We are the drain the swamp people

• The Left (the Democratic Party) Has Sought to Denigrate Police

THE  SCOTT COUNTY REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE SHOULD TAKE THE LEAD LOCALLY AND EMPHASIZE  AN IMPORTANT NATIONAL GOP ISSUE: THE DEFENSE OF POLICE, LAW AND ORDER HERE AND NATIONWIDE?

• Is reluctance because of the fear that the ‘local newspaper’, the QC Times , would find it an “unacceptable” position, or “politicization”, that it would anger the BLM?
• By the way, is that sort of concern, timidity, offending leftists, why the local party has been absent as regard general mask mandates as a government overreach.
• What about those local neighborhoods whose concern is not too much policing, but would like more?

And, what about the police officers, who put their lives on the line every time they answer a citizen’s call for help in a dire situation? And, finally, what about voters…do they want their police departments to have fewer resources and a lesser ability to respond when everything is on the line for the average person in the community?

Heather MacDonald illustrated the why  behind fear of “CANCEL” Her op ed last week in the Wall Street Journal  illustrated just how the left’s “cancel culture’ can intimidate what are mistakenly considered “thoughtful public opinion makers”…and full-throated advocates for “free speech”!

The ‘liberal’ news media, as the QC Times would proudly proclaim itself to be, today, tend to be anything but thoughtful, and certainly no friend of the ‘free speech’ concept.

MacDonald’s column in the Journal was an account of the handling of an important and enlightening research study by a couple of scholars of two typically liberal institutions of ‘higher learning’…Michigan State Univ. and the Univ. of Maryland.

MacDonald writes: “Psychologists Joseph Cesario of Michigan State and David Johnson of the University of Maryland, in a study published by The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer-reviewed journal, analyzed 917 fatal police shootings of civilians from 2015 to test whether the race of the officer or the civilian predicted fatal police shootings. 

Neither did. Once “race specific rates of violent crime” are taken into account, the authors found, there are no disparities among those fatally shot by the police. 

These findings accord with decades of research showing that civilian behavior is the greatest influence on police behavior.”

In September 2019, MacDonald cited the article’s finding in congressional testimony, and in an article in the ‘City Journal’.

In the latter article she noted that “two Princeton political scientists, Dean Knox and Jonathan Mummolo, had challenged the study design. Cesario and Johnson stood by their findings. They wrote, there is “no significant evidence of anti-black disparity in the likelihood of being fatally shot by the police.”

Local Republican organizations ought to back the badge.        V’PAC

Disturbing video shows teens beating pregnant mom, kicking toddler

The video is pretty grim. Go to the website above to watch, but know that what you’re seeing is violent, with really despicable acts  performed by alleged humans with obvious animal instincts and, little if any, human intelligence.

Juan Williams, as he did on the”Five” on Fox, in defending the beating of police officers at a “demonstration” in Brooklyn, may ask us to “consider the larger context”.  Which means…nothing!

Maybe the “larger context” is that that poor “youth” drop-kicking a toddler in the head (yes, that’s shown in the video) is a “descendant of slaves”…or, perhaps his is a ‘single mother  and he is starved for male “guidance”. Or, maybe, his family’s government-provided welfare benefits did not come through this week and he is, thus, “hungry”. (AOC can explain that one for you.)

And, when you’re hungry, your home doesn’t have a father, and your great, great, great, great, grandfather was a slave…well, then it’s okay to kick a toddler in the head occasionally.

Right, Juan?     dlh

Disturbing video shows teens beating pregnant mom, kicking toddler

A group of teens pummeled a pregnant Illinois mom — and even drop-kicked her helpless tot — during a caught-on-video brawl, according to footage and reports.
The disturbing confrontation circulating on Twittershowed two young women attacking the woman as she stood with her young daughter outside a home Friday in the village of Brooklyn.

Two of the girls are seen in the footage attacking the woman, pulling her hair and pushing her to the ground.

A third girl filmed the attack on the mom, who is pregnant, The Sun reported.
As the group clobbered the mom, a teen boy suddenly ran over and kicked the toddler in the head, the report said.

He then proceeded to stomp on the mother’s head, as she struggled on the ground.
The mom of the teen boy defended him on her Facebook, claiming the tot kick was an “accident,” the Mirror reported.

“He didn’t try 2 kick that baby he tried 2 jump over the baby on to her and made a mistake…as y’all can see the baby ran from under the girl fighting while he was coming down,” said the mom, who was not identified in the report.

“My kid is not that type 2 kick a baby…accident [sic] happen.”

Brooklyn police said they responded to a “disturbance” involving both adults and minors Friday at the Thomas Terrance Apartments.

They were able to speak to a female victim, who had suffered a minor head injury and was able to identify her assailants.

The accused attackers’ names have not been released pending charges.
Police said they are actively investigating and the case will be referred to the St. Clair County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Ed note: Review the video for yourself and decide if the toddler was stomped or kicked  purposely, it appears so to us. Perhaps Juan W would advise that that teen needs to be counseled, perhaps admonished, in a respectful way of course,  to be more careful in communicating historic displeasure?  —  to toddlers and their mothers who are down and being beaten by others.   R Mall

Remember the good old days – virus containment protocols for even more serious virus out breaks — no call for masks everywhere

Here is a forward from KK:

We sent a message to the Governor using the online form at this link:

https://iqconnect.lmhostediq.com/iqextranet/EForm.aspx?__cid=FSL_IA_GOV&__fid=100007

Our message was as follows, a position which we will elaborate on in coming posts.

Please oppose any state mandate for the general public to wear masks or to “social distance” or any provision that would allow localities to impose such mandates. It stands to reason, backed by medical studies, that asymptomatic people are very unlikely to transmit the “Covid 19” virus.

But the mask mandates and distancing impose on everyone, using the premise of Covid 19, but, in the case of mask mandates, possibly aggravating conditions apart from Covid,(normal healthful oxygen concentration for one) and perhaps other conditions that are as likely as asymptomatic people being virulent transmitters.

If you are not coughing, sputtering, sneezing, you do not need to cover your mouth and nose (everywhere in public). The same precautions used for other recent, more deadly corona viruses are appropriate but did not include mandatory mask wearing by the general public (see pictograph above).

A common practice, the constant adjusting of a mask which is a virus repository, instead of disposing of such a repository properly after it’s one-time use as a sputum or sneeze containment device, is not done. Yet the proponents of mandatory masks in public where distancing is not available (passing by on a sidewalk?) invite spreading of viruses of all sorts with the touching of the masks and subsequent transference.

The CDC felt sneezing into a tissue and disposing of it or coughing into a sleeve was appropriate as a precaution against the spread of more deadly viruses for which there is no effective vaccine or quick cure either, yet mask proponents want you to wear that tissue, which we were admonished to dispose of promptly, or that disease ridden sleeve (their assumption) on one’s face at length. That does not make sense nor is it practical to carry a change of masks for multiple occasions a day.

A completely misleading headline, and story, that seeks, once more, to Make Trump Look “silly’;

Another example of low level bureaucrats, exposed for the first time to the heady atmosphere of day-to-day presidential business, and handle it like pre-teen children…

Trump wanted to SELL Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria claims his ex-HHS Secretary – and says she was stunned by president’s response to crisis which claimed almost 3,000 lives in US territory 

– Elaine Duke was “Acting” as “Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary” for one summer in 2017 while John Kelly was Transiitioning to the  job of White House  Chief of Staff

– She Did Not, in Fact , Say that Trump “Wanted to Sell Puerto Rico”!

– In what in other Administrations would be considered a President’s expression of thoughts and ideas with a trusted staffer; and thus an ‘off the record’ exchange to solicit reactions and other considerations, Ms. Duke apparently thought Trump’s comments were examples of his “erratic behavior” and that she would exhibit her importance and stature by sharing them with a media source.

– As this story eventually notes, Duke’s “so-called “revelation” was not that Trump Wanted To sell Puerto Rico”! “He asked”, she said, “CAN we outsource the electricity?  CAN we ‘sell the island’?…or, ‘Divest of that asset’? And, SHE ADDED, “Trump Never Seriously Discussed Selling Puerto Rico After  That Comment”.  “The president’s initial ideas were more of as a businessman, you know,'” she recalled.

– Such childish behavior, to share confidential conversations with the media to enhance one’s public persona and at the same time denigrate an elected president, seems to be commonplace in Donald Trump’s administration. As the N Y Times Reported: “The former acting secretary of homeland security joins a growing list of former senior officials disgruntled by Trump’s erratic nature when handling his presidency.” 

– It is another story about one of the government bureaucrats who served briefly in the Trump administration. 
—————————————————
This is the story from the Daily Mail as it appeared under the sensational headline shown above:    dlh

• The revelation was made by Elaine Duke, who took over the role during John F. Kelly’s transition to White House Chief of Staff in 2017
• ‘The president’s initial ideas were more of as a businessman, you know,’ she recalled
• Duke added: ‘Can we outsource the electricity? Can we sell the island? You know, or divest of that asset?’
• The lifelong Republican did add that Trump never seriously discussed selling Puerto Rico after that comment
• As Hurricane Maria made its way toward Puerto Rico, Duke argued for emergency declaration before it made landfall

• Mulvaney denied that he made the statements

By MATTHEW WRIGHT FOR DAILYMAIL.COM   12 July 2020

Elaine Duke, former secretary of homeland security during the summer of 2017, said President Donald Trump was interested in ‘divesting’ or ‘selling’ Puerto Rico as it struggled during Hurricane Maria.

Duke, who had been with the Departments of Homeland Security and Defense for 30 years, filled the role during John F. Kelly’s transition to White House Chief of Staff in 2017.

She served in the role for four months before Kirstjen Nielsen was confirmed as Mr. Kelly’s permanent successor.

The former acting secretary of homeland security joins a growing list of former senior officials disgruntled by Trump’s erratic nature when handling his presidency, the New York Times reports. `

‘The president’s initial ideas were more of as a businessman, you know,’ she recalled of Trump’s comments regarding Puerto Rico. ‘Can we outsource the electricity? Can we sell the island? You know, or divest of that asset?’

The former acting secretary of homeland security joins a growing list of former senior officials disgruntled by Trump’s erratic nature when handling his presidency, the New York Times reports.

Duke was especially taken aback when the president made the suggestion to sell the island.
‘The president’s initial ideas were more of as a businessman, you know,’ she recalled. ‘Can we outsource the electricity? Can we sell the island? You know, or divest of that asset?’
The lifelong Republican did add that Trump never seriously discussed selling Puerto Rico after that comment.

Duke served in the administration as Hurricane Maria struck but also as the Trump administration imposed a travel ban on mostly Muslim countries and ended DACA.
While Duke was in favor of some of the president’s measures to tighten immigration security, she expressed disappointment that Trump’s message went from ‘America First’ to ‘America Only.’

Duke fondly remembers passing out water to homeless people in the city of Ponce, Puerto Rico, following the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. But she was not thrilled by sentiments expressed by Trump and his aides.

As Hurricane Maria made its way toward Puerto Rico, Duke argued for an emergency declaration before it made landfall. But she said Mick Mulvaney, then the budget director, pushed back at the idea.

‘Quit being so emotional, Elaine, it’s not about the people, it’s about the money,’ she said Mulvaney told her.

Mulvaney denied making the remarks.

‘I never made such a remark,’ he told the Times. ‘My experience with the acting director was that she rarely got anything right at D.H.S. At least she’s consistent.’

While she was happy the president would later express sympathy for Puerto Rico, she grew frustrated when Trump engaged in back and forth with local politicians from the island on Twitter.

‘My thought process for both sides is all the negative energy is a distraction,’ she said.
Duke felt that she was often outside the core group of White House advisers.
‘There is a singular view that strength is mean,’ she said, ‘that any kind of ability to collaborate, or not be angry is a weakness.’

The former senior official is currently unclear on whether she plans on voting for Trump again.

‘That’s a really hard question,’ she said. ‘But given the choices, I don’t know yet.’
It is estimated 2,975 people died in the storm that left the island without fresh, running water and no electricity in the longest power outage in U.S. history. However, controversy surround official tolls of the lives lost during the hurricane.

• Rumors are that Gorsuch is looking at the text of the “Manhattan Transfer” agreement
• Even goofier is that somehow Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan are now textualists ala Gorsuch
• Of course they are not, they just agreed on a result
• So either speeding infractions must now be made a federal offense or the 1/32nd + are immune
• Hopefully the tribes themselves will produce more sense than Gorsuch et al offered

“In case you missed it, the Supreme Court on Thursday established an Indian reservation on three million acres of land in eastern Oklahoma. Wild. The 5-4 decision in McGirt v. Oklahoma could significantly affect Sooners, and it is also worth noting because it shows how Justice Neil Gorsuch’s textualist jurisprudence is careening in some odd directions.”

Is Trump Looking In All the Wrong Places for Conservative Justices?

Gorsuch sure getting dressier

It Appears the President Has Gone to ‘Kookville’ to find nominees for the Supreme Court

It seems to us, Justice Gorsuch, siding with all four liberals on the Court, has handed a large part of Oklahoma over to the “Creek Indian Nation” (When they start collecting real estate taxes from the people of Tulsa, the Creeks are going to be ‘rolling in Wampum’!)

The Wall Street Journal reported in an editorial that a man convicted in 1997 by the state of Oklahoma for rape and sodomy of his 4 year old granddaughter-in-law appealed his conviction. Jimmy McGirt claimed that he ‘committed the crime on land Congress reserved as a permanent home for the Creek Nation’. And, as a member of the Seminole Nation he therefore claimed that “any Indian who commits certain crimes within the ‘Indian country’ must be tried in federal courts.”

Since Congress never enacted a law explicitly reneging on the treaty, he said the land belongs to the Creeks. Justice Gorsuch and the four liberals agreed.

The Journal writes, “In case you missed it, the Supreme Court on Thursday established an Indian reservation on three million acres of land in eastern Oklahoma. Wild. The 5-4 decision in McGirt v. Oklahoma could significantly affect Sooners, and it is also worth noting because it shows how Justice Neil Gorsuch’s textualist jurisprudence is careening in some odd directions.”

Writing in the dissent, Chief Justice Roberts noted that, “In the century before the case, the Creek Nation never contended in court that a reservation existed on the sprawling land.” Yet now they and other tribes by virtue of the Court’s reasoning may hold title to the entire eastern half of Oklahoma including the city of Tulsa—home to 1.8 million people.”
Justice Gorsuch swept aside that point and other precedents and reliance interests because “Congress has never expressly written a single law that disestablished the reservation.”

“Mustering the broad social consensus required to pass new legislation is a deliberately hard business under our Constitution,” Justice Gorsuch writes for the majority. “Faced with this daunting task, Congress sometimes might wish an inconvenient reservation would simply disappear . . . But wishes don’t make for laws, and saving the political branches the embarrassment of disestablishing a reservation is not one of our constitutionally assigned prerogatives.”

According to the Journal, ” This sounds a lot like his misapplication of textualism in his Bostock opinion redefining biological “sex” in the 1964 Civil Rights Act to encompass gender identity and sexual orientation. Textualism looks like a tool to get the judgment he wants.”

Though we’ve not been confirmed to the High Court, we’d be inclined to agree.
Justice Gorsuch is starting to look like another court mistake by a Republican president.
Oh well, that’s become a standard.          dlh

House Democrats promise investigations, legislation after Trump commutes Roger Stone

Democrats are promising an “aggressive investigation” into the commutation.

House Democrats reacted furiously to President Trump’s Friday move to commute the prison sentence of political operative Roger Stone — demanding an investigation and even legislation to stop similar commutations happening again. (Story continued below following:

THE HYPOCRISY IS BEYOND STUNNING;THIS ALONE SHOULD MOTIVATE AMERICAN VOTERS TO RID CONGRESS OF ALL DEMOCRATS…AND A FEW REPUBLICANS OF MITT ROMNEY’S ILK; IT’S THAT BAD!

* Trump is serving his first term in office. Pardon count last updated on July 11, 2019.

(Note: In the links the distinction between ‘pardons’ and ‘commutations’ is spelled out. i.e. Arpaio was a ‘pardon’, Stone is a ‘commutation’)    dlh

From the far left:
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/07/trump-roger-stone-pardon-commutation/

And here’s Politifact, twisting itself into a pretzel to “prove” how much more legally and honestly Obama used the presidential pardon and commutation powers:

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/feb/24/facebook-posts/misleading-based-numbers-say-obama-and-not-trump-a/

But how will most Americans even learn of the absurdity of the Democrats’ posturing? With the exception of Fox News, the facts of this story are not presented.

And possibly more sadly is that Bill Barr and John Durham are content to delay the facts of the Democratic Party’s and Obama administration’s truly horrifying behavior, until AFTER the Nov. election !

The Barr/Durham action, rather ‘inaction’, seems to have only one plausible explanation…they are of the Deep State!
————–
Remember Marc Rich?

From the N Y Post, Jan.2016: Fifteen years ago this month, on Jan. 20, 2001, his last day in office, Bill Clinton issued a pardon for international fugitive Marc Rich. It would become perhaps the most condemned official act of Clinton’s political career. A New York Times editorial called it “a shocking abuse of presidential power.” The usually Clinton-friendly New Republic noted it “is often mentioned as Exhibit A of Clintonian sliminess.”

Congressman Barney Frank added, “It was a real betrayal by Bill Clinton of all who had been strongly supportive of him to do something this unjustified. It was contemptuous.” Marc Rich was wanted for a list of charges going back decades. He had traded illegally with America’s enemies including Ayatollah Khomeini’s Iran, where he bought about $200 million worth of oil while revolutionaries allied with Khomeini held 53 American hostages in 1979.

Rich made a large part of his wealth, approximately $2 billion between 1979 and 1994, selling oil to the apartheid regime in South Africa when it faced a UN embargo. He did deals with Khadafy’s Libya, Milosevic’s Yugoslavia, Kim Il Sung’s North Korea, Communist dictatorships in Cuba and the Soviet Union itself. Little surprise that he was on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List.

Facing prosecution by Rudy Giuliani in 1983, Rich fled to Switzerland and lived in exile.
——-
And then, there’s Obama’s clemency for a convicted terrorist, Lopez Rivera and “Chelsea” Manning (Politifact, as usual, tried to make these Obama actions look right and noble):

Manning and Lopez Rivera were granted commutations (as Trump’s was for Roger Stone), or shortened sentences.

Manning was an Army intelligence analyst convicted of leaking American military and diplomatic information through Wikileaks in 2010. Manning’s 35-year sentence was the longest ever imposed in the United States for a leak conviction, but it was cut short at seven years when Obama commuted, or shortened, her sentence.

A transgender woman in a men’s military prison, Manning attempted suicide twice.

Lopez Rivera helped lead the Armed Forces of National Liberation, a Puerto Rican nationalist movement. The group’s most famous bombing, in 1975, resulted in four deaths, although no one was charged with carrying it out. He received a 55-year sentence for seditious conspiracy, attempted robbery, explosives and vehicle theft that was extended 15 years after conspiracy to escape.

Lopez Rivera was the last remaining member of the Armed Forces of National Liberation still in prison. In 1999, he rejected President Bill Clinton’s conditional clemency offer (he refused to express ‘remorse’; but that later was apparently OK with Obama). Obama shortened his sentence to 36 years.
——–
But Nancy and the Democrats Are Wetting Their Pants over How Terribly Trump Has Abused His Powers….

Democrats are promising an “aggressive investigation” into the commutation.

“President Trump’s decision to commute the sentence of top campaign advisor Roger Stone, who could directly implicate him in criminal misconduct, is an act of staggering corruption,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a statement on Saturday.She went on to promise that Congress would “take action” to prevent future such commutations: “Legislation is needed to ensure that no President can pardon or commute the sentence of an individual who is engaged in a cover-up campaign to shield that President from criminal prosecution.”

The White House announced Friday that Trump has signed an Executive Grant of Clemency for the colorful political operative, who was sentenced to more than three years in prison after he was convicted last year on seven counts of obstruction, witness tampering and making false statements to Congress in relation to FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

Stone, who has appealed the conviction and denies wrongdoing, was due to report to prison on July 14 to serve 40 months. But the White House said the president had commuted the sentence “in light of the egregious facts and circumstances surrounding his unfair prosecution, arrest, and trial.”

“Roger Stone is a victim of the Russia Hoax that the Left and its allies in the media perpetuated for years in an attempt to undermine the Trump Presidency,” White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement Friday night. “There was never any collusion between the Trump Campaign, or the Trump Administration, with Russia. Such collusion was never anything other than a fantasy of partisans unable to accept the result of the 2016 election.”

The White House also cited medical risk as a reason for the commutation, given Stone’s age and the coronavirus pandemic.

This Susan Stamper Brown article at Townhall is a classic for this political season. Many other articles hosted by the conservative outlets at our recommended  link sites are also compelling expositions of what this country is going through and what is at stake.  It is impossible to pick the best but this is certainly one of .  The title doesn’t quite reach its import perhaps unless it is interpreted to reflect the sucking chest wound to freedom and prosperity that is the Democrat Party.  The battle is no longer well-meaning rivalry over degrees of government or “best policy to the same goal” (It actually never was). Set forth here for your critique.  Many more informative and inspiring articles at Townhall.

Why It Sucks to be a Democrat in 2020 

No one should feel sorry for the Democratic Party because they are reaping what they’ve sown.

From elected officials like Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) calling for the dismantling of America’s “oppressive” economic and political systems — to the violent third world-like cities they run — the Democratic Party is in a death spiral of its own making.

We should be thankful.

Democrats have had plenty of time to get it right. The Democratic Party is the oldest voter-based political party globally and the longest existing one in the United States. You’d think wisdom would come with time.

Instead, look at them. All you see is negativity. They think America is evil because they filter everything through the prism of lies, hate, doom and despair. There once was a difference between Marxists and Democrats. No longer. That’s what they get for sleeping with the enemy.

Now they hate America the same way tyrannical governments do.

They say America is evil. Tell that to the desperate protesters in Hong Kong. (They have a window to America’s future if Democrats gain control.) Leftists ignore that Hong Kong protesters are not demanding the regime gets woke; they want freedom. They aren’t waving BLM and rainbow flags; they’re waving the American flag. Too bad we can’t trade out five leftists for every Hong Kong protester.

Democrats destroy everything they touch.

Consider their accomplishments: They banned school prayer, legalized abortion and support infanticide. They’ve secularized society, replaced God with government and personal charity with social justice. They’ve substituted religion for reason, blurred the lines between males and females and destroyed the nuclear family. They’ve lorded over the destruction of America’s youth, brainwashing kids to the point they hate America, their parents and themselves.

Look at their cities: Democrats’ cities burn as the stench of human feces fills the air. During the pandemic, pot shops thrive while businesses and churches stay closed. Lawlessness prevails as mobs mete out a perverted form of justice where good people get punished and criminals get rewarded. Black-on-black murders rise. Babies get shot without a whisper, while anarchists decimate whole city blocks because of the murder of one man.

Their world is dark, dangerous and violent. They scream about the very things their policies created. Things like racism, victimization, oppression, injustice and discrimination–as if yelling about them somehow deflects blame.

They can’t help themselves, something Dr. Lyle H. Rossiter, Jr. described in his book, “The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness.”

Rossiter says a leftist’s mind sees the world through the prism of “pity, sorrow, neediness, misfortune, poverty, suspicion, mistrust, anger, exploitation, discrimination, victimization, alienation and injustice.” They view people as “poor, weak, sick, wronged, cheated, oppressed, disenfranchised and exploited.”

Forget personal responsibility. They blame everything on capitalism, global warming, white people, police officers, Christians, America’s founders, guns and conservatives, to name a few. And Trump. Trump is to blame for everything under the sun.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama is the poster child for the “Hate America” crowd. During her last Christmas in the White House, Michelle said she was feeling hopeless. Hopeless, after eight years and all the extraordinary opportunities she had as America’s first lady. Undoubtedly, all the designer gown-wearing, Hollywood hobnobbing, $100-per-serving wagyu steak-indulging and taxpayer-funded globetrotting didn’t fix the hopelessness which ailed her.

It goes to show you that leftism is like a disease that won’t be satisfied until it devours all of you. It’s hard to be hope-filled when you’re eaten up with bitterness and resentment over “evil” America.

During an interview, Michelle told Oprah Winfrey, “We are feeling what not having hope feels like”—although her husband, Mr. Hope-and-Change himself, had eight years to propagate hope had he not been so preoccupied with change.

With “hope” like that, no wonder Americans voted for change.

Democrats will never be happy until everyone feels as miserable as they do—and they won’t rest until you take a knee and hate America too.

Until the Chinese coronavirus pandemic hit, America was on the rise and returning to its former greatness –despite Democrats’ Russia conspiracy theories, failed impeachment schemes and attempts to overthrow the 2016 election.

Nonetheless, those of us who voted for Trump in 2016 still believe.

We believe in God…loving our families…caring for the weak…protecting the unborn. We believe in the U.S. Constitution…holding dear to truth…clinging to our guns…embracing our freedoms. We believe in law and order… backing the blue…loving our military. We believe in equal rights and equal opportunity …embracing personal responsibility…encouraging hard work.

And despite current circumstances, we still believe this extraordinarily exceptional country is the world’s last great hope. We believe America’s best days are before us. And more than ever, we believe leftism must be defeated.

If that, my friends, is Democrats’ definition of oppression and hopelessness, it sucks to be them.

The victims (all of us) of the political persecution of Trump based on lies, intended as a coup or to spoil reelection prospects, deserve timely resolve or the plotters may achieve their goal. The coup is ongoing until its illegality is exposed

In May, (of 2019) U.S. attorney general William Barr selected Durham, a longtime prosecutor with a résumé so sterling it nearly glows, to investigate the origins of the special counsel’s probe…

WE DIDN’T READ THE FINE PRINT…we just bought the usual ‘swamp line’:

REPORT: Durham Under Pressure to Wrap Up Spygate Investigation, Could ‘Punt it to After the Election’

“John Durham, the US Attorney from Connecticut appointed to investigate the origins of Spygate, is reportedly under pressure to wrap up his probe by the end of summer.” (Fox News)

“However, according to two sources who spoke to Fox News, Durham could wait to initiate prosecutions or reveal his findings until after the 2020 presidential election..!!!

“The source also told Fox News that Durham “does not want this to be viewed political,” and the closer it gets to November, Durham could “punt it to after the election.”

We just bought the usual ‘Swamp Line”…Let’s see now:

We went back over stories reported at the time Barr named Durham to do this all important (to the future of the USA) investigation. The “book” on Durham, as it always is when there’s a Trump appointment that “Republicans” and Democrats are ‘happy with’ is “sterling”.

We shoulda seen this coming. Some ‘highlights’:

– (Durham)…enjoys a ‘bipartisan reputation’ and successful track record in investigating high-profile cases including Whitey Bulger and CIA abuse of terrorism suspects. (Well, of course!)

– Durham became a Justice Department lawyer in 1982 and has conducted special investigations for both the Republican and Democratic Parties (BOTH!..how much fairer and ‘bi-partisan’ does it get??)

– Former Attorney General Janet Reno commissioned Durham to investigate the FBI’s relationship with informant and Boston mobster Whitey Bulger in 1999

– …(Durham) …further examined the CIA’s handling of detainees at the request of former Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. under the Obama administration in 2009, according to The NYT.

– President Donald Trump nominated Durham in 2017 to be Connecticut’s U.S. attorney. Durham received bipartisan support and the U.S. Senate unanimously confirmed him in February 2018 (and what has been Trump’s experience with his nominees that have received Democrat, especially ‘unanimous’, support?)

–  “John Durham has earned immense respect as a no-nonsense, fierce, and fair prosecutor,” Democratic Connecticut Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy said when they recommended him to Trump…(If you know of two more partisan Democratic senators in DC, let us know)!!

– “Colleagues say Durham is thorough and cautious in deciding whether a case deserves to be prosecuted,” a TIME Magazine article noted of Durham in 2009. “But once he fixes on a target, the veteran lawyer usually catches his prey.” (Oooh! Look out Democrats!)

– “Other than an overwhelming commitment to the cause of justice, the two great devotions of John’s life are his Catholic faith and his family,” John Durham’s longtime friend and colleague, Deputy Chief State’s Attorney Leonard C. Boyle (uh, yeah. ‘devotion to a “Higher Loyalty”, huh? Seems we heard something like that somewhere else…oh yeah, Jim Whatsisname))                  dlh
