Whatever happened to that Jorge Ramos guy.

"MEESTAR TRUMP! JOO CANNOT DEPORT ELEVEN MILLIONS OF THE PEOPLES!!"

My wife says that two of her co-workers have taken leave from work, both of them requesting short-term leave, on the morning of Wednesday, November 9th, and by calling in to work on that day as "ill".

One of them is male. Notice I didn't say he was a "man". I said he's male. Fuckin' pathetic...

...and hilarious.

Because the media has decided they want to shut down Trump before he even gets started. It's STRAIGHT OUT of the Alinsky playbook; force your opponent to defend every little thing they do.


What the media still doesn't get is A. Trump doesn't give a rats ass what they think and B. he doesn't play their games

How does that work?

Simple. Donald Trump stopped Hillarty Clinton from her last chance to be POTUS.

Exactly. If all he did was start his inaugural address with "It has been a great honor to campaign, win and take this oath of office, but running this government is not really my thing. I saw that we had to stop The God Damned Commies and we did it. I now resign and ask the Chief Justice to swear in the Vice President in my place" he would have justly earned his place of honor and respect in the history of free men.

He won't do that, of course, but he has accomplished what was necessary at exactly the right time, at great personal risk, and cost.

It doesn't matter what the press says. It doesn't matter how much of a tantrum these children rioters throw,

Donald J. Trump has been elected POTUS in a fair election and according to the laws of the United States. Cry, scream, piss, moan, threaten all you like, but come January 20th, the meanest man in the world is your president, so suck it up, snowflakes. You aren't making any difference.

My local crazy-liberal newspaper, the Phila Inquirer had an article yesterday about how "many" gays are now rushing to get married before the Inauguration.


They must actually think that on 12 noon on 1-2-2017, president Trump is going to nullify same-sex marriage and begin rounding up gays to be hauled off to reeducation camps!

WTF is wrong with people!

You have realize the whole Democratic agenda is to demonize all of us conservatives that way. It is the number one, two and three rules in their playbook. You just have to take it with a grain of salt.
There are usually no facts ~ just demonize and hope to influence the minority voting block, non-informed and impressionable snowflakes.

And where is the outcry about Keith Ellison (D - Nation of Islam) likely becoming the DNC chairman?


KEITH ELLISON FOR DUMMIES

After he unexpectedly won the endorsement of the DFL nominating convention for Minnesota’s Fifth District congressional seat on May 6, 2006, Keith Ellison faced a serious problem. The problem was how to deal with his well-known involvement with the Nation of Islam. Had Ellison not managed to dispose of the problem, his candidacy would likely have been irreparably weakened in the competitive DFL primary field.

Ellison chose to deal with the problem by writing an audacious letter to the Jewish Community Relations Council on May 28, 2006. In the letter, Ellison staked his campaign on three assertions: That his involvement with the Nation of Islam was limited to a period of 18 months around the time of the Million Man March in 1995, that he was unaware of the Nation of Islam’s anti-Semitism and that he terminated his involvement with the Nation of Islam when he became aware of it.

Instead of undertaking any investigation of these assertions, the Minneapolis Star Tribune has reported the assertions and repeated them as facts ever since. Yet each of these assertions is demonstrably false. Their falsehood is easily established by newspaper accounts documenting Ellison’s activities, speeches and beliefs over the relevant period of time.

Moreover, Ellison’s long commitment to and advocacy of the Nation of Islam is reflected in the various aliases he used over a period of ten years: Keith Hakim, Keith X Ellison and Keith Ellison-Muhammad. The Star Tribune has not only failed to connect these aliases to Ellison’s involvement with the Nation of Islam, it has erroneously reported that Ellison used these aliases during his student days at the University of Minnesota Law School.

Ellison’s involvement with the Nation of Islam includes his support of “the truth” of Joanne Jackson’s condemnation of Jews in 1997 as “the most racist white people.” In his May 28 letter to the JCRC, Ellison went out of his way to state that, unlike others, he did not come to the defense of the statement that created the controversy that engulfed Joanne Jackson. Rather, according to Ellison, he only called for dialogue. This too is demonstrably false.

Ellison’s involvement with the Nation of Islam is not the most offensive of his public associations and commitments. That distinction must belong to Ellison’s work with Minneapolis gang leader and murderer Sharif Willis following the 1992 murder of Minneapolis Police Officer Jerry Haaf.

Ellison’s February 2000 speech on behalf of domestic terrorist Kathleen Soliah/Sara Jane Olson picked up this reprehensible aspect of Ellison’s career and united it with his missionary work on behalf of the Nation of Islam. In that speech Ellison called for the release of Soliah/Olson and spoke favorably of cop killers Mumia Abu-Jamal and Assata Shakur. The Star Tribune has never gotten around to reporting what Ellison said on that occasion either.

My article summarizing the most notable aspects of Keith Ellison’s public career — “Louis Farrakhan’s First Congressman” — was published in the Weekly Standard on September 30, 2006, in anticipation of Ellison’s election. As Power Line readers may have guessed, my preferred title for the article was “Who is Keith Ellison?”

Given the media’s disinclination to examine Ellison’s public record, or to get straight what little it has let come to the surface, we set out a Keith Ellison timeline and posted copies of some key articles as a companion to the Standard piece:

1987–Ellison enrolls in University of Minnesota Law School

1989–Ellison publishes the first of two articles in the University of Minnesota Daily under the alias “Keith Hakim.” In the first such article, Ellison speaks up for the Nation of Islam.

1990–Ellison participates in the sponsorship of the anti-Semitic speech by Kwame Ture given at the University of Minnesota Law School (“Zionism: Imperialism, White Supremacy or Both?”). Ellison rejects the appeal of Jewish law students to withdraw sponsorship of the lecture. Ellison graduates from University of Minnesota Law School.

1992–Ellison appears as speaker at demonstration against Minneapolis police with Vice Lords leader Sharif Willis following the murder of Officer Haaf by four Vice Lords gangsters in September.

1993–Ellison leads demonstration chanting “We don’t get no justice, you don’t get no peace” in support of Vice Lords defendant on trial for the murder of Officer Haaf. Ellison attends Gang Summit in Kansas City with Willis.

1995–Ellison supports Million Man March, appears at organizing rally with former Nation of Islam spokesman Khalid Muhammed at University of Minnesota. Ellison acts as local Nation of Islam leader in march at office of U.S. Attorney in Minneapolis protesting indictment of Qubilah Shabazz for conspiring to murder Louis Farrakhan. Ellison charges FBI with conspiring to murder Farrakhan. Ellison writes article under alias “Keith X Ellison” attacking Star Tribune for criticizing Louis Farrakhan. Here it is; click to enlarge:

1997–Ellison appears under alias “Keith Ellison-Muhammad” at Minnesota Initiative Against Racism hearing in support of Joanne Jackson. Ellison defends “the truth” of Jackson’s statement that “Jews are the most racist white people.”

1998–Ellison first runs for DFL endorsement for state representative. Ellison identifies himself as member of Nation of Islam in Insight News article on his candidacy. Ellison runs for endorsement under alias “Keith Ellison-Muhammad.” This is the Insight News article; click to enlarge:

2000–Ellison gives speech supporting Kathleen Soliah/Sara Jane Olson at National Lawyers Guild fundraiser. Demands Soliah/Olson’s release. Asks audience to recall time when “Qubilah Shabazz was prosecuted in retribution against Minister Farrakhan.” Speaks favorably of cop killers Mumia Abu-Jamal and Assata Shakur.

May 2006–Ellison writes letter to JCRC asserting involvement with Nation of Islam limited to 18 months supporting Million Man March.

August 2006–Ellison appears at unpublicizied fundraiser with CAIR executive director and Hamas supporter Nihad Awad among featured guests.

What are we to make of this? Take a look at Ellison’s May 28, 2006, letter to the Jewish Community Relations Council; it served as the keystone of his 2006 campaign for election to Congress. That letter to the contrary notwithstanding, the documents posted above nevertheless by themselves establish that 1) Ellison’s involvement with the Nation of Islam exceeded any 18-month period, 2) Ellison’s involvement with the Nation of Islam extended far beyond the promotion of the Million Man March, and 3) that Ellison himself, far from being ignorant of the Nation of Islam’s anti-Semitism, actively supported it.

The steadfast refusal of the local Minnesota media to examine Ellison’s public record in the course of his congressional campaign represented a striking case of nonfeasance, incompetence and willfully averted eyes that remains a story unto itself.

Actually, I tend to lean toward the view that it was not a fair election: MSM, DOJ, FBI, voter fraud were all weighing against him.

And he STILL won!! Wee haa!

Fight looms between 'fired up' Obama and Trump over regulatory rollback

quote:

A “fired up” President Obama vowed Monday that Donald Trump will find it’s not so “easy” to roll back his myriad regulatory policies, previewing a long fight ahead between his allies and majority Republicans taking control next year.

President-elect Trump has vowed to repeal and replace ObamaCare, while canceling “every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama.”

Trump also pledges to sharply increase oil and gas drilling on federal lands while opening up offshore drilling in the Atlantic Ocean and other areas where it is blocked. Further, he wants to repeal the Clean Power Plan, Obama's signature effort to limit carbon pollution from coal-fired power plants. The plan -- the linchpin of Obama's strategy to fight global warming -- is currently on hold awaiting a court ruling.

It is all but assured that Trump, together with the Republican-controlled Congress, will try anew next year to repeal or significantly change ObamaCare, formally known as the Affordable Care Act.

But in a conference call with Democrats Monday, Obama warned that unraveling his policies is “not as easy” as some say. Plus, he said even if the Trump administration rolls back 15-20 percent of his work, they’re still “80 percent” ahead.

The outgoing president did not specify what his post-presidency role will be, but hinted he’d be involved and said he’d be “working shoulder to shoulder” with Democrats for “many years.”

Obama said he’d be in a position to make the case for why policies like ObamaCare should be preserved and said, “I’m still fired up,” referencing his 2008 campaign catch phrase.

In an earlier White House press conference before he left the country for his final overseas trip as president, Obama specifically addressed Republican plans to upend ObamaCare.

“Now that Republicans are in charge, they got to take a look and say, let's see. We got 20 million people who have health insurance who didn't have it before,” he said. “Health care costs generally have gone up at a significantly slower rate since ObamaCare was passed than they did before, which has saved the federal Treasury hundreds of billions of dollars.”

Some Democrats, though, have acknowledged a need to at least change the system to address rapidly rising premiums and other issues.

Trump has indicated a willingness to keep certain elements of the law in place.

His potential picks for key positions, meanwhile, signal big changes ahead for environmental and energy policies.

Those under consideration for energy secretary include Harold Hamm, an Oklahoma oil tycoon and leading proponent of fracking, and North Dakota Rep. Kevin Cramer, an early Trump supporter from a major oil drilling state, according to transition planning documents obtained by The Associated Press.

Venture capitalist Robert Grady, who worked in President George H.W. Bush's administration, is listed as a contender to lead both the Energy and Interior departments.

It's unclear whether the list is exhaustive or has been reviewed by Trump. The Republican is in the early stages of setting up his administration.

A coalition of conservative states has challenged both the Clean Power Plan and a controversial water rule, which expanded the definition of waters protected under the Clean Water Act to smaller non-navigable waters and seasonal tributaries.

The administration says the rule would safeguard drinking water for 117 million people, but Republicans and some Democrats representing rural areas say the regulations are costly, confusing and amount to a government power grab. Federal courts have put the rules on hold as judges review lawsuits.

That's precious - he thinks he will continue to be relevant after January 20, 2017.

Man, if you're Obama, it's panic city right about now.

What a joyful convention this must have been.

Just days after the election, the nation’s professional political forecasters and persuaders — the pollsters, the ad creators, the campaign strategists — gathered in Denver for their annual convention .

It was supposed to be a celebration of big data and strategic wizardry for a multibillion-dollar industry that has spent nearly a century packaging political candidates.

Instead, the conference of the International Association of Political Consultants felt like a therapy session

“I need to make sure I state this very clearly so that nobody thinks that I feel otherwise: I got this really wrong,” Chris Anderson, a Democratic pollster who had predicted a Clinton win, said during a session before the gathering at the governor’s mansion. “We’re going to continue to learn from Donald Trump how to effectively message,” he said. “Because he can do it really well.”

The industry has since evolved into a sophisticated army of data analysts, message crafters and others whose firms turn billions of dollars given to candidates and their surrogates into services. Television advertisements. Email lists. Get-out-the-vote strategies.

But everything about this election seemed to throw into question the value of those tactics — and even of the consultants themselves. In the end, Mrs. Clinton’s battalion of advisers was defeated by a wild, seemingly unchoreographed candidate who, according to the most recent data, spent more money on shirts, hats, signs and similar items than on field consulting, voter lists and data.

I noticed something last night. The leftist boogeyman keeps getting a name change.

GWB era: neocons
Obama era: Tea Party
Trump era: Alt-right

Once people tune out the hysterics and wailing the leftist media comes up?with a fresh portrait of the right and a new scary name. It'd be comical if it weren't so tired and pathetic.

For the last 8 years, I've had to hear from Obamabots, "So when did Obama come take all your guns?" So for the next 4 to 8 years I'm gonna ask those same folks, "Where's Herr Trump's cattle cars?"

Obama is wetting his pants, his "legacy" just needs a final push into the waste bin.

And the nitwit still has no idea how DJT got the the WH, and will continue to make the same mistake as Hillary campaign.

Hey, moron, here is a clue. You are not fighting with DJT, and you are not insulting him.

You are fighting and insulting the greater majority of the US of A, and you will lose that fight, you will increase your embarrasing legacy.

It will inflate to accomidate your overblown ego.

I still hope for the day, you are found eating grass, like an ox, on the White House lawn.

I will hope.

Obama in Athens:

“ Last I checked, a majority agree with me on things ,” Obama said. “Sometimes people feel as just we want to try something to see if we can shake things up. That was a significant phenomenon.”

In September, Obama told voters that if they don’t show up to vote for the Democratic ticket, it would be an “insult” to his legacy.

*************************

insult delivered. delivered by hand in voting booths across the country

And where is the nitwit going to place his "presidential" library to store his "great" legacy? Other than just a simple outhouse, it ought to be in Chicago (I'm sure they will have him), where he started is "community activism". He can spend each morning replacing windows and filling in bullet holes from the night before.
