Of course not. We all remember the fake Benghazi investigation run by the oh-so-disappointing Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., with the fake blessing of the House leadership. Big talk. No action. It’s all a con game by Republican swamp dwellers who want to convince voters they are getting something done while making sure there is no chance of upsetting the apple cart. This gambit smells like the rotten work of phony conservative Paul Ryan, who is ending his term as House speaker with virtually no accomplishments for the Republican agenda.
As the incoming chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Graham will have the power to do what Goodlatte can’t do — hold Democrats’ feet to the fire and bring to light the true story of Hillary Clinton’s illegal, immoral and unethical attempt to subvert the 2016 presidential election by hijacking the powers of the executive branch in her own partisan service.
I’m not holding my breath because, like every conservative, I have been serially abused by the Republican leadership of Congress, and I no longer believe any of their promises that this time it will be different.
$21 TRILLION of Pentagon financial transactions “could not be traced, documented, or explained.”
$21T in Pentagon accounting errors. Medicare for All costs ~$32T.
That means 66% of Medicare for All could have been funded already by the Pentagon.
And that’s before our premiums.

Wow. You claim $21 Trillion in Pentagon Waste? The entire Pentagon budget from 1789-2018 has totaled $18 trillion,
Come on, This is embarrassing.

For those wondering:
In the original study, $21 trillion refers to transfers back-and-forth between accounts. So the same $1 can be counted 1000’s of times. It *does not* mean that $21 trillion in total spending was mis-spent.
Associated Press Pays Touching Tribute To George H.W. Bush: ‘He Wasn’t Hitler’
“George H.W. Bush: he wasn’t Adolf Hitler, at least that we know of,” the headline published to AP’s social media accounts read. The linked story had more kind words to say: “Bush did not appear to actually be Adolf Hitler, despite much work on our part attempting to corroborate these accusations. He also was not Genghis Khan or Charles Manson, as far as we can tell.”
“Although we didn’t see eye to eye on politics, I’ll go so far as to say that he did not seem to Satan,” said one political rival. “I mean, who really can say? I guess I don’t know for sure. But I never saw horns or a tail.”
AP was forced to pull the headline claiming Bush wasn’t Hitler after leftist commenters loudly complained about its inaccuracy.
CARAVAN: Tijuana official: “We had to stop the Mexican people and the caravan from STONING one another.” No city can handle such a massive influx of migrants.
BUILD THE WALL: On Monday, the Supreme Court said it would not hear a challenge brought by environmental groups against the Trump administration concerning the construction of the border wall. The complaint alleged construction of the border wall would violate environmental laws and threaten endangered species. In 1996, President Clinton signed a law allowing the “the executive branch with authority to waive environmental laws if those laws impede construction of barriers and roads near the border.”
SECRET SERVICE: Democrat vs Republican protectees — Secret Service agents say that Republicans Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush treated them with respect and consideration, while Democrats Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and others did the opposite. Al Gore told them he did not want to be bothered greeting them or seeing them. And Hillary Clinton, who continues to be protected by the Secret Service, is so nasty to her agents that they consider it a form of punishment to be assigned to her detail.
#METOO: Pence is suddenly cool — According to the feminazis, it’s sexist for men (who are all rapists) to avoid putting themselves into situations where they could be falsely accused of sexual harassment. Consequently, many businessmen are opting to protect themselves by adopting Vice President Mike Pence’s rule of not dining alone with female colleagues. This just might not be good for the careers of said females. But hey, the guys didn’t start the whole “believe the woman without evidence” thing.
MUELLER: Monday Updates — Journalist Paul Sperry released a report accusing Robert Mueller of withholding evidence from the court that would exonerate President Trump from the latest accusations of Russian collusion during the 2016 election. And conservative author Jerome Corsi filed a “criminal and ethics complaint” against Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team, accusing investigators of trying to bully him into giving “false testimony” against President Trump.
IRELAND: Conscience Protection — About 300 doctors attended a meeting by the Irish College of General Practitioners EGM in Dublin to discuss the government’s plans to legalize abortions starting Jan. 1, 2019. Dozens of them walked out after complaining that leaders have been ramming through the pro-abortion legislation without consulting the medical community or giving it ample time to prepare. Many doctors also fear being forced to help abort unborn babies against their consciences. Dr. Andrew O’Regan, speaking for the GPs who walked out, said the meeting Sunday did nothing to address their concerns
PRAGER UNIVERSITY: General Chuck Wald –– Why Does America Spend So Much on Israel? With so much that must be done at home in the United States, why does America send so much of its resources to Israel? It’s a fair question, but according to U.S. Gen Chuck Wald, America doesn’t spend enough on Israel. Watch to understand why.
POPE FRANCIS: Pope Francis said that the Church had to be “demanding” in choosing candidates for the priesthood. “The question of homosexuality is a very serious one,” said the pontiff, adding that those responsible for training priests must make sure candidates are “humanly and emotionally mature” before they are ordained. “For this reason, the Church urges that persons with this rooted tendency not be accepted into ministry or consecrated life.”
DRY BAR COMEDY: Corey Rodrigues — Not a Real Man. Then there’s MY marriage, which is totally tool based. You want to make us happy, give us tools! When we got married, he had a 20 oz hammer, which is the hefty, he-man tool for jobs like … roofing houses. I had a 12 oz hammer, which is a very nice, lady-sized tool for jobs like … hanging pictures. So, he sees my hammer. And he LAUGHS at it. Then, he STEALS it. After that, he stole my little circular saw. He’s lucky to be alive.
I’d like to hear from regular readers who are sick of the ads they see when they come to PoliNation.
I’ve researched and it appears our two options are to switch to one of the free ad free blog hosting services or stay here and pay $4 a month.
Mindful Webworkers mentioned that he switched to the Opera browser and doesn’t see pop ups.
I use Firefox and don’t notice them except at YouTube where little boxes appear on some of the videos as I’m watching them. But I am not sure if those are technically pop up ads or if the specific YouTuber gets paid to host them.
The president does not play the “go along to get along” with all the other “leaders” when the bottom line is grabbing billions of American tax dollars over a hideous sham.
Trump Bucks G20 Leaders on Junk Science Climate Change Agreement
President Trump bucked the G20 leaders and refused to sign a final agreement for the Paris Climate Accord on Saturday.
The US is outperforming the Paris Accord Nations anyway.
The statement also says that 19 leaders reaffirmed their commitment to fighting climate change through the Paris agreement, with Trump being the sole holdout.
Trump has long bashed the 2015 Paris accord, which was negotiated under the Obama administration, and announced the United States’ exit from the agreement last year.
He has also pushed back on the findings of a report released by his administration last week outlining the potentially devastating consequences of climate change.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel Rejects Beto O’Rourke 2020 Hype
If you’re reading this,there’s a good chance you loathe this cold-hearted, ruthless reptile. But Mayor Tiny Dancer knows how sleazy politics is, especially democrat politics.
“If Beto O’Rourke wants to go and run for president, God bless him. He should put his hat in and make his case. But he lost. You don’t usually promote a loser to the top of party,” Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel told MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Thursday.
This month, a poll by Morning Consult and Politico put Beto O’Rourke just behind Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden on left-wing wish lists for the 2020 presidential race. Meanwhile, a PAC known as “Draft Beto 2020” aims to generate national enthusiasm. “Beto can win,” they wrote. “Our goal is to show Beto that there is support for his candidacy, starting here in New England.”
Former President Barack Obama called O’Rouke an “impressive young man who ran a terrific race in Texas.” Obama praised his apparent authenticity, saying, “What I liked most about his race was that it didn’t feel constantly poll-tested. It felt as if he based his statements and his positions on what he believed.”
Bruce Springsteen: Trump will Win in 2020 Because Democrats Have No ‘Obvious, Effective’ Candidate
You can’t beat something with nothing.
Rock legend Bruce Springsteen said in a recent interview that he thinks President Donald Trump can win a second term, saying that Democrats have no “obvious, effective” candidate to beat him in 2020.
The “Born to Run” singer, who campaigned for Barack Obama, has not hesitated to rip President Trump.
In an interview published this week, Springsteen accused President Trump of committing a “crime against humanity” by “dividing” Americans.
Referencing Trump’s rhetoric, the rock star said, “It’s an awful, awful message to send out into the world if you’re in that job and in that position. It’s just an ugly, awful message. You are intentionally trying to disenfranchise a large portion of Americans. I mean, you are simply … that’s unforgivable.”
North Dakota Man Pleads Guilty To Taking Forklift, Planning To ‘Flip’ President’s Limo And Kill Him
Leingang reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors, entering a guilty plea on Friday for attempting to enter or remain in a restricted building and on grounds while using a dangerous weapon, that is, a forklift.
Prior to the president’s arrival at around 2 p.m., Leingang had stolen a forklift in Mandan and entered the motorcade route, according to Sasse Russell.
“The intent was to basically try to get to the limo, flip the limo and get to the president and he wanted to kill the president,” Sasse said.
The forklift got stuck in a gated area, and, once that happened, Leingang fled and was apprehended by Mandan police, according to Sasse Russell. She said Leingang later admitted his plan to Mandan detectives, as well as a member of United States Secret Service.
Of course not. Their egos could never tolerate the mundane existence of mere citizens.
Michelle Obama Slips, Curses During Live Talk On Stage, Says Marriage ‘Still Ain’t Equal’
Michelle Obama told the sold-out crowd that women can’t experience equality in both their professional and personal lives “at the same time,” calling the idea a “lie” and arguing that “marriage still ain’t equal, y’all.”
Then, in an unguarded moment that sent the crowd and social media ablaze, she added: “And it’s not always enough to lean in, because that s— doesn’t work all the time.”
“I thought we were at home, y’all,” she added. “I was gettin’ real comfortable up in here. Alright, I’m back now. Sometimes that stuff doesn’t work.”
