Hillary busy making up more excuses as to why she lost the election. This one has to do with Pearl Harbor.

Ben Kamisar / The Hill: Clinton: Media covered email server scandal ‘like it was Pearl Harbor’

You just read The Hill's headline (above).  Know why the press made a big deal about her server and the missing 33,000 emails?  

Maybe it had something to do with the fact that the server was in violation of Barack Obama's own directives.  And those emails?  They went missing AFTER she had been told to preserve all emails and communications by the State department.  

So how is that "sanctuary" thing working out for the cops in L.A. We have the answer:

WAR: LA law enforcement high alert after gangs threaten officers...

Clearly the woman is a skank. But seriously, she is "sorry" like she is "funny" or moral.

Update:  She just lost her contract with CNN and is losing
more than one endorsement contract. Once a skank, always  . . . 

"I went too far" as she rolls her eyes.  What a piece of tripe.

Fake News story # 208: More polling proves nothing.

Forty-three percent of voters want Congress to begin impeachment proceedings, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll, up from 38 percent last week.

Editor:  These are the same people who predicted a landslide victory for Hillary and thought the foundations for the Twin Tower Memorial,  would be under 20 feet of sea water by 2015.  

Think about it:  Right now,  about 70 million people would vote for Donald Trump if the election was held today  (ABC/WaPost poll with Trump winning the popular vote by 3 points).  If accurate,  that means all of the opposition is now hoping for impeachment  . . . . .  not a likely scenario.    

Boycott these entities advertising on programs that subvert our liberties and represent foreign efforts at destoying our great nation.

Kathy Griffin - a slut on the Left does this and expects us to consider her apology as sincere.

Just a skank doing the bidding of the Godless Left

She has to sell herself to gain acceptance.  

She is wearing the same clothes during her apology.  

Which means it was all planned.

Time for CNN to stick her up its backside

along with all the other crap it pulls and throws. 

Ever notice that her nose is almost as long as her face?

Liberal crap talk about the 23 miilion and the truth:

On May 4, the House of Representatives bulled through the American Health Care Act, a bill which mostly just cuts taxes on the rich and pays for it by slashing Medicaid to the bone. Republicans deliberately passed it without allowing the Congressional Budget Office enough time to score it, so they could lie more persuasively about what it would do. That CBO score has now come out, and it predicts that TrumpCare will leave 23 million more people uninsured by 2026, and dramatically worsen coverage for tens of millions more.

Editor's notes:  Now,  here is the truth.  The CBO tells us that the Republican plan will reduce monthly premiums,  substantially,  and will reduce the national debt in each of the four consecutive 10 year periods following the passage of the bill. 

So,  what about the 23 million folks no longer insured.  

Does anyone on the Left know that the GOP is not forcing anyone to buy insurance.  Does anyone not understand that when you are forced to buy a policy that demands you spend $6,000 of your own money before your policy kicks in, that demand is nothing but a fraud. At best,  it is "catastrophic insurance" and NOTHING more.

The millions of folks that have such policies are not covered by "universal federalized insurance."   So lets stop wringing our hands over the 23 million folks who don't want insurance,  and,  start worrying about the 120 policies that do not offer coverage until and unless you spend thousands of your own money.  

Also,  keep in mind,  that there are only 10 million folks covered by individual,  non-work related coverage outside of the Medicare/Medicaid programs.  So,  where did this 23 million number come from?  It is only an estimate for the number of people that do not intend to seek coverage.  These are not folks that want coverage and are being denied  . . . . .  period.

We have been told over and over again,  that more people have opted out of coverage than have enrolled.  

Do not fall for the rhetoric that says,  "ObamaCare is great coverage for all of America."  That is just another lie added to all those lies told us in the beginning of the ObamaCare legislative process.  They lied to us then,  and, they are lying to us now.  Take that to the bank.   

Very Fake News story #207: Merkel says, "We can no longer depend on the United States." (you won't beleive what she really said).

Here are a few of the Enemies recent headlines: 

Merkel warns US is no longer reliable, Europe's destiny in 'own hand

Angela Merkel says Europe can no longer rely on US or UK

Angela Merkel Suggests Germany Can't Count on the U.S. Under Trump

Now,  here is a word for word reeord of what the woman actually said as read to the reporters,  today,  at the WH news briefing.  Keep in mind that this story has been around for two stinking days,  and has been an outrageous lie from the very beginning.

"The time when Europe could rely solely on others is somewhat in the past, and,  as I have witnessed over the past few days, Europe must take its fate in its own hands.  This means working in friendship with the U.S. , the U.K., and,  neighborly relations with Russia and other partners." 

Good news for those who have a religious conscience against birth control or abortion:

Robert Pear / New York Times: White House Acts to Roll Back Birth-Control Mandate for Religious Employers

'Nuff said.

Fake News story #206: Trump intends to violate our civil rights with intent and malice?

Now,  the Wa/Post wants to carry the theme that the Right is not concerned with "civil liberties."  Just more crap from the Left.  You do know that they have not had a reasonable idea since Trump was elected.  This headline is no exception.  It is our Fake News story #206. 

Juliet Eilperin / Washington Post: Trump administration plans to minimize civil rights efforts in agencies

Stop and think about it.  With Democrats,  "Civil rights concerns" have been used to violate federal law for decades.  Take sanctuary cities, for example;  the Progressives in Congress have used "fairness" and a manufactured code of "civil rights principles" as cover for violating federal law as to immigration.  Add to this their work to release convicted non-violent drug offenders using the same strategies,  and you have a bastardization of "fairness"   in the name of civil rights concerns. 

There should be no argument.  No one argues that the "illegal population" is in violation of federal law.  With that in mind,  one would think enforcement of federal immigration laws would be a no brainer   . . . . .   but not to the political party that has no respect for law and order.  

All Trump is saying is this:  "We are going to press law and order.  Phony concerns [emphasis on "phony"]  for civil rights will not play a roll in our determination to get this country back on the right track."  

Nothing wrong with that.  

Hail to the Chief !!!  

Bernie caused more harm to the Democrat Party, by being authentic, than many thought to be the case. There is the fear that he harmed the Party's future enrollment.

Politico — By many measures, the Bernie Sanders revolution proved a smashing success. Young people registered to vote, and small donors opened their wallets. Economic issues like the minimum wage and student debt were pushed to the forefront of the presidential debate. From big city rallies to the backwaters of precinct-level elections, the progressive movement breathes new life in no small part due to the Vermont senator.  But nearly a year after Sanders’ presidential run fell short, one thing is missing in the afterglow — a reliable string of victories at the ballot box.

Editor's notes:  More than the victories,  the Democrat Party has no soul,  no personality.  And if Trump is [even] mildly successful in creating jobs,  bringing in overseas investments, and setting this nation as the leader of the free world  (something Progressives care little about),  he will win re-election.  

Say what you will about Bernie,  he was authentic until he capitulated to Hillary.  And his followers were and are deeply disappointed.  A significant percentage of these evolving adults will stay away from the fraud that is the Democrat Leadership of today. 

And what happens after Trump?  I can tell you this:  if the Susan Collins and John McCains of the world are successful in stopping the Trump agenda,  folks like me will walk away from the GOP in droves   . . . .  and that is exactly what I think will happen.   Just know this:  Trump and millions of folks like me,  will blame McCain and the Anti-Trump crowd for the failure to provide tax reform and healthcare reform.  The Status quo will not get its party back as they hope. 

Conclusion:  The future looks bleak for the Democrats but then comes the disaster within the GOP,  after Trump.  Conservatives are done with Collins and McCain.  Of course,  these two and a few of the older leadership will be gone, 8 years from now,  so there is a little hope.  

On second thought,  maybe the GOP will survive as a Conservative Power.    But the Democrats,  well,  they have become openly subversive to this country, its symbols,  its God,  and its foundational documents.  And the generation of voters that don't give a care about any of this,  the Millennials,  are quickly becoming the older generation.  In America,  history tells us there are few old Communist.  The clock is ticking;  generational change (time consuming as it is) is in the works,  and its effect will be more slowly effective within the Progressive/Socialist Party than in the GOP.  That generation is already on the march.  Maybe the GOP has a chance,  after all. 

Fake News story #205: Kushner is being pushed out of the White House.

Axios  (who???) gives this report,  and in doing so,  unwittingly dispells the liberal lie that Kushner is being pushed out of the WH because of heavy internal pressure to do so.  All crap.  Obviously,  Jared Kushner is "all in" at the WH.  And the President's over-seas tour was a wild success as the result, in part, of the Kushner influence  ~  editor.

Axios:  While Rex Tillerson fills the official duties of America's top diplomat, Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law, has a parallel foreign policy role that was on full display during Trump's first foreign trip last week.

Why it matters: Kushner is viewed internally as the official most capable of gathering competing viewpoints and translating/presenting the policy to Trump. That's why Trump has put him in charge of issues as big as Middle East peace, and why he has served as point person on the U.S. relationship with China. But he's facing new scrutiny amid reports he tried to set up secret communications with the Russians (to discuss Syria strategy, according to the New York Times).

Keep reading 300 words 

 

A White House official told Axios that Kushner was the one who helped plan and oversee the first part of the trip — to Saudi Arabia, Israel and Italy — with the theme of speaking to 3 of the world's biggest religions. During the Saudi Arabia stop, an arms deal Kushner reportedly helped negotiate was finalized.

Marines have a "masculinity" problem. Really?

Alex Ward / Vox: The Marine Corps has a “toxic masculinity” problem

Vox, a far Left nutjob publication that does not 

believe in the necessity of war,  thinks our soldiers,

trained to kick the crap out of the enemy, has a 

masculinity problem.  

All I can say is,  "I certainly hope so,"   

Fake News story # 204: Kushner DIDN'T try to created a back channel with the Russians.

Update:  To be clear,  parallels between Hillary and Kushner regarding "back channel" communications are perfectly legitimate.  The argument that she was serving her country and Kushner was not,  is rather silly.  For starters,  the "back channel" event occurred after Trump had won the election.  No one is going to go after Trump as "president elect" and we all know this.  "President elects"  often set up lines of communication,  so that they can "hit the ground running."  Secondly,  the Russians came to Kushner   . . . .   not a crime; not even "ill-advised."  

The Fake Story has been around for nearly two weeks,  that Kushner tried to create a secret back channel line with the Russians.  Truns out that Fox News blows that our of the water with this headline:  

Fox News
Jared Kushner didn't suggest Russian communications channel in meeting, source says  —  A December meeting between Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law and one of the senior advisers in the Trump administration, and Russian 

In a related story,  we have this change of direction for the FBI: 
 New York Times: Investigation Turns to Kushner's Motives in Meeting With a Putin Ally

If they are looking at "motive," they really have nothing in terms of hard evidence.  Do they really expect Kushner to confess being a spy.  What a joke and the investigation is getting more and more embarrassing with the passing of time.  Understand that if they had evidence proving motive,  motive would not matter  (because they have evidence).  Again,  what a pathetic joke. 

Fake News story #203: AOL pretends to be a news network and says this:

President Trump acted like a 'drunk tourist' during first foreign trip: report.

 Absolutely untrue. In fact,  I can cite source after liberal source, reporters surprised at the effectiveness of the President.   The headline is "one of a kind," which should tell you just how biased is this piece of crap AOL report. 

In the future,  I will not source anything I may or may not get from AOL.  They don't want to play by the rules?  Well,  neither do I. 

Townhall separates itself from the Trump bashing Weekly Statndard and the National Review.

From Townhall,  we have this very popular statement: 

I know it’s theoretically wrong for a Republican candidate to smack around an annoying liberal journalist, but that still doesn’t mean that I care. Our ability to care is a finite resource, and, in the vast scheme of things, millions of us have chosen to devote exactly none of it toward caring enough to engage in fussy self-flagellation because of what happened to Slappy La Brokenshades.
Sorry, not sorry.

And that’s not a good thing, not by any measure, but it is a real thing. Liberals have chosen to coarsen our culture. Their validation and encouragement of raw hate, their flouting of laws (Hi leakers! Hi Hillary!) and their utter refusal to accept democratic outcomes they disapprove of have consequences. What is itself so surprising is how liberals and their media rentboyz are so surprised to find that we normals are beginning to feel about them the way they feel about us – and that we’re starting to act on it. If you hate us, guess what?

We’re going to start hating you right back.

How stupid is this headline . . . . and these people pretend to be the nation's intelligent class !!! ??

Eliana Johnson / Politico: Trump's obsession over Russia probe deepens

Just to be clear,  Trump is not the one obsessed with the Russian probe.  

Fake News story #203: This time it is about the make believe story that Kushner is under fire and on his way out of this Administration.

The Hill:   Administration officials close to President Trump are reportedly pushing White House adviser Jared Kushner to take a leave of absence amid recent reports that he is under FBI scrutiny.

The FBI is reportedly interested in Kushner as part of its investigation [of course !!!    ~  editor] into Russia’s meddling in the presidential election. 

A Sunday report on ABC News’s “This Week” said members of the Trump circle are wondering if Kushner will need to step aside.

Editor:  Absolutely none of this is true if the desired impression is one that frames Kushner as deeply flawed,  under fire and being pushed to move away from the President.  The enemy within (aka The Media) wants you to believe their frame-job,  but it ain't true.  

Think about this,  how many months, now,  have we heard the story that the Administration is falling apart,  that Bannon and then Priebus and then Kellyann Conway are on their way out?   All of this "reporting" to no avail.  

Standing 60 second ovation for Presient Trump at Arlington.

The president was clearly energized by the standing ovation he received this morning,  at Arlington.  He has given up a billion dollars in personal wealth to serve as the duely elected President of the United States.  He has put the U.S. back on center stage in a world lost without leadership over the past eight years.  Foreign invests have outstriped all such investments of the past eight years,  and the jobs market is ready to explode.  

The good thing about Trump,  on this Memorial Day,  is found in the fact that our President is no longer willing to sacrifice our military personnel for the sake of political crap, as did Obama.   President Trump is a friend of the soldier and the standing ovations (three in toto) he received from the military at Arlington proves that they know this President has their back.   

Trump's speech was one of the best ever.  Barack would have mentioned himself dozens of times.  Trump did not mention himself once,  but paid tribute to the fallen.  A wonderful speech expressing the thoughts of a true leader.  

I am proud to be a supporter of this president.  

Merkel is angry and 70 million Americans if not 300 million, don't give a rip.

Washington Post: Following Trump's trip, Merkel says Europe can't rely on ‘others.’ She means the U.S.   

Editor's notes:  She means "We can't depend on the United States to help sequester the liberties of the European people."   She means, "We can no longer depend on America to help steal the wealth of the working class and give it away or spend it on nonsense."  She means,  "We can no longer depend on the United States to help us turn Europe on its head via the borderless world we have provide the Muslim terror population."  

Understand that in the UK alone,  Theresa May reported that her country has more than 23,000 individual terror groups or persons running around.  Attribute all of that to their membership in Merkel's borderless world.  We,  here in America,  have well over 1,000 open cases involving radical Islam.  Britain has 3,000 government agents to police and/or investigate those 23,000.  Obviously,  that makes the job impossible.  And exactly the same thing will happen in this country if we can't stem the tide.  

 

Maybe now, he will stop talking about running for President.

Trump's first overseas trip far more successful than any of Obama's.

He was clear, concise and disciplined. Those were the key ingredients that created a striking success for President Trump in his first foreign trip.  

If he can bottle that recipe and start each day in the Oval Office with a big gulp of it, his presidency gets a renewed chance to live up to its promises.

Trump’s clarity on the global stage was a reminder of why he was elected. Much as he did in the campaign on his best days, he cut through the BS to get to the heart of contentious issues and offer forceful solutions.

Under enormous scrutiny, he acted in the best traditions of American leadership on two continents by helping create a Muslim NATO to combat radical Islamists and by pushing the original NATO to face terrorism and financial facts.

Throughout the weeklong trip, which also included a substantive, friendly meeting with the pope and tense negotiations over trade and climate change, Trump showed the message discipline too often missing in the White House. And he did it without sacrificing his core convictions or puckish personality.

One priceless moment came as he stood in the $1.4 billion new NATO building in Brussels and referred to American taxpayers running out of patience with the alliance’s deadbeats. The incident no doubt cheered his supporters at home as much as it rankled the European elites, most of whom regard taxpayers as suitable only for fleecing, especially when they are American  ~  Michael Goodwin,  NY Post,  read the full article,  here. 

You should know that back in 2009-2014, This was Obama's "Russian Reset." It involved secret meetings and reduced sanctions.

Kerry has been the point man on dealing with Russia because his close relationship with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov represents the last remaining functional diplomatic channel between Washington and Moscow. They meet often, often without any staff members present, and talk on the phone regularly. Obama and Putin, on the other hand, are known to have an intense dislike for each other and very rarely speak.

In several conversations with Lavrov, Kerry has floated an offer to Russia that would pave the way for a partial release of some of the most onerous economic sanctions. Kerry’s conditions included Russia adhering to September's Minsk agreement and ceasing direct military support for the Ukrainian separatists. The issue of Crimea would be set aside for the time being, and some of the initial sanctions that were put in place after Crimea’s annexation would be kept in place.

Fake News Story #202: This time, the Times wants you to beleive that it knows all about the Kushner/Trump family relationship. Bull !!

the Bourgeoisie Class

Read the NY Times headline first:

New York Times:

Kushner's Relationship With Trump Tested as Russia Accusations Swirl  —  WASHINGTON — The most successful deal of Jared Kushner's short and consequential career in real estate and politics involves one highly leveraged acquisition: a pair of adjoining offices a few penny-loafer paces from his father-in-law's desk in the White House.

Now,  consider this:  "Accusations swirl" ONLY in the New York Times and related commie publications and no where else.   The impression that Kushner is under attack from sources other than the Sedicious Media is the "fake news" part of the story.  In addition,  there is absolutely no reason to believe that the relationship of Donald Trump with his son-in-law is being "tested." 

The folks we have in office,  CEO's and successful businessmen,  all (unlike the pretenders in the Obama Administration and Congress), have sacrificed their peace of mind and set aside millions of dollars to serve.  President Trump has lost over a billion dollars in net worth,  to serve as president.  On the other hand,  we have folks untrained and/or untested in the world of finance and business management,  daring to criticize the current Administration, while they rake in millions of dollars writing books and making speeches.  They are the Bourgeoisie Class,  we are the working class,  and they have been stealing from us,  even within their own political party,  for decades. 

Never before,  I say "never before,"  have financial leaders in this country defended a 1.6% GDP as "the new normal,"  only in Obama Land.  And why is this their reality?  Because their tax levies and regulatory schemes have stolen more wealth from those who create our jobs,  than ever before in U.S. history.  THAT is the "fundamental transformation" these Ignorants have given us. 

They hate Trump,  simply and profoundly so,  because  he says "bullshit" to all that wealth transfer crap.  Not a single person reading this article has ever worked for a poor person, not if she is employed outside of our feckless government   . . . . .   not a single person.  Calling names,  refusing to honor our past election,  grandstanding on a Do Nothing congressional policy and lying about the Trump Regime,  are the ONLY strategies these Losers have;  these are the very strategies they think will give them a victory in coming elections   . . . . .  in spite of the fact that they can't win a damn election to save their political lives.  What a pathetic joke these clowns have become.  

Go ahead and convince me that he isn't a subversive and anti-Semtic to his core?

Turns out the Iranian deal was in the pot and cooking years before we knew what he was doing  ~  editor.  

 Barack Obama approved of Iran’s right to operate a nuclear program in 2011 during secret meetings with Iranian officials, according to new disclosures by Iran’s Supreme Leader.
The comments, made earlier this year by Ali Khamenei, dispute claims by the Obama administration that it only began talking to Iran after the election of President Hassan Rouhani.
Khamenei revealed in a recent speech that talks began in secret with anti-Semitic, Holocaust denying former President Mahmoud Ahmadenejad. At this time, Obama told the Iranians he endorses Iran’s right to have a nuclear program.

It was Obama, not the Russians, who played a foundational role in the overthrow of the 2016 American election process along with the hacking of the trusting American people.

May 24, 2017

The National Security Agency under former President Barack Obama routinely violated American privacy protections while scouring through overseas intercepts and failed to disclose the extent of the problems until the final days before Donald Trump was elected president last fall, according to once top-secret documents that chronicle some of the most serious constitutional abuses to date by the U.S. intelligence community. 

 More than 5 percent, or one out of every 20 searches seeking upstream Internet data on Americans inside the NSA’s so-called Section 702 database violated the safeguards Obama and his intelligence chiefs vowed to follow in 2011, according to one classified internal report reviewed by  Circa.   

As it should be:

Charlie Spiering / Breitbart:

Donald Trump Shuns Press Conference, Celebrates Successful Foreign Trip with American Troops  —  President Donald Trump ignored the custom of holding a press conference to conclude his trip abroad, choosing, instead, to celebrate his successful trip with a speech to the troops.

 

Editor's notes:  Understand that the American popular media has forfeited its place,  if not its right, to be being America's "watch dog."  Its coverage has been been one sided,  at best,  since the days of the Viet Nam war.  Its obsession with European socialism has been a growing work in progress since those days.  Obama was the tipping point,  however.

 

In this Loser,  we elected a man who brought Black Victimization and Anger into our White House and his life's mission was seldom the target of any media criticism.  Time magazine printed pictures of Barack,  looking into the distance,  with a multicolored halo over his head.  He saw the flag as a symbol of white domination,  the Founding Documents as the work of plantation owners,  Britain as a nation that imprisoned the Muslim father he never really knew, and "capitalism" as the unfair economic strategy of those hording the wealth belonging to the American people.  

 

He still lied his ass off at just about everything from Benghazi to the keystone pipeline,  his red line in Syria, ObamaCare,  and virtually all policies in between.  He left this country in domestic turmoil,  impostors like Al Sharpton and Maxine Waters  in "good" standing,"  the Middle East in flames,  the Muslim Brotherhood back in power, and, the world in decline,  lost without the effective role of the United States.  

 

And through it all,  the American Popular Press did nothing but hide his legion of faults and his pretense at being an intellectually gifted reformer.  

 

In the past several months,  the Press has proven it has no place at the table.  Let them write their subversive lies in the darkness,  outside the West Wing conference halls.  Most of us on the Right side of history,  really do not care.

 

We are fine with Trump's fight with the Media. 

Sooo, how come conservatives never do this nonsense?

Warren got into Harvard pretending to being a minority, and, that other chick,  well,  her very white parents have no clue why she is doing whatever she is doing. 

Fake News story # 201; This time, we have the The Hill contradicting its own headline (and they are part of the nation's intelligentsia?" lol).

Below is the The Hill's headline.  The article has nothing to do with headline,  itself,  but this is what we have grown to expect.  When Trump calls them "the enemy of the State,"  here is your evidence.  There simply is no reason other than sedition,  for The Hill to manufacture an accusatory headline that is based on a distortion of the text of their own article  ~  Editor.   

Headline verse the truth:   

Ex-CIA Director: CIA would consider Kushner actions 'espionage'

Turns out the CIA Director did not charge Kushner with espionage.  In fact,  he admitted that we neither know the content of alleged conversation or the objective Kushner had in mind when dealing with the Russian contact. Don't believe me?  Try reading the stinking article.  

Excerpt:  

"I don’t want to overstate this because obviously there is a lot we don’t know — we don’t know the exact content of the conversation. We don’t know the objective that was a part of the conversation — those things we don’t know," McLaughlan said on MSNBC's "The Last Word" Friday.

"But I can’t keep out of my mind the thought that, if an American intelligence officer had done anything like this, we’d consider it espionage.”

Part of the Dimocrat's playbook as they ignore the 2016 Presidential Election, is the use of the "Friday Night News Dump." Here is another example:

John Wagner / Washington Post:

Trump considers major changes amid escalating Russia crisis  —  President Trump and his advisers, seeking to contain the escalating Russia crisis that threatens to consume his presidency, are considering a retooling of his senior staff and the creation of a “war room” within the White House …

 

Editor;  Whether or not Trump plans on changes to his advisory staff and/or strategy for dealing with the constant negative Press,  "they" want you to believe there is something sinister in making those changes.  They do not know this,  but its the three day weekend news cycle,  the current Enemies of the State are looking at.  

 

 New York Times: Trump Returns to Crisis Over Kushner as White House Tries to Contain It  —  President Trump headed home on Saturday to confront a growing political and legal threat, as his top aides tried to contain the fallout from reports that his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is a focus of investigations

 

Editor:   This is the NY Times headline for the weekend.  It suggests that Jared Kushner is a guilty conspirator because the FBI is going to ask him a few questions.   There is no "fallout" to the apparent fact that he is going to asked a few question,  except as the Marxist Media frames their own version of "fallout." 

Understand that Trump and Company are not losing ground after all the 24/7 coordinated fantasy Press.  There is no "fallout" in terms of political consequences.  All of the Special Elections,  thus far,  have been won by the GOP.  His support within GOP membership has grown from 80% on November 8, of 2016,  to 84% to day.  close to 98% of folks voting for Trump in '16  (63 million folks),  would vote for him again.  And ABC/WaPost told us a month ago,  that Trump would beat Hillary in the popular vote   . . . . .  I said "popular vote"  . . . .  by 3% if the election was held today.  

Look,  you know that your Party is seriously wounded when it can't beat a political opponent who goes "throw down" with a reporter and still wins the election.  

Like Trump said,  "I could shoot somebody in the streets of New York and still win the election."  Starting to look like he was right. 

 

While the media world is making up stuff on Trump's son-in-law, the real news story is ignored.

Paul Sperry / New York Post: How Team Obama tried to hack the election  —  MORE FROM: … New revelations have surfaced that the Obama administration abused intelligence during the election by launching a massive domestic-spy campaign that included snooping on Trump officials. 

Editor:  So Trump was right from the get go ?  Yep.

Trump goes to Europe and continue to take leader in the areas most important to the United States.

In the end it was not meat to be. During Trump's first G-7 summit, world leaders including German Chancellor Angela Merkel and new French President Emmanuel Macron, had hoped to persuade the the US president to endorse the Paris Agreement climate pledge to fight global warming. By the end of the summit - held at a luxury hotel in Taormina, Sicily that was once a Dominican monastery and base for the Nazi air force during World War Two - they realized they had failed, as Trump "underscored his determination to break the global mold" by refusing to follow the Group of Seven line not only on global warming but also by resisting measures on trade.  News just released today,  tells us that some 23,000 terrorist entities exist within the borders of the UK, along, thanks to the feckless policies of France and,  especially,  Merkel's Germany. 

Nothing is written in stone,  at this early date in the Trump presidency,  but it looks like he will be amending the U.S. positions on Warming and trade.  In the end,  there will not be as much separation on these issues as the Marxist Media wants us all to believe,  but [practical] changes are coming.  After all,  the adults are back in town.

Obama knew about the Russian problem years before Trump and the 2016 elections . . . . years before Trump. How do we know? The CIA tells us so.

Michael Morell, the former acting director of the CIA under President Obama, said that the Obama administration “did nothing” to stop Russian interference in the presidential campaign.

Bob Woodward of Watergate fame, gives Trump a chance for a second term!

“I think there are so many people that are treating the Trump presidency as if it’s a tryout—as if it’s provisional. I was reading a column this morning that said Trump half won the presidency because he did not get the popular vote. He is president. Odds are he is probably going to be president for a full term, four years and maybe even more. There is hyperventilation. There is this kind of sense of too many people writing things like—when is the impeachment coming, how long will it last, will he make it through the summer, and so forth. No, there may be stuff that comes out, but it has to be hard evidence. I worry for the business and I worry for the perception of the business by people, not to just Trump supporters, but people that see that kind of smugness that they are talking about. You know, he was elected, the Constitution says he gets a full term.”

About that 23 million number . . . . multiply that by 3 and you have the number of folks who have ObamaCare in name only!

From the CBO report:     CBO and JCT estimate that enacting H.R. 1628 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027. CBO has not completed an estimate of the potential impact of the legislation on discretionary spending, which would be subject to future appropriation action.

Notes:  The Dims never want to  talk about their own bill,  you know,  the one that is going broke;  the one where more people have opted out than have joined, the one that forces you to pay 6,000 dollars in "deductibles" before it kicks in for the member   . . . . . . . yea, that one.

Who knows what the final bill will look like. The Senate has to write its bill and both houses have to reconcile their bills into one single legislative statement 

One thing for certain,  there are 60 - 90 million folks without insurance, today,  because they will never pay off their deductibles  . . . . . . they have insurance in name only.

Katy Perry speaks and ISIS listens ??????????

Jerome Hudson / Breitbart: Katy Perry on Manchester Bombing: ‘No Barriers, No Borders, We All Just Need to Co-Exist’  

Editor:  I am sorry but does this moron of big-tited woman think the ISIS thugs are listening to her?  Good grief.

Why are we arguing about Sean Hannity's comments? Because the Left has nothing else to talk about(?).

Joe Concha / The Hill:

Hannity on Seth Rich coverage: ‘I retracted nothing’  —  Fox News's [sic] Sean Hannity ripped his critics and the mainstream media on his nationally syndicated radio program Tuesday, saying, “I am not Fox.com or FoxNews.com, I retracted nothing.”  —  His reaction came hours after Fox News retracted … 

Editor:  I like Sean but I really don't care about the Seth Rich story,  one way or the other.  Just understand that Sean's comments are made on his popular radio show,  not on FoxNews.  He is entitled to his opinion,  and Fox to theirs.  End of story.  

Now let's get back the debate that really matters,  shall we?

Fake News story # 200: This time it is about the budget

Vox:   The budget broadly resembles plans put forward by now-House Speaker Paul Ryan, who as the House Budget Committee chair released a series of extremely aggressive budgets including trillions in cuts to programs for the poor. While Trump largely leaves Medicare and old-age insurance from Social Security unscathed, and boosts funding for border security, veterans, and defense, he cuts just about everything else.

What’s more, his budget assumes an extremely unrealistic economic growth rate — 3 percent, above the currently projected 1.9 percent — due to the administration’s tax plan. It appears the administration is counting on that growth both to pay for its spending in this budget and to pay for its tax cuts, meaning the budget doesn’t really add up at all.

Editor's notes:    

"He cuts . . . . everything else:"   So how come his budget is billions of dollars more than the present budget?  He cut the rate of expansion.  Does anyone on the Left understand "expansion?"  Apparently not.  The fact of the matter is this:  virtually all of government will see an increase in dollars,  just not as much as they were hoping.  

Point two:   Yes it spends more than it takes in,  just like every budget since Clinton and all Democrat budgets before Clinton.  If jobs growth is as predicted,  however,  the budget will balance,  unlike the budgets of the past.  You do know that the Democrats don't even believe in a "balanced budget."  

Now you know more than before, and,  if a Vox reporter,  you are [now] more confused than before.  

 

This happened in the 24 month period prior to the 2012 elections and we didn't hear a damn word about it until now. Thanks NY Times.

WASHINGTON — The Chinese government systematically dismantled C.I.A. spying operations in the country starting in 2010, killing or imprisoning more than a dozen sources over two years and crippling intelligence gathering there for years afterward.

Journalist Bob Woodward - stop “binge drinking the anti-Trump Kool-Aid.”

Washington Times:   Journalist Bob Woodward of Watergate fame has some advice for his younger peers — stop “binge drinking the anti-Trump Kool-Aid.”

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” invited Mr. Woodward on set Friday morning to discuss President Donald Trump’s administration. The veteran reporter warned that too many journalists are allowing confirmation bias [to] cloud their judgment.

“I think it’s time to dial back a little bit about because there are people around […] who are kind of binge drinking the anti-Trump Kool-Aid,” Mr. Woodward said, 

Editor:     So, how come Woodward is a descent sort of liberal and his pal,  Bernstein,  is such a biased jerk?

The Examiner and Bob Woodward do not stand alone in their momnet of epiphany.

Daily Caller:

An article published at the progressive website Vox argues Democrats and liberals are falling victim to fake news and conspiracy theories about Russia.
The piece, written by Zack Beauchamp, claims that “liberal conspiracy theories are flourishing in the age of Trump.”
The article claims that liberals and Democrats are increasingly falling for stories related to Russia that are not true.
The author also writes that Russia conspiracism “risks degrading the Democratic Party — helping elevate shameless hucksters who know nothing about policy but are willing to spread misinformation in the service of gaining power.”

Alan Dershowitz, Harvard law professor and a Democrate, says . . . .

President Trump's Saudi Speech transcript.

I want to thank King Salman for his extraordinary words, and the magnificent Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for hosting today’s summit. I am honored to be received by such gracious hosts. I have always heard about the splendor of your country and the kindness of your citizens, but words do not do justice to the grandeur of this remarkable place and the incredible hospitality you have shown us from the moment we arrived.

You also hosted me in the treasured home of King Abdulaziz, the founder of the Kingdom who united your great people. Working alongside another beloved leader – American President Franklin Roosevelt – King Abdulaziz began the enduring partnership between our two countries. King Salman: your father would be so proud to see that you are continuing his legacy – and just as he opened the first chapter in our partnership, today we begin a new chapter that will bring lasting benefits to our citizens.

Let me now also extend my deep and heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of the distinguished heads of state who made this journey here today. You greatly honor us with your presence, and I send the warmest regards from my country to yours. I know that our time together will bring many blessings to both your people and mine.

I stand before you as a representative of the American People, to deliver a message of friendship and hope. That is why I chose to make my first foreign visit a trip to the heart of the Muslim world, to the nation that serves as custodian of the two holiest sites in the Islamic Faith.



In my inaugural address to the American People, I pledged to strengthen America’s oldest friendships, and to build new partnerships in pursuit of peace. I also promised that America will not seek to impose our way of life on others, but to outstretch our hands in the spirit of cooperation and trust.


Our vision is one of peace, security, and prosperity—in this region, and in the world.

Our goal is a coalition of nations who share the aim of stamping out extremism and providing our children a hopeful future that does honor to God.

And so this historic and unprecedented gathering of leaders—unique in the history of nations—is a symbol to the world of our shared resolve and our mutual respect. To the leaders and citizens of every country assembled here today, I want you to know that the United States is eager to form closer bonds of friendship, security, culture and commerce.

For Americans, this is an exciting time. A new spirit of optimism is sweeping our country: in just a few months, we have created almost a million new jobs, added over 3 trillion dollars of new value, lifted the burdens on American industry, and made record investments in our military that will protect the safety of our people and enhance the security of our wonderful friends and allies – many of whom are here today.

Now, there is even more blessed news I am pleased to share with you. My meetings with King Salman, the Crown Prince, and the Deputy Crown Prince, have been filled with great warmth, good will, and tremendous cooperation. Yesterday, we signed historic agreements with the Kingdom that will invest almost $400 billion in our two countries and create many thousands of jobs in America and Saudi Arabia.

This landmark agreement includes the announcement of a $110 billion Saudi-funded defense purchase – and we will be sure to help our Saudi friends to get a good deal from our great American defense companies. This agreement will help the Saudi military to take a greater role in security operations.

We have also started discussions with many of the countries present today on strengthening partnerships, and forming new ones, to advance security and stability across the Middle East and beyond.

Later today, we will make history again with the opening of a new Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology – located right here, in this central part of the Islamic World.

This groundbreaking new center represents a clear declaration that Muslim-majority countries must take the lead in combatting radicalization, and I want to express our gratitude to King Salman for this strong demonstration of leadership.

I have had the pleasure of welcoming several of the leaders present today to the White House, and I look forward to working with all of you.

America is a sovereign nation and our first priority is always the safety and security of our citizens. We are not here to lecture—we are not here to tell other people how to live, what to do, who to be, or how to worship. Instead, we are here to offer partnership – based on shared interests and values – to pursue a better future for us all.

Here at this summit we will discuss many interests we share together. But above all we must be united in pursuing the one goal that transcends every other consideration. That goal is to meet history’s great test—to conquer extremism and vanquish the forces of terrorism.

Young Muslim boys and girls should be able to grow up free from fear, safe from violence, and innocent of hatred. And young Muslim men and women should have the chance to build a new era of prosperity for themselves and their peoples.

With God’s help, this summit will mark the beginning of the end for those who practice terror and spread its vile creed. At the same time, we pray this special gathering may someday be remembered as the beginning of peace in the Middle East – and maybe, even all over the world.

But this future can only be achieved through defeating terrorism and the ideology that drives it.

Few nations have been spared its violent reach.

America has suffered repeated barbaric attacks – from the atrocities of September 11th to the devastation of the Boston Bombing, to the horrible killings in San Bernardino and Orlando.

The nations of Europe have also endured unspeakable horror. So too have the nations of Africa and even South America. India, Russia, China and Australia have been victims.

But, in sheer numbers, the deadliest toll has been exacted on the innocent people of Arab, Muslim and Middle Eastern nations. They have borne the brunt of the killings and the worst of the destruction in this wave of fanatical violence.

Some estimates hold that more than 95 percent of the victims of terrorism are themselves Muslim.

We now face a humanitarian and security disaster in this region that is spreading across the planet. It is a tragedy of epic proportions. No description of the suffering and depravity can begin to capture its full measure.

The true toll of ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, and so many others, must be counted not only in the number of dead. It must also be counted in generations of vanished dreams.

The Middle East is rich with natural beauty, vibrant cultures, and massive amounts of historic treasures. It should increasingly become one of the great global centers of commerce and opportunity.

This region should not be a place from which refugees flee, but to which newcomers flock.

Saudi Arabia is home to the holiest sites in one of the world’s great faiths. Each year millions of Muslims come from around the world to Saudi Arabia to take part in the Hajj. In addition to ancient wonders, this country is also home to modern ones—including soaring achievements in architecture.

Egypt was a thriving center of learning and achievement thousands of years before other parts of the world. The wonders of Giza, Luxor and Alexandria are proud monuments to that ancient heritage.

All over the world, people dream of walking through the ruins of Petra in Jordan. Iraq was the cradle of civilization and is a land of natural beauty. And the United Arab Emirates has reached incredible heights with glass and steel, and turned earth and water into spectacular works of art.

The entire region is at the center of the key shipping lanes of the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, and the Straits of Hormuz. The potential of this region has never been greater. 65 percent of its population is under the age of 30. Like all young men and women, they seek great futures to build, great national projects to join, and a place for their families to call home.

But this untapped potential, this tremendous cause for optimism, is held at bay by bloodshed and terror. There can be no coexistence with this violence. There can be no tolerating it, no accepting it, no excusing it, and no ignoring it.

Every time a terrorist murders an innocent person, and falsely invokes the name of God, it should be an insult to every person of faith.

Terrorists do not worship God, they worship death.

If we do not act against this organized terror, then we know what will happen. Terrorism’s devastation of life will continue to spread. Peaceful societies will become engulfed by violence. And the futures of many generations will be sadly squandered.

If we do not stand in uniform condemnation of this killing—then not only will we be judged by our people, not only will we be judged by history, but we will be judged by God.

This is not a battle between different faiths, different sects, or different civilizations.

This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life, and decent people of all religions who seek to protect it.

This is a battle between Good and Evil.

When we see the scenes of destruction in the wake of terror, we see no signs that those murdered were Jewish or Christian, Shia or Sunni. When we look upon the streams of innocent blood soaked into the ancient ground, we cannot see the faith or sect or tribe of the victims – we see only that they were Children of God whose deaths are an insult to all that is holy.

But we can only overcome this evil if the forces of good are united and strong – and if everyone in this room does their fair share and fulfills their part of the burden.

Terrorism has spread across the world. But the path to peace begins right here, on this ancient soil, in this sacred land.

America is prepared to stand with you – in pursuit of shared interests and common security.

But the nations of the Middle East cannot wait for American power to crush this enemy for them. The nations of the Middle East will have to decide what kind of future they want for themselves, for their countries, and for their children.

It is a choice between two futures – and it is a choice America CANNOT make for you.

A better future is only possible if your nations drive out the terrorists and extremists. Drive. Them. Out.

DRIVE THEM OUT of your places of worship.

DRIVE THEM OUT of your communities.

DRIVE THEM OUT of your holy land, and

DRIVE THEM OUT OF THIS EARTH.

For our part, America is committed to adjusting our strategies to meet evolving threats and new facts. We will discard those strategies that have not worked—and will apply new approaches informed by experience and judgment. We are adopting a Principled Realism, rooted in common values and shared interests.

Our friends will never question our support, and our enemies will never doubt our determination. Our partnerships will advance security through stability, not through radical disruption. We will make decisions based on real-world outcomes – not inflexible ideology. We will be guided by the lessons of experience, not the confines of rigid thinking. And, wherever possible, we will seek gradual reforms – not sudden intervention.

We must seek partners, not perfection—and to make allies of all who share our goals.

Above all, America seeks peace – not war.

Muslim nations must be willing to take on the burden, if we are going to defeat terrorism and send its wicked ideology into oblivion.

The first task in this joint effort is for your nations to deny all territory to the foot soldiers of evil. Every country in the region has an absolute duty to ensure that terrorists find no sanctuary on their soil.

Many are already making significant contributions to regional security: Jordanian pilots are crucial partners against ISIS in Syria and Iraq. Saudi Arabia and a regional coalition have taken strong action against Houthi militants in Yemen. The Lebanese Army is hunting ISIS operatives who try to infiltrate their territory. Emirati troops are supporting our Afghan partners. In Mosul, American troops are supporting Kurds, Sunnis and Shias fighting together for their homeland. Qatar, which hosts the U.S. Central Command, is a crucial strategic partner. Our longstanding partnership with Kuwait and Bahrain continue to enhance security in the region. And courageous Afghan soldiers are making tremendous sacrifices in the fight against the Taliban, and others, in the fight for their country.

As we deny terrorist organizations control of territory and populations, we must also strip them of their access to funds. We must cut off the financial channels that let ISIS sell oil, let extremists pay their fighters, and help terrorists smuggle their reinforcements.

I am proud to announce that the nations here today will be signing an agreement to prevent the financing of terrorism, called the Terrorist Financing Targeting Center – co-chaired by the United States and Saudi Arabia, and joined by every member of the Gulf Cooperation Council. It is another historic step in a day that will be long remembered.

I also applaud the Gulf Cooperation Council for blocking funders from using their countries as a financial base for terror, and designating Hezbollah as a terrorist organization last year. Saudi Arabia also joined us this week in placing sanctions on one of the most senior leaders of Hezbollah.

Of course, there is still much work to do.

That means honestly confronting the crisis of Islamist extremism and the Islamist terror groups it inspires. And it means standing together against the murder of innocent Muslims, the oppression of women, the persecution of Jews, and the slaughter of Christians.

Religious leaders must make this absolutely clear: Barbarism will deliver you no glory – piety to evil will bring you no dignity. If you choose the path of terror, your life will be empty, your life will be brief, and YOUR SOUL WILL BE CONDEMNED.

And political leaders must speak out to affirm the same idea: heroes don’t kill innocents; they save them. Many nations here today have taken important steps to raise up that message. Saudi Arabia’s Vision for 2030 is an important and encouraging statement of tolerance, respect, empowering women, and economic development.

The United Arab Emirates has also engaged in the battle for hearts and souls—and with the U.S., launched a center to counter the online spread of hate. Bahrain too is working to undermine recruitment and radicalism.

I also applaud Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon for their role in hosting refugees. The surge of migrants and refugees leaving the Middle East depletes the human capital needed to build stable societies and economies. Instead of depriving this region of so much human potential, Middle Eastern countries can give young people hope for a brighter future in their home nations and regions.

That means promoting the aspirations and dreams of all citizens who seek a better life – including women, children, and followers of all faiths. Numerous Arab and Islamic scholars have eloquently argued that protecting equality strengthens Arab and Muslim communities.

For many centuries the Middle East has been home to Christians, Muslims and Jews living side-by-side. We must practice tolerance and respect for each other once again—and make this region a place where every man and woman, no matter their faith or ethnicity, can enjoy a life of dignity and hope.

In that spirit, after concluding my visit in Riyadh, I will travel to Jerusalem and Bethlehem, and then to the Vatican – visiting many of the holiest places in the three Abrahamic Faiths. If these three faiths can join together in cooperation, then peace in this world is possible – including peace between Israelis and Palestinians. I will be meeting with both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Starving terrorists of their territory, their funding, and the false allure of their craven ideology, will be the basis for defeating them.

But no discussion of stamping out this threat would be complete without mentioning the government that gives terrorists all three—safe harbor, financial backing, and the social standing needed for recruitment. It is a regime that is responsible for so much instability in the region. I am speaking of course of Iran.

From Lebanon to Iraq to Yemen, Iran funds, arms, and trains terrorists, militias, and other extremist groups that spread destruction and chaos across the region. For decades, Iran has fueled the fires of sectarian conflict and terror.

It is a government that speaks openly of mass murder, vowing the destruction of Israel, death to America, and ruin for many leaders and nations in this room.

Among Iran’s most tragic and destabilizing interventions have been in Syria. Bolstered by Iran, Assad has committed unspeakable crimes, and the United States has taken firm action in response to the use of banned chemical weapons by the Assad Regime – launching 59 tomahawk missiles at the Syrian air base from where that murderous attack originated.

Responsible nations must work together to end the humanitarian crisis in Syria, eradicate ISIS, and restore stability to the region. The Iranian regime’s longest-suffering victims are its own people. Iran has a rich history and culture, but the people of Iran have endured hardship and despair under their leaders’ reckless pursuit of conflict and terror.

Until the Iranian regime is willing to be a partner for peace, all nations of conscience must work together to isolate Iran, deny it funding for terrorism, and pray for the day when the Iranian people have the just and righteous government they deserve.

The decisions we make will affect countless lives.

King Salman, I thank you for the creation of this great moment in history, and for your massive investment in America, its industry and its jobs. I also thank you for investing in the future of this part of the world.

This fertile region has all the ingredients for extraordinary success – a rich history and culture, a young and vibrant people, a thriving spirit of enterprise. But you can only unlock this future if the citizens of the Middle East are freed from extremism, terror and violence.

We in this room are the leaders of our peoples. They look to us for answers, and for action. And when we look back at their faces, behind every pair of eyes is a soul that yearns for justice.

Today, billions of faces are now looking at us, waiting for us to act on the great question of our time.

Will we be indifferent in the presence of evil? Will we protect our citizens from its violent ideology? Will we let its venom spread through our societies? Will we let it destroy the most holy sites on earth? If we do not confront this deadly terror, we know what the future will bring—more suffering and despair. But if we act—if we leave this magnificent room unified and determined to do what it takes to destroy the terror that threatens the world—then there is no limit to the great future our citizens will have.

The birthplace of civilization is waiting to begin a new renaissance. Just imagine what tomorrow could bring.

Glorious wonders of science, art, medicine and commerce to inspire humankind. Great cities built on the ruins of shattered towns. New jobs and industries that will lift up millions of people. Parents who no longer worry for their children, families who no longer mourn for their loved ones, and the faithful who finally worship without fear.

These are the blessings of prosperity and peace. These are the desires that burn with a righteous flame in every human heart. And these are the just demands of our beloved peoples.

I ask you to join me, to join together, to work together, and to FIGHT together— BECAUSE UNITED, WE WILL NOT FAIL.

Thank you. God Bless You. God Bless Your Countries. And God Bless the United States of America.
