FoxNews.com reports that

President Trump rallied supporters in Tupelo, Miss. Friday night in a bid to shore up Republican support ahead of the state’s tightest gubernatorial race in nearly a generation.

Trump attacked former vice president and 2020 candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden over their Ukrainian business dealings, accusing the media– specifically CNN’s Anderson Cooper and Chris Cuomo, who again Trump referred to as “Fredo”– of covering up potential Biden corruption.

“The press protects him,” said the president, who also called Biden “one percent Joe.”

Trump also slammed the Democratic-led impeachment inquiry, calling it a “preposterous hoax” one day after the House voted to formalize the rules of their impeachment process, and accused Democrats of trying to “delegitimatize” the 2016 presidential election.

House committees have held nearly a dozen closed-door depositions from witnesses regarding their knowledge of a July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. An anonymous intelligence community whistleblower has led allegations, that Trump sought to persuade Zelensky to open an investigation into Joe Biden, his son Hunter and their business dealings in Ukraine in exchange for military aid to the Eastern European nation.

“Do you think I would say something improper when I know there are so many people listening?” Trump said.

The president also mocked former Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke, who announced hours earlier that he was withdrawing from the 2020 presidential race, as a “poor bastard” and a “poor pathetic guy” who “made a total fool of himself” in the race to the White House.

“Hopefully, we won’t be hearing about him for a long time,” Trump added.

Trump also decried Hillary Clinton’s recent comments in which the former secretary of state alluded to the possibility that Russians have “got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate,” a reference to Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii.

Trump said, “I don’t know who Tulsi Gabbard is but I know one thing, she’s not an agent for Russia.”

Clinton made similar comments about 2016 Green Party candidate Jill Stein, to which Trump responded: “I don’t know Jill Stein … I know she’s not an agent of Russia.”

The president opened his remarks at Bancorp South Arena by celebrating the U.S. military raid that led to the death of Islamic State (ISIS) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, saying it had “ended his wretched life and punched out his ticket to hell.”

“We have a great military. It was very very depleted when I came into office….but it ain’t depleted anymore,” said Trump, who called Baghdadi “a savage and soulless monster but his reign of terror is over.”

Trump lamented the media’s coverage of the military’s most recent feat, saying that if former President Barack Obama had killed the leader of ISIS, the media would have the story “going on for another seven months.”

“Conan the dog got more publicity than me and I’m very happy about it,” Trump said of the heroic military dog who was injured while pursuing Baghdadi through a tunnel underneath a compound in northwestern Syria.

“While we’re creating jobs and killing terrorists, the Democrat Party has gone completely insane,” Trump said.

Hundreds of people had waited to see Trump at the rally to support Republican Tate Reeves, who is finishing his second term as lieutenant governor after previously serving two terms as the elected state treasurer.

Reeves briefly joined Trump on stage and accused the “radical liberals” of “disrespecting” Trump by pursuing impeachment against him and urged the crowd to elect “an ally to Donald J. Trump.”

“He’ll never let you down,” Trump said of Reeves. “And don’t kid yourself, your Second Amendment is under attack.”

Reeves has spent $10.8 million in the race to succeed term-limited Gov. Phil Bryant, while his Democratic opponent, state attorney general Jim Hood, has spent $5.2 million. Both are receiving financial support from national governors’ groups in their parties.

Reeves has sought to tie Hood as closely as possible to national Democrats, such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who are deeply unpopular in a state that voted heavily for Trump in the last presidential election.

Hood has not invited national Democratic figures to Mississippi and is running campaign commercials that show him with his family, his pickup truck and his hunting dog, Buck. In one, Hood unpacks a rifle and says that “Tate Reeves and his out-of-state corporate masters” are spending money on a “bunch of lies.”

“You all know me. I’ve worked for you for years. I do my job and I’m a straight shooter,” Hood says. The spot ends with Hood shooting the gun and shattering a bottle.

Hood is also running radio ads designed to appeal to African American voters — including one with an endorsement from former U.S. Rep. Mike Espy, who ran a strong but ultimately unsuccessful race for U.S. Senate in Mississippi last year, and another that mentions Hood leading the successful 2005 prosecution of Ku Klux Klan leader Edgar Ray Killen in the 1964 murder of three civil rights workers.

The outreach reflects the importance of black voters to any possible Hood victory. African Americans make up 38 percent of the state’s population, but some say they’re irritated by Hood’s emphasis on courting rural white voters.

As someone who lives right across the state line from my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee in the Northwest corner of Mississippi, I believe that I can add a little bit of insight into State Attorney General Hood’s campaign strategy.

You see, he desperately does not wish to be identified with the Far left Democrats up in Washington, even though he secretly shares their political ideology and beliefs.

Hood, for whatever reason, thinks that those whom he wishes to govern are not smart enough to realize that he himself is a democrat who will follow lockstep behind his party’s leadership and will follow their orders lest he fall out of favor with the “money boys”.

Just like Pelosi and the House Democrats, Hood wants Mississippians to believe that he is someone whom he is not.

Watching House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appear on the show of the unfunny Liberal Stephen Colbert, she was pandering to the New York City Liberal Audience by telling them that the Soviet-style Secret Meetings designed to take away the votes of Americans who put President Trump in office are “for the children”….instead of the Dems’ own arrogant lust for the power of the Presidency.

Last night, President Trump told my fellow Mississippians that, to paraphrase, “The more miserable Americans are, the happier the Democrats are”.

He nailed that one.

Within this past week, the world’s leading terrorist and his chosen successor were eliminated as threats to America. And, as reported yesterday, October’s job numbers are fantastic and, under Trump, America’s Economy is BOOMING!

Who in the name of Dow Jones and all his little averages would even consider impeaching a President who has more than met all of his Campaign Promises, including making America stronger?

The Far Left Democratic Party, that’s who.

Just like Mississippi Gubernatorial Candidate Jim Hood, the Democrats on Capitol Hill want you to believe who they say that they are and what they are doing and to believe what they tell you to believe, instead of what you are seeing with your own two eyes and what that Still Small Voice inside you is telling you is actually going on.

Additionally, because the Democratic Presidential Candidates are a bunch of lightweights, the Democratic Elite have to lie as to who and what they are.

And, because President Trump has done such an outstanding job for the last three years, the Democrats have to make up something that did not happen in order to try to Impeach him.

And finally, because those whom he will answer to in Washington, DC are a bunch of do-nothing liars, Mississippi’s Jim Hood has to pretend to be a Conservative good ol’ boy, instead of a Democrat.

Are you beginning to see a pattern, boys and girls?

Trump Announces That He is Leaving New York City for Palm Beach…After Leaving the White House…in Five Years

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

trump-looking-out-window-oval-office

Last night, the 45th President of the United States of America, after another long day of being attacked by the sore losers of the Democratic Party, announced the following decision on Twitter.

The President is not the first wealthy person to leave the Liberal State of New York and Far Left Liberal New York City due to the high tax rate and the downright hatred of Conservatives.

The Godfather of Conservative Talk Radio, Rush Limbaugh, got the heck out of there years ago, he himself also moving to the Palm Beach, Florida Area, building a beautiful home and radio studio complex in West Palm Beach.

Ever since Trump announced that he was seeking to be the Republican Nominee as their Presidential Candidate, the Liberal Hoi Polloi, the New York City Media, and the New Bolsheviks as well, began treating the man who had done so much for the city of New York, like people in the time of Christ treated Lepers.

“Unclean! Unclean!”

Just as Americans are witnessing daily regarding the Soviet-Style secret meetings being held by Rep. Adam Schiff and the House Democrats in their desperation to find something, ANYTHING, that will give them cause to formally Impeach President Trump, so are Americans living in the Heartland struck dumbfounded by the mindless obsessive hatred and self-righteous arrogance being shown by the opposition party politicians and their fellow travelers toward this American President who has accomplished more in 3 years than any president since Ronald Reagan.

It’s one thing not to like losing, I know that I never have.

However, to wish doom, death, and personal destruction on a man who has put more money in your pocket and provided more job opportunities to your family, while making Americans safer, makes about as much sense as setting your hair on fire and putting it out with a hammer.

I guess Liberal Democrats became used to bullying a President when “Dubya” was in office.

Trump will not be bullied or cowed.

I, for one, do not blame the President for leaving the nest of vipers that has grown exponentially all the way from Albany to a city that has affectionately been known in the past as “The Big Apple”.

I mean, once worms burrow their way into an apple, it becomes too rotten to stomach, doesn’t it?

Report: Schiff’s “Whistleblower” is an Obama Administration Holdover and Registered Dem Who Works in CIA HQ

Paul Sperry reports on RealClearInvestigations.com that

For a town that leaks like a sieve, Washington has done an astonishingly effective job keeping from the American public the name of the anonymous “whistleblower” who triggered impeachment proceedings against President Trump — even though his identity is an open secret inside the Beltway.

More than two months after the official filed his complaint, pretty much all that’s known publicly about him is that he is a CIA analyst who at one point was detailed to the White House and is now back working at the CIA.

But the name of a government official fitting that description — Eric Ciaramella — has been raised privately in impeachment depositions, according to officials with direct knowledge of the proceedings, as well as in at least one open hearing held by a House committee not involved in the impeachment inquiry. Fearing their anonymous  witness could be exposed, Democrats this week blocked Republicans from asking more questions about him and intend to redact his name from all deposition transcripts.

RealClearInvestigations is disclosing the name because of the public’s interest in learning details of an effort to remove a sitting president from office. Further, the official’s status as a “whistleblower” is complicated by his being a hearsay reporter of accusations against the president, one who has “some indicia of an arguable political bias … in favor of a rival political candidate” — as the Intelligence Community Inspector General phrased it circumspectly in originally fielding his complaint.

Federal documents reveal that the 33-year-old Ciaramella, a registered Democrat held over from the Obama White House, previously worked with former Vice President Joe Biden and former CIA Director John Brennan, a vocal critic of Trump who helped initiate the Russia “collusion” investigation of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.

Further, Ciaramella (pronounced char-a-MEL-ah) left his National Security Council posting in the White House’s West Wing in mid-2017 amid concerns about negative leaks to the media. He has since returned to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.

“He was accused of working against Trump and leaking against Trump,” said a former NSC official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters.

Also, Ciaramella huddled for “guidance” with the staff of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, including former colleagues also held over from the Obama era whom Schiff’s office had recently recruited from the NSC. (Schiff is the lead prosecutor in the impeachment inquiry.)

And Ciaramella worked with a Democratic National Committee operative who dug up dirt on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, inviting her into the White House for meetings, former White House colleagues said. The operative, Alexandra Chalupa, a Ukrainian-American who supported Hillary Clinton, led an effort to link the Republican campaign to the Russian government. “He knows her. He had her in the White House,” said one former co-worker, who requested anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter.

Documents confirm the DNC opposition researcher attended at least one White House meeting with Ciaramella in November 2015.  She visited the White House with a number of Ukrainian officials lobbying the Obama administration for aid for Ukraine.

With Ciaramella’s name long under wraps, interest in the intelligence analyst has become so high that a handful of former colleagues have compiled a roughly 40-page research dossier on him. A classified version of the document is circulating on Capitol Hill, and briefings have been conducted based on it. One briefed Republican has been planning to unmask the whistleblower in a speech on the House floor.

On the Internet, meanwhile, Ciaramella’s name for weeks has been bandied about on Twitter feeds and intelligence blogs as the suspected person who blew the whistle on the president. The mainstream media are also aware of his name.

Okay, We have a name.

If Eric Ciaramella is the whistleblower, what should happen next?

A speech on the House Floor, as Mr. Sperry reports that one Republican is planning?

How about Sen. Lindsey Graham issuing a subpoena for him to appear before the House Judiciary Committee?

That would be very interesting.

Take a moment to look at all of the Deep State Connections which Ciaramella has.

It is as  if he is the eye in the center of a hurricane.

He has had a ringside seat for every nefarious act of sedition which the Deep State Covert Intelligence Operatives have attempted against President Trump.

And, what is amazing is, he is still employed at CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia where, if he is truly the “whistleblower”, i.e. , Deep State Operative, he can continue to dame the Presidency of Donald J. Trump.

It would not surprise me, if Mr. Sperry’s reporting is accurate, and he has a very good track record, so it probably is, if Mr. Ciaramella gents indicted by the Grand Jury that Mr. Dunham will be seating soon.

And, while I am wish-casting, if Former CIA Director Brennen gets indicted as well, I wonder which one would be the first to turn on the other?

Things are definitely getting interesting regarding SpyGate and the Silent Coup.

No wonder Pelosi, Schiff, and company are trying to keep the 24/7 News Cycle Spotlight on their “Impeachment Inquiry”.

Schiff Coaches Witness Not to Answer Questions From Republican House Members…Welcome to the New USSR

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

90 (8)

“You know, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution guarantees us due process. This president has been denied due process…. Neither the Democrats in 1973 nor the Republicans in 1998 did anything as one-sided, as secretive and destructive as what Pelosi and Schiff have done.” – Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich

FoxNews.com reports that

House Republican leaders, in a fiery news conference Tuesday, said House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., prevented a witness in the latest impeachment hearing from answering certain questions from Republican members.

Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., and Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told reporters that Schiff shut down a Republican line of questioning during a hearing with Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the latest current or former Trump administration official to come before Congress in relation to the impeachment probe.

“When we asked [Vindman] who he spoke to after important events in July — Adam Schiff says, ‘no, no, no, we’re not going to let him answer that question,”‘ Jordan said.

Jordan went on to say that Schiff seemed to be breaking his own rules for the hearings, implying the chairman was acting almost as a “lawyer” for Vindman.

Vindman, who serves as a director on the National Security Council (NSC), arrived Tuesday morning to testify before the House Intelligence, Oversight, and Foreign Affairs committees. He expressed concern in his prepared opening statement, obtained by Fox News, over Trump’s request to have Ukraine investigate political opponents.

It also states that he does not know who the whistleblower is whose complaint spurred the beginning of the Democrats’ current impeachment inquiry and does not feel comfortable speculating about the whistleblower’s identity. The inquiry was opened after a whistleblower complaint alleged that Trump, during the July phone call, pushed Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter as military aid to the country was being withheld.

“The Democrats run out here and say, ‘ooh, the Republicans are trying to figure out who the whistleblower is,'” Jordan continued. “We’re trying to figure out who our witness list is! The resolution that the Speaker has just filed … she points this out in the resolution that this is going to go to the Judiciary Committee if in fact they push it there. There will be witnesses called. We would like to figure out who those witnesses should be.”

“I pointed out last week there 435 members of Congress … only one of them knows who the whistleblower is, more importantly, who the sources are for the whistleblower who were the basis of him filing this complaint. Now he doesn’t want anyone else to know that,” Jordan said.

Scalise then proceeded to attack the impeachment proceedings in general, using the latest GOP procedural complaint in a further attempt to discredit the Democrats’ impeachment push.

“It’s clear Pelosi needs to declare a mistrial,” Scalise said. “This has been a tainted process from the start. What happened today confirms even worse just how poorly Adam Schiff is handling this process, denying the ability for Republicans to even ask basic questions that are critical to the heart of whether or not a President of the United States is impeached.”

Well, boys and girls, there it is.

If any of you had any doubts that this was nothing but a Soviet-style tribunal with sentencing to a Siberian Gulag to follow, you should not have those doubts anymore.

For Shifty Adam Schiff to be blatantly coaching witnesses and not allow Republicans to ask question of them is as far away from the way that our Founding Fathers intended for our government to operate as the East is from the West.

I can almost understand why some Conservative Americans out there may be seeing visions of gloom and doom running through their heads.

However, now is not the time for weakness.

Now, more than ever, we need to support the President which we, the average Americans between the coasts, or “the Deplorables” as the Queen of Mean Hillary Clinton arrogantly named us, voted into office as the 45th President of the United States of America.

According to Breitbart.com,

The New York Times Upshot/Siena College Poll of voters in six key battleground states–all won by Trump in 2016–shows impeachment and removal from office is unpopular in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida, North Carolina, and Arizona, as well as Wisconsin. By a ten point margin, 53 percent to 43 percent, voters in these six states oppose the impeachment and removal from office of the president.

Can you imagine what the margin is in the “Red States” in “Flyover Country”?

Pelosi and the rest of the Democratic Hierarchy get the polls.

Pelosi will not call the vote to formally impeach President Trump.

She may not even follow through on the vote Thursday. There were accounts yesterday of her walking it back.

She has nothing up her sleeve, as some pundits suggest that she may have.

Heck, she barely has anything left between the ears except for an insatiable thirst for political power.

She will not sacrifice those Democratic House members who live in Red States…not for Adam Schiff or the Squad.

And, even if all of the Dems in the House are stupid enough to vote for a formal Impeachment, Senator Mitch McConnell will not give up his entire political career simply to appease the Democrats.

Nobody of a sane mind would want that kind of legacy.

At this point, the only ones who remain gung ho about continuing the Soviet-style Tribunal in the House are Schiff and the Far Left House Dems who live in a bubble like the 6% of Americans who are Far Left Twitter Trolls living in their Moms’ Basements, eating Cheetos and trolling Trump’s Tweets because it makes them feel as if they are actually accomplishing something.

Come to think about it…

I may have just been describing the same people.

Pelosi Announces House Vote This Thursday “Affirming the Ongoing, Existing” [Secret] “Investigation”…Why Now?

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

https://twitter.com/dbongino/status/1188972403831033856

FoxNews.com reports that

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday the House will vote this week on a resolution to formalize — and establish the parameters — of the Trump impeachment inquiry.

In a letter sent to Democratic House lawmakers, Pelosi, D-Calif., said the resolution “affirms the ongoing, existing investigation” and “establishes the procedure” for future investigative steps.

“We are taking this step to eliminate any doubt as to whether the Trump administration may withhold documents, prevent witness testimony, disregard duly authorized subpoenas, or continue obstructing the House of Representatives,” Pelosi said.

Fox News has learned the vote will take place Thursday on the House floor.

It is not an actual article of impeachment, but rather a resolution that sets process ground rules.

Republicans hit back Monday at Pelosi over the planned vote, with South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham — the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which would play a role in a Senate impeachment trial — saying, “A vote now is a bit like un-ringing a bell as House Democrats have selectively leaked information in order to damage President Trump for weeks.”

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., told Fox News: “What it authorizes is that we were right. You can’t go back now.”

The White House argued Monday that the move proves Democrats have been conducting an “unauthorized” inquiry.

“We won’t be able to comment fully until we see the actual text, but Speaker Pelosi is finally admitting what the rest of America already knew – that Democrats were conducting an unauthorized impeachment proceeding, refusing to give the President due process, and their secret, shady, closed-door depositions are completely and irreversibly illegitimate,” White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement.

Republicans for weeks have called for a formal House vote, challenging the legitimacy of the current framework for impeachment proceedings in the absence of one. Earlier this month, the White House wrote a defiant eight-page letter to Pelosi and top Democrats saying it would not cooperate with the impeachment inquiry.

“I take pride in the fact that our vigorous response to their underhanded tactics ended up making the House Democrat position untenable,” Graham said Monday. “Today, they were forced to change course.”

Pelosi made clear in her letter that the vote is being conducted because of the Republican complaints. She accused Trump and his GOP allies of holding the position that “because the House has not taken a vote, they may simply pretend the impeachment inquiry does not exist.”

Even as she announced a formal vote, Pelosi insisted Monday that this argument “has no merit.”

“This resolution establishes the procedure for hearings that are open to the American people, authorizes the disclosure of deposition transcripts, outlines procedures to transfer evidence to the Judiciary Committee as it considers potential articles of impeachment, and sets forth due process rights for the president and his counsel,” she said.

Everybody was wondering what the Democrats were going to do to take the 24/7 News Cycle Spotlight away from President Trump after his brilliant strategy of a staged withdrawal in Syria led to the elimination of the leader of ISIS.

Now, we know.

Pelosi is, to paraphrase the Eagles, “a prisoner of her own device”.

I am certain that she has read Democratic Internal Polling which shows that the overwhelming majority of Americans are fed up with the Dems’ Soviet-style secret meetings, which they euphemistically have referred to as an “Impeachment Inquiry”.

At the same time, the Far Left Democrats are continuing to demand President Trump’s Impeachment for daring to beat Clinton in the 2016 Presidential Election and actually succeed in keeping his Campaign Promises, making them look like the out-of-touch anti-America losers they are.

This upcoming vote on Thursday is her way of trying to appease all of the House Dems in order to keep her position as Speaker of the House.

I guarantee you, boys and girls, there will be nothing fair and equitable proposed by the House Democrats in the vote to make their “Impeachment Inquiry” a public spectacle.

They know that if they allow the House Republicans to subpoena and call witnesses and to ask questions of theirs that the process will confirm what the majority of Americans already know: that president trump has done nothing impeachable.

Of course, there is another reason why the Democrats are now shoveling their B.S. with both hands.

The results of the investigations by Inspector General Horowitz, Attorney General William Barr, and John Dunham will all be released soon.

And, if you do not believe that the Dems are scared spitless about the possible results of those investigations, then you probably have the IQ and moral turpitude of Now-Former Rep. Katie Hill.

The Democrats desperately believe that they HAVE to somehow damage Trump in the next few months to even have a chance to win back the Presidency in 2020.

Their Primary Candidates are nothing but a bunch of lightweights touting Marxist political ideas which have failed everywhere they have been tried.

What we average Americans will witness in the following days and months is the implosion of the Democratic Party, victims of their own post-election temper tantrum which became known as Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Get your popcorn ready.

Dem Elite and NeverTrumpers Wake Up to the Smell of Eggs on Sunday Morning… All Over Their Faces…WINNING!

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

https://twitter.com/dbongino/status/1188450137351360512

FoxNews.com reports that

President Trump’s successful operation to take out Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi sent Democrats scrambling on Sunday, as several top party leaders had complained publicly in recent days that the White House had no “real plan” to combat the terror group following the U.S. pullout in Syria.

In a dramatic sign of how Democrats’ messaging apparently backfired, NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” ran an ill-timed sketch suggesting that Trump had created “jobs” for ISIS — just hours before the president held a news conference announcing al-Baghdadi’s demise. The sketch aired around the time the two-hour late-night raid in northwest Syria was underway.

“It’s genuinely fascinating watching Democrats in real-time struggle to figure out what to say about this,” journalist Glenn Greenwald wrote on Sunday. “They want to be patriotic and anti-ISIS, but also need a way to malign Trump without contradicting their gushing Obama praise over [Usama bin Laden]: not an easy balancing act. Good luck!”

Through the day, the Democrats — including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Foreign Relations Committee ranking member Bob Menendez and former Vice President Joe Biden — seemingly settled on a new strategy. They praised the troops who executed the historic raid, while pointedly avoiding complimenting the president in any way.

Congressional Democrats also lamented that they were not informed in advance of the operation, while the Russian military was told so that their airspace could be used. The president suggested Sunday that Democrats in Congress, who have been conducting an impeachment inquiry against him that has been fraught with leaked information to the media, were not notified before the raid because of concerns they might compromise the operation with leaks.

“I congratulate our special forces, our intelligence community, and all our brave military professionals on delivering justice to the terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi,” Biden, one of the many Democrats seeking to unseat Trump in 2020, said. He went on to call on Trump to “keep up the pressure to prevent ISIS from ever regrouping or again threatening the United States.”

Pelosi, meanwhile, praised the “heroism, dedication and skill of our military and our intelligence professionals and acknowledge the work of our partners in the region,” then condemned Trump’s “green-lighting of Turkish aggression into Syria against our Kurdish partners.”

However, in May 2011, when President Obama announced Usama bin Laden’s death, Pelosi, D-Calif., was much less reluctant to praise the commander-in-chief.

“I salute President Obama, his national security team, Director Panetta, our men and women in the intelligence community and military, and other nations who supported this effort for their leadership in achieving this major accomplishment,” Pelosi said at the time.

Some commentators also noted that The Washington Post also had applied a different standard on Sunday than it did when bin Laden was killed. “Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State, dies at 48,” read a head-turning, since-changed headline in the Post.

The sympathetic obituary described the terror leader as “a shy, nearsighted youth who liked soccer but preferred to spend his free time at the local mosque” and noted that “despite the group’s extremist views and vicious tactics, Mr. Baghdadi maintained a canny pragmatism as leader.”

But in 2011, the Post’s headline announcing bin Laden’s death flatly called him the leader of a “terrorist group.”

In her statement Sunday, Pelosi further demanded that the “House must be briefed on this raid, which the Russians but not top congressional leadership were notified of in advance, and on the administration’s overall strategy in the region.”

In what can only be described as brilliant strategy and leadership by a Commander-in-Chief, the 45th President of the United States of America, in an amazing bit of sleight-of-hand, made the entire world believe that he was abandoning Syria to the Islamic barbarians known as ISIS.

And, once again, while all of his and America’s enemies believed that they have all of the answers, President Donald J. Trump changed the questions.

And, stole the spotlight of the 24-hour News Cycle away from the Democrat Elite…again.

The President was exactly right when he gave his explanation of why he left Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats out of the loop as to the nature and timing of the military strike.

Years ago, I would not have believed that I would have been writing this, but I firmly believe that there are those in the Democratic Party Leadership who would have found a way to contact ISIS in order to tip them off in order to damage and embarrass President Trump.

House Dems such as Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, etc., are so eaten up with Trump Derangement Syndrome and their all- consuming thirst to regain the power of the Presidency that aiding a sworn enemy of our country, the murderous Radical Islamists of ISIS, would not have bothered them at all. Not one little bit.

And, for them to oppose Trump’s secrecy is the height of hypocrisy, considering that they are attempting to impeach him behind closed doors in an ultra-secure room.

However, the House Democrats are not the only ones with egg on their faces.

The Far Left actors and “comedians” of Saturday Live, including the boorish idiot, Alec Baldwin, looked awfully stupid for their skit about President Trump’s “benevolence” toward ISIS.

But, then again, SNL has been unwatchable since the days of Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo.

I have a couple of last thoughts I would like to share with the Democratic Party, the House Dems, the Hollywood Libs, and the rest of the NeverTrumpers:

Speaker Pelosi, if you and your fellow travelers want respect from the President, perhaps you should have respected him

Underestimating the President cost you the Presidency.

And, that same arrogant attitude is about to make history repeat itself.

New Book Reveals Trump has Watched Christian Television and Evangelical Preachers Since the 1980s

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, Politics1 Comment

flag-and-cross

May our Nation and our people never forget the love, grace, and goodness of our Maker, and may our praise and gratitude never cease. – President Donald J. Trump, National Day of Prayer Proclamation, May 3, 2018

CNSNews.com reports that

In best selling author Doug Wead’s forthcoming book, Inside Trump’s White House: The Real Story of His Presidency, it is revealed that President Donald Trump has been a devoted viewer of Christian television, and evangelical preachers, since the 1980s.

President Trump’s good friend Paula White told Wead, “He had watched hours of Christian television [since the 1980s]. And not just watched it, but really listened to the messages. He had retained what he had heard. He could bring it back and repeat it to me. He would say what it meant to him.”

“Trump had watched the Billy Graham telecasts as a boy and had later watched Jimmy Swaggart in the 1980’s,” states Wead in the book. “But he especially loved the positive preacher, Norman Vincent Peale. Trump found televangelist Paula White while channel surfing on a Sunday morning in Trump Tower.”

“Political writers were always puzzled by his connection to evangelical supporters but it had actually begun early,” said Wead.

Donald Trump reportedly was puzzled by some of the evangelical preachers who would cry on television.

“Trump couldn’t understand why evangelical Christians cried so much,” said Wead. “’What’s that all about?’ he asked his friend, Pastor Paula White. He was puzzled by Jimmy Swaggart’s weepy, public, confession back in the 1980’s.”

Inside Trump’s White House: The Real Story of His Presidency will be released on Nov. 26, 2019. It is available for pre-order on Amazon.com.

According to the page on Amazon.com, Inside Trump’s White House offers a sweeping, eloquent history of President Donald J. Trump’s first years in office, covering everything from election night to the news of today. The book will include never-before-reported stories and scoops, including how President Trump turned around the American economy, how he ‘never complains and never explains,’ and how his actions sometimes lead to misunderstandings with the media and the public.

“It also includes exclusive interviews with the Trump family about the Mueller report, and narrates their reactions when the report was finally released.”

The book also “contains interviews with the president in the Oval Office, chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, Jared and Ivanka Kushner, Donald Trump, Jr., Eric and Lara Trump, and White House insiders,” states the webpage.

Doug Wead is a New York Times best selling author who has written more than 30 books, including Reagan in Pursuit of the Presidency, All the Presidents’ Children: Triumph and Tragedy in the Lives of the First Families, and Game of Thorns: The Inside Story of Hillary Clinton’s Failed Campaign and Donald Trump’s Winning Strategy.

Another story found at The Christian Post in 2018 shows that President Trump understands more about the God of Abraham that Liberals want to believe that he does.s.

In an interview with CBN News shortly after Trump held a celebration for the National Day of Prayer in the Rose Garden, Pence said the president has encouraged praying in the White House by personally promoting the practice himself.

“There’s prayer going on on a regular basis in this White House. And it’s one of the most meaningful things to me, whether it’s public meetings or not, I’ve lost count of the number of times that the president has nudged me, or nudged another member of the Cabinet and said, ‘Let’s start this meeting with prayer,'” Pence said.

That loud thunderclap that you just heard was the sound of Internet Trolls’ and NeverTrumpers’ sphincters all slamming shut in unison across the country over this post.

With the House Dems Impeachment Probe becoming more and more ineffective and downright annoying with each passing day and possible indictments for members of the Obama Administration on the horizon, Liberals’ continue to wonder why the President’s Job Approval Polls are not dropping and why Americans are not buying what the Democratic Party and their Vanguard, the Main Stream Media, are so desperately attempting to sell.

Perhaps it has to do with what Dr. James Dobson, the Christian Leader who founded “Focus on the Family” said before the 2016 Presidential Election about Trump’s faith.

Only the Lord knows the condition of a person’s heart. I can only tell you what I’ve heard. First, Trump appears to be tender to things of the Spirit. I also hear that Paula White has known Trump for years and that she personally led him to Christ. Do I know that for sure? No. Do I know the details of that alleged conversion? I can’t say that I do. But there are many Christian leaders who are serving on a faith advisory committee for Trump in the future. I am among them. There are about 25 of us that include Jerry Falwell, Jr., Robert Jeffress, Jack Graham, Ben Carson, James Robison, Michele Bachmann, and many others whom you would probably know. We’ve all agreed to serve. How will that play out if Trump becomes president? I don’t know. It is a good start, I would think.

If anything, this man is a baby Christian who doesn’t have a clue about how believers think, talk and act. All I can tell you is that we have only two choices, Hillary or Donald. Hillary scares me to death. And, if Christians stay home because he isn’t a better candidate, Hillary will run the world for perhaps eight years. The very thought of that haunts my nights and days. One thing is sure: we need to be in prayer for our nation at this time of crisis.

Dr. Dobson was not alone.

The thought of Hillary becoming President of the United States of America scared a lot of Americans…and still does.

But, I digress…

So, why are Christian Americans still supporting President Trump?

Our Salvation is not determined by the support of our American President…but, by God’s Grace.

As Christians we are instructed to individually listen to that “Still Small Voice” inside us.

While Christians, in church and outside of it, represent the corporate Body of Christ, according to scripture, we each possess the Spiritual Gifts of Free Will and Discernment.

These gifts are used by each of us on a daily basis, including aiding in our decision to continue to support President Trump.

Unlike Liberals and Marxists (but, I may be repeating myself), we do not make our political decisions or vote as a collective, nor should we.

There were no Saints who ran in 2016 for the President of the United States of America, on either side.

And, there are certainly no Saints vying to be the Democratic Party Candidate for President in 2020.

Our choice in 2016 was between a flawed man, as we all are, and a woman…a very mean and evil woman.

When President Trump, like the rest of Christian Americans, attends a Church Service, he is not sitting in a Shrine for Saints. He is sitting in a Hospital for Sinners.

The Modern American Liberals of the Democratic Party continue to act as if they are holier-than-thou, while believing in relative morality and situational ethics.

They still have not figured it out.

no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD and their vindication from me, declares the LORD.” – Isaiah 54:17 (ESV)

Like the rest of us Christians, President Trump does not have to be perfect…just FORGIVEN.

I’m just sayin’.

Ret. General Compares Trump to Mussolini for Ending Federal Agencies’ Subscriptions to NYT and WaPo…Really?…I Think It’s Great!

There is no news media. There’s simply a bunch of people on television and in newspapers who are ranking members of the Democrat Party. – Rush Limbaugh

FoxNews.com reports that

Retired Army Gen. Barry McCaffrey on Friday compared the Trump administration’s directive to federal agencies to cancel subscriptions to The New York Times and The Washington Post to fascist Italian leader Benito Mussolini.

In a tweet, the former four-star general called the decision a “watershed moment in history.”

“The White House Trump statement telling the entire Federal Government to terminate subscriptions to the NYT and Wash Post is a watershed moment in national history,” McCaffrey said. “No room for HUMOROUS media coverage. This is deadly serious. This is Mussolini.”

On Tuesday, the White House said it would not renew subscriptions to both newspapers a day after Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that “we don’t even want it in the White House anymore.”

“We’re going to probably terminate that [The Times] and The Washington Post. They’re fake,” he said.

Trump has repeatedly accused both papers — and a number of other media outlets — of unfair coverage.

McCaffrey has criticized Trump on several other occasions. Earlier this year, he warned of Trump pardoning military personnel accused of war crimes, destroying U.S. alliances with Europe, and called him a “serious threat to U.S. national security.”

McCaffrey has also taken issue with disparaging comments made by Trump against former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, whom the president called “the world’s most overrated general.”

President Trump was well within the parameters of his job to decide what our Federal Agencies spend taxpayer money on.

Please explain to me why the agencies who are a part of his Administration simply MUST subscribe to the New York Times and the Washington Post, two newspapers who have devolved into nothing more than Propaganda Arms of the Democratic Party, attacking President Trump and his Administration in numerous articles every single day.

You would have thought that the Main Stream Media in general would have figured out that Trump is not like any other Republican President in recent memory.

HE FIGHTS BACK.

First he stopped the Daily Press Briefings because Acosta and his fellow members of the Hive-Mind had turned what used to be an informative meeting into a circus sideshow designed to attack both the President and His Press Secretary, while the reporters made themselves the focus of the “news”, instead of just reporting it like they are supposed to.

Just as fewer and fewer Americans are watching CNN and MSNBC, so are fewer and fewer Americans subscribing to the New York Times, the Washington Post, and all of their fellow Liberal Rags across the country.

Liberal “journalists”, both print and broadcast, have not figured out that their Far Left Liberal Personal political ideology is not shared by the majority of Americans.

They need to wake up and smell what they are shoveling because average Americans are tired of the odor of B.S. coming from their reporting.

You would have thought that, after all of their predictions and assurances to Americans that Hillary Clinton was going to be the 45th President of the United States turned out to be completely wrong, that they was have stepped back and performed a self-assessment of themselves and the product that they were putting out.

Instead, just like their masters in the Far Left Democratic Party, they doubled down on their didactic arrogance and production of fictional articles, now known as “Fake News”, thanks to President Trump.

That is what has led to this “Watershed Moment” as the General called it.

It wasn’t some sort of fascism on the President’s part.

It was a thoughtful and well-measured reaction to over 3 years of Fake News and Personal Attacks.

Just like most average Americans have already done with Liberal Newspapers around the country, the President cancelled his subscriptions to the New York Times and the Washington Post because they were not worth the money that he was spending on them.

Durham Probe Now Full-Fledged Investigation, Horowitz Announces Report to be Made Public Soon, Few Redactions

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

FoxNews.com reports that

U.S. Attorney John Durham’s ongoing probe into potential FBI and Justice Department misconduct has transitioned into a full-fledged criminal investigation, two sources familiar with the investigation told Fox News on Thursday night.

One source added that DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s upcoming report on FBI surveillance abuses will shed light on why Durham’s probe has become a criminal inquiry. Horowitz announced on Thursday his report would be available to the public soon, with “few” redactions.

The investigation’s new status means Durham can subpoena witnesses, file charges, and impanel fact-finding grand juries.

Fox News reported on Tuesday that Durham’s probe had expanded significantly based on new evidence uncovered during a recent trip to Rome with Attorney General Bill Barr.

Barr reportedly told embassy officials in Italy that he “needed a conference room to meet high-level Italian security agents where he could be sure no one was listening in.”

A source in the Italian Ministry of Justice told The Daily Beast earlier this month that Barr and Durham were played a taped deposition made by Joseph Mifsud, the professor who allegedly told ex-Trump aide George Papadopoulos that the Russians had “dirt” on Hillary Clinton. Mifsud reportedly was explaining to investigators in the deposition why people would want to harm him, and why he needed police protection.

Papadopoulos has suggested he was connected with Mifsud as part of a setup orchestrated by intelligence agencies.

Sources told Fox News that Durham was “very interested” to question former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan, an anti-Trump critic who recently dismissed the idea. The New York Times reported Thursday that Durham’s criminal review has prompted some CIA officials to obtain criminal legal counsel in anticipation of being interviewed.

Brennan and Clapper were at the helm not only when Mifsud spoke to Papadopoulos, but also when the unverified and largely discredited dossier, written by British ex-spy Christopher Steele and funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee, was used to help justify a secret surveillance warrant against former Trump adviser Carter Page in the run-up to the 2016 election.

The FBI apparently obscured the fact that the Clinton campaign and DNC funded the dossier in its warrant application, telling the secret court only that the dossier was prepared at the behest of an unidentified presidential campaign.

Additionally, in its original FISA application and subsequent renewals, the FBI told the FISA court it “did not believe” Steele was the direct source for a Yahoo News article implicating Page in Russian collusion. Instead, the FBI suggested to the court, the September 2016 article by Michael Isikoff was independent corroboration of the dossier. But, London court records showed that contrary to the FBI’s assessments, Steele briefed Yahoo News and other reporters in the fall of 2016 at the direction of Fusion GPS.

It has further emerged that Steele had communications with a State Department contact — which were relayed to the FBI — in which Steele claimed the Russians were running a “technical/human operation run out of Moscow targeting the election” and that “payments to those recruited are made out of the Russian Consulate in Miami.”

There is no Russian consulate in Miami, a fact the State Department official, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec, emphasized in her notes. And, Steele had suggested his client was “keen” to see his information come to light prior to Election Day.

Kavalec forwarded her notes to the FBI and other government officials several days before the FISA warrant was issued for Page.

Also on Thursday, top Republicans revealed never-before-seen texts from fired FBI agent Peter Strzok, in which he apparently discussed systemic leaking at the bureau.

Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, revealed the texts in a letter to the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) requesting an update on whether the FBI’s apparent leaks to the media were being probed.

The senators pushed to know whether the ICIG was looking into Strzok’s email to FBI colleagues on April 13, 2017, when he wrote that an unidentified “agency” might be the “source of some of the leaks” to the media that he’d been seeing.

Well, it looks like the kitchen lights are about to be turned on and the Professional Bureaucratic Cockroaches in the CIA are scurrying for cover.

About that “unidentified agency” that was the “source of some of the leaks” to the Main Stream Media…could perhaps its initials be C.I.A.?

Consider how much Former CIA Director and Muslim convert Brennan absolutely despises President Donald J. Trump, I would say that it is highly probable.

The Obama Administration weaponized the DOJ, the FBI, and the CIA in a covert Deep State Operation designed first to prevent Donald J. Trump from being the Republican Nominee and then to prevent him from winning the 2016 Presidential Election.

When that failed, money was poured out through the Clinton Foundation and the Democratic Party to Christopher Steele to create the phony FISA Document.

With the FBI and the CIA involvement as stooges of the Democratic Party, the Special Counsel was soon named and America was put through a two and one half year nightmare simply because the Democrats are a bunch of sore losers.

We are still going through that same nightmare as Adam Schiff and the House Dems are holding secret Soviet-style meetings, created because Shifty Schiff’s people met with a “concerned whistleblower”, who, if he exists, is probably a professional bureaucrat and a Deep State agent in the CIA.

While I trust Durham and Barr, I have some doubts about Horowitz, who is himself, a professional bureaucrat like the rest of them.

I hope his report is the match in a the dry forest of Democrat corruption which gets the fire started, setting the stage for the Attorney General’s findings to Rain of the Democrats’ Impeachment Parade.

Republicans Storm Schiff’s SCHIF Demanding Transparency Instead of Secret Impeachment Meetings

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

REPUBLICANS-STORM-1024x768

FoxNews.com reports that

Fox News learned in more detail how things went down Wednesday in the House Intelligence Committee when 25-30 House Republicans barged into a closed-door deposition of Pentagon official Laura Cooper.

Sources said House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., summoned House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving to deal with the deluge of members who were not members of the Intelligence, Oversight or Foreign Affairs Committees.

“It was a violation of House rules and decorum,” said one source.

Fox News is told that the members led by Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., actually entered not just the non-secure anteroom and hallways of the Sensitive Compartmentalized Information Facility (SCIF), but the secure room where Cooper was to be deposed.

That’s where members are not supposed to have electronic devices. Members are asked to agree to an oath that they will not do so. The facility was swept for electronic devices after member gave up their devices.

It appeared one member didn’t surrender their device, prompting a deeper scrub that took around two hours.

The standoff occurred after lawmakers held a news conference accusing Democrats of lacking transparency and specifically calling out Schiff, who is leading the impeachment investigation into President Trump.

From there, the House Republicans stormed in the room where Cooper, who has overseen Ukraine policy at the Pentagon, was set to testify.

There was never any threat of arrest, but a source said some members asked to be arrested, citing the optics of being marched out of the SCIF in handcuffs in front of throngs of reporters and news cameras. That would have surely supported a running GOP narrative that Democrats have run amok with the impeachment process.

The Republicans in the room were not rowdy, though their presence in a secure facility, in the middle of House panel business of which they are not members, still ruffled some feathers.

However, there wasn’t much security officials could do, one congressional source told Fox News.

“They’re members. They’re expected to adhere to the rules. There’s no real punishment for breaking the rules,” said the source.

Schiff decided to wait the Republicans out, knowing there was a mid-afternoon vote on the House floor. The Republicans left and the deposition finished around 3:15 p.m.

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., sent a letter to Irving, raising “serious concerns” about the security of SCIF’s. He asked Irving to “take action with respect to the Members involved in the breach.”

The members who violated the rules of the SCIF could be referred to the House Ethics Committee, one source told Fox News.

“We made our point,” said one Republican who asked not to be identified.

I am truly glad that some of the Republicans finally grew a spine.

It only took them almost 3 years.

Where have they been all of these months while President Trump has been literally put on daily public trial by the Democrats and the MSM and found guilty of everything from bigotry, and conspiring with Vladimir Putin to using the same word that Democrats themselves used when describing the Impeachment of President Bill Clinton.

There have been a few of them, like Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, and Mark Meadows, who have spoke out in defense of the President.

Even Lindsey Graham found his long-lost Conservative Voice…after John McCain passed away.

There is nothing Constitutional, or anywhere near being ethical, for the Democrats to be holding Soviet-style secret meetings every single day on Capitol Hill, in their attempt to overthrow the will of the American People in removing President Donald J. Trump from office.

By the way, don’t believe any of the polls which show that the majority of Americans want the Dems to impeach President Trump.

I could post a poll showing that the majority of Americans polled believe that Nancy Pelosi is a space alien.

Political Polls are only as accurate as their sample ratios.

The only “poll” that was accurate in the 2016 Presidential Election was the Electoral Map showing a whole lot of red (Trump Voters) and just a little bit of blue (Clinton Voters) after the election was over.

But, I digress.

I believe that the most telling thing about the Republicans’ walking into the Democrats’ Secret Tribunal was the fact that Chairman Adam Schiff ran out the back door when those Republicans came in the front door.

Bullies always act brave…until their bluff is called.

It is time for Republicans to stand up and be counted.

They need to continue to disrupt the Democrats’ Secret Meetings until Nancy Pelosi breaks down and calls for a vote on whether or not to formally impeach the 45th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.

Otherwise, the Democrats will keep running over the Republicans and attempting to circumvent the First Amendment Right of American Citizens to decide whom our President should be.

This is a Constitutional Republic. America is not a Socialist Country, governed in secret.

It is time for Republicans to remember who put them on Capitol Hill.

Until He Comes,
