolve sooner rather than later.

Knowing Trump, though, I’m sure the administration will indeed resolve it.

Reported By Cillian Zeal | February 5, 2018 at 7:23am

URL of the original posting site: https://conservativetribune.com/dems-lose-it-tweet/

A misleading tweet from a reporter had Democrats and liberals on social media up in arms recently after it announced that a military veteran was being deported to Mexico. However, what the tweet left out was that the man had been drummed out of the military for a drug infraction, that he had served a lengthy prison term after giving drugs to an undercover officer — and that the deportation order had been issued under the Obama administration.

In a tweet last week, a member of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists posted the sad “travesty” of Miguel Perez:

It didn’t take the left long to pounce and take up the Chicago resident’s case.

Even the Democrats on the House Veterans Affairs Committee got in on the Trump-bashing action, arguing that no veteran should ever be deported:

Heartbreaking, until you consider what Mr. Woodman left out. And, according to the Washington Free Beacon, that’s a great deal.

First, Perez was given a general discharge from the Army on a drug infraction. In 2008, after his military service, according to the Chicago Tribune, he “handed a laptop case containing cocaine to an undercover officer and ended up being sentenced to 15 years in jail.

Perez, 39, was born in Mexico and came to the United States when his father moved the family to Chicago because of a job offer, according to CNN. He is currently on a hunger strike as he faces deportation. He says he mistakenly thought he became a U.S. citizen when he took an oath to defend the United States while in the military. He also contends his military superiors did not help him understand just what he needed to do in order to become a citizen.

After he was released from prison in September 2016, he was placed into the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and ordered deported. This, you may note, happened under the waning months of the Obama administration, which had every opportunity to make sure Perez stayed in the country. It did not.

“Perez’s attorney Chris Bergin said he has filed a stay on two grounds,” the Chicago Tribune reported. “One is based on a medical evaluation finding that Perez needs immediate attention for PTSD and his brain injury. The other seeks retroactive citizenship for Perez to when he joined the military in 2001.”

Perez has previously argued that veterans with combat experience are targeted by drug cartels in Mexico to work for them, although a three-judge panel on the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected that argument in late January.

While Perez may have served this country, the fact is that he is being deported for a reason: He is not an American citizen, and he committed a serious crime.

Courts under both the Obama and Trump administrations have upheld his conviction, and if the Democrats had wanted to do anything about it, they certainly had a president who could have done just that. He chose not to, likely for good reason.

To drop this on the Trump administration is the height of deceptiveness. If liberals want to look at who’s really responsible for deciding this, they ought to look at someone else from Chicago: former President Obama.

Jackson, 26, had stopped to help Jeffrey Monroe, 54, who had pulled over because of illness.  

Jackson and Monroe, of Avon, Indiana, were standing near a stopped vehicle when Manuel Orrego-Savala’s pickup truck drove onto the emergency shoulder and struck and killed them both, according to The Indianapolis Star. Orrego-Savala was arrested and taken to the Marion County jail, where he gave police a false name.

Police and media soon discovered Orrego-Savala was a Guatemalan national who had been deported before. He is being held in a local jail, and a hold has been placed on him so he can be picked up by federal agents.

“Orrego-Savala is in the United States illegally and has previously been deported on two occasions, in 2007 and again in 2009,” said Indiana State Police Sgt. John Perrine in a statement. “State police investigators are working with U.S. federal immigration officials and they have placed a hold on Orrego-Savala.”

The deaths of Jackson and Monroe are bound to give new attention to some Indiana Democrats’ efforts to make various cities “sanctuaries” from federal immigration laws. Last February, Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett stopped short of saying he supports making the Indiana capital a “sanctuary city” that does not cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Hogsett agreed in 2017 to work with activist groups and the Indianapolis City-County Council to pass a resolution that Indianapolis will not comply with any law a court has determined to be discriminatory or unconstitutional. But Hogsett declined to name the city a sanctuary from federal immigration laws.

Last December, the city of Gary, Indiana, was sued by conservative attorney James Bopp for declaring itself a “welcoming city that may ignore ICE requests to detain illegal aliens in city jails.

Indiana state law forbids sanctuary policies in cities and counties. Gary backed down after Bopp’s lawsuit.

Rep. Todd Rokita (R-Ind.), who represents the Indianapolis suburbs, said he will fight for a federal law to punish local officials who protect illegal aliens.

“The loss of life at the hands of illegal immigrant criminals should make all Hoosiers sad and ultimately angry,” Rokita said in a statement. “We must do more to get these dangerous illegal immigrant criminals off our streets, and guarantee this never happens again by building a wall, ending sanctuary cities, and stopping illegal immigration once and for all.”

In December, Rokita introduced the SLAP ACT (Stopping Lawless Actions of Politicians). The proposed law would establish penalties for sanctuary city politicians who ignore federal immigration enforcement.

Justice Department official Bruce Ohr. (Youtube screen grab)

  • Key DoJ official’s wife gathered opposition research on Donald Trump for Fusion GPS
  • Nellie Ohr was on Fusion GPS staff
  • Her husband, Bruce Ohr works at the DoJ and presented that info to FBI officials

Under a contract from the Clinton campaign, the Fusion GPS research firm was paying the wife of a senior Department of Justice official as part of its efforts to gather opposition research on Trump, and the same official then brought that research to the FBI.

Knowledge of the relationship has raised questions about the extent to which the firm may have paid for heightened access to the criminal justice system, and whether they would have hired Nellie Ohr absent her spousal connection to the DoJ.

A declassified memo said Bruce “Ohr’s wife was employed by Fusion GPS to assist in the cultivation of opposition research on Trump. Ohr later provided the FBI with all of his wife’s opposition research, paid for by the DNC and Clinton campaign via Fusion GPS. The Ohrs’ relationship with Steele and Fusion GPS was inexplicably concealed from the” court when it was used to obtain a surveillance warrant.

Bruce Ohr was deputy associate attorney general until December. House investigators determined that he met personally with Glenn Simpson, Fusion GPS’ founder.

The FBI has limited resources to deal with a firehose of information, so people seeking the FBI’s attention could potentially benefit from greasing the wheels in order to get info to the front of the queue and to a high level.

“The money sweetened the pot for the Ohrs, and it certainly made it easier for Fusion to get the dossier to be used before the court if they made that payment to Bruce Ohr’s wife,” former judge and Texas GOP Rep. Louie Gohmert told The Daily Caller News Foundation,

“Fusion had to have known that because of the relationship between Bruce Ohr and his wife, they were bringing Fusion, the DOJ and the DNC together under one roof to work for the same goal, which was to stop Donald Trump from becoming president,” he said.

Ohr’s wife, Nellie, is a Russia expert, but it is not known what her specific contribution to the dossier was.

“The financial arrangement between Mrs. Ohr and Fusion GPS gives the appearance of government-for-hire,” said Tom Anderson, an ethics expert at the conservative-leaning watchdog group the National Legal and Policy Center. It “appears to be a sophisticated scheme to get access to the highest levels of our government … ensuring the use of government resources in an attempt to influence an election.”

Parties seeking to hide ethically questionable payments often write the checks to a family member. Since spouses generally share assets, payments to one benefit the other, and paying the spouse can make the payments less obvious or harder to trace.

Nellie did not return a message left on a number listed as her home phone number asking what contribution she made to the dossier.

Getting information into the hands of law enforcement through the family member of an official could have potentially also limited the paper trail showing how it wound up in FBI hands, and fingerprints tying it back to Fusion GPS, the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

Gohmert, who is a member of the House Committee on the Judiciary, said he believes that Ohr and other officials already harbored anti-Trump inclinations, but the money could have helped push him over the edge to take a leading role. “It was a way to reward people that thought like them. They enriched themselves and their friends.”

Voter registration data shows Nellie has been a registered Democrat in the past.

These folks have some pretty strong negative comments about these State of the Union quotes…

Cabot Phillips from Campus Reform spoke to several students outside John Jay College in New York and asked them to comment on some of the statements from the SOTU speech. What Phillips didn’t tell them is that the statements actually quoted Obama. 

This is what ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ looks like in action.

Watch:

And then, when some of them realized what had happened, they backpedaled.

My favorite is the girl with the fur-trimmed hood and red scarf that went from ‘we need to mind our own business because there are other countries with automatic and nuclear weapons‘ to, ‘some people are quick to judge Donald Trump just because of a few things he says, but I think if they paid attention to his whole Presidency they’d have a better perspective on him‘.

But that’s not her, right — it’s ‘some’ people?

Riiiiight.

And then there’s the guy at the end that is reasonable. President Trump managed to get through to the American people that were really listening to him when he delivered the State of the Union Address.

The response was overwhelmingly positive.

And despite the character assassination that has been ongoing for almost two years by the Media (D), his numbers are getting a bump.

Could it be because he’s not the boogeyman that they portray him to be?

Could it be because he is implementing good policies that are benefiting Americans?

Could it be because the Democrats doubled-down on identity politics and refused to stand for things that they say that they champion?

Could it be because Democrats have learned absolutely nothing after the last election and shoved privileged, trust-funded ‘Kennedy Dynasty’ Rep. Joe Kennedy III to deliver the counter to the President’s SOTU speech?

It looks like Americans ain’t having it.

It looks like the antidote to ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ is a healthy dose of #MAGA.

Dems hate Trump

The Left has been crying and whining since the election. They called good Americans “Deplorables.” They staged a sit in to protest gun violence, and simply looked like a bunch of petulant children in dire need of a whoopin’.

Maxine Waters screams incessantly (and usually on MSNBC, that wholly ‘impartial and objective’ channel…not) “Impeach him!”

Many of the Dems boycotted the inauguration in January 2017.

And these Dems boycotted President Trump’s first State of the Union:

  1. Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore.
  2. Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y.
  3. Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn.
  4. Rep. Danny Davis, D-Ill.
  5. Rep. Al Green, D-Texas
  6. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash.
  7. Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif.
  8. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga.
  9. Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y.
  10. Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill.
  11. Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill. (thevirtuous” woman whose husband is a convicted felon who organized paid protestors to incite violence at candidate Trump’s rallies)
  12. Rep. Albio Sires, D-N.J.
  13. Rep. Juan Vargas, D-Calif.
  14. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif.
  15. Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Fla.

The Democrats that actually attended sat there grimacing and pouting, once again looking like petulant, spoiled brats. The Congressional Black Caucus attempted to “resist” by wearing “kente cloth” in protest to Trump’s s-hole countries comment. For the most part, the Dems sat on their hands rather than applaud the low African American unemployment, low Hispanic unemployment, and high rate of economic growth in America. 

What The Left is broadcasting loud and clear is a hatred of Trump that supersedes any other emotion or motive — including love for America and Americans.

URL of the original posting site: https://www.westernjournal.com/california-presumes-homeschooling-parents-child-abusers-seeks-invasive-new-restrictions/

As California lawmakers continue their track-record of controversial decisions, one announcement in particular has caused an outcry for its overreaching presumption: that all homeschoolers must also be child abusers.

According to The Washington Examiner, the plan set out by lawmakers would be to force parents into proving to the government that they are, in fact, fit to be a parent. The homeschooling parent — per legal requirement — would have to meet the government’s required checklist via home visits, interviews, and other oversights, effectively increasing the burden on the parent to prove themselves parentally fit. 

And many have expressed concern over stripping away the legally protected option of homeschooling and deeming it as absurdly unconstitutional.

The decision seems to be in light of the horrifying case of David and Louise Turpin who were registered as homeschoolers to the 13 children that authorities found chained, malnourished and abused. Setting logic aside, lawmakers have set their emotions to focus on the sole aspect of the couple being homeschooling parents, rather than the fact that there were psychological issues at play long before the couple even conceived.

It’s an extreme example to try and bolster the controversial plan to increase government regulations when it comes to children and their education, yet data about the benefits of homeschooling may work against them. A recent piece by Chris Weller for Business Insider gives five strong reasons why kids in today’s world of technology, online classes and apps might actually be better-off than their publicly educated peers.

“Homeschooled kids have the same access to online learning, friendships, and extracurricular activities as the typical public school student,” Weller summarizes. “But without many of the drawbacks, like standardized lesson plans and bullying.”

Furthermore, there is little to no data that proves — or suggests — that homeschooled kids are abused by their parents or even at greater risk of being a victim of parental abuse, yet standardized lesson plans have routinely been called out by parents nationwide.

Lawmakers continue to use extreme cases like the Turpins and veiled data to prove their point, pushing out an agenda that criminalizes homeschooling — just one agenda among many which American citizens seem to be blind to.

“I’m routinely astounded by the degree to which Americans will be outraged by government abuses that take place in far-off lands, while remaining uninterested in similar abuses right here in their very midst,” wrote senior editorial writer Steven Greenhut for Foundation for Economic Education.

Greenhut’s article was one of many that chronicled the outrageous attempt at the liberal state to strip away fundamental basic rights, including that of every parent: to educate their own child as they see fit. Though there are current laws that protect those parents, Greenhut cautioned America to take a closer look at just how far lawmakers will go to invade the privacy of a household, likening it to totalitarian countries where “anything not expressly allowed is forbidden.”

“Only someone with an ideological axe to grind could find illegality in the practice of homeschooling.”

FISA is a way in which people in DC can, in essence, spy on American citizens by fraudulently obtaining a warrant claiming “national security” under the guise of spying on a foreign person or entity.  That is easily demonstrated in the FISA report we reported on a couple of weeks ago.

While many political junkies and talking heads pontificate on the newly release FISA memo, I want to know just one thing, why has no one been arrested for crimes against the American people in violation of the Constitution?

With the release of the 4 page FISA memo, it’s clear that the FBI, DOJ and NSA, along with the Obama administration abused their power and acted on a debunked, Soros and Hillary Clinton funded dossier to surveil then-candidate Donald Trump, with no probable cause.

Below is the long-awaited memo.

Nunes Memo by Brett LoGiurato on Scribd

https://www.scribd.com/embeds/370599196/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&access_key=key-ODcjGiejEmcGtHk6XC3A&show_recommendations=true

(For those of you who are “sight challenged like me, here are enlarged images of the released memo, Jerry Broussard of WhatDidYouSay.org)

President Donald Trump said that the memo revealed that “a lot of people should be ashamed of themselves.”

“I think it’s terrible,” Trump said. “You want to know the truth. I think it’s a disgrace. What’s going on in this country, I think it’s a disgrace.”

OK, great, it’s a disgrace, but more importantly, it reveals criminal activity, Mr. President!  And this not only concerns Donald Trump and those who were in his campaign and transition team, but it concerns the American people, as evidenced by a previous FISA report in which 85% of the National Security Agency’s searches were illegal against American citizens in violation of the Constitution.

The FISA memo stated that the now debunked dossier, which was authored by former British spy Christopher Steele and commissioned by Fusion GPS, and that was paid by the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign was used to initiate unconstitutional spying on the Trump campaign.

According to the House Intelligence Committee, the information begins to “raise concerns with the legitimacy and legality of certain DOJ and FBI interactions” with the FISA court.

Additionally, it represents “a troubling breakdown of legal processes established to protect the American people from abuses related to the FISA process.”

The memo shows the in December 2017, FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe testified that “no surveillance warrant would have been sought” from the FISA court “without the Steele dossier information.”

Steele was terminated from the FBI in 2016 “for what the FBI defines as the most serious of violations—an unauthorized disclosure to the media of his relationship with the FBI.”

Fox News adds:

But even after his termination, Steele remained in close contact with Justice Department official—then-Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr. At the time, Ohr “worked closely” with Yates and later Rosenstein.

Ohr’s wife Nellie began working for Fusion GPS, the firm behind the dossier, as early as May 2016.

The memo said that while the FISA application “relied” on Steele’s “past record of credible reporting” on other “unrelated matters,” the FISA application process “ignored or concealed his anti-Trump financial and ideological motivations.

According to the memo, Steele told Ohr that he “was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president.”

“This clear evidence of Steele’s bias was recorded by Ohr at the time and subsequently in official FBI files –but not reflected in any of the Page FISA applications,” the memo reads. 

The Trump administration also had comment on the contents of the memo.

Business Insider reports:

The memo claims, among other things, that several top officials at the Justice Department and the FBI acted improperly when they signed off on applications seeking extended surveillance of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

“The brave and assiduous oversight by Congressional leaders in discovering this unprecedented abuse of process represents a giant, historic leap in the repair of America’s democracy,” Page said in a statement to Business Insider. “Now that a few of the misdeeds against the Trump Movement have been partially revealed, I look forward to updating my pending legal action in opposition to DOJ this weekend in preparation for Monday’s next small step on the long, potholed road toward helping to restore law and order in our great country.”

The memo also exposes the fact that the FISA application “extensively” cited an Sept. 23, 2016 news article, which was basically planted by Fusion GPS.

“That is significant because the article, written by veteran reporter Michael Isikoff, is itself based on the unverified dossier,” writes Benny Johnson and Chuck Ross at The Daily Caller.  “Isikoff was among a small group of reporters who in September 2016 was briefed on the dossier by Steele and Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson.” 

The FISA application made no mention of the link between the Isikoff article and the dossier,” wrote Johnson and Ross.  “Instead, the article was treated as corroborating evidence for the dossier. The memo says that the FISA application ‘incorrectly assesse[d]’ that the Isikoff article was based on information separate from the dossier.”

Here’s the real rub.  FISA is a way in which people in DC can, in essence, spy on American citizens by fraudulently obtaining a warrant claiming “national security” under the guise of spying on a foreign person or entity.  That is easily demonstrated in the FISA report we reported on a couple of weeks ago.

The judge that issued the warrant and all those who push for the surveillance should be held accountable according to the law and punished justly as they are criminals, not servants of the public.  Why are these people still in our government?  Why are they given voice in the media?  Why are they not perp walked on national television?

It’s because there is no longer equal protection under the law nor is there justice in our land despite the claims of some that a new sheriff is in town.

I ask you, President Trump, when are you going to do your duty and enforce the Constitution against these domestic terrorists, some of which you called “good people“?  When?  Don’t tell me it’s a disgrace.  It’s clearly a crime!  Do your duty, Sir!  bring the people involved to justice!  Otherwise, I can only assume you are using this for political points.

  9. Why Does California Have The Nation’s Highest Poverty Rate?

    https://http://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckdevore/2016/09/28/why-does…

    Sep 28, 2016 · Lastly, a word on demographics. Demographers say that America will be a minority-majority nation by 2055. Today, four states are already there: California, Hawaii, New Mexico and Texas. Of these four states, Texas has by far the lowest Supplemental Poverty Measure, 14.9 percent.

The irony of a place that calls itself, The Golden State has no more gold.

According to new statistics released last month by the United States Census Bureau the blue dominate state has more people suffering from poverty than another state in the nation.

In its report, the Census Bureau used cost of living to determine poverty level. The report utilized a standard called the “supplemental poverty measure,” or SPM, which incorporates various factors including expenditures on food, clothing, shelter and utilities, as well as geographic variations, in housing costs.

A little more than 20 percent of Californians — about 8 million people — live in poverty, according to the state’s SPM rate. By comparison, in Mississippi, the state with the highest poverty rate by the official poverty measure, only about 16 percent live in poverty, according to the state’s SPM.

Considering how California throws money away at every problem, who’s shocked.

Welfare Dependence

California state and local governments spent about $958 billion from 1992 through 2015 on public welfare programs, including cash-assistance payments, vendor payments and “other public welfare,” according to the Census Bureau. That’s almost $1 trillion, and to what end.

Hosting 12% of the American population California boasts about one in three of the nation’s welfare recipients. Vagrants know California to be the state where you can get easy money. California fights against welfare-to-work, so the lazy flock to the state in droves. It doesn’t hurt that most areas of California are inhabitable in the worst of conditions.

While California rewards the apathetic, many states have gone back to implementing work requirements for welfare. Georgia is one such state. According to a report by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, there have been an additional 21 counties who restored the work requirements. These counties experienced a 62 percent drop in SNAP participants.

This kind of approach was also successful back in the 80’s and 90’s when states implemented welfare reform. The results were welfare rolls plummeted and people went back to work. But of course Leftists in California have rejected these positive results and continue with a no strings attached welfare approach.

In fact, California recipients of state aid receive a disproportionately large share of it in no-strings-attached cash disbursements. It’s as though welfare reform passed California by, leaving a dependency trap in place. Immigrants are falling into it: 55% of immigrant families in the state get some kind of means-tested benefits, compared with just 30% of natives. 

Work ethic lifts people out of poverty. However, Democrats ignore this simple fact.

 Over Regulated Housing

In addition to out of control welfare handouts, finding an affordable home in California is nearly impossible. After New Jersey and Maryland, California is the third least-free state when it comes to housing regulation.

This is due to development fees, global warming carbon dioxide concerns, restrictive zoning, and other barriers which act to create a massive barrier to owning a house in California. This pushes the cost of a home beyond reach for the middle class, while making rent virtually impossible for the poor.

Extensive environmental regulations aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions make energy more expensive, also hurting the poor. By some estimates, California energy costs are as much as 50% higher than the national average.

 Jonathan A. Lesser of Continental Economics, author of a 2015 Manhattan Institute study, “Less Carbon, Higher Prices,” found that “in 2012, nearly 1 million California households faced … energy expenditures exceeding 10% of household income. In certain California counties, the rate of energy poverty was as high as 15% of all households.”  

In other words making the population more poor to be more “eco-friendly” is good by progressive standards!

The Official Sanctuary State

Further, if you really wanted to destroy California, you need change nothing. Take for example Jerry Brown’s new law that provides sanctuary for non-citizens. In effect, illegals have more rights than taxpaying American citizens in California.

As Reported by Fox News:

The Golden State is home to an estimated 2.3 million illegal immigrants.

“These are uncertain times for undocumented Californians and their families, and this bill strikes a balance that will protect public safety, while bringing a measure of comfort to those families who are now living in fear everyday,” Brown said on the day he signed the bill. 

And we are seeing the effects of these dangerous polices first hand. Take a look at this recording from a driver observing what a “sanctuary” looks like in California:

Additionally, California spends $23 billion on illegal immigration as opposed to the rest of the United States combined at $89 billion. 

If this is what California calls “progressivism” it’s no wonder why some counties in California are trying to declare independence from the rest of the state.

With the reading of their own version of a Declaration of Independence, founders of the state of New California took the first steps to what they hope will eventually lead to statehood. CBS Sacramento reports they don’t want to leave the United States, just California.

“Well, it’s been ungovernable for a long time. High taxes, education, you name it, and we’re rated around 48th or 50th from a business climate and standpoint in California,” said founder Robert Paul Preston.

But unlike other separation movements in the past, the state of New California wants to do things by the book, citing Article 4, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution and working with the state legislature to get it done, similar to the way West Virginia was formed.

Don’t expect California to see the light. The state is too far gone. And they have fixed the system so thoughtful leaders will never win.

I hope President Trump doesn’t offer them a bailout without a deal to change the leadership. Know that California is broke and not admitting it.


Scariest Poll of the Year for Democrats Just Released. If you are listening to the Democrats, there are a lot of things they didn’t like about the president’s speech at last night’s State of the Union address.

But what should bother them most is the poll released shortly thereafter.

President Trump received a 75 percent approval for his SOTU speech. That’s really bad news for Democrats. But inside the numbers reveals far deeper problems. According to the poll 43 percent of Democrats liked the president’s speech. That number is huge. At best, Trump likely carried only 30 percent of the Democrat vote on November 8, 2016. So the idea that he now carries an additional 13 percent is huge. Add to this the recent poll showing the twice as many blacks support Trump now than on election day, and you see the problem for the Democrats.

Next, 72 percent of Independents liked the speech. Again, a big increase over the Independents who supported Trump a year ago.

How do you think those numbers jive with the fake news polls?

Consider Steve Schmidt of MSNBC who actually called the speech “divisive” and thought it was coming from an “alternate reality.”

SCHMIDT: “The president went in there as presidents do and addresses the nation. But left unsaid was that this president comes in, the most unpopular president this early in his tenure in the history of polling. 

 Somebody who is besieged by a criminal investigation, talking about the importance of our law enforcement organizations and institutions while at the same time the Republican majority working with the White House is engaged in a full-on assault trying to discredit the FBI, the Justice Department, doing everything they conceivably can to insulate the president from these investigations.

 Across the depth and breadth of this, you saw a divisive speech, the wedge issue of immigration, the scare tactics of ms-13. There was no talk in this speech about the challenges the country faces over the next five years, ten years, 15 years.

And more than anything, there was a speech delivered almost from an alternate reality, a fifth dimension that presumes that nothing we heard from this president has actually in fact happened. And the American people know it.

Schmidt may have listened to President Trump, but he didn’t bother to hear. But there is one more number to consider. The Republicans. So what about that Republican base?

With 97 percent of Republicans liking the speech, that means Trump has undoubtedly shored up his base. Given the anti-Trump and Never Trumpers, the fact that Trump has such overwhelming support from a supposedly fractured party speaks volumes. The Democrats would sacrifice much for such unity.

Recall a poll taken after Trump was in office just 6 months trying to convince the public he was the most hated president in history:

According to the Washington Post/ABC poll, President Trump’s new approval rating is 36%.

“Approaching six months in office, Trump’s overall approval rating has dropped to 36 percent from 42 percent in April. His disapproval rating has risen five points to 58 percent. Overall, 48 percent say they “disapprove strongly” of Trump’s performance in office, a level never reached by former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and reached only in the second term of George W. Bush in Post-ABC polling.”

Democrats believed their polls in 2016, and that ended poorly. 

Now a CBS poll, obviously biased against Trump yields amazingly pro-Trump numbers. So what are the real numbers?

The good news for President Trump is the real numbers don’t matter. Because they will only get better.

At the SOTU, President Trump stayed true to the course he set. While Democrats behaved like petulant children, they have no choice but to come around. Truthfully, Democrats are happy Obama is gone. They celebrate a real president, but can’t share their joy.

However, soon they will admit their support for President Trump. To do so will be acceptable.


CNN Anchor Chris Cuomo BLASTS Hillary Clinton Over Lies. I commented that one of the many signs that America shifts towards Conservatism will come in fake news media reporting.

I said on my radio show that you will soon see the media covering unflattering stories of high-level, previously untouchable Democrats. While CNN remains fake news as they selectively cover things like the FISA memo due to come out shortly, they no longer wear their “poker face” when discussing Hillary Clinton.

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo blasted Hillary Clinton recently over the issue of sexual abuse by a staffer. Cuomo said of the recent revelation that Clinton shielded a 2008 campaign staffer from firing after sexual harassment allegations showcases her inability to admit her mistakes.

“It raises two things,” Cuomo said. “We went hard on this Friday night on the prime time show and the one is, this is who Hillary Clinton is. Let’s be honest. One of the reasons that email story got out of control is that she wouldn’t jump on that early on either and just own what was true and apologize about it.”

“The second thing is they’ll say it was 2008,” he continued. “Whatever, you had two people, including your campaign manager, come to you and said this person has to go. That was all you needed, 2008, 1978, that’s all she should have needed.”

In this time of heightened awareness placed on sexual harassment and abuse, Hillary Clinton appears rather flippant in her response. Clinton’s 2008 former campaign chief, Patti Solis Doyle told CNN earlier Monday that she looked into the matter and “came to the conclusion that there was sexual harassment involved. She added that the young woman was very credible. Finally, she commented, “my recommendation to the Senator was to fire him and I was overruled.”

What Cuomo said is about as close as you can come to calling a person a liar, without outright calling a person a liar. But what the Democrats certainly must see is that the fake news media now covers Clinton, and not favorably. Check out this segment from Wolf Blitzer:

Interestingly, what began impugning the reputation of Harvey Weinstein now expands to engulf Hillary Clinton. What irony.

The Democrats are in big trouble. Clinton’s legacy as a champion of women’s causes is dead, even if the Left haven’t admitted it publicly.

And in the wake of the FISA memo revelations, the party itself is on life-support.

At some point, the media must try to regain some modicum of credibility. I think we have seen the first pass.
