Don McGahn, White House Counsel, speaks at the Federalist Society Convention on rolling back the administrative state and appointing originalist judges This is a speech by Don McGahn, Counsel to the President, speaking this week at the Federalist Society Convention. It's long, but funny and incredibly encouraging, even exciting, for those of us who recognize the danger of the unaccountable administrative state. McGahn seems to be the brains behind the President's extraordinary choices to fill Federal judgeships, including Gorsuch's appointment to the Supreme Court. My wife and I cheered. _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

Perhaps another judge should permanently ban Orrick (and other leftist judges) from exceeding their authority. The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC The Dhimocrats love America like ticks love a hound. | |||

MAGA - letting our forces do what they are best at - killing people and breaking things (that need it). The US is now hitting the Taliban way it hit ISIS AIRPOWER UNLEASHED IN AFGHANISTAN: The strategy that took down the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria is now on full display in Afghanistan. U.S. Afghanistan commander Gen. John “Mick” Nicholson says that in the first “significant” use of expanded authorities he is now able to target the source of the Taliban’s power: Its estimated $200 million annual income from opium sales. Under President Barack Obama, U.S. commanders were barred from conducting offensive airstrikes against the Taliban. Airstrikes had to be defensive and conducted in proximity to Afghan forces on the ground. Under President Trump’s new strategy, the U.S. is free to seek and destroy the drug labs that are the lifeblood of the Taliban, in the same way the U.S. targeted oil trucks, refineries and cash storage that provided a steady stream of revenue for ISIS fighters in Iraq and Syria. “These new authorities give me the ability to go after the enemy in ways that I couldn't before … to use airpower in the most effective way, going forward,” Nicholson told Pentagon reporters in a live briefing from his headquarters in Afghanistan. “We're hitting the Taliban where it hurts, which is their finances.” BREAKING THE CYCLE, BREAKING THEIR WILL: The war in Afghanistan, now in its 17th year, has followed an unproductive pattern of a spring/summer “fighting season,” followed by a winter lull, where both sides lick their wounds and get ready for next year. But under the new strategy, the U.S. will methodically target drug production facilities over the winter to put increasing pressure on the Taliban. “Our message to the enemy is that you cannot win the war. It's time to lay down your arms and enter into a reconciliation process,” Nicholson said. “If they don't, they're going to be consigned to irrelevance as the Afghans expand their control of the country, or death.” Nicholson sees three lines of increasing pressure on the Taliban: On the battlefield as Afghan forces are backed by the kind of air support that defeated ISIS; economic pressure by squeezing its revenue stream from opium; and social pressure from upcoming elections. “These forms of pressure is what will compel them to join the reconciliation process,” Nicholson said. BY THE NUMBERS: Nicholson says the Taliban has become a full-fledged “narco-insurgency,” a criminal enterprise that makes its money by drug trafficking, illegal mining, kidnapping for hire and murder. “Profits from narcotics now exceed their operating expenses,” Nicholson said. “We find that the leadership of the Taliban fight over the money, and it's often divided along tribal lines.” Percentage of world’s heroin linked to Taliban: 85 percent Percentage of heroin in the U.S. from Afghanistan: 4 percent Street value of Afghanistan opium: $60 billion Estimated profit to Taliban: $200 million Number of Taliban drug labs: 400-500 Number of Taliban drug labs destroyed Sunday: 10 F-22’S DEBUT: The first round of strikes followed three months of planning to make sure the U.S. knew the precise locations of Taliban drug production facilities, and matched the right muntion to each target. That resulted in the first airstrike by the F-22 stealth fighter in Afghanistan. Because the Raptor is an air superiority fighter, its use raised some eyebrows, but Nicholson explained the F-22 was pressed into service because it can carry a small diameter 250-pound bomb that was needed to avoid collateral damage. AFGHANISTAN’S SUPER TUCANOS: While U.S. B-52s did the heavy bombing, Afghanistan’s fledging air force was technically leading the Sunday attacks. The service bombed two of the drug labs with its A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft, and the U.S. destroyed eight other targets with B-52s and an F-22. In one case, Nicholson said a B-52 dropped a 2,000-pound bomb on a facility where over 50 barrels of opium were cooking at the time of the strike, worth millions of dollars. The claim reflects the level of intelligence the U.S. has about what was going on at the target. http://www.washingtonexaminer....isis/article/2177007 NRA Life Member - "Fear God and Dreadnaught" | |||

It is discouraging to see such a message delivered so poorly. It is not often that a poor public speaker rises to such prominence in our profession. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

More MAGA success ignored/downplayed by media: LINK One excuse: Trump didn't tweet about it. So the GDCs at the MSM don't feel they need to cover anything unless Trump tweets about it? What kind of bullshit is that?

http://www.washingtonexaminer....sier/article/2641207 An August 24, 2017 subpoena from the House Intelligence Committee to the FBI and Justice Department asked for information on the bureau's efforts to validate the dossier. Specifically, the subpoena demanded "any documents, if they exist, that memorialize DOJ and/or FBI efforts to corroborate, validate, or evaluate information provided by Mr. Steele and/or sub-sources and/or contained in the 'Trump Dossier.'" According to sources familiar with the matter, neither the FBI nor the Justice Department has provided documents in response to that part of the committee's subpoena But in face-to-face briefings with congressional staff, according to those sources, FBI and DOJ officials have said they cannot verify the dossier's charges of a conspiracy between the Russian government and the Trump campaign. *********** so how does POS DEM Adam Schiff describe this situation ? "A lot of it has turned out to be true," "The biggest thing that I think people need to realize about the dossier is that Christopher Steele discovered that the Russians were embarked on a broad effort to help the Trump campaign before our own intelligence agencies came to the same conclusion," "In the broadest outline of what he investigated, he proved more than prescience — he proved accurate in terms of the Russian involvement and what their motivations were." in other words, they haven't proven any of the dossier claims to be true "in the broadest outline" is the best Schiff can do | |||

Schiff is a scumbag and WHY THE HELL aren't the DOJ and the FBI cooperating with congress??? | |||

from lbj's link: "With each passing day, this is looking less and less like a legitimate investigation and more like an attempt by the Washington establishment to stage a palace coup against a duly elected president." Muellar may be focusing on Donald Trump firing Comey for an investigation that should never have started. Keep all this in mind for when Muellar starts going after people w prosecutions. | |||

| Glorious SPAM! |
If Mueller can't find it, he will make it up. His handlers have told him not to finish until he does. And until someone begins to investigate the left, he will continue. | |||

Remember the MAGA Hat thief? Accused 'Make America Great Again' hat thief could face jail time A University of California, Riverside student could face jail time after she was seen in a now-viral video appearing to swipe a "Make America Great Again" hat from a fellow Highlander. Edith Macias allegedly snatched Matthew Vitale’s MAGA hat before going on a bizarre, profanity-laced tirade in the video, shot by Vitale. The Riverside County District Attorney’s Office told Fox News that, if convicted, Macias faced a maximum sentence of up to one year in county jail. “I’m very excited that the DA’s office took it seriously,” Vitale told Fox News. “We can’t thank UCPD enough.” According to the criminal complaint, Macias is being charged with a misdemeanor offense of petty theft in the Sept. 27 incident. A spokesman for the DA’s office said the next court date is set for March. Vitale, a member of the UC Riverside Republicans, pressed charges after the incident, in which he said Macias stole his pro-Trump hat off his head during a campus meeting and refused to give it back -- before two police officers responded to the scene and intervened. According to the arrest warrant, Macias told one of the officers she wanted to burn the MAGA hat because she believed the words “Make America Great Again” represented the “genocide of a bunch of people.” The police officers were able to review video from both Macias’ and Vitale’s Facebook pages, which appeared to showed Macias physically removing the hat from Vitale’s head and running away with it, then repeatedly refusing to return in. Vitale eventually got his hat back -- after Macias is seen in the video giving it to university staff who then turn the hat over to its owner. Vitale said he was “disappointed” after University Chancellor Kim A. Wilcox issued a diplomatic statement noting that, “coequal to our dedication to mutual respect, is our commitment to free speech and the free exchange of ideas.” “I get the feeling that the school didn’t take it very seriously,” Vitale said. Inspired by the incident, Vitale and other College Republicans in Southern California started instituting "MAGA Mondays," in which they proudly display their Trump gear on campus -- including the same hat Macias allegedly stole. “I do, very proudly, wear my MAGA hat,” Vitale said, though he added it was never about the $25 ball cap. “I’m not doing this to be punitive or see her rot in jail,” he said. “I want people my age to realize that things like this aren’t tolerated in America. We just want to have our rights guaranteed and that’s what it’s all about.” "Blessed is he who when facing his own demise, thinks only of his front sight.” Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem Montani Semper Liberi | |||

now Sebelius jumps in. this whole thing does have a sense of an organized plot http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/22/...-behavior/index.html a senior Democratic leader says her party should reflect on how it handled such charges when they were leveled against former President Bill Clinton. "Not only did people look the other way, but they went after the women who came forward and accused him," says Kathleen Sebelius, the former secretary of Health and Human Services and Kansas governor. "And so it doubled down on not only bad behavior but abusive behavior. And then people attacked the victims." Sebelius extended her criticism to Hillary Clinton, and the Clinton White House for what she called a strategy of dismissing and besmirching the women who stepped forward—a pattern she said is being repeated today by alleged perpetrators of sexual assault—saying that the criticism of the former first lady and Secretary of State was "absolutely" fair. Sebelius noted that the Clinton Administration's response was being imitated, adding that "you can watch that same pattern repeat, It needs to end. It needs to be over." ************ do you think the DEMs are setting the stage for another massive attack on President Trump ? The Russia thing isn't getting them where they want to go. | |||

I would think if there were women who were going to claim Trump harassed them 40 years ago, they would have already come forward. As is said in the courtroom.....question has been asked and answered. All that stuff was brought to light when they uncovered the Bang Bros. bus conversation about Trump grabbing someone's taint. Asked and answered right before the election and it still didn't matter...the man is my President. What more can "they" drum up that's going to contain an ounce of credibility?? "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||
