After a week, the Editor is back at the helm. and excited about the demise of the "resistance."

The editor is back from a week long stay in Las Vegas,  attending the USA Open Tournament.  This tournament is held to support high school wrestling, nation-wide,  Olympic wrestling,  an open division for retired champions an coaches  (among others),   high school divisions for girls,  and an open division for women competing on the World and Olympic stages.    

The University of California at Fresno, as an example,  sent two of its coaching staff to the event.  Both scored Gold in a competition including a number of Olympic and World Champions.  There were no slouches in the tournament.  My boys and I will be going for the entire four day tournament.  At least two will compete.  They wrestled this year with a combined record of 1 and 6.  Neither had wrestled in more than 20 years.  Both were California state champions and come from a section that is one of the toughest in the
Dr. James
nation.   Their final matches were great in spite of losing and gave them the opinion that they could actually win at this tournament.  It might take two or three years.  Keep in mind,  that one of the "boys" is an ER doctor and the other owns a solar panel company.  Finding world class competitors to partner with, is the big problem.  If a wrestler,  any wrestler,  cannot secure secure quality mat time with quality partners,  he/she simply cannot be competitive in the Vegas tourney.

On the domestic front, the news is increasingly good.  The Democrats do-nothing but resist effort is clearly backfiring with the latest press party crap awards dinner as a obvious example.  As you know,  these Progressive clowns invited a pure Ignorant pretending to a be a comedian.  Turns out she was nothing  but a slut with no class and no excuse for her ignorance.  Thanks Democrats,  for giving the Conservative Movement a major shot in the arm. 

Here is the morning's AOL Headline. Question: How many world leaders recommended Obama receive his Nobel Peace Prize?

Trump should win the Nobel Peace Prize, says South Korea's Moon Jae-in

Above is the morning's AOL Headline.  Question: How many world leaders recommended Obama receive his Nobel Peace Prize? Answer:  None, zero, nobody. This despite news releses such as this:
                                                                                                                                                               The Nobel Peace Prize 2009 was awarded to Barack H. Obama "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples".  (The prize was awarded October 9, 2009,  again,  for doing nothing).  

We all know that the Obama Peace Prize was the product of bias on the world stage.  It had nothing to do with historic facts or realities.  Worse yet, at the end of Mohammad Obama's term as our only Rogue President,  the Middle East was/is in flames,  Libya, Qatar, Somalia and Syria had become failed states directly related to his idiotic policies.  He and Hillary ran guns from Libya into Syria,  slept while the Libya staff was murdered after 7 hours,  screaming for help not knowing that their "Commander" had written them off and gone to bed.  He supported the Iranian regime's scheme to terrorize the Middle East,  giving that terror state 1.5 billion dollars in gold and bullion,  flown into Iran in the middle of the night in a private single engine plane.     

I could go on and on and on,  but the above is more than enough to support the obvious fact that Nobel Peace Prize,  given to Obama,  was nothing more than a sad political joke.  

If Trump receives this award,  it will be based on one of the most startling efforts ever made with regard to Korea.  Stay tuned.

Trump's re-election numbers are virtually the same as Clinton and Obama.

Trump's approval ratings have been significantly worse than those of his predecessors at similar points in their presidencies. And his re-elect figures do not match those of Clinton (40% in April 1994) and Obama (46% in March 2010) in the spring of their first midterm election years. However, by the time voters cast ballots in those presidents' first midterms that fall, the percentage of voters believing Clinton and Obama deserved to be re-elected had fallen to the same level Trump is at now.

Hannity buys and sells property. So what.

Morgan Gstalter / The Hill: Sean Hannity linked to shell companies that spent $90M on property: report  —

I read the report.  Conclusion?  None of it is anyone's business.  None of it.  Just a private rich guy wheeling and dealing.  You know,  kind of what the Dems do in their property deals,  their insider trading schemes,  and their book sales.  

Just a reminder that there are much more important things than the Russian Conspiracy made up by the Democrats:




Pat Summit dies at age 64 in 2016.   She will be remembered as one of the greatest coaches in sports history. Make note that I did not say, "One of the greatest female coaches in . . . . " She began coaching at age 22 (U. of Tennessee) making $8,900, two years after Title IX and several years before woman's basketball became a NCAA sanctioned sport. 

In her career as head coach, she was 112 -23, with 18 Final Four appearances and 8 National Championships. She never had a losing season, and since 1982 thru the 2015 season, every girl coming into her program made it to the Final Four at least once.

Trump plans to pardon Jack Johnson, convicted of taking a white woman (on a date) across state lines.

Brent D. Griffiths / Politico:
Trump says he's ‘considering’ a pardon for boxer Jack Johnson  —  President Donald Trump said Saturday he is considering a posthumous pardon for boxing champion Jack Johnson, who was convicted over a century ago under racially motivated charges for his relationship with a white woman.
 
Editor:  One of the most comprehensive articles in Wikipedia is the one dealing with Jack Johnson.  Very interesting.   

Johnson was Heavy Weight Champion of the World for 8 years (1907-1915) and Black Champion for a number of years before that.  

His first fight was in 1898 and his last fight,  his 102nd,  was in November of 1945.  The man was a bad ass. 

Who knew? Comey was being investigated for violation of the Hatch Act at the time of his firing.

Washington Times:    Former FBI Director James Comey was being investigated by the government’s Office of Special Counsel for potential Hatch Act violations at the time he was fired, according to new documents released Friday as part of a Freedom of Information Act case.    The OSC investigation was cut short by the firing, since the office doesn’t probe people once they’re out of government.

The Alt-Right was always and only a fantasy organization and now, the Left Out Ones have pronounced its death.

Terrence McCoy / Washington Post:
‘Imploding’: Financial troubles.  Lawsuits.  Trailer park brawls.  Has the alt-right peaked?Eight months after a white-nationalist rally in Charlottesville ended in the death of a counter protester, the loose collection of disaffected young white men known as the alt-right is in disarray.
 
Editor:  The "alt-right" was never an actual entity except in the fanciful mind of Left wing Zealots  (aka "The Media").    There was never more than 300 folks that fit the description of "alt-right" so,  of course, this group is in disarray   . . . .   in view of the fact that they never existed as an organization. 

More evidence that Joe Scarborough is not only an unfaithful husband, he is a political idiot.

Joe Scarborough / Washington Post:
It's becoming clear that Trump won't run in 2020  —  It has been nearly three years since Donald Trump descended his faux-gold escalator to announce an improbable run for president, and Republican politicians seem just as baffled by the reality TV star's future as they were the day he first launched … 
Editor:  There is no evidence that Trump will not run for re-election, yet, Joe the Blow takes time to assert this very possibility.   This article is so far off course that it obvious.  No point in debating nonsense. 

Are you aware that no one has turned on Trump? Pay no attention to the Wa/Post who pretends otherwise.

Now, even Trump’s most steadfast allies are quietly admitting that the Southern District of New York’s investigation poses an existential threat to his future, both politically and legally. Trump allies are telling the president his “fixer” could flip for the feds, just like Michael Flynn, Rick Gates and George Papadopoulos.

Update on Rosenstein's declaration that Trump is not the subject of the Muller prob . . . . and this is a big deal.

Turns out that what Rosensteirn,  the number two man at Justice,  actually told the President was this:  that he (Trump) was/is not a target of any element of the Mueller investigation.  Guy Benson reported this today,  and attributed the statement to Bloomberg.  

This is the second or third time Trump has been given this sort of information,  beginning with Comey,  himself, while acting as FBI Director.  

About the false claim that Trump demanded loyalty from the FBI director.

January, 2017,  from the Comey memos:  He replied that he needed loyalty and expected loyalty.  I did not reply or even nod or chage my facial expression  . . .  we came back to it later  . . .  I replied that he would always get honey from me.  [Trump] paused and said that's what he wants,  honest loyalty.  

Editor:  Clearly,  "honest loyalty" is a far cry from "sectarian loyalty to me and my office and,  if you can't make that pledge,  hit the road."  

Understand that "sectarian loyalty at all costs  is what the Left and their Marxist Media have charged President Trump with for that last several months.  Let's not overlook the fact that Comey promised honest loyalty.
  

Christians live in a hostile world, right here in the good old U.S. of A. Standing for one's faith is a requisite character trait, even in a nation founded on Christian values.

Hank Berrien / Daily Wire: Heroic Female Pilot: Flying Planes Gives Me The Opportunity ‘To Witness For Christ On Almost Every Flight’

 Tammie Jo Shults is the pilot who bravely flew Southwest Flight 1380 to safety after part of its left engine ripped off, damaging a window and nearly sucking a woman out of the plane. The flight was en route to Dallas Love airport from New York City, and had to make an emergency landing in Philadelphia. Shults, 56, kept her cool during an incredibly intense situation, audio from her conversation with air traffic controllers reveals, while many passengers posted on social media that they were scared these were their last moments. She, with the help of the co-pilot and the rest of the crew, landed the plane safely

 Shults, a native of New Mexico, graduated in 1983 from MidAmerica Nazarene University after growing up on a ranch. She had degrees in biology and agribusiness, The Kansas City Star reported.

Shults applied for the Air Force after she graduated. She wasn’t allowed to test to become a pilot, but the Navy welcomed her. She was one of the first female fighter pilots in the Navy’s history, and the first woman to fly F-18s. She later became an instructor.

If Hog(g's) effort was to permanent trash Laura Ingraham, he failed

Liz Moyer / CNBC: Student activist David Hogg calls for boycott of Vanguard and BlackRock over gunmaker ownership  — David Hogg led a successful advertiser boycott of Fox television's Laura Ingraham's show last month after Ingraham publicly mocked his college acceptances.  — BlackRock and Vanguard 

Editor: Look, Laura took a pre-planned vacation two weeks ago,  and is now back on air with a much larger audience and the highest rated show for her time slot,  on cable news.  In other words,  he got his arce kick but refuses to admit defeat   . . . .   kind of like Hillary and Comey.

Another lie being told by the Marxist Media:


Jonathan Chait / New York Magazine:
Mitch McConnell Gives Trump Green Light to Fire Mueller


Mitch is on record opposing the firing of Mueller   . . . .    on record.  He blocked the bid to "protect Mueller" simply because he believes such "protection" is not necessary.  Besides,  the move would be unconstitutional.  

Seriously, does this look like a couple not in love with each other?

Look,  For years,  Trump was a ladies' man  . . .  gentle,  kind, empathetic  and a horn dog  . . . . . .   kind of a Bill Clinton but with class.  About 10 years ago,  he stopped with all that excess.  Have you not noticed that all the latest sex scandals are with a man who no longer exists,  a man who has changed his ways as of 10 to 12 years ago.  He is a one woman man.  And the growth is not just his.  Melania was his mistress before she was his wife.  With all that in mind,  compare their marriage with the fraudulent relationship between Bill and Hillary Clinton.  'Nough said, no ?


There is only one problem with this Vanity Fair headline:

Gabriel Sherman / Vanity Fair:   “You Only Hire Cohen for One Reason”: Inside Fox News, Sean Hannity's Michael Cohen Disclosure Stokes … 

 There is only one problem with this Vanity Fair headline: Hannity never hired Cohen,  never paid him a dime,  was never sent a bill for services.  Maybe Vanity Fair should concentrate on its lip stick sales .

Ratings for the Comey interview? Not good.

The Stormy Daniels interview scored 24 million viewers.  I mean,  who doesn't like looking at a pair of huge breasts?  The AMC awards took in 12 million viewers.  Comey's interview took in 9 million   . . . . . . . .   not even close to what the Dems had hoped.  In fact,  this total does not take the Dems into homes not identifying as "Democrat." 

Here is what happened in Trump's second raid on the monsters in Syria:

The raids hit two chemical weapons facilities and a military command post in Syria on Friday night in retaliation for President Assad's chemical attack that left up 75 civilians dead last week. The night sky over Damascus (pictured bottom) was lit up in an awesome display of firepower, with the UK and US using some of their most advanced weaponry, which is detailed in this graphic (main). France also joined in the attack with Mirage and Rafale fighters.


Buzzfeed scores another big "Wo what !!!!! " with this story.

BuzzFeed:
A Former Russian Spy Worked On A Trump Moscow Deal While Trump Was Running For President  —  While Trump was running for president, his business team was trying to develop a Trump tower in Moscow — with the help of a former Russian military intelligence officer.
Editor:  Trump was doing this long before the presidential campaign.   More power to the man. 

Update:  Oh,  btw,  Trump never closed the deal for the towers,  did he?  

Every federal agency has an Inspector general. Justice has one and supports the firing of Andrew McCabe . . . . . . . big time

Katie Bo Williams / The Hill:
IG releases report faulting fired FBI official McCabe


The Department of Justice’s inspector general concluded that fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe made a leak to the media “designed to advance his personal interests at the expense of Department leadership,” according to a copy of the report obtained by The Hill. 
The report from Inspector General Michael Horowitz makes the case that McCabe authorized disclosures to the media that were designed to combat the perception that he had a conflict of interest in overseeing dual FBI investigations related to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
“We concluded that McCabe’s decision to confirm the existence of the [Clinton Foundation] Investigation through an anonymously sourced quote, recounting the content of a phone call with a senior Department official in a manner designed to advance his personal interests at the expense of Department leadership, was clearly not within the public interest exception,” Horowitz wrote.

Nancy Pelosi complains about Trumps trillion dollar deficit when she . . .

Nancy Pelosi complains about Trumps trillion dollar deficit when she  was speaker furing Barack's first two years   . . . . .  during Barack's first two trillion dollar deficits.  In 2009,  the deficit was 1.4 trillion, and, in 2010,  the deficit was 1.3 trillion.  After Pelosi lost her House Speaker position in the 2010 midterms,  Barack had two more trillion dollar deficits:  1.3 (again) in 2011 and 1.1 in 2012. 

Some will argue that the $700 billion directed to Big Banking,  after the crash in September of 2008,  is part of the 2009 deficit when,  in fact,  the Dems passed that expense off to Bush.  No,  that 2009 deficit was the direct result of the 1 trillion  Reinvestment Act and the 400 billion April spending bill.   

Understand that Dems do not believe in balanced budgets.  In fact,  they do not believe in budgets at all   . . . .   they never passed a budget during the entire 8 years our Muslim wannabe president was in office.  

Tucker has challenged Stephen Cobert to a debate. Will the nation's Class Clown accept the challenge? (no article).

Rememberr Scooter Libby? Well, Trump is going give him a much deserved pardon.

President Donald Trump has signed off on a pardon for I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, who was convicted in 2007 of perjury, obstruction of justice, and making false statements.

Trump has been considering a pardon for Libby for months, ABC News reported Thursday. Several conservative operatives and attorneys pressed Trump for the pardon, according to ABC.

Understand that Bush 43 commuted Libby's jail term,  but did not pardon the man.  Libby was convicted of lying and revealing the "covert identity" of Valerie Plame.  Turns out that Ms Plame was not covert.  Instead,  she held an office job at the time Libby was convicted.  

Trump's pardon erases Libby's conviction,  something that the hapless GW Bush would not consider.  

Hail to the Chief.  

Hilary is less popular, with a lower approval rating, than Trump. (no article)

There is reason to believe that the Mueller nonsense coupled with Democrat fantasies, is backfiring on the Libs.

According to a CNN report,   only 3 in 10 Republican voters, 30%, would say Mueller is conducting a fair probe into potential collusion, down 11 points over the last six months. Overall, however, a majority of American voters, 52%, believe Mueller's probe is being conducted fairly.

Understand that most of the 30%,  mentioned above,  would still vote for Trump,  realizing that he is working hard to keep his campaign promises.  Barack made no such concerted effort.  

Also,  you should know that CNN is reporting on GOP voters,  exclusively.  A huge percentage of the 2016 Trump vote came from middle class,  blue collar voters not identifying as "Republican" and ignored as "independents."  In fact,  this is the reason Trump shot down all those polls  - - - -  the middle class blue collar 1953 Chevy truck driving America,  has never be counted in political polling.   

When you add those into the mix,  you may be talking about a majority in support of Trump.  That 52% mentioned above,  is not a measure of "rust-belt independents."  And the trend lines for approval,  have consistently marked an improving reality favoring Trump.  The last Rasmussen poll had Trump at 51% approval,  ahead of our Muslim wannabe president,  for the same period in his first term.  

This headline comes from CNN, so there is no way to know if it is true:

White House is prepping an effort to undermine Rosenstein,

In my opinion,  after nearly a year ,  it is time to shut down this investigation.  Understand that anyone and everyone would be found guilty of some lie or misconduct,  using the same rules of investigation being used by Mueller.  

Is this a criticism of Trump?

Philip Rucker / Washington Post: James Comey's memoir: Trump fixates on proving lewd dossier allegations false

Is this a criticism of Trump?   Anyone, and certainly any Democrat,  would deny these lewd charges   . . . . .  well, maybe Democrats wouldn't.   On second thought,  they seem to be proud of lewd activity at all levels of societal activity  (blowjobs for votes; 300 Dems in the recent sex scandals versus 12 individuals voting GOP; pussy hats;  shouting f you to the president and publicly giving him the finger;  embracing hardcore nudity during gay parades,  etc., etc., etc).

The future of the GOP? Well, for starters, there will be an impeachment trial.

The Dems, who have planned on "impeachment" since before Inauguration Day,  who hate this country as it relates to the Constitution,  and have no working relation with the common American worker (60 to 80 million Americans),  will vote for impeachment before the end of January, 2019.  

Currently,  41 Republicans are either retiring or moving into other areas of the political process.  The Dems only need 25 seats to take a simple majority in the House.  Clinton lost 54 House seats in his first mid-term.  Barack Obama lost 63 seats in his first mid-term.  

You do the math.  What is most maddening is the fact that Mitch McConnell has played with himself for the entire first two years.  We could have changed the make up of the Federal Court System.  Instead,  McConnell has insured that such will never happened.  Don't blame Trump.  

2018 will mark the end of the GOP.  The commies on the Left are  working hard to fulfill Nikita Kruschchev's promise to see the fall of America coming from within.   

Dems not thinking again. They want to protect Trump from himself. Why?

Alexander Bolton / The Hill: Schumer: It's time to vote on legislation protecting Mueller

 Dems not thinking again.  They want to protect Trump from himself.  Why?  

Think about this:  What would be the worst thing Trump could possibly do in terms of his immediate future.  Answer:  Fire Mueller.  I mean,  isn't that the conventional wisdom (as if Dems know anything about "wisdom")?  Look,  if the President fires Mueller,  folks "in the know" tell us that he (Trump) does not stop the investigation.  Which leads us to the question, "Other than seeking another headline,  why in the world are the Dems trying to prevent the firing?"  

Me?  I believe the Democrat response to the 2016 election is nothing short of treason.  The "Russian" complication was an Obama idea long before the election,  itself.  And the only provable Russian collusion centers itself around the Steele Dossier and the money spent by Hillary and the DNC.  

Never forget that the Dems are all about eradicating the political scene from all things conservative. They simply do not care about the 60 plus million folks voting for the president.  

This is exactly the end game of 1960's Russian government.  It was Nikita Kruschchev,  Russian Prime Minister from 1958 to 1964,  who promised that the United States would fall "from within."  Turns out the Dems are the end game of the Kruschchev threat.  Undeniable.  And Kruschchev's threat puts the modern day Democrat party politic into context.  

Now you know. 




The Cohen raid is all about campaign finance regulations:

The special counsel Robert Mueller is looking into a large donation a pro-Russian Ukrainian oligarch made to the Trump Foundation in September 2015 after then-candidate Donald Trump gave a video talk at a conference in Kiev, Ukraine, The New York Times reported.

At the time, Trump was one of several Republicans vying for the 2016 presidential nomination. In August 2015, Doug Schoen, a political consultant who works for the Ukrainian billionaire and steel magnate Victor Pinchuk, personally contacted Trump to set up the speech, according to the report.

Trump accepted the request but reportedly did not broach the subject of any payment. However, his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, is said to have called Schoen the next day to ask for a $150,000 fee from Pinchuk in exchange for the talk.

The revelation comes as Mueller investigates the flow of foreign money into the Trump campaign and Trump's personal business. The special counsel is also examining whether administration officials used their influence within the White House to benefit their personal finances.

Always remember:  evidence of wrong doing is not proof of wrong doing.

What about the raid on Trump's lawyer's offices and home?

What about the raid on Trump's lawyer's offices and home?  After listening to CNN and FoxNews,  it is apparent that these raids are centered around the issue of that payment made to Stormy Daniels.  It does not involve Trump and,  more importantly,  it does not involve anything having to do with Russia. 

Understand that if Cohen  (the President's attorney) made that payment from his own bank account,  that is acceptable. But if he made the payment or took reimbursement from campaign monies,  that is a felony.  

Now you know. 

How many times has this happened?

How many times has this happened?  Trump comes up with an "outrageous" idea or action,  his enemies pronounce him "incompetent," and then the impossible happens.

What am I talking about?  This morning we wake up to the news that China has filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization,  and,  at the same time,  agreed to lower its tariffs on incomng autos.  Clearly,  China has "blinked."  I am not saying that the issues with China have been resolved,  but. China's recent actions indicate that this Communist nation sees the point Trump is making with regards to the unfairness of the Chinese stance on tariffs and the continuing theft of our intellectual properties. More than this,  the Chinese government sees Trump as a man who is willing to follow through on his promises (threats?). 

"Bolton will burn foreigh policy." Ooooops, Barack/Kerry alread did that.

Peter Baker / New York Times:
In John Bolton, Trump Finds a Fellow Political Blowtorch. Will Foreign Policy Burn?


Editor:  Will foreign policy [now] burn?  Seriously?  This is  what the heavy thinkers at the NY Times pretend to be a critical question.  

Look, Barack played tag with the Muslim Brotherhood as he helped to take down the existing Egyptian president.  He invited the Brotherhood into his WH as advisors !!  The same Brotherhood that assassinated Anwar Sadat,  past president of Egypt.  back in 1981.  The same Brotherhood rejected by most of the established Muslim communities in the Middle East.  

Barack violated the agreement between Bush and Omar Gaddafi,  an agreement that saved the life of Gaddafi if he surrendered his nuclear arsenal, which he did.  An agreement that Barack,  in his extreme arrogance,  violated and in doing do,  destroyed the government of Libya,  giving ISIS a training ground and a foothold in the Middle East.  

It was Barack who made a deal with Iran that promised a legal path to nuclear arms within ten years,  beginning in 2015.   In other words,  it is Iran that has the legal promise to arm itself against Israel within the next 7 stinking years.  That is what Barack did.  

I could go on and on.  My point?  Don't be stupid enough to think that Trump/Bolton would even match the idiocy of the Obama years as relates to the Middle East. 

A Harvard law professor thinks Mueller is unhinged

‘A Partisan And A Zealot’ — Alan Dershowitz Goes After Robert Mueller 

 Harvard professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz appeared on New York’s AM 970, and he had some harsh words for special counsel Robert Mueller.

 Well, I think Mueller is a zealot,” he said.     “I don’t think he cares whether he hurts Democrats or Republicans. But he’s a partisan and a zealot.”

PEACE WITHOUT A MILITARY FORCE IS NOT POSSIBLE. HERE IS A LITTLE HISTORY LESSON ON THAT POINT:



The following is a highlighted posting from The Atlantic,  giving us a summary of the poisoned gas issue in Syria.  Barack via John Kerry,  pretended to have succeeded in bring Syria "to the table,"  negotiating a supposed surrender of its poisoned gas supplies. President Trump inherited that lie,  dealt a blow to an air-base in Syria,  once that could be used by Russian aircraft.  John Kerry,  per the Atlantic article,  did not admit his failures with regard to the Syrian gas circumstance,  until he was about to leave office following the 2016 election.  There is a good chance that such an admission would have ever been made had Hillary ran a campaign that promised victory.  Like the President has said on several occasions,  "The past administration left me a mess,  an absolute mess."  ~ Editor. 

From The Atlantic [highlights are mine ~ Editor]:

Four years ago (John Kerry under Obama), it almost looked as if chemical attacks on Syrian civilians would stop. “We struck a deal where we got 100 percent of the chemical weapons out,” declared then-Secretary of State John Kerry on Meet the Press in 2014. Kerry was referring to Bashar al-Assad’s declared stockpiles of chemical weapons which, under a 2013 deal struck by the Obama administration following a sarin nerve gas attack that brought the U.S. to the brink of striking Syrian government forces, were dismantled and shipped out of the country.

But there were two important and deadly loopholes. The first was that Assad did not declare everything—a reality that Kerry acknowledged in a farewell memo to staff, in which he wrote that “unfortunately other undeclared chemical weapons continue to be used ruthlessly against the Syrian people.” The second was that chlorine gas, which has legitimate civilian uses, was not part of the deal. The Syrian American Medical Society and the White Helmets civil-defense group have documented 200 chemical attacks in Syria since 2012, many involving chlorine. On Saturday, the group alleged a particularly gruesome attack in the besieged city of Douma, which has reportedly killed dozens and injured hundreds. It remains unclear exactly what chemical weapon was involved in the alleged attack.
The deal’s failure to prevent attacks like this was evident even before last April, when sarin gas killed roughly 100 people in the Syrian town of Khan Sheikhoun. By then, Assad’s renewed campaign of chemical attacks, involving the use of chlorine in barrel bombs, was well underway. But sarin was explicitly prohibited, and those weapons were supposed to be out of the country. The deal, The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg wrote at the time, “was not a complete failure, in that [chemical-weapons] stockpiles were indeed removed, but Assad kept enough of these weapons to allow him to continue murdering civilians with sarin gas.

The argument that Obama achieved comprehensive WMD disarmament without going to war is no longer   . . . . .      operative.”
 
Editor:  A most significant observation in view of the fact that Barack was and is an idealistic punk when it comes to national defense and waging war.  Carter believed he could secure "the peace" without war.  As a consequence,  he allowed the military to wither and nearly die,  preferring to spend the military "savings" on domestic affairs.  Result?  Iran spent 444 days laughing in Carter's face during the hostage crisis.  And Barack did much the same,  starving the military with his military sequestration, ignoring his primary purpose as "president,"  while putting the nation at serious risk for the sake of his "fairness dreams"  and the lie that he had brought peace to the world via his blind obeisance to his failed dream of world peace without force.  

What the deal did achieve, according to Avril Haines, who served as Obama’s deputy national security adviser, was to force Syria to declare 1,300 tons of chemical weapons, which were then destroyed. “This was a major achievement and one that has put us in a better position to address the threat posed by [Assad] … we have learned a great deal about Syria's holdings and capabilities” because the regime was effectively forced to join the Chemical Weapons Convention, she wrote in an email.

If all this added up to something short of disarmament, Trump’s strikes on regime targets following last April’s sarin attack haven’t achieved it either. The seeming logic of that response—that where diplomacy had failed, punishment might succeed—also fell apart quickly, as reports began emerging soon afterward that Assad was once again using chlorine gas against civilians. The United States did not strike Assad again in retaliation. And on Saturday, the  Syrian American Medical Society and the White Helmets noted that dozens of victims in Douma were exhibiting the symptoms of chemical exposure—including seizures and foaming at the mouth.

President Trump has labeled the event “an atrocity,” blaming the Obama administration for declining to enforce its declared “red line” against chemical weapons use in 2013. But if anything, until this morning it looked like the Trump administration was more interested in extricating itself from Syria entirely. 

Editorial note:  Trump's criticism of Obama is not contrasted with his own desire to get out of Syria.  It is a fact that more than 500,000 Syrians have been killed in the conflict since the day Barack,  again,  played the coward and refused to be the rescue for the Syrian .  In fact,  Barack's own cowardly refusal gave the Russians time to establish a military foothold in Syria,  one that was not there before Barack's infamous "red line." 

The [gas] attacks follow a strange few days in Washington, as the president stated his desire to get out of Syria “very soon;” his advisers insisted the U.S. was staying to finish the job of defeating the Islamic State; and the White House tried to resolve the contradiction by insisting that American troops would stay in Syria until ISIS was gone, an outcome that was rapidly coming to pass.

Syrian civilians appeared virtually nowhere in that discussion; nowhere was the U.S. mission defined as protecting them. As when a sarin attack killed a thousand people in Ghouta in 2013; as when another one killed roughly 100 last April; as with this latest reported attack; the administration seems to take up that public discussion seriously only when dozens of people—men, women, children—have already choked to death in their homes.

There are no definitions that allow one to argue that Trump is a "Facist." Period.


Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and control of industry and commerce, which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. Wikipedia
Editor:  You should know that, while Trump is decisive,  his activities do not lead to  suppression of opposition,  nor does he seek to control industry and commerce at all levels of the economy.   Understand that "fascism" is a radicalized form of "socialism."  Calling Trump a "fascist" is as far from the truth as one can get,  so let's stop with the immature name calling,  and,  figure out how we are going to deal with President Trump and his agenda. 

Scott Pruitt, EPA Chief Administrator, is under fire for doing his job. Don't believe otherwise.

The Daily Caller:   Pruitt has come under fire of late for a bevy of scandals involving his living arrangements while in Washington, D.C., expensive flights, and an unusually large security detail.

Scott Pruitt,  EPA Chief Administrator,  is under fire for doing his job.  Don't believe otherwise.

Understand this:  The Left Out Ones would never call for the firing of an Administrator under Trump without first,  finding fault with the way she or he is doing their job.  Pruitt is more responsible for reeling in the excesses of the EPA power years than (perhaps) any other person within the Trump Administration.  THAT is why the Left is calling for the man's head.  

He is reducing the draconian auto emission standards that are making new car purchases impossible for  the hard working middle class.  He views the Clean Water Act as overreaching He fully supports our nation's exodus from the Paris Climate Agreement.  This agreement was never ratified by our Congress.  While other countries consider the Accord a Treatise,  because of Congress's inaction,  the Paris Agreement,  for the U.S.,  is nothing more than a promise and a handshake with the larger international community.  The real tragedy is that it does not address the critical nature of the supposed problem.  Because of this Accord,  100 years from now,  the earth will be as warm as it is going to be without the agreement.  I am saying that the Paris Climate Accord only effects 1.5 degrees Celsius. And we will surrender billions of dollars to the international community.  This is nothing but a transfer of wealth scheme   . . . . . . . .  and now that the scheme to transfer that wealth,  our wealth,  has been taken down,  the Left literally hates Scott Pruitt as a member of the Trump Administration.  

Now you know.

Soo, now they are mad at Trump for stating the obvious ???? !!!

Trump Says An Unprecedented Number Of Rapes Are Occurring During The Caravan. …

Editor:  Think "caravans" plural.  Now think "smuggling women to America" or "coyote" and you have the prefect opportunity for rape after rape after rape.  Its what the criminal minded male  does when he has the opportunity to rape and escape penalty.  I mean,  THAT is common knowledge.  

Point of post:  Expand the President's categories and you have the truth as stated by our President.

Two of my three sons will wrestle in Vegas later this month.

Meet Russ Smithson.  I think he is wrestling 169's  .  Started cutting weight from 220 lbs.  Lots of good wrestlers at this tournament, but he and his two brothers are part of the bad ass crew.  

 

MY Pillow stands with Laura Ingraham and refuses to pull its ad from her program.

Warner Todd Huston / Breitbart: MyPillow Ignores Liberal Outrage, Refuses to Pull Ads from Laura Ingraham's Fox News Show

Her show is the number one program for her time slot on cable.  David Hog(g) and his socialist buds can't win in the arena of ideas so they try to criminalize free speech and, even, ruin the very life of those who oppose them.  They are cowards working to recreate America in their image,  forsaking America's historicity. 

Tonight's advertisers for the Ingraham program

So Clean (C Pap)
My Pillow 
NectarSleep.com
Zenni.com  (eye ware)
VisitingAngels.com
Old Dominion  (trucking)
Table Mountain Casino
Medicare Hotline

Those who have left the show should be given notice that Fox no longer needs their money.  Limbaugh told his deserters to take a permanent hike,  even after several begged forgiveness. 






News Flash: Mueller tells the world that President Trump is NOT undercriminal investigation.

Democrats have argued over and over again,  for the past year,  that Trump is guilty of criminal "obstruction of justice."  Turns out there is no criminal complaint against President Trump.

Democrats have argued over and over again,  for the past year,  that Trump is guilty of treason in his association with Putin's Russia.  Turns out that was always a lie,  and Mueller,  with his declaration that Trump is not under criminal investigation for treason.  

Look,  if Trump is not under criminal investigation,  after 9 months of Mueller and nearly two years of both the House and Senate committee investigations, the Democrat Strategy for stealing the 2016 election actually approaches the crime of treason of which they themselves accuse Trump. 

Again,  Trump is not guilty of any criminal conduct as framed by the Mueller investigation.  

Make fun of Rasmussen Polling if you dare, but that poll was one of three predicting a Trump victory in 2016 . . . . and Trump is back at 50% as of today . . . . ahead of Barack back in April of 2010.

TheDailyCaller:    president responded to Monday’s Rasmussen daily tracking poll finding him at 50% which puts him ahead of Cheatin Obama at the same point in his presidency.

The last time Trump hit 50 percent in the Rasmussen tracking poll was February 27. At the time, he was generally within the 47-50 percent range. The President’s approval rating outpaces that of former President Barack Obama, who sat at 46 percent in Rasmussen’s tracking poll on April 2, 2010.

We were beginning to wonder: Will Fox stand up for Laura Ingraham? Answer: A resounding "Yes." (The haters lose again).

Laura Ingraham isn’t going anywhere.
That’s the message Fox News is sending amid a left-wing boycott campaign meant to oust the conservative Fox News host over a tweet.
“We cannot and will not allow voices to be censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts,” Fox News co-president Jack Abernathy said in a statement to The Daily Caller News Foundation. “We look forward to having Laura Ingraham back, hosting her program next Monday when she returns from spring vacation with her children.”
Parkland high school student and gun control activist David Hogg called for an advertiser boycott after Ingraham knocked him on Twitter for complaining about colleges that rejected his applications. Ingraham apologized to Hogg on March 29, but he refused to accept the peace offering.
The liberal high school student teamed up with left-wing activist group Media Matters to pressure Ingraham’s advertisers into boycotting her show, “Ingraham Angle.” Over a dozen advertisers pulled their ads from her show.
Ingraham is on a pre-planned vacation this week that some liberals suggested was due to the boycott
Abernathy’s statement, which Fox News first released to the Los Angeles Times, made clear she’s staying put at Fox News.

That caravan headed for our Southern Border, now has some 1,500 folks, up for 800 a week ago.

Adolfo Flores / BuzzFeed: Mexico Says It Will Disband The Caravan, But Organizers Say Some Of Its Members Will Continue North

The good news is this:  Trump makes his point to the Mexican government and wins the day.  Mexico will stop the caravan.  Its about time an American President stood for something a won the day.  

Mueller's first conviction has nothing to do with the Russian Probe, oer se.

Dutch lawyer is first to be sentenced in Mueller's Russia probe  

Editor:  Mueller couldn't tie this fellow to Trump,  to the Democrat's fantasy conspiracy theory, or to election meddling,  so he charged him with lying and gave him one month in jail (Martha got two years).  BFD and I am laughing. 

Derek Weida, a vet who lost a leg in Iraq, gets down and dirty with David "Know It All" Hog(g).

Editor: You can bet that the Parkland Punk,  David Hog(g) will continue his assault against women reporters.  Just know that this 17 year old child won't go anywhere near Derek  Weida.  Derek lost a leg defending our liberties;  Hogg will never make that same decision.  The brave versus the cowards of this world.

RANT: Accurate portrayal of me listening to David Hogg speak. Look, I’m sorry dude, sincerely. It is horrible... School shootings. That said, you have to watch what you say. I’m Derek, I got shot on a house raid in Iraq. My getting shot didn’t make me a professional on war, international relations, house raids (obviously🤷🏻‍♀️), or guns. This horrible thing happened to me but I didn’t come home and protest the war... Even though I do kinda have these feelings that Iraq was errr... Questionable. 😂 But it ain’t my place. I did my part. So, I empathize with you and your peers because whereas I signed up to be shot at, none of you did. (Not exactly sure you actually got shot AT but that’s not the point here). Now... Guns. Here’s my two cents: It’s not a gun problem, not a people problem, it’s a culture thing. Thing... Not problem. America loves guns. Accept that just like I had to accept that America loves God. Don’t ever be so quick to tell a whoooole lot of people how to live.

Fucking NOBODY wants school shootings, mass shootings, shootings of any kind where somebody ends up injured or dead. Nobody. But people want their guns. I’m actually kinda with the anti-gun folk. There’s no need BUT! I’ve learned that the way I live and the things I believe have nothing to do with how others want to live or what they want to believe. I’m a well regulated idealist. 🤗 The people you’re arguing against... It’s not even about the gun. It’s about the freedom and the right... And you can’t win an argument against that, nor should you (In most cases). The reality is humans gonna human and when humans human bad things happen sometimes but on the grand scale of things... Like 99.999% of people are good. Yes, let’s find ways to deter those .001% of people as best we can but they’re gonna accomplish their task regardless... Most likely.

I guess I just want to say don’t be so quick to talk. Don’t be so quick to think YOU are somehow the ONE person who has things figured out. You want to make a change? Cool!! But... Try to be less of a cunt about it.

Love and respect,
Derek

Here are the hard cold facts of the recent spending bill.

 Take it to the bank:  This was a huge defeat for Trump,  giving the Dems yet another victory in the GOP controlled congress.  The most telling of all events,  however,  is not the failure of GOP leadership to fight for the Trump Agenda.  Rather,  it is the fact that Mitch McConnell refuses to end the filibuster.  If Trump serves only one term and gets little done versus what he is desperately trying to complete,  the blame will fall on Senate Leadership  in general and Mitch McConnell,  specifically  ~  editor

The 2,300-page bill includes $1.3 trillion in federal government spending.
How does the omnibus reflect President Trump’s budget priorities?
In his 2019 budget request, President Trump wanted:
 
A win for Trump
Ÿ• To increase defense spending by $54 billion and then offset that by stripping money from more than 18 other agencies. Instead, non-military spending increased by $63 billion over last year.

 Six major issues the GOP used to tell Trump to "go to hell." 
Ÿ•Ÿ An additional $25 billion for a border wall. Instead, he got $1.6 billion for border security, of which only $38 million can be spent on “border barrier planning and design.”
Ÿ•Ÿ To eliminate the $152 million in funding for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). Instead, the funding was increased by $3 million.
Ÿ•Ÿ To eliminate the $500 million in funding for the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER), a discretionary grant program launched as part of President Obama’s stimulus plan. Instead, the budget for TIGER was tripled to $1.5 billion.
Ÿ•Ÿ To eliminate the $3 billion in funding for Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). Instead, the budget was nearly doubled at $5,778,000.
Ÿ•Ÿ To eliminate the $309 million in funding for the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Energy (ARPA-E). Instead, the budget was increased to $353,314,000.
Ÿ•Ÿ To cut spending for a research office on renewable energy and efficiency by more than 65 percent, from $1.3 billion to $696 million. Instead, the budget was increased by 14 percent to $1.62 billion.

So, what should have happened?  The Prez should have vetoed the bill, forcing Congress to "stand up and be counted" as the opposition force they truly are  (Republicans and Democrats).  Understand that by doing so,  the GOP Statists would have made targets of themselves in coming elections,  the military would have still received its money,  and the conservative base would have been put on notice as to the true leanings of their "conservative" leadership. 

Did you know that David Hog(g) was never in danger during the Parkland shootings? He is just another athiest who hates this country.

Daily Caller:   America knows Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students through mainly a handful of pro-gun control activist students, but according to a faculty member of the school where the deadly shooting took place, many other students say the most visible activists do not represent them.

“I’ve had some students approach me privately to talk to me about it, but I should note that those student activists none of them were ever in any danger during this whole thing…none of them except for the one girl Samantha Fuentes,” the faculty member said, on the condition of anonymity, during an interview with NRATV that aired Friday on Dana Loesch’s “Relentless” program.

The Stoneman Douglas staffer continued, “But I have students in my class that were shot, but you don’t see them. They have the most personal experience of anyone except for that one girl.”

Stoneman Douglas students David Hogg, Emma Gonzales, and Cameron Kasky have been notable media representatives of their school and spoke at the “March for Our Lives” protest in Washington D.C. last Saturday, advocating for gun control policies.

The latest child star, David Hogg, now thinks he can direct political traffic. Punk.

Chris Riotta / Mediaite:
David Hogg Calls on Laura Ingraham to Apologize to Lebron James: ‘A Bully is a Bully’  

Editor:  Understand that Lebron James along with Steph Curry and other black activists,  is a man who gladly disgraces our flag, and, holds to the notion that the US Constitution is a "white man's document."   

Hogg needs a spanking and sent on his way home.  Forget about "a bully is a bully" when you realize that all these Left Out Clowns own the Bully Pulpit.  When put in that context,  I agree:  A bully is a bully.  

James, Curry,  Hogg have never held a blue collar type job in their lives.  Multi- millionaires except for the kid that can't get into one of his colleges of choice.  Ditto for all those millionaire football players that took a knee as they disgraced their own families, teams, and professions.
