It was a cold December night in Washington D.C. A chill filled the House, empty for the Christmas holiday. One lone soul was left - Adam Schiff had nowhere to go, as no one wanted him around, having alienated everyone, including the most deplorable of his fellow congressmen and women. And despite it being Christmas, Republicans were not ready to be forgiving, as the damage done was deep and lasting.
He thought at first to try and brighten his predicament by regaling himself with the poem, "T'was the Night Before Christmas". He began, "T'was the night before Christmas and all through this Democrat House, not a soul was left standing except for a louse. Congress in recess and gone is the fun, and I, a pariah, as impeachment is done."
"Wait", he cried, "That's not how it goes. I just made that up - a parody!"
As he walked down the near empty K Street, known for adult entertainment and lobbyists, looking for his friends, poor Adam found himself cold and alone. Almost.
From back in an alley muggers appeared. "Is that you, Ghislaine? Uncle Harvey? Nah, it must be my little buddy, Nadler. When WOP! That was the last thing he heard before unconsciousness set in.
And that is when he saw him - standing over Adam was none other than George Washington, himself. Yes, the man who could not tell a lie was towering over the man who could not tell the truth.
"I know this is D.C. and delusions are the norm", said Adam, "but this is stranger than finding an honest Democrat in this town. What manner of magic is this?"
"I am the ghost of Christmas, Schiffty," said George in
his booming, authoritative voice. "I am here to offer you one chance to
redeem yourself, and in doing so save the Constitution from being
tattered. BR-R-R -- I shudder at the thought that you will likely fail."
"E're
this night is over you will be visited by the ghost of Christmas past,
the spirit of Christmas present and the phantom of Christmas future."
boomed George. "And when you come out of your stupor in the morn, you
will either be repentant and vow to never lie again, and to treat the
Constitution with reverence and respect, or..."
Adam belligerently belted out, "Or what", Georgie boy?"
"Or you will spend the rest of your days living in a tent on a sidewalk in Los Angeles, and every day Nancy Pelosi will stop by and spit in your tin cup", George boomed.
At that, Adam just sneered and said, "Too bad I wasn't around 230 years ago - I woulda impeached YOUR ass, too!"

Democrats' "Destroy Trump" Agenda - Not What You Think
Every American Should Beware the "Long Game" of "Democrats"
Let's begin by making one important point - The Democrats and elitists in D.C, NY and CA are NOT Democrats. They are Progressives, which is a nice sounding name for socialists. That is what is meant when people say "This is not Dad's Democrat Party". For the sake of less confusion, in this article I will use a capital "D" for progressives, and a small "d" for actual democrats, to differentiate between the two species of the party on the left. Small "d" democrats are ordinary, honest Americans who, while they often differ with Republicans on policies, are not actively attempting to harm America; they are not purposely trying to divide the country. Big "D" Democrats are just the opposite - all they want is absolute power.
That said, make no mistake - progressives (big "D" Democrats) have a "long game" that is contrary to what democrats, independents, libertarians and republicans would ever want to see coming to fruition. Progressives have just one aim - to gain, and keep permanent control and power of the government of the United States of America. To those paying attention, they have said as much, and they show it clearly when they intentionally demonize everyone who disagrees with them - republicans, "smelly WalMart shoppers" (Peter Strzok), "gun-toting Bible Thumpers" (Obama), "the great unwashed" (Hillary). And they show their colors by utilizing identity politics designed to divide and conquer. Gun control, open borders, legalizing drugs - all these and more are merely steps, all connected, to get to the permanent control and tyranny they intend to exert over America.
As a side note, that is precisely why they must destroy Donald Trump - he and his supporters are the only ones standing in their way. His populism is a mandate to drain the swamp. And the swamp is were the progressives live and thrive. He has interrupted their plan and schedule - from progressive Obama for 8 years, then to progressive Hillary for the next 8. In sixteen years they could have taken America past the "point of no return". If Trump is not destroyed, it's all over for the progressives - at least for a couple of generations. Think about it - Trump has already put 10 Constitutionalist judges on the 9th circuit. He is quickly working toward making all our courts legitimate supporters of the Constitution. And does anyone believe Ginsberg is going to still be on the Supreme court in 4 more years? One more Constitutionalist Justice on SCOTUS and progressives will be marginalized for generations. They MUST destroy Trump, which is why we are going through all this Trump Derangement.
At this point one should understand the "Overton Window" theory. If you want to get 50 miles down the road, you will fail if you attempt it in one step. So, you make your goal - the window - just a step away. Then you move the window to another step away. Put another way, if someone wants to eat a cow, they don't sit in front of one with a knife, fork and A1 Sauce. No - they put one burger or steak on their plate, and once that is gone and digested, they eat another - until they have eaten the cow.
And that is how Progressives work, plan and will eventually win if not stopped. Here are some of the steps they are taking, and how they are connected to the "long game".
(There were two steps that have already been completed - take-over of the educational institutions and the media. None of the remaining steps can be implemented and finalized without brainwashing young people who do not know any better, and controlling the press to insure they STOP speaking truth to power.) Now, here are a few of the remaining steps:
Step One: Progressives started by moving the goal post on drugs. They undertsand that addicted people are easier to control and would put the Devil in power if it gets them their "drug of choice". For some, that may be weed, or cocaine, or even welfare - whatever the addiction. Progressives would like every American to be addicted to something over which the government has control. And most addicted people will vote for the people who give them what they want. So, little steps like allowing marijuana for medicinal purposes, and once the pulic accepts that as the norm, move the window to allow recreational use. Once that is accepted as normal, go to full legalization (as I type, Democrats are planning a bill to SUBSIDIZE weed with taxpayer funds)
Step Two: Move the goal post on immigration. First, it's DACA or some other form of amnesty for those already here. That moves toward opening the borders. The objective is to get as many uneducated immigrants here as possible, knowing that they will then make it legal for illegals to get drivers' licenses, then given the right to vote in local elections, and eventually the right to national elections. And most of those illegal immigrants would vote for the people who gave them what they wanted.
Step three: Divide and conquer using identity politics. They are dividing us by race, gender, religion, political party - any way they can. Get us fighting and hating one another. They remember what Ben Franklin said, that it is easy to break indivual sticks, but impossible to break a big bundle of them. "We must hang togeher, or we will certainly hang separately." It is easier for progressives to take over if we are too busy fighting each other to worry about what the progressives are doing. Once each group is divided, and therefore weakened, they can take control of that group. They already control Antifa, Black Lives Matter, the black community etc. and other dissident groups.
Step Four: Keep moving the goal post on gun control. First, push for "universal" background checks, which prevents dear old Dad from leaving his hunting rifle to his son. Then it's "red flag" laws that allow government to at least temporarily confiscate guns without due process. Then it's a ban on certain styles, though there is no rhyme or reason to it. Then, limit the size of the clip, and limit sales of ammo. Charge huges fees for anything connected to guns. Get banks to refuse accounts for those who manufature or sell arms. Whatever it takes to make it nearly impossible to exercise our "right" to bear arms. Eventually, it goes to registration, as Virginia now wants to do. And finally, confiscation.
And now for their reason - their "long game" is to gain and keep permanent control over a people who, for nearly 300 years, have been free. And progressives know there is no way on God's green Earth they can achieve their goals while we, the people, are well armed.
Bring in immigrants and pull them in as a voting bloc by giving them what they want. Get people addicted to drugs, welfare or whatever and control access to those things, making those people a voting bloc. Need proof? They have already done that with the black community by getting them hooked on welfare, and pandering to them every four years (though more and more are catching on, which makes progressives call them "Uncle Toms". Isn't it telling that they claim to support blacks, women, gays - but ONLY those who agree with them.)
Is it becoming a bit clearer? Certainly, progressives will move Heaven and Earth to hide their true agenda, and will demonize anyone who tries to stop them. They will call this a "right wing conspiracy theory" which is usually their way of describing what actually is a very real left wing conspiracy.

Just in the First 10 Pages of the IG Report...
I have heard so many different takes on what the Inspector General's Report says that I decided to actually read it myself. And in just the first 10 pages I discovered these statements. [ ] indicate editor's input:
/
- "We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced the decisions to open the four individual investigations." ["did not find" does not mean none existed - only that, due to the constraints and limitations of an IG Investigation, they could not delve deeper]
- "We found it concerning that Department and FBI policy did not require the FBI to consult with any Department official in advance of conducting CHS operations [i.e. covert electronic spying and/or confidential informant] involving advisors to a major party candidate's presidential campaign, and we found no evidence that the FBI consulted with any Department officials before conducting these CHS operations. As we describe in Chapter Two, consultation , at a minimum, is required by Department and FBI policies in numerous other sensitive circumstances, and we include a recommendation to address this issue"
- "However, as we explain later, the Crossfire Hurricane team failed to inform Department officials of significant information that was available to the team [from Carter Page] at the time that the FISA applications were drafted and filed. Much of that information was inconsistent with, or undercut, the assertions contained in the FISA applications that were used to support probable cause and, in some instances, resulted in inaccurate information being included in the applications. " [i.e. the FBI intentionally misled the FISA court]
- However, as we describe later, as the FBI obtained additional information raising significant questions about the reliability of the Steele election reporting, the FBI failed to reassess the Steele reporting relied upon in the FISA applications, and did not fully advise NSD or 01 officials. We also found that the FBI did not aggressively seek to obtain certain potentially important information from Steele. For example, the FBI did not press Steele for information about the actual funding source [the DNC & Hillary Clinton Campaign] for his election reporting work.
- None of these [7] inaccuracies and omissions were brought to the attention of OI before the last FISA application was filed in June 2017. Consequently, these failures were repeated in all three renewal applications. Further, as we discuss later, we identified 10 additional significant errors in the renewal applications.

Hey, Liberals - Before You Bash "Rural America"...
It has become the new pasttime among liberals and progressives, most notably in our media, universities and among celebrities to bash and trash the "common people" of rural America. In their sheer arrogance and ignorance they equate the common people as being illiterate country rednecks. Nothing could be further from the truth. So, before they go bashing the people from the fly-over states, they should stop for just a moment to remember...
It was rural farmers who won the Revolutionary War and gave us this great Republic - the only nation ever formed on the principles of freedom for all people. In fact, in every revolution it is the commoners that overturn tyranny.
It was commoners - rural farmers and fishermen - that Jesus chose as his Disciples.
It is rural farmers who feed us - without them, we would all starve.
Thomas Edison was born in middle America, as was Henry Ford. Eli Whitney was the son of a farmer.
Most of the REAL movie stars that created Hollywood, like Jimmy Stewart (rural Indiana) and John Wayne (rural Iowa) just to name a couple were born and raised as common people, as were many of our Founding Fathers.
The point is this - many, if not most of the more famous and intelligent people of accomplishment were not born and raised in liberal metropolitan centers. They started out as commoners and rural folks. The problem does not begin until they move to liberal centers because of the opportunities that are found there, and soon become jaded by all the glitter, glitz and neon lights.
And for the record, where you live and what you choose as your life's work is not any indicator of intellect. I, myself was raised in a very tiny farm community in New Hampshire, and it was my class of 30 students that produced nine of the highest I.Q.'s that were high enough to become members of Mensa - so-called genius class. Farmers and commoners.
So, before anyone is so self-absorbed and arrogant as to believe the "common people" should be discounted and not given any credit for their share of intellect and accomplishment, I suggest they do their homework.
Wake up, America - the liberal media and universities, and most over-paid and egotistical celebrities so who are so full of themselves (though they have the least reason to be) are attacking the very heart and core of our nation. It is time to stand up and put them in their place.

Hey, Schiff - Whistleblower WILL testify...
Representative Adam "Shifty" Schiff said the "whistleblower" will never testify. He is apparently not only arrogant, but dumb as a rock. But it does beg the obvious question - what is Schiff afraid of? What is he trying so hard to hide? (We know, don't we?)
If the House does impeach Trump, it goes to the Senate. Schiff has less than zero influence in the Republican Senate. If they decide to try Trump just so they can prove him innocent of any crime, while proving the Democrats conducted a witch hunt for purely political purposes, you can bet the farm they WILL subpoena not only the whistleblower, but anyone connected to him, including Schiff!
Schiff is not just dumb, but plain stupid - in the Senate, if they take up the case, the following will be grilled under oath - Brennan, Clapper, McCabe, Stzrok, Page, and many others in the Deep State. By the time the Senate is done, coupled with the upcoming IG report and Durham criminal investigation, the entire Democrat illegal coup attempt will be laid bare, and Schiff will be lucky if he does not end up behind bars himself.

Rep Adam Schiff - Morally Bankrupt, or Just an Idiot?
Rep. Adam Schiff, leading the "intelligence committee" (which is proving to be unintelligent under his leadership) just made the comment that Trump must be guilty, because what other reason would he have for trying to "hide" an unclassified transcript onto a classified server. And he said that with a straight face, all the while holding SECRET, UNCLASSIFIED hearings in a scif, a conclave reserved for CLASSIFIED meetings. So, what is SCHIFF guilty of? What is HE trying to hide?
As for why Trump would put the phone transcripts on a classified server - in his first year in office, Democrat rats leaked parts (taken out of context) of two of his calls with world leaders. After that, it became standard operating procedure to put transcripts onto the classified server, as well they should be.
If Democrat operatives could be trusted to be honest, there would have been no need to "hide" any transcripts.

Washington Post - Disingenuous to a Fault
The headline today. "Fox News isn’t talking about key impeachment witnesses nearly as much as the other networks". Now that is either the most ignorant statement or the most intentionally disingenuous.
There is a reason Fox is not taking about them as much - the "witness" testimonies are made in secret and there is nothing valid to say, since the public does not know what is being said in these secret meetings of the Democrats. It simply is not possible to REPORT on the witness testimony. So, why do the other networks spend all their time talking about them? Because they are TALKING about them, and not REPORTING anything.
Liberal media like CNN, NBC, ABS, MSNBC, Washington Post and New York Times etc. are all deeply involved in tying to turn the public against the administration, in an attempt to interfere with the 2020 election. They posit, they pundit, they spread unfounded rumors and they spread leaks from the Democrats who only leak tidbits taken out of context that smear the President.
Fox News is more honest than that. When there is NEWS to REPORT, they do so. But to date, the only news there is to report about those witnesses is how the Democrats are using them to twist the narrative by cherry-picked leaks, and how the mainstream media is helping them to do it.
Fox reports real news. Have any of the mainstream media reported on real news, like local school districts tossing out academics in favor of "equity of outcomes?" Fairfax County, VA, Seattle and NYC among others are actually doing things like replacing the Chief of Academics with a Chief of Equity. Why is this important news to know? Because it is designed to "dumb down" our students. In order for there to be an equal outcome in education, then education must be fashioned around the dumbest students -the lowest denominator - because while it is possible to make smart kids less educated, it is impossible to make lower I.Q. kids more smarter.
But the mainstream media are not reporting news that the people need to know because they spend all their time TALKING about the witnesses in the impeachment inquiry when there is nothing valid to report. They simply do not want the public to know what is really going on around them, because it is just so much easier to dupe and control ignorant people than it is to con well-informed people. And that is what the mainstream media and Democrats are all about - keeping their power by keeping the electorate dumb about the facts of what is going on around them.
So, yeah, Fox News isn't spending anywhere near as much time talking about those so-called witnesses (most of whom were not even in the room and aren't witness to much of anything) because Fox reports actual news, while the other media just spread rumors and and conspiracy theories with all their "what if" remarks. "What if it's true...", What if Trump said this...?"
Here's a "what if" for you - what if the mainstream media were honest and unbiased?
There is not any news outlet with a following as large as Fox. And no you know why...

What If Hillary Clinton DOES Jump in...?
It's making the rounds throughout the media - rumblings that Hillary Clinton may yet jump into the 2020 presidential race. She may be taking a page from hubby, who did not announce his run until the last minute, ensuring she will not have to face many candidates prepared to meet her head on in a debate.
So, what if the rumblings are true? What if Madame Hillary gets in the race?
I will make two predictions:
1) She will lose by a HUGE margin. For every Democrat who loves her, almost as many dislike her, and what she has done to the party. In addition, she will not be anywhere progressive enough to get the far-left base behind her, and many will choose instead to sit this one out.
2) Tulsi Gabbard, the candidate that Hillary was dumb enough to villify publicly, would change her mind about running as a third party candidate and go head-to-head with Hillary. While Tulsi has little chance of beating Hillary, she would most definitely take substantial votes away from her. And that would likely be Tulsi's intention - to bring Hillary down. "Hell hath no fury like that of a woman scorned."
If Hillary is smart (she really isn't) she would bite her tongue and just walk away into the proverbial sunset. She has been a First Lady, a Senator and a Secretary of State. That should be enough for anyone. What she does NOT need for a legacy is to be the woman who lost her bid for president three times - twice against Trump.
Quit while you are ahead, Mrs. Clinton.

1) She will lose by a HUGE margin. For every Democrat who loves her, almost as many dislike her, and what she has done to the party. In addition, she will not be anywhere progressive enough to get the far-left base behind her, and many will choose instead to sit this one out.
2) Tulsi Gabbard, the candidate that Hillary was dumb enough to villify publicly, would change her mind about running as a third party candidate and go head-to-head with Hillary. While Tulsi has little chance of beating Hillary, she would most definitely take substantial votes away from her. And that would likely be Tulsi's intention - to bring Hillary down. "Hell hath no fury like that of a woman scorned."
If Hillary is smart (she really isn't) she would bite her tongue and just walk away into the proverbial sunset. She has been a First Lady, a Senator and a Secretary of State. That should be enough for anyone. What she does NOT need for a legacy is to be the woman who lost her bid for president three times - twice against Trump.
Quit while you are ahead, Mrs. Clinton.

Was Trump Right to Not Tell Democrats About the Raid
Nancy Pelosi - and Democrats in general - are in another "outrage" because President Trump did not advise them of the pending raid to deliver up al-Baghdadi. But if I were Trump, I would not have brought them into it, either.
We have seen, over and over, that the Democrats will do literally anything to prevent Trump from having any successes or triumphs. They are forever suing him and the administration to prevent any success on immigration or the border. Pelosi refuses to bring up for a vote the fair trade deals that both sides want, to insure Trump does not get the credit. The Dems storm out of critical meetings for the dumbest of reasons (like hurt feelings). And the Democrats leak like a sieve if they can damage Trump. We see it every day.
So it is no stretch to assume that, had Trump advised them of the pending raid, it would almost certainly have leaked out, al-Baghdadi would have fled, and Trump would have no victory.
That is not a "conspiracy theory". We can see with our own eyes (if we OPEN our eyes) that the Democrats are already doing whatever it takes to damage the President. They even break laws and jeopardize national security. In fact, that is precisely why Durham was able to turn his investigation into a criminal investigation and is preparing to indict some big-wigs on the left.
Nope! I would not tell any D.C. Democrat anything!

Hillary in 2020? Don't Discount It
On March 26, 2019 I posted the following blog:
https://bill-is-watching.blogspot.com/2019/03/if-she-runs-why-hillary-could-easily.html
In that blog I stated, "Anyone who discounts the real possibility of a second Trump-Hillary match-up would be making a mistake." And I was nearly laughed out of the blogosphere. But suddenly, all the late-to-the-party pundits are now trying to reincarnate her campaign as they fear a landslide for Trump with the current field of Democrat contenders.
But can she win?
Well, she can raise the money. And she is still a powerful force, at least in the media. And she could reconstitute her campaign staff in a heartbeat. Most important, she likely learned something about how and why she lost last time and will not repeat those mistakes. So, yes, it is possible.
But is it likely she would win?
No. Too much baggage. She made too many mistakes out of arrogance. She has alienated half the country. The states she ignored last time may not be very forgiving. And the current field, along with the "squad" and a complicit media have taken the Democrat party far to the left, and it is unlikely Hillary can convince them she is their ticket. Those voters will likely stay home.
But most important, she is no match for Donald Trump. She cannot simply erase all the great things he has done - lowest unemployment rate in history; best economy in many decades; getting better trade deals; taking on China; prison reform - the list goes on.
Hillary, if you are listening, go spend time with your grandkids, or take a long walk in the woods...

Why Pelosi & Schiff will NOT Impeach Trump
To hear the network news, cable news, the print media and all the other pundits, the Democrats are preparing to impeach President Trump. But if a reasoning, thinking person were to study what is going on, and connect the dots, they would likely come to the conclusion that, with very few radical exceptions like "The Squad", there is no way on God's green Earth that the Democrats intend to impeach Trump.
First and foremost, they know how to read, and therefore know there is no cause for impeachment in Trump's call with Zelensky. That call is nothing more than an excuse for the Democrats to hold secret hearings and to issue 2200 subpoenas, all for the sole purpose of using taxpayer money to do their opposition research for 2020 (which is illegal), and if some witness does utter a phrase they can take out of context to shave independent voters away from Trump, that is a bonus. And that is precisely why the hearings are secret and Republicans are excluded.
Second, the so-called "whistleblower". We now know that the whistleblower contacted the Schiff team before filing any complaint at all. This suggests that Schiff and/or his staff may have helped craft the phony complaint - we know it is phony because it does not even come close to accurately depicting the phone call.
Then Schiff states publicly that they will call the whistleblower in to testify - to what, no one knows, since Trump already released the full transcript that blew the whistleblower's complaint to Kingdom Come. But now, suddenly, Schiff says they won't be calling for the whistleblower's testimony after all "because it is not needed". That simply does not fit, unless...
It fits perfectly if Schiff realizes that the whistleblower's testimony could/would incriminate Schiff as having helped craft the phony complaint, like he crafted the phony "parody" at the original hearing, or that the testimony would further threaten the deep state, already on the verge of imploding. In fact, it just might come out that the entire whistleblower scandal was the brainchild of Schiff, because he believed there was zero chance Trump would release the transcript. Why else would Schiff suddenly declare they do not need the testimony of their star witness - the one person who STARTED all this?
Finally, and a very real reason to avoid impeachment, the Democrats know that if they do impeach, it MUST then go to the Senate for trial - a Republican controlled Senate that would never convict when there is no evidence of any crime - and they would certainly subpoena the whistleblower, as well as all the "secret" testimony transcripts the Democrats are hiding. And that could put several prominent Democrats and deep state bureaucrats in prison for treason if it comes out that they created a phony whistleblower for the express purpose of pulling off a coup against a duly elected President.
Of course, Democrats would call this a "right-wing conspiracy theory". But nothing they are claiming in their "inquiry" fits the facts, and this theory connects all the dots perfectly.
Sometimes, there really IS a conspiracy...

The Destruction of Democracy in America
The only way to destroy our democracy is to severely damage the institutions of democracy. Who has been systematically doing that? Who is responsible for destroying the credibility of the FBI by abusing their power to take down a duly elected president? Who usurped the confirmation process by resisting at any cost any nominee that a president appoints, even to the point of setting up phony charges (as in Kavanaugh) and denying him the Constitutional Right of due process? And who is it that is upending the impeachment process by not following the rules, and denying due process to the President and his administration, holding secret meetings and hearings in private, without any Republicans even allowed to sit in?
Just exactly which institutions has Trump damaged? Only the biased media intent on ousting him from office, no matter what lies they have to propagate. And a corrupt media is damaging to our democracy, and have been corrupted by democrats (or vice versa?) seeking power.
When democrats and their henchmen in the media tell us that it is Trump who is destroying the democracy, they are projecting themselves. They destroy, then tell the public, "Look at the damage Trump is doing!"
Trump's actions are not destroying our institutions - he is trying to REPAIR them, to force them to once again serve the people, rather than themselves. In their quest for unlimited power, the left is willing to completely destroy anything and anyone. Trump does not need power - he already has it. And the left wants to take it from him.
The left does not want a fair and balanced media. The left wants to be able to use the unfettered power of government - the FBI, CIA, IRS - to push their agenda at all costs, even if it harms the citizenry, or even destroys our democracy. They want only radicals to be appointed to positions of power - no Kavanaughs, no one who will keep the left from achieving their goals, even if it means violating the Constitution.
The Constitution provides for due process, the right to bear arms, religious freedom without government intervention, free speech and due process. It is only the left that is systematically diluting those rights, with the intent of eventually removing them altogether. And the reason is simple - those are precisely the rights and values that prevent the left from taking over and imposing their will over the citizens of this nation. It's all about control - complete control.
If their government runs health care - making your life and death decisions for you - they control you. If they get you addicted to welfare, or drugs, or anything at all, they control you through your addiction. If they remove Christianity from the public sphere, and destroy the effectiveness of law enforcement (which the left is now doing) they open the door to unparalleled sin - Sodom and Gomorrah - which only serves to add to their power. After all, if you are allowed to do whatever you want without consequence, you will keep those in power who have made that possible. And if any sane, moral and patriotic citizens object? No matter - the left will have taken their guns, so they cannot fight back.

Is CA Intentionally Driving Out the Middle Class?
California has long been known as the land of sun and fun. But while the sun still shines, the fun is quickly fading for the millions of middle class citizens who are over-burdened with taxes, regulations and their elected officials tearing down law enforcement. And now the middle class is leaving California in droves, driven out by the elitist progressives who hold the state in a tight stranglehold.
The question is - why? Why are officials Hell-bent on pushing an agenda that drives out the middle class?
The answer - the middle class is a stumbling block in the way of those who want to make California a "purist" enclave for elitist far-left radicals intent on pushing all of America farther and farther to the left. Celebrities, politicians, tech companies and the wealthy. They want a socialist state in which they are in total control.
But why, then, does California embrace the poor, the homeless and the illegal immigrants? Simply put, by providing the freebies and sanctuary for those who have NO power they insure their own power. Those receiving the entitlements will never bite the hand that feeds them, ensuring that the powerful remain so. They cannot destroy democracy, so they simply make it irrelevant.
The next question - where will the tax revenues come from once the middle class is gone? The answer - the wealthy elitists believe they can afford to pick up the slack, and are willing to do so if it puts them in total control.
The middle class, however, does vote, and could eventually rally and cause an uprising against the elitists, threatening their progressive agenda. So, the middle class must be driven out. And once they are gone, or have been marginalized to the point of insignificance, those elitists will be the all-powerful wizards of Oz, unfettered by any opposition.
If you doubt any of this, just remember what governor Cuomo of New York said in his 2014 message for conservative Republicans — "you don’t belong in New York. " The vast majority of the middle class in New York are Republican - the "silent majority".

Impeachment Inquiry - Why Pelosi Hasn't Called For a Vote
What theater! Nancy Pelosi keeps telling us we are having a "formal inquiry" into impeachment, but that is a lie. A formal inquiry requires that the House vote on it, and that is the last thing Pelosi wants, and here's why...
As soon as there is a vote on impeachment, the Republicans then get to subpoena witnesses and have them testify. They can finally present THEIR case - the side that Democrats do not want coming to light. The Democrats will stop at nothing - NOTHING - to push their dishonest agenda.
What Pelosi is doing is not just wrong - it is dishonest and undemocratic - and that makes it un-American, and not patriotic as she tries to claim.

Democrats in Massive Cover-up Mode
Despite Democrats trying to claim that the impeachment push and their many "investigations" are not political and are for the purpose of protecting America from corruption, the opposite is actually true. All of the efforts of the Democrats in D.C., and most of the media is designed for one purpose only - to cover up their corrupting of our democracy.
Unelected Obama-era CIA, DOJ and the State Department personnel have created a vicious and powerful "Deep State" that is, in and of itself, a silent coup. The evidence has been substantiated by investigative reporters like John Solomon and Sara Carter. But most Americans will never know, because the mainstream media like the New York Times, CNN, Google, Yahoo and Twitter are also run by the radical left, and they refuse to tell the truth - and as we have seen over and over, they often resort to fake news - outright lies.
They have been manipulating America for years, using their vast power and resources to run things by keeping citizens uninformed and by using propaganda to convince the people that all is well - just "sit back, shut up and do what you are told."
But with Trump in the Oval Office and Barr as AG, and with the Durham report coming out soon, the Democrats, the media and the deep state are scared to death - it could all unravel. America might actually get a look behind the curtain, to see a little, hateful, power-mad wizard pulling all the strings. They cannot allow that to happen - decades of building their authoritarian society, since the liberal revolution of the '60's is about to be rendered into mash, if Trump and Republicans have their way.
Decades of taking over the media and our educational system was on the verge of giving the radical left complete control of the country, now in jeopardy as Trump attempts to drain the swamp.
The impeachment and untold investigations are a smokescreen, to cover up what they have been doing.
If anyone doubts this, just look at the insane positions they are suddenly taking, designed to destroy, not build. Support of terrorists like Antifa. Refusing to support (and even hand-cuffing) law enforcement. Support of violent protests. Pushing late term and even after birth abortions. Fighting for open borders and taxpayer funding for health care and education for illegal aliens. Sanctuary cities that allow non-citizen criminals to terrorize the population, unchecked. Banning everything, and ignoring Constitutional rights of free speech, religion, association, and even due process. Even their refusal to look into the REAL scandals, like the Biden-Ukraine debacle or the Hillary Clinton crimes of destroying emails for which there was a subpoena. Or the apparent "pay-for-play" scam known as the Clinton Foundation.
The Democrats in D.C., with the help of their handlers in the media and the useful idiots in our educational institutions have been openly destroying the very fabric of our Republic, all while telling the people that such changes are "social justice".
But now they are scared of being outed for the corrupt anti-democracy bunch that they are. In desperation they are turning up the heat, trying to create a smokescreen and to derail efforts to drain that swamp.
Republicans, led by Trump, are draining the swamp. And the swamp creatures are fighting back.

Shep Smith - Pusher of Half-Truths
Fox News should consider taking Sheppard Smith to the woodshed for his incessant reporting of half-truths designed to make President Trump and Republicans look bad. I refer, in particular, to his most recent offense today, where he stated that Trump "withheld funds from the Ukraine just one week before" his call to Zelinsky.
While that is true, it is only half the truth. It seems Smith "forgot" to add that at the time of the infamous call, the Ukrainians were not even aware that there was a temporary hold on the funds, and that Trump never mentioned the funds in his call. Since Zelinsky was unaware of any withholding of funds, and Trump never mentioned it, there could not possibly be any interpretation of the call that makes it appear to be "extortion" or "quid pro-quo".
What Smith has done - and does regularly, just like Rachel Maddow and "Morning Joe" - is no different than saying, "John Doe took his elderly mother's money" without telling us that he took it to buy her the groceries she wanted hm to get. A half-truth is nothing less than a lie.
Again, I think it is time Sheppard Smith gets taken to the proverbial woodshed. It's okay to be a liberal. It's not okay to intentionally deceive people.
My opinion. Just sayin'...

House Democrts - Patriots? Or Traitors?
Nancy Pelosi makes a point of calling herself and House Democrats patriotic because they are pushing for impeachment, to hold the President "accountable". And I could buy that - IF there was something that Trump did wrong to be held accountable for.
Here is the point: the House Democrats pushing impeachment are not trying to impeach based on the actual content of Trumps call to Zelensky. No, they are trying to impeach based on a made up interpretation of the call, highlighted at a recent hearing by Schiff's "parody"! They interpret the call as a strong-arm attempt to "get dirt on Biden", but nowhere in the actual transcript is any of that evident. All Trump did was ask the Ukrainians to look into a possible scandal that, if true, would affect our national security and future elections. In other words, Trump simply asked them to find out if there was any "there there". Not illegal. Not unethical. But it is his job.
But what the Democrats are doing IS unethical. Pushing impeachment based on an interpretation of hearsay, and not on the actual facts is not only undemocratic but un-American as well. In doing so, they are giving aid and comfort to our enemies by doing their dirty work for them.
And "giving aid and comfort to the enemy" is the legal definition of treason. In my opinion that makes Pelosi, Schiff, AOC and the rest of the impeachment pushers nothing less than traitors.
As for Schiff - he should be kicked out of office for outright lying repeatedly to the American People. There is something inherently wrong when it is a felony for a citizen to lie to Congress, but there is no consequence when Congress lies to the citizens. Under the Constitution we are all supposed to be held to the same laws, equally. If that were true in reality, Schiff would be doing hard time in a federal prison, which is how it should be!
If he ever gets re-elected, then we should convene a committee to investigate what is in the water in his district, because they are nuts.

The Problem With Draining "The Swamp"
President Trump campaigned on draining the D.C. swamp. And while he is working on it, and has made some small headway, he is finding it incredibly difficult. And it's no wonder, when you consider the consequences of draining any swamp.
When you begin draining a swamp you aggravate all kinds of swamp creatures - the alligators that feed from it (the media), the swamp rats that the alligators feed on (politicians) and all those pesky, disease carrying mosquitoes that breed there (liberal celebrities and Twitter trolls). And you cannot expect draining the swamp to be a piece of cake when you rile so many critters.
Trump has definitely riled the media. They require sensationalism and controversy in order to compete for readers and viewers. Draining the swamp deflates the very things the media feeds on - they would have to revert back to actually doing their jobs and do some real investigative reporting instead of spreading the propaganda found on the internet (yet another swamp).
The swamp rats are ticked off because the draining of the swamp takes away their "safe space" - without the muddy, murky water they become more visible and can be seen for what they actually do or do not do. Since politicians win office by how voters see what they do, and not just what the politician says or promises, the swamp rats do not like that kind of transparency.
As for those pesky insects that are constantly trying to draw blood from anyone who dares enter their sanctuary, they breed and proliferate in those murky waters. If the swamp is drained, they have nowhere to turn.
And that is precisely the reasons why the swamp must be drained!

Hillary's Latest (Libelous) Lie
We have become so accustomed to Hillary Clinton lying her butt off that it no longer surprises us. But this latest one - which is a proven lie - is so extreme, and so libelous as to garner attention.
In her latest rant, Clinton states that Trump is "running a cheap extortion racket". This, she claims is proven by his placing a hold on money slated for the Ukraine unless the Ukranian president investigates the Biden scandal.
However, none of the facts are on her side, and actually debunk her lie right from the outset.
While it is true that Trump placed a temporary hold on the money, the two critical components of extortion OR quid pro-quo are absent - at the time Trump made the call to the Ukrainian president, the Ukraine had not even discovered the funds had been placed on hold, and Trump never mentioned it in his call. It is impossible to commit extortion - or even quid pro-quo if the "victim" knows nothing about it.
The Ukraine has always had a very corrupt government as everyone recognizes. The new president of the Ukraine, recently elected, promised reform. I suspect Trump delayed payment until he felt comfortable that it was not going to a still corrupt government, and his call with the Ukranian president was likely designed to instill confidence that the money would not be used for evil.
I do believe that is what a good President does - he looks out for America, and fights corruption.

Proof that the 'Deep State' is Alive and Well?
I am unsure why so many others are not seeing this - connecting the dots. The following is just my opinion, based on the facts that do exist.
We already have proof that many of the higher-ups in the FBI and CIA were (are) viral anti-Trumpers intent on bringing down the President. McCabe, Comey, Strzok, Clapper, Brennan, Page etc. With that backdrop, let's start connecting those dots...
Shortly after Trump's election, "someone" high up and privy to Presidential calls to world leaders (and therefore most likely someone in the intelligence community) leaked the contents of those calls in an effort to undermine President Trump. To prevent this from happening again, the administration began putting the transcripts of future calls onto a secure, codeword protected server.
Now the Deep State had to find another way to get those calls out, even though it undermines national security (yep - if those calls are made public, no world leaders will talk candidly, for fear of it ending up in the New York Times).
There was only one way to now get those calls out into the public sphere - use a "whistleblower", which would cause one of two scenarios - virtually force the contents of the call to be public, or force the administration to exert Executive Privilege and keep them under wraps, making it appear that they were hiding something. In ether of those instances, the Deep State wins.
But the Deep State had a problem - under the whistleblower rules which were written by the intelligence community, one requirement was that it be a "first-hand account", because hearsay is inadmissible in any court. So, suddenly,quietly and without fanfare, they altered the rule, taking out that requirement. Now, even a second-hand rumor could fall under whisteblower protections.
The next step was to hire a team of attorneys to put together a very formal complaint, complete with footnotes, no less. The only thing that was not in the complaint were the actual details of the call, itself - they would fill in those blanks once they had a call that might give them ammunition to use against Trump.
Now, one of the agents they have in the Situation Room (or a White House traitor) that hears and monitors the calls can safely "leak" them by passing it on to their designated whisteblower instead of to the press. And since the identity of a whisteblower is protected, it would be nearly impossible to determine from whom he or she received that information. Really neat!
As a side note, this scenario also allows Democrats to claim "cover-up" because the transcriptions were stored on a secure server, even though it was stored there for a valid reason that had been put in place over a year before BECAUSE of those very leaks! But the truth does not matter to the left - they will do anything and perpetuate any lie (collusion?) in order to take back power. After all, wasn't it Adam Schiff who stated on camera, several times, that he had absolute positive proof that Trump was a "Russian asset"?
WHAT TO WATCH FOR NOW - since the Deep State will obviously stop at nothing to protect themselves and destroy Trump, it is not a stretch to believe that they just might apply threats and pressure against 2020 electors of the Electoral College, intimidating them to cast their vote for anyone but Trump.
It is interesting to note that the Democrats are issuing and endless number of subpoenas - for example, (3) Democrat committees are issuing them to SoS Pompeo. The obvious objective is to tie up so much of the the administrations time defending, and appearing at these bogus hearings. They figure if they can tie up everyone in the Trump circle long enough and often enough, the administration would be ham-strung and unable to be effective. They will say or do literally anything to stop Trump from being successful. In other words, they want America to stop winning!
Chuck Schumer said it himself - if Trump goes after the intelligence community, they have "six ways from Sunday" of getting even.
It appears the entire upper eschelon of the intelligence community that pre-dates Trump is corrupt and determined to effect a coup-d'etat, a political overthrow of the duly elected president. And that should scare the Hell out of EVERY American, Republican, Democrat or other.

Greta Thunberg Should Do Some Research!
16 year old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg tore into world leaders at the U.N. making ignorant, untrue atatements like, "People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are at the beginning of a mass extinction..."
None of the above are actual facts.
It is a true shame that the liberal media and teachers and professors have so completely brainwashed our youth into believing climate change is that kind of "existential threat". And worse that political leaders are pressured into buying into the hype in order to hold onto power.
It is even more concerning that Thunberg and her fellow activists never even bother to find out the true facts about climate - they just swallow the "climate change" line hook, line and sinker, without questioning it.
If they were to do some actual research they would find these facts, as based on empirical evidence and absolute proof:
Over the 4 billion year life of this planet, over 85% of that time it has been appreciably hotter than now. Science has proven that beyond any doubt. In fact, we are currently in a cool period where the planet is getting back to normal after the "Little Ice Age" (1250-1850 A.D.). Whereas the Earth is normally warmer, and it is the natural state, there is nothing mere mortals can do to change it.
Greenland got its name because, until the Little Ice Age (LIA) it was green, and the inhabitants were agrarian - peaceful farmers. When LIA came, the inhabitants had to leave and become seafaring raiders of places like Scotland and England. They became known as the Vikings.
In EVERY instance that the Earth experienced a warm period (always following an ice age) Mankind prospered, thrived and multiplied. And in every period of cooling, Mankind suffered, often to the point of near extinction.
Being in a period of increasing warmth is a good thing - there will be more arable land for food production. Glacial ice provides more fresh water. Warmth requires less fuel for heating homes. And we know that statistically, people in the nothern climes tend to be less friendly, less happy and more war-like. Compare the lifestyle of an Eskimo to that of a Pacific Islander!
Certainly, it is possible that sea levels will rise, but in the 30 years activists have been screaming that "the sky is falling", we have yet to see much of that at all. But even if it does rise, that will only displace the rich elitists living in oceanside estates. The benefits of warming, which the professors and liberal media are not bothering to mention, far outweigh the negatives.
Which raises this question: if Gore, Obama and others crying that the oceans will rise and drown us, why have all of them recently purchased multi-million dollar homes on the ocean? Because they do not BELIEVE the hype. They, unlike the activists, are better informed. And they are using the fear-mongering to hold onto power and wealth.
One more important point - there is nothing in nature that remains static. Everything changes, usually in cycles. So if we are not getting warmer, we will certainly get colder. And no sane person wants that!

Hey, "Beto" O'Moron - Come Take MY Guns (if you can)
Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke says "Hell, yes, we're going to take your guns." I've got news - and a history lesson - for him.
This country began not with just a "tea party", but because the British attempted to confiscate our guns in 1769, which is THE SINGULAR reason for the 2nd Amendment. That amendment has nothing to do with hunting - it's about being able to fight for and keep our Republic - even from our own government, if necessary. Hey, Beto - did you notice what happened to the British?
During hurricane Katrina, authorities attempted to confiscate guns from citizens. The authorities got slapped down hard. And in NJ, State Police attempted to confiscate a Army veterans' guns without a warrant - they, too, got slapped down.
Beto, you are nothing less than the dumbest clown in the Democrat clown car. Perhaps you should try engaging your brain before putting your mouth in gear. If your plan of confiscation were to ever take place, there would be a nationwide bloodbath that would make the mass shootings look like a Sunday picnic in comparison. Because We, the People, will NOT give up our guns OR our rights. No to you, not to anyone.

Health Insurance Is the Problem, Not the Solution
So disgusted with both Republicans and Democrats in their so-called quest for better, cheaper healthcare. Disgusted too, with the pundits and media. They ALL are concentrating on health INSURANCE as being the solution, when in fact it is the problem.
Start with this simple fact: Health insurance is NOT health CARE!
It is important to understand exactly how health insurance contributes heavily to the problem. First, understand that administering health insurance plans, payments etc. requires thousands of employees, many of whom are paid hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars. Those costs must come from insurance premiums, adding substantially to health care costs. But that is nothing compared to the excessive costs by health care providers - costs they raise to unconscionable amounts because insurance makes it possible to do so - as long as the individual is not paying directly, and as long as insurers can raise their rates, who is to complain when the hospital charges $8.00 for one aspirin?
Case in point - a full-body cat scan. Here are the facts on the cost:
National Average: $3,275
National Range: $300 – $6,750+
Outpatient Facility Average: $525
Inpatient Facility Average: $4,750
Now ask yourself - if an outpatient facility can do the scan for $525, why are hospitals charging as much as $6,750? BECAUSE THEY CAN! Insurers allow that. And they allow it so they can charge high premiums so the insurer can pocket those huge salaries.
Yet another reason health "care" (i.e. insurance) costs so much - as long as a person has insurance, they no longer need to live a healthy lifestyle. They can smoke, drink soda, be a couch potato - they do not have to concern themselves so much with making poor health choices. This results in the need for more health care. And when the demand for anything goes up, so does the cost.
If we want to decrease the expense of health care, we must first address the actual needs and the costs of those needs, and THEN we can address insurance to cover them.
First and foremost we need to address the poor lifestyle choices that contribute to over 70% of all health issues. One hundred years ago the average person was in good health, barring an injury or contagious disease. In nature, the normal state of health is good health, and poor health is abnormal. We have managed to turn that on its head with our proclivity towards making poor choices like smoking, too many sweets, fake foods (if it wasn't food a hundred years ago it is not food now), an over-abundance of chemicals and perservatives and an aversion to actual exercise and physical labor. You don't have to be a doctor to understand that our choices are largely responsible for our health. It is estimated that over 70%, and perhaps as much as 80% of all health care needs are attributed to poor lifestyle choices. If we were to all live by the Biblical statement, "All things, in moderation", and get sufficient exercise, we could cut health care costs in half.
And we could cut them even more by using our tax system to discourage poor and harmful lifestyle choices and apply those taxes to directly reduce the cost of healthier options. For example, we could increase tax on sodas and cigarettes and use those taxes EXPRESSLY to reduce, by subsidy, the cost of healthy, whole food and/or fitness equipment or gym memberships.
Costs can be reduced further by capping malpractice awards. Medicine is an imperfect science; honest mistakes can be made. The ONLY lawsuits that should be permitted are for instances of gross neglect or incompetence, and then the awards should be capped at reasonable levels. This would reduce costs in two ways: first, by reducing the exorbitant costs that doctors and medical establishments must pay for malpractice insurance, and second, because doctors will not feel obligated to "over-test" in an effort to cover their butts. Currently, doctors must test a patient for many things unrelated to the healh issue, just to play it safe. After all, $250,000,000 dollar awards are outrageous, even criminal - especially since the vast majority of those awards go to the ambulance-chasing attorneys.
To reduce health care costs further, it is as simple as stopping the "revolving door of referrals." If you know you need a gastroenterologist, why should you be required to first see a personal care physician for a "referral"? The cost of seeing the PCP adds significantly to the cost. We should be able to schedule our own appointments with the medical personnel we need.
Case in point - I suspected my medication for ulcerative colitis may have caused PML, a serious viral infection, so I wanted to see a professional to get an MRI to see if I was infected. I had to first see my PCP ($225) to get a referral to see the neurologist ($640) who referred me to an unnecessary HEART specialist (my heart is perfect) at a cost of $1200, who then, finally, got me an appointment for an MRI ($1550). A total of $3615.00, when all I needed was the MRI at less than half that cost. And as it turned out, I did not have PML. But $2,000.00 was wasted in getting that eventual determination.
Now that we have lowered the actual costs of health care into the realm of sanity, we can NOW address the cost of insurance. Having reduced health care costs by at least 50-75%, it is safe to assume one of two things - either the cost of insurance can be reduced by 50-75% OR most people can afford their health care costs without the need of insurance, as they would only be paying as much for their health care as they would have had to pay in insurance deductibles, anyway.
As a final thought, assuming we bring costs down significantly, the ONLY insurance a person should need is catastrophic insurance, to cover things most people cannot afford, such as cancer treatment. If insurance covers only catastrophic issues, the cost is significantly reduced even more.
Together, these things are not difficult to achieve. Certainly, many people will still make lifestyle choices detrimental to their health, but the high taxes on those things would help offset the costs incurred. In other words, people choosing to harm themselves would be the same people carrying the brunt of the costs of their treatment. No longer will you and I be paying too much for insurance because someone else chooses to drink, smoke or junk food themselves into oblivion.

Yang Joins the "Buying Votes" Crowd
At the debate last evening, candidate Andrew Yang joined the chorus of Democrats who resort to buying votes rather than earning them. He stated his campaign was going to have a lottery and give $1000 per month to 10 families.
Let's overlook whether or not such a lottery is even legal. What certainly is illegal is buying votes. And even more so if the money comes from campaign funds. And, of course, that will likely be overlooked by an increasingly rigged system.
So let us take a quick look at how all of the Democrat candidates are buying votes:
1) FREE college tuition, to buy votes from the youngest voters who know nothing about what it takes to run this country
2) Pay off student debt, to buy the votes of previous college students - millennials
3) Free medicare for all - buying the votes of people with health issues (everyone!)
4) Increase minimum wage to $15/hour (forces businesses to replace workers with AI, REDUCING their wages to ZERO)
5) Now Sen. Warren promises the elderly a $200/month increase in Social (in)Security
Is there anyone's vote the Democrats are not buying with promises of more money or free stuff? On the bright side, most people are not that gullible - but many are. A growing number of Americans are becoming increasingly ignorant of what is really going on, and even fail to understand how things work. Our schools, colleges and universities are turning out students that cannot rise above 27% proficiency in ANY subject. They no longer teach civics or U.S. History. They no longer teach the Constitution. Only 18% are even proficient in WRITING! They are too busy teaching about familes with two moms, or teaching how diversity is better than ability, and free speech is "for me, but not for thee", and encouraging safe spaces and protests.
We are losing our Republic to fools, ignoramuses, liars, cheats and criminals. Benjamin Franklin (someone that most students today have never heard of), when a woman asked him what kind of government we would have, said, "A Republic, madame - if you can keep it!"
We are not keeping it...

Dem Plan to Create a Socialist State – The Cloward-Piven Method
The following "rules" were put forth by Cloward and Piven, socialists who modeled these rules from Saul Alinski's "Rules for Radicals", which was in turn taken from the Communist Manifesto.
Creating a social state involves taking control in eight areas. The first is the most important because it involves everyone and is a matter of life and death. As you read through these (and hopefully think about them), ask yourself who is pushing these:
Healthcare– Control healthcare and you control the people.
Poverty – Increase the poverty level as high as possible, then provide the basics for them from the government teat, because it is easier to control poor people - they won't bite the hand that feeds them.
Debt – Literally bankrupt the treasury. Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
Gun Control – Remove the ability of the people to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state
Welfare – Take control of every aspect of their lives. (Food, Housing, Education and Income)
Education – Take control of what people read and listen to, and especially take control of what children learn in school. Tech students WHAT to think, not HOW to think
Religion – The tenets of religion are the strongest defense against socialism. Remove belief in God from the Government and schools. Deprive religion of any public forum, which cripples its ability to sustain itself
Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor, and by race, gender and by any other criterion possible. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.
It is all about CONTROLLING the people. Make them dependent upon welfare, drugs, and even deprive them of their basic needs and have the government provide them, and as long as you have disarmed them and robbed them of the courage that comes from a faith in God, you will have all the power, unencumbered, and an unending supply of serfs.

Now stop and ask yourself - which political party is pushing for all of the above? And is that a world you would be comfortable living in?
The 2020 election will be the the most critical election since Abraham Lincoln, maybe more so. Choose the world you want to live in, or have it chosen for you

Why Biden Is Polling #1
A lot of people are at a loss as to why Joe Biden continues to poll #1 even after all his gaffes and the outright lies about his past and his "accomplishments". It even perplexed me until I understood it from the viewpoint of on-the-street democrats.
Of all the 2020 Democrat contenders, Biden is the only one the average, non-rabid voters see as being moderate. Democrats just cannot swallow the far-left radical plans of the other candidates. And they are not overly concerned that Biden is jumpng on the same "whacky train" because they think he is only doing that in order to win the primaries. They believe that once the primaries are over, Biden will revert back to a moderate. And he would.
One needs to understand a very important point - one that cagey old Biden is well aware of: primary voters are not the same people as "on-the-street" voters. Primaries typically attract the most radical voters , while most other voters stay home - they don't care that much about primaries. But the average moderate voters turn out in much larger numbers for general elections. This is precisely why candidates move to the left during primaries, to win their radical base, then swerve back to the middle during the general.
Polls are taken from a cross-section of likely general election voters, and the average democrat cannot accept the insanity of the radical wing of their party, so when they are polled they choose the only candidate they see as even a remote possibility of being a moderate. They only have two choices - choose Biden, or choose no one.
And that is why Joe Biden polls in first place. But that is unlikely to do him much good.

Dems Are Pushing the Wrong Issue on Guns
In 2017, 3.499 people were killed by rifles and "firearms other than handguns" - one every 2.5 hours
In 2017, 10,874 people died in drunk driving crashes – one every 48 minutes
Seems like we would be better served to ban booze instead of "assault-style guns. Oh! But wait - they TRIED that in '29, and there was a ten year murder and crime spree.
Truth be known, these assault-STYLE weapons are simply ordinary semi-auto hunting rifles made to LOOK like military full auto weapons. Even if you ban them, the same rifles capable of rapid-fire semi auto action would still be available in non-AR15 or AK47 styling. My Remington Woodsmaster can fire as quickly as any assault-style semi-auto. So to advocate the banning of the so-called "assault weapons" is a completely useless gesture and would do nothing to reduce mass shootings. And even if you ban ALL guns, anyone intent on mass killing would simply strap on a bomb, or get behind the wheel in a crowd. In short, banning the TOOL used by murderers will not stop murderers.
But I can tell you what would have a positive effect...
1) Parents more involved in their children's lives, and being observant for abnormal or erratic behavior
2) Banning social media for anyone under the age of 16 - give children a chance to make REAL friends in the REAL world, who might help act as a stabilizing rudder
3) Put God back into the public arena. No, the government may not push any religion, but they are not to interfere in any, either
4) Make abortion RARE, as it was supposed to be. Kids see the big push to allow any mother to kill any baby for any reason and those kids learn that there is no sanctity of life
5) Pressure Hollywood to make "family fare" films andto stop making "kill 'em all as fast as you can" flicks. Regardless of how many tiome biased "experts" say they do not have any negative affect, kids DO learn from everything in their environment.
It is up to we, the parents, to monitor that environment - including the schools - to insure the healthiest environment for growing our children.

Sen. Warren Misuses the Bible For Her Personal Gain
Sen. Elizabeth Warren invoked Matthew 25 in a speech to Christians,
claiming "The Lord calls us to act." But that is neither the narrative
of Matthew 25 nor the intent.
Matthew 25 consists of three parables (posted below for reference). The parable of the ten virgins is in reference to entering the Kingdom of Heaven and tells us we cannot be foolish and unwise and then expect the Lord to "open the door" for you afterward.
The second parable is the one of the servants and the talents. God gives each of us what we need, and tasks us with using his gifts to us wisely. Those who do not are punished. This is one of the many chapters in the Bible that speak well of EARNING what you want, and using it responsibly. The Lord gives us responsibility, and those who act accordingly are granted greater responsibility and the rewards include a share in the Master’s joy for their work. It denounces the lazy and irresponsible. He does NOT call for the wise and fruitful to support the lazy and irresponsible - just the less fortunate; those UNABLE by fate to care for themselves.
The third parable is the "sheep and the goats". The sheep are the righteous, being granted the Kingdom of Heaven because they took care of the less fortunate (but NOT the lazy and irresponsible, as shown in the first two parables). They cared for the sick, the hungry, the thirsty etc.
We are tasked to act in His name to be good stewards of His gifts to us. As He said in another story, we should only sow our seeds the Word of God and God's gifts to us) on FERTILE ground, and to not waste it on barren, rocky or thorny ground . The Lord told what he meant by “good” soil - the person who readily listens to the His word (symbolized by the seed) and understands it (Mt. 13:23). Mark describes the good soil as those who “accept” the seed (4:20), while Luke characterizes the fruit-producing soil as those who have an “honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast...” (8:15).
Senator Warren does not know nor understand the Bible, and like so many others, cherry-picks verses for her own personal benefit - which is very much in opposition of what the Lord calls us to do.
Matthew 25:1-13
1“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
3 The foolish ones, when taking their lamps, brought no oil with them,
4 But the wise brought flasks of oil with their lamps.
5 Since the bridegroom was long delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6 At midnight, there was a cry, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
7 Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps.
8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
9 But the wise ones replied, ‘No, for there may not be enough for us and you. Go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.’
10 While they went off to buy it, the bridegroom came and those who were ready went into the wedding feast with him. Then the door was locked.
11 Afterwards the other virgins came and said, ‘Lord, Lord, open the door for us!’
12 But he said in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, I do not know you.’
13 Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
Matthew 25:14-30
14 “It will be as when a man who was going on a journey called in his servants and entrusted his possessions to them.
15To one he gave five talents; to another, two; to a third, one—to each according to his ability. Then he went away. Immediately
16 the one who received five talents went and traded with them, and made another five.
17 Likewise, the one who received two made another two.
18 But the man who received one went off and dug a hole in the ground and buried his master’s money.
19 After a long time the master of those servants came back and settled accounts with them.
20 The one who had received five talents came forward bringing the additional five. He said, ‘Master, you gave me five talents. See, I have made five more.’
21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master’s joy.’
22 [Then] the one who had received two talents also came forward and said, ‘Master, you gave me two talents. See, I have made two more.’
23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master’s joy.’
24 Then the one who had received the one talent came forward and said, ‘Master, I knew you were a demanding person, harvesting where you did not plant and gathering where you did not scatter;
25 So out of fear I went off and buried your talent in the ground. Here it is back.’
26 His master said to him in reply, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I did not plant and gather where I did not scatter?
27 Should you not then have put my money in the bank so that I could have got it back with interest on my return?
28Now then! Take the talent from him and give it to the one with ten.
29 For to everyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
30 And throw this useless servant into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.’
Matthew 25:31-46
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne,
32 and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33 He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me,
36 naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.’
37 Then the righteous will answer him and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?
38 When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?
39 When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?’
40 And the king will say to them in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’
41 Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,
43 A stranger and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.’
44 Then they will answer and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs?’
45 He will answer them, ‘Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.’
46 And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Now AOL & Yahoo Are Doxxing Trump Donors
This is getting truly disgusting. Both AOL and Yahoo have written and posted "news" articles that "out" all the brands that have donated to Trump, following the unconscionable act by Castro last week, when he outed El Paso donors.
There is only ONE reason to do this - to try to prevent people from donating, for fear of retaliation. It seems that intimidation, fascist tactics and fear mongering has become tenets of the liberal Democrat party. They know they cannot win on their sick, lame policies, so they resort to personal attacks on the opponents AND their supporters. This is exactly what the Nazis did in Germany in the 30's.
And I, for one am sick of it!I never in my life donated to any political campaign, but this disgustinbg crap coming from far-left radicals like AOL, Yahoo, CNN and MSNBC has just changed all that - this evening I'm writing out a check for the maximum to the Trump campaign, and another to the RNC. Because the only way to stop the horrid actions of the far-left is to defeat them resoundingly. Beat them so badly at the ballot box that they will be generations trying to recover.

Rep. Tlaib - A Phony Trying To Score Points Against Israel
Rep. Tlaib set out with Ilhan Omar to create a "gotcha" moment for Israel. They knew that Israel law does not permit access to Israel by anyone who advocates for BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions), so they said they wanted to visit Israel, knowing they would not be allowed to enter, thereby giving Tlaib and Omar their "gotcha" moment, claiming Israel is not really democratic, and, of course "racist". And it would have worked if Tlaib had not decided to push it further by writing them a letter beseeching them to please let her visit her 90 year old grandma one last time.
Tlaib fully expected to be denied, so she could show a copy of the "humanitarian" letter to the press along with Israel's rejection. But Israel did NOT reject her plea - they told Tlaib she could visit her grandma.
Tlaib immediately did a turnaround and said she doesn't want to go after all. "I have decided that visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in — fighting against racism, oppression & injustice," Tlaib tweeted Friday. Apparently, seeing her 90 year old granny was not important after all. What was MORE important was scoring points against Israel, and it backfired. She was a phony, and got called out.
And just for the record, neither Palestinian nor Jew is a "race", so her accusation of racism is just as phony as she is. Racism is the far-left's go-to slur whenever they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

2020 Will NOT Be About Socialism vs Capitalism
Many (most) of the pundits, particularly in the mainstream media (including Fox News) seem to think the 2020 election is going to be about socialism vs capitalism, since most of the Democratic candidates are touting various degrees of socialism, while Trump - well, you already know where he stands.
And while there may be a few grains of truth in 2020 being a match between two economic models, when voters get to the polling place it will all be about one thing - positive vs negative.
Trump is funny, entertaining and above all, has a positive outlook. But almost every leading Democratic candidate is the polar opposite - sour, angry and yelling. And although that negative attitude may work with their angry, far-left base, it turns off the vast majority of Americans.
If Democrats had learned anything from the Reagan landslide of '84, it should have been his positive "America is, and always will be, a shining city on a hill" vision of our great nation. He won 49 of the 50 states because he was entertaining, funny and POSITIVE.
Here's my take: if a person is sour, angry, yelling and pounding on the desk like Kruschev was in the '60's, I don't want them anywhere near the controls of America.
And if Democrats don't wake up, 2020 may well be a repeat of '84. And that, I think, would be a good thing.

We Once Thought Kamala Harris Was A Serious Candidate
Early in the campaign season, we thought Kamala Harris was a serious candidate. Recent events prove we were very, very wrong. The latest example of her wrongheadedness and her penchant for twisting the facts comes when she claimed Trump is on a "campaign of terror against immigrants" with his raids last week.
No one with an I.Q of two digits or more believes that! First, the raids were not against "immigrants". They were specifically against criminals who were in this country illegally, were given the maximum amount of due process, and the federal courts had ORDERED THEM DEPORTED.
But Harris and the radical lamestream media want everyone to believe these were simply immigrants, here legally, living with their families in peace, abiding by our laws.
Harris is a sitting Senator. If she does not approve of the immigration laws we have, she should write and try passing a bill to change them. But she has not done so. She has NO right to complain.
Harris - and most other Democrat candidates, with help from the leftist media - are being dishonest about everything - immigration, medicare for all, student loans, green new deal - you name it.
No, Harris is not a serious candidate. In fact, the only Democrat candidate that appears to be honest is Tulsi Gabbard. While we do not agree with her policies either, at least she isn't trying to con us - yet.

"Trump retweets post alleging without evidence..."
NBC "news" is so duplicitous that they are not worthy of anyone's time. Today they published that "President Donald Trump retweeted a conspiracy theory on Saturday evening
alleging without evidence that former President Bill Clinton was
connected to the death of wealthy financier and accused sex trafficker
Jeffrey Epstein..."
Think about that - NBC is complaining the a Republican "alleged without evidence." These are the same liberal "news" people who had no problem with the "allegations without evidence" in connection with the Kavanaugh hearings, or the alleging without evidence that Trump was a Russian agent, or any one of a dozen other instances.
NBC and all the other dishonest, misleading, deceiving hypocrites on the left have no problem being so one-sidedly duplicitous. They constantly engage in all the bad behavior they accuse the right of doing. It's called "projection". It's also called being two-faced.
The people are getting wise. If the left keeps up with their hypocrisy and double-dealing, double-talking crap, they will be "projecting" themselves right out of business.

Freedom of the Press? NOT!
There appears to be a serious misunderstanding concerning several of the rights stated in the Bill of Rights. Freedom of the press is one such right.
Yes, we have rights, but with every right there comes the responsibility to not abuse it. And in modern times, the mainstream media is sorely and blatantly abusing their right to a free press by reporting only one side with any honesty. Outlets such as CNN, MSNBC and many others - almost ALL others - do not even attempt to put forth an objective view when it comes to political, cultural and social issues. They ae totally one-sided.
And while we all have a right to express our opinions, those in the media who are tasked with REPORTING are supposed to forego expressing opinions. Opinions are supposed to be in the wheelhouse of pundits, not reporters.
The mainstream media abuses their position of authority by pushing forth an agenda. Most of their "reporting" favors the left, and demonizes the right. Their reporting pushes some form of socialist culture and tears down anything traditional. There is nothing fair, balanced or objective in what they put out for consumption, and they do so with purpose and intent to mislead the public, to "brainwash" the public into believing things that simply are not true.
Anyone who does their own "investigative reporting" and avoids getting their "facts" from mainstream media and liberal bloggers will discover that the media narrative that Trump is racist is completely bogus, as was their two-year insistence that he was a Russan agent. Research would show that Antifa is a domestic terrorist group, and not "peaceful protesters" fighting against fascists. In fact, if you watch the videos of their violence, you will see that THEY are the fascists (look up the definition if you do not believe that).
The point: the media does have a right to report the truth, but they do NOT have a right to use their power to deceive and mislead us. They do not have the right to tell us something is a fact when it is not. They do not have a right to lie!
President Trump is being gentle with them by calling them "fake news". They are not just purveyors of phony stories - they are blatant, pathological liars intent in doing us harm. "Trump is racist." Trump is a Russian agent." "Republicans are evil." "Gun controls reduce crime." "Antifa is a peaceful group of protesters using their right to protest." The Coventry kids who stood motionless and quiet were accused by the media of hateful, threatening conduct, but "protesters" on the left who were disturbing the peace and screaming profanities and threatening death to McConnell in the middle of the night at his home were deemed by mainstream media as "just peaceful protesters exercising their First Amendment right."
There are a few good outlets, but unfortunately not everyone uses them as their "go to" for news. Fox News makes a concerted effort to be fair, but even they stress a viewpoint. But while their pundits like Hannity are blatantly one-sided, their actual NEWS anchors are not - they report BOTH sides of the story, honestly and objectively. On Fox you will see video and hear audio that the rest of the media buries. If a person is truly interested in knowing what is really going on around them, they would do well to spend as much time watching Fox News as they do any other outlet. THEN decide wherein lies the truth.
If we are going to be honestly informed about events, and their consequences, we need to crack down on those in the media who are determined to undermine America with their lies. And while they are free to report, we should be able to sue them and hold them accountable when they intentionally mislead and deceive us by not reporting the WHOLE truth. If we instead choose to ignore it, and assume they have some inherent right to deceive us, then we will deserve the crumbling society that will be the future of this once great nation of strong, free-thinking independent people.

Do Democrats Really Believe Trump is Racist?
Many of the Democrat candidates for political office, many liberal elites and almost all mainstream media are quick to call Trump a racist and white supremacist. He's not, of course, and they all know it. So why do they insist on calling him that?
They do not believe Trump is racist. What they DO believe is that by labeling him that, and calling him that in a concerted non-stop "choir", they just might convince enough voters so the Democrts might win elections without having to offer good policies. To Democrats, it's all about power, and nothing else. Like Joe Biden said, facts do not matter. What matters is your "personal truth", whether or not that "truth" is true.
For over two years the Democrats, liberals and mainstream media, in order to try and get rid of Trump, peppered us 24/7 with the "fact" that Trump was a Russian agent. We now know that was never true, and they KNEW it was never true. And now that the Mueller Report is out, they have suddenly dropped THAT lie for a new one - that it is a "fact" that Trump is a white supremacist racist, which also is not true, but is designed to get rid of Trump. That's what the left does - rather than stumping on their accomplishments and proposed policies, it is easier to just smear the opponent on a personal level, and there need not be any facts to support their smears. Just get enough people (with the help of the media) to say it often enough and it becomes the "truth" devoid of facts that Biden spoke of.
For those who look closely at DEEDS, and not rhetoric, it is pretty easy to see that the true racists are on the left. Take for example Montgomery County in Maryland (or any elitist liberal enclave). Very elitist; very democrat. They SAY they are all for helping the "little people", the downtrodden minorities. But when it was suggested they open their elite communities to the less fortunate by adding low-cost housing, they all said in one, loud voice, "Not in my neighborhood."
And that is the difference - Trump may talk as if he is racist, but his ACTIONS prove he is not. On the other hand, liberals TALK like they are not racist, but their ACTIONS prove they are. Talk is cheap - actions are what count.
If Jesus were among us today, and were ro run for office as a Republican, the left would label Him a racist, and as proof they would point out that there is no race diversity among His chosen disciples. (Not to mention that so many Democrats today have shown themselves to be anti-semitic, and Jesus was a Jew.)
Vote for whomever has the right ACTIONS in their history (record low unemployment; increased opportunities for minorities; strong foreign plocy to make America stronger), and not those who just TALK a good game and make empty promises (free college; Green new deal; free medical; free, free, free).

CA Passes Law To Rig Elections
California has passed a law (which is unconstitutional) that would not allow President Trump to be on the ballot unless he produces his personal and private tax returns.
The California legislators and governor believes they have the right to interfere with the election in ways the Russians would only dream of! Such a law, if executed, would disenfranchise all of Californias Republican voters and deny them their right to vote for the candidate of their choice.
The California liberals show their contempt for democracy and the Constitution, and their blatant attempt to try usurping elections. That, my friend, is the epitome of fascism.
What's next? Not allowing ANY Republican to be on the ballot until they swear allegiance to the Green New Deal, or vote for gun confiscation?

Gun Control - the REAL Reson the Left Pushes It
You have heard all the rhetoric - from both sides - as to why we need more gun controls, or why we do not. What you have NOT heard is the real reason those on the left want more gun control.
To begin, understand that the left has always used the "Overton Window" strategy to get their way. You can think of it as getting to the (moving) goal post incrementally. They want the legalization of drugs, so they start with fighting for something so innocuous as "decriminalization", then moving to "medicinal use", and now to recreational use. With that in mind, make no mistake - "gun controls" are just the first step in their very real quest to do away with our right to own and bear arms. They want to take our guns. Period. And there is plenty of proof if you doubt this.
But the real question is: WHY?
Here's why - the radical left plans on being in control of Congress and the White House again someday. And when that day comes, they intend to put through their radical, socialist agenda. We know this because they tell us that is their goal. Most people are aware of that. But what many may not be aware of is that they play a "long game". They realize that pushing through their socialist agenda, to achieve more - and permanent - power for themselves, it would very likely start a civil war - a SHOOTING war - as millions of Americans will fight to the death to preserve the Constitution and our freedoms. They know that millions of citizens will take arms against ANY government that tries to take away their guns and push through socialism.
And the left knows that the only way they can retain their control, permanently, is to disarm the opponents. Without weapons, We, the People would not be able to stand against the full power of a government that is under the left's control.
They plan a coup. They want complete and permanent control. But they could never achieve it as long as millions of everyday citizens have guns.
Sure, you could say this is a "conspiracy theory". But if you research the things powerful people on the left have actually been saying and doing, it becomes all to clear that this is reality. For example, at a town hall meeting in Keene NH in October 2015, Hillary Clinton said that a mandatory gun buyback program is something “worth looking at,” referring to Australia’s firearms confiscation programs in 1996 and 2003, which collected roughly 700,000 banned semiautomatic rifles and other firearms. And SHE was almost elected president!
And now we have Bloomberg's organization, and others actually calling for eventual confiscation, but they do so via the "Overton Window" model - incrementally, as they do everything else.
Conspiracy theory? Perhaps - but unlikely!

Fake News on Gun Deaths
Let's begin with the understanding that MISLEADING news is fake news. And the mainstream media is chock full of misleading news.
Like the New York Times screaming about "40,000 gun deaths a year", and Beto O'Rourke repeating it because he either does not realize it is misleading, or he is just as dishonest.
Yes, according to statistics there were over 40,000 deaths by guns last year. But what the anti-gun cult won't tell you is that over 60% of those are SUICIDES - and any person intent on suicide will do so regardless of whether a gun is available. Of those 40,000 deaths, fewer than 11,000 were firearm related homicides.While that number seems significant, we should note the perspective - more people die each year from hypertension.
And when that anti-gun bunch spouts off on how we need to "keep those military weapons on the battlefields and out of our communities" as O'Rourke put it, that, too is dishonestly misleading. The facts that O'Rourke and his ilk refuse to point out are a) there are no military weapons in our communities. In referring to semi-auto rifles, those are deer rifles, not military weapons (which are fully automatic), and b) only 403 of those 40,000 gun deaths were by ANY kind of rifle. And more people were killed by blunt instruments (i.e. hammer etc.) than by "assault-style" weapons.
They also will not tell you that gun deaths - including the suicides - represent only 1/10th the estimated number of deaths by medical error, and don't even rate among the top 15 causes of death in America.
And they won't tell you that while suicides are up, murders by firearms are down.
When I listen to people like O'Rourke, or the NYT, I am reminded of Chicken Little screaming that "The sky is falling"...

From The Fake News Dept of AOL?
From the Fake News department at AOL.com concerning the release of A$AP:
"While the Twitterverse had a shocking response to Trump's unexpected series of puns, other tweets called out POTUS' dedication to the case, noting it's solely because of the rapper's A-list inner circle.
"Trump cares more about a rich and influential rapper who has many rich and influential friends in the top 1% than he cares about the thousands of immigrant children stripped from their families and thrown into internment camps on American soil whereas A$AP Rocky is in Sweden."
"A$AP Rocky was released because he is innocent. Trump had absolutely nothing to do with that and he needs to stop pandering to his top 1% influential friends while 99% of regular Americans, especially African Americans and minorities, are suffering under his administration," the user added.
REALLY? Does this clown not read the REAL news? That under Trump, minority unemployment is at an all-time low and their wages increasing for the first time in over two decades? That Trump has created hundreds of "Opportunity Zones" in urban areas nationwide? That Trump has eliminated hundreds of regulations that have been helping to keep urban areas depressed?
And for the record, contrary to what this "tweet"claims, A$AP was not found innocent. The final verdict has not yet come down and prosecutors are asking he get at least 6 months incarceration. So, it appears this "tweeter" is seriously uninformed about many things.
More to the point that this is likely fake news, I find it telling that AOL does not actually post the tweet as proof that there was such a rant, or that they attribute it to the person who supposedly wrote it. We are supposed to take AOL's word for it, when in fact, it is more likely that they wrote that "tweet" themselves, to push the liberal agenda we all know they like to push. Until AOL can evidence that such a tweet was made by someone other than AOL, I will consider it fake news. My opinion.
Trump has done more for minorities in 2 years than has been done in the last 40 years prior.
But we can count on AOL/Huffington Post, CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post and all the other liberal media to keep those things under wraps - they prefer to keep voters ignorant, as ignorant people are easier to control.
