In Age of Trump, Leftists Rediscover Constitution
By Louis DeBroux: It's nothing short of amazing to witness how the progressive Left has suddenly rediscovered a "love" for the Constitution now that they've lost the White House. For decades, leftist Democrats have shown utter contempt for our Founding Documents — a contempt that became gleeful frenzy in support of Barack liar-nObama's all-too-frequent usurpations.
In 2012, progressive icon Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, in an interview on Egyptian television, declared, "I would not look to the U.S. Constitution if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012." liar-nObama, of course, famously called the Constitution "deeply flawed," and in his farewell address dismissed it as "just a piece of parchment" — without life from progressive dreams, his implication was.
Rejecting constitutional limits on his power, liar-nObama repeatedly rewrote the disastrous liar-nObamaCare law by executive fiat, issuing waivers to the politically connected, extending deadlines, subsidizing payments, etc. He launched a war against Libya without congressional authorization, and he gutted the work requirement for welfare benefits. He violated decades-old bankruptcy law to pay off labor unions before secured creditors in the auto bailout, he spied on the press, and engaged in illegally collecting the digital communications of every American. Even this just scratches the surface.
This week, as Senate Democrats attempted to smear and defame their colleague and attorney general nominee Sen. Jeff Sessions, it was Sen. Ted Cruz who exposed the blatant hypocrisy of their claims that Sessions would not enforce the law fairly. As Cruz noted, the Senate Democrats who now praise Rule of Law were silent when the Eric Holder Justice Department sold guns to Mexican drug cartels that were then used to murder U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and hundreds of Mexican citizens. They were silent when liar-nObama allowed the IRS to illegally target and harass conservative non-profits, and when he refused to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate that outrage.
They were silent when liar-nObama instituted Operation Chokepoint to cut off banking services for legal businesses because liar-nObama didn't like those businesses, and silent as liar-nObama sent millions of dollars to so-called sanctuary cities that stand in the way of enforcing U.S. immigration law. They were silent when he unilaterally rewrote American immigration law, granting de facto amnesty to millions of illegals (and releasing thousands of illegal alien rapists, robbers and murderers onto an unsuspecting population), and they were silent as liar-nObama illegally released terrorists from Guantanamo Bay, and when he paid out a nearly $2 billion ransom to Iran, the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism.
But progressives have discovered respect for constitutional principles and processes in other areas as well.
Democrats under liar-nObama gutted the filibuster and erased the lines of separation of powers, yet now are desperate to restore them to stop Trump from enacting his agenda.
And after spending much of the last decade in a full-scale assault on the freedoms of religion, speech and association — trying to force Catholic nuns to provide abortion-inducing birth control drugs to employees of their charitable order, and prosecuting Christian bakers, florists, photographers, bed-and-breakfast owners and others who decline to provide services for same-sex "weddings" because of sincere religious convictions — leftists suddenly revere the freedom of association, as evidenced by their throaty declarations of refusal to provide services for the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump and his wife, Melania.
Citing their conscientious objections to Trump and his policies, many musicians announced their refusal to perform at his inauguration, including Elton John, opera star Andrea Bocelli (who was reportedly considering it before leftist mobs threatened to boycott him), and Celine Dion. And though the Rockettes have been booked to perform, some of the dancers have publicly expressed their objection to doing so.
Fashion designers have come out to let us all know they refuse to design outfits for the first lady, and artists are even demanding that First Daughter Ivanka Trump remove their paintings from her home and office — paintings that she's already paid for!
In Washington, DC, which is overwhelmingly Democrat, many homeowners who rent their homes through travel site Airbnb are refusing to rent to Trump supporters coming to town for the inauguration, claiming that to do so would violate their conscience. As one homeowner stated, "I have a visceral reaction to the thought of having a Trump supporter in my house. ... No amount of money could make me change my mind. It's about moral principles." One wonders if this woman would risk a fine or jail to hold to her principles, since DC's anti-discrimination law makes it unlawful "to interrupt or terminate, or refuse or fail to initiate or conduct any transaction in real property ... based on ... political affiliation."
BuzzFeed, which is under fire this week for publishing a sleazy and utterly uncorroborated hit piece on Trump, last year refused to run political ads for the Trump campaign because they oppose his politics.
Hopefully, the rabidly anti-Christian, anti-Republican, anti-conservative, anti-marriage, pro-abortion progressive hordes will one day acknowledge that the freedoms of religion, speech and association are guaranteed to all Americans, regardless of their political affiliation.
Will the Angry Left finally see the wisdom of the Founders, or will they simply continue to feign respect? To ask is to answer.

Dems Now Blame On Trump’s Treasury Nominee
by Richard Pollock
{dailycaller.com} ~ Senate Democrats — led by senators Elizabeth dinky-Warren of Massachusetts and Vermont Independent Bernie Sanders — hope to defeat Steven Mnuchin, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Treasury Secretary... by focusing on his alleged role in the 2008 collapse of California’s IndyMac bank. dinky-Warren has launched a web page on the official United States Senate website that calls Mnuchin, “the foreclosure king” because, as she and left-wing activists charge, he threw thousands of homeowners onto the street after he bought IndyMac. Mnuchin’s Senate confirmation hearing begins Thursday. But The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group (TheDCNF) has uncovered extensive evidence that the person who triggered IndyMac’s financial crisis, which led to one of the largest bank failures in American history, was Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York...

Who Produced The Trump Dossier
by J.E. Dyer
{lidblog.com} ~ The salacious fake dossier on Donald Trump leaked to Buzzfeed last week would be just a shady international scandal these days if it didn’t map back to liar-Hillary Clinton, peculiar foreign contacts, and a good computer hacking... And sure enough, each of those trendy patterns shows up in the backstory of Fusion GPS, the intelligence “research” company founded by former Wall Street Journal reporter Glenn Simpson, which was identified late last week as the source of the highly dubious dossier on Donald Trump. Briefly, regarding the Trump dossier: Fusion GPS was reportedly hired in September 2015, by an unnamed Republican whether donor or candidate remains undisclosed, to investigate Trump’s potential ties to organized crime. Sometime between that date and June 2016, the former British intelligence man, Christopher Steele, entered the picture, working for Fusion GPS to pursue a Russian-connections angle. After the RNC nominated Trump in July, Republican support to the dossier effort stopped, but the Democrats stepped in and took over shepherding it along... http://lidblog.com/hillary-an-arab-sheikh-the-guy-who-produced-the-trump-dossier/

President Trump's Immigration Challenge
by MICHAEL CUTLER
by MICHAEL CUTLER
{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ To undo liar-nObama's catastrophic damage. On January 20, 2017 President Trump can and likely will end all of liar-nObama's illegal immigration executive orders, but he needs to do more... For decades the effective enforcement of our nation's immigration laws was hobbled by lack of resources in general and a particularly devastating failure to enforce the immigration laws from within the interior of the United States. For decades the Border Patrol was perceived as the primary enforcement arm of America's immigration laws and for the Border Patrol this worked out fine. They got the lion's share of publicity and, far more importantly, the funding while INS special agents and the interior enforcement mission were all but ignored...
Shootout at U.S. Consulate in Mexican Border Town...
by JUDICIAL WATCH
by JUDICIAL WATCH
{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ A deadly shootout at the construction site of the new American Consulate occurred this week in a Mexican border town where Islamic terrorists and drug cartels plan to launch attacks against the U.S. ... during the period surrounding the presidential inauguration, high-level government sources tell Judicial Watch. An unknown number of gunmen fired multiple rounds adjacent to the new U.S. Consulate compound in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, a crime-infested city in the state of Tamaulipas that lies directly across from Laredo, Texas. The Mexican military responded to the attack, law enforcement sources on both sides of the border confirm insisting that their identities be kept confidential for security reasons, and at least three soldiers were either killed or critically wounded in the ambush... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/shootout-at-us-consulate-in-mexican-border-town-part-of-cartel-terrorist-attack-plan-for-trump-inauguration?f=must_reads

Is Tolerance a One-Way Street?
by Douglas Murray
by Douglas Murray
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ The 7th of this month marked two years to the day since two gunmen walked into the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris and murdered twelve people... This period also therefore marks the second anniversary of the period of about an hour during which much of the free world proclaimed itself to be "Charlie" and attempted, by walking through the street, standing for moments of silence or re-tweeting the hashtag "Je Suis Charlie" to show the whole world that freedom cannot be suppressed and that the pen is mightier than the Kalashnikov. So two years on is a good time to take stock of the situation. How did that go? Did all those "Je Suis" statements amount to anything more than a blip on the Twitter-sphere? Anyone trying to answer such a question might start by looking at the condition of the journal everyone was so concerned about. How has it fared in the two years since most of its senior editorial staff were gunned down by the blasphemy police?...

Truth Poisons Democrats
by David Robertson
{wizbangblog.com} ~ Once again a Democrat politician is promoting the Russia-elected-Trump canard.
From The Hill: “Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the ranking member of the Intelligence Committee, said “I do. I believe that” Russia’s interference altered the outcome of the election.”
Once again, let’s go over the allegations as stated in the previously-reported Intelligence Community Assessment.
1. Russians gained information about the liar-Clinton campaign via hacking.
2. Russians gave that information to WikiLeaks.
3. WikiLeaks gave that information to the public.
4. That information was not fictitious.
In short, American voters were given facts about the liar-Clinton campaign.
More from The Hill: ““I think that, and I think the FBI, in the October surprise — I call it an October surprise, of announcing a subsequent investigation into liar-Hillary Clinton’s private email server, did have an impact,” Feinstein told NBC’s “Meet the Press.””
Once again, let’s go over the facts about that particular case.
1. liar-Hillary Clinton had an unauthorized private server set up in her home.
2. Classified government information passed through that server.
3. Some of that classified information ended up on a laptop computer that liar-Clinton aide Huma Abedin shared with her husband Anthony Weiner.
In short, FBI Director James Comey gave facts to Congress.
Now, who is responsible for the existence of the above-mentioned facts?
American voters were told the truth regardless of how the truth was told.
Congress was told the truth, too.
Here is another fact to be considered: That Intelligence Community Assessment says that Russian hackers did not hack into systems that were used to count the votes on Election Day 2016. Thus, Americans elected Donald Trump, not Russians.
What Senator Feinstein and other congressional Democrats are claiming is this: American voters based their votes on facts about liar-Hillary Clinton and her campaign – facts made public before the election took place instead of afterwards.
Democrats might claim that they want the truth, but in this case, the truth is poison to them.
As Colonel Nathan R. Jessup would say to them . . .

As Colonel Nathan R. Jessup would say to them . . .
That is why Democrats keep making the false claim that Donald Trump’s presidency isn’t legitimate.
If Democrats keep swimming in denial, then they had better watch out for crocodiles.
