However, in the race for governor, Republican Ron DeSantis maintained more than a 33,000 vote margin over Democrat socialist-Andrew Gillum after the machine recount, which is beyond the minimum threshold required for triggering a second hand recount. And yet socialist-Gillum still refuses to concede defeat. Why?
Then there’s the Georgia governor’s election, where Democrat Stacey Abrams has no chance of making up the deficit to Republican Brian Kemp, and yet she continues to press the courts to allow the counting of previously rejected ballots. She hopes find enough votes not to make up the mathematically insurmountable deficit to Kemp but to shrink his percentage down below 50% and thereby trigger a runoff.
It is highly unlikely that Democrats will succeed in their efforts to steal the elections in Florida and Georgia, so why all the lawsuits and delay tactics? It’s all designed to create a narrative for the future, while at the same time seeking to diminish the legitimacy of the vote if it goes the Republicans’ way. The narrative? The only reason Republicans won was because they suppressed the vote by refusing to accept “thousands” of votes and therefore they are a danger to the democratic process itself. Never mind that there is not a shred of evidence supporting this spurious accusation, and in fact, that Democrats were the ones caught engaging in lawless behavior. The mainstream media will happily “remind” voters come next election how Republicans sought to suppress the vote and the “will of the people” in Florida and Georgia, while conveniently ignoring Democrat shenanigans. Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election have nothing on Democrat schemes to undermine election integrity. ~The Patriot Post

Prompted by lowlife-Harris’s questions about Vitello’s years-old social media post about the Democrat Party being “liberalcratic” or “NeoKlanist,” here’s the relevant exchange:
Vitiello: “The Klan was what we could call today a domestic terrorist group.”
lowlife-Harris: “Why? Why would we call them a domestic terrorist group?”
Vitiello: “Because they tried to use fear and force to change the political environment.”
lowlife-Harris: “And what was the motivation for the use of fear and force?”
Vitiello: “It was based on race and ethnicity.”
lowlife-Harris: “Right. Are you aware of the perception of many about how the power and discretion at ICE is being used to enforce the laws? And do you see any parallels?”
Vitiello: “I do not see any parallels between sworn officers and agents…”
lowlife-Harris: “I’m talking about perception.”
Vitiello: “I do not see a parallel between what is constitutionally mandated as it relates to enforcing the law.
lowlife-Harris: "Are you aware that there’s a perception? Are you aware that there’s a perception?”
Vitiello: “I see no perception that puts ICE in the same category as the KKK…”
lowlife-Harris: “I’m not finished. I’m not finished. I’m not finished. Are you aware that there is a perception that ICE is administering its power in a way that is causing fear and intimidation, particularly among immigrants and specifically among immigrants coming from Mexico and Central America?”
Surely, lowlife-Harris just overlooked the fact that more than half of all Border Patrol agents are Hispanic or Latino.
The senator’s outrageous race-bait badgering is meant for two purposes: One, #Resistance cred for her 2020 presidential bid. Two, showmanship to create the perception of racist law enforcement she insists is already there.
To the extent that the perception of racism at ICE already exists, it is because Democrats have strategically fomented it for craven political gain. Democrats began a small movement to abolish ICE this past summer. While Harris stopped just short of fully jumping on that bandwagon, she attacked the agency anyway, saying, “We need to probably think about starting from scratch.” The abolition movement even led to multiple violent protests. Coincidentally we’re sure, this Demo trial balloon was followed by three caravans from Central America aiming to enter the U.S. illegally and then demand asylum.
lowlife-Harris wanted to know what Vitiello would do to fix the perception (she helped create). He responded that, for one thing, he’d defend the agency against “misleading rhetoric and misinformation.” That pretty well indicts every elected Democrat. ~The Patriot Post

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Israel’s security cabinet’s decision Tuesday afternoon to walk away from the war Hamas initiated Monday and to accept a “ceasefire” is frustrating and infuriating. Hamas shot nearly 500 projectiles into Israel in under 24 hours. It blew up a bus with a Kornet anti-tank missile. Sixty Israelis were wounded, several critically. One civilian was killed. Numerous homes were destroyed.
Israel has never experienced any rocket onslaught from Gaza remotely as intense as what Hamas and Islamic Jihad shot off on Monday and Tuesday. And yet, rather than respond with equal – or better yet – far greater force and teach Hamas and Islamic Jihad a lesson they would long remember, the security cabinet sufficed with a couple hundred pinpoint air attacks, and then accepted the IDF’s advice and opted for the ceasefire. In so doing, they left the residents of southern Israel virtual hostages of Hamas and Islamic Jihad who have retained the capacity to attack them at will.
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman’s sudden resignation on Wednesday may help his little party Yisrael Beitenu get reelected to Knesset in the next elections. But if it does, then Liberman will have won his political survival at Israel’s expense. Hamas is entirely justified in presenting Liberman’s resignation as proof that it defeated Israel this week.
Winners don’t quit. Losers do.
But beyond being frustrating and infuriating, the cabinet’s decision is a cause for deep concern. Why did the cabinet opt to stand down in the face of Hamas’s unprecedented onslaught?
Leaving concerns about the prospect of war in the north with Iran, Hezbollah and Syria out of the picture for a moment, there are on the face of things, two basic explanations for the cabinet’s decision. First, maybe the Whats App jokes making the rounds are right. Maybe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his ministers are a bunch of stupid chickens. Liberman effectively accused them of stupidity and cowardice at his press conference Tuesday afternoon when he announced his resignation. But there is no evidence that Netanyahu is stupid. To the contrary. As for fear, there is ample evidence that if he and his ministers were fearful, they have good reason to be deeply worried.
This brings us to the second and more realistic reason to view the cabinet’s decision to stand down in the face of Hamas’s aggression as a bright red warning light. The source of that concern is the IDF’s General Staff.
Israel does not seek to overthrow the Hamas regime in Gaza. And for good reason. The price of a war to overthrow Hamas would be exorbitant both in terms of the human and monetary cost of war. And the return would be dubious at best. Israel doesn’t have an army big enough to spare three divisions to control a post-Hamas Gaza. The other option often touted by the far Left is that Israel pay the price of overthrowing Hamas and then hand Gaza over to the PLO. The PLO, though, is no less hostile than Hamas. Israel has no interest whatsoever in empowering the PLO by giving it Gaza.
Given the absence of a better alternative to Hamas in Gaza, rather than work to overthrow the terror regime, Israel has focused its efforts on keeping Hamas as weak as possible. And so, since Hamas took over Gaza in 2007, Israel’s effective strategy for dealing with the terror regime can be equated to mowing the grass. Every time Hamas becomes too powerful, Israel finds itself in another round of war with it. The purpose of Israel’s operations is to cut Hamas down to size and walk away, until the next round of war.
But this week, Hamas made clear that Israel needs to mow it down. A terror regime capable of sending 500 projectiles into Israeli territory in less than 24 hours and destroying a bus with an anti-tank missile is a terror regime that has become too powerful.
So why didn’t the cabinet order the IDF to mow the grass in Gaza? Why didn’t our leaders order the IDF to kill Hamas commanders Yahye Sinwar and Ismail Haniyeh? Why didn’t they order the IDF to destroy the rocket launchers and the crews that operate them? Why didn’t they order the IDF to destroy Hamas’s bases and missile depots?
There are two possible explanations for their decision not to give these orders. Taken separately and together they point to an acute problem with the IDF’s senior ranks that requires immediate attention.
One explanation has been highlighted by retired senior IDF commanders and Yediot Aharonot’s military commentator Yossi Yehoshua. This explanation argues that the cabinet decision to stand down on Tuesday owed to the General Staff’s refusal to take the actions necessary to cut Hamas down to size. The General Staff’s refusal, they say, stems from the role lawyers are now playing in the IDF’s targeting decisions.
Since Operation Cast Lead in 2008-2009, military lawyers have been attached to fighting units down to the battalion level. These attorneys are allegedly prohibiting required action by claiming that strategically significant and operationally vital actions like killing Hamas commanders and bombing rocket launching units constitute war crimes.
Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Gadi Eisenkot has demonstrated for years that he is willing to subordinate trigger pullers to attorneys who do not suffer the consequences of their lenient interpretations of the actions of Israel’s enemies. He elevated Military Advocate General Sharon Afeq to the rank of Major General. He supports indicting combat soldiers for alleged violent crimes on the basis of radical legal interpretations of actions in battle. The message Eisenkot has communicated to everyone from platoon leaders to division commanders is that they must subordinate their actions to the judgment of lawyers who have no command responsibilities.
It is important to point out that the “international law” being implemented by IDF commanders through military lawyers is not actually the law as written. It is a radical, ideological interpretation of general principles of international law.
For instance, there is no explicit, universally applied determination of what a “proportionate” response to aggression is. Everything is a judgment call. And the judgment that the IDF has internalized through its lawyers is the one pronounced by antisemitic UN agencies and antagonistic self-declared “human rights” organizations. Namely, that Israel is guilty until proven innocent.
Needless to say, the IDF’s internalization of this bigoted and deeply flawed interpretation of international law is causing grave damage to the IDF’s ability to defend the country from aggression.
The second, equally troubling explanation for the cabinet’s decision to stand down is that Netanyahu and his ministers don’t trust the IDF’s operational competence. For seven months, the IDF has failed to come up with ways to end Hamas’s operations along the border. The special forces operating in Gaza on Sunday were ambushed. Their cover was blown. And the IDF permitted a bus carrying 50 soldiers to enter a border area where it was entirely exposed to enemy fire. If this is how the IDF handles Hamas, how will it handle Hezbollah – which is 10 times more powerful?
What are we to make of the fact that all the security services and branches of the IDF unanimously supported standing down in the face of Hamas’s extraordinary aggression?
In other words, if Netanyahu and his ministers feared the outcome of a more forceful operations against Hamas and Islamic Jihad, their fears were well placed. Israel may be the innovation nation, but the IDF has failed to come up with innovative ways to deal with Hamas. To be sure, our special forces are undoubtedly exacting major blows at Hamas we never hear about.
But the fact is, the terror regime shot off 500 projectiles and blew up a bus with a missile in less than 24 hours. The border assaults have never stopped. You can’t fight a booby-trapped balloon with an F-35. Ceramic vests and Iron Dome batteries are no substitute for bold improvisation and ingenuity.
This then brings us to the question of what to do about Liberman’s vacancy at the Defense Ministry.
There are three possibilities for filling the vacancy. The first is that Netanyahu just adds defense to his collection of ministerial portfolios which currently includes the foreign ministry and the health ministry. The main problem with this option is that given the acuteness of the problem, the Defense Ministry requires a full-time minister. Netanyahu is already working 20 hours a day. He can’t and shouldn’t try to take this on.
The second possibility is that Netanyahu appoints Education Minister Naftali Bennett to replace Liberman as Bennett’s Bayit Yehudi Party is demanding. There are pluses and minuses to this option.
The main advantage of appointing Bennett is that he is the minister best suited to handle the challenge. Bennett understands the IDF’s weaknesses, particularly the General Staff’s lack of creativity and antiquated approaches to Israel’s innovative terrorist foes.
As Education Minister, Bennett has demonstrated a capacity to enact significant reforms and work cooperatively and productively with powerful people that do not share his ideological outlook. He is more likely to deliver the goods than any other minister in Netanyahu’s government.
The downside of appointing Bennett is that he is a politician and Israel is entering an election year. In election years, politicians have to be able to produce tangible results to voters. And it isn’t at all clear that Bennett will be able to do that. Indeed, he is just as likely to fail in his mission as succeed, particularly given that elections can be called at any minute. Taking the Defense Ministry is a major gamble for Bennett and his party.
The third possibility is that Netanyahu appoints a person to serve until the next government is formed who understands the problems that need to be solved. That person would be someone with no political aspirations. He needs to be willing to walk straight into a political buzz saw at home and abroad as he removes legal advisers from IDF divisions, brigades and battalions and orders commanders to get the job done.
This person needs to be willing to make a lot of people hate him as he cancels appointments of senior commanders and boots a lot of brass out of the IDF altogether.
What is clear enough is that Israel’s enemies are sitting on our borders – in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza – and they are watching us and our General Staff. H hour passed when the missile landed on the bus on Monday. If we aren’t prepared to mow the lawn in Gaza – and Lebanon – today, then we need to fix what is broken here at home today. Because tomorrow they will strike us again. And tomorrow we may not have the option of walking away.
Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter and Square, was not pleased with the proposition, pointing out the inherently uneven nature of the tax. He wrote, “We’re happy to pay our taxes. We just want to be treated fairly with respect to our peer companies, many of who are 2-10 [times] larger than us. Otherwise we don’t know how to practically grow in the city. That’s heartbreaking for us as we love [San Francisco] and want to continue to help build it.”
Even Mayor London Breed came out against Prop C, which would be the largest tax hike in San Francisco’s history, though her concern stems more from questions regarding the law’s legality. Breed wrote, “If it passes, Proposition C will likely immediately become part of an ongoing lawsuit to invalidate it. … The City could be left balancing its budget with a $300 million unknown baked in.”
According to California law, “special taxes” — taxes that fund a specific government program — must garner at least two-thirds of the vote in order to be legally instituted. Clearly, 60% of the vote is a sizable majority but it’s not two-thirds; thus, lawsuits are bound to be raised should the city go forward with the tax.
But the economic impact may be more damaging to the city in the long run. City economists estimate that Prop C would cost San Fran $200 to $240 million in GDP annually and 14,700 to 17,500 jobs over the next two decades. How exactly will that make the city any more able to deal with the problem of vagrants on the streets? How about ending government-financed welfare programs and encouraging private individuals, churches, and nonprofits to engage the problem instead? True generosity can never be achieved through confiscated and redistributed wealth.

Graham confirms Whitaker is intent on allowing the dirty cop-Mueller investigation to come to its natural conclusion. Additionally, Graham discusses a potential for he and Whitaker to work together next year on issues vitally important to the institution. ie. do not expect any ‘spygate’ stuff being discussed at any time over the next several weeks. Additionally today, the Office of Inspector General, Michael Horowitz outlined departmental priorities for the DOJ in 2019. Which leans heavily toward the possibility the next DOJ-IG report will be a white-wash over the FISA abuse. Notably absent from the challenge priorities is any direct interest in eliminating corruption.
However, mathematician Nic Lewis discovered a discrepancy shortly after the study went public. Lewis wrote that “a quick review of the first page of the paper was sufficient to raise doubts as to the accuracy of its results.” He went on to reveal, “Just a few hours of analysis and calculations, based only on published information, was sufficient to uncover apparently serious (but surely inadvertent) errors in the underlying calculations.”
The authors, it turns out, acknowledged Lewis’s complaint. The Scripps Institute of Oceanography’s Ralph Keeling, a study partaker, responded, “When we were confronted with his insight it became immediately clear there was an issue there. We’re grateful to have it be pointed out quickly so that we could correct it quickly.” He also stated, “Our error margins are too big now to really weigh in on the precise amount of warming that’s going on in the ocean. We really muffed the error margins.”
While the acknowledgment is refreshing, Lewis remains circumspect. In an email to Reason magazine, he cautions:
In general terms, if [Keeling] is only saying that they acknowledge that their study underestimated the uncertainty in their ocean heat uptake estimate, that is not enough. They should also acknowledge that another consequence of their mishandling of the treatment of uncertainty was that their central estimate of ocean heat uptake was overstated by approximately 30%. … I would hope that Nature will have any changes made by the authors to their assumptions examined carefully by peer reviewers who are experts in the same field as [the authors] as well as by statistically expert peer reviewers. However, the failure of the original peer review and editorial process to pick up the fairly obvious statistical problems in the original paper do not engender confidence in Nature’s approach.
This is an important point. National Center for Atmospheric Research climatologist Gerald Meehl says, “This is how the process works. Every paper that comes out is not bulletproof or infallible. If it doesn’t stand up under scrutiny, you review the findings.” Fair enough. However, Lewis was able to discern the problem in “a few hours of analysis and calculations, based only on published information.” This should create general alarm over other studies whose shaky underpinnings could be recklessly unseen or ignored. Indeed, few agenda-driven researchers are as deferential as Keeling. Either that, or the flaw was hidden in such plain sight that he had no choice but to accept correction. ~The Patriot Post
{foxnews.com} ~ As thousands of troops deployed to the southern border await the arrival of a caravan of migrants heading towards the U.S. ... border patrol agents in Arizona have already been busy, detaining more than 650 illegal immigrants in just two days this week. Agents in the Yuma Sector said they detained 654 people – most reportedly being family units or unaccompanied minors from Guatemala - on Monday and Tuesday.Officials said the groups of illegal immigrants are not believed to be associated with the large caravan of mostly Central American migrants that have prompted the military deployment. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Wednesday a group of 55 Central Americans waded across the Colorado River near Yuma and surrendered to agents after walking around vehicle barriers in the area.“ Larger numbers of illegal immigrants have started to illegally cross shallow portions of the Colorado River near Yuma,” a press release said. Vinny Dulesky, the special operations supervisor for Yuma Sector public affairs, told Fox News on Thursday that the majority of the groups came in through the east side of the port of entry and had cut through their metal fences to cross in... https://www.foxnews.com/us/more-than-650-illegal-immigrants-crossing-southern-border-detained-in-arizona-over-two-days
“Anywhere industries based on muscular labor could be outsourced, they often were,” writes Victor Davis Hanson. “Anywhere they could not be so easily outsourced — such as Wall Street, Silicon Valley, the entertainment industry, the media, and academia — consumer markets grew from 300 million to 7 billion. The two coasts with cosmopolitan ports on Asia and Europe thrived.”
Hanson further asserts that “thrived” is putting it far too mildly, noting the rapid accumulation of global wealth by private entities and individuals is historically unprecedented. “The result has been the creation of a new class of millions of coastal hyper-wealthy professionals with salaries five and more times higher than those of affluent counterparts in traditional America,” he explains. “The old working-class Democrat ethos was insidiously superseded by a novel affluent progressivism.”
The rest of America? In a refreshing but nauseating display of candor, the last two Democrat Party standard-bearers referred to us as “bitter clingers” to guns God and religion, and a “basket of deplorables,” respectively.
Yet they are hardly alone. In a 2016 column defending globalism, Never-Trumper Kevin Williamson was equally contemptuous. “The white American underclass is in thrall to a vicious, selfish culture whose main products are misery and used heroin needles,” he wrote. “Donald Trump’s speeches make them feel good. So does OxyContin.”
What should happen to such Americans and their towns? “The truth about these dysfunctional, downscale communities is that they deserve to die,” Williams asserted.
Such arrogance and conceit should surprise no one. It is emblematic of globalists for whom the “net plus” of international trade, unfettered immigration, and open borders, is a reasonable price to pay for the diminution of national identity and democracy — and the evisceration of patriotism.
French President Emmanuel Macron epitomizes their twisted priorities. “Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism,” he asserted. “In saying ‘Our interests first, whatever happens to the others,’ you erase the most precious thing a nation can have, that which makes it live, that which causes it to be great and that which is most important: its moral values.”
Macron has a convenient memory. It was American Patriots, the overwhelming majority of whom believed in the greatness of their own nation, who liberated France — twice — at a considerable cost of blood and treasure — twice. That’s as moral as it gets.
Moreover, there is nothing remotely wrong with promoting national self-interest, and it is extremely telling that globalists like Macron believe those interests are nothing more than zero-sum selfishness.
Nothing is more profoundly selfish and self-serving than globalism. Thus when its adherents, such as the artists and intellectuals promoting a “European Republic,” insist “the sovereignty of states is hereby replaced by the sovereignty of citizens,” we are approaching the heights of intellectual bankruptcy.
Sovereignty of citizens — according to which precepts? The Constitution or Shariah Law? Those that treasure individual liberty, or those that abet the totalitarian collective?
How about sheer practicality? If one wanted a stoplight erected at a dangerous intersection in one’s town, it would be far more practical if the person empowered to do so was the local alderman, not one’s congressional representative in Washington, DC — or if the one-worlders had their way, some extra-national bureaucrat in Brussels. Top-down government is the antithesis of citizen sovereignty and empowerment, which is why the Constitution put severe limitations on it.
Limitations the globalists would like to obliterate. Thus it is no surprise that they and their media allies seek to paint anyone who resists their agenda as racist, tribalist, and xenophobic.
And if all else fails, anti-Semitic. Thus globalist is “often understood as code for ‘Jews,’ so this language is activating and traumatizing for a lot of Jews,” asserts Rabbi Rachel Barenblat. Columnist Gideon Rachman concurs. “Mr Trump and his European equivalents have also talked up the myth that dastardly globalists, like [scumbag-George] Soros, are encouraging and funding illegal migration,” he writes. “In doing so, they fan the paranoid fantasies that led to attacks like the mass killing that took place at a synagogue in Pittsburgh. … For many anti-Semites, ‘globalist’ has become a synonym for Jew.”
For many nationalists, the anti-Semite trope is the last refuge of globalist scoundrels. And while globalists insist nationalism fueled both world wars, the truth is exactly the opposite. “Instead, cross-border multilateral security guarantees became the tripwires that detonated global strife,” explains columnist Steve Cortes, with regard to WWI.
WWII? Directly attributable to the globalist-oriented League of Nations and its utopian, one world vision that ultimately became untenable. “Great nations will not allow the claims or commands of multinational institutions to take precedence over vital interests,” Pat Buchanan explains. “The crucial choice — of non-intervention, sanctions, or war — will ultimately be dictated by national interests alone.”
National interests that are anathema to the globalist agenda. Thus, a United Nations dominated by thugs, dictators, communists, and socialists has released a report calling for the silencing of anyone who objects to the globalist agenda. According to the UN, nationalism poses a “sobering threat to racial equality by fueling discrimination, intolerance and the creation of institutions and structures that will have enduring legacies of racial exclusion.”
Such nonsense dovetails quite nicely with the globalist quest for open borders. Any American opposing a de facto invasion isn’t concerned with the depression of wages, unlawful job competition, or aspirations of permanent power already evinced by allowing illegals to vote. One is merely a racist xenophobe.
Remarkably, many of the same people who insist immigration per se is an economic imperative are also advocating for a Universal Basic Income, because AI and automation will replace millions of jobs. That is an irreconcilable disconnect — until one realizes that millions of people robbed of ambition and industriousness, while simultaneously beholden to an oligarchy of “benevolent” globalist paymasters, would be quite pliable.
Free trade (that isn’t really free) is no salve for subjugation. Neither is trade wholly removed from patriotism and/or morality. Boeing Airlines lost a sanctions-induced $20 billion deal with Iran. If it lays off workers as a result, wouldn’t most Americans prefer those layoffs to providing EMP-attack-facilitating jetliners to the world’s foremost state sponsor of terror? How many American corporations abide China’s rampant stealing of intellectual property and its increasing military belligerence as a reasonable trade off for access to its markets?
“In our country, many elites in corporate C-suites and coastal newsrooms bristle at the notion of American nationalism because they identify far more with Paris, France than with Paris, Illinois,” writes Cortes. “But no matter how loudly the Davos crowd complains, President Trump was elected with a clear mandate to govern America for Americans.”
Make that Americans who still want to be Americans. Going forward, how many Americans, long taught to be contemptuous of their own nation, will prefer to be “citizens of the world?” ~The Patriot Post

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton must answer more questions under oath regarding her emails, a conservative watchdog group declared Wednesday... "Breaking: Court rules late today scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton must answer more email questions — including key q's about the setting up of her email system," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton tweeted after a hearing in federal court. U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan heard the case, which stems from a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit regarding the controversial employment status of longtime scumbag/liar-Clinton aide Huma Abedin, who was granted a "special government employee" designation to accept outside employment while she was working at the State Department. Judicial Watch sought to compel further answers from scumbag/liar-Clinton after her written testimony under oath in October 2016 regarding her scumbag/liar-Clinton.com, non-state.gov email system. The two questions scumbag/liar-Clinton will have to answer within 30 days, per Sullivan's ruling are...
According to Investor’s Business Daily, “The International Energy Agency forecasts that the U.S. will account for 75% of the growth in global oil production through 2025.” This growth is coming on the heels of already impressive gains. “Crude oil production in the U.S. has climbed more than 67% in just the past six years,” Investor’s reports, adding that “the Department of Energy expects it will climb an additional 11% next year.” Keep in mind that U.S. oil production is already second to none. Our current daily yield of 11 million barrels is higher than both Saudi Arabia and Russia.
The chief catalyst? Fracking. Yet as Investor’s notes, “It was never supposed to happen.” Recall back in 2008 when scumbag/liar-nObama asserted, “If we opened up and drilled on every single square inch of our land and our shores, we would still find only 3% of the world’s oil reserves — 3% for a country that uses 25% of the world’s oil.” This claim — which was regurgitated in slightly different forms all through scumbag/liar-nObama’s tenure — was obviously fabricated. Investor’s says that true U.S. oil reserves are sixty fold higher than scumbag/liar-nObama’s estimate.
“Not all of that was recoverable at current prices,” Investor’s acknowledges. “But ‘recoverable’ is a highly flexible term. It’s based on oil prices and the cost of getting it out of the ground. The fracking revolution dramatically redefined the term recoverable because it made vast oil supplies accessible that once were once economically off-limits. So why would scumbag/liar-nObama mislead the country throughout his presidency? Because he was determined to force the country to dump billions of taxpayer subsidies on ‘renewable’ energy, and needed a reason to justify it.”
The issue here is not that renewable energy as a primary resource isn’t an admirable goal; it’s that scumbag/liar-nObama’s idea of how to properly nurture it was terribly misplaced. And his lying about the facts as a means to an end only added insult to injury. The solar company Solyndra alone squandered half a billion taxpayer dollars. Not only has oil always been far more abundant than naysayers claim, but taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to prop up whatever industry a president decides should be cultivated using powerful government levers.
Similar to how oil extraction evolved into fracking, the private sector will eventually find its game-changing renewable energy breakthrough. In the meantime, more oil production means more government revenue. Shouldn’t Democrats, who want to roll out a plethora of very expensive, government-paid-for initiatives, be for that? ~The Patriot Post
Flake drew his line in the sand following Senate Leader Mitch McConnell’s refusal to bring forward legislation protecting the dirty cop-Mueller investigation. The Kentucky Republican subsequently dispelled rino-Flake’s fears: “I don’t think any legislation’s necessary.”
CNN commentator Jeffrey Toobin rebuked rino-Flake’s futile move: “Is there anything more empty in American politics than a threat from rino-Jeff Flake? … The idea that rino-Jeff Flake is going to hold up anything to protect dirty cop-Robert Mueller is, in my opinion, absurd. Mitch McConnell has said we don’t need a law to protect dirty cop-Robert Mueller, and that means there’s not going to be a law to protect dirty cop-Robert Mueller. … Mitch McConnell is in charge. … I mean, this is not a fair fight. Mitch McConnell and a 98-pound weakling named rino-Jeff Flake is just … not going to happen.”
As for rino-Flake’s line in the sand, thus far only one other Republican senator has expressed “concern” and a desire for legislation to protect the special counsel — Maine’s Susan Collins. That said, she has not stated whether she will stand with rino-Flake in refusing to vote on judiciary nominations. And even rino-Flake himself has not said that he will vote against nominees — just that he will not vote in favor — meaning he could simply vote present.
rino-Flake’s problem is that he has continued to allow his personal dislike of Trump to cloud his vision. He seems unable or unwilling to see the many good decisions Trump has made, some of the best of which have been Trump’s judiciary nominees. In fact, one of the main reasons so many conservatives voted for Trump in the first place was concern over the judiciary. Conservatives have long bemoaned Democrats filling the courts with activist judges who legislate from the bench. They saw Trump’s promise to nominate constitutionally committed judges as important enough to look past his glaring personal failures. And their vote has been rewarded, as Trump has more than lived up to that promise.
Now rino-Flake, mere weeks away from complete political irrelevancy, raises a lame-duck virtue signal on a bill that is likely unconstitutional and he expects what … accolades? He should do himself and the nation a favor and serve out his remaining days in office by voting in the country’s best interest, not according to some fallacious two-year-old Russia-collusion, anti-Trump narrative. ~The Patriot Post

America needs single-payer health care, say progressives. That’s a system where government pays doctors and hospitals, and no sick person has to worry about having enough money to pay for care. After all, they say, “Health care is a right!”
“Who pays for it?” asks Chris Pope, “And that’s really not a rights question.”
Pope studies health care systems for the Manhattan Institute. In my newest video, Pope explains that although many Americans think that Canada and most of Europe have single-payer systems, that’s not really true.
“In Germany, employers provide most of the health care … just as they do in the United States,” he says. France and Switzerland also offer multiple options, public and private, and most people buy private health insurance. Some of the Swiss government subsidies are similar to those of scumbag/liar-nObamacare.
But Canada, England, Norway, Cuba and a few other countries do have genuine single-payer. I’m constantly told that it works well — people get good care and never have to worry about a bill. They spend less on health care and live longer.
Pope says that claim is naive. They do live longer in many of those countries, but it’s not because they get superior health care; it’s because fewer of them are fat; fewer crash cars; and they shoot each other less often. “Take out (obesity), car accidents and gun violence, the difference in life expectancy disappears entirely,” Pope says.
Also, government-run systems save money by freeloading off American innovation. American drug companies, funded by American customers, fund most of the world’s research and development of pharmaceuticals. New drugs and devices are expensive, so oftentimes in Britain, says Pope, “whenever a new drug comes on the market that can save lives, the government just doesn’t have the funds to pay for it.”
Patients, accustomed to accepting whatever government hands out, don’t even know about advances available elsewhere.
Single-payer systems also save money by rationing care. Hence the long waiting times for treatments declared “nonessential” in Canada, Britain and, for that matter, at American veterans hospitals. The VA’s problems are similar to what’s happened in Britain’s National Health Service.
“In England,” says Pope, “rarely a week goes by without a crisis or another in the health care system being part of the news. This year, there was a crisis in emergency room care — people left in hallways for hours and hours.”
Critics of U.S. health care say waiting in line is better than getting no care, which is what happens to Americans who cannot afford to pay.
But is that true? Pope points out that America already has “over a trillion dollars a year in public spending, really, to provide health care to people who don’t afford it.” Also, American emergency rooms treat anyone who comes in.
By contrast, single-payer means taxpayers’ funds are spent on everyone — even people who can afford to pay for their own care. That means there’s less left for the truly needy. The affluent often escape government’s waiting lines and treatment limits by buying private health insurance.
In Britain, millions of people purchase private insurance, says Pope. At least they still have that option.
In America, Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders says gleefully that he wants to put private insurance companies “out of business.”
Hearing that, Pope replied, “makes you wonder whether this is more about spite than it is about improving people’s health.”
All of this doesn’t mean the system in the U.S. should stay as it is.
Government already does too much here. People say America has free-market health care, but we don’t, and we haven’t since World War II. Government and government-subsidized insurance companies currently spend most of America’s health dollars. If politicians here really want to improve things, they should try letting the market function.
Let hospitals compete. Right now, state laws won’t even allow new private hospitals unless a regional board — often made up of people affiliated with already-existing hospitals — declares a “need” for a new one and it is registered with the American Hospital Association.
Let insurance companies compete for your business. American tax laws push workers to employer-funded coverage. Equalize the tax law and more individuals would pick the coverage best suited for them.
Pope says, “If we move towards a health care system where individuals were more responsible for shopping around … people would choose a better system.” ~The Patriot Post

{westernjournal.com} ~ Katherine MacGregor, who played petty, gossiping mother Harriet Oleson on TV’s “Little House on the Prairie,” has died, a representative said Wednesday. She was 93.
MacGregor died Tuesday at the Motion Picture and Television Fund retirement community in Los Angeles said Tony Sears, who is acting as her attorney.
Her onscreen nasty daughter Nellie Oleson was the character viewers most loved to hate on the NBC series that ran from 1974 to 1983.
However, her cruel, greedy mother Harriet Oleson was just as awful, never missing a chance at small-town social climbing or petty backbiting.
They stood in contrast to the warm, loving members of the Ingalls family, who were the show’s focus and often the Olesons’ targets.
The California-born MacGregor began as a dancer in New York before shifting to acting, studying under legendary teacher Sanford Meisner.
Her screen career consisted of tiny film roles and TV guest spots before she landed on “Little House on the Prairie,” the beloved TV series based on a beloved book series that author Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote about her childhood.
MacGregor would stay for the show’s entire run along with actors Michael Landon, the show’s star who died in 1991, and Melissa Gilbert, who played a young Laura Ingalls.
“She was outspoken and hilariously funny,” Melissa Gilbert said on Instagram of MacGregor Wednesday.
“A truly gifted actress as she was able to play a despicable character but with so much heart. Her Harriet Oleson was the woman our fans loved to hate. A perfect antagonist.”
Alison Arngrim, who played Nellie Oleson, said Macgregor “had an extremely long and full life and is at peace … we will all miss her.”

Granted, this wasn’t a reliably scientific poll and we don’t bring it up because the results are airtight. But they certainly do affirm what we’ve long warned: Heated political rhetoric has consequences, and primarily it’s being driven by the Democrat/Leftmedia complex.
These leftist leaders insist 24/7 that everything Republicans say, think, or do is racist. We’re even told that hiring people based on merit is racist. Notably, it is Republicans who fight for school choice for minorities stuck in failing inner-city schools, In some areas, minorities are noticing; in others, not so much. And it’s Republicans, not Democrats, who are lifting minorities out of poverty. Blacks in particular are thriving under President Donald Trump.
Nevertheless, just before the midterms, Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders declared Trump “the most racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted president in history.” Is it any wonder that rank-and-file Democrat voters believe what they’re hearing?
Kim Hart of Axios explains the problem with that: “If Americans are this convinced that the other side isn’t just wrong, but dumb and evil, they’ll never be able to find enough common ground to solve real problems. And they’re more likely to elect leaders who can’t do it, either.” As we explained before Thanksgiving 2016, leftist demonization of half the country is why Trump won, though, granted, he wasn’t elected to “find common ground.”
In related news, the FBI reports that 2017 saw a 17% increase in reported “hate crimes,” including a 37% spike in crimes targeting Jews. The Washington Post reports, “Of the more than 7,000 hate crime incidents in 2017, more than 4,000 were crimes against people, ranging from threats and intimidation to assault [and] murder. More than 3,000 were crimes against property, ranging from vandalism to robbery to arson.”
A few observations: First, this increase is fueled largely by more cities and law-enforcement agencies reporting a category called “hate crimes” — as in 1,000 additional sources nationwide. Second, we’ve long questioned the very category of “hate crimes” because it’s so subjective and because it motivates people in favored victim groups to report crimes that didn’t actually happen — a fad of hate-crime hoaxes. Third, the increase of anti-Semitic sentiments in the country is driven by Democrats and by so-called “alt-right” racists who are all “alt” and no “right.”
Finally — and the reason this relates to the poll where we began — is that leftists blame Trump. The leftist, hate-hustling Southern Poverty Law Center certainly does, and the Leftmedia takes its cues about “hate” from these supposedly unbiased propagandists. Moreover, writes Vox’s German Lopez, “The [FBI] report covers the first year of President Donald Trump’s time in the White House, and he’s been repeatedly criticized, from his campaign to his presidential statements and tweets, of stoking racist sentiment, particularly against immigrants and refugees.”
If “hate crimes” are “rising,” all the better to solidify that blame-Trump narrative and to further divide the country by vilifying all the “deplorables” on the Right. The predictable result is polls showing that everyday Democrat voters view their Republican counterparts as evil racists. ~The Patriot Post

The Most Dangerous and Treacherous Times in U.S. History! (Part 89)-Posted on Tea Party Command Center-By Jake Martinez-On November 15, 2018:
The following recent article revealed how to win elections the Democrat way. According to Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Shumer: "The more time that passes since Election Day, the better things keep looking for Democrats." If True, What’s wrong, but not surprising about this picture?-You Decide:

Winning Elections the Democrat Way: "The more time that passes since Election Day, the better things keep looking for Democrats." —Demo Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer!-Posted on The Patriot Post-By Mark Alexander-On November 14, 2018:
“No Wall of words, no mound of parchment can be so formed as to stand against the sweeping torrent of boundless ambition on the one side, aided by the sapping current of corrupted morals on the other.” —George Washington (1798)
In the inimitable words of Baseball Hall of Fame sage Yogi Berra, “It’s déjà vu all over again.” Who could’ve guessed that, after the closing bell of the 2018 midterm election, the Florida results would turn into a ballot brawl, tied up in nine legal challenges (at current count)?
Perhaps Karl Marx got something correct when noting that history repeats itself, “first as tragedy, then as farce”
Given the Trump administration’s extraordinary midterm scorecard of domestic and foreign policy achievements, it’s unfortunate that Republicans lost control of the House. Still, it wasn’t anything like the 63-seat bloodbath Barack Obama suffered in his first midterm referendum.
But in the end, the combined “Hate Trump” salvos from the Democrat Party and its Leftmedia advocates was enough to saturate the polls.
Though Obama’s Democrats also lost six Senate seats in his first midterm, it appears that Trump’s Republicans have gained two seats — maybe.
A week ago, it looked like Republicans had picked up three seats, with former Air Force fighter pilot Martha McSally capturing the Senate seat being vacated by anti-Trump Republican Jeff Flake. Instead, she conceded Monday in a narrow loss to a petulant leftist, Kyrsten Sinema. The latter once described her state as “a meth lab of democracy,” a dig at Arizona’s “deplorables.”
It is a notable irregularity that Arizona’s Republican governor, Doug Ducey, defeated his opponent by a whopping 15%, while McSally’s loss to Sinema was under 2%, though Sinema failed to win a popular majority. What can explain such an extraordinary level of ticket-splitting? Clearly, McSally got “Flaked.”
Now, sore-losing Democrats are trying to cut Republican Senate gains to just one seat by overturning the results of Rick Scott’s victory over Democrat incumbent Bill Nelson. Last Tuesday evening, it was apparent Republicans had won that Senate seat and the governor’s race. In the latter, corrupt Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum had conceded to Rep. Ron DeSantis.
Not only is Gillum part of a corruption investigation stemming from his years as Tallahassee mayor, but his Senate campaign was heavily funded by California billionaire leftist Tom Steyer.
As for Nelson, sensing his campaign was in trouble three months ago, he laid the groundwork to contest the election results by claiming the Russians had hacked Florida election headquarters, a fallacious claim that even The Washington Post was unable to substantiate. When pressed on the claim by the media, Nelson declared, “That’s classified.”
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and FBI Director Christopher Wray have both refuted Nelson’s claims.
So now both Nelson and Gillum are contesting the election results. And with crooked election supervisors like Broward County’s Brenda Snipes and Palm Beach County’s Susan Bucher, why not? Miraculously, they’re finding thousands of previously uncounted votes in those two deep-blue counties.

According to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), “Florida law requires counties report early voting and vote-by-mail within 30 minutes after polls close. [Days] after polls closed two Democrat strongholds [—] Broward County and Palm Beach County [—] are still counting and refusing to disclose how many ballots they have left to count. … Bay County was hit by a Cat 4 Hurricane just 4 weeks ago, yet managed to count votes & submit timely results. Yet over 41 hours after polls closed #Broward elections office is still counting votes?”
Regarding the flood of Democrat lawyers contesting the Florida election, Rubio added, “[Those] lawyers aren’t here to make sure every vote is counted. They’re here to get as many votes for their client as possible counted & get as many votes for opponent as possible thrown out.”
Even left-of-center Politico offered this scathing assessment of Snipes’s sordid history of vote pilfering: “Counting unlawful votes. Destroying ballots. Sunshine Law violations. Busted deadlines. So many controversies have bedeviled Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes … that her days in office are now numbered.”
For her part, Snipes now says, “It is time to move on,” adding, “I think I have served the purpose that I came for, which is to provide a credible election product for Broward.”
“Election product”?
According to Demo Senate leader Chuck Schumer, “The more time that passes since Election Day, the better things keep looking for Democrats.”
Exactly!
And Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the former disgraced head of the Democrat National Committee, defended the fraudulent efforts, insisting, “The process is simply working.” And she has some experience with how Snipes makes the process work. In 2016, Snipes helped Wasserman Schultz win her primary by destroying opposition ballots. And she posted those election results 30 minutes before the polls had closed.
But here we are again. It’s now likely there will be mandated state-wide recounts challenging both the Scott and DeSantis victories.
Apparently, not much has changed in Florida since the 2000 election of George W. Bush over Albert Arnold Gore. The outcome of that state’s election, and thus the presidency, was ultimately decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, which, after a 36-day recount battle, correctly decided in favor of Bush by overruling the Florida Supreme Court’s order for a recount of “undervotes” — those ballots that, for any number of reasons, were not counted.
Gore finally conceded for a second time. But it’s worth noting that a consortium of media outlets contracted the accounting firm BDO Seidman to examine more than 60,000 “undervotes” from all of Florida’s counties, and that review determined Bush would have won the statewide recount of undervotes if SCOTUS had not intervened. The study also determined that the most lenient standard of vote counting (which Gore’s attorneys sought) would have given Bush an even greater lead.
In the 2000 election, neither Bush nor Gore gained a popular majority of the votes, with Bush wining 47.9% (271 electoral votes) to Gore’s 48.4% (266 electoral votes).
Of note, in the two presidential elections prior to 2000, Bill Clinton failed to win a popular majority in either, receiving just 43% in 1992 and 49% in 1996.
Neither of those results, however, caused Republicans to take to the streets in protest, as Democrats and their screaming masses and anti-fascist fascists did in 2016. In that election, neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump received a popular majority of votes, but Trump won where it mattered, trouncing Clinton 304 to 227 in the Electoral College.
For the record, Democrats have a long history of election tampering that far eclipses any influence of remote (and nonexistent) Russian collusion in 2016.
And when it comes to “finding votes” that had not been counted, Lyndon Johnson’s Texas Senate run in 1948 is a case study. In his first attempt six years earlier, even with Franklin D. Roosevelt campaigning for him, LBJ lost by 1,311 votes — and, of course, he alleged voter fraud. In his 1948 runoff with his Republican opponent, it appeared once again that LBJ had lost, this time by 20,000 votes. But miraculously, after various “adjustments” to the reported numbers, Johnson was only about a hundred votes from victory. And, shazam, a box of uncounted ballots was discovered, giving Johnson an 87-vote win.

LBJ’s campaign manager, future Texas Gov. John Connally, was present for the newfound ballot count. Among the 202 additional votes, it would later be determined that some voters were deceased and others were not in the county on Election Day. (Coincidentally, recall that Gov. Connally was in the limousine with John F. Kennedy when he was assassinated, making LBJ president.)
Almost 30 years later, The New York Times published an exposé on the 1948 election titled, “Ex-Official Says He Stole 1948 Election for Johnson.” According to that report, “The disclosure was made by Luis Salas, who was the election judge for Jim Wells County’s Box 13, which produced just enough votes in the 1948 Texas Democratic primary runoff to give Mr. Johnson the party’s nomination for the United States Senate. … ‘Johnson did not win that election — it was stolen for him and I know exactly how it was done.’ … Mr. Salas said he decided to break his silence [to gain] ‘peace of mind.’ … ‘I was just going along with my party.’”
The Times article concluded, “A former agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, T. Keilis Dibrell … confirmed Mr. Salas’s statement that the last 200 votes had been in alphabetical order. … Mr. Dibrell said, ‘Also, the last 202 names were made with the same colored ink, and in the same handwriting.”
In 1990, The Washington Post published David Broder’s review of a detailed analysis of LBJ’s theft of the 1948 election. In it, Johnson biographer Robert Caro assessed Johnson as “driven by 'a boundless ambition.’ … His career had been a story of manipulation, deceit and ruthlessness … in which nothing matters but victory and any maneuver that leads to victory is justified. … Johnson stole the victory in the 1948 Senate race.”
Of course, in the 1960 presidential contest between John Kennedy (with LBJ as his running mate) and Richard Nixon, Kennedy defeated Nixon by a microscopic margin of 0.2%, and he failed to secure a popular majority. The deciding electoral victory hinged on Kennedy winning Illinois, where corrupt Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and his Cook County dynasty turned out enough votes for the Kennedy victory. Esteemed JFK and LBJ biographer Robert Dallek concluded that Daley’s political machine “probably stole Illinois from Nixon,” while JFK’s brother Robert F. Kennedy conceded that the Daley political machine was “the whole ballgame.”
And the other big state that JFK needed to win the electoral majority in 1960? You guessed it — Texas. LBJ had it covered for him.
Despite such an agonizingly narrow loss, Nixon had the decency to concede on the morning after the election. He noted, “In our campaigns, no matter how hard they may be, no matter how close the election may turn out to be, those who lose accept the verdict and support those who win.” (It was only the second time in history that a vice president conceded defeat — the first being Abraham Lincoln’s opponent in 1860, when Lincoln won only 39.8% of the vote.)
Don’t expect such humility and decency from Bill Nelson or Andrew Gillum in Florida. Humility and decency simply aren’t in the political toolbox of today’s Democrat Party. Nor should we expect The New York Times or The Washington Post to call out the abject corruption undermining the Florida elections, or those elsewhere across the nation.
A more recent example of the LBJ model was the 2008 Minnesota Senate race where now-disgraced Demo comedian Al Franken “defeated” incumbent Republican Norm Coleman. At the end of that election, Coleman was 215 votes ahead of Franken, which triggered a recount. That reversed the victory and provided Franken a 225-vote win. Months after Coleman conceded, it was determined that the final count included 1,099 votes from ineligible felony offenders.
Because felony offenders overwhelmingly support Democrats, for that reason Florida is now allowing convicted felons to vote.
What could go wrong?

The Most Dangerous and Treacherous Times in U.S. History! (Part 88)-Posted on Tea Party Command Center-By Jake Martinez-On November 10, 2018:
The following recent article revealed that sufferers of Trump Derangement Syndrome live in a world that is in a constant state of turmoil and since they cannot seem to defeat the president’s plans or stymie his agenda through traditional politics and policy debate, they must delegitimize everything he does, to include his victory to win the office he holds.
It also revealed that the current battle over the position of attorney general is a perfect example. Leftists and their media lackeys never had any love for Jeff Sessions as AG until Trump fired him after the midterms and now all Democrats and Never-Trumpers see a constitutional crisis because they claim that removing Sessions is Trump’s first move in an attempt to crush Robert Mueller’s investigation and have demanded documentation regarding the Sessions firing, along with calling on anyone related to the investigation to preserve their documents.
Additionally, it also revealed that they have also gone on the attack against Matthew Whitaker, the man Trump chose as acting attorney general to replace Sessions because Whitaker has made assertions in the past as a CNN commentator that the Mueller investigation would be treading on dangerous ground if it went after Trump family members and their finances and from these statements, Democrats believe that Whitaker will be Trump’s hatchet man to fire Mueller and end the investigation once and for all. And, as with all things Trump, Democrats are allegedly attempting to delegitimize Whitaker, and their plan is two-fold. The first part involves Whitaker’s background and qualifications to take the job and the second part of their plan to discredit Whitaker focuses on whether Trump has the legal authority to appoint him as acting attorney general. If True, What’s wrong, but not surprising about this picture?-You Decide:

Dems Attack Whitaker to Delegitimize Trump: Their entire strategy behind the Russian collusion probe is to keep the president on the ropes!-Posted on The Patriot Post-By Lewis Morris-On November 13, 2018:
Sufferers of Trump Derangement Syndrome live in a world that is in a constant state of turmoil. They cannot seem to defeat the president’s plans or stymie his agenda through traditional politics and policy debate, so they must delegitimize everything he does — even his victory to win the office he holds.
The battle over the position of attorney general is a perfect example. Leftists and their media lackeys never had any love for Jeff Sessions as AG until Trump fired him after the midterms. Now all Democrats and Never-Trumpers see is a constitutional crisis.
Congressional Democrats claim that removing Sessions is Trump’s first move in an attempt to crush Robert Mueller’s investigation. They have demanded documentation regarding the Sessions firing and are calling on anyone related to the investigation to preserve their documents. They have also gone on the attack against Matthew Whitaker, the man Trump chose as acting attorney general to replace Sessions. Whitaker has made assertions in the past as a CNN commentator that the Mueller investigation would be treading on dangerous ground if it went after Trump family members and their finances. From these statements, Democrats believe that Whitaker will be Trump’s hatchet man to fire Mueller and end the investigation once and for all.
As with all things Trump, Democrats are attempting to delegitimize Whitaker, and their plan is two-fold. The first part involves Whitaker’s background and qualifications to take the job. Whitaker, who served as AG John Ashcroft’s chief of staff in the Bush White House, was appointed a United States attorney for the Southern District of Iowa in 2004. This would indicate that he has at least some level of legal savvy as well as experience on the bureaucratic workings of the Justice Department.
The Washington Post reports that Whitaker is under scrutiny for bringing charges against a state senator who allegedly used his office to extort $2,000 from a local company. The Post stated that the senator, Matt McCoy, believed Whitaker was motivated to come after him because he was a homosexual Democrat.
Whitaker could have also been motivated by the fact that McCoy was actually breaking the law. It wasn’t the only time that the Iowa legislator has been accused of abusing his office. But McCoy is crying victim, and the media is rolling him out on cue to go after Whitaker.
Speaking of abuse of power, Whitaker has also been accused of using his position as a former U.S. attorney while working on the advisory board of World Patent Marketing, a company targeted by the Federal Trade Commission for defrauding its clients. Whitaker allegedly sent threatening emails to a man complaining about the company, prominently mentioning his former role with the Justice Department.
The second part of the Left’s plan to discredit Whitaker focuses on whether Trump has the legal authority to appoint him as acting attorney general. As one might suspect, Democrats and Republicans are arriving at completely different conclusions after reading the same laws. The argument against the appointment claims that since Whitaker’s prior position as Sessions’s chief of staff did not require Senate confirmation, then he cannot assume the role of AG, which does require the Senate’s advice and consent.
Arguments for the appointment refer to the Vacancies Reform Act, which states that the president has the power to appoint someone to temporarily fill the top position without Senate confirmation so long as they have served in the same agency in a key capacity for at least 90 days. Democrats hope to make the case that even if Trump has the power to appoint Whitaker, he shouldn’t because Whitaker is a flawed candidate. But just in case this two-pronged strategy doesn’t work, Senate Democrats are also threatening to sue Trump over the whole affair. Some legal experts, however, don’t think the suit will go anywhere because Democrats cannot show they have been harmed by Whitaker, which is key to bringing a lawsuit in the first place.
The key to remember in this latest battle is that, for now, Whitaker is in place as the acting AG, emphasis on “acting.” Trump has not claimed him to be Sessions’s permanent replacement. It may be that if Whitaker is able to serve with distinction in his current role, Trump may present him as a nominee to the Senate as permanent AG at some point over the next few months. Since Republicans control the chamber, confirmation shouldn’t be too difficult.
We should have no illusions, however, that there is some magic candidate out there for attorney general with whom the Democrats will be comfortable. Symptoms of Trump Derangement Syndrome include inability to think logically, constant misery over decisions made by the opposition, and a complete disregard for what is good for the country.

“Food for Thought”
Hello: Are Americans Going To Wake Up and Take a Stand Against The Deplorable Obstructionists That Are Doing Their Utmost To Take Down Our Democratically Elected President, His Administration and Ultimately Destroy our Country/Republic?-God Bless America!
But there was another reason behind Amazon’s new headquarters’ “search.” In all likelihood, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos had made up his mind on the new locations when the search was first announced. As Reason speculates, “[Amazon’s] HQ2 search was not about HQ2: it was about market research. The mayors and governors and councilmen and commissioners and local developers of America handed priceless information about their plans, investments, and reserve prices to Jeff Bezos for free. … Amazon is now privy to information about where different municipalities are going to direct investment and infrastructure in the near future. The company can exploit this information.”
Interestingly, one of the biggest decriers of Amazon’s decision was none other than Bezos’s fellow lefty and newly elected Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). She blasted the announcement, writing, “Amazon is a billion-dollar company. The idea it will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks at a time when our subway is crumbling and our communities need MORE investment, not less, is extremely concerning to residents here.” Mind you, this is the same commie-Ocasio-Cortez that dodges questions over how she plans to pay for Medicare for All while dubiously complaining about not having enough money to rent an apartment in DC until she begins collecting her congressional salary in January.
Both the billionaire socialist Bezos and poor commie-Ocasio-Cortez are cut from the same cloth — they look to government to dictate to the masses how Americans should live. In commie-Ocasio-Cortez’s case, it’s the demand that taxpayers foot the massive bills for Medicare for All, free college, and a host of other socialist wealth-redistribution schemes. For Bezos, it’s pocketing $2 billion in tax breaks while at the same time working to get the government to create Amazon-favoring minimum-wage legislation that would squelch competition against the online-retail behemoth. Both lust after power. Neither appear interested in abiding by the Constitution or preserving America’s hard-won freedom and exceptionalism. ~The Patriot Post
It's best to have a mind of your own, with common sense. Dems, Socialists, Marxists, Commies, Fascists, Leftists, Moderates, regrettably, do not have these characteristics in them. Basically, they see the world through a sociopathic, psychopathic view. They are not able to understand human nature. Josef Stalin was quoted as saying "we don't have to destroy America, they will do it from within". I became a Conservative, Hard-Right, God-Loving, Saved through Jesus, Republican when I was 18, when I got my 1st paycheck, living in a liberals liberal state. Then, Glory be to God, I found RUSH LIMBAUGH, and he was saying everything I think, WOW, Big Thanks to WABC out of NYC. Now you KNOW ME!!!
Can a little more than 50% of Americans be so...I don't know what word to use without being insulting....unaware of who they put in power all over the 50. I'm completely surprised. Trump: beside all the missteps, what he's done is so transparently amazing. He didn't have to do this, but he loves this country. You people have elected some of the stupidest men and women that you possibly could. I still can't believe it, It's all down hill from here, folks, THINK ABOUT THAT!!!

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) had the best line when it comes to the latest Florida election in which contests for governor and the U.S. Senate are still undecided.
Rubio tweeted: "Bay County was hit by a Cat 4 Hurricane just 4 weeks ago, yet managed to count votes & submit timely results. Yet over 41 hours after polls closed #Broward elections office is still counting votes?"
With lawyers descending on the state in what looks to some like a replay of the 2000 "hanging chad" presidential election, an automatic recount has been triggered for both contests.
President Trump and other Republicans are crying foul and accusing Democrats of trying to "steal" the election. Given the history of voter fraud in this country and the heavily Democratic makeup of Broward and Palm Beach counties, their suspicions may be justified.
Vote-stealing isn't new. After the initial vote count in the 1948 Texas Senate race, which saw Lyndon Johnson losing to his opponent Coke Stevenson by 20,000 votes, previously "unreported precincts" and other "adjustments" were made in the vote totals. Johnson came out the winner by a mere 87 votes, earning him the derisive title "Landslide Lyndon."
In the 1960 presidential race, which saw the tightest popular vote margin since Grover Cleveland defeated James Blaine in 1884 by just 23,000 votes, Republicans claimed Richard Nixon was robbed. As Politico reported in a 2016 article, "In Illinois, John F. Kennedy won by just 8,800 votes, largely due to margins in Chicago, where Mayor Richard Daley -- a Kennedy stalwart -- tightly controlled the Cook County organization. In Texas, home of his running mate, Lyndon Johnson, the Kennedy-Johnson ticket won by a margin of 46,000. Had Nixon carried both states, he would have won the Electoral College, 270 to 252."
In the 2008 Minnesota Senate race between Republican incumbent Norm Coleman and Democrat scumbag-Al Franken, Coleman won the election by the narrowest of margins. According to CNN, "The initial count from the November 4 election put Coleman, a first-term senator, 215 votes ahead of scumbagFranken." The slim margin triggered an automatic recount. The canvassing board finally determined that scumbagFranken "won by 225 votes."
After scumbagFranken was sworn in, a conservative group called Minnesota Majority began investigating claims of voter fraud. The group found 1,099 felons, all of them ineligible, had voted. As John Fund and Hans von Spakovsky note in their book "Who's Counting?: How Fraudsters and Bureaucrats Put Your Vote at Risk," most felons favor Democrats when they can vote.
Which brings us back to Florida. With vote margins in the races for governor and Senate so tight, Republicans are worried that history will repeat itself.
Brenda Snipes, the supervisor of Elections in Broward County, has held her job for 15 years. Her history, to put it charitably, has been checkered. Last May, a judge ruled that Snipes violated federal and state election laws when she destroyed ballots in the 2016 congressional race in which Tim Canova lost a primary contest to incumbent Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
In August, a judge ordered Snipes to stop opening mail-in ballots in secret. Snipes has engaged in other behavior that has raised concerns about her competence and nonpartisanship, including again in 2016 when she "accidentally" posted election results 30 minutes before polls closed.
The recount process will be anything but pleasant. Snipes and others who are responsible for this dysfunctional, incompetent and possibly criminal behavior should be replaced, the sooner the better for Florida and for the country.
{peggynoonan.com} ~ We’re going to the polls and looking for leaders. What do we want? What a voter told Bret Baier a week ago, live from the campaign trail: someone she can cheer for. She was such an American, half hopeful, half wistful.
When people have real leaders, there’s a feeling of security: Somebody reliable is in charge. When a majority don’t feel that, there’s a sense of unrest, of jitteriness that filters out and down. America’s never at full peace, it’s not our style, but there’s a greater sense of soundness, and less frantic scrolling down for the latest horror, when you feel there are solid folk in office.
There are suddenly a lot of new books on leadership. I asked Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of the easygoing yet scholarly “Leadership: In Turbulent Times,” why. “Because we feel the absence of leadership now, not only in the president but in the Congress—the inability to get together and get things done.” When you lack something, you try to define exactly what it is so you can find it. We feel “a yearning for togetherness” and wonder which political figures might help set the nation in a common direction.
Ms. Goodwin asks questions in her book—“Are leaders born or made? Where does ambition come from? How does adversity affect the growth of leadership?”—and suggests answers through profiles of leaders under duress. She focuses on personal qualities. Leaders assume responsibility for pivotal decisions, transcend personal vendettas, try all paths to compromise. She tells me a good leader has “an ambition for self that becomes an ambition for something larger.” Leaders remind us we’re citizens, “part of the American story,” not merely anxious spectators. “In every moment of our turbulent times it wasn’t just the leader who was present, it was the American people.”
In his magisterial new “Presidents of War,” Michael Beschloss notes that since the founding, presidents “have taken the American people into major wars roughly once in a generation.” They have too often “seized for themselves the power to launch large conflicts, almost on their own authority.” The founders would be “astonished and chagrined” that the “life or death of much of the human race has now come to depend on the character of the single person who happens to be the President.”
Mr. Beschloss tells me his thoughts go to the qualities of leadership that Americans should demand when choosing candidates for that office: probity, judgment and “towering empathy” for those Americans who fight and endure our wars. “Lincoln demanded that a new military cemetery be located where he could often see it, so that he would be painfully confronted with the terrible results of the decisions he was making.”
I add these thoughts on political leadership (and “he” includes “she”):
A leader is someone who first of all means it, and you can tell. He sincerely holds the views he espouses: He is serious. Advancing them is his project and purpose.
The ideas he stands for are not merely policy points on an issues matrix. They are held together by a central overarching intention. The new nation called America will survive and thrive while holding to its liberties. The Union must hold. The Cold War will be won, and we will win it. The intention springs from a general but discernible political philosophy.
Politicians who can’t turn the dots into a picture are not artists but failed pointillists. They don’t present a full picture. In the end it’s all just dots. No one ever voted for long for a dot.
Great leaders are capable of arguing for the things they believe in. They can make the case. They can make you think along with them, logically, from point A to point B and beyond. Their words aren’t emotional, as politicians’ tend to be now in an attempt to make a sated audience feel something. And also because they’re confused about what eloquence is; they think it means fancy. When leaders rely on logic and fact, voters do feel something: gratitude at the implied respect, and a feeling of warmth at membership in a community of thought and belief.
Eloquence in political leaders is desirable but not necessary. Too much is made of it even as the real thing disappears. It’s good if you can make the case in a way that is memorable, and that voters can hold in their heads. FDR and Reagan were great and eloquent. But Dwight Eisenhower led American forces through World War II, managed the early days of the Cold War, and built the interstate highway system. Yet listening to him talk was like making your way through children pillow fighting—lots of noise but nothing that made an impression. His actions were eloquent.
Good leaders live in the real world. They don’t insist on grand ideologies they can squish down on your heads. They know the facts and work within them. They respect reality.
A leader is aware he is the object of many eyes. This puts a responsibility on him to act in a certain way—with respect for his own dignity and yours. Even if he’s not in the mood, he must uphold standards of presentation. Children are watching and taking cues. That means the future is watching.
A leader isn’t just trying to survive for himself, to hold on to power. Yet a leader tries always to survive. Good leaders aresurvivors: That’s part of how they show loyalty to what they stand for, by being there to stand for it. How to survive? Shift strategies and tactics but not principles. And admit when you’re wrong, in part because it’s refreshing. Politicians so rarely do it.
A serious leader bothers to have command of the facts. Leadership isn’t all airy impulses, it’s knowing local and national facts because you’ve studied and absorbed them. You did the work.
A good leader knows the difference between stubbornness and perseverance. When you’re afraid to look like you backed down, to yourself or others, it’s stubbornness. When you’re willing to pay a price for where you stand, every day, it’s perseverance.
A shrewd leader knows what time it is. He watches each side and sees what tendency is coming up, and going down. In that movement he spies openings. A politician fully alive to signs and signals would have seen the meaning, in 2010, of the town hall uprising’s major cry: “Keep your government hands off my Medicare!” The media found it hilarious: these stupid Republicans hate scumbag/liar-nObamaCare but love their entitlements. Democrats saw it as hypocrisy, Republican professionals as schizophrenia. Few saw it for what it was: a new Republican populism was rising, one fully aligned to big state entitlements people felt they’d earned.
When you, the voter, aren’t presented with candidates who look like real leaders, what do you do? Pick the closest to the ideal. Fall back on the practical. Make do with what you have, which is what we usually do.
Mr. Beschloss, in an email: “Choose a candidate whose values and heart and life experience you feel comfortable with, so that you can feel confident about the vast majority of political decisions they will make, if elected, that you will never hear about.”
Because they’re Republican. Instead, the media was busy slobbering over socialist-Beto O'Rourke in Texas. To be fair, there was plenty of media swooning over some women — New Mexico’s Debra Haaland and Kansas’s Sharice Davids, the first Native-American women elected to Congress, as well as Minnesota’s Ilhan Omar and Michigan’s Rashida Tlaib, the first Muslim-American women elected to Congress. All four are Democrats. Then there are the 10 “LGBT” members of Congress. All Democrats. And let’s not forget Democrat Socialist heartthrob commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest woman elected to Congress.
As our Robin Smith explained yesterday, “Democrat women [are] convinced that all American voters born with a uterus should conform to vote as a gender bloc.” And as Mark Alexander has put it many times, Democrats bank on women being emotionally incontinent dupes. Any woman who doesn’t vote Democrat — let alone runs for office as a Republican — is a traitor to half the human race. And Democrats freely blame women for whatever defeats they suffered last Tuesday.
The aforementioned long list of Republican women, however, shows that women are capable of thinking for themselves, despite Democrats’ best efforts to stop them from doing so.
Meanwhile, the great white hope for feminists still hoping to break the highest of glass ceilings may give it another go. That’s right — scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton is reportedly gearing up for White House bid number three. “Get ready for scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton 4.0,” wrote her longtime adviser Mark Penn. “More than 30 years in the making, this new version of Mrs. scumbag/liar-Clinton, when she runs for president in 2020, will come full circle — back to the universal-health-care-promoting progressive firebrand of 1994.”
We don’t know whether to cringe or celebrate. In her lucrative book, Michelle scumbag/liar-nObama bitterly lamented scumbag/liar-Clinton’s 2016 loss: “I will always wonder about what led so many, women in particular, to reject an exceptionally qualified female candidate and instead choose a misogynist as their president.”
Could it be that Trump’s policies better represented these women than scumbag/liar-Clinton’s “stand by her man” victim-blaming?
That may not continue, though. If scumbag/liar-Clinton does indeed run again, the strategy is simple: Demos will run 10 candidates so that, after the primary, they can combine all those disparate constituents into one “anger, fear, and hate” constituency, with women as a key piece of the coalition. The Wall Street Journal notes one ominous sign: “This Election Day produced the largest gender gap ever: Women made up 52% of the electorate nationwide and favored Democratic candidates over Republicans by an 18 point margin.”

Then there’s Florida, where Broward County elections supervisor Brenda Snipes is likely on her way out the door following the myriad of voting shenanigans on her watch. Politico chronicles the abuses: “Counting unlawful votes. Destroying ballots. Sunshine Law violations. Busted deadlines. So many controversies have bedeviled Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes — culminating in her office’s troubles in the aftermath of Florida’s chaotic 2018 elections — that her days in office are now numbered, insiders and lawmakers say.” She should have been removed years ago.
Meanwhile, Florida is in the midst of a recount of both the race for governor and U.S. Senate, and Palm Beach County elections supervisor Susan Bucher is complaining that the county will not be able to meet Thursday’s deadline. She blames bad voting equipment, which is laughable in one of the state’s wealthiest counties. By Florida law, if the county is unable to complete its recount by the deadline, then the originally recorded vote totals will be final. This would then confirm Republican victories for both the governorship and Senate and it would also most assuredly trigger Democrat lawsuits.
Speaking of lawsuits, the sore loser of the Georgia governor’s race, Democrat socialist-Stacey Abrams, filed a lawsuit asking a federal judge to allow the counting of votes cast outside the counties in which the voters were registered. socialist-Abrams contends that as long as the voters were Georgians it shouldn’t matter which county they are registered in.
Erick Erickson notes the dubious nature of this argument, writing, “State and county officials object because of the burdensome and ridiculous standard this would impose. Counties are responsible for their own voters. To be compelled to keep up with other counties’ voters would be too big a burden. Likewise, the alternative would be to centralize election processes with the Secretary of State. That is something Democrats in the state do not want as they are already convinced the Secretary of State tampered with the election despite a lack of evidence.”
Republican Brian Kemp’s margin of victory in the Georgia governor’s race is over 50,000 votes, with no more than 21,000 total outstanding votes remaining. In other words, even if 100% of the outstanding votes went to socialist-Abrams, she still has no possibility of winning. Her tactic here is to play up the false charge that Republicans are suppressing the vote, stealing the election, and endangering the democratic process. Nothing could be further from the truth, but the Leftmedia is more than willing to run with this despicable “neo Jim Crow” narrative.
It is Democrats, however, who will use whatever means necessary to steal elections or undermine the legitimacy of the victor. ~The Patriot Post
