U.P.S. Delivers; So Does D.J.T.
Amazing. Donald Trump was elected to be the 45th president 21 days ago. Three weeks. He won’t take the oath of office for 53 days. Yet he’s already done more to make things better, more positive for all Americans than that worthless poser has in eight years. Sure, the jobs he saved at the Ford plant in Kentucky and the Carrier jobs may not make a big difference overall, but I can tell you he’s given an awful lot of Americans something they’ve not had for 8 years…hope. Real hope, not a convoluted catch phrase.
Good News: Trump Team And United Technologies Reach Agreement To Keep 1000 Carrier Jobs In Indiana
[CtH: I’m thinking Trump has saved more jobs before taking office than Obama did in 8 years.]
I could have done this also! I just didn’t want to.

Feds cut $167 million in domestic programs to house, feed illegals for just 1 month
The Department of Health and Human Services is raiding several of its accounts, including money for Medicare, the Ryan White AIDS/HIV program and those for cancer and flu research to cover a shortfall in housing illegal youths pouring over the border at a rate of 255 a day.
HHS is trying to come up with $167 million to fund the Office of Refugee Resettlement that is accepting the youths, according to the Center for Immigration Studies.
Gross: Obama Sending Two Top Officials To Fidel Castro’s Funeral
SURPRISED? SHOULDN’T BE.
President Obama will not send an official delegation to the funeral of Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, but two Obama administration officials will attend and represent the United States, the White House said Tuesday.
Attending the funeral will be Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes and Ambassador Jeffrey DeLaurentis, the chief U.S. diplomat in Havana.

Steve Mnuchin picked by Trump to head Treasury Department
Donald Trump will nominate Steve Mnuchin, who has ties to both Wall Street and Hollywood, to be treasury secretary, according to a report Tuesday.
The 53-year-old, who also served as finance director for the presidential campaign, was at Trump Tower on Tuesday to meet with the transition team.
The New York Times reported Tuesday evening that he would be the Treasury pick — sparking an angry reaction from Democrats, who said his ties to Wall Street were a betrayal of Mr. Trump’s campaign promises.
“So much for draining the swamp,” said Democratic National Committee spokesman Adam Hodge. “Nominating Steve Mnuchin to be Treasury Secretary — a billionaire hedge fund manager and Goldman Sachs alumnus who preyed on homeowners struggling during the recession — is a slap in the face to voters who hoped he would shake up Washington.”
GOLDMAN SACHS WAS ALSO HILLARY’S BIGGEST CONTRIBUTOR.
MNUCHIN WILL BE TASKED WITH A CORPORATE TAX REDUCTION PLAN TO BRINGS JOBS AND CAPITAL BACK TO THE STATES.

There is much speculation that president-elect Trump may announce more appointments today, perhaps even the one garnering the most speculation, Secretary of State. A number of names have been bandied about. Names like Dana Rohrbacher, Rudy Giuliani, John Bolton, and the one his base most despises and mistrusts, Willard Mitt Romney. Is he ignoring the voices he’s obviously heard, disapproving most stridently of Mitt, while others think this is nothing more than a head fake to keep people guessing? The bottom line is he’s in charge and will appoint the one he thinks will best represent him to the world. The one certain thing is that whomever he picks the decision will be his and his alone. Unlike past presidents, he doesn’t need everything poll-tested before he decides on a position.
Here’s a List of Who Trump Will Be Meeting With Today
Cabinet positions are still open for State, Interior, Commerce, Labor, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs, EPA, Agriculture, Treasury, trade representative, administrator of the Small Business Administration, chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, and Office of Management and Budget director.

Congressman Warns DHS Against ‘Burrowing’ Obama Appointees
THIS IS STANDARD DEMOCRAT TACTICS. WHEN A REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION TAKES CHARGE, MAKE SURE THEY HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE INSIDE TO DISRUPT OPERATIONS AND FEED INTEL TO THE MEDIA WHORES
With 57 days until the President-elect takes the oath of office, concerns exist that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) non-career positions might be “converted” to career positions,” the letter reads. “Known as ‘burrowing,’ this practice can damage trust with a new Administration and undermine its new priorities. In April 2016, the Chair of my Oversight and Management Efficiency Subcommittee requested quarterly updates from the Under Secretary for Management on such conversions.
McCaul’s suspicions are well-founded, considering he has historical proof. Since 2009, the agency has converted several non-career positions into career ones, including the Assistant Administrator at the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Trump, Romney Talks Baffle All: ‘Nobody Has Any Idea’
Only two things are clear as President-elect Trump and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney meet for the second time on Tuesday: Romney isn’t responding to the increasingly vocal campaign against him, and the final decision is Trump’s.
The dust-up has, not for the first time, created the impression that Trump’s team is in turmoil. But the only two people we haven’t heard from are Romney and Trump.
Rush: It Would Be ‘Impossible’ For Mitt Romney To Apologize and Mean It

The Recount Follies
It is a fact that when democrats lose, especially in a monumental upset, they vent their anger in most curious ways. Petulant, egotistical, and bitter, they strike out in all directions in an attempt to get what they want, regardless of morals, ethics, or dignity. Now comes huckster Jill Stein. Fourth place finisher behind Trump, Clinton, and Gary Johnson, looking to cash in on the hysteria. She has raised some $7 million to ‘fund’ this Kabuki theater. Most of it will probably end up in her bank account. As long as it’s not taxpayer money, in the words of my grandson, “I’m good with that.”
Stringent PA Laws That Protect Democrat Voter Fraud May Stop Hillary from Stealing US Election
WHEN I WAS A VERY YOUNG BOY, MY GRANDFATHER TOLD ME IF YOU HOLD A SNAKE BY THE TAIL IT WILL TURN AROUND AND BITE YOU.
The problem with Pennsylvania’s recount process though for Stein and Clinton is that according to state law three voters in each precinct or election district in Pennsylvania must submit a notarized affidavit to the clerk in their individual election districts in order to initiate a recount. There are 9,163 precincts in Pennsylvania. As of noon Monday,the Philadelphia city Board of Elections had received petitions for 35 of the 1,686 voting divisions in Philadelphia, according to City Commissioner Al Schmidt. By 5:30 p.m., that number was 74— about 4 percent of the city’s total divisions
The laws in Pennsylvania are so stringent that it makes it nearly impossible to have a recount in the state. Unfortunately for Republicans there have been numerous mentions of fraud over the years in the city of Philadelphia alone. For example in 2012, in 59 voting divisions in the city, Mitt Romney received not one vote.
The Pennsylvania laws prevent a recount in areas like Philadelphia where there is good reason to suspect Democrat fraud. This year these same stringent laws may prevent Hillary from stealing the US election.
Oops! Jill Stein Misses Pennsylvania Recount Deadline – But She Did Raise a Ton of Cash
Green Party candidate raised enough money for a recount of votes in Pennsylvania but she missed the deadline on Monday to file.
It was a nearly impossible task to begin with.
Despite her successful fundraising effort, state law made Jill Stein’s potential Pennsylvania recount next to impossible.
Stein missed the deadline.
Trump won Pennsylvania by over 70,000 votes.
This was all a scam.
Wisconsin Rejects Doing Recount By Hand, Stein To Sue
The Wisconsin Elections Commission set a timetable Monday for a recount of the presidential election but rejected a request to conduct it by hand made by Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who quickly responded that she would sue.
It will be a race to finish the recount in time to meet a daunting federal deadline, and the lawsuit could delay the process. Under state law, the recount must begin this week as long as Stein or another candidate pays the $3.5 million estimated cost of the recount by Tuesday, election officials said.
Wisconsin Insider on Recount: Expect MASSIVE DNC Voter Fraud to be Exposed
The Wisconsin Elections Commission set a timetable Monday for a recount of the presidential election but rejected a request for a hand recount. The commission is made up of three Democrats and three Republicans. It adopted the recount plans unanimously.
Meanwhile a Wisconsin insider on 4Chan said to expect the recount to expose massive DNC fraud.
The Anonymous “insider” says the recount will reveal people out of state voting, non citizens voting, people voting numerous times, and nursing home violations.
Be ready for Trump to improve his margin of victory
Jill Stein’s recount is a scam — and it also trolls Trump
Jill Stein’s cynical push for recounts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan has two obvious goals: to raise more political cash, and to “troll” President-elect Donald Trump. She’s succeeding on both fronts — the interests of the nation be damned.
It’s a pander to liberal hysteria over Trump’s win that will doubtless feed conspiracy theories for years to come. (At least she left Florida out of it this time.)
Krauthammer: Stein Is the ‘Ralph Nader of 2016 Now Cashing in on Her Sabotage of Clinton Campaign’
For this reason, Krauthammer made comparisons to the 2000 election, when Ralph Nader drew enough votes away from Al Gore in Florida to tip the state in George W. Bush’s favor.
“This is the Ralph Nader of 2016 now cashing in on her sabotage, there’s no other word, of the Clinton campaign,” he said.

Confidence in Trump’s Leadership is up
Despite the mainstream media, liberal elites, and apoplectic college students warning that Trump will RUIN EVERYTHING, a majority of voters are optimistic about the future.
- 53% have confidence that Trump will do a good job as president.
- 63% expect the economy to be in good shape a year from now.
Considering how nasty the media is and has been about Trump (91% of the broadcast news stories about his campaign were negative), those numbers are extraordinary!

Here’s hoping and praying he grows into the job
Matt Walsh posted this on Facebook. He makes some good points.
I’m not going to spend the next four years justifying everything the president says and does just because he’s a Republican. I know this will put me in a minority among conservatives, but I intend to hold Trump accountable same as I would any other politician.
On that note, let’s look at this tweet the President Elect sent out today. Two problems:
First, it’s an abject lie. There is no evidence that “millions” of votes were made illegally. The future president is making wild, conspiratorial claims without the slightest concern about whether those claims have any relation to the truth whatsoever. I imagine him employing this same tactic as president when it comes to matters of national security, where lives are at stake, and it gives me a very queasy feeling.
Second, the Clinton camp is trying to get a recount in several states. The man who WON has now JUSTIFIED those recounts by claiming that millions of votes were illegitimate. By his own words, a national recount of every vote must be conducted. That’s according to Trump himself. The guy who won. The guy who won just questioned the legitimacy of his own win.
And why? Because of his pride. Even though he won, he can’t stomach the idea that fewer people voted for him than Clinton. So, just to service his damned vanity, he undermined his own win and called into question the authenticity of a voting process that just resulted in him becoming president.
We are in for four years of this crap, folks. And I’m not going to play along. I refuse. Trump is wrong here. He’s lying. He’s being a prideful, reckless idiot and he deserves to be raked over the coals for it. And those who defend him on this deserve to be criticized right along with him.
I opposed The Donald for a long time primarily because he struck me as an Obama in White Face. Unqualified. Narcissistic. I think he’s made a lot of progress growing into the job and I pray that as he gets more of his team assembled, they (and his lovely, level-headed wife) will teach him to rein in the campaign rhetoric. It’s not appropriate coming from a president.
But really … wouldn’t it be sweet if a Democrat-demanded recount uncovered evidence of Democrat voter fraud? ::snork::

President-elect chooses pro-life chief of staff
by Dave Andrusko, editor of National Right to Life News
As you would expect, when President-elect Donald Trump announced that he had chosen Reince Priebus to fill the all-important role of chief of staff, I asked the pro-lifers who would know Priebus best: Wisconsin Right to Life. Here’s what Heather Weininger, Executive Director of Wisconsin Right to Life, told NRL News:
“Reince Priebus is a true friend to all of us in the pro-life movement. Even from his earliest days in Wisconsin politics, Reince has always been, and always will be, on the side of those who are the most vulnerable.
“While his behind-the-scenes pro-life efforts too often go unnoticed, his influence in Republican politics has markedly increased the strength of his party’s pro-life position. Reince, as chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, stayed firm and true to his state party’s pro-life platform. Then, as the head of the Republican National Committee, Reince worked hard to ensure his party’s national platform became the most pro-life it has ever been in the history of the Republican party.
“Reince has never shied away from his firm belief in the right to life. We are thrilled that we will have a Wisconsinite working in the White House to fight for the most basic and fundamental human right, life.”
For me, three items about the Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman stand out, beginning with the joint statement Priebus and RNC Co-Chair Sharon Day released June 27, the day Supreme Court issued its awful Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt ruling:
The next president will likely appoint multiple justices to the Supreme Court, that could determine its course for decades to come. We must always fight to protect life and today’s disappointing decision is another reminder of what’s at stake in this election and why we can’t afford to let Hillary Clinton win.
The second was around the time of the 2014 March for Life which is held annually in Washington, DC. Priebus delayed the start of the party’s annual meeting so he and other members could attend the March which begins on the Mall.
“I saw that there was a real interest among a significant portion of our members to attend and support the Rally for Life,” Mr. Priebus said in an email statement.“This is a core principle of our party. It was natural for me to support our members and our principles.” Priebus also “decided that the RNC will charter a bus to and from the march for those among the RNC’s 168 members who wish to attend,” according to the Washington Times’ Ralph Hallow.
The third was back in April 2012 when Priebus appeared on MSNBC. Correspondent/anchor Thomas Roberts made no bones about where he was coming from—there was a “war on women” because there were “90 different anti-abortion laws coming across the state legislatures, spiking in the country after the Republicans take back state legislatures and governorships [in 2010]. How do you say it’s a fiction?”
Here’s what Priebus said in response:
“You and I are never going to be on the same page as long as you believe that if you’re pro-life, you’re anti-women. And you and I are never going to be on same page because I happen to believe that life begins at conception and you don’t. So, since you don’t believe that…”
Roberts then interrupted him but Priebus finished his point.
“I don’t buy that because I don’t buy your argument. I happen to believe that you can be pro-women and pro-life. You don’t. That’s the problem, Thomas.”
Terrific choice, Mr. President-Elect.

They Never Quit
It never changes. Arrogant, overbearing, and dictatorial when they win, graceless, lawless, bitter, and desperate when they lose. When the election of 1960 was over the margin of victory was razor-thin. It hinged on a massive fraudulent vote from Crook County in Illinois. Rather than throw a tantrum and demand a recount, as was his right, Richard Nixon decided to concede with dignity so as not to put the country through such trauma. Fast forward to 2000. Shoe on the other foot, it took the Supreme Court to stop the blatant attempt to steal the presidency after Bush won three — count ’em, three — recounts in Florida.
The leftists were caught completely off guard by Trump’s win they had to quickly devise a plan to steal what they’d lost fair and square. First, have George Soros fund protests all over the country for more than a week. The media ramps up the hysteria by attacking the new administration on every front. Have operatives try to threaten, bribe, or cajole electors into ignoring their mandate to help them steal a win. Then promise a nondescript fringe candidate tens of millions of dollars to be the decoy in an attempt to force recounts in three states that could turn the election. Only a fool believes that Jill Stein has her own interests at heart in this fiasco. She raised $3.1 million during her entire campaign. To fund the recount she came up with more than $5 million in 2 days. They will not go quietly. Hell,they won’t go at all.
Revealed: Hillary Clinton Schemed Since Day After Election to Steal Presidency From Donald Trump
In public Clinton acted out the part of the gracious, retiring loser– being seen in photos running into supporters as she roamed around her hometown of Chappaqua, New York. But the ‘accepting Hillary’ image was a front that hid the true Hillary who was furiously seeking a way to claw back Trump’s election for herself.
Elias admits the campaign could find no evidence to support a challenge to Trump’s victory, but that is not stopping them from joining Stein in trying to overthrow Trump’s presidency before it begins.
“Because we had not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology, we had not planned to exercise this option ourselves, but now that a recount has been initiated in Wisconsin, we intend to participate in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides.”
‘What a Pack of Losers’: Kellyanne Conway Blasts Clinton Campaign For Joining Recount
“What a pack of sore losers,” Conway said in a statement to Bloomberg. “After asking Mr. Trump and his team a million times on the trail, ‘Will HE accept the election results?’ it turns out Team Hillary and their new BFF Jill Stein can’t accept reality.
“Rather than adhere to the tradition of graciously conceding and wishing the winner well, they’ve opted to waste millions of dollars and dismiss the democratic process. The people have spoken. Time to listen up. #YesYourPresident,” Conway said.
Trump Releases Statement: The “Ridiculous” Green Party Recount Effort Is a Scam
This recount is just a way for Jill Stein, who received less than one percent of the vote overall and wasn’t even on the ballot in many states, to fill her coffers with money, most of which she will never even spend on this ridiculous recount. All three states were won by large numbers of voters, especially Pennsylvania, which was won by more than 70,000 votes.
The Democrats’ real strategy in launching recounts
The recounts, if done by hand, which can be demanded, may take longer than the last day for completing the official counts in a state and directing Electoral College voters. If all 3 states miss the deadline, Trump is at 260, Hillary at 232. No one hits 270.

“This initiative is not about helping one candidate and hurting another,” she said. “We said over and over, we don’t support either of them. In this recount effort, we’re not attempting to overthrow Donald Trump, and I don’t expect that will be the outcome.”
Instead, she said she picked the three states where the vote was the closest to ensure the integrity of the election.

Clinton campaign will participate in Wisconsin recount, with an eye on ‘outside interference,’ lawyer says
In a Medium post, Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias said that the campaign had received “hundreds of messages, emails, and calls urging us to do something, anything, to investigate claims that the election results were hacked and altered in a way to disadvantage Secretary Clinton,” especially in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, where the “combined margin of victory for Donald Trump was merely 107,000 votes.”
“I don’t think there’s any realistic chance whatsoever that even if recounts are done in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, that’s going to change the outcome in the states, or in the presidential election generally,” Hasen said.
In a statement Saturday, Trump said the recount was “just a way for Jill Stein, who received less than one percent of the vote overall and wasn’t even on the ballot in many states, to fill her coffers with money.”
