The Saturday Yellow Journal

5:00 AM and Chrissy’s already been working it.
Just some stuff I threw together.
Fidel Assumes Room Temperature

IF HE HAS A SOUL, IT’S ROASTING IN HELL
‘The old man is dead’: Fidel Castro’s death sparks celebrations on streets of Miami
In Miami, where the largest diaspora of Cuban exiles live, news of his death was greeted with celebrations, street parties, and flag waving. Those taking to the streets banged pots and pans and chanted “Cuba Libre!” (Cuba is Free) and “el viejo murió” (the old man is dead).

WashPost: Michelle Obama’s Departure Ends ‘Singular Era for American Fashion’

The piece by Robin Givhan contrasts with the writer’s bashing of the looks of conservative women such as Carly Fiorina, who she mocked as a “style bully.”
Regarding Mrs. Obama, Givhan fawned, “She helped young people see that fashion is more than catwalk extravaganzas and ‘Project Runway.’”

Jill Stein Raises $5 Million…And Says She Can’t “Guarantee” A Recount
HER ENTIRE CAMPAIGN SHE RAISED $3.1M. NOW WE’RE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE SHE RAISED $5M? THIS IS THE CLINTONISTAS IN A BLATANT ATTEMPT AT STEALING AN ELECTION.
We cannot guarantee a recount will happen in any of these states we are targeting. We can only pledge we will demand recounts in those states.
If we raise more than what’s needed, the surplus will also go toward election integrity efforts and to promote voting system reform.

Obama Plans to Rule America Outside the White House
…and he might get away with it.
President Obama is over. He knows that. There are still some things that he can do before he leaves office, but everything except the most destructive, can be undone by his successor. The next phase of his campaign will not be fought from the White House. It will be fought against the White House.
The other Obama is emerging in conference calls with his supporters. “One of the challenges that I’ve discovered being president is I’d like to be organizer-in-chief, but it’s hard,” he said in one call.
Obama can no longer be commander-in-chief. Instead he’s plotting to become organizer-in-chief.

Lands activists urge Trump to revoke Obama’s national monuments

park_s878x659But Obama administration critics say now is the time to try to establish a precedent. They say Mr. Obama has wildly abused presidential power in using the 1906 Antiquities Act to cordon off huge swaths of land and sea — mostly along the West and East coasts — to prevent energy exploration. In total, he has earmarked at least 553 million acres of land and water as national monuments, far more than any other president.
National monument markings prohibit oil and gas drilling and coal mining, meaning Mr. Obama has used his monument authority to effectively shut down huge areas of potential energy exploration and has drawn praise from environmental activists in the process.

Sarah Palin: ‘Grateful to See the Church Step Up’ for Donald Trump Because ‘Eight Years Ago, I Felt They Didn’t’
“No doubt, divine providence played a huge role in this election,” she replied. “I will boldly proclaim that. I saw it first-hand. I was there on the campaign trail. I saw how things were changing. I saw more and more people’s eyes open, and I think so much of that was based on the church in general, those people of faith who were praying to God that people would wake up.”

Obama urged Clinton to concede on Election Night
The source said the final numbers were so close that Clinton might not have placed her call to Trump without a push.
“If anybody knew what actually happened that night, no one would have conceded,” the source said.
But after Obama interceded, Clinton ended any debate.
“Just give me the phone,” she reportedly said in frustration. “I’m calling him.”

America’s Students Are Morons Who Can’t Distinguish Real News From ‘Fake News’
“The researchers asked participating high school students to look at an Imgur.com photo of some mutant-looking daisies with the caption “this is what happens when flowers get nuclear birth defects.” Almost 40 percent of the high schoolers decided that the photo was powerful evidence of nuclear radiation near Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in spite of the fact that the photo actually contained zero evidence suggesting that the daisies were anywhere near the nuclear plant.

Cody Knotts is a film producer in Pennsylvania. He is also a Trump supporter. Cody broke down and cried when he told FOX News about how he felt when he heard Donald Trump won the presidency.

Pentagon to End Gun-Free Zones on Military Bases
President-elect Donald Trump ran on removing gun-free zones from military bases. On July 9, 2015, Breitbart News reported that Trump pledged to end the gun-free scenarios for U.S. troops by “[mandating] that soldiers remain armed and on alert at our military bases.”

Tensions rise at CNN as the network aims for Trump
“CNN has always pledged to hold Trump accountable and that’s what we should be doing,” another source told the Examiner. “Since the election, CNN has out MSNBCed MSNBC,” the source said, referring to the liberal slant at CNN’s competitor. “In the long term, that’s a dangerous place to be.”

A Millennial Speaks Out

“The majority of rhetoric going around says that if you’re white, you have an inherent advantage in life. I would argue that, at least for the members of these small impoverished communities, their whiteness only harms them as it keeps their immense struggles out of the public eye.

“Rural Americans suffer from a poverty rate that is 3 points higher than the poverty rate found in urban America. In Southern regions, like Appalachia, the poverty rate jumps to 8 points higher than those found in cities. One fifth of the children living in poverty live rural areas. The children in this ‘forgotten fifth’ are more likely to live in extreme poverty and live in poverty longer than their urban counterparts. 57% of these children are white.”

The rest of this viral blog post is worth your time!

They Never Saw It Coming

LIBERALS: REDEFINING BUTTHURT SINCE 2016

We’ve all seen it. The pattern is familiar. The Republicans get control of the House or the Senate after playing the role of scapegoat and being bullied by the Democrats, and the first thing they do is give up their advantage to show the media they’re not really bad guys. It’s so frustrating to expect them to do what they say they’re going to do, then wimp out.

Folks, it looks like there’s a new sheriff in town. All the big muckety-mucks in broadcasting met with president-elect Trump (I still love typing that) and thought it was going to be the same old backslapping party they’re so used to. They thought wrong.

TRUMP TOWER LOBBY CAM Captures Media Hacks Exiting Trump’s Boardroom Thrashing
Just when you thought you could NOT Love Donald Trump anymore than you already do…
Donald Trump invited top liberal media hacks to Trump Tower for a special meeting.
They thought they were going to discuss media access and enjoy lunch.
Boy were they wrong!
It was a “f*cking firing squad.”
Trump brought them into a boardroom and then unloaded.

ORCA’S GALPAL, GAYLE KING

WOLF BLITZED


Look at these smiling hacks before the meeting!
They thought they were getting a free lunch.
Trump started with [CNN chief] Jeff Zucker and said ‘I hate your network, everyone at CNN is a liar and you should be ashamed,’ ” the source said.
Trump kept saying, ‘We’re in a room of liars, the deceitful dishonest media who got it all wrong.’ He addressed everyone in the room calling the media dishonest, deceitful liars. He called out Jeff Zucker by name and said everyone at CNN was a liar, and CNN was [a] network of liars,” the source said.
“Trump didn’t say [NBC reporter] Katy Tur by name, but talked about an NBC female correspondent who got it wrong, then he referred to a horrible network correspondent who cried when Hillary lost who hosted a debate – which was Martha Raddatz who was also in the room.”
The stunned reporters tried to get a word in edgewise to discuss access to a Trump Administration.
“[CBS Good Morning co-host Gayle] King did not stand up, but asked some question, ‘How do you propose we the media work with you?’ Chuck Todd asked some pretty pointed questions. David Muir asked ‘How are you going to cope living in DC while your family is in NYC? It was a horrible meeting.”
Trump spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway told reporters the gathering went well.
The hour-long session included top execs from network and cable news channels. Among the attendees were NBC’s Deborah Turness, Lester Holt and Chuck Todd, ABC’s James Goldston, George Stephanopoulos, David Muir, and Martha Raddatz. Also, CBS’ Norah O’Donnell John Dickerson, Charlie Rose, Christopher Isham and King, Fox News’ Bill Shine, Jack Abernethy, Jay Wallace, Suzanne Scott, MSNBC’s Phil Griffin and CNN’s Jeff Zucker and Erin Burnett.

CONSPICUOUSLY ABSENT (PROBABLY WASN’T INVITED) WAS TINGLES MATTHEWS. THERE’S PROBABLY A REASON.
Matthews: ‘Dog-Train Trump—If He Poops in Hall, His Nose Goes in It’
Imagine if just after the 2008 election, a conservative pundit had said this of President-elect Obama: “how do you dog-train Obama? I mean it tough. Dog train. If he poops in the hall, you make his nose go in it.” Western civilization as we know it might have ended right there.
But on this evening’s Hardball, that’s precisely what Chris Matthews said—except about Donald Trump, of course. His point seemed to be that Trump must be brought to heel should he have the audacity to follow through on his promises to build the wall and end Obamacare.

Kellyanne Conway: ‘Election Results Very Hard to Swallow’ for MSM
On With All Due Respect, John Heilemann was aggressively questioning Kellayanne Conway, arguing that conflicts of interests would arise when the Trump administration makes decisions that could affect Trump business interests at home or abroad.
Conway eventually had enough. She shot back: “Look, John, I know the election results are very tough to swallow, particularly for those of you who just couldn’t see it coming, couldn’t even conceive of the possibility that the other candidate may actually win, that you don’t understand America.” Ouch.

Better Get Used To It

If you are a normal, well-adjusted human being without deep-seated emotional problems, including feelings of inferiority, rejection, ridicule and your first impulse is to strike out at others with extreme violence you may have a hard time understanding the depth of the venom that runs through the veins of the leftists.

They have a big hole in the middle of themselves that cannot be filled, no matter how much pain they cause. An army of spoiled nincompoops that have never had to face failure in a society where everybody gets a prize just for competing. If you think the assault on Trump, conservatives and anyone remotely associated with them are ever going to abate you misunderestimate the enemy.

It started its 8 year run the moment Trump won the election and is only going to get worse. At least we now we are rid of the poser that has polluted the People’s House and can finally get something positive passed. Not that we’ll get any credit for it, that’s just a fantasy. No republican has ever been credited with anything, thanks to the enslaved press who do the democrats’ bidding.

Donna Brazile Calls For Senate To Reject Sessions’ Confirmation As AG
“Mr. Trump’s choice of Sen. Sessions for Attorney General is deeply troubling,” Brazile said in a statement. “His demonstrated disdain for the rights of ordinary Americans, his history of discrimination and pattern of racist behavior make him unfit to serve as the next Attorney General. I call on members of the United States Senate to reject his nomination.”
DONNA: KINDLY SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP

ADDED by CtH:  Pro-Abortion Democrats like Brazile are the true racists.black-deaths-since-1973blackgenocide.org/black.html

Dear Lefties, Spawn Of Satan Jeff Sessions Actually Took On The KKK and Desegregated Schools (And Supported Eric Holder’s AG Nomination)

THE TRUTH RARELY FITS THEIR NARRATIVE

Folks, as I’m sure you already know, we’re all racists, misogynists, homophobes, and islamophobes because we don’t kowtow to the progressive authoritarian ethos of the culture wars. And Middle America has had enough of it too, evident with voters in the Rust Belt ignoring Clinton’s attacks against Trump’s remarks he’s made over the 2016 cycle. The liberal bubbles were teeming with Trump hate, but the rest of the country shrugged. With Sessions officially selected to be out next attorney general, the accusations of racism from his 1986 nomination to a federal judgeship are being rehashed, despite zero concrete evidence showing that Sessions harbors such feelings.

ANGRY, BITTER LIBERALS Boo Mike Pence at Hamilton – Actors Insult Him From Stage


THIS IS JUST SICKENING

Then at the close of the performance the lead actor Brandon Dixon insulted the vice president-elect.  “Vice President elect Pence we welcome you and we truly thank you for joining us here at Hamilton the American musical. We really do. We sir, we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us.”

Seriously?

The lead actor directed lines at Pence saying the new administration “will not welcome them.”

‘Apologize!’: Trump hits ‘Hamilton’ cast for confronting Pence

“Vice President-elect Pence, I see you walking out, but I hope you will hear us, just a few more moments. There’s nothing to boo here, ladies and gentlemen,” actor Brandon Victor Dixon said.

He then read a statement reportedly drafted by Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of “Hamilton,” with input from cast members. The statement emphasized the diversity of the show’s actors and their broad concerns about the Trump administration:

Vice President-elect Pence, we welcome you, and we truly thank you for joining us here at ‘Hamilton: An American Musical’ — we really do. We sir — we — are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights, sir.

Electors Across The Country Continue To Be Harassed, Even Threatened By Hillary Supporters

“It is total harassment,” said Graham, who estimates he has received about 1,700 such emails and letters. “It started about a week ago. Now? Bam. It’s hardcore.”…

Sharon Geise, an elector from Mesa, said the emails have also flooded her inbox. She estimates she has received 8,000. Many of them are similar.

Pentagon and intelligence community chiefs have urged Obama to remove the head of the NSA

The news comes as Rogers is being considered by President-Elect Donald Trump to be his nominee for DNI, replacing Clapper as the official who oversees all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies. In a move apparently unprecedented for a military officer, Rogers, without notifying superiors, traveled to New York to meet with Trump on Thursday at Trump Tower.

Love Trumps Hate!!!!
FROM DIANNY AT PATRIOT RETORT

Love Trumps Hate — say these hate-filled, intolerant monsters.

And they wonder why Donald Trump won.

As much as they want the American people to be stupid and cowed, we are neither.

We see the Left for what they are.

Anti-American anarchists who despise this country and its people.

Stop Hating White People and Maybe They’ll Vote for You
It’s either that or the Magical Intersectional Muslim Transwomen Coalition.


“Spare me the euphemisms. White people made Trump president,” a Washington Post headline blared. “White people did this. And maybe (hopefully) not my friends — but certainly their cousins, their uncles, and their friends,” a racist Vox writer shrieked.

“White people elected Donald Trump,” Vice bleated. “White people put Trump in office,” Fusion whined.

‘Integrity is our only true currency’: Designer who dressed Michelle Obama vows NEVER to work with incoming First Lady Melania Trump and urges others to follow her lead

•New York-based French designer Sophie Theallet spoke out against the president-elect Donald Trump in a damning open letter
•Citing the ‘rhetoric of racism, sexism and xenophobia’ of Melania’s husband’s campaign she said she will never work with the new First Lady
•While she is not a household name, Sophie has dressed current First Lady Michelle Obama multiple times as well as reality star Kim Kardashian
•Despite admitting that ‘it is not wise to get involved in politics,’ she said for the label the ‘bottom line is not just about money’
•It is understood that Melania has not asked the designer to dress her

[CtH: BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!  As IF Melania wants or needs clothing advice from anyone who dressed Michelle Obama, EVER.]




WHY WOULD A WOMAN OF GRACE AND CLASS WEAR SOMETHING FROM A HACK THAT LOOKS LIKE HER WARDROBE COMES FROM A MEXICAN UPHOLSTERY SHOP?

Will Sessions pick prompt an Obama pardon for Hillary?

THE CLINTONS’ WORST NIGHTMARE….AN AG WHO’S NOT CORRUPT

CtH: I’d really like an answer to my question.  How would it be possible for Obama to pardon Hillary for a crime she has never been convicted of committing? pardon-clinton-spock-illogical

What this does show, however, is that Sessions wants to get a lot of answers on the Hillary scandals — both on potential criminality and why the DoJ and FBI made the decisions they did. Nor is the e-mail scandal the only Clinton issue on which Sessions has demanded answers. In August, Sessions told Alyson Camerota on CNN’s New Day that he wanted a special prosecutor appointed to investigate pay-to-play allegations about the Clinton Foundation and the State Department

Toni Morrison on the Election: ‘The Sad Plight of Grown White Men’

THERE SHOULD BE A LAW AGAINST PEOPLE WITH GRAY HAIR WEARING DREADLOCKS

In the piece, Morrison writes that the election of Donald Trump to the presidency is part of a reaction by white men to an increasingly multicultural society.

“Under slave laws,” Morrison writes, “the necessity for color rankings was obvious, but in America today, post-civil-rights legislation, white people’s conviction of their natural superiority is being lost. Rapidly lost. There are ‘people of color’ everywhere, threatening to erase this long-understood definition of America. And what then? Another black President? A predominantly black Senate? Three black Supreme Court Justices? The threat is frightening.”

[CtH: This crap is getting really, really old.  White America elected Barack Obama twice.  We did not elect Hillary Clinton, who HELLO is WHITE.  Morons.]

As Trump Rises, So Do Some Hands Waving Confederate Battle Flags

But now that explosive and complicated vestige of the Old South is back, in a new — and, to some Americans, newly disturbing — context. During President-elect Donald J. Trump’s campaign, followers drawn to his rallies occasionally displayed the flag and other Confederate iconography. Since the election, his supporters and others have displayed the flag as a kind of rejoinder to anti-Trump protesters in places such as Durango, Colo.; St. Petersburg, Fla.; Hampton, Va.; Fort Worth; and Traverse City, Mich.

The Age of the Honey Badger Dawns

For the first 24 hours, they had total control of the debate, and near-total control after that. They defined Bannon, and Breitbart, as antisemites, white nationalists, neo-Nazis. Who could survive that?

And yet Trump did not waver, and the Republican Party did not bend, and the conservative media did not break.

This time, there were no betrayals — no political leaders who tried to help themselves by abandoning the victim of an entirely false and unjustified attack.

Even most of Bannon’s critics and rivals in the conservative media declined to condemn him.

They understood: these were lies. And they knew: if we yield now, they will never stop.

Father Of Slain California Soldier Says Airline Passengers Booed Him On Flight Home

The father of a slain Stockton soldier is speaking out after he says his family was booed on the flight to bring his son’s body home from Afghanistan.
Sgt. John Perry died on Saturday in Afghanistan by a suicide bomber.

HE STOPPED THE SUICIDE MADMAN FROM REACHING A 5k RUN WHERE HE COULD HAVE KILLED MANY MORE

Trump Takes Charge

The liberal hysteria over Donald Trump’s election as president extends to coverage of his transition. “Firings and Discord Put Trump Transition Team in a State of Disarray,” says the New York Times. “Intraparty fratricide looms over the GOP,” says a columnist for the Washington Post. “The GOP Civil War Is Just Beginning,” says a writer for Slate.

Tucker Carlson DESTROYS Lib Hack Who Smeared Jeff Sessions as Racist

THIS FAT TUB OF GOO IS JONATHON ALLEN
HE WRITES LIES FOR (JELLY) ROLL CALL
HE KEEPS HIS CHIN HIDDEN BEHIND A THICK LAYER OF FAT
HE CALLS SESSIONS A RACIST 9 TIMES IN HIS HIT PIECE… CLAIMS HE NEVER CALLED HIM A RACIST

Carlson started off the interview calling Allen’s article, “one of the most unfair things I’ve ever read,” and it went downhill from there.

Nikki Haley: Trump Won Despite Republican Officials, Not Because Of Them

The President-elect deserves tremendous credit for the way he was able to connect with the electorate, but he did not do it by celebrating the Republican Party, and the American people did not vote for him because he had an R next to his name.”

“He ran against both parties, against the political system at large, a system he argued was fundamentally broken, a notion voters subscribed to in massive numbers,” Haley added. “They’ve rejected the political class of all stripes, Republicans included, and we have no one to blame but ourselves.”

ISN’T IT CURIOUS HOW WINNING CREATES CONVERTS?

Pittsburg, CA Police: High School Principal Chanted, Led Cheers During School’s Violent Anti-Trump Walkout Protest

Not only are the kids walking out of school to protest Donald Trump’s historic victory, but their teachers and principals are protesting too!  At least three students were arrested during the protest for criminal activity.


BEHOLD WHAT THE TEACHERS’ UNION HATH WROUGHT

This incident was anything but peaceful and involved more students than the small number of students the district claims.

In reality, students from your district engaged in criminal activity including vandalism, knocking over garbage cans, trespassing and attempting to incite students at Antioch High School and assaulting a police officer. All of this occurred in the presence of Pittsburg High School Principal Whitmire.

According to the article in the EastBayTimes dated November 11, Mr. Whitmire expressed that he continually–Quote—exonerated them to return to class—unquote—but when they didn’t he joined their march.

Dem: Trump should consider Clinton for UN ambassador

SHE NEEDS THE MONEY

President-elect Trump should consider her for the position,” said Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), whose district includes Trump Tower in Manhattan. She added that Clinton “would make an excellent Ambassador to the United Nations.”
Clinton “will never stop working,” Maloney said. “She will always make a difference and will always be a part of the dialogue in a positive way to advance the values of America.”

Morgan to millennials: Stop whining!

What a crazy year this has been! The Chicago Cubs won the World Series, the Brits voted to leave the European Union, American voters finally Just Said No to the Clinton Crime Family… and now, perhaps most shocking of all, Piers Morgan — yes, Musket Morgan! — has actually said something that made sense. I would have thought they’d be holding the Winter Olympics in hell before I’d read something like this from Piers Morgan:

Cheer up, American millennials!

I mean, seriously, CHEER THE **** UP!

Oh, I know you’ve had a rough week ever since Donald Trump won the election.

But it’s time to get a grip.

STOP crying.

STOP taking personal days off work to ‘process’ what happened.

STOP huddling with your equally distraught buddies in Starbucks over your Venti Iced White Chocolate Mocha.

STOP howling away on social media about how unfair life is and how it’s the end of the planet as we know it.

STOP updating the exact number Hillary won the popular vote by, because it doesn’t bloody matter.

STOP marching around screaming your fury at the result when many of you couldn’t even bothered to vote.

STOP retweeting all your favourite celebrities’ own outbursts of pique, rage and anguish.

STOP demanding the Electoral College reverse the decision in December.

In short, STOP being such a faux-tormented bunch of absolutely deluded cretins.

Want to know why Trump is going to be your next president?

It’s because he is what’s called a ‘winner’.

I know it’s not ‘cool’ to be a winner these days.

It’s become an ugly, dirty word in your PC-crazed universe.

Far better, the social media millennial mob cries, to be a gallant loser who tries their best but comes up short — like Bernie, or now Hillary.

To which I say: bulls**t.

If you don’t strive to be the very best at whatever you do, however big or small, then what’s the point in doing it, or frankly even being alive?

Why wallow in self-induced mediocrity?

Yet that is precisely where so many of America’s 80 million millennials enjoy wallowing, and as a result they have become the most pampered, privileged and selfish members of the human race in history.

Where’s my evidence for such a shocking assertion?

Try the National Institutes of Health, which reported that 40% of millennials believe they should be promoted every two years regardless of performance, and are so fame obsessed that three times as many middle school girls now want to grow up to be the PA to a talentless celebrity like Kim Kardashian as want to be a senator.

(Hardly surprising therefore that 77% of millennials can’t even name a senator from their home state…)

Oh, and 80% of millennials say they’ll be richer than their parents, yet more of them live with their parents than with a spouse, still take cash off their parents, and work half as hard.

The tragic truth is that America’s millennials are a bunch of phone-addicted, selfie-obsessed, hashtagging, snapchatting, kale-munching, twerking, lazy, whining, ill-informed, politically correct, cossetted narcissists who find absolutely everything mortally offensive and believe there are 165 ways to sexually identify.

They don’t understand the concept of ‘losing’ because they’ve never had to experience it.

At school, to avoid any ‘low self-esteem issues’, they were all given endless ‘Participation Prizes’.

What possible pleasure can there be in ‘winning’ a prize for just turning up? What incentive is there to compete in anything if you’re going to ‘win’ anyway?

Participation prizes converted a whole new generation into people with no understanding of what genuine competition actually means.This, coupled with the advent of social media technology that allowed them to post relentless ‘filtered’ images of themselves, led to staggeringly self-absorbed figments of their own perfection.

The combined effect of these two things has been to create a deep-rooted sense of entitlement that manifested itself in a breakdown of biblical proportions when Trump triumphed last Wednesday.

Well, welcome to the real world, my delicate little Instagrammed snowflakes.

This is how democracy works…

You all have a chance to vote…

Someone wins, someone loses…

To the winner of a US presidential election goes all the spoils of being the most powerful person on earth…

To the loser, no gold stars for effort.

Read the rest here.

An Open Letter To Liberals

YOU NEVER SAW IT COMING
For decades you’ve had everything your own way.You never had to work for anything.Don’t know what sacrifice is.You’ve been taught nothing is your fault.You’re a victim.Blame everybody else.Whatever you have,it’s never enough.Whether it’s daddy’s trust fund or a welfare check it’s not free.Somebody else paid for it.You elected ‘the first black president’ by voting for a biracial extremist Muslim that you didn’t know anything about,just the fact he was dark enough to be called black.
In sweeping to power he stepped over the heir-apparent,former first lady,senator,liar,enabler and queen wanna-be,Hillary Clinton.She waited eight long years for her turn to come.To make sure he got his second term she allowed 4 Americans to be butchered then lied about it for 6 weeks until after the election was over.
Her turn finally came.She had everything on her side.The press did her dirty work,her primary was rigged from the beginning,the White House,DOJ,FBI and State Department all joined together to protect her from prosecution for the myriad felonies she had committed.Once she was elected it would all go away.You would get open borders,you’d have a Supreme Court with a liberal majority for 30 years and somebody else would continue paying for your free stuff.The media even did its part to make sure Donald Trump,the media buffoon was the republican candidate so they could tear him to shreds for her.
But then something happened.Trump was not everybody’s first choice.He certainly wasn’t mine.but the thought of the disaster that would befall our nation under continued democrat rule was more than terrible to contemplate.You see,between the upper East side of Manhattan and the posh mansions of Beverly Hills lies a country.it’s referred to derisively as “flyover country.”The landscape is dotted with big city hellholes,all run by democrats.Drugs,crime and corruption rule in these decaying centers of despair.
Go 100 miles outside of any of these cities and you’ll find another America.You don’t understand us and never will.You think we’re all ignorant,backwoods hicks because all we want is to be left alone to raise our kids and live the way we choose without government interference.We go to county fairs and flea markets.When our high school teams go to state tournament we decorate the town with signs of encouragement.When misfortune befalls us,we don’t sit and whine with our hands out waiting for somebody else to help us.We do it ourselves.We don’t raise hell when things don’t go the way we want.We accept things for what they are and move on.
We get called everything your narrow minds can think of.Racist,bigot,homophobe,xenophobe.Anti-immigrant,anti-abortion,extremists.We’re told we can’t fly Old Glory because somebody might be offended.When some malcontent decides to walk on the flag or wipe their ass with it we’re told it’s free speech.A helluva lot more of us,our parents and grandparents sacrificed everything to defend that flag.Militant gays seek out Christian businessmen to force them to participate in things we view as a sin in the eyes of God.When they don’t,they get sued and lose everything they have.We’re forced to allow our 12 year old daughters to share a bathroom with a 50 year old man in a dress. homosexuals scream to stay out of their bedrooms then close off streets and have parades to show us what they do.
We’ve been forced to stand by and could do nothing.This last election was the culmination of the anger and frustration 66 million of us have had to hold inside,knowing there was nothing we could do.You could see at every rally the energy borne of this frustration building to a gigantic outburst.Last Tuesday the day of reckoning had arrived.We’d been mocked,ignored and persecuted long enough.It’s the one day every four years when our voice can be heard.And we WERE heard.
You didn’t get your own way,so the next day the protests began.Like a bunch of sheep you followed the Judas Goats bought and paid for by the most despicable human on the planet,George Soros.You demand we do away with the Electoral College because your girl won the popular vote.What you can’t get through your tiny skulls is that the Founding Fathers were prescient enough to anticipate something like this so the Constitution was written to prevent mob tyranny.
Listen,buttercup,you don’t have any right to demand anything.You don’t work,you don’t pay taxes,the people who wear uniforms and carry weapons,the people you enjoy denigrating are the ones who afford you the opportunity to voice your opinion,useless,though,it may be.You stood in the road waving your Mexican and ISIS flags,feeling like you were a big deal.
YOU NEVER SAW IT COMING

Collapse: Democratic Insider Says Clinton Lost White Rural Voters By A Three-to-One Margin
There’s been a sense that Democrats could largely write off the rural vote, as rural voters have left the party because the exodus was offset by demographic growth among urban and nonwhite voters, among others, said Tom Bonier, CEO of Target Smart, a Democratic data and polling firm.

NPR: Too Many Democrats Focus On The Cities And They’ll Be Left Out In The Cold If That Remains
It’s not only bad timing and gerrymandering that have hollowed out the Democratic Party. Mo Elleithee, a former Democratic National Committee official, says Democrats have never put enough effort and resources into state legislative races. Republicans, on the other hand, make those races a top priority.
Too many Democrats live in cities

SR 1345 – Anti-Trump Protesters Paid $35 Per Hour

Awful… OBAMA Warns Against Rise of “Nationalism” – America First is Dangerous
Obama: We have to guard against a rise in a crude sort of nationalism or ethnic identity or tribalism that is built around an us and a them. And I will never apologize for saying that the future of humanity and the future of the world is going to be defined by what we have in common as opposed to those things that separate us and ultimately lead us into conflict.

This is the same guy that supports and cheers the Black Lives Matter terrorist movement.

Krauthammer: Obama Will Be Seen As Someone Who ‘Destroyed His Presidency With Liberal Overreach’

Krauthammer concluded, “[H]istorians are going to see him as a textbook definition of a guy who won on hope and change, who won with a wave of goodwill, and who completely destroyed his presidency with liberal overreach, beginning with Obamacare. And this is a rejection of ideology.” He further warned that if the Democratic Party goes further left, it won’t survive.

Eric Holder on Trump Win: ‘I Have to Think That at Least Part of It Though Was Decisions Made in My Justice Department’
“I have to think that at least part of it though was decisions made in my Justice Department that had at least some impact. I can’t quantify it, but I think it had some impact,” Holder said.
In an interview with Maher, Holder said he was more relaxed because he wasn’t “carrying a bunch” of Republicans on his shoulders beating him up.
“You did a hell of a job, and they didn’t make it easy for you,” Maher said.

Majority of Trump Voters Were Impacted by ‘Religious Liberty’ and ‘Unborn Human Life’ Concerns
“It was the party platform that brokered the deal between Trump and Christian conservatives — a deal that was sealed in the final debate when Trump vividly described a partial-birth abortion and pledged to appoint pro-life justices,” he concluded. “The Republican Party platform played a key role in bringing Christian conservatives and Trump together.”
The survey also found that two-thirds (66 percent) of surveyed voters overall agreed that “government should leave people free to follow their beliefs about marriage between one man and one woman as they live their daily lives at work and in the way they run their businesses.”
DONALD TRUMP WON A WHOPPING 81% OF WHITE CHRISTIANS

Afternoon Delight

Starland Vocal Band had their one and only hit in 1976. At the time it was almost scandalous. Just think, adults exchanging bodily fluids before supper. And in front of the dog! The cat acted aloof and couldn’t care less.

Republicans Stole the Supreme Court
Democrats, don’t let them get away with it.
SLATE MAGAZINE STILL SUFFERING FIT OF APOPLEXY. THIS WILL LAST AWHILE.
We are told to give him a chance, to reach across the aisle, and that we must all work hard, in President Obama’s formulation, to make sure that Trump succeeds. But before you decide to take Obama’s advice, I would implore you to stand firm and even angry on this one point at least: The current Supreme Court vacancy is not Trump’s to fill. This was President Obama’s vacancy and President Obama’s nomination. Please don’t tacitly give up on it because it was stolen by unprecedented obstruction and contempt. Instead, do to them what they have done to us. Sometimes, when they go low, we need to go lower, to protect a thing of great value.

Vets group wants Congress to wait for Trump to pass more aggressive VA reform bill
A massive veterans reform bill backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs will face resistance in Congress’ lame-duck session starting Tuesday from a group intent on letting the new Republican-controlled Senate and President-Elect Donald Trump have a say in how expeditiously VA employees can be fired.
With only a couple of months left as VA Secretary, Bob McDonald is making one final appeal to Congress to pass the reform bill that’s the culmination of his two-year tenure. The 400-page Veterans First Act contains dozens of provisions to streamline the appeals process for disability compensation, allow more leeway in disciplining employees and grant VA medical staff the ability to work flexible hours, among other things.

Obama’s looking forward to a vacation after the White House
POOR GUY NEEDS SOME REST. THREE WEEK VACATIONS IN HAWAII, 300+ ROUNDS OF GOLF, HANDING AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY OVER TO THE U.N., IT’S ALL BACKBREAKING WORK.
President Obama’s first executive action after leaving the White House will be to take some R&R.
“I will take a vacation for a couple weeks after my presidency is over,” he told Democratic National Committee stakeholders in a conference call Monday evening, without specifying a location.
“But then we’re going to get back to work,” he added.

Conway: ‘I Completely Agree’ With Obama That Trump Is Pragmatic and Not Ideological

At his first news conference since Trump’s defeat of Hillary Clinton, Obama addressed the transition process and what he expects from his successor on Monday.
“I don’t think he is ideological. I think ultimately he is pragmatic,” Obama said. “And that can serve him well, as long as he’s got good people around him.”
Conway said she “completely” agreed with that description from Obama when asked about it by Today host Savannah Guthrie.

An Arrogant and Lazy Presidency
It’s safe to say that there has rarely, if ever, been a president more absolutely sure of the utter and total correctness of his positions than Barack Obama.
It is also quite accurate to say that there has never been a president who implemented such fundamentally impactful policies while circumventing the usual legislative process as Barack Obama. No president has ever announced that he has “a pen and a phone, and I intend to use them if Congress won’t act.”

Carpe Diem, Mr. Trump
cwy9kvnukaa-3exFROM ONE OF MY FAVORITE WRITERS,VDH
While we speak, a jealous age will have fled. Seize the day! Trust as little as you can in tomorrow. The Latin poet Horace’s advice of carpe diem— to seize the day and not worry about tomorrow — should be Trump’s transitional guide.

Steve Bannon and Keith Ellison: Do the Democrats Really Care About Anti-Semitism?
The record is clear.
President-elect Trump has enraged the establishment media by choosing Steven K. Bannon as his chief strategist, because Bannon, they claim on the flimsiest of evidence, is a white supremacist and an anti-Semite. Meanwhile, that same media is hailing Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) for announcing his candidacy for Chairman of the Democratic National Committee – despite Ellison’s very real links to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, two groups that are outdone by no one in anti-Semitism.

Donald Trump’s granddaughter a viral sensation in China
(CNN) — She’s just five years old but might just be Donald Trump’s biggest diplomatic win in China.
A video of Trump’s granddaughter Arabella Kushner reciting Chinese poetry is being shared across the country.
During his bid for the US presidency, Trump had nothing but tough talk for Beijing.
But the little girl’s command of Mandarin is being interpreted by some as a hidden sign of Trump’s affinity with the country.
In the video, Arabella is wearing a red Chinese style ball gown standing on a table. Other traditional Chinese elements — the Chinese character for happiness, lanterns and Monkey stickers — are visible in the background.

Election results give momentum to worker freedom
Does a Trump presidency mean public employees across the country will be freed from being forced to pay government unions against their will?
If Trump nominates one of the roughly two dozen people he pledged to consider to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia, it’s likely public employees nationwide would earn freedom from being forced to support politics they disagree with.

To Democrats’ Dismay, Trump Will Inherit Obama’s Expanded Presidential Powers
With a new president much loathed by the mainstream media and progressive elites, it shouldn’t be very long until we start hearing about the dangers of the “imperial presidency.” Where were they, we wonder, during the Obama years?
It’s quite an irony that the one whom many on the left said they couldn’t stomach as president should become president and inherit a whole panoply of new presidential powers that President Obama used and no one other than conservatives objected to. Because now, a President Trump can use the same powers.

Why Did Trump Win? Obama
e7zv9zkDonald Trump’s upset victory is being attributed to many factors, from Hillary Clinton being a corrupt and flawed candidate to the rise of the angry white male. Never mind that Trump secured more white women support than did Clinton. Maybe it was due to the FBI investigations and Director Comey’s schizophrenic opening and closing the investigations.
What really gave Trump his victory is one person: Barack Obama. This election was nothing less than a complete and total repudiation of his presidency, his policies, his “fundamental transformation of America” that he promised and delivered.

Already said what I wanted to say in the last thread. This is just to keep anybody around informed and educated. No charge.

Suicide prevention hotlines see shocking spike in calls after Trump’s win: ‘We’ve never seen this before’
A record number of anguished calls flooded suicide prevention hotlines just before and after Donald Trump secured his shocking presidential victory.
The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline received 660 calls between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. Wednesday — 2½ times the average.
“It clearly is and was an indication that there’s a lot of anxiety and fear around the election,” director John Draper told the Daily News.

Obama’s Legacy: The Total Destruction Of The Democratic Party
As the Democratic Party enters a long, lonely road out of power, it should be a lesson and a warning to Republicans. Never build a party apparatus and voter coalition so firmly behind a single, term-limited president. It’s dubious as to whether a successor can keep that winning coalition in place. For Clinton, she failed. In the end, Trump was expected to torpedo GOP gains; that didn’t happen. And Barack Obama will have to watch hopelessly as congressional Republicans–now working with a Trump White House–will undo most of his signature domestic achievements.
Thank God.

DNC Prepares To Elevate Muslim Congressman Ellison To Chief
THEY JUST DON’T GET IT.
If you thought the Democrats would respond to Donald Trump’s stunning victory in the 2016 presidential election by attempting to woo back some of the white blue-collar voters they lost over the last eight years, you’re sadly mistaken: they’ll be doubling down on the Obama coalition.
The proof: on Friday, support built dramatically among Democratic insiders like incoming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) as head of the Democratic National Committee.

Mike Pence Emerging as a Commanding Figure in Trump Administration
Given the dearth of hands-on Washington experience in the inner circle of President-elect Donald J. Trump, Mr. Pence, a former Republican congressman, is emerging as a commanding figure in the administration taking shape as well as the chief conduit between Capitol Hill and the White House.
“My guess is he will be one of the most involved, day-to-day, managerial vice presidents in the history of the republic,” said Representative Jeb Hensarling, a senior Republican from Texas and a close ally from Mr. Pence’s days on Capitol Hill.

Black Trump Supporter’s ‘Apology’ To Liberals Is Laugh-Out-Loud Hilarious

UN chief confident Trump will drop rhetoric, show leadership
DON’T COUNT ON IT
United Nations (United States) (AFP) – UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon voiced confidence on Friday that Donald Trump will shed the strident rhetoric that propelled him to the White House and engage with the world to confront global crises like climate change.

‘She Couldn’t Stop Crying’: Hillary Clinton Was ‘Inconsolable’ After Losing The Election To Donald Trump
Her life-long dream of total and complete power was shattered for the second and final time. I can’t find one molecule of sympathy for her. Off to the dustbin.

CNN: Tea Party Patriots Warn Against Priebus for Chief of Staff
“No Washington insider, regardless of who it is, should serve as President Trump’s chief of staff,” Martin said. “Appointing Reince Priebus (or any other DC establishment insider) would make it more difficult, not less, for President Trump to achieve the change the people voted for. It’s time to drain the swamp — not promote insiders beholden to the Washington establishment who helped create it.”

Trump Won Because ‘Racism’? NO, YOU IDIOT!! | Louder With Crowder

Bill Maher asks President-elect Trump to appear on his show
WHY WOULD THE PRESIDENT GIVE A FOUL-MOUTHED, TWO-BIT PUNK LIKE YOU THE TIME OF DAY?
“I want to take this opportunity right now to invite him on this show. … He won. He ran a vicious, vulgar campaign and I gave it back exactly in measure,” the political comedian said. “I was also vicious and vulgar but he won and he did it his way. Nobody gets to sing that song more than Donald Trump.”

Obama’s ‘legacy’ drive lost Florida for Clinton
“Pride goeth before destruction,” Proverbs 16:18 reminds us, and so it was in this election.
The evidence is mounting that President Obama’s overzealous defense of his “opening Cuba” gambit cost Hillary Clinton the state of Florida. That misstep could end up wiping out most of the president’s carefully curated “legacy” achievements.
Then in late October, President Obama went for broke and decided to stick a bigger needle in his opponents’ eye.
He lifted limits on the import of cigars and rum, and then ordered our ambassador to the United Nations to abstain from a vote condemning the US economic embargo on Cuba

SF bracing in case Trump cuts federal funds over sanctuary status
Mayor Ed Lee and San Francisco politicians are bracing for what President-elect Donald Trump lists as one of his main priorities: blocking “all federal funding” for sanctuary cities.
Of that money, $478 million comes directly from the federal government. The balance comes from the federal government via the state of California. The city’s current budget is $9.6 billion.
City officials are making contingency plans in case that money disappears.

Who’s Laughing Now? — This Compilation Of The Media S**t Talking Trump Is The Cherry On Top

Grannyism: If a bullfrog had wings he wouldn’t bump his ass
Trump won Pennsylvania, with its 20 electoral college votes, by 68,236 votes, Wisconsin, with its 10 electoral college votes, by 27,257 votes, and Michigan, with its 16 electoral college votes, by 13,107 votes.
Had those 108,600 votes gone to Hillary Clinton, she would have won the presidency with a a 278 to 260 electoral college victory over Trump.

Cherry Picking in November

Still so much left to sift through. What a week it’s been. Here are some things that I thought you might enjoy.

Back to the future: Howard Dean to run for DNC chairman
howarddean
THE DEMOCRATS KEEP RECYCLING THEIR OLD LOSERS.
‘REJOICE FOR THE SCREAMER LIVETH’….(THAT’S CALLED A PLAY ON WORDS)
Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, who led the DNC from 2005 to 2009, said Thursday via Twitter that he wants the job back when current interim chief Donna Brazile leaves in spring.
“The dems need organization and focus on the young. Need a fifty State strategy and tech rehab. I am in for chairman again,” he tweeted.

‘Melania liked Mrs. O a lot’: First Lady’s tea with her successor is kept behind closed doors (despite warm public welcome Bushes gave the Obamas) and photo is only released after media pressure
Michelle Obama met her successor this afternoon, greeting Melania Trump at the White House when she arrived and hosting her for tea
Press were barred from covering the visit that coincided with their husbands’ 90-minute meeting in the Oval Office
The Trumps arrived at the White House via a private entrance on the south side of the building. They left the same way they came
A photo of the women chatting popped up online hours later, after the White House was pressured to release it
In 2008 President George W. Bush and his wife Laura eagerly greeted the Obamas on the South Lawn – and reporters were allowed to cover it
I’D BET MONEY THAT MELANIA WAS GRACIOUS AND FRIENDLY AND THE GHETTO TRASH WANTED TO CLAW HER EYES OUT
WHAT STRUCK ME WAS THAT ALL THESE DESIGNERS MADE CLOTHES FOR MOOCH IN SIZE XXXL;MELANIA COULD MAKE SACKCLOTH LOOK STUNNING

Chelsea Clinton being groomed to run for Congress
SHE’S EVERY BIT AS QUALIFIED AS HER MOTHER
GREEDY: CHECK
ARROGANT: CHECK
PATHETIC LIAR: CHECK
UGLY AS HELL: CHECK
LIVING OFF SLICK WILLY’S REPUTATION: CHECK
Chelsea could run for the seat in NYC’s 17th Congressional District once Lowey, a respected, 79-year-old career politician with nearly 30 years in office, decides to retire, we have exclusively learned.
Lowey’s district includes parts of Rockland and Westchester counties and, conveniently, Chappaqua, the Clinton family home base
SHE COMES FROM A LONG LINE OF CARPETBAGGERS

Experts Question If Clinton Foundation Will Survive

WHEN, OH WHEN WILL WE BE RID OF THIS NEST OF VERMIN?
The months ahead could determine what kind of future, if any, the Clinton Foundation can have as Congress and the new administration of President-elect Donald Trump take what is certain to be a tough look the ethical and legal issues that have swirled for years around the troubled charity

Memo to Trump: Exploit your win!
The protests, riots and violence that have attended his triumph in city after city should only serve to steel his resolve.
As for promptings that he “reach out” and “reassure” those upset by his victory, and trim or temper his agenda to pacify them, Trump should reject the poisoned chalice. This is the same old con.

A partial agenda: First, he should ignore any importunings by President Obama to permit passage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership in a lame-duck session – and let the trade deal sink by year’s end.

On Jan. 20, he should have vetted and ready to nominate to the high court a brilliant constitutionalist and strict constructionist.
With a new education secretary, he should announce White House intent to work for repeal of Common Core and announce the introduction of legislation to put federal resources behind the charter schools that have proven to be a godsend to inner-city black children.

Trump should announce a date soon for repeal and replacement of Obamacare and introduction of his new tax-and-trade legislation to bring back manufacturing and create American jobs.

Donald Trump said in his campaign that that this is America’s last chance. If we lose this one, he said, we lose the country.
The president-elect should ignore his more cautious counselors and act with the urgency of his declared beliefs.

IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING WHERE DIAMOND AND SILK WERE:
CAN YOU IMAGINE THESE TWO AS PRESS SECRETARY?

Trump Picks Top Climate Skeptic to Lead EPA Transition
Choosing Myron Ebell means Trump plans to drastically reshape climate policies
Ebell is a well-known and polarizing figure in the energy and environment realm. His participation in the EPA transition signals that the Trump team is looking to drastically reshape the climate policies the agency has pursued under the Obama administration. Ebell’s role is likely to infuriate environmentalists and Democrats but buoy critics of Obama’s climate rules.

Mitchell Shocked by Photo of Trump and Obama Together: ‘Good Lord’

“That is the moment, Donald Trump in the Oval Office with President Obama,” Mitchell said.

[CtH: Just a guess here that if this were 2008, she would have said, “President-Elect Obama in the Oval Office with George Bush.”]

She continued to report on the historic moment but let her emotions go and appeared shocked before ending her comments.

“But, good lord, that is an image a lot of people did not expect to see,” Mitchell said.

President-Elect Trump Saluted by Firefighters as He Leaves New York for Meeting with President Obama

President-Elect Donald Trump flew out of New York City’s LaGuardia Airport Thursday morning aboard his private jet Trump Force One. As the plane taxied for takeoff firefighters paid their respects to Trump with a traditional water cannon salute. Nearby, a group of firefighters and officials enthusiastically waved to Trump as the plane rolled by them.

FIRST RESPONDERS WILL BE TREATED A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY UNDER TRUMP
Trump calls slain cop’s widow to offer condolences

OF ALL THE POLICE OFFICERS SLAUGHTERED ON OBAMA’S WATCH HE SENT REPRESENTATIVES TO THE FUNERALS OF THE CRIMINALS BUT NEVER A COP… EVER.

President-elect Donald Trump called slain NYPD Sgt. Paul Tuozzolo’s widow Thursday morning and personally extended his “condolences” to her on the day that thousands of police officers paid tribute to the fallen Finest at his funeral.

“I’m very sorry I cannot be there with you today. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time,” Trump told the grieving woman, according to a source.

“I want to express my condolences from me and my family.”

Tuozzolo, a married father of two, was shot and killed last week by 35-year-old ex-con Manuel Rosales. Tuozzolo had been responding to a report of a break-in.

UAW seeks to join Trump in effort to dismantle NAFTA
For years, the UAW has railed against NAFTA and other free trade agreements while Republicans have generally supported free trade deals. This year, Trump turned Republican politics upside down.

IF HE SIGNS THE XL PIPELINE DEAL, WHICH I THINK HE WILL, HE’LL PUT MORE THAN 30,000 SKILLED UNION TRADES MEN BACK TO WORK.  HE CAN MAKE GREAT INROADS INTO THE MONOLITH THAT IS THE UNION VOTE.

Clinton Couldn’t Win Over White Women
But they split along educational lines.
Throughout these many months, the Clinton team made it clear that they believed her historic candidacy had the potential to sway portions of the electorate, most especially women voters. They were counting in no small part on the support of sisterhood.

But Clinton’s stunning loss Tuesday night showed that issues of culture and class mattered more to many American women than their gender.

Lou Dobbs: If I Were Trump My Hands Would Have Been Clutching at Paul Ryan’s Throat

Donald Trump flew to Washington DC on Thursday to meet with President Obama, Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell

Paul Ryan was a very vocal critic of Donald Trump for the past year. Ryan even pulled his endorsement of Donald Trump a month before the election. If Ryan was not on Hillary’s payroll he should have been.

Tonight Lou Dobbs remarked on Trump’s meeting with anti-Trump Speaker Paul Ryan.

Lou Dobbs: I’ve got to tell you I’m such a base and petty man that if Paul Ryan had done to me what he did to Donald Trump my hands would, without any power to resist it all, would be clutching at his throat. And, I have to say, Donald Trump was very presidential. He actually may be seeking to attain the level of saint here in what he has tolerated.

Mayors of NY and Los Angeles pledge to remain immigrant sanctuaries
Officials in New York and Los Angeles on Thursday said they hoped President-elect Donald Trump would not follow through on a campaign promise to withhold federal funds from “sanctuary cities” that shield people who are in the country illegally.

HE’LL CUT YOUR FUNDING THEN YOU CAN PAY TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE MONGRELS YOURSELVES.

Mom Throws Child Out In Street For Voting For Trump In School Election

Trump’s Transition Team Considers Sarah Palin For Possible Cabinet Spot
WHAT STANDS OUT IS THAT REPUBLICANS HAVE A FAR DEEPER POOL OF TALENT TO PICK FROM BECAUSE MORE OF THEM HAVE REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE ACTUALLY WORKING JOBS BESIDES GETTING ELECTED AND RE-ELECTED.

The Trump campaign is floating the idea of tapping the former Alaskan governor as Trump’s interior secretary. Palin has made no secret about her interest in holding a position in a Trump administration.

“If I were head of that, I’d get rid of it,” Palin said in an interview in September, referring to the Department of Energy. She said abolishing the department would give states greater control of energy policy within their borders.

[CtH: I’d love to see her heading up Energy.  She did wonderful things for the industry in Alaska and really knows her business.]

Canadian Militia Vows To Protect Borders From Illegal Americans

“This ain’t no Mexico border. Illegals will face snow and deadly cold temperatures, notwithstanding dangerous predator attacks from bears, cougars and wolves. If you’re an American crossing the border illegally, your chances of survival are pretty slim ”  – John C. McCaullagh, Militia leader

“Killing illegal citizens is a crime in Canada and we don’t openly encourage violence within our organization, but we can’t prevent members from shooting a few rounds at them just to scare them away. If you accidentally get hit in the knee or in the leg, without medical assistance, you’re a dead man within 2 or 3 days” he warns. “Better alive in the US than dead in Canada. It just ain’t worth the gamble,” he adds.

Top Clinton Adviser: She Didn’t ‘Contemplate Losing’ the White House
A top campaign adviser to Hillary Clinton said the former Democratic nominee “really didn’t contemplate losing” the presidential election to her opponent Donald Trump.  The unnamed adviser told People magazine on Wednesday that campaign staff were unsure of what Clinton would do next.

NY Times Crank: “America Elected a Bigot” – “I Do Not Respect the President-Elect”

New York Times columnist Charles Blow went off on a racist tirade against Donald Trump — who was never accused of being racist until he ran for president as a Republican.

Trump is already working to erase Obama’s legacy from history
HOW MUCH HE CAN OR WILL ACCOMPLISH REMAINS TO BE SEEN

President-elect Donald Trump was surprisingly gracious as he met President Barack Obama in the Oval Office on Thursday but make no mistake: He is already working to erase major parts of Obama’s legacy from the history books.

Trump will be able to change some of Obama’s policies with a quick stroke of the pen. Others will be much more difficult, requiring justification to pass legal hurdles or buy-in from lawmakers on Capitol Hill or foreign leaders.

[CtH: I’m very encouraged by Trump’s behavior here. It points to what I’ve been hoping — i.e., that he is capable of growing into the job, something Obama The Petty never did.]

Life For Our Veterans (And Our Military) Could Be Much Different Soon
I POSTED THIS THIS MORNING. SOMEBODY MUST BE READING OUR LITTLE BLOG.

On both fronts, thankfully, I believe a new era dawns. On the campaign trail, candidate Donald Trump made both rebuilding our military and fixing the VA two of his signature issues.

President-elect Trump is poised to do the same. President-elect Trump has pledged to get rid of the disastrous defense sequester, invest in long-overdue future military technologies, grow the ranks and numbers of ships and aircraft, and repeal stifling rules of engagement that handcuff our troops.

In just a few years, the posture of our military could look much different—ensuring America both deters aggression and can swiftly defeat enemies.

[CtH: I hope this signals better working conditions for my kids.]

Franken: Americans Should Blame Republicans for Rising Obamacare Premiums

ALAS, THERE’S ALWAYS A SKUNK TO STINK THINGS UP

“The people they should be mad at, really, are Republican officeholders who refused to do anything other than vote to repeal the [Affordable Care Act],” he said. On September 30, Minnesota Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman announced that health insurance rates will increase from 50 percent to 67 percent in 2017.

[CtH: Typical Democrat who can’t admit he was wrong, ever.  They assured us that THEIR “AFFORDABLE Care Act” was going to lower premiums.]

Concerns grow of press kept at bay during Donald Trump presidency

I WOULDN’T BLAME HIM A BIT. AND I’D NEVER DO TAPED INTERVIEWS, GIVEN THE MEDIA’S PENCHANT FOR ‘CREATIVE EDITING.’

[CtH: Second that!]

President-elect Donald Trump never hid his contempt for the news media during the campaign and has continued to keep the press at bay after winning the election, raising concerns he will end the tradition of allowing a pool of reporters to cover his every move in public.

Mr. Trump, who at campaign rallies regularly denounced the news media as “the most dishonest people you’ll ever meet,” has support for breaking the tradition and keeping the public in the dark about his daily whereabouts.

“I don’t think Trump needs the press pool,” said Rep. Duncan Hunter, a California Republican who is a top Trump ally on Capitol Hill. “He didn’t need it when he ran and he doesn’t need it as president of the United States.”

“If I had just won the election after everyone said I’d lose and rooted for my opponent, why would I give anyone the time of day,” said Mr. Hunter.

GOP To Use Previously Unheard Of Tactic To Slam Dunk Trump Agenda
WE’VE BEEN WAITING DECADES FOR THE REPUBLICANS TO GROW A PAIR AND START DISHING OUT SOME OF WHAT THEY’VE HAD TO TAKE FROM SCARY HARRY AND HIS MERRY BAND OF CUTTHROATS.

The key is “reconciliation,” the part of the congressional budget process that allows highly controversial policies to be considered in the Senate without any possibility of them being filibustered.

But reconciliation by itself isn’t the unprecedented procedure; it’s the novel way the leadership plans to use reconciliation: For the first time in the 4-plus decades’ history of the congressional budget process, reconciliation may occur twice in the same year.

Harry Reid Dismisses Donald Trump: ‘A Sexual Predator Who Lost the Popular Vote’

I’M GOING TO MISS THIS SORRY ASS LIKE AN IMPACTED WISDOM TOOTH

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid broke his silence Friday on Donald Trump’s victory, denouncing Trump as a “sexual predator” who “lost the popular vote” and “emboldened the forces of hate and bigotry in America”—and who is now solely responsible for healing the country’s gaping political wounds.

In a fiery statement released three days after the election, Reid, who is retiring, holds Trump accountable for his comments on the campaign trail that inspired “fear” in women, Hispanics and African-Americans in the U.S.

[CtH: Well, I guess he’d know all about sexual predators in the Oval Office, now wouldn’t he?]

TIME FOR ANOTHER NAP.
