WONDERFUL: Jingle Bells in the check-out line!

CARAVAN: Tijuana official: “We had to stop the Mexican people and the caravan from STONING one another.” No city can handle such a massive influx of migrants.

BUILD THE WALL: On Monday, the Supreme Court said it would not hear a challenge brought by environmental groups against the Trump administration concerning the construction of the border wall. The complaint alleged construction of the border wall would violate environmental laws and threaten endangered species. In 1996, President Clinton signed a law allowing the “the executive branch with authority to waive environmental laws if those laws impede construction of barriers and roads near the border.”

SECRET SERVICE: Democrat vs Republican protectees — Secret Service agents say that Republicans Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush treated them with respect and consideration, while Democrats Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and others did the opposite. Al Gore told them he did not want to be bothered greeting them or seeing them. And Hillary Clinton, who continues to be protected by the Secret Service, is so nasty to her agents that they consider it a form of punishment to be assigned to her detail.

#METOO: Pence is suddenly cool — According to the feminazis, it’s sexist for men (who are all rapists) to avoid putting themselves into situations where they could be falsely accused of sexual harassment. Consequently, many businessmen are opting to protect themselves by adopting Vice President Mike Pence’s rule of not dining alone with female colleagues. This just might not be good for the careers of said females. But hey, the guys didn’t start the whole “believe the woman without evidence” thing.

2018_12 Trump scandal

MUELLER: Monday Updates — Journalist Paul Sperry released a report accusing Robert Mueller of withholding evidence from the court that would exonerate President Trump from the latest accusations of Russian collusion during the 2016 election. And conservative author Jerome Corsi filed a “criminal and ethics complaint” against Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team, accusing investigators of trying to bully him into giving “false testimony” against President Trump.

IRELAND: Conscience Protection — About 300 doctors attended a meeting by the Irish College of General Practitioners EGM in Dublin to discuss the government’s plans to legalize abortions starting Jan. 1, 2019. Dozens of them walked out after complaining that leaders have been ramming through the pro-abortion legislation without consulting the medical community or giving it ample time to prepare. Many doctors also fear being forced to help abort unborn babies against their consciences. Dr. Andrew O’Regan, speaking for the GPs who walked out, said the meeting Sunday did nothing to address their concerns

PRAGER UNIVERSITY: General Chuck Wald –– Why Does America Spend So Much on Israel? With so much that must be done at home in the United States, why does America send so much of its resources to Israel? It’s a fair question, but according to U.S. Gen Chuck Wald, America doesn’t spend enough on Israel. Watch to understand why.

POPE FRANCIS: Pope Francis said that the Church had to be “demanding” in choosing candidates for the priesthood. “The question of homosexuality is a very serious one,” said the pontiff, adding that those responsible for training priests must make sure candidates are “humanly and emotionally mature” before they are ordained. “For this reason, the Church urges that persons with this rooted tendency not be accepted into ministry or consecrated life.”

BAKLAVA/BALAKAVA: Tomato Tomahto –– Or not. LOL

DRY BAR COMEDY: Corey Rodrigues — Not a Real Man. Then there’s MY marriage, which is totally tool based. You want to make us happy, give us tools! When we got married, he had a 20 oz hammer, which is the hefty, he-man tool for jobs like … roofing houses. I had a 12 oz hammer, which is a very nice, lady-sized tool for jobs like … hanging pictures. So, he sees my hammer. And he LAUGHS at it. Then, he STEALS it. After that, he stole my little circular saw. He’s lucky to be alive.

Quick Reader Survey

I’d like to hear from regular readers who are sick of the ads they see when they come to PoliNation.

I’ve researched and it appears our two options are to switch to one of the free ad free blog hosting services or stay here and pay $4 a month.

Mindful Webworkers mentioned that he switched to the Opera browser and doesn’t see pop ups.

I use Firefox and don’t notice them except at YouTube where little boxes appear on some of the videos as I’m watching them. But I am not sure if those are technically pop up ads or if the specific YouTuber gets paid to host them.

So anyway … thoughts anyone?

KARMA IS A BITCH: Talking trash may cost this Democrat bigly — An Illinois state Democratic lawmaker is facing increasing pressure to resign after she called for the deaths of a Republican lawmaker’s family during a floor speech this week. When a vote didn’t go her way, Democrat Rep. Stephanie Kifowit said, on the House floor, on record, and on camera, “I would like to make him a broth of Legionella and pump it into the water system of his loved ones so that they can be infected, they can be mistreated, they can sit and suffer by getting aspirin instead of being properly treated and ultimately die.”

TRUMP: China — Trump reached a major agreement with China’s leader while at the G-20 summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Trump and Xi spoke for two and a half hours Saturday night — an hour longer than previously scheduled. Trump said the meeting was “amazing and productive.” Their agreement temporarily staves off an escalating trade battle between the world’s two biggest economies.

2018_11 29 Climate report embarrassing

BRAZIL: Brazil’s new top diplomat is provoking strong reaction among leftists due to a number of statements that have recently surfaced showing him bucking against some of their most cherished beliefs. Ernesto Frago Araújo has called climate change an “ideology” contrived by “cultural Marxists” in order to stifle western economies. He has also, at the same time, called out the left for attempting to “criminalize” the “family,” “heterosexual intercourse,” the statement that “a person is born a man or a woman,” and “faith in God.”

ICE: BWAHAHA! New Jersey is following California’s lead by adopting new sanctuary state-like rules regarding how its local law enforcement agencies will cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It’s part of blue state America’s ongoing war on the Trump administration, flipping them off whenever they can, especially when it comes to immigration. ICE responded by saying that they would just increase immigration raids in New Jersey.

BILLARY MEETS THE MARKETPLACE: A funny thing happened on their way to insignificance — The New York Times’ Maureen Dowd paid $177 for her ticket to see the Clintons yammer, but prices for future events have plummeted. Tickets to see the duo at the Financial Centre in Sugar Land, Texas, on Dec. 4, are running anywhere from $11 to $80 depending on the seat quality.

RUH-ROH: We thought we might see a backgammon. They’re very rare, but this was a good start on one!

PROLIFE WIN: After a years-long legal battle, EWTN Global Catholic Network has won its lawsuit against the Obama administration’s “contraception mandate.”

THE MAIN TRUTH: “[The Word Became Flesh] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” — John 1:1-2, 14

WOW: Must See Video — This moment from the senior reining finals at the American Quarter Horse Association World Show is amazing. If only we all listened and obeyed Our Lord the way Ms. Dreamy listens and obeys her rider, Dan Huss.

2018_12 01 G & B Bush

RIP BUSH 41: “The inspiring life of former President George Herbert Walker Bush, who died Friday at the age of 94, helped ignite the thousand points of light he saw as illuminating American greatness, hope and opportunity, said President Trump. “Through his essential authenticity, disarming wit, and unwavering commitment to faith, family, and country, President Bush inspired generations of his fellow Americans to public service.” The former president joined his wife, Barbara, who died in April at the age of 92. They were married for 73 years.

2018_12 01 AP Bush v Castro

MEDIA: AP shows its anti-American colors — I’m going to skip all the other nasties the Left poured out on a recently deceased president. Let’s just say that they and their lapdog journos totally deserve our contempt.

INGRAHAM: A first lady double standard? — The Ingraham piece is from last year. This year, The Washington Post devoted an entire article to criticizing Melania’s Christmas decorations and Vice said it was a “Christmas from Hell.”

2018_11 30 Tom Arnold

TOM ARNOLD: Math is not his thing. My fave response to his absurd tweet: “Assuming you’re right, the campaign against gun rights can stand down and let things run their course. In no time at all, the few that survive will voluntarily disarm.”

LIBERALS: People who create problems to make themselves feel miserable. — According to HuffPo, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” is “seriously problematic.” The video above quotes “woke” tweeters bitching about racism, homophobia, and a serious need for diversity training. ALL of them kinda sorta TOTALLY MISS THE POINT, which is that all those bad behaviors get shown up at the end when Rudolph saves Christmas. Sheesh.

LIBERAL LOGIC: “No human being is illegal. Let them all in.” and “A fetus needs permission to reside in a uterus.”

FAKE HATE CRIME: Student targeted himself — Both incidents that shook the Towson, MD, campus involved backward swastikas and targeted specific individuals, including the accused.

#METOO: Believe the women? One of the women says, “I feel like most people don’t believe he’s a predator because of his status as an educator.” According to Tyson’s comments about the allegations, due process is cool again. I’m sure everyone who slandered Brett Kavanaugh is now going to say sorry.

Border Crisis

IMMIGRATION: Mayor of Tijuana is NOT happy — Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum called for the arrest of the organizers of the Central American illegal migrant caravans. It’s not surprising that Gastelum is growing impatient with the caravan. There is an estimated over 6,000 migrants settled in his city, and they are beginning to cause problems. “We’ve have never, never, never, never had this problem,” Gastelum said. “Some of these people are coming in violently, disrespectfully, not as a good, law-abiding citizen. And that’s what’s hurt us.” Gastelum said the migrants are also significantly hurting Tijuana economically.

ILLEGALS IN TIJUANA: Tons of trash — Little wonder the mayor is fed up.

2018_12 01 Border wall

BUILD THE WALL: President Donald Trump’s $5 billion request for funds to use building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border equals 0.11% of the estimated $4.5 trillion the federal government is expected to spend this fiscal year. The funding for food stamps in October alone cost more than the president’s entire FY 2019 request for the border wall.

IMMIGRATION: Using kids to game the system — Homeland Security Department reported a 110% increase in the number of men showing up at the border with children, noting they can be used not just by families, but also by by smugglers and drug traffickers to enter the country. Families are also using fraud to game the immigration system. The department said that 170 families have been caught lying about their relationships to enter the U.S.

KEEP THEM OUT: DHS Sec Nielsen sent an internal memo to the leaders of the departments of State, Labor, Energy, Transportation, Interior or Justice asking them to send law enforcement officers to the border to help keep caravan riders from entering the U.S. Should they do it, the move would be unprecedented. But then, so is the assault on our border. If law enforcement does head to the border, active duty troops will be pulled from their mission sooner, DHS officials said.

NAFTA GONE: USMCA IN — President Donald J. Trump signed a three-way trade deal with Mexico and Canada that will replace the outdated NAFTA if it is approved by Congress. “This is an agreement that first and foremost benefits working people, something of great importance to all three of us here today,” the President said.

BORDER: Hannity, Bongino, Rivera — Good episode, even if I do hate it when these shows devolve into people talking on top of one another. BUILD THE WALL.

ASYLUM: Bogus claims — New numbers from the Department of Homeland Security show that just 9 percent of asylum claims made by individuals from Central America turn out to be legitimate. Clearly, we are wasting resources on detention space, court space and the time of our asylum officers and immigration judges to handle so many frivolous claims.

ELECTION FRAUD: Always seems to favor Democrats –– Orange County, a traditionally conservative enclave in Southern California “somehow” turned all blue after election day, when Democrats “found” tens of thousands of votes that managed to flip every House seat result.

2018_11 27 Cant always believe woman

H8T: The Party of Tolerance — I read half-way through this mess, but really HAD to stop when I saw someone accusing Palin of hurting the poor with oil drilling. HER gubernatorial negotiations with the oil companies got all Alaskans annual fair share pay outs from them! Even military personnel can apply. The Buzzers were in AK for 6 years and got muy dineros every year, because of SARAH PALIN.

H8T: Profiling — A Massachusetts landlord told a Harvard University graduate student that he wanted her to move out of her apartment because her legally owned, fully compliant firearms made some of her roommates uncomfortable. Turns out the roommates only found out she had guns, because they searched her room. And why did they feel compelled to violate her privacy? Because she has a MAGA hat and she’s from Alabama! And why does she have firearms? Well, gollee, #MeTooers … cuz she’s an abuse survivor. Roomies don’t care. They are forcing her to move out, which means finding new digs, packing, moving, etc. Exam week starts on December 12. Hopefully, the witches will let her put off moving until intersession. Sheesh.

2018_11 30 Uranium 1

WHISTLEBLOWER: Disturbing if accurate — According to Daily Caller, the FBI illegally raided a whistle-blower’s home, ignoring his protected whistle-blower status and totally bypassing his lawyer. The whistle-blower properly delivered documents showing that federal officials failed to investigate potential criminal activity regarding then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, and Rosatom, the Russian company that purchased Uranium One.

2018_11 30 NPR

FAKE NEWS: NPR puts out totally false story — After being called out by the Washington Post, which is surely no friend to the Trumps, NPR retracted its blatantly false article saying Donald Trump Jr. had committed perjury during testimony in Congress on Russia and a proposed building in Moscow.

DEPTHS OF DARKNESS: The cusp of an abyss — Who knew that a booming economy with record low unemployment was the “depths of darkness”? Who knew that Democrats taking back the House was an epic moment in American history like landing on the moon and passing civil rights? Never mind that it’s absolutely NORMAL for the House to flip to the other party in the first midterm after a new president takes office. ::snort::

Border Crisis

2018_11 28 Tear gas

CARAVAN: On Ellis Island, they sent sick wannabe immigrants back where they came from. More than one-third of the 6,000 migrants gathered in Tijuana are receiving medical care. There are confirmed cases of hepatitis, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, chickenpox, lice, plus a variety of skin infections.

 

 

VIDEO: President Trump’s daughter-in-law talks sense with Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ dad.

CARAVAN: Border Patrol keeps us safer. While liberal ranted about tear gas, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers kept busy arresting dangerous criminal aliens living in the United States illegally – including a bunch of gang members, two violent sex offenders and a guy wanted for murder.

WORDS: The top two results Word Finder gave me for my SCRABBLE rack today were CACA and GAGA. LOL!! And speaking of words … I am loving my early-Christmas Kindle e-reader, especially the very nifty “point and open dictionary” feature. I find myself looking up words I know just to see if what I think they mean is what the dictionary says.

MUST WATCH VIDEO: Gratitude is awesome. A video made in Charlotte has gone viral with more than 20 million views! It started with a local church putting a creative spin on gratitude for the holidays.

TRUMPS LIGHT NATIONAL CHRISTMAS TREE: Much talk about GOD. Nov 28, 2018 – The lighting ceremony for this year’s big tree outside the White House. Our gracious and beautiful First Lady laughed off the storm of vicious criticism of the indoor Christmas decorations she chose for this year. “I hope everybody will come over and visit it,” she said. “In real life, they look even more beautiful. And you’re all very welcome to visit the White House, the people’s house.”

2018_11 29 Adoption

ONE LESS ABORTIONIST: Thank God! Columbus, Ohio abortionist Harley Blank has voluntarily surrendered his medical license rather than face formal disciplinary proceedings. While working as an abortionist at Founder’s Women’s Health Care, Blank illegally prescribed controlled substances to men, failed to maintain medical malpractice insurance as required by law, and did an abortion on a woman who had an ectopic pregnancy that later ruptured, leaving her unable to bear children.

In a statement released on November 28, 2018, Greater Columbus Right to Life (GCRTL) stated, “We have known for a considerable amount of time that Founder’s is not a safe place for women or their unborn children, and we have observed increasingly erratic behavior on the part of Dr. Blank, who joins another Founder’s abortion provider – who is currently serving time in federal prison for child pornography – as having his medical license permanently revoked.”

GENDER: There are two. I heard an ad for DNA ancestry testing and googled for a review of the various kits available. I found this interesting paragraph:

“Results are different for women and men. Women, who have the XX chromosome, can only trace back the maternal line. Men, having the XY chromosome, can track back the maternal and paternal line, painting a complete picture. If you’re a woman, it’s worth asking your brother, if you have one, to take a test and share the results. When some of these services ask for your sex when you order your kit, they simply want to know about your chromosomes.”

VIDEO: Andrew Klavan discusses women who have abandoned their marriages because their exes didn’t hate Trump enough.

TUCKER CARLSON: Climate Hectoring. “Strange he [Al Gore] never became president.” LOL! “Al Gore’s home has a carbon footprint twenty times bigger than the average American home.”

GOOGLE: It’s not paranoia if they’re really out to get you. Daily Caller has obtained internal Google documents showing employees discussing the pros/cons of burying conservative sites, particularly Daily Caller and Breitbart News, in search results in response to Donald Trump’s winning of the 2016 election. A Google VP was part of conversation. This is the second known instance of Google employees advocating for manipulating search results for anti-Trump purposes.

OOPS: Yale study shows Liberals are more racist. According to a study at Yale, white liberals have a tendency to downplay their own level of intelligence when they interact with blacks and other “racial minorities.” The study also revealed that white conservatives don’t do this and they tend to use the same language no matter who they’re speaking with. Which would point to conservatives not seeing color as much as liberals. This seems to go against the popular narrative that white conservatives are the ones who have issues with race.

UNIVERSITIES: People pay real money to send their kids to these places? Detroit’s Oakland University is passing out hockey pucks to faculty and student government leaders to throw at active shooters should such an event break out. Meanwhile, The Associated Students of Stanford University have awarded a conservative club a measly $16.50 to host Dinesh D’Souza, then slapped a more than $19,000 fee on the club for “security.” And to add insult to injury, when a private supporter offered to pay that exorbitant fee, Stanford said nope, cuz half of the funding to pay for security had to originate from “on campus sources.”
