McConnell Upset That Tucker is Releasing January 6th Videos

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) called Tucker Carlson’s segment on Jan. 6 “a mistake for Fox News,” a sharp contrast from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who supplied Carlson with the exclusive footage from the day of the attack that aired on Monday night.

The comments follow Thomas Manger, chief of the U.S. Capitol Police, denouncing the Fox News host’s portrayal of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol as “filled with offensive and misleading conclusions” and accusing him of cherry-picking footage to give a misleading account of the riots.

“I want to associate myself entirely with the opinion of the chief and the Capitol Police about what happened on Jan. 6,” McConnell said as he held up a copy of the Tuesday letter that Manger sent to his Capitol Police colleagues. “It was a mistake, in my view, for Fox News to depict this in a way that’s completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at the Capitol thinks.”

Carlson released the first portion of never-before-seen surveillance video from the riot at the Capitol by Trump supporters on his show Monday, calling it “mostly peaceful chaos.”

McConnell declined to say directly if he believes it was a mistake for McCarthy to share the Jan. 6 security footage with Carlson, sidestepping any criticism of the GOP leader. “My concern is how it was depicted,” he said.” (Courtesy WashingtonExaminer.com)

I am sure it is, Vichy Mitch.

So, why is McConnell reacting to the release of the footage identically to Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer?

It’s because Republican Senator “Vichy Mitch” McConnell is, above all, a Swamp Creature, a member of the Capitol Hill Elite.

McConnell, as the Majority Leader of the Senate, was responsible, along with Former (Thank God) Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, for providing security for the Capitol Building and oversight of the Capitol Police.

President Trump asked for 10,000 National Guard Troops to help with security that day…a request that was denied.

McConnell hates Trump and the MAGA Movement with every fiber of his being.

He is a professional politician who believes that his constituents serve him instead of the other way around.

Trump’s grassroots populism movement threatens the Washington Status Quo.

McConnell does not want the January 6th video footage released because it will show that the “rioters” were let into the Capitol Building by the Capitol Police themselves and that the whole “insurrection” was manipulated by Capitol Hill Insiders, including him.

This will be no surprise to the Republican Voting Base who do not trust the Capitol Hill Establishment Republicans any further than they can throw them.

Americans have watched the Republicans sell them out to the Democrats for years until Trump came along.

Trump connected with average Americans in a way no other Republican has since Ronaldus Magnus (Ronald Reagan).

The Republican Establishment had grown arrogant and aloof, distancing themselves from the people who gave them their cushy jobs on Capitol Hill.

President Trump came along and galvanized the average Americans in “Flyover Country” into a Conservative Juggernaut and a political force to be reckoned with.

He lifted the Republican Party up from the mire of the D.C. Swamp and showed them how to actually stand up to Pelosi, Schumer, and company.

I believe that the majority of Americans believe that what happened on January 6th was a set-up from the getgo, a continuous of the Capitol Hill TDS Americans witnessed throughout Trump’s 4 years in office.

And, the January 6th videos are confirming that belief.

Schumer Kills Senate Bill That Would Make Our Schools Safer

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

The day after 19 innocent schoolchildren and 2 teachers were killed by a psychopath, Senator Chuck Schumer killed a bill which would have potentially provided stronger security in our nation’s schools.

The bill, named after Parkland, Florida, shooting victims Luke Hoyer and Alex Schachter, would require the Department of Homeland Security to establish a “Federal Clearinghouse on School Safety Best Practices” for use by state and local educational and law-enforcement agencies, institutions of higher education, health professionals, and the public. And it would require DHS to “collect clearinghouse data analytics, user feedback on the implementation of best practices and recommendations identified by the clearinghouse, and any evaluations conducted on these best practices and recommendations.” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)

Why did Schumer kill that bill?

He killed it because the Democrat Elite care more about taking away law-abiding Americans’ guns than they do about the safety of our children.

The Democrats’ never-ending quest for “Gun Control”, if successful, would only succeed in controlling law-abiding American Citizens, instead of punishing those who operate outside of our laws, such as the thugs who have turned Former President Obama’s “hometown” of Chicago and my hometown of Memphis into their own personal “Killing Fields” and the Marxist Anarchists who threaten to riot in our major cities SCOTUS rules the wrong way on the Abortion Case before them now.

The leader of the bloody Russian Revolution, Vladimir Lenin, once wrote that

“One man with a gun can control 100 without one.”

If the Democrats had their way, we would live in a country under the oppression of restrictive gun laws, which would be modeled after those in Europe. And, as past events have plainly shown, those restrictive gun laws have allowed Islamic Terrorists and other murderous nut jobs to kill innocent people unchallenged, because none of those innocent people were allowed to carry a weapon with which to defend themselves.

In fact, in some cases, even the police officers, who first arrived on the scene, were unarmed, and had to call for additional forces, thus giving the perpetrators more time to murder and maim the innocent.

One of our Founding Fathers, Dr. Benjamin Franklin, once wrote,

“Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”

Like Dr. Franklin and the rest of those who have fought for our freedom, average Americans realize what Democrats do not.

The problem in stopping mass murders and other shooting deaths from happening is not that there are not enough gun laws. The problem is the gun laws on the books are not properly enforced.

The dissolution of the Family Unit, the revolving door state of our Municipal Justice Systems and the lack of recognition and treatment of the mentally ill and wannabe Terrorists and Marxist Anarchists, has a lot to do with the rise of these horrible massacres in America and the horrible violence which plagues cities like Chicago and Memphis.

What Liberals have never understood, in their continuous quest to take away the Second Amendment rights of average Americans, is that we will never surrender our Constitutional Right to defend ourselves and our families from enemies foreign and domestic.

What part of the words quote “shall not be infringed” do you Liberals not understand?

Passing more restrictive gun laws is not the answer.

Criminals are called “outlaws” for a reason.

They will find a way to get guns. They do now.

I agree with what Former President Trump said when Candidate Biden brought up Gun Control: “Hit the animals hard”.

This is a people problem. Not a gun problem.

After all, have you ever seen a gun pull its own trigger?

Shampeachment 2: TDS Boogaloo…Send in the Clowns!

Newsmax.com reports that

The Senate leaders have reached a deal with House impeachment managers on the rules for the second trial of former President Donald Trump.

“All parties have agreed to a structure that will ensure a fair and honest impeachment trial,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announced Monday on the Senate floor. “The structure we have agreed to is eminently fair. It will allow for the trial to achieve its purpose: truth and accountability.”

There will be a debate and a subsequent simple majority vote Tuesday on the constitutionality of the impeachment trial of a former president. The Democrats have more votes in the Senate if it breaks 50-50, since Vice President Kamala Harris would cast the deciding vote. Late last month, 5 anti-Trump Republicans voted with Democrats to proceed to a Senate trial.

Then, Wednesday, there will be 16 hours of debate for both the House impeachment managers and Trump’s defense lawyers. Trump has declined an invitation to testify on his behalf.

After the senator jurors’ question period, there will be a debate and a vote on whether to call witnesses, as requested by the House impeachment managers. No witnesses were called during the passing of the House article of impeachment of “incitement of an insurrection.”

“There must, there must be truth and accountability if we are going to move forward, heal, and bring our country together once again,” Schumer said. “Sweeping something as momentous as this under the rug brings no healing whatsoever.

“A president cannot simply resign to avoid accountability for an impeachable offense, nor can they escape judgment by waiting until their final few weeks in office to betray our country.”

“The impeachment powers,” he added, “cannot be defeated by a president who decides to run.”

The trial will recess by Friday 5 p.m. ET through Saturday at the request of defense attorney David Schoen, who observes the Jewish Sabbath, per the report.

Whatever.

It is still unconstitutional!!!

Retired Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax TV on Monday that former President Donald Trump’s lawyers have three fundamental principles to argue in his impeachment trial when it starts on Tuesday, not the least of which is that the Senate can’t violate the Constitution to convict him.

Dershowitz, who defended Trump in his first impeachment trial a year ago, said Trump’s attorneys should argue several points against the charge of “incitement to insurrection.” The charge by the House refers to when he spoke to supporters on Jan. 6 in Washington before some breached the U.S. Capitol. Some lawmakers allege he egged them on in his remarks before the riot, in which there were five fatalities.

Point 1 to Dershowitz: The Senate has no jurisdiction over a former president. If it did, it could convict any former officeholder — think former President Bill Clinton, for instance — without a statute of limitations.

Secondly, Trump’s speech to supporters in Washington, in which he reiterated his long-standing claim that he lost the Nov. 3 election due to massive election fraud, was constitutionally protected.

He said the Trump team should argue that Congress cannot deny Trump the freedom of speech by saying it doesn’t apply to him.

“The Senate can’t violate the First Amendment in it’s impeachment,” Dershowitz said on “Spicer & Co.” “The House managers said the First Amendment isn’t applicable. Impeachment stands on its own.”

reeheesn the clow, send in siping circusarticipating in this three-cpectablet rt In my 62 years of life, I have never seen a President relentlessly attacked by the opposition party the way the President Donald J. Trump was.

Heck, they started before he and Melania came down that escalator to announce his candidacy.

That is how much they feared the man.

Even the Chinese releasing a worldwide plague in the form of a coronavirus couldn’t stop him. It merely slowed him down.

The economy was beginning to come back before the election.

If you consider the enormity of the political attacks which President Trump has had to endure over the last 5 years, it is simply amazing that he kept his hand on the captain’s wheel of the Ship of State.

Even before he was a candidate, the Deep State, under the orders of President Barack Hussein Obama was spying on him.

He had to battle a snobbish Republican Elite to even make it to the primaries when he emerged victorious over a group of professional politicians.

He then had to battle the Vichy Republicans, the Democrats, and the Main Stream Media, who all would have rather the Queen of Mean, Hillary Clinton had won the Presidency.

Then, once he took the Oath of Office, all bets were off, as the Republican-led House and Speaker Paul Ryan , along with Mitch McConnell and the rest of the Vichy Republicans in the Senate fought him every step of the way,, including appointing a Special Counselor to investigate “Russian Collusion”, which was a false charge from the get-go, which eventually failed to prove anything.

Then, after the Democrats took back the House in 2018, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Jerry Nadler, Adam Schiff, and the rest of the cast of idiots attempted a sham impeachment based on a “perfect” phone call to the President of Ukraine.

And, after all of that, he had to face was a rigged election, which polls show that 76% of Americans admit was rigged.

Now, the Democrats and Vichy Republicans have come up with the ultimate plan: an unconstitutional impeachment of a private citizen, accusing him of inciting violence in our nation’s capital.

If found guilty in their kangaroo court, Donald J. Trump will never be able to run from President again.

There are several problems with this ultimate plan drawn up by “the smartest people in the room”.

First, evidence continues to come out that this attack was preplanned. President Trump had nothing to do with it.

Second, he called upon the crowd to “peaceful protest”. While he was doing that, the preplanned attacked was already in progress.

Finally, you cannot, as Professor Dershowitz pointed out, convict a private citizen for exercising their First Amendment Right to Free Speech.

If you could, Maxine Waters, Chuck Schumer and the rest of the Democrats who have threated Trump and his supporters over the last 4five years, would already be in jail.

Today will be the start of a sorry spectacle.

All those who participated in all of the illegal and Unconstitutional acts perpetrated against President Trump in the last five years and are participating in this three ring circus should be ashamed.

However, they are all professional bureaucrats and politicians.

They have no shame.

So…send in the clowns.

Too late…they’re here.

McConnell Proposes Adding Probing of Election Fraud and Getting Rid of Liability Protection For Social Media Platforms to $2,000 Covid-19 Relief Bill

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1343998076084748288?s=20

Newsmax.com reports that

After blocking a Senate move to vote on boosting coronavirus stimulus checks on Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell introduced an alternative proposal. In it, the checks are increased as President Donald Trump, many Democrats and even some GOP lawmakers have urged.

But McConnell also ties those fatter payments to Trump priorities including probing allegations of election fraud and diminishing liability protections for social media platforms, Newsweek reports.

Sent the original COVID-19 economic stimulus bill, Trump declined to sign without major changes. He wanted individual relief checks boosted from $600 to $2,000.

Unrelated to COVID, he also wanted a repeal of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects social media platforms from being sued over third-party content. And he wanted inquiries into his claims of election fraud, which have been been pressed without success in court and at the legislative level for weeks since the Nov. 3 election outcome favored opponent Joe Biden.

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York said the new proposal from McConnell could not pass, giving the majority leader an “out” on the larger relief package.

In a statement, Newsweek reported, Schumer had this to say: “Senator McConnell knows how to make $2,000 survival checks reality and he knows how to kill them,” Schumer said. “If Sen. McConnell tries loading up bipartisan House-passed CASH Act with unrelated, partisan provisions that will do absolutely nothing to help struggling families across the country, it will not pass the House and cannot become law.”

The move by McConnell creates a bind for Dems, who can either vote the bill down and be blamed for killing the package of much-needed aid, or embrace it with the add-ons and, as Newsweek put it, “lend credence” to Trump’s claims of election fraud that drove his loss to Biden.

The immediate future of the Republican legislator’s proposed alternative is not clear. He said Tuesday, albeit without a precise time frame, that lawmakers would be beginning a process to help focus and refine the president’s wishes.

In a sign of how House Dems were likely to view the McConnell plan, New Jersey Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. tweeted this, Newsweek reported: “To block you from getting $2000 mitch mcconnell is demanding a ‘commission’ to spew lies about the election trump lost and attack democracy. This is a goddamn disgrace. The depravity of republican leaders has no bottom.”

Dem firebrand and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted: “I think it’s a big mistake to not approve a clean bill sending $2k checks out to people, so let’s call it even. Keep going @BernieSanders! Make the Senate countdown the New Year on the Senate floor until they pass $2k checks, no funny business attached.”

Here’s the thing: the Democrats had a “YUGE” amount of Pork stuffed into the original bill that had absolutely nothing to do with Covid-19 Relief or the health and well-being of American citizens.

Garbage like money for Gender Studies in Pakistan had no place in such an important bill.

The Democrats have become notorious over the last several decades for throwing temper tantrums on the House Floor and the Senate Chambers if they did not get their way in negotiations.

And, time after time the spineless Vichy Republicans would allow themselves to be run over, even if a Republican was President at the time of the legislation in question.

So, one of the things about Trump which caused the Democrat Hierarchy to lose their ever-lovin’ minds when he was elected President was the fact that he was a skilled negotiator and the Dems knew it.

They had a problem: Trump would not let them walk all over him.

And, boys and girls, that is what is happening now.

Trump does indeed want the things which McConnell is attempting to add to the $2,000 per American citizen payout.

However, the President’s first priority is to get the money to the people in order to ease their suffering and to rocket launch the economy…again.

I understand the move by McConnell.

However, for the sake of average Americans, I believe that the Covid-19 Relief Payout should be a stand-alone bill, passed immediately.

The Far Left Democrats and the Vichy Republicans can negotiate all of the special interest handouts, the Section 230 Issue, and a detailed examination of Election Fraud after the checks are in the mail or Americans’ Bank Accounts.

America (and Americans) First.

Trump Calls Covid-19 Relief Bill “A Disgrace”, Sends it Back to Congress Calling for $2,000 Each for Americans Instead of Just $600

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Newsmax.com reports that

President Donald Trump threatened on Tuesday not to sign a $892 billion coronavirus relief bill that includes desperately needed money for individual Americans, saying it should be amended to increase the amount in the stimulus checks.

The outgoing Republican president’s threat, with less than a month left in office, throws into turmoil a bipartisan effort in Congress to provide help for people whose lives have been upended by the pandemic.

“The bill they are now planning to send back to my desk is much different than anticipated,” Trump said in a video posted on Twitter. “It really is a disgrace.”

Speaker Nancy Pelosi was quick to embrace Trump’s call for bigger checks in the relief package.

After the president posted his video, she tweeted: “Republicans repeatedly refused to say what amount the President wanted for direct checks. At last, the President has agreed to $2,000 — Democrats are ready to bring this to the Floor this week by unanimous consent. Let’s do it!”

Both the House of Representatives and the Senate passed the legislation on Monday night.

Trump said he wants Congress to increase the amount in the stimulus checks to $2,000 for individuals or $4,000 for couples, instead of the “ridiculously low” $600 for individuals currently in the bill.

Trump also complained about money in the legislation for foreign countries, the Smithsonian Institution and fish breeding, among other spending.

“I’m also asking Congress to immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from this legislation, and to send me a suitable bill, or else the next administration will have to deliver a COVID relief package. And maybe that administration will be me,” he said.

If you do know what the Far Left Democrats and the Vichy Republicans actually think of average Americans,,,read how OUR money is allocated in the Covid-19 Stimulus Bill which the President just sent back…

Now, I know that some of y’all may be shocked that the same Republicans who said that they were riding on the Trump Train are now riding on the Pelosi Push Cart.

The thing is, boys and girls, this is why we sent Trump to Washington in the first place.

He is not a professional politician.

He is a Citizen Statesman…a successful businessman who owes allegiance to no one except Americans.

Pelosi, Schumer, and McConnell are birds of a feather. They all love the Washington Status Quo.

Trump can in and not only rocked the boat, he capsized it, making them all have to work for a living for a change.

And now that they think that he is on his way out, they are free to show their true colors, placing their special interest groups and “benefactors” before the average Americans who gave them their phony boloney jobs in the first place.

In stark contrast to the bunch of carpetbaggers up on Capitol Hill stands the 45th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump. who not only donated all of his salary as President to worthy causes, but also, even while fighting the greatest Election Fraud in American History, is fighting for average Americans.

While Trump has told us that America’s brightest days are ahead of us, Biden is telling Americans that our darkest days are ahead of us.

Judging from what is going on up on Capitol Hill, if Trump can not somehow nullify the Rigged Election, for the first time in his four decades in Washington, Sleepy Joe Biden will be exactly right.

Our darkest days WILL be ahead of us.

Thank you, Mr. President for fighting for US.

McConnell Warns that Dems Will Try “Every Conceivable Trick” to Keep Trump Nominee From Being Confirmed to the Supreme Court

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

FoxNews.com reports that

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Monday warned that Democrats will try “every conceivable dirty trick” to prevent a President Trump nominee from being confirmed to the Supreme Court before this year’s presidential election as a Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said that Republicans have “no right” to fill the vacancy created by the death of late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

“Already some of the same individuals who tried every conceivable dirty trick to obstruct Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh are lining up … to proclaim the third time will be the charm,” McConnell said in what amounted to the official opening salvo in the war over the vacant seat. “The American people are about to witness an astonishing parade of misrepresentations about the past, misstatements about the present and more threats against our institutions from the same people, the same people who already have been saying for months … they want to pack the court.”

He added: “Two years ago a radical movement tried to use unproven accusations to ruin a man’s life because they could not win a vote fair and square. Now they appear to be readying an even more appalling sequel.”

Schumer shot back in his own remarks: “The stakes of this election, the stakes of this vacancy, concern no less than the future of fundamental rights for the American people. … All the rights enshrined in our Constitution that are supposed to be protected by the Supreme Court of the United States. All the rights that could be undone or unwound by a conservative majority on the court.”

“If you care about these things and the kind of country we live in, this election and this vacancy mean everything,” Schumer said. “By every modicum of decency and honor, Leader McConnell and the Republican majority have no right to fill it.”

The fight to replace Ginsburg on the Supreme Court is likely to be one of the nastiest political skirmishes in recent American political history, and McConnell and Schumer on Monday aimed to set the tone for the months ahead.

The leaders each came out with statements within hours of Ginsburg’s passing — Schumer saying that whoever wins the presidential election in November should replace the late justice and McConnell swearing that a nominee from President Trump will get a floor vote in the Senate.

Schumer doubled down on his declaration over the weekend by declaring that “nothing is off the table” for a potential Democratic Senate majority in 2021 if Republicans force through a Trump nominee before the election or while he is a lame duck. And besides that hardline stance, Schumer also sought to appeal to the conscience of potential GOP swing senators by asking them to respect Ginsburg’s reported last wish that she be replaced by whoever wins the presidential election on Nov. 3.

“And we only need two more senators to say that they will abide by RBG’s wish, two have already said it,” Schumer said Sunday in front of the high school in Brooklyn where Ginsburg graduated. “We need two more. So Americans, if you care about all these rights, if you don’t want big, powerful, wealthy special interests to turn the clock back 100 years, even, please, our fervent plea, our fervent wish is that you call your senator and say abide by the wishes of this saintly, brilliant, caring woman and let it wait.”

Republicans in 2016 held open the seat of the late Justice Antonin Scalia for months before the presidential election, saying that the voters should have a say in who nominates the next justice. Democrats said that the Senate had a duty to at least hold hearings for the nominee, D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Merrick Garland.

Now, the roles are reversed, with Democrats saying the vacant seat should be held open until at least after the presidential election while Republicans bulldozing ahead. There are accusations of hypocrisy flying on both sides, with Democrats, in particular, saying Republicans should live by the precedent they set.

McConnell said that Republicans should proceed to fill vacant Supreme Court seats based on comments Schumer made himself in 2018.

“Ironically, it was the Democratic leader who went out of his way to declare the midterm 2018 elections a referendum on the Senate’s handling of the Supreme Court,” McConnell said. “In his final speech before Justice Kavanaugh was confirmed, he yelled, literally yelled, over and over at the American people to go vote … unfortunately for him, many Americans did just that. After watching the Democrats’ tactics voters grew our majority and retired four of our former colleagues who had gone along with their party’s behavior.”

The problem is, the Democrats have continued to travel to the left of the Political Spectrum at breakneck speed since 2018.

Now, the Far Left members of the Democratic Party are calling the shots and former “Moderates” like Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi, instead of calling on common sense to prevail, are following them in their quest to turn our Constitutional Republic into a Marxist Nation.

The Democrat Politicians remind me of a bunch of little children who have been caught engaging in bullying and other destructive behavior.

Even though their hypocrisy and hatred of America is so blatant that even Stevie Wonder could see it, when called on it they react like a kid caught standing next to the broken fragments of their Mother’s favorite vase.

When asked who did that, their reply is

“Not me.”

The Democrats, while acting holier than thou, expect Americans to forget their political bad behavior in the recent past and to agree with their assertions that President Trump does not have the Constitutional Right to name Justice Ginsburg’s replacement until after the 2020 Presidential Elections, when in fact he can name his nominee any time that pleases him to do so.

He is being a gentleman by waiting until after her funeral to name his choice to fill her seat on the highest court in the land.

Democrat Presidential Candidate Joe Biden refuses to name his list of candidates for Supreme Court Justices…at least until they get his teleprompter ready so that he knows their names.

Supposedly, the Dems believe that poor ol’ demented JOe is going to win the presidency and that is why they want Trump to wait.

Even if Biden does not win, the Dems are snot going to accept Trump’s victory.

They still have not accepted his 2016 Presidential Election victory.

If the Democrats had won enough seats in the Senate to become the majority in 2018, this would be a whole different discussion.

However, they did not.

And, to the victor…belong the spoils.

McConnell: Supreme Court Nominee to Fill Ginsburg’s Seat “Will Receive a Vote on the Floor of the United States Senate”

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

FoxNews.com reports that

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said unequivocally Friday night that President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee to fill the vacancy of late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg “will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”

Ginsburg, 87, died Friday from complications surrounding metastatic pancreas cancer.

“The Senate and the nation mourn the sudden passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the conclusion of her extraordinary American life,” McConnell said in a statement Friday.

“In the last midterm election before Justice Scalia’s death in 2016, Americans elected a Republican Senate majority because we pledged to check and balance the last days of a lame-duck president’s second term. We kept our promise,” McConnell continued. “Since the 1880s, no Senate has confirmed an opposite-party president’s Supreme Court nominee in a presidential election year.”

McConnell added that “by contrast, Americans reelected our majority in 2016 and expanded it in 2018 because we pledged to work with President Trump and support his agenda, particularly his outstanding appointments to the federal judiciary.”

“Once again, we will keep our promise,” he said. “President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”

In May 2019, McConnell, R-Ky., made clear that should a vacancy materialize in the midst of the 2020 election cycle, the GOP-majority Senate would likely “fill it.”

McConnell’s comments last year were met with criticism from Democrats who accused him of hypocrisy, based on the treatment of former President Barack Obamas Supreme Court nominee and D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals chief Judge Merrick Garland.

Obama nominated Garland to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who passed away in 2016, but McConnell and Senate Republicans refused to hold a hearing or vote on his nomination, citing the imminent 2016 presidential election.

Speaking to Fox News last year, McConnell suggested his stance was not hypocritical — because in 2020, Republicans would control both the White House and the Senate, unlike Democrats in 2016, who controlled only the White House.

“You have to go back to 1880s to find the last time a Senate controlled by a party different from the president filled a vacancy on the Supreme Court that was created in the middle of a presidential election year,” McConnell told Fox News.

But the nomination and confirmation process for the latest addition to the high court, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, took 89 days total for confirmation. It took 57 days from Kavanaugh’s nomination to his confirmation hearing.

There are 45 days until Election Day.

But Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Friday night said Ginsburg’s vacancy should not be filled until “we have a new president.”

“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court justice,” Schumer, D-N.Y., tweeted Friday. “Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”

Sorry, Chuckie.

Either way, it would still be Donald J. Trump choosing Justice Ginsburg’s successor.

Of course, the reason why it took 89 days to confirm Justice Kavanaugh was because of the partisan rancor and planned interference in Trump’s presidency by the Democrat Elite, including Chuck U. Schumer, himself.

Speaking of which, why is Schumer wanting to wait until after the 2020 Presidential Elections to replace Justice Ginsburg?

It’s simple.

With President Trump doing such an excellent job at filling spaces in the Judiciary with Conservative judges, the Democrats cannot afford to lose a Judge’s seat on the highest court in the land.

And, as far as the reason for the Democrat Hierarchy’s desperation, the 800 pound gorilla sitting on the sofa is the fact that their Presidential Candidate STINKS ON ICE.

Even as ideologically strident as the Far Left Democrats are, their sphincters must have slammed shut when they saw actual internal polling which no doubt showed that Americans are less than enamored of the losers whom they are presenting as their choice for the next President and Vice-President of the United States of America.

This year’s Democratic Candidates’ lack of likability make the Queen of Mean, Hillary Clinton,look like Mary Poppins.

Having said all that, look for the Democrats and their lackeys in the Main Stream Media to concoct Fake News Stories about Trump’s candidate for the vacancy and rehashing old ones about the President in their attempt to keep Trump from being reelected and appointing another Conservative Justice to the Supreme Court.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death will throw fuel on the fire that is the Far Left Democrats’ Trump Derangement Syndrome.

This is guaranteed to be an extremely ugly 45 days.

Instead of  “all the news that’s fit to print”…today’s Main Stream Media’s motto is

“If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with B.S.”

Unfortunately for them, average Americans aren’t baffled at all.

Trump Vows to Sign Coronovirus Stimulus Executive Orders to Help Americans “If Democrats Continue to Hold Relief Hostage”

FoxNews.com reports that

President Trump threatened to take coronavirus relief into his own hands “if Democrats continue to hold relief hostage.”

Trump said if coronavirus negotiations continued to stall, he would sign an executive order deferring the payroll tax until the end of the year, starting July 1 retroactively, and extend enhanced unemployment benefits.

He did not state how much those benefits would be — $600 per week was given in additional federal benefits under the last relief bill but Republicans have proposed cutting that to $200 per week.

The president also said his executive order would defer student loan payments and forgive interest “until further notice.”

Trump said lawyers were drawing up the executive order currently and “it could be by the end of the week” that he signs it. He said, “probably we get sued” but he isn’t worried about the legality because “everything gets sued.”

Trump earlier in the week first floated the idea of taking executive action to halt evictions and suspend payroll taxes. Trump has long pushed the idea that a payroll tax cut would spur hiring.

In July, the president said he told Republicans they could drop the idea of a cut to the payroll tax, the tax that finances Social Security and Medicare, from the next coronavirus relief bill because Democrats wouldn’t allow it.

“Based on that I told Republicans, I said I think a payroll tax would be good, but we’re not going to get it from Democrats. So you still need Democrat votes. I would like to see it but if we’re not going to get their votes, I guess we have to go on to the next thing,” he said.

Lawmakers ended a week of negotiations on coronavirus relief without a deal Friday, or even a clear path forward, amid growing concerns that talks may collapse altogether.

Both parties had a self-imposed Friday deadline. Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said Thursday that if they missed it, there’s “no sense” in continuing discussion.

“I’ve become extremely doubtful that we’ll be able to make a deal if it goes well beyond Friday,” said Meadows.

The impasse in negotiations puts at risk potentially trillions of dollars in aid for families, businesses and the U.S. economy, including a fresh round of $1,200 stimulus checks, extra unemployment aid for millions of unemployed Americans, $100 billion to help reopen schools and relief for cash-strapped state and local governments.

“A lot of people are going to be evicted, but I’m going to stop it because I’ll do it myself if I have to,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “I have a lot of powers with respect to executive orders, and we’re looking at that very seriously right now.”

The House passed its Heroes Act in May, a $3 trillion bill that included a clean extension of the $600 per week federal unemployment benefits, more money for state and local governments and expanded qualification for the stimulus checks, among other Democratic priorities.

The Senate revealed its own HEALS Act, a scaled-down, $1 trillion relief bill that included $200 per week in federal unemployment benefits and $105 billion for schools to assist in reopening.

Whether to extend the supplemental $600 a week in jobless aid has proven to be a key sticking point in negotiations. Democrats have split, some saying the $600 number is a nonstarter and some saying the number is negotiable. Republicans have said $600 is too high and disincentivizes returning to work, as many make more collecting unemployment than they did in wages.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Friday that Democrats were willing to compromise at $2 trillion for the fourth stimulus package, but that the Trump administration had rejected her offer.

Pelosi, D-Calif., said Friday that Democrats have been “mightily trying to find common ground.”

“We’ll take it down a trillion, if you add a trillion,” Pelosi said Friday. “They said absolutely not. Then we would be in range.”

It appears that the Democrats on Capitol Hill have learned nothing since the first contentious Coronavirus Stimulus Package was passed.

Among other “important matters” shoved in the last bill by Pelosi and the Dems was $35 million for the John F. Kennedy Performing Arts Center.

The Speaker of the House also got caught attempting to put abortion funding in the first Coronavirus Relief Bill.

It turned out that was just the tip of the iceberg.

How tone deaf are Pelosi and the Democrats?

Did they actually believe that average Americans who are still out of work because of the “invisible scourge”, as President Trump once called the Coronavirus, would see ANOTHER pork-laden bill designed to pay their special interest groups as being beneficial?

If so, then they are a bunch of idiots, just as Senator John Kennedyhas so accurately described them before.

There are average Americans out here in Realityville that still need help paying their bills and feeding their families while they are off work due to the Coronavirus.

That is why the President has been pushing so hard for a bill which will provide immediate relief to both those American who have been working through all of the pandemic and those who have not been able t work because of it.

What Pelosi and the Dems are proving once again is that they do not give a rat’s hindquarters about average Americans.

Their number one priority is filling their own bank accounts and the bank accounts of their “friends”, i.e., those special interest groups and companies which they have a financial interest in.

I guarantee you, if you look at the investors lists of those wind and solar energy companies who sprang up out of nowhere during the Obama Administration, you will see several Capitol Hill Democrats and/or their family members name listed.

It is amazing to me that after almost four years of trying and failing to remove Trump from office via impeachment and not passing anything of significance of behalf of average Americans, that the Democrats in the House of Representatives and the Senate remain oblivious to the wants and the needs of average Americans, the very voters whom they always erroneously claim to represent.

If they don’t cooperate with the Republicans and pass some actual relief for average Americans during this difficult and scary time, the President is well within his power to writing some Executive Orders to provide some much needed relief to American citizens.

And, if Pelosi and the Dems dig in their heels and refuse to work something out with the Republicans, I would not be surprised to see a march on Washington reminiscent of the scenes in the movies of the villagers chasing the Frankenstein Monster with torches and pitchforks.

As the tightening Presidential Election Polls are showing, he anti-American Far Left Democrats have “awakened a sleeping giant”, as Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto lamented following the attack on Pearl Harbor which started World War II.

If was the same anger which cost the Democrats the Presidency in 2016.

If they thought that we were angry then, they haven’t seen anything, yet.

Trump Talks to Hannity About Bolton, Seattle, Schumer, Pelosi, and Mueller in Free-Wheeling Interview Which Shows Why He Must Be Re-elected

FoxNews.com reports that

President Trump on Thursday blasted John Bolton ahead of the publication of his tell-all memoir “The Room Where It Happened,” calling his former national security adviser “crazy” and saying that “all he wants to do is bomb people.”

Speaking in an exclusive interview on Fox News’ “Hannity” airing Thursday at 9 p.m. ET, Trump digs into Bolton just days after the former national security adviser won a court battle allowing him to publish his memoir despite objections from the White House that it contained classified information.

“He didn’t do a good job,” Trump said of Bolton. “He wasn’t smart. He wasn’t sharp.”

Trump added: “He’s the only man I think I ever met — I knew him for a year — I don’t think I ever saw him smile once. I said to him, ‘John, do you ever smile?’ And it tells you something about somebody.’”

Bolton earlier this week defended his decision to write a tell-all about his time in the Trump administration and denied violating record-keeping laws by destroying his notes while in the White House.

Bolton, who gave an interview Tuesday on Fox News’ “Special Report with Bret Baier,” was just as critical of the president as Trump was of him when he compared him to presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

“The difference between [Joe] Biden and Trump is that Biden has a view, and Trump has no view,” Bolton said, tying Trump’s perceived erraticism to the coronavirus pandemic: “On any given day, any decision is possible. And I find that frightening. I find the response to the coronavirus demonstrates exactly the kind of fear that I have.”

Bolton continued, saying that “the response was herky-jerky, incoherent, sporadic and not as effective as it could have been.” He then warned that this “only gives a preview of what could happen in an even more severe crisis.”

Trump gave a wide-ranging interview on Hannity and touched on a number of topics — from the Russia Investigation and his Democratic rivals, to the semi-autonomous zone set up in downtown Seattle.

“If they don’t do something with Seattle, we’re going to do that — we’re going to go in there,” Trump told host Sean Hannity. “Because what’s happening, they’re taking over American cities.”

He also ripped into Democrat leaders on the Hill, saying: “We have [Charles] Schumer and [Nancy] Pelosi and people that are bad people that I honestly believe don’t love our country.  What they do to our country and what they’ve done with this scam, the whole scam — [Michae] Flynn is a piece of it. The Mueller scam.”

Continuing, Trump said: “Now it came out that Mueller should have announced in the first week that we did nothing wrong. They had evidence in the first few days that there was no collusion with Russia. There was nothing to do with Russia. They knew that immediately.”

And yet, they let that circus continue because it was never about PROVING that Trump colluded with the Russians. In actuality, the Democrats knew that it was all B.S.

It was all about getting the American public to BELIEVE that Trump did something wrong.

The betrayal of President Trump by John Bolton and all of this violent activity by Antifa and BLM representing the Far Left Democrats is the latest chapter of a National Liberal Temper Tantrum which began the night of November 8, 2016, when Republican Candidate Donald J. Trump beat Democratic Candidate Hillary Clinton for the job of President of the United States of America.

However, I feel that there is much more at state than just Far Left Ideologues hyperventilating and Liberals rioting for the sake of  “equality”.

Gentle readers, we are in a civil war for the very soul of our Sovereign Nation.

Please notice that one of the leaders of Black Lives Matter admitted in a recent interview that they were “trained Marxists”, “New Bolsheviks”, if you will.

As was the case in the Russian Revolution, any “Democratic Socialist” nation we see around our Modern World, went through a course-altering revolution, whether through a violent overthrow of the Government or through a “radical change” in the political ideology of their nation and the way that their populace voted in the subsequent election.

I firmly believe that the mission of Billionaire Financier George Soros and all of the Far Left Organizations and Democratic Party Politicians whom he supports, is what his political puppet, Former (Thank God) President Barack Hussein Obama, said that his was during his first presidential campaign: to “radically change” our nation into something that every patriotic American will no longer recognize.

America’s Alt-Left, which President Trump identified by name during the 2017 “Press Conference which shall forever be known as the “Trump Tower Thrashing” is a fringe group of radicalized young people, who grew up during the Obama Administration being programmed by “Organizing for America”, Liberal College Professors, and a pop culture which told them that to love America and to respect her history and those who had gone before them, was “jingoistic”.

They were told that it was evil to try to be better than others….to achieve and make their own way.

They were told that everyone “should be equal” and those who do achieve should “share the wealth”.

This programming led these young minds full of mush to become the “useful idiots” (as Communists used to call their dupes in the Cold War) whom we have been watching on television as they attack and attempting to erase monuments to America’s History, our Constitutional method of deciding our leaders, and our duly elected President.

Now, with the push to take away historical monuments, names of historic figures from buildings, and to do away with our National Anthem, average Americans are watching our Sovereign Nation under siege as George Soros’ covert and overt support of perpetually-grieved protesters, paid to stage organized demonstrations which morph into riots, and the “Alt” or Far-Left, through funding by Soros, Communist Organizations, and other sources, is bring our own version of the Russian Revolution to 2020 America, complete with our own version of Lenin’s Bolsheviks.

That is why the re-election of Donald J. Trump to the Presidency is so very important.

Trump was elected to put the brakes on this “New Revolution” purposefully designed to “radically change” America into just another “Democratic Socialist Nation”.

Thanks to everything which he has had to deal with in his first term, including continuous plots against him by the Democrats and their Vichy Republican allies, and a National Pandemic, Trump has seen all of the great things which he had accomplished in his first term be damaged and delayed.

If Americans re-elect Trump, I truly believe that he will do everything in his power to continue what he began in his first term.

We must re-elect Trump in order to stop George Soros and these “New Bolsheviks”, before history repeats itself on this side of the Atlantic, over 100 years later.

America’s survival as a free nation depends on it.

Pelosi, Schumer, and Other Dems Kneel for “George Floyd” for 8 Minutes While Wearing African Scarves to Pander for Black Votes

TheHill.com reports that

Senior Democratic lawmakers, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer knelt during a moment of silence shortly before unveiling a legislative package of police reforms Monday.

About two dozen lawmakers knelt for eight minutes and 46 seconds as a tribute to George Floyd, the unarmed African American man who died after a now-former Minneapolis police officer pinned his knee on Floyd’s neck during an arrest for that length of time.

Lawmakers, wearing African kente cloth scarves, knelt in the Capitol Visitor Center before holding a press conference to unveil their legislation in response to almost two weeks of nationwide protests over police brutality toward African Americans.

“We are here to honor George Floyd,” Pelosi said before the moment of silence began.

After almost nine minutes, Pelosi and the other lawmakers stood back up, though the Speaker needed the help of an aide due to her tall stilettos.

“You see how long it was to have that knee on his neck,” Pelosi said afterward.

Senate Democrats held a similar moment of silence last week.

“To every one of us, it was excruciating. It seemed an unbearably long amount of time. It felt so painful to get even an inkling of how this man and so many black Americans have suffered for so long,” Schumer said before Monday’s moment of silence.

Democrats’ sweeping legislative package includes several proposals from members of the Congressional Black Caucus, including a ban on the use of chokeholds and establishing a national database to track police misconduct.

Uh huh.

What The Hill is not telling you is that Pelosi, Schumer, and company were excoriated all day long yesterday from their over-the-top pandering for the sake of attempting to secure black American votes.

Those critics were wasting their time.

The word “shame” does not exist in their vocabulary.

The words “money” and “power” definitely do.

Their oblivious nature is evident by the African ceremonial scarves that they wore around their neck.

They are no more African than they are honest.

And, they have no idea about what is going on in distressed black communities because they all live in mansions in gated communities.

Now that we are months away from the 2020 Presidential Election, the Democrats’ Desperation has spun out-of-control because they have realized that nothing that they have thrown at Trump to damage him has worked.

Presently, neither riots nor Democrat-weighted push polls designed to discourage voters from casting their ballot for Trump on November 3rd are working.

And, on top of all they have tried, including mass hysteria over the Chinese Coronavirus, America’s Economy is beginning to comeback, exceeding all predictions.

Quite frankly, the Democrat Elite remain safe and secure in their own bubble, purposely oblivious to the day-to-day struggles of those of us average Americans who Hillary Clinton referred to as “Deplorables”.

Meanwhile, President Trump announced that he is going to resume his MAGA allies in a couple of weeks.

After all, if Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and the other “protesters” can gather together without social distancing and not get sick with the coronavirus, then average Americans should be able to gather together in the same manner and have a great time with our President.

For my final thought today, I am going to let Georgia State Trooper O’Neal Saddler speak for me.
