Washington Free Beacon headline: “Trump Condemns ‘Heinous Attack’ in Syria, Will Decide on U.S. Response Within 24 to 48 Hours“
We suggest giving Assad a taste of what he gave his own people.
With 7 months to the midterm election, Republican incumbents and hopefuls should be burnishing their Party’s positive effect on rising job rates for minority groups, every day.
They should remind everyone about the bonuses, pay raises, and increased benefits (not to mention new jobs) Americans have received as a result of the GOP tax-cuts.
EVERY.DAY.
Stop and think about this: the fool passing as a Republican claims that, by signaling “to the world that the United States would prematurely withdraw from Syria…Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad was emboldened by American inaction.”
How is that logical?
Common sense dictates that, if anything, Assad wouldn’t have done anything to risk the possibility of forcing President Trump to change his mind, which this attack could do.
One can only hope McCain will exit the political scene rapidly.
Lamenting the failure of Congress to pass legislation, look at the major disaster that is Obamacare, then consider that GRIDLOCK in Congress might just be a good thing.
Regardless of what lies were told, the 2007-2008 subprime crisis was specifically a result of…yep…legislation that enabled financial chicanery by forcing bad housing loans on lending institutions, and then failed to do anything to prevent its ultimate result.
“No man’s life, liberty or property are safe while the Legislature is in session.“
A 19th century newspaper editor and politician saw, then, what remains reality today.
So, if it’s a choice between bad legislation or gridlock…
Aahhh, well…she’s a Democrat – and black – so…give her a pass?
Bottom line?
It was dangerous to ride in a car with Ted Kennedy, and now appears it may be just as risky and disturbing for a Republican to ride in an elevator with Kamala Harris.
But, hey, no double standard here, folks – just move along now.
As the angst over justifying their ‘never-Trump’ credentials runs amok, the holier-than-thou in the GOP see Trump as an outlier, an aberration that will soon run its course.
These are the same ‘take-the-high-road’ conservatives who insist on high standards which continually handcuff Republicans when a bare-knuckle brawl is more in order.
‘The base’ (as Trump supporters are sneeringly referenced) see what high and mighty GOP’ers don’t…Republicans NEVER WIN when taking the high road vs Democrats.
Donald Trump didn’t ‘just’ beat Hillary for the presidency…he beat some very highly qualified Republicans to become that Party’s nominee, for just that reason…
…he was seen as a brawler, willing to get down in the mud to wrestle the pig.
And he IS wrestling the pig.
So you never-Trump’ers can whine all you want, but we guarantee you there’s a wide swath of America that is happy to have (and watch) Trump’s fight play out nationally.
And, yeah…there will be stains, and sweat, and blood…
…’cuz he’s a FIGHTER – not a high-brow.
Do any of you never-Trump’ers remember what it was like, to actually win a fight?
Are you really happier with your sideline role, ankle-biting?
Remember what Teddy R said…
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually IN THE ARENA, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Trump fought his way INTO the arena, to fight for America.
Grow up…or, get out of the way and just go sit on the porch.
Liberals must have a difficult time with the written word…or reading comprehension.
Here, again, is the plain fact – U.S. Constitution, Art.VI, sect. 3…
“…Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution…” (bold and underline emphasis added)
Even a moron should understand, if they read English…right?
And, according to the Constitution, the Congress makes immigration law…
…not state governors.
PERIOD.
FULL.STOP.
Great op-ed today in the Washington Times: “The costly tapestry of a travesty“
Pull paragraph…
“To open-minded observers, there are now serious questions, growing daily, that a group in the federal government not only violated its contract with the American people, but did so willfully and perhaps premeditatedly. There can be no higher justification for an independent examination of the federal government’s legal apparatus. And it can now only be achieved by an independent counsel.” (emphasis added)
IF the special counsel had any integrity, he would’ve truly followed the trail of collusion that has been exposed – that being the DNC, the Clinton campaign and FusionGPS.
But he hasn’t – which exposes his ‘collusion’ probe for the witch-hunt that it is.
J.T. Young’s op-ed cuts to the heart of the matter…
“…the questions that prompted Mr. Mueller’s investigation…have been eclipsed by the questions arising from it.” (bold and underline emphasis added)
He’s correct asserting that, once, America’s greatness was in our adherence to the rule of law, not the arbitrary rule of men…but the last two years prove that distinction void.
It’s tragic that an investigation, begun based on a web of lies, exposed real chicanery…
…but for nothing…because the rule-makers then simply disregard the law.
44 House Democrats hired Pakistani nationals to handle their IT requirements, but in so doing waived the background checks you would think should have been a top priority.
Did we mention they were Pakistani NATIONALS?
Some of these House Democrats were on information-sensitive committees that handle classified data, and we’ve learned those Pakistani aides illegally accessed that info.
Among those guilty of GROSS negligence is none other than Xavier Becerra, then a congressman, more recently now the attorney general for, you guessed it, California.
Why aren’t indictments flowing?
In a land where Republicans are guilty by innuendo…
…Democrats – guilty based on solid, provable evidence – walk free.
Okay, ‘Mr. Integrity’ – Show some integrity.
You have evidence of collusion between the DNC/Clinton campaign and a foreign agent (Brit Christopher Steele), working together to meddle with our national election…
…show your integrity, Mueller – indict them.
You have evidence of collusion between the DNC/Clinton campaign and a foreign agent (Brit Christopher Steele), working with Russians to interfere with our national election…
…show your integrity, Mueller – indict them.
You have no evidence of collusion against Pres. Trump or his campaign…
…show your integrity Mueller – exonerate them.
Your wide-ranging, all-encompassing probe has snared several Trump aides in some non-collusion issues irrelevant to a collusion investigation, but during the process it’s been revealed the DNC, Hillary, and her campaign DID collude with foreign agents…
…and if a collusion probe is necessary, then indict provable aspects of it – NOW.
It’s ‘put-up, or shut-down’ time…Mr. Integrity.
