Probably won’t get back here today. After breakfast with my uncles, DW wants to go looking for a different car. We still have a balance on her current vehicle. The salesman tries to con you into thinking the dealership will pay off the old unit, when they just roll it into the new loan. I love my wife dearly and indulge her whenever possible. But money’s money. I pay the bills, so if I don’t get what I want some salesman is going to end up thinking: ‘Man, what a jerk.’
Diamond and Silk went to the hill yesterday to testify about being screwed by Facebook. A couple race-baiting black congresscritters (are there any other kind) tried to bully them into saying Trump paid them, they badmouthed the Kenyan and made a lot of money. Only Democrats are supposed to do that. Not by working, mind you, but by confiscating it from those that earned it.
Diamond and Silk Opening Statement At House Judiciary Committee Hearing 4/26/18
Diamond and Silk SHUT DOWN Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee at Facebook Censorship Hearing
Sheila Jackson Lee first asked Ms. Hardaway if she was ever paid by the Trump campaign.
Lynnette Hardaway (Diamond): No. We have never been paid by the Trump campaign.
Sheila Jackson Lee: 5$? 100$?
Lynnette Hardaway (Diamond): We have NEVER been paid by the Trump campaign… We have NEVER been paid. We have NEVER been paid…. Hold on a minute, Ms. Jackson. Don’t try to mince my words!

Judge: Bars are allowed to throw out Trump supporters Cheers, Trump haters.
A Manhattan judge ruled Wednesday that there’s nothing “outrageous” about throwing the president’s supporters out of bars — because the law doesn’t protect against political discrimination.
“Anyone who supports Trump — or believes in what you believe — is not welcome here! And you need to leave right now because we won’t serve you!” Piatek claims the staff of The Happiest Hour on West 10th Street told him after he and his pals complained about the rude service they were getting from a bartender. https://nypost.com/2018/04/25/judge-bars-are-allowed-to-throw-out-trump-supporters/
Blue city exodus could accelerate because of the GOP tax cut California is home to some of the most burdensome taxes and regulations in the nation. Meanwhile, its social engineering — from green energy to wealth redistribution — have made many working families poorer. As California begins its long decline, the influx outward is picking up in earnest.
The point of the piece is to suggest one way the blue cities and states could reverse the outward tide is to cut taxes. That’s probably true, but is there any chance of that happening in one-party California? I don’t think so. https://hotair.com/archives/2018/04/24/blue-city-exodus-accelerate-gop-tax-cut/
Federal Judge: Mr. Trump, You Have 90 Days To Restart DACA DACA WAS NEVER A LAW. IT WAS AN EXECUTIVE ORDER BY EMPEROR OBAMA DURING HIS REIGN OF TERROR.
WE ARE NOW SUBJECT TO A JUDICIAL TYRANNY WHERE ANYONE IN A BLACK ROBE THINKS THEY CAN USURP THE POWER OF THE PRESIDENT. IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE.
So, here we are. Failed DACA fixes, government shutdowns over illegal aliens, and Democrats turning down the legalization of 1.8 million illegals, putting them on the pathway to citizenship, in exchange for border wall funding. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2018/04/25/federal-judge-mr-trump-restart-daca-n2474307
Rep. Nunes: DOJ Is Stalling on Surrendering Documents to Congress in Hopes That Dems will Win in November
IF NOT FOR McCONNELL, OBAMA WOULD HAVE GOTTEN TO NAME A NEW SCOTUS JUDGE BEFORE HE SLITHERED OUT OF OFFICE.
On Wednesday night Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) and House Intelligence Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) joined Sean Hannity to discuss the seemingly endless corruption of the Obama-Trump Department of Justice.
During the discussion Rep. Nunes said the DOJ is stalling on turning over documents to Congress because they want to wait and see if Democrats win in November.
Republicans better wise up and get busy.
They better be wrapping these investigations up by December or it could be too late.
Judge Napolitano Says There’s ‘No Question’ Democrats Tried To Frame President Trump “It looks like a brazen plot simply to frame the President of the United States,” said host Steve Doocy about the Russia probe.
“Yes, it does,” Napolitano replied. “It looks like it was commenced by his most virulent political enemies. Particularly Sid Blumenthal who’s sort of the fixer if you will, for Hillary Clinton and that branch of the Democratic Party.” http://dailycaller.com/2018/04/24/napolitano-no-question-democrats-framed-trump/
Mueller’s harassment of Hannity may be criminal Bobby the Mule Mueller used the power of his office to harass Sean Hannity, a critic of Mueller’s witch hunt.
Using judge shopping to get a warrant, Mueller raided Michael Cohen’s office not to get the goods on President Trump — he’s clean — but to do opposition research on one of the few commentators willing to take on Mueller and the vast power of the state he controls.
He earned his money in a rags-to-riches story that included hard work and developing his skills as a communicator. He did not sell permission to Russian oligarchs to buy American uranium.
Hannity fought back, as he refuses to let Bobby the Mule get away with this. http://donsurber.blogspot.com/2018/04/muellers-harassment-of-hannity-may-be.html
Caravan Migrants’ to Regroup in Tijuana Before Crossing, Says Organizer TRUMP HAS ORDERED THEIR ARREST WHEN THEY CROSS. I SURE HOPE THEY DO.
Two busloads of “caravan migrants” arrived in Tijuana Tuesday evening. The passengers included men, women, and children. After arriving, the passengers were let loose onto the streets of the murder-ridden city. This month alone, nearly 150 people were murdered there, Breitbart Texas’ Robert Arce reported. Nearly 700 people are reported to have been killed since January 1.
Another four busloads are said to be making their way north from Hermosillo, about 430 miles from Tijuana. Parts of the caravan stalled there as migrants discussed what to do about American statements promising they will be denied entry to the U.S. http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2018/04/25/caravan-migrants-regroup-tijuana-crossing-says-organizer/

Huckabee Sanders Rebukes NGO’s Comments on Trump Hurting Press Freedom: I Take Questions ‘Unvetted’
The president hosted his first state dinner last evening, honoring President Macron of France and his wife. The event was arranged largely by our stunning First Lady. President Trump held a press opportunity before the gala and reminded everybody he was in charge.
A toast to ‘unbreakable friendship’: Trump and Melania pull out all the stops as they host President Macron, the French first lady and 120 guests at the White House for glittering state dinner
President Donald Trump and wife Melania welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron and wife Brigitte to the White House Tuesday night for their first state dinner
The Trumps held hands on the steps of the White House before they each exchanged kisses with the Macrons
Melania stole the show in a Chanel haute couture silver gown embroidered with crystals and sequins
In a toast before Tuesday’s dinner honoring France, Trump described his wife as ‘America’s absolutely incredible first lady’
He went on to raise a glass to President Macron saying: ‘May our friendship grow even deeper’
Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner were among the first to arrive with the first daughter wearing a $12,000 pink Rodarte gown
All eyes were on Melania as she stole the show in a Chanel black Chantilly lace haute couture gown that had been hand-painted with silver and embroidered with crystal and sequins.
The First Lady paired her gown with a pair of gunmetal stilettos.
Brigitte Macron opted for a Louis Vuitton cream full-length gown with long sleeves and gold brocade detail.
Melania meticulously plans first State Dinner
In a departure from past State Dinners, the president is not inviting any Democrat lawmakers or members of the press to the shindig that will celebrate the historical ties between the two countries and mark the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.
But then, given the shameful way Democrats have treated President Trump, who can blame him? The menu for Tuesday dinner will include three courses featuring American dishes with French influences, according to The Hill. The main course will consist of a rack of spring lamb with Carolina gold rice jambalaya, cooked New Orleans’ style.
Wines made from French plants harvested in Oregon will also be served.
CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller tweeted specific details of the menu: https://www.bizpacreview.com/2018/04/23/melania-meticulously-plans-first-state-dinner-menu-and-other-special-details-revealed-in-video-627403
Macron Rests Hand On Trump’s Arm After Trump Mentions Hero French Policeman “This righteous calling, this sacred heritage, is what moved a young Frenchman to risk death for American liberty at Yorktown. It is what spurred the Americans to storm the cliffs of Omaha Beach,” he continued. “Just weeks ago, we added a new name to this chronicle of our great heroes, a brave French policeman named Arnaud Beltrame. He stared down evil and did not flinch.”
Beltrame willingly traded places with a hostage during a standoff in March. He died of injuries sustained in the incident and was later awarded with a French national honor. http://dailycaller.com/2018/04/24/macron-trump-solidarity-beltrame/

Andrea Mitchell Incorrectly Claims Macron Is Serving A Four-Year Term
Andrea Mitchell, NBC’s chief foreign affairs correspondent, stated on MSNBC Tuesday that French President Emmanuel Macron is serving a “four-year term,” which is not true.
France passed a constitutional amendment in 2001 that reduced the presidential term from seven to five years.
Trump Warns: If Iran Threatens Us, They Will Pay “A Price Like Few Countries Have Ever Paid”
TRUMP LEFT NO DOUBT HE MEANS BUSINESS
At a White House press conference with the French President, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Iran to never threaten the U.S. with nuclear weapons, or pay “a price like few countries have ever paid.”
He also warned the Arab States that they are going to have to pay if the U.S. is going to protect them from Iran, saying “the United States is embarrassingly into the Middle East.” Trump said states like Qatar, Kuwait, the U.A.E., and Saudi Arabia are “immensely wealthy” and “would not be there if it were not for the United States (and to a lesser extent, France).”
The United States will not continue to pay, and [the Gulf States] will also put soldiers on the ground, which they are not doing. We will, in fact, bring lots of people home, and we will have a strong blockage to the Mediterranean, which to me is very important. Because if we don’t you have Iran going right to the Mediterranean and we will not have that. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/04/24/trump_warns_if_iran_threatens_us_in_any_way_they_will_pay_a_price_like_few_countries_have_ever_paid.html

‘Fanfare for Macron, Cold Shoulder for Merkel,’ laments the leading German daily ahead of the Friday visit SHE COMMITTED GENOCIDE ON THE GERMAN PEOPLE BY WELCOMING IN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MURDERING RAPING MUSLIMS. I DOUBT TRUMP HAS ANY RESPECT FOR HER.
“Merkel wants to save Multilateralism: the existence of global economic order. Germany, an export nation, is especially worried at the prospect of trade agreements and duty-free [market access] losing their validity” HUFFPOST wrote, alluding to the recent measures taken by the US government to raise tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum imports.
“Furthermore, it will be about the international trouble spots–primarily Syria. The US has lost trust globally, but recently France and Great Britain supported military strike against the Assad regime,” the left-wing news outlet added. Germany did not take part in that mission. https://legalinsurrection.com/2018/04/merkel-headed-for-a-cold-reception-in-washington-german-press-fears/
Did you put on your slippers this morning only to find the cat threw up in them?
Did your husband leave the toilet seat up…again?
Did your wife change the setting on the toaster so the bread came out looking like it was buttered with roofing tar?

When you got to your car did you discover you had a flat tire?
Did you kick the tire in anger and break two toes?
(I have an ex-wife who did that…no kidding).

Mylan Executives Donate Big Money to Manchin
Company gave over $50K to senator in first quarter of 2018 while it was planning West Virginia layoffs Executives at Mylan N.V., the pharmaceutical company that drew controversy for increasing the price of EpiPen devices nearly 400 percent, donated heavily to Democratic senator Joe Manchin’s reelection campaign as the company planned to lay off more than 400 workers in his home state of West Virginia.
Mylan—whose CEO, Heather Bresch, is Manchin’s daughter—announced Friday that it will lay off 15 percent of the workforce at its manufacturing plant in Morgantown, W.Va. The plant, one of about 50 that Mylan has around the world, employs upwards of 3,000 West Virginians and is one of the state’s largest employers.

Starbucks’ ‘unconscious bias training’ isn’t enough, protesters say YOU CANNOT SATISFY THESE SLUGS
More than 100 fraternity members and supporters attended the “Rally Against Racial Injustice” on Sunday afternoon, held near the downtown Philadelphia Starbucks where Nelson and his friend, Donte Robinson, were arrested on April 12 after the store’s manager asked them to leave because they hadn’t purchased anything.

“President Obama was sending messages and receiving messages on Hillary Clinton’s private email server,” Mukasey said. “Jim Comey knew that, and when President Obama went on television and said, ‘There’s no issue here, she didn’t really intend to cause harm,’ what he was really saying in essence is, ‘You’d better let her off, because if you wind up accusing her, you wind up accusing me. https://www.lifezette.com/polizette/mukasey-obama-wanted-clinton-cleared-to-avoid-being-linked-to-her-misconduct/

There really wasn’t the equalization that Stephanopoulos was whining about. Despite victories, CNN was badgering Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on when he was going to drop out of the Democratic.

7th Circuit Sides with Sanctuary Cities, Keeps Federal Money Flowing Nationwide LEFTIST JUDGES ARE VITAL TO FORCING THE ‘PROGRESSIVE’ AGENDA ON THE PUBLIC.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, based in Chicago, affirmed a U.S. district court’s imposition of a nationwide injunction preventing Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his Department of Justice from withholding “Bryne Grants” for state and local law enforcement in jurisdictions that adopt so-called “sanctuary” policies.
All three judges on the panel agreed with the district court that Chicago has a reasonable likelihood of prevailing on their argument that withholding funds violate constitutionally mandated separation of powers between Congress and the executive and impermissibly infringes on Chicago’s sovereignty under federalism. All three are Republican appointees. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/04/21/7th-circuit-sides-with-sanctuary-cities-keeps-federal-money-flowing-nationwide/
Democrats are getting desperate as Mueller stalls
In a move that reeks of desperation, the DNC filed a civil suit Friday against President Trump’s campaign, Russia and WikiLeaks, alleging a vast (right-wing!) conspiracy to tip the election to Trump.
The suit’s flamboyant charges made headlines, but that only served to obscure the real meaning. Namely, that top Dems are giving up their fantasies that special counsel Robert Mueller will deliver them from political purgatory by getting the goods on Trump. https://nypost.com/2018/04/21/democrats-are-getting-desperate-as-mueller-stalls/
Joy Reid Guest: Hannity Viewers Lack “Intellectual Curiosity,” Could Drive Country to War
The liberal elite’s contempt for conservatives was on vivid display on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show this morning. In a long segment attacking Sean Hannity, guest Tiffany Cross said:
“[Hannity] has a hotline to the White House. He also has a hotline to three million viewers every night . . . This is a scary thing because the people who watch him do not have the intellectual curiosity to get information other places, other than this echo chamber that is Fox News. So this group of people may be the people that drive us into a war.”
Kanye West’s Tweets Admiring Black Conservative Candace Owens Sparks Angry Backlash BLIND HATRED IS THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE RESPONSE TO RATIONAL THOUGHT
Kanye West sparked an angry backlash by tweeting his admiration for a black far-right media personality and the way she ‘thinks’ on Saturday.

Democrats try to win back labor in order to win back the House RUN AS A CONSERVATIVE, GOVERN AS A LIBERAL…THEY’VE BEEN DOING IT FOR DECADES
When Democrat Conor Lamb stood in a sea of United Mine Workers of America here in early March, it was clear that Democrats had found a way to bring the blue-collar worker back into their camp.
The union voters I talked to said they didn’t feel that Democrats in Washington had their back; that they were too progressive, too strident, and way out of touch with their lives and needs. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/democrats-try-to-win-back-labor-in-order-to-win-back-the-house

If the Democrats win back the House and Senate, all Trump’s progress for us will stop.
After impeaching Trump, Democrats will revert back to their America in which achievers are demonized and punished. Remarkably, Democrats (leftists) view our country as the greatest source of evil on the planet.

Clyburn: If Democrats Don’t Win House in 2018, Leadership Should All Be Replaced THE YOUNG SOCIALISTS WANT THEIR CUT OF THE PROFITS FROM THE OLD GUYS
“If we’re still in the minority, all of us have got to go,” he told Politico after the annual fish fry he holds in Columbia, South Carolina on Friday.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) has faced some calls from within her caucus to step aside but has said such a move would thrust House Democrats into chaos.
With a younger class of Democrats clamoring to break into leadership, Clyburn, 77, appeared at the fish fry alongside Rep. Tim Ryan, the Ohio Democrat who challenged Pelosi unsuccessfully for her leadership position in 2016.

California School District Says Parents Can’t Pull Kids Out Of New LGBT Sex Ed Class
IN CALIFORNIA THE STATE HAS TAKEN COMPLETE CONTROL OF ALL CHILDREN TO INDOCTRINATE THEM IN LIBERALISM.
California passed a law called the California Healthy Youth Act in 2015 to promote “healthy attitudes” about “gender [and] sexual orientation.” The law is meant to teach students about the “effectiveness and safety of all FDA-approved contraceptive methods” and allow for “objective discussion” about “parenting, adoption, and abortion.”
However, the Orange County Board of Education has decided that parents don’t have a right to exclude their kids from the class, LifeSite News reports. A memo from the Orange County Department of Education general counsel Ronald Wenkart on March 29 stated that the opt-out provision “does not apply to instruction, materials, or programming that discusses gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, discrimination, harassment, bullying, intimidation, relationships, or family and does not discuss human reproductive organs.” http://dailycaller.com/2018/04/20/california-school-district-parents-lgbt-sex-ed-mandatory/ Police chief dealt tough lesson after he apologizes to hip-hop crowd for ‘200 years’ of police abuse
With the City of Baltimore setting a new record in 2017 for killings per capita, where 86 percent of the victims and 85 percent of the suspects had prior criminal records, what do you suppose the police commissioner busies himself with?
Baltimore Police Commissioner Darryl De Sousa, accompanied by Mayor Catherine Pugh, took to the stage Wednesday night at a hip-hop concert to apologize for “200 years” of bad police behavior.
“I want to take the time to apologize for what policing did and I promise you we’re going to make a change in the future,” he added.
And while there were a few cheers, not all concertgoers approved, as De Sousa was jeered, booed and flipped off, as seen in a video posted on Instagram.
Diamond and Silk to Testify Before House Judiciary Committee over Facebook Censorship THAT SHOULD BE INTERESTING
The duo, whose real names are Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, will attend a panel alongside Corynne McSherry of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and CEO of the News Media Alliance David Chavern to “examine social media filtering and policing practices.”
Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), a leading voice on social media censorship who grilled Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on the issue last week, will also testify before the committee. Rep. Blackburn recently received President Trump’s endorsement in her bid to become Senator from Tennessee.

Sessions told White House that Rosenstein’s firing could prompt his departure, too
DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT, BUDDY
Last summer, when it appeared Trump was going to fire Sessions or pressure him to resign, Republican lawmakers and conservative advocacy groups rallied to Sessions’s side and warned the president not to move against him.
Trump had told senior officials last week that he was considering firing Rosenstein, who was confirmed by the Senate with overwhelming bipartisan support last year. Since then, alumni of the Justice Department have rallied to Rosenstein’s defense. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/sessions-told-white-house-that-rosenstein%e2%80%99s-firing-could-prompt-his-departure-too/ar-AAw7JZq?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=UE12DHP
GOP faces rural rebellion over Trump trade agenda President Donald Trump’s trade policies are confounding Republicans as rural voters — his strongest supporters — stand to get the short end of the stick just months away from the midterms. THIS IS FROM THAT SNIVELING LITTLE RAT BASTARD, JONATHAN ALLEN
Now Steffen, who didn’t vote for Trump, is a vocal supporter of Jane Raybould, the Democrat running an improbable campaign against first-term Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb. — and says he’s talked to a lot of fellow farmers and Republicans who have “buyer’s remorse” about Trump and Fischer.
While it would take a political tsunami for Fischer to lose — Trump won the state by 25 percentage points — the president’s trade agenda has boxed in congressional Republicans as they fight to hold their majorities in the House and Senate, potentially affecting competitive races in more than a dozen states.
They’re reluctant to distance themselves from a president who is following through on campaign-trail trade promises, whose support they need to drive Republican turnout and who vows his strategy will yield better deals for the country in the long run. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/gop-faces-rural-rebellion-over-trump-trade-agenda-n866456
NYT Reporter: I Cried Writing About How Donald Trump Totally Destroyed Clinton
I’m sure you all enjoyed the endless clips over at Clinton campaign headquarters in New York City on election night 2016. The scores of crying Democrats stunned, shocked, and totally devastated that Lady Macbeth would never become president—ever. Yet, members of the news media also exhibited those feelings of despair. Cortney wrote about The New York Times’ Amy Chozick, whose new book about the 2016 election suggests that Hillary Clinton was fully aware that people thought she sucked. Chozick wrote that Clinton told a pollster, “Oh, what’s the point? They’re never going to like me,” speaking about her image, along with not being happy at all about a potential presidential bid launched by then-Vice President Joe Biden. If Clinton was referring to the GOP voters, specifically those in the white working class, she should have tried to do something on this front.
Democrats Lawsuit Alleges Conspiracy Between Trump’s Campaign, Russia, Wikileaks to Disrupt 2016 Election DEMOCRATS’ COMPLAINT ALLEGES THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN COLLUDED WITH THE RUSSKIES TO HACK INTO DNC SERVERS.
TROUBLE IS, THE COURT WOULD ALLOW THE TRUMP PEOPLE TO EXAMINE THE DEMOCRAT SERVERS, WHICH CONTAIN A LOT OF STUFF THEY DON’T WANT MADE PUBLIC.
The DNC wants “millions of dollars in compensation to offset damage it claims the party suffered from the hacks.” Wikileaks published tons of emails from the DNC in the summer of 2016 right before the convention. The documents showed collusion WITHIN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY to prop up failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
Democrats insist that Russia does not have the sovereign immunity many countries have “because the hack constituted a trespass on the party’s private property. The lawsuit alleges that “Russia engaged in a ‘brazen attack on U.S. soil.” https://legalinsurrection.com/2018/04/democrats-lawsuit-alleges-conspiracy-between-trumps-campaign-russia-wikileaks-to-disrupt-2016-election/

Illinois Senate considering bill to give kids access to medical pot at schools SEE? ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS KNOW HOW TO DO SOMETHING BESIDES IMPOSE OBSCENE TAX AND FEE INCREASES ON THE CITIZEN VICTIMS TO FEED THEIR CROOKED MACHINE.
The bill was brought to the floor after the family of 11-year-old Ashley Surin filed a federal lawsuit against the state and Schaumburg School District 54 for failing to include public schools among the places people can possess medical cannabis. Surin has been prescribed medical cannabis to treat seizures related to a leukemia diagnosis.
After four years of trying out traditional medications, Surin’s doctors prescribed medical cannabis. She wears a patch on her foot, which contains small amounts of THC. She also sometimes puts oil drops containing THC on her tongue or wrists to regulate her seizures.
A judge ultimately ruled in favor of the family later that month, allowing Surin to bring her medication to school. https://chicago.suntimes.com/?post_type=cst_article&p=1048005

It sports a green mohican, fleshy finger-like growths under its chin and can breathe through its genitals.
The Mary river turtle is one of the most striking creatures on the planet, and it is also one of the most endangered.
The 40cm long turtle, which is only found on the Mary river in Queensland, features in a new list of the most vulnerable reptile species compiled by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL).
Despite the turtle’s punk appearance – derived from vertical strands of algae that also grow on its body – its docile nature made it historically popular as a pet. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/apr/11/green-haired-turtle-that-breathes-through-its-genitals-added-to-endangered-list
After overstaying its visit by at least a month, Old Man Winter may finally have gone into hibernation for a little while. Maybe. When I finish this mess I plan to flop in my lounge chair on the deck and take in some welcome spring weather.
Democratic Party files lawsuit alleging Russia, the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks conspired to disrupt the 2016 campaign 40% OF DEMOCRAT VOTERS ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS CRAP
The Democratic National Committee filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit Friday against the Russian government, the Trump campaign and the WikiLeaks organization alleging a far-reaching conspiracy to disrupt the 2016 campaign and tilt the election to Donald Trump.

New York Attorney General Wants Power To Bypass Trump Pardons New York’s attorney general on Wednesday asked Governor Andrew Cuomo and state legislators to give him and other local prosecutors power to bring criminal charges against people pardoned by U.S. President Donald Trump.
In a letter, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman urged Cuomo and legislative leaders to close a loophole in New York’s double jeopardy law shielding recipients of presidential pardons from state prosecution. https://www.weaselzippers.us/382105-new-york-attorney-general-wants-power-to-bypass-trump-pardons/
Trump lawyer warns POTUS: Michael Cohen will roll over No one thinks Cohen would turn on Trump in lieu of serving a light sentence of a few years, but if the sentence is stiff, all bets are off. Which raises another question: What could Michael Cohen have possibly done that might warrant decades potentially in a federal pen?
That’s what they’ll threaten him with: life imprisonment,” said Alan Dershowitz, the liberal lawyer and frequent Trump defender who met with the president and his staff over two days at the White House last week. “They’re going to threaten him with a long prison term and try to turn him into a canary that sings.”… https://hotair.com/archives/2018/04/19/trump-lawyer-warns-potus-michael-cohen-will-roll/
Sen. Mitch McConnell Kills President Trump’s Plan to Cut $60 Billion in Spending Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R, KY) has torpedoed President Donald Trump’s plan to cut $60 billion in federal spending, despite a promise to open a “discussion” on the cuts.
Even after supporting and passing a $1.3 trillion increase in spending, McConnell said he would talk about a rescissions package that had the support of the president. However, McConnell has ultimately refused to support the plan, Conservative Review noted. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/04/19/sen-mitch-mcconnell-kills-president-trumps-plan-cut-60-billion-spending/
‘Designated Survivor’ Becomes Third Show This Week to Discuss Removal of President
It’s strange how many times this particular amendment has been invoked on television recently when I doubt many could reference its number eighteen months ago. Now, just since January, we’ve seen it discussed on Madam Secretary, Homeland, and Designated Survivor. One show, The Good Fight, even goes so far as to jump to talking about actual impeachment. I’m starting to feel like they want to tell us something. https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/lindsay-kornick/2018/04/19/designated-survivor-third-show-discuss-removal-president

Senate Republicans willing to defy Mitch McConnell on bill to protect Robert Mueller The bill is bipartisan, co-authored by Republican Sens. Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Democratic Sens. Chris Coons of Delaware and Cory Booker of New Jersey.
On Thursday, Graham said he doesn’t think Trump will fire Mueller, but the legislation is still important. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/congress/senate-republicans-defy-mitch-mcconnell-protect-robert-mueller-trump
Republicans Are Fleeing And So Are Their Hopes For Keeping The House Forty-six House Republicans are either resigning, retiring or seeking other office in 2018. Roughly 22 House members retire each election cycle, so to say the party is going through a seismic shift is not a misnomer.
If the slew of defections weren’t enough, Republicans are trailing their Democratic challengers in 43 races, Politico reported. Some 14 GOP incumbents have less cash on hand than their Democratic counterparts, according to Open Secrets. http://dailycaller.com/2018/04/19/republicans-midterm-election/
Cuomo Likens Himself to an ‘Undocumented Immigrant’… Immigrant Groups Fire Back “I’m undocumented,” Cuomo declared at the ceremony, where he signed legislation to protection union membership. “You want to deport an undocumented person, start with me because I’m an undocumented person.”
The governor also explained that he and his family know what it means to be a victim of racial prejudice. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/cortneyobrien/2018/04/20/cuomo-likens-himself-to-an-undocumented-immigrant-n2472775
Lawmakers Make Criminal Referral on Clinton, Comey, Lynch to DOJ on Steele Dossier
Obama officials and FBI embattled agents also targeted for possible violations of federal law ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING WILL COME OF IT. YOU NEED AN ATTORNEY GENERAL WHO IS NOT GUTLESS OR COMPROMISED. SESSIONS WILL NEVER DO IT.
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee member Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Florida, along with ten other colleagues sent the letter Wednesday to Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray criminally referring former FBI Director James Comey, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for their involvement in the investigations into President Trump and alleged violations of federal law.

Starbucks to Close 8,000 U.S. Locations for ‘Racial Bias Training’ THESE TYRANTS GO AFTER ANY BUSINESS WHO CLAIMS TO BE ON THEIR SIDE.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SAY: DON’T DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ANYBODY?
Starbucks will close 8,000 of its company-owned stores in the U.S. on May 29 for one afternoon to make its employees undergo “racial bias training.”
The company said that 175,000 workers would receive this training, which former Obama administration Attorney General Eric Holder and other experts would have a hand in designing, CNN Money reported. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/04/18/starbucks-to-close-8000-u-s-locations-for-racial-bias-training/
McConnell Kills Bill Protecting Mueller from Firing: ‘We’ll Not Be Having This on the Floor of the Senate’
McConnell’s announcement effectively killed a bill meant to shield Mueller which was introduced last week by a bipartisan group of senators, called the Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act.
Nobody Shows at DC Bookstore to Buy Comey’s Book The place was open at 12:01 am Tuesday morning expecting long lines for James Comey’s new book, “I’ve Got Higher Morals than You,” or “I’m Loyal to Getting High,” or whatever it’s called, released on Tuesday. But on hand were more photographers, reporters and salespeople, all working the night shift, than customers.
Kids sue Rick Scott for ‘immoral’ silence on climate change THERE’S SOME VERY BIG MONEY BEHIND ALL THESE PROTESTS. HOW CONCERNED ARE 10 YEAR OLDS ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE?
The youths are being represented by the Oregon-based nonprofit organization Our Children’s Trust, which is supporting similar suits from children across the country.
They range in age from 10 to 20 years old — and include climate change activists Levi Draheim and Delaney Reynolds, who expressed their outrage in a statement. https://nypost.com/2018/04/16/kids-sue-rick-scott-for-immoral-silence-on-climate-change/
Pittsburgh police detectives asked to bring riot gear in case President Trump fires Robert Mueller THE RIOTERS COULDN’T CARE LESS ABOUT MUELLER…THEY GET PAID TO BUST SH!T UP
Pittsburgh police detectives will report for duty with riot gear Thursday, in anticipation of a potential large scale protest should President Trump decide to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
There is a belief that President Trump will soon move to fire Special Prosecutor Mueller. This would result in a large protest within 24 hours of the firing. The protest would be semi-spontaneous and more than likely happen on short notice,” the missive read. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/pittsburgh-police-wear-riot-gear-case-trump-fires-mueller-article-1.3941301
Planned Parenthood Leads Coalition to Spend $30 Million on Democrats in Mid-Terms THEY’RE GOING ALL OUT IN THEIR CRUSADE TO GET TRUMP
The political arm of taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood is leading a coalition of left-wing groups in an organized effort to spend $30 million to elect Democrats in the mid-term elections this year and regain control of Congress.
The focus of the campaign – dubbed “Win Justice” – will be to mobilize people who vote infrequently but are sympathetic to liberal causes, particularly minorities, women, and young people. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/04/18/planned-parenthood-leads-coalition-spend-30-million-democrats-mid-terms/
Anti-Trump American history textbook ‘blatantly biased,’ critics say Tarra Snyder, a student at Rosemount High School in Minnesota, who saw a copy of the book sent to her school, told Fox News she was “appalled” after seeing how “blatantly biased” the newest edition of “By the People: A History of the United States” was toward Trump and his voters. She said it also glossed over all issues then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton faced during her campaign. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/04/16/anti-trump-american-history-textbook-blatantly-biased-critics-say.html
Cuomo giving parolees right to vote via executive order “I’m going to make it law by executive order,” Cuomo said during a speech to the National Action Network’s annual conference.
“It is unconscionable to deny voting rights to New Yorkers who have paid their debt and have re-entered society,” he said in a statement. “This reform will reduce disenfranchisement and will help restore justice and fairness to our democratic process. Withholding or delaying voting rights diminishes our democracy.” http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/383741-breaking-cuomo-giving-parolees-right-to-vote-via-executive-order
GOP presses for stiff work requirements for food stamps The work requirements are projected to cut SNAP enrollment by up to 1 million people and would decrease spending on SNAP by $20 billion over 10 years, according to a Congressional Budget Office analysis.
House Agriculture Committee Chairman Mike Conaway (R-Texas) said the provision is a commonsense revamp of SNAP and is critical to helping Americans feed their families. SNAP typically represents about 80 percent of farm bill spending.

American Muslims launch political campaigns, hope to deliver ‘sweet justice’ to Trump THIS IS FROM A SAN FRANCISCO NEWSPAPER… TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH
More than 90 American Muslims, nearly all of them Democrats, are running for public office across the country this year. Many are young and politically inexperienced, and most are long shots. But they represent a collective gamble: that voters are so disgusted by America’s least popular president on record that they’re willing to elect members of America’s least popular religious minority group. https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/American-Muslims-launch-political-campaigns-hope-12836285.php
