“Donald Trump is questioning the Deep State and the shadow government,” Shipp said in a USAWatchdog interview on Sunday.“He’s rocking that place left and right. The news media is terrified of that. Their editors are telling them to attack him just like they are attacking him from the inside. It’s just dirty pool because they want him taken out.” Jamie White of INFOWARS wrote.

What makes America beautiful is FREEDOM. That is what the globalists want to take away from you. They will try to trick you into thinking socialism is not TYRANNY. They will USE the sympathetic figures to promote their twisted ideals. And if you are not VIGILANT, you too will be deceived! Don't let it happen to YOU. When the liberals lovingly refer to their "Doctor King" as a socialist, denounce him and his divisive agenda for what it was: FASCISM.

Video Tom Borelli Discusses Democrats Race Card Antics on Fox Business Network

Democrats are saying President Trump is a racist for political gain and to distract Americans from President Trump’s accomplishments.
With the economy growing, the stock market at all time highs, and low unemployment, Democrats desperately needed to change the momentum President Trump had following the numerous companies giving bonuses, raising wages, and the hour long White House meeting on DACA.
Conservative Review contributor Tom Borelli Ph.D. discussed this topic on Fox Business Network’s “The Intelligence Report with Trish Regan,” with host Trish Regan and Democrat strategist Robin Biro.
Yo, Trump Haters: Rand Reveals What Trump Did For Haiti Prior To Election – This’ll Ruin Your ‘Racism’ Fairytale
The line that Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon and the race-baiters on the ‘news’ want you to believe is that Trump is racist and hates Haitians.
Somebody give Snopes and Politifact the memo:
Fact-check, “False”. In fact, after reading this story, you might want to go back and question ALL the accusations of ‘racism’ and ‘white supremacy’ that they were so quick to report. Better still, ask WHY they were so breathless to report them.
CNN talking heads are still telling panelists that Trump is ‘absolutely’ a racist. And that was the real meaning of his (alleged) Sh*thole statement.
Unlike most leftist Slactivists, the ‘evil One-percenter’ Trump puts his money where his mouth is.
Paul appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” with host Chuck Todd where he revealed that Donald Trump, as a private citizen, was a major financial backer of medical mission trips to Haiti which resulted in life-changing surgeries for hundreds of Haitians.
Let the leftists answer how ‘racist’ Trump could say this?
When there was no political gain to be made, nor political favor to be exchanged, Trump bankrolled a mission of mercy… to Haiti.
Here it is, with full context. The relevant part picks up around the 30 second mark:
“I know personally about his feelings towards Haiti and toward Central America, because when I was not a candidate for president and he wasn’t a candidate for president I went down there on a medical mission trip,” Paul continued. “I did about 200 cataract surgeries with a group of surgeons in Haiti and the same in Central America, and when we asked Donald J. Trump as a private citizen to support those trips, he was a large financial backer of both medical mission trips.”
“So I think it’s unfair to sort of draw conclusions from a remark that I think wasn’t constructive is the least we can say, and it’s unfair to all of a sudden paint him as ‘he’s a racist’ when I know for a fact he cares very deeply about the people in Haiti because he helped finance a trip where we were able to get vision back for 200 people in Haiti,” Paul concluded.
But since the Clinton Foundation investigation is still going strong, maybe Haiti is a topic the news SHOULD be covering. Here’s a story that went public in 2015, well before Clinton won her party’s Primaries.
How the Clinton Foundation Got Rich off Poor Haitians

Ladies, tell everyone that you don’t like the emasculated, metro-sexual ‘feminists’ — you’d rather have a President with balls:
And gents, let everyone know that you want your President to be just as much of a man as you are:
Donald J. Trump is our 45th President. Why? Because Americans from all races and classes are sick of whining Republicans and corrupt Democrats. Finally, we have a President who isn’t afraid to say what he thinks even if it is not popular with the press. Trump is not a typical politician. Trump can’t be bought. He will back up what he says with action, no matter the cost. Finally. A president with balls!
Get yours today and trigger the leftists and the RINO NeverTrumpers.

Soros Vows To Continue Fight Against Plague Of Nationalism with His World Governance
George Soros has vowed to intensify his battle against national sovereignty, the obstacle that is preventing him from manipulating his way into a position of global domination.
George Soros’ plans to destroy the civilized world and then reconstruct it in his own design with him at the top isn’t going so well. Surrendering self-determination and one’s culture, language, national identity and religion isn’t attractive to most folks.
Soros announced in an interview with the Financial Times that he will continue his fight against the “plagues” of freedom, self-determination and Western culture. He’s attacking our Christian values and individual national identity by flooding our countries with non-assimilating Muslims because he knows that is the best way to achieve division, a precursor to conquest.
He vowed to fight the spread of nationalism, which he said has become the world’s “dominant ideology.” Nationalism has been around since the beginning of time, even longer than Soros. That is a fight he’s not likely to win. People like having their own countries, they take pride in being who and what they are. That is particularly true of the citizens of the prosperous and civilized nations of the West that he’s targeting for elimination.
In his complaints about the nationalists defending their nations against his attacks, orchestrated through his Open Society Foundation false fronts, Soros whined, “It’s déjà vu all over again with one big change — the dominant ideology in the world now is nationalism. It’s the EU that’s the institution that’s on the verge of a breakdown. And Russia is now the resurgent power, based on nationalism.”
The EU is breaking down because it is a tyrannical dictatorship, that prohibits self-determination by its member nations. He’s been busted sticking his nose into America’s business as well, in league with the corrupt globalist Democrats.
Jumping on the same bandwagon he’s using in attacking President Trump in America, Soros is blaming Russia and President Putin for many of the attacks against him. “Snowflake” Soros said, Putin “doesn’t like me,” failing to own up to his interference in Putin’s nation as well. Soros and his OSF have been banned from Russia for the “security risks” they present.
His unpopularity is not due to some unreasonable or evil conspiracy against him. It’s a direct result of his subversion against duly elected governments. The US taxpayers financed some of his international misdeeds during the regime of his puppet, Hussein Obama. Five million dollars of American taxpayer money went to Soros’ OSF in Macedonia between 2012 and 2016 to foment civil unrest, including the translation and publication of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals into Macedonian.
Speaking on behalf of the Hungarian government, Zoltan Kovács noted that Soros had, “never been elected by anyone, the organizations – NGOs, ‘human rights’ groups and so on — have never been elected by anyone.” He added, “[They are] clearly engaging in determining how political decisions should be made. And this is wrong.”
In Romania, the leader of the ruling party described Soros as having “financed evil” in reference to his stirring dissent and radicalism. Israel’s ruling Likud party was also targeted by Hussein Obama with $300 million of US taxpayer dollars. Eli Hazan, Israeli foreign relations director stated that he enjoys fighting the international troublemaker. He said, “If I can help other organizations or governments to work against Soros, I will do it with pleasure because it is a struggle of ideas that may shape the future in the world.”
In presenting the false image of the liberal idealist who somehow isn’t trying to topple governments, Soros mischaracterized his missteps as honest mistakes. His Georgian puppet and their former leader, Mikheil Saakashvili, is now under criminal investigation for allegedly taking money from a Russia-based oligarch to destabilize Ukraine. It does seem there is a pattern developing.
We’re supposed to believe that civil unrest wasn’t Soros’ intention all along, that this guy who almost destroyed the British Pound and the Bank of England, is a good guy who simply made a bad but innocent choice as to which politician to buy. Soros said it taught him a “painful lesson,” to “keep a greater distance from the internal politics of the countries where I have foundations.” Why does he have those foundations in those countries in the first place?
He’s saying that, as an individual, he needs to be more stealthy in the conduct of his attacks against sovereign nations so it can’t be pinned on him. In no way is he denouncing the practice, only getting caught doing it.
Laughably, Soros said he was committed, despite the “attacks on him,” to work harder to foster “liberal democracies,” what we know as communist hellholes, and fight global corruption. Apparently he doesn’t want the competition.
Soros announced that, despite his age at 89, he plans to remain chairman of OSF for another five years. Of course, that’s provided that Satan doesn’t call him home before then.

Former President Obama’s silent Coup d’Etat conspiracy unraveling
A politically motivated White House and critical elements of the National Security apparatus have engaged in a widespread and far-reaching organized crime operation. Their purpose: to defame, defeat, destroy and ultimately conspire to remove President Donald Trump from the Oval office.
Silent Coup d’Etat – the conspirators
In their quest to overthrow American’s way of life, the conspirators operate in conjunction with the heads of the intelligence agencies, the highest levels of the Justice Department, the Hillary Clinton campaign, and the DNC.
Their purpose was to destroy Donald Trump, elect Hillary Clinton, and cover up the criminal activities of Hillary Clinton’s State Department and the Clinton Foundation.
Together they conspired to frame Donald Trump with a concocted dossier of Kremlin disinformation paid for by the Clinton Campaign and the DNC.
The fall of the House of Clinton
Silent Coup d’Etat – clearing Hillary, targeting Trump
They destroyed every concept of justice and fairness in the process of clearing Hillary Clinton of pay to play bribery allegations and criminal obstruction in the destruction of 33000 emails under subpoena.
Fusion GPS, in conjunction with the Clinton campaign, the DNC, and the White House, pushed the Clinton/DNC/ Kremlin document to Clinton allies at the top of the FBI. They then used it to obtain FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign, Trump himself, and his associates.
When Trump was elected that same cadre of corrupt elite officials used the powers of the Federal government and the intelligence agencies to undermine the incoming president in an unprecedented attack on the political system and the constitution.
Silent Coup d’Etat – all the way to the White House
We now know that a silent Coup d’Etat was launched by Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice, Ben Rhodes, John Brennan, James Clapper and the senior officials of the FBI. That coup has been unfolding over the last two years. Its target is President Trump.
It is easily the biggest uncovered political scandal and criminal treason in the history of the Republic.
Constant leaks and attacks on the incoming President, from the intelligence agencies and the FBI, in coordination with the media, were an alarming early indicator.
Now we know that the same people intimately involved in protecting Hillary Clinton were intimately involved in the politically motivated conspiracy to take down Donald Trump with fake Clinton funded documents obtained from the Kremlin.
Meanwhile, Trump officials are surveilled and unmasked by everyone from Samantha Powers to Ben Rhodes to James Comey. Media leaks are a flood of unnamed sources. All push a discredited Russian collusion angle.
Hillary Clinton invokes a New McCarthyism against Trump
Silent Coup d’Etat – the real collusion was the Clinton Campaign, the DNC and the Russians
Now it is clear the only collusion with the Russians was the one concocted by Hillary Clinton, the DNC, Fusion GPS, the FBI and the Obama White House.
It is now clear that the FBI not only paid Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS, but used the dossier to get FISA warrants, perpetuating a fraud on the court.
Like some 3rd world tyrant, the organs of the government were purposely weaponized and used for blatantly political purposes against a leading political opponent.
Then worse, to defile everything we are supposed to believe about the use of power, those same agencies of government were used to orchestrate a sustained and coordinated attack on the duly elected President.
Silent Coup d’Etat – all the way to the Oval Office.
It is an affront to democracy. The outgoing President, now defeated, deliberately set out to sabotage his successor.
A cadre of seditious officials around him continues to attempt to do so to this day.
Do you think for one minute that President Obama or Valerie Jarrett weren’t aware of every step in the unfolding onslaught of this coordinated conspiracy to take Trump down.
It is inconceivable.
It was their minions, Ben Rhodes, Susan Rice, and Samantha Powers, operating on their orders, who weaponized and leaked intelligence surveillance.
Silent Coup d’Etat – the evidence mounts
We have the texts of Sr FBI investigator Peter Strzok to his paramour. We have his vitriolic meeting to discuss an “insurance policy” in the office of Andrew McCabe.
Strzok’s fingerprints literally stretch from exonerating Hillary Clinton, to launching the Russia investigation in the FBI, to interviewing and implicating General Flynn.
We have the senior FBI official Bruce Orr, whose wife worked for Fusion GPS. We have unprecedented bias exposed across a spectrum of senior Justice Department officials.
We have reams of bizarre, illegal, nefarious, politically vicious behavior from James Comey, who is as much Rasputin as he is a demented version of J. Edgar Hoover.
These are despicable crimes against the State. This is a seditious abuse of power, and a criminal conspiracy against a duly elected President. It is, in a word, treason.
All the principle actors: Obama, Jarrett, Clinton, Comey, Rhodes, Rice, Brennan, and Clapper, are consciously aware of what they were, have been, and are doing. They would make Nixon blush.
Russia, Hillary Clinton, DNC, collude with limy foreigner to throw election
Silent Coup d’Etat – What were they thinking
They thought they were going to get away with it. They were certain Hillary would win.
So was everyone else. Even the Russians were certain. No one expected Trump to win.
That’s what makes the whole Russian collusion story unbelievable to begin with.
But weaponizing a phony political dossier paid for by the opposition campaign, using it to get FISA warrants on your political opposition, and then leaking and smearing the candidate, and then new American President, in an attempt to cripple him, is beyond the pale of acceptable behavior.
Silent Coup – McCarthyite, East German, Stassi tactics
These are authoritarian, East German, Stassi tactics. These are third world, police state, Nazi tactics. These are open political crimes against the state, an attempted Coup d’Etat.
They have occurred, and are occurring, right in front of our noses.
The collaboration of the mainstream media with this McCarthyite slur is a calumny against journalism. It will forever tar the integrity and legitimacy of the media in the eyes of the public.
But why? Why not just accept the stunning election results of 2016 from the greatest Democracy on earth.
Because they had done too much. Their ass was in the wringer. They knew they were about to get caught. They needed an “insurance policy”. Everything they had done was about to be exposed.
Silent Coup d’Etat- treachery at the top of the intelligence agencies
So they attacked. Surveilling the transition team with trumped up FISA warrants. Leaking classified documents to the press to ruin General Flynn.
Heads of intelligence agencies were blatantly leaking classified information, and attacking the President-elect openly on a daily basis in the press and on TV.
Consider the undignified, treacherous, and seditious behavior of John Brennan, James Clapper, Susan Rice, and Ben Rhodes. Who do you think the leakers and the unnamed sources at the New York Times and the Washington Post were.
Just look at their malignant criticisms of an incoming President. Look at the stream of constant malicious attacks, from the very heads of the intelligence services and the National Security apparatus.
Look at James Comey’s consistently erratic behavior. The leaking of documents to get a special counsel. His bizarre duplicitous Congressional testimony and open hatred of the elected President.
Look at the manipulations and backflips to get a special counsel, Robert Mueller. Then look at how Mueller has staffed his investigation and sullied his integrity with one tainted official after another.
All of it is based on phony politically motivated Russian disinformation, agitprop, paid for by the DNC and Clinton Campaign and used by the FBI and Obama to attack and destroy President Trump.
Silent Coup d’Etat – Hillary’s excuses
Hilllary has squandered $2 Billion dollars in a failed campaign and they needed an excuse. They had created this infantile McCarthyite smear during the campaign, pushed it throughout the transition, into his presidency, and they perpetuate it today.
It boggles the mind. They must think we’re really stupid.
That doesn’t even touch on their underlying motive, the need to cover up the Loretta Lynch/ Bill Clinton fisaco, Uranium One bribery, Clinton Foundation corruption, State Department pay to play, and the ties between all of this and the top levels of the Obama White House.
Criminal conspiracies against the Republic of this magnitude cannot go unpunished.
The evidence is prima face’, clear on the face of it. There are few graver crimes than using the power of the government to destroy your internal political opposition. We should all fear that.
For now Obama’s silent coup d’etat co-conspirators better lawyer up.
They are going to need it.

{wnd.com} ~ Informing Iran, “The U.S. is watching what you do,” Ambassdor Nikki Haley called an emergency meeting Friday of the Security Council regarding the riots in Iran. The session left her and us looking ridiculous.
France’s ambassador tutored Haley that how nations deal with internal disorders is not the council’s concern. Russia’s ambassador suggested the United Nations should have looked into our Occupy Wall Street clashes and how the Missouri cops handled Ferguson.
Fifty years ago, 100 U.S. cities erupted in flames after Martin Luther King’s assassination. Federal troops were called in. In 1992, Los Angeles suffered the worst U.S. riot of the 20th century, after the L.A. cops who pummeled Rodney King were acquitted in Simi Valley.
Was our handling of these riots any business of the U.N.?
Conservatives have demanded that the U.N. keep its nose out of our sovereign affairs since its birth in 1946. Do we now accept that the U.N. has authority to oversee internal disturbances inside member countries?
Friday’s session fizzled out after Iran’s ambassador suggested the Security Council might take up the Israeli-Palestinian question or the humanitarian crisis produced by the U.S.-backed Saudi war on Yemen.
The episode exposes a malady of American foreign policy. It lacks consistency, coherence and moral clarity, treats friends and adversaries by separate standards and is reflexively interventionist.
Thus has America lost much of the near-universal admiration and respect she enjoyed at the close of the Cold War.
This hubristic generation has kicked it all away.
Consider. Is Iran’s handling of these disorders more damnable than the thousands of extrajudicial killings of drug dealers attributed to our Filipino ally Rodrigo Duterte, whom the president says is doing an “unbelievable job”?
And how does it compare with Gen. Abdel el-Sissi’s 2012 violent overthrow of the elected president of Egypt, Mohamed Morsi, and Sissi’s imprisonment of scores of thousands of followers of the Muslim Brotherhood?
Is Iran really the worst situation in the Middle East today?
Hassan Rouhani is president after winning an election with 57 percent of the vote. Who elected Mohammed bin Salman crown prince and future king of Saudi Arabia?
Vladimir Putin, too, is denounced for crimes against democracy for which our allies get a pass.
In Russia, Christianity is flourishing, and candidates are declaring against Putin. Some in the Russian press regularly criticize him.
How is Christianity faring in Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan?
It is alleged that Putin’s regime is responsible for the death of several journalists. But there are more journalists behind bars in the jails of our NATO ally Turkey than in any other country in the world.
When does the Magnitsky Act get applied to Turkey?
What the world too often sees is an America that berates its adversaries for sins against our “values,” while giving allies a general absolution if they follow our lead.
A day has not gone by in 18 months that we have not read or heard of elite outrage over the Kremlin attack on “our democracy,” with the hacking of the DNC and John Podesta emails.
How many even recall the revelation in 2015 that China hacked the personnel files of millions of U.S. government employees, past, present and prospective?
While China persecutes Christians, Russia supports a restoration of Christianity after 70 years of Leninist rule.
In Putin’s Russia, the Communist Party is running a candidate against him. In China, the Communist Party exercises an absolute monopoly of political power, and nobody runs against Xi Jinping.
China’s annexation of the Paracel and Spratly Islands and the entire South China Sea is meekly protested, while Russia is endlessly castigated for its bloodless retrieval of a Crimean peninsula that was recognized as Russian territory under the Romanovs.
China, with several times Russia’s economy and 10 times her population, is far the greater challenger to America’s standing as lone superpower. Why, then, this tilt toward China?
Among the reasons U.S. foreign policy lacks consistency and moral clarity is that we Americans no longer agree on what our vital interests are, who our real adversaries are, what our values are, or what a good and godly country looks like.
Was JFK’s America a better country than liar-nObama’s America?
World War II and the Cold War gave us moral clarity. If you stood against Hitler, even if you were a moral monster like Josef Stalin, we partnered with you.
From Winston Churchill’s “Iron Curtain” speech in 1946 to the end of the Cold War, if you stood with us against the “Evil Empire” of Reagan’s depiction, even if you were a dictator like Gen. Pinochet or the shah, you were welcome in the camp of the saints.
But now that a worldwide conversion to democracy is no longer America’s mission in the world, what exactly is our mission?
“Great Britain has lost an empire,” said Dean Acheson in 1962, “but not yet found a role.”
Something of the same may fairly be said of us today.
by Mark Alexander: If you haven’t figured this out yet, Donald Trump tends to be unfiltered and uncensored. While I don’t condone his coarse language or style, and see it as unbecoming the office he holds, the fact is those Trump characteristics resonates with the majority of “blue-collar” Americans. As I noted in my profile on Trump Wednesday, “He is a New Yorker, and he’s always acted like an archetypal New Yorker — brash, boastful, uncensored and unpredictable.”
In regard to Trump’s alleged “s—thole countries” comment, I would suggest that he should be credited with exercising restraint in his description of those countries by not padding “s—thole” with even more offensive descriptors.
For the record, most of your Patriot editorial team members have traveled to the countries Trump was referencing (among others), and some of us have lived in them. We can corroborate first hand that the remarks attributed to Trump regarding El Salvador, Honduras and Haiti, and some countries in Africa, are accurate — primarily because those third-world countries have been governed by corrupt regimes for generations. That does not, of course, mean that citizens from those nations have no value, and Trump did not assert that.
Joe Concha, media analyst for The Hill, noted: “This is how he speaks. He’s inelegant, yes. He’s unfiltered, yes. But what people like about him so much is that he’s authentic. … I don’t think one Trump supporter jumps to the other side because of this comment.” Actually, Trump’s remark will bring more working blue-collar Democrats, those who have been ignored by the Democrat Party for 30 years, onto the Trump train.
Predictably, Demos and their mainstream media outlets are feigning outrage that such a word was used in the White House. scum-Dick Durbin (D-IL), who confirmed CNN’s report of Trump’s comments, wailed from the fainting couch, “I cannot believe that in the history of the White House and that Oval Office any president has ever spoken the words that I personally heard our president speak.” What planet has he been on?
liar-Bill and liar-Hillary Clinton’s White House tirades, as described by their Secret Service agents, make Trump’s alleged remarks sound like playground banter. (And recall, it was liar-Bill and liar-Hillary Clinton who exploited the Haitian people for their own financial gain…)
Of course, all the hyperbolic rhetoric on the Left is all about their effort to paint Trump as a racist.
Their objective in doing so, is to cast Trump’s plans for immigration reform and border security as “racist” rather than protecting the integrity of our nation’s Rule of Law and the jobs of American workers. Democrats know that their political future depends on importing immigrants — a population they label as a victim class, which they can then exploit for votes. As Democrats have veered farther left, their working-class base has diminished. Rather than pivot their agenda back to the political center, they have doubled down on legal status for illegal immigrants.
Update: It turns out that CNN’s report was fake news. Though CNN ran the quote repeatedly Thursday, and other Letmedia outlets propagated it, Trump did NOT say it. According to CNN’s Jake Tapper Friday: “The president did not refer to Haiti as a ‘s**thole’ country,‘ though another source is claiming "he did say it about countries in Africa.”
Tapper says, “There was a conflation of two different remarks by the president.” He claims now, “When talking about 'temporary protected status’ countries as part of the immigration deal, it was mentioned that Salvadorans, Hondurans and Haitians have that status,” and that later, Trump made a remark about “s**thole countries” in a conversation related to Africa.
For the record, at this point, having to walk back the initial claim with the “conflation of the two” excuse would be sufficient grounds for any journalist with an ounce of integrity, and any other media outlet propagating the original claim, to issue a full and unconditional retraction. Of course, no journalist with an ounce of integrity would have reported this in the first place, which is why no such retraction will be forthcoming from CNN…

{theconservativetreehouse.com} ~ Last night on Fox News at Night with Shannon Bream, there was an interesting segment with a relatively unfamiliar face... Policy Advisor and Author, Sidney Powell, appeared on the show to discuss the concluding DOJ Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, aspects to the current congressional investigations. Michael Horowitz, the Inspector General of the Department of Justice, has been running a little-watched parallel investigation that is already producing results—when he is not manipulated or overborn by Robert Mueller. His name is not familiar to most Americans, but Mr. Horowitz has played an important role since President liar-nObama named him Inspector General (IG) for the Department of Justice in 2012... https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/01/13/interesting-segment-with-shannon-bream/
{revorloudon.com} ~ President Trump publicly rejected a proposed Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) amnesty deal put together by a “bipartisan” group of Democrats and RINOs... that would have given parents of so-called DREAMers “temporary protected status.” Worse, the deal would have opened up to illegal aliens who are “eligible for DACA but didn’t sign up.” Piecing together the proposal is difficult because “Details about the Democrats’ plan are still secret,” as explained by Neil Munro at Breitbart, who goes on to say that “advocates say it extends the amnesty to include the several million illegal immigrants who brought up to 3.25 million illegal-immigrant children into the United States.” President Trump responded to the proposal on Twitter, referring to it as “a big step backwards.” The plan was presented by Sens. scum-Dick Durbin, Lindsey Graham, RINO-Jeff Flake, Cory Gardner, Michael Bennet and Bob Menendez, all of whom are pro-Amnesty. According to CNN, Sens. Tom Cotton, David Perdue and Rep. Kevin McCarthy “pushed back at the scum-Durbin and Graham proposal.”... http://www.http://www.trevorloudon.com/2018/01/trump-rejects-proposed-daca-amnesty-deal-would-have-given-parents-temporary-protected-status/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+NewZeal+%28New+Zeal+Blog%29/2018/01/trump-rejects-proposed-daca-amnesty-deal-would-have-given-parents-temporary-protected-status/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+NewZeal+%28New+Zeal+Blog%29

{totalconservative.com} ~ Many Democrats, particularly in the House, are horrified that their leaders would even agree to discuss issues beyond legal status for Dreamers... and limited measures to curb illegal immigration. The concerns span multiple factions of the Democratic conference, and, combined with opposition from Republican immigration hard-liners, they could put passage of a DACA deal at risk. “We’re willing to give a little when it comes to border security, but we’re not willing to give away the whole hog and farm,” said Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus who attended the meeting. You have to realize that these Democrats aren’t talking about something big like the wall, which remains completely off the table even as far as the leadership is concerned. No, they’re willing to add a few Border Patrol agents to the roster…and that’s about it. No cuts to legal immigration. No end to the diversity visa lottery. No crackdown on chain migration. Nothing. They’re essentially saying they won’t vote for anything that isn’t a clean DACA bill – or at least one that’s as clean as you could possibly get in a bipartisan bill... http://totalconservative.com/democrats-dont-think-concede-anything-get-daca-amnesty/
Consumers Find Seattle Soda Tax Distasteful
First, some background. The city council signed off on a 1.75 cent per-ounce sweetened beverage tax last summer, which became effective on Jan. 1. This tax encompasses anything from sodas to sports drinks. According to The Seattle Times, tax advocates — no doubt in addition to yearning for more city revenue — reasoned that stretching wallets thin by utilizing the now-fashionable health-by-legislation model would prompt massive consumer turnoff. As Mosqueda went on to say, her team aspired to “impact norms and behaviors for folks in term of choice and consumption.” There were certainly impacts — and they were directed against the “leadership” of city council members.
Just days into the new tax, Twitter users began venting their frustration. One picture, taken at a local Costco, revealed a staggering price of $17.55 for a case of three dozen 12 oz. Dr. Pepper cans. Costco took the liberty of revealing both its price ($9.99) and the cutely named “City of Seattle Sweetened Beverage Recovery Fee” ($7.56). You read that right — the tax was nearly aligned with the retail price. Gatorade wasn’t any better — for a person buying 35 of the 16.9 oz. variety pack, the retail price ($15.99) and the “recovery fee” ($10.34) added up to $26.33. But Costco, in text conveniently located alongside the price description, rose from masterful trolling to superior outwitting. The store pointed out to customers that a short drive to the suburbs could save them big bucks.
Of course, such backlash was hiding in plain site. For example, in Philadelphia, where a similar scheme was enacted, research by the marketing firm Catalina discovered a 55% sales decline on soft drinks within the city limits, whereas sales climbed 38% in the outskirts. Catalina tellingly noted, “Many shoppers are now traveling outside the city to buy their sweetened beverages.” Seattle is going to experience the exact same aftermath. And its suburbs will gladly take the financial boon.
Seattle has quickly become one of the nation’s premier examples of socialist incompetence. In 2016, the city concealed its “gun tax” debacle after it ran into similar misfortune and firearms dealers packed up to set sail for more business-friendly surroundings. In 2017, the city’s attempt to foster a “livable” minimum wage had unsurprisingly inverse results. In essence, the poor become poorer. And in November, a superior court judge ruled against an income tax on wealthy residents. Now city residents are faced with an absurd, autocratic and Orwellian ordinance that demands they get healthy. Which is ironic coming from Democrat leaders who continuously preach, “My body, my choice.” No wonder residents are resorting to revoltish tactics. ~The Patriot Post

At least that’s what the mainstream media want you to believe. Then again, haven’t they been saying that during the entire first year of Donald Trump’s presidency? Heck, weren’t they predicting the same gloom and doom for Republicans in 2016? Nonetheless, Democrats are feeling good right now and boasting of their prospects in the next two elections.
True, Democrats aren’t all talk. Billionaire Leftist Tom Steyer is putting his money where his mouth is. As Ben Kamisar writes in The Hill, “Steyer plans to channel the money in the House effort, which he said would total at least $30 million, toward his advocacy group, NextGen America. Steyer, who has also funded a multi-million dollar ad campaign calling for President Trump’s impeachment, wants to use the $30 million to boost turnout among millennial voters across 10 states.”
Notably, however, Steyer has reduced his Demo graft — having dumped $74 million into the 2014 midterm when voters gave Republicans control of the Senate and their largest House majority since 1928. He then spent $91 million for Democrats in the 2016 election, when Republicans held their majorities and elected Donald Trump. And his $20 million on a campaign to impeach Trump resulted in only 58 of 435 House members voting to impeach — that’s $344,827.59 per vote.
Clearly, leftist billionaire bucks alone aren’t enough to win elections. If it were, The Pantsuit would be president. What message are the Democrats going to run on? Taking back your tax cuts? Taking away your doctor? Sending companies back overseas? Dialing the Dow back to 17,000? Pushing for peace with the Islamic State? Let’s face it: Their platform is higher taxes, bigger government and more illegal immigration. And loathing Donald Trump.
Indeed, Nancy Pulosi scoffed, “In terms of the bonus that corporate America received versus the crumbs that they are giving workers to kind of put the schmooze on is so pathetic. It’s so pathetic.”
Other issues Democrats face include betting on history (the minority party usually picks up seats in mid-term elections), hoping that Americans will see the election as a referendum on the Trump presidency, and counting on favorable polls. But it’s what Democrats aren’t looking at that could upend their hopes of taking back the Congress.
As it stands, Democrats lack a compelling message for fixing any major problem facing the country. The utter dearth of any agenda is astounding.
Yes, they’ve embraced a cynical and convenient crusade against sexual harassment, but they’re otherwise a rudderless opposition party. In the end, Dan Balz of The Washington Post asks a critical question: “As they begin what amounts to a three-year campaign cycle of midterm elections followed by a critically important 2020 presidential race, will Democrats be forthright in assessing and dealing with their own vulnerabilities?” Democrats are still a party in denial.
They don’t get Trump, they don’t get why he beat liar-Hillary Clinton, and they don’t get the Republican Party. Former Democrat aide Brent Budowsky suggests, “On fundamental issues that motivate voters, the Trump Republicans include the entire upper strata of Republican leadership in the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives. There is barely a dime’s worth of difference between the policies of President Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, Roy Moore of Alabama, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.)”
Not a dime’s worth of difference? This is why Democrats lose elections. They make assumptions about what Republicans and their voters think, they tell pollsters about their assumptions, and then they come up with every conspiracy theory they can think of to explain their losses. There’s a world of difference between Trump and Ryan and McConnell (and 250 other Republicans). That’s why it took nearly a year for the Republicans in Congress to send a major piece of legislation to the president’s desk. They couldn’t agree on anything.
Peter Hanby raises some additional concerns for Democrats in stating that “partisan gerrymandering has lowered the number of competitive House seats, that most of the competitive Senate races are taking place in red states where Trump is more popular than the national average, that the economy is actually doing pretty well. All of them are true. The Senate map is particularly difficult terrain for Democrats, who would have to win in places like Arizona, North Dakota, Missouri, and Tennessee to take back the upper chamber.”
Reading headlines from leftist websites and newspapers is enough to dampen the spirits of any conservative these days, but reading beyond the headlines shows that there’s a lot of wishful thinking going on in Democrat think-tanks and media outlets. Still, Democrats really like their chances in the 2018 midterms.
Political science professor Eric Smith has projected a Democrat takeover of the House, and possibly the Senate, based on a model he “drew on a forecasting model originally developed by political scientists Michael Lewis-Beck and Tom Rice.” Smith writes, “The model predicts that the Republicans will lose 38 seats in the House, a number that would give the Democrats a majority in the next Congress. But it’s important to note that simple models such as this one produce forecasts with real uncertainty. In this case, you can think of the forecast as having a ‘margin of error’ of 38 seats. Thus, a Democratic gain is likely, but the size of that gain is difficult to predict with confidence. Still, a House majority is very much within the Democrats’ reach.”
Is that all they can come up with? As for the GOP, the key will be whether they can keep their act together as they did on tax cuts.
Larry P. Arnn, president of Hillsdale College, gives credence to this notion, opining, “Trump has addressed this problem more directly than anyone since Ronald Reagan — in some ways, more than anyone including Reagan. He would drain the swamp. He would abolish the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Education. He has rallied the people in direct opposition to their governing elite. He has appealed to the people directly in opposition to their government.”
But what about the Trump administration’s significant and numerous accomplishments, as outlined by Mark Alexander in “The Trump Effect”? Arnn notes that we now have “a constitutional majority that controls all the popular branches at the federal level, soon to have a profound effect on the judiciary. In addition, his party advanced from a strong position in state legislatures and governorships. The party of Trump, if the Republican Party is that party, is in a position to make changes, as good or better a position as it has enjoyed since the Great Society.”
Between now and November, the degree to which President Trump is able to realize his bold vision for the country will have a significant impact on the election. That’s why speculation at this point should be taken with a grain of salt. ~The Patriot Post

France: Truck drivers are attacked by Muslim migrants EVERY DAY in Calais
Truckers on Calais are on the front lines of the jihad in Europe. (Scroll here) Many drivers, who are saddled with mortgages and families to look after, have no choice but to carry on despite the risks.
Daily attacks at a rate of five or six every day. These attacks, perpetrated by people who, we are supposed to believe, are in need of international protection, have already led to fatalities. Perhaps it is the truckers who are in need of international protection — but European governments just don’t care.
British drivers have been warned for months not to stop their vehicles near the port of Calais because of hijackings, stabbings, beatings, etc. The Muslim migrants create their own roadblock, “so truckers have to stop, then suddenly they found themselves surrounded by 150 migrants.”
Why Calais? Because Muslim migrants want to cross the English Channel.

LORRY drivers are being attacked on a daily basis in Calais, Richard Burnett, chief executive of the Road Haulage Association said.
By Abigail Morris, The Express, Jan 10, 2018:
There are still five or six reported attacks on lorry drivers in Calais a day despite the migrant camp being closed down in October 2016, Burnett said, but that number could be higher.Speaking to BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire, he said: “It’s having a dramatic impact on drivers.“I think before we talk about that impact, it’s fair to say that the camp was closed in October 2016 so it’s well over a year since it closed.“It might have dropped out of the gaze of the media but it certainly hasn’t stopped.“Even since that point drivers have been continually attacked on a daily basis over that intervening period.”Burnett said migrant traffickers are putting boulders in the roads or lying down in the road to stop drivers.He said: “What we’re still seeing, we’re seeing attacks by traffickers, who, their modus operandi is to throw bricks, stones, put concrete boulders in the road, even lie in the road, to effectively stop drivers.“In order to create a queue and to jump on vehicles so as an industry we’re still facing this issue, this issue has not gone away.”
Asked how many attacks there had been in December, he said that number was hard to quantify but that they received five or six calls a day on a helpline.He said: “It’s difficult to actually quantify and put a number on it.“We set up a helpline so that we could actually get information on a daily basis so for those that are reporting it, we’re getting daily reports of probably five or six attacks.“We know the numbers are far higher than that and the attempts to get on vehicles are far higher than that on a daily basis as well.”Around 700 migrants are living rough again in the area where the Calais Jungle once stood, charities estimate.The camp was the centre for the international migrant crisis, housing over 10,000 people before it was shut down by more than 1,2000 police and officials in October 2016 on the orders of former French President Francois Hollande.

Paris: How the city of light became the city of garbage
21st century Paris increasingly is unrecognizable from 20th century Paris, thanks to the hijrah (immigration jihad).
The destruction of Paris: How the city of light became the city of garbage
By Voice of Europe. 13 January 2018:
Last year more than 100,000 migrants requested asylum in France, an increase of 17 per cent compared with 2016 and the highest ever recorded.
France is a large country and its ability to temporarily house migrants shouldn’t be a big problem, in theory. In practice, however, migrants don’t migrate once in France, ironically, but concentrate; the best example being the infamous Calais camp or “Jungle”, from where they seek a way of entering the United Kingdom.

Besides that, a lot of migrants are also concentrated in France’s larger cities such as Bordeaux, Paris and Lille. These cities already had large migrant populations, a large underclass and probably more than a few no-go zones as well.
After the Calais jungle camp was demolished, things became worse. Mayors of seven major French cities rang the alarm because they could not help and accommodate the endless stream of migrants.
Entire neighbourhoods were transformed into garbage dumps
In addition, thousands of migrants went to Paris. Soon, Paris became the new Calais camp replete with tents, mattresses and mountains of garbage on the streets. Their mere presence changed large swathes of the French capital from a city that was once Europe’s cultural centre, a beacon of civilisation, into an almost literal Third World migrant jungle.
Several ghetto camps formed throughout the city, it was as if the banlieues (suburbs) where rioting and car burnings occur with little pretext had moved themselves into the centre of the city; entire neighbourhoods were transformed into garbage dumps. Near canals, metro tracks, train stations, parks and even near a road in the 19th arrondissement of Paris vast mountains of rubbish accumulated.

French police forcefully removed these camps more than 10 times but they reappear within days, likely aided and abetted by so-called NGOs that facilitate a lot of Europe’s colonisation by third world migrants. A police staff member who wanted to remain anonymous told the Local:
“The problem is already here. The refugees have always moved between Calais and Paris, often depending on what action police take down here.”
There will be no short term solution for Paris, as president Macron’s plans for stricter immigration laws face strong opposition. The citizens of Paris and the millions of tourists who visit her every year are forced to accept that the city of lights has been extinguished, civilisation has ceased and it has become a garrison of garbage.

New socialist UN Secretary General has unveiled his plan to promote global mass migration. Flush the UN from America NOW!
This should make steam escape from your ears.
The UN’s new Secretary General, who has been in office all of 14 days, is unveiling his plan to promote global mass migration. Not kidding!
SecGen Antonio Guterres, former Prime Minister of Portugal from the Socialist Party, intends to jam his globalist/socialist agenda down your throat, whether you like it or not.
He claims that this will be an “overarching international agreement.” Uh-huh. Take your international agreement and pound it up your exhaust port, Antonio!
I may not know President Trump very well, but I do know that he and Ambassador Haley will never sign on to such a steaming pile of stupidity.
Tell you what, Antonio, let’s test your plan in an incubator. Let’s redirect all of the migrants who are currently invading European countries to Portugal. Portugal gets them all. Let’s build a wall around Portugal so they can’t get out and infect neighboring countries.
Let’s allow the experiment two full years to mature. You get no financial help from the UN or any other country. You are on your own.
Millions of these productive, wonderful, decent citizens of earth flooding into Portugal every month for the next two years. After two years, let us know how it is working out, you fucking moron!
Do I sound bitter?
From Breitbart
United Nations Secretary General António Guterres has unveiled his plan to promote global mass migration in the left-liberalGuardian newspaper.
Guterres, a former Socialist Party prime minister in his native Portugal, took over the top job at the UN on January 1st, having previously served as the institution’s High Commissioner for Refugees.
His article, titled ‘Migration can benefit the world. This is how we at the UN plan to help’, makes the bold claim that mass migration “powers economic growth, reduces inequalities and connects diverse societies”, in order to promote the Global Compact for Migration.
“This will be the first overarching international agreement of its kind,” he boasted — but claimed it would not “place any binding obligations on states”, but rather serve as “an unprecedented opportunity for leaders to counter the pernicious myths surrounding migrants”.
These assurances have failed to convince the Donald Trump administration in the United States, with the White House rejected it as “simply not compatible with US sovereignty”, and President Trump summarising it as “no borders, everyone can come in!”
Prime Minister Theresa May’s government in the United Kingdom has not pulled out, however — apparently unconcerned by its implications.
Guterres said it was crucial to “recognise and reinforce the benefits of migration … Migrants make huge contributions to both their host countries and countries of origin.”
He made the contentious claim that migrants “take jobs” that local workers “cannot” fill, and asserted that this is a positive thing. He also attempted to spin the fact that migrants send huge sums of money straight out of their host countries and back to their countries of origin as a kind of supplement to foreign aid.
The new secretary general is not the first senior UN figure to extoll the supposed benefits of mass migration. The intergovernmental institution has promoted it as “inevitable, necessary, and desirable” through its #ForMigration campaign for some time.
Former UN Special Representative for Migration Peter Sutherland, a heavyweight globalist who was a key player on a host of other global bodies and multinational corporations as well, was one its most prominent mass migration advocates before he passed away earlier this month.
In 2012, he infamously remarked that the European Union — which he had previously served as a European Commissioner — should be doing its best to “undermine national homogeneity” and promote “multicultural states” through mass migration.

{wnd.com} ~ Seventeen years after granting “temporary protected status” to nearly 200,000 Salvadoran citizens who had fled earthquakes in 2001 or who were already here illegally and claimed they were unable to return to their homeland because of civil strife, America is setting a deadline:
Get right with the law or go home.
As if we haven’t shown enough generosity to these provisional guests in our home, the Department of Homeland Security gave the Salvadorans until September 2019 to get their affairs in order. But the usual suspects in the permanent Gang of Amnesty – identity-politics Democrats, Big Business Republicans, anti-rule of law activists and sovereignty-sabotaging pundits – condemned the Trump administration’s announcement this week with a heaping dose of hyperbole.
Maria Rodriguez, executive director of the Florida Immigrant Coalition, called the move a “racial cleansing.”
Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin called the revocation “monstrous” and called on Democrats to hold government funding hostage until the nearly two-decade-old “temporary” protections were restored indefinitely.
NBC analyst Anand Giridharadas likened the decision to “the German occupation of, and use of forced labor from, Belgium in World War I; and the Armenian genocide.”
That’s insanity. Here’s a proposal. How about I force my way into Mr. Giridharadas’ residence uninvited and demand to stay for at least 17 years under the guise of seeking “temporary” shelter. Would he consider a rational and responsible decision to evict me and reclaim his home for himself and his family tantamount to a war crime?
Enforcing a limit on humanitarian gestures is the responsible thing for any self-sustaining nation to do. Previous Democrat and Republican presidents, however, have shirked their duty – opting instead to renew illegal alien protections ad nauseam. So beneficiaries of our supposedly time-limited generosity established families and footholds here. They gained permanent residency, work permits and other taxpayer-subsidized benefits, along with ever-expanding lobbying power as a political constituency.
The Temporary Protected Status program was supposed to provide short-term relief and shelter to people from foreign countries hit by natural disasters, environmental catastrophes, civil war, epidemic diseases or other “extraordinary and temporary conditions.” But they were always expected to go back home when those conditions improved.
The federal statute that created TPS clearly mandates terminating the protections once the conditions that led to TPS designation no longer exist. The law “prohibits judicial review of any determination with respect to the designation, termination, or extension of TPS” and “prohibits the Senate from considering legislation that would adjust the status of TPS aliens to that of a lawful temporary or permanent resident” once the status is removed, according to former House Judiciary Committee immigration counsel Nolan Rappaport.
Back in 1999, however, the Federation for American Immigration Reform warned Congress:
“Each special program that provides short-term relief has been followed by persistent demands for similar treatment by other groups and nationalities, not necessarily made up of persons in the same circumstances. It has now been politicized beyond recognition, and certainly no longer deserves the support of the general public.”
Indeed, TPS turned into TINO: Temporary in Name Only. Illegal aliens from Honduras and Nicaragua were added to the list, followed by citizens of Haiti, Nepal, Syria, Angola, Sudan, Yemen, Montserrat and more. To date, we’ve granted sacrosanct TPS status to more than 400,000 people from a total of 22 countries who have grown increasingly entitled to automatic renewal of their protections every 18 months over the past two decades.
There’s no polite way to tell house guests who’ve overstayed their welcome that it’s time to go, but perpetual amnesty for illegal aliens – whether it’s called TPS, DACA or DREAM – will only beget more illegal immigration.
Time’s up.
Fiat Chrysler to move plant from Mexico to Michigan, pay out bonuses
DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler is moving production of heavy-duty trucks from Mexico to Michigan and paying bonuses to US workers in response to the passage of US tax reform late last year.
The automaker will invest $1 billion in its Warren Truck Assembly Plant to make the Ram Heavy Duty Truck starting in 2020. That truck is currently made in Saltillo, Mexico, where workers will continue to make commercial vehicles.
FCA says the Warren plant will add 2,500 new jobs.
The company also plans to pay $2,000 bonuses this spring to about 60,000 hourly and salaried US employees. Senior executives won’t get the bonus.
FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne says the company should adjust its manufacturing footprint to reflect “improvement in the US business environment.” He says employees should also share in the tax savings.
When Durbin Asked the IRS to Silence Karl Rove
Illinois Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin is full of righteous indignation these days regarding President Trump's comments in a private meeting. Following the meeting, Durbin ran outside to whine to the media. Trump wants immigrants who come to America wanting to be Americans who will make America and themselves successful. Durbin wants immigrants who come to America wanting to be Democrats dependent on government who will make the Democratic Party successful. He wants to bring in the huddled masses yearning to get free stuff, and the American citizen taxpayer be damned.
The fact is, Durbin is just another political hack who uses the instruments of government to accrue power, and he was not above trampling on the rights of American taxpayers when, during the rise of the Tea Party movement that seized control of Congress in 2010 and threatened President Obama's re-election in 2012, he sought the aid of the IRS to stop the Tea Party movement in general and Karl Rove's political action committee, American Crossroads, in particular. As Politico noted in 2013:
Karl Rove is stepping up his attacks on Sen. Dick Durbin.
Rove unloaded with both barrels on the Illinois Democrat, blasting him in an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News and in a column in The Wall Street Journal. Rove is charging that Durbin's sending a letter in 2010 to Internal Revenue Service officials, asking them to investigate American Crossroads, was nothing less than a bid to "silence conservatives."
"What was going on is obvious: Mr. Durbin wanted the IRS to silence conservatives," Rove wrote. "So did every other congressional Democrat who wrote similar letters to the IRS, from Senate Finance Committee chairman Max Baucus to New York [s]en. Chuck Schumer to Vermont [r]ep. Peter Welch. But in the glare of public attention, using the IRS to cripple or destroy opponents looks corrupt. Abuse of power always is."
Sen. Durbin was a leader of a group of Democratic officeholders engaging in suppression of political opposition to the Democratic Party, an abuse of government power similar to the silent coup attempt to dent President Trump's election and his presidency by using the FBI and the DOJ to use a fake dossier paid for by the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign to spy on Team Trump and then launch a special counsel investigation into mythical Russian collusion.
Sen. Durbin and his Democratic colleagues would like us to forget how they tried to collude with the IRS to subvert American democracy and use the IRS to change the outcome of an American election. Sen. Durbin would also like us to forget how he was aided by Lois Lerner, then with the Federal Election Commission, who targeted Durbin's 1996 Senate opponent, Al Salvi. As Investor's Business Daily editorialized:
Before his 2010 letter urging the IRS to target conservatives, the Senate majority whip's 1996 campaign benefited from the targeting of his opponent by a Federal Election Commission official with a familiar name.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the IRS scandal may have its roots in Illinois politics with the 1996 targeting of Illinois conservative Al Salvi by a familiar name, Lois Lerner, then head of the Enforcement Division of the Federal Election[] Commission.
That year, Democrat U.S. [r]ep. Dick Durbin and Republican [s]tate [r]ep. Al Salvi were locked in a battle for the U.S. Senate seat Durbin would eventually win.
As the journal Illinois Review details, Salvi was confronted with an "October surprise[]"[:] not one, but two[] FEC complaints filed against him – one by Illinois Democrats about the way he reported a loan he made to himself, and another by the Democratic Senatorial Committee about a reported business donation.
The late[-]inning complaints stalled Salvo's campaign against Durbin. "We couldn't get our message out because day after day, the media carried story after story about the FEC complaint," Salvi told Illinois Review.
This tactic of keeping political opponents busy was repeated by IRS Exempt Organizations Division chief Lerner on her targeting of Tea Party and other conservative groups in the 2012 presidential campaign.
A profile in courage, Durbin is not. A poster child for weaponizing government agencies to maintain political power, he is. As noted, Durbin would connect with Lois Lerner at the IRS once again to intimidate and threaten his political opponents and those of the Democratic Party:
Salvi would become a political trivia question as Durbin rose to power and prominence in the U.S. Senate. From that position, Durbin in October 2010 queried IRS [c]ommissioner Douglas Shulman about the tax exemption status of Crossroads GPS – a job that would find its way to now-IRS official Lois Lerner.
Why target Crossroads GPS? Aside from its effectiveness and connection to campaign guru Karl Rove, Crossroads GPS ran ads opposing the 2010 campaign of Illinois [s]tate [t]reasurer Alexi Giannoulias for the U.S. Senate seat held by Roland Burris. Burris was appointed to fill the vacancy left when Barack Obama was elected president by the now incarcerated Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who tried to auction off the seat.
Sen. Durbin is not exactly the Mr. Smith who went to Washington in the iconic movie starring Jimmy Stewart. He is not fighting for truth, justice, and the American Way. He is fighting for Dick Durbin and a Democratic Party kept in power by an endless influx of "undocumented" Democrats.
