Valerie Plame was a media darling of Democrats circa Bush 2.0. Plame’s circumstances are highly relevant to today for reasons I’m happy to share. And not just because Valerie is running for Congress in 2020 in a D+8 District on the same lies that made her famous.
Chief Executives from 145 different companies signed a letter urging the Senate to act on “common sense” gun control. Here’s a handy list of those companies, to do with as you please. **Forgive the formatting – copy pasted from PDF (attached at bottom)** Brian Chesky, Co-Founder, Head of Community and CEO, Airbnb Keith Mestrich, President … Read more
Export Import Banks are usually government agencies. They ensure the safety and growth of a country’s foreign trade. Creation of the U.S. version came in 1934. It was for providing low interest loan guarantees. It incentivizes American companies selling American products internationally. All good so far, right? Now, as Paul Harvey would say, it’s time … Read more
Adam Schiff is a douchebag. A Major, big time, high-king DB leftist. But he’s not the right sort of leftist. Seriously, who is but Satan? To address this shortcoming, a Drag queen is challenging him for his US House seat.
There’s a bill Rep. Thomas Massie has sponsored the “Senior Citizens Tax Elimination Act”. Backers of the bill point out Social Security benefits used to be exempt from federal taxes. They are a government benefit. What sense does it make to give it with one hand and take it away with the other? Was it … Read more
Wendy Davis has one claim to fame. No, not her filibustering a bill to prevent abortion after 20 weeks, selling pink sneakers. A lot of abortion advocates desperate for a political lifeline bought pink sneakers so they could stand with Wendy.
In what is undoubtedly an underreported story, Congressional Republicans oppose the cost of living increase that would add 4500.00 dollars a year to their salary.
Did you know that Google thinks Jews are Nazis? Well, some Jews. Yesterday, The Hill shared some video of Texas Republican Dan Crenshaw in which he gets this curious “notion” – from internal Google emails – on the record.
You’ve got to hand it to Jerry Nadler and the Democrats. They know just how to sound righteous, patriotic, and even noble when they want to. For two years, they posed as champions of democracy, railing about treason at the highest levels of government. “America deserves better,” they proclaimed. And today when they’re pontificating about … Read more
The release of the Mueller report should have finally silenced President Trump’s Democrat critics who for two years have fueled the false narrative that he and his campaign colluded with the Russian government to win his election. Mueller’s exhaustive investigation has proven conclusively their destructive, and very likely concocted allegations were pure fantasy. But hard … Read more
Democrats want illegal aliens counted on the 2020 US Census for apportioning seats in the US House. If illegals count, Democrats get more Congressional seats they can win virtually uncontested. That’s bad for liberty. It’s terrible for America.
The Democrats (and their judges) have been adamant. You can’t detain these illegals; you have to release them. Mr. Trump punked the Left with his suggestion that he’d send them to Sanctuary Cities. Now he’s blaming Congress and says Homeland will be instructed to do just that.
Somali-born, Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar described the 9/11 terrorist attack as an event where “some people did something” (15:00 mark in video). She couldn’t bring herself to say “terrorism”, yet alone “Muslim Terrorism” while addressing CAIR, a Muslim lobbying group. Talk about a severe case of cognitive dissonance. With liberty in mind, I don’t have … Read more
There’s a story going around behind the scenes in NH CD-2. I’ve heard it shared in person and in writing. The claim is that the result of the 2018 Mid-term suggest Steve Negron might not be our best Republican candidate. But as Mid-Terms go, he is.
Yesterday on WMUR’s Close Up Steve Negron formally announced his intention to challenge Incumbent Democrat DC Insider Ann Kuster to a rematch. Steve (whom GraniteGrok endorsed for the 2018 race) but lost the general election says “we’re getting the band back together.”
Congress passed a resolution. It blocks Mr. Trump’s Emergency declaration on the Southern Border. In his veto signing remarks, Mr. Trump observed that “Congress’s vote to deny the crisis on the southern border is a vote against reality. It’s against reality. It is a tremendous national emergency. It is a tremendous crisis.”
Texas Republican Dan Crenshaw is a congressional bright spot in a freshman class littered with anti-semites and attention-seeking bartenders turned socialist cults of personality. Crenshaw is thoughtful, measured, and more importantly selfless.
Describe CAIR CAIR, the Council on American–Islamic Relations is a self proclaimed non-profit Muslim civil rights and advocacy group. Critics of CAIR, such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have accused it of pursuing an Islamist agenda and have claimed that the group is connected to Hamas, and the Muslim Brotherhood. CAIR rejects these claims … Read more
Trumps biggest disappointment over his tenure (from our point of view) was spending. But he appears to be trying to rectify that. I’d question the timing. We’d have had a good deal more success cutting the budget with Republican majorities in both chambers, which is to say, at least a snowball’s chance in hell. With a Democrat majority House, we have none. But maybe that’s the point?
Would it surprise you to know that Daylight Savings Time was a plot concocted by the Kaiser in WWI? It was imported to the US in 1918 and has plagued us in various forms ever since. Until 1966 when Congress forced it on all but a few locals who said screw you.
