Syria; ISIS; Kurds; Turkey – what could possibly go…right…?

It’s a mess in the Middle East; our Congress avoids being put in a place to get blamed, instead sluffing their responsibilities off on Pres Trump…who actually makes a decision.

Cue outrage from the avoidance group in Congress.

Andy McCarthy does a masterful job summing up the situation: Turkey’s in NATO, ISIS (or an inevitable facsimile thereof) promises to be a continual problem, fighting along with Kurds against ISIS makes us a Syrian ally, Kurds are separatists…not a country.

This is what the President faces as an inherited problem from past administrations, who took up the problem when Congress failed to act on their Constitutional responsibility.

Staying or ramping up helps a Syrian regime we oppose, violates accords with a NATO ally, and allies America with a (U.S.) designated terrorist group – the Kurds.

According to Andrew McCarthy “The Kurds have been our allies against ISIS, but it is not for us that they have fought. They fight ISIS for themselves, with our help. They are seeking an autonomous zone and, ultimately, statehood…the Kurds we have backed, led by the YPG (People’s Protection Units), are the Syrian branch of the PKK (the Kurdistan Worker’s Party) in Turkey. The PKK is a militant separatist organization with Marxist-Leninist roots. Although…informed observers…contend that the PKK has “evolved,” it remains a formally designated foreign terrorist organization under U.S. law. While our government materially supports the PKK’s confederates, ordinary Americans have been prosecuted for materially supporting the PKK.” (emphasis added)

Political cowards in Congress chose ‘duck-&-cover’ long ago. There is NO right way to solve the problem peacefully; these foreign groups don’t know the meaning of the word.

Congress avoids criticism; the chattering class all wag fingers at the President…

…the only one who had the guts to make a choice.

Let’s leave Jesus out of this – what would YOU do?

“California passes same-day voter registration, rigging elections even bluer”

…or, if voters actually give some thought to where California’s heading…NOT bluer?

Consider the ugly daily news cycle…“California Typhus Outbreak Continues to Grow” …or… “‘Mystery surcharge’ and gas taxes boost California gasoline prices by about $1.26 per gallon” …or… “California’s huge, humiliating power outages expose the vulnerabilities of PG&E’s power grid” …and ask ‘are voters listening’?

One can only hope.

As the impeachment fever-swamp swirls, push-polls encourage Democrats to continue their ‘O-M-G, his Ukrainian call was over-the-top’ narrative to justify their actions.

But there’s one question you’ll NEVER see from those push-impeachment pollsters:

‘Is your answer based on having read that call transcript…or just on news reports?’

‘UnAmerican’ has now taken on a whole new meaning.

When did it become unacceptable to defend against personal attacks?

“Levin: Dems Are ‘Eviscerating Our System of Law’ for Trump Impeachment”

Remember…when we had a right to face an accuser? Nope…not Pres. Trump.

A right to cross-examine accusations against us? Nope…not Pres. Trump.

A right to call witnesses on our behalf? Nope…not Pres. Trump.

A right to due process? Nope…not Pres. Trump.

Is one half of the Nation willing to turn a blind eye on a blatant disregard to rule-of-law?

Do HONEST Americans support dishonest activities of these malevolent Democrats, leveling such lawless, unethical conduct against a duly-elected American President?

Just as disgusting is the coordinated efforts provided by FakeNews media, to support the unconstitutional activities of these duplicitous politicians for a self-serving purpose.

It would be a wise idea for the Justice Department to consider such media chicanery as nothing less than election chicanery, as an in-kind contribution to the Democrat Party.

Loathsome doesn’t begin to describe such behavior.

“The Lights Are Out in California, And That Was the Plan All Along”

Welcome to the People’s Republic of California, brought to you by…

…DEMOCRATS

Who cares about political leanings? If wrongdoing occurs…leanings don’t matter.

Navel-gazing over this latest gossip-monger…errr…‘whistleblower’ and their political bent is a distraction from real issues: hearsay and misreporting of an actual event.

Wake up to your new pre-elections world people – It’s the LIES, stupid.

We understand deranged focus of anti-Trump Left and politically motivated Democrats; we don’t understand the dystopic vision of never-Trump Republicans who fail to realize even if their ‘perfect’ Republican version were in office, they would suffer a similar fate.

DEMOCRATS.WANT.THEIR.POWER.BACK.

ANY Republican standing in the way of that goal is game.

Wake up, you never-Trump IDIOTS.

Once you let them override rule of law with ‘rule-of-Democrat’ it’s over…

…for ANY non-Democrat.

If it wasn’t so pathetically tragic, their farce would be gut-ripping laughable.

Leftie hoaxsters (yeah, we know…repetitive) are in a frenzy over a letter Pres Trump sent to Congress Democrats, declaring he will not cooperate with unlawful activities.

Cue inevitable Headline-Ranting: “White House Declares War on Impeachment Inquiry, Claiming Effort to Undo Trump’s Election” (NY Times) “Here’s Another Impeachable Offense: Trump’s War on the Constitution” (Mother Jones) “GOP, Trump look to smother impeachment inquiry” (The Hill) Not one headline is true.

THERE.IS.NO.IMPEACHMENT.INQUIRY. Refusing to cooperate while Democrats commit unlawful acts SUPPORTS the Constitution, by demanding Rule-of-Law.

Refusing to allow the proper voting that covers an impeachment inquiry, thus blocking House Republicans and the President from normal due-process actions, is unethical…

…not to mention Unconstitutional.

In a true ‘wag-the-dog’ redux, media and Democrats (yeah, we know…repetitive) are trying to paint their NON-inquiry rhetoric with a thin ‘yah, it’s an inquiry’ veneer coating.

But – by Constitutional and Congressional standards and tradition – it isn’t.

Can you spell ‘H-O-A-X’???

If anyone’s declared war on the Constitution, it’s the Democrat-media complex.

They violate Constitutional order, then declare their opponent/s ‘Unconstitutional’?

That’s the definition of gaslighting, folks.

“How Unreasoned Impeachment Dysfunction Is Trashing Democrats”

With this economy, they’re gonna have to turn that Lie Machine up full blast.

It’s already been proven that this is President Trump’s economy, not Obama’s:

“GDP growth decelerated throughout 2016. It went from 2.3% in Q2, to 1.9% in Q3 to 1.8% in Q4. “There was a sharp slowdown in business investment, caused by an interrelated weakening in emerging markets, a drop in the price of oil and other commodities, and a run-up in the value of the dollar,” the New York Times reported. Sentier Research, which tracks real household income on a monthly basis using census data, reports…real median family income didn’t budge from August 2015 to November 2016…the stock market was flat all year, as was the unemployment rate. Consumer and business confidence remained humdrum. What’s happened since Trump took office is the very definition of a turnaround. The stock market exploded as soon as the market had a chance to absorb the fact that pro-growth Trump had beaten Hillary Clinton. Confidence in the economy suddenly surged…remained at high levels ever since. GDP growth has been accelerating.” (bold, underline emphasis added)

And it’s obvious to any but the most anti-Trump deranged that Russia-Ukraine-Stormy-whatever isn’t doing them any good. They’ll have to come up with some better lies.

Especially when you consider this latest from Issues-&-Insights:

“…surging middle-class wages, with median incomes already up over $5,000 since Trump took office. Obama achieved only a $1,000 increase in eight years.” 

Yeah, yeah…you heard that right.

5 times the middle-class wage growth compared to Obama’s…in less than 3 years.

Not sure even 100% negative FakeNews coverage of Pres Trump can drown that out.

But, they’ll keep trying.

(Fortunately, solid thinkers at sites like Issues-&-Insights keep us reality-focused.)

UPDATE: O-M-G!! Corporate tax revenues are UP 12%?

But…wait: “Every single Democrat running for president has railed against the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, calling it a massive giveaway to corporations.”  (underline added)

Hmmm…

This isn’t just about the 2020 election.

Those who act craziest in the attacks against the President are reportedly those with the most to lose, ‘cuz (allegedly) they committed prosecutable crimes/misdemeanors.

The easiest way to defend Republican ideology is by showing how it defends the right to self-protection, the right to Life, and the right to demand our liberty be protected.

How hard is that to hold up against a Party that wants to take away guns, justifies killing a newborn, and selectively undermines rule-of-law and prosecution of equal justice?

(Yes, Martha, Democrats blocked an anti-infanticide bill this year.)

Those who bemoan their loss of ‘friends’ after admitting they voted Republican should ask themselves what kind of friend they had, who supports such anti-Liberty policies.

The problem isn’t that politics have become polarizing…

…their entire IDEOLOGY has become polarizing. They live in walled, well-armed high security enclaves, yet push open borders and gun control…for everyone else.

Hypocrisy’s one thing, but imagine being a Democrat…

…who argues against a death penalty, and, yet, defends killing a newborn baby.

Is that a friend worth keeping?

Open question to Democrats: is this an ideology worth supporting?
