A Professor's Resentful Tweet
There is a reason elitist academicians have a less-than-stellar reputation among the general population. These Ivory Tower inhabitants love to project themselves as being smarter and therefore superior to others. But the reality is this proudly expressed superiority most often serves to mask a deeply seated inferiority complex.
An example of this elitist arrogance was recently displayed via a Twitter message from Drexel University Professor George Ciccariello, who, on a commercial airline flight tweeted, "Some guy gave up his first class seat for a uniformed soldier. People are thanking him. I'm trying not to vomit or yell about Mosul." Yes, Ciccariello — the same guy who in December tweeted "All I Want For Christmas Is White Genocide" — is disgusted with acts of kindness shown to the American Patriots who sacrificially serve and protect our nation. But why?
The answer may be found in what motivates most leftists — their profound resentment of those whose work ethic, self-reliance and commitment to abiding by the law have proven to produce success. In other words, envy.
The envy of the Left is not merely about wanting more money, success or power but of something much more significant and enduring. It is a lusting for honor — true and genuinely earned honor. When Ciccariello tweeted that he felt like "vomiting," it's because he was angered at witnessing an act of respect and honor given to one who defends this great nation. The American soldier never demands honor and yet most Americans instinctively recognize one who deserves it. We honor our heroes. Ciccariello craves the honor he knows he has not earned and out of envy and resentment he tweets, to his own dishonor. As the old proverb says, "Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, honor is not fitting for a fool." ~The Patriot Post

Shifty Schiff Won’t Talk Substance,
Anti-Trump Innuendos Only, It’s CNN
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Jake Tapper goes through such convoluted and left-friendly sanitized phraseology and comments it’s sometimes difficult to remember where his sentence started or figure out where he’s headed or what he’s trying to say... What isn’t hard to recognize is that he’s providing a platform for the fake Russia story to be further propagated and the innuendos, both his own and those of lollipop head, Rep Adam “Shifty” Schiff, to be aired and advanced. Tapper gets his tongue tangled up from the outset as he desperately attempts to “safely” validate the Dems while disparaging Republicans and the White House, describing the raising of issues about “incidental” surveillance of Trump advisers and the “maybe even the President.” The word “incidental” implies insignificant in the usage, which is not the case. Collateral damage is incidental and might be a better way to describe what has taken place. Created plausible deniability for a deliberate espionage operation is probably the best description, though one that is too accurate and damaging to the globalist establishment cause for Tapper or Schiff to ever consider its use... http://rickwells.us/shifty-schiff-talk-substance-anti-trump-innuendos-cnn/
.James Dobson names 'villain' in plot
to destroy American families
by Bob Unruh
{wnd.com} ~ Dr. James Dobson, the pioneering radio voice of Christian and family values for tens of millions through Focus on the Family and now Family Talk is issuing a call to flood the telephones lines for two U.S. lawmakers... and the secretary of defense to object to plans to impose the military draft on women. In his April newsletter, he lists the office telephone numbers for Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., (202-225-5672), Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., (202-224-2235) and Secretary of Defense James Mattis (703-571-3343). “Please weigh in on what is happening here. Contact the … ‘players’ and tell them you will not stand for this intrusion into America’s young womanhood. Pull no punches. Irreversible decisions could be made at any minute.” He asks mothers and fathers: “Do you want your daughters engaged in combat situations during national emergencies?”... http://www.wnd.com/2017/04/dobson-names-villain-in-plot-to-destroy-american-families/
.Adam Schiff’s Weak CNN Interview
Supports Nunes, Trump Claims on Surveillance
by Joel B. Pollak
{breitbart.com} ~ It was an unusually muted response from Schiff, and suggests that the documents substantiate Nunes’ claims that the liar-nObama administration conducted surveillance on members of the Trump transition team... and unmasked the names of U.S. citizens improperly before the intelligence was disseminated throughout the government. He merely said that he did not “agree with the chairman’s characterization” of the documents, but did not elaborate or say Nunes was wrong. Schiff also added that he remained upset that the documents had not been shared with him before Nunes shared them with the White House, and he raised suspicions about the way in which the White House had obtained the information. In addition, Schiff backed off claims he made last month on MSNBC that there was “more than circumstantial” evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. When Tapper asked him point-blank whether there was “collusion,” Schiff said: “I don’t think we can say anything definitively at this point.”... http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/04/02/adam-schiff-cant-say-unmasking-seeing-surveillance-docs/.
Nasty Waters Calls For
Trump Impeachment Because...
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Maxine “untreated effluent” Waters has been the designated rabid dog of the Democrat Party since President Trump became elected, calling for his impeachment since before he even took office... For her the effluent is stagnant, the vile narrative the same, and the goals unchanging, diminish and ultimately defeat the President of the United States. If they’d put this much effort into ISIS, they’d be history by now. Waters made wore her now famous James Brown hat in her appearance on their first choice in Fake News, one of the many Democrat Party propaganda outlets, CNN. Waters is asked what initially sounds like a real question by Fred “the Neck” Whitfield, before it devolves into an obvious partisan scripted opening. The host asked, “Are Democrats seizing on a position of payback, so to speak, against this President, who tried to delegitimize ‘president’ liar-nObama with the whole birther movement, denying a hearing for Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland, and if so, what’s the risk in doing that?” Obviously Fred doesn’t think any wisdom is about to be coming her way, but some partisan attacks certainly are...Water, wake up and smell the roses.

Chaffetz: House Oversight Committee
to Subpoena Trump Admin for Late Docs
by Neil W. McCabe
{breitbart.com} ~ “I would hope the new president would get more aggressive and demand that these departments and agencies provide the documents that Congress is seeking,” said Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT)... who took over the committee at the start of the previous session of Congress. “I don’t think they are off to a good start.” Up until the end of March, the chairman said he indulged the Trump administration’s need to settle in, he said. The chairman was careful to note that regarding new requests the committee sent to the administration, the response has been prompt and cooperative, such as with inquiries into the Government Services Administration lease of the Old Post Office building to the Trump Organization, now operating the Trump International Hotel there. “That was disposed of right on time.”... http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/04/01/rep-jason-chaffetz-house-oversight-committee-to-subpoena-trump-admin-for-late-docs/

When California's lawmakers target your family
by Gina Loudon
{wnd.com} ~ Any common-sense American would know that you can’t write a law to put one person out of business. That would be unconstitutional.
But that is exactly what the Democratic supermajority did to my husband. They wrote a bill to put him out of business.
This is political retaliation.
My husband and I moved here almost five years ago, with a plan to take this beautiful state back from the hands of those bilking it into destruction.
The Democrats, in their unfettered power, are destroying California. Most of the land that could be developed is owned by the state or the feds. If you fly over the coast of California, you learn that there are countless islands just off the coast that can never be developed. Under the waves, valuable crude oil that sits untapped, nevertheless seeps to the surface and onto beaches, by force of nature.
California’s highest-in-the-nation housing costs and highest-in-the-nation energy costs are of no concern to the progressives who dream of a total housing ban. They are utterly unconcerned that California’s productive population is leaving, a primary cause of California’s pecuniary dire straits.
Approximately 40,000 farm workers are unemployed, and millions of acres of the most productive land in the country lie fallow as the infrastructure built to irrigate them is bypassed to save the Bay Area population of a ubiquitous, small bait fish. Drought-stricken California suffered as billions of gallons of fresh water flowed daily into the ocean and the people who fear “sea-level rise” do everything they can to limit the spreading of water over the land.
The absurdity of California law has become fodder for many a joke. But it isn’t funny to residents like my husband and me, who love this God-blessed, most beautiful of states. We aren’t willing to give up on her, but the clinically insane cabal running Sacramento from ivory towers in San Francisco won’t go down without a fight.
California’s leftist politicians work aggressively to give monopolistic control of all construction work to unions, which in turn convert taxpayer funds to their political machines – furthering their power and control.
My husband works on behalf of taxpayers and non-union workers by ensuring that taxpayer-funded public projects are done lawfully and awarded to the lowest, best-bidding contracting firm without regard to union or non-union status.
A former state senator, my husband has a long record of fighting for the rights of open shop (non-union) workers and contractors to have a chance to bid and save taxpayers’ money. But since non-union workers winning contracts defunds progressive political machines, they took special offense to my husband’s work.
In their tribalism, the non-union worker, 85 percent of the construction workforce is the enemy, subject to full open-season in Sacramento, where politicians pass one law after another to eliminate their ability to work. The cause of the non-union worker is the civil rights issue of our day.
When the California Legislature passed the bill to eliminate my husband’s job, I admit that I didn’t think it could get away with it. My husband sued. The federal judge rejected his claim while acknowledging “a political nature.” That landed us in the 9th Circus … uh, Circuit.
The First Amendment defenders at the Pacific Legal Foundation took the case. The PLF has a nine-for-nine winning streak at the U.S. Supreme Court, showing it does not take cases it intends to lose. California might have gotten in over its head this time. The Ninth Circuit is the most overturned in the country, and this may be headed to the Supreme Court and the Gorsuch majority.
Last week, my husband had to lay off his entire staff and contracted partners. This was a sad day. While California claims to care about people, it obviously wasn’t concerned about the jobs of people in my husband’s organization, many whom are Hispanic and other minorities.
It got very real that day.
Meanwhile, we are doing what we can to win the fight for this beautiful piece of America.
Many say we should let California secede from the union. It won’t happen. But as Jerry Brown continues to bankrupt the state, and then beg for disaster relief from President Trump, he will keep raising taxes. There are limits to what Californians will pay, and the middle-class exodus will continue to grow.
