What’s Next?

What would it look like if the Virginia Democrats were Republicans?

Will the Government partially close again in the next week?

State Of The Union 2019

It should be renamed:  Trigger Night!

The Healthcare Fail Part II

Isn’t it interesting that the Crats are harping about healthcare, again, after their epic fail of just 9 years ago?  They should be reminded that they had their shot and blew it, miserably.  If this and the New Green Theft are all they got, they already lost.  It is and always will be about the economy and things are booming and expected to continue down this path for the foreseeable future.  Manufacturing jobs are coming back (cue magic wand) in big numbers and jobs are available in many places.  Wages are rising and despite the Liberal media ignoring it, people can see it in their bank accounts.  The Crats need to find something to offer, because hate and name calling just won’t get it.

The Set Up

Three weeks to find out what we all already know, the Crats will not budge on a physical barrier.  The will force Trump to call a National Emergency at the Southern border and he will be loaded with evidence to support his case when it inevitably ends up in court.  It’s also likely that some activist Judge will rule against him to start this process.  The law is clear as to what can be done and how it must be done.  Congress will have no say in the matter, by law.  They have had plenty of time to fix the problem, like decades, and have failed.  I will be shocked, utterly shocked if Trump gets money for a barrier.  I’m not going to hold my breath though  🙂

 

Zero Credibility

Nuff said!

Draining The Swamp?

 

Critics have long complained that in the bureaucratic nightmare of D.C. politics, it’s almost impossible to fire government employees. It simply doesn’t matter how incompetent, disloyal, or lazy a federal employee is… once they’re in a job, they’re extremely hard to remove.
All they have to do is show up on time, and they’ll have a job for life.

It has been a legal nightmare for the Trump administration, but technically there’s not much the president can do…
Unless federally employees were furloughed for over 30 days.
Then, thanks to technical rules, the Trump administration is legally free to release anyone they want from their contract. And the White House can do so without cause — which saves a mountain of paperwork.
No lawsuit threats. No mass walkouts. No strikes. No paperwork.

In just three days, the White House can finally start clearing house.
And Schumer and pals never saw it coming.

 

The Optics Matter

As we continue with the border barrier standoff, the Crats seem to have forgotten that optics are as important as what is said, and sometimes more so.  Pelosi in Hawaii, and now many Crats on the beach in Puerto Rico just doesn’t look good to many Americans.  I simply don’t think they care about the people, at least that is the message being sent via the optics.  Here’s a little cartoon that puts optics into perspective:

The Games Continue

To Wall Or Not To Wall

Only the Crats could play politics with the safety and security of the American people.

 

Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019

Shut Down Time

Dear Chuck Shumer,

President Trump said he would shut down the government if he didn’t get the money for the border wall.  Fair enough, but in order to blame President Trump, he must have a Bill to veto.  The People’s House has passed a Bill he will sign.  Since this looks to come down to your Democrats and how they vote on said Bill, you should understand that you can’t blame something on Trump that you in fact do first.  It doesn’t matter one wit how many times Trump has said he will shut down the government, without that magic veto, he is off the hook.  Sorry to disappoint you!

Sincerely,

Mr. Common Sense

Abuse of Power Must Be Made A Crime

After the last election, some winners have come out and have openly stated they will abuse the power of their office.  We all know about Ocasio-Cortez’s threat, but I think we can just attest that to her being stupid (and that’s being nice).  Another elected official has also came out with her plans to abuse her political office:

Via NBC News:
New York Attorney Gen.-elect Letitia James says she plans to launch sweeping investigations into President Donald Trump, his family and “anyone” in his circle who may have violated the law once she settles into her new job next month.
“We will use every area of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions and that of his family as well,” James, a Democrat, told NBC News in her first extensive interview since she was elected last month.
James outlined some of the probes she intends to pursue with regard to the president, his businesses and his family members. They include:
** Any illegalities involving Trump’s real estate holdings in New York, highlighting the October New York Times investigation into the president’s finances.
** The June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Russian official.
** Examine government subsidies Trump received, which were also the subject of Times investigative work.
** Whether he is in violation of the emoluments clause in the U.S. Constitution through his New York businesses.
** Continue to probe the Trump Foundation.
“We want to investigate anyone in his orbit who has, in fact, violated the law,” said James, who was endorsed by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

No decent person will ever want to run for public office, who can blame them.

My Favorite Socialist

Ocasio-Cortez will be the gift that keeps giving.  After this meme, referring to Venezuela, my favorite Socialist decided to reply with this:

I have noticed that Junior here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the Mueller investigation heats up.

Please, keep it coming Jr – it’s definitely a “very, very large brain” idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month.

Have fun! https://t.co/oQ6MsdJYCk

There it is, the Socialist mentality in one Tweet 😀

The Left Refuse To Accept Reality

Riots in France are raging into their fourth week, but American mainstream media outlets like CBS and CNN are having a tough time reporting on exactly why tens of thousands of French citizens are taking to the streets — perhaps because the protests are motivated by French President Emmanuel Macron’s burdensome “anti-Climate Change” policies.
More than 400 people were arrested over the weekend — and more than 200 were injured — as French citizens, clad in the now ubiquitous yellow safety vests (which residents of France are required by law to keep in their vehicles for emergencies) marched down the Champs-Élysées, a tony shopping and restaurant district in central Paris, to protest their ever-increasing government tax burden.
To be sure, Macron’s recent efforts to combat “climate change” and reduce France’s dependence on “fossil fuels” by levying a new tax on gasoline and other household fuels is not the only reason the French are protesting, but fuel tax is the “straw that broke the camel’s back.” French citizens were already hit with a tax increase in January, and more than 60% of the cost of fuel in France comes from government fees.

This seems to be a pattern with the Liberal media, simply not telling the truth because if the truth got told, the Crats would easily be destroyed in the next election.  Let’s not fool ourselves, the Left want these kinds of taxes to fight their fairytale Climate Change, or their fight against fossil fuels, which has raged for decades.  Just more proof that Socialist policies are a failure.

Doom and Gloom

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/climate-report-warns-of-grim-economic-consequences-more-weather-disasters-in-us

Here we are again, another doom and gloom climate change report making more dire predictions for the future.  Don’t worry, next year they will fix their math and things will be fine again.  Is weather getting worse?  I don’t see it.  Are the storms getting more powerful?  I don’t see it.  The polar ice sheets are still there and will be for ever.  The coastal cities are not under water and there are no evacuation plans for such an event.  Record X will get broken and climate change will be blamed.  The climate folks won’t see the irony that the record was set long before Global warming/climate change/doom and gloom was even thought of.

The Divide That Won’t Go Away

A Zogby Analytics poll may explain why this is true.  While 2/3rds of those polled blamed Trump, an even higher percentage, 75%, blamed the media.

Some of the key demographic findings listed below in bullet points.

• Men (70% agree) and women (73% agree) were very much in agreement (strongly and somewhat agree combined) about the role the mainstream media plays in dividing the public and spreading hate.

• Interestingly, younger voters age 18-24 and age 18-29 (81-82% strongly and somewhat agree/18-19% strongly and somewhat disagree) were much more likely to blame the media for spreading hate and misunderstanding than older voters age 65+ (62% strongly and somewhat agree/38% strongly and somewhat disagree) and age 70+ (67% strongly and somewhat agree/33% strongly and somewhat disagree).

• Republicans (94% agree/6% disagree) were almost twice as likely to agree compared to Democrats (51% agree/49% disagree) with the media’s role in dividing voters and spreading hate. Independents were more in line with voters overall: 74% agreed and 26% disagreed.

• White (76% agree/24% disagree) and Hispanic (64% agree/36% disagree) voters were more likely to agree that the mainstream media plays a part in spreading hate and misunderstanding, while black voters were most likely to disagree (54% agree/46% disagree).

I don’t blame Trump nearly as much as the media.  I see him as fighting back against the machine that has been against him from the beginning.  If fighting the biased media and upholding immigration laws is divisive, then so be it.  The reality is simple.  As long as the media continues as they are, the divide will never go away.

Post Election, What’s Next?

At this point, nothing has really changed.  The MSM is still doing the same stuff, Antifa is still acting like Fascists and there is more evidence of Acosta abusing a woman than there ever was on Bret Kavanaugh. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the newest Communist to represent New Yorkers, will likely sponsor a bill giving free tuition to the Electoral College, and Nancy Pelosi will bring it to the floor.  A dead Brothel owner defeated his Democrat opponent in Las Vegas 36th District State Assembly race, if that don’t tell how bad the Democrat was, I don’t know what will.  Liberal media hacks are still throwing the race card, keep it up for the next two years, please.  Speaking of white privilege, we had our first measurable snowfall yesterday, about 1 inch.  It went away and came back this morning.  I guess it’s racist too  🙂

 

The Next Most Important Election In Our Lifetime

We may as well get used to the claim of “Most important election in our lifetime” because every two years it’s likely what we are going to hear.  That could only be true if we were voting to remove the whole lot and start over with a better quality of representatives.  Since that isn’t going to happen anytime soon, we are stuck with what we have.

 

The Caravan Conundrum

The immigration issue is about to be front and center just before the Midterms.  President Trump is preparing a Executive Order to deal with this issue.  Immigration is a hot issue and the timing of this can’t be worse for the Crats.  When Trump issues the EO, the Crats will either do as they have done before, and lost at the SCOTUS, and file a lawsuit to stop a legal EO.  Most likely, a Liberal Judge will issue an order stopping it, and the White House will push a fast track to SCOTUS.  That all a guess of course.  Who get’s hurt politically because of this issue?  Plus, a fake bomber and a Jew hater in Pittsburgh (who also hates Trump).  Insanity sure is visible these days.

 

How will the Left Act….

I fully expect that the Leftist tactics of harassment, intimidation and violence to continue and even escalate leading up to the election.  I also expect some retaliation from the Right, as was the case in Florida recently, although I would prefer that the Right only engage when necessary.  Most people don’t like these tactics and a lot of them are totally fed up with the Left.  This will lead to a Big Blue Wave….Goodbye!  The more the Left engages in Gestapo tactics, the more they hurt themselves.  The Liberal media isn’t helping them and are being called out on a daily basis.  I do feel bad for those Democrats who are getting caught up in this but do not support these activities.  Their side have left them in limbo and they have been given two choices, Socialism or Freedom.

 

More Honduran Migrants Coming!

Various news reports are stating that a caravan of about 1300 Honduran migrants are heading to the U.S. in an attempt to escape the poverty and gang violence in their home country.  I have held the position in the past that these people need to stay home and fix their own country, but I have changed this line of thinking.  I think it is time to listen to these people.  Let’s take them in and get their story, make it public and figure out what the hell can be done to stop this in the future.  Why have I changed my thinking you ask?  Because we finally have a leader who can fix it sitting in the White House.  The question is, do we?

 

Embracing Violence

Democrats have now embraced violence in their quest for power.  These are the actions of a desperate people who’s policies have failed miserably and have nothing positive to offer.  Recent comments back this assertion up, for example:

We can’t be civil with Republicans until we win – Hillary Clinton

When Republics go low, we kick them – Eric Holder

Maxine Waters, Cory Booker and others have chosen this road as well.  Intimidation and violence will backfire, non-lunatics don’t like it.  This will only get worse as time goes on, because that’s how losers act.  Then we have this coming down the pike:

Political Civility is Dead

We can all see how things are happening around this country.  The lunatic Left are attacking conservatives every where.  At a Texas college rally, signs were ripped from peoples hands and tore up.  I’m pretty sure this is a crime, e call it theft of a person and it’s a felony.  Time to enforce it.  Vandalism of Republican offices.  Yelling and screaming at Republicans in public, protesting at public venues such as restaurants, doxing private information etc.  Goofy Liberals on TV making idiots of themselves (The View comes to mind).  I expect it to get worse.  I also intend to wear a new MAGA hat.  It’s time for #NoMore

 

Remember When

 

What Do The Crats Have To Offer….Cont.

Still a simple question!

 

What Do The Crat’s Have To Offer?

Just a simple question  🙂

 

The Mentally Ill Left

Nothing these days says mentally ill like the hate of Donald Trump that is on display each and every day by so many on the Left.  They can’t even give a eulogy at a funeral without taking shots at him.  The Liberal media, constantly claiming he’s lawless, he’s a racist etc along with all his supporters just add to the evidence of mental illness.  The walls are closing in they say and have been saying for almost 2 years with absolutely no evidence, that’s mentally ill.  The economy is booming, consumer confidence is skyrocketed, black and Hispanic unemployment at all time lows or very near, yet the Left still hates.  That’s mentally ill.

 

Chicago

What should be done to deal with the shootings and killings in Chicago?  This shouldn’t be political, but it will.  Sadly, Chicago will run out of young blacks before politicians actually do anything.  So, I ask why?

 

Useless Media Hacks

The Liberal media, in there own arrogance, colluded (yes, I used that word) to write opinion pieces against Trump in over 300 newspapers nationwide.  All this did was prove exactly what Trump has been saying, the Media are the enemy of the people.  I don’t mean a violent enemy, but an enemy of unbiased reporting of the free press.  The Liberal media, namely Cuomo on CNN is actually supporting the violent antics of Antifa, the fascist radicals whose name is a lie.  They feign anger at ICE arresting a wanted murderer after they caught him taking his pregnant wife to the hospital.  These people are SICK.  And, they have rendered themselves useless, with nothing to offer the people of this country.

 

Who Are The Truth Tellers?

It’s been well known for some time that the MSM is seriously biased, mostly to the Left, with FOX holding a Right Wing view.  Alternative media is under attack by the Liberal run tech giants, as conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has been banned by most Social Media and many other sites are being shadow banned on Fakebook and Twitter.  Sadly, what is being most affected is Conservative views on Social media, while sites for Antifa and clowns like Louis Farrakan are still running strong.  The local news, after covering the killings and robberies (Pittsburgh) are just repeating the MSM talking points.  Journalism is dead.  With that said, who are todays truth tellers?  The answer is……who is being censored the most?
