    Don.. Now why would ANY team want a PC handgrenade in their midst?
    The NFL is still suffering from his antics and cancer.
    Not a full house yet. The fans are fed up with the NFL being pansies and allowing that crap.

    WINNING BIGLY! –
    The Chinese government said it will take a harsher stance on intellectual property theft on Sunday in a move that should please the U.S. as the two countries attempt to lock down the first phase of a possible trade deal.
    The Chinese said their new guidelines would focus on “strengthening the punishment of infringement and counterfeiting” and ensuring “effective protection of trade secrets, confidential business information and source code.”

    Virtue signaling from a shithole city –
    “I know that pennies add up,” she said on Baltimore’s WJZ-TV Channel 13. “I know that dollars add up, and my vote will be a consistent ‘no’ when it comes to unnecessary taxes on my constituents.”
    The problem is, bag bans are not just annoying and inconvenient, they also add up to little more than virtue-signaling of being “environmentally conscious.”
    There’s even evidence that they end up being worse for the environment.
    A study by University of Sydney economist Rebecca Taylor in Australia found that banning plastic bags certainly caused customers to use fewer plastic shopping bags.
    However, people began to use other kinds of plastic bags to make up for the lost supply.
    Many customers actually reuse plastic bags for lining wastebaskets, among many other secondary uses. The study found that in areas that had plastic bag bans, there was a surge in the use of the thicker 4-gallon bags, which use more plastic.

    The only Dem that can beat Donald J. Trump is Tulsi. Oh, she is plenty enough Progressive for the Left, wants to keep us out of foreign wars and messy entanglements that do not serve our national interests, is female, a POS, Young, bright, tough, pretty, and a military background. Heck, she is currently enlisted. That would really get the Blue Collar Dems excited and pull Reagan Democrats back into the fold. Could be a uniter. But her biggest flaw is she loves America. That is why they hate her so.
    “The Democrats say they want a woman to be president, but they don’t mean it. When they have a woman on the debate stage who shares their views but not their hateful attitudes toward America and non-leftist Americans, they treat her like a skunk at a garden party. For which, as a Republican, I am grateful.”

    ——————————————-
    OMG, Tulsi wore white! You know what that means, don’t you?? Bad juju!
    “New York Times Fashionista: Tulsi Gabbard Wearing White Says Fringy, ‘Cult Leader’”
    “….During the 2016 convention, Friedman thought Hillary’s white was right. “In her white suit, with her white crew neck underneath, Mrs. Clinton looked supremely unflappable: perfectly tailored and in control,” she gushed. “Not a hair out of place (but some hair nicely waved). The kind of person who could carry the nuclear codes with aplomb.”
    “But now that Clinton critic Tulsi Gabbard is wearing white suits to presidential debates, it’s a yawner. Gabbard “has, by all indications, made it her uniform. And yet no one really seems to care.” But obviously, Vanessa Friedman is ticked that Gabbard has called Hillary “queen of the warmongers.”
    “Ms. Gabbard herself doesn’t seem particularly interested in connecting with the suffragists, but rather is using her white suits to tap into another tradition, latent in the public memory: the mythical white knight, riding in to save us all from yet another “regime change war.”
    Her white suits are not the white suits of Ms. Clinton, nor even the white of Ms. [Marianne] Williamson, whose early appearances in the shade often seemed tied to her wellness gospel and ideas of renewal and rebirth. Rather, they are the white of avenging angels and flaming swords, of somewhat combative righteousness (also cult leaders). And that kind of association, though it can be weirdly compelling, is also not really community building. It sets someone apart, rather than joining others together. It has connotations of the fringe, rather than the center.“

    Hmmm. Didn’t AOC and the Squad and ALL the female Congresswomen Leftinistas wear white at State of the Union after the November 2018 elections? Including Nancy? Including Tulsi, roflmao.

    Eddie keeps his trident pin –
    Defense Secretary Mark Esper fired Navy Secretary Richard Spencer Sunday over his handling of the case of a Navy SEAL who posed for a photo next to an Islamic State terrorist’s corpse in Iraq, and the SEAL will be able to keep his Trident pin, a Pentagon spokesman said Sunday.
    Esper ordered that Gallagher be allowed to keep his Trident pin, noting that it would be nearly impossible for him to get a fair hearing from the military in light of recent events, a senior official said.

    Hong Kong just gave a big middle finger to emperor Xi –
    Hong Kong’s election watchdog said about 71 percent of the 4.13 million citizens registered to vote had cast their ballots, far higher than the 47 percent who voted in the previous go-round in 2015, which was a record at the time.
    Results from 241 races tabulated early Monday by the South China Morning Post showed 201 pro-democracy candidates winning their races as opposed to just 28 pro-Beijing establishment candidates and 12 independents.

    “Yes, I know this sounds complex and convoluted. Part of the media campaign this week is to absolutely confound the American public as to what happened the past three years. Obfuscation has also been, in part, the mission of Mr. Schiff in his impeachment hearings. And they may all believe that it is working because the numbers show that the public is losing interest in a story being made to appear incomprehensible at best, while it is utterly false at bottom (and at worst). In the process the American news media is committing suicide along with the Democratic Party.
    The CIA, the FBI, the State Department have all been players in the coup to overthrow Mr. Trump and the news media played along the whole way. They doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down on their dishonest narrative and now they are trapped in it. They are desperate to evade responsibility for all this. Many people think they will succeed. Many people want to believe the story that Russia hacked the 2016 election to help Mr. Trump defeat Hillary. The story is not true. The perps are finally being found out. They are willing to bring the country down rather than face the consequences.”

    “President Trump has repeatedly dishonored the military. He sent troops to the southern border before the 2018 midterms in a xenophobic stunt designed to win votes. He seized funds for military construction to build his useless wall, which will never be built. He humiliated our forces by announcing an impulsive retreat from Syria, betraying our allies and allowing Russians to seize and occupy our former facilities. Then came the case of Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher.”

    More bad news for team lefty in joysey! –
    I watched regulation send out entire industries to other countries,” one New Jersey voter said.
    Many voters said that Trump, and the Republican Party by extension, are fighting to put America first by emphasizing pro-borders, pro-American jobs, and “take care of us,” while the Democrats are helping non-citizens.
    The focus group members also found that the impeachment inquiry was “dominating” the Democrat agenda.
    New Jersey’s Second and Third Congressional Districts represent two districts that Trump won during the 2016 presidential election and Democrats flipped during the 2018 midterm elections. Republicans hope to flip 19 congressional districts during the 2020 congressional elections so that they can retake the House majority.
    The House Majority Forward report found that many New Jersey voters have Trump’s backing.
    “Trump has some standing with many of these voters,” the report contended.
    As Democrats move forward with their impeachment inquiry against Trump, many New Jersey voters found that the impeachment inquiry was politically charged.
    The Democrat memo found that several focus group members dismissed the impeachment inquiry as “politics” and few called the president’s call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a “crime.”
    “The inherent sense of corruption of all politicians allowed space for many to believe that what Trump did was commonplace, and ultimately several were ready to let Trump off the proverbial hook by characterizing the charges as ‘politics’ without digging deeper to determine if the charges are impeachable or not,” the report found.
    The focus group could suggest that New Jersey voters’ backing of Trump and his policies could endanger Van Drew and Kim.
    Van Drew and Kim are rated as two of the most endangered New Jersey incumbents by the Cook Political Report as well as Inside Elections.
    Conservative operatives said that this report means that both Democrats could likely lose their next election.
    The memo found that “most of the respondents– across all of the groups– said they side with Trump on immigration.”
    “Almost to a person, immigration was described as a matter of bringing “control” to our borders and immigration system,” the memo added.

    The day after Justin Trudeau won re-election, Larry Kitz – a farmer in the western province of Alberta – went online and donated money to a political party with one central goal: separating from Canada. As Kitz tells it, secession was the only cause that matched his growing frustration with the country’s federal government.
    “It’s like a bad relationship with someone that’s just draining you all the time,” he said. “On one hand they’ll take the money from you and the other hand they want to knock down [our energy industry]. Eventually you’re gonna have to just call it quits.”
    Years of recession and a tepid energy market have helped fuel a growing separatist movement in Alberta, where a fossil fuel industry which once powered a boom is now dragging the economy into bust.
    The region – often dubbed the “Texas of Canada” – has some of the world’s largest oil reserves, but a lack of pipelines has made it exceedingly difficult to move the oil to market.”

    “To answer the question, we have first to assess language. How did we get here? The only way it could be possible to think that gay men are transphobic for not wanting to be romantically involved with people who have female reproductive organs is if homosexuality means same gender-attracted and not same-sex attracted. It would also have to have been finally determined that gender and sex are separate entities.”

    Daily Quotes. No wonder Pocahontas is dropping in the polls.
    Insight: “I’ve always believed that a lot of the trouble in the world would disappear if we were talking to each other instead of about each other.” —Ronald Reagan
    Re: The Left: “The Democrats say they want a woman to be president, but they don’t mean it. When they have a woman [in Tulsi Gabbard] on the debate stage who shares their views but not their hateful attitudes toward America and non-leftist Americans, they treat her like a skunk at a garden party.” —John Hinderaker
    Observations: “What the [impeachment] charge is keeps changing, of course. The whistleblower initially suggested a campaign finance violation arising from a call Trump had with the president of Ukraine. That morphed into a quid pro quo for military aid to Ukraine, then extortion, then bribery, then obstruction of justice, then back to a quid pro quo, but this time only a quid pro quo for a White House meeting. The lack of certainty among even Trump’s critics certainly worked in his favor.” —Mollie Hemingway
    Non compos mentis I: “These hearings … are going to be much more like the O.J. trial, the great trial at the end of the 20th century, where people took sides very quickly. It wasn’t so much about the facts; it’s about your perspective, your history as a human being in this country.” —MSNBC’s Chris Matthews
    Non compos mentis II: “I’m having a quick flashback to the O.J. trial, frankly, where the facts were damning, but it didn’t matter. And yet, he was innocent, but everybody knew he was guilty. Are we about to head into a situation like that where he’s going to get acquitted and yet everybody knew he’s guilty?” —MSNBC’s Chuck Todd
    Alpha jackass: “Trump’s taken a lot of people down. He’s a piece of s—t who never should have been there in the first place. It’s a joke. You look at this fool and you say, what’s happening?” —actor Robert De Niro
    Race bait: “Let’s be clear: It’s time for our government to have a full-blown national conversation about reparations. We must be honest about our history, and do what’s right so that our nation can begin to heal.” —Sen. Elizabeth Warren
    And last… “The problem with out political system is you can only punish one party per election when what we need is a way to constantly punish both parties.” —Frank J. Fleming

    Looks like another one of Trumps “personal lawyers” may be in big trouble. Michael Cohen may have to make room for another cellmate.

    The subpoenas also seek information on a company co-founded by Lev Parnas, a recently-arrested associate of Giuliani’s, that paid Giuliani for legal and business advice, the Journal reported on Monday.
    The subpoenas, as described by the newspaper, listed numerous potential charges under consideration including obstruction of justice, conspiracy to defraud the United States, making false statements to the federal government and money laundering.
    They also seek materials relating to pro-Trump groups America First Action and America First Policies. Kelly Sadler, a spokeswoman for the groups, said they have reached out to the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office and offered their cooperation, and said neither was issued a subpoena.”

    Actually, this is quite a blow to the Left. I have been following the black support for Trump closely for the past 3 years. Whenever it hits 19%, 24%, the Leftinistas totally freak out and go on a two to three week beige that ‘Trump is a Racist!!’ Sure as day follows night, that has been the pattern. The Trump is a racist narrative drowns out everything. But now, either folks have tuned out to what Mad Max and the Enemy of the People are serving up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or…..or…they have been drowning out everything with ‘Impeach the Mo Fro!!!’
    Yep, when they pull their collective heads out, they will realize whatz really going down. They been asleep at the wheel with their collective Racist in the White House mantra and now that train is running behind. So many fires to rekindle, so little time. Wonder what the October Surprise will be? They are already circling back to familiar territory —Russia, Russia, Russia!
    Hmm. Their last October Surprise did not work. They held onto the Access Hollywood Tapes for months and dumped it in October a day or two right before the 2nd (or third?) debate. Got him now! He’s toast.
    Hmmm. Di-Wi held onto the Blassie Ford e-mail for months and dumped it at the 11 hour when the Senate Judiciary Committee was getting ready to vote. That did not work either. Trump is a racist always worked before…..temporarily.
    How can the black support reach so high? Heck, they were shocked, shocked I say, when the Latino vote in 2016 hit 30%. They must have had the wrong messaging or something.
    So when Florida turned red, I was stunned — especially after I saw the demographic breakdowns. Nearly one in three Latino voters in Florida cast their ballots for Trump. According to a CNN and Latino Decisions exit poll, his support among Cuban-American voters was even higher: 54 percent. “Definitely there was a hidden, secret Latino vote,” Jorge Ramos, the Univision news anchor, told me. “We’re seeing a new divide within the Hispanic community. The wall that Trump was talking about is clearly apparent now within the Hispanic community.”
