No Swimsuit Competition!

From the Babylon Bee: Trump Agrees To Remove Swimsuit Competition From SCOTUS Nomination Process

“This is long overdue,” said law professor Edgar Ford. “It’s time to put out the message that judges of all shapes and sizes can rule on Constitutional issues. Not just those who look good in a bikini.”

The swimsuit competition has been considered controversial ever since it caused the otherwise-qualified Robert Bork not to get a seat at the Supreme Court in 1987. More recently, the swimsuit competition was why the Republicans wouldn’t even consider Barack Obama’s nominee Merrick Garland, instead waiting for the election of Donald Trump, whom supporters consider to have a better eye for such things.

The Supreme Court contest will continue to involve a Q&A, an evening robe competition, and a talent show. For the talent portion, an insider reportedly advised the contestants that Trump loves puppet shows, “especially if the puppets hit each other.”

Let the Games Begin

The left has been screaming incoherently for the last month about (gasp) separating children from the adults who attempt to sneak into our country illegally to climb on the gravy train. Keep in mind, they couldn’t care less about these children. Never did. It’s just a convenient excuse to hammer the president as an issue for the midterms because they have nothing to offer except hate.

But that issue is about to go on the back burner. Trump, ever the showman with a flair for the dramatic, will announce his pick to replace Kennedy on Monday evening. The left has their next round of attacks pre-prepared. It’s down to about four and it appears to be down to Kethledge and Kavanaugh. Kethledge has been endorsed by Ted Cruz and is said to be soft on immigration. Continue reading

No Real Jeopardy

It all depends on your political affiliation. If you are a conservative you are tried and convicted simply because of the way you think. If you’re a democrat, there is almost no fear of ever being prosecuted, no matter how serious the crimes you commit are. The GOP lacks the political will to punish their friends. The FBI refuses to turn over documents the House oversight committee has demanded and Nunes keeps stalling and threatening real action if….

NOW COMES THIS:

532 Days Later, All Charges Against Trump Inauguration Protesters Are Officially Dropped

This is why they keep protesting, because there are virtually never any real consequences, even if they’re violent. Continue reading

Karma Will Get You

‘Gang’ of rhino poachers mauled to death by pride of lions after breaking into game reserve


At least three suspected rhino poachers have been killed by a pride of lions after they broke into a game reserve in South Africa.

Rangers discovered human remains around 4:30 p.m. local time on July 3 in the immediate vicinity of the lions’ territory at the Sibuya Game Reserve in Kenton-on-Sea in the Eastern Cape, more than 24 hours after an anti-poaching dog alerted her handler that something was amiss. Continue reading

Another Good Man Destroyed

Pruitt has resigned.

From the moment Scott Pruitt took over as head of the EPA, he was a marked man. He was a “climate denier.” That made him worse than a child molester. Employees who were paid to do nothing began resigning in droves as he streamlined the department.

Mr. Pruitt is the subject of at least 13 federal investigations, and a government watchdog agency concluded that he had broken the law with his purchase of a $43,000 secure telephone booth. He was also under investigation for his 2017 lease of a bedroom in a condominium linked to a Canadian energy company’s powerful Washington lobbying firm, and for accusations that he demoted or sidelined E.P.A. employees who questioned his actions.

DIFFERENT PARTY, DIFFERENT RULES.


He has succumbed to the harassment and resigned.

Andrew Wheeler Replaces Pruitt, Media Attacks: Coal Lobbyist, ‘Scorched Earth Agenda’

THIS PROVES THEY WILL ATTACK ANYONE IN TRUMP’S GOVERNMENT.

The New York Times said Wheeler — his critics fear — may do a better job than Pruitt.

“Unlike Mr. Pruitt — who had come to Washington as an outsider and aspiring politician, only to get caught up in a swirl of controversy over his costly first-class travel and security spending — Mr. Wheeler is viewed as a consummate Washington insider who avoids the limelight and has spent years effectively navigating the rules,” the Times reported.

“Special Ed” is Dead

Political pundit, former MSNBC star Ed Schultz dead at 64


Granny told me to never speak ill of the dead.

He was foul mouthed, perpetually angry, hateful of anything to the right of Stalin, and was so bad he was fired from MSNBC. He last worked for RT News, the Russian agency. I won’t miss him.

#Walk Away Gaining Traction

Reuters Poll: Young White Americans Flee Democrat Party in Droves Since Trump’s Election
DEMOCRATS HAVE COMPLETELY THROWN AWAY THE WHITE VOTE. SOME PEOPLE ARE CATCHING ON TO EXACTLY WHAT THE SOCIALIST PARTY IS ALL ABOUT.

Young white Americans, in 2016, favored Democrats over Republicans in 2016 by a 47 to 33 percent margin. Since Trump’s election — and his booming economy which has secured high-paying jobs and record job opportunities — young white Americans’ favoritism for Democrats has disappeared.

Today, 39 percent of young white Americans say they favor Republicans, while another 39 percent of young white Americans say they favor Democrats.

Maxine Waters: Democrat Superstar

Mad Maxine Draws a Crowd of 7 People for a Big Event

Maxine Waters, the Democrat Party icon and ‘rock star’ drew a crowd of seven people for an event in Inglewood. The ‘crowd’ included four students, two teachers, and one school counselor. They either felt sorry for her or they are just diehard supporters.

This event was held at St. Mary’s Academy. That is the district she represents but doesn’t live in. She lives in a mansion in a nice neighborhood.

Black female leaders say Maxine Waters treated unfairly

Nearly 200 black female leaders and allies outside of Congress have signed a letter calling on top congressional Democrats to defend Rep. Maxine Waters after she was criticized by members of her own party for urging people to protest President Donald Trump’s Cabinet members in public spaces

The following was added by CtH … cuz I had a bunch of stuff filed under “Maxine’s Ilk” that fits in with what Pete posted.

2018_06 27 Mad Maxine by Branco

SOW THE WIND: President Trump recently called Maxine Waters “the face of the Democrats.” Conrad Black at National Review described her as “the egregious and inexplicably prosperous African-American foghorn of racist demagogy for decades from the Great Arsenal of Political Stupidity, California.” She claims she didn’t TELL anti-Trumpers to go out and get violent. You keep talking, Maxine, and you’re going to get someone killed.

HERE IS A BRIEF RUN DOWN OF HOW MAXINE’S ILK CELEBRATED INDEPENDENCE DAY THIS YEAR.

TEXAS: A 30-year-old liberal decided to punish a 16-year-old boy for wearing a MAGA hat to a Texas Whataburger restaurant on the 4th of July. He threw a drink at the boy and stole his hat. Video hit the internet, the jerk was identified, and his employer told him not to show up for work again ever.

FLORIDA: A Florida man was watching fireworks in his driveway when someone stopped and started yelling at him to remove his Trump flag. When he said no, the driver punched him in the face, then drove off with the guy’s arm stuck in the car. The man, who was dragged for about 30 feet said, “I have some bumps and bruises that I don’t think you want to see.”

NEBRASKA: GOP headquarters vandalized by some of those “tolerant” leftists who preach to us about “civility.”

2018_07 Vandals KS GOP

NEW YORK: A woman wearing an anti-Trump T-shirt and spouting anti-ICE sentiments climbed the base of the Statue of Liberty on Independence Day, sparking a mass evacuation of Liberty Island and a nearly four-hour standoff with first responders before she was taken into custody.

Jim Geraghty noted, “In order to defend liberty, Okoumou risked damaging the Statute of Liberty; to help her country, she concluded she had to disrupt the Fourth of July events at an iconic national park. To demonstrate her commitment to justice, she threatened to push the ladder of law-enforcement officers. To fight back against the stereotype that immigrants are dangerous and have no respect for the law, the Congolese immigrant did something dangerous and against the law.”

She’ll be tried in a federal court for multiple misdemeanors.

The Story of ‘America the Beautiful’


Katharine Lee Bates, a 33-year-old English literature teacher at Wellesley College, was on “a merry expedition up Pike’s Peak” in Colorado in 1893 when she looked out “over the sea-like expanse of fertile country spreading away so far under those ample skies.”

Just my opinion:  There will never, ever be anyone who could do this song the way the late Ray Charles did it. Period, new paragraph. I get gooseflesh whenever I hear it.

About Those Polls

PRESIDENT TRUMP Tops Obama in Approval Numbers at Same Point in His Presidency

President Trump’s approval rating on his second Independence Day is at 48% with likely voters.

And that is with 90% negative coverage from the far left mainstream media.

On Barack Obama’s second Independence Day — despite a fawning media — his approval rating was only at 45%.

It comes down to results. President Trump is delivering on his promises.
