An Almost Unrecognizable Country – A KJ Sunday Morning Op Ed

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! – Isaiah 5:20

Consider, if you will, a country in which its president is being sued for keeping his promise to protect his country’s citizens.

…a country where a black actor hires 2 extras from his television show to dress up like supporters of a sitting president, put a noose around his neck and rough him up, simply because the president happens to be from the opposite political party as the actor, and the actor is still upset over his candidate having been defeated in the last election.

…a country in which the Speaker of the House of Representatives proclaims that her political party is “doing the Lord’s Work”, while supporting killing babies after they are born.

“You are traveling through a previously unknown country, a country whose population has politically been torn asunder, a country whose Democratic Leadership have forsworn its traditional faith and values to embrace those of its enemies. A country whose great promise is once again being realized, despite the best efforts of its enemies within. There’s a signpost up ahead. Next stop, America 2019.”

This country has been pulling apart at the seams since the night of November 8, 2016, which Donald J. Trump was elected as our 45th President.

And the thing is, it is not his fault.

The direction which the Modern Democratic Party has taken to the Far Left of the Political Spectrum has put them at odds with the majority of Americans who still hold dear the Traditional Faith and Values System upon which our Sovereign Nation was founded.

In an article written for Decision Magazine dated February 12, 2012, America’s Pastor, Rev. Billy Graham, wrote on the subject of “Confusing Evil With Good”.  Here are some excerpts…

Humanity has always been dexterous at confusing evil with good. That was Adam and Eve’s problem, and it is our problem today. If evil were not made to appear good, there would be no such thing as temptation. It is in their close similarity that the danger lies.

Modern social righteousness often differs from the righteousness of the Bible. Someone has said: “A wrong deed is right if the majority of people declare it not to be wrong.” By this principle we can see our standards shifting from year to year according to the popular vote! Divorce was once frowned upon by society, and laws against fornication and adultery were strictly enforced. But now divorce is accepted by society, and fornication is glorified in our literature and films.

The Bible says: “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil.” God has not changed. His standards have not been lowered. God still calls immorality a sin, and the Bible says God is going to judge it.

Honesty was once the hallmark of character. But it has been set aside with an “It’s all right if you don’t get caught” philosophy. Only when we are in court are we required to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

…How do we get our values so mixed up? How do we fall into this trap of Satan? For one thing, we’re shortsighted. We look for shortcuts to happiness. Our lust for immediate pleasure prompts us to think of evil as good.

In one of novelist John Steinbeck’s books he has a character saying: “If it succeeds, they will be thought not crooked but clever.” In our desire to achieve success quickly, it is easy to get our values mixed up and call evil good and good evil.

Another way to call evil good is to say that morals are relative. Someone has said: “As the occasion, so the behavior.” We have changed our moral code to fit our behavior instead of changing our behavior to harmonize with our moral code. Nothing is firm today. We are not on solid ground. Young people are shifting from one side to the other. Morally, they are drifting aimlessly without compass or guide.

Still another way that evil is called good is for the conscience to be perverted, and certainly our consciences today are perverted. But right is right even if nobody is right, and wrong is wrong even if everybody is wrong. God does not change the moral law to suit our behavior.

…The modern conscience has been twisted and distorted so badly that it is difficult to tell what is genuine and what is false.

Self-centeredness is another reason we are so inclined to call evil good. When something brings profit or pleasure to us we are inclined to call evil good, even though we know it is dead wrong. “But it’s what I’ve always wanted,” or, “It’s good for me, although I know it’s wrong” are the alibis we have manufactured to justify evil and call it good.

It is very apparent that there is something that is literally tearing apart the fabric of our country.

The only conclusion that I, as a Christian American can reach, is the fact that our Sovereign Nation is in the midst of SPIRITUAL WARFARE for its very soul.

Make no mistake about it, boys and girls, EVIL EXISTS.

My friends, I believe that we are fighting a war against “princes and principalities”. Evil is still alive and well and flourishing in a world in which relative morality and situational ethics are increasingly being accepted as normal behavior.

We see it everyday around us.

It inundates the cable news channels, 24 hours a day. Heck, you can even see it on Facebook.

Since Cain slew Able with a rock, mankind, because we are all fallen creatures, has had to deal with the presence of evil in our lives.

From the legendary massacres, perpetrated by Vlad the Impaler, to the horrific scenes of Hitler’s Concentration Camps, to the killing fields of Pol Pot, to the massacre of innocent Middle Eastern Christians by Islamic State, to the murders by Chicago Street Gangs every night, the Forces of Evil continue to flourish across the globe.

Who we as a nation are struggling with are those forces who want to turn our country into not just an immoral society, but, an amoral one, whose concept of right and wrong is “Whatever Gets You Through the Night (It’s Alright. It’s Alright.)”, and whose ultimate authority is not the God of Abraham, but a Godless All-Powerful Central Government, whose credo is

From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs. (Karl Marx)

Just as Marxism has failed wherever it has been tried before, so, if allowed to do so, it would lead to America’s downfall.

The galling thing is the fact that, even though American Christians remain 75% of the population, we are propagandized and suppressed by the Liberals in both the Old and New Media, to make it seem as if WE are the Minority, when, in fact, WE are the overwhelming Majority.

It is this New Generation of Amoral Socialists, who have taken over the Democratic Party, who are in fact, just a tiny, albeit vocal, Minority of America’s population.

So, what can an average Christian American, like you and me, do about this “Tyranny of the Minority”?

Christians have to make a choice in these tough times whether to allow those who are attempting to “radically change” our Sovereign Nation, given to us by God into a Democratic Socialist Paradise or…

As the Apostle Paul tells us in Ephesians, we can STAND.

However, you cannot stand without “the full armor of God”. I have found, as have my family and friends, that the better that you are doing, in terms of your Christian Walk, the harder that you will be attacked.

10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.…- Ephesians 6:10-12

Our Christianity as Americans does not and can not end at Noon on Sunday, as we shake the Preacher’s hand and walk out of the sanctuary.

“Onward, Christian Soldiers, marching as to war.”

Because believe me, Americans…we are in one.

Pray for our President.

Pray for our country.

Until He Comes,

AOC Gives Boyfriend Congressional Email Account…Friends With Benefits?

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

If brains were dynamite, this woman couldn’t blow her nose.

FoxNews.com reports that

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is facing ethics questions after revelations the freshman lawmaker’s office gave her boyfriend a congressional email account.

The democratic socialist waded into the issue in response to a tweet alleging boyfriend Riley Roberts had been put on staff. The tweet included a screenshot of an official House email address. Ocasio-Cortez insisted that he was only given the email account so he could access her calendar.

“Actually this calendar designation is a permission so he can have access to my Google Calendar. Congressional spouses get Gcal access all the time,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote, after political consultant Luke Thompson tweeted the picture showing Roberts having an official account like other staffers on the Hill. “Next time check your facts before you tweet nonsense.”

Asked about the arrangement, David O’Boyle, the spokesperson for the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer, told Fox News: “From time to time, at the request of members, spouses and partners are provided House email accounts for the purposes of viewing the member’s calendar.”

But Jason Chaffetz, former chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said Ocasio-Cortez’ claims don’t stack up.

“It’s totally naïve and inappropriate – you wouldn’t allow it in most companies, let alone the House of Representatives. There should be real consequences,” Chaffetz told Fox News.

“When I was in the House, my scheduler would forward my wife my schedule once a week. But you’re not allowed unfettered access. And he isn’t even her spouse,” he added. “… It should be referred to the ethics committee for further investigation.”

Meanwhile, Thompson’s tweet touched off a Twitter battle with the congresswoman’s staff.

Saikat Chakrabarti, the congresswoman’s chief of staff, insisted that the boyfriend isn’t on the payroll and that he’s not doing any work related to the government.

“He’s not paid. We have no volunteers in the office. He’s not doing any government work. He can see her calendar just like spouses/partners/family members in other congressional office,” he wrote, adding in another tweet, “Spouses and partners normally get http://mail.house.gov e-mail addresses for the purpose of getting calendar access.”

House IT rules generally prohibit the use of “the House’s electronic mail systems and resources” by unauthorized members, and only “U.S. House of Representative Members, Officers, Employees, Fellows, Interns and Contractors” with appropriate permission can use the system. Still, O’Boyle cited the practice of sometimes allowing spouses access.

Chaffetz said that Roberts having email access could also create other security issues and the matter should be referred to the Capitol Police for further investigation.

“Being given a password to get into the House computer system has other potentially problematic issues,” he said.

All of the cotton-pickin’ Democrats in Congress are more crooked than a dog’s hind leg, aren’t they?

They obviously feel that the rules do not apply to them.

And, why should they?

From LBJ to Bubba Clinton to Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm), they have quite literally gotten away with murder…

or, at least a stained blue dress.

And now, here comes this new generation of baboons, (if you did not know, a group of baboons is called a CONGRESS. Fitting, eh?) extolling the virtues of Marxism, all wrapped up in a camouflage tarp courtesy of their new name “Democratic Socialists”.

Mulch or manure, it all smells the sane.

AOC, as this “cool new chick” is called is some piece of work.

Concerned citizens on Facebook and Twitter warn us not to underestimate her.

Personally, I wonder how she remembers to breathe.

Fresh off her “victory” in the matter of Amazon pulling out of building a new headquarters in New York, she is once again in the public eye. And, once again, she is coming across as a petulant, clueless, entitled Communist brat.

She reminds me of the time on South Park when Eric Cartman dressed up like a bratty teenage girl in order to make some money by appearing on the Jerry Springer Show. The theme of the show was teenage girls who talk back to their Moms. Cartman’s catch phrase was

I do what I want!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is riding atop the cusp of her newfound fame like Rosie O’Donnell at an all-you-can-eat buffet line.

It is way past time for San Fran Nan and the rest of the leadership of the Democratic Party to stand up to this brat.

Giving congressional e-mail access to her boyfriend is way out of line. He is not a public servant.

He may be AOC’s servant, but, quite frankly, I really do not want to know, nor do I need that image.

Come to think of it, though, the old Soviet Politboro did whatever they wanted to do, also.

Perhaps it is just a natural part of being a Marxist Politician.

I mean, before the Democratic Socialists the Democrats were as pure as the driven snow…after a bobsled race.

Why…next thing you’ll tell me is that Hillary Clinton’s assistant and BFF Huma Abedin, you know, the one with family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, had access to her congressional e-mails.

Oh, wait…

Sedition: McCabe, The Deep State, and The Silent Coup

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

untitled (237)

In the midst of all the players knowing they found nothing, they’ve got nothing, there was nothing to find — that they have been running a hoax, that they’ve been running a silent coup –the damage that they have done to this country in the past two years is immeasurable, and there needs to be a brand-new special counsel impaneled to investigate everybody from Mueller and everybody on his team, to McCabe, to Comey, to Strzok, to Bruce Ohr, to every one of these people all the way up to Fusion GPS, the Perkins Coie law firm, Hillary Clinton, the Democrat National Committee, all the way up to Brennan and Clapper and maybe even Obama, because that’s the root of this. – Rush Limbaugh, 2/14/19

FoxNews.com reports that

The top Republicans on the House and Senate Judiciary Committees are calling for former FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to testify before their respective panels, following McCabe’s explosive claims in an interview this week that senior Justice Department officials had considered removing President Trump using the 25th Amendment.

According to McCabe, Rosenstein offered to wear a wire to record the president, seemingly confirming reports last year. Rosenstein on Thursday again strongly denied that allegation, calling McCabe’s statements “factually incorrect.”

House Judiciary Committee ranking member Doug Collins, R-Ga., said in a letter to the committee’s chairman, Democratic New York Rep. Jerry Nadler, that the two top officials should be asked to testify — and subpoenaed if they refuse to comply.

“Today, news broke confirming Americans’ worst fears about the highest-ranking leaders in the Department of Justice and the FBI,” Collins wrote. “In fact, we now know certain government officials plotted to investigate and undermine” the president.

Collins continued: “We request you immediately schedule a hearing to take the testimony of former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.”

Collins also offered what he called a “non-partisan frame of reference,” urging his colleagues to “imagine if the situation were reversed and evidence showed DOJ and FBI contemplating the same actions against newly elected President Obama, including possible surveillance of President Obama and invoking the 25th Amendment against him.”

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., echoed Collins’ sentiments on Thursday.

“Yeah, I would like to know what happened,” Graham told The Hill. “You’re having a conversation about whether or not you’re going to invoke the 25th Amendment. I imagine if the shoe were on the other foot, my Democratic colleagues would want to know about that conversation if it involved a Democrat.”

The 25th Amendment governs the succession protocol if the president dies, resigns or becomes temporarily or permanently incapacitated. While the amendment has been invoked six times since its ratification in 1967, the specific section of the amendment purportedly discussed by top DOJ officials — which involves the majority of all Cabinet officers and the vice president agreeing that the president is “unable” to perform his job — has never been invoked.

Nevertheless, McCabe told CBS’ News’ Scott Pelley during an interview that senior law enforcement officials discussed that option.

On Thursday, Pelley said McCabe described meetings at the Justice Department after former FBI Director Jim Comey’s firing, to discuss “whether the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet could be brought together to remove the president under the 25th Amendment.”

McCabe was fired last year for committing three violations of the bureau’s ethics code, investigative sources told Fox News. The violations initially were uncovered by the Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General and confirmed by the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility. They included lack of candor under oath, lack of candor when not under oath, and the improper disclosure of nonpublic information to the media about the FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation.

McCabe has denied the allegations and called his firing politically motivated.

Of course, the covert Deep State Operation to keep Donald J. Trump from becoming president and then to remove him after he was fairly and justly elected by the American people began under the auspices of the Administration of Former President Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm).

Regarding the phony FISA Dossier, according to Heavy.com,

In an exclusive report, The Washington Post reported that the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee allegedly “helped fund research that resulted in a now-famous dossier” that lobbed salacious allegations about President Donald Trump, Russia, and even so-called “golden showers” into the public debate. The firm behind the dossier, Fusion GPS, had steadfastly refused to release details of its funding sources.

Citing anonymous people familiar with the situation, The Post exclusive reported that “Marc E. Elias, a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC, retained Fusion GPS, a Washington firm, to conduct the research. After that, Fusion GPS hired dossier author Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer with ties to the FBI and the U.S. intelligence community, according to the people. Elias and his law firm, Perkins Coie, retained the firm in April 2016 on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC.”

This whole Democrat-supported “Lawfare” against Trump, resembles a spider’s web in its malevolent intricacy with its “alarm thread” leading directly back to the Obama and Hillary.

The incestuous nature of this covert operation resembles something out of a Tom Clancy Novel, only twice as large a conspiracy and three times as unbelievably dangerous.

This has been a well-planned “silent coup” designed to keep the Democratic Party in control of the Presidency and to further their goal of turning the United States of America into a Democratic Socialist Country, where the Politboro (Central Government) would prosper and us average Americans would spend our lives working for the glory of the State.

The election of a “Citizen Statesman” in the form of Donald J. Trump to the office of the Presidency ruined their plans.

That is why they are still attempting to overturn the results of a fair election.

Merriam-Webster.com defines “sedition” as

: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority

That being said, the intentional interference in the passage of Presidential Authority from one political party to another as the result of a fairly held election as prescribed by our Constitution can not be considered to be anything less. According to Federal Law, the punishment for Seditious Conspiracy is detailed as follows..

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

The Trump Administration and its specified duties regarding the operation of the Government of the United States of America and the oversight of the safety and welfare of its citizens are under attack by both members of a Former Presidential Administration and by members of our own Department of Justice.

I believe that it is time that the laws against interference with our fairly elected government be enforced against those who would sabotage their own country for the sake of their own egos, to assuage their hurt and anger from a lost Presidential Election, and to preserve a legacy of failure which average Americans did not wish to continue.

I also believe that simply calling McCade, Comey, et al, back in front of Congressional Committees will not accomplish anything.

I agree with Rush Limbaugh.

I believe that newly sworn in Attorney General Barr needs to convene a special Grand Jury to investigate and indict all of those former and present “public servants” who have engaged in this Seditious Conspiracy to subjugate the will of the American people and to overthrow our nation’s government from within.

Our Sovereign Nation must remain a Constitutional Republic in order to preserve our liberty.

House Judiciary Chair Nadler Hires 2 Anti-Trump Consultants From a Soros-Funded 501(c) to Investigate Trump

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

PFLAG National Memorial For Founder Jeanne Manford

“Oh! What A Tangled Web We Weave When First We Practice To Deceive”. – Sir Walter Scott

FoxNews.com reports that

The top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee is demanding to know why the panel’s Democratic leadership made the “costly” and “unusual” decision this week to hire two prominent anti-Trump consultants to conduct a purportedly impartial investigation of the White House.

In a letter to House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., the ranking member on the committee, GOP Rep. Doug Collins, asked how much taxpayers could expect to be charged for Barry Berke and Norman Eisen’s services — as well as what exactly the pair of vocally anti-Trump operatives will be doing.

“Your unilateral decision to hire two individuals with such obvious bias against the president will taint anything they touch going forward,” Collins wrote to Nadler. “Does the hiring of Mr. Berke and Mr. Eisen indicate a lack of confidence in your current staff to handle important matters regarding the president?”

In a recent report published by the Brookings Institution, Collins noted in the letter, Berke and Eisen wrote that publicly available evidence “strongly supports that the president obstructed justice under ordinary application of the relevant criminal law.”

And in a Washington Post op-ed last year, Berke and Eisen — as well as co-author Noah Bookbinder — wrote, “The president is arguing that not only is he above the law but also above the facts. That audacious move is unbecoming for our nation’s chief law enforcement officer, and neither Mueller nor Congress should let him get away with it.”

(AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
The three also wrote in The New York Times that “from the publicly available information, it’s now clear that Trump obstructed justice.”

Eisen served as a White House counsel for Obama and has focused on government ethics and corruption as a co-founder of the group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

Berke, a litigation partner at the international law firm Kramer Levin, is based in New York City, and will commute four days per week to work for the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee. That arrangement, Collins asserted, constituted a problematic conflict of interest.

“Is Mr. Berke assisting the Majority staff to drive more business to his law firm?” Collins wrote in the letter, which also queried Nadler as to who would be paying for Berke’s hotel bills and other commuting costs.

“Is the nature of the Majority staff’s arrangement to pay Mr. Berke and Mr. Eisen by the hour?” the letter asked. “If so, what is the hourly rate? … Did Mr. Berke and Mr. Eisen complete the appropriate paperwork authorizing outside income as House employees? If not, is the ‘consultant’ arrangement for Mr. Berke and Mr. Eisen simply a veil to enable the Majority to circumvent normal reporting procedures?”

Collins added: “The Majority staff is also allowing Mr. Eisen to retain his position at the Brookings Institution, an elite, liberal think-tank. Such arrangements are fraught with technical, legal, and financial conflicts of interest.”

Eisen, Berke, and Nadler’s office did not respond to Fox News’ requests for comment. But in a statement Wednesday, Nadler called Eisen and Berke “two widely respected legal authorities” and said Democrats were determined to “ask critical questions, gather all the information, judiciously assess the evidence, and make sure that the facts are not hidden from the American people.”

Nadler specified that Berke and Eisen have been retained on a consulting basis as “special oversight staff” and they would consult on matters related to the Justice Department and Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference and connections to the Trump campaign.

As is my wont, I did some investigating into Mr. Berke and Mr Eisen.

Mr. Eisen is a Former White House Ethics Counsel in the Obama Administration

“Ethics” and “Obama”…is that a contradiction in terms?

But, I digress…

Eisen and Berke are members of an organization by the name of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). Eisen is the Chair and Co-founder. Berke is a Pro Bono Counsel.

Per InfluenceWatch.org,

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is a David Brock-aligned 501(c)(3) advocacy group that markets itself as a “nonpartisan” watchdog directing litigation against government corruption in an effort to advance the public interest. The group is part of Brock’s network of organizations including Democratic-aligned opposition research Super PAC American Bridge and media criticism organization Media Matters for America that form Brock’s campaign to oppose Republican officeholders.

The organization has been recognized as having “played instrumental roles in building a stronger, more integrated progressive infrastructure” by the Democracy Alliance. CREW has received funding from progressive foundations, including financier George Soros’s Open Society Institute and singer Barbra Streisand’s Streisand Foundation.

“Non-partisan”, my hindquarters.

No wonder Rep. Collins is upset.

Can you say “Lynch Mob #2”, gentle readers?

I knew that you could.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller stacked his investigative team with attorneys who just happened to be large Democratic Donors. And, they have yet to find any evidence of Russian Collusion on the part of President Trump.

As I wrote yesterday, neither did the House or Senate Committees who have already investigated the matter.

However, evidently Rep. Nadler, with the help of these “special investigators” that he has hired, believes that he can find the “smoking gun” by which he can somehow, someway force a Constitutionally elected American President from office and somehow usher in a millennium of “Democratic Socialism”…or something like that.

Have you ever notice that those who embrace the political philosophy of Progressivism are actually the opposite of being progressive in their words and deeds?

Look at what is going on in the House of Representatives.

These “pubic servants”, instead of attempting to move America forward and back into greatness through co-operation with President Trump, are actually regressing and pulling America backwards to the days of the Wild West, when people were guilty until proven innocent and mob rule was the order of the day.

For Nadler to have the ba…err…gall to hire these two Soros-funded Progressive political operatives and attempt to claim that they are non-partisan is like calling Michael Moore a fitness expert.

The House Dems need to be called out on this lynch mob mentality and waste of taxpayer money.

The Democrats’ never-ending National Temper Tantrum over President Trump beating Hillary Clinton fair and square on November 8, 2016 continues.

Except now, they are using their power as the majority party in the House to attempt to drive a President out of office who has done more in 2 years to improve the lives of Americans than his predecessor accomplished in 8.

For the House Leadership to attempt to sabotage the Trump Presidency without any evidence of collusion is not just wrong…

It is positively MARXIST.

Lenin would be so proud.

Former Head of Trump’s Legal Team Says Mueller Will Not File a Report…No Collusion

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

ABC News reports that

The veteran criminal defense attorney who headed President Donald Trump’s legal team during a crucial stretch of the special counsel investigation believes the entire affair will end in silence from special counsel Robert Mueller, and called the massive two-year probe into Russian interference in the 2016 campaign “a terrible waste of time.”

“I don’t think there’ll be a report,” John Dowd told ABC News in a wide-ranging interview for the premiere episode of “The Investigation,” a new podcast focused on the probe led by special counsel Robert Mueller. “I will be shocked if anything regarding the president is made public, other than ‘We’re done.’”

Dowd, 77, left his role as Trump’s lead attorney last March over differing views about how cooperative to be with prosecutors. But after spending nearly a year guiding the president’s legal strategy, he forged a close relationship with Trump and continues to speak with him about the Russia probe.

In one of his most in-depth interviews since departing Trump’s legal team, he offered a view of the probe very much in line with that of the president -– namely, that it lacks merit.

“I know exactly what [Mueller] has,” Dowd said. “I know exactly what every witness said, what every document said. I know exactly what he asked. And I know what the conclusion or the result is,” he said, describing the sweeping efforts by Trump’s legal team to assess the case by speaking to dozens of witnesses. Based on that knowledge, Dowd said, “there’s no basis. There’s no exposure. It’s been a terrible waste of time.”

Dowd’s overall view of the investigation — he called it “one of the greatest frauds this country’s ever seen” — echoes Trump’s claim that it is a hoax or a witch hunt.

Meanwhile, up on Capitol Hill,

After two years and 200 interviews, the Senate Intelligence Committee is approaching the end of its investigation into the 2016 election, having uncovered no direct evidence of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, according to both Democrats and Republicans on the committee.

But investigators disagree along party lines when it comes to the implications of a pattern of contacts they have documented between Trump associates and Russians — contacts that occurred before, during and after Russian intelligence operatives were seeking to help Donald Trump by leaking hacked Democratic emails and attacking his opponent, Hillary Clinton, on social media.

“If we write a report based upon the facts that we have, then we don’t have anything that would suggest there was collusion by the Trump campaign and Russia,” said Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, in an interview with CBS News last week.

Burr was careful to note that more facts may yet be uncovered, but he also made clear that the investigation was nearing an end.

“We know we’re getting to the bottom of the barrel because there’re not new questions that we’re searching for answers to,” Burr said.

On Tuesday, Burr doubled down, telling NBC News, “There is no factual evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.”

Back in April of last year, the House Investigative Committee also found no evidence of collusion with the Russians by President Trump after a year-long investigation.

However, now that the Democrats are in control of the House of Representatives, “Little Adam Schitt…err…Schipp and his “fellow travelers” have made investigating the Russian Collusion Fairy Tale their number one priority. However, they plan on not just investigating Russian Collusion, they plan on investigating the president’s personal finances, his tax returns, and probably his whole family if they get their way.

In my opinion, this makes the Democrats in the House of Representatives no better than a bunch of Internet Trolls.

They are not up on Capitol Hill serving their constituencies. They are serving themselves, attempting to abate the all-consuming hatred they hold for the 45th President of the United States of America.

President Trump fairly and squarely beat their Presidential Candidate, Hillary Clinton by finishing the night of November 8, 2016 with more Electoral Votes than she had, as per the requirements of our Constitution for determining the outcome of a Presidential Election.

Even though both bodies of Congress have completed their investigations and found diddly-squat and the Special Counsel’s Russia Probe has not found any evidence of collusion on the part of President Trump with the Russians, that is simply not good enough for these self-appointed Guardians of Truth and Righteousness, these Modern Day Pharisees.

Back during the meeting held on January 4 about the Government Shutdown, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told the President,

“We’re not going to impeach you.”

Uh huh.

Okay, then why hold all of these superfluous investigations?

Is the purpose simply to block Trump from succeeding in fulfilling the Campaign Promises he made to the American people?

That could be done through the normal delay tactics which have been used for years by both bodies of Congress.

No, this is something more. perhaps San Fran Nan was unaware that she was not speaking for the House Democrats.

Or, perhaps she was just plain lying to the President in order to get him to end the partial shutdown, which would make the House Democrats appear to have had the upper hand.

Whichever way, the House Democrats have come off as being monumentally ineffective, as President Trump currently has a “yuge” 52% approval rating.

Perhaps the House Democrats should cancel their investigative vendetta against the President and actually attempt to do the job that they were sent up to Capital Hill to do: serve their constituencies.

Naw…they wouldn’t do that.

As we say in Dixie,

“That would be too much like right.”

President Trump held a campaign-style rally Monday night in El Paso, Texas — just as possible 2020 contender and former U.S. Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke led a border wall protest roughly a half-mile away.

Trump’s event, held at the El Paso County Coliseum for his first “Make America Great Again Rally” of the year, didn’t identify the dueling rally nearby, in the town that sits along the U.S.-Mexico border, but the president did mention O’Rourke.

The “young man” with a “great name,” “challenged us,” the president said in reference to O’Rourke.

“We have, let’s say, 35,000 people tonight, and [O’Rourke] has 200 people, 300 people — not too good,” Trump told the crowd. It was not immediately clear how many people were at Trump and O’Rourke’s events.

President Trump slams Democratic leaders as border wall negotiations break down
Trump added, “In fact, what I would do is, I would say that may be the end of his presidential bid, but he did challenge it.”

The president announced his rally last week during his second State of the Union address, in which he alleged El Paso is now one of the nation’s safest cities because of a “powerful barrier” that was put in place — a claim that others disputed.

He reiterated that point on Monday night. Speaking to the crowd, in front of a large red banner that read, “finish the wall,” Trump said El Paso is one of the “safest cities” in America “thanks for a powerful border wall.”

He claimed that El Paso, compared to Juarez, Mexico, just across the southern border, had far less murders than the nearby Mexican city, adding: “Walls work.”

Moments before the president took the stage Monday, lawmakers reached “an agreement in principle” to fund the government and avoid another partial government shutdown. The deal includes around $1.3 billion for a barrier along the southern border.

Trump mentioned on stage that he didn’t know details, as news of the deal broke just before his rally, but acknowledged that “progress [was] being made” for border security.

The White House last month agreed to a temporary spending bill to end a 35-day partial shutdown, although Trump said at the time that the move was not a “concession” and that he would not relent on his demands for a wall.

The talks had cratered over the weekend because of Democratic demands to limit immigrant detentions by federal authorities, but lawmakers apparently broke through that impasse Monday evening.

Speaking of Beto, according to his people, there were 7,000 in attendance.

They were exaggerating.

Beto-Mexican-flag

Also, what the Main Stream Media will probably not be reporting this morning is that there were several Mexican Flags being flown at the rally.

Of course, that would be detrimental to the “next Obama’s” image.

I thought that, as a politician, you actually had to have a winning record before running for president.

But, I digress…

Last night, American Citizens living in the Lone Star State of Texas heard from a man who genuinely LOVES America and her people, instead of viewing us all as racist, misogynist, xenophobes…the 45th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.

Just like Trump did, with his refusal early in his campaign to “act more presidential”, he is still taking his message directly to the American People.

You see, Gentle Readers, Trump has always been a “people person”.

That is the reason that, when he was still a contributor to Fox News, he would speak to everyone in the building, from the maintenance crew, on up the ladder.

As Sam Walton, the Founder of Walmart, knew, you don’t inspire people by acting imperious and above it all.

“Mr. Sam”, until his health would no longer allow him to do so, would travel to Walmart Stores in his old pickup truck, with a tie and a baseball cap on, visiting the employees, in order to find out how his stores were doing.

He knew that the only way to be successful and to stay in touch with the public, was to be out among them, and speak to them honestly and directly, as one would speak to a friend.

Just as President Trump did when he went on a “Thank You” Tour and as he continues with his Daily Tweets to the American People..

The Political Establishment, of both parties, lost that concept, a long time ago.

Bypassing the borders to communication, historically determined by both political parties and the Main Stream Media, is a concept which I first witnessed being used by a Presidential Candidate in the 1980 Presidential Election, the before-mentioned Ronald Wilson Reagan.

While I am not comparing the two, I am noting that this strategy has proved effective for both men.

As yesterday’s RasmussenReports.com Presidential Approval Poll number of 52% showed, Trump continues to strike a resonant chord in the hearts of Average Americans, living in the part of America, which the snobbish Political Elites refer to as “Flyover Country”, but which we refer to as “America’s Heartland”, or, quite simply, “HOME”.

The reason being, President Trump is keeping his promises.

He does not talk down to us while disparaging our Sovereign Nation, as his predecessor did.

Trump talks to us in a plain-spoken, clearly understood way, a style which is in stark contrast to an opposition party full of professional politicians, whose only interest is the regaining of power in Washington, D.C., at whatever the cost.

Last night, the President of the United States of America, the most powerful man in the world, made Texans, along with the rest of us average Americans, feel good about ourselves and the future of our Sovereign Nation by repeating his vow from last Tuesday’s State of the Union Address:

AMERICA WILL NEVER BE A SOCIALIST COUNTRY…NEVER!

And, gentle readers, to see and hear an American President who genuinely loves this country and her people and who was willing to give up his “lifestyle of the rich and famous” in order to secure a safe and prosperous future for American Citizens is indeed a “radical change”.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, Anti-Semitism, and the “New Fascism” of the Democratic Party

On By kingsjesterIn Politics3 Comments

th (108)

FoxNews.com reports that

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., sparked backlash Sunday evening from members of both parties — including former first daughter Chelsea Clinton — after she accused a prominent lobbying group of paying members of Congress to support Israel.

Omar, the first Somali-American woman elected to Congress, responded to a Twitter post by journalist Glenn Greenwald criticizing House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., for threatening to take action against Omar and another freshman lawmaker, Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., over allegedly anti-Semitic remarks.

“There’s situations in our conference where a member does something that is wrong — I think you’ve seen from my own actions that I take action about it,” McCarthy told reporters Friday, making an apparent reference to Republican congressman Steve King of Iowa. “I think when they stay silent, they are just as guilty … I think this will not be the end of this, and if they do not take action then I think you will see action from myself. It’s unacceptable in this country, especially when you sit back and think about and listen to what this country went through in World War II.”

Greenwald accused McCarthy of targeting Omar and Tlaib for their numerous criticisms of Israel, to which Omar chimed in “It’s all about the Benjamins, baby,” quoting a 1997 rap song by Puff Daddy. She then doubled down when challenged by Batya Ungar-Sargon, the opinion editor of The Forward newspaper.

“Would love to know who @IlhanMN thinks is paying American politicians to be pro-Israel, though I think I can guess,” Ungar-Sargon tweeted. “Bad form, Congresswoman. That’s the second anti-Semitic trope you’ve tweeted.”

In response, Omar tweeted “AIPAC!” referring to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which regularly has been accused by progressives of agitating for a conflict with Iran.

“We are proud that we are engaged in the democratic process to strengthen the US-Israel relationship,” AIPAC tweeted Sunday evening. “Our bipartisan efforts are reflective of American values and interests. We will not be deterred in any way by ill-informed and illegitimate attacks on this important work.”

Another freshman Democrat, Max Rose of New York, tweeted that Omar’s statements “are deeply hurtful to Jews, including myself.”

“When someone uses hateful and offensive tropes and words against people of my faith, I will not be silent,” Rose said in a statement. “… At a time when anti-Semitic attacks are on the rise, our leaders should not be invoking hurtful stereotypes and caricatures of Jewish people to dismiss those who support Israel. In the Democratic Party – and in the United States of America – we celebrate the diversity of our people, and the Gods we pray to, as a strength. The congresswoman’s statements do not live up to that cherished ideal.”

The Republican Jewish Coalition called on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to take action against Omar and asked rhetorically if other House Democrats would “care to comment on the outrageous anti-Semitism being spewed by one of your fêted members?”

“[House Majority] Leader [Steny] Hoyer [D-Md.] – you’ve led many AIPAC trips to Israel,” RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks tweeted. “Will you speak out against this??”

McCarthy himself tweeted: “Anti-Semitic tropes have no place in the halls of Congress. It is dangerous for Democrat leadership to stay silent on this reckless language.”

…Sunday marked the latest in a long line of statements by Omar that critics have slammed as anti-Semitic. In 2012, she tweeted that “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. #Gaza #Palestine#Israel.” She did not apologize for posting the tweet until last month.

In January, Omar argued in a Yahoo! News interview that Israel could not be considered a democracy and compared it to the Islamic theocracy in Iran.

“When I see Israel institute laws that recognize it as a Jewish state and does not recognize the other religions that are living in it, and we still uphold it as a democracy in the Middle East I almost chuckle because I know that if we see that any other society we would criticize it, call it out,” she said. “We do that to Iran, we do that to any other place that sort of upholds its religion. And I see that now happening with Saudi Arabia and so I am aggravated, truly, in those contradictions.”

Ever since my collegiate days, from 1976-1980, when I was a Radio News Director, I have watched with stunned incredulity, as the American Liberal Political Ideology and its adherents, have vocally castigated the country of Israel for defending themselves against the violent factions of nomadic tribes , who wish for nothing else than their annihilation of both the country of Israel and their citizenry.

The irony of their naiveté, is the fact that, in the 1960’s, American Liberals were among some of Israel’s strongest supporters. However, as of this writing, they continue to blatantly back the Palestinians and the Terrorist Organization known as Hamas.

Opposing God’s Chosen People and supporting the historically nomadic people that call themselves “Palestinians” fits with Modern Liberals’ Political Ideology, which views modern political struggles as “Class Warfare”, being waged between race and ethnic groups. Liberals believe that the predominantly white West is  somehow subjugating the non-white rest of the world. This viewpoint is an extension of the class-based, rich versus poor, categories, which they intentionally classify people in, following the example of their fallen messiah, Former President Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm).

However, not only is Representative Omar a Far Left Radical, she is also most definitely a Radical Islamist.

Per GatewayPundit.com,

Ilhan Omar won a historic victory over 44-year incumbent DFL Rep. Phyllis Kahn.

Ilhan Omar built a vast coalition of East African voters to defeat the incumbent in Minneapolis.

The liberal media forgot to mention Ilhan was married to her brother.

In 2017, several months after Omar’s marriage history briefly created a national news item, Omar quietly petitioned family court for a default divorce, claiming she could not locate Elmi.

Democrat Ilhan Omar ran against the BDS – anti-Israel -movement.
But now that she won her election she is open about her support for BDS.

Per their website BDSMovement.net,

The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement works to end international support for Israel’s oppression of Palestinians and pressure Israel to comply with international law.

Of course, Representative Omar is also supported by and supportive of CAIR – The Council on American-Islamic Relations.

…From its inception, CAIR has sought to portray itself as a moderate, mainstream organization, and as early as 1996 its officials became frequent guests at State Department and White House events. In the aftermath of 9/11, when the Bush administration tried to reassure American Muslims that Islam was not the target of the war on terrorism, CAIR officials were prominent among the invitees. CAIR was the main Islamic group to gain U.S. media access in the post-9/11 period, providing the “Muslim view” of the terrorist attacks and of America’s response to them. As self-acclaimed Muslim spokesmen, CAIR officials typically refused to “simplify the situation” by blaming Osama bin Laden for the attacks on America. Moreover, while they eventually were induced by journalists to condemn Palestinian suicide terror in a pro forma manner, they hedged their disavowals by describing it as an understandable response to Israeli brutality.

For years now, I have referred to the intolerant political ideology of Modern American Liberals as “The New Fascism” because of their intolerance toward traditional Americans Faith and Values, including our relationship with our closest ally, since their birth as a country in 1948.

What we are seeing now, as regards the growing anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party, which began under Former President Barack Hussein Obama, is a result of an amalgamation of the political philosophies of the special interest groups who have replaced average Americans as the Democrats’ Voting Base.

Anti-Semitism is the norm in Marxism in all of its forms, fascism, and, of course, Islam.

All of these political philosophies are the anti-thesis of who the Far Left Democrats claim to be.

Ladies and gentlemen, I firmly believe that America is now fighting a new war against fascism.

It’s not a war that is being fought with guns and bullets, But instead, it is being fought with  superfluous Congressional Hearings attacking President Trump, anonymous sources, unproven baseless accusations, and the Vanguard of the Modern Democratic Party, the Main Stream Media.

It’s not our Brightest and Best who are dying on this field of battle, but rather, it is our Constitutional Freedoms and our form of government, including our System of Checks and Balances, which are dying an ignoble death, pierced by the arrows of socialism and political correctness.

By now, there’s some out there in the audience saying, “Oh Lord, the crazy old cracker’s overreacting again.”

No, Skippy, I’m not.

If you try to talk to a Liberal about this New Fascism, they will deny that there is any fascism going on at all. In fact, they will tell you that this is “the will of the people” and they will site Democratically stacked push polls in order to back their opinion up.

Liberals can not legitimately defend their positions, such as the suppression of the Second Amendment Rights of average Americans, the Silent Coup began by those members of the DOJ and FBI during the Obama Administration against now-President Trump, the “Caining” of Judge Kavanaugh, and now, the growth of anti-Semitism within the Democratic Party.

Fascism, in any form, remains indefensible.

All of this political unethical behavior by the Far Left Democrats is reminiscent of both the Russian Revolution and Hitler and his Brown Shirts’ “Beer Hall Putsch” which probably should have been expected, given the “New Bolsheviks” track record of Liberal Intolerance and aversion to opposing viewpoints.

Ronald Reagan, during an interview with Mike Wallace on 12/14/75, quipped…

“You know, someone very profoundly once said many years ago that if fascism ever comes to America, it will come in the name of liberalism.”

The man was a prophet.

Pelosi Claims SOTU Golf Clap “Wasn’t Sarcastic”, Then Does it With “Stars” at MusiCares Person of the Year Show

On By kingsjesterIn Entertainment, PoliticsLeave a comment

Pelosi-Perry-Bloom

Yeah, they can all clap like seals. But, can they all balance a ball on their nose, also?

FoxNews.com reports that

After defending her ‘sarcastic clap’ directed at President Donald Trump during Tuesday’s State of the Union speech, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Ca., assured the public it was, in fact, sincere applause.

“It wasn’t sarcastic,” she said to reporters on Wednesday.

She added: “I wanted him to know that was a very welcome message.”

However, it looked anything but sincere as she recreated the moment with Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom and singer Katy Perry.

The Speaker was attending the MusiCares Person of the Year gala in Los Angeles Friday. The event honored country music icon Dolly Parton.

She was caught by cameras laughing and recreating the moment with the entertainers as her husband looked on.

Pelosi’s daughter contradicted her mother’s claim that Tuesday’s initial clap was not sarcastic and harkened back to her childhood.

“Oh yes that clap took me back to the teen years. She knows. And she knows that you know. And frankly she’s disappointed that you thought this would work. But here’s a clap,” Christine Pelosi tweeted.

I was going to say “words fail me”.

But…you know better.

I receive President Trump’s tweets on my phone as soon as he sends them.

however, when I look at them, there always are hundred of Liberals Trolls already on the thread, hurling vile insulting tweets at the president through means of gifs, memes, and expletive-filled, poorly-spelled missives designed to pacify the internal angst and temper tantrum of the individual sending them.

I always wonder how these internet trolls, paid and unpaid, can post such horrible, disrespectful garbage aimed at the president of our mutual country.

I always figured it was lack of home training.

However, after watching the actions of San Fran Nan Pelosi and the rest of the Far Left Democratic Party, including the “useful idiots” in Hollywood and the rest of the Entertainment Industry, I realize that we are witnessing what I have described as the rise of the “New Bolsheviks”.

The Democratic Hierarchy are ideologues dedicated to “radically changing” our Constitutional Republic into “just another country” governed through “Democratic Socialism”.

The Democrats have to be the most arrogant and stupid political party in history to believe that attacking a sitting president who has accomplished so much for the American people in so short a time will win them the approval of the average Americans between the two coasts who put him in office in the first place.

They do not seem to comprehend that it was their overestimation of their popularity which cost them the 2016 Presidential Election in the first place. Their anti-American policies and blatant political corruption, administrated with joyful glee for 8 long years by Barack Hussein Obama did nothing for Democrats except lose them the presidency by producing a visceral hatred of them by those Americans whom they continue to insult on a daily basis.

The Democrats have not been the party of the “working man” for decades. In fact, since the Far Left have taken over the party, they have become nothing but a conglomeration of special interest groups, drawn together by their desire to “radically change” America into a nation governed by adherents to the failed theories of Karl Marx, as I mentioned earlier.

The Democratic Party has done nothing since November of 2016 to attempt to calm down their minions such as the black-robed cowards of Antifa, or the “New Bolsheviks who tried to storm Capitol Hill during the Kavanaugh Hearings, no matter how their individual candidates promised to “get along” with Republicans during the Midterm Campaign.

They certainly were not “getting along” with Acting Attorney General Whitaker the other day when he came to answer their questions, were they?

What the Democrats need to remember is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In the case of their continued attacks on and planned investigations against President Trump, they need to remember that they live in a humongous glass house.

And, it is very hard to deliver a sarcastic “golf clap” in wrist and ankle shackles in an orange jumpsuit.

Amazon May Not Open 2nd NYC Headquarters, Thanks to AOC and Other “Democratic Socialists”

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Socialism is the same as Communism, only better English. – George Bernard Shaw

FoxNews.com reports that

Amazon is reconsidering opening part of its second headquarters in New York after fierce opposition from lawmakers, according to a new report. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seemed elated by the news story.

The Washington Post, which is also owned by Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, reported the Seattle-based tech giant is reconsidering the plan and has not leased or purchased any office space for the project. The report cited two people familiar with the company’s thinking.

“The question is whether it’s worth it if the politicians in New York don’t want the project, especially with how people in Virginia and Nashville have been so welcoming,” one person familiar with the company’s plans told the Post.

Ocasio-Cortez, who has been extraordinarily negative towards Amazon, which has promised 25,000 jobs and over $27.5 billion in tax revenue in 25 years, tweeted that “everyday people” can “effectively organize against creeping overreach of one of the world’s biggest corporations.”

Speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not at liberty to discuss the plans publicly, the people said Amazon executives have had discussions inside the company to reassess the situation in New York and explore other locales.

The Post added that no specific plans to abandon New York have been made and it’s possible Amazon could use them as a threat to pressure New York lawmakers. According to a December Quinnipiac University poll, 57 percent of New York City residents support Amazon’s arrival in the region, compared to just 26 percent who oppose the deal, Fox Business reported.

Amazon has not yet returned a request for comment from Fox News, but it did tell TechCrunch it is “focused on engaging with our new neighbors – small business owners, educators, and community leaders.”

“Whether it’s building a pipeline of local jobs through workforce training or funding computer science classes for thousands of New York City students, we are working hard to demonstrate what kind of neighbor we will be,” Amazon added in the statement

Late last year, newly elected Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez railed against the company for getting tax breaks at a time when she bemoaned of crumbling infrastructure.

As part of the deal, Amazon would stand to receive “performance-based direct incentives of $1.525 billion” for creating the 25,000 jobs in Long Island City. Of this $1.525 billion, up to $1.2 billion could come from a refundable tax credit through New York State’s Excelsior Program and a $325 million cash grant from the Empire State Development fund. The company also said that it will “separately apply for as-of-right incentives including New York City’s Industrial & Commercial Abatement Program (ICAP) and New York City’s Relocation and Employment Assistance Program (REAP).”

Last month, New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson said no one should assume it’s a “done deal.” “I don’t think anyone should assume that this is a fait accompli, and that this is a done deal,” Johnson told Business Insider. “This is the beginning of a process where the public and the City Council and other elected officials are going to continue to seek answers and understand whether or not this is a good deal for New York City, or if we got played.”

Amazon has taken heat from a range of public officials, including the aforementioned Ocasio-Cortez, as well as state Sen. Michael Gianaris and New York City Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer.

A half dozen more hearings are scheduled for January through March in advance of a vote by the New York State Public Authorities Control Board, which according to state law has final say over the “approval of the financing and construction of any project proposed by state public benefit corporations.”

Amazon said it would bring 25,000 full-time high-paying jobs, approximately $2.5 billion in Amazon investment and eventually 8 million square feet of office space to Long Island City as part of its investment announced in November. The Seattle-based company also said that it expects to generate “incremental tax revenue of more than $10 billion over the next 20 years as a result of Amazon’s investment and job creation.”

The Post noted that Amazon’s plan to put part of its second headquarters in Virginia, where it will receive up to $750 million in state subsidies, is not being reconsidered.

“Creeping overreach”?

“25,000 jobs and over $27.5 billion in tax revenue in 25 years” is “creeping overreach”?

I would ask how cotton-pickin’ stupid can AOC be…but she would take that as a challenge.

Between New York City’s Socialist Mayor Bill de Blasio, Socialist Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and baby murderer (yeah, I said it) Andrew Cuomo, not to mention all of the rest of the Liberal whack-jobs in Municipal and State Government in New York, I do not blame Amazon at all for having second thoughts.

Just like the Marxists during the Russian Revolution over a century ago, these “New Bolsheviks” do not care whom they hurt or what damage they inflict to a country’s economy, as long as they get their way and their failed political ideology is installed as the government in power.

As I just alluded to, Marxism, or as the Far Left Democratic Party calls its current incarnation, “Democratic Socialism”, always fails when useful idiots like OAC decide to install it as their nation’s central government.

You see, boys and girls, the secret of American Exceptionalism, is our American Freedom and the Entrepreneurial Spirit of American Individualism, concepts which are anathema to champions of Marxism such as AOC and her “fellow travelers” in the Far Left Democratic Party.

For America to prosper, we must remain free. For America to remain free, we must be prosperous.

American Capitalism is the engine which drives a strong, vibrant economy. American Capitalism is the result of the courageous Entrepreneurial Spirit of individual American Citizens. The same “Can Do” attitude which led to Western Expansion and triumphs against enemies, foreign and domestic.

America was formed by men seeking FREEDOM. She grew and prospered because of an indomitable will and spirit forged through the Refiner’s Fire, guided by the common-sense words, inscribed in our Constitution, and administered through a Constitutional Republic. Our nation’s largesse and strength comes through the actions and character of her citizens, not through the usurpation of power by professional politicians, who have long since lost touch with their constituency.

AOC and the Democrats’ ongoing attempt to “radically change” our nation into a Third World Barrio will continue to be met with resistance, not because of professional politicians, but, because of the defiance of the American People, who love their country.

It was this Defiant Spirit which caused Americans to elect American Entrepreneur and Businessman Donald J. Trump as our 45th President.

And, it is President Trump’s ending of burdensome restrictions and punitive taxes placed on American Businesses by the Previous Democratic Administration which has caused our country’s unemployment rates to drop and America’s Economic Comeback to begin.

As witnessed by the destruction of the once prosperous country of Venezuela, all socialism brings is despair and destruction.

Or, as Sir Winston Churchill so eloquently put it.

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

Amazon needs to tell AOC, de Blasio, and the rest of the Far Left Democrats in New York City that they want no part of it.

The National Prayer Breakfast and the Dems’ Horrible Two Weeks…Perhaps Pelosi Shouldn’t Have Claimed to Be “Doing the Lord’s Work”

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, Politics1 Comment

At-National-Prayer-Breakfast-Trump-says-I-will-never-let-you-down

“It’s really quite a sad thing when you know that we’ll be talking about something that applies to the health and life — health and ability to have other children of women. I hope that in his family, he never has to face that crisis and apply his attitude toward it.” – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

CBSNews.com reports that

President Trump, speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. Thursday, assured his audience that his administration will protect religious liberties.

“I will never let you down,” the president told his audience — which included House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “I can say that. Never.” 

The president has relied on religious conservatives, particularly evangelical Christians, for much of his base. His speech came after he devoted some of his State of the Union address to the issue of late-term abortion, a key issue for many conservative Christians — especially after bills in New York and Virginia aiming to ease late-term abortion restrictions. The president reiterated his commitment to the pro-life movement Thursday. 

“All children born and unborn are made in the holy image of God,” Mr. Trump told the prayer breakfast. 

Mr. Trump also brought up religious persecution abroad, human trafficking and other issues he says his administration is committed to addressing. 

…”Since the founding of our nation, many of our greatest strides, from gaining our independence to abolition of civil rights, to extending the vote for women, have been led by people of faith and started in prayer,” Mr. Trump said. 

Every president since President Dwight D. Eisenhower has attended that annual breakfast, which typically includes members of Congress and foreign dignitaries. 

I wonder if San Fran Nan was grinding her dentures again like she did on Tuesday Night?

As a Christian American Conservative, I have been watching the last couple of weeks with great interest.

On January 24th, PJMedia.com reported that

In yet another example of moral narcissism and the liberal inability to understand conservative positions on faith, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi declared that her party, the Democratic Party, does the will of God while Republicans dishonor their Creator.

Of Republicans, the Democrat congresswoman from California declared, “They pray in church on Sunday and they prey on people the rest of the week. And while we’re doing the Lord’s work, ministering to the needs of God’s creation, they are ignoring those needs which is to dishonor the God who made them.”

The very day that PJ Media was posting their report, Ney York Governor Mario Cuomo signed into law the horrendous Third Trimester Abortion Bill, followed shortly afterward by the effort in Virginia to pass a similar bill, justified by their Democratic Governor, Ralph Northam.

Those two moments started an avalanche of “setbacks” for Nancy Pelosi’s Democratic Party, which continues even as I write this post.

Between the scandals among the Virginia Government Hierarchy involving the wearing of blackface and a claimed sexual assault, President Trump’s outstanding SOTU Address and resulting 49% approval rate , and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s unintentionally hilarious “New Green Deal” which Democrats are signing off on like lemmings jumping off a cliff in a Walt Disney True Life Adventure, the Dems’ hopes for victory in the 2020 Presidential Election have begun a long and entertaining (for everyone but them) swirl down the ol’ porcelain receptacle.

Now, I cannot and will not speak for the Triune God, the Author and Finisher of my Christian Faith. Neither am I going to say that the recent unveiling of the face of true evil that is today’s Democratic Party was God teaching them a lesson.

However…

For House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, on behalf of the Far Left Democratic Party, who denied God years ago in their National Convention, to now attempt to use the God of Abraham as a supporter for murdering babies in the womb and to justify their overall treasonous behavior by proclaiming Him to be the Spokesperson and Arbiter against the actions and policies of President Trump, after turning their back on God for years, is a display of hypocrisy that would had made even the ancient Pharisees blush.

In fact, their desperation reminds me of a passage found in the New Testament,

22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ – Matthew 7:22-23

The unraveling of the Democratic Party, which I have been watching these last couple of weeks, reminds me of a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson which I had on a poster in my bedroom as a teenager, which read,

All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.
