Trump’s determination to tap his executive authority next year in all its many forms will demand sharp legal advice and patience. Some regulatory reversals he has in mind, for instance, are predicted to take two or more years to accomplish. Other Obama policies will be easier to erase.
Runner-Up Of The Year: Congrats To Hillary For Coming In Second For The Second Time
“She’s the woman who was almost President. She is what might have been and what will yet be.”
The former presidential candidate held off hackers, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, scientists behind the bio-engineering CRISPR breakthrough and Beyonce to lock down the awfully impressive number two spot.
The Oklahoma attorney general, who the New York Times described as a “hero to conservative activists,” is one of the Republican attorneys general who formed an alliance with the country’s top energy producers to put a stop to Obama’s regulatory agenda.
Pruitt, along with Greg Abbott of Texas, planned a legal effort starting in 2014 to counter the Obama administration’s string of regulations, including on climate change. Their efforts resulted in a 28-state lawsuit against Obama’s climate change rules, which is expected to move to the Supreme Court.

The Dodd-Frank financial “reform,” passed by Democrats and signed into law by President Obama in 2010, is arguably the most misguided and economically harmful piece of legislation ever imposed on the country (the second, arguably, is ObamaCare).
As we’ve noted in this space before, one of the main reasons the economy has been stuck in neutral for the past six years has been the millstone of a 2,300-page law that has spawned multitudes more pages of costly and economically foolish regulations. The law has calcified the credit markets, forced community banks out of business, and unleashed an unaccountable, out-of-control agency that goes by the innocent-sounding name of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
But in a world where the president makes fun of handicapped people and fat people, how do we proceed with dignity? I want to tell people, “If you do two things this year, watch Idiocracy by Mike Judge and read [Nazi filmmaker] Leni Riefenstahl’s 800-page autobiography [Leni Riefenstahl: A Memoir] and then call it a year.”
“You have pardoned hundreds and hundreds of people convicted for drug offenses,” Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., said at a Wednesday press conference in Washington. “We want you to use that same pardon power for hundreds of thousands of young people who came forward because you asked them to come forward. You asked them to come forward.”

Ohio approves bill to ban all abortions after the heartbeat of the fetus is first detected
The so-called ‘heartbeat’ abortion bill has been approved by Ohio’s state House. It would see almost all abortions banned after the first heartbeat is detected. Bill only makes exception if the mother’s life is in danger and not in rape cases. Legislation is now being passed to state governor John Kasich for his approval.
AS IT SHOULD BE.
[CtH: I have long said that the standards for determining death should be the same ones for determining life. Currently, the standard for determining life is whether or not the baby’s nearest kin want him or her to live, while the standard for determining death are cessation of heart beat and brain activity, both of which are detectable in fetuses before many women suspect they’re even pregnant. Of course, if the euthanasia creeps get their way, we’ll make death like abortion where the people who are most likely to resent the expense and bother of caring for the helpless individual gets to decide whether or not to off him or her.]
Whoa: Liberals Mull Scheme to Temporarily Seize Control of Senate, Confirm Obama’s SCOTUS Nominee On January 3, 2017, Democrats will hold the majority in the Senate for a few minutes, until the newly-elected Senators are sworn in. Biden could convene the Senate in those few minutes and call for a vote. The majority could then suspend the rules and vote in Merrick Garland. The key here is that VP Biden would have to be willing to convene the Senate and recognize Senator Dick Durbin instead of Mitch McConnell. Durbin moves to re-nominate Garland, and Senate Democrats then vote to confirm him. They will have a quorum for those few minutes. It’s bold. Garland would be confirmed by 34 Democrats and no Republicans.
Jarrett said, “We were surprised by the outcome of the election. It kind of was like a — I’m not sure what the right analogy would be, but like a punch in the stomach, let’s say. Soul-crushing might be another description. But that’s the democracy that we have. The people get to decide and the elections matter and we have to get about the business of doing our jobs.”
Barack “MeToo!” Obama
Donald Trump began a Thank You Tour this past week to celebrate his victory with those who supported him in the election. Naturally, “MeToo!” Obama decides he needs to do a tour as well.
Fox News Chief National Correspondent Ed Henry told Fox & Friends this morning that behind the scenes, Obama’s advisors are planning a Farewell Tour in mid-January before he leaves office.
Not for the same reasons, of course. Trump is doing it to thank us; Barack “MeToo!” Obama is doing it so people can thank him. Amazing, isn’t it?
Obama flies to Hawaii in less than two weeks and will stay there until after the New Year. Then, he’ll hop aboard Air Force One, return to Washington just in time to launch his Farewell Tour.
Said Ed Henry: “I’m told there’s at least three cities that President Obama will be giving major speeches in arenas. One of them is Chicago, his sort of adopted hometown. They’re looking at the United Center there, where the Chicago Bulls play.”
He can’t wait three weeks and do a little tour on his own dime? What’s wrong with holding a “I’m a Private Citizen Now” tour? I guarantee, tens of thousands of Americans who didn’t vote for Obama would turn up to celebrate that.
No. Obama wants to do this because he is continuously being upstaged by the man who will replace him. And nobody puts Barry in the corner!
Obama Looking Forward To Vacation After The White House The Obamas Just Bought Another House — And This One Is Really Far From Home Though the family has already leased a posh nine-bedroom mansion in the North West neighborhood of Washington, D.C. for when they leave the White House, Barack and Michelle Obama are now the proud owners of a fifth home on the West Coast.
The Obamas bought a house in Rancho Mirage, Calif., a small town located near Palm Springs that is known for its golf resorts and was frequented by Obama during his presidency.
[CtH: The better for them to never again have to endure living in the same house. Remember when Candidate John McCain was reamed out for owning 7 houses? The hypocrisy of the Left never lets up. Candidate Rubeo was ripped for owning a fishing boat that cost less than a Prius. SecState Kerry owns a multimillion dollar yacht. And they’ve already started tut-tutting over the cost of Melania’s clothes, having ignored Michelle’s pricey wardrobe for 8 years.]
Obama’s Never-Ending Lecture Tour President Obama, who has done less for Europe than any American President since Calvin Coolidge, cannot stop telling Europeans what to do. As Obama sets out on his final European tour as President, with his political party back home in a state of near collapse, and with Putin inflicting yet another painful humiliation on the least successful American President in the history of the modern Middle East, nothing seems able to shake his serene confidence that he knows more than other people, sees farther than they do, and that other people are eager to gather up his pearls of insight.
[CtH: I’m guessing he surrounds himself with people who lick his shoes.]

“I don’t give a damn what the president wants to do,” he said. “We will not waterboard. We will not torture people.”
McCain went even further to say that anyone who brought back waterboarding would be in court in a “New York minute.”
“If they started waterboarding, I swear to you that we’d have them in court in a New York minute,” McCain said.
House erupts in chaos after LGBT vote
KARMA’S A BITCH, AIN’T IT? It was an unruly scene on the floor with Democrats chanting, “Shame!” after GOP leaders barely muscled up the votes to reject, 212-213, an amendment by Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.) that would have effectively barred federal contractors from getting government work if they discriminate against the LGBT community.
Maloney, the amendment’s author, was furious with Republicans for how they handled the floor fight over his offering. He singled out Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) in particular for criticism, saying the No. 2 House Republican personally lobbied GOP members to change their votes when it looked like Maloney’s proposal would pass.
Jeff Sessions may prosecute ‘sanctuary cities’ if confirmed as attorney general ACCORDING TO THE 10TH AMENDMENT, STATES CANNOT BE FORCED TO COOPERATE WITH FEDERAL AUTHORITIES.
From his first day in office, Mr. Sessions will have the power to strip some federal funding from sanctuary cities, thanks to rulings this year by the Justice Department’s inspector general, who said federal law requires localities to cooperate with immigration agents — and who provided an initial list of a handful of the worst offenders.
“The sanctuary cities thing is huge. I think most jurisdictions are going to fold like a cheap suit,” said Rosemary Jenks, government relations manager at NumbersUSA, which lobbies for stricter immigration laws.
Shocker: In Wake of Hillary’s Defeat, Donations to Clinton Foundation Dry Up THAT WOULD BE LIKE PAYING A HOOKER FOR A HANDSHAKE. NO BANG FOR THE BUCK.
Donations fell as the former Secretary of State left the group in April last year shortly after announcing her run for the White House. Her departure also meant that revenue brought in from paid speeches plunged from $3.6 million in 2014 to just $357,500.
House Warns Obama, Passes New Law That Prevents Him from Pushing Through Last Minute Rules And Regulations
He knows his time is running out and he also knows he hasn’t really accomplished much.
It’s crunch time and we often see presidents try to cram parts of their agenda into these last few months.
Remember Bill Clinton’s infamous pardon of Marc Rich?
House Republicans made a big move this week to try and prevent any last-minute funny business from the president.
Obama blocks new oil, gas drilling in Arctic Ocean HE’S GOING TO DO ALL HE CAN TO CREATE AS MUCH CHAOS AS POSSIBLE BEFORE HE LEAVES
A five-year offshore drilling plan announced on Friday blocks the planned sale of new oil and gas drilling rights in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas north of Alaska. The plan allows drilling to go forward in Alaska’s Cook Inlet southwest of Anchorage.
The blueprint for drilling from 2017 to 2022 can be rewritten by President-elect Donald Trump, in a process that could take months or years.
Despite that, industry representatives reacted bitterly to the latest announcement, calling the decision blatantly political.
“The arrogance of the decision is unfathomable, but unfortunately not surprising,” said Randall Luthi, president of the National Ocean Industries Association, an industry group.

“This adheres to the accepted practice that certain characteristics in certain roles constitute a ‘bona fide occupational qualification’ that is legal.”
It also noted other shows like “The Color Purple,” “Porgy & Bess” and “Matilda” that call for “race, ethnicity or age specific casting” — but agreed to tweak the ad.
“The casting will be amended to also include language we neglected to add, that is, we welcome people of all ethnicities to audition for ‘Hamilton,’” the statement added.
Asked about the casting call, the city Human Rights Commission reiterated that discrimination based on age, race, gender, disability and “other protected categories in employment advertisements” is prohibited.

The forgotten communities that President-elect Trump resonated in and who had their revenge on November 8 when they loudly shouted that they’re not with her [Clinton].
Obama: “Extremely Proud Over 8 Years, We Have Not Had Kinds Of Scandals That Plagued Other Admins” NOPE. NO DEEP-SEATED MESSIANIC COMPLEX HERE
If anybody knows how to jerk the press around, it has to be Donald Trump. I can imagine he gets a real kick out of them making fools of themselves as they try to trip him up at every turn. He slipped out the other night to have dinner with his family at 21, a high-end steak house. It so happened there was a reporter there who immediately tweeted to all his co-conspirators that he was there. High dudgeon all around. How dare he actually go to dinner with his family without checking with them first? The nerve of the guy! Who does he think he is, the president?
FROM NBC: As Trump Leaves Press Behind for Steak Dinner, Incoming Admin Already Showing Lack of Transparency In a highly unusual move, President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday night left his Manhattan residence without notifying the reporters covering him or giving any indication of where he was going.
The maneuver seemed to deliberately limit access to the media.
The only way the press eventually ascertained his whereabouts was after a Bloomberg reporter, who happened to be dining at the 21 Club, tweeted a photo of Trump and some of his transition team in the Midtown steakhouse.
While the dinner choice left the media mad, diners inside the former speakeasy were ecstatic.
“There was a standing ovation when he came and left,” said Andrew Testo, a 43-year-old who was eating with friends. “He was with his whole family. It was like Sunday dinner with the Trumps, but on a Tuesday. It was awesome.”
THINK HE DID IT ON PURPOSE? YOU BETCHA. AND WITH GOOD REASON.
MEDIA WAR ON TRUMP: Top 28 of 35 US News Stories on Tuesday were Anti-Trump Hit Pieces
The top stories on Tuesday show the absolute anti-Trump bias by corrupt American media.
28 of the top 35 articles are anti-Trump hit pieces.
The headlines include:
— Trump Transition Shake-Up Part of ‘Stalinesque Purge’ of Christie Loyalists
— Was Steve Bannon, Donald Trump’s Attack Dog, Paid Illegally?
— There’s No Such Thing as a Good Trump Voter Noted Constitutional Scholar, Barbra Streisand, Urges Obama To Bypass Senate, Appoint Supreme Court Justice Unilaterally “According to the Washington Post, he has the power to do this since Congress has refused to vote, and apparently that can be considered a waiver of its rights to advise and consent,” she said.
Her Washington Post citation referred to an April 8 op-ed by Gregory L. Diskant, a national board member of the liberal advocacy group Common Cause, who argued that the Senate would have “waived its right” to confirm a justice if it failed to do so in a “reasonable amount of time.”
Democrats’ new Senate leader open to filibustering Trump’s Supreme Court picks COUNT ON OBSTRUCTION AT EVERY TURN
Sen. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, said nominations to the high court should get support from both parties, and said the filibuster is a way to enforce that on a president. He pointedly noted that when his party changed filibuster rules three years ago, they left intact the ability to filibuster at the Supreme Court level.
“I’ll underline that we did not change the rules for Supreme Court because we thought on something as important as this, there should be some degree of bipartisan agreement,” Mr. Schumer said.
Nancy Pelosi On Trump Win: “We’ve Been Through Hell” A lot of the newer democrat reps think after 14 years as leader, it’s time to put this swaybacked nag out to pasture.
One senior House Democratic aide described Tuesday’s meeting as being unusually contentious as members grappled with how the Democratic Party should rebuild following last week’s election losses, with some wanting new blood in leadership.
“After every single election cycle, she (Pelosi) says things are going to change” in how she interacts with the caucus, the aide said characterizing lawmakers’ concerns. “But then, she doesn’t do anything different. It’s the same inside circle” surrounding her.
President Trump is Going to Hit Some Very Nasty Greenies Where it Really Hurts Like a baby sea otter on MDMA, basically: frolicking and swooping and frisking and diving in the lovely warm, salty water made up entirely of the tears of Hillary voters, greens, and the bien-pensant wankerati.
THE BIEN PENSANT WANKERATI…. DELINGPOLE HAS A WAY WITH WORDS
When it comes to dealing with people who behave badly and ruin the lives of others, I’m with the Old Testament rather than the New one: don’t turn the other cheek, let alone love them as thyself, but smite them, salt them, and crush them underfoot like the mutant slugs they are.
Nowhere, it seems to me, is the kind of retribution more necessary than in the field of environmentalism.
The MSM Savaging of Melania Trump Begins
And so, a piece at Yahoo News made an issue of a dress that Melania Trump recently wore. The headline read: “Melania Trump Wore a $1,655 Fiery Red Dress for 60 Minutes Interview.”
Were readers supposed to be outraged by the price tag? Given the media’s predisposition to smear the Trumps at every turn, I’ll assume the worst intentions about the headline. COMPARING MELANIA TRUMP TO MICHELLE OBAMA IS LIKE COMPARING A MASERATI TO A DUMP TRUCK
Anyone remember the dress Michelle Obama wore a couple of years ago when she and Barry hosted French President Francois Hollande at the White House? It cost $12,000. OF COURSE HER DRESSES COST MORE…. IT TAKES 40 YARDS OF MATERIAL FOR CHRISSAKE
Hillary Makes First Appearance Since Concession: I “Never Wanted To Leave House Again” WHY, HILLARY…YOU LOOK LIKE SOMEBODY JUST WALKED OVER YOUR GRAVE
(IF YOU WATCHED “TOMBSTONE” YOU’LL GET THAT ONE)
A weary-looking Hillary Clinton said Wednesday evening at her first public appearance since she conceded to Donald Trump that she considered cancelling her speech to the children’s advocacy group but kept the commitment out of respect for her mentor.
‘I will admit coming here tonight wasn’t the easiest thing for me,’ she said at the Children’s Defense Fund’s gala in Washington, D.C.
Jason Chaffetz: We Aren’t Done With Hillary Yet “We have to get to the truth. It was was never about a political targeting of Hillary Clinton. She created one of the biggest security breaches in the history of the State Department. We still have tens-of-thousands of documents we still haven’t seen, there’s more than Hillary Clinton involved in this, you have dozens of people within the bowels of the organization,” Chaffetz said.
With Trump’s Signature, Dozens of Obama’s Rules Could Fall
Dozens of major regulations passed recently by the Obama administration — including far-reaching changes on health care, consumer protections and environmental safety — could be undone with the stroke of a pen by Donald J. Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress starting in January, thanks to a little-used law that dates back to 1996.
And it comes with a scorched-earth kicker: If the law is used to strike down a rule, the federal agency that issued it is barred from enacting similar regulation again in the future.
No, Obama can’t grant ‘amnesty’ by pardoning illegal immigrants In reality, the president does not possess this authority, as unauthorized presence in the U.S. is a civil violation, not a criminal one. Presidential pardon power only applies to federal crimes, described as “offenses against the United States” in the Constitution. As such, “a pardon can’t make someone a citizen or lawful resident,” explains John Harrison, a law professor at the University of Virginia. “Deportation is not a criminal proceeding, it’s a civil process that removes from the country someone who is not entitled to be here.”
“First of all, the president has a lot of options. President Obama didn’t do what he should have done, under the Constitution. He should have submitted that to the Congress, that’s a treaty. There’s no way of escaping the fact that that’s a treaty,” argued Giuliani.
“It should have been submitted to the Senate… he never did. What that means is, that deal is over with the current president. Trump can disavow it, as a matter of law, like that,” he continued.
Jason Riley: Harlem Gives President Trump a Chance When I asked Pace, who retired from a job in dress manufacturing several years ago, if he thought Mr. Trump would ever win him over, he responded: “He said he’d protect Medicare. I can go along with that. He said he’d get rid of the Bloods and the Crips and the gangs—get them out of here. I like that. If he does those two things, he’s my man.”
USGS Announces Largest Oil And Gas Deposit Ever Assessed In U.S. TRUMP KNOWS ENERGY IS THE LIFE BLOOD OF THE ECONOMY. HOPEFULLY, HE ALLOWS PRODUCTION TO START
On Tuesday, the USGS announced that an area known as the Wolfcamp shale contains 20 billion barrels of oil and 16 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
That is nearly three times more petroleum than the agency found in North Dakota’s Bakken shale in 2013.
“The Texas discovery is in a place that has been drilled before by conventional methods,” Jeff reported for NPR’s Newscast Unit. “But now that oil companies use horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing — or fracking — they can access reserves that previously were out of reach.”
Liberal hysteria over Trump is rapidly becoming self-satire It turns out that the hundred million dollars’ worth of Hillary campaign demonization has paid off in creating millions of people gripped by hysteria over the utter evilness of Donald Trump. Calling Trump Hitler is already passé so the quest for superlatives of evil is running out of material. According to a U.S. Congressman, Hitler, and even Stalin and Mao are all pikers in terms of mass killing.
This Is No Time to Go Wobbly, Donald
Trump must continue to refuse to play the game. Democrats have repeatedly proven that bipartisanship to them means that Republicans roll over for whatever Democrats want. If not, Republicans are tarred as obstructionists, racists, or whatever other epithet du jour. That’s because progressives are cultists hungry for more power so they can impose their ideological vision by any means necessary. Like Goldfinger, they don’t want Republicans to talk, they want them to die.
Obama sets new record for regulations, 527 pages in just one day “This is astonishing and should be of great concern, and intolerable, to policymakers. It is remarkable enough that the all-time record has been passed before Thanksgiving,” he added.
Obama has promised to regulate by executive authority, but the sheer number of pages of regulations being rushed through is astonishing.
Trump Could Cut $42 Billion Worth Of Regs Upon Taking Office
Trump said on the campaign trail that 70 percent of federal regulations “can go,” so the American Action Forum (AAF) put together a list of 48 major regulations Congress could invalidate under the Congressional Review Act (CRA).
“Together, those rules impose more than $42.5 billion in total costs, $6.5 billion in annualized costs, and 53 million paperwork burden hours,” AAF analysts Sam Batkins and Dan Goldbeck wrote in a new report. Obama awards Springsteen, Redford and DeGeneres Medal of Freedom Before he leaves office, President Obama is decorating a starry list of entertainers, newsmakers and civilians with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
It’s no surprise that Bruce Springsteen made the cut.
On Wednesday, Obama named 21 recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, which is presented to individuals who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.
The list honors a who’s-who of Hollywood, including Tom Hanks, Ellen DeGeneres, Diana Ross, Robert DeNiro, Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels, Robert Redford and Cicely Tyson.
I KNOW, I KNOW, SHOCKED, RIGHT?
The doctor actually said President Obama hasn’t done anything for us anyway. Look what just happened now. He’s in the basement of a destroyed hospital and he frankly didn’t think that anything could get worse,” Engel said.
“And he thought maybe with a new president things could get better, so frankly if you’re at rock bottom, which is what they are at in eastern Aleppo, maybe any change looks good,” he added.
At least 87 people, including four children, were killed Wednesday by air strikes over rebel-held eastern Aleppo, CNN reported.
Dem Rep Calls For Review Of Trump’s ‘Financial Empire’ “We have never had a president like Mr. Trump in terms of his vast financial entanglements and his widespread business interests around the globe,” Cummings wrote. “Moreover, we have not had a presidential candidate in modern times who has refused to disclose his tax returns to the American people.”
Nov 10, 2016: A landmark report by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) was released today showing the wells in Pavillion, Wyoming, were contamined NOT by fracking, but by the piss poor job the EPA did in drilling the water-quality monitoring wells.
WDEQ officials have also asked the EPA to plug and abandon those two faulty monitoring wells citing the “potential hazard they pose.”
In other news, a five-year study conducted by Obama’s EPA found ZERO evidence that fracking contaminates drinking water anywhere.
Still so much left to sift through. What a week it’s been. Here are some things that I thought you might enjoy.

“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.

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.

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

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.
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.]
“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.
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.]
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.]
“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.]
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.
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.
Pic Of The Day: Young Leftists Are Dumb. Really, Really Dumb… HIS MOM MUST BE SO PROUD [CtH: You assume she knows how to spell it! LOL]
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.
HAVING PIZZA WITH DAUGHTER AND RJ AND BIG SIS LATER….GOOD TIMES
The Chicago Cubs and their millions of long-suffering fans are facing destiny as they’ve fought back from a 3 games to 1 deficit to win two in a row and face a seventh and decisive world championship game tonight in Cleveland. I have enjoyed this wonderful season as a distraction from the political cesspool we are drowning in.
There, too, we are on the precipice of the most fraudulent, monumental vote rigging operation since the late and unlamented Saddam Hussein, the bastard in Iraq, who garnered 99.9% of the vote when he allowed a vote. Anybody who didn’t vote for him wound up dead. Most of the national polls show the race tightening, with many showing Trump actually pulling ahead. This usually happens as people get more interested and different polling agencies try to show these fiascoes as some kind of competition. I, for one, am unconvinced that this election has not been a foregone conclusion for 8 years. At least Trump is not the phony moderate milquetoast that McCain and Romney were. Trump provided an outlet for peoples’ anger and frustration over the few elites who rig everything to suit their own selfish interests. His rallies drew tens of thousands, Hillary’s, a few hundred. Yet, in the end, it is highly doubtful he can overcome the voting machine flipping, fraudulent multiple voting patterns, which happens far more often than is ever reported, and of the 40 or so million who are here illegally it is unclear how many of them get away with voting, especially in states without voter ID. The Cubs will know their fate in a few hours. The country has to wait 6 more days.
Six Days: Trump’s Narrow Path to Victory Gets a Boost in Key Swing States
Bottom line: The data and polling averages still point to a modest but clear Clinton victory. But the cake walk she was dreaming of doesn’t appear to be materializing at the moment, as her own scandals and failed policies are dragging her down. Trump supporters need to root for decisive momentum in the final days (which isn’t necessarily a pipe dream), and for the “intensity gap” electoral trend to continue.
PA Democrats ask judge to bar Trump’s polling place observers REMEMBER, IF YOU WILL, ON ELECTION DAY IN 2012, THERE WERE DOZENS OF PRECINCTS WHERE THE REPUBLICAN OBSERVERS WERE LOCKED OUT OF THE POLLING PLACES AND FORCED TO GO TO A JUDGE TO GET A COURT ORDER. BY THEN THE VOTES THAT HAD BEEN PRE-LOADED ON THE MACHINES WERE TALLIED AND DELETED. IT WAS PART OF THE REASON 56 PRECINCTS IN PHILLY DIDN’T REGISTER A SINGLE ROMNEY VOTE, A STATISTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY.
The lawsuit, which loops in the Republican Party of Pennsylvania, is similar to lawsuits filed Sunday by the state Democratic parties in Arizona, Ohio, and Nevada against Trump, Stone, and the state Republican parties there.
Stone, who has been using the Super PAC Stop the Steal to sign up volunteers, said in an emailed statement that he is “honored but the lawsuit is without merit.”
Stone said his group is not working with Trump or the Republican Party in its effort to conduct exit polls outside 7,000 polling places with a history of “one-party rule and past reports of irregularities.”
Tom Fitton: Naïve to Think Millions of Aliens in U.S. but ‘None of Them Are Illegally Voting’ “There’s 43 million people who are not citizens and are ineligible to vote, but a good percentage of them do register to vote. And of those that do, some vote,” Fitton explained.
“Most tend to vote Democrat. It’s a fact,” he continued. “There’s been a study out of Old Dominion University that shows it is enough of a vote to sway elections, one way or another. It may have resulted in election, specifically, of Al Franken to the United States Senate, and all the bad things politically or public policy-wise that happened as a result, like Obamacare and things like that.”
Rosa Maria Ortega, 35, is presently a resident of the Tarrant County Jail, where she is being held on a $10,000 bond, according to the Dallas-Fort Worth NBC affiliate Channel 5 News, which reported:
Ortega is married to an American and is living legally in this country, but is not a citizen and therefore, not qualified to vote, said Harry White, who supervises public integrity and white collar crime investigations for the Tarrant County District Attorney.
Ortega applied to vote in Tarrant County and acknowledged on the application form that she was not a citizen, White said. The county rejected her application and notified her she was not qualified to vote.
Analysis of early voting trends shows Hillary Clinton is building a potentially insurmountable lead in some traditional battleground states, narrowing Trump’s potential path to victory while fighting Trump to a draw in other states that are must-wins for the GOP nominee.
TRUMP HAS NO GOTV OPERATION AND NO SUPPORT FROM THE PARTY. THE DEMOCRATS KNOW HOW TO GET THEIR SHEEP, LIVING AND DEAD, TO THE POLLS. THE OVERFLOW RALLIES ARE NOT ENOUGH.
Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton angrily reacted to a protester shouting “Bill Clinton is a rapist” at a campaign rally in Fort Lauderdale, Florida Tuesday night, saying, “I am sick and tired of the negative, dark, divisive, dangerous vision and behavior of people who support Donald Trump,” according to reports.
As men and women of faith, they are concerned that she will be complacent or on the wrong side of the abortion issue. In the section of the letter entitled “Justice for the Unborn,” the leaders note the dire situation in New York City, where more babies were aborted than born.
“How do you justify your unconscionable silence in the face of such destruction of innocent black life?” they write. “Don’t black lives matter? What policies would you pursue as president to reverse the soaring abortion rates among black women?”
The black pushback to Hillary Clinton: A coalition of African-American clergy could spell trouble On Monday, a group of ministers and theologians affiliated with the Church of God in Christ (COGIC), an evangelical Christian denomination with more than 6 million members, marched to Clinton’s Brooklyn headquarters to drop off a sternly worded “Open Letter to Hillary Clinton Regarding Religious Freedom for Black America.”
They are a world away from the popular caricature of black ministers as hustlers who spend more time on scheming than salvation. These are folk who aren’t looking for money, favors, fame or photo ops.
Influence peddling, acting for Putin’s ally, hiding classified secrets and sexting – how FIVE separate FBI cases are probing virtually every one of Clinton’s inner circle and their families
Scale of FBI investigations into Clinton’s closest aides and friends is becoming clear
Besides Huma Abedin, a swathe of long-time loyalists are at the center of investigations including Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe
John Podesta ran the Clinton Foundation which is under investigation while his brother Tony is also focus of a probe about foreign corruption
Cheryl Mills already received limited FBI immunity during Clinton email investigation – and is key Clinton fixer
String of other names are being looked at or have been caught up in earlier scandals
ALL THESE INVESTIGATIONS WILL GO AWAY ONCE SHE GETS THE POWER
Leaked Memo: Hillary Wants Clinton Foundation To Keep Accepting Foreign Donations Hillary indicated to staffers that her personal preference is for the foundation to continue accepting money from foreign governments, even if she gets elected president, according to a leaked memo.
Additionally, the Clintons were hesitant to put limits on the foundation’s financial operations, for fear of missing out on “unexpected opportunities,” the memo reveals.
HER LUST FOR WEALTH IS A SICKNESS
Tom Cotton NUKES Clinton Foundation: ‘Largest Money Laundering… Operation In The World’ “We now know there were no fewer than four FBI investigations into the Clintons and their close associates — the Foundation, the emails, Abedin and Weiner and Terry McAuliffe, the governor of Virginia,” he continued. “And I suspect that that was a very high-ranking Department of Justice political appointee who was carrying water for the Clinton machine and wanted to shut down an investigation into the Clinton Foundation, which increasingly looks like one of the largest money laundering and influence peddling operations in the world.”
“This is why if Hillary Clinton wins this election and they don’t shut down the Clinton Foundation and come clean with all of its past activities, then there’s no telling the kind of corruption that you might see out of the Clinton White House,” Cotton demanded.
“They did it in the State Department. Of course, they’re going to do it in the White House.”
Scientists Are Using “Methane Backpacks” To Reduce The Impact Of Cow Farting On The Environment

Because Biden is smarter than Trump.
BIDEN DIDN’T HAVE TO BUILD AN EMPIRE OF HOTELS, CASINOS, AND OTHER BUSINESSES. HE’S JUST BEEN SUCKING ON THE GOVERNMENT TEAT HIS ENTIRE ADULT LIFE.
The entire Battle Royale lasted almost two hours last night. Chances are you didn’t sit through the entire thing. That’s understandable, I didn’t either. The fact is I can barely stand to listen to that lying crone for more than a few seconds. Who won the debate is strictly a matter of opinion. Maybe Donald felt he had to be restrained, for fear of being labeled a bully. I would have sliced and diced both her and that miserable shill who was doing the enabling… errr… moderating this spectacle. See previous post for more on that feckless pile of dreck.
All the videos are less than 2 minutes because my pain tolerance isn’t that high. Everyone with a computer has an opinion on last night’s show, but like they say: opinions are like bungholes… everybody has one.
Not exactly Socrates, but it’s all I got.
Hillary Clinton said “everyone” in the country is implicitly biased against African Americans during Monday night’s presidential debate.
Moderator Lester Holt prompted the response when he asked Clinton if she thought the police were implicitly biased against blacks.
“Lester, I think implicit bias is a problem for everyone, not just police,” she said.
HERE’S AN IDEA: HOW ABOUT DOING WHAT A POLICEMAN TELLS YOU TO DO, RATHER THAN RUN, FIGHT, OR TRY TO KILL THE COP.
SHE’S NOT ALL THAT POPULAR WITH THE HOMIES, SO THIS IS HER SUCKING UP.
Hillary Clinton Says She’s Very Concerned About Cyber Hacking
“But increasingly we are seeing cyber attacks coming from states, organs of states, the most recent and troubling of these has been Russia. There’s no doubt now Russia has used cyber attacks against all kinds of organizations in our country,” Clinton said. “I am deeply concerned about this.”
SO CONCERNED SHE ILLEGALLY USED A PRIVATE SERVER AND LEFT CLASSIFIED INFORMATION FOR EVERY THIRD-RATE CYBER-PUNK TO SEE.

Trump mocks Hillary for recycling line saying he shouldn’t be trusted with the nuclear codes if he can be baited by a tweet
‘So a man who can be provoked by a tweet should not have his fingers anywhere near the nuclear codes as far as I think anyone with any sense about this should be concerned,’ Clinton said, using a familiar applause line that she’s deployed during various foreign policy speeches against her Republican rival.
Trump sniffed upon hearing it.
‘That line is starting to get a little bit old, I must say,’ he said.
‘It’s a good one though,’ she shot back. ‘It describes the problem.’ Media ‘Ooohs,’ Squeals With Delight After Clinton ‘Burns’ Trump Over His Microphone
Hillary Clinton’s campaign press corps let out a collective, giddy “oooh” on Tuesday after the Democratic nominee threw out a zinger against Donald Trump for his complaints about his debate podium’s microphone.
“Anybody who complains about the microphone is not having a good night,” she said.
Clinton Received Debate Questions Week Before Debate, According to Sources ‘WHAT A SURPRISE’…SAID NO ONE EVER
Earlier last week an NBC intern was seen hand delivering a package to Clinton’s campaign headquarters, according to sources. The package was not given to secretarial staff, as would normally happen, but the intern was instead ushered into the personal office of Clinton campaign manager Robert Mook. Members of the Clinton press corps from several media organizations were in attendance at the time, and a reporter from Fox News recognized the intern, but said he was initially confused because the NBC intern was dressed like a Fed Ex employee.
Clinton Runs from Reporters After Debate, Trump Speaks with CNN and Fox News
Immediately following the intense presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton Monday night, Clinton quickly exited the arena, dodging questions from major main stream media news outlets.
However, Trump spoke directly to Sean Hannity of Fox News and Dana Bash of CNN answering numerous questions in the post-debate madness
SHE’S NOT ABOUT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS IF SHE DOESN’T GET THEM WELL IN ADVANCE.
MSNBC anchor Kate Snow falsely claimed in an interview Monday that Donald Trump has never appeared on a debate stage with a woman.
Snow was interviewing Steve Cortes, a Trump campaign surrogate, about the Republican nominee’s debate night strategy when she made the statement
‘Hillary, you’re bought and paid for’: Clinton’s top super PAC founder offers Trump debate zinger DAVID BROCK IS STILL A SLIMY PUNK
When it was Brock’s turn to rattle off a zinger, he offered advice to both presidential nominees, telling Clinton to emphasize Trump’s eyebrow-raising ties to Russia, and advising Trump to highlight Clinton’s relationship with rich campaign donors.
“For Hillary, I’d say, ‘A vote for you is a vote for the ISIS terrorists and Vladimir Putin,’ and then open up both of those issues. Open up on investments from Russia. I think that would be effective,” Brock said.
He added: “For Trump I’m going to give an objective answer. I think he should say, ‘Hillary, you’re bought and paid for. You even came to my wedding because I gave you money.'”
Audience Breaks Rules, Cheers When Trump Mentions Deleted Hillary Emails
Holt asked Trump why he hasn’t released his tax returns, to which Trump asked why Hillary Clinton’s staff deleted 30,000 of her emails during her time in the State Department. As soon as he said the word “emails,” the audience cheered and applauded. Holt then reminded the crowd they are supposed to hold their applause until the end of the debate.
“I made a mistake and I take responsibility for using a private server,” Clinton responded.
“That’s for sure,” Trump agreed.
PUNK NEVER HAD A CHANCE
She told him to actually be a journalist.
“I challenge you to be a journalist tonight,” she said.
Hayes asked her if Trump will explain why he changed his stance on the birther issue during the first presidential debate on Monday.
“You know I find that to be a very interesting place for you to start, when there are so many issues that Americans are faced, including the economy, jobs, education, and you want to start with the birther,” she said. “The good thing is that he’s put that to bed and ready to move on.”
Hayes kept pushing the subject by telling her that Trump has spent five years going on about Obama’s birth place.
Manigault pointed out that he did acknowledge Obama is an American citizen and he’s going to move on from that and focus on issues.
Hayes was not going to take that answer.
Top climate skeptic to lead Trump’s EPA transition team Myron Ebell, director of energy and environment policy at the conservative think tank Competitive Enterprise Institute, is heading Trump’s EPA transition preparation, E&E Daily reported Monday.
Ebell is an outspoken, longtime skeptic of the scientific consensus that human activity is dramatically changing the climate. He often refers to warnings about global warming as climate “alarmism” and is a vocal critic of President Obama’s climate change regulations.
Ebell has argued that the Clean Power Plan is illegal and that the Paris climate change agreement is unconstitutional.
Trump also doubts that human activity causes climate change.

Biden Bemoans Trump: “Think Of The Damage He’s Already Done To America’s Standing In The World”
Biden’s lack of self-awareness is painful to watch.
LA Police Union: Police Commission Wants Cops To Run From Armed Suspects “The key facts in this case are not in dispute. A female suspect, armed with an 8 to 9-inch knife, charged at officers, repeatedly ignored commands to stop, and was recorded yelling ‘shoot me’ as she swung her knife from side to side,” the LAPPL Board of Directors wrote in a blog post.
The armed suspect immediately closed the space between her knife and the police officers from 70 feet to no more than 5 feet in less 10 seconds. At this point, the first officer shot from his service weapon.
The Los Angeles Police Protective League had some pretty harsh words for these idiots on the commission. In their official blog, among other scathing comments, they wrote:
It sure must be easy to talk about “redeploying” an officer’s position while sipping a Diet Coke or bottled water while sitting in a police-guarded, air-conditioned room, in a cushy office chair, watching the events unfold in slow motion on a big-screen TV. Mook Dodges Question on ‘Hillary Cover-Up Operation’ Twice
“It’s important to pull back and look at the facts,” Mook said. “The FBI did a comprehensive and deep investigation into this, and at the conclusion of that, FBI Director [James] Comey came out and said to the world that there was no case here, that they did not have evidence of wrongdoing on Hillary’s part.”
Tapper rephrased his question as a way to provide clarity to his first inquiry.
“So, what’s the Hillary cover-up operation that the IT worker was referring to?” Tapper asked.
Mook dodged answering the question, shifting blame to Republicans.
WHAT DID YOU EXPECT HIM TO SAY?
“YEAH, JAKE, SHE’S A FILTHY, LYING BITCH WHO’S BEEN GETTING AWAY WITH COMMITTING CRIMES FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS?”
Amazon steps in to ‘fix’ Hillary book review
But result is 5-star ratings with scathingly negative comments
But Thursday afternoon, there were only 255, with many of the most critical reviews removed by Amazon, whose CEO, Jeff Bezos, owns the Washington Post, which created an army of 20 reporters and researchers to investigate the life of Donald Trump.
From suz702, who posted a five-star ranking: “I didn’t buy this book or read this book, but I have read the reviews, and enjoyed hours of entertaining, fun filled reading, expressing the TRUTH, about a crooked, lying, corrupt, terminally ill Presidential candidate, who stole the nomination from Bernie Sanders, and who is about the steal the Presidency with the use of election fraud.”

The 90-minute debate will be broken into six, 15 minute “pods,” the Commission on Presidential Debates announced on Sunday.
Clinton will receive the first question. She will have two minutes to answer and Trump will have two minutes to respond.
That will be followed by 10 minutes of open conversation and debate.
Where did all those ‘Trump Lies’ articles come from this weekend? The Clinton campaign, of course
The New York Times started the chain reaction on Saturday: “A Week of Whoppers”
Then, the LA Times, Washington Post and Politico followed suit.
As CNN media analyst Brian Stelter points out, the publications claim the timing was a coincidence:
Several of the editors who were involved said the timing was a coincidence. But there was clearly a desire to publish stories before Monday’s debate, when Trump and Clinton’s truthfulness will surely be at issue.
“Never in modern presidential politics has a major candidate made false statements as routinely as Trump has,” the L.A. Times declared on page one of Sunday’s paper.
Politico Magazine’s team analyzed every statement made by both Trump and Clinton for five days and said “the conclusion is inescapable: Trump’s mishandling of facts and propensity for exaggeration so greatly exceed Clinton’s as to make the comparison almost ludicrous.”
Stelter’s sources also claimed there was no coordination with the Clinton campaign.

Kellyanne Conway said she’s concerned that Clinton’s ‘going to try to interrupt him and confuse the people watching’
‘And then people will say, “He was mean to a woman,” and the headlines will scream and Twitter will blow up, even if it’s not true’
Said the Clinton campaign is ‘suggesting that the questions will be tougher on her because of sexism…Seriously?’
Conway also said she’s tracking Trump reporters’ tweets and has singled out two journalists as being negative toward him 92 percent of the time OF COURSE SHE’S GOING TO PLAY THE VICTIM… IT’S ALL SHE HAS
Election model gives Clinton 332 electoral votes IT WILL ALL BE OVER SOON ENOUGH
The model, which chooses a party, not a candidate, to win, awards Electoral College votes based on state-by-state outcomes.
The model shows a clear Clinton victory with the candidates slated to face off in their first presidential debate on Monday night.
The latest forecast puts 16 states, which includes Washington, D.C., firmly in Democratic territory, with 11 more leaning in that direction, for a total of 332 electoral votes.

Michelle Obama can’t hide her disdain for Melania Trump
There is no sugarcoating Michelle Obama’s venomous response to a question from Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night. At the same time black mobs were beating up innocent white people in Charlotte, North Carolina, showing no mercy, Mrs. Obama, appearing on Colbert’s late night show, went after Melania Trump.
HER PROBLEM IS A NANNY GOAT IS MORE FEMININE THAN HER FAT ASS
Is Michelle Obama’s obvious disdain for Melania a post-traumatic response from her Princeton days? Maybe. In 2010, the wrath of Michelle was directed at another fashion model, former first lady of France, Carla Bruni, in a now famous photo. Raise Your Hand if You’re Sure
