[The lamestream is now reduced to reporting on every Russian who ever had anything to do with US, or who traveled to America and in some way dealt with Trump or let his shadow fall on a Trump property.  What does that say to the work product of special prosecutor Mueller after all these months?  And we are still being informed that Russia has meddled in our elections, and will likely do so again – as if we just fell off the pumpkin wagon, or was it they who were so unfortunate?  gjr]

    Another one bites the dust
    Gary Cohn, who has served as President Donald Trump’s chief economic adviser since last year, will step down from his position, the New York Times reported Tuesday.
    That’s with Kushner losing his security clearance, Trump calling Sessions Mr McGoo, Hope Hicks saying bye bye after admitting to telling “white lies” to protect Trump, Rob Porter out in disgrace and McMaster barely hanging on.
    The good news is Todd might be offered a job. No one else wants to work there

    Cohn is the latest rat to leave the sinking ship. What do these men and women know that we don’t know? Are they trying to distance themselves from trump and protect their reputations? Is trump just a complete idiot and these people just can’t stand to be around him for very long? Is Mueller getting close to having trump by the gonads for criminal activity like money laundering for the Russian mob, not to mention the election collusion thing? As time goes on the stench of rotting fish worsens.

    I think he is a very inept liar. He lies about things that are patently untrue and easily fact checked. Like Todd he a serial cheater and apparently gets busted by his wife de jour every time. He lies about his lies. And then he lied about those lies.

    Moral victory?
    Judge Roger W. Titus, a Bush appointee to the bench in Maryland, said the judges in California and New York who blocked the phaseout attempted to substitute their own judgments for that of the Homeland Security Department, crossing constitutional lines in order to strike at Mr. Trump’s policies.
    Judge Titus went even further, praising the Trump administration for the way it handled the situation with a six-month phaseout.
    “This decision took control of a pell-mell situation and provided Congress — the branch of government charged with determining immigration policy — an opportunity to remedy it. Given the reasonable belief that DACA was unlawful, the decision to wind down DACA in an orderly manner was rational,” the judge wrote.
    Bottomline: “Judge Titus said he didn’t like the result of his own ruling, but he said judges need to butt out of politics and stick to the law.”

    There is that word “intersectionality” again. Louie Louie apparently is not fond of gay and lesbian people, nor does he appear to have much stomach for trannies.
    “And it wouldn’t be an argument with a left-wing activist if she didn’t cite the buzzword of the hour, explaining that she has “done intersectional work for 20+ years.”
    Ah, yes, intersectionality. Farrakhan has his own notions of that. In 2006, he declared that “it’s the wicked Jews, the false Jews that are promoting lesbianism, homosexuality.” He’s updated this theme slightly to account for transgenderism — “the Jews were responsible for all of this filth and degenerate behavior that Hollywood is putting out turning men into women and women into men.”
    Mallory isn’t the only Women’s March organizer with a soft spot for the lunatic minister. Carmen Perez is another admirer. “There are no perfect leaders,” she explains, although there is a lot of daylight between normal human imperfection and Farrakhan’s paranoid rantings. Yet another organizer, Linda Sarsour, took part in a Nation of Islam event in 2015.”

    The democrats of Texas got a reminder yesterday. They were telling the world through their mouthpieces, the mainstream media, they would have a “blue wave” and take the state. They got their asses handed to them. The Republicans turned out 500,000 more voters and made the democrats claim moot. And supposedly the democrats were motivated! So this may be a harbinger for November in Texas and the rest of the country. I think the majority will reject the democrats and their ultra-liberal agenda. Americans are center-right and all this PC crap the left is shoving down our throats will be history by December 2018.Go Trump

    I would not make too much of the Texas 7th just quite yet. It’s the Dem’s doing their normal state of mind: substained state of agitation and chaos. The constant state of aggrievement and turmoil. I once foolishly thought Trump was the source of all this unsettlement. Now I realize the err of my thinking. The Dems have nothing to offer except sustained contentious strife and fracas.
    The Dems are battling it out between the old guard and the Bernie wing. Nobody went anywhere. Glad to see that gal who the DCCC smeared is still in the race. Hey, wasn’t the DCCC hacked along with the DNC? I believe it was and Debbie wants her laptop back.
    I am rooting for the Gal that the DCCC smeared. She is left of left, which bodes well for R’s in November. Glad to see she made it to the next round. Tear ‘em up. Don’t let the Establishment tell you to drop out.

    “Until a few weeks ago, Laura Moser was a little-known name, one of seven candidates running for the Democratic primary in Texas’s Seventh Congressional District.
    That was, until the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee unleashed a scorched-earth campaign against the former freelance journalist and progressive activist, releasing an opposition memo highlighting past statements Moser made seemingly denigrating her home state.
    The move may have helped propel Moser across the finish line in the first round of the primary and into a May runoff election, along with Houston attorney Lizzie Pannill Fletcher, who was endorsed by the pro-female candidate Super PAC Emily’s List.

    Go ahead, take my tactical nuclear weapons out of my cold dead hands. I dare ya.
    Actually, when the 2nd Amendment was ratified by Congress in 1791, there was no such thing as a military style weapon. All firearms, all fire sticks, all guns were military type weapons. The Kentucky long rifle, or the Pennsylvania rifle were used in the French & Indian Wars, the American Indian War, and the Revolutionary War. Used for warfare and hunting. This is getting soooo boring.
    I reckon the Grappers will never learn. The 2nd Amendment was not written for defense. Nay, it was written so we can shoot back. When the Red Coats came to take our firesticks in 1775, we shot them.
