The No-NFL Sunday

 

There are still a few boneheads in the NFL who think it’s cool to protest something… anything. Protests are meaningless when they can’t even say for sure what, exactly, it is they’re protesting. Thank goodness for cable.

San Juan Mayor to Liberal Media: We Are Getting No Help From Trump – As She Stands In Front of Pallets of Aid

Puerto Rico was devastated by Hurricane Irma and then Hurricane Maria a category 5 monster hurricane two weeks later.  Just four days ago San Juan, Puerto Rico’s Democrat mayor, Carmen Yulin Cruz Soto, praised FEMA for the work on the island.  But now she’s out on all of the liberal mainstream news outlets trashing President Trump, while standing in front of pallets of aid.  Does Trump have to hand out the water bottles, too?

San Juan Mayor to Liberal Media: We Are Getting No Help From Trump – As She Stands In Front of Pallets of Aid

San Juan Mayor Praised Convicted FALN Terrorist

Yulin Cruz is a member of Puerto Rico’s Popular Democratic Party that wants the island to remain a U.S. territory. But she sounded more like a member of the island’s Independence Party in a video that surfaced back in January when President Barack Obama commuted the sentence of Rivera Lopez.

Other Puerto Rican Mayor: Trump Has Been Great, San Juan’s Mayor Has Been AWOL

Guaynabo Mayor Angel Perez Otero says that Mayor Yulin Cruz has been a no show at coordination meetings between FEMA, U.S. military officials, and Puerto Rican leaders.
“I’ve seen other mayors participating. She’s not,” said Perez Otero.  Perez Otero says he has been in constant contact with U.S. officials and is confident that they will provide the very best recovery efforts they can.

Donald Trump: ‘Politically Motivated Ingrates’ and ‘Fake News’ Saying We Are Failing in Puerto Rico

“Results of recovery efforts will speak much louder than complaints by San Juan Mayor,” he wrote. “Doing everything we can to help great people of PR!”

FEMA Administrator Defends Trump Tweets: San Juan Mayor Needs to Get Plugged Into Our Joint Efforts

The Media Has Its ‘Kanye Moment’ On Trump — CNN, MSNBC Make Disaster Relief All About ‘Racism’

Just as rapper Kanye West once infamously said, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people,” for that president’s response to Hurricane Katrina, many mainstream media commentators are lobbing accusations of racism at President Donald Trump for his handling of the disaster in Puerto Rico.

The CNN host said, “Most Americans actually are opposed to this president, and many Americans think he’s a racist. He has a race problem. And when he tweets about Puerto Rico saying ‘they need a handout,’ he makes his race problem worse.

In a series of tweets, the President said, “The Mayor of San Juan, who was very complimentary only a few days ago, has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump.”

Predictable: Liberals Seek To Frame Puerto Rico As Trump’s Katrina‘Inept’ Puerto Rican government ‘riddled with corruption’: CEO

The governor Ricardo Rossello has little experience. He’s 36 and never really held a job and never dealt with a budget. His entire administration is totally inexperienced and they have no clue how to handle a crisis of this magnitude.

For instance, shortly after the hurricane hit, the government imposed a curfew from 6 pm to 6 am and then changed it. Now, it’s 7 pm to 5 am, and makes no sense. The curfew has prevented fuel trucks from transporting their loads. These trucks should have been allowed to run for 24 hours to address our needs, but they have been stalled, and so we have massive lines at gas stations and severe shortages of diesel at our hospitals and supermarkets.

Long-time PoliNation reader and budding SciFi author, Christine Chase, is about to be published for the first time! I’m so proud, I could just bust!

MAGA 2020 & Beyond

Generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment – this was the time – when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals.

This was the moment we came together to elect Donald Trump to President of the United States of America.

MAGA 2020 & Beyond tell the tales of a prosperous future where evil is defeated, the border wall is built, society has righted itself, space exploration is common and world peace has been attained. These aren’t just fantastical stories of a far fetched future, they are stories of a future that can be obtained.

First Amendment Does Not Apply

NFL Games Operations Manual

“I don’t watch football. I don’t care about football. But I do care about constitutional literacy. Please stop saying football players have first amendment rights to disregard the direction of their private employers while engaged in privately sponsored activities — which is what NFL football games are,” said Collett, a professor at the University of St. Thomas School of Law. “They have no more constitutional protection for their expressive activities than I do for mine at my private Catholic university. Any ‘rights’ they have are based on their contracts and employment law.”

FAKE NEWS ALERT

More fake news from a Leftie posing as a distinguished scholar. Heckuva job, Kruggie.

2017_09 30 Krugman NYT fake news

There is an outbreak of a “c” disease in Puerto Rico but it’s conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, not cholera.  Pink eye is common; I’d wager most of us have had it at least once.  But according to the CDC, the bug that causes cholera is not endemic to the U.S., Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands.

A lot of people who voted for this Dumbocrat “wasn’t educated”

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D., Texas) has a well-documented history of rude and abusive behavior toward her staff and the public, and of lying and making absurdly ignorant remarks, often in prepared statements. Below is a short list of examples.

2014 Jackson Lee lies

  • In 2014, Jackson Lee declared the U.S. Constitution to be 400 years old.
  • In 2013, Jackson Lee called herself a “freed slave.”

In 2011, at a hearing on the radicalization of Islam in America, Jackson Lee sounded off at length and beyond the time allotted to her about how horrible it was that they were there, because apparently talking about the radicalization of Islam is an insult to all Muslims. Or something.

  • In 2010, Jackson Lee said Tea Party members used to belong to the KKK.
  • In 2010, Jackson Lee she said, “Today, we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and working.” At that time, Jackson Lee was a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
  • In 2009, Jackson Lee spoke at pedophile Michael Jackson’s memorial service, calling him an “icon” and “someone who will be honored forever and forever and forever and forever.”
  • In 1997, Jackson Lee asked if the Mars Pathfinder had succeeded in taking a picture of the flag planted on Mars by Neil Armstrong in 1969. At that time, Jackson Lee was a member of the House Committee on Science.

According to Jackson Lee’s Wikipedia bio, she was graduated from both Yale University and the University of Virginia Law School. Methinks she should be considered for the role of poster person for the effort to stop Affirmative Action in our universities.

The Swamp Claims Another Victim

It is appalling how the media takes such an intense interest in investigative journalism only when we have a republican president. Donald Trump has gone through a lot of advisers for a lot of reasons. Gen. McMaster and his son in law Jared Kushner are giving him terrible advice and Gen. Kelly is keeping a lot of important facts from him. All this is to the delight of a savage power that wants nothing more than to destroy him. If not him, then his surrogates. The latest is HHS secretary, Dr. Tom Price.

HHS Secretary Tom Price Resigns After Private Flights Scandal
Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price has resigned, according to the White House after a series of reports uncovered expensive private flights billed to taxpayers for travel.

HHS Secretary Price Resigns Over Travel; Did Obama Aides do the Same?
But let’s also stipulate a couple of things. With President Trump in office, the mainstream media seems to have regained an excitement for investigative journalism that it had lost during Barack Obama’s time in office. I’d like to see an investigation now of the travel habits of Obama cabinet members not involved in national security. I’d be willing to bet it would be revealing.

HHS Secretary Price Resigns Over Travel; Did Obama Aides do the Same?

No One Embodied This Failure Of GOP Leadership Better Than Tom Price
Price’s main job for the White House was to get an Obamacare repeal passed through Congress — a job he failed miserably at. However, that failure is now likely going to be overshadowed by his extensive misuse of public money.
Instead of making the interests of citizens the priority, Republicans are left fighting for their policy in the framework created by their opposition.
The same thing happened with attempting to repeal Obamacare, the issue Andrea Mitchell was able to attack for the lack of diversity among its crafters. Democrats shrieked that millions of people were going to die thanks to evil white men while Republicans made obscure arguments about federalism.
There’s a reason Obamacare has survived repeal after multiple attempts by Trump and his allies in Congress.

Media Celebrate Tom Price’s Resignation As ‘Scalp’ For Politico
Reporters celebrated Price’s resignation as a “scalp” for Politico reporters Dan Diamond and Rachana Pradhan. The two reporters first revealed Price’s use of planes, which reportedly exceeded more than $1 million in taxpayer funds.
One Politico reporter joked that the outlet’s reporters were going to dump “a cooler of Gatorade” on Diamond and Pradhan.
Maggie Severns Retweeted Rachana D. Pradhan

Flight furor: Obama officials also took pricey, non-commercial planes
Top figures during President Barack Obama’s tenure who used non-commercial planes for travel included then-attorney generals Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch, then-FBI director Robert Mueller, and then-CIA director and defense secretary Leon Panetta.
Leon Panetta, who served as both CIA director and defense secretary during the Obama years, frequently used a government airplane to commute back and forth from Washington to California nearly every weekend at taxpayer expense.
The Washington Times reported then that each flight cost about $32,000 but Panetta only had to pay $630 per trip, because that was the cost of an equivalent round-trip commercial flight. It noted that the government required defense secretaries to use a military plane for travel, and Panetta had the approval of Obama to fly home every weekend.

Special counsel investigators start questioning White House staffers
Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team had been expected to start interviewing White House staffers, having already sought a wide variety of documents related to their probe of Russia’s attempted meddling in the 2016 election.
In a separate development, Fox News has learned that congressional investigators as well as federal agents are scrutinizing a Trump campaign national security meeting in March 2016 at Washington, D.C.’s Old Post Office, now the site of the Trump International Hotel.

Librarian mocked on Twitter, chastised by employers

To celebrate “National Read a Book Day,” First Lady Melania Trump sent a collection of 10 Dr. Seuss books to one school in each state across the nation.  Liz Phipps Soeiro, a librarian at the public school in Cambridge, MA, that received the gift wrote a huffy “thanks, but no thanks” letter that sneered at both the fact of the gift and its contents.

  • “My students have access to a school library with over nine thousand volumes and a librarian with a graduate degree in library science.”
  • “Dr. Seuss’s illustrations are steeped in racist propaganda, caricatures, and harmful stereotypes.”

2015 Michelle Obama Dr Seuss

  • Soeiro was soundly and justifiably mocked on Twitter. My personal fave: “Cripes, lady. Come down off the cross. We can use the wood.”
  • Soeiro also received a slap on the wrist from her employers who said she was not authorized to reject the gift and had no business using it to push her personal political agenda.

If Michelle Obama had donated books celebrating gay parenting and a Christian librarian had responded the way Soeiro did, Prog activists would have demanded she be fired immediately and blackballed from working at any library ever again.

Some honesty from the Left

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case that could result in “Right to Work” applying to public sector employees, possibly resulting in no mandatory dues payments to public sector unions.

Democrats would have us believe that their support for unions (which includes opposition to “Right to Work” laws) is All About Workers’ Rights. ThinkProgress Justice Editor Ian Millhiser reveals the Democrats’ real agenda in this surprisingly honest tweet.
