If Californians think the gas-tax was bad, they’ll’ bust a gut when they hear “…liberal activists…are gathering signatures to place a massive tax hike on the 2020 ballot.“
Looks like the initiative being proposed targets commercial properties at this point, but is there any doubt private property won’t be the next step in the politicians’ greed?
Just one more reason to vote (R) in the midterms, people.
Berkeley, Portland, New York, Washington…what do they have in common?
They’re all Liberal cities…experiencing riots by violent Left-wing extremists.
Can’t help but wonder how they remain Liberal cities.
FACT: Over a 12-hr period, Libyan terror groups attacked Americans in Benghazi, killed 4 Americans…but Obama slept, resting up for a next-day Vegas fundraiser. Military assets and drones in the region could’ve been deployed, if Obama ok’d it…but didn’t.
The media yawned.
Understand…the first person died an hour or two into the attacks. The last two died in the 11th hour of the attack. Finally, 40-some Americans were saved from a similar fate, 12 hrs after the attacks started, by civilian American security subcontractors.
There were pre-assault activities that indicated what was coming – roads being blocked off, armed groups assembling, etc. Arguably, at the onset, if even one F-16 had been deployed for a fly-over, it would have discouraged, slowed up, or warned off assailants.
A military drone with assault weaponry could have de-fused the situation, but only Barack Obama could’ve authorized such measures on foreign soil…yet he went to bed.
Stevens, Smith, Doherty, and Woods were killed because of his ineptitude.
How could a collective media yawn over such malfeasance by an American president?
Fast forward to the American media frenzy today, over:
…then ask yourself – REALLY?
Obama refused to deploy military because he was facing re-election, had claimed the War on Terror was no longer an issue, and didn’t want the optics of contrary fact.
If the media savaged Obama over 4 dead Americans, on foreign soil, the way they’re savaging President Trump now because of a Saudi whose fate (on foreign soil) is still unknown, the American electorate would’ve seen him for the cause of American dead…
…and voted accordingly – Mitt Romney would’ve been elected.
That aside, lack of proof on this guy Khashoggi’s fate notwithstanding…
…who honestly thinks an American president is responsible for FOREIGN citizens…
…on FOREIGN soil?
Only FakeNews can try to make such a claim.
Short argument regarding Democrat slams against the Republican plan: Lying doesn’t make it true – the GOP plan doesn’t take away protections for pre-existing conditions.
Of course, that won’t stop Democrats from lying…it’s what they do.
As this late September IBD article notes “…the attacks both exaggerate the problem and distort the Republican’s approach to health care reform. (But) Everyone else already had this protection. State and federal laws already mandated that large group plans couldn’t charge more or deny coverage for someone because of a pre-existing condition. States had similar laws in place for small group plans.”
(Bold, underline emphasis added)
The only consumers who may have been adversely affected are covered by a risk pool built into the GOP plan, but, OOPS…the Democrats forget to mention that little fact.
As the article notes “Republicans’ ObamaCare replacement plan included protections for those with pre-existing conditions. They just had a different — and we’d argue, far better and less costly — approach. Whatever anyone thinks of the Republican alternatives, it’s clear that ObamaCare’s approach is failing. Its rules and mandates led to double-digit price increases year after year, which have priced millions of families out of the insurance market altogether.” (emphasis added)
Bottom Line? Yes – the GOP plan did away w-O’care ‘p-e-c’ coverage, but ADDED AN ALTERNATIVE…which of course is conveniently ignored by deceitful politicians lying to get some votes. Families priced out of the insurance market altogether by Obamacare far exceeds the few affected (but, still covered) by alternative GOP plans.
Double-digit rate hikes make Obamacare the bad guy here…not the Republican plans.
But don’t let that get in the way of Democrat messaging.
Why this is being covered up is a mystery, but there’s no doubt Pakistani information tech aides serving 40+ House Democrats were proven to have unlawfully accessed and downloaded sensitive media, including House Intel committee data…yet aren’t charged.
The Daily Caller led the charge in reporting on this, and an American Thinker article by Frank Miniter sums up the unsettling non-interest of what should be a huge story…
…and a HUGE reason why Democrats shouldn’t be trusted on national security issues.
(And, we can’t help but ask…why the non-interest?)
On today’s show, Rush Limbaugh stated what BlueCollar posted early this morning.
We questioned FakeNews HYPOCRISY of their disingenuous ‘outrage’ over a Saudi who may have been ill-treated in Turkey, but none over American deaths in Benghazi.
Bottom Line? It’s to try once more to collar Pres. Trump with the blame.
Thin gruel…when compared to the very real blame Obama deserves in Benghazi.
They go crazy over an as-yet unverified act against a Saudi…
…but ‘crickets’ over an extremely verifiable failure that resulted in 4 American deaths.
Disgusting doesn’t quite capture the epic hypocrisy of the media.
And, seriously – when did we start believing anything Turkey has to say?
We’re not ignoring that Saudi Arabia violates human rights, but so does Turkey…
…especially as they’ve spurned secularism and gone to the radical side of Islam, and are fighting to wrest Middle East control away from…you guessed it…Saudi Arabia.
So, as the media screams about ‘evidence’…remember it’s produced by Turkey.
Though we believe the President should force it’s release, failing that, now that the Mueller report is ready, pre-election, there are two take-aways…
When contrary opinion or values are demonized, who can blame those being polled when they dodge the demonization by telling pollsters politically acceptable lies?
When contrary opinion or values are terrorized by the #BlackLivesMatter/Antifa mob, who can blame those being polled to answer dishonestly, to avoid being terrorized?
Behind the demonizing and the terrorizing is the FakeNews media that, by failing to hold such activities accountable, encourages the behavior which causes inaccurate polling.
So, just a few weeks before the midterms, FakeNews is already hyping the anticipated Mueller ‘report’ and, as expected, will use implication and innuendo to smear Trump, and – by extension, the Republican Party – to drive Democrat midterm vote turn-out.
Best way to short-circuit such obvious efforts is to order it released now.
After all…
…the American public has a right to know, in order to make educated choices.
While the President may not have direct authority to order such a release, he has what may be considered a HUGE motivator…declassification of FISA-abuse documents.
IF Rosenstein’s the political animal he’s shown himself to be, self-preservation is key.
Some pre-election thoughts…
In the interest of ‘What’s Best For Americans?’ it’s advisable to consider this: “U.S. Wins Title of World’s Most Competitive Economy for First Time in a Decade“
“It ranks first overall in the world in three of our twelve pillars; business dynamism, labour markets and financial system..second in innovation…and market size.”
“U.S. Job Boom Got Its JOLT From Trumponomics“
MORE JOBS than there are unemployed to fill them.
“Go Figure: Federal Revenues Hit All-Time Highs Under Trump Tax Cuts“
Treasury Dept.: an ALL-TIME HIGH of individual income taxes collected.
“Hispanic-Latino Unemployment Rate Hits Lowest Level on Record in June“
LOWEST LEVEL ON RECORD.
“Incomes Hit New Record High and Poverty Fell to Pre-Recession Low in 2017”
And household income continues it’s RECORD RISE.
WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WANTS THIS ECONOMY STOPPED?!?
Do voters really want “The Crisis of Minority Unemployment” (Feb, ’16) and “The American Middle Class Is Losing Ground” (Dec, ’15) headlines…again? Seriously?
SERIOUSLY? Do they understand “Democrats Champion Tax Increases, Slow Growth And Socialism“…or is their hatred so great they JUST DON’T CARE?
Choice is a wonderful thing – Trump/Republican haters should look around, see how well their family and neighbors are doing…then, make the right choice in November.
(Those who want to keep their ‘hate-Trump’ badges can lie about how they voted.)
