Ground Zero: Charlottesville, Va.

There is a rally today of people of pallor who are opposed to Social Justice reactionaries trying to erase our past history by removing “racist” statues of Confederate generals. The media refers to them as FAR RIGHT…FAR RIGHT…FAR RIGHT.

Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia
Now gathering around statue of Thomas Jefferson. Chanting ‘white lives matter’


University of Virginia police dispersed a gathering of far-right protesters on the Charlottesville, Va. campus Friday night ahead of a planned demonstration by white nationalists, white supremacists and alt-right groups on Saturday.
Police arriving on the scene declared the protest on Friday an “unlawful assembly” and told demonstrators to disperse, video footage of the gathering shows.
The protest planned for Saturday has ignited intense opposition in Charlottesville, and large counter-demonstrations are expected to materialize in response.
Even on Friday, a group of protesters turned out in opposition to the far-right demonstration, chanting “black lives matter.”

Virginia newspaper uses Trump’s ‘fire and fury’ comment to describe white nationalist rally

Wielding torches and shouting phrases like “white lives matter” and “you will not replace us,” the protestors gathered in an apparent lead-up to Saturday’s planned demonstration against the removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

Stay away from Charlottesville rally, urges Va. governor

IT SEEMS SURREAL THAT THE MOST VICIOUS PUNK IN POLITICS WOULD LABEL ANYBODY AS AN “EXTREMIST”

RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe urged Virginians to stay away in a statement released hours before a planned “Unite the Right” rally that could bring thousands of white nationalists, neo-Confederates, alt-right activists, and counter protesters to Charlottesville.
“In advance of [Saturday’s] rally there have been communications from extremist groups, many of which are located outside of Virginia, who may seek to commit acts of violence against rally participants or law enforcement officials.
Many of the individuals coming to Charlottesville are doing so in order to express viewpoints many people, including me, find abhorrent.
The city became an ideal protest site for white nationalists.

“This entire community is a very far left community that has absorbed these cultural Marxist principles advocated in college towns across the country, about blaming white people for everything,” said Jason Kessler, who organized the “Unite the Right” rally.

Kessler, a Charlottesville resident, blames what he calls “the anti-white hatred that’s coming out of the city.”
Charlottesville, which has a population of 47,000, had 80 percemt of its voters choose Hillary Clinton last year.
The city has not been known as a hotspot for white nationalism. There aren’t historical precedents to the current white nationalist gatherings in Charlottesville, local historian Rick Britton said in an email

APPARENTLY WE’RE ALL ‘FAR RIGHT’ OR ALT-RIGHT EXTREMISTS WHO NEED TO KEEP OUR MOUTHS SHUT AND TAKE ALL THE RACISTS GARBAGE THE LEFT THROWS AT US.

Peaks and Valleys

Some days our little garden draws a lot of visitors, other days not too many. There is no way to gauge what people are interested in or looking for, because they’re mostly lurkers. That’s fine, most people never comment on anything publicly. Except me, because I don’t much care what anybody thinks. That much should be obvious after more than 6 1/2 years here. Still we persevere, much like the loser of the last presidential election. Except we have morals…and a conscience….and we’re not liars and thieves.

Trump says he won’t fire Mueller, wants probe to wrap up
SOMEBODY, MAYBE THAT BALD-HEADED PRICK TO HIS RIGHT, IS GIVING HIM VERY, VERY BAD ADVICE. MUELLER HAS NO INTENTION OF WRAPPING UP ANYTHING. HE’S GOING FAR AFIELD TO KEEP THIS CHARADE GOING UNTIL THE MIDTERMS OR AFTER.

FBI raid on Paul Manafort’s home indicates aggressive nature of Russia probe
An FBI raid last month at one of the homes of Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, provides the clearest evidence so far that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III is aggressively pursuing the investigation into the campaign’s dealings with Russia and of possible wrongdoing by Manafort.

WHY WAS THE NEWS OF MUELLER’S RAID ON MANAFORT LEAKED SOONER??
WHY IS IT ONLY NEWS THAT WILL HURT TRUMP GET LEAKED?

Michael Savage on Manafort Raid: “Mueller Trying to Flip Someone”

It was Mueller and Comey by the way, mainly Mueller, in his period, where he had the FBI do the biggest Mafia roundups in New York history. And they have a standard operating procedure, which is that they flip people on the bottom and turning them into cooperating witnesses. And once they have a cooperating witness, they bring the next one down and the next one down.

There’s no question in my mind that this raid on Manafort, which came out of the blue, is Mueller trying to flip someone, if he hasn’t already flipped someone. Maybe he got someone underneath Manafort who flipped, and they got Manafort. They get Manafort, and Manafort’s gonna flip. It’s gonna go right up the chain. And they’re gonna get … a couple of them as cooperating witnesses.

[CtH: And what if there’s no one to flip and no evidence of wrongdoing despite this massive witch hunt?  Wouldn’t that be sweet?!]

Federal Judge Orders State Dept To Search Hillary Aides’ Accounts For Benghazi Records
NO NEED TO GET EXCITED. THE LAW HAS NEVER TOUCHED THE CLINTONS AND NEVER WILL. THEY OPERATE WITH IMMUNITY SINCE THEY ARE, FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES (NOT INTENSIVE PURPOSES), ABOVE THE LAW.

Washington D.C. District Court Judge Amit Mehta, an Obama appointee, ordered State to search the accounts of Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, and Jake Sullivan, Clinton’s top aides at the State Department, in response to a lawsuit filed by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch.
Mehta said that the State Department did not do enough to search for all emails it has on its computer systems regarding the Benghazi attacks, which left four Americans dead.
“It is remarkable that we had to battle both the Obama and Trump administrations to break through the State Department’s Benghazi stonewall. Why are Secretary Tillerson and Attorney General Sessions wasting taxpayer dollars protecting Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration?”

[CtH: I’ll say!  How SICK is it to compare this vile woman with the Son of God!]

“You, our nation, our world, is experiencing a black Friday,” Rev. Bill Shillady wrote to Clinton on Nov. 9, 2016, CNN reported. “Our hope is that Sunday is coming. But it might well be hell for a while.”  One day after Clinton’s stunning defeat at the hands of Trump, Shillady wrote that “life is filled with a lot of Fridays” and Good Friday “represented the day that everything fell apart.”

“Today, you are experiencing a Friday. Your Friday is what happened in the last few weeks and last night in the tragic loss. But Sunday is coming!” Shillady wrote.

Judge Jed Rakoff is handling the defamation lawsuit filed by Sarah Palin against the NY Times in June. “The Complaint alleges that the allegedly false statements of fact that are the subject of the Complaint were contradicted by information already set forth in prior news stories published by the Times.” He continues, “However, these prior stories arguably would only evidence actual malice if the person(s) who wrote the editorial were aware of them.”

Creative Conservatism

As you may or may not be aware, some nitwits flew a chicken balloon over the White House that was supposed to resemble President Trump. He wasn’t even there, but that didn’t stop these retards. Given the superior intellect and imagination of conservatives, they jumped all over this idiotic stunt.

After liberal protesters set up a 30-foot inflatable chicken outside the White House, President Trump’s supporters joyfully appropriated the image for their memes.
On Reddit, Trump fans rendered the chicken into meme-worthy images, setting free a torrent of pro-Trump chicken memes.

Kim’s Deadly Gamble

No one would deliberately provoke a world power and risk total annihilation unless they were completely detached from reality. Such seems to be the case with Kim Jong Un, who must think that Donald Trump is the same kind of gutless blowhard that Obama, Clinton, and Carter were. He has stated he plans to launch missiles to land in the waters near Guam as early as mid-month. Maybe he considers China as his bodyguard from American might, or else his “advisers” tell him what he wants to hear, rather than the truth, at the very real risk of being shot.

North Korea details Guam strike plan and calls Trump warning ‘nonsense’

Pyongyang says it will launch four missiles into waters ‘30-40km’ off US territory in clear attempt to goad the US president
North Korea has defied threats of “fire and fury” from Donald Trump, deriding his warning as a “load of nonsense” and announcing a detailed plan to launch missiles aimed at the waters off the coast of the US Pacific territory of Guam.

General Kim Rak Gyom, the head of the country’s strategic forces, declared: “Sound dialogue is not possible with such a guy bereft of reason and only absolute force can work on him”.

APPARENTLY THEY’VE BEEN LISTENING TO CNN.

[CtH: Or maybe he’s trying to tell POTUS how to deal with the murderous dictator he’s forced to work under.]

NBC Slam: Trump and N.K. Sound Like ‘a School Yard Squabble’

If the stakes weren’t so potentially grave, it might otherwise sound like a school yard squabble,” quipped Anchor Lester Holt as he came on the air. “The war of words escalating tonight between the United States and North Korea over nothing less than nuclear weapons.”

Earlier in the day, Secretary of Defense James Mattis told North Korea to cease any actions that would endanger the U.S. or its allies or face “the end of its regime and the destruction of its people.”

Mattis Warns North Korea of ‘The End of Its Regime and the Destruction of Its People’
Wednesday, Defense Secretary James Mattis used dramatic language when warning North Korea, insisting that they face utter devastation if they do not end their pursuit of nuclear weaponry.

Mattis Warns North Korea of ‘The End of Its Regime and the Destruction of Its People’

NoKo BETTER REALIZE THEY’RE NOT DEALING WITH DEMOCRAT BULLSHIT FLINGERS NOW.  THESE PEOPLE KILL AS PART OF THEIR JOB.

Clinton deal in 1994 with North Korea was supposed to freeze Pyongyang’s nuclear program in return for fuel and efforts towards normalized political and economic relations. Here’s Clinton getting taken to the cleaners by Kim Jong-Il, who later violated the framework and started developing nuclear weapons at secret sites.

Before I take your questions, I’d like to say just a word about the framework with North Korea that Ambassador Gallucci signed this morning. This is a good deal for the United States,” Clinton said at the press conference.

“North Korea will freeze and then dismantle its nuclear program. South Korea and our other allies will be better protected. The entire world will be safer as we slow the spread of nuclear weapons”

Obama administration knew about North Korea’s miniaturized nukes

Obama officials tried to downplay the DIA assessment to prevent it from being used to force the president to employ a more assertive North Korea policy.

It was clear what Obama officials were doing in 2013. The DIA report represented inconvenient facts that threatened President Obama’s North Korea “strategic patience” policy — a policy to do nothing about North Korea and kick this problem down the road to the next president.

Tillerson: Trump Spoke to North Korea ‘in a Language That Kim Jong Un Can Understand’

“North Korea’s rhetoric has just ratcheted up louder and louder and more threatening, so I think the president – what the president is doing is sending a strong message to North Korea in language that Kim Jong-Un can understand, because he doesn’t seem to understand diplomatic language,” he said.

“I think the president just wanted to be clear to the North Korean regime on the U.S. unquestionable ability to defend itself, will defend itself and its allies, and I think it was important that he deliver that message to avoid any miscalculation on their part,” Tillerson added.

So Much Stuff, So Little Space

It was a difficult decision where to begin, since the world is spinning so quickly these days. So I decided to post a memorial for an incredible man and musician who made an indelible mark on America.

Glen Campbell, hit singer and guitarist, dead at 81


I REMEMBER MY GRANDMOTHER LOVED WATCHING THE VARIETY SHOW HE HAD AS A REPLACEMENT ONE SUMMER.

Glen Campbell, the upbeat guitarist from Delight, Arkansas, whose smooth vocals and down-home manner made him a mainstay of music and television for decades, has died, his family announced on Facebook on Tuesday. He was 81.

“It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and legendary singer and guitarist, Glen Travis Campbell … following his long and courageous battle with Alzheimer’s disease,” a Facebook statement said.

Campbell is best remembered for a string of country-inflected hits that ran from the mid-’60s to the late ’80s: “Gentle on My Mind,” “Rhinestone Cowboy,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “Wichita Lineman,” “Galveston,” “Southern Nights” and “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle” among them.

BY THE NUMBERS: President Trump’s Historic First 200 Days – Promises Kept and Records Broken

YOU’LL NEVER HEAR A WORD OF THIS ON CNN.

Government Assistance — Food Stamps

  • More than 1.1 million fewer Americans on food stamps under President Trump.

Jobs

  • According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics President Trump added a projected 1,290,000 jobs in his first 200 days (January through July 2017.) President Obama on the other hand lost more than (4,154,000) million jobs in his first 200 days.

Inflation

  • According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics the US inflation rate decreased to an eight month low in June to 1.6%. This is in part due to President Trump’s energy policies that are helping average Americans in their pocket books with cheaper gas and electricity. The rate has not yet been reported for July. (Under Obama the inflation rate sank to a scary -2.1% by July of 2009.)

Housing

  • Sales are red-hot in the US right now. In 2011, houses for sale were on the market an average 84 days. This year, it’s just 45 days.

Regulations

  • One of the first things that President Trump did in office was to reduce the number or burdensome regulations put in place during the Obama era. Regulations cost Americans and American companies money to implement and maintain. Reducing or halting regulations allows companies to spend their money on more prudent money making areas.

BY THE NUMBERS: President Trump’s Historic First 200 Days – Promises Kept and Records Broken

After the Coup, What Then?

EXCELLENT READ BY PAT BUCHANAN

If this city brings Trump down, will the rest of America rejoice?

What will be the reaction out there in fly-over country, that land where the “deplorables” dwell who produce the soldiers to fight our wars? Will they toast the “free press” that brought down the president they elected, and in whom they had placed so much hope?

My guess: The reaction will be one of bitterness, cynicism, despair, a sense that the fix is in, that no matter what we do, they will not let us win.

This is a collaborative enterprise, where everyone protects everyone else’s sources, because all have the same goal: the dumping of Trump. If that requires collusion with criminals, so be it.

Deep State Teams with Fake News: Email Evidence Proves New York Times Soliciting Anti-Trump Bureaucracy Leakers
Emails from a reporter for the New York Times to government employees obtained exclusively by Breitbart News demonstrate that the newspaper’s employees are not just on the receiving end of leaks, but are actually soliciting government employees to become leakers. What’s more, the emails demonstrate the Times colluded with the president of the government union to encourage and solicit these leaks—something that may become highly problematic for both institutions.

Impeachment and Other Liberal Fantasies

The hosts on Redeye Radio overnight yesterday played a cut from some idiot Democrat pundit claiming the party will seize on Trump’s unpopularity to gain the majority in the House in 2018 and “Gasoline” Maxine Waters will be the Speaker. It is hard to imagine anyone more corrupt, amoral, or more fit for residence in a facility for the criminally insane than Nancy Pelosi, but this racist tramp certainly fills the bill. Apparently the Democrat party has devolved into a herd of braying jackasses without humanity and only desiring to control the country until they run it into ruin.

Waters has been screaming incoherently about impeaching the president almost from the day he was elected. You can get away with that when you have a district of single-IQ voters who have re-elected you 22 times based on nothing more than the fact you’re black. Never mind you’ve steered millions to your husband’s bank or paid your daughter 3/4 of a million to mail campaign flyers. They don’t care; steal all the white man’s money you can.

The problem is they believe all the polls showing Trump’s approval rating at about 30%. Polls can be made to show anything, depending on who’s taking them but if they actually try to remove a sitting president based solely on the fact they have a personal animus toward him they may find the going rather difficult.

Is Mueller’s Grand Jury Impeachment Step One?
Sometimes, however, to vote yea or nay on a proposed indictment is not the grand jury’s only option. In certain situations, federal law authorizes a grand jury to file a report detailing its findings, even if criminal charges are not forthcoming. One such situation involves investigations of public officials. Instead of returning an indictment, a grand jury may issue a report that recommends an official’s removal from office.

Rep. Maxine Waters: Trump ‘Believes in Nothing’ and Will Be Impeached by December

“I think he believes in nothing,” Waters said. “I think that he cares about nothing. I think that he’s capable of doing outrageous things.”

“I believe it is possible to impeach him,” she said. “How long is it going to take? I don’t know, but I give it to about December.”

The interviewer then reminded her that the vice president would then become president.

“Could be and we’ll get him next,” she replied.

Maxine Waters Won’t Rule Out All-Black Party

Waters joined “The Breakfast Club” radio show on Monday morning and was asked if it was time for black people to form their own political party.

“No, not at this point,” Waters said. “You have to show that you’re willing and you’re able to put the numbers together and exercise your influence.”

“We still are not voting our influence yet,” she continued. “What we should do is organize our power, exercise our power, particularly in the Democratic Party because that’s where most of us are.”

Waters then suggested that when black people are “strong enough” they may branch out into their own party.

Michael Moore Proposes Plea Deal: Resign and Your Kids Won’t Be ‘Thrown in Jail’

On Friday, anti-Trump activist film producer Michael Moore proposed a plea deal he says only a “malignant narcissist” would turn down.

In a Twitter post, Moore implied that President Donald Trump could trade his presidency for his children’s freedom.

Moore suggested that Trump would be “a malignant narcissist” if he didn’t agree to resign in exchange for criminal investigation and prosecution of his children being dropped – apparently, referring to Democrats’ push for a probe into potential Russian interference in U.S. elections.

Of Democrats and Evangelicals

There is currently a bit of a rift in the democrat party over pure ideology vs. trying to be inclusive. Some have argued that the party should welcome pro-life candidates in an effort to appeal to evangelicals they assume are upset with president Trump. Of course, this is all simply a façade to fool people into thinking they have softened their view on the slaughter of innocents. Then there are the hardliners who steadfastly insist there is no place in the democrat party for anyone not wholly approving of abortion at any point up until the moment of birth.
There are no ‘moderate’ democrats anymore. Haven’t been for some time. The Obamacare vote proved that. They all just have different price tags. Bart Stupak and a few pro-life democrats were reticent to sign on to the healthcare law at first. Had he remained steadfast it is a certainty he could have gotten millions of grateful citizens for heading off the coming disaster. In the end he settled for a worthless promise from Obama there would be no federal funding for abortion. This promise was forgotten the minute they cast their votes. The next election Stupak and almost all his coalition were voted out by people incensed by their cowardice. The democrat party is a pit of vipers and should be shunned by people of faith. Liberalism is their religion and abortion is their sacrament.

Hillary Wants to Preach

Religion is playing a big role in Clinton’s post-election tour. What does she have to gain from sharing her faith now?

Hillary Clinton wants to preach. That’s what she told Bill Shillady, her long-time pastor, at a recent photo shoot for his new book about the daily devotionals he sent her during the 2016 campaign. Scattered bits of reporting suggest that ministry has always been a secret dream of the two-time presidential candidate: Last fall, the former Newsweek editor Kenneth Woodward revealed that Clinton told him in 1994 that she thought “all the time” about becoming an ordained Methodist minister.

The Ghost of Hillary Still Haunts Evangelicals
She’s gone. It’s time to stop fighting the old war. It almost never fails. When I’m asked to speak to Evangelical audiences about politics, I can predict the reaction to the speech based almost entirely on the age of the audience. If a Christian is older than me, he’s often angry. If younger, usually grateful.
Younger Evangelicals (and younger conservatives more generally) saw Hillary as a corrupt choice for president. She was no more honest than Trump, but unlike Trump she was actively hostile to religious liberty and increasingly radical in her support for abortion. That’s bad enough, of course, but older Evangelicals were carrying a full quarter-century of baggage into the fight. Beginning in 1991, she wasn’t just at the center of scandal after scandal, she was on the wrong end of the culture wars, and she was an icon of the brand of arrogant, condescending feminism that most Christian conservatives openly despise. And she was in our face for decades.

Stop Calling Jesus a SocialistIt must be said that Jesus was and is not a socialist by anyone’s definition, save those of his revisionists. The Gospels do not speak of a heavenly economy of democratic access. Instead, they speak of the Kingdom of God as the advent of an impending regime change whose topsy-turvy standard of behavior threatens the lives of the unprepared. Where Jesus stands in the face of government saying his kingdom is not of this world, those aligned with him, the corpus mysticum, stand as a historical reminder that power itself is fleeting and its programs destined for collapse.

WashPost Hypes Poll: Christians ‘Far More Likely’ to Dismiss the Poor as Lazy Bums
This poll from the Post and the liberal Kaiser Family Foundation is three months old, taken from April 13 to May 1. This is not just a poll question; it’s begging for overgeneralization, with “the poor are mostly lazy” being judged by liberals as akin to “Muslims are mostly terrorists” or “Catholic priests are mostly child abusers.” As a citizen, I’d refuse to answer that on the grounds that it’s used to cast aspersions – conservative voters live in a world of ugly, unproven stereotypes.
It also implies that most Christians are largely bad Christians if they don’t favor a government-organized redistribution of wealth. Liberals, including liberal journalists, often suggest private donations to the poor somehow don’t imply Christian values half as much as supporting government action toward the poor.

On This Day in 1782

1782
Washington creates the Purple Heart

On this day in 1782, in Newburgh, New York, General George Washington, the commander in chief of the Continental Army, creates the “Badge for Military Merit,” a decoration consisting of a purple, heart-shaped piece of silk, edged with a narrow binding of silver, with the word Merit stitched across the face in silver. The badge was to be presented to soldiers for “any singularly meritorious action” and permitted its wearer to pass guards and sentinels without challenge. The honoree’s name and regiment were also to be inscribed in a “Book of Merit.”
Washington’s “Purple Heart” was awarded to only three known soldiers during the Revolutionary War: Elijah Churchill, William Brown and Daniel Bissell, Jr. The “Book of Merit” was lost, and the decoration was largely forgotten until 1927, when General Charles P. Summerall, the U.S. Army chief of staff, sent an unsuccessful draft bill to Congress to “revive the Badge of Military Merit.” In 1931, Summerall’s successor, General Douglas MacArthur, took up the cause, hoping to reinstate the medal in time for the bicentennial of George Washington’s birth. On February 22, 1932, Washington’s 200th birthday, the U.S. War Department announced the creation of the “Order of the Purple Heart.”
http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/washington-creates-the-purple-heart
The original Purple Heart award was instituted by George Washington in 1782 to reward troops for “unusual gallantry” and “extraordinary fidelity and essential service.” The award was a purple cloth heart edged in silver braid, and was to be worn over the left breast of the uniform. Only three awards are known to have been issued, of which two are known to exist today.
One of the two known examples of the Badge for Military Merit

Current Awards: In addition to awards to those killed or wounded “in any action against an enemy of the United States”, the criteria for the award of the medal was amended to include those killed or wounded as a result of “an international terrorist attack,” and “as part of a peacekeeping force.” Thus in addition to awards for Grenada (Operation Urgent Fury), Panama (Operation Just Cause) and Iraq (Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom) the medal is awarded for fatal and non-fatal wounds arising as a result of peacekeeping efforts such as Lebanon, Haiti, Somalia, and Bosnia-Croatia.

OKAY, NOW COMES THE RANT THAT YOU JUST KNEW WAS COMING
For more than two centuries our fighting forces have defended our country, often at the cost of a limb or a life.The purple heart is a meager token awarded for their sacrifice. Almost every one of them earned it.
Almost.
In his book,”Unfit for Command” Lee Corsi documented the extreme cowardice, showmanship, and treachery of the 2004 democrat nominee for president and current climate change whack job John Forbes Kerry. He volunteered for service in Vietnam because ‘it would look good on his political resume.’ Those who served with him knew what an unmitigated fraud he was and remains to this day. They are the Swift Boat veterans that the media did their best to minimize but couldn’t, since THEY WERE THERE!
The book documents how he wrangled three Purple hearts in the short span of four months and slithered out of the service to testify at the infamous ‘Winter Soldier’ hearings and sell out the brave men he’d just run away from. One award was scooped up when he threw a grenade into a pile of rice bags and got some rice kernels in his ass. Testimony from a medic who treated him in another event said he had a tiny wooden sliver in his finger that he had to hold to keep it from falling out on its own. He had a cameraman follow him everywhere he went to record his many acts of heroism. Folks in Massachusetts nicknamed him “Liveshot.”
The only thing he ever did well was marry rich women and behave like the arrogant overbearing buffoon that he is. Being a liar and a fraud is part of being a democrat. What really galls me is how he abused the system and cheapened an award that is meant to honor those who have given a measure of themselves to serve. For that he will never be forgiven by those who know the truth.

THE FACT WE NOW HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO VALUES OUR WARRIORS’ SACRIFICE AND GIVES THEM THE FULL-THROATED SUPPORT THEY DESERVE IS A FACT I THANK ALMIGHTY GOD FOR EVERY DAY.

Saturday Shorts

Just a lazy Saturday. Got to WalMart early to fight the food stamp crowd. Finding a handicap parking space is nearly impossible, as are electric carts… at 9:00 AM. A few hits, a few near misses, and back home again.

Here’s How Democrats Plan to Destroy President Trump
Despite all the chaos and firings in the Trump administration, President Trump is delivering for middle class voters. Americans don’t care about Sean Spicer, Reince Priebus or Anthony Scaramucci. They care about jobs, rising incomes, and their retirement accounts.

Donald Trump isn’t a politician — he’s a one-man wrecking ball against our dysfunctional and corrupt establishment. We’re about to see the deluxe version of the left’s favorite theme: Vote for us or we’ll call you stupid. It’s the working class against the smirking class.
They want to marginalize you – to make you feel as though you are in the minority.
So they insult you, demean you, dismiss you – all in hopes that you simply stay home and stay quiet.
But Donald Trump changed all that. He began a movement. Or, as they saying goes, he awakened the sleeping giant.
And the insufferable Smirking Class despises him for it. This is why they want to get rid of him.

‘Everything The President Wants To Do, McMaster Opposes,’ Former NSC Officials Say
“Everything the president wants to do, McMaster opposes,” a former senior official said in a wide-ranging interview. “Trump wants to get us out of Afghanistan — McMaster wants to go in. Trump wants to get us out of Syria — McMaster wants to go in. Trump wants to deal with the China issue — McMaster doesn’t. Trump wants to deal with the Islam issue — McMaster doesn’t.

Report: McCain Wants Congress to Pass ‘Gang of Eight’ Amnesty Bill When He Returns
NOW THAT HE’S DYING WHY DOESN’T THE TEACHEROUS PRICK JUST ADMIT HE’S BEEN A DEMOCRAT ALL ALONG?
McCain, before leaving Washington to get cancer treatments in Arizona, reportedly spoke to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) about joining forces again to pass the “Gang of Eight” bill. After joining Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) to defeat the GOP’s “skinny repeal” of Obamacare, McCain, who has always wanted to be known as a straight-talking independent, was lionized by Democrats and the legacy media, with CNN paying homage to his “maverick moment.”

Neil Cavuto Slams Newsweek Over ‘Lazy Boy’ Trump Cover: ‘This Cover Is a Sin’
On Friday, Neil Cavuto ripped Newsweek for their latest cover depicting President Trump as a ‘lazy boy’, calling it “over the top.”
“I wouldn’t say representative all of mainstream media, this is a bit extreme- but this is an opinion piece that just bashes the president,” he began, “and six months into his presidency, seems to take the conclusion he’s a total disaster with little chance of turning things around.”

Fire H.R. McMaster NOW!

Military service does not guarantee someone is a conservative. It is becoming painfully obvious that President Trump made a grave mistake when he put this Trojan horse in charge of the NSA. He hates Trump and he hates Israel. He’s purging the department of Trump loyalists and has allowed that treacherous hag, Susan Rice, to keep her top secret security clearance. It is also strongly suspected that he is allowing the daily leaks of information from the White House. I work with a couple Democrats who are only intelligent enough to read headlines. Today they were laughing about the leaking of phone conversations Trump had with Mexican president Pena-Nieto.

NSC Purge: McMaster ‘Deeply Hostile to Israel and to Trump’
Jerusalem Post columnist Caroline Glick wrote Wednesday evening that National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster is purging pro-Israel staff from the National Security Council (NSC), turning the administration against President Donald Trump’s policies.
In a Facebook post, Glick noted that “all of these people” whom McMaster has fired this week — Rich Higgins, Derek Harvey, and Ezra Cohen-Watnick — “are pro-Israel and oppose the Iran nuclear deal, positions that Trump holds.”

McMaster BACKS Susan Rice – Believes She ‘Did Nothing Wrong’ in Unmasking Scandal

National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster has concluded key Obama official Susan Rice did nothing wrong in making numerous ‘unmasking’ requests.


MAYBE HE’S SCHTUPPING HER?

We have long suspected H.R. McMaster to be a globalist. As TGP previously reported, Susan Rice wanted General Flynn out. After McMaster was brought in to replace Flynn, she took to her Twitter account to congratulate him and said, “Hope you will be able to choose your team, have direct reporting and daily access to POTUS, and can eliminate Strategic Initiatives Group.”

WOW! McMaster BACKS Susan Rice – Believes She ‘Did Nothing Wrong’ in Unmasking Scandal!

McMaster, On ‘Warpath,’ Purges Key Trump Allies From White House NSC

An ongoing staffing purge being conducted by White House National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster has thrown the West Wing into chaos, according to more than half a dozen Trump administration insiders who told the Washington Free Beacon that McMaster has been targeting long-time Trump loyalists who were clashing with career government staffers and holdovers from the Obama administration.

Trump Considering Sending McMaster to Afghanistan
Mr. Trump, according to several administration officials, has been considering a shake-up that could include appointing Mike Pompeo, the C.I.A. director, to take over as National Security Adviser, while sending General McMaster to command forces in Afghanistan. Such a move could earn General McMaster a fourth star.

NBC News reported on Wednesday that the president recently suggested that Gen. John W. Nicholson Jr., the commander of American-led forces in Afghanistan, be fired. White House officials have said the president has yet to decide on any new moves.

McMaster keeps getting rid of all these people who were appointed to the National Security Council by Michael Flynn. What McMaster seems to be forgetting is that Trump liked Flynn, fired him as NSC chief reluctantly, and sometimes muses that he should have kept him. McMaster would do well to remember that the next time he thinks about firing an “antiglobalist.” Because Trump is an anti-globalist.
