Will liar-Clinton Challenge the Election Results?
by Nate Jackson: liar-Hillary Clinton is the sorest of losers. As we have recounted time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time again (and those are just the instances we bothered with), liar-Clinton blames everyone and everything but herself for her election loss. In fact, she’s lied to herself and others so often that she’s now evidently pondering a challenge to the election results.
by Nate Jackson: liar-Hillary Clinton is the sorest of losers. As we have recounted time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time again (and those are just the instances we bothered with), liar-Clinton blames everyone and everything but herself for her election loss. In fact, she’s lied to herself and others so often that she’s now evidently pondering a challenge to the election results. During her umpteenth What Happened book tour interview, she was asked if she would “rule out questioning the legitimacy of the election.” She responded, “No, I would not rule it out.” As Gary Bauer muses, “It would not surprise me at all if somewhere in New York City, Los Angeles or Chicago, there is an office of left-wing legal eagles scheming to use the courts to overturn the election.”
Remember after the second presidential debate, in which Donald Trump demurred on accepting the election results, how liar-Clinton and her Leftmedia cohorts went nuts? And that was after all Democrats and the media had done to rig the election in liar-Clinton’s favor. When that didn’t work, leftists came down with a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, vowing to #Resist everything he did. Now liar-Clinton is giving voice to their greatest hope — that they’ll challenge the election results and wake up to find it was all a bad dream.
This isn’t really new for liar-Clinton, though. It took a 2:00 a.m. phone call from Barack liar-nObama on election night to convince her to concede. And she’s spent every day since either dishing out blame or reminding people that she won the popular vote and thus we should ditch the Electoral College. Wrong — the Founders’ wise creation saved the nation from being forced to abide the decision of a couple million Californians. That’s right; if it weren’t for the Golden State, Trump would’ve won the popular vote too. So keep that all in mind as liar-Clinton rages in spoiled and entitled disbelief.
Update: Or never mind: “I think no one, including me, is saying we will contest the election,” liar-Clinton later clarified. “I’m in the very large group of people who believe that, you know, there’s no legal basis, no constitutional basis for that.” As if constitutional basis stopped her from anything else. ~The Patriot Post

Herridge – Deep State Plot To Take
Down President Trump Moving Quickly
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Robert Mueller is in the records procurement and testimony phase of his witch hunt as it now relates directly to the White House and staffers... Catherine Herridge reports that he has made “a broad records request to the White House covering multiple staffers that includes actions taken by President Trump.” She points to the reporting of the New York Times which states that the “special counsel has thirteen areas of interest, including the firing of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn as well as the firing of former FBI Director James Comey.” She notes, “The request reportedly included the May Oval Office meeting with Russian officials, where the President met with the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov. It is alleged by the Times Mr. Trump said firing Comey relieved the pressure on him.”... https://rickwells.us/herridge-deep-state-plot-trump/.
Chilling! Left on brink of socialist victory in U.S.
by GREG COROMBOS
{wnd.com} ~ From the podium of the United Nations to domestic U.S. politics, socialist ideas are frequently discussed and, in many cases, appear to be advancing – and now a new book concludes that the far left... which has been on the march for a full century in this country, is now on the verge of victory. President Trump took heat for denouncing the socialist regime in Venezuela during his address to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday and for pointing out socialism and communism result in poverty and misery whenever it is tried. On the domestic side, in just the past few weeks, more than a dozen Senate Democrats have lined up in favor of single payer health care, meaning the government would be in complete control of one-sixth of the economy... http://www.wnd.com/2017/09/chilling-left-on-brink-of-socialist-victory-in-u-s/.
‘Breaking Our Laws Is Now A ‘Great
Thing” — Tucker Shreds Pulosi For
Praising Illegal Immigration
by PETER HASSON
{dailycaller.com} ~ Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson ripped into House Minority Leader Nancy Pulosi on Wednesday... after she praised the families of DREAMers as doing a “great thing” for the country by illegally bringing their children into the United States. “Their families did a great thing for our country, bringing these kids here who are working, who are in the military, who are in school, who are a brilliant part of our future,” Pulosi said at a press conference earlier on Wednesday. “Breaking our laws is now a great thing, says one of our country’s chief lawmakers. People who ignore the legislation Congress writes, should be congratulated for it, says one of Congress’ top leaders,” Carlson said, noting the contradiction of lawmakers encouraging lawbreaking... http://dailycaller.com/2017/09/20/breaking-our-laws-is-now-a-great-thing-tucker-shreds-pelosi-for-praising-illegal-immigration-video/?utm_medium=email.
Rex Tillerson: North Korea suffering
fuel shortages due to sanctions
by Joel Gehrke
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ North Korea has begun to suffer fuel shortages as a result of international sanctions passed this month, according to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson... "We have some indications that there are beginning to appear evidence of fuel shortages," Tillerson told reporters during a Wednesday evening press briefing. Trump's team led a push to crimp North Korea's access to oil as part of a sanctions package that passed through the United Nations Security Council on September 11. The oil sanctions fell short of the United States original call for a full oil embargo due to Russian and Chinese opposition. A subsequent North Korean missile test renewed concern that the sanctions would not deter the regime, but Tillerson expressed optimism... http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/rex-tillerson-north-korea-suffering-fuel-shortages-due-to-sanctions/article/2635113?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Examiner+Today&utm_source=StructureCMS.
The Graham-Cassidy Bill Must Pass
by Joe Cunningham
{redstate.com} ~ In nine days, the Senate’s time limit to get some sort of liar-nObamacare reform effort passed expires... There is one last plan available to them – the Graham-Cassidy Plan – and it is currently the best and only chance to make some movement on the issue of health care reform. Let’s be honest though: This isn’t Repeal And Replace. Not even close. A large chunk of liar-nObamacare’s regulatory structure remains, pre-existing conditions are still covered, and it spends a whole lot of money at a time when you can reasonably argue the nation can’t afford to. However, the benefits of the plan currently outweigh that. There are certainly great benefits to repealing the individual and employer mandates, as well as block-granting money to the states to establish their own system, rather than rely on a large federal government structure to tell them what to do. However, the biggest benefit of Graham-Cassidy is that it inches us toward a more conservative system... https://www.redstate.com/joesquire/2017/09/21/graham-cassidy-bill-must-pass/?utm_source=rsmorningbriefing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl

Ignorant Nation
{townhall.com} ~ At a National Archives ceremony last Friday in Washington, D.C., 30 immigrants became naturalized U.S. citizens. In a video, President Trump encouraged them to embrace the "full rights, and the sacred duties, that come with American citizenship."
It was a noble sentiment that once resonated with Americans who believed passing along their history to a new generation of citizens was something that ought to be done. Not anymore.
One of the new citizens, Juliet Sanchez, a teacher born in Colombia, told the Washington Post: "We can and should respect, celebrate and embrace our new culture, but you shouldn't tell us to assimilate." This attitude may be one factor contributing to an increasingly divided America. The other is equally disturbing.
A recent poll conducted by the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center discovered that Americans are ignorant about the Constitution and the rights it protects.
The poll found that 37 percent of those interviewed could not name any of the five rights protected by the First Amendment. Forty-eight percent got freedom of speech right. Thirty-three percent could not name one of the three branches of government, and only 26 percent correctly named all three.
Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center, responded to the poll: "Protecting the rights guaranteed by the Constitution presupposes that we know what they are. The fact that many don't is worrisome."
One can't have a country if citizens are ignorant of its origins and purpose. When I was in public school, civics was a required subject. That it is rarely taught today likely explains the disturbing Annenberg poll results. Adds Jamieson: "These results emphasize the need for high-quality civics education in the schools and for press reporting that underscores the existence of constitutional principles."
Good luck with that. In an era emphasizing diversity and multiculturalism and the fear that anyone teaching the superiority of the Constitution might be named a xenophobe, or bigot, even the Pledge of Allegiance is being challenged in some schools in an effort not to offend immigrants.
Another study by the Newseum Institute discovered just 19 percent of those polled know the First Amendment guarantees freedom of religion.
Ignorance about the documents that founded and have sustained America through many challenges ensures the country we have known will not be recognized by future generations. That is fine with some on the far left who appear embarrassed and ashamed of America and think it the cause of many of the world's problems.
Hillsdale College in Michigan is trying to make up for this ignorance about the Constitution by offering a free online course.
The problem begins in the public schools and extends into overpriced universities. Writing in last Saturday's Wall Street Journal, Peter Berkowitz, a senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, said: "Few of the liberal arts and sciences faculty at these schools offer courses that explore the origins, structure, substance and aims of the education that they supposedly deliver. Instead they provide a smattering of classes on hot-button topics in higher education such as multiculturalism, inequality, gender and immigration. This is no trivial oversight, as the quality of American freedom depends on the quality of Americans' education about freedom."
Higher education's failure to educate produces graduates who find it difficult to find jobs and must return home to live with parents. Unfortunately, when they return, they're burdened with crushing student loan debt, which according to the Department of Education, is at an all-time high of $1.33 trillion. So desperate are graduates to wipe out their debt that the personal finance website, Credible, surveyed millennials ages 18 to 34 and found that 50 percent of them would give up their right to vote during the next two presidential election cycles in order to never make another loan payment.
What does this say about our next generation of Americans?
These polls demonstrate the failed products of a once-great American education system. It is why those who can afford it are turning to private schools or to home-schooling. Many consider public education to be America's last monopoly, but these polls indicate that it isn't working for individual Americans and it isn't working for the nation.
