In addition to your prayers for those devastated by Hurricane Harvey, please remember to pray for those affected by the huge wildfire in LA. Last I heard, it was 30% contained.
Also continue to pray that Hurricane Irma fizzles. It’s looking like it may hit Florida on Friday. Ditto the 50+ wildfires in Montana and Idaho where more than half a million acres are going up in smoke.
The plan was to hold onto this until tomorrow but I have another rant in mind. Besides, like visitors and fish, news begins to stink after a few days.
Woman of the People=> Hillary to Charge Toronto Residents $2400 to Meet Her on Her Book Tour
Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton proves once again that she truly is the woman of the people while she charges Toronto residents $2400 each to meet her on her book tour.
Hillary also announced that she would FINALLY be visiting Wisconsin, a state she ignored during the Presidential election and ultimately lost to Donald Trump-to promote her new book. Hillary has no shame. She’ll travel to places to collect money and peddle her book, but didn’t care enough to talk to the American people face to face during the election.
One thing is for sure, Hillary Clinton has been consistent about one thing her entire life–her insatiable greed
The opportunity to meet Clinton on her book tour is something that best-selling conservative author, radio host and political humorist Mark Steyn called “a hell of a steal” during a Wednesday appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight.

RIVETING STUFF, ISN’T IT?
I THINK IT’S A REAL TESTAMENT TO THEIR HUMANITY THAT THEY GAVE A SHOUTOUT TO ALL THE POOR FOLK WHO LOST EVERYTHING DOWN THERE IN REDNECK LAND. WHAT NICE PEOPLE
First, I’d like to ask you to join in holding our beloved Chrissy and her family up in prayer as they face a monumental struggle. We all have faced obstacles to some degree, it’s a part of life. Almighty God sets challenges before us and only complete faith in Him will see us through.
The mask is off.The true intent of elected republican officials has been exposed.Their forte is that of playing the role of Walter Mitty-like characters raging against their democrat foes when they are in the minority and have nothing to lose.Time and again,they have railed against what the ruthless Barack Obama and his co-conspirators have wrought,such as Obamacare,immigration,deregulation and tax relief.It’s easy to boast about what you would do if ‘you only had the power.’Even with control of both the House and the Senate Obama acted as a governing body unto himself.
The GOP was given everything they claimed they needed with the election of Donald Trump last November.Eight months on they have accomplished nothing.The shameful truth is that they never intended to.Leading is hard.Someone may say bad things about you.Democrats have a most powerful weapon in their most dedicated allies, the media.The Alt Right has no such help.
The true patriots of this nation face a Hobson’s Choice.Vote for these yellow cowards or allow our country to fall into the clutches of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer once again.
“Vote them out!” you say.Won’t happen.the entrenched elite have the power to crush all challengers to maintain the status quo.During the Tea Party movement in 2010 they picked up more than 80 seats in Congress.Most had never held elected office before.When they got to Washington they were summarily ordered by McConnell,Boehner and the rest of the reptiles to shut up,do what you’re told or their tenure in DC would be a short one.They would be deprived of committee assignments and would face primary challengers fully funded by the RNC and their corporate masters.
Dianne over at Patriot Retort posted an article this morning on the real reason the republicans don’t want DACA to end:
The reason President Obama, in his unconstitutional role as pretend legislator, unilaterally created DACA was because the actual legislative branch did not have the votes to pass an actual law.
And the reason is simple.
Americans were sick and tired of Washington bending over backwards for illegal aliens while we take it up the back door.
But instead of accepting that the American people – through their representatives – were saying “no” to the DREAM Act, Barack Obama simply passed the DREAM Act with the stroke of a pen.
As if he was both the Executive branch and the Legislative branch.
In other words, Obama violated the constitutional Separation of Powers to enact a law Congress couldn’t pass.
And at the time he did this, most Republicans in Congress were outraged.
Even Paul Ryan whined like a stuck pig about how unconstitutional DACA was.
But that was all for show.
They know if Trump ends DACA, they will be forced to act on the so-called DREAM Act.
And the last thing these guys want is to once again be seen screwing over their constituents while being caught in yet another campaign lie.So if Trump ends it — and they are forced to betray their voters while siding with Democrats and illegal aliens – Republican incumbents know they’ll be in trouble in 2018.
RINO Lindsey Graham: We Will Work to Find DACA Fix
In 2007 while speaking to the radical La Raza organization, Graham said he was going to tell the “bigots” who opposed amnesty to “shut up.”
“If President Trump chooses to cancel the DACA program and give Congress six months to find a legislative solution, I will be supportive of such a position,” Graham said in a statement. “I have always believed DACA was a presidential overreach. However, I equally understand the plight of the Dream Act kids who — for all practical purposes — know no other country than America.”
TRANSLATION: WE CAN PUT OFF MAKING ANY HARD DECISIONS INDEFINITELY BECAUSE WE WANT TO PRETEND WE CARE ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS MUCH AS WE CARE ABOUT OURSELVES
FROM KURT SCHLICHTER AT HOT AIR:
Yeah, so after nearly two years of tiresome finger-wagging about “the Rule of Law” and how we need to put our “principles” above our desire for “winning,” the whole sordid scam we always knew it always was is revealed for the world to see. They can’t hide it anymore and they aren’t even trying. Their glorious “conservative principles” aren’t principles at all but a skeevy ploy designed to tie our hands and keep us from pursuing policy goals our establishment coalition partners disfavor. They want open borders. They want illegals. They want cheap foreign labor that doesn’t get uppity to man their donors’ corporations so the Captains of Crony Capitalism don’t have to fuss with American workers who won’t tolerate being treated like chattel. Yeah, “we’re better than that” all right – if you mean that we are better than enforcing the laws the American people passed through a constitutional process if the ruling class decides it doesn’t like them.
“The Rule of Law” is for us, not for them. “The Rule of Law” was supposed to be a shield to protect us from the ravages of the powerful, but our Truer-Than-You Cons
use it as a sword to cut our legs out from under us and keep us from defending our own interests.
Report: Obama ready to “speak out” if Trump cancels DACA
THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAS THREATENED TO TAKE TIME OUT OF HIS BUSY VACATION SCHEDULE TO SPEAK BEFORE THE SWOONING MEDIA, WHO’VE BEEN CAST ADRIFT SINCE HE WAS FORCED TO LEAVE OFFICE.
He said he would not remain silent in the face of “efforts to round up kids who have grown up here and for all practical purposes are American kids, and send them someplace else, when they love this country.”…
“Back to a country they don’t know with a language they don’t speak?” the person close to Obama said. “It’s cruel.”
Why attack Trump now? I think there’s more to it than DACA just being near and dear to Obama’s heart. He knows that congressional Republicans are going to be jammed up here to an unusual degree. Immigration is a fraught issue for the GOP under the best of circumstances but DREAMers are an especially hard case due to their having come here as children. https://hotair.com/archives/2017/09/04/report-obama-ready-speak-trump-cancels-daca/
IN RETROSPECT I SHOULD HAVE SAVED THIS ONE FOR MY NEXT CRINGEWORTHY POST
I’m going to give posting a miss today. My heart isn’t in it. We just got photos of the devastation our loved ones (2 retired sisters living in the home their dad built) experienced.
They were safe, having gone out of state for the eclipse, and have a place to stay (another sister who wasn’t flooded). But they (and everyone in their neighborhood) lost EVERYTHING.
I’m signed up to make a quilt and make new photo albums from whatever images were digitized and stored off-site. I’m really glad to finally have something I can DO to help somebody down there. But, dear Lord, these photos make me want to weep.

Of Course: CNN to Air New Reagan-Bashing Film on Labor Day
On Labor Day, CNN will air The Reagan Show, a new film bashing the 40th president. In case you thought it would be anything other than hostile, the ads make the goal clear. A clip of Reagan saying, “Together we will make America great again,” is paired with a blurb from the website Screen Daily: “An elaborately constructed parable for the Trump era.”
National Review exposed just how nasty the documentary is:
The continuing popularity of President Reagan is a source of profound irritation and unease to liberals. To assuage their pain, they have gone back to their initial rationalization for how Reagan became so beloved: He cheated. Though a lousy actor, he nonetheless fooled the common man with his mesmeric performing skills. It’s the old false-consciousness story: If we liked the man, trickery must have been involved. https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/scott-whitlock/2017/08/29/be-aware-cnn-air-new-reagan-bashing-film-labor-day
AND IN OTHER NEWS:
Report: Trump Will End DACA With Six Month Delay
The sources stated that Trump will delay enforcement for six months and give Congress the opportunity to write proper immigration legislation.
Remember, DACA is not a law or even an Executive Order. All DACA is a Department of Homeland Security policy that officials announced via memo. http://legalinsurrection.com/2017/09/report-trump-will-end-daca-with-six-month-delay/

MTP Panelist Claims DACA Opposition by Trump Base Driven by Race DIDN’T SEE THAT ONE COMING, RIGHT?
According to the professor, Trump was only playing to his base who only cared about DACA because they were white. “We can think about the policy issues but there is this kind of cultural undertow,” he asserted.
“This is really red meat to his base that it’s really speaking to a kind of deep seated cultural anxiety about the changing nature of the country,” he claimed. “That this immigration issue is not about securing the border and it’s not about jobs, it’s not about fixing a bad immigration policy.” https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2017/09/03/mtp-panelist-claims-daca-opposition-trump-base-driven-race

Shameless: ABC Exploits Harvey Aftermath to Push for DACA Before Raddatz began pushing for DACA, she began her segment by highlighting the recovery efforts and shadowed a local police chief has he aided a shelter. “But the chief’s work to help evacuees may be complicated by a new challenge. President Trump set to announce his decision this week on whether to end the DACA program,” she bemoaned.
“Houston has one of the highest populations of so-called ‘Dreamers’ in the country,” Raddatz noted. “We met one of them. 15-year-old Jasmine Medrano.

The budget for Obamacare “navigators” is being cut by 90%.
And good riddance! Last year, they received over $62.5 million in federal grants while enrolling only 81,426 individuals. One program was paid $200,000 and signed up only one person. I haven’t done the math, but I’m thinking maybe we could have insured those people for less.

The media despise Donald Trump. Always will. There hasn’t been a lot of positive said about how he’s handled the disasters in Texas, but anything positive would only be grudgingly given. He visited again yesterday on his way to Louisiana. The spirit, the courage, the love for your neighbor has been undeniable from the beginning. Pettiness and prejudices have been set aside, since everyone shares the suffering equally.
In stark contrast, Barack Obama would not deign to cut his vacation in Martha’s Vineyard short just last year when Louisiana suffered massive floods. He said “he was monitoring the situation closely.” As usual, the media mostly gave him a pass.
This is a national day of prayer. Rejoice and be glad in it.
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump took time on Saturday to visit flood victims in Houston, Texas and Louisiana. It was their second trip to the flood damaged region.
In 2016, Obama sent out a letter lecturing flood victims about racism. The Washington Times reported:
“President Obama has refused so far to survey the Louisiana flood disaster, but he did let state and local officials know that he’s watching to make sure they don’t engage in racial discrimination.
“In a 16-page guidance issued Tuesday, the Obama administration, led by the Justice Department, warned Louisiana recipients of federal disaster assistance against engaging in ‘unlawful discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin (including limited English proficiency).’”
It was just one year ago, August 2016. Massive flooding in Louisiana damaged or destroyed 60,700 homes in the state, 102,000 people registered for federal assistance, 13 people lost their life.
Where was President Obama? On a 16-day vacation on Martha’s Vineyard. He decided to finish up his vacation rather than cut it short and visit the devastated region. Take a look at these articles from 2016.
THE LEFT MAY CRITICIZE TRUMP FOR “PHOTO OPS” AND SUCH, BUT TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST EVERYTHING IT MUST BE A COMFORT KNOWING THAT THE PRESIDENT YOU DIDN’T VOTE FOR IS THERE TO SEE THAT YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR LIFE BACK TOGETHER AGAIN. THIS, DEAR FRIENDS, IS WHAT LEADERSHIP LOOKS LIKE:
Trump praises ‘cooperation and coordination’ after he and Melania swing by Texas and Louisiana to visit thousands made homeless by Hurricane Harvey
Donald and Melania Trump flew out of Joint Air Base Andrews in Washington at around 9.30 on Saturday. They arrived in Houston in the early afternoon and went straight to the NRG Stadium to meet evacuees.
Melania, who received criticism for the glamorous outfit she chose to travel to Texas in earlier in the week, was defiant with her wardrobe choices on Saturday. She first emerged from the White House in a $1590 Ralph Lauren dress and $650 pair of Manolo Blahnik heels before changing on board Air Force One into a denim shirt, jeans and sneakers.
After spending time with evacuees at the stadium, the pair went on to a church in Pearland where Trump heaped praise on Texas governor Greg Abbott and congratulated him on doing a ‘terrific job’ since Harvey hit.
HOW DO YOU THINK THIS LADY FELT?
SORRY FOR SO MANY PICTURES, BUT DOGGONE IT, IT FEELS GREAT TO HAVE THE PRESIDENT FELLOWSHIP WITH EVERYONE.
CtH: Thank you so much! I’m not feeling so hot today, but these pics cheered me right up!
Melania Defies Her Fashion Critics, Sports Snakeskin Pumps as She Heads Toward Texas SHE COULDN’T CARE LESS WHAT ANYBODY SAYS

The New York Post reports that she chose to wear snakeskin Manolo Blahnik pumps as she accompanied her husband on a second visit to the areas in Texas hit by Hurricane Harvey, this time to meet with the victims of the storm.

Trump Asks Congress For Nearly $8 Billion To Help Fund Harvey Rescue Effort
President Donald Trump asked Congress Friday night for $7.8 billion to help those left in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Harvey, which pelted parts of Texas with near-Biblical amounts of rain.
Trump’s request was significantly larger than what many experts had expected, as some Congressional sources believed the administration would ask for at least $5.5 billion. The bulk of the funds would go to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, but the request also etched out $450 million for the Small Business Administration.

President Trump Thanks National Guard and Cajun Navy in Louisiana for their Service
All Hail the Cajun Navy and their meal counterpart — Cajun Gravy
Using social media and the Zello walkie talkie app, Cajun Navy members were able to locate and deploy to those needing rescue.
But the navy isn’t the only band of volunteers sent by our sister state Louisiana. A caravan of meal-makers, going by “Cajun Gravy” showed up to do what they do best — feed people, and first responders in particular.
YOU’D NEVER HEARD OF THE ‘CAJUN GRAVY’? YOU HAVE NOW.
While Louisiana’s Cajun Navy is hard at work rescuing Texans from the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, The Cajun Gravy is making sure first responders are well fed. The Cajun Gravy is cooking up famous Louisiana dishes, including things like jambalaya and red beans and rice.
Thursday afternoon, they were operating out of Orange, Texas at a temporary housing location for about 1,000 first responders. Among those being served are Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries agents, Louisiana and Texas National Guard members, strike teams, and water rescue personnel.
A group of Louisiana cooks from the cities of Baton Rouge, Gonzales, and Donaldsonville formed the group after seeing the devastation left behind by Hurricane Harvey. One of the founders, Kyle Rome, owns Kickstands Kitchen, a catering company in Ascension Parish.
