Why would he want a Romney rather than a conservative? State Rep. Mike Kennedy of Alpine could have won that seat. It's the conservatives in the House (Jordan, Nunes) and Senate that have had his back, not the RINOs. "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 "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Trump Beats Democrats' Emoluments Lawsuit https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...appeals-court-tosses Trump's 'best week' has just gotten a little better, after the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit tossed out Congressional Democrats' third attempt to nail Trump after claiming he is in violation of the Constitution's Emoluments Clause. In a Friday decision, the court vacated a district court judge's ruling that the Democrats had standing to sue Trump for accepting foreign payments at his Washington DC hotel, according to law.com - adding that the court would not participate in a political debate. "Because we conclude that the Members lack standing, we reverse the district court and remand with instructions to dismiss their complaint, said Judges Karen LeCraft Henderson, Thomas Griffith and David Tatel in a per curiam opinion. They found that, after past U.S. Supreme Court rulings on individual legislators’ ability to sue, “only an institution can assert an institutional injury provided the injury is not ‘wholly abstract and widely dispersed.’” “Here, regardless of rigor, our conclusion is straightforward because the members—29 Senators and 186 members of the House of Representatives—do not constitute a majority of either body and are, therefore, powerless to approve or deny the President’s acceptance of foreign emoluments,” the opinion reads. -law.com "The Members can, and likely will, continue to use their weighty voices to make their case to the American people, their colleagues in the Congress and the president himself, all of whom are free to engage that argument as they see fit," the judges added. "But we will not—indeed we cannot—participate in this debate." As law.com notes, the ruling may finally signal the end of a lawsuit that has now stretched into its third year. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

https://www.powerlineblog.com/...n-one-data-point.php Gallup has some fascinating poll data on Americans’ views of their own financial well-being. The headline sums it up: “Record-High Optimism on Personal Finances in U.S.” Gallup finds that 59% say they are better off than they were a year ago, as opposed to only 20% who say they are worse off. Those are great numbers–interestingly, we are so divided that political affiliation makes a big difference even on a simple question about one’s own finances–but that isn’t the data point I mean. The most striking finding is this one: 74% say they expect to be better off a year from now than they are today, the highest such finding Gallup has ever recorded Sure, a lot can change between now and November. But with 74% of Americans looking forward to being more prosperous a year from now, it is hard to imagine a majority thinking that a radical change in the direction of socialism is a good idea. A huge majority of Americans, whatever they may think of Donald Trump, appear to be invested in the direction the country is moving. | |||

https://www.powerlineblog.com/...mps-sotu-address.php about the SOTU no previous address so cunningly adapted the ancient ritual of a formal speech to the visceral medium of television. A former TV star himself, Trump understands that people don’t just listen to what the president says. They also watch the reactions of the people in the room. He engineered the speech to force his opponents to react in potentially self-defeating ways. Some examples. Rather than give the usual conservative lip service to school choice, Trump illustrated the issue by introducing a young African American girl in the gallery and announcing that she was getting a scholarship to attend her preferred school. What would House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democrats do, applaud for the happy child and risk offending their public-school-teacher base or sit on their hands and look like a bunch of Scrooges? Rather than deliver the Republican boilerplate on abortion, Trump introduced a pro-life mom and her 2-year-old daughter, who was born barely halfway to term. Advances in extreme neonatology kept her alive. How would Democrats react to this cute little darling whose existence blurs the distinction between life in and out of the womb? Rather than poke the usual verbiage at the wing of the Democratic Party that embraces the label of “democratic socialism,” Trump introduced Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó, whose quest to unseat his country’s socialist government had the entire Congress on its bipartisan feet. Now Democrats are left to explain why ousting socialists is good policy for Venezuela while electing them — the democratic variety, anyway — is right for the United States. Viewers were left to wonder: Why wouldn’t Pelosi applaud money for historically black colleges and universities? What’s her beef with a serviceman who returns from deployment to hug his kids? Where’s her feeling for the brother of a man killed by an undocumented criminal? All of these visuals could be explained in policy terms, but as Ronald Reagan once confided to his diary, “If you’re explaining, you’re losing.” | |||

At least he didn't say "big fucking deal." The media would be outraged if Trump said that. If a Demokrat said it, not so much. https://www.huffpost.com/entry...deal-bidens_n_509927 | |||
