Sometimes Life Stinks

Yesterday morning the blower on our furnace quit. The landlord sent over his HVAC guys, who determined which part they needed. Being an old furnace, there was only one place in town that had it and the landlord decided they wanted too much money, so he had a new furnace installed today. Everything is fine. I go to bed, and when the furnace kicks in it sounds like a tugboat engine, chugging away. After being woke up 3 times, I gave up. That’s why I’m sitting here, typing this nonsense while I wait to go do my newspapers. Sometimes you just can’t win.

Judge Denies $1 Million Funding in Sanctuary Cities CaseI SEE THIS AS A SYMBOLIC RULING, ALBEIT A JOKE BECAUSE A MILLION BUCKS IS NOTHING IN A STATE ECONOMY THE SIZE OF CALI’S. IT DID, HOWEVER, SET THE LIBERALS OFF, AS IT ALWAYS DOES WHEN THEY DON’T GET EVERYTHING THEIR OWN WAY.
SAN FRANCISCO (CN) – A federal judge on Monday refused to order the Trump Administration to pay California $1 million in delayed law enforcement funding it withheld to punish it for becoming a sanctuary state.
“Given the number of open questions concerning the federal government’s positions concerning the provisions of the statutes in question, the relatively minimal injury its delay has caused thus far, and the extraordinary nature of the relief sought, I deny the state’s motion without prejudice,” Orrick wrote.

Denver Refusing to Honor ICE Detainer for Illegal Responsible for Hit-and-Run
EVERY MAJOR URBAN TOILET IS PROTECTING THEIR ILLEGALS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE KEY TO THEIR DREAMS OF A TOTALITARIAN STATE WITH THEM AT THE TOP
The Denver Sheriff’s Department, it turns out, stopped honoring detainer requests back in 2014. They have plenty of company. Perhaps no state has done more to spit in ICE’s face than California. Last week, Oakland, California Mayor Libby Schaaf even encouraged “undocumented citizens” to evade the immigration authorities. In a social media post, she warned the community that ICE agents were planning a raid in the next 24 hours. Her heads up very well may have allowed hundreds of individuals to flee, because when ICE showed up, they found only 232 of the 864 illegal immigrants that were supposedly living there.

Democrats Pitch Bill Creating 50 Percent Tax On Gun, Ammo SalesA group of House Democrats has introduced a bill that would up the taxes on firearms and ammunition to pay for research on “gun violence and its prevention.”
Under the plan, ammunition would see excise taxes increase to 50 percent and firearms to 20 percent. Currently, manufacturers pay a long-running 11 percent excise tax on sporting firearms and ammunition under the Pittman–Robertson Act, which goes to fund conservation efforts such as hunter education programs, public shooting ranges and preserving wildlife habitat. The jump in fees under Davis’ plan would be set aside for public safety grants and research.
But that’s what gun grabbers want to do. They don’t just want to keep people from buying guns. They want to hurt the people who already have them.

CBS Urges Oprah: Run Against Trump Because You ‘Heal and Connect All People’
“Nobody should be convinced to run for the presidency, but I also think you have a very unique ability in terms of healing and connecting all people.”
BITCH, PLEASE
NOTICE HER BESTIE GAYLE KING STARING LOVINGLY AT HER
Co-host Gayle King — who can be forgiven for her bias due to being Winfrey’s best friend — told the media mogul:
“Nobody should be convinced to run for the presidency, but I also think you have a very unique ability in terms of healing and connecting all people.”
Not so humbly, Oprah affirmed:
“I have great compassion for people. I do that.”
As part of her pitch, King referenced the late poet Maya Angelou:
“What do you think Maya would say? It’s one of these times I really wish Maya was here. What do you think she would say? You would certainly ask her.”

NY Gov.: When you die and go to heaven God asks, ‘Have you been a good progressive?’
I DOUBT YOU’LL HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT, CHAMP
The Democratic Party may not need God in their platform, but according to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, progressives are literally on the side of the angels.
“I believe when you go to the Pearly Gates and our Lord says, ‘Have you been a good progressive?’ He says, ‘Show me the list of what you got done,’” Cuomo said.
“And I have accomplished more progressive results in this state than have been accomplished by any administration and I believe that is factually, objectively irrefutable,” he added.

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”
Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a statement Friday following the release of the controversial Nunes memo alleging FISA abuse by the FBI and Department of Justice.
“I have great confidence in the men and women of this Department. But no Department is perfect.”

The Memo Reveals the Coup against America
The memo has been released, now it’s time to release everything.
The memo isn’t treasonous. It reveals a treasonous effort by the Democrats to use our intelligence agencies to rig an election and overturn the will of the voters.

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

House-Passed Gov’t Funding Bill Fails In Senate Triggering Gov’t Shutdown

The Senate failed to pass a cloture vote on a House-passed continuing resolution late Friday evening, just before government funding levels were set to expire.

Democrats withheld their votes over a lack of an agreement on a legislative fix to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program — the Obama-era initiative that extended temporary legal status to foreign nationals who illegally entered the country as minors — leaving GOP leadership short of the 60 votes needed to send the measure to the president’s desk.

Crazy Pelosi Brags About Protecting DREAMERS After Senate Democrats Block Funding in Favor of Illegal Aliens

The House budget resolution failed a cloture vote in the Senate on a largely party line vote, 50 to 49.

Tonight, on the eve of the first anniversary of his inauguration, President Trump earned an ‘F’ for failure in leadership.

“President Trump and Congressional Republicans’ obsession with passing a tax scam to benefit the wealthiest and corporations has blinded them to their responsibilities to the American people. Despite controlling the House, Senate and White House, the Republicans are so incompetent, so negligent that they couldn’t get it together to keep government open.

Flashback to when Obama weaponized 2013 government shutdown

High profile national monuments and parks were “Barrycaded” so that TV cameras could show veterans and others being turned away.

“I’ve been through some of these before,” he said. “The Democrats are opposing a bill that they don’t oppose! … They don’t oppose anything in the bill, but they are opposing the bill.”

“I just want to let everybody know,” he said about the potential government shutdown:

“We do not want this, we do not want a shutdown, but if Mr. Schumer insists on it, he is in a position to force this on the American people.”

Jim Acosta of CNN embarrassed himself by suggesting Republicans could avoid a shutdown because they control the House, Senate and Presidency. He knew, of course, that 60 votes are needed in the Senate.

Democrats have a) have longed called government shutdowns irresponsible, directing their attacks at Republicans; b) they’ve said that tying immigration to budgetary matters is just an exercise in chaos. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that in 2013 during the debt ceiling negotiations. The latter is the audible here. Democrats want a DACA deal first. It’s dealing with greedy, spoiled children when it comes to the Democrats. They’re getting everything they want.

Russia! Russia! Russia!

2018_01 Russian Dossier family tree

On Thursday, January 18, 2018, the House Intelligence Committee quietly voted to make a memo documenting abuse of the FISA program available to fellow House members.

Shortly afterwards, Rep. DeSantis (R-FL) said the material is “deeply troubling” and raises serious questions about the ‘Russian collusion’ investigation.

Investigative reporter Sara Carter said the FISA memo is so explosive it could end Mueller’s investigation.

Hillary Clinton is in the middle of this, because her campaign paid for the phony Russia dossier which was then used to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on her political opponent, then-candidate Donald Trump.

GOP Reps are demanding the memo be made public because Americans deserve to know just how involved Hillary Clinton was with the FBI during the 2016 presidential election.

Sean Hannity: Based on today’s events I have a message tonight for Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Your witch hunt is now over. Time to close the doors…

Shut Down Showdown

No, not THAT shut down. THIS shut down:

House Passes Short-Term Spending Bill, Legislation Faces Uphill Battle In Senate

The House passed a continuing resolution (CR) along party lines Thursday after GOP leadership struck a last-minute deal with the House Freedom Caucus ensuring they had the votes.

Following the vote House GOP leadership called on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to pass the measure.

“Sen. Schumer, do not shut down the federal government. Do not jeopardize funding for our military and for our national security. Do not jeopardize funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program,” House Speaker Paul Ryan told reporters Thursday evening. “It is risky. It is reckless. And it is wrong.”

Democrats Just Admitted Their Goal is to Shutdown the Government

But according to a Democrat aide who spoke to NBC News, the goal is for Democrats to come up with enough votes to stop the funding measure from going through. In other words, they just admitted their goal is to shutdown the government, not to avert it as they’ve been claiming. They’ve also put the brakes on any kind of compromise that doesn’t include amnesty for illegal aliens currently covered by DACA.

3.6 Million DREAMERS in US — Will Flip Florida, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina From Red to Blue!

THIS IS WHY THE DEMOCRATS ARE PUSHING SO HARD FOR AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS.

A recent study of DACA Dreamers found that most of these new Democrat voters reside in Republican states.  Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and Democrats are determined to pass amnesty for this group of illegal aliens.

DACA amnesty could give Arizona, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina to the Democrat Party.  And then once a Democrat is elected they will open the borders to millions more third world immigrants to vote Democrat.

This is what Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and Democrats want to happen.

GOP Senators Send Trump ‘Amnesty-Or-Shutdown’ Threat

THIS PATHETIC LITTLE PISSANT IS TRYING TO LEAD HIS OWN PARTY TO RUIN.

The hostage-taking is being fronted by a group of GOP legislators, led by Sen. Jeff Flake and Sen. Lindsey Graham, who announced Wednesday they would not allow 2018 funding for the Pentagon until Trump approves an amnesty, saying:

To the defense hawks, the only way you’re going to get your money is to deal with immigration rationally.

Democrats and their media allies are eager to let Graham and his GOP allies take the leading role in this shutdown-or-amnesty fight.

Pro-amnesty Democrats are minimizing their visibility by pretending they will oppose a budget deal until the Congress funds various spending programs—such as community health centers, and disaster aid—which the GOP majority is largely willing to fund

USA Today: Amnesty Debate Is About 3.6 Million ‘Dreamers,’ not Just 800,000 DACA Illegals

The article’s headline was: “There are 3.6M ‘DREAMers’ — a number far greater than commonly known.”

Many pro-amnesty legislators — and many newspaper outlets — routinely conflate the very different ‘DACA’ and ‘Dreamer’ terms. This conflation allows them to suggest that the Democrats’ huge DREAM Act amnesty for 3.6 million illegals — and eventually, their parents and chain-migration relatives — is a smaller amnesty for the ‘DACA’ illegals, whose estimated population ranges from 670,000 to 800,000.

Dems Want a Shutdown To Get Off the Subject of the Tax Cuts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxWW874MXYI

Just wait until government workers are sent home, when national monuments are temporarily shuttered, when Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon are closed. We will see all the sad stories on TV about how the evil, heartless Republicans shutdown the government and ruined these people’s lives. It’s only a matter of time and the media is champing at the bit right now to hammer Republicans.

[CtH: Right. While in 2013, Obama went out of his way to block access to open air monuments by HIRING people to put up fences and guard them, because God Forbid an Honor Flight of WWII vets could wander around their own monument.]

NOT THIS TIME, SPARKY!

Trump Admin Won’t Hold Parks And Monuments Hostage If Government Shuts Down

During the last government shutdown in 2013, the Obama administration completely closed down more than 400 parks and monuments across the country. The administration blamed the shutdown and forced furlough of 20,000 U.S. Parks Service employees on the closures.

The move was widely criticized by Republicans accusing then-President Barack Obama of unnecessarily making the shutdown more upsetting to Americans than was necessary.

Trump WH: We’re Not Going to Politicize a Shutdown the Way Obama Did

Short called it “incredibly frustrating” that the regular appropriations process doesn’t work and Congress continues to lurch from one continuing resolution to another. “We submitted a budget to Congress last February; we’re now in mid-January without a spending bill,” Short said.

Senate Democrats have refused to proceed to normal appropriations bills, all 12 of which were passed on time by the House.

Short noted that appropriations bills need 60 Senate votes to pass, so 10 Democrats would need to join Republicans Friday to keep the government funded for another month. “So the reality is that those ten votes we need to get to 60 is what’s basically bringing the government to a shutdown and stopping funding of our troops.”

Trump’s Leadership: Generosity of Spirit

Editorial of The New York Sun | December 20, 2017

A glimpse of President Trump’s modus operandi is afforded by his decision to gather the Republican legislators so he could thank them for their role in passing the pro-growth tax cuts that will now going into law with his signature.

Many of the congressmen and women had been working on tax reforms for years.

“I want,” said Mr. Trump, gesturing to the scores who worked on the bill and were gathered on the White House steps, “to have them come up and get the glamor and the glory.”

This generosity of spirit is a feature of Mr. Trump’s leadership that one rarely sees acknowledged in the Democratic Party papers and contrasts with his gruff reputation.

Wait, what? You mean the world DIDN’T end?!

Nancy Pelosi called the GOP tax plan bill, “Armageddon.”

But the Tax Foundation says it is pro-growth and will

  • increase revenues by $600 billion,
  • lift the GDP by 1.7%, boost wages by 1.5%, and
  • add 339,000 full-time jobs to the economy.

Hardly the end of the world.

2017_12 GOP tax cuts toon by Ramirez

I got this in an email from Heritage Action for America:

The 2016 election provided a once in a generation opportunity for tax reform. And thanks to your efforts, the Republican-controlled Congress has delivered a huge accomplishment for the conservative movement and America as a whole.

Thirteen months ago, the American people spoke with a firm and resounding message — they demanded sweeping tax reform and lower taxes for everyone!

And this time — Congress listened. Republicans in Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which will help middle class families keep more dollars in their pockets, small business will get the chance to grow and thrive, and large business are now able to bring jobs back to America and increase the wages of workers.

This video is really worth watching.

DEMOCRAT SPEECHES: “Republicans just want you to die!”

“Republicans Pass Tax Reform, Everyone DEAD” by Ben Shapiro

Wednesday dawned to the horrifying cacophony of howling dogs mourning their dead masters – men, women and children killed in a mass slaughter by the Senate’s passage of a rather ordinary tax bill from the Republicans. Yes, the Republicans had been warned that their plan would cause a symphony of darkness to play across the land. They’d been warned that the streets would be strewn with bodies. Worse, they’d been warned that those dead people would then move to Chicago and vote Democratic.

But even Republicans, who are also dead, were shocked to find themselves inhabiting the bowels of Hell – in particular, inhabiting a special place therein reserved for women who did not vote for Hillary Clinton and voters who did not stand with Roy Moore.

And all of this thanks to President Trump, who had pitched the tax cut by stating that he merely wanted what was best in life: to crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

It is somewhat awkward writing this piece from the afterlife. It’s even more awkward writing this for a news site that exists on the internet – you remember, the internet, that thing that used to exist before Republicans repealed net neutrality, resulting in the annihilation of entire populations and the end of the internet itself.

And it’s supremely awkward to write it from underwater, given that President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Accords doomed huge cities to the realm of Aquaman.

What makes things even crazier is that everything is on fire despite being underwater, since Trump’s decision to move the American embassy to Jerusalem angered the Arab street so much.

By my count, I’ve died several dozen times since President Trump’s election, according to the warnings issued by media and Democrats. Yet I’ve never been able to rest in peace, because dead Republicans just keep on passing legislation that affects dead Americans and dead Democrats and dead media members keep resisting dead Donald Trump.

It turns out that the afterlife looks exactly like regular life.

Except, of course, that Justin Bieber hasn’t released any new songs in the Great Beyond. So that’s nice.
