He Had Me, Then He Lost Me

Mitch McConnell has been described as a turtle. He reminds me of another reptile…a snake.
My memory is not so short that I’ve forgotten the way he treated the Tea Party members who were elected in 2010. How he bragged about destroying them. He’s the ultimate DC insider. He’s almost never stood up to his buddies the democrats when there was a deal to be made and he could get something out of it. Almost never. Then he starts sounding like Trump is helping him find a little courage.
McConnell’s Decision To Block Obama’s SCOTUS Pick Looks Brilliant Right Now
When news broke that Scalia had died unexpectedly Feb. 13, McConnell stunned the White House by almost immediately releasing a statement declaring the Senate would block any Obama nominee to replace him on the bench.
“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice,” McConnell said in a statement less than an hour after the news of Scalia’s death broke. “Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President.”

THEN I SAW THIS:
McConnell: Oh Yeah, We’re Going To Move To Repeal Obamacare
I’LL BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT
Senate Republicans, flush with victory and defying the odds, have maintained their majority in the upper chamber and vowed to move quickly on repealing Obamacare. Senate Majority Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said, “It’s pretty high on our agenda as you know. I would be shocked if we didn’t move forward and keep our commitment to the American people.”

HE’S SAYING THE RIGHT THINGS, BUT THEN THERE’S THIS:
McConnell hints against nuke option to kill Dem filibusters
IF HE ALLOWS THE DEMOCRATS TO FILIBUSTER TRUMP WILL NEVER GET A CONSTITUTIONALIST APPOINTED TO SCOTUS.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST REASONS HE WON TUESDAY.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell hinted Wednesday that he doesn’t support the controversial idea of changing Senate rules to kill Democratic filibusters, and instead indicated that this move might be seen as an overreach by Republicans.
When Democrats ran the Senate, they changed the rules to allow for simple majority votes for judicial nominees, but not Supreme Court nominees, which can still be filibustered. But despite speculation that Republicans will take this next step, McConnell indicated some resistance to it when asked.
The option of ending filibusters on high court nominees has been raised because Republicans have blocked President Obama’s nominee, Merrick Garland, for months now. As a result, Democrats are expected to block Donald Trump’s nominee once he takes office next year, and some Republicans say another rule change is needed to ensure the nominee can get through.

There is much to do and not much time to get it done. In two years there will be another fight and nobody knows what the landscape will look like. Suffice to say Trump is no weak-kneed moderate pansy.

HADN’T PLANNED ON PUTTING THIS HERE, BUT IT JUST FIT
Trump: The Left Just Lost The War On Climate Change
The Global Warming/Climate Change Hoax is the biggest scam ever perpetrated on this planet. It is a socialist scheme to redistribute wealth and control populations by restricting their access to abundant, affordable energy. Myron Ebell would be an excellent choice for EPA Administrator.
But with a climate skeptic running the most powerful nation in the world, the $1.5 trillion per annum climate change industry is going to start to unravel big time. A Trump presidency is likely to be good news for fossil fuels (and heavy industry that needs cheap energy to survive); and very bad news for renewables.

What does Trump’s victory mean for energy policy? ‘Climate sanity has been restored to the US’
Real estate mogul Donald Trump has won the presidential election, and that likely means the Obama administration’s global warming agenda will be massively scaled back or scrapped altogether.
cdbnxelxeaemvrx_zpskl3npn0tTrump, a Republican, has promised to cut the EPA, scrap the Paris climate treaty and rollback rules holding back U.S. energy production.
Trump’s win comes as United Nations delegates meet in Morocco to discuss how to implement a major global warming agreement hashed out in Paris last year. Trump promised to tear up the agreement, and scrap the main way Obama planned on meeting his climate pledge.

THIS IS WHY I HATED HAVING TO DO AN OUTLINE FOR MY WRITING IN SCHOOL. I COULD NEVER STICK TO THE SCRIPT.
The Nuclear Option: Welcome, Democrats, to the Revolution
Tens of millions of voters cast ballots Tuesday for Hillary Clinton. Except for a relative handful of wealthy and connected people, nobody actually wanted to vote for her.
She is the most corrupt, compromised, dishonest, self-dealing, delusional and unlikeable candidate perhaps to ever run for president.
I used to wonder why President Obama would want to hand his legacy over to such fake and felonious monster. Then I realized that he doesn’t really care about anything but himself and for as long as she is around, people will miss him.
Anyway, Mrs. Clinton’s campaign was about everything and anything and, in the end, nothing.
In the Republican revolution, Mr. Trump gave voice to voters who have been ignored by GOP leaders for decades. He gave them a voice and together they changed the party’s stance on immigration, trade, economics, national security and globalism.
He uprooted and altered the very language the party spoke. The whispered tiptoeing of political correctness was slain.
The same revolution that exploded the Republican Party this year is still boiling inside the Democratic Party. Eventually, it will explode. And the longer it seethes, the more devastating the explosion will be.

Until America will keep its date with the executioner. Its death will be by lethal injection by a cackling liar posing as a human being.
Obama DOJ: Handmaiden of Clinton Corruption
How the Clinton machine is perverting U.S. federal law enforcement to shield Hillary.
The Obama Department of Justice has been corruptly aiding and abetting the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, to escape legal accountability for her actions. From Attorney General Loretta Lynch on down through the Justice Department’s political ranks, the Department has blocked the FBI from searching for the truth and following the evidence of potential criminality to its logical conclusion.

Senators Slam Obama For Misleading Other Countries To Pass UN Climate Treaty

We are concerned the administration has not been forthright in acknowledging the legal limitations of the president’s domestic climate actions,” Republicans on the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works wrote in a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry.
OBAMA HAS NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED ANY LIMITATIONS TO HIS AMBITIONS WHATSOEVER. THE LAW IS WHAT HE SAYS IT IS. HILLARY WILL BE NO DIFFERENT.

Kaine: Senate Democrats Would Nuke the Filibuster to Confirm Hillary’s SCOTUS Nominees
After using that tool to stall and defeat Republican appointees for years, Democrats blew up that precedent in the name of advancing President Obama’s agenda. Now Kaine says they’ll go even further if given the chance. Voters in a handful of states featuring major Senate races will determine whether Schumer and friends get that chance.

Endless scandal is a given if Hillary wins the White House
IT WILL GIVE THE WHORES POSING AS REPORTERS SOMETHING TO WRITE ABOUT
Sources with “intimate knowledge” of the probes told Baier the FBI has turned up “a lot of evidence” — and that the probes “will continue to, likely, an indictment.”
If, that is, they’re not quashed by higher-ups at the Justice Department.
But the Journal also noted that top Justice Department and FBI officials have tried to rein in that probe — notably by nixing any subpoenas. Some agents say they were told flatly to “stand down.”

Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Manager “Not Concerned” About His Candidate’s Historic Untrustworthiness

The Bill Clinton-Loretta Lynch meeting — even worse than we thought
It would seem rather inappropriate [for Attorney General Lynch] to be meeting with someone without staff if the person is not just the husband of a subject of an FBI investigation, but actually a subject (or head of a subject) under FBI investigation.

While You Were sleeping

The people you elected to office were busily conspiring with the alleged opposite side to steal our constitutional rights right out from under us. The first 4 proposals were all voted down, but the liberals are moving forward with dogged determination. They sense a chance to profit from the mass murders committed by criminals to rob law-abiding citizens of their rights. They always win because they never stop attacking. And our side won’t fight back.

Get your bottle of anti-gun liberal bullsh*t

Senate shoots down ALL 4 gun control proposals; see final tallies


The Senate voted down four gun amendments tacked onto a Department of Justice spending bill Monday evening.

The measures – two introduced by Democrats and two by Republicans – were attached in the wake of the Orlando terror attack, which left 49 people dead and many more injured at a gay night club.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley’s amendment was the first to be rejected in a 53-47 vote. It would have allocated more funds to the National Criminal Instant Background Check System and added mental health to the list of components for background checks.

Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut’s amendment to expand universal background checks was the next to be rejected in a 44-56 vote. Murphy had filibustered for nearly 15 hours on June 15 in an attempt to gain traction on the bill.

Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn’s amendment went down in a 53-47 vote and would have required the attorney general to investigate any gun purchase made by someone on the terrorist watch list.

The final vote of the evening, a measure introduced by California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, went down in a 47-53 vote. It would have allowed the attorney general to stop a prospective buyer from purchasing a weapon if there was “reasonable belief” it would be used for acts of terror.

Senate To Vote On Another, Compromise Gun Control Bill

SUSAN COLLINS AND LINDA GRAHAMNESTY OUT FRONT.LEADING THE BETRAYAL.
ANY COMPROMISE TO OUR CONSTITUTION RIGHTS IS A DEFEAT… AND THEY WILL HAND IT TO OBAMA AND THE SOCIALISTS. MARK MY WORDS.

Senate Republican leaders said Tuesday they’ll soon bring a compromise gun control bill to the floor, after lawmakers defeated four partisan gun measures in response to the latest in a string of mass shootings.

GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has pledged to hold a vote on legislation sponsored by Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, as early as this week. It would empower federal authorities to block gun purchases by people who appear on the “no-fly” list or who are on a “selectee” list that requires them to receive extra scrutiny before flying.

House Dems Go Full ‘Occupy’, Holding Sit-In In Congress To Get Vote On ‘No Fly List’ Gun Ban…Update: Rep. Lewis: Do It For The Children

THEY SEE A CHANCE TO DECIDE WHO GETS TO HAVE A GUN AND WHO DOESN’T.
AND THEY WANT IT BAD.

THEY PROBABLY HAVEN’T HAD A SIT-IN SINCE THEIR DAYS PROTESTING THE VIET NAM WAR


I’M PISSED OFF BECAUSE MY HEAD STILL LOOKS LIKE A PENIS

They want to claim it’s ‘for the children’, but they never actually pose any real solutions that would actually help ‘the children’. Would the no fly list ban do one blessed thing to stop the mass shootings in Chicago? Or any random mentally ill shooter? No.

“We have turned deaf ears to the blood of the innocent and the deaths in our nation,” he said. “Mr, Speaker, where is the heart of this body. Where is our soul? How many more mothers, how many more fathers have to share tears of grief before we decide to do anything?”

Shortly after Lewis spoke, the Democratic lawmakers sat down in the well of the House

MSNBC Host Grows Angry After Being Schooled on Guns

MSNBC host Thomas Roberts grew angry after being explained basics on guns and gun-free zones by Larry Pratt, the executive director emeritus of Gun Owners of America, in a tense exchange Monday.

Pratt laid out the difference between so-called military-style weapons and ones actually used by the public. He also argued that gun-free zones, such as at the scene of the terrorist attack in Orlando, were the cause of such high death tolls as no innocent person could respond to the terrorist by firing on them.

CNN Depicts ‘History-Making’ Hillary Clinton As Glowing ‘Golden God’
CNN used some very noticeable video editing to transfigure Hillary Clinton on Wednesday’s New Day. Correspondent Jeff Zeleny ran footage from the Democratic presidential candidate’s victory speech on Tuesday night that transformed Mrs. Clinton into a glowing figure. He hyped how Mrs. Clinton was “savoring a triumph in her long Democratic primary fight — exactly eight years after extinguishing her first trailblazing campaign.”

THE OBJECTIVE, UNBIASED MEDIA DOING THEIR JOB

Clintons Succeed: Networks Blacklist Clinton Exposé Author From Interviews
MEDIA DOES ITS JOB PROTECTING THIS REPULSIVE SOW


A breaking development published by Drudge Report reveals that the Hillary Clinton campaign has worked tirelessly to persuade the major networks to blacklist former Secret Service officer Gary Byrne — author of the Clinton expose Crisis of Conscience — from appearing on any broadcast. Full stop.

In the spirit of objectivity, could Byrne’s book and the allegations made therein be false, or contrived only for personal and political gain? Of course, but then all the more reason for media to “vet” him in the public square. You know — do their job.

To the Left, however, just like with the rewritten — I mean,”redacted” — 9-11 transcript of Omar Mateen’s terrorist rampage — it is more politically expedient to bury the information altogether.

We Never Had A Chance

The univac has crashed twice today wanting to update software I have no idea about. All I know is I tried updating a malware program once and wound up importing stuff I couldn’t delete. I had to get my now-ex techhie to do it. So if it dies in the middle of something you’ll know why.

ON TO THE WHINING

In the span of about two days our elected representatives went from ‘no judicial appointments until after the election’ to ‘we’ll give the nominee a hearing.’ There was no doubt in anyone’s mind they’d fold like a cheap suit, I just hoped it would take a little longer before they waved the white flag of surrender.

GOP Showing Signs Of Beginning To Back Down From Pledge To Block Obama SCOTUS Pick
The Golfer-In-Chief took time from his busy recreational foray to hold a “press conference” with hand-picked reporters asking hand-picked questions. He made it clear he’s going to get the communist he wants to finish off the country he despises.
He didn’t even bother to put on a tie.

The first rumor was it would be a Hindu named Sri Srinivasan
Obama nominated to D.C. Circuit & may nominate now was confirmed on a 97-0 vote in 2013. McConnell, Cruz, Rubio voted yes

Like all flaming liberals,he would pretend to be moderate and say all the right things until he was confirmed.
NOW COMES A MORE LIKELY SCENARIO:
Projection: Loretta Lynch ‘Likely’ To Be Obama’s SCOTUS Nominee

http://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2016/02/16/are-you-ready-forjustice-loretta-lynch-n2119962

The most revered and deliberative court will be reduced to Stevie B. and the Four Bitches. An old crone, a ‘wise Latina’, a Jewish dyke and a female Eric Holder. All given to Obama on a silver platter by the worthless trash who call themselves republicans. It’s certain the most vulnerable GOP senators will raise a stink, but they may have underestimated the firestorm it would ignite from a population that’s already fed up with the lies, the betrayals and the collusion.
Democrat voters will accept anything from their candidates. Lies, hypocrisy, corruption. It doesn’t matter as long as the free stuff keeps coming. Democrats are elected on a platform of governmental control of everything, taxation on a shrinking middle class, overt race-baiting and the wholesale slaughter of the unborn. They keep their promises.
Republicans are the polar opposite. They promise reform, smaller government, less regulation, the sanctity of life. But when they get to DC it all goes by the wayside and they join their colleagues for dinner parties, vacations on some big donors’ money, and making empty promises until it’s re-election time and they have to pretend to be conservative again. See: John McCain.
Our liberties will evaporate with every new court edict and we can do nothing about it. We never had a chance.

IT’S FUN TO F**K 32O MILLION PEOPLE AND GET AWAY WITH IT

I’ve Lived Too Long

There was a republican debate last night. From what I read, it got pretty contentious. In the end, it really won’t matter much. The cancer known as The Great Society that was inflicted on us by Lyndon Johnson has spread to all corners. The country was so strong, it took decades to succumb to the evil of socialism. First, breaking up the family by replacing the father with a welfare check. Then came free love, drug use became popular and to a large extent accepted. The leftists who protested the Vietnam War and spit on returning soldiers are now democrat politicians, newspaper editors, and college professors. They have done yeoman’s work spreading the disease with help from a union of teachers more concerned with tenure than actually teaching. Poor kids are trapped in failing schools because the liberals want no part of charter schools where a poor kid could have a chance of breaking the grip of dependency that keeps the left in control of everything.

Still, we managed to barely keep our heads above the rising floodwaters of taxation, regulation, and the terminal disease known as Barack Hussein Obama. I had hoped that by the time the communists took control of the Supreme Court I wouldn’t be here to see it. That hope was dashed yesterday with the passing of Antonin Scalia. I’m sure Barack got a diamond-hard erection when he found out he will now complete his sorry legacy with the permanent shift of the Supreme Court for the rest of time. Exploding deficits, nationalized healthcare, 100 million on the government dole, flooding the country with enough illegal voters-in-waiting for a permanent democrat tyranny, the rise of Islamic terrorism worldwide, and the forced participation of Christians in the debauchery of a homosexual lifestyle.

If you think you know how deep into the sewer the leftards can sink, you’re not even close. If you’ve read any comments already, I’m sorry. If you haven’t, consider yourself lucky. I’ll never post any of it here, I love the people too much. It is beyond vile. The DNC is already fundraising off his death. Hillary made the comment that republicans would “dishonor” the Constitution if they didn’t give Obama what he wants. If anybody embodies dishonor, it’s the Clintons. Obama plans to name a successor shortly, probably within a few weeks. Then the charade will begin. McConnell is claiming there will not be a vote until after a new president is elected. The whiny little pissant Harry Reid is already complaining about how awful it would be to delay the vote. Remember, he’s the one who unilaterally changed the rules from a super majority to a simple majority to force through hundreds of Barry’s hand-picked stooges for the courts. We all know how that’s going to end up. I had a number of links, but I’ve decided not to post any at this time. I’m having surgery on my other eye tomorrow, so it may be a time before I post again.

Ben Shapiro,writing for Breitbart had the same notion as I did on hearing the news yesterday:

scalia

Antonin Scalia’s Death Could Mark End of Constitution
Unlike Kennedy, Scalia represented a consistent vote for a Constitution beyond modern progressive power politics. But with his death, President Obama now has the power to appoint a fifth justice to join hard-left social engineers Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. If the Republican Senate allows President Obama to select Scalia’s successor, the left will have a complete monopoly on the Supreme Court. Within the next few years, Citizens United will be overturned, restoring limits on free speech; the Supreme Court will render the Second Amendment meaningless by reinterpreting the right to bear arms as a non-personal right; freedom of religion will be made subservient to same-sex marriage and abortion priorities; the death penalty will be ruled unconstitutional; unions will be allowed to continue confiscating the dollars of people who disagree with them politically; redistricting along leftist lines will return. Scalia ensured that the Supreme Court wasn’t a transformative institution; now it will become the chief tool in the left’s arsenal.

It’s a sad commentary on the state of conservative politics that the only thing standing between the United States and the death of its founding document was a brilliant 79-year-old jurist. But unless Republicans stand up on their hind legs now, that will certainly be the case.

Democrat Abortion Whores

On August 3, 2015, forty-six U.S. Senators voted “No” to defunding Planned Parenthood. All but one of them has taken campaign money from Planned Parenthood.

Oddly, the same people on the Left who think the Koch Brothers are a blight on democracy are just fine with Planned Parenthood giving them millions to get into office and stay there.

Political Party Control in D.C.

I just updated my graphics file showing which party had dominance during which sessions of Congress.

114th congress - party control

My Facebook album of History of Political Party Control graphics:

It’s a handy shortcut for arguing facts with Leftists who like to give Clinton credit for Republican accomplishments and blame Bush for Democrat atrocities.  Laws have to be passed by THREE bodies — the House, the Senate, and the President.  Whichever party dominates TWO (or three) of these is responsible for policy and its consequences.

Democrats stomp their constitutionally illiterate feet

2015_01 12 Petition to remove Cruz

The White House “Make A Petition” thing is real, as is this particular petition demanding that President Obama remove Ted Cruz from his new appointment as Chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Science and Space.

Sadly for the poorly educated framers and signers of this petition, the President of the U.S. has exactly zero authority in this matter. Since each party assigns its own members to the various committees and each committee then distributes the assigned members among the subcommittees, Obama could have some influence on the assignment of Democrats. But Senator Cruz is a Republican.

As to the claim that Cruz is unqualified for the position due to being “scientifically illiterate” (which is Democrat code for “he doesn’t believe climate change is a threat to humanity”), it doesn’t make all that much difference here. The Senate Subcommittee on Science and Space only makes recommendations, which must then be approved by the entire Commerce Committee before being reported to the Senate, which must then vote on them.

Methinks the REAL function of this ridiculous petition is for the DNC to harvest names and contact info of potential donors. Me-also-thinks it’s highly unlikely to net them any new names, a situation about which I shall now weep great big scientific crocodile tears.
