If the GOP keeps ignoring me….well, then they have NO ONE to blame but themselves

And that would be:

  • Consistency breeds Trust yields Votes
  • Winning is only a precursor; what is most important is what you do afterwards

They aren’t Consistent, they are breaking Promises, and worse, don’t seem to care.  They pleaded for 8 years – they got what they wanted.  We aren’t.  We aren’t happy either.  I hope they are literally devastated in 2018 for repeating 2006 all over again (emphasis mine, reformatted):

With This New Poll, Republican Lawmakers Should Be Sweating

With majorities in the House and Senate, as well as the presidency, there’s no excuse for Republicans to be faltering and fumbling the way they have. They had seven years to craft a solution to the nightmare known as Obamacare, and when the bell tolled, they were found wanting. A new Quinnipiac University pollshows just how disgruntled Republicans are with their representatives in Washington.

America First: Not the “Comprehensive Immigration” the Establishment was expecting – the RAISE Act

President Donald Trump’s senior adviser Stephen Miller said Trump’s new skills-based RAISE Act immigration proposal that benefits American workers is yet another example of how Trump favors the working class over the investment class…Miller said. “This is a major promise to the American people.”

Not desired by the Elites and Establishment but US Senators Tom Cotton (R-LA) and David Perdue (R-GA) are delivering what I believe is the kind of immigration reform that is needed.  It is, however, 180 degrees away from what the GOPe, US Chamber of Commerce, and the Democrats believe was their “right” to have.  And what is that, you ask?  What the Bush and Obama Administrations gave us, for the most part – mass immigration via almost open borders with chain migration.  Thanks Ted “Swimmer” Kennedy as he changed immigration for the worse in 1965 (and we’ve had two mass amnesty gimme’s already) an famously infamously said “[O]ur cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually … Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset.”.  Yeah, that held up well, didn’t it?

Press Conference – RAISE Act. Can you say “smacked down” and “chopped to bits”?

The White House Press corp is fat, lazy, and think they know than they do.  Oh sure, they do snark but after watching these WH press updates, I’m not impressed with those that seem to have been deemed “the best of the best”.  It seems that on a lot of occasions, they do better at preening and put their desire to be in the limelight of the camera than they are in asking the questions that we in middle America want answered.  And none of them do preening and pretentious  is CNN’s Jim Acosta – pompous and clueless without knowing he’s either.

Stephen Miller, a Trump Senior Advisor came into the WH Press Room loaded with facts, a helpful dole of snark and hunting for journalistic prey –  Acosta never saw it coming and never stood a chance.  I was just laughing and laughing as each and every time Acosta kept trying to do the Progressive smear tactics.  Miller kept shooting him down as if he were a Ma Duece against a SJW looking for a safe space.

You go, Jim Acosta; you keep opening your mouth and just keep proving “Fake News”.  Here’s a phrase you need to be able to handle: P R E P A R E    B E T T E R.  If you want to be perceived as bright, do your homework.  But I’d rather you not as it does continue the stereotype that you journalists are both lazy and Democrats with Bylines.  (H/T: Townhall)

Notable Quote – Robert Heinlein

Do not confuse “duty” with what other people expect of you; they are utterly different. Duty is a debt you owe to yourself to fulfill obligations you have assumed voluntarily. Paying that debt can entail anything from years of patient work to instant willingness to die. Difficult it may be, but the reward is self-respect. … Read more

The General – 1, The “Mooch” – 0

Yep, that lasted long short.  Anthony Scaramucci, who sold his very successful NY financial firm, became Trump’s Communications Director just 10 days ago.  His claim to fame, forever more, will be his wallpaper ripping, foul mouth self-introduction to the White House staff. Today, US Marine General John Kelly (and Marines are world class in 4 letter word utterances) became Trump’s Chief of Staff.

I bet when the Mooch ran into Kelly, he bounced backwards and landed on his gluteus maximus. Hard.  And then ust slouched outward.  Big mouth met Big Man.

So, who MIGHT be the next Comms Dir?  Heh – Conservative Treehouse has an idea:

Allen West: How Differently Would Senators Act Without the 17th Amendment?

We have interviewed Lt. Col Allen West in the past and were MOST impressed by this straight backed, straight talking man. I generally don’t abstract a whole post but I certainly agree with West. Progressives hate our Republic form of governance as they knew/know what our Founders knew – a direct democracy has always failed – which is why Progressives have always worked to move away from our original Constitutional checks and balances.  From CNSNews (emphasis ine):

You know, if you sit and read the entire Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers and the Constitution, you’ll come to realize how truly brilliant the Founding Fathers were. Today, we have an academic elite that sees them only through the lens of identity politics; often, they perceive them as old, slave-owning, white men.

But when you lucidly examine what they did, you’ll see, as Benjamin Franklin said, they gave us a Republic — if we could keep it. They gave us a governing structure not just focused on the near term, but could truly last forever. Sadly, we lack the intellectual regimen in our current system of indoctrination (not education!) to objectively study these fundamental ideas, principles and values. We used to call it civics, but now, via revisionist history, the progressive socialist left, as Barack Obama stated, is all about fundamentally transforming our nation.

And have been doing so since the 1890s.

Voter Fraud? Yep

voterfraudSince the state and local governments have often refused to look at the problem, individuals upset with this government failure to protect their votes have gotten their own project together to start cross-matching voter information – and it is starting to pay off (and a Hat Tip to the ‘Grok’s own (and Chair of CNHT) Ed Naile for doing a lot of the networking and info gathering here in NH). Emphasis mine, reformatted:

President Trump’s Advisory Commission on Election Integrity has set out to seek justice.

The Government Accountability Institute (GAI) discovered that “thousands of votes in the 2016 election were illegal duplicate votes from people who registered and voted in more than one state.”  GAI used lists of public voter data from only 21 states to match names birthdays and social security numbers to find 8,471 votes from 2016 were duplicated. You can estimate the number of fraudulent votes based on all 50 states and the GAI conservatively estimated that to be around 45,000. 45,000 duplicate votes.

It isn’t just Big Corp using Big Data techniques, folks

“Allahu Akbar!” – Well, I dunno about you but that makes it fairly clear to me.

Islamic Rage BoyYet, once again, “experts” and our “betters” claim the opposite.  Yet, once again, we see an asylum seeker from the Religion of Peace not being so peaceful pretty much telling everyone why he is doing this at the top of his lungs (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Machete-wielding man ‘screaming Allahu Akbar’ kills one person and injures several others during rampage in Hamburg supermarket

A man wielding a large kitchen knife killed one and wounded four others after storming into a supermarket in the German city of Hamburg. The attacker is reported to have screamed ‘Allahu Akbar’ before running into the Edeka shop where he stabbed one person and slashed at four others while trying to flee.

…One officer said there was ‘no valid information on the motive of the attacker’ who has yet to be identified.

Ayup.  Look, I know that formal investigations must be made but it seems that European govts are willfully stupid about such things.  I guess Angela Merkul would have a stompy foot moment if her police simply decided “let’s take him on his word”.  Frankly, haven’t we seen this before?  That those screaming that phrase and then commit violence do tend to be exactly what it seems – not really rocket science.

Notable Quote – Andrew Klaven

On the current state of affairs in DC:

You know what’s the funniest thing about all this? The funniest thing is that it’s still better than having the Democrats in power! Like, a lot better. We now know the Obama administration was spying on just about everybody. The Hillary gang seem to have been the ones really colluding with Putin. The Senate minority leader has given up on capitalism. And the former head of the DNC has been doing God-knows-what with a Pakistani IT guy who just got arrested trying to blow the country!

So while the stupid party is reaching Ultimate Stupid, the evil party has been pushing the needle toward Satanic.

Now you may be asking: What the hell happened to the greatest country on earth — and also, why is this Klavan guy laughing? I will answer both questions.

Cool – another reason to give Progressives to not shop there!

WalMart-Concealed-Carry-JacketLet’s face it, urban Progressive Elites hate the idea of Walmart – they hate the products, they hate the price, and of course, they hate the people that shop there.  That’s why they give Walmart such a hassle (if not outright rage) when it announces it wants to build somewhere near them.  Well, I think this is a GREAT reason to give those elites the heebie-jeebies (emphasis mine):

Walmart Sells Concealed Carry Clothing

WalMart is now selling a jacket specifically designed for concealed carry. While clothing designed for concealed carry has been available commercially for decades, WalMart’s move into the CCW clothing market indicates the ongoing “mainstreaming” of American gun ownership.

It’s a TWOFER!  They already hate the idea of Walmart, that Walmart still sells guns – and now this should be the finger-to-the-eye pièce de résistance!
