….and you know who you are. We know you’re here, we see the numbers. It’s OK, your time is precious. Here in the garden we’re a little guppy in an ocean of sharks. We’re grateful you stop by and we try very hard not to waste your time. I tend to think some of you stop by just to see the funny stuff this brain damaged idiot posts. It’s OK, I’m not at all sensitive. I have hundreds of images in my folders and it would be impossible to post more than a small fraction of them. Every once in awhile I just like to make somebody smile, hopefully.
Long naps in the afternoon often mean short amount of sleep at night. It’s not so bad, though. Television on in the background, the house is quiet. A lot I didn’t get to yesterday. At one time I thought of getting together a group of procrastinators, but I never got around to it.
Donald Trump’s Art of the Insult
New film shows how pushing back hard helped Trump win the presidency.
THE LEFT NEVER FIGURED IT OUT. WE WERE AS SICKENED BY PHONY CONSERVATIVE BLOWHARDS WHO HAD NO SPINE AS WE WERE THE LEFTIST GARBAGE WHO GOT OFF ON FEEDING US A SHIT SANDWICH CLAIMING THEY KNEW HOW TO LIVE OUR LIVES BETTER THAN WE DID. THEN ALONG CAME A MAN WHO WASN’T A PHONY. THE MEDIA WHORES HATED HIM. WE LOVED HIM.
“You speak your mind,” says Megyn Kelly in the early going. As Joel Gilbert’s new film Trump: The Art of the Insult confirms, Donald Trump does indeed speak his mind.
In The Art of the Insult, candidate Trump says he would “bomb the shit out of ISIS” and that the San Bernardino shooter was a “son of a bitch,” and that Mexico would pay for the wall. Someone who speaks his mind like that, even a casual observer might think, would stand no chance of becoming President of the United States. To give away the ending, he did become president and the film helps explain the victory.
In the early going, some journalist wonders why Trump has to fire back every time someone goes after him. He was one of the first to push back hard because, as he said, “The last thing I want to be called is weak.” The aggressive candidate found a target-rich environment in both political parties.
Mahmoud Abbas: US Can No Longer Broker Peace Process YOU MEAN THE PEACE PROCESS WHERE YOUR HAMAS DOGS SAY ISRAEL HAS NO RIGHT TO EXIST?? THAT PEACE PROCESS??
“We reject the American decision over Jerusalem,” he said, reports Reuters. “With this position the United States has become no longer qualified to sponsor the peace process.”
World leaders ranging from UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to Pope Francis warned President Trump the move could jeopardize the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
Melissa McCarthy and Jennifer Aniston on ‘Kimmel’: ‘Climate Denial is like Not Believing in Gravity’
I BELIEVE IN GRAVITY… I’M PUTTING IT ON THE MEAT LOAF AND MASHED POTATOES THE WIFE IS MAKING FOR DINNER TODAY.
Melissa McCarthy and Jennifer Aniston have dealt climate skeptics a blow from which they may never recover… a sketch on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday suggesting that not believing in climate change is the same as not believing in gravity.
Manufacturing Employment Up 189,000 Since Trump’s Election; Federal Government Employment Down 3,000
In November 2016, there were 12,325,000 people employed in manufacturing in the United States. By this November, that had climbed to 12,514,000.
“Since a recent low in November 2016, manufacturing employment has increased by 189,000,” the BLS said in the press release it put out this morning with the November employment numbers.
OBAMA THEN:MANUFACTURING JOBS ARE NOT COMING BACK.
OBAMA NOW: I DID THIS. IT WAS MY ECONOMIC POLICIES THAT BROUGHT US OUT OF THE BUSH RECESSION AND NOW IT’S WORKING.
China Cutting Tariffs Just Weeks After Trump’s Asia Trip COME HERE FOR THE INFORMATION THE MEDIA WHORES REFUSE TO TELL YOU.
Following President Donald Trump’s recent trip to Asia, China has released a long list of dramatic tariff cuts on a range of imported consumer goods. In fact, over 200 different products will see an average reduction of approximately 10 percent.
China’s unilateral decision to cut tariffs, however modest, should prove beneficial for its major trading partners, including the United States. The cuts will also benefit the people of China, allowing them greater access to a variety of products at more competitive costs.
Trent Franks Resigns, Effective Immediately In the wake of Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) stepping down from Congress, some disturbing stories have emerged from his former staffers. Namely, he offered one woman $5 million to serve as his surrogate, and his aides were worried that he wanted to have sex with them to impregnate them.
The sources said Franks approached two female staffers about acting as a potential surrogate for him and his wife, who has struggled with fertility issues for years. But the aides were concerned that Franks was asking to have sexual relations with them.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio ‘Seriously’ Considering U.S. Senate Bid SENATOR MOORE AND SENATOR ARPAIO…HOW DELICIOUS WOULD THAT BE??
Arpaio hinted at his potential political plans after the Daily Beast asked him whether he intended to run for Rep. Trent Franks’ (R-AZ) seat after the Arizona congressman steps down January 31.
“No, I would not consider it, but I am considering running for the Senate, Flake’s seat,” Arpaio replied, referring to Sen. Jeff Flake’s (R-AZ) decision not to run for re-election.
New Poll Finds 92% of Democrats Uninformed, Ignorant and Easily Played
Democrats and the Obama FBI paid cash for a fake Russian dossier so they could spy on Donald Trump at Trump tower.
But Democrat voters are ignorant.
And Democrats rely on the fact that their supporters are stupid and easily played.
A new poll released this week by CBS News found that 92% of Democrats believe Trump advisors had improper dealings with Russia. The poll claims 43% of Republicans believe the fairy tale… which is complete rubbish.
Of course, Republican voters are correct. After a year of screaming liberal media headlines and conspiracy theories there is NO EVIDENCE that any Trump official made improper contact with the Russians.
This was all a media lie to destroy Trump.
THEY THINK WE’RE IGNORANT REDNECKS.
THERE’S AN OLD SAYING: DON’T PISS ON MY LEG AND TELL ME IT’S RAINING.
DNC ‘Unity Reform Commission’ Interrupted by Progressive Protestors Katelyn Caralle of the Washington Free Beacon reports that a DNC sanctioned event intent on reforming the party after its disastrous 2016 election efforts was supposed to bring compromise on divisive issues such as the power of super delegates within their presidential primary.
However, two gentlemen brought pretty benign signs which read “Democratic Party or Undemocratic Party?”
WERE IT NOT FOR THE FACT THEIR VOTERS ARE PATENTLY IGNORANT AND FELONY LAZY THIS PARTY WOULD NOT EXIST.
DNC Panel Recommends Huge Cut in Superdelegates to Avoid Nominating Another Loser Like Hillary Clinton
A commission has been set up to reform the DNC’s nominating process after Hillary Clinton high-jacked it and turned the institution into a Clinton-ized (criminal) organization in a desperate attempt to become President. SHE HAD THE NOMINATION SEWN UP BEFORE THE PRIMARY EVEN STARTED BECAUSE SHE HAD ALL THE SUPER DELEGATES IN HER POCKET.
In her new book, “Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns that Put Donald Trump in the White House,” Brazile admits the Clinton campaign engaged in “essentially … money laundering,” where state parties were sucked dry to fund her failed presidential effort.

Joy Reid Guest: Roy Moore Voters “Want to Build Wall and Keep Brown People Out”
Bunch of Bible-thumpin’ racists . . .
That’s in essence how a Joy Reid guest has described Roy Moore’s supporters. On Reid’s MSNBC show this morning, Eric Guster, an Alabama lawyer, said:
“Roy Moore’s coalition, they [are] in the rural counties. The Bible Belt. The people who love to go to church on Sunday. The ones who want to build a wall and keep brown people out of the United States.”
[CtH: Translation: “People who love to go to church on Sunday” are RAAACISTS!]
Judge Releases 19-Year-Old Charged in Facebook Video Torture of Disabled Chicago Teen The first of four Chicago suspects accused of beating and torturing a disabled teenager and broadcasting the attack on Facebook has pleaded guilty, but a judge let her off without prison time, a report says.
The judge did not assign jail time because, he said, “I’m not sure if I did that you’d be coming out any better.”
Hooks insisted that his sentence would give Covington the chance to put her life on a productive path.
YOU’D BE COMING OUT ANY BETTER? BETTER THAN WHAT?? IF THIS HAD BEEN WHITES BEATING A RETARDED BLACK KID SENSELESS, THEY’D DO 50 YEARS IN PRISON. ONLY WHITES CAN COMMIT HATE CRIMES. THAT’S HOW SCREWED UP THINGS ARE NOW. (Yes,I was pounding on the keys.)
Alabama ‘Vote or Die Campaign Offering ‘$1-$50’ Payments for Participation SWEET HOME ALABAMA, WHERE THE PAYOFF’S ARE GREEN. MY APOLOGIES TO LYNRD SKYNRD AND THE LATE RONNIE VAN ZANT. I DON’T KNOW WHAT CAME OVER ME
The flyer, which reportedly has been on display at the courthouse in Sylacauga, AL and was featured in an NBC News article by Alex Seitz-Wald, says people who attend rallies “will be given $1-$50” and adds their time and vote “are more valuable than money.”
Every citizen 18 years or older who attends the rally will be given $1-$50 to “Pay it Forward” . Your time and your vote are more valuable than money. Your vote can save the nation.
THE SCUM WHO STARTED THIS SHOULD BE ARRESTED.
THIS IS FLAT OUT BRIBERY, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
Trump will not speak publicly at opening of Mississippi’s Civil Rights Museum
The Mississippi Department of Archives and History and the White House agreed to have a separate event after a series of noteworthy civil rights leaders and speakers decided to boycott the event and local groups planned to protest.
Nolte: Media Close 2017 Proving Trump 100 Percent Correct About Fake News If the discredited American media have enjoyed even one good week this year, I cannot recall it. But what is not in doubt is that the establishment media have closed 2017 by proving President Trump 100 percent correct about their massive fake news problem.
This past week has been an unmitigated disaster for a corrupt and depraved institution that only gets more desperately corrupt and depraved with each passing day.
Shock: Reporters Defend Pres. Trump From Liberal Lie That He Spoke to ‘Mostly Empty’ Pensacola Rally
A photo taken well before Trump spoke showing empty seats is being promoted as proof Trump flopped in Florida.
This is why President Trump is always imploring the media to ‘turn the cameras around’ and show the crowd.
WaPo Reporter Dave Weigel Deleted Bogus Trump Rally Photo After White House Called Him Out Saturday Morning
The White House called out Washington Post politics reporter Dave Weigel early Saturday morning on his lying tweet mocking President Donald Trump about the size of the crowd at Trump’s rally in Pensacola, Florida Friday night, prompting Weigel to delete the tweet within minutes. Later Saturday, Trump went after Weigel on Twitter demanding an apology which Weigel gave. Weigel was mocking a tweet by Trump posted at 7:41 a.m. EST about the rally crowd being “packed to the rafters”.
With regard to Weigel’s claim he saw Trump in the photo, there are two issues that a decent reporter would notice: One, the man in question is walking virtually alone with no Secret Service or aides in front and behind him. Second that the man in question is wearing a black tie where as Trump wore a bright red tie at the rally.
THERE IS EXTENSIVE VIDEO ON THE ENTIRE RALLY.
HERE ARE TWO VERY SHORT CLIPS… JUDGE FOR YOURSELF.

Army-Navy Game’s Stunning National Anthem Rendition Puts Every Kneeling NFL Player To Shame
This year marks the 118th time the two teams have met. The teams meet in a neutral city between their respective academies. They often play in NFL stadiums due to the enormous number of active duty and veteran fans who wish to attend.
Before the game, the choirs of the Annapolis and West Point academies joined together to sing the national anthem. It was a solemn moment and was made even more beautiful by the falling snow.
[CtH: I got to go to the Army-Navy game in Philadelphia once when I was a pre-teen.]
Looks like today is going to be a three-poster. There’s still plenty of interesting stuff from yesterday and it keeps coming. If I didn’t think it was worth your while to glance at it, I wouldn’t waste your time. I have too much respect for our readers and their time. The fact that I have plenty of it is a luxury very few people share.
John Lewis Cancels Trip to MS Because He Won’t Share a Stage With Trump
Rep. John Lewis told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution he is canceling is trip to the new Mississippi Civil Rights Museum because he doesn’t want to share a stage with President Trump. But the Georgia congressman said he would reconsider if the “hit man,” meaning Mr. Trump, decides not to attend.
Bombshell: Roy Moore Accuser Beverly Nelson Admits She Forged Yearbook
OOPS! IMAGINE THAT! NO WONDER “PUBLICITY WHORE” ALLRED WOULDN’T ALLOW ANYBODY TO EXAMINE THE BOOK
Beverly Young Nelson has finally admitted that she forged a portion of the infamous high school yearbook that she and attorney Gloria Allred used as proof of her accusations against U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore.
And in yet another blow to the credibility of ABC News, the disgraced, left-wing network downplayed the bombshell by presenting this admission of forgery as adding “notes” to the inscription. Worse still, the reporter actually coaches Nelson, puts words in her mouth, downplay the enormous significance of her deceit.
TRUMP SLAMS LYING HACK GLORIA ALLRED: “Everytime You See Her You Know Something Is Going Wrong”
President Trump: “So did you see what happened today? Did you see the yearbook? Did you see that? There was a little mistake made. She started to write things in the yearbook. Oh, what are we going to do. Gloria Allred, every time you see her you know something is going wrong.”
Donald Trump Jr. Wins The Internet With Gloria Allred Kill Shot After Accuser Admits Roy Moore Signature Forgery CNN published photos of the signature showing two different inks.
The signature says “To a sweeter more beautiful girl I could not say, ‘Merry Christmas.’ Love, Roy Moore DA, 12-22-77, Olde Hickory House.”
“Well how exactly are you going to do that? What are you going to do? There’s uh-uh no answer to it. He just says. ‘I’m going to negotiate a better deal.’ Well how? How exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually the answer is, he doesn’t have an answer.”

Obama: Some jobs ‘are just not going to come back’
In a speech this week in Chicago Barack Obama took full credit for President Trump’s record economic numbers.

Judge recuses in Michael Flynn case
The former Trump national security adviser will be sentenced by Clinton appointee Emmet Sullivan. Judge Emmet Sullivan was randomly assigned to take over the case after Judge Rudolph Contreras recused himself.
A court spokeswoman confirmed to POLITICO that the reassignment was due to Contreras’ recusal, but said the court generally does not disclose the reason that a judge begged off the case.
MY THEORY IS THAT CONTRERAS KNEW MUELLER WITHHELD EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE BEFORE HE PRESSURED KELLY INTO A PLEA DEAL. HE WOULD HAVE HAD TO DISCLOSE THAT OR FACE DISBARMENT.
Collins considers changing vote on tax bill over amendments Collins added two amendments to the legislation that passed the Senate last week, one of which would allow taxpayers to deduct property taxes from their annual federal filings, restoring a provision of the House bill that the Senate took out. Another provision added by Collins would lower the threshold for tax deductions for medical expenses.
Morning Joe jumps right to dementia over latest Trump video: ‘that speech, that impairment, is chilling’
DOCTOR JOE COMES UP WITH HIS OWN DIAGNOSIS.
On Thursday, the panel on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”suggested President Trump’s brief slurred words during his Wednesday speech on recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital are indicative of dementia.
[CtH: Let’s all remember how Obama mis-pronounced words that were written into his prepared speeches, m’kay? And that time he banged his head on the door to Marine One? Or that other time when he tried to shake hands with a Marine who was saluting him? Oh, and definitely, let’s remember that wonderful video of him being locked out of his own office, when he was caught banging on the window trying to get someone to let him in.]
HERE IS DOCTOR PETE’S DIAGNOSIS OF MORNING JOKE’S CONDITION:
HYPOCRITES: Same Media Outlets Who Mocked Hillary Clinton Health Conspiracies Now Promoting Trump ‘Slurred Speech’ Conspiracies Here’s CNN’s report:
Toward the end of the news conference, some on Twitter and Facebook noted that the President’s usual speech pattern changed and that he started to slur his words — and they speculated about what it could mean. … “People can slur their words for any number of reasons. It can be a sign of problems with a nervous system disorder like a brain tumor or a stroke.”

Taxpayers Paid $220K to Settle Case Involving Rep. Alcee Hastings
The Treasury Department paid $220,000 in a previously undisclosed agreement to settle a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment that involved Florida Democrat Alcee L. Hastings, according to documents obtained by Roll Call.
Winsome Packer, a former staff member of a congressional commission that promotes international human rights, said in documents that the congressman touched her, made unwanted sexual advances, and threatened her job. At the time, Hastings was the chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, where Packer worked.
YOU REMEMBER HIM…HE WAS THROWN OFF THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE FOR CORRUPTION. WELL, HE MADE IT BACK THERE AND NOW SITS IN JUDGEMENT OF OTHERS.
The original plan was to do this when I finished delivering my papers. Then I decide to take a nap. It was Friday, so breakfast with my uncles. Then I went for my first appointment to have cortisone injections in my back. I came home and the rest of the day was pretty well shot. However, there was a lot going on and I felt obligated to lay some of this down since I have a couple hours before I’m off again in 15 degree weather to keep people informed.
IS HE IN OR OUT?
I tuned in to C-Span Thursday to watch that flea-infested gutter rat Stuart Smalley resign from the Senate. I watched almost 5 minutes of it before my gag reflex betrayed me and I had to turn it off.
Then, being the petty little prick he is, he whined about Trump and Judge Moore. Then it dawned on me. He’s waiting to see if Moore wins next Tuesday. If he does he’ll probably un-resign and claim if Moore stays, he will too. Notice Conyers and Franken are the Democrats’ sacrificial lambs because both are extremely safe seats. How much more liberal can you get than Detroit?
Sen. Al Franken Will Resign ‘in the Coming Weeks’
“A couple months ago I felt that we had entered an important moment in the history of this country. We finally listened to women.”
“Then the conversation turned to me,” Franken added.
‘Ready?’: Democratic senators and staffers shed tears during Al Franken’s resignation speech
Only one Republican sat in on Franken’s speech, Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. The rest of the Republican side sat empty.
If you as a woman truly believe a man is a creepy serial sex assaulter of women, do you get all misty-eyed and line up to tightly hug him when he resigns from the Senate following your demand he do so in the face of numerous accusations of sexual assault? If you are a Democrat woman senator, the answer is ‘yes’, even though several of the allegations involved Franken groping and forcing kisses during hugs. Franken was also photographed assaulting a woman in her sleep.
In his speech, Franken name-checked former Sen. Paul Wellstone, the longtime Minnesota Democrat on three occasions. Franken famously defeated former Sen. Norm Coleman in 2009 by 312 votes — who Wellstone was set to face off against in 2002 until a plane crash took his life only eleven days before the election — giving Democrats the much-needed 60th vote for a brief period of time that allowed them to pass the Affordable Care Act.
REMEMBER THIS LITTLE SNIPPET? I DO.
THIS WAS WHEN ALL THE REPUBLICAN SENATORS WHO HAD COME TO SHOW THEIR RESPECT WERE ORDERED TO LEAVE, THEN CAME THE PEP RALLY.
If Moore wins and Franken un-resigns, will Senate Democrats back him up? He was careful this morning not to admit to any wrongdoing, merely saying that he’d lost the confidence of his colleagues and therefore had to go. Imagine now that Moore wins and, as expected, McConnell’s caucus immediately starts hemming and hawing about whether he should be expelled.
Chris Matthews: ‘The Worst You Can Say About Democrats Is They’re Too Pure’
ABC’s Rick Klein: Franken didn’t show any contrition in resignation speech
With Al Franken out, Democrats hope to make Republicans answer for Roy Moore and Donald Trump
OK, WE GAVE UP TWO OF THE SCORE OF MISCREANTS IN OUR PARTY, SO GET RID OF ONE THAT IT’S NEVER BEEN PROVED HE DID ANYTHING WRONG. WE JUST DON’T WANT ANY OF THAT ‘GOD’ STUFF AROUND HERE.
If Moore, accused of preying on young girls, is elected, Democrats will hammer Republicans unceasingly. Even if he’s not, Democrats made clear their intent to raise anew the several allegations of sexual misconduct leveled against Trump before the 2016 election in a bid to make Republicans answer on this politically super-charged issue.
[CtH: Every time this is mentioned, the Republican being targeted should recite the names of Clinton’s accusers and refuse to say anything else.]
CBS Mourns Franken Resignation: ‘The End to a Potentially Storied Career’ You know, Al Franken is one of very few Democrats in Congress who can truly claim to have had a nationwide progressive profile, even before he came to the Senate in 2009, because of his Air America radio show. And that led to him having, you know, a true ability to raise money for other lawmakers.
Female lieutenant governor expected to replace Franken Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton is expected to appoint his lieutenant governor and close ally, Tina Smith, to Al Franken’s seat, three people familiar with the Democratic governor’s thinking said.
But that appointment would be just the start of an upheaval in Minnesota. Part of the reason Smith could be heading to the Senate, the sources said, is that she has indicated no interest in running for Congress in the past and would not run for the remainder of Franken’s term, which expires in 2020, in a 2018 special election. That would clear the way for a wide open Democratic primary next year.
John Conyers II is out. Long live John Conyers III.
After spending almost 60 years in Congress as a politician and a staffer, Rep. John Conyers II has to decide which of his many relatives to pass Michigan’s 13th congressional district to. It’s like King Lear, if Shakespeare’s fictional monarch had been forced to step down after groping a woman in church.
The 13th is a very nice district to inherit. Conyers has won it by 77%, 79% and 82%. Fidel Castro couldn’t ask for better elections. Whichever Conyers clan member gets it will be staying in Congress for 60 years.
And will inherit Rep. Conyers’ government Cadillac Escalade.
LAKEWOOD, CO—According to reports, a same-sex Lakewood couple informed a local business owner their private love life is none of his business, while insisting that he and his company approve and fully accept their love life, sources confirmed Wednesday.
The couple, whose relationship may violate the privately held religious beliefs of some Americans, including the business owner, told him to “get out of our bedroom” while they demanded he use his business to openly affirm and celebrate their lifestyle choices.
“How dare he force his extremist views on us?” the couple reportedly asked, while threatening to bring legal action and destroy his livelihood if he would not defy his widely-held religious beliefs in order to provide a service that they could easily receive at dozens of other local, willing companies.
“We have rights. No one can tell us how to live our lives!” the couple told sources, as they used the justice system to force the business owner to violate his own convictions and coerce him to applaud their personal decisions.
December 7, 1941: More than 2,300 American servicemen were murdered in a sneak attack by the Empire of Japan. It drew us directly into a war that had been raging in Europe for more than two years. It changed the course of history and ended a madman’s dream of world domination.
Fast forward 76 years. The USS Arizona still rests in the harbor, along with those joined for eternity. I’ve never been there, but know people who have. You cannot come away from there unmoved if you have a soul. Our WWII veterans are almost all gone now, passing into glory at a rapid rate. After suffering eight years of humiliation at the hands of a man who presided over a country he hated, these few once again have a president who sees them as the legends they are.
World War II Veteran Interrupts Trump’s Pearl Harbor Speech to Sing ‘Remember Pearl Harbor’
During his speech, one of the World War II veterans, Michael “Mickey” Ganitch, interrupted and started singing the song “Remember Pearl Harbor.”
Before President Trump signed a formal proclamation on the 76th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, one veteran of the Japanese attack broke out in song. Trump said that, following the attack, a “battle cry could be heard by American friends and foes alike: Remember Pearl Harbor.”
The veteran standing closest to him smiled and began singing the lyrics to the Sammy Kaye song. “Let’s remember Pearl Harbor as we go to meet the foe. Let’s remember Pearl Harbor, as we did the Alamo,” he sang. “We will always remember how they died for liberty. Let’s remember Pearl Harbor, and go on to victory.”
The following veterans attended Trump’s ceremony, where the president signed a proclamation for Pearl Harbor Day:
Michael Ganitch, chief quartermaster, United States Navy, USS Pennsylvania
Jack Holder, Flight Engineer, United States Navy, PBY Ford Island
Alexander Horanzy, Private, United States Army, Schofield Barracks
Lawrence Parry, Private, United States Army, Fort Armstrong
Robert Fernandez, Seaman First Class, United States Navy, USS Curtiss
George Blake, Staff Sergeant, Coastal Artillery Battery
THEY ARE A PRECIOUS TREASURE THAT CAN NEVER BE REPLACED.
Today we honor Pearl Harbor Heroes. Thank you to all military for your courage and sacrifice!
Here’s the original version of the song: Remember Pearl Harbor by Sammy Kaye
ON PEARL HARBOR DAY Obama Would Post Photos of Himself — TRUMP Invites WWII Veterans to White House
In December 2013 Barack Obama honored the dead from Pearl Harbor by posting a photo of himself
THIS MAN IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE/
In December 2016, on the 75th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attacks, Barack Obama honored the fallen heroes of Pearl Harbor with another photo of himself. On December 7, 2017, President Trump honored the fallen of Pearl Harbor by inviting the survivors to the White House.
EVEN ON SUCH A SOLEMN OCCASION, THAT LITTLE PIMPLE FROM #FAKE NEWS STILL HAS TO BE A PAIN.
Flanked By Pearl Harbor Survivors Trump Stops And Drops A Nuke On CNN
Acosta shouted this question to Trump as he exited the room with the Pearl Harbor veterans: “Any comment on senator Al Franken? He made some comments about you earlier today.”
Trump paused and with the strength of the Pearl Harbor veterans behind him, shut CNN down with five words: “I didn’t hear it. Sorry.: Then Trump left the room, flanked by American heroes.
In full disclosure I can’t stand this overbearing loudmouth punk. Never could. When I first saw him on SNL I wondered where the hell they found this squinty-eyed little moron. Through massive vote fraud, he actually managed to steal a seat in the US Senate from Norm Coleman. His entire tenure has been fraught with crass, vulgar behavior. During Senate hearings he’s been rude, profane, and boorish. Well, karma’s a bitch, and it looks like it may have bitten him in the hind quarters … finally. Check this out:
‘It’s my right as an entertainer’: Franken staffer comes forward as 7th accuser of sexual misconduct
It appears the worst is not yet behind Al Franken. The Democratic Minnesota Senator was hit by another sexual harassment allegation on Wednesday, bringing the total up to seven.
“He was between me and the door and he was coming at me to kiss me. It was very quick and I think my brain had to work really hard to be like ‘Wait, what is happening?’ But I knew whatever was happening was not right and I ducked. I was really startled by it and I just sort of booked it towards the door and he said, ‘It’s my right as an entertainer.’”
As Franken’s support collapses, Democrats expect resignation
Though the writing appeared to be on the wall, Franken’s departure was not certain. A tweet posted Wednesday evening on Franken’s Twitter account said: “Senator Franken is talking with his family at this time and plans to make an announcement in D.C. tomorrow. Any reports of a final decision are inaccurate.” Late in the day, Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York added his voice. “I consider Senator Franken a dear friend and greatly respect his accomplishments, but he has a higher obligation to his constituents and the Senate, and he should step down immediately,” Schumer said.
WHEN SCHUMER SAYS IT’S TIME TO GO, PACK YOUR BAGS.
[CtH: Makes me sick they’re leaving it up to him, while simultaneously talking about maybe blocking Moore from taking his seat if he wins!]
So, What Happens to Al Franken’s Seat If He Resigns? The walls are closing in on Sen. Al Franken, with a seventh accuser stepping forward today and multiple Democrats calling for his resignation in the aftermath, including DNC chair Tom Perez and more than 20 Senators (and counting).
Franken is expected to give remarks tomorrow and, well, it’d be pretty crazy if he didn’t resign. The former SNL star’s time in public service should be drawing to a close, and provided it did, what happens next in Minnesota politics? Democratic Governor Mark Dayton is given the ability to make a “temporary appointment to fill any vacancy,” according to state law.
In other words, Dayton can pick whoever he wants and this pick is guaranteed to be a Democrat. Which Democrat? That is still up in the air, but leading candidates would have to be Rep. Keith Ellison, Attorney General Lori Swanson, State Auditor Rebecca Otto and Lieutenant Governor Tina Smith.
MY PERSONAL GUESS IS HE’LL PICK THE MUSLIM RACE HUSTLER. HE’S THE MOST RADICAL OF THE BUNCH (I HOPE).
IN OTHER NEWS: REMEMBER THAT IMPEACHMENT VOTE FROM CONGRESSMAN GORK, THE CAVEMAN? YEAH, IT DIDN’T GO SO WELL.
An attempt to impeach Trump today failed 364-58
There are really two ways to look at this effort. One is that this attempt to impeach President Trump got slapped down hard today. The other is that there are now 58 Democrats willing to attach their names to this desperate action which their own leadership is officially against, at least for the moment. Again, the message isn’t ‘No’ it’s ‘Not yet.’ The White House responded by labeling Rep. Green and those who voted with him extremists. “Their time would be better spent focusing on tax relief for American families and businesses, and working to fund our troops and veterans through the holiday season rather than threaten a government shutdown.”

While the source of the wildfires has yet to be discovered, outspoken Trump critic Chelsea Handler was forced to flee her home and immediately blamed President Trump. “Just evacuated my house,” she tweeted Wednesday afternoon. “It’s like Donald Trump is setting the world on fire.

McConnell: Hope Moore is prepared for his Ethics probe
Hopefully Senate Republicans will be prepared for it, too. This leftover from yesterday will take on additional importance if Al Franken resigns tomorrow. Democrats clean up their messes while Republicans get theirs elected will be the cry from the media, ignoring their 25-year record of covering for Bill Clinton’s sexual predation and their efforts to get him back in the White House via Hillary.
[CtH: They’ll completely ignore how they let said Democrats CHOOSE if they were going to resign. At least VOTERS are getting to decide about Moore.]
John Conyers III Allegedly Body-Slammed His Girlfriend And Cut Her With A Knife
HIS DADDY IS PROUD OF THIS CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK.
John Conyers III, son of disgraced former Rep. John Conyers Jr., allegedly body-slammed his girlfriend and then spat on her during a domestic dispute, according to a new report. Conyers Jr., who resigned on Tuesday after a flood of sexual harassment allegations against him, has said that he wants Conyers III to run for his empty seat.
[CtH: “Democrats clean up their messes.” ::coughcough::
BARACK OBAMA Was Worst Economic President Since 1949 – Now He’s TAKING CREDIT For Trump’s Booming Economy Here is the complete list of average annual real GDP growth by postwar president (in descending order):
President Trump’s first year in office will beat Barack Obama’s best year ever. President Trump has seen quarterly GDP rates of 1.2%, 3.1% and 3.3%. The New York Federal Reserve revised its estimated fourth quarter GDP of 2017 to 3.93. This will give President Trump an annual GDP rate of 2.9 in 2017 or possibly higher.
At a conference of mayors in Chicago, Mr. Obama congratulated himself Tuesday for strong employment numbers in the U.S. this year, saying his climate-change policies have contributed to growth. “As we took these actions, we saw the U.S. economy grow consistently,” Mr. Obama said. “We saw the longest streak of job creation in American history by far, a streak that still continues by the way.” He added wryly, “Thanks, Obama.”
[CtH: Typical Obama. He has a long history of taking credit for other’s successes, while denying (like Hillary) that any of his numerous failures had anything to do with him. Also, typical of Obama is the backward tilt of his head, so he’s always looking down his nose at everyone. ]
Obama Invokes Nazi Germany, Warns Against Voters Becoming ‘Complacent’ The two-term Democrat expressed the importance of a free press and urged the country not to “grow complacent,” saying “we have to tend to this garden of democracy or else things could fall apart quickly.” Hinz writes Obama then brought up the specter of Adolf Hitler, who came to power in Democratic Germany amid the financial crisis of the 1930’s. “Sixty million people died…” he reports Obama said. “So, you’ve got to pay attention. And vote.” On Twitter, Hinz called the comments “remarkable” and framed them as a rebuke of current president Donald Trump. Take that, @realDonaldTrump: @BarackObama makes clear his view that a complacent America could be headed the way of Nazi Germany. Read his remarkable comments at #EconomicClub of Chicago.
[CtH: Mr. FORMER President, sir, we were paying attention and we VOTED. That’s why Hillary isn’t president.]
Franklin Graham: No President in My Lifetime Has Defended the Christian Faith Like Trump
In a Dec. 1 post on Facebook, the day the tree was lit, Rev. Graham said, “Never in my lifetime have we had a president willing to take a strong, outspoken stand for the Christian faith like President Donald J. Trump has.” “Whether you are Protestant, evangelical, Orthodox, Catholic — all Christians need to get behind him with our prayers,” said Graham.
“For Christians this is a holy season, the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Christmas story begins 2,000 years ago with a mother, a father, their baby son, and the most extraordinary gift of all – the gift of God’s love for all of humanity.
NEW YORK, NY—New projections worked up by the New York Times in conjunction with liberal think tank Progress At All Costs suggest that the new Republican tax plan will kill up to 18 billion people out of the 7.4 billion people currently living on the planet.
The Times published its findings on Monday, sounding the alarm that the adjusted tax plan will mean certain death for everybody on the planet “and then some.”
“We’ve run the numbers, and the tweaks to the current tax code will definitely kill everyone at least twice,” the Times wrote in its grave prediction. “Even those living outside the U.S. will be slaughtered by a ripple effect generated by the shuffling around of the current tax system, as minor as the adjustments may seem to some.”
“This is the end of humanity,” the Times article concluded ominously.
The detailed report suggested that the government taking slightly less money from the citizens of the U.S. would have detrimental effects, causing everything from volcanic eruptions and destructive tidal waves to a catastrophic, intergalactic invasion from aliens who feed on all organic life.
Don’t hold your breath waiting on the Left Stream Media to trumpet this news. It might make Presidents Bush and Trump look good. Can’t have that!
President Trump proclaimed December 1, 2017, as World AIDS Day,a moment to “honor those who have lost their lives to AIDS [and] celebrate the remarkable progress we have made in combatting this disease.”
President Bush started the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in 2003.Before PEPFAR, only 50,000 people were receiving lifesaving antiretroviral treatment (ART) in sub-Saharan Africa. Today, PEPFAR supports more than 13.3 million men, women, and children on ART.
President Trump’s order seeks to end past overreach and abuseof the monument review process under the Antiquities Act that has closed off land to the public, while continuing to protect objects of significance.
As usual, there’s plenty of misinformation making the rounds. Here are a few quick facts to correct the record:
Myth:No president has ever shrunk a monument.
Fact:Monuments have been shrunk at least 18 times—by presidents on both sides of the aisle.
Myth:This move will sell or close national parks.
Fact:No national parks are under review, and the Administration adamantly opposes wholesale transfer of any public lands.
Myth:The review was done behind closed doors.
Fact:Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke personally held more than 60 meetings with local stakeholders, including numerous tribal groups.
YOU MEAN THE PEACE PROCESS WHERE YOUR HAMAS DOGS SAY ISRAEL HAS NO RIGHT TO EXIST?? THAT PEACE PROCESS??
COME HERE FOR THE INFORMATION THE MEDIA WHORES REFUSE TO TELL YOU.
In the wake of Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) stepping down from Congress, some disturbing stories have emerged from his former staffers. Namely, he offered one woman $5 million to serve as his surrogate, and his aides were worried that he wanted to have sex with them to impregnate them.
SENATOR MOORE AND SENATOR ARPAIO…HOW DELICIOUS WOULD THAT BE??
The poll claims 43% of Republicans believe the fairy tale… which is complete rubbish.
Katelyn Caralle of the Washington Free Beacon reports that a DNC sanctioned event intent on reforming the party after its disastrous 2016 election efforts was supposed to bring compromise on divisive issues such as the power of super delegates within their presidential primary.
SHE HAD THE NOMINATION SEWN UP BEFORE THE PRIMARY EVEN STARTED BECAUSE SHE HAD ALL THE SUPER DELEGATES IN HER POCKET.
The first of four Chicago suspects accused of beating and torturing a disabled teenager and broadcasting the attack on Facebook has pleaded guilty, but a judge let her off without prison time, a report says.
If the discredited American media have enjoyed even one good week this year, I cannot recall it. But what is not in doubt is that the establishment media have closed 2017 by proving President Trump 100 percent correct about their massive fake news problem.
Weigel was mocking a tweet by Trump posted at 7:41 a.m. EST about the rally crowd being “packed to the rafters”.
Judge Emmet Sullivan was randomly assigned to take over the case after Judge Rudolph Contreras recused himself.
Collins added two amendments to the legislation that passed the Senate last week, one of which would allow taxpayers to deduct property taxes from their annual federal filings, restoring a provision of the House bill that the Senate took out. Another provision added by Collins would lower the threshold for tax deductions for medical expenses.
Here’s CNN’s report:
He was careful this morning not to admit to any wrongdoing, merely saying that he’d lost the confidence of his colleagues and therefore had to go. Imagine now that Moore wins and, as expected, McConnell’s caucus immediately starts hemming and hawing about whether he should be expelled.
You know, Al Franken is one of very few Democrats in Congress who can truly claim to have had a nationwide progressive profile, even before he came to the Senate in 2009, because of his Air America radio show. And that led to him having, you know, a true ability to raise money for other lawmakers.
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton is expected to appoint his lieutenant governor and close ally, Tina Smith, to Al Franken’s seat, three people familiar with the Democratic governor’s thinking said.
On December 7, 2017, President Trump honored the fallen of Pearl Harbor by inviting the survivors to the White House.
The walls are closing in on Sen. Al Franken, with a seventh accuser stepping forward today and multiple Democrats calling for his resignation in the aftermath, including DNC chair Tom Perez and more than 20 Senators (and counting).
It’s like a Democrat Party donor’s dinner. 
GREAT! SEND A FOUL-MOUTHED RACE BAITER TO ALABAMA TO TELL THEM WHAT A BUNCH OF WHITE SUPREMACISTS THEY ARE.
