WWHD?… What Would Hillary Do?
Every day I thank Almighty God that we have Donald Trump as our president and not that greedy, lying, corrupt hag with a heart as black as night. Every day the attacks on our president begin anew. It would break a lesser man, but the establishment has never had to deal with anybody like Trump. They beat on him mercilessly over the relief efforts in Puerto Rico and the Gulf. He doesn’t do things to be liked… he does them because it’s the right thing to do.
President Trump’s inaugural committee will give $3 million to hurricane relief
According to the Times, the private committee raised $107 million for the inauguration. It’s unclear how much money the committee still has.
“The surplus of these privately donated funds will be put to great substantive use for relief victims throughout the heartbreaking regions of America impacted by the recent catastrophic disaster,” committee chairman Thomas Barrack Jr. told the Times

More Evidence Facebook Is Targeting Conservative News Outlets
THEY HAVE AN ARMY OF BEDWETTING THUMB SUCKERS JUST LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO BE OFFENDED BY. APPARENTLY I FOUND OUT UNINTENTIONALLY.
Conservatives shunned traditional media for online news outlets in 2016.
A Columbia Journalism Review study in March found that The Drudge Report, Breitbart, FOX News, The Hill and The Gateway Pundit were the most prominent conservative news outlets during the 2016 election.

Hillary Clinton’s Lawyer Helped Facebook Avoid Political Ad Disclosures
GEE, THERE’S A SURPRISE
Elias and the team argued that because the ads were so small that such a disclosure would be impractical, CNN reports. The Federal Election Commission, which consists of three Democrats and three Republicans, split 3-3 on their vote of allowing Facebook to forego the disclaimers.
However, the split vote allowed savvy lawyers to work around the request since the FEC did not issue an opinion. Facebook went ahead and allowed political advertisements on its site without disclosures following the commission’s gridlock.

Senators close to bipartisan deal on health exchanges: Schumer
SCHUMER: DROP THE REPEAL OF OBAMACARE AND WE’LL SHOW YOU HOW TO REALLY SCREW OVER THE MIDDLE CLASS… WE’VE BEEN DOING IT FOR YEARS
Schumer said Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander, a Republican, and ranking Democrat Patty Murray had resurrected a bipartisan approach, which had been cast aside amid the latest near-vote on a repeal bill.

Democrats’ best hope for 2020: Oprah
OH, PLEASE
If you need to set a thief to catch a thief, you need a star — a grand, outsized, fearless star whom Trump can neither intimidate nor outshine — to catch a star. We’re through the looking glass here. America is discarding old approaches in politics. Democrats will have to do the same to match the mood to the moment.
TRUMP IS A THIEF NOW?

Trump just picked two conservatives for the 5th Circuit, one of which is Justice Don Willett
ANOTHER HUGE REASON TO BE GRATEFUL FOR TRUMP
Texas Supreme Court Justice Don Willett:
Willett — a prolific Twitter user whose wit with more than 96,000 followers and the title of Texas “Tweeter Laureate” –had gently mocked Trump in some tweets during the campaign for the White House.
Dallas appellate lawyer James Ho:
Ho, a naturalized U.S. citizen, moved to this country with his family from Taiwan when he was a young child. He received a bachelor’s degree from Stanford University and his law degree from the University of Chicago School of Law.
Trump just picked two conservatives for the 5th Circuit, one of which is Justice Don Willett!!
It’s time for Mitch McConnell to go
Make no mistake, Tuesday’s Republican Senate primary in Alabama centered on McConnell’s failures. Stephen Bannon, on television before Roy Moore’s victory, declared McConnell guilty of “economic hate crimes” against the middle class. There is delightful timing in Moore winning his primary battle against the McConnell-funded Sen. Luther Strange on the very day that McConnell surrendered in the health-care fight.

Elementary School Librarian Rejects ‘Racist Propaganda’ Dr. Seuss Books From Melania Trump
“I work in a district that has plenty of resources, which contributes directly to ‘excellence,'” Soeiro wrote. “Cambridge, Massachusetts, is an amazing city with robust social programming, a responsive city government, free all-day kindergarten, and well-paid teachers (relatively speaking — many of us can’t afford to live in the city in which we teach). Soeiro added that the first lady should be donating books to school libraries in cities like Detroit, Philadelphia, and Chicago, because their libraries are being “shuttered” by policies put in place by Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.

Kamala Harris gets potentially huge boost due to change in Democrats’ presidential primary schedule
Presidential contenders will now need to invest time and money into vying for California’s hundreds of delegates. Running campaigns in California is a costly proposition because the vast state encompasses several major media markets, which requires multiple ad buys.
The move could also buoy Ms Harris, a first-term Democrat whose potential presidential aspirations have fueled rumors since shortly after she took office. Having served two terms as the state’s attorney general, Ms Harris would have the advantage of name recognition and an existing donor network.

Progressive Criticizes Jesus for Not Being Very Christlike
From The Babylon Bee.
SEATTLE, WA—After reading several chapters from the gospels over the weekend, local progressive believer Wendy Butler reportedly published a Patheos blog post in which she criticized Jesus of Nazareth for “not being very Christlike.”
The blog post took Jesus to task for His “unloving and problematic” teachings.
“He devotes entire sections of His sermons to ranting about archaic religious concepts like hell and the last judgment instead of just coming alongside the marginalized and affirming their sins,” Butler said. “Very little of what He did on earth I would describe as life-giving. Frankly, I do a better job of being Christlike than Christ Himself.”
The woman was also agitated to find that Jesus didn’t devote any of His time recorded in the Scriptures to advocating for government-subsidized healthcare or women’s abortion rights.
“He had a few good things to say about loving our neighbors, but the bad outweighs the good in Jesus’ teachings, if we’re looking at things honestly here,” her essay continued. “He really needed to ask Himself, ‘What would Jesus do?’ more often, and then He’d have devoted a lot more of His time to social justice, like me.”
At publishing time, a horrified Butler had discovered the description of the Redeemer coming in His wrath in Revelation 19.

Apocalypse Now?
I haven’t done the research on this, because I don’t have the astronomy software to verify his statements. But it’s interesting and I’ve blogged about similar things in the past, so here it is for whatever it’s worth to you. I have no idea what it means, apart from the usual, which is true for all of us regardless of how near or far away the end of the world may be:
Jesus can call you home at any time, so keep yourselves holy and prayed up! And don’t forget that, while we are saved by faith, we will be judged on our works. Don’t believe me? Read Matthew 25 and the Epistle of James.
“And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. And being with child, she cried travailing in birth, and was in pain to be delivered. –Revelation 12:1-2
On November 20, 2016, Jupiter, the King planet, entered into the “womb” of the constellation Virgo the Virgin. This day was also the Feast of Christ the King and the last day of Pope Francis’ declared “Year of Mercy.”
Due to retrograde motion, the King planet spent the next 9 ½ months within the “womb” of the Virgin constellation.
On September 23, 2017, while the moon was at the feet of Virgo and the sun was rising directly behind her, Jupiter moved out of the “womb.” Upon the Virgin’s head were twelve “stars”, formed by the nine stars of the constellation Leo the Lion (another king), with the planets Mercury (Messenger), Venus (Woman), and Mars (Man).
The celestial “birth” of the King planet on September 23rd occurred just 3 weeks before October 13, 2017, which will be the 100th anniversary of the great miracle of the sun at Fatima.
On October 13, 1884, exactly 33 years prior to miracle, Pope Leo XIII had a vision in which he heard God grant Satan one hundred years to try and destroy the Church. Jesus was 33 years old when he died and rose again. Immediately after his vision, Pope Leo XIII composed this prayer to St. Michael.

Life Without Social Networking
In retrospect, I managed to survive more than the first 60 years of my life without Facebook. To date, I’ve sent one text in my entire life. I don’t tweet, snapchat, or instagram, and I’ve yet to feel the need to take a picture of myself. My phone flips and I only carry it while I’m working. I’ve been spending a lot of time watching videos of old songs I remembered from my wasted youth on YouTube and commenting on sports blogs. I even learned how to fillet a catfish.
Trump plan promises huge tax cuts, but big questions remain
Trump declared repeatedly the plan would provide badly needed tax relief for the middle class. But there are too many gaps in the proposal to know how it actually would affect individual taxpayers and families, how it would be paid for and how much it might add to the soaring $20 trillion national debt.
WHY IS IT WHEN A REPUBLICAN PROPOSES CUTTING TAXES THE LEFT SCREAMS: “HOW ARE WE GOING TO PAY FOR IT??” YET, WHEN THEY SHOVE TAX INCREASES DOWN THE MIDDLE CLASS’S THROATS, THEY NEVER ASK HOW THE PEOPLE WILL PAY FOR IT?
[CtH: They also never factor in how much increased business and more jobs stimulated by the cuts will increase tax income.]
Trump tax plan eliminates big perk for high-tax states
President Trump will release a sweeping plan Wednesday to cut taxes and simplify the tax code that will eliminate the deduction for state and local taxes — a move that Gov. Andrew Cuomo has warned would be a “death blow” for New York.
[CtH: Cuomo and his Democrat cronies have been trying to kill New York for decades. And since when do Democrats care about rich people? Aren’t the rich not supposed to get deductions in their world, cuz it’s not FAIR … or something?]
Repealing it would increase federal revenue by $1.3 trillion over the decade, according to the Tax Policy Center. But it would also slam high-income New Yorkers. Manhattan leads the way nationally in taking the deduction, with residents writing off an average of $24,898 on their federal returns. Deductions would remain for mortgage interest and charitable contributions. Also, the standard deduction would nearly double to $12,000 for individuals and $24,000 for married couples.

Trump: ‘Democrats Don’t Want Massive Tax Cuts’
While some Democrats are already working with the president, a coalition of roughly 45 Democrats in the Senate, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, could give the administration trouble going forward. This group has promised to reject any bill that cuts taxes on the wealthy.
[CtH: So they’re against increasing taxes on wealthy New Yorkers AND decreasing taxes on wealthy Americans? Oooookay.]

Michelle Obama: Women Who Didn’t Vote for Hillary Clinton ‘Voted Against Their Own Voice’
She continued, “It doesn’t say as much about Hillary and everybody is trying to wonder, ‘Well what does it mean for Hillary?’ Well no, what does it mean for us, as women, that we look at those two candidates and many of us said, ‘That guy? He’s better for me. His voice is more true to me.’ Well, to me that just says you don’t like your voice. You like the thing we’re told to like—the voice we are told we are supposed to like. You bought into that.”
[Cth: Pardon my French, but … bullshit. You don’t know diddly DAMN about my “voice.”]
Chuck Todd: Roy Moore ‘Doesn’t Appear to Believe in the Constitution as It’s Written’
For any non-revisionist individual who’s read the Constitution or commentaries on it, they would know that Todd’s slam against Moore is pure and utter fake news. Why? It’s because the Constitution ensures that our God-given rights aren’t hinged upon by the government.

Maxine Waters: Black women can get Trump out of office
“Black women, because we have evolved with strength and voting power and economic power, this is a special moment in the history of black women,” Waters told The Root.

Dems cautious but hopeful in Ala. after Moore win
