liar-Clinton vs. liar-nObama on 'Self-Defeating'
Immigration Policy
by Political Editors: There was a specific term Barack liar-nObama used in his 844-word Facebook diatribe against his successor’s DACA reversal that demonstrates just how far down the lawless path today’s leftists have fallen. One of them is a phrase found in a 1995 speech by a man who, at the time, sounded much like Donald Trump does today. According to Democrat liar-Bill Clinton in his State of the Union address, “It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it.”
That phrase “self-defeating” was echoed by another Democrat, Barack liar-nObama, this week. In his wet blanket response to Trump’s DACA declaration, he asserts, “It is self-defeating.” Of course, liar-nObama throughout his remarks exploited the innocence of Dreamers to distract from the fact that DACA is unconstitutional. His retort is chock-full of emotional blackmail that lacks sound reasoning in its entirety. There’s a rational argument in favor of Dreamers remaining here in America, but that’s not the debate. The debate is over Barack liar-nObama’s breaking the law. Twenty-two years ago, even liar-Clinton understood that the “abuse of our immigration laws” is “ultimately self-defeating.” So is leftist orthodoxy that contradicts itself.

TRUMP Teams Up With PULOSI And
clown-SCHUMER – GOODBYE WALL, Hello DREAM Act
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ The message to Congressional Republicans should be as clear as it is quickly becoming for the rest of us who supported and ushered Donald Trump into the Oval Office. Things are different now... Far from merely failing to end DACA on day one or month one, President Trump is now firmly backing a Congressional amnesty for the illegals, and it’s not likely to stop with just that particular bunch. What’s to prevent his “big heart” and “love for the DREAMers” from including DAPA or other acronyms for screwing the American people as well? What initially looked like a pretty slick move to put the responsibility for getting rid of DACA on the slumped-over shoulders of the feckless Congress now looks like a first step in Trump pressing an amnesty package, what they like to call “comprehensive immigration reform,” onto the American people... http://rickwells.us/trump-teams-pelosi-schumer-goodbye-wall-hello-dream-act/.
Susan Rice Questioned By House Intel
Committee About Her Illicit Unmasking Campaign
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Former national security adviser and serial unmasker Susan Rice was interviewed in a closed-door session by the House Intelligence Committee for a little more than four hours on Wednesday morning... It was scheduled as part of their investigation into the alleged Russia, Russia, Russia collusion with President Trump, a crime that is still lacking any evidence of having ever occurred. The crimes that are starting to be begrudgingly given the attention the deserve by the committee, months beyond any hope of their witch hunt on Trump providing a case against him, involve Hussein liar-nObama using the United States intelligence system as a political tool to assist liar-Hillary Clinton in her quest for the presidency in 2016. That’s where Rice and her unmasking come into play. She’s believed to have and evidence indicates she engaged in the unmasking of private conversations of President Trump as a candidate and many members of his team and others and then played a role in the information contained being broadly disseminated, acts of domestic espionage which are illegal... http://rickwells.us/susan-rice-questioned-house-intel-committee-illicit-unmasking-campaign/.
2 Democrat Senators Show Hostility
to Religion in Questions for Judicial Nominee
by Tiffany Bates
{dailysignal.com} ~ “Do you consider yourself an orthodox Catholic?” is an unusual and inappropriate question for a senator to ask a judicial nominee. In fact, the Constitution forbids it... But that didn’t stop Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., from probing Notre Dame Law professor Amy Coney Barrett about her faith. Sen. Dianne Feinstein. D-Calif., also chided Barrett for being a practicing Catholic, proclaiming, “The dogma lives loudly within you, and that’s of concern.” Both senators appear to have forgotten Article VI’s admonition that “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Officer or public Trust under the United States.”...What does this question have to do with a judicial nominee? http://dailysignal.com/2017/09/06/two-democrat-senators-show-hostility-to-religion-in-questions-for-judicial-nominee/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTURnNU5tVTNNakEzTW1aaCIsInQiOiJlc3ZhUUs3QnViRFZLeUhPNVVpUkhKNjIzWWhPZjh5aXZMbUdnbTZsMW9JVFNsYWNkdGVRVjFcL1djcis1QnIxZFN4Y0ZqUUFYYXVKQVwvb1A0UjJCSG9BSUlDMHdxbWJXNVBwcFEydFFJYkRrRDRsYkNDQmVrVFc0eVRkT1RhRWNPIn0%3D.
Why Lisa Murkowski’s Senate Vote Preserving
liar-nObamacare Riles Alaska Conservatives
by Rachel del Guidice
{dailysignal.com} ~ Some Republicans in Alaska are frustrated that one of their own broke ranks to vote with Senate Democrats against repealing liar-nObamacare... Lisa Murkowski, Alaska’s senior U.S. senator, was one of three Republicans to join forces with Democrats to defeat the Senate bill that would have prompted a conference with the House on how to repeal the health care law. “We did have every so often the odd Republican who said that they supported her actions and the odd Democrat who said that they supported her actions, but overwhelmingly calls were in opposition to the votes and largely very frustrated with liar-nObamacare not being repealed,” Joshua Walton, executive director of the Alaska Republican Party, told The Daily Signal in a phone interview... http://dailysignal.com/2017/09/06/why-lisa-murkowskis-senate-vote-preserving-obamacare-riles-alaska-conservatives/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTURnNU5tVTNNakEzTW1aaCIsInQiOiJlc3ZhUUs3QnViRFZLeUhPNVVpUkhKNjIzWWhPZjh5aXZMbUdnbTZsMW9JVFNsYWNkdGVRVjFcL1djcis1QnIxZFN4Y0ZqUUFYYXVKQVwvb1A0UjJCSG9BSUlDMHdxbWJXNVBwcFEydFFJYkRrRDRsYkNDQmVrVFc0eVRkT1RhRWNPIn0%3D.
The President Shortened the Failure Theater
But He Increased the Odds of a Bad Deal
by Erick Erickson
{theresurgent.com} ~ Let's be honest here. The Republicans in Congress were always going to find some deal with the Democrats. They were always going to find a way to surrender ultimately... What President Trump did was just short circuit the process and shorten the length of time we will suffer through failure theater where the Republicans in Congress and the Wall Street Journal editorial page try to convince us a turd sandwich is tasty. The President did us all a favor. But there is a problem. By giving the Democrats a three month extension, the President has essentially compressed the legislative calendar. The GOP will now have to do tax reform, immigration, spending, and debt ceiling all at one time. This exponentially increases the odds of a terrible deal... http://theresurgent.com/the-president-shortened-the-failure-theater-but-he-increased-the-odds-of-a-bad-deal/.

Should Andrew Jackson Be Removed From History Next?
by Paul Albaugh: In today’s age of lunacy, we have witnessed groups of people trying to erase history by tearing down Confederate statues and monuments. Some people have even called for removing statues and monuments to George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, simply because they owned slaves. It’s as if the bad things in these historic figures lives overshadowed all the good that they did for our country and the world. At what point will the insanity stop?
Well, there’s another name being tossed around the “news” that deserves a little bit of review, but you probably won’t hear much about any of the good that this man accomplished. The debate over whether Andrew Jackson should remain as the face on the $20 bill has resurfaced, and by most indications from Donald Trump’s administration he isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Last year, Barack liar-nObama approved a change that would remove “Old Hickory” from the $20 bill and replace him with Harriet Tubman. We’ll agree that Tubman, hero of the Underground Railroad and a gun-toting Republican, is worthy of the honor for her courageous efforts to free slaves, but replacing Jackson doesn’t have much traction, at least not yet.
Recently, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin stated that there are no plans for changing any currency, noting that the primary reasons for such changes have to do with security purposes. Furthermore, there are far more concerns for Treasury now, such as the looming fight over the debt ceiling. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing also announced that it has received no instructions from President Trump to implement changes, and so, for the time being, we are still left with Jackson. Maybe antifa and other fascist groups will begin burning every $20 bill they come across in protest.
So why the renewed hype about removing Jackson, anyway? Well, as a public service, here’s a crash course on who he was.
Andrew Jackson was often referred to as the “People’s President” — the first true anti-establishment candidate to win the office. But he believed some things that are no longer acceptable in modern day America (and for good reason). Jackson’s vision for America did not include people of color. He was a cruel slave owner (who beat his slaves less than his neighbors, according to the official tour of his Tennessee residence) and detested abolitionists. He also paid no attention to the early movement for women’s rights. And he is, of course, most notably known for being responsible for the Trail of Tears, which was the horrific process of removing all Cherokee from the state of Georgia and relocating them to the Western frontier — what is now Oklahoma. Some 15,000 Cherokee were forcibly relocated, but 4,000 of them died along the way. In fact, all Native Americans were severely mistreated under the Jackson administration.
Jackson is also associated with the founding of the Democratic Party. “Old Hickory” wasn’t his only nickname; his political opponents nicknamed him “jackass,” which he took a liking to. In fact, he even embraced the donkey as the party mascot, and the “jackass” is the Democrat emblem to this day.
Jackson was a brave war hero, having led troops during the War of 1812. He won a decisive victory at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, which led to the U.S. procurement of land in present day Georgia and Alabama. He also led 5,000 soldiers in the Battle of New Orleans, and despite being outnumbered 2-1, defeated the British. Jackson was later appointed to lead the Southern Division in the First Seminole War, and notwithstanding a rebuke from Spain, his victories there led to Spain ceding control of its territory to the United States.
His popularity as a war hero propelled him to political office, and he was elected president in 1828, despite having lost the previous election to John Quincy Adams over the “Corrupt Bargain.” He was not like previous presidents at all. He was the first president to invite the public to inauguration ball at the White House, which earned him immense popularity among the people. (These invitees also absolutely trashed the White House.)
He didn’t get along with Congress on matters of policy and he preferred to use his veto powers over policy issues rather than constitutional. Jackson pushed hard to abolish the Electoral College, as he thought the people should directly elect the president and vice president. We’re fortunate today that he didn’t get his way, but his Party has never quite let go of the idea.
Jackson also went to battle with the Second Bank of the United States, which, although a private bank, served as a government-sponsored monopoly. He viewed the bank as a corrupt, elitist institution that manipulated paper money and had far too much power over America’s economy. His efforts led to a landslide victory for re-election in 1832 and eventually led to the bank closing in 1836, but turning over federal funds to his corrupt, elitist crony banking pals caused great economic harm beginning in 1837. It’s thus quite ironic that his face graces federal currency.
In short, his legacy is decidedly a mixed bag. In any case, while the debate on Confederate statuary continues, under President Trump, Jackson’s face isn’t going anywhere soon.
