American Uprising -


“Everything is about to change”

(by Daniel Greenfield 11/9/2016)

This wasn’t an election. It was a revolution.

It’s midnight in America. The day before fifty million Americans got up and stood in front of the great iron wheel that had been grinding them down. They stood there even though the media told them it was useless. They took their stand even while all the chattering classes laughed and taunted them.

They were fathers who couldn’t feed their families anymore. They were mothers who couldn’t afford health care. They were workers whose jobs had been sold off to foreign countries. They were sons who didn’t see a future for themselves. They were daughters afraid of being murdered by the “unaccompanied minors” flooding into their towns. They took a deep breath and they stood.

They held up their hands and the great iron wheel stopped.

The Great Blue Wall crumbled. The impossible states fell one by one. Ohio. Wisconsin. Pennsylvania. Iowa. The white working class that had been overlooked and trampled on for so long got to its feet. It rose up against its oppressors and the rest of the nation, from coast to coast, rose up with it.

They fought back against their jobs being shipped overseas while their towns filled with migrants that got everything while they got nothing. They fought back against a system in which they could go to jail for a trifle while the elites could violate the law and still stroll through a presidential election. They fought back against being told that they had to watch what they say. They fought back against being held in contempt because they wanted to work for a living and take care of their families.

They fought and they won.

This wasn’t a vote. It was an uprising. Like the ordinary men chipping away at the Berlin Wall, they tore down an unnatural thing that had towered over them. And as they watched it fall, they marveled at how weak and fragile it had always been. And how much stronger they were than they had ever known.

Who were these people? They were leftovers and flyover country. They didn’t have bachelor degrees and had never set foot in a Starbucks. They were the white working class. They didn’t talk right or think right. They had the wrong ideas, the wrong clothes and the ridiculous idea that they still mattered.


They were wrong about everything. Illegal immigration? Everyone knew it was here to stay. Black Lives Matter? The new civil rights movement. Manufacturing? As dead as the dodo. Banning Muslims? What kind of bigot even thinks that way? Love wins. Marriage loses. The future belongs to the urban metrosexual and his dot com, not the guy who used to have a good job before it went to China or Mexico.


They couldn’t change anything. A thousand politicians and pundits had talked of getting them to adapt to the inevitable future. Instead they got in their pickup trucks and drove out to vote.


And they changed everything.


Barack Hussein Obama boasted that he had changed America. A billion regulations, a million immigrants, a hundred thousand lies and it was no longer your America. It was his.


He was JFK and FDR rolled into one. He told us that his version of history was right and inevitable.


And they voted and left him in the dust. They walked past him and they didn’t listen. He had come to campaign to where they still cling to their guns and their bibles. He came to plead for his legacy.


And America said, “No.”


Fifty millions Americans repudiated him. They repudiated the Obamas and the Clintons. They ignored the celebrities. They paid no attention to the media. They voted because they believed in the impossible. And their dedication made the impossible happen.


Americans were told that walls couldn’t be built and factories couldn’t be opened. That treaties couldn’t be unsigned and wars couldn’t be won. It was impossible to ban Muslim terrorists from coming to America or to deport the illegal aliens turning towns and cities into gangland territories.


It was all impossible. And fifty million Americans did the impossible. They turned the world upside down.


It’s midnight in America. CNN is weeping. MSNBC is wailing. ABC is having a tantrum. NBC damns it. It wasn’t supposed to happen. The same machine that crushed the American people for two straight terms, the mass of government, corporations and non-profits that ran the country, was set to win.


Instead the people stood in front of the machine. They blocked it with their bodies. They went to vote even though the polls told them it was useless. They mailed in their absentee ballots even while Hillary Clinton was planning her fireworks victory celebration. They looked at the empty factories and barren farms. They drove through the early cold. They waited in line. They came home to their children to tell them that they had done their best for their future. They bet on America. And they won.


They won improbably. And they won amazingly.


They were tired of Obama-Care. They were tired of unemployment. They were tired of being lied to. They were tired of watching their sons come back in coffins to protect some Muslim country. They were tired of being called racists and homophobes. They were tired of seeing their America disappear.


And they stood up and fought back. This was their last hope. Their last chance to be heard.


Watch this video. See ten ways John Oliver destroyed Donald Trump. Here’s three ways Samantha Bee broke the internet by taunting Trump supporters. These three minutes of Stephen Colbert talking about how stupid Trump is owns the internet. Watch Madonna curse out Trump supporters. Watch Katy Perry. Watch Miley Cyrus. Watch Robert Downey Jr. Watch Beyonce campaign with Hillary. Watch. Click.


Watch fifty million Americans take back their country.


The media had the election wrong all along. This wasn’t about personalities. It was about the impersonal. It was about fifty million people whose names no one except a server will ever know fighting back. It was about the homeless woman guarding Trump’s star. It was about the lost Democrats searching for someone to represent them in Ohio and Pennsylvania. It was about the union men who nodded along when the organizers told them how to vote, but who refused to sell out their futures.


No one will ever interview all those men and women. We will never see all their faces. But they are us and we are them. They came to the aid of a nation in peril. They did what real Americans have always done. They did the impossible.


America is a nation of impossibilities. We exist because our forefathers did not take no for an answer. Not from kings or tyrants. Not from the elites who told them that it couldn’t be done.


The day when we stop being able to pull off the impossible is the day that America will cease to exist.


Today is not that day. Today fifty million Americans did the impossible.


Midnight has passed. A new day has come. And everything is about to change.

SPOT FLIPPIN' ON.

I am a middle aged white male; never finished college; spent many years in the service of my country. Got SICK and TIRED of being called an '-ist". I am not an '-ist' I am an American and I want to take my country back.

To all the so called men who sit down to pee, take heed: America is Rising. I hope you piss on your socks.

Man when Josh Ernest is in the bread line I am gonna make toast...who can sleep at night lieing like he does.

JAllen said: I realize the Marines have a different culture about those things.

Master of understatement you are.

Trump needs to use Jill and Hillary's comments to show the need for voter ID, checking death certificates with voter registration, etc.

If we do not tighten up on the ability for Liberals to commit voter fraud now, this will likely be the last time we see a conservative President. Attack voter fraud now while the iron is hot.

Absolutely! Now is the time!

WikiLeaks exposes Democratic smear campaign against Jeff Sessions

http://www.al.com/opinion/inde...ml#incart_river_home

It's easy to spot a political hit job when you know what to look for. The telltale signs might include a steady trickle of negative information, an echo chamber focusing on the same story at the same time, or even a seemingly coordinated move from one "breaking" story to the next. Those of us who pay attention to politics have seen it whether we know it or not.

The most effective smear includes a smattering of facts, spotty allegations, and doctored quotes that fit a predetermined narrative. The "breaking" story usually comes from the biggest sympathetic media outlet that won't ask too many questions. The hook doesn't have to prove anything; it just needs to be salacious enough to gain traction. The narrative carries with other reporters and media types politically interested in affirming it. If successful, the story makes its way to our social media feeds and water cooler conversations.

This isn't anything new. Conducting opposition research and "defining" opponents is as much a part of American politics as shaking hands and kissing babies.

But we don't usually get to see a smear campaign's blueprint. WikiLeaks recently exposed the Democratic plan to attack Jeff Sessions, and most people missed it.

Several months ago, the Democratic political machine saw the Alabama Senator as a "Tier 1" vice presidential candidate and prepared the hit job. To their credit, they didn't take Sessions lightly.

Now that Sessions is Trump's nominee for Attorney General, Democrats have a pre-prepared document to damage him. It's an identity politics play that says as much about what Democrats think of Americans as how they feel towards Jeff Sessions.

According to the document, Latinos won't like Jeff Sessions because they value the Golden Rule more than U.S. immigration law. Democratic operatives assume African Americans care too much about food stamps and high levels of welfare spending to support him. Through the Democratic lens, America's youth should fear Jeff Sessions because he isn't a fan of marijuana, subsidized student loans, and increased government gun control. Democrats even planned to undermine Sessions with the middle class by appealing to the average American's love of government programs, corporate bailouts, and the Affordable Care Act.

The smears basically amount to stretching a few old accusations and emphasizing the fact that Jeff Sessions isn't a liberal.

The clearly partisan narrative uses cherry picked articles, allegations, and repetition to weave a story designed to affirm the biases of lazy reporters and leftist politicos--not exactly Sessions's biggest fans.

Confirmation hearings shouldn't be a cakewalk. Democrats will ask Sessions for his legal thoughts on president-elect Donald Trump's constitutionally suspect comments over the last year. He'll be questioned about enforcing the Supreme Court's recent decision in Obergefell v. Hodges in light of his perspectives on same-sex marriage. Many of his Senate colleagues will pepper him on his approach to issues like state marijuana and immigration policies essentially ignored by recent attorneys general.

That's all fair game, but don't expect to see a civil discussion hashing out differences in approaches to law enforcement.

Democrats might not be able to derail Sessions's confirmation, but they'll absolutely try damage public confidence in Sessions through the process. They won't deviate much from the attacks they've already prepared because Democrats appear more interested in political character assassination than an even handed vetting.

President Obama's attorneys general have used the office as a policy-making entity. Americans who share that activist perspective towards law enforcement won't be comforted by Sessions simply repeating his intention to uphold federal law.

That schism marks the greatest philosophical difference between the current Department of Justice and the direction Sessions would likely take it. Policy-making is the province of Congress. Our elected officials ought to do their job rather than having the nation's top attorney do it for them.

As we near Sessions's confirmation hearing, expect the pre-packaged Democratic headlines to increase. At least this time, you can follow along with "Jeff Sessions Top Hits" and won't have to wonder where they're coming from.

Cameron Smith is a regular columnist for AL.com and state programs director for the R Street Institute, a think tank in Washington, D.C. He worked for Senator Jeff Sessions on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Love it! You made my day with that.

some more smug assholes previously declaring Trump won't be president

Some are repeats but some I had not seen before

I especially enjoyed Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders, Geo Stephanopoulos & crew, and Bob Beckel.

Piers Morgan on Trump's tweets. Funny! And insightful.

Ivanka and Donald meet with Al Gore to discuss climate change????

WTF? Apparently Ivanka thinks climate change should be a signature issue?

Can't wait to see what this one is about.

I really wish Piers had never jumped into the gun control fray a few years ago--a subject he was simply very ignorant about (that's not meant to be a deliberate insult; it's just a fact)--cause he is obviously an otherwise astute observer and a competent "journalist" if I may call him that. In other words, I find that I've come to enjoy reading his articles, despite his past discrepancies.

A very good summary of Hillary's lies over the last few years. 4 minute youtube video, you will not be disappointed.

Piers can choke on a crumpet while queuing for the loo, for all I care.

Republican NC Governor concedes election to Dem challenger

You gotta understand the enemy before you can beat the enemy. Even when you are not talking about an enemy though, really to understand any subject it is good to hear from both sides if for no other reason than to understand what they are saying so that you have a good response ready. Al Gore is a fraud for sure but the climate change nutjobs see him as a god.

Trump is a smart guy but he does not know about every topic. I am sure he will meet with people on both sides of the debate. Whether climate change is real or not, or caused by man or not, is really not the point either. What is real is that climate change is a huge topic in the political world and Trump is being smart by taking the time to learn as much as he can about it since it will come up without a doubt.
