Remember back in 2012 when obama was going to make Susan Rice the new Secretary of State (following H Clinton)?
Then the Benghazi lying went into over drive. Sec State needs approval by the Senate. So obama went to Kerry for Sec State, and put Rice in National Security Advisor (which doesn't need Senate approval)
But we came close to having Sec State Rice. I guess the only thing that saved us was that old "ad hominem".

I'm sure most of you are really tired of all the recent "winning", but this one is especially satisfying
Senator Claire McCaskill (D) during a senate hearing and a tweet:
I've been on the Armed Services Com for 10 years. No call or meeting w/Russian ambassador. Ever. Ambassadors call members of Foreign Rel Com.
"Ever"
as I recall, she was hammering Jeff Sessions in his confirmation hearing. She was quite dramatic
Someone pulls up a 2013 tweet from Claire:
Off to meeting w/Russian Ambassador. Upset about the arbitrary/cruel decision to end all US adoptions, even those in process.
next,
CNN has learned McCaskill spent an evening at a black-tie reception at the ambassador's Washington residence in November 2015
McCaskill was photographed at the event
Claire:
the 140-character limit on Twitter did not let her clarify that she never met "one-on-one" with the Russian ambassador, and added she "did not" speak with Kislyak at the reception.
and now,
Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill (Mo.) used a personal foundation to pay for a dinner she attended at Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak's Washington, D.C., residence.
McCaskill's attendance at the dinner was accompanied by an $873 payment to the American-Russian Cultural Cooperation Foundation, where Kislyak serves on its board of directors as honorary chairman.
The payment to Kislyak's foundation was not made directly by McCaskill—it was made through a foundation, the Shepard Family Foundation, that she set up with her husband Jon Shepard in 2013 but failed to disclose in filings to the Senate ethics committee until three weeks ago
The sudden disclosure of McCaskill's role in the foundation—which had to be inserted into disclosures covering 2014, 2015, and 2016 through amendments on June 6—came as part of an attempt to distance herself from investments in an opioid manufacturer.

Dude I freaking exhausted after the last week. I think I need a one day break from winning. It's getting hard to keep abreast of all the winning going on recently.

Mark Steyn has a terrific "analysis" of CNN's melt down in his inimitable style on Tucker Carlson tonight. I can't figure how to post or link to it.
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

CNN Anchor: Trump Putting Journalists In Danger; "Declaration Of War On Media" Has "Emboldened" War Zones
CNN's Clarissa Ward, a foreign correspondent, served as guest co-host on Wednesday's broadcast of CNN's News Day. Ward fretted "people" in war zones have been "emboldened" by President Trump's "declaration of war on the media."
Ward, expressing concern for members of the media in dangerous areas of the world, said to guest Chris Cillizza, 'I can only imagine what a person like you is dealing with. At what point does this become reckless or irresponsible?'
?? Ward can't imagine what Cillizza is dealing with ????
Playboy White House correspondent Brian Karem, who has received new-found fame after his exchange with White House deputy spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders at Tuesday's press briefing, said Ward is "absolutely right" and talked about the trial and tribulations of reporters who have been jailed and even killed.
"Our newspapers after Donald Trump's election, we've gotten threats from both the far left and the far right," Karem said. "They are emboldened, it is dangerous, and the fact of the matter is, it is insulting to the memory of the people who have given their lives for the cause for providing information to the public to then be told you are fake media, you do not matter, and what you're doing is false."
Karem went as far to predict "we are going to see a reporter face physical harm because" of Trump.
"And quite frankly, every one of us should stand up against that because it is undermining the First Amendment. It is dangerous, making it dangerous for reporters. You're absolutely right, there is going to come a time, and it's not going to be too far off I surmise when we're going to see a reporter is going to face physical harm because of this," he said.

CNN's Cuomo: This Whole Fake News Thing Needs To End, And It Needs To End Right Now

Wednesday on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” host Wolf Blitzer asked White House Correspondents’ Association president Jeff Mason if he has discussed the “potentially very dangerous” issue of President Donald Trump calling the media “enemies” of the American people with the White House communications team.
Blitzer said, “Hold on. I want to get Jeff Mason back in this conversation. You’re the president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, you’ve met with Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House team—have you raised the concern all of us in the news media have about the president calling us enemies of the American people? Because that is a very, very harsh statement and potentially very dangerous.”
Mason answered, “Well, that type of rhetoric is something that we have spoken about since he first said that, and many of you probably were at or watched the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, and I addressed that then as well. That is rhetoric that we reject and is just not something that I think is helpful to the public discourse and it’s not, again, it’s just not something that’s true.”

Many Americans know most of the media are enemies of the American people. One of the reasons Donald Trump is President.

One America News releases part two of their story on Project Veritas exposing CNN fake news, pursuing the "Russian" story for ratings, etc etc
From staging sensational news reports to releasing fake stories about President Trump and Russia, CNN’s reporting techniques are under fire.
Over the weekend the station retracted a fake news story about Russia prompting a policy change.
On Tuesday we brought you part one of the Project Veritas undercover report showing CNN producers pushing false stories.
Now we want to bring you part two.
We would like to thank its founder James O’keefe and the entire Project Veritas team for providing OANN with the undercover report.

TRUMP URGES PASSAGE OF HOUSE IMMIGRATION BILLS
quote:
But Thomas Homan, the acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said that cities that don't cooperate with his agents put the lives of the public and law enforcement officers at risk.
"If you enter this country illegally and violate the laws of this nation, you should not be comfortable..... you should be concerned that someone is looking for you. You should be concerned because you violated the laws of this country," he said, adding of the risk of separating families: "U.S. citizen families get separated every day when a parent or when a parent gets arrested for a criminal charge. So those here illegally, they put themselves in that position."
Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless.

This tells us that WH briefings are about entertainment, not journalism. BTW how about President Trump delivers the January State of the Union address by mail? He's already stood up the WH Correspondents and the Muslims (no Ramadan dinner; maybe Ramen, don't know about that).

Ridiculous, but even if true, so what. CNN, MSLSD, NBC, ABC, CBS created this environment, not the president. He's simply holding their feet to the fire for being criminally corrupt. They've been outed for what they truly are, people have accepted that reality, and they don't like it.

Since the media has zero interest in reporting the growing black on white crime/violence occurring throughout the country, forgive me if I have no sympathy or compassion for these media types taking a bit of heat. What goes around comes around.

The leftists (politicians, press, and entertainment) find great amusement from violence and depictions of violence against conservatives and Trump. Let them reap the whirlwind. I will not shed one fucking tear for them, though I fervently hope they have good cause to shed many.
Watching them cry about Trumps victory was one of the greatest evenings of my life.
God Bless and Protect our Beloved President, Donald John Trump.
