….and you know who you are. We know you’re here, we see the numbers. It’s OK, your time is precious. Here in the garden we’re a little guppy in an ocean of sharks. We’re grateful you stop by and we try very hard not to waste your time. I tend to think some of you stop by just to see the funny stuff this brain damaged idiot posts. It’s OK, I’m not at all sensitive. I have hundreds of images in my folders and it would be impossible to post more than a small fraction of them. Every once in awhile I just like to make somebody smile, hopefully.
Long naps in the afternoon often mean short amount of sleep at night. It’s not so bad, though. Television on in the background, the house is quiet. A lot I didn’t get to yesterday. At one time I thought of getting together a group of procrastinators, but I never got around to it.
Donald Trump’s Art of the Insult
New film shows how pushing back hard helped Trump win the presidency.
THE LEFT NEVER FIGURED IT OUT. WE WERE AS SICKENED BY PHONY CONSERVATIVE BLOWHARDS WHO HAD NO SPINE AS WE WERE THE LEFTIST GARBAGE WHO GOT OFF ON FEEDING US A SHIT SANDWICH CLAIMING THEY KNEW HOW TO LIVE OUR LIVES BETTER THAN WE DID. THEN ALONG CAME A MAN WHO WASN’T A PHONY. THE MEDIA WHORES HATED HIM. WE LOVED HIM.
“You speak your mind,” says Megyn Kelly in the early going. As Joel Gilbert’s new film Trump: The Art of the Insult confirms, Donald Trump does indeed speak his mind.
In The Art of the Insult, candidate Trump says he would “bomb the shit out of ISIS” and that the San Bernardino shooter was a “son of a bitch,” and that Mexico would pay for the wall. Someone who speaks his mind like that, even a casual observer might think, would stand no chance of becoming President of the United States. To give away the ending, he did become president and the film helps explain the victory.
In the early going, some journalist wonders why Trump has to fire back every time someone goes after him. He was one of the first to push back hard because, as he said, “The last thing I want to be called is weak.” The aggressive candidate found a target-rich environment in both political parties.
Mahmoud Abbas: US Can No Longer Broker Peace Process YOU MEAN THE PEACE PROCESS WHERE YOUR HAMAS DOGS SAY ISRAEL HAS NO RIGHT TO EXIST?? THAT PEACE PROCESS??
“We reject the American decision over Jerusalem,” he said, reports Reuters. “With this position the United States has become no longer qualified to sponsor the peace process.”
World leaders ranging from UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to Pope Francis warned President Trump the move could jeopardize the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
Melissa McCarthy and Jennifer Aniston on ‘Kimmel’: ‘Climate Denial is like Not Believing in Gravity’
I BELIEVE IN GRAVITY… I’M PUTTING IT ON THE MEAT LOAF AND MASHED POTATOES THE WIFE IS MAKING FOR DINNER TODAY.
Melissa McCarthy and Jennifer Aniston have dealt climate skeptics a blow from which they may never recover… a sketch on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday suggesting that not believing in climate change is the same as not believing in gravity.
Manufacturing Employment Up 189,000 Since Trump’s Election; Federal Government Employment Down 3,000
In November 2016, there were 12,325,000 people employed in manufacturing in the United States. By this November, that had climbed to 12,514,000.
“Since a recent low in November 2016, manufacturing employment has increased by 189,000,” the BLS said in the press release it put out this morning with the November employment numbers.
OBAMA THEN:MANUFACTURING JOBS ARE NOT COMING BACK.
OBAMA NOW: I DID THIS. IT WAS MY ECONOMIC POLICIES THAT BROUGHT US OUT OF THE BUSH RECESSION AND NOW IT’S WORKING.
China Cutting Tariffs Just Weeks After Trump’s Asia Trip COME HERE FOR THE INFORMATION THE MEDIA WHORES REFUSE TO TELL YOU.
Following President Donald Trump’s recent trip to Asia, China has released a long list of dramatic tariff cuts on a range of imported consumer goods. In fact, over 200 different products will see an average reduction of approximately 10 percent.
China’s unilateral decision to cut tariffs, however modest, should prove beneficial for its major trading partners, including the United States. The cuts will also benefit the people of China, allowing them greater access to a variety of products at more competitive costs.
Trent Franks Resigns, Effective Immediately In the wake of Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) stepping down from Congress, some disturbing stories have emerged from his former staffers. Namely, he offered one woman $5 million to serve as his surrogate, and his aides were worried that he wanted to have sex with them to impregnate them.
The sources said Franks approached two female staffers about acting as a potential surrogate for him and his wife, who has struggled with fertility issues for years. But the aides were concerned that Franks was asking to have sexual relations with them.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio ‘Seriously’ Considering U.S. Senate Bid SENATOR MOORE AND SENATOR ARPAIO…HOW DELICIOUS WOULD THAT BE??
Arpaio hinted at his potential political plans after the Daily Beast asked him whether he intended to run for Rep. Trent Franks’ (R-AZ) seat after the Arizona congressman steps down January 31.
“No, I would not consider it, but I am considering running for the Senate, Flake’s seat,” Arpaio replied, referring to Sen. Jeff Flake’s (R-AZ) decision not to run for re-election.
New Poll Finds 92% of Democrats Uninformed, Ignorant and Easily Played
Democrats and the Obama FBI paid cash for a fake Russian dossier so they could spy on Donald Trump at Trump tower.
But Democrat voters are ignorant.
And Democrats rely on the fact that their supporters are stupid and easily played.
A new poll released this week by CBS News found that 92% of Democrats believe Trump advisors had improper dealings with Russia. The poll claims 43% of Republicans believe the fairy tale… which is complete rubbish.
Of course, Republican voters are correct. After a year of screaming liberal media headlines and conspiracy theories there is NO EVIDENCE that any Trump official made improper contact with the Russians.
This was all a media lie to destroy Trump.
THEY THINK WE’RE IGNORANT REDNECKS.
THERE’S AN OLD SAYING: DON’T PISS ON MY LEG AND TELL ME IT’S RAINING.
DNC ‘Unity Reform Commission’ Interrupted by Progressive Protestors Katelyn Caralle of the Washington Free Beacon reports that a DNC sanctioned event intent on reforming the party after its disastrous 2016 election efforts was supposed to bring compromise on divisive issues such as the power of super delegates within their presidential primary.
However, two gentlemen brought pretty benign signs which read “Democratic Party or Undemocratic Party?”
WERE IT NOT FOR THE FACT THEIR VOTERS ARE PATENTLY IGNORANT AND FELONY LAZY THIS PARTY WOULD NOT EXIST.
DNC Panel Recommends Huge Cut in Superdelegates to Avoid Nominating Another Loser Like Hillary Clinton
A commission has been set up to reform the DNC’s nominating process after Hillary Clinton high-jacked it and turned the institution into a Clinton-ized (criminal) organization in a desperate attempt to become President. SHE HAD THE NOMINATION SEWN UP BEFORE THE PRIMARY EVEN STARTED BECAUSE SHE HAD ALL THE SUPER DELEGATES IN HER POCKET.
In her new book, “Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns that Put Donald Trump in the White House,” Brazile admits the Clinton campaign engaged in “essentially … money laundering,” where state parties were sucked dry to fund her failed presidential effort.
DNC Unity Commission Member Praises RNC’s ‘Professional’ Management: ‘We Are Constantly Beat By These Guys’
Joy Reid Guest: Roy Moore Voters “Want to Build Wall and Keep Brown People Out”
Bunch of Bible-thumpin’ racists . . .
That’s in essence how a Joy Reid guest has described Roy Moore’s supporters. On Reid’s MSNBC show this morning, Eric Guster, an Alabama lawyer, said:
“Roy Moore’s coalition, they [are] in the rural counties. The Bible Belt. The people who love to go to church on Sunday. The ones who want to build a wall and keep brown people out of the United States.”
[CtH: Translation: “People who love to go to church on Sunday” are RAAACISTS!]
Judge Releases 19-Year-Old Charged in Facebook Video Torture of Disabled Chicago Teen The first of four Chicago suspects accused of beating and torturing a disabled teenager and broadcasting the attack on Facebook has pleaded guilty, but a judge let her off without prison time, a report says.
The judge did not assign jail time because, he said, “I’m not sure if I did that you’d be coming out any better.”
Hooks insisted that his sentence would give Covington the chance to put her life on a productive path.
YOU’D BE COMING OUT ANY BETTER? BETTER THAN WHAT?? IF THIS HAD BEEN WHITES BEATING A RETARDED BLACK KID SENSELESS, THEY’D DO 50 YEARS IN PRISON. ONLY WHITES CAN COMMIT HATE CRIMES. THAT’S HOW SCREWED UP THINGS ARE NOW. (Yes,I was pounding on the keys.)
Alabama ‘Vote or Die Campaign Offering ‘$1-$50’ Payments for Participation SWEET HOME ALABAMA, WHERE THE PAYOFF’S ARE GREEN. MY APOLOGIES TO LYNRD SKYNRD AND THE LATE RONNIE VAN ZANT. I DON’T KNOW WHAT CAME OVER ME
The flyer, which reportedly has been on display at the courthouse in Sylacauga, AL and was featured in an NBC News article by Alex Seitz-Wald, says people who attend rallies “will be given $1-$50” and adds their time and vote “are more valuable than money.”
Every citizen 18 years or older who attends the rally will be given $1-$50 to “Pay it Forward” . Your time and your vote are more valuable than money. Your vote can save the nation.
THE SCUM WHO STARTED THIS SHOULD BE ARRESTED.
THIS IS FLAT OUT BRIBERY, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
Trump will not speak publicly at opening of Mississippi’s Civil Rights Museum
The Mississippi Department of Archives and History and the White House agreed to have a separate event after a series of noteworthy civil rights leaders and speakers decided to boycott the event and local groups planned to protest.
Nolte: Media Close 2017 Proving Trump 100 Percent Correct About Fake News If the discredited American media have enjoyed even one good week this year, I cannot recall it. But what is not in doubt is that the establishment media have closed 2017 by proving President Trump 100 percent correct about their massive fake news problem.
This past week has been an unmitigated disaster for a corrupt and depraved institution that only gets more desperately corrupt and depraved with each passing day.
Shock: Reporters Defend Pres. Trump From Liberal Lie That He Spoke to ‘Mostly Empty’ Pensacola Rally
A photo taken well before Trump spoke showing empty seats is being promoted as proof Trump flopped in Florida.
This is why President Trump is always imploring the media to ‘turn the cameras around’ and show the crowd.
WaPo Reporter Dave Weigel Deleted Bogus Trump Rally Photo After White House Called Him Out Saturday Morning
The White House called out Washington Post politics reporter Dave Weigel early Saturday morning on his lying tweet mocking President Donald Trump about the size of the crowd at Trump’s rally in Pensacola, Florida Friday night, prompting Weigel to delete the tweet within minutes. Later Saturday, Trump went after Weigel on Twitter demanding an apology which Weigel gave. Weigel was mocking a tweet by Trump posted at 7:41 a.m. EST about the rally crowd being “packed to the rafters”.
With regard to Weigel’s claim he saw Trump in the photo, there are two issues that a decent reporter would notice: One, the man in question is walking virtually alone with no Secret Service or aides in front and behind him. Second that the man in question is wearing a black tie where as Trump wore a bright red tie at the rally.
THERE IS EXTENSIVE VIDEO ON THE ENTIRE RALLY.
HERE ARE TWO VERY SHORT CLIPS… JUDGE FOR YOURSELF.
POTUS Trump Takes Swipe at Deep State Liars at Pensacola Rally
Trump urges crowd to vote for Roy Moore
THEY JUST DON’T GET IT. ANY CLAIM TO IMPARTIALITY, NAY, EVEN SANITY, WENT AWAY LONG AGO. THEY BECLOWN THEMSELVES TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING, ANYTHING, TO SMEAR TRUMP WITH. THEY ULTIMATELY FAIL BECAUSE TRUMP HITS BACK. BUT THEY KEEP TRYING.
Army-Navy Game’s Stunning National Anthem Rendition Puts Every Kneeling NFL Player To Shame
This year marks the 118th time the two teams have met. The teams meet in a neutral city between their respective academies. They often play in NFL stadiums due to the enormous number of active duty and veteran fans who wish to attend.
Before the game, the choirs of the Annapolis and West Point academies joined together to sing the national anthem. It was a solemn moment and was made even more beautiful by the falling snow.
[CtH: I got to go to the Army-Navy game in Philadelphia once when I was a pre-teen.]
Looks like today is going to be a three-poster. There’s still plenty of interesting stuff from yesterday and it keeps coming. If I didn’t think it was worth your while to glance at it, I wouldn’t waste your time. I have too much respect for our readers and their time. The fact that I have plenty of it is a luxury very few people share.
John Lewis Cancels Trip to MS Because He Won’t Share a Stage With Trump
Rep. John Lewis told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution he is canceling is trip to the new Mississippi Civil Rights Museum because he doesn’t want to share a stage with President Trump. But the Georgia congressman said he would reconsider if the “hit man,” meaning Mr. Trump, decides not to attend.
Bombshell: Roy Moore Accuser Beverly Nelson Admits She Forged Yearbook
OOPS! IMAGINE THAT! NO WONDER “PUBLICITY WHORE” ALLRED WOULDN’T ALLOW ANYBODY TO EXAMINE THE BOOK
Beverly Young Nelson has finally admitted that she forged a portion of the infamous high school yearbook that she and attorney Gloria Allred used as proof of her accusations against U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore.
And in yet another blow to the credibility of ABC News, the disgraced, left-wing network downplayed the bombshell by presenting this admission of forgery as adding “notes” to the inscription. Worse still, the reporter actually coaches Nelson, puts words in her mouth, downplay the enormous significance of her deceit.
TRUMP SLAMS LYING HACK GLORIA ALLRED: “Everytime You See Her You Know Something Is Going Wrong”
President Trump: “So did you see what happened today? Did you see the yearbook? Did you see that? There was a little mistake made. She started to write things in the yearbook. Oh, what are we going to do. Gloria Allred, every time you see her you know something is going wrong.”
Donald Trump Jr. Wins The Internet With Gloria Allred Kill Shot After Accuser Admits Roy Moore Signature Forgery CNN published photos of the signature showing two different inks.
The signature says “To a sweeter more beautiful girl I could not say, ‘Merry Christmas.’ Love, Roy Moore DA, 12-22-77, Olde Hickory House.”
“Well how exactly are you going to do that? What are you going to do? There’s uh-uh no answer to it. He just says. ‘I’m going to negotiate a better deal.’ Well how? How exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually the answer is, he doesn’t have an answer.”

Obama: Some jobs ‘are just not going to come back’
In a speech this week in Chicago Barack Obama took full credit for President Trump’s record economic numbers.
On Friday President Trump’s Director of the National Economic Council, Gary Cohn, was asked about Barack Obama’s comments from earlier this week on the Trump economy.
Gary Cohn laughed out loud.
Judge recuses in Michael Flynn case
The former Trump national security adviser will be sentenced by Clinton appointee Emmet Sullivan. Judge Emmet Sullivan was randomly assigned to take over the case after Judge Rudolph Contreras recused himself.
A court spokeswoman confirmed to POLITICO that the reassignment was due to Contreras’ recusal, but said the court generally does not disclose the reason that a judge begged off the case.
MY THEORY IS THAT CONTRERAS KNEW MUELLER WITHHELD EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE BEFORE HE PRESSURED KELLY INTO A PLEA DEAL. HE WOULD HAVE HAD TO DISCLOSE THAT OR FACE DISBARMENT.
Collins considers changing vote on tax bill over amendments Collins added two amendments to the legislation that passed the Senate last week, one of which would allow taxpayers to deduct property taxes from their annual federal filings, restoring a provision of the House bill that the Senate took out. Another provision added by Collins would lower the threshold for tax deductions for medical expenses.
Morning Joe jumps right to dementia over latest Trump video: ‘that speech, that impairment, is chilling’
DOCTOR JOE COMES UP WITH HIS OWN DIAGNOSIS.
On Thursday, the panel on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”suggested President Trump’s brief slurred words during his Wednesday speech on recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital are indicative of dementia.
[CtH: Let’s all remember how Obama mis-pronounced words that were written into his prepared speeches, m’kay? And that time he banged his head on the door to Marine One? Or that other time when he tried to shake hands with a Marine who was saluting him? Oh, and definitely, let’s remember that wonderful video of him being locked out of his own office, when he was caught banging on the window trying to get someone to let him in.]
HERE IS DOCTOR PETE’S DIAGNOSIS OF MORNING JOKE’S CONDITION:
HYPOCRITES: Same Media Outlets Who Mocked Hillary Clinton Health Conspiracies Now Promoting Trump ‘Slurred Speech’ Conspiracies Here’s CNN’s report:
Toward the end of the news conference, some on Twitter and Facebook noted that the President’s usual speech pattern changed and that he started to slur his words — and they speculated about what it could mean. … “People can slur their words for any number of reasons. It can be a sign of problems with a nervous system disorder like a brain tumor or a stroke.”

Taxpayers Paid $220K to Settle Case Involving Rep. Alcee Hastings
The Treasury Department paid $220,000 in a previously undisclosed agreement to settle a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment that involved Florida Democrat Alcee L. Hastings, according to documents obtained by Roll Call.
Winsome Packer, a former staff member of a congressional commission that promotes international human rights, said in documents that the congressman touched her, made unwanted sexual advances, and threatened her job. At the time, Hastings was the chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, where Packer worked.
YOU REMEMBER HIM…HE WAS THROWN OFF THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE FOR CORRUPTION. WELL, HE MADE IT BACK THERE AND NOW SITS IN JUDGEMENT OF OTHERS.
The original plan was to do this when I finished delivering my papers. Then I decide to take a nap. It was Friday, so breakfast with my uncles. Then I went for my first appointment to have cortisone injections in my back. I came home and the rest of the day was pretty well shot. However, there was a lot going on and I felt obligated to lay some of this down since I have a couple hours before I’m off again in 15 degree weather to keep people informed.
IS HE IN OR OUT?
I tuned in to C-Span Thursday to watch that flea-infested gutter rat Stuart Smalley resign from the Senate. I watched almost 5 minutes of it before my gag reflex betrayed me and I had to turn it off.
Then, being the petty little prick he is, he whined about Trump and Judge Moore. Then it dawned on me. He’s waiting to see if Moore wins next Tuesday. If he does he’ll probably un-resign and claim if Moore stays, he will too. Notice Conyers and Franken are the Democrats’ sacrificial lambs because both are extremely safe seats. How much more liberal can you get than Detroit?
Sen. Al Franken Will Resign ‘in the Coming Weeks’
“A couple months ago I felt that we had entered an important moment in the history of this country. We finally listened to women.”
“Then the conversation turned to me,” Franken added.
‘Ready?’: Democratic senators and staffers shed tears during Al Franken’s resignation speech
Only one Republican sat in on Franken’s speech, Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. The rest of the Republican side sat empty.
If you as a woman truly believe a man is a creepy serial sex assaulter of women, do you get all misty-eyed and line up to tightly hug him when he resigns from the Senate following your demand he do so in the face of numerous accusations of sexual assault? If you are a Democrat woman senator, the answer is ‘yes’, even though several of the allegations involved Franken groping and forcing kisses during hugs. Franken was also photographed assaulting a woman in her sleep.
In his speech, Franken name-checked former Sen. Paul Wellstone, the longtime Minnesota Democrat on three occasions. Franken famously defeated former Sen. Norm Coleman in 2009 by 312 votes — who Wellstone was set to face off against in 2002 until a plane crash took his life only eleven days before the election — giving Democrats the much-needed 60th vote for a brief period of time that allowed them to pass the Affordable Care Act.
REMEMBER THIS LITTLE SNIPPET? I DO.
THIS WAS WHEN ALL THE REPUBLICAN SENATORS WHO HAD COME TO SHOW THEIR RESPECT WERE ORDERED TO LEAVE, THEN CAME THE PEP RALLY.
If Moore wins and Franken un-resigns, will Senate Democrats back him up? He was careful this morning not to admit to any wrongdoing, merely saying that he’d lost the confidence of his colleagues and therefore had to go. Imagine now that Moore wins and, as expected, McConnell’s caucus immediately starts hemming and hawing about whether he should be expelled.
Chris Matthews: ‘The Worst You Can Say About Democrats Is They’re Too Pure’
ABC’s Rick Klein: Franken didn’t show any contrition in resignation speech
With Al Franken out, Democrats hope to make Republicans answer for Roy Moore and Donald Trump
OK, WE GAVE UP TWO OF THE SCORE OF MISCREANTS IN OUR PARTY, SO GET RID OF ONE THAT IT’S NEVER BEEN PROVED HE DID ANYTHING WRONG. WE JUST DON’T WANT ANY OF THAT ‘GOD’ STUFF AROUND HERE.
If Moore, accused of preying on young girls, is elected, Democrats will hammer Republicans unceasingly. Even if he’s not, Democrats made clear their intent to raise anew the several allegations of sexual misconduct leveled against Trump before the 2016 election in a bid to make Republicans answer on this politically super-charged issue.
[CtH: Every time this is mentioned, the Republican being targeted should recite the names of Clinton’s accusers and refuse to say anything else.]
CBS Mourns Franken Resignation: ‘The End to a Potentially Storied Career’ You know, Al Franken is one of very few Democrats in Congress who can truly claim to have had a nationwide progressive profile, even before he came to the Senate in 2009, because of his Air America radio show. And that led to him having, you know, a true ability to raise money for other lawmakers.
Female lieutenant governor expected to replace Franken Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton is expected to appoint his lieutenant governor and close ally, Tina Smith, to Al Franken’s seat, three people familiar with the Democratic governor’s thinking said.
But that appointment would be just the start of an upheaval in Minnesota. Part of the reason Smith could be heading to the Senate, the sources said, is that she has indicated no interest in running for Congress in the past and would not run for the remainder of Franken’s term, which expires in 2020, in a 2018 special election. That would clear the way for a wide open Democratic primary next year.
John Conyers II is out. Long live John Conyers III.
After spending almost 60 years in Congress as a politician and a staffer, Rep. John Conyers II has to decide which of his many relatives to pass Michigan’s 13th congressional district to. It’s like King Lear, if Shakespeare’s fictional monarch had been forced to step down after groping a woman in church.
The 13th is a very nice district to inherit. Conyers has won it by 77%, 79% and 82%. Fidel Castro couldn’t ask for better elections. Whichever Conyers clan member gets it will be staying in Congress for 60 years.
And will inherit Rep. Conyers’ government Cadillac Escalade.
December 7, 1941: More than 2,300 American servicemen were murdered in a sneak attack by the Empire of Japan. It drew us directly into a war that had been raging in Europe for more than two years. It changed the course of history and ended a madman’s dream of world domination.
Fast forward 76 years. The USS Arizona still rests in the harbor, along with those joined for eternity. I’ve never been there, but know people who have. You cannot come away from there unmoved if you have a soul. Our WWII veterans are almost all gone now, passing into glory at a rapid rate. After suffering eight years of humiliation at the hands of a man who presided over a country he hated, these few once again have a president who sees them as the legends they are.
World War II Veteran Interrupts Trump’s Pearl Harbor Speech to Sing ‘Remember Pearl Harbor’
During his speech, one of the World War II veterans, Michael “Mickey” Ganitch, interrupted and started singing the song “Remember Pearl Harbor.”
Before President Trump signed a formal proclamation on the 76th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, one veteran of the Japanese attack broke out in song. Trump said that, following the attack, a “battle cry could be heard by American friends and foes alike: Remember Pearl Harbor.”
The veteran standing closest to him smiled and began singing the lyrics to the Sammy Kaye song. “Let’s remember Pearl Harbor as we go to meet the foe. Let’s remember Pearl Harbor, as we did the Alamo,” he sang. “We will always remember how they died for liberty. Let’s remember Pearl Harbor, and go on to victory.”
The following veterans attended Trump’s ceremony, where the president signed a proclamation for Pearl Harbor Day:
Michael Ganitch, chief quartermaster, United States Navy, USS Pennsylvania
Jack Holder, Flight Engineer, United States Navy, PBY Ford Island
Alexander Horanzy, Private, United States Army, Schofield Barracks
Lawrence Parry, Private, United States Army, Fort Armstrong
Robert Fernandez, Seaman First Class, United States Navy, USS Curtiss
George Blake, Staff Sergeant, Coastal Artillery Battery
THEY ARE A PRECIOUS TREASURE THAT CAN NEVER BE REPLACED.
Today we honor Pearl Harbor Heroes. Thank you to all military for your courage and sacrifice!
Here’s the original version of the song: Remember Pearl Harbor by Sammy Kaye
ON PEARL HARBOR DAY Obama Would Post Photos of Himself — TRUMP Invites WWII Veterans to White House
In December 2013 Barack Obama honored the dead from Pearl Harbor by posting a photo of himself
THIS MAN IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE/
In December 2016, on the 75th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attacks, Barack Obama honored the fallen heroes of Pearl Harbor with another photo of himself. On December 7, 2017, President Trump honored the fallen of Pearl Harbor by inviting the survivors to the White House.
EVEN ON SUCH A SOLEMN OCCASION, THAT LITTLE PIMPLE FROM #FAKE NEWS STILL HAS TO BE A PAIN.
Flanked By Pearl Harbor Survivors Trump Stops And Drops A Nuke On CNN
Acosta shouted this question to Trump as he exited the room with the Pearl Harbor veterans: “Any comment on senator Al Franken? He made some comments about you earlier today.”
Trump paused and with the strength of the Pearl Harbor veterans behind him, shut CNN down with five words: “I didn’t hear it. Sorry.: Then Trump left the room, flanked by American heroes.
In full disclosure I can’t stand this overbearing loudmouth punk. Never could. When I first saw him on SNL I wondered where the hell they found this squinty-eyed little moron. Through massive vote fraud, he actually managed to steal a seat in the US Senate from Norm Coleman. His entire tenure has been fraught with crass, vulgar behavior. During Senate hearings he’s been rude, profane, and boorish. Well, karma’s a bitch, and it looks like it may have bitten him in the hind quarters … finally. Check this out:
‘It’s my right as an entertainer’: Franken staffer comes forward as 7th accuser of sexual misconduct
It appears the worst is not yet behind Al Franken. The Democratic Minnesota Senator was hit by another sexual harassment allegation on Wednesday, bringing the total up to seven.
“He was between me and the door and he was coming at me to kiss me. It was very quick and I think my brain had to work really hard to be like ‘Wait, what is happening?’ But I knew whatever was happening was not right and I ducked. I was really startled by it and I just sort of booked it towards the door and he said, ‘It’s my right as an entertainer.’”
As Franken’s support collapses, Democrats expect resignation
Though the writing appeared to be on the wall, Franken’s departure was not certain. A tweet posted Wednesday evening on Franken’s Twitter account said: “Senator Franken is talking with his family at this time and plans to make an announcement in D.C. tomorrow. Any reports of a final decision are inaccurate.” Late in the day, Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York added his voice. “I consider Senator Franken a dear friend and greatly respect his accomplishments, but he has a higher obligation to his constituents and the Senate, and he should step down immediately,” Schumer said.
WHEN SCHUMER SAYS IT’S TIME TO GO, PACK YOUR BAGS.
[CtH: Makes me sick they’re leaving it up to him, while simultaneously talking about maybe blocking Moore from taking his seat if he wins!]
So, What Happens to Al Franken’s Seat If He Resigns? The walls are closing in on Sen. Al Franken, with a seventh accuser stepping forward today and multiple Democrats calling for his resignation in the aftermath, including DNC chair Tom Perez and more than 20 Senators (and counting).
Franken is expected to give remarks tomorrow and, well, it’d be pretty crazy if he didn’t resign. The former SNL star’s time in public service should be drawing to a close, and provided it did, what happens next in Minnesota politics? Democratic Governor Mark Dayton is given the ability to make a “temporary appointment to fill any vacancy,” according to state law.
In other words, Dayton can pick whoever he wants and this pick is guaranteed to be a Democrat. Which Democrat? That is still up in the air, but leading candidates would have to be Rep. Keith Ellison, Attorney General Lori Swanson, State Auditor Rebecca Otto and Lieutenant Governor Tina Smith.
MY PERSONAL GUESS IS HE’LL PICK THE MUSLIM RACE HUSTLER. HE’S THE MOST RADICAL OF THE BUNCH (I HOPE).
IN OTHER NEWS: REMEMBER THAT IMPEACHMENT VOTE FROM CONGRESSMAN GORK, THE CAVEMAN? YEAH, IT DIDN’T GO SO WELL.
An attempt to impeach Trump today failed 364-58
There are really two ways to look at this effort. One is that this attempt to impeach President Trump got slapped down hard today. The other is that there are now 58 Democrats willing to attach their names to this desperate action which their own leadership is officially against, at least for the moment. Again, the message isn’t ‘No’ it’s ‘Not yet.’ The White House responded by labeling Rep. Green and those who voted with him extremists. “Their time would be better spent focusing on tax relief for American families and businesses, and working to fund our troops and veterans through the holiday season rather than threaten a government shutdown.”
Sarah Sanders Calls Dem Stunt “Pathetic” After House Overwhelmingly Rejects Trump Impeachment Resolution

Chelsea Handler Forced To Flee Burning Mansion — Blames President Trump For Wildfires The fires are affecting northern Los Angeles neighborhoods and are forcing some big stars to flee their mansion estates. While the source of the wildfires has yet to be discovered, outspoken Trump critic Chelsea Handler was forced to flee her home and immediately blamed President Trump. “Just evacuated my house,” she tweeted Wednesday afternoon. “It’s like Donald Trump is setting the world on fire. Literally and figuratively. Stay safe everyone. Dark times.”

Sullivan reports Rep. Terri Sewell (D-AL), the state’s lone Democratic member of the House of Representatives, is spearheading the effort to bring some high-profile African-American Democrats to the Yellowhammer State, including the Booker and Rep.

McConnell: Hope Moore is prepared for his Ethics probe
Hopefully Senate Republicans will be prepared for it, too. This leftover from yesterday will take on additional importance if Al Franken resigns tomorrow. Democrats clean up their messes while Republicans get theirs elected will be the cry from the media, ignoring their 25-year record of covering for Bill Clinton’s sexual predation and their efforts to get him back in the White House via Hillary.
[CtH: They’ll completely ignore how they let said Democrats CHOOSE if they were going to resign. At least VOTERS are getting to decide about Moore.]
John Conyers III Allegedly Body-Slammed His Girlfriend And Cut Her With A Knife
HIS DADDY IS PROUD OF THIS CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK.
John Conyers III, son of disgraced former Rep. John Conyers Jr., allegedly body-slammed his girlfriend and then spat on her during a domestic dispute, according to a new report. Conyers Jr., who resigned on Tuesday after a flood of sexual harassment allegations against him, has said that he wants Conyers III to run for his empty seat.

BARACK OBAMA Was Worst Economic President Since 1949 – Now He’s TAKING CREDIT For Trump’s Booming Economy Here is the complete list of average annual real GDP growth by postwar president (in descending order):
President Trump’s first year in office will beat Barack Obama’s best year ever. President Trump has seen quarterly GDP rates of 1.2%, 3.1% and 3.3%. The New York Federal Reserve revised its estimated fourth quarter GDP of 2017 to 3.93. This will give President Trump an annual GDP rate of 2.9 in 2017 or possibly higher.
At a conference of mayors in Chicago, Mr. Obama congratulated himself Tuesday for strong employment numbers in the U.S. this year, saying his climate-change policies have contributed to growth. “As we took these actions, we saw the U.S. economy grow consistently,” Mr. Obama said. “We saw the longest streak of job creation in American history by far, a streak that still continues by the way.” He added wryly, “Thanks, Obama.”
[CtH: Typical Obama. He has a long history of taking credit for other’s successes, while denying (like Hillary) that any of his numerous failures had anything to do with him. Also, typical of Obama is the backward tilt of his head, so he’s always looking down his nose at everyone. ]
Obama Invokes Nazi Germany, Warns Against Voters Becoming ‘Complacent’ The two-term Democrat expressed the importance of a free press and urged the country not to “grow complacent,” saying “we have to tend to this garden of democracy or else things could fall apart quickly.” Hinz writes Obama then brought up the specter of Adolf Hitler, who came to power in Democratic Germany amid the financial crisis of the 1930’s. “Sixty million people died…” he reports Obama said. “So, you’ve got to pay attention. And vote.” On Twitter, Hinz called the comments “remarkable” and framed them as a rebuke of current president Donald Trump. Take that, @realDonaldTrump: @BarackObama makes clear his view that a complacent America could be headed the way of Nazi Germany. Read his remarkable comments at #EconomicClub of Chicago.
[CtH: Mr. FORMER President, sir, we were paying attention and we VOTED. That’s why Hillary isn’t president.]
Franklin Graham: No President in My Lifetime Has Defended the Christian Faith Like Trump
In a Dec. 1 post on Facebook, the day the tree was lit, Rev. Graham said, “Never in my lifetime have we had a president willing to take a strong, outspoken stand for the Christian faith like President Donald J. Trump has.” “Whether you are Protestant, evangelical, Orthodox, Catholic — all Christians need to get behind him with our prayers,” said Graham.
“For Christians this is a holy season, the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Christmas story begins 2,000 years ago with a mother, a father, their baby son, and the most extraordinary gift of all – the gift of God’s love for all of humanity.
‘My Dad is a F*cking Player’: Rep. John Conyers Son’s Deleted Tweet Resurfaces After Endorsement In a now deleted tweet from June 9th, 2010, John Conyers III (who has since deleted his Twitter account), appears to have been making reference to his father’s infidelity.
“My dad is a f*cking player and reckless as hell! He just got at this doods wife super low-key.”
John Conyers III., the son and appointed successor of John Conyers’ Jr., the disgraced Democratic politician who announced his resignation on Tuesday, is a former attempted rapper who bragged that his friends are drug dealers and his dad “is a f***ing player.”
The son’s brief rap career included lyrical gems such as “My n***as turn grams into grands” and “Ay f**k making a living bro, I’m trying to make history/So picture me letting the news nit-pick at me.”
Oregon Muse via Ace Of Spades opined: “So that withered old crone Cokie Roberts now admits that ‘everyone knew’ not to get into an elevator with Democratic Rep John Conyers because of his gropey, gropey hands. She never raised a complaint about it, though. However, she did spend most of the 1990s winking at and excusing Bill Clinton’s horndoggery, while slamming Republicans for being sexist and ‘against women’. Ouch. Just thinking about the immense amount of effort it must have taken her to square all of those circles makes my brain hurt.”
Lord Conyers, the Earl of Detroit, bequeaths his peerage to his son He and his family will continue to live large off of the Federal Government – and by extension the American taxpayer.
This kind of stuff absolutely sickens me.
Lord Conyers really does believe that he and his family are entitled to hold this seat for as long as they choose.
And what’s truly pathetic is the serfs in Detroit will happily play along with his sense of entitlement. http://patriotretort.com/lord-conyers-earl-detroit-bequeaths-peerage-son/
Roy Moore: ‘We’ve Got to Go Back to God’ to Save Our Country
THIS IS PRECISELY WHY THE SWAMP WANTS NO PART OF HIM.
YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT. –Mick Jagger
Moore campaigned with Bannon in the same barn as during the Republican primary, when he was locked in a battle against the establishment. A bluegrass band opened up the rally, where Moore supporters gathered at the close of a grueling campaign.
The former judge quoted Ephesians 6, reminding voters that they were fighting a spiritual battle against the forces of evil, urging them to “take up the armor of God.” http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/12/05/roy-moore-weve-got-to-go-back-to-god-to-save-our-country/
Sanders Asked If Trump Visiting Civil Rights Museum Is ‘Insulting’; She Drops Cold, Hard Truth
THE RACE BAITERS ARE IN A SNIT ABOUT THE PRESIDENT GOING TO A CIVIL RIGHTS MUSEUM. THE TRUTH IS HE’S DONE MORE TO LIFT BLACKS OUT OF POVERTY THAN ALL THEIR BLOVIATING AND PHONY OUTRAGE.
Sarah Sanders announced during the White House press briefing Tuesday that President Trump would visit Mississippi this weekend. On his trip, Trump will participate in the grand opening of the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum.
Sanders was asked later in the briefing if Trump’s visit to the civil rights museum was a good idea. American Urban Radio reporter April Ryan asked about various members of the NAACP and black ministers who are protesting the visit.
“There are comments from people from the NAACP from black ministers who are planning on protesting and boycotting this weekend for the president’s visit to the Civil Rights Museum. What say you?” Ryan asked.
WHY DOES THAT RACIST PIG STILL HAVE HER CREDENTIAL?
Sarah Sanders on Black Ministers protesting Trump visit to Civil rights Museum
WAAHHHH!! THE PRESIDENT WON’T LET US SCREW HIM OVER ON A DAILY BASIS!
The White House press briefing, always a spin zone, is now approaching uselessness “The briefing is just unrecognizable from the days when it was a very useful tool,” said Ann Compton, a former ABC News correspondent who covered seven presidents over a 40-year span from Gerald Ford to Barack Obama.
Concern over the demise of the briefing began before Trump was elected, part of a general concern about administrations trying to bypass the news media. President Obama, for example, drew criticism when he hired an official videographer who reporters feared might substitute for news cameras.

Hallelujah! Trump Will Recognize Jerusalem as Capital of Israel Wednesday, Begin Moving Embassy
President Donald Trump will announce Wednesday that the United States recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and that the State Department will begin a process to move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
The officials conveyed that the change is a recognition of “reality” — both the historic reality that Jerusalem has been the capital of the Jewish people and the Jewish faith since ancient times; and the modern reality that the city is the seat of government for Israel, housing its legislature, supreme court, prime minister, and executive agencies.
Presidents have long hesitated to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel because,they claimed,it would impede a “two state solution.” The reality is, there are NOT TWO STATES! There is the state of Israel and a bunch of displaced sand lizards that Jordan didn’t want to feed, so they told them “Go squat on the West Bank — the Jews will take care of you while you hide behind schools and hospitals and fire hundreds of rockets at them and bomb school buses and restaurants.”
The lead singer of the Muslim rock band known as “The Hamas Terrorists,” a dude named Meathead Grabass or something like that, took time from his quest for true love in a barnyard to whine that this will inhibit the “peace process.” Their idea of a peace process is the extermination of the Jewish state. Then they will be at peace… until they find somebody else to kill.
Feinstein Urges Trump Not to Move U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, Despite Voting to Move Embassy to Jerusalem
Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) on Tuesday castigated the idea of moving the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, saying it would be a “terrible decision” despite previously voting for the embassy move to take place.
Hamas plans ‘day of rage’ in response to Trump’s Jerusalem decision
Terror group Hamas is calling for a “day of rage” Friday, urging Palestinians to protest President Donald Trump’s plan to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move the U.S. Embassy there from Tel Aviv.
The group, designated a terrorist organization by the U.S., encouraged Palestinians in an official Arabic statement to send a message “with all available means” to Israel after the upcoming Friday prayers.
It added that making Jerusalem the Israeli capital was crossing a “red line.”
[CtH: Yeah, let’s not cross any “red lines” … the way Obama did over and over and over.]
There’s so much happening at such speed that I could have listed a lot more different items here. I’ll put them on another post to try to maintain some semblance of order.
Comments Off on Rejoice, O Israel — You have a Champion
My beloved child bride was tending Miss Olivia, who wasn’t feeling well, so I turned in about 8:00PM. Someone locked the bottom door of our apartment building, which is broken and there is no key for, just the deadbolt that all tenants can open. She had to ring the buzzer shortly after 9 and I’ve been up since.
I leave for work in an hour and a half so I thought I’d take a minute to post some things I didn’t get around to yesterday.
One week from today is the showdown in Alabama. Trump has finally given his full support to Judge Moore and the RNC is funding his campaign again. This seems to be a sign they know he’s going to win despite their best efforts to screw him over. The left, though, never gives up. They sense that Roy Moore is heading toward victory.
Alabama voters doubt accusations enough that they may feel comfortable sending a message of contempt for Washington, both D.C. and Post
If there was a turning point in Roy Moore’s political fortunes, it was the press conference Gloria Allred held with accuser Beverly Nelson, who emotionally described what she said was a sexual assault behind a diner at which she worked. That press conference gave Moore two things he needed politically: a chance to make Allred an issue in the campaign, and a piece of physical evidence to attack, the handwriting in the yearbook.
Mitch McConnell Folds on Opposition to Roy Moore: ‘We’re Going to Let the People of Alabama Decide’
“Well, I think — we’re going to let the people of Alabama decide a week from Tuesday who they want to send to the Senate. And then we’ll address the matter appropriately,” McConnell said, insinuating that he would back a Senate Ethics Committee investigation of the allegations against Moore when Moore wins on Dec. 12.
[CtH: Meanwhile, they’re letting Democrats decide IF they want to resign?]
I PREDICT IF MOORE WINS AND McCONNELL REFUSES TO SEAT HIM, THERE WILL BE A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS.
Soros Army in Alabama to Register Convicted Felons to Vote Against Roy Moore
HEY, IT HELPED THE DEMOCRATS WIN IN VIRGINIA.
The aim of the effort has been to get as many felons as possible on the roster before last Monday, the deadline to register in order to vote in Alabama’s Dec. 12 senate special election that pits Republican Roy Moore against Democratic challenger Doug Jones. The man spearheading the campaign has stated outright that his effort is meant to ensure a Democratic victory in Alabama.
The thousands of felons reportedly newly registered over the past few weeks were most likely not included in any recent polling on the Alabama senate race put out by major firms.
[CtH: What does it say about the Democratic Party that they feel confident that FELONS will vote for THEIR candidates?]
Supreme Court Allows Trump’s Full Travel Ban In 7-2 Decision
The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to fully enforce the travel ban by residents from six radical regimes and failed states. The travel ban applies to travelers from Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. And officials from North Korea and Venezuela. Far left Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor dissented.
YOU LIKELY KNEW WHO THE DISSENTERS WERE. TRUMP SHOULD SEND AUTOGRAPHED COPIES TO THE NINTH CIRCUS AND THAT PUNK BUDDY OF OBAMA’S IN HAWAII.
Trump’s Plan To Overhaul National Monuments Law Is All About ‘Righting Past Overreach’
TRUMP SPOKE IN UTAH TODAY AND RETURNED 2 MILLION ACRES THAT OBAMA ILLEGALLY CONFISCATED TO STOP ENERGY EXPLORATION.
Trump will sign orders to shrink the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments as recommended by Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke. However, that’s only the first step in the administration’s plan for the Antiquities Act.
“Public lands should be for the enjoyment of everyone, not just special interests,” will be the Trump administration’s message in this effort
Utah state leaders Greg Hughes and Wayne Niederhauser thanked President Trump for following through on a promise to voters.
“This is great news for the residents of southern Utah who depend on the use of public lands for their livelihoods and the Native Americans who depend on access to Bears Ears lands for their material and spiritual needs.”
NOT EVERYONE WAS HAPPY TO SEE THE PRESIDENT TODAY.
Protesters chanting ‘F—k you, Trump’ greet president at Utah State Capitol
President Trump was greeted by protesters at the Utah State Capitol on Monday shouting “F**k you, Trump” as the motorcade passed by.
The president traveled to Utah on Monday to announce his decision to scale back the state’s Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments.
Obama Can’t Resist Urge to Bash Trump Overseas IT’S JUST KILLING HIM TO SEE ALL HIS DEVIL’S WORK BEING UNDONE.
This weekend, Obama proved once again that he is incapable of affording his successor the same courtesy shown by his predecessor. While speaking in Paris, Obama cited a lack of American leadership on climate change.
Feinstein: Case ‘Being Put Together’ Against Trump For Obstruction of Justice
Democrat Dianne Feinstein, ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, said on Meet the Press that it is becoming clear that President Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey represents an obstruction of justice — a case she believes special counsel Robert Mueller is now focused on.
Dershowitz Slams Feinstein Over Obstruction Argument: ‘Doesn’t Know What She’s Talking About’
“You cannot charge a president with obstruction of justice for exercising his constitutional power to fire Comey and his constitutional authority to tell the Justice Department who to investigate, who not to investigate,” Dershowitz said during an interview with Fox News. “We have precedents that clearly establish that.”
Puerto Rican Refugees Could Flip Florida, Put Impeachment in Play
I HEARD THIS ON RUSH TODAY… THIS IS FRIGHTENING Remember the big hurricane that wiped out Puerto Rico? The publisher of a newspaper in Puerto Rico is reporting that, by their count, 320,000 Puerto Ricans have immigrated to the United States. Seventy percent of them to Florida. Now, the publisher of the Puerto Rican newspaper says that all of these people are very disappointed in the response of the Trump administration to help Puerto Rico recover. She believes by the end of 2018 there will be nearly 400,000 to 500,000 immigrants — think illegal immigrants — in Florida, and, if 60% of them register Democrat, then Florida ever voting for a Republican presidential candidate may be lost for as long as we can see.
REPORT: Trump to Pull U.S. From U.N. Migration Compact Officials stated that the New York Declaration, a non-binding political declaration unanimously approved in a non-binding resolution in September 2016, “contains numerous provisions that are inconsistent with U.S. immigration and refugee policies and the Trump Administration’s immigration principles.”
Trump Dumps Michelle Obama School Lunch Fiasco – Chocolate Milk Is Back!
I LOVED CHOCOLATE MILK IN SCHOOL Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue has been dismissing Michelle Obama’s signature school lunch rules all year.
“This is not reducing the nutritional standards whatsoever,” Perdue said in May when announcing the Agriculture Department’s intention to bring chocolate milk back to schools. “I wouldn’t be as big as I am today without flavored milk.”
Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi claimed Monday the Republican tax bill is the end of the world. Calling the bill “armageddon,” Pelosi said, “There’s really a very hard way to come back from this.”

House Republicans Already Shooting Down Tax Bill’s Promises
FLAKE ISN’T RUNNING AGAIN BECAUSE HE’D GET HIS ASS WHIPPED. WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THE MAINE PAIN?
Collins said she received a promise that the Senate would consider two bipartisan pieces of legislation that would ostensibly mitigate the negative effects that could come from the tax bill’s repeal of Obamacare’s individual mandate. Flake said he received a “firm commitment from Senate Leadership and the administration” to work on a permanent protections for the soon-to-be-ended Obama-era program that shields children of undocumented immigrants.
Report: FBI Agent Dismissed From Mueller’s Russia Probe Changed Comey’s Language on Clinton to ‘Extremely Careless’ THERE WAS A REASON FOR CHANGING THE WORDING.
The shift from “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless,” which may appear pedestrian at first glance, reflected a decision by the FBI that could have had potentially significant legal implications, as the federal law governing the mishandling of classified material establishes criminal penalties for “gross negligence.”
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, raised questions over why the change was made after receiving documents from the FBI last month, but the identity of who was behind the edit has not been reported until now.
Byron York: In Trump-Russia probe, was it all about the Logan Act?
In short, there’s no doubt the Logan Act, a law dismissed as a joke or an archaic irrelevancy or simply unconstitutional by many legal experts, played a central role in the Obama administration’s aggressive and enormously consequential investigation of its successor.
Democrats began accusing Trump of Logan Act violations in the summer of 2016, immediately after the Republican convention, when Trump sarcastically invited Russia to produce the 30,000-plus emails that Hillary Clinton deleted rather than turn over to investigators. “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Trump said during a July 27 news conference. “I think that you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press — let’s see if that happens, that’ll be nice.”
[CtH: This should read, “It is vital we do something to rebuild the trust we threw away in our non-stop efforts to promote Democrat politicians and policies.”]
YOU MEAN THE PEACE PROCESS WHERE YOUR HAMAS DOGS SAY ISRAEL HAS NO RIGHT TO EXIST?? THAT PEACE PROCESS??
COME HERE FOR THE INFORMATION THE MEDIA WHORES REFUSE TO TELL YOU.
In the wake of Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) stepping down from Congress, some disturbing stories have emerged from his former staffers. Namely, he offered one woman $5 million to serve as his surrogate, and his aides were worried that he wanted to have sex with them to impregnate them.
SENATOR MOORE AND SENATOR ARPAIO…HOW DELICIOUS WOULD THAT BE??
The poll claims 43% of Republicans believe the fairy tale… which is complete rubbish.
Katelyn Caralle of the Washington Free Beacon reports that a DNC sanctioned event intent on reforming the party after its disastrous 2016 election efforts was supposed to bring compromise on divisive issues such as the power of super delegates within their presidential primary.
SHE HAD THE NOMINATION SEWN UP BEFORE THE PRIMARY EVEN STARTED BECAUSE SHE HAD ALL THE SUPER DELEGATES IN HER POCKET.
The first of four Chicago suspects accused of beating and torturing a disabled teenager and broadcasting the attack on Facebook has pleaded guilty, but a judge let her off without prison time, a report says.
If the discredited American media have enjoyed even one good week this year, I cannot recall it. But what is not in doubt is that the establishment media have closed 2017 by proving President Trump 100 percent correct about their massive fake news problem.
Weigel was mocking a tweet by Trump posted at 7:41 a.m. EST about the rally crowd being “packed to the rafters”.
Judge Emmet Sullivan was randomly assigned to take over the case after Judge Rudolph Contreras recused himself.
Collins added two amendments to the legislation that passed the Senate last week, one of which would allow taxpayers to deduct property taxes from their annual federal filings, restoring a provision of the House bill that the Senate took out. Another provision added by Collins would lower the threshold for tax deductions for medical expenses.
Here’s CNN’s report:
He was careful this morning not to admit to any wrongdoing, merely saying that he’d lost the confidence of his colleagues and therefore had to go. Imagine now that Moore wins and, as expected, McConnell’s caucus immediately starts hemming and hawing about whether he should be expelled.
You know, Al Franken is one of very few Democrats in Congress who can truly claim to have had a nationwide progressive profile, even before he came to the Senate in 2009, because of his Air America radio show. And that led to him having, you know, a true ability to raise money for other lawmakers.
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton is expected to appoint his lieutenant governor and close ally, Tina Smith, to Al Franken’s seat, three people familiar with the Democratic governor’s thinking said.
On December 7, 2017, President Trump honored the fallen of Pearl Harbor by inviting the survivors to the White House.
The walls are closing in on Sen. Al Franken, with a seventh accuser stepping forward today and multiple Democrats calling for his resignation in the aftermath, including DNC chair Tom Perez and more than 20 Senators (and counting).
It’s like a Democrat Party donor’s dinner. 
GREAT! SEND A FOUL-MOUTHED RACE BAITER TO ALABAMA TO TELL THEM WHAT A BUNCH OF WHITE SUPREMACISTS THEY ARE.
