What They Don’t Tell You

A complicit media is absolutely vital to the fortunes of the democrat party. Being an inveterate liar is requisite to have success as a liberal. If they told the truth they’d never get elected. The secret is to make sure their voting base never hears about the crimes they commit. As informed, intelligent people we see what’s going on, but the propaganda is not aimed at us because they know we’re not buying what they’re selling. The liberal indoctrination centers sometimes referred to as schools make certain young minds are taught to swallow the socialist ideology whole without questioning it. These are the future of the socialist party.

The hatred for President Trump runs even deeper than it did for the eunuch George W. Bush, who has now been forgiven by the left since the Bush clan has joined in their sport of bashing Trump. They will never give Trump credit for anything. Were it not for Twitter, they would have destroyed him before the election.

Turns out Trump didn’t ruin America’s economy
Foreign tourism to New York City is set to rise 3.6 percent this year — defying yet another of the many doomsday predictions about Donald Trump’s presidency.
Finance expert Steve Rattner foresaw “a market crash of historic proportions” under a President Trump.

More recently, Trump’s cutbacks of money to help folks sign up for ObamaCare brought warnings that enrollment would surely plummet. Hah! Over the first few days of open enrollment this year, a record number of people signed up, The Hill reported Tuesday.

Extreme Language From Dems A Sign They Know Tax Plan Would Be Big Win For GOP

Stuart Varney on FBN said the Dems are in disarray and their extreme language is an indication of a last ditch desperation effort to stop the Republican tax reform plan, because D’s know it would be a huge victory for the GOP and for Trump.

No Regrets: Trump Backers Say They’d Vote For Him Again, One Year After Election
A POLITICO/Morning Consult poll reports that 82 percent of Trump voters surveyed would vote for him again if they could.

Democratic Congressional Candidate Arrested for Stalking in New Mexico
A Democrat running for Congress in New Mexico’s second district was found and arrested at an apartment complex in Albuquerque on Friday, nearly two weeks after an arrest warrant was issued for him. Alcon was previously convicted of stalking a woman in 2007. His campaign has so far not released a statement or responded to requests for comment.

[CtH: This guy was CONVICTED of stalking a woman in 2007?! Way to go, all you Democrats of New Mexico who nominated this turd. I’m so impressed by this further evidence of your unwavering commitment to disrespecting and preying on women. I’m not gonna hold my breath waiting on the Slime Stream Media to yammer on about what a loathsome pig he is or for RINO John McCain to proclaim how he should step down, so New Mexicans can vote for “a candidate they can be proud of.”]

Trump Prepared To Expel Special Interest From Judicial Confirmation Process
The White House may soon advise President Donald Trump’s judicial nominees not to cooperate with the American Bar Association’s independent vetting process, further weakening the dominant role the interest group has played for decades in judicial confirmations.

The ABA has rated four of Trump’s district court nominees “unqualified” in recent months. One such nominee was Holly Teeter, a federal prosecutor with slightly less than the 12 years experience traditionally required by the ABA.

Trump’s Top Labor Prosecutor Could Unravel Obama-Era Gains
NLRB General Counsel Peter Robb will replace career union attorney Richard Griffin as top labor enforcer.  Management-side attorneys concede that Griffin was an effective prosecutor from an ideological standpoint.

Steve Bernstein, an employer labor attorney at Fisher Phillips, said Griffin “achieved an awful lot” during his four-year tenure. Lotito called Griffin’s knowledge of the law “first rate,” but said his legacy on the board will be as “one of the most progressive general counsels in the history of the agency.”

Trump triumphs, media changes subjects

President Trump returned from one of the longest and most successful overseas trips by a president since President Reagan returned from Reykjavik without giving Gorbachev a treaty in 1986.

So what dominated the Sunday morning talk shows on “national news” outlets? Judge Roy Moore.

Trump’s Asia Trip Bolsters ‘America First’

The president projects American power after eight years of pathetic servility.

“This is a very different administration than the United States has had in the past. Do not underestimate us. Do not try us. We will defend our common security, our shared prosperity, and our sacred liberty,” Trump said.

“The weapons you are acquiring are not making you safer, they are putting your regime in grave danger,” the president said as if addressing Kim. “Every step you take down this dark path increases the peril you face. North Korea is not the paradise your grandfather envisioned. It is a hell that no person deserves.”
In that country, “leaders imprison their people under the banner of tyranny, fascism, and oppression,” he added.

Harry Reid Says He ‘Did What Was Necessary’ By Lying About Mitt Romney’s Tax Returns
The caller asked Reid if he thought that “the brazen lie he told about Mitt Romney not pay his taxes has in anyway contributed to the fake news debate that we now find ourselves in.”

Reid, who is leaving the Senate next month, denied the accusation. But he offered up a flimsy and fact-devoid defense of those 2012 claims.

“First of all, there were no brazen lies. What I said is the truth,” he maintained.
“There’s no brazen lies. I did what was necessary,” he said a few moments later.

Trump is the Next Target after Roy Moore

There’s a reason why President Trump says that the fate of Senate candidate Roy Moore will depend on whether the charges against him are proven to be true. Trump knows that if they get rid of Moore, using charges that obviously cannot be proven, he’s their next target. Sex-gate will follow Russia-gate.  In this atmosphere, women charging sexual harassment are easy to find, even if their charges cannot be proven. The men are assumed to be guilty as charged.

Washington Post Offered Money To Roy Moore Accusers While Getting “Tips” From Mitch McConnell
In possibly the biggest example yet that it’s the mainstream press and not the so called “fringe sites” who really produce the most actual fake news. New evidence has now come to light that the Washington Post’s now infamous hit piece on Judge Roy Moore might in fact be a complete fabrication, or at least a carefully planned exaggeration of the truth.

Three UCLA Basketball Players En Route To USA After Trump Asked Chinese President To Assist With Case

4 Pete’s Sake: Monday, November 13

It is at once sickening and maddening that when anything happens you know exactly how the left/media will react.  The only reason the democrats have remained a viable political party for as long as they have is they turned our schools into indoctrination centers turning out socially engineered automatons who have no knowledge of America’s history and are barely capable of independent thought.   They only see the headline in any story and accept whatever they are told without question.

Someone once said the ill-educated are more easily commanded.

You just knew once this woman came forward making accusations against Judge Moore, an honorable and Godly man, that the media would grab it like a coyote grabbing a dead ground squirrel and rub their noses in it to spread the smell.  The newspapers and airwaves were blitzed with scurrilous accusations that many people believed, even if the facts were made up from whole cloth.  Meanwhile there’s a trial going on right now of a senator charged with 22 counts of corruption and sex trafficking. No one has heard a word of it. The difference is the senator has a ‘D’ after his name and that makes all the difference,since they are held to no standards of morality.

CtH: I mentioned the Menendez trial and Dearest had literally never heard of it.  He likes to listen to Rush and Laura Ingraham, so is usually up on this stuff, but he’s been really busy lately.  (Hurrah for the Trump Economy!)

The DC Swamp is an exclusive society that does not accept outsiders. They despise Donald Trump for invading their little clique and want to deprive him of anyone who would not sell him out. They are furiously attempting to ruin Judge Moore and can only do it with the complicity of their republican co-conspirators.

McConnell Implies He May Not Seat Roy Moore if He Wins Election

RINO swamp creatures such as Mitch McConnell are so afraid that Roy Moore will win the Alabama Senate seat that they are pulling out all the stops to block him.  And to hell with the voters.
Republican senators and their advisers, in a flurry of phone calls, emails and text messages, discussed fielding a write-in candidate, pushing Alabama’s governor to delay the Dec. 12 special election or even not seating Mr. Moore at all should he be elected. In an interview, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader, declined to say whether he would agree to seat Mr. Moore should he win.

Swamp Creature McConnell Implies He May Not Seat Roy Moore if He Wins Election!

Would the Senate invoke Article I, Section 5, clause 2, to “expel” Senator Roy Moore?

[CtH: I’ve seen stories about how Democrat senators have no intention of ousting Menendez EVEN IF HE’S CONVICTED!]

The WaPo article does not say how WaPo found these specific women, it only says it heard general rumors:

“While reporting a story in Alabama about supporters of Moore’s Senate campaign, a Post reporter heard that Moore allegedly had sought relationships with teenage girls. Over the ensuing three weeks, two Post reporters contacted and interviewed the four women.”

Alabama is a pretty big state, it would be interesting to know how WaPo identified four women out of millions for a story that has not been uncovered by any of Moore’s many prior political opponents.

Let’s hope more evidence comes out that sheds light on who is telling the truth, and that it comes out before the election.

John McCain @SenJohnMcCain

The allegations against Roy Moore are deeply disturbing and disqualifying. He should immediately step aside and allow the people of Alabama to elect a candidate they can be proud of.  1:44 PM – Nov 9, 2017

[CtH: Yo, Mitt.  Would you have stepped aside if Democrat operatives had made up crap about your past behavior?]

Lindsey Graham Calls for Roy Moore to Step Aside but Defends Bob Menendez
All of the ALLEGATIONS against Moore date from the late 1970s and early 1980s — more than 30 years ago.

Compare this to the allegations against New Jersey Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez, who is ON TRIAL for corruption and sex trafficking.

Lindsey Graham says Moore should be dealt with “harshly”, but that Menendez is an “honest” and “honorable man.”

Judge Roy Moore: Establishment Republicans, Democrats, Washington Post May Have Colluded in Smear

Well I think they should see it how it really is, and that’s 40 years I’ve been in the public eye and serving as a deputy prosecutor—as a judge, I’ve been a chief justice twice. I’ve run a Foundation for Moral Law, and now after 40 years—four weeks out from an election, not even mentioned in a primary, they bring charges and try to back them up with other things that sound bad?

Moore refused debate because of Dem rival’s stance on ‘transgenderism’

“The transgenders don’t have rights,” Moore said Wednesday during a press conference. “They’ve never been denominated as having rights by the U.S. Supreme Court.”

Moore also attacked Jones Wednesday for supporting allowing transgender individuals to serve in the military.

ABC’s Raddatz Disgusted by Skeptics of Allegations Against Roy Moore

On Sunday’s Good Morning America, ABC’s Martha Raddatz used her analysis to express her frustration and contempt for such people. “I don’t really know what those voters are waiting for,” she huffed.

Raddatz was dumbfounded that there were people who didn’t believe the allegations. And her contempt was visible as she talked down to them and about their way of thinking:

But I think, generally, you hear, you know, we don’t know and it was 40 years ago. Sort of the things that Roy Moore was saying. That “if,” “if” he did that. And I don’t know really how you take this further. You’ve got four women on the record who The Washington Post sought out.

Van Hollen Won’t Say Whether Menendez Should Step Down if Convicted By Jury

[CtH: I used to have such high regard for George and Barbara and George and Laura Bush. So far, Laura hasn’t (to my knowledge) done anything to tarnish that. But I heard that some years ago, Barbara said Sarah Palin should shut up and go back to Alaska. I hoped it was just a scurillous rumor. But now it seems the Georges are bad mouthing Trump. I was impressed during all those years they did not stick their noses into public affairs. So WTH are they doing NOW, shooting off their mouths about a REPUBLICAN president?! I’m so disappointed.]

We Persevere

Because we must. For two days I’ve been incapacitated by some kind of bug. Chills, fever, chest congestion, post nasal drip, etc. It usually happens when there’s a drastic change in the weather. When I was a smoker it happened several times a year. Now it just takes a couple days of whining to my wife and trying to get a little sympathy (usually doesn’t work; she just comes up with the standard “If men had to make babies there’d be no babies because we’re all such wimps.”) Fortunately, since I’m retired I don’t have to work every day while I’m sick. I can just sleep and overmedicate, as most men do.

[CtH: We are grateful you are back on your chair, if not totally on your feet yet. <3]

I'm just so sick of the usual suspects who call themselves republicans jumping all over Judge Roy Moore. The NRSC has cut off his funds, they say even if he wins they want nothing to do with him. What is probably the most maddening thing to me is how intense the media whores bear down on people they want to destroy, yet have not breathed a word of the senator on trial for corruption and sex trafficking… and won't. Still, I read this morning a television station in Alabama went out to do man-on-the-street interviews and couldn't find a single person who believed Moore did anything wrong.

[CtH: They only apply "believe the victims" when the alleged perp is a right-winger.  Women accused Bill Clinton of rape; Hillary called them lying floozies and the left nodded and yawned. Anita Hill accused Clarence Thomas of saying something suggestive umpteen years before, in a place where others heard whatever it was he said and where neither she nor they made anything of it at the time.  The left went berserk.  He wasn't fit to serve!  Bring out the tar and feathers.  Grrr.]

Alabama TV Station Can’t Find a Single Person Who Believes Vicious WaPo Hit Piece on Judge Roy Moore

None of the respondents according to Walsh told her they believed the Post’s reporting.

“It’s hard to believe the events that transpired yesterday,” Gordon Fluker of nearby Wilsonville, AL said to Walsh about the Washington Post report.

Fluker’s response was the standard according to Walsh.

“Out of all the voters we spoke with Friday in Columbiana, we didn’t find one voter who believed the Washington Post report about Moore,” she said.

NRSC Drops Roy Moore After Child Molestation Allegations
Now, the NRSC is no longer listed as part of Moore’s joint fundraising committee. The committee still includes the Moore campaign, the Alabama GOP, and the Republican National Committee. (For now.)

Many prominent Republicans, including Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), and President Donald Trump have said that if the claims against Moore are true, they do not think he is fit to be in the Senate.

Poll: Post-Moore Scandal, Alabama All Tied Up
The survey conducted by Opinion Savvy and commissioned by Decision Desk HQ shows Moore and Democrat Doug Jones tied at 46 percent.

Eighty-two percent of voters said they were aware of the allegation that Moore had a sexual encounter with a 14-year old.

Republicans float pushing back Alabama special election

Some party members are reportedly considering getting Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) to move the date of the Dec. 12 special election to early next year, according to The New York Times. Based on Alabama law, it’s too late to remove Moore’s name from the ballot.

Republicans Say Moore’s More Trouble Than a Senate Seat’s Worth

Roy Moore could do more damage to the GOP brand than an Alabama Senate seat is worth.  That’s a major concern for Republicans as Moore tries to weather allegations, reported by the Washington Post, that he initiated a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl in 1979 when he was 32, and others in the GOP try to figure out how best to handle the political bombshell.

You Knew It Was Coming

One thing about democrats, they’re nothing if not predictable. Anytime they’re faced with an opponent who isn’t willing to play by their rules the smears start. In the 2008 republican primary Herman Cain found himself leading. Voila! Four women came forward to claim he sexually harassed them. The media ran more than 100 pieces in a 24 hour blitz. He dropped out of the race and the paid whores melted back into the woodwork, never to be heard from again.
One day AFTER the deadline to have a candidate changed on the ballot, Rahm Emanuel revealed that congressman Mark Foley had sent a suggestive e-mail to a young House page. He was never heard from again. They tried it with Gary Bauer, but he was such a minor distraction nobody saw him as being capable of having an affair.
Now comes the sickening part. Judge Roy Moore, a true conservative and a man of God, bested McConnell/RINO/democrat-backed Luther Strange in the primary for the special election to be held December 12. The polls show him with a substantial lead, so out comes a woman who claims he acted indecently toward her 40 YEARS AGO. Nothing had been mentioned in all that time he spent on the bench of the Alabama Supreme Court or during the runup to the primary. The usual suspects raised their worthless voices for him to drop out. You know their names: McConnell, McCain, Graham, Flake, and Murkowski. What remains to be seen is whether the voters in Alabama will be fooled by this obvious hit job. What is certain is that the media will engage in a relentless attack for the next month. It’s what they do.

Woman Claims 32-Year-Old Roy Moore Molested Her When She was a Young Teenager
Aside from Corfman, three other women interviewed by The Washington Post in recent weeks say Moore pursued them when they were between the ages of 16 and 18 and he was in his early 30s, episodes they say they found flattering at the time, but troubling as they got older.

MARK LEVIN Exposes WaPo Hit Piece on Judge Moore As Complete Fabrication

Mark Levin told his audience on Thursday this whole thing doesn’t smell right. This story was planted and perfectly timed in their hopes to doom Moore’s campaign.
How did the WaPo know there were four women, who they were, and how to contact them?… A Washington Post reporter just happens to be in Alabama talking to Roy Moore supporters… And he happens to hear what no one has reported in 38 years, no political opponents – No one… That Roy Moore, 38 years ago, made advances to teenage girls.

Gillespie Ran a JEB! Campaign in a Trump World


Conservatives were told that candidates like Ken Cuccinelli spelled certain doom, that the answer was a moderate establishment candidate. Tonight we now know that that candidate Ed Gillespie did worse than Ken Cuccinelli did. And Cuccinelli performed better without the support of the Virginia GOP establishment.

Ed Gillespie is certainly a good fellow. But his campaign used messages from 2004 and tactics from 1996. It seemed to exist outside of the ferocious upheavals of the modern polarized political world.

Oh, Here We Go: Hillary Taking Credit For Democratic Wins Last Night

First, it was to send a strong message to Trump, he animated the base to levels not seen since 2008, which was the year Obama won in a landslide win. With those figures, the GOP was going to get trashed.

Yet, do you know which person had nothing to do with it, but is attempting to take credit for it anyway: Hillary Clinton. It didn’t take long for her majesty to try and bathe in the afterglow of the Democrats’ wins last night in Virginia and New Jersey

What the Exit Polls Can Tell Us about the Virginia GOP’s Disaster

The fairest and most accurate critique about Ed Gillespie is that his 2017 campaign was neither fish nor fowl. He had too much history as an Establishment insider to drive up big turnout among Trump’s voters, but his campaign’s autumn messages focusing on sanctuary cities, gangs, Confederate statues and felon voting rights were too “Trumpified” to win over those moderate suburban soccer moms.

House Dem’s new demand: Impeach Trump by Christmas

CONGRESSMAN CAVEMAN

I now announce that before Christmas, there will be a vote on the chief inciter of racism, bigotry, hatred, xenophobia, sexism and ethnocentrism,” he said on the House floor, adding that he prayed the United States will “continue to reject what the inciter in chief, Donald J. Trump has been causing this country to have to endure.”

[CtH: Trump isn’t racist, sexist, or any of the rest, though it is easy to make a compelling case that those who accuse him of these things certainly are.  So what exactly have we had to “endure”?  Vile, slanted, dishonest media reporting, definitely.  Shrieking, foul-mouthed celebrities, absolutely.  Democrat politicians doing what they’ve been doing for years — i.e., damning Republicans without coming up with anything constructive of their own.  But Trump?  What’s Trump actually done besides shoot off his mouth in tweets (which I personally find funny as hell)?]

A Big Night for Democrats

JUST MY OPINION
Virginia had been turning blue for a very long time, pushed by the northern suburbs that are actually part of the corrupt DC swamp. The most affluent counties in the country are located there. I get the sense that after tens of millions of dollars, some of the filthiest tactics imaginable, and finally getting a win after a series of stinging defeats, they will consider this validation for their non-stop assault on President Trump and everything he stands for. Their bed partners, the Enslaved Press have spearheaded the attacks ever since election day last year. They will continue the ham-handed beatdown of all that is right with this country. The GOP better take notice.

Democrats End Losing Streak
Ralph Northam holds on to become Virginia’s next governor
The win comes after a long string of defeats for Democrats that followed their crushing losses last November, when Republicans maintained control of both chambers of Congress and took the presidency.
The win further solidifies Virginia as a blue state: Democrats there have now won two straight gubernatorial elections, carried the state in three straight presidential elections, and have held both the state’s Senate seats since 2009. In 2016, failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton carried Virginia by five points.
For Gillespie, this is the second defeat in a statewide Virginia election in just three years—he unsuccessfully challenged incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Warner in 2014, losing by a small margin.

Democrats End Losing Streak

Democrat Phil Murphy Wins New Jersey Governor’s Race
Democratic candidate Phil Murphy beat Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno (R.) on Tuesday night in the race to replace term-limited Gov. Chris Christie (R.).
Murphy morphed from a Goldman Sachs executive to a diehard progressive, campaigning for a $15 minimum wage, the legalization of marijuana, and standing against President Donald Trump, the New York Times reports.
In his pitch, Murphy told voters that New Jersey is “broken” and needs higher taxes on the wealthy.

New Jersey winner: Victory sends a message to Trump
New Jersey’s next governor, Democrat Phil Murphy, says his party’s victory sends a message to President Donald Trump that the county is “better” than his politics of division.
Northam said in his victory speech that the eyes of the nation were on Virginia on Election Tuesday.
“Virginia has told us to end the divisiveness, that we do not condone hatred and bigotry,” he added. “In Virginia, it is going to take a doctor to heal our differences. I’m here to let you know the doctor is in. And this doctor will be on call the next four years.”
Northam also praised the state’s growing diversity and said he would work to make the state more inclusive. “Our lights will be on, our doors will be open,” he said.

De Blasio Wins Another 4 Years As NYC Mayor
During the campaign, other major progressive figures threw their weight behind de Blasio. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders endorsed him as candidate, as well as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
“Everything that Mayor de Blasio is trying to do is exactly the opposite of what Donald Trump is trying to do,” Sanders said previously. “This mayor is leading the city in a way to bring us together.”

National Donations Help Transgender Win Statehouse Race in Virginia
Transgender activists spent $60 per vote in Virginia to defeat conservative Delegate Bob Marshall.
Danica Roem, a man living as a woman, got 10,800 votes in Manassas Park City and Prince William County after spending more than $600,000 in direct donations — mostly from transgender political groups — and getting plenty of support from local media. Thirteen-term Marshall’s campaign was largely ignored by business donors, such as the local Chamber of Commerce. The lack of funding made it difficult for Marshall to highlight Roem’s radical agenda, which includes pushing the transgender ideology in kindergartens

Laura Ingraham on Ed Gillespie: If You Try to Be Half-In Half-Out with Trump – You End Up Political Road Kill
Laura Ingraham hammered Ed Gillespie after his loss Tuesday in the Virginia gubernatorial race.
Gillespie tried to play both sides of the GOP pro-Trump and Party elite — And lost… BIGLY.
Laura Ingraham: Remember last night, what did I say? My book, “Billionaire at the Barricades Populist Revolution from Reagan to Trump,” I made this point really consistently that there is no middle ground with conservative populism. That is the wave of the future. That there is no constituency for open borders, open markets, and endless military interventionalism.

Dem Wins in Virginia, New Jersey: Not a Repudiation of Trump, but a Warning
Pundits are calling Tuesday’s results a repudiation of Trump. That is more than a stretch: it is flatly contradicted by some of the data. Republican Jill Vogel, running for Lieutenant Governor in Virginia, hitched herself to Trump and out-performed the GOP establishment candidate at the top of the ticket, Ed Gillespie, by tens of thousands of votes.
It would be more accurate to point out that, once again, the Republican establishment came up short. Someone in the Gillespie campaign actually thought it would be a good idea to campaign with Condoleezza Rice — who, for all her merits, is a relic of the George W. Bush administration. Gillespie belatedly embraced Trump supporters, but it seems clear from local results that there were more than a few conservatives who were reluctant to be seduced. A late conversion might have been possible for another candidate, but not one who had already run and lost statewide.

Democrat ‘Not Excited’ to Vote Northam: ‘Purely a Vote for the Democratic Party’

NeverTrump ‘Republicans’ Gloat over Democrat Victory in Virginia
The small but vocal contingent of “NeverTrump” Republicans — those who swore never to vote for Donald Trump in the 2016 election, even if that meant handing the country to Hillary Clinton and the Democrats — were exuberant Tuesday night, as Republican gubernatorial candidates went down to defeat in New Jersey and Virginia.
It was the first “victory” for NeverTrump, who cast Tuesday’s result as a vindication of their warnings about Trump.

Journalists Retell Their Election Night Horror Stories
‘People were throwing up. People were on the floor crying’
“Crooked Media” podcast host and former senior political correspondent for MTV News Ana Marie Cox recalled how some of her friends worried about their future.
“A Muslim colleague of mine called his mother. She was worried he was going to be the victim of violence at any moment,” Cox said. “A colleague who is gay and married was on the phone with her wife saying, ‘They’re not going to take this damn ring away from me.'”
Editor of the New Yorker David Remnick discussed his sudden revelation that journalists need to “put pressure on power,” once Trump was elected.

Trump’s Koigate Is Fake News Spun by Shameless White House Press Corps
An otherwise uneventful photo op with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been falsely spun by the White House press corps as a massive diplomatic blunder.
During the photo op, Trump and Abe were feeding koi in a pond below the balcony with spoons.
After several spoonfuls, PM Abe dumps his box of fish food into the pond. Trump follows in kind.

CNN Deceptively Edits to Preserve Anti-Trump Narrative

Fox News yanks Tom Steyer ad calling for Trump’s impeachment
What was Fox thinking agreeing to run his ad in the first place, let alone running it during “Fox & Friends,” POTUS’s favorite show? Steyer must have paid them a small fortune to make it worth their while, knowing how Trump himself and Fox’s extremely pro-Trump audience would react.

Menendez could remain in Senate even if he’s convicted
Republicans would likely try to expel the New Jersey lawmaker, but Democrats are expected to delay.
But expelling Menendez — even if he is convicted of a felony — might not be that easy.
Republicans need a two-thirds majority in the Senate to agree to expel a member, which means they would need Democratic votes. With partisan tensions so high — Democrats are still bitter that Republicans denied President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland the seat last year, among a host of other issues — they are in no mood to cooperate with the GOP majority.

Democrat Ted Lieu Walks Out of Moment of Silence for Texas Victims
My colleagues right now are doing a moment of silence in the House of Representatives chambers. I respect their right to do that, and I myself have participated in many of them.
But I can’t do this again. I’ve been to too many moments of silences [sic]. In just my short career in Congress, three of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history have occurred. I will not be silent.

The heroes of Sutherland Springs
IF YOU READ ONLY ONE ARTICLE, MAKE IT THIS ONE
Any gun-control measure that is sweeping enough to make a dent in the country’s gun stock and render gun ownership difficult enough to, at the margins, keep firearms out of the hands of psychopaths will inevitably affect law-abiding people as well. In places like rural Texas that would rightly be considered a serious imposition.
Without a gun, if something goes wrong, the only option is sitting and waiting for the authorities to show up.
And the likes of Stephen Willeford and Johnnie Langendorff, obviously, aren’t the waiting kind.

Donna Brazile ACTUALLY CHALLENGED Clinton’s Top Male Staffers To A Dick Measuring Contest

Kellyanne Conway Turns the Tables on CNN’s Brian Stelter
CNN has unfortunately, as Conway correctly notes, recast itself from a network that at least pretended not to be liberal – which introduced an element of balance into its coverage – to one that is clearly over on the left with MSNBC.
So, faced immediately with a predictably hostile line of questioning, Conway fought back and made CNN the issue instead of President Trump.

The obligatory “If you ask for a ‘lawyer dog,’ are you invoking your right to counsel?” post
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR
A few days old but no less shocking with the passage of time.
“This is how I feel, if y’all think I did it, I know that I didn’t do it so why don’t you just give me a lawyer dog ’cause this is not what’s up.” The punctuation, arguably critical to Demesme’s use of the sobriquet “dog,” was provided by the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s office in a brief, and then adopted by Louisiana Associate Supreme Court Justice Scott J. Crichton.
The charges: Aggravated rape and indecent behavior with a juvenile. That’s heavy stuff, not the sort of defendant whom a judge is eager to let walk away on a technicality. What happened here, I think, is that the court went looking for a reason to ignore Demesme’s request for an attorney, fearing that he was a very dangerous offender, and seized on that conditional “if y’all think I did it” to claim that he never unambiguously asked for one

Day of Reckoning in Virginia

There’s been a pitched battle taking place in Virginia for months. It will all come to a head today. Ed Gillespie, former head of the RNC and Vietnam veteran is facing a typical socialist hack named Ralph Northam to replace the vile, repugnant Terry Mcauliffe. McAuliffe literally stole the governor’s mansion with illegal votes and looks like he has plans to do it again in the future. Democrats just can’t let go… ever.

Democrats Getting Last Minute Willies In VA Gov Race, And Did Ralph Northam Lie About His Military Career?
In a few hours, the polls will open in Virginia. Democratic candidate Ralph Northam, the lieutenant governor of the state, is in a tight race with Republican Ed Gillespie. This shouldn’t have been a big issue for Democrats. Incumbent Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe is popular. It’s the only southern state that Hillary Clinton won. It’s trending bluish—and Donald Trump is not popular here. And yet, here we are—one of the most critical races of the year, though some Virginia voters probably don’t even know that tomorrow is Election Day.

Barbara Favola Calls Virginia Republicans ‘Evil’

Things Fall Apart: Last Days Of Virginia Governor’s Race Has Democrats In A ‘Circular Firing Squad’
Northam, who is the lieutenant governor of the state, boasted about being the deciding vote in the state Senate that blocked banning sanctuary cities. The Virginia Democrat surely isn’t acting like he’s in the lead. In fact, the attacks on Republican Ed Gillespie in the past few days have reeked of desperation. There must be something in the internal polling that has him and his people spooked because this has become a campaign that seems to be going off the hinges. First, Democracy for Action, the progressive group that called Northam’s campaign “racist” after the sanctuary city position reversal.

PBS Analyst: If Dems Lose In Virginia, It’ll Be ‘Close to Civil War Within the Democratic Party’
With statewide elections on Tuesday in Virginia and New Jersey, the PBS NewsHour week-in-review segment strangely focused on Democrats for a change. Liberal analyst Mark Shields shocked PBS anchor Judy Woodruff by saying if Virginia’s Democratic candidate for governor, Ralph Northam, can’t defeat Republican Ed Gillespie with his alleged Trump baggage, there will be hell to pay:
But I will say this, that it’s proof, more than anything else, to me of how little Barack Obama cared about the Democratic Party or about politics. He was great at getting elected. He got a national majority twice in a row. Nobody had done that since Eisenhower. He was leaving the party $24 million in debt, therefore, vulnerable to Hillary Clinton’s coterie of big givers. Bernie Sanders didn’t have big givers, as we know.

Republican Ed Gillespie: A Reagan conservative tries to appeal and prevail in the age of Trump
Gillespie, communications ace, former lobbyist, and senior aide to President George W. Bush, will find out Tuesday if Virginia voters will send a Reagan conservative to the Virginia governor’s mansion in the era of Donald Trump.
Should Gillespie succeed, he would become the first Republican elected statewide in Virginia since Bob McDonnell led his party’s sweep of statewide offices in 2009. He would likely have a GOP-controlled legislature to pass a broad agenda of bills he could sign into law.

Virginia Gov. (and Longtime Clinton Pal) Terry McAuliffe Rips Brazile Book: ‘Nobody Cares’
Appearing on MSNBC with Katy Tur, McAuliffe — himself a former DNC chair — didn’t mince words when asked about Brazile’s claims.
“Nobody cares about what Donna Brazile has said in a book,” McAuliffe said. “Nobody.”
“Let me be clear, and you can play this back on Wednesday morning,” McAuliffe told Tur. “We are going to win the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general [races].”
The chat concluded with a cringe-worthy exchange between Tur — who’d pressed on the softening poll numbers and the Donna Brazile claims — and McAuliffe.
“Katy, you gotta enjoy life a little bit more,” McAuliffe said.

Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D.) spoke on Saturday at a “Get Out The Vote” canvassing event in Arlington, Va. where she claimed Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie’s tax cuts will “kill us.”
Speaking with Democratic supporters and campaign volunteers, Bowser talked about the importance of believing “climate change is real” and said Democrats will focus on transportation and education before mentioning Republican candidate Ed Gillespie’s plan for tax cuts.
