One of the most powerful weapons President Trump has is his wife. A former model, she is graceful, charming, and as humble as she is beautiful. What a difference it is from the former First Lady, an entitlement queen who presumed to dictate what our children must eat while her own daughters got gourmet meals at their exclusive school, Sidwell Friends. While addressing the crowd in Poland today, Mrs. Trump could have spoken Polish. Someone pointed out that she emphasized being an AMERICAN and damn proud of it. Most of the feeble criticism aimed at her by the left is how much her wardrobe cost and did she pay for it herself. One thing for sure is that her gowns weren’t given to her, like all of Michelle’s were, because the Obamas never came out of pocket for ANYTHING. Melania’s dresses didn’t come from the plus-size store either.
Why America Needs a Humble First Lady Melania Trump has brought to Washington modesty and a family-first attitude.
We need a first lady who will, in a subtle, understated way, promote greater social cohesion at a moment when America is bitterly polarized and our elites seem increasingly disconnected from the lives of ordinary people. We need someone who will lead by example rather than by command. Someone whose priorities and concerns are relatable to Americans — especially mothers — of all backgrounds. Someone who will eschew the temptations of Washington and focus on quiet displays of kindness, generosity, and sacrifice.
Raising a presidential son would be hard enough in normal times. Doing so amid the most vicious political polarization in modern history is even more difficult. Consider what Barron and his mother have had to deal with since November. A few weeks after the election, Rosie O’Donnell tweeted a link to a video suggesting that Barron might be autistic. On Inauguration Day, a Saturday Night Live writer tweeted that “Barron will be this country’s first homeschool shooter.” During New York Fashion Week in February, a New York Times reporter described Mrs. Trump as a “hooker” in a private conversation that went public.

“Color is a power which directly influences the soul.” ― Wassily Kandinsky
Clinton: Trump supporters in ‘basket of deplorables…
DESPICABLE HAG
During the Obama years we were represented by a Muslim who constantly denigrated our way of life and seemed embarrassed to have to speak for the nation of racists he had taken command of. The media fawned over the guy; the other real dictators in the world knew he was a worthless chump who could be taken for billions of taxpayer dollars. There was nothing we could do but cringe as this hapless clown made a fool of himself spouting empty words that nobody believed.
What a difference a year makes. President Trump and his stunning First Lady made a stop in Poland this morning on the way to Germany, fast becoming Muslim Merryland, thanks to Angela Merkel. The media sneered, still suffering butthurt from having outed a 15-year-old who made a video they didn’t like and having it blow up in their faces. As I watched it live this morning (about 4:00 a.m.), I thought about how fortunate we are, in this time when the murderous munchkin in North Korea is threatening a nuclear strike, that we have a leader with the balls to face him with the power to annihilate the country in a matter of minutes.
There are a few salient points he made in his speech, which I have tried to condense her, without much luck. As always, I try to make the best use of your time by being brief.
Trump calls Poland exemplary ally against Russian ‘destabilizing behavior’
“We’ve discussed our mutual commitment to safeguarding the values at the heart of our alliance: freedom, sovereignty and the rule of law,” he said in a joint press conference after meeting Polish President Andrzej Duda. “We are working with Poland in response to Russia’s actions and destabilizing behavior. And we are grateful for the example Poland has set … by being one of the few nations that actually meets its (NATO’s) financial obligations.”
The president said he has a range of options on how to deal with North Korean President Kim Jong Un but would rather not make them public.
“But I have some pretty severe things that we’re thinking about,” Trump said during a joint press conference Thursday with Polish President Andrzej Duda.

Trump swipes at EU: USA has made ‘most terrible’ deals in history & warns ‘IT WILL CHANGE’
He said: “We look forward to making the economic ties between United States and Poland stronger through our trading relationship – a balanced and reciprocal one.
“We want a reciprocal relationship. we don’t have too many of them.
“I have said before, the US has made some of the worst trade deals ever in history.
Trump Renews Pledges in Warsaw After Obama’s Broken Promises to Prague
Trump’s affirmation of U.S. ties to the young democracies of Eastern Europe aims to restore relationships damaged by President Barack Obama, who spoke to the Czech people in Prague in 2009, only to turn his back on them — and on Poland — by abandoning missile defense later that year.
It is important to remember just how profound President Obama’s betrayal was. He promised the people of Prague:
So let me be clear: Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile activity poses a real threat, not just to the United States, but to Iran’s neighbors and our allies. The Czech Republic and Poland have been courageous in agreeing to host a defense against these missiles. As long as the threat from Iran persists, we will go forward with a missile defense system that is cost-effective and proven.
Obama did exactly the reverse of what he said he would do: he abandoned missile defense in Europe long before he reached a deal with Iran. That decision set the stage for an Iran deal that was considerably weaker than promised.
Worse, Obama informed the Czech prime minister of his decision on missile defense after midnight, and told the Polish prime minister on September 17, 2009, which was the 70th anniversary of the Nazi invasion of Poland.
Trump in Poland: ‘The West Will Never, Ever be Broken’
“Just as Poland cannot be broken, I declare today for the world to hear that the West will never, ever be broken,” Trump said. “Our values will prevail, our people will thrive and our civilization will triumph.”
“In the Polish people, we see the soul of Europe — your nation is great because your spirit is great and your spirit is strong,” Trump said, calling Poland the “geographic heart of Europe.”
CtH: We hosted a Polish exchange student many years ago. She now has a Ph.D. in Economics and we are Facebook friends. When I posted this on my Timeline, she responded, “It was a GREAT speech.”
President Trump Salutes People of Poland: “One Million Poles Sang Three Simple Words ‘We Want God!’”
And when the day came on June 2nd, 1979, and 1 million Poles gathered around victory square for their very first mass with their Polish pope, that day every communist in Warsaw must have known that their oppressive system which soon come crashing down. (Applause) They must have known it at the exact moment during Pope John Paul II’s sermon when a million Polish men, women, and children, suddenly raised their voices in the single prayer. A million Polish people did not ask for wealth. They did not ask for privilege. Instead, 1 million Poles saying three simple words: ‘We want God.’”
HAH! Poles SHUT DOWN NBC Hack After She Tries to Sneak in Third Question
When NBC White House Correspondent Hallie Jackson tried to pin President Trump down on the reported Russian hacks during the election, he wouldn’t bite. She tried to slip in a third question on Obama, so the Poles stepped in:
“Dear Lady… it was two questions. Thank you very much. “
And with that President Trump and President Duda left the stage.
In case you haven’t heard yet,CNN,the ‘most trusted name in news’ was so incensed by the trump bodyslam video they found the Reddit user claiming responsibility for it and threatened to out him if he didn’t apologize.It took less than 24 hours.Consider:they’ve searched desperately for 8 months for any kind of evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia…nothing.Still,Obama hack Robert Meuller has assembled an all star team of political assassins to find anything to charge him with.
CNN Hunts Down Guy Who Made Trump Slamming CNN Logo GIF, Gets Him To Apologize Or Be Doxxed

How CNN found the Reddit user behind the Trump wrestling GIF
The apology came after CNN’s KFile identified the man behind “HanA**holeSolo.” Using identifying information that “HanA**holeSolo” posted on Reddit, KFile was able to determine key biographical details, to find the man’s name using a Facebook search and ultimately corroborate details he had made available on Reddit.
How CNN threatened to dox the WWE Trump meme creator
CNN Blackmails Source of Donald Trump Wrestling Video
CNN is not publishing “HanA**holeSolo’s” name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.
CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.
The posting function wouldn’t load, so I posted some things under the posts by CtH and Bluebird. Please take the time to check them out.
There is a link about the former organizer-in-chief advising Americans to not feel so patriotic on the 4th holiday. Spoken like a true America-hating Muslim jerked. We suffered 8 long years listening to him run down the nation so many sacrificed everything for. Patriots set things right last November and the socialists have gone insane since then.
With all the chaos in the world today — Putin messing with Syria, Europe suffering bomb and vehicle attacks, and yesterday, North Korea launched an ICBM with the range to reach Alaska — I thank the Almighty that we have a man of strength and determination to carry the load of keeping us safe.
US-Backed Forces Breach Center Of ISIS ‘Capital’ In Syria
THE FORCES FIGHTING ISIS ARE GLAD THEY KNOW WHICH SIDE THIS AMERICAN PRESIDENT IS ON
The battle for Raqqa began in June when the Kurdish-led SDF assaulted the city, following a campaign to secure the surrounding countryside. U.S.-backed fighters completely surrounded Raqqa Sunday, after crossing the Euphrates River on the southern edge of the city.
Unless you’ve been camping in Outer Mongolia you have no doubt heard of Liberal Land’s collective outrage that a president would actually hit back instead of just accepting the nonstop assault on him, his administration, and his family. In their zeal to inflict as much pain as humanly possible they have ignored the fact that much of the compact with the American people that he made as a candidate he’s getting fulfilled. Withdrawing from TPP, pulling US out of the Paris climate hoax, bringing more real jobs here, building the military, stemming the hordes of illegals flooding across the border, and Obamacare will soon, hopefully, be officially buried.
Some may consider the mud fight the president is engaging in with the media gasbags to be beneath the dignity of the office. People like me are just glad to see someone who will fire back at his antagonists. If you haven’t seen the source of the left’s collective outrage, here it is:

CNN Boss Jeff Zucker Runs When Confronted by James O’Keefe
THIS PUNK HAS ALREADY BEEN PUT ON NOTICE THAT ONCE CNN IS BOUGHT OUT HE’LL BE ASKED TO MOVE ON
New York – Project Veritas President, James O’Keefe confronted CNN boss, Jeff Zucker Thursday morning over the recent bombshell undercover videos which exposed CNN for pushing the Trump-Russia story for ‘ratings’.
James O’Keefe went directly to Zucker’s residence in New York to confront him Thursday morning..
He asked Jeff Zucker, “Do you have a comment, sir, about the Russia story?”
Instead of answering, he jumped into the vehicle waiting for him while his bodyguard and doormen blocked him. James O’Keefe said it was ‘cowardly’.
Steven Crowder goes UNDERCOVER: ‘Stealing’ Illegal Immigrant’s Jobs
Steven Crowder took to the streets undercover to find out if illegals were really doing the jobs that Americans didn’t want to do. He says the results will genuinely shock you. Also it’s pretty funny!
Wow $45,000 or higher a year tax free is pretty dang good. I have friends and family members that wish they could bring home that kind of money and they’d be fine with paying taxes on it!
I loved it when he started down bidding the illegals, but it was easy because most of them wouldn’t work below a certain dollar amount, as he showed with that one guy who wouldn’t work for less than $160 a day.
And that last part where he had a group in the back of his truck…well that was just funny. Also a little sad, but still funny. LA RAZA!
Note that this video was created on Friday, before Trump’s wrestling tweet or before O’Keefe released his last video of the morning show producer hammering Trump.
Whittle’s overall point about media bias is accurate, as we all well know. They have been trying to destroy the Trump presidency from day one and they are having a big impact on elections.
TECHNOLOGY HAS PROVIDED SOME MIRACULOUS THINGS. THERE ARE NOW GLASSES THAT ALLOW COLOR BLIND PEOPLE TO SEE COLORS FOR THE FIRST TIME. THERE ARE NUMEROUS VIDEOS OF PEOPLES’ REACTION TO SEEING COLORS FOR THE FIRST TIME. THIS ONE IS PARTICULARLY TOUCHING.
Barack Obama never hid his abject contempt for our military. Like the spineless coward that he is, he announced that once he ascended to his throne he would cut and run from Iraq, removing the only safeguard those people had from the savagery that is ISIS. All the blood and treasure that we sacrificed to try to stabilize that country went for nothing as he left billions in military assets which the terrorists used to butcher innocent men, women, and children. He slashed our manpower, cut their budgets, and reduced our defenses to a point we could not sustain a war on two fronts. He knew not a damn thing about military strategy, but ignored what his generals, who knew what they were doing. He was just sooo damn smart. And the media went right along with him. I prayed for our warriors like Chrissy’s daughters and Grunt’s son.
Of all the people who breathed a sigh of relief when Trump was elected, our soldiers were among those most pleased. They knew they finally had a Commander-in-Chief who loved and respected them.
Obama never shied away from slapping our people in the face
THEN ALONG CAME THAT TRUMP GUY
Trump Honors Veterans At Celebrate Freedom Rally
President Donald Trump delivered an Independence Day address honoring American veterans — hundreds of whom came from the Washington, D.C. area to attend the “Celebrate Freedom Rally” at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
“America is a land rich with heroes,” said Trump at the event, which included wounded warriors who are patients at the Walter Reed Medical Center.
During his speech, the president personally saluted World War II veteran Harry Miller for his lifelong service and wounded warrior Luis Avila. Miller enlisted in the reserves at 15, even though he was not old enough to serve. He fought in Europe and in The Battle of the Bulge. Avila, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, was on a fifth deployment when he was wounded, losing his leg, during an intelligence reconnaissance mission.
Here’s a little more about Harry Miller
Here’s a little more about Luis Avila
Hussein Obama used to attend Freedom Rally’s too
OVER THE WEEKEND THERE WERE “IMPEACH TRUMP” RALLIES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, WELL PUBLICIZED AND REPORTED ON BY THE MEDIA WHORES. THERE WAS NOT A WORD MENTIONED ABOUT THE FREEDOM RALLY OR THE FACT WE ARE LOSING THE GREATEST GENERATION AT AN ALARMING RATE. SOON THEY WILL ALL BE GONE AND WE WILL NEVER SEE ANYTHING LIKE THEM AGAIN. THEY HAD A GOOD SUPPLY OF SOMETHING THIS NATION HAS LITTLE OF… GUTS. THE WILL TO DO WHAT’S RIGHT. PUTTING THEIR COUNTRY ABOVE THEIR OWN SAFETY. ALL BECAUSE THEY CONSIDERED IT THEIR DUTY. WE BLESS AND HONOR THEM AND THE FAMILIES WHO SUFFERED WITH THEM.
After a while trying to keep up with the tragicomedy that is American politics today there comes a time when you just need to take a time out and enjoy life a little.
O’Keefe Drops 3rd Undercover Bombshell
CNN Producer: “Voters Stupid as ‘Sh*t”
Project Veritas dropped a 3rd bombshell undercover video of CNN early Friday morning as part of a series dubbed ‘American Pravda’. In this video, CNN Associate Producer, Jimmy Carr trashes American voters by calling them ‘stupid as sh*t’. He also trashed Kellyanne Conway saying that “she looks like she got hit with a shovel”.
Bonifield went on to say that the CEO of CNN, Jeff Zucker demanded that his news channel get back to the Russia story that is a ratings winner for CNN.
Bonifield laughed off the notion that the media has an ethical responsibility and said ‘it’s a business’ and ‘they gotta do what they gotta do to make money’.
The second video was released by Project Veritas on Wednesday. It shows one of CNN’s most prominent left-leaning political commentators, Van Jones admitting that the Russia story is a ‘Nothing Burger’.
PV Journalist: “Would it be fair to question the, I don’t want to be rude here. I’ll be careful how I put it, you’re apparently some percentage Irish or Scottish. Would it be fair to question the intellect of the American voter?”
Jimmy Carr: “Oh no. They’re stupid as sh*t.”
Jimmy Carr continued to bash the Trump White House and said that Kellyanne Conway is an ‘awful woman’ who “looks like she got hit with a shovel”.
Jimmy Carr also brought up the fact that their ratings are soaring because they reporting on Russia, ISIS etc.

European Court Of Human Rights Sentences 10-Month-Old Sick Baby To Die, Won’t Let Parents Come To US For Possible Life-Saving Treatment
He’s a terminally ill 10-month-old baby who has now been sentenced to death by the European Court on Human Rights – an Orwellian organization if ever there has been one – which determined that while his parents wanted to take him to the United States for a long-shot potentially life-saving treatment, they could not. Instead, the Court ruled, the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children would withdraw all life support, killing Charlie. What was the Court’s justification? Charlie had to “die with dignity.” http://www.dailywire.com/news/18103/evil-european-court-human-rights-sentences-10-ben-shapiro
MSNBC fires Greta Van Susteren, replaces her with liberal host
SHE WASN’T CONFRONTATIONAL ENOUGH TO SUIT THE PUNKS
MSNBC said that Van Susteren’s nightly 6 p.m. show would be replaced with one hosted by Ari Melber, MSNBC’s chief legal correspondent who also hosts his own weekend show, “The Point.”
The reliably liberal Melber worked on John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign and also served as a legislative aide to Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., before attending law school and moving into media work.
Report: Fraud In Obamaphone Program As High As 65 Percent Whenever a government program is handing out free stuff you can bet there will be massive fraud.
A massive portion of Obamaphone recipients are receiving the benefit after lying on their applications, according to a new 90-page report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
An undercover sting operation showed ineligible applications were approved 63 percent of the time, and a review that found that 36 to 65 percent of beneficiaries in various categories had lied in easily-detectable ways but were approved anyway.
The fraud reached unheard-of proportions because the Federal Communications Commission let the task of screening for eligibility fall to phone companies that profit off of enrolling as many people as possible. http://dailycaller.com/2017/06/29/two-thirds-of-obamaphone-recipients-may-have-lied-about-being-poor/
The proper thing to do would be to soundly condemn the way Trump has gotten down and dirty with his constant tormentors. A consensus of GOP senators ( who all skipped out early yesterday for their July 4th break) and every last leftist loon claim shock, embarrassment, and disgust at his rude behavior toward a poor defenseless female who has called him every unholy name in the book. Bush was accosted nonstop for 8 long years and never hit back. He was a grand target for liberal abuse. They never tired of tormenting him. They will find out in due time Donald trump is no George W. Bush. That’s precisely why we elected him.He won’t tolerate a bunch of sh*t from worthless slugs who contribute nothing of value to America. In a way he reminds me of the incomparable John Belushi from Animal House.
FOOD FIGHT!!!!!

This Is What CNN Focused On For 13 Hours Straight
CNN’s TV coverage was no less intense. Beginning with the 9 a.m. hour, the network covered the tweets in depth every hour as anchors, panelists and guests expressed their outrage that the tweets.
CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta appeared to demand an apology for the tweets at the end of White House Sanders’s press briefing Thursday afternoon. “No apology from the president, Sarah?” Acosta asked as Sanders walked away from the podium. http://dailycaller.com/2017/06/29/cnn-cranks-up-the-outrage-during-day-long-marathon-on-two-trump-tweets/
Sarah Huckabee Sanders Defends POTUS’s Tweets: Trump ‘Fights Fire With Fire’

On Thursday President Trump fired back– And hit Mika and Joe HARD
Mark Levin Slams ‘Bad Lounge Act’ Morning Joe, Compares Scarborough to Banjo Player in Deliverance “Don’t I remember Joe Scarborough in the audience when President Trump was giving his State of the Union address jumping up like a clapping seal over and over and over again?” Levin began. “The guy’s been to Mar-a-Lago, he’s been to the White House, he’s been to Trump’s State of the Union… and now all of a sudden he’s part of a bad lounge act over there at the conga line of left-wing freaks they call MSNBC.”
Perhaps there is no better window on the awfulness of the self-appointed New York-to-DC ruling class than MSNBC’s Morning Joe. The show revolves around a collection of chattering-class bores who devote the start of their day to seconding each other’s shallow and smug criticisms of Trump. The women make faces; the men roll their eyes.
Co-host Mika Brzezinski is a feminist who lectures other women on the need to show firmness in a man’s world. Yet she spends most of the show acting like a prim, entitled Victorian-era dingbat on a fainting couch. She grips her chair for balance while she makes faux-terrified faces, then turns to “Joe” for guidance on how to address this or that Trump “outrage.” “Joe” is the vainglorious former Congressman Joe Scarborough. The two are engaged, but one suspects the relationship won’t last Trump’s two terms.
Scarborough resembles a beady-eyed frat boy whom one can more easily imagine bellowing over a keg than cracking open a serious book. Yet he casts himself as Trump’s moral and intellectual better. Trump, you see, lacks Joe’s “substance.” https://spectator.org/trump-and-morning-joke/
Dem Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee Demands Trump Resign After Tweets Attacking ‘Morning Joe’… WHY DOES SHE ALWAYS WEAR A CABBAGE ON HER JACKET?
Jackson Lee posted a video to her Twitter account slamming Trump for the tweets, particularly for the comment targeting Brzezinski.
“There’s a sense of hurt feelings,” she said. “Mr. President, bleeding from the face? You’re again attacking women, professional women? You’re calling someone a psycho with all of the individuals fighting for their lives, suffering from mental health needs? You’re attacking a woman, a professional woman, about her IQ?”
Here are a few items that are unrelated but worth a look, if you have nothing else to do.
Flashback: Obama Mocked the Idea That a US Election Could be Rigged
It wasn’t until after Donald Trump won the election that the Left got all twitchy about the election having been rigged. Before the election, when they thought Hillary had it locked up, they said rigging an American election was impossible.
Obama: “There’s no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America’s election in part because they’re so de-centralized and the numbers of votes involved. There is no evidence that that has happened in the past or that there’s incidences which that will happen this time.”
Obama went on to mock Trump and told him to “stop whining” and get votes so he can win the election.
LAWS ONLY MATTER IF YOU RESPECT THEM. OBAMA NEVER DID. NEITHER DO HIS JUDGES.
The judges in those deportation cases have rejected Mr. Trump’s argument that he has wide latitude to decide who gets kicked out, without having to worry about district courts second-guessing him on facts of the case. Instead, the judges said, they get to decide their jurisdiction, and that extends to reviewing Mr. Trump’s immigration policy.

For low-income residents, Philadelphia unveiling income-based water bills
The Philadelphia Water Department next month will launch a low-income assistance program that offers payments starting at $12 per month and is open even to those who haven’t fallen behind on their bills. For those who have, that debt would be frozen indefinitely.
Officials are hoping to enroll upward of 50,000 households, five times those in the city’s current program for low-income payers.
