The Senate confirmation hearings start this week. Six are scheduled for today. The Senate democrats will act like ravening hyenas tearing at the flesh of a dead wildebeest. The most notable will be that of Sen. Jeff Sessions, a good and moral man that these wolves have known and worked with for 20 years. That matters little. They have to put on a show for the still-angry and fuming mobs. After the name-calling, baseless allegations, and sideshow theatrics, he’ll be confirmed as Attorney General, thanks to the ham-handed bullying of the almost-departed Harry ‘the slimy toad’ Reid. When he arbitrarily changed the rules from a 60-vote threshold for judges to a simple majority he must have thought the dems would maintain a majority in perpetuity. His short-sighted gamble will cost them dearly.
Jeff Sessions shunned, slandered by longtime Senate Democrat collaborators Senate Democrats are poised to throw away 20 years of friendship and a bipartisan working relationship with Sen. Jeff Sessions to wreak political vengeance on him this week as they consider his nomination for attorney general.
Highlighting the deep partisan divide and the bad blood between Democratic lawmakers and President-elect Donald Trump, the same senators who have socialized and co-authored reams of legislation with Mr. Sessions are under pressure from liberal interest groups to air accusations that he is a racist, a sexist and a homophobe.
Senate readies for blizzard of confirmation battles Democrats are focusing their attacks on eight nominees, three of whom come to Capitol Hill this week: Betsy DeVos, Trump’s nominee for Education Secretary; Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), who has been nominated to be Attorney General; and Rex Tillerson, Trump’s choice to be Secretary of State.
What this panel will effectively do is give a congressional soapbox, sanctioned by the GOP Judiciary chairman, to conduct a prolonged smear campaign with the intent to paint Sessions as some sort of unrepentant neo-Confederate racist.
What did we do? We confirmed seven Cabinet appointments the day President Obama was sworn in. We didn’t like most of them, either. But he won the election. So all of these little procedural complaints are related to their frustration in having not only lost the White House, but having lost the Senate.
When I first begin my daily foray into the world of the interwebs I always have the television on for background noise. It is very educational to see the wide array of wonderful products that are available thanks to our capitalist system. You can buy a pan that you can melt a plastic cup in and not have it stick (though if you’re serving melted plastic for dinner, don’t bother to invite me), you can cut the bottom out of a boat, replace it with a screen, spray some rubberized gunk on it, and fly through alligator-infested swamps, there is a spray that’s called something like ‘poo-gone’, or something. I mentioned it while the family was over for Christmas dinner — my kids all knew what it was (I raised them right) and today I saw a commercial for a lighted toilet so men wouldn’t miss the bowl if they went without turning on the light. American ingenuity is truly amazing.
Six NAACP protesters arrested after occupying Sen. Jeff Sessions’ office in Alabama THESE DICKHEADS ARE SO TIRESOME
“Senator Sessions has callously ignored the reality of voter suppression but zealously prosecuted innocent civil rights leaders on trumped-up charges of voter fraud,” Brooks said in a statement ahead of his arrest.
A reporter for Mobile’s Lagniappe newspaper confirmed that arrests were occurring and a livestream from the NAACP showed multiple protesters being put in zip tie handcuffs.

NAACP president arrested in Jeff Sessions’ office
Hezekiah Johnson, the head of the NAACP’s Birmingham chapter, said the decision to stage a sit-in on Tuesday was part of its plan “not to remain silent on this critical matter,” accusing Sessions of suppressing black votes in Alabama three decades earlier.

Trump’s team to PA: ‘There is no Palestine, Jerusalem is not your capital’ I’VE WAITED SO LONG FOR SOMEONE TO POINT OUT THAT THERE IS NO PALESTINE. NEVER WAS. JORDAN HAD A BUNCH OF PEOPLE IT DIDN’T WANT TO FEED SO THEY TOLD THEM TO GO SQUAT ON ISRAEL’S LEFT BANK AND THE JEWS WOULD TAKE CARE OF THEM IN BETWEEN DEFENDING AGAINST YOUR BLOODY ATTACKS ON THEIR PEOPLE.
The Trump official reported replied that “there is no Palestine, and Jerusalem is not your capital. If you stop the incitement to terror, put in place full economic transparency, stop acting unilaterally at UN bodies and accept a US embassy in west Jerusalem, we (the US) would consider a US diplomatic mission in Ramallah and call upon the Israelis to enter into serious negotiations with you on a long-term relationship.”
Kucinich: Obama Hung Democrats Out to Dry for Past Eight Years
The Daily Beast‘s Jackie Kucinich said to CNN’s Nia-Malika Henderson on Sunday that it would be interesting to see what kind of reception President Obama will receive when he meets congressional Democrats next week, adding that the president has hung his party “out to dry” during his time in the White House.

Liberals Panic as Trump Could Flip Left-Leaning Ninth Circuit Liberals are panicking about the fact that President-elect Donald Trump will be able to fill four vacancies on the historically left-leaning Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals when he takes office later this month.
Outgoing Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) called the vacancies a “judicial emergency,” according to Bay Area public radio station KQED, even though there are 29 judges on the court. The “emergency” is that Trump’s nominees might be able to make the court more conservative.

MY APOLOGIES TO THE TENS OF PEOPLE WHO STOP BY HERE ON A SEMI-REGULAR BASIS
Surfing the interwebs yesterday I came across a site that had Wisconsin fishing guides listed. There were several quite close to where I live who guide on the many lakes and rivers of Southeast Wisconsin. I’m considering several trips with RJ and my longtime fishing buddy. He has a boat, but the idea is to have a guide take you on a body of water you’re not familiar with, then you can go back on your own and have an idea where some good spots are. Lake Delavan is over 2,000 acres and Lake Geneva is over 5,000. That’s a lot of water to cover when you only have a short time. I contacted one guide through his Facebook page who is a Marine veteran and is also an EMT and has two other men who guide with him. He started fishing with his grandfather so he understands why I want to make some memories with RJ that he can share with his sons when I’m gone. It will only be about 4 agonizing months before ice out up North. I guess I’ll just have to wait until then.
Parting Regrets from the Loser’s Presidency MY FRIEND WILLIE INSISTED OBAMA GOT WHERE HE IS COMPLETELY THROUGH HIS OWN HARD WORK. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. IT’S CALLED POLITICAL IDOLATRY.
It is not certain that Barack Obama is the first president with African progenitors on adjacent branches of the ancestral tree. It is absolutely certain that he is the first president in American history who shot to the presidency on the rocket of race-based preferentialism. Mr. Obama became commander-in-chief without ever evidencing knowledge or even respect for the U.S. military because throughout his education and career, he enjoyed astronomical preferences above his peers, even above more qualified competitors, due not to his achievements, but to his bronzish mug. He in turn chose his wife and his attorneys general from his cohort beneficiaries of the peculiar institutions of affirmative action, the racialist hypersensitivity and preferencing that arose in the 1960s.
Clinton Lackey David Brock Caught ‘Money Laundering’ David Brock is everything normal people hate about politics. He’s a shady, shameless shill for Hillary Clinton who has made a fortune in the “political operative” industry by doing political operative-y things that contribute nothing of value to society. He’s also (allegedly) a paranoid coke fiend who travels with an armed security detail because he’s afraid snipers are going to get him.
Powerful labor union plans massive budget cuts in wake of Donald Trump victory According to Henry, the cuts are a direct result of Mr. Trump’s victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton in November’s election, along with the GOP’s continued control of Congress. With Mr. Trump and his Senate Republican allies poised to nominate dozens of judges, including a new Supreme Court justice, the SEIU fears its ability to collect dues from members will soon be significantly curtailed.
[CtH: Excellent news! The SEIU has been forcing workers to cough up dues that they use to promote Democrat politicians, despite workers who are opposed to said politicians.]
Someone else walked into the office of an organization advocating for immigrant rights and handed over a bag of cash he had just collected from members of his local community civics group.
[CtH: I remember hearing that pro-life organizations experienced similar surges in giving following the election of Clinton and Obama.]
The court provides a new opening to Trump and his attorney general designate, Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions. A congressional vote confirming Sessions could occur as early as Jan. 10, but Senate Democrats indicated they will put up a stiff fight to defeat the nomination
Shattuck: Ego-driven fantasy another bogey for Obama We’ve had eight years of “fake news” distorting the culture so much that overt, critical speech about this president became a dangerous and daunting prospect to everyday Americans. So they voted against him and his programs in a more roundabout fashion.
They are afraid to tamper with the legacy of the man himself but are more than comfortable chucking everything he stands for into the political dumpster.
Lame duck Obama has deliberately created a diplomatic crisis with our close ally, Israel, just weeks before he’s shown the door. Hopefully, these disgraceful acts will result in the end of the ‘2 State Peace Process’ and a defunding of the U.N.
Obama also blamed Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and the NRA for distracting the country from his message of “hope and change”, particularly during the holiday season. Obama defended the robbers and hosted Black Lives Matter in the White House.
Obama will be missed when he leaves the White House…by the criminals and thugs.
For the rest of America – January 20th cannot get here soon enough.
And liberals are giddy. Because they still don’t get it.
As liberals continue to draw cultural lines that leave conservatives out, they have to notice that it’s translating to ballot-box losses. Republicans don’t just control the presidency, the House, and the Senate, but nearly two-thirds of statehouses and a majority of governorships.
The all-encompassing liberalism in popular culture might not be hurting the performers’ financial bottom lines (so far), but it’s certainly not doing anything to help their political causes, either. As we learned this election, we ignore whole segments of the population at our peril.
THESE ARE TWO OF THE LAKES WE PLAN TO FISH COME SPRING
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.]
SR 1352 – Hillary Clinton Cannot Steal the Election From Trump!
McCain To Trump: I’ll Take You To Court If You Start Waterboarding Terror Suspects Again WITH 52 SEATS IN THE SENATE THIS BACKSTABBING LITTLE TURD AND HIS ASSHOLE BUDDY GRAHAM THINK THEY CAN MAKE TRUMP BEG FOR THEIR COOPERATION… NEENER, NEENER, NEENER
“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.

Pence’s Hamilton Lecture Is A Reminder That Urban Elites Just Don’t Get It They still don’t get it. They still don’t freaking get it. The metropolitan elites (i.e. snobby liberals) simply cannot grasp the America that exists beyond the highways and the suburbs. 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 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.blackgenocide.org/black.html
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.
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.”
“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.
“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.”…

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.
“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.

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?
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
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.]
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.

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.”

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.

As some of you may be aware, your intrepid reporter has been battery-operated since 3/2013 when a pacemaker was installed to keep the ‘ol ticker ticking. Lately I’ve been suffering occasional bouts of intense pain, like electric shocks in my chest. After consulting with my cardiologist today it was decided I needed another angiogram to make sure there wasn’t a problem with the bypasses I had in 2005. It’s scheduled for Tuesday. If a stent is needed I’ll have to stay overnight. There is a possibility my Thanksgiving meal will come from the hospital cafeteria. It is what it is.
I’ve seen the Cubs win a World Series and a republican get elected president. There’s not much left to look forward to. When you spend most of your life abusing your body with cigarettes and junk food there’s a price to be paid. This is just another installment.

Obama Tears Up Drilling Permits to Stop Gigantic Energy Boom in Colorado PRETTY SURE INTERIOR SECRETARY PALIN CAN FIX THAT
Jewell’s Bureau of Land Management claimed that the 25 “Mancos” energy drilling leases now being cancelled were just a non-performing portion of 65 leases on “lands managed by the White River National Forest” and “amount to less than ½ of 1 percent of the active leases on public lands in the state of Colorado.”
But the 25 properties were “non-performing” only because they have been tangled in red-tape since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, even though they were leased in 2005 during George W. Bush’s administration.
The BLM manages nearly 700 million acres of federal lands in the United States. Because of tight restrictions, the “onshore” oil and gas wells on BLM lands accounts for just 11 percent of the natural gas supply and five percent of the oil supply in the United States.
