A Sacred Obligation

Tomorrow is primary day here in Illinois. Thinking that a Republican vote in this state makes any difference is like thinking that peeing in Lake Michigan will raise the water level. The turnout is always low for these primary elections but not voting is to betray the sacrifice of those who gave all to secure this most precious right to each of us.

Those who think that this state isn’t every bit as corrupt as New York or California should think again.

A few tidbits :

  • Lisa Madigan, daughter of House Speaker Mike Madigan, the real power here, is not running for Attorney General again after two terms.
  • Pat Quinn, a shameless kisser of union asses, left the governor’s mansion in January of 2015. Now he’s back, looking to jump back on the taxpayer gravy train. When he was elected in 2008, he won two — count ’em, TWO — of the 102 counties in the state. St. Clair County, which is across the Mississippi from St. Louis, (East Saint Louis is a ghetto…the entire city), and of course, Cook County. He went to the unions and promised two years with no layoffs and raises. He also passed a “temporary” state tax increase on individuals and corporations. On his last day in office, he got the state senate to make the tax increases permanent. It passed by one vote … secured by promising an outgoing Democrat who had been voted out a six-figure, no-show government job. That’s how they do things here.
  • A successful investment banker, Republican Bruce Rauner was elected in 2014. After decades of profligate spending by the Democrats who run this state top to bottom, it took about 10 minutes for the Chicago Tribune and Sun Times to blame Rauner for the skyrocketing deficits. There has been an ongoing fight over spending, with Rauner trying to hold the line as Madigan spends, spends, spends. Rauner vetoed one spending bill and the Senate quickly overrode his veto.
  • After the override, Rauner seemed to give up. He’s gone along with everything the Democrats demand, including making this a sanctuary state. Jeanne Ives is running to replace him. The polls show him ahead, but a light turnout favors people who are motivated. There are a lot of us who are sick of Rauner bending over whenever Madigan tells him to.
  • On the Democrat side, the two main contestants for the Democrat nomination are a fat pig named JB Pritzger, another union shill (they don’t come any other way here) and Chris Kennedy. Yup, we don’t have enough liberal jackasses here, we had to import RFK’s son.

Republicans will never make a lot of difference, since the Democrats rule Cook County, and by default, the rest of the state. Still, far better men than me have secured my right to express my opinion the only way those in power will notice.

Fleeing the Land of Lincoln
They are fleeing Illinois in jaw-dropping numbers because its citizens have the unique distinction of residing in one of the worst governed and most over-taxed states in the country. They drive on roads that are falling apart and are forced to bear the costs of an incomprehensible level of state and municipal corruption.

Illinois politicians use the law not to protect and serve, but to line the coffers of state and local governments as well as their own pockets; Chicago’s police are pretty good tax collectors, which they proved a few years ago when Mayor Rahm Emanuel jiggered with the city’s traffic cameras to allow them to issue thousands of more tickets to unsuspecting motorists, but seem unable to protect that city’s citizenry from thugs and thieves.

A study of the relationship between the state’s coming collapse and the cozy decades-long relationship its politicians have enjoyed with public employee unions in which they have traded the public’s money for campaign contributions, outright bribes and votes reveals a major reason why things are so completely out of control in the Land of Lincoln.

Forewarned Is Forearmed

When I woke up Wednesday morning and saw that the race in PA-18 was too close to call, I knew Lamb was going to win. Democrats never lose close races…never. You have to be outside the margin that they can get away with cheating in order to prevail. Ballot stuffing, discounting overseas ballots, and precincts with 200 registered voters reporting more than a thousand ballots. All in a day’s work when you have no positive message.

Republicans Say PA Voting Machines ‘Miscalibrated’, Saccone Votes Changed To Lamb

Among the listed concerns are “miscalibrated” voting machines in Allegheny County, the only county of four in the district that went for Lamb, according to the source, who said there have been many reports of voters who intended to vote for Saccone ending up casting a ballot for Lamb.
Furthermore, Republicans say their attorneys were ejected from polling sites as the absentee ballots were still being counted and that due to confusion caused by the Pennsylvania secretary of state website people were directed to the wrong polling locations.

WOW! Republicans Say PA Voting Machines ‘Miscalibrated’, Saccone Votes Changed To Lamb

The Democrats went back to Rahm Emanuel’s recipe for winning back the House in 2006…pick local candidates and have them run 10 miles to the right of Ronald Reagan. Lamb had family ties in the district and ran as a pro-tariff, pro-life, pro-gun patriot. He even ran a campaign ad holding an AR 15. Not many Democrats can get away with that. Of course, when he gets to his office in DC he’ll be greeted by some officials who will remind him he’s a Democrat. Just do what he’s told and the party will back him and he can make some good money. They also have the most potent weapon possible, a media that will cover for him and attack his opponents with no basis.

What may or may not be a surprise is that RINO Paul Ryan’s PAC backed the Democrat in this race:
In the most astonishingly bone-headed move since nominating Mitt Romney for President, the GOP establishment spent major cash to help elect Democrat Conor Lamb in last night’s highly contested PA-18 special election.
Yes, you read that right. Failed Vice Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan and his Congressional Leadership Fund pushed a Democrat to victory over a Republican with direct mail advertising touting support “for our Second Amendment Rights.”
https://canadafreepress.com/article/breaking-paul-ryans-pac-elected-democrat-conor-lamb

What it comes down to is this may be a harbinger of the midterm disaster awaiting the Republican party. The Democrat party has flipped almost 40 straight seats this year. Maybe special elections don’t draw much interest, or maybe Republican voters are becoming complacent since they hold all three branches. What is clear is that the GOP elite have shown that conservatives mean nothing to them. They sat around for a year, doing nothing to repeal and replace Obamacare. It wasn’t until the last days of the session they hastily got a tax reform done so they had something to show the folks back home. Whether the base comes out or not remains to be seen.
One thing is certain: the left has a singular maniacal obsession…get Trump. Nothing else matters. One gets nightmares thinking of that brain-addled whore Nancy Pelosi once again holding the speaker’s gavel. Maxine Waters, impeachment articles written a month earlier, dancing in the aisle, waving the paper in one hand and her cheap wig in the other, jumping and spinning like she had a rabid squirrel in her girdle. The inmates will have retaken the asylum.
The sad part is I doubt many of the Republicans would care. Leading is much harder than just sitting back, spouting platitudes about what they’d do, only if.
Most of them never liked Trump anyway, so what difference does it make?
We better make damn sure we’re ready; the Democrats sure will be.

A Generational Figure

In retrospect, what Ronald Wilson Reagan managed to accomplish in his time seems all the more amazing. Without a legislative majority and with an adversarial press that still dictated what people saw and heard, he managed to reduce taxes, win the Cold War by forcing Russia to spend itself into oblivion and made Muammar Khadafi piss himself when he dropped a missile down the chimney of his hut after the bombing of Flight 007 over Lockerbie. He managed to go over the head of his opposition to speak directly to people without the aid of social media. His communication skills were the stuff of legends.

When his vice president,George H W Bush was elected,they called it Reagan’s third term. Anybody who expected that was sorely disappointed. The Bushes were centrists, not quite democrats but by no means conservatives. The fatal flaw they both had was assuming democrats were anything but inveterate liars who could slither under the moral bar, no matter how far it was lowered. When he famously said,”read my lips…no new taxes” they took it as a challenge. They offered him a deal….for every dollar you let us raise taxes we’ll (wink wink) lower spending by two dollars. Three dollars. Hell,a MILLION dollars. We don’t cut anything but military spending anyway. It’s in our DNA.
After the media hammered him for reneging on his no tax pledge he was ushered out of office by an unknown grifter from Arkansas and his greedy, power-hungry mate. I would hesitate to call her a wife since there was doubtless little affection in their relationship. He spent his time raping and grinning while she essentially ran the government clandestinely.

The discourse, I believe, coarsened to almost the degree that it is today in 2000 when ,for perhaps the only time in modern history the democrats failed to commit blatant theft of an election. The Florida Supreme Court tried twice to allow them to continue to find mystery ballots from sources unknown until SCOTUS demanded they stop. In yesterday’s Pennsylvania House race,the results were too close to call .The democrat will win. Guaranteed. Aside from 2000 their success in winning close elections is 100%.T hey know how to cheat.

Frankly, I voted for W only because the thought of that fat Tennessee pig as president was unthinkable. Kind of like eating tainted tuna fish…it will make you sick, but won’t kill you. After he took office, the media launched an all-out assault on W, the likes of which I never thought I’d see again. I was so wrong.

In 2008, another unknown burst onto the scene with little known about him except to those of us here in Illinois who knew him only too well. In their fervor to “make history” the media guarded him like a sow grizzly over her cubs. No one will ever convince me there was any reason for his election  except the fact his daddy was African. Like Clinton, he was a hedonist, loving leisure and eschewing work whenever possible. Clinton liked women, Obama liked golf…and probably men. Michelle would have cut Barry’s throat over a woman. For eight agonizingly long years he took time out from golf and their endless vacations only long enough to punish the country that he despised so much that gave him everything.

In full confession, when he declared himself a candidate, I thought Donald Trump was a joke. Surely he couldn’t be serious. His distinct advantage was he had never held office, had made no unholy alliances and didn’t owe anybody anything. Most politicians (especially liberal ones) never held a job in the real world except maybe as lawyers. The other republican candidates suffered from the same unrequited politeness toward democrats who would disembowel them without a second thought.

Trump had no such delusions. He’d dealt with every sort of lying snake through his business dealings. Having created companies and put people to work,rather than take jobs away made him unique.

It turns out there’s not another person in this nation who could have stood up to the democrat party and the relentless Clinton machine. As late as election day, “experts’ pegged his chances of winning at around 5%. Then 63 million of us who were sick of Hillary, sick of the lies and corruption, sick of being told she was unstoppable, sick of open borders and ever higher tax rates to pay for democrat votes showed up at the polls.

Nearly 16 months after the election she has still not come to grips with the reality she’ll never get the brass ring. The hundreds of millions she scooped up from foreign powers as advance payment for favors once she ascended the throne came to naught.

I, for one, get really sick of the non-stop, 24/7 jihad the media is waging against the president. Their hatred of him surpasses what Reagan faced by the intensity of a thousand suns. They never stop. I don’t envision him leaving office before 2024 despite the frantic efforts of those who would destroy him. Whether the democrats are successful in stealing enough seats in November to regain the majority in order to impeach him for no reason remains to be seen.

It took almost 40 years for another generational figure to be sent by God to rescue us from the liberal malaise.My fervent hope is that Almighty God in his mercy will call me home before our nation turns into a totalitarian regime and everything Trump has done will be undone. I just don’t think I could bear to watch it.

Information Overload

When you bookmark a lot of links without posting it’s kind of like getting constipated. Sooner or later it has to be purged.
So much for tasteful language for the day.
This is a scattershot post, wandering all over, hoping to find something anybody may be interested in. (It sure as hell ain’t me.)

Schumer slammed for citing skin color in vote against white judicial nominee
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer faced a stern rebuke from congressional colleagues for citing skin color in voting against a white federal judge nominee earlier this week.
Schumer, D-N.Y., said on the Senate floor Wednesday that the nomination of Marvin Quattlebaum, a white lawyer who is a partner at Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough in Greenville, S.C., “speaks to the overall lack of diversity in President Trump’s selections for the federal judiciary.”

San Diego State University offering course called ‘Trump: Impeachment, Removal, or Conviction?’
A description of the course says the focus will be on the two constitutional grounds for removing a president from office: “Impeachment and removal (25th Amendment),” KUSI News reported.
It will include lessons on possible charges of the independent counsel and the powers of the president. Students in the class will also learn about “presidential immunity from indictment, and grounds for impeachment, removal, or indictment.”

Texans break early voting record after more Dems get involved
I ALLUDED TO THIS IN THE PREVIOUS POST
Early voting in Texas’ largest 15 counties has hit an all-time high for a non-presidential election year ahead of congressional primaries in the state on Tuesday.
According to data posted on Saturday by the Texas secretary of state’s office, 885,574 Texans voted in the 11 days of early voting that ended Friday, the Austin American-Statesman reported.
That figure far surpasses the 592,153 Texans who voted early in 2014.
Early voting among Democrats surged this year, the Statesman reported. 465,245 Democrats cast their ballots early, compared to 420,329 Republicans. That represents a significant change from 2014, when only 226,730 Democrats voted early, compared to 65,423 Republicans.

Statue of Marion Barry, controversial former mayor, unveiled in Washington
THE INSCRIPTION SHOULD READ: “THE BITCH SET ME UP!”
To some in Washington, D.C., he was a “living legend” who advocated for the city’s poor. To others he was a controversial figure remembered for being re-elected mayor despite serving a prison sentence for possession of crack cocaine.
The move to honor Barry, who died at age 78 in 2014, may seem mystifying to non-Washingtonians. But among Barry’s supporters, the statue is an appropriate tribute to a legitimate D.C. icon — a man so popular and influential that he walked out of federal prison and immediately began winning elections again with one of the most improbable comebacks in American political history.

How A Pathetic Republican Party Is Allowing ‘The Resistance’ To Run The Score — And The GovernmentSenate Republicans are heading toward midterm elections with control of their chamber and the biggest advantage any majority party has had since 1790. Yet every week, the Democrats are allowed to work just 2.5 days before returning home to duke it out with their Republican challengers. That is, Mitch McConnell is allowing Democrats to hit the campaign trail hard while obstructing 139 of the president’s nominees
Executive governance is out of style. On Friday, while 26 Senate Democrats up for re-election went home to their states or elsewhere to speak and raise money with which to batter Republicans in November, 139 of the White House’s nominees languished in positions from undersecretary for arms control and international security affairs to director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center

GOP Rep: POTUS and His Family Are Being Put Through Hell For Winning an Election – There’s No Evidence They Committed Any Crime
Earlier this week, GOP Rep. Lee Zeldin sent a letter to AWOL Attorney General Jeff Sessions urging him to appoint a Special Counsel to investigate FISA abuses and how/why Hillary’s probe ended and Trump’s Russia probe began.
Zeldin’s letter came after Sessions told reporters he would have IG Horowitz investigate the FISA abuses. We need a special counsel; the Inspector General does not have prosecutorial power.
At the time of this publication, thirteen GOP Reps. have signed Zeldin’s letter.
On Sunday, Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) said from his Twitter account, “.@realDonaldTrump & family being investigated for winning election w/no evidence they committed any crime to win the election. Sick, crazy & wrong!”

The Woman in the High Castle
WE DIDN’T DODGE A BULLET, WE DODGED AN ICBM

In a dystopian fantasy in The New York Times at the end of the year, the columnist Bret Stephens reminded us of the horror that might have been:
Tax cuts. Deregulation. More for the military; less for the United Nations. The Islamic State crushed in its heartland. Assad hit with cruise missiles. Troops to Afghanistan. Arms for Ukraine. A tougher approach to North Korea. Jerusalem recognized as Israel’s capital. The Iran deal decertified. Title IX kangaroo courts on campus condemned. Yes to Keystone. No to Paris. Wall Street roaring and consumer confidence high.
And, of course, Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court.
Thank God, as Stephens himself so forcefully predicted, Donald Trump was crushed in the November 2016 election and the nation was spared those and other right-wing depredations.
Instead, Hillary Rodham Clinton, in the landslide that everyone who was anyone predicted, was elected the 45th president of the United States and lost no time in fulfilling her campaign promises—and even going beyond what she had promised in many areas. […]
“Hate speech is not free speech,” Clinton argued in a rousing Oval Office speech, which is widely credited with inaugurating the lawsuit now before the Supreme Court to update the outmoded provisions of the First Amendment for the 21st Century. “Thomas Jefferson could not have foreseen Fox News, Breitbart, or Rush Limbaugh,” Clinton said, “and it’s pretty clear that our Founding Fathers and Mothers would not have countenanced the hurtful lies masquerading as news that such divisive outlets foster.”

Maxine Waters Promises Slavery Reparations For Blacks If Dems Take House In Midterm Elections
Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters said during an event in Selma, Alabama on Saturday that she would “be happy” to secure financial reparations for black Americans.
Waters said as long as Democrats win back the House in 2020 and are able to get a president who is friendly to their agenda, it would be “wonderful” to get reparations.
“I’d be happy to do that. That’s no problem,” Waters said when an event attendee pressed her to support reparations.

Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran Announces Resignation, Will Depart April 1

While he survived a brutal and controversial Senate primary in 2014, Thad Cochran of Mississippi, citing his failing health, is resigning effective April 1. A special election will be held to finish the remainder of his term that ends in 2020. If no one gets above 50 percent, a runoff will be held. For now, Gov. Phil Bryant will appoint an interim senator to fill the vacancy until the election. Cochran’s colleague, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MI), is up for re-election this year and is facing a challenge by state Sen. Chris McDaniel. McDaniel challenged Cochran in 2014

Espy became Assistant State Attorney General from 1984 to 1985, when he was elected as a Democrat to the 100th Congress in 1986 from Mississippi’s 2nd congressional district.
He defeated two-term Republican Webb Franklin to become the first African-American to represent Mississippi at the federal level since Reconstruction.
He was reelected three times.
Just 20 days after taking office for his fourth term, Espy resigned after being appointed Secretary of Agriculture in the Cabinet of President Bill Clinton. He served as Secretary of Agriculture in 1993–94.

The Silicon Valley elite’s latest status symbol: Chickens
Their pampered birds wear diapers and have personal chefs — but lay the finest eggs tech money can buy
AS AN OLD FARM BOY, I AM VERY WELL AWARE OF THE NUANCES OF THE RAISING OF POULTRY.
I JUST HAD TO POST THIS TO SHOW YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE ABOUT HOW LOONEY CALIFORNY HAS BECOME.
In America’s rural and working-class areas, keeping chickens has long been a thrifty way to provide fresh eggs. In recent years, the practice has emerged as an unlikely badge of urban modishness. But in the Bay Area — where the nation’s preeminent local food movement overlaps with the nation’s tech elite — egg-laying chickens are now a trendy, eco-conscious humblebrag on par with driving a Tesla.
In true Silicon Valley fashion, chicken owners approach their birds as any savvy venture capitalist might: By throwing lots of money at a promising flock (spending as much as $20,000 for high-tech coops). By charting their productivity (number and color of eggs). And by finding new ways to optimize their birds’ happiness — as well as their own.
They are selecting for desirable personality traits (such as being affectionate and calm — the lap chickens that are gentle enough for a child to cuddle), rarity, beauty and the ability to produce highly coveted, colored eggs.
All of it happens in cutting-edge coops, with exorbitant veterinarian bills and a steady diet of organic salmon, watermelon and steak.

Democrats don’t want immigration reform

They didn’t do diddly about fixing immigration during the 111th U.S. Congress, when they had majority control of both sides of Congress and the White House.

And now, they have blocked a Trump-supported Republican deal that would have offered a path forward on DACA.

2018_02 16 Protect dreamers unless

Sen. James Lankford (R-OK): “Most of what was proposed by the President and Senate Republicans has passed the Senate multiple times over the past fifteen years, but not today. It’s disappointing that Democrats would not come to the table simply because President Trump supported it. Immigration reform is complicated and emotional, but it is essential that we keep working until we reach a good faith solution for the future of all Americans.”

Fox Business’ Trish Regan:Maybe they don’t want Republicans to get the credit for giving these dreamers a path to citizenship!”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY): “I thought my friends across the aisle would jump at this opportunity to fulfill what they say is their top priority. But they just could not take ‘yes’ for an answer.”

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR): “What this debate has shown is just how unserious the Democrats are about illegal immigration.”

Sen. David Perdue (R-GA):Senate Democrats have shown their true colors. First, they shut down the government over DACA. Today, they had an opportunity to vote to provide certainty for 1.8 million DACA recipients and they voted no.”

Democrat Hypocrisy

2018_02 01 Dems reach across aisle by Terrell

By Joel B. Pollak at Breitbart

When Ohio State Treasurer Josh Mandel noted in 2012 that Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) had been accused of abusing his wife, liberals accused Mandel of abusing women by raising the issue.

Rita Smith, executive director of the Denver-based National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, declined at the time to criticize Brown. Instead, she defended Brown’s voting record on women’s issues. And she told an interviewer that Mandel’s attack on Brown was “‘actually abusive,’ because he is putting Brown’s family, including his former wife, in a negative spotlight, ‘and that is abusive of women.’”

That is how many Democrats really feel about politicians who abuse women.

As long as they have a “D” after their names, and vote for abortion, they are almost incapable of abuse.

True, the allegations against Brown came in an ugly divorce, where it is not unknown for warring spouses to make all kinds of claims against each other. And Mandel raised the issue in the context of a tough Senate race, where accusations are always subject to distortion.

But in the Rob Porter case, the standard that Democrats and the media are applying to the White House is that even defending the presumption of innocence — as President Donald Trump did Friday and Saturday, after letting Porter go — amounts to condoning the abuse.

Former Vice President Joe Biden — that paragon of propriety when it comes to respecting women’s bodies — said Friday that there were “abusers … within the Oval Office.” He said that Trump’s praise for Porter’s performance on the job was like saying an “axe murderer” was a “great painter.”

Perhaps Biden should look closer to home, in Delaware. His former colleague, U.S. Senator Tom Carper (D-DE), “admitted to hitting his ex-wife hard enough to give her a black eye,” the Washington Free Beacon notes.

And yet no Democrats have called on Carper to resign.

Not even Porter could deny all of the allegations against him. The photographs and the statements of his former wives are more than credible: they are convincing. Chief of Staff John Kelly, whom the media are busy dragging through the mud, said Friday that 40 minutes after he learned of the full extent of the allegations, Porter was gone.

Everyone can agree that there is no place in public leadership for people who abuse their partners.

Everyone except partisan Democrats, who accuse the accusers of abusing women.

The Daily Time Waster

It has snowed every day since Sunday. It’s supposed to stop some time today and start again Thursday night and be non-stop until sometime Saturday. We’ve only gotten about 7″ so far, but may be looking at more than a foot before it’s done. I made a living driving a truck along rural roads for decades, but now that I’m retired I get somewhat stressed out by adverse weather conditions.

Just a bunch of unrelated stuff which may or may not interest you.

Mississippi House Approves Earliest Abortion Ban at 15 Weeks

On Friday, lawmakers in the state House passed HB 1510, by a vote of 79-31, with some Democrats joining in with Republicans to approve it.

According to the Associated Press, Rep. Becky Currie, the bill’s sponsor, said about the 15-week cut-off for abortion, “At that time, it’s time to decide whether you’re going to carry this child or not.”

House Judiciary B Committee Chairman Andy Gipson (R) said the bill is just as much about protecting women as babies.

“Women deserve real health care, not some fake health care that involves the destruction of human life and a woman’s health,” he said.

FBI Lovers’ Latest Text Messages
Obama ‘wants to know everything’ … when he’s not supposed to be asking about the Clinton email case and when he said he hadn’t been involved in it in any way.

Newly revealed text messages between FBI paramours Peter Strzok and Lisa Page include an exchange about preparing talking points for then-FBI Director James Comey to give to President Obama, who wanted “to know everything we’re doing.”

In texts previously revealed, Strzok and Page have shown their disdain for Republicans in general, as well as Trump, calling him a “f—ing idiot,” among other insults.

Among the newly disclosed texts, Strzok also calls Virginians who voted against then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s wife for a state Senate seat “ignorant hillbillys.”

Oh, and her little dog too!

They’re not protecting Hillary. As far as they’re concerned, Hillary can rot in prison.

No. They wouldn’t go to all this trouble to utterly corrupt our entire criminal justice system just for one old, decrepit, corrupt hag they hate with a passion.

You don’t go to these lengths to protect someone like that.

This isn’t about protecting Hillary. This is about protecting Barack Hussein Obama.

You know it. I know it.

Julián Castro tells NBC he has ‘every interest in running’ for president in 2020

Former Housing and Urban Development secretary and San Antonio mayor Julián Castro told NBC News he has “every interest in running” for president come 2020.

Further fanning rumors is his planned speech at the New Hampshire Young Democrats Granite Slate Awards later this month, where he is being touted as “a national rising star of the Democratic Party.”

From out of the slime, Sidney Blumenthal rears his head again

BLUMENTHAL IS ONE OF THE MOST VILE, DESPICABLE VERMIN TO EVER SLITHER OUT OF THE D.C. SLIME PIT.

When the question of who cooked up the gross, repulsive contents of the Steele Dossier is asked, is anyone surprised the name of Hillary Clinton’s consigliere, Sid Blumenthal, comes up?

Blumenthal has that kind of mind, and sure enough we read of him again. This time, there’s a new memo, created by Senate Republicans Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham about the creation of the Steele dossier, and apparently one of the contributors was Sid Blumenthal.

Blumenthal, you recall, was an assistant senior advisor to President Clinton from 1997 to 2001, the prime Clinton scandal years, following a career as a writer for the New Yorker.

He was a prime witness in the grand jury testimonies over the Monica Lewinsky scandal and famous for leaking creepy stories about the Ken Starr special prosecutor investigation to the press, and came to be known as a man who would do anything for the Clintons.

He got a reputation so slimey that even Rahm Emmanuel, who became President Obama’s chief of staff, wouldn’t allow him near the Obama White House.

Black Lives Matter leader shot dead
AT LEAST IT WASN’T A COP.

Muhiyidin Elamin Moye, who went by Muhiyidin d’Baha, was found dead Tuesday morning after being shot in the thigh while riding his bicycle, the Advocate reported.
New Orleans police spokesman Beau Tidwell said no information about a potential motive or suspects was immediately available

Adam Schiff sent his staff to try and collect ‘classified materials for the FBI’ after Russian pranksters told him Putin had NAKED blackmail pictures of Trump
DEMOCRATS WILL JUMP AT ANYTHING TO GET TRUMP.

Adam Schiff, the ranking Democratic member of the House Intel Committee was recorded speaking to Russian pranksters who spun elaborate ‘kompromat’ tale.

He told Vocan and Lexus, two radio pranksters who have also hit Nikki Haley, that he would pass their claims to the FBI in a call made last year.

The duo posed as a fake Ukrainian politician to say Trump had sex with Russian glamour model Olga Buzova after a Miss Universe pageant in 2013.

In the call they said Putin had been passed naked pictures of Trump and now-president had used secret codes for talks with Russians.

Duo gave emails to DailyMail.com which showed Schiff’s staff trying to arrange to collect ‘classified’ documents from Ukraine’s embassy in D.C.

Schiff’s office claimed he was not fooled by the call and reported it to ‘authorities’ but did not explain why his staff kept up correspondence

Elaborate story: The two claimed that Trump had an affair with Russian glamour model Olga Buzova after a Miss Universe pageant in 2013 – and that naked pictures of him were passed to Vladimir Putin by his ‘goddaughter’ Ksenia Sobchak.

Russian pranksters Vladimir ‘Vovan’ Kuznetsov, 30, and Alexei ‘Lexus’ Stolyarov, 28, called Schiff and persuaded him to stay on the call for seven minutes as they outlined their fake claim.

Hakeem Jeffries to Trump: ‘How dare you lecture us about treason’

Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries slammed President Trump for suggesting it was treasonous for Democrats not to applaud during his State of the Union and questioned whether the president and his officials have themselves engaged in treasonous acts.

“Treason is not a laughing matter,” Jeffries, of New York, said during a speech on the House floor Tuesday. “It is a serious crime embedded in the Constitution, punishable by death. But since your commander in chief chose to raise it at a political rally, let’s have a discussion about treason.”

RNC TROLLS Democrats In New Ad: ‘What Do You Stand For?’

Maxine Waters Ready for Breitbart Pushback While Leading Trump Impeachment Drive
THIS IS ALL A SHOW FOR HER 200K HOMIES IN WATTS.

According to Elle’s puff piece, Waters “touched on the attacks that the Republican party and, in particular, Breitbart have launched against her—she noted that she’s frequently referred to as Mad Max.”

“When you make a decision, and you know that decision is controversial, you know that you’re going be up against people who are going to fire back at you,” she reportedly said. “I’m prepared to suffer the consequences of my actions, and I don’t fall backwards into this stuff. And so, the consequences will be there, but I’m prepared to deal with that.”

[CtH: “Mad Max” seems mild compared to the things she’s said about our president.]

Taking back the House will be harder than Democrats think

They are on track to have a record number of candidates running, led by a surge of women and veterans. According to the latest compilation by the Campaign Finance Institute, nearly 60 percent of Republican-held districts have a Democratic challenger who has raised at least $50,000; two years ago, fewer than 20 percent had reached that threshold by this point in the cycle.

All of that is a good thing for any party. Except when it leads to large, messy primaries.
In suburban Virginia, for instance, Democrats worked hard to recruit state Sen. Jennifer T. Wexton (Loudoun), a former prosecutor with deep roots in the district, to take on Rep. Barbara Comstock, one of the most vulnerable Republicans in the country.

Tuesday Junk

The daily installment of “who cares?”

Trump’s lawyers reportedly don’t want him talking to Mueller – It’s advice he should take
There is no evidence Robert Mueller needs from Donald Trump – it’s a trap Trump should avoid unless and until the Supreme Court rules otherwise.
Those characteristics, while they proved valuable against the comatose and drab Hillary, could be a disaster in an interview with Mueller. Mueller’s team is very experienced in these perjury and obstruction traps. They will not ask any questions they don’t already know the answer to, and the questions they ask will not be posed to obtain information. They have all the information. They will be probing not for information, but for mistakes.
Don’t do it. I don’t know what power Mueller would have to compel testimony, but nothing should be done voluntarily.

“If we can take back the Senate, that means that I will have the sole power to determine what goes on the floor of the Senate,” he added. “It means we’ll be able stop Donald Trump from putting all his junk on the floor and stop the anti-LGBT cascade of things that come into the United States Senate,” the Senate Minority Leader continued.

Baltimore Mayor Debuts Crime Prevention Office to Support Black Males
Mayor Catherine Pugh announced a new office, to be called the Office of African American Male Engagement, which she says will begin operations on February 12. It is modeled after a similar venture in Philadelphia, where it is called the Office of Black Male Engagement.
The mayor also said she has picked former city high school principal and mayoral candidate Andrey Bundley to helm the office.
“The reason the office is important is because too many black men are either the perpetrators of crime or victims of it,” Bundley said, according to the Baltimore Sun. “It is about saving lives.”

Judge criticized by Trump may end up determining fate of border wall, report says
US District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, whom President Trump accused of being biased in handling the Trump University case during the 2016 election, will hear a case on Friday to decide whether the president’s proposed wall along the southern border can get waivers for environmental laws.
If Curiel rules against President Trump, the administration’s effort to secure the border between the US and Mexico could come to a halt.
Curiel, an Indiana native who was nominated to the federal bench by Barack Obama in 2011, was criticized by the president in 2016 for certifying class-action lawsuits that claimed Trump University was fraudulent.

The 2018 Elections Just Got A Bit Easier For Democrats Thanks To The Supreme Court
The Pennsylvania legislature will redraw the state’s congressional district lines in advance of the 2018 midterm elections, after the Supreme Court Monday declined to overturn an order requiring a new map.
The decision is a victory for Pennsylvania Democrats, who convinced the state supreme court in January that the current map is gerrymandered to favor Republicans, in violation of the state constitution. The court ordered the GOP-controlled legislature to produce a new map by Feb. 9.

Homelessness in Los Angeles Has Surged by 75 Percent in Six Years
“by far the biggest single group of unsheltered people in any U.S. city”
Three out of four homeless people — 41,000 — live in cars, campers, tents and lean-tos, by far the biggest single group of unsheltered people in any U.S. city. If you took out Los Angeles, national homelessness would have dropped last year for the first time since the recession.
The problem has only gotten worse since Mayor Eric Garcetti took office in 2013 and a liberal Democratic supermajority emerged in 2016 on the county Board of Supervisors.

If you think any of this has caused California to re-think any of its policy positions, guess again. They’re planning to push even further to the left.

Judge Rules Bakeshop Owner Doesn’t Have To Bake Wedding Cake For Gay Couple

“For this court to force such compliance would do violence to the essentials of Free Speech guaranteed under the First Amendment,” Lampe ruled, according to a press release sent to The Daily Caller News Foundation. The injunction also posited that if Miller refused to design the cake, the state would force her to close her Tastries Bakery shop altogether.
LiMandri argued in Friday’s court hearing that Miller doesn’t discriminate against same-sex couples, but refuses to use her artistic talents to express a message that conflicts with her religious beliefs about marriage.

A Bold Prediction

It is a well-known fact that Democrats will do anything to get what they want — lie, cheat, break laws, commit perjury. The ends justifying the means is the only thing that motivates them — retaining power and control to impose their will on a deeply divided country.
Obama, Lynch, Mueller, Comey, Rosenstein, the whole sordid bunch, are spokes in a massive wheel. At the hub is Hillary Rodham Clinton. They were willing to stop at nothing to make her president while simultaneously destroying Donald Trump.
The FISA memo confirms what we already knew. It is important that the truth come out, if only for posterity. When you hear predictions that indictments are coming or people are going to jail, it’s all for the benefit of the half of the country that believes in the rule of law. My prediction is that none of these major players will ever be indicted, much less tried. It is not possible to find an impartial jury in Washington D.C. that would convict any of them.
New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez went on trial for corruption and bribe taking in connection with his major donor, Dr. Solomon Melgen, who had already been convicted of 96 counts of bribery and Medicaid fraud. Of the 56 count indictment against Menendez the jury hung on every one of them. You only need one or two ringers to hang any jury and this snake pit is crawling with them.
The democrats also have a secret weapon against being held to any serious consequences:
The Attorney General refuses to do his job and Trump will not remove him. He has stood quietly on the sidelines while the Democrats commit felonies with impunity. It would not be a surprise if they are blackmailing him the way many (including me) think they are doing with Chief Justice John Roberts, who ruled Obamacare constitutional on grounds that were never argued. He just made them up.

Jeff Sessions on Nunes memo: “No department is perfect”

Memo Revelation: Dossier Author Admitted He Was ‘Desperate’ that Trump ‘Not Get Elected’
“In September 2016, Steele admitted to [former FBI official Bruce] Ohr his feelings against then-candidate Trump, when Steele said he “was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president,” the memo states. “This clear evidence of Steele’s bias was recorded by Ohr at the time and subsequently in official FBI files—but not reflected in any of the Page FISA applications.”

Memo confirms Obama’s corruption
Barack Obama not only went down in history as the worst president, but he has now shoved aside Nixon as the most sneaky and corrupt.
The Obama Scandal is the abuse of power by a president and his operatives to undermine the election — and then to sabotage the regime change.
The release of the memo confirms the former. We have known about the latter for a long time.
“Federal employees worried that President Donald Trump will gut their agencies are creating new email addresses, signing up for encrypted messaging apps and looking for other, protected ways to push back against the new administration’s agenda,” Politico reported.

Obama Admin’s First Request to Spy on Trump Campaign Was Rejected by FISA Court — So They Added the Fake Dossier Knowing It Was Lie
We now know that the FISA requests to spy on Carter Page were based on the discredited and bogus fake Trump dossier created by Fusion GPS and that the dossier’s origin was not reported to the court.
We also know that all of these requests were signed off on by the Obama Administration’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch and that the first request to spy on Trump was denied by the FISA Court.

Alan Dershowitz reacts to the FISA memo release

House Memo Released; Reveals Discredited Dossier Paid for by Hillary used by FBI to get FISA Warrant to Spy on Trump Campaign
The damning Memo also includes the fact that Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe testified under oath to the House Intelligence Committee that without the use of the Dossier, the FBI would not have sought a FISA Warrant. So it was key.
So, if you step back from this Memo, it reveals that the Top Leaders of Law Enforcement in the United States used discredited political dirt from the Democrat Candidate for President to get a FISA Court under false pretenses to allow them to spy on her Republican Presidential Opponent during a Presidential Election. Their goal was to prevent Trump from being elected, and then became to bring down his Presidency.
You can argue all the nit-picky things you want about the Memo. But this central reality cries out for Justice.

Why Did the Democrats Lie So Baldly about the Memo?
Adam Schiff, Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, among seemingly dozens of Democrats, not to mention half the mainstream media, had been warning us for days that the release of the memo authored by Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee would place our national security at grave risk. “Sources and methods” would be revealed.
Now that we have seen the memo, it’s clear that was an absolutely bald-faced lie of the most obvious sort. Nothing in it impacts national security in the slightest. There’s no mention whatsoever of any “sources and methods.”

Seven takeaways from the House memo detailing FBI’s surveillance abuses
Republicans released a long-awaited memo Friday detailing government surveillance abuses, showing that the FBI would not have obtained a surveillance warrant for the Trump campaign without using information from a dubious partisan dossier.
Here are seven take aways:
⦁ The FBI relied heavily on Democratic Party dossier to obtain three surveillance warrants before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The FBI did not tell the court the information came from a Democratic Party-financed opposition research. FBI knew source.

TRUMP WILL NOT FIRE MUELLER… HE BELIEVES HE WILL BE FAIR

Report: Mueller may indict Trump just to make a point
Rep. Ken Buck, who is a former federal prosecutor, tells Politico an indictment of Trump “would create a constitutional crisis.” Trump is within his rights as president to fire the FBI Director. So an indictment for obstruction based on the firing would amount to Mueller’s assessment that Trump fired Director Comey for the wrong reasons, something Rep. Buck says would be “unique in the history of the country.” Of course, we’ve seen courts interpreting Trump’s executive orders on immigration in a similar way, i.e. not arguing the president lacks authority but that his prior statements prove his motives were unconstitutional.

On The Same Day Trump Releases the Nunes Memo, A Federal Judge Keeps The Comey Memos Secret
On the same day the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released the Nunes memo showing the FBI relied on the salacious and unverified Trump dossier to obtain a surveillance warrant on Carter Page, a federal judge ruled to withhold the Comey memos. The memos, authored by former FBI Director James Comey, are about his nine private conversations with President-elect and President Trump.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who ruled in favor of the FBI’s request to keep the Comey memos secret, also sits on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The FISA court is the same court that approved the surveillance on Trump associates.

NeverTrump Rallies to Defend Deep State, Dismiss Memo
Fusion GPS’s initial research on Donald Trump was funded, via the Washington Free Beacon, by billionaire Paul Singer, “a major funder of the #neverTrump campaign.”
So it is perhaps no surprise that the members of NeverTrump defended the dossier and attacked Friday’s memo.
MSNBC’s Rick Wilson, who markets himself as a “GOP Media Guy” on his Twitter profile, derided supporters of President Donald Trump as “mouthbreathers” while dismissing the memo’s revelations as unimportant.

ABORTION After 20 Weeks

Remember when Obama told us we should be more like the other nations of the world? I think that, when it comes to pain-capable and even viable unborn human beings, he meant other nations should be more like us … and kill as many as possible.

ABORTION after 20 weeks

At twenty weeks, the developing baby is about 6 inches long (13.2 cm) and may weigh about 10 ounces. The baby may begin to make movements that the mother can feel at about 19 to 21 weeks; this baby movement is termed “quickening”. The baby at this stage of development can move its facial muscles, yawn, and suck its thumb. The expanding uterus at 20 weeks is felt at the level of the belly button.

ABORTION 20 week fetus photo

The House passed, then the Senate voted down a bill that would have banned abortions on pain-capable fetuses.

There was an exception for those little people who were conceived in rape or incest. Apparently, the sins of the fathers are supposed to be visited upon the children. Or something.

Eighteen states have passed similar legislation. Idaho and Arizona have, too, but are unable to enforce them “thanks” to ongoing court cases.

The votes broke down almost entirely on party lines with these exceptions:

Pro-Abortion Republicans = 4 NAYS

  • House: Dent, Frelinghuysen
  • Senate: Collins, Murkowski

Pro-Life Democrats = 6 AYES

  • House: Cuellar, Lipinski, Peterson
  • Senate: Casey, Donnelly, Manchin
