    Freudian slip: “You have to persuade enough of the opposition party voters, Trump voters … that you’re not just trying to steal the last — to reverse the results of the last election.” —Jerry Nadler on launching phase two of the Demo “Obstruct Trump” crusade
    Upright: “Next time someone labels your opposition to mass immigration ‘racist’ or ‘xenophobic,’ tell them you are equally opposed to New Yorkers immigrating to Florida and Californians immigrating to Arizona. And for the same reason: They bring with them the very values that caused them to flee. The only difference is Latin Americans are largely unaware of what they are doing; New Yorkers, Californians and other leftists who move to conservative states know exactly what they’re doing: voting for the government policies from which they fled.” —Dennis Prager
    Observations: “‘Force’ is not a mandate that children who enter public school get vaccinated. ‘Force’ is the exposure of the public, without their consent, to life-threatening diseases that modern medicine figured out how to eradicate half a century ago.” —Tiana Lowe
    For the record: “Running ethanol through your vehicles fuel system is a poor idea at any time. The fuel burns hotter while producing less energy by volume than gasoline. It also eats into the fuel lines and other components of older vehicles and small engines or marine motors. But during the summer, the exhaust from burning ethanol blends during hot weather has been shown to significantly contribute to smog problems in densely populated areas.” —Jazz Shaw on the EPA’s proposal to allow year-round sales of E15
    Non Compos Mentis: “It’s something. Something that’s sticky that’s stuck to my car and took two different solutions to get it off.” —South Carolina Mayor Darnell McPherson, who reported a “hate crime” because her car had been covered with a sticky yellow substance. Police determined it was pollen.
    The BIG Lie: “All I wanted was to get to the truth. All I wanted was to give the truth. … I pride myself on being fair.” —lesbian black ABC “Journalist” Robin Roberts regarding her “beautiful” interview with homosexual black hate-hoaxer Jussie Smollett
    Friendly fire: “Maybe I’m missing something, but the hazard of an omnibus document demand by House judiciary versus discreet, serial ones is that … the wide-ranging nature of it … too easily plays into the ‘witch-hunt’ meme.” —former Obama strategist David Axelrod
    And last… “‘(Crooked) Hillary Clinton confirms she will not run in 2020, rules out a third bid for White House.’ Aw-shucks, does that mean I won’t get to run against her again? She will be sorely missed!” —Donald Trump

    Well that was a massive self inflicted wound that looks to be festering –
    Democratic leaders in the U.S. House are struggling to figure out how to condemn anti-Semitism without also condemning Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., the anti-Semite in their midst whose repeated expressions of hatred against Jews and Israel have rightfully outraged millions of Americans.
    Omar’s toxic anti-Semitic eruptions are the only reason Democrats who control the House are planning to vote on a resolution denouncing anti-Semitism. Yet they can’t bring themselves to denounce her.
    Terrified of offending their radical anti-Israel wing, Democrats are also watering down the resolution against anti-Semitism by turning it into a generalized condemnation of bigotry.
    This is hardly a profile in courage. In fact, this cowardly move by Democrats is both absurd and insulting to Jewish Americans and the millions of non-Jews in our country who support Israel and oppose anti-Semitism.

    Is your gender related statement meant to allude to someone, perhaps the newly elected female democrats (most of whom don’t seem to go along to get along) who are being attacked by right wing noise makers? Gender has nothing to do with the fact that some people will do what they feel is right and others will toe the party line even when they disagree because they have no spine. That is what is wrong with today’s political climate. One can’t talk about sheeple without using the word republican in the same breath. What else could explain the countless lies, distortions, and attacks by trump that republicans just seem to ignore?
    However, the point is: the trumpers are getting desperate in trying force this wall down America’s throat (to appease his base) when they start throwing rocks at their own people in an attempt to bully them into submission ( a typical trump ploy). Desperate people do desperate things and after trump failed to get Cohen off the front pages with his phony and failed N. Korean summit (because it was an attempted PR stunt.)

    Cohen was all set to testify, the dates set, put on the calendar, press notified. The day President Donald J. Trump announced the dates of the Hanoi trip, the Dems sprung into action, yelled “Stop the presses!”, and immediately rescheduled Cohen’s testimony to be on the exact date Trump would be out of the country.

    WTF! Another unexpected benefit from the open boarders assholes –
    The Wall Street Journal reported:
    The University of Hawaii, the University of Washington and Massachusetts Institute of Technology are among at least 27 universities in the U.S., Canada and Southeast Asia that Beijing has targeted, according to iDefense, a cybersecurity intelligence unit of Accenture Security.
    iDefense said it identified targeted universities by observing that their networks were pinging servers located in China and controlled by a Chinese hacking group known to researchers interchangeably as Temp.Periscope, Leviathan or Mudcarp. Researchers at the U.S. cyber firm FireEye, who have studied the same group, said the iDefense findings were generally consistent with their own intelligence.

    The majority of the universities targeted either house research hubs focused on undersea technology or have faculty on staff with extensive experience in a relevant field, and nearly all have links to a Massachusetts oceanographic institute that also was likely compromised in the cyber campaign, iDefense said.
    But the OPT program allows Chinese navy officers and other foreigners to get underseas warfare jobs.
    The OPT work permits are managed by the Department of Homeland Security.
    The program was not established by Congress, but it was created by agency officials to provide U.S. technology companies with a cheap supply of college graduate workers. Employers of OPT workers do not have to pay Social Security or Medicare taxes, so it is cheaper for companies and universities to hire foreigners instead of young American graduates.
    The program allows foreign graduates with technology credentials to work in U.S. jobs for three years after graduating from a U.S. university. Graduates with non-technology credentials are allowed to work for one year. A paired program, dubbed the Curricular Practical Training program, provides a one-year work permit to foreigners before graduation.
    Roughly 400,000 foreign students had OPT work permits in 2017, so pushing hundreds of thousands of Americans out of promising jobs.
    Many foreign graduates use the OPT work permits as a springboard into the H-1B

    “Moose right now [have] to deal with tick-borne diseases that they didn’t have to do 10, 15 years ago. I really like moose. I assume, Canadians, you do too,” Obama said. “These are just facts.”
    Just facts. Really?”
    The expert said –
    Anyone who believes the nonsense that the frequency of insect-borne diseases has increased as a result of climate change really needs to read this damning assessment by Prof Paul Reiter.
    It dates back to 2005 but little has changed since. Reiter is an expert on vector-borne diseases – especially malaria – and former contributing author of the 1996 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for the chapter on the impact of global warming on human health.
    Reiter’s basic point is very simple: historically insect diseases have thrived in many places where it is not warm, including England which used to be rife with malaria. So it makes no sense to attribute them to global warming.
    Reiter was appalled to find that none of his fellow IPCC ‘contributing authors’ had any expertise in the field. As Christopher Booker describes in his book The Real Global Warming Disaster, one was an expert on the effectiveness of motor cycle helmets; two were full time environmental activists who had written articles on subjects from mercury poisoning to land mines.
    But it soon became clear to Reiter that regardless of the facts on vector-borne diseases, the IPCC was determined to finger climate change in a way that was ‘ill-informed, biased, and scientifically unacceptable.’

    Get this. Listened to an interview today with Giovanni Gambino about his ‘Cohen will get whacked in prison’ comment he made last week. He said Trump fingered Cohen as a rat and the guys in the Federal Countryclub hate rats. But, Gambino said Trump should PARDON Cohen. When asked why, Gambino said the Democrats would pin the blame on Trump when Cohen gets whacked
    When asked why he thought the Dems are so full of hate for Trump they would do such thing, Gambino answered and it made sense. He said Trump is a businessman and the Dems are politicians and Dem politicians can’t handle the idea that a businessman could fix things. Politicians fell they are the only ones should fix things. Spot on.
    Cohen is a rat. Maybe a pardoned rat. Use his a wife and kids as an excuse. That is Gambino’s advice. They will pin it on Trump. I say it’s a risk worth taking, lol.

    The DNC announced the decision today, citing a New Yorker report about the relationship between the president and the cable news network. Fox News responded in a statement asking them to reconsider.
    Trump is now suggesting he may respond in kind by not doing any general election debates “with the Fake News Networks.”
    “Democrats just blocked @FoxNews from holding a debate,” the president tweeted tonight. “Good, then I think I’ll do the same thing with the Fake News Networks and the Radical Left Democrats in the General Election debates!” “

    Oh Ya, keep it up for another year or two!
    The resolution is seen by some Democrats as an indirect and unnecessary slight at Omar and by other Democrats as a common-sense response to Omar’s recent comments about members pledging allegiance to a foreign country. It was expected to get a vote on Thursday, but aides now tell HuffPost nothing is set in stone yet. A potential change of heart could anger some Democrats and create yet another cycle of backlash, while a decision to ultimately move forward with the vote could also spark another round of outrage from Democrats who think leadership is being taken for a ride ― a torturous sequence of self-abuse that Democrats can’t seem to stop feeding into.
    Whichever way leaders go, they’re certain to upset someone, and they’ve guaranteed yet more coverage of a story they’d all like to just go away.

    We have been saying for awhile and frequently that the Dems has a big anti-Semitic problem on their hands. Been calling out warnings from the watchtowers.
    Anyone who can look objectively and analytically at the New Left Progressive Plan saw anti-Semiticism was/is a core principle of the New Progressive Plan. It’s baked in the cake. It was all there for the world to see when Jewish Women were driven from and. then barred from leadership positions in the Women’s March organization.
    Queen Nancy got blindsided. She thought it would be a “one and done” thang. Instead of the anti-Semitics being just a handful of the new guns in the Dem House, A small but growing minority. Nancy is getting a rude wake up call that the numbers may be pushing 50% of the members she rules over.
    Now that.the Blue Mob has had their covers pulled and are revealed as the Brown Mob, cleaning their side of the street is off the table.

    Speaking of antithetical to every single thing they view the world and themselves, Trump is antithetical to all of the above.

    Ri Yong Jin, a senior official in the education ministry — possibly minister — was arrested for dozing off during a meeting with Kim and charged with corruption before being killed, the paper said.
    Bummer. Wonder if they got to see how the show ended.
    “Kim has carried out a series of executions since taking power in 2011 after his father’s death as he puts his mark on the leadership of the isolated nuclear-armed nation. The most high profile was the killing three years ago of his uncle and one-time deputy Jang Song Thaek. He had about 50 officials executed in 2014 on charges ranging from graft to watching South Korean soap operas.”

    It occurred to me that the case of Turkey is the only reason I can think of to justify NATO.
    You certainly don’t want them being part of an open borders EU, I can’t say that even the French are that crazy at the end of the day.
    Obviously the EU could put together a combined armed service, assuming you could get the Germans military to lose weight and for that whole band of defense freeloaders to kick in some eurobucks. You never know when the Russkies will begin the war drums with their 100M people and GDP of 1/3 of France.
    It’s just that the Turks control a particularly important sea lane plus they are a sort of land stopper to the vibrant diversity that might swarm into Europe, so it’s best to have good (military and otherwise) relations with them.
    As for the Blue Mob love affair with Islam, I’d say that it’s just a marriage of convenience. A shared dislike for Western culture doesn’t sound like a long term coalition, but it’s good enough for now. When the Israelis get pushed into the sea, they can renegotiate their alignment.

Cut the anchor and become adrift.

    It is refreshing to have an open and honest anti-Semitic in the house. So many closet members populate our government. This is a free country and I hope Ilhan Omar continues to express the thoughts and opinions of the people she represents.
    As an atheist I don’t give a rat’s butt about “religious principles” as preached by conservative Christians. They have proven that their principles are nothing but hollow words anyway. I do care that minority opinions aren’t stomped because they go against the mainstream. And yes, she is an albatross around the dems neck.

    It is!
    And an endless source of amusement as the Jewish power block within the democratic party is challenged from below by the up and coming Muslim faction. Going to be fun seeing who prevails!
