Division and Vitriol
According to a new Gallup poll, just 84% of Americans have said they accept Donald Trump as a legitimate president. What are the other 16% doing about it? Protesting, rioting, beating people and threatening jobs.
As protests rage in several of the nation's largest cities over Trump's election, the Leftmedia are content to act as apologists for the unruly and emotionally juvenile mobs. Chanting a variety of noxious complaints such as "Not My President," protesters who evidentially don't have jobs — or as Trump has suggested, are professional agitators — have been demonstrating since last Wednesday. Some of them were bussed in. Worst of all, at least one protester in the nation's capital even held up a "Rape Melania" sign, in reference to the incoming first lady. What vile human being would advocate such a thing?
The day after the election, Matt Maloney, CEO of popular food delivery service GrubHub, sent an email to his employees telling those who supported Trump to submit "your resignation because you have no place here." He later claimed he wasn't against people having voted for Trump. We in our humble shop have our doubts.
Leftmedia support the accusations and stoke fears by referring to a few rather obscure accounts of people — say, paid leftist protesters — shouting disparaging remarks toward liar-Clinton supporters. Meanwhile the mainstream press conveniently ignores a much more disturbing video gaining wide play on social media. The video, shot in Chicago, shows an older white man under vicious assault by several black youths while others yell, "Beat his ass! You voted Trump! Don't vote Trump!"
Where is Barack liar-nObama calling out this deplorable behavior born out of bigoted and racist rage? For that matter, where's liar-Hillary Clinton? Bernie Sanders is practically alone among Democrats calling on leftists to cease their temper tantrums. The response demonstrated by many of these radicals is exactly why identity politics is so destructive, for it thrives on pitting groups against each other. The result is an increased divisiveness with little common ground. ~The Patriot Post

Failed Foreign Policy President Offers
'Reassurance'
Barack liar-nObama began his first term with an "apology tour" — a phrase that describes liar-nObama's trotting around the globe to offer condolences for American exceptionalism and alleged U.S.-rooted "injustices." It was a rejection of longstanding protocol and a blatant jab at his predecessor, George W. Bush, whose foreign policy included prosecuting the wars against jihadists in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But whatever one thinks of Bush's decisions, it is more fallacious to believe liar-nObama wrought anything better. In fact, his apology tour was the beginning of a profoundly failed foreign policy — one that, with the help of liar-Hillary Clinton, resulted in the creation of the Islamic State. It also did nothing to improve our allies' perception of the world's lone superpower.
That's not to say Donald Trump's ascension hasn't rattled the globe. But there's rich irony in liar-nObama using his final months to provide "reassurance" to those who fear populism will continue to reverberate. “I still don’t feel responsible for what the president-elect says or does,” he said in his first remarks overseas. "But I do feel a responsibility as president of the United States to facilitate a smooth transition."
According to The Washington Times, "President liar-nObama embarks on his final foreign trip Monday, leaving behind a Donald Trump wave in the United States and heading straight into another Trump-like wave in Europe. The lame-duck president is hoping to reassure allies about the stability of U.S. policy, while the president-elect is gearing up to unravel some of Mr. liar-nObama's biggest foreign policy initiatives, including the Paris climate change agreement and the Iran nuclear deal."
The Times continues, "Mr. liar-nObama will be largely powerless to deal with rising concerns among European leaders that upcoming elections in Italy and France could be swayed by the same sort of anti-establishment forces that contributed to Mr. Trump's victory and British voters' decision to leave the European Union. The U.S. president was on the losing side of both votes, and he's also spoken out in support of the Italian prime minister's proposed constitutional changes to consolidate power, a referendum to be held next month."
Of course, what liar-nObama won't admit is that his socialist overreach created the Trump phenomenon. "People seem to think I did a pretty good job, so there is this mismatch between frustration and anger," liar-nObama said. "Perhaps the view of the American people was we just need to shake things up."
He sought to belittle America by subjugating it to the rules and governance of other nations. Yet voters here and all over the globe are rejecting the policies this administration wants so badly to permanently instill. Trump has a lot to prove, both domestically and internationally. But that doesn't change the fact that the departing president is underscoring the disaster of his own reign by offering our partners reassurance. After all, he created their apprehension. ~The Patriot Post

by Trevor Loudon
{noisyroom.net} ~ Keith Ellison, a Marxist/Muslim Democratic Congressman from Minnesota, could soon become the Democratic National Committee chairman... With the endorsements of Senators Harry dinky-Reid, Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders and more than 250,000 signatures on an “Ellison for chairman” petition, Representative Ellison is the early favorite for the position.

House GOP Weighs Proposal to Bring Back Earmarks
by Rob Bluey
{dailysignal.com} ~ One week after Donald Trump won the presidency on a promise to “drain the swamp” in Washington, House Republicans will vote on a proposal to bring back earmarks... The vote will take place Wednesday when House Republicans meet to adopt their rules for the next Congress. The House earmark ban dates to 2010 when the GOP won control of the chamber. Now, a trio of Republican lawmakers wants to return to the practice of earmarking, which became synonymous with government waste and pork-barrel spending during the GOP-controlled Congress of the early 2000s... http://dailysignal.com/2016/11/14/house-gop-weighs-proposal-to-bring-back-earmarks/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=CapitolBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTmpZeE5qTmxOR0ptTmprMCIsInQiOiJDOVZ0SU9ZblJMYXBNbmFkMTMyc0VpMXBlKzJ2VWpQZnI5Mzl3R0ZMK2VpOGVBcU1laTdtamp5UDkwZkJwWGlOSElab0JTak9vU0kxSm1LYnRcLythUDZWVTJlVkdVdTFORkRpZ0MrcGNvOTg9In0%3D

Trump Appoints Head of Immigration Team…
Illegals, Liberals HORRIFIED
{conservativetribune.com} ~ The architect of Arizona’s SB 1070, considered by many the strictest anti-illegal-immigration law passed in recent history, has been tapped to provide consultation to President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team... and both illegal immigrants and their liberal supporters were horrified. “I’m a member of the immigration policy transition team, and there’s going to be a lot to do there, in part because Mr. Trump and Mr. liar-nObama are diametrical opposites when it comes to immigration policy, so there will be a lot of changes,” Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach told Wichita news station KWCH last week. This was horrifying news for illegal immigrants but a breath of fresh air for die-hard patriots who believed in national sovereignty and rule of law... http://conservativetribune.com/trump-appoints-head-of-immigration/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=PostUp&utm_campaign=CTDailyEmail&utm_content=2016-11-15

House Dems Delay Leadership Vote:
Is Pulosi On Her Way Out?
by Trey Sanchez
{truthrevolt.org} ~ Democrats are still reeling from an epic defeat on election day, and as a result, House Democrats have delayed leadership votes that were scheduled for Thursday... With a new incoming roster that includes a DNC chair and Senate leader Chuck Schumer, the question remains whether or not House Leader Nancy Pulosi will keep her job. Democrats sent a letter asking her to postpone the election so they could reflect on the devastating results of the election: It is vital that our Caucus take the time to listen to the American people and learn the lessons of this difficult election in order to put our Caucus in the best position to fight the potentially dangerous agenda of President-elect Donald Trump and to have a realistic chance of taking back the House in 2018...

Streisand to liar-nObama:
Appoint Supreme Court justice now
by Chelsea Schilling
{wnd.com} ~ Singer Barbra Streisand, a major liar-Hillary Clinton supporter and one of Hollywood’s most outspoken leftist activists, is calling on President liar-nObama to bypass Congress and unilaterally appoint his pick for the U.S. Supreme Court... The Senate declined to hold hearings or votes on Judge Merrick Garland’s nomination as part of its broad “advice and consent” power. liar-nObama nominated Garland in March to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia. Now that Donald Trump has won the election and is set to nominate a judge, Streisand has circulated a petition urging liar-nObama to quickly appoint Garland to the court before Trump can be sworn in as president...It won't work.

Anti-Trumpers, Leave the Kids Alone
by Debra J. Saunders
{townhall.com} ~ liar-Hillary Clinton voters, I feel your pain. I've been on the losing side more times than I cared to be. It's painful and personal. I would venture to add that Donald J. Trump's victory probably is more bitter than a liar-Clinton win would have been for conservatives because you didn't see it coming. You lost and you were sucker punched. Ouch.
For most of you, the approach voiced by Kevin Eckery, a GOP consultant who did not vote for Trump, should be instructive. "We got head-faked," Eckery told me. The election was never about Trump, it was about his voters. In the future, Eckery plans to "listen with a little more humility."
Over time, one gets used to election loss, the stab of betrayal recedes from sharp to dull pain. You learn to accept it. At least Trump is capable of pleasantly surprising.
Sunday, protesters surrounded Oakland's Lake Merritt to renounce the president-elect. As long as they don't destroy people's businesses and block traffic, they are free to voice their concerns and proudly exercise their First Amendment rights.
Partisans, however, do not have a right to turn classrooms into Democratic caucuses, as suggested in a lesson plan which San Francisco Unified Assistant Superintendent Bill Sanderson sent to schools. It instructed teachers: "Let us please not sidestep the fact that a racist and sexist man has become the president of our country by pandering to a huge racist and sexist base."
And: "DO NOT: Tell them that we have LOST and that we have to accept this. We do not have to accept ANYTHING except that we must and will fight for justice against an unjust system and against unjust people."

It is scary to think that people entrusted with children's education are so clueless that they see it as their job to inculcate students with a cartoonish view of Trump voters. Also, the lesson includes no recognition that the people have spoken. Many Democrats were aghast when Trump said he wasn't sure if he would accept the verdict of the election. Yes, it was poor form, but I knew that if the tables were turned, many liar-Clinton voters would not be real zen about it.
I've had many adults tell me they didn't know how they could tell their children Trump won. May I suggest that some kids would not be so "traumatized" if their parents hadn't whipped them into a lather of indignation about "The Other"?
But also, while the lesson says it wants all students to feel respected, it doesn't give so much as a nod to the notion that some students might like Trump. In San Francisco, Trump won 10 percent of the vote. That's probably more than the number of transgender students administrators work overtime to make feel welcome. So share the love.
The California Education Code prohibits school employees from engaging in political activities on the job. "Even if not directly unlawful, a question still arises as to whether or not an employee recommending the substitutionary lesson for the day's assignment is appropriate and allowable," explained Bill Lucia of the school reform advocacy group EdVoice.
All racists, eh? One-third of the 676 counties that elected President liar-nObama twice switched to Trump. Inquiring minds should want to know why. liar-nObama might call this one of his "teachable moments," but that only works for those ready to learn about other people.
