   Feast your eyes on these numbers. They seen to paint a picture that differs greatly from what the liberal MSM, Steve, the Letters to the Editor, local contributors to the Union, and an assortment of popinjays are trying to paint. . Yes, quite a different picture. Who is out of touch with America? Hmmm?
   – Eight out of 10 voters nationwide believe that illegal immigration is bad for America.
   -Despite all those troubling images[tear gassing the swarm charging the border.fence], a poll conducted by ScottRasmussen.com and HarrisX two days after the incident found that just 25 percent of voters believe Border Patrol’s actions are too harsh on illegal immigrants. A plurality (43 percent) believe that Border Patrol is too lenient.
   -The poll also found that Mexico’s offer of asylum should be enough for migrants who are truly trying to escape from persecution. Since they have already been provided with a safe haven, just 38 percent of voters think the migrants should still be eligible for asylum in the United States.

   Ok, if you don’t like Townhall, try this. Same thing.
   “Unfortunately, America’s political and media elites have made it clear that they simply will not support any form of border security. As long as that remains true, the prospects for immigration reform are nonexistent.” —-Scott Rasmussen.
   https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2018/11/29/elite_opinion_standing_in_the_way_of_comprehensive_immigration_reform_138777.html
   To put the icing on the hypocrisy cake, Senator Obama of Illinois, along with Senators Clinton and Schumer of New York voted for border security in 2006. Obama called for a Border Wall/Fence….without Trump’s flair, of course.
   Once the Dems get down to business in the Appropriations Commitees, count on not only no border security, but choking down funds to ICE and enforcement. Without monies and squeeze order security and illegal alien enforcement. They, along with the Paul Ryan types, simply do not want Enforcement. No stinkin’ Wall, no closing loopholes in the law.
   8 out of ten Americans want the Wall, the elites do not.

   “Is Trumps lying about the nature of his payoffs to keep his bonkettes silent permissible…”
   There’s the actual intent of the payoffs.
   There’s Trump’s version.
   There’s Paul’s attempt at mind-reading Trump.
   There’s the law.
   If some one wants to pay some one else to keep their trap shut about something that’s totally legal, then there is no crime.
   Cohen is up on charges concerning stuff he did on his own that has nothing to do with Trump and nothing to do with ‘Russian collusion’.

   The media, the narrative, the myth.
   Just the facts, ma’am. Opps. Forgot. They don’t need no stinkin’ facts either.
   “While the media has loudly called the notion that illegal immigrants receive government benefits a “myth,” the facts aren’t on their side.
   “The number keeps on growing as well. A previous study from the same group using census data from 2009, revealed that 57% of non-citizens reported being on welfare, and the newest study projects that number increasing to 70% in the coming decade.
   “Despite the Trump administration’s’ efforts to curb this problem, the media has unsurprisingly attacked him for it, writing sensational headlines like this one from The Washington Post: “Now the Trump Administration is Trying to Punish Legal Immigrants for Being Poor,” and this from The New York Times: “How Trump’s Plan for Immigrants on Welfare Could Hurt a Million New Yorkers.”
   “While the media had no problem obsessively protecting the caravan of illegal migrants with numerous falsehoods, they conveniently are silent when facts fly in the face of their liberal narrative”
   https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/kristine-marsh/2018/12/04/media-ignore-census-data-reveals-majority-non-citizens-are
   You know, it is illegal for green card holders, legal aliens, and illegal aliens to receive welfare bennies. But most of them do! And the longer they have been here, the higher the percentages of them being on the taxpayer’s dime grows. Not government funding, taxpayer funding.
   And I was told after these poor folks busted illegally into our country, they would suddenly morph into good upstanding taxpayers and contributors to our society.

    Here are the grizzly details about Individual 1’s (thats Donald Trump) involvement in authorizing and financing illegal campaign payments to benefit his campaign for President. Cohen was his chump. Here you go Read carefully if you want to know the truth.
    “On approximately June 16, 2015, Individual-1, for whom Cohen worked at the time, began
    an ultimately successful campaign for President of the United States. Cohen had no formal title
    with the campaign, but had a campaign email address, and, at various times advised the campaign,
    including on matters of interest to the press. Cohen also made media appearances as a surrogate
    and supporter of Individual-1. (PSR ¶ 39).
    During the campaign, Cohen played a central role in two similar schemes to purchase the
    rights to stories – each from women who claimed to have had an affair with Individual-1 – so as
    to suppress the stories and thereby prevent them from influencing the election. With respect to
    both payments, Cohen acted with the intent to influence the 2016 presidential election. Cohen
    coordinated his actions with one or more members of the campaign, including through meetings
    and phone calls, about the fact, nature, and timing of the payments. (PSR ¶ 51). In particular, and
    as Cohen himself has now admitted, with respect to both payments, he acted in coordination with
    and at the direction of Individual-1. (PSR ¶¶ 41, 45). As a result of Cohen’s actions, neither
    woman spoke to the press prior to the election. (PSR ¶ 51).
    Cohen Causes the Magazine to Pay Woman-1
    In approximately June 2016, a model and actress (“Woman-1”) began attempting to sell her story of her alleged extramarital affair with Individual-1. Woman-1 knew that the story would
    be of considerable value because of Individual-1’s candidacy for president. Woman-1 retained an
    attorney (“Attorney-1”) to represent her in this matter. (PSR ¶ 41).
    Attorney-1 then contacted the editor-in-chief (“Editor-1”) of a popular tabloid magazine
    (“Magazine-1”) and offered to sell the story to Magazine-1. The Chairman and Chief Executive
    Officer (“Chairman-1”) of the media company that owns Magazine-1 (“Corporation-1”) had a
    prior relationship with Individual-1 and Cohen. In August 2014, Chairman-1 had met with Cohen
    and Individual-1, and had offered to help deal with negative stories about Individual-1’s
    relationships with women by identifying such stories so that they could be purchased and “killed.”
    Consistent with that offer, after Editor-1 told Chairman-1 about Woman-1’s story, they contacted
    Cohen to tell him about the offer. (PSR ¶¶ 40-41).
    At Cohen’s urging and with his promise that Corporation-1 would be reimbursed, Editor1 began negotiating the purchase of Woman-1’s story. On August 5, 2016, Corporation-1 entered
    into an agreement with Woman-1 to acquire the “limited life rights” to the story of her relationship
    with “any then-married man,” in exchange for $150,000 and a commitment to feature her on two
    magazine covers and publish over one hundred magazine articles authored by her.
    The
    agreement’s principal purpose was to suppress Woman-1’s story so as to prevent the story from
    influencing the election. (PSR ¶¶ 41-42).
    Between August 2016 and September 2016, Cohen agreed with Chairman-1 to assign the
    rights to the non-disclosure portion of Corporation-1’s agreement with Woman-1 to Cohen for
    $125,000. Cohen then incorporated a shell entity called “Resolution Consultants LLC” to be used
    in the transaction. Both Chairman-1 and Cohen ultimately signed the agreement, and a consultant
    for Corporation-1, using his own shell entity, provided Cohen with an invoice for the payment of 125,000. That assignment was never completed, however. (PSR ¶¶ 43-44).
    Cohen Pays Woman-2
    On October 8, 2016, an agent for an adult film actress (“Woman-2”) informed Editor-1 that
    Woman-2 was willing to make public statements and confirm on the record her alleged past affair
    with Individual-1. Chairman-1 and Editor-1 contacted Cohen and put him in touch with Attorney1, who was also representing Woman-2. Over the course of the next few days, Cohen negotiated
    a $130,000 agreement with Attorney-1 to purchase Woman-2’s silence. Cohen received a signed
    confidential settlement agreement and a separate side letter from Attorney-1. (PSR ¶ 45).
    Cohen did not immediately execute the settlement agreement, nor did he pay Woman-2.
    On the evening of October 25, 2016, with no final deal in place with Woman-2, Attorney-1 told
    Editor-1 that Woman-2 was close to completing a deal with a media outlet, under which she would
    make her story public. Editor-1 texted Cohen that “[w]e have to coordinate something on the
    matter [Attorney-1 is] calling you about or it could look awfully bad for everyone.” Chairman-1
    and Editor-1 then called Cohen through an encrypted telephone application. Cohen agreed to make
    the payment and then called Attorney-1 to finalize the deal. (PSR ¶ 46).
    On October 26, 2016, Cohen emailed an incorporating service to obtain the corporate
    formation documents for another shell corporation, Essential Consultants, LLC, which he had
    incorporated a few days prior. That afternoon, he directed that $131,000 from his HELOC – the
    same HELOC he had obtained by means of false statements, see p. 8-10, supra – be deposited into
    an account he had just opened in the name of Essential Consultants LLC. The next day, Cohen
    wired $130,000 from that account to Attorney-1. On the wire form, Cohen falsely indicated that
    the purpose of the wire was to pay a “retainer.” On November 1, 2016, Cohen received copies of
    the final, signed confidential settlement agreement and side letter agreement from Attorney-1.”

    Todd @ whatever. Trump did nothing wrong, Cohen did.
    Just follow where Meuller sends the cases. If it has nothing the Russians or Russian Collusion with the Trump Campaign, it is farmed out to Justice in some District Court’s jurisdiction.
    Now, Cohen have may violated some laws and cheated on his taxes big time and lead Meuller to believe he had the smoking gun, well…that’s on him. Meuller got snookered and slapped Cohen with a half million fine precisely because Cohn did not have the goods on Trump and led him down the rabbit hole, lol. Pissed him off.
    Flynn never lied out abut his contacts with the Russian Ambassador to the FBI. Not in the least. Oh, Meuller turned him upside down and shook every last penny from the man and threw a gag order on Flynn…but the lying charge would never stick in a court of Law. You have Comey and others saying that Flynn did not intentionally lie, just confused in his recollection when askedmonnthe fly. To convict, you must prove that Flynn knowingly and purposely lied. That is hard to prove in a court of law. Confusing dates or misremembering details does not cut it. Flynn pent every penny he had and mortgaged his home to fight the case, but when Meuller threatened to prosecute Flynn’s son and ruin his son’s life forever, well Flynn said agree to say I lied. A very dark day for democracy. A dark time for justice and the rule of law in America, A very dark hour for all who believe in Truth, Justice, and American Values. That’s not who we are
    But, like George the Greek, none of this will ever be contested in court. They all just go along and no cross examination, no witnesses, no trial dates, no trial. That is the whole point!! Meuller is writing a report. He is not interested in winning criminal prosecution of the non crime of collusion. Nay.
    He is laying out a case of innuendo. In the back shadows stuff, nothing in the light to find, all hidden and no rebuttals. Connect those back shadow dots to….to….to…Russian Collusion! Tax cheats and liars and lions and tigers and bears, oh my.
    Love how Meuller says Flynn cooperated…and George the Greek and even Cohen, lol. That is a dog whistle to the connect the dots to the feeble minded unhinged conspiracy theorist Leftinista Media and their popinjays. Cooperate means agreeing to interviews, answering questions (unlike Comey today) or does it mean the Smoking Gun and Trump really DID have harlots pee on Obama’s bed in Moscow. Aha! They got Trump now!!
    “In 2013, Barrack Obama slept here” sez the sign on the door.
    And what is up with the Meuller team taking about an opinion piece in Apr. 2017 that Flynn wrote about relations with Turkey? Flynn was gone in disgrace way before that with the Popinjay shouting “Liar, liar, Flynn is a liar! As he exited stage lefty. Connect the dots. Flynn wrote an opinion piece about relations with Turkey!, months after the election was over. Talk about worthless information. Somehow that was related to Trump and Putin hatching a plot and stealing the election from My Gal during the road to the White House, lol. There it is folks. There is your smoking gun. 🙂

If you do, then almost all the halls of Congress would be emptied. It seems that you can’t see that Trump was embarrassed by his bimbo affairs and naturally wanted it kept out of the campaign. Every politician since David and before was bonking broads out of wedlock. And in the past the media has practiced some decorum on the US presidents obviously so engaged before and during their tenures. The lamestream and Dems removed that ‘courtesy’ from Trump, and he tried to handle it himself with a side contract of silence. What the hell is wrong with that?

Big empty factory that Tesla had rented half of it out to Panasonic or some Japanese manufacture to use the empty space up on one side.
    So, it looks like Tesla lost interest in making the old technology solar panels and NY got snookered again, lol. Snookered big time.

Another high end expensive product not meant for the common hard working middle class person. Looks good in style, design, and asthetics. But, the test proto type on a mock up roof glowed with an organ/amber hue with all these wires hanging outeverywhere. So, he showed off a single thin solar shingle that has never been hooked up and without wires or ever even worked to investors and those government officials doling out greenbacks, ROFLMAO. More government money needed and always accepted.
    So AOC is right. I ain’t against solar or wind where and when it makes sense. But, solar don’t work at night and wind is unreliable. To top it off, consider that the largest solar field in the US (in CA) generates enough juice to run the NY subway system. About 2,500 acres of panels (10 sq. Kilometers) and it does not produce juice on cloudy days or at night. So, how many hundreds of thousands of acres of panels or wind turbines do we need to juice the NY subway system AND NYC, Philly, DC, Chicago, and the whole friggin country??? Sure, geosolar holds the heat longer to release electricy a bit longer into the night, but imagine millions of electric cars coming home after work at 5:00 pm and all start plugging in their cars after dark. Wow, talk about a load on the system.
    Imagine if you will driving up 49, crossing over the South Fork bridge, and coming around a corner and the entire hillside is filled with thousands of acres of solar panels all the way to North San Juan. And recreate that imagine thousands of times as you drive across the good ole USA. At least the rich folk and the Kennedys stopped the wind farms out in the Chesapeake Bay. No way do they want to look out from their ocean views and see those ugly things that are not even dependable . NIMBY! Stick it in the desert along with the nuclear waste and flyover country.
    Yep, Musk is right. The money is in high end go carts that can go from zero to 200 mph in 4 seconds. No suited for carrying firewood or such things. The money is in status symbols. AOC is correct. What do we get out of it?.

    Illegal unreported campaign contributions is what Cohen is guilty of and plead guilty to. Nothing to do with sex. Trump lied to the American people ans is an unindicted co conspirator according to prosecutors.

    Hey BillT I think you confused me with someone else earlier regarding farm animals. And if Cortez was not so liberal I might date her. She is pretty cute. And her healthcare would cover me. LOL!
    TESLA money as far as I can tell has all been government and subsidies for a purchase. If the eco nuts were true to their beliefs they would walk not ride. Even a bicycle is made from mined products and they now even use the carbon fiber and solvents that destroy the ozone layer. These eco nuts think electric cars are good for the environment yet every part of them is mined, crafted and glued and the batteries are toxic waste for many years. And that electricity? Made form coal fired plants and those dam dams.

    So give us the link to your claimTrump is an indicted co-conspirator. I want to read that. Also Trump used his own money for hushing the babes and that is not a crime. You really are grasping at nothing.

    Well. According to the prosecutors…….. Glad that is settled. Prosecutors have the final and authoritative say. End of discussion.
    ——————————
    Quotes to mediate on from time and space in this moment in history.p:
    Insight: “To educate a man in mind, and not in morals, is to educate a menace to society.” —Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)
    For the record: “It has been obvious from the beginning of the Russia collusion witch hunt that this was an investigation in search of a crime rather than an investigation of a suspected crime.” —Roger Kimball
    Non Compos Mentis: “The virgin birth story is about an all-knowing, all-powerful deity impregnating a human teen. There is no definition of consent that would include that scenario. Happy Holidays.” —Dr. Eric Sprankle of Minnesota State University-Mankato
    Demo-gogues: “We are in a battle for the soul of this nation. We have to recognize that trend lines are moving in the wrong direction.” —Joe Biden (Under Obama and Biden, America lost a big chunk of its soul.)
    Alpha Jackass: “I had someone in northwestern Wisconsin tell me, ‘You know what, for most of the people I know, their principle sources of information are Fox News, their NRA newsletter, and the pulpit on Sunday.’ And it should come as a surprise to no one that our message doesn’t penetrate. It should come as a surprise to no one that that person has elevated the issue [of abortion], of course, to the top, because that person on the pulpit is saying, ‘Ignore everything else that this person has done and is doing. We have to focus on one issue of Roe vs. Wade.’ And people buy it because that’s their only source.” —DNC chairman Tom Perez
    Village Idiots: “The U.S. president has given [rogue] regimes a green light and labeled the press in this country the ‘enemy of the people.’” —Amal Clooney
    And last… “Comey and Mueller are extremely close, which obviously poses a conflict of interest for a real investigation. Mueller hired quite a few Democrat partisans. You may not like Trump, but these things are legitimate concerns. People should not be afraid to admit that.” —Mollie Hemingway

    PaulE, do you have even a remote concept of why half the country doesn’t give a rat’s ass about Trump’s peccadilloes? And in reality neither does the other half. They and you are just doing your damnedest to nail him, and cripple or curtail his presidency.
    Everyone who has had a bit of liberal education knows that our justice system is more broken than is our Fourth Estate. The purpose of today’s laws no longer are meant to deliver an even playing field in the land, but to enrich the pockets of politicians and lawyers. The people know that and are also in the game now, citing laws that support their narrative, and ignoring those that don’t.
    I think you’re not going to find an audience of naifs here for your sermon on the law.

    Another no brainer. The rules do not apply to the rule makers. DC Values.
    “Forfeiting generous employer subsidies might seem like an unreasonable request to make of the mayor and council. But earlier this year, the council passed, and Bowser signed, legislation requiring all District residents to buy health coverage or pay a tax — including tens of thousands of residents who do not qualify for subsidies.
    According to public records, Bowser receives an annual salary of $200,000; council members receive $140,600 annually. This year, I will receive less income than any of them, and as a small business owner my income is far from guaranteed, unlike public officials’ salaries. Yet the mayor and council have required me to buy health coverage without a subsidy, even as they refuse to do so themselves.”

    ,,,The-Very-Stable-Genius-in-Chief thouht it would be cool to start a trade war.
    So he thought he would play games with our farmer’s crops.
    China said ‘Whatever Fat Man’ and proceeded to work with Brazil for food.
    Brazil said cool and started hacking down the rainforest creating more farmland to compete with American farmland.
    Welcome to Trump Welfare Farmer Society where farmers get paid because Trump screwed them.

    M – Trump certainly didn’t ‘start’ a trade war. He was just the first POTUS in a while to stand up to the ChiComs and try to get them to play fair. They’ve been ripping off the rest of the industrial world for decades. If the Chinese govt limits imports, they’re ‘protecting their domestic industries’.
    If Trump does the same, he’s ‘starting a trade war’.
    I’m not real happy about all of what Trump has been doing concerning trade with China, but he didn’t start the trouble, he’s simply addressing it.
    I’m quite impressed as to how the Lamestream news media has been able to ignore and/or suppress all the crap China has been up to for the last 20 years.
