Telling Big Lies About AHCA

Trump's Excellent Judicial Nominations Continue
By Paul Albaugh: Many conservatives may not be happy with President Donald Trump signing the $1.1 trillion spending bill last week, and they may not be satisfied that we still have a long way to go toward repealing liar-nObamaCare. Trump's record for the first 100 days is mixed.
Conservatives can, however, be extremely pleased with at least one dimension of Trump's presidency thus far, and that is his commitment to appoint originalist justices and judges at all levels. During his campaign, he promised that he would select conservative individuals to fill vacancies in the courts. That gave many voters leaning Trump the affirmation they needed. With his excellent selection of Neil Gorsuch to fill the seat vacated by Justice Antonin Scalia, that faith paid off.
By all indications, tapping a conservative justice like Neil Gorsuch was just the beginning of more to come.
To the dismay of some, Trump has not placed too much emphasis on rushing to fill executive branch openings, but he isn't plodding along with judicial nominations. In fact, the White House announced Monday that there would be 10 nominations to fill openings in several of the appellate and district courts. This is great news, but even better is that Trump plans to make his nominations to the lower courts a "near monthly event."
His slate of nominations to the appellate courts in this round is excellent and will no doubt have lefties cringing at the prospect of the appellate courts shifting dramatically toward the Constitution.
Fox News has the list: "Two of the nominees originally were on the list of 21 candidates that the Trump transition team considered for the Supreme Court vacancy left by Antonin Scalia's death, and ultimately filled by Gorsuch. They are Justice Joan Larsen of the Michigan Supreme Court, nominated to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati; and Justice David Stras of the Minnesota Supreme Court, nominated to the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis. The other nominees are Amy Coney Barrett, a Notre Dame law professor nominated to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago; John Bush, a Louisville lawyer nominated to the 6th Circuit; Kevin C. Newsom, a former Alabama Solicitor General nominated to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta; Judge David C. Nye, nominated to the U.S. District Court for Idaho; Scott L. Palk, a former federal prosecutor nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma; Damien Schiff, nominated to federal claims court; Dabney L. Friedrich, nominated to U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia; and Judge Terry Moorer, nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama."
These nominees are highly qualified and principled individuals who are similar to Gorsuch. They're likely to influence the lower courts decisions in favor of Rule of Law.
Court nominations have lasting impact on policy, too. Trump's travel ban is one of the policies that should have been carried out, yet due to activist judges, it was halted. It's a prime example of how important it is to select judges who uphold Rule of Law. President Trump understands this and he anticipates many more legal battles ahead from leftists who want nothing more than to derail his presidential agenda.
During Barack liar-nObama's eight years, he made 331 federal judgeship appointments. Russell Wheeler, a fellow at the Brookings Institution Governance Studies Program, notes that when Trump was sworn into office in January, Democrat appointees held 51% of the 673 District Court judgeships, while Republican appointees held only 34%. In addition, there were 96 vacant seats when Trump was sworn in. When liar-nObama took office, there were just 39 vacancies on the lower courts and Republican-appointed judges held 60% of the court posts, or 371 seats.
Trump's greatest obstacle to his nominees will be Senate Democrats, who appear poised to drag their feet and then vote "no" on every single one, just out of spite. So it's almost certain that his judicial nominations won't be confirmed nearly as expediently as Trump would like. But Republicans in the Senate need not compromise on conservative appointees just to appease their Democrat counterparts. That happens far too often with Republicans in Congress, but rarely ever the other way around.
Appointing judges to the courts who are principled and who interpret the law in accordance with the Constitution is of the utmost importance. If there is one area where can Trump can make a huge difference and put America back on track, it's the courts. He's well on his way. ~The Patriot Post

Trump Orders Review, Preparations,
Contingencies For Cyber Attack On Power Grid
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ President Trump has issued an executive order mandating the federal government to prepare for a possible cyber attack against the nation’s electric grid... The order, signed on Thursday, instructed the Energy Department, Homeland Security Department, DNI and state and local governments to assess their readiness, including any deficiencies as well as the means available for restoration in the event of such an attack and submit their findings in report form. Two days earlier Cyber command chief Admiral Mike Rogers said that several nations, including Iran, have been linked to disruptions and intrusions into our critical infrastructures, including the electric grid and financial network. Rogers said destructive cyber attacks on critical infrastructure are one of his two worst case scenarios. The second involves the threat of cyber intrusions aimed at manipulating data within networks...http://rickwells.us/trump-orders-review-preparations-contingencies-cyber-attack-power-grid/.
SESSIONS Backing Off of RECUSAL –
No Time For Dem Nonsense
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Many of us were shouting at the screen when Attorney General Sessions gave in to the demands of the leftists and recused himself from what he described at the time... as “any existing or future investigations of any matter relating in any way to the campaigns for president of the United States. Maybe he didn’t expect the Russia thing to go on forever, to be dragged out like everything else Jim Comey got his corrupt hands on, including the production of evidence, or a failure thereof for the Senate and House intelligence committees in their simultaneous investigation of the same phantom incident. He couldn’t very well have them discover things that he was himself trying to keep hidden. Sessions probably didn’t expect it to be used as a tool for the Democrats to neuter him, to broadly interpret his recusal to mean the most incidental applications to the narrow criteria he attempted to layout...http://rickwells.us/sessions-backing-recusal-no-time-dem-nonsense-got-real-work/

Uh-Oh liar-Hillary: FBI could reopen emailgate
by Alicia Powe
{wnd.com} ~ While Democrats and the mainstream media claim President Donald Trump terminated FBI Director James Comey because of what he might have found in an Russia meddling probe... the fact there will be a new leader at the bureau may have unintended consequences for scandal-plagued and twice-failed candidate liar-Hillary Clinton. The investigation into her emails and the immunity deals granted to liar-Clinton and her aides may be revisited, Brian Weidner, a veteran former FBI agent warns. “I would be surprised if they did not review all the investigations regarding HRC and come up with a conclusion regarding prosecution. The statute of limitations hasn’t come into play yet,” Weidner said in an email to Fox News...http://www.wnd.com/2017/05/uh-oh-hillary-fbi-could-reopen-emailgate/

Sens Grassley & Feinstein Destroy
clown-Schumer’s Comey Firing Conspiracy Theory
by Onan Coca And Jeff Dunetz
{lidblog.com} ~ Hey Senator clown-Schumer…push up your glasses and read this. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Diane Feinstein (D-CA) both agree that there is nothing to contradict what the president said about Comey telling him was not under investigation... In other words Trump did not fire Comey because the president was under investigation–he fired Comey because in his opinion Comey was doing a lousy job. Feinstein’s agreement that Trump wasn’t being investigated proves once again the conspiracy theories you keep spewing are nothing but an attempt to divide the country Shame On You... http://lidblog.com/sens-grassley-feinstein-destroy-schumer-comey-firing-conspiracy-theory/

The UN's Obsession against Israel
Under Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim, a former Nazi, the United Nations in 1975
Under Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim, a former Nazi, the United Nations in 1975
passed the infamous Resolution 3379, "Zionism is a form of Racism".
by Pierre Rehov
by Pierre Rehov
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) met once again on March 20 to debate "Agenda Item 7"... a mandatory subject of debate since June 2006, the only one whose goal is systematically to condemn the Israeli democracy for crimes the existence of which remain to be proven. The agenda, officially designed to assess the humanitarian situation in the Palestinian territories, in the light of the reports submitted by Fatah, the PLO and various NGOs, is part of a wider campaign, carried out by countries such as Libya, Algeria, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Sudan and Yemen. Israel is thus the only country on the planet to benefit from the doubtful privilege of being scrutinized on the least of its actions, through an agenda decided by its enemies...https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10334/un-obsession-israel

Democrats Keep Getting Caught
Telling Big Lies About AHCA
by Jay Caruso
{redstate.com} ~ The media world is focused heavily on Donald Trump and James Comey, but it doesn’t mean other things aren’t going on.
With the passage of the AHCA in the House of Representatives, the Democrats are ramping up on the scare tactics as well as the lies to make their case for the bill to fail. They are hoping their histrionics will scare Senate Republicans into cutting the bill back to the point it has no teeth.
They’re not just scaring people. The Democrats are doing it with lies, and they’re not white lies but flat-out whoppers that don’t pass the sniff test at the Washington Post and Politifact.
Here are some:
Kamala D. Harris’s claim that 129 million people with preexisting conditions ‘could be denied coverage’
Washington Post Fact-Checker: Four Pinocchios
Despite critics’ claims, the GOP health bill doesn’t classify rape or sexual assault as a preexisting condition
Washington Post Fact-Checker: Four Pinocchios
clown-Schumer…wrong to say ‘the bill goes back to the day when insurance companies could deny coverage to those with preexisting conditions.’
Factcheck.org: clown-Schumer lied
Representative Nancy Pulosi, Democrat of California, said the Affordable Care Act insured 17 million children with pre-existing conditions. “This is misleading. Ms. Pulosi’s office cited a 2011 Department of Health and Human Services report, but the 17 million figure is the upper limit of the department’s estimates. The report’s lower figure, four million, is a fraction of that, and most of those children already had coverage before the Affordable Care Act.”
NY Times: Pulosi lied.
These lies will continue to repeat. It is up to these organizations and the alternative media to push back against the lies. The lies will ramp up as will the hysteria.
