The left has been screaming incoherently for the last month about (gasp) separating children from the adults who attempt to sneak into our country illegally to climb on the gravy train. Keep in mind, they couldn’t care less about these children. Never did. It’s just a convenient excuse to hammer the president as an issue for the midterms because they have nothing to offer except hate.
But that issue is about to go on the back burner. Trump, ever the showman with a flair for the dramatic, will announce his pick to replace Kennedy on Monday evening. The left has their next round of attacks pre-prepared. It’s down to about four and it appears to be down to Kethledge and Kavanaugh. Kethledge has been endorsed by Ted Cruz and is said to be soft on immigration. Continue reading →
The anti-Trump SCOTUS talking points are out.All his nominees are “racist, white men who defend the Ku Klux Klan.” I’m sure that makes a ton of sense, seeing as his short list includes:
Two women.
One first generation Indian-American.
One man who studied in Mexico and is fluent in Spanish, who worked at a legal aid clinic representing poor Spanish-speaking immigrants, and who has been active in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.
And, one man who wrote in a legal opinion that “being called the n-word by a supervisor … suffices by itself to establish a racially hostile work environment.”
Just this morning Democrats were whining about how McConnell “stole” the chance for Obama to permanently tilt the court far left. Kennedy was the deciding vote two days ago ruling that President Trump has the authority to ban travel from certain countries. Getting another Justice of Gorsuch’s caliber would send them into apoplexy. Gonna be a hot summer.
Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced he will be retiring from the bench at the end of July.

Supreme Court Overwhelmingly Rules in Favor of Colorado Baker in Wedding Cake Case
The Supreme Court has ruled 7-2 in favor of Colorado baker and devout Christian Jack Phillips, who declined to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple five years ago due to deeply held religious objections.
My boycott of network television has been ongoing for many years. It still is. But I took the news of the reboot of ‘Roseanne’ with interest. It was a complete smash with more than 18 million viewers and easily beat the Stormy Daniels porn-a-thon. It came as a shock to many Hollywood types, but then so did Hillary getting crushed by Donald Trump. Somewhere deep in the bowels of some studio in La La Land some big shots may yet get a clue that audiences are sick and tired of the constant conservative bashing in the media today.
Roseanne has been an outspoken supporter of the president, feelings that I doubt very much are shared by anybody else on the show. All I can think of is John Goodman, her TV husband, mocking Linda Tripp on SNL.
Roseanne Ratings Blowout! Premiere Is Top Comedy in 4 Years – Trumps Sunday’s Stormy interview in Adult Demo
The relaunch was the most watched comedy in 4 years and even beat the Stormy Daniels Sunday “60 Minutes” video in the adult demo.
Trump Calls Roseanne After Her ‘Pro-Trump’ Show’s ‘Huge’ Ratings
According to The New York Times, Trump called the 65-year-old star and former presidential candidate (remember this?) on Wednesday to thank her for breaking ranks with her Hollywood peers and openly supporting him, which she’s done personally and her character will now be doing weekly on her show. A man who fully understands the significance of ratings, Trump congratulated her for its 18.2 million viewers. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed the call to the press Wednesday. https://www.dailywire.com/news/28812/trump-calls-roseanne-barr-after-her-pro-trump-james-barrett
Movie theaters cash in as Hollywood turns to God Religion is reclaiming cinema for sacred purposes at a rate never seen in history, with faith-based movies exploding from an obscure cottage industry last century into a multi-billion-dollar business.
“You can add faith-based movies to the list of genres that you can count on as box office, as much as you can count on any genre. But these movies have to come from an authentic place,” comScore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian told AFP.
“You can’t just suddenly have executives in board rooms saying, ‘Faith-based movies are big right now so let’s do one.’ You have to come from an authentic place. Those in the faith-based community will know if it’s not the real deal.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/movie-theaters-cash-hollywood-turns-god-055835934.html

Obama Loyalist Susan Rice Joins Netflix Board of Directors THE OBAMAS ARE CURRENTLY IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH NETFLIX FOR THEIR OWN SERIES.
ANYTHING THEY GET INVOLVED WITH IS RIGGED.
Last year, Rice admitted to unmasking President Trump’s transition team after previously denying any involvement, prompting her to be interviewed by the House Intelligence Committee, while it was reported that Rice had ordered the surveillance of President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
Following the September 11, 2012, Benghazi terror attacks, Rice was also the “driving force behind a misinformation campaign.” http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2018/03/28/obama-loyalist-susan-rice-joins-netflix-board-of-directors/
U.S. District Judge Nominated by Barack Obama Orders Florida Governor to Restore Voting Rights to Convicted Felons
Another day, another power grab from the bench.
On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Mark Walker ordered Florida Governor Rick Scott and the Cabinet to restore voting rights to felons. GERRYMANDERING, FELONS VOTING, BALLOT BOX STUFFING… WIN NO MATTER WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO TO GET TRUMP
A spokesman for Scott issued a statement that defended the current system.
“Officials elected by Floridians, not judges, have the authority to determine Florida’s clemency process for convicted felons,” spokesman John Tupps said. “This is outlined in Florida’s Constitution and has been in place for more than a century and under multiple gubernatorial administrations.”
Study: Only 10% of D.C. ‘March for Our Lives’ Protesters Were Teenagers Contrary to what’s been reported in many media accounts, the D.C. March for Our Lives crowd was not primarily made up of teenagers. Only about 10 percent of the participants were under 18. The average age of the adults in the crowd was just under 49 years old, which is older than participants at the other marches I’ve surveyed but similar to the age of the average participant at the Million Moms March in 2000, which was also about gun control. http://www.breitbart.com/2nd-amendment/2018/03/28/study-10-d-c-march-lives-protesters-teenagers/
I’M SHOCKED! Survey: 89% at March For Our Lives voted for Hillary, fewer than half were there because of gun control In fact, not only were the marchers not young, they were unusually old with an average just short of 49, which Fisher claims is higher than the average at most rallies she’s measured. The marchers were also overwhelmingly female at 70 percent and well educated, with 72 percent having a B.A. It was, in other words, on average a march by middle-aged professional women. That’s an important voter bloc but not a mirror held up to the electorate’s face https://hotair.com/archives/2018/03/29/survey-89-march-lives-voted-hillary-fewer-half-gun-control/
Maxine Waters Implies Her Calls For Impeachment Are Irresponsible
PELOSI MUST HAVE TOLD HER TO SHUT THE HELL UP
MSNBC’s Ari Melber played a clip of Rep. Waters from 1998 claiming that Republicans were seeking to impeach then-president Bill Clinton over political disagreements.
“I am greatly disappointed in the raw, unmasked, unbridled hatred, and meanness that drives this impeachment coup d’etat,” Waters said at the time. “My Republican friends, what you do here today will long be remembered and recorded in history as one of the most despicable actions ever taken by the Congress of the United States of America.”
Judge cites LePage’s stay at Trump hotel in ruling that lawsuit against president can proceed
He also points to the governor’s subsequent visit with the president in finding that Maryland and the District of Columbia have standing to claim that Trump is violating the Constitution by mixing business interests with his work as president. JUST A WILD GUESS…THEY’RE TRYING TO LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR IMPEACHMENT WHEN THEY TAKE BACK THE MAJORITY IN NOVEMBER
“Plaintiffs have sufficiently alleged that the President is violating the Foreign and Domestic Emoluments Clauses of the Constitution by reason of his involvement with and receipt of benefits from the Trump International Hotel and its appurtenances in Washington, D.C., as well as the operations of the Trump Organization with respect to the same,” Messitte wrote in his 47-page opinion. As supporting evidence, the judge singles out LePage’s visits to the hotel.
SCOTUS Considers Whether Maryland Dems Used Gerrymandering to Their Advantage SCOTUS HAS NEVER OVERTURNED A GERRYMANDERING CASE.
THE DEMOCRATS INTEND TO LITERALLY STEAL THIS ELECTION.
If the trend continues, 2020 “could be a wave election for Democrats,” according to Michael Li, a redistricting expert at the Brennan Center in New York.
Gerrymandering has also been a hot topic in the state of Pennsylvania this year, where the redistricting maps again appear to favor Democrats. The state Supreme Court drew the new maps and, despite an emergency appeal from Republicans, who claimed the court overstepped its authority, the maps were upheld by the Supreme Court. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/cortneyobrien/2018/03/28/gerrymandering-at-the-supreme-court-n2465534
The Supreme Court Issues Its Decision On Trump’s DACA Appeal
In an extraordinary procedural move, the government appealed directly to the Supreme Court. Under normal procedure, the government would challenge Alsup’s order at the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, a principle antagonist to Trump’s ambitions throughout his presidency. Solicitor General Noel Francisco, the government’s Supreme Court lawyer, argued the case required the tribunal’s urgent attention, as Alsup’s decision “requires the government to sanction indefinitely an ongoing violation of federal law being committed by nearly 700,000 aliens.”
The justices rarely grant such requests. http://dailycaller.com/2018/02/26/supreme-court-daca-appeal/

There’s much more than free speech at stake here, though.

Michelle Obama’s upcoming memoir replicates Obama’s road to power to a T As Lifson notes, the Democrats are in bad shape, at least if they run on policies. But if they can galvanize the black vote, which is what they did with Obama, they are in a position to win. They are sure they can’t win if they don’t. What would be more logical than for Michelle Obama to write an identity politics book, in first person, Oprah-style, as a backdrop “narrative” to galvanize those voters? The Obamas always were about “narrative” as a means of concealing their policy objectives by promoting their personas. Obama’s “mind-meld,” and right hand man, after all, was fiction writer and major Ben Rhodes. Ol’ Ben knew more than anyone about creating “narratives.” https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/02/michelle_obamas_upcoming_memoir_replicates_obamas_road_to_power_to_a_t.html#ixzz58F5az0lS

Sarah Huckabee Sanders cops to making a rare mistake and says Trump has not confirmed for WHCD yet – but WILL go to Gridiron

Trump skipped both the Gridiron and the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner last year as he warred with the so-called ‘fake news’
The president’s willingness to go to the Gridiron suggests he may be open to attending the White House Correspondents’ Dinner as well President Obama said a President Trump would bring ‘change’ to the White House, and then this image flashed to the audience of the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner
As country listens to Florida teens, Black Lives Matter youths feel ignored THIS IS THE CRAP IN THE PAPERS I DELIVER EVERY DAY.
The young people of Black Lives Matter are hurt. And they have every right to be.
When they were protesting in the streets of cities across America, much of the country didn’t bother to listen to their message. They were not embraced by the mainstream for their bravery, their determination or resolve to bring attention to reckless police killings that disproportionately impact young African-Americans.
In a tweet last week, Oprah Winfrey said the inspiring youths in Florida reminded her of the “Freedom Riders of the 60s who also said we’ve had ENOUGH and our voices will be heard.” She pledged to match George and Amal Clooney’s $500,000 donation to the youths’ March for Our Lives planned for March 24. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/glanton/ct-met-florida-teens-black-lives-matter-dahleen-glanton-20180223-story.html

Suspected poacher killed, eaten by pack of lions A suspected poacher was fatally mauled and eaten by a pack of lions near a national park in South Africa, leaving behind just the man’s “head and some remains,” police said.
A police spokesman in Limpopo told AFP that a loaded hunting rifle was found near the man’s body early Saturday at a private game park in Hoedspruit, west of Kruger National Park, which contains large numbers of the Big 5 game species — lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant and buffalo.
“It seems the victim was poaching in the game park when he was attacked and killed by lions,” Limpopo police spokesman Moatshe Ngoepe told AFP. “They ate his body, nearly all of it, and just left

My beloved child bride was tending Miss Olivia, who wasn’t feeling well, so I turned in about 8:00PM. Someone locked the bottom door of our apartment building, which is broken and there is no key for, just the deadbolt that all tenants can open. She had to ring the buzzer shortly after 9 and I’ve been up since.
I leave for work in an hour and a half so I thought I’d take a minute to post some things I didn’t get around to yesterday.
One week from today is the showdown in Alabama. Trump has finally given his full support to Judge Moore and the RNC is funding his campaign again. This seems to be a sign they know he’s going to win despite their best efforts to screw him over. The left, though, never gives up. They sense that Roy Moore is heading toward victory.
Alabama voters doubt accusations enough that they may feel comfortable sending a message of contempt for Washington, both D.C. and Post
If there was a turning point in Roy Moore’s political fortunes, it was the press conference Gloria Allred held with accuser Beverly Nelson, who emotionally described what she said was a sexual assault behind a diner at which she worked. That press conference gave Moore two things he needed politically: a chance to make Allred an issue in the campaign, and a piece of physical evidence to attack, the handwriting in the yearbook.
Mitch McConnell Folds on Opposition to Roy Moore: ‘We’re Going to Let the People of Alabama Decide’
“Well, I think — we’re going to let the people of Alabama decide a week from Tuesday who they want to send to the Senate. And then we’ll address the matter appropriately,” McConnell said, insinuating that he would back a Senate Ethics Committee investigation of the allegations against Moore when Moore wins on Dec. 12.
[CtH: Meanwhile, they’re letting Democrats decide IF they want to resign?]
I PREDICT IF MOORE WINS AND McCONNELL REFUSES TO SEAT HIM, THERE WILL BE A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS.
Soros Army in Alabama to Register Convicted Felons to Vote Against Roy Moore
HEY, IT HELPED THE DEMOCRATS WIN IN VIRGINIA.
The aim of the effort has been to get as many felons as possible on the roster before last Monday, the deadline to register in order to vote in Alabama’s Dec. 12 senate special election that pits Republican Roy Moore against Democratic challenger Doug Jones. The man spearheading the campaign has stated outright that his effort is meant to ensure a Democratic victory in Alabama.
The thousands of felons reportedly newly registered over the past few weeks were most likely not included in any recent polling on the Alabama senate race put out by major firms.
[CtH: What does it say about the Democratic Party that they feel confident that FELONS will vote for THEIR candidates?]
Supreme Court Allows Trump’s Full Travel Ban In 7-2 Decision
The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to fully enforce the travel ban by residents from six radical regimes and failed states. The travel ban applies to travelers from Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. And officials from North Korea and Venezuela. Far left Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor dissented.

“Public lands should be for the enjoyment of everyone, not just special interests,” will be the Trump administration’s message in this effort
Utah state leaders Greg Hughes and Wayne Niederhauser thanked President Trump for following through on a promise to voters.
“This is great news for the residents of southern Utah who depend on the use of public lands for their livelihoods and the Native Americans who depend on access to Bears Ears lands for their material and spiritual needs.”

Feinstein: Case ‘Being Put Together’ Against Trump For Obstruction of Justice
Democrat Dianne Feinstein, ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, said on Meet the Press that it is becoming clear that President Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey represents an obstruction of justice — a case she believes special counsel Robert Mueller is now focused on.
Dershowitz Slams Feinstein Over Obstruction Argument: ‘Doesn’t Know What She’s Talking About’
“You cannot charge a president with obstruction of justice for exercising his constitutional power to fire Comey and his constitutional authority to tell the Justice Department who to investigate, who not to investigate,” Dershowitz said during an interview with Fox News. “We have precedents that clearly establish that.”
Puerto Rican Refugees Could Flip Florida, Put Impeachment in Play
I HEARD THIS ON RUSH TODAY… THIS IS FRIGHTENING Remember the big hurricane that wiped out Puerto Rico? The publisher of a newspaper in Puerto Rico is reporting that, by their count, 320,000 Puerto Ricans have immigrated to the United States. Seventy percent of them to Florida. Now, the publisher of the Puerto Rican newspaper says that all of these people are very disappointed in the response of the Trump administration to help Puerto Rico recover. She believes by the end of 2018 there will be nearly 400,000 to 500,000 immigrants — think illegal immigrants — in Florida, and, if 60% of them register Democrat, then Florida ever voting for a Republican presidential candidate may be lost for as long as we can see.
REPORT: Trump to Pull U.S. From U.N. Migration Compact Officials stated that the New York Declaration, a non-binding political declaration unanimously approved in a non-binding resolution in September 2016, “contains numerous provisions that are inconsistent with U.S. immigration and refugee policies and the Trump Administration’s immigration principles.”

Report: FBI Agent Dismissed From Mueller’s Russia Probe Changed Comey’s Language on Clinton to ‘Extremely Careless’ THERE WAS A REASON FOR CHANGING THE WORDING.
The shift from “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless,” which may appear pedestrian at first glance, reflected a decision by the FBI that could have had potentially significant legal implications, as the federal law governing the mishandling of classified material establishes criminal penalties for “gross negligence.”
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, raised questions over why the change was made after receiving documents from the FBI last month, but the identity of who was behind the edit has not been reported until now.
Byron York: In Trump-Russia probe, was it all about the Logan Act?
In short, there’s no doubt the Logan Act, a law dismissed as a joke or an archaic irrelevancy or simply unconstitutional by many legal experts, played a central role in the Obama administration’s aggressive and enormously consequential investigation of its successor.
Democrats began accusing Trump of Logan Act violations in the summer of 2016, immediately after the Republican convention, when Trump sarcastically invited Russia to produce the 30,000-plus emails that Hillary Clinton deleted rather than turn over to investigators. “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Trump said during a July 27 news conference. “I think that you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press — let’s see if that happens, that’ll be nice.”
[CtH: This should read, “It is vital we do something to rebuild the trust we threw away in our non-stop efforts to promote Democrat politicians and policies.”]

How the Democrats Set Up Puerto Rico for Disaster
What New Orleans, Houston and Puerto Rico have in common. We’ve seen this show before.
When there’s a national disaster, neighborhoods have been reduced to rubble, shelters are filled with crying families, and a Republican is in the White House, the Democrats jump into action.
Not to help, but to make political capital from a disaster that they helped cause.
After Hurricane Katrina, the media shrieked that survivors inside the New Orleans Superdome were murdering each other. But there actually wasn’t a single murder in the Superdome. And no, NBC’s Brian Williams never saw any corpses floating past the Ritz-Carlton. The media exaggerated and lied. http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/268026/how-democrats-set-puerto-rico-disaster-daniel-greenfield
