ARIZONA’S JEFF FLAKE NEEDS TO GO…

After last year’s polling debacle I don’t suppose it would be a wise decision, regardless of which end of the political spectrum you may reside, to put much faith in any poll having to do with the next election.  But I must admit that it does do my heart good to hear that, it would at least appear, Republican Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, one of President Donald Trump’s more vitriolic critics, should be worried about keeping his Senate seat.  And such news comes from the recently released JMC Analytics poll which said that if the GOP primary for the 2018 election was held over the weekend challenger Kelli Ward would be ahead with 47 percent, and Flake would be behind with 21 percent. Twenty-nine percent of Republican voters said they were undecided.  Flake and Trump have attacked one another, and Trump recently tweeted, “Great to see that Dr. Kelli Ward is running against Flake Jeff Flake, who is WEAK on borders, crime and a non-factor in Senate. He’s toxic!”

Now while this was in no way a direct endorsement of the former state senator, Trump allies have certainly gotten behind Dr. Ward.  A pro-Trump super PAC, ‘Great America PAC’, spent $20,000 helping Ward, according to federal election filings.  In addition, prominent Trump donor Robert Mercer gave $300,000 to Ward.  Mercer previously gave to Ward’s 2016 campaign in which she failed to beat RINO John McCain in the state’s GOP primary.  One result in Monday’s poll that bodes well for Ward is that 67 percent of likely Republican voters have an unfavorable opinion of Flake and just 22 percent like him.  Forty-three percent of those polled have a favorable opinion of Ward.  The poll also said that 66 percent of likely GOP voters think someone other than Flake should be the GOP nominee for the 2018 race.  Granted, there is still a very long way to go before the election, and no doubt a great many things can happen before it gets here.  But it is cause for hope.

JMC Analytics’ John Couvillon, shows Flake in almost irreparable shape ahead of his reelection bid in 2018.  That an incumbent U.S. Senator like Flake could be polling as low as 21 percent in his own primary, while a challenger like Ward has pulled 26 points ahead of him at 47 percent, is almost unthinkable with nearly a full year to go until the August 2018 primary.  Three percent of the electorate said they would vote for Nicholas Tutora, another candidate, and 29 percent are undecided, when asked which candidate they would vote for between Ward, Flake, and Tutora.  When asked if Flake should be re-nominated in 2018, it was a rather astounding 66 percent who said that someone else should represent the Republican Party on the Senate ticket next year while just 22 percent said Flake should be re-nominated with 13 percent saying they are undecided.  Undecided?  What, have they been living under a rock?  

Fifty-six percent said they would be more likely to vote for a candidate if President Donald Trump endorsed someone in the primary, while 19 percent said they would be less likely, and 25 percent said a Trump endorsement would make no difference.  The survey also asked respondents about Trump’s criticism of Flake as “weak on borders, crime, and a non-factor in the Senate.” It noted that Trump “wants to unseat Senator Flake in the Republican primary,” and asked if that makes voters more or less likely to back Flake in 2018. In response, a solid majority—60 percent—said that Trump’s opposition to Flake’s reelection makes them less likely to support the senator, while only 21 percent said it makes them more likely to back Flake, and 19 percent said it makes no difference.  A whopping 76 percent of respondents in the JMC Analytics poll approve of President Trump’s job performance, while just 21 percent disapprove and six percent have no opinion

In his analysis of the polling data it was Mr. Couvillon who detailed just how big of a deal it actually is that Flake is currently so far underwater in this recent polling.  He said, “Next year’s Senate race already has the potential to be competitive, given that (1) Senator Flake won his first term in 2012 with a 49-46% plurality (running behind Mitt Romney’s 54%), and (2) in last year’s Presidential election, Arizona moved perceptibly towards the Democrats, as Donald Trump only carried the state 49-45%  (In 2012, Mitt Romney carried the state 54-45%).  But while the general election will be a challenge (Arizona is one of two Republican held Senate seats that Democrats could put in play next November), Senator Flake has a more immediate problem: he faces a substantial primary challenge as well.”

Mr. Couvillon then went on to say, “On the primary ballot test, Kelli Ward has a 47-21% lead over Flake (with wide leads over the incumbent among virtually every demographically significant group), despite Flake’s having nearly two decades of Congressional experience.  And Flake also faces underwater approval ratings (his unfavorability rating is 67-22%, while Ward’s approval is 43-23% positive) nearly identical to the overwhelming negative opinion Arizona Republican primary voters have of him: by a 66-22% margin, they would prefer someone else over the incumbent in the primary.”

Couvillon continued by noting how big of a deal Trump involvement may play in the race.  He said, “President Trump is still fairly popular (76-21% approval among Republican likely primary voters), and that popularity also translates to the value of a Trump endorsement in this contest: respondents by a 56-19% margin would be more likely to support President Trump’s endorsed candidate. That sentiment is especially potent when President Trump makes an incumbent (in this case, Senator Flake) the subject of his ire, such as his August 17 tweet dismissing Sen. Flake as “toxic” and a “non-factor” in the U.S. Senate. JMC tested the impact of that message, and on the basis of that tweet, respondents would by a 60-21% margin be less likely to support Flake (those more likely to support Flake already support him 76-5% on the ballot test, while those less likely to support Flake support Ward 68-5%). In summary, Senator Flake faces a substantial primary challenge from Kelli Ward, and this race could determine partisan control of the U.S. Senate.”

And it was this past Sunday evening that Dr. Ward appeared on Breitbart News on ‘SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel’ to highlight her challenge against Flake.  And it was on that show that Dr. Ward said, “There are so many reasons” that Flake is tanking in the polls.   And she went on to say, “His popularity wasn’t even very high before he started on this anti-Trump tirade that he has been on. You know he has been a Never Trumper forever. He was a Never Trumper during the primary. He said that Donald Trump was not his 14th choice to be our nominee. After Donald Trump fought his way through that field of contenders in that primary process, he still said that Donald Trump should get out and that America deserves better.”  She said, “That’s what he was featured in Hillary Clinton’s campaign commercial about.”  This guy Flake is the personification of why it’s so important that President Trump drain ‘The Swamp.’

Anyway, Dr. Ward went on to say, “And since Donald Trump’s been in the White House he has been a huge thorn in his side. He came out with his book, his ‘manifesto’ to conservatives, basically putting us down and belittling us because we just don’t know what is happening in Washington, D.C., and in the world, and he needs to tell us and he needs to pat us on the head and tell us what conservatism is all about, forgetting that the election of 2016 was a mandate here in our country for people who want what Donald Trump told us he was going to give us: the secure border, stop illegal immigration, repeal Obamacare, fix the tax code, grow the economy, make sure the military is the strongest military in the world. Those are the things that people want, and those are the things that Jeff Flake as well as other people that dwell in the swamp are standing in the way of.”

And what should be of even more concern to the good senator from Arizona is the fact that the JMC Analytics survey is hardly the only polling organization currently showing him to be in such a dire situation.  Because a HighGround Public Affairs survey conducted from Aug. 18 to Aug. 19 of 273 “high efficacy Republican and PND/Independent voters” with a margin of error of 5.93 percent also found that Ward was leading Flake by 14 points.  She was at approximately 42 percent in that survey, while Flake was down at around 28 percent.  So it would seem that things have only gotten worse for Flake since then.  And deservedly so.  This guy could very easily jumped onboard the ‘Trump Train’ and assisted in getting this country back on the road to recovery after eight years of the worst president in modern American history.  But nope, he just couldn’t bring himself to do it.  So here’s to hoping that soon it’ll be Senator Ward!

But now comes the rumor that Sheriff Joe Arpaio may be considering that he too is interested in taking on Flake for the senate seat.  Now no offense to good Sheriff Joe, but that would be nothing short of a disaster!  How about, instead, we have ‘Sheriff Joe for GOVERNOR’ of Arizona, but definitely not Senator!  I think it’s fair to say that Dr. Ward has EARNED her spot here and has a YUGE Lead!  If he was to enter the race that would nothing more than to guarantee that, short of another brain tumor diagnosis, we’d would likely be saddled with Flake another 6 Years!!  Arizona needs one, I repeat ONE, primary challenger to Flake.  The RINOs will likely throw in a Potemkin candidate to further dilute the anti-Flake vote.  All other potential challengers should simply stay away. I’m thinking that Dr. Kelli Ward has this one covered and will be the only one to get any money from me.

So here's Plan A going from here:  In the GOP, we wipe out Flake, Strange, and Heller in the primaries.  On the Democrat side we target McCaskill in MO, Tester in MT, Donnelly in IN, Manchin in WV, Heitkamp in ND, Stabenow in MI (go Kid Rock!), Nelson in FL, Brown in OH, Frankin in MN, Kaine in VA, and Casey in PA.  Can you imagine 14 new conservative Senators in the Senate helping pass Trump's agenda of lower taxes, lower immigration, and ‘The Wall?’  McConnell would be so beside himself that he might even go so far as to blow his brains out.  We take out ‘RINO Ryan in 2018 by donating and voting for Paul Nehlen in Wisconsin's 1st District!  We replace McConnell in 2020 by drafting KY Rep. Thomas Massie, who has a 100% Conservative Rating.  Also, we keep donating to Dr. Ward to assist in her effort to take out Jeff Flake, the UN Globalist-Open Borders/Amnesty Snake in 2018!   Also, we need to convince Sheriff Joe to stay out of the way and allow Dr. Ward to win!  There’s no Plan B.

And here’s one final warning to all of our lying-sack-of-shit, back-stabbing RINOs.  They had better start getting behind our president, and the sooner they do that the longer their life expectancy, electorally speaking or course, will be.  Because otherwise they all just might be looking for a new job in a little over a year.  They don't seem to understand that Trump has 60% or 70% of Republican voters and 35% or 40% of all voters who will vote for Trump no matter what he does.  So they either need to get with the program, or get out of the way of those whose mission has become the saving of what’s left of this country after eight years of Obummer.  I always get a rather sizable kick out of watching President Trump whenever he starts naming names of all our pathetic sellouts.  It's about time we had someone willing to play real hardball with these pretend-wannabe-conservative-RINO-Republicans.  I’ve had it with the whole lot of them, Flake included!

NANCY PELOSI…THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING???

These days I often look at Nancy Pelosi as being the gift that keeps on giving, politically speaking.  But that being said, she does offer up a pretty clear image of what America would likely come to look like if the American people were ever to actually be foolish enough to allow the Democrat Party to achieve a majority of any size in Congress or to elect another Democrat as president.  Granted, the Republicans have been less than stellar over the course of the last 7 years.  But that is certainly no reason to commence the electing of Democrats.  The proper corrective action would be to cleanse Congress of ALL Establishment types, both Republican and Democrat, and to then replace them bona fide conservatives.  Now I wouldn’t be opposed to the electing of conservative Democrats, if any could be found.  But I’m convinced that that particular species of American politician long ago went extinct.  These days you would be hard-pressed to find any Democrat who is not a rabid left-wing extremist!   

So anyway, back to why it is that I again bother to bring up Ms. Pelosi.  You see, it was as recently as Friday of last week that Pelosi floated the notion that it would be “immoral” to build a wall along the border between the United States and Mexico.  Pelosi was of course reacting to President Donald Trump’s declaration at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona, that he might force a shutdown of the government if Congress does not approve money to fund the start of construction of ‘The Wall’ he has promised to build.  Pelosi said, “Last night, President Trump yet again threatened to cause chaos in the lives of millions of Americans if he doesn’t get his way.”  And she went on to say, “Make no mistake: The President said he will purposefully hurt American communities to force American taxpayers to fund an immoral, ineffective and expensive border wall.”  She vowed, “Democrats will stand fast against the immoral, ineffective border wall and the rest of Republicans’ unacceptable poison pill riders.”

San Francisco – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement after President Trump threatened to shut down government if Congress does not spend billions of taxpayer dollars to begin construction of his border wall:

“Last night, President Trump yet again threatened to cause chaos in the lives of millions of Americans if he doesn’t get his way.  Make no mistake: the President said he will purposefully hurt American communities to force American taxpayers to fund an immoral, ineffective and expensive border wall.

“The last time Republicans shut down the government, their callous recklessness cost the American economy $24 billion and 120,000 jobs.  With a Republican House, Senate and Administration, Republicans have absolutely no excuses for threatening America’s families with a destructive and pointless government shutdown.

“President Trump’s multi-billion-dollar border wall boondoggle is strongly opposed by Democrats and many Republicans.  Democrats will stand fast against the immoral, ineffective border wall and the rest of Republicans’ unacceptable poison pill riders.”

So, are we now to assume that Pelosi is referring to Mexico as being an IMMORAL nation simply because it has built a wall on its southern border to better control "illegal immigration" into and through Mexico from the south?  Is Pelosi, perhaps, calling herself IMMORAL because she lives behind ‘walls’ at her very exclusive ‘whites only’ gated community?  Pelosi is proof positive that the hateful left in this country has no sense of duty to America or her citizens, or to truth, or to morality in general.  How is aborting millions of lives every year, moral?  But then I suppose that’s a discussion for another day.   And since when is it immoral to build a wall which will help the Federal Government enforce Federal Immigration laws.  And is it also fair to assume that Pelosi also views as being immoral, the act of enforcing our immigration laws.  Perhaps she should familiarize herself with Mexico’s immigration laws which are far stricter than anything in this country and which are actually enforced.  Immoral?  

On the subject of a shutdown, in case there may be those who fail to realize it, or who choose to simply ignore the fact, the last government shut-down was caused by the Democrats (including the Messiah, Obummer, himself), not the Republicans.  Individual funding bills were passed in the House, only to go into the desk drawer of ‘Dingy Harry’ Reid, who, at the time, controlled the Senate.  He stopped every one of those individual funding bills, which funded the entire government, except for Obamacare.  He did so so Obummer would have to neither sign them into law or be forced to veto them.  And what could now be the driving force behind Pelosi making such a declaration is the fact that the Democrats now realize their only remaining path to power is through the destruction of our sovereignty via the legalization of millions of illegals and so called "refugees" regardless of the danger/financial cost.  There are ‘walls’ all around the world. And the fact is, they work and work very well.

Seriously, Democrats have admitted to rigging/stealing elections via massive voter fraud for 50+ years and a voter fraud investigation appears to be devastating their base as evidenced by the fact that 11 counties in California were found to have more voters on their rolls then voting age adults, anywhere from 102-144% more.  Amazingly, immediately after an illegal alien woman in Texas was sentenced to seven years and deportation for voting illegally the turnout in local elections in California went down dramatically and that might explain why the left has filed seven lawsuits to prevent the Voter Fraud Commission from reviewing the voter rolls in every state in the nation to remove dead people/illegal aliens and identify those who may have voted multiple times/in multiple states.  Their ability to steal elections via massive fraud could end up being severely crippled with the review of the voter rolls.  The 11 counties in California that have more voters on their rolls then they have voting age adults are:

Imperial (102%)

Lassen (102%)

Los Angeles (112%-144%)

Monterey (104%)

San Diego (138%)

San Francisco (114%)

San Mateo (111%)

Santa Cruz (109%)

Solano (111%)

Stanislaus (102%)

Yolo (110%)

So what do you suppose the 2018 and 2020 elections look like for Democrats who have claimed high numbers of minority votes in previous elections?  Hence the reason Democrats, including Pelosi, now have their collective panties in such a bunch when it comes to President Trump’s ‘Wall’.  Because anyone who doesn’t understand that the Democrats have been cheating for years during every election cycle, whether local, state or federal, is either naïve beyond belief or has been living under a rock for what would have to be decades.  Either that or they are themselves a Democrat so it simply doesn’t matter to them if their side is cheating because all that matters to them is that their side wins.  I guess that’s one of the reasons that I have such a very low opinion of anyone who can bring themselves to routinely vote Democrat.  And might I add that Pelosi’s concept of morality is matched only by the immorality of the many perverts that she represents and who call the Democrat Party, home.   

And how is it, exactly, that Pelosi, or any Democrat, has any ground upon which to stand when it comes to accusing any person, or group of persons, of being immoral?  There is no question that our open southern border during Barry Obummer’s tenure allowed an untold number of foreigners to literally pour into our country illegally.  Which resulted in the taxing of our resources, bringing diseases into our country that had been conquered years ago, and endangering our country.  Pelosi knows this is true, but still she argues for open borders.  That my friends is the paragon of immorality.  Go President Trump, build that wall and “Make America Great Again!”  A wall would not be needed if people would voluntarily obey U.S. immigration laws.  Since we have an invasion from the South, something must be done to protect American citizens and our way of life.  And since Pelosi sees killing babies as moral and enforcing immigration laws as immoral, I don't think she understands the concept very well.

Look, the very simply fact is that we can no longer afford to “split the pot” with everyone who wants a piece, be it Syrian refugees or Mexican bus-boys, getting a piece.  We’re broke, and it’s not something that’s going to be resolved anytime soon.  It will likely take years.  And it also important to keep in mind here that Pelosi is the very same senile old crackpot who thinks that we still have a Bush in the White House.  And this is also the very same woman who saw virtually nothing wrong with steering millions-of-dollars in government contracts to her husband's business.  So it’s important to keep in perspective just why it is the Democrats are all for throwing our southern border as open as we can.  And it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with what’s moral or immoral!  What it has everything to do with is VOTES and WINNING elections!  Yes, my friends, it really is just that simple.  So all of this malarkey about how building a ‘wall’ is immoral, is just that.  A bunch of MALARKEY!

NANCY PELOSI…TRULY UNFIT FOR OFFICE…

It never quite ceases to amaze me how those on the left continue to call into question President Trump’s mental status, as they did with Reagan and the Bushes before him, while ignoring completely the questionable mental status of so many within their own ranks.  And it’s those now questioning President Trump’s fitness to hold the office to which he was elected who should perhaps look a little closer to home in seeking out those who are mentally deficient.  Nancy Pelosi comes to mind as being someone who’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer having demonstrated her questionable mental status on more than one occasion.  She keeps calling President Trump “President Bush” and continues to struggle with her vocabulary.  The latest example happened in a recent interview with KRON in San Francisco when she “mixed her metaphors,” when talking about what the 

First Amendment does and doesn’t cover when it comes to free speech.

And it was in that which can now be dubbed “the interview that keeps on giving,” with KRON4 this week that Pelosi flubbed, rather badly, a metaphor, saying, "The Constitution does not say that a person can shout — yell wolf in a crowded theater.”  And then went on to say, “If you are endangering people, then you don’t have a constitutional right to do that.”  Perhaps yelling “wolf” in a theater could be frightening for Alaskans, but everywhere else, “fire” is the magic word.  Personally, I can't wait for her to tell us the story about "the boy who cried fire" so many times that no one believed him when the crowded theater burned down.  Also, Pelosi seems to have forgotten that her official job title has “minority” in it because she seems to think that Democrats are sweeping the Republicans and have “won every fight” against them.  I’m assuming she simply blocked out the four special elections the Democrats have lost in just the last eight months? 

And in the same interview, Pelosi seemed offended by the reporter who asked why the Democrats can’t capitalize on a Republican Party that would seem to be in such “disarray.”  She responded by saying, “What do you mean ‘not capitalize?’ We’ve beaten them on the — in appropriations. We've won every fight. The president's numbers are in the high 30s, which is, for a new president, remarkable to be so low. He is making his own case. The American people see for themselves that he does not share their values and that he does not—some who may have voted for him are now rethinking and others are just digging in their heels."  Pelosi went on to say that she expects her party to “take back the Congress” in 2018 and hopes to pick up a few Republicans along the way, offering them the Democrat’s Papa John’s-inspired slogan, “Our better deal. Better jobs. Better pay. Better future.”  I’m thinking she had better schedule a mental health evaluation.

And also we can add to that the fact that it was after her recent call for the removal of all Confederate statues from the halls of Congress, calling them a "reprehensible" reminder of this nation's racist past that it turned out that Pelosi has a rather strange kinship with Confederate statues.  You see that would be because her father once dedicated a statue of Robert E. Lee.  But wait, how could that be you ask?  How could she have forgotten that little fact?  I guess we’re to assume she woke up from a 30-year slumber last week and suddenly decided to be outraged by the Confederate statues standing in the halls of Congress.  She now seems to find them “reprehensible” and is demanding House Speaker Paul Ryan have them removed.  Shortly thereafter it was reported that "Pelosi’s father, Baltimore Mayor Thomas D’Alesandro, Jr., spoke as the mayor at the dedication of a monument to Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson in 1948." 

It’s all so very bizarre that leftists can see fit to cry "dementia" and "mental illness" when talking about President Trump and yet can ignore completely the obvious cases within their midst.  Pelosi is nothing if not incompetent and is yet another example of how those who live in glass houses should never engage in the act of throwing of stones.  But let’s face it, she is far from being the only Democrat in Congress that can be said to be of a questionable mental state and therefore unfit to hold the office they have been elected to.  They prove that point every time they open their mouths, such as when Pelosi said during the process of ‘passing’ Obamacare that, “We have to pass the bill before we can see what’s in the bill.”  That was totally dishonest.  That's why the Democrats are the only ones who supported the bill in both the House and the Senate.  How is that anyone who thinks this way should ever be elected to any position above that of Dog Catcher? 

But I must admit that even though Pelosi is incredibly stupid, or is severely demented, just like a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and again, she's pretty much right on the mark regarding her claim that her Democrats seem to manhandling our group spineless Republicans in Congress.  Because Democrats are beating Republicans where it matters most, namely in the size, cost and power of government.  Granted, the Democrats are getting more than a little help from Establishment Republicans like Ryan and McConnell and RINOs like John McCain, Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham and Susan Collins.  And it has been with such assistance that the Democrats have seen huge spending bills passed with no cuts to social programs (even NPR and Planned Parenthood remains fully funded), avoided having even one cabinet-level department eliminated, have prevented any cuts to immigration, have prevented the wall from being built, and succeeded in keeping Obamacare firmly in place. 

The woman is definitely mentally ill.  You would think that her family, if they really cared about her, would seek to save her any further embarrassment by putting her into the home, to keep her from making even more of an ass out of herself than she does already on a daily basis.  She is defiant, just like that other mental case, ‘Mad Maxine’ Waters.  There are those who go LONG, when they are deranged/mentally ill, and this is just too embarrassing.   Especially, when dishonest Democrats try to portray President Trump as being mentally impaired.  Meanwhile he works circles around all those in Congress!  And it doesn't matter whether she's confused or just deliberately doesn't care.  If the Democrats ever gain power again and are able to appoint a majority of the Supreme Court there will be NO freedom of speech in this country ever again, the Constitution be damned.  And you can take that to the bank.  Term Limits would have ended this farce decades ago, shame on you.

And let’s be honest, it’s Pelosi, and her Democrat cohorts, who can rightly be said to be responsible for James Hodgkinson deciding that the time had come for him to kill himself a few Republican law makers.  His mass murder attempt nearly succeeded after shooting four congressmen and shooting off hundreds of rounds, before he was finally killed by police.  And it was afterwards that not a single scumbag Democrat would call the attack exactly what it was, rabid leftwing terrorism!  This leftwing culture of political hate and violence is terrorism, and is now essentially out of control.  Pelosi has exhausted her tenure as one of the most district-rigged and re-elected ‘Establishment Democrats’ we have ever been made to endure. The woman can hardly string two words together and can't even express a thought in a lucid manner.  And yet she remains the leader of the Democrats in the House, and that in itself makes very clear what the priorities of her party really are.

THE ‘COMEDY NEWS NETWORK’ (CNN)…THE MELTDOWN CONTINUES…

The unraveling of our state-controlled news media, which essentially began well before last November’s election, and then picked up speed the day after the election before slipping into near hyper-drive on inauguration day, continues unabated and has even accelerated further still almost 10 months after the election.  While it has been a rather amazing process to watch unfold, there is, like it or not, a serious side to it all.  Because at this particular point in time the American people have now essentially been left without access to any serious or credible source of reliable news and information, either broadcast or print.  And it’s sad really that it seems not to matter in the least to anyone involved in any of these various ‘news’ organizations that they are now viewed by a majority of the American people as being little more than front groups for the Democrat Party.  It has become increasingly difficult to take anyone involved in the media seriously because most appear to have become so completely unhinged.  The temper tantrums are now becoming far more frequent and each new one that comes along is more intense than ones that came before.  And still we’re expected to view these purveyors of hate as being serious journalists.  Sorry, those days are long gone, and will likely never return.  They’ve got no one to blame but themselves since they’ve now pissed in their Cheerios.          

It was during an episode of ‘CNN Tonight’, the day after President Trump’s recent rally in Arizona, that the show’s host Don Lemon left little doubt about just how far round the bend his supposed ‘news’ network has now gone regarding its hatred of President Trump.  Lemon proceeded to light into President Trump after his speech in Phoenix, calling him a laundry list of names and even went so far as to question the president's sanity.  Lemon, never one to hide his bias, demonstrated a level of deceit uncommon even for him.  It’s as if CNN suddenly thinks its radical leftwing opinion is now something to be viewed as actual news.  He was so emotionally rattled after the speech that he went entirely off script “to speak from the heart.”  Lemon was very topical in his critique, even mentioning the one celestial event this week that brought many divided Americans together for roughly two minutes.  He said, “What we have witnessed was a total eclipse of the facts.”  And then went on to say, “Someone who came out on stage and lied directly to the American people and left things out that he said in an attempt to rewrite history, especially when it comes to Charlottesville.”  I would argue that before Lemon start throwing around such accusations he look in the mirror, because it’s he and his colleagues in the media who continue to spend the majority of their time lying directly to the American people! 

Lemon said he saw a very childish Trump during the speech.  He said, “He’s unhinged, it’s embarrassing, and I don’t mean for us, the media, because he went after us, but for the country. This is who we elected president of the United States, a man who is so petty that he has to go after people who he deems to be his enemy like an imaginary friend of a 6-year-old.”  He continued his rather idiotic rant by saying, “His speech was without thought; it was without reason; it was devoid of facts; it was devoid of wisdom. There was no gravitas; there was no sanity. He was like a child blaming a sibling on something else. ‘He did it, I didn’t do it.’”  Lemon said Trump “certainly opened up the race wound from Charlottesville” and claimed the president is “clearly wounded by the rational people who are abandoning him in droves.” He clarified that to be “business people and the people in Washington.” They are the ones “questioning his fitness for office,” Lemon theorized, “and whether he is stable.”  And he added, “That’s the truth." Lemon added, with no sense of irony.  And he concluded, “If you watch that speech as an American, you have to be thinking, ‘What in the world is going on? This is the person we elected as president of the United States? This petty, this small person who’s supposed to pull the country together?”  Saying finally, “Certainly didn’t happen there.”

And then it was during yet another bit of ‘fake news’ that Lemon’s network used the voices of a few supposed ‘professors’ and leftwing activists to assert anyone who voted for President Donald Trump is a white supremacist and proceeded to blame these “ordinary” people for the violence in Charlottesville.  CNN reported Trump voters helped advance white supremacy by giving them room to operate, basing its hit piece on the assertions of others in a piece headlined, “‘White Supremacists by default’: How ordinary people made Charlottesville possible.”  CNN reported, “It’s easy to focus on the angry white men in paramilitary gear who looked like they were mobilizing for a race war in the Virginia college town.”  And it also went on to report, “But it’s the ordinary people — the voters who elected a reality TV star with a record of making racially insensitive comments, the people who move out of the neighborhood when people of color move in, the family members who ignore a relative’s anti-Semitism — who give these type of men room to operate.”  That this remains how it is that so very many of those involved in the media continue to view things makes it all the more apparent just how far out of touch they have become with so many of the American people.  And their refusal to come to grips with the outcome of an election says much more about them than it does the American people.

CNN based it’s nonsensical assertions on views expressed by those whom they described as “activists, historians and victims of extremism,” and they made no visible effort to provide any sort of a counter point of view.  It was Fordham University professor Mark Naison, for example, who is quoted prominently in the piece accusing tens of millions of Americans of being white supremacists.  It was Naison who told CNN, “We are a country with a few million passionate white supremacists — and tens of millions of white supremacists by default.”  He compared all Trump voters to “nice people” who facilitated the horrific violence of the Holocaust and the genocide in Rwanda by looking the other way.  And it was in paraphrasing the comments of this clown that CNN reported, “That was the twisted formula that made the Holocaust and Rwanda possible and allowed Jim Crow segregation to survive: Nice people looked the other way while those with an appetite for violence did the dirty work.”  And then went on to say, “You have to have millions of people who are willing to be bystanders, who push aside evidence of racism, Islamophobia or sexism. You can’t have one without the other.”  A little reminder here in that the President during the Holocaust was FDR (a Democrat), who did nothing about it, and the President during the Rwandan Genocide was ‘Slick Willy’ Clinton (a Democrat) who did nothing about it.

CNN then proceeded to lay out its case against those who voted for Trump in which it referred to the four types of “ordinary people” who are to blame for the country’s racial divisions, at least according to “Naison and others.”  One group is “the ‘down-low’ segregationists, who say they’re against segregation but actively segregate themselves.  A second group is “those who say ‘yes, but…'” who are characterized in the report as those who condemn racism but at the same time qualify their condemnation.  Then there’s “those who choose chaos,” who CNN reports supported Trump for the entertainment factor.  And then, those who “look the other way.” CNN concluded, “If you want to know why those white racists now feel so emboldened, it may help to look at all the ordinary people around you, your neighbors, your family members, your leaders.  But first, start by looking at yourself.”  All this is a sure sign of how the Snowflakes and Social Justice Warriors there at CNN central seek to reinforce their world view by using left-wing academics.  No one at CNN is taken seriously when they attempt explanations of ongoing events.  Of course, that’s because their thinking is flawed and facile even by leftist standards.  And now they have done their best to prove just how bad their reasoning and judgement are by depending on those in academia with even less credibility than CNN has.

I am not a white supremacist and I resent the accusation!  But I do know that many folks of nearly every color who are tired of the race card being played just as they are tired of being attacked and blamed for things done many years ago, things they had nothing to do with.  The hate directed at Trump’s supporters, the violence perpetrated against them and the lies spread by those in the media have angered a great many people.  Face it, we have been under attack for almost two years now, practically since the very day Trump announced his candidacy.  We are constantly getting hit with all manner of vile accusation and when we respond we’re told we’re the violent ones.  We’ve defended ourselves verbally, we tried to have discussions and we’re screamed at and lied about.  What exactly do these media clowns expect?  What’s happening now by the rise of these groups is exactly what the left and media have been pushing for since Obummer.  They want civil war, they want the people angry and fighting with each other.  They want the destruction of this nation, which is why the right has been so tolerant and has taken so much.  But, I fear that Obummer, Soros and the media will soon get their way because we ALL have our limit.  One thing I will tell the media is that they are correct to be concerned!  Because if there is a war here in this nation, guess who will be taken out FIRST!

But all seriousness aside, why is it that everybody is giving CNN such a hard time?  After all, I thought it was pretty much common knowledge that every third American you run into these days is another Adolf Hitler, and the favorite American pastime, outside of Berkeley California, is burning crosses.  In fact, on my way into work this morning, I must have seen at least two dozen burning crosses.  Anybody who has been in America for more than a few days knows this is true, so don't shoot the messenger for merely calling a spade, a spade.  They’re just trying to do their job.  And if that weren't the case then how do you explain all those millions of people walking the streets in white sheets, giving the “Heil Hitler” salute to each other all day, every day?  Wake up and smell the coffee, folks, it's damn near everywhere.  I recently took my family to New York City, and there must have been at least 500 or more Klan members, complete with sheets and burning crosses, walking all around Times Square that day.  So I mean who can really blame those sincere and very dedicated ‘journalists’ seeking to do nothing more than to play the role of a modern day Paul Revere in their effort to warn the American people about who it is that they elected, and to chastise those who saw fit to vote for Donald Trump.  If only we had been smart enough to see how much better Hitlery would have been as president.  

BLACKS INSIST UPON BEING THEIR OWN WORST ENEMY…

Very little of what I hear these days, especially when it comes from those on the left, surprises me all that much.  But I must admit every once and a while I do come across something that causes me to take a step back and wonder just how it is that we, as a nation, have managed to fall so far.  I’ve never really considered myself a racist, because I believe what’s on the inside is far more important than what’s on the outside.  But I must admit that those within the black community do make it extremely difficult for the rest of us to offer up any sort of sympathy.  Most of the problems experienced by blacks are brought about by themselves.  And it only serves to make matters worse when those who could offer up some constructive criticism offer up, instead, nothing more than excuses for continuing bad behavior.

And while there are plenty of voices of reason there within the black community, sadly they seem far too few in number, and are rarely, if ever, actually listened to.  It is far more often than not that those voices of reason are simply drowned out by the voices of anarchy, lawlessness, and revolution simply because they are louder and can sound more appealing or even enticing.  Far more attention is paid to those who are far more interested in improving their own stature within the community than they are in what’s best for those within their own community.  And it’s rather unfortunate that the vast majority of blacks are either unable or unwilling to recognize these charlatans for what they really are.  Because if they were ever to do that their fortunes would substantially improve.   

All of which brings me to Ms. Chanelle Helm.  Now if you are unfamiliar with this genius, Ms. Helm is a cofounder and lead organizer for the ‘Black Lives Matter’ (BLM) chapter in Louisville, Kentucky.  And it’s as such that she has some very specific, albeit somewhat racist, ideas regarding white people and even came up with a list of 10 requests that were published at 'Leo Weekly'.  Helm said she’s been thinking about what should change in America and the voice inside her head sounded like “that Southern, black grandmama voice.”  Her list could be summed up like this: Dear white people, you should give away your home and/or property to a black or brown family in need.  She even goes as far as to say whites need to reprioritize their monthly budgets to include donations to blacks so they can purchase land.

So without further ado, here are the first six items on her list:

1. White people, if you don’t have any descendants, will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably one that lives in generational poverty.

2. White people, if you’re inheriting property you intend to sell upon acceptance, give it to a black or brown family. You’re bound to make that money in some other white privileged way.

3. If you are a developer or realty owner of multi-family housing, build a sustainable complex in a black or brown blighted neighborhood and let black and brown people live in it for free.

4. White people, if you can afford to downsize, give up the home you own to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

5. White people, if any of the people you intend to leave your property to are racists assholes, change the will, and will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

6. White people, re-budget your monthly so you can donate to black funds for land purchasing.

The last four descend into profanity and racism, not to mention illiteracy, so you will simply have to consider the source.  This is also the point at which all hope for taking this even remotely seriously goes completely out the window.  Helm thinks nosy white women should get their racist coworkers and bosses fired and if need be, use physical violence to fight white supremacy:

7. White people, especially white women (because this is yaw specialty — Nosey Jenny and Meddling Kathy), get a racist fired. Yaw know what the fuck they be saying. You are complicit when you ignore them. Get your boss fired cause they racist too.

8. Backing up No. 7, this should be easy but all those sheetless Klan, Nazi’s and Other lil’ dick-white men will all be returning to work. Get they ass fired. Call the police even: they look suspicious.

9. OK, backing up No. 8, if any white person at your work, or as you enter in spaces and you overhear a white person praising the actions from yesterday, first, get a pic. Get their name and more info. Hell, find out where they work — Get Them Fired. But certainly address them, and, if you need to, you got hands: use them.

10. Commit to two things: Fighting white supremacy where and how you can (this doesn’t mean taking up knitting, unless you’re making scarves for black and brown kids in need), and funding black and brown people and their work.

In a sense I think Ms. Helm represents much of what’s wrong within the black community today.  You see she thinks that black people shouldn’t be expected to work for those things they want, they should, instead, simply be provided with all manner of freebies and all paid for by whitey.  Now I realize that to expect blacks to actually work for a living and to also take some level of responsibility for their lives opens oneself up to being called a racist.  And while I am not a racist, what I am is someone who has become rather fed up with sending off more and more of my hard earned money to the government only to then watch as it handed over to those who view themselves as being above having to work for a living.  If it’s good enough for me, it should be good enough for them as well.     

And in all honesty I think that Ms. Helm is, in reality, likely to be someone who is simply trying make a name for herself!  But there’s no doubt that she’s a racist.  I’ve always found it a bit odd whenever I hear blacks make the claim that they can’t possibly be racist because they’re black.  But I have to say, some of the most racist people I’ve ever met are nearly always black.  My descendants came to this country after slavery came to an end, so neither I nor they had anything to do with it.  I have worked hard my entire life, and I spent over 20 years in the military.  And as far as I’m concerned the United States is the BEST country in the world and I consider myself blessed to live here.  If she had any brains, and genuinely cared about black folks, she’d recognize that as well.

However, the bottom line here is that the left has become quite adept, over the years, at using idiots like Ms. Helm as they go about their continuing effort to create and foment all manner of unrest and seek new and more effective ways to further divide the people of this country which they view as being a crucial political tactic and one that results in making it much easier for them to accomplish their rather sinister goals.  These useful idiots seek to either completely erase or, failing to accomplish that, thoroughly rewrite important chapters of our history and to alter our culture to the point where it would be nearly unrecognizable to past generations.  It is all part of the master plan to replace our government with that ever elusive Marxist utopia that they have been chasing now for decades.    

But one thing I actually do tend to agree with, and is something I hear those like Ms. Helm talking about quite frequently, is the concept of reparations.  But I have a slightly different take on the topic than does she and others like her.  I call it ‘reverse reparations’.  Because, you see, it’s to my way of thinking that all those millions of freeloaders out there who have been sponging off the taxpayers for decades, now owe those same U.S. taxpayers roughly $20 Trillion!  And that not just some arbitrary amount, that would be the amount that has been spent over the last 50 years in the effort to erase poverty.  You know those folks who while identified as living in poverty still own 2 color TVs, a couple of cars, smoke cigarettes, drink booze and pay for strippers all while using other people's money.

There has been for many years now this cockamamie sense of entitlement that becomes ingrained in some almost instantaneously upon leaving the womb, and it has got to come to an end.  Our welfare system created this mess.  Entitlements only cause harm to everyone.  The people paying for them get robbed, and the people on the receiving end get taught that they don't need a work ethic.  And let’s be real, blacks could dispossess every affluent white person of their property and distribute it to impoverished or struggling black people and within 20 years or less, those same white people would be affluent again, and the black people would be impoverished again.  Transferring wealth doesn't create success.  Only education and hard work can increase the odds of one becoming a bona fide success in America.

This ‘Black Lives Matter’ mentality as exhibited by Ms. Helm, is really nothing more than yet another dead end for blacks.  Nothing beats a good education and a solid work ethic to create the best opportunity for success.  People who complain about Trump's father giving him everything miss the point. The best thing Trump's father did was to teach his son about business, not give him money to begin his business.  Without those skills a person would quickly lose their inheritance and never be able to regain it.  On the other hand, someone who learns a skill, that person will be able to start from nothing and continue to move up the ladder.  As they take risks, they may slip along the way but with perseverance and hard work to go along with those skills, will be able to recover and continue climbing.

That process becomes more difficult when there is nobody to help a child learn a skill or a business, either at home or at school.  Our schools don't even bother teaching kids how to balance a checkbook let alone teach a skills or the habits that will help create a self-sufficient adult.  Why is that?  Because ‘progressives’ have run the schools for the last half century.  They teach black kids that they will have to work twice as hard to get half as far, that society is against them and that half the country is racist.  If you were taught that in lieu of how to become a responsible adult, would you bother trying in school and take it upon yourself to learn a skill or would you be more likely to give up, drop out, and try to destroy society?  Our society is reaping the results of ‘progressive’ ideology with no plan B in sight.

Look, it’s never a good idea to create a sense of entitlement in humans, it’s a bad idea right from the start.  Because there is no respect or real appreciation for those things that come too easily.  Just look at the people who get everything for ‘free’. For example, when was the last time you saw public housing?  There is nothing wrong with a little tough love!  In America today the opportunities out there to become successful are limitless.  One need only to get off the couch, get off welfare, make it their everyday job to FIND A JOB and then plan for their future accordingly.  The opportunities are there, you just have to want it bad enough.  But it's now been made so easy to do nothing and to get paid for it that so many people, and not just blacks, now seem genetically predisposed to being lazy.

THE RACIST ‘CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS’ NOW FAVORS IMPEACHING TRUMP…

As most of you know there is, in Congress, this rather odd assortment of bizarre individuals commonly referred to as the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC).  And it is the leader of this group who recently stated that his group is now weighing whether to join Democrat attempts to impeach President Donald Trump.  This band of racist misfits made the announcement on Monday during a call with the media.  Democrat Cedric Richmond, the chairman of the CBC, announced he is planning a meeting to decide if the members of his caucus will join impeachment efforts.  It was during a conference call that he said, “You can make an argument based on pure competency and fitness to serve, and that’s the conversation the caucus will have.” And he went onto say, “Am I concerned about high crimes and misdemeanors? Absolutely. Am I concerned about this president’s fitness to serve? Absolutely.” 

Other members of this dysfunctional and corrupt group, Democrats Al Green and ‘Mad Maxine’ Waters, have also repeatedly called for the impeachment of Trump.  It was back in June, after a few people were handcuffed during a protest against the health care reform bill, that that racist loon ‘Mad Maxine’ said, “Instead of disabled people in wheelchairs, the only person who should be dragged anywhere is Trump — down the hall, to impeachment.”  And am I the only one who sees the irony here in that the one thing, and I mean the ONLY thing, that prevented Obummer from being impeached was the fact that he’s black?  Because never, at any time in our nation’s history, had there ever been a man who had demonstrated less competency or less fitness to serve as president than did Barack Hussein Obama!  And now these racist hooligans want to throw our WHITE president out office?  And for what?  Being white?

And apparently Richmond has also seen fit to ask several historically black colleges to cancel a meeting with the Trump administration currently scheduled for next month in light of Trump’s supposedly ‘insensitive’ comments regarding the Charlottesville, Va., riots.  Give me a break!  He said the president’s comments showed a lack of concern and compassion for black students.  Trump first blamed “many sides” for the violence during the riots, and then explicitly called out neo-Nazis, the Klu Klux Klan and white supremacists a day later.  Omasoa Manigault, an aide to Trump, has said that the White House had no plans to cancel the upcoming meeting with historically black colleges and universities.  Apparently, the president and CEO of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund has also asked the colleges to pause the meeting, again citing concerns over Trump’s reaction to the white supremacist rally in Virginia.

So let me get this straight: We're supposed to tolerate this group of people who are so fixated on race that they formed their own little clique which then does not allow people of other races to join, and who use their political power to advance only the interests of those who are of the same race?  Obviously the ‘Congressional Black Caucus’ is a racist group created for no other reason than the specific purpose of advancing discrimination against anyone who isn't black.  And it would seem that this group of racist malcontents views working to derail President Trump and the tearing down of historic statues as being far more important than trying to figure out why blacks are killing blacks in record numbers and in so many our Democrat controlled cities or why Planned Parenthood is permitted to murder thousands of black babies every single year.  Go figure!

And perhaps if more of our so-called black ‘activists’ were willingly to sit down and have a serious “discussion” about race in America, then we as a nation would be much better off.  But instead, far too many of these ‘activists’ seem far more interested in being nothing more than agitators and thugs.  But hey, who can really blame them?   First they were slaves on plantations controlled by Democrats and now, 150 years later, they're still slaves, on a plantation called the Democrat Party.  At least back then, their slavery was pretty much restricted to the south.  These days it seems to be just about everywhere.  The black culture in America is a failed one, and has been ever since they collectively sold their soul back in the 60s in exchange for government goodies.  What began as a Republican Civil Rights agenda, became a Democrat dependency/perpetual victimhood way of life.

And why is it that we have a Congressional Black Caucus in the first place?  I mean, what function does it perform, other than as a means of bringing racism into the halls of Congress?  And the fact that some of its members actually worked and marched with Dr. King leaves me scratching my head.  I mean, maybe, just maybe, they should reflect on that and start calling out the segregationist policies that the left and progressives are proposing for safe houses, black only campus days, etc.  They have been deafeningly quiet when it comes to this form of segregation.  If Confederate statues are being removed because they represent men who fought for the South and thus for slavery, then the CBC should also support the removal of MLK from history's celebration of desegregation because current blacks seem to be very much in favor of the left’s very clear desire for a resurgence of segregation.

And the fact that these progressive Black geniuses don't like this president surely must mean that he's a “racist” deserving of impeachment, right?  Never mind rational thought, commonsense, and the Constitution.  If these black Democrats say impeachment is in order, then that's that.  Case closed, right?  Well, that’s only because this racist bunch of sociopaths has already ‘weighed’ their collective brains and come up with zero, zip, zilch, nada and they've run out of other stupid things to do or say.  They're doing nothing more than to work to protect their little piece of racist turf.  If they can't keep the pot of racism bubbling, they know they'll all be looking for real jobs, and we know none of them are up to that task since there isn’t a functioning brain cell that can be found anywhere among them.  If it weren't for ignorant Democrat voters they'd have been kicked to curb long ago.

And personally, it’s to my way of thinking that we could make the same ‘competency and fitness to serve’ argument against every one of the members of this odd assortment of racist scum.  I mean, seriously folks, what have any one of them ever accomplished for anyone other than themselves.  And if this is going to be the standard by which we measure one’s suitability for public service then most of those in this little group would likely end up being impeached for being racists and as such unfit to serve in any capacity above dog catcher.  And in a way I hope they do decide to toss their colored hat into the impeachment ring!  America is already growing sick and tired of race based groups and this will only serve to make it just that much worse.  The working class know the Democrats and Republicans have it in for them, Trump is the ONLY person standing up for them. 

Where’s their concern when it comes to how many blacks were shot in Chicago last weekend, or so far this year?  Or how many were shot during all of last year?  All we hear from them is, “Vote for us because Republicans are evil.”  Yet after 60 years, or longer, of Democrats running nearly every big city in America, most continue to suck for black people who remain stuck in living in them.  These pathetic old fools don't want to help black folks, because their whole reason to exist as a caucus in the first place is so they can better perpetuate their racial grievances.  And either they fail to realize or are too stupid to understand that the Democrats only tolerate them because of their votes and the fact that they are for sale for the right price.  If they truly cared about the black people, they would first and foremost take care of your own constituencies, which are truly worse than many third world ghettos. 

Sure, why not continue to support the party of slavery. You’d think these racist frauds would spend a little time reading up on American history and after doing so give the Democrats a swift kick in the ass plus a short goodbye.  But instead they continue to keep their black constituents un or under educated, jobless, dependent on government services, in crumbling, crime filled inner cities and without hope. Worthless politicians who will once again suck up to the party of racism.  The racist CBC members will almost certainly vote to support impeaching Trump although they cannot identify any high crimes or misdemeanors that he has committed. The racist radical left wing black caucus does not believe in the Constitution or the rule of law.  Imagine if whites in Congress formed a Congressional White Caucus.  Democrats are determined to make the U.S. look like Venezuela.  Or worse. 

And finally, the hypocrisy of those on the left, including the members of this rather unique group of angry black folks, becomes all the more obvious when one comes to understand that it’s at the same time that the Democrats accuse President Trump and millions of his supporters of being white supremacists that they worship one of the most prominent white supremacist this country has ever produced.  That being, of course, Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, the butcher of tens of millions of innocent babies.  And equally hypocritical are their accusations that those on the right are neo-Nazis.  Hypocritical because one of the biggest supporters of progressive causes, the Hungarian Jew and know Nazi sympathizer, George Soros.  And yet this leftist scum has the nerve to accuse our president and his supporters of being something that they know that they are not.  And I find it disgusting!  

DESPITE ALL THE NEGATIVE CHATTER, PRESIDENT TRUMP IS WINNING…

If you happen to be one of the millions of folks who depend on our ‘usual suspects’ in the state-controlled media for their up-to-date political news and information, then you most likely feel as if America is on the verge of a complete meltdown and all due, of course, to the supposed chaos stemming from the Trump administration.  And of course by ‘usual suspects’ I mean: the state-controlled media complex, both print and broadcast; silly local news programming; or popular online newsies such as Yahoo, Facebook, along with any number others.  However, what’s important to keep in mind here is that the long term goal for all those involved in bringing to you what is being described as ‘news’, is to wear you down, if not wear you out, until you finally agree with them that President Trump must go.

And as the stakes rise with each new Trump achievement, the rhetoric from these sources of supposed news and information only becomes more extreme.  And as it does, the decibel level of its delivery also increases because apparently those who live to express outrage at everything President Trump says, feel that if they voice their outrage louder they will somehow be taken more seriously.  That's what happens when your cherished assumptions are essentially disproven day after day.  It's comical and yet also understandable.  No one likes to admit when they’re wrong.  Or that they are wrong on pretty much a daily basis.  It's embarrassing and humiliating – especially if you’re touted as being some sort of a ‘journalistic’ expert, and for no other reason than because you’re on television.

That's why you hear little or nothing about:

1.  The current NAFTA negotiations

2.  Kim Jong-un blinking

3.  China threatening a trade war and then blinking

4.  The U.S. becoming a net energy exporter

5.  Our diminishing trade imbalance

6.  The amazing rise to nearly 4% GDP growth in the 2017 third quarter

7.  Forecasters suggesting that GDP could grow to 5 or 6% annualized

8.  A rise in manufacturing investments in the U.S.

9.  More full-time jobs among the middle class 

10. The significant increase in black employment

11. The continuing fall of ISIS in the Middle East

12. Wall Street's record highs as they turn to embrace Main Street

13. The public's opposition to the destruction of historic statues and memorials

14. An abhorrence of radical and violent activists on all sides, most all of whom abide on the left fringe

15. Russian collusion

16. Immigration

And on and on…

And something else you’ve likely heard very little, if anything, about is the fact that to date President Trump has now nominated 44 federal judges and scored eight confirmations, including Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch.  Eleven of the president's nominations are to circuit courts and 23 are to district courts.  The nine others are to specialty courts such as the Court of Claims, the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, and the U.S. Tax Court.  While the Supreme Court was a paramount issue during the 2016 presidential campaign, President Trump entered office with about twice as many lower court vacancies as did predecessor Barry Obummer, presenting him with what can be described as a golden opportunity to reshape the federal bench in a very significant, meaningful, and positive, way.

By comparison, Obummer had nominated 15 district and 12 circuit nominees during his entire first year in office, as well as nominating Sonia Sotomayor to an open seat on the Supreme Court.  During that first year, Obummer scored 10 confirmations by the Senate, including Sotomayor's.  In the first 200 days of 2009, he nominated only five appeals judges and four district judges.  So while President Trump has taken a certain amount of criticism for not filling executive branch jobs more quickly, the same cannot be said for the number of appointments he has made to the judiciary.  And it in that regard that is he is also surpassing Presidents George W. Bush and ‘Slick Willy’ Clinton in the first 200 days.  Personally, I’m thinking that’s it is those appointments that are the priority. 

So make no mistake, despite all of the chatter from the left, President Trump is winning, and winning BIGLY.  It's almost become too easy.  He's focused on results, period.  The rest is just distraction, much of it orchestrated by anti-Trumpers who insist that you really can get a different result if you repeat the same experiment enough times.  They still don't get it, because they don't want to get it.  They have dug in their heels.  That's why I find it funny.  Trump is playing them every step of the way.   The people who get it are the American workers – the ones who watch Dirty Jobs, follow Mike Rowe on Facebook, and are happy to find an extra two hundred dollars at the end of the month.  Soon enough, others will, too.  It just takes time.  President Trump is making it happen before our very eyes.

But even with all that said, it would seem that the further we proceed into the Trump presidency, it becomes increasingly obvious that those on the left remain unable to move beyond what they still view as being the unthinkable disaster they experienced in November 2016 – when Donald Trump, widely dismissed as the joke candidate, actually and rather decisively defeated their state-approved candidate, Hitlery.  The continued unraveling of those on the left reveals itself in more ways than can be counted and that would take up more space here to list than I care to sacrifice to their stupidity.  And what seems so bizarre is their strange desire to enter the fray against historical opponents long ago vanquished, using the recent "Unite the Right" rally and violence in Charlottesville as an excuse.

And while the warriors who defeated the South were able to make peace with ‘Johnny Reb’, even celebrating anniversaries with their Southern adversaries, the heroes of the Union, having rendered the emblems of secession harmless, did not strive to tear them down.  But the left, whose members have fought and defeated nothing, now want to wage war against inanimate objects.  Before long, they'll be wanting to unearth all the remains of the Confederate dead.  The American Civil War and World War II were won a long time ago.  For sensible people, this fact tends to prevent declaring these wars all over again.  But for the left, the exact opposite is true.  These are the fights it longs for.  Its bogus battlers truly need to fight someone else's old wars all over again.  It's the only way that losers can win.

And it’s the Crappy News Network (CNN) contributor, presidential historian, and left-wing Democrat, Douglas Brinkley, who has supplied us with an actual number, claiming that it’s “10 to 15 percent of Trump’s base who are KKK white nationalists and alt-right racists.”  Really?  Given that Trump received about 63 million votes, that would mean that close to 10 million are Ku Klux Klan (KKK) members or racists.  The broader implication is that those of us who voted for Donald Trump and still support him are all racists.  As if calling us names will somehow make us change our minds.  Sorry folks, but I’m still of the opinion that Donald Trump, on his absolute worst day as president, would be far better than having Hitlery on what would have been her best day.  It’s just that simple! 

And have you ever wondered just how big this racist Trump base might actually be?  Well, according to the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center, it estimates that there are between 5,000 and 8,000 KKK members in the U.S.  Which would equate to roughly 0.003 percent of the entire population.  For comparison, Evan McMullin, you all remember him, received 700,000 presidential votes in 2016.  The KKK couldn’t even affect McMullin’s vote tally in any meaningful way.  The KKK as a voting bloc might influence a mayoral election in some small town but in the presidential election, they are far less than a rounding error.  Far more dead persons vote than do KKK members.  What about Nazis?  Hard to track but estimates are a few thousand.  Likely in the same range of the KKK.

And it’s also the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center that identifies 917 hate groups in the U.S., not counting, of course, the Democrat Party.  But that should be taken with a grain of salt as this self-denoted arbiter of hate chooses to identify “White Lives Matter” as a hate group but not “Black Lives Matter.”  I suppose hate can be said to be in the eye of the beholder and that a chant of "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon" by Black Lives Matter represents cooking instructions rather than hate toward police.  But that said, let’s be generous and say there are a few hundred thousand various Nazi, KKK or white supremacists in America.  By comparison, I’m told that 16 million Americans believe Elvis Presley is still alive.  Now that’s a voting bloc that any presidential candidate would want in their camp.

And a few hundred thousand, assuming they all voted for Trump and none voted for Hitlery, influenced an election where 130 million votes were cast?  But did they all vote for Trump?  What about Hitlery?  After all it was a KKK Grand Dragon who actually endorsed Hitlery for president.  Never mind Trump-Russian collusion, what about possible Hitlery-KKK collusion?  Instead the media and the Democrats should be concerned that one of their own is part of this supposed Trump base.  Jason Kessler, organizer of the Charlottesville ‘white supremacist rally’ is rumored to be a former ‘Occupy Wall Street’ hooligan and an Obummer supporter.  Or that baseball shooter James Hodgkinson was a Bernie Sanders supporter and left-wing activist.  Yes, when talking about the left, truth is stranger than fiction.

It’s the hard-core Democrat base that seems to be behind most of the recent violence, not Trump supporters.  But the state-controlled media complex wants to paint all Trump voters as Nazi-KKK-white supremacists in their effort to try to delegitimize both his presidency and his agenda.  All with the willing assistance of such RINO useful idiots as Romney, McCain, Graham and Rubio to name only a few, who never miss an opportunity to dump on Trump, going so far as to even embrace the Antifa thugs.  No wonder the White House has eluded all four of them.  So as I have said before the president is going to require some assistance in his effort to drain ‘The Swamp’, and that’s where we who support him come in.  And our chance to pitch in comes November of next year!
