Who does Hillary blame for her loss more than all the other possibilities? Obama !!!!

Mike Allen / Axios:
Team Hillary blames Obama more than Putin  —  The worst-kept secret inside Democratic circles is how bitter Hillary Clinton's team is at President Obama over her election loss.  We have heard from numerous, anguished people in Clinton-land blaming Obama — more than Putin, FBI Director James Comey or . . . .

Notes:  I agree with Hillary.  She desperately needed to separate herself from the resident Loser,  but he simply would not allow that to happen.  Understand that Obama can win an election,  but he can't win an election for anyone else.  The Left loves to talk about his popularity  --  aka,  the fact that they would prefer to drink beer with the man.  At the same time,  everyone else knows that his agenda was taking the nation "in the wrong direction" (70% of the electorate two weeks before the election  -  ABC News).  

Three months before the election,  Barack was asked about whether or not his Justice department was continuing to investigated Hillary.  He answered, "No,"  but,  followed that with, "Justice could reopen the investigation at anytime should new developments require."  In other words,  he was threatening Hillary should she decide to separate herself from his failed policies.  

He is a backstabbing classless fool which makes him exceedingly dangerous.  No wonder Hillary hates this man with a passion. 

The hypocrisy of the left reveals their anti-American bent.

The day before he left office,  Barack brought in 840 refugees but refused 91 Cuban refugees escaping the Communist regime of Cuba.  The hypocrisy on this matter stinks and tells us where the Democrats and their leader are coming from.  

Understand that nearly all members  of the eight year long immigration surge coming to an end,  are folks who have no appreciation for our Constitution nor [many of the] laws that extend from the Constitution.  It's all a part of the plan to "fundamentally transform the United States of America." I am saying that these folks would not oppose changing our form of governance from a representative republic to a "compassionate dictatorship" such as that of Barack Obama.  We know this because most of these folks supported Barack's effort to govern away from the Congressional process.  

What do Americans think of Trump's immigration pause?

Rasmussen:  60% approve

Quinnipiac :  48% in favor.  34% opposed.  

Clearly,  the Progressive Movement,  Marxist to its core,  is not about "the people."  Rather,  this is all about bringing back Democrat donors and revitalizing the lost Democrat base.    

Question:  What if we are looking at the Democrat base in total,  all of which are standing in airports across the nation,  demonstrating  "detentions" that have already been resolved?   

Now it begins: Barack encourages civil unrest.

Politico:  Barack Obama spoke out Monday afternoon against his successor,  and,   in support of the protests opposing President Donald Trump with a spokesman saying the former president thinks they're “citizens exercising their Constitutional right. 

We should not be surprised with this bit of news (above).  After all,  Barack is a community organizer who believes in "muscular diplomacy."  In his private "practice," he would field a complaint,  meet with the targeted banks and businesses in the cross-hairs of the complaining civilian groups seeking consideration (money and/or favors),  demand reciprocity,  and move on to the next assignment.  The muscular aspect of his work involved threats of boycotts,  lawsuits,  humiliation in the press,  and the physical harassment of company employees including presidents and CEO's. 

When it comes to the current distress,  Barack encourages in-street violence,  vandalism in the name of social justice,  and violent opposition to law and order.  Muscular diplomacy?  Oh yeah.  Understand that Marxism believes that civil unrest to whatever extreme,  ends in a transformation of governmental standards and social norms.    

The U.S. government has granted waivers to let 872 refugees into the country this week.


Reuters:   The U.S. government has granted waivers to let 872 refugees into the country this week, despite President Donald Trump's executive order on Friday temporarily banning entry of refugees from any country, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security document seen by Reuters.
A Homeland Security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the waivers, noting that the refugees were considered "in transit" and had already been cleared for resettlement before the ban took effect.
Refugees preparing for resettlement typically have severed personal ties and relinquished their possessions, leaving them particularly vulnerable if their plans to depart are suddenly canceled.
The waivers, granted by the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), came amid international protests against Trump's rushed executive order. Critics said the order in some cases was not clearly communicated to the agencies responsible for implementing it.

Everything you wanted to know about Melania Trump but were afraid to ask.


Subject: Melania Trumpp

Melania is widely recognized as Donald Trump's "Trophy Wife."
 
But there's a side of Mrs. Trump most people have yet to see - until now.

Melanija Knavs was born on April 26, 1970 in the small Slovenian railroad town of Sevnica - long before she changed the spelling of her name to pursue a modeling career.
 
Despite the struggles many Slovenians faced during the country's Communist times, the Knavses worked extremely hard to give their children a positive upbringing.

Melania's mother, Amalija Ulcnik, worked developing patterns at a factory that manufactured children's clothing. She had met Viktor Knavs in 1966 who worked as a chauffeur for a nearby town's mayor.
They instilled Melania and her sister with conservative values such as putting family first and having exceptional work ethic. After looking at the picture of Melania's parents below, it's clear she inherited their timeless good looks too!

"I love my childhood. It was a beautiful childhood," Melania said. Her son, Barron (10), speaks Slovenian fluently and uses it to speak with his grandparents, who now live near the Trumps in New York at Trump Tower.
Melania's father left his job as a chauffeur to become a salesman at a state-owned car company in Ljubljana, Slovenia and found his family an apartment there - all to provide his children with exceptional education opportunities with their new prestigious address.

Amalija's career as a seamstress had a profound impact on Melania. Once Melania learned to draw, she would sketch her own designs, and her mother or sister, Ines, would sew them. Melania also made her own jewelry.
Amalija spent evenings after work sewing clothing for herself and her two daughters. Instead of wearing clothes from the store, the Knavses designed and sewed everything they wore. Melania's childhood friends remember her always being dressed elegantly and carrying herself with confidence - there was always something striking about her.
2D8FCD7000000578-3279399-image-m-40_1445376480177
Melania's modeling career began when she was 16-years-old at a modeling contest when she attracted the attention of photographer Stane Jerko, whose test photos of the breathtaking teenager resulted in her signing with a modeling agency in Milan.
 
Despite her success as a model, Melania's goal was to become a designer. So she applied to the School of Architecture at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia, becoming one of the few to pass the school's notoriously difficult entrance exams.
2D8FC0D300000578-3279399-image-m-25_1445376353508
While pursuing her degree in design and architecture, Melania remained focused in school. She didn't drink, or party, nor did she smoke. Even with the temptations surrounding her as a college student and successful model, Melania lived a quiet homebound life.
"She kept to herself, she was a loner. After a shoot or a catwalk, she went home, not out. She didn't want to waste time partying," Jerko remembers. After obtaining a degree in design and architecture at the University of Ljubljana, Melania was jetting between photo shoots in Paris and Milan - but Melania had even bigger dreams. Melania knew that if she wanted to achieve her goals she would have to move to America. Melania finally made it to New York in 1996 after landing an American modeling contract - but nothing could prepare for the struggles that were down the road. Shortly after she began pursuing her modeling dreams in America, Melania struggled to find work because she was considered "too old." The modeling industry isn't friendly to models once they hit their later twenties, and at just 26-years-old, Melania was worried her best days were already behind her. Melania went to castings every day, but photographers continued picking someone else over her, and often someone younger. She was having a difficult time supporting herself, and endured the challenging season while being overseas, away from her tight-knit family back in Slovenia. Eventually, Melania got her "big break" and it wasn't long before she graced the magazines covers of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, British GQ, In Style, New York Magazine, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Allure, Self, Glamour, Vanity Fair, and Elle. But nothing could prepare her for the life-changing experience she would eventually encounter during her thriving modeling career... While at a party during the New York Fashion Week in the fall of 1998, Melania met Donald Trump. She was a tall, shy brunette at just 28-years-old - while Trump was a brash 52-year-old real estate mogul. "I didn't know much about Donald Trump," she says of their first encounter. "I had my life, I had my world. I didn't follow Donald Trump and what kind of life he had." Although Trump attended the party with a date, he was instinctively drawn to Melania. When Trump's date went to the bathroom, he seized the opportunity to chat for a few minutes with the Slovenian model he'd noticed. Unlike the women who swooned every time the famous billionaire approached them, Melania remained unimpressed. When Trump asked for her number, she refused and instead asked for HIS contact information - she didn't want to be just another woman he called, and she waited an entire week before calling him. Melania was curious to see if Trump would submit a business number. "I wanted to see what his intention is," she explains. "It tells you a lot from the man what kind of number he gives you. He gave me all of his numbers." Melania's confidence and shocking reaction to the wealthy playboy made Trump even more attracted to her. Trump could tell Melania was beautiful AND intelligent, and he was willing to do whatever it took to win the woman of his dreams. "I'm not star struck," she explains. "We had a great connection, we had great chemistry, but I was not star struck. And maybe he noticed that." Many are quick to criticize Donald and Melania's marriage due to their age difference, but after learning more about Melania - it's easy to understand that these two were made for each other. Melania's reserved personality and traditional values balance Trump's assertive personality and controversial behavior. Melania's traditional values can be seen in her absence from Trump's campaign trail. Instead of being on the road with her husband, Melania chose to be at home in New York City to raise their 10-year-old son, Barron. Despite the Trumps' luxurious lifestyle, Melania refuses to let their son be raised by a nanny. "It's my choice not to be there [on the campaign trail]," Melania said. "I support my husband 100 percent, but ... we have a 10-year-old son together, Barron, and I'm raising him." "This is the age he needs a parent at home," she added. When Donald Trump told his wife he wanted to run for president, Melania said they discussed it in depth and she encouraged him to run. "I encouraged him because I know what he will do and what he can do for America," she said. "He loves the American people and he wants to help them." Although she's not out on the campaign trail, Melania stays involved in her husband's campaign behind-the-scenes. "She's told me a couple of times during the debate, she was very happy with my performances, if you would want to call them a performance," Donald Trump said. "But she said, 'You could tone it down a little bit on occasion,' which I understand." "She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue." - Proverbs 31:26 Melania revealed the biggest untruth about her husband is the perception that he's "nasty." "He's not," Melania said. "He has a big heart and [a] very warm heart. You see who he is on the campaign trail all the time and on television, and I think - you know America needs a strong leader and a tough leader and [he] knows what he's doing." "He is who he is," she says. "Even if you give him advice, he will maybe take it in, but then he will do it the way he wants to do it. You cannot change a person. Let them be. Let them be the way they are." Melania's passion for philanthropy are just a glimpse of the difference she could make as our First Lady. Some of the philanthropic causes she's been involved with include the Martha Graham Dance Company, the Police Athletic League, the Boys Club of New York, The American Red Cross and Love Our Children USA. "She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy." - Proverbs 31:20 Though she may not have experience in politics, Melania Trump is equipped to help her husband out on the diplomatic front: in addition to her native Slovenian, Melania speaks four other languages: English, French, Serbian and German. "She's an incredible mother, she loves her son, Barron, so much. And I have to say, she will make an unbelievable First Lady," Donald Trump said. "She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness." - Proverbs 31:27 Melania Trump's life story is a vivid illustration of the American dream. Her humble roots, exceptional work ethic, and devotion to family clearly sets her apart. If Melania can make it all the way from Slovenia to the White House, there's no excuse for excuses, liberals. "She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come." - Proverbs 31:25 Did you learn something new about Donald Trump's "Trophy Wife?" We love you, Melania Trump! America could use a First Lady like you.

It looks like "they" are winning, but they are not.

according to Rasmussen:
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 57 percent of Likely U.S. Voters favor a temporary ban on refugees from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen until the federal government approves its ability to screen out potential terrorists form coming here. Thirty-three percent are opposed, while 10 percent are undecided.

Similarly, 56 percent favor a temporary block on visas prohibiting residents of Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen from entering the United States until the government approves its ability to screen for likely terrorists. Thirty-two percent oppose this temporary ban, and 11 percent are undecided.

Immigration Update: All immigrants detained over the weekend have passed through the systems and have been released with . . . . . .

Immigration Update:  All immigrants detained over the weekend have passed through the system and have been released with two exceptions.  Yes, two immigrants were sent back.  They had no standing to be in our country and there does not appear to be any legal challenge to their return.  

This is not a "ban,"  only a 120 day pause until the US gets its act together after eight years of sitting around and doing next to nothing.  Only 8% of all Muslims are affected.  And,  the list of the seven nations came from Obama,  himself.  

Civil war is the only purpose for the Dem's response.  They are good at it.  After all,  they started the Civil War back in 1860.  

The case for the "nuclear option" now. Waiting until the process begins may end GOP chances to influence the High Court.

Burgess Everett / Politico:
Senate Dems will filibuster Trump's Supreme Court nominee  


Notes:  Apparently,  the two men remaining on President Trump's list,  were unanimous appointees to the Federal Court at the time of of their approval to the court. Judge Neil Gorsuch was approved in the Senate (2006) by a simple voice vote,  and Judge Thomas Hardiman won 96 - 0 in the Senate, also in 2006.  Now,  the Dems have said they intend to filibuster either.  Of course,  the fact of the matter is this:  the Dems intend to filibuster anyone Trump appoints.  Their only purpose is to negate the election result. The threatened filibuster is a strategy Dems plan on using throughout President Trump's term,  especially as it relates to the Supreme Court.  

I believe this decision will leave the GOP with no choice but to take down the filibuster for Supreme Court appointees.  The Dems took down the filibuster for all lower court appointees back in 2013.  There is no doubt that if the Dems retake the Senate,  they will immediately cancel out the filibuster in an effort to support their own partisan cause.  

With present filibuster rules,  the Dems could filibuster for years.  If that is the situation,  the GOP would lose the opportunity to appoint judges to the High Court.  Decisions have to be made now.  Hopefully the GOP leadership has a plan for dealing with this situation.  If not, they will fall victim to Senate rules and their own sense of political myopia   . . . . . .   again. 

My only remaining question is this:  can the Senate consider two choices at the same time and under differing filibuster rules?  The answer is "probably not."  But,  if "not,"  the GOP cannot wait for the filibuster to begin.  They have to act now. 

Immigrant detainees update - 329,000 immirgrants passed through on Saturday, alone, with 109 experiencing delayed questioning.

Fro starters,  the Left is getting exercised about a 30 to 120 dealy  . . .   which is a ban.

Secondly,  only 8% of the world's Muslim population is affected   . . . .  hardly a "ban on Muslims." 

Third,  the 7 nations mentioned in the executive action came from a list generated by the Obama Administration  . . . .  so take a seat while you all are bitching. 

Regarding McCain/Lindsey complaint  -  "It is clear from the confusion at our airports across the nation that President Trump's executive order was not properly vetted."  Not true.

170 Green Card folks have applied for waivers in the past two days.  All 170 Green Card holders have been approved and passed through our airports. 

If the Administration had given notice of this executive action, our airports would have had to deal with a rush of immigrants "beating" the deadline for the beginning of this action.  Such a warning would have been grossly incompetent.  

The order was first reviewed by a number of lawyers lead by Mayor Giuliani, Senator King, and a number of attorneys. 

329,000 passed through our airports with 109 having to undergo more involved questioning.  That's it.  We are talking Mountains and Mole Hills.

No surprise. An Obama/Schumer appointed judge has temporarily stopped legal immigration orders from the White House.

Ann Donnelly is her name. She was among Barack Hussein's first federal court appointments in 2009.  She is a committed New York liberal and obvious activist.  
   
Understand that what Trump is doing,  or attempting to accomplish,  is the reversal of decades of Marxist activism,  beginning back in the days of Joe McCarthy, an admitted drunk,  but a man who was on the right track in his charge against Commun-ism and its advancing influence in this country.  Commun-ism's advancement started with the ending of WW II and became a "popular" national effort in Hollywood by the end of the 1950's.   By the mid-1960's,  much of the Boomer generation was college bound and proudly Marxist.  The Vietnam War gave them a righteous cause,  and the rest is history  (as they say). 

No one wants the kind of conflict and radical in-your-face rebellion that is being threatened by the Democrat Party,  but if not now,  when?  That is the question of the day.  The use of violence has been a long held tool used by the New Progressive Party.  Trump and 73 million approving Americans stand in the gap,  proud to be "American,"  proud to wave the flag, proud to make the kind of change that allow for the pursuit of happiness for all of us.  

Violence is the name of the game for the Dems.  Hopefully,  we can keep the coming change a non-violent event,  but make no mistake,  there are millions within the Democrat Party willing to burn our cities,  kill our cops,  invade our country across our Southern Border, and ignore established Constitutional provision to get the kind of European commun-ist world they seem to adore.   They have been doing it since the 1960's.

Its white knuckle time,  and "they" are not the only ones willing to stand up and fight.   We must not lose heart in the pursuit of domestic/recovery.  Sadly,  it is time to fight fire with fire.  Just know that President Trump is not the beginning of the battle.  It began when conservatives walked away from GW Bush and the Progressives within the GOP,  back in 2006.  Things could not have appeared darker than with the elections in 2008.  But, just two years later (2010),  the seemingly unstoppable Progressive conspiracy suffered its first epic defeat,  lost 3.5 million of their 2008 domestic vote  majority in their victory in 2012,  was humiliated in 2014,  and,  now,  has experienced a transfer of political power beginning with 2016 and the evolution of a historic patriotic resurgence.  

Divide and conquer is the order of the day.  It is the agenda of the Left.  It must become the accepted and persistent agenda of the Right.  

The fantasy of Trump and his Muslim ban only exists on the pages of the Third Progressive Party, aka "the media."

Seven countries are on Trump's list,  totaling less than 180 million Muslims.  There are 1.4 billion Muslims in the world.  The notion that Trump's ban is a "Muslim ban" is as big a lie as has been told,  to date.  The truth is this:  there are 1.2 billion Muslims not on Trump's list.  On the map, below,  the first six nations plus Turkey,  have a total Muslim population of 1 billion  . . . . .    so stop with the crap lie that Trump is anti-Muslim.


Guide to "Liberal/rhetorical interaction with the people they seek to dominate:"

1) "Dressing up as a giant vagina in public" -- The best way to preserve the dignity of women.
2) “Nazi” – Germans who attempted to take over the world during WWII and members of the American Nazi Party. Oh, and Donald Trump….And Mitt Romney, too. George W. Bush? Of course! Definitely all the Tea Party members and the people who voted for Trump. Conservatives in general? Sure. Come to think of it, pretty much every American who doesn’t agree with any part of the liberal agenda.
3) “Fetus” – A life-sucking parasite with no soul that feeds off the life of a woman and should be destroyed via abortion before you have a party celebrating its demise, unless you want the fetus, in which case it’s a sweet, loving baby.
4) “Corporate Welfare” – Something that’s horrible and should never happen unless it involves Planned Parenthood, PBS or NPR.
5) “Fake News” – News from non-liberal sources which are, by definition, fake because they make you stick your hands in your ears and yell, “La-La-La, I don’t want to hear from conservatives, la-la-la!”
6) “Stolen Election” – Relatively close elections that Republicans must have won with the help of Vladimir Putin, Jeb Bush or the Koch brothers.
7) “Homophobes” – Christians who believe in the almost universally agreed upon standards of male/female marriage that existed for thousands of years until liberals decided that the foundation of our civilization isn’t trendy enough.
8) “Xenophobe” – Americans who believe we should put our country’s interests ahead of other nations like Mexico, Iran and France.
9) “Diversity” – A group of liberals who agree on every single issue, but also happen to be gay, black, female, Hispanic or transsexual.
10) “Investment” – Wasting billions of dollars on useless government programs and giveaways that produce nothing of value.
11) “White Privilege” – The special superpowers gifted to white people that insure that there will never be a black President and all white people will always be wealthy and successful without having to work for it.
12) “The constitution is a living, breathing document.” – If there are enough liberals on a court, they can ignore the law and override democracy to implement a left-wing agenda.
13) “Patriotism” – Hatefully complaining about every real or imaginary fault of America while unfavorably comparing our country to places like Cuba and China.
14) “Violent rhetoric” – Words like “crossfire,” “job killing,”  “crosshairs,” and “targeted” when used by Republicans.
15) “Detroit” – An extremely liberal city in a liberal state that must have been run into the ground and bankrupted by Republicans despite the fact that it hasn’t had a Republican mayor since 1962.
16) “Radical Islam” – Words you’re not supposed to say because it may make people who are trying to kill us in the name of their religion mad.
17) “Choice” – A wonderful thing when it comes to killing babies, but awful when it’s applied to guns, schools, opting out of Social security or having less government in your life.
18) “Rape Culture” – When men want to have sex with women and worse yet, don’t bother to use consent forms for everything from hand holding to dirty sex on the hood of a car.
19) “Vagina hats” – What you wear to let everyone know you’re serious people.
20) “Love Trumps Hate” – Screaming obscenities, smashing windows and assaulting people to show that you’re loving and they’re hateful.

 Scrapping the Trans-Pacific Partnership

 Advancing the Dakota Access

Advancing Keystone XL Pipelines

Freezing the federal workforce

 Promoting “Made-in-the-USA” pipelines

Expediting Environmental Reviews on Infrastructure Projects

 Increasing border security measures to include the hiring of 5,000 border agents,  planning the design and construction of the border wall/fence,  add measures that present local and state law enforcement as immigration officers,  ending "catch and release,"

 Pursuit of undocumented immigrants  all illegal immigrants are included in this action,  but no mass deportations are featured (Trump no longer believes in the mass deportation of illegal immigrants except in the case of criminal activity.  Create an “Office for Victims of Crimes Committed by Removable Aliens” to “provide proactive, timely, adequate and professional services to victims of crimes committed by removable aliens and family members of such victims.”    Reinstate the Secure Communities program, which was terminated in 2014 by Obama,  and, enables state and local law enforcement to effectively act as immigration agents.   Hire 10,000 additional immigration officers at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, subject to the availability of existing funding.   Sanction countries, with the help of the secretary of state, that refuse to accept the return of undocumented immigrants deported from the U.S.     Prohibit federal funding, with the help of the attorney general, to “sanctuary” jurisdictions, where local officials have declined to help enforce federal immigration laws. Finally, create a list of crimes committed by undocumented immigrants in sanctuary jurisdictions to be published on a weekly basis. 

Suspend the Visa Interview Waiver Program, which allows certain people renewing their visas to skip an in-person interview, reevaluate existing visa and refugee programs, 

Suspends the entry of all “immigrants and nonimmigrants” from Iraq, Iran, Sudan and Libya for a period of 90 days. This may also apply to citizens of Libya, Yemen and Somalia depending on the interpretation.

Bar all Syrian refugees for an indefinite period

Directs the secretary of state, the secretary of homeland security, the director of national intelligence, and the director of the FBI to implement uniform screening standards for all immigration programs.  Currently,  no such effort exists. 

Directs the secretary of homeland security, the director of national intelligence and secretary of state to put together a list of countries that do not provide adequate information to vet potential entry of foreign nationals into the United States. Foreign nationals from those countries will be banned from entering the United States.

 Strengthening the military
The president on Friday issued a presidential memorandum directing the secretary of defense, James Mattis, to conduct a review on the military’s readiness in the next 30 days and develop a budget for fiscal 2018 capable of improving the “readiness conditions.” He also directed Mattis to complete a National Defense Strategy and to review the country’s nuclear capabilities and missile-defense capabilities.

The Times and the WaPost team up to create a third party. Problem: Trump came to town with his own media and 50 million folks on Twitter/Facebook.

New York Times: Trump's First Week: Misfires, Crossed Wires and a Satisfied Smile  

Ruth Marcus / Washington Post: Trump's erratic first week was among the most alarming in history

Actually,  Trump's first week far exceeded expectations.  He won the support of Big Labor,  the Auto Industry,  Construction Unions,  and, Theresa May,  as he fulfilled one campaign promise after another.  

His representation for the American Working Man is the driving force, here.  The 73 million voting Americans (and counting) who are watching with approval,  are witnessing a CEO who knows what the hell he is doing and is on the job  . . . . . . . . .  not on the freaking golf course or running all over the nation raising money and giving speeches.  Enough of that pointless crap.       

He walked into the face of death and defended the flag . . . and his employer, FedEx, is standing behind him.

If they can burn the flag,  others certainly have the right to put out the fire in their own demonstration for this nation.   Expect to see more of the same.  They have been burning our flag, vandalizing our cities,  killing our cops and spitting on our soldiers for decades.  That stops right here,  right now.  They want a war,  they got a war.


Chris Wallace of Fox News believes Trump has made it extremely difficult to repairt damage done to the Mexico/US relationship. We say, "B.S."

Chris Wallace is no fan of President Trump,  but not as radically opposed to the President as is the FoxNews resident know-it-all,  Shep Smith.  In an interview on Fox, Friday,  Wallace made it clear that he thought Trump's mouth had put the Prez in a very difficult situation with Mexico.  

This Review says,  "B.S." to that commentary.  

Look,  Trump is a novice when it comes to "politics," but he is hardly a novice CEO.  He and Mexico's president talked for more than an hour,  late Friday.  Both men are quoted as saying the phone conversation was positive/productive.  The Wall Street Journal reported that President Trump had agreed to resisting the temptation of making public reference to his discussions regarding the financing of the Southern Border Wall. 

If this report is true,  it points to the fact that our President is not a narcissist.   Instead,  he is a business man, par excellence, learning the ways of political diplomacy.  

It is a remarkable thing to watch this man grow into his job as President.  Two years ago,  he knew little about the job,  and,  hated the political class.  Today,  he knows a great deal about the evil world,  still hates the press and will defeat that part of the media that is Marxist or global in its allegiances,  and is clearly ready to lead America back to its days of leadership in this world.  

Theresa May, in a joint press conference on Friday,  made this statement:  "A bolder, confident America is good for the world,"  indicating that she believes this is where President Trump is taking the once great nation.   

If there is any doubt as to whether Nikki Haley is on the Trump Train, maybe this will settle the matter:

Clearly,  it is America first and 73 million Americans agree.*


"For those that don't have our back, we're taking names, we will make points to respond to that accordingly.  Our goal with the administration is to show value at the U.N. and the way that we'll show value is to show our strength, show our voice, have the backs of our allies and make sure that our allies have our back as well."

Trump will give special attention to Christian refugees.

Carol Morello / Washington Post:
Trump signs order temporarily halting admission of refugees, promises priority for Christians  . . . . . .  CBN tells us that persecuted Christian refugees will be given priority


Notes:   Before you start complaining,  understand that Barack took in 10,000 Syrian refugees,  only 56 of which were Christians  . . . .  10,000 to 56 !!  While the number of Christian refugees was roughly the same as Muslims,  in 2016,  the number of Christians from the Middle East,  was a gross minority.  

Also,  President Trump promises to build or help provide for safe zones (housing and all) the Middle East refugees seeking a home away from home.

A Summary of Trump's first week in office, making Obama look like the novice he was and is.

President Trump’s first week was a busy one,  perhaps the busiest in modern, post WW II history.  It was not the number of actions taken by Trump this week,  but the kinds of actions that made this week as big a week as any of previous presidents;  four executive orders and eight memorandums.  The four executive orders did the following: 
  • Beginning the process of overturning the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare;
  • Expediting environmental reviews and approvals for high-profile infrastructure projects;
  • Border Wall:  Start work on the planning and eventual construction of a 1,900-mile long wall at the southern border with Mexico; add 5,000 new border protection officers;
  • Address additional immigration issues, including the elimination of federal funds for "sanctuary cities" which refuse to hand over or detain undocumented immigrants. 
  • Ordering  calls for hiring of 10,000 additional immigration officers.
  • Launch a review of military assets to determine equipment and training upgrades, address future threats.
  • Allow for increased vetting of refugees from seven predominately Muslim countries.
  • Temporary (90 days) end to immigrants coming from Somalia, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Ywemen and the Sudan. 
In addition to the four executive orders,  he signed 8 memorandums setting in motion the following: 
  • Rolling back federal regulations put in place by the Obama administration;
  • Restricting US funding for international organizations that provide abortion services
  • Withdrawing the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership
  • Instituted a hiring free for most federal positions
  • Stipulated that new pipeline construction should be made using American-produced materials
  • Clears way for restarting construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline
  • Restarts process of work on the Dakota Access Pipeline
  • Streamlines permitting and reducing regulatory burdens for domestic manufacturers
He also pledged to take down 75% of all federal regulations and reduce the size of the EPA by 50%.  

Understand that Reid's Senate was the least productive in American history.  He held in his desk,  more than 340 bills sent to the Senate from the House.  These legislative actions had passed the House.  Reid chose to not put them into committee,  effectively killing most of the House's legislation without ever seeing a Senate floor discussion. 

The bad news for Obama's "legacy" is the fact that 80% of his so-called "accomplishments" or legacy,  was not the product of legislation.  Trump,  for the most part,  can take down these "legacy items" with the stroke of the pin,  and do so legally.

CNN is 24/7 "Anti-Trump" and it is costing the network market share and ad dollars . . . . big time.

CNN:     
Forget the first 100 days. It’s only been a week and Donald Trump is reinventing the presidency.Amid a torrent of action, disruption and protest, the new President’s moves on trade, immigration and foreign policy have honored his campaign promises — and dramatically reshaped Washington’s role in national and global affairs……But the determination to keep campaign promises is verging on an obsession inside the Trump White House.

Trump is "obsessing" in his determination to keep his promises??????   Sounds like promise keeping is a bad thing. 

This nonsensical comment,  and related rhetoric may be paving the way for CNN's demise.  Here is the NY Times on this matter: 

The New York Times:

Unfortunately, in the past 20 months CNN’s management has let down its viewers and its journalists by sidelining the issues and real reporting in favor of pundits, prognostication and substance-free but entertaining TV “moments.”

By branding CNN  as a political party,  Trump is challenging CNN's existence as a news corporation.  Who turns to the DNC for the "news of the day?"  No one.  If Trump can successfully reframe CNN as a political entity,  viewer will go down  . . . .   and that is the point of the Times comment. 

 

Maybe the number is not 3 to 5 million illegals voting. Still, but the number IS substantial.


From The Washington Times:
Based on national polling by a consortium of universities, a report by Mr. Richman said 6.4 percent of the estimated 20 million adult noncitizens in the U.S. voted in November. He extrapolated that that percentage would have added 834,381 net votes for Mrs. Clinton, who received about 2.8 million more votes than Mr. Trump.

Mr. Richman calculated that Mrs. Clinton would have collected 81 percent of noncitizen votes.
“Is it plausible that non-citizen votes added to Clinton’s margin? Yes,” Mr. Richman wrote. “Is it plausible that non-citizen votes account for the entire nation-wide popular vote margin held by Clinton? Not at all.”

What's wrong in this video of Trump leaving for the RNC summit?

He salutes his military,  appropriately,  climbs the steps of Air Force One,  and,   enters the cabin without turning and waving at the press.  Me?  I think it is funny that the media is having to deal with someone they simply cannot take down. 



Sanctuary Cities and the Dems resistece: Its beginning to crumble

Patricia Mazzei / miamiherald:
Miami-Dade mayor orders jails to comply with Trump crackdown on ‘sanctuary’ counties  


If the Dems think violating Federal law is as simple as ignoring said law,  then we are, indeed, living in an age of lawlessness.  Such is Progressive domestic policy,  practicing lawlessness when they think such is demanded.  

Examples extend beyond violating federal law on immigrant criminals.  Vandalism in the name of free speech  ("no justice, no peace"), targeting cops in the name of "the resistance,"  domestic harassment of our elected officials,  refusing to comply with subpoena's and FOIA requests (favorite tactics of the Obama/rogue Administration), writing legislation without the authority to do so,  ignoring Constitutional restrictions, and on and on.  

We have just finished with a Rogue Administration that practiced comprehensive lawlessness in the name of the "greater good."  The Democrat Party has been paying the price for this idiocy since and including the 2010 Mid-term elections.  And,  today, the Dems find themselves "suddenly" without any political power,  without a leader,  and without hope for an early turn-around.  

With the headline, above,  we are hoping that some within this rebel party,  are beginning to realize that they have been on the wrong path for some,  and are now turning to a more compliant position.  

Hail the Mayor of Dade County.

MANY ON THE RIGHT DESPISE THIS CLOWN. NOW, THE DEMS ARE JOINING US.

Asawin Suebsaeng / The Daily Beast
Dems to David Brock: Stop Helping, You Are Killing Us  —  As David Brock attempts to position himself as a leader in rebuilding a demoralized Democratic Party in the age of Trump, many leading Democratic organizers and operatives are wishing the man would simply disappear.

10 Democrat Senators are in dangerous elective territory for 2018. One of them is the Progressive European style socialist, Elizabeth Warren . . . . . seriuously.

Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts will face a tough reelection in 2018, according to a WBUR poll published Monday morning.
The progressive Senator faces dismal polling numbers, only 44 percent of registered voters believe that Warren “deserves reelection,” according to the poll. Alternatively, 51 percent of Massachusetts voters held a favorable view of the senator. Those numbers are down significantly from 69 percent from Warren’s high point in June of 2016.

State Department senior management just quit !!!!

State Department senior management just quit  !!!!  They are all globalist,  supporters of Obama's plan to subdue the United States via open borders and undisciplined immigration.  

This decision goes to just how short sighted is the out of power Left wing.  You would think that the best place for these people would be in the State Department.  Instead,  they have decided to exit and in that exit,  render themselves of no value to the opposition.

And they claim to be the "intellectual class."  What a farce.   

Update:  Actually they were fired.

More fake news from the Wa/Post and the NY Times.

WH: ‘CIA Black Site’ Memo Published by NYT, WaPo Not from Us

Anyone want to guess who made up the latest "WH memo?"  

They want a war? They got a war. No sanctuary for Sanctuary Cities.


In order to better inform Americans about the impact illegal aliens are having on crime rates in sanctuary cities, President Donald Trump today ordered the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to publish a weekly list of crimes committed by illegals.

In an executive order titled “Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States,” Trump directed Secretary John Kelly to be transparent with citizens.

“To better inform the public regarding the public safety threats associated with sanctuary jurisdictions, the Secretary shall utilize the Declined Detainer Outcome Report or its equivalent and, on a weekly basis, make public a comprehensive list of criminal actions committed by aliens and any jurisdiction that ignored or otherwise failed to honor any detainers with respect to such aliens,” the order reads.

The same executive order “directs that federal funds be withheld from cities and counties that don’t cooperate with immigration officials,” Patch reports.

31 states have no ID requirements for voting - so, of course, illegal are voting in our elections.

http://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/voter-id.aspx   is a site with a dynamic map of the country identifying state requirements for voting.  31 states have no ID requirements for voting

800,000 illegals live in California, for example,  and all those of age,  can get a drivers license.  Nothing more is asked for the right to vote,  so OF COURSE there are illegals voting in California  . . . .   and elsewhere. 

About that gag order directed to Ag and the EPA:

About that gag order directed to Ag and the EPA:  Per this morning's presser,  Sean Spicer told the reporters that no such order was given by Trump.  If such orders exist, they are the product of current departmental policy to the exclusion of the White House.  

Maybe the President has more allies in these departments than some of us know.  

So, are abortions all Planned Parenthood do?

Micaiah Bilger / LifeNews.com: Planned Parenthood Caught Denying Women Prenatal Care: 92 of 97 Abortion Clinics Turned Them Away

Notes:  If they don't do prenatal care,  is PP only about abortions   . . . . . . .   and if they are aborting the kids,  why the hell do they call it "Planned Parenthood?"  

So,  if I shoot one of my kids,  can I claim "family planning reassessment" as a valid excuse?  ~  editor. 

Tuckers numbers rivial O'Reilly's and put Megyn Kelly's numbers to bed.

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight is averaging nearly double the ratings of the Megyn Kelly-led The Kelly File when compared with the same time period last year, according a report.

The Hill reports that ratings for Carlson — who took over the 9 p.m. primetime slot from Kelly this month —  are up 95 percent when compared with Kelly File ratings from January 2016. According to Nielsen Media Research, TCT is averaging 775,000 viewers per episode in the key 25-54 demo, while Kelly’s program drew an average of 398,000 viewers in the demo last year.
Additionally, Carlson’s show is reportedly up 37 percent in total viewership with an average of 3.73 million total viewers, compared with Kelly’s 2016 average of 2.72 million viewers.
