Trump Slams Correspondents Dinner, Drops Devastating Nickname.4/30/18  Fox News by: Brooke Singman

 President Trump blasted the White House Correspondents’ Dinner as an “embarrassment” to the country and said it's “DEAD as we know it,” in the latest fallout over Saturday night's crude comedy routine. 
 In a tweet Monday morning, the president slammed the annual dinner held by the White House Correspondents’ Association, following a routine by Michelle Wolf that many -- including the head of the association -- found inappropriate.
 “The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is DEAD as we know it. This was a total disaster and an embarrassment to our great Country and all that it stands for. FAKE NEWS is alive and well and beautifully represented on Saturday night!” Trump tweeted.

Democratic Congresswoman Embodies Stupidity By Saying This About comey, Trump and killary. 

5/12/217  American Action News by: Remington Strelivo

 Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-Cali.) has quickly become a liberal darling, nicknamed “Auntie Maxine.”

 But to Republicans, she seems to be the gift that keeps on giving.
In an interview with Peter Alexander of MSNBC, Waters criticizes Trump for firing FBI Director james comey—but admits an incredible bias: that she would’ve backed killary clinton if she had been the one to fire the embattled comey.
 “You said that FBI Director james comey had no credibility,” Alexander told Waters.

 “Wouldn't you support the fact that the president, then-candidate Trump, now president Trump, made the decision to get rid of him?”
  “No, not necessarily,” Waters said. They continued to tussle over the fact that Waters thought comey had no credibility and was unable to conduct the duties of his office—but didn’t support Trump firing him.
 Alexander then asked: "So if killary clinton had won the White House, would you have recommended that she fire FBI Director james comey? "
 "If she had won the White House, I believe that given what he did to her, and what he tried to do, she should have fired him! Yes,” Waters said, referring to clinton’s allegation that comey had helped sway the 2016 election by reopening an FBI investigation into her emails days before the vote.
 "So she should have fired him but had he shouldn't fire him,” clarified Alexander. "This is why I'm confused."
  "No, no, you're not confused," Waters told Alexander.
"I AM confused," Alexander responded.
 The Democrats, who had been blaming comey for spoiling killary clinton’s chances at the White House as recently as last week, have done a complete 180—and slammed Trump for firing a man they hated.
 Like Peter Alexander, the rest of us are all confused.

The Democrats Are In Trouble, Here Is Why. 

4/30/18  by: TTN Staff

 Maybe you've heard, a blue wave is set to refill the swamp faster than Trump can drain it, as wild-eyed liberals will be rushing to the polls to reject the president in November. That may or may not happen, but Democrats aren't flooding the swamp again without overcoming some massive obstacles; some that are so big that you can't miss them, even though the media won't tell you about them. 
  President Trump will need his supporters to keep unhinged, impeachment hungry Democrats at bay, as midterms tend to go against the president's party.

 The Democrats have some serious advantages, but we have put together a list of the problems that could stop the blue wave cold. Number 5 is the wildcard that could change history. 

1.) Millennials Are Not Buying It;

Reuters just released a poll that Democrat support among millennials has fallen by ten% since 2016. The group is not naturally inclined towards President Trump, but aren't engaged at the level needed to secure Democrat gains in Congress. 34% favored Democrats on the economy, while 32 % favored Republicans.

 In 2016, Democrats outperformed Republicans on the economic question by 12 points. If younger, center-left voters don't show in November, Democrats fall short. 

2.) Economy Is Better Under Trump Than obuma;

Democrats won the House in 2006 in better economic times, with the unpopular Iraq war and Bush's low approval ratings revving their turnout, but Trump isn't Bush.

 Trump has devastated ISIS, passed tax cuts that are boosting the economy and is making history with North Korea. Trump's approval rating is higher than obuma's in 2010, meaning Democrats have their work cut out for them to offer a better vision to midterm voters. 

3.) They Have More Candidates Than Money.

The DNC has been outraised by the RNC 3-1, even though individual Democrat candidates are doing well. Dems are chomping at the bit to ride the blue wave, and have flooded primaries, where they are having costly fights with other Democrats. It was reported that House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) is asking various far-left candidates to drop out so that more electable Dems can win; this inflames tensions from the killary/bernie battles of 2016. All told, they aren't as unified as the media portrays.

4.) The Mueller Investigation Is Running On Fumes;

So-called "Russia Collusion" has been investigated for over a year, with the only result being that Americans have had their time wasted in an attempt to stop President Trump from draining the swamp.

 Nobody in the Trump campaign has been implicated in rigging the election, and the entire episode happened because obuma officials like james comey used killary's opposition research to justify warrants to spy on the Trump campaign.

 Unless Mueller pulls a rabbit out of his hat, Democrats are running out of time to use this as a political issue.

5.) Dirty Tricks May Backfire On Democrats;

Democrats have been engaged in guerrilla warfare to stop Trump at any cost. The DNC is suing the Trump campaign, Wikileaks and the Russian Government, which could result in Trump or Wikileaks' lawyers exposing more Democrat corruption, as they are left vulnerable in the discovery process.

 If this, or more evidence comes to light that the Democrats damaged the American political system with phony scandals, their name will be mud with midterm voters, and their base's enthusiasm will plummet.

Illegal Caravan Storms The Border.
4/30/18 Daily Wire by: Joseph Curl
More than 200 refugees from Central America who have moved in a caravan across Mexico have gathered at the U.S. border in Tijuana.
Some scaling the border fence and taunting U.S. officials while shouting "Gracias, Mexico!"
In a nod to former resident barry obuma, dozens also chanted “Si Se Puede!” (Yes We Can!) from atop the fence.
The caravan started out with some 1,500 refugees from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, and the hundreds that have reached the U.S. border plan to apply for asylum in the U.S.
Pro-immigration groups have dispatched lawyers to Tijuana to help instruct the refugees on how to get into the country.
Mexico has allowed the refugees to move unimpeded through the country, which prompted their gratitude.
The migrants are climbing the fence and cheering
"Gracias, México!" That's mexican for 'thanks'.
The disrespect for our borders, and for our country, is beyond belief. This is an attempt at invasion!

Crowd Chants 'Nobel!' at Trump Rally.

Apr/29/18 Timothy Meads

 Earlier, Matt covered all the reasons why President Donald J. Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize and why Democrats would be apoplectic if it actually happened.

From Matt:

"The Korean War is coming to an end. It’s the conclusion of the last major chapter of the Cold War.

 Both sides said there’s an agreement on a peace treaty and the denuclearization of the peninsula. It’s something that has eluded the Bush and obuma administrations.

 Funny—Trump mocks North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, called him “rocket man,” and sets off a panic among Democratic circles that his tweets could set off nuclear world war III.

 Why? Well, because North Korea threatened to do so, which they’ve done for years. It shouldn’t be taken seriously—and it wasn’t; the markets really didn’t have seismic shifts over this.

 Everyone thought Trump was mishandling this crisis, and in the end, both sides have agreed to officially end the war.

 So, once again the media and the Democrats were wrong.

And now, President Trump is being considered fora Nobel Peace Prize. Could you imagine how the Left would react if he were to win it?

President Donald J. Trump. Besides the Twitter exchanges, the Trump White House slapped North Korea with a series of sanctions over missile tests."

 It seems that President Trump's base would agree with that assessment as well. Last night at his rally in Michigan, the crowd began chanting "Nobel! Nobel! Nobel!" as if they were chanting "MVP!" at a professional sporting event.

 Democrats Could Totally Self-Destruct If Trump Wins A Nobel Peace Prize Brace Yourselves, Grab Some Popcorn.

Matt Vespa Apr/29/18

 The Korean War is coming to an end. It’s the conclusion of the last major chapter of the Cold War. Both sides said there’s an agreement on a peace treaty and the denuclearization of the peninsula.

 It’s something that has eluded the Bush and Obama administrations. Funny—Trump mocks North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, called him “rocket man,” and sets off a panic among Democratic circles that his tweets could set off nuclear world war III. Why?

 Because North Korea threatened to do so, which they’ve done for years. It shouldn’t be taken seriously—and it wasn’t; the markets really didn’t have seismic shifts over this.

 Everyone thought Trump was mishandling this crisis, and in the end, both sides have agreed to officially end the war.

 So, once again the media and the Democrats were wrong.

And now, President Trump is being considered for a Nobel Peace Prize!

 Could you imagine how the Left would react if he were to win it?

President obuma won it and he escalated a war in Afghanistan, failed to confront ISIS, and dithered on Syria!

 obuma did nothing when the Russians annexed Crimea!

Did nothing when chemical weapons were used in Syria as well.

 Who does South Korea give immense credit for bringing North Korea to the bargaining table? Donald J. Trump. Besides the Twitter exchanges, the Trump White House slapped North Korea with a series of sanctions over missile tests. And this isn’t just South Korea, or conservative media, saying Trump deserves credit, CNN admits it as well:

 Any way you cut it, President Donald Trump is entitled to significant credit for Friday's historic opening between the two Koreas. 

 The summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in keeps alive the possibility of a legacy win for Trump that would rank as one of the top presidential achievements since World War II.

 If he were to preside over the verifiable destruction of the North's nuclear and missile programs, formally end the 1950-53 Korean War and usher in the destruction of the world's last Cold War-era frontier, Trump would claim a feat that has eluded all of his most recent predecessors.

 The administration succeeded in enacting the most stringent sanctions regime yet imposed on North Korea -- and crucially got more buy in from China for more pressure on its nominal ally North Korea than ever before.

 If those sanctions are indeed behind North Korea's decision to come to the table, Trump's effusive praise of China's President Xi Jinping during a state visit last year, for which he was widely criticized, could be validated.

 Given the stakes, and the chance of averting what could be a murderous war on the Korean peninsula, it's possible that even in Washington's divisive political climate, everyone might be rooting for Trump to succeed.

“Everyone might be rooting for Trump to succeed,” I wish I could believe that, but I’m not holding my breathe. From the Democratic-media complex to a cadre of government officials—mostly obuma holdovers—leaking sensitive information to the press to hamstring the administration, and the recent character assassination of Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson, Trump’s Veterans Affairs secretary nominee, a lot of behind the scenes politicking could happen.

 On top of what could be a long and arduous diplomatic journey with the Koreas, the Trump White House has to deal with a hostile press corps at home and a political party that will do just about anything to destroy his agenda.

 We’ll see, but Trump winning a Nobel Prize would be a popcorn-worthy event. Here’s a man that many on the Left thought would bring war and misery to the world.

 If Trump could pull this off, the U.S. would indeed be winning, so much winning we might get tired of it, right?

Mattis Gives Epic Description Of Russian Mercenary Annihilation.

04/26/2018    Daily Wire  Ran Saavedra

 On Thursday, Secretary of Defense James Mattis told the Senate Armed Services Committee that he ordered Russian mercenaries in Syria to be annihilated once he found out that they were not part of the Russian military.
 Mattis revealed that the military used a deconfliction line with Russia to make sure that forces with which they were engaged in conflict were not part of the Russian military.

 Once the military received confirmation from Russia, Mattis ordered U.S. military forces to destroy the Russian mercenaries, The Washington Free Beacon reported.
 "The Russian high command in Syria assured us it was not their people, and my direction to the chairman was for the force, then, to be annihilated," Mattis said. "And it was."
 Mattis added that at this point he couldn't attribute responsibility for who was behind the Russian mercenaries to the Russian government, noting that there are multiple forces involved in the operations in Syria.

Sen. Cruz Questions Secretary Mattis and General Dunford in the Armed Service Committee on Threats Facing the United States.

Apr/27/18 

 WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, participated in a hearing Thursday with the Secretary of Defense, James Mattis, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Joseph Dunford, on the national security challenges facing the United States. Sen. Cruz highlighted the need to ensure U.S. combat superiority in space, to defend against hypersonic weapons from Russia and China – which Secretary Mattis identified as the Department’s number one priority – and to bolster protection of South Korea and Japan from North Korea’s conventional capabilities.

 An excerpt of his exchanges are below.

Sen. Cruz: “What would be the national security implications for the United States if Iran were to acquire nuclear weapons?

Secretary Mattis: “I think the implication for the United States and for every nation in the region would be an increased level of danger at a level we have never experienced from this regime.”

 Sen. Cruz then shifted his line of questioning to focus on space as a contested domain. 

Sen. Cruz: “General Dunford, you have acknowledged that, “Unlike previous eras, when space was considered a benign and unchallenged environment, space is now a contested domain.”

 Based on that shared assessment, I introduced language to last year’s NDAA, which my colleagues on this committee supported, that officially labeled space a combat domain and called for a policy to develop and field an integrated system of assets to protect our space-based capabilities, to deter or deny attacks in space, and defend the US homeland, our allies, and deployed forces.

 In your judgment, what is the United States’ greatest military comparative advantage in space, relative to Russia and China?

General Dunford: “Senator I think there’s really a few if you don’t mind me listing them.  One is obviously, we leverage space for our command and control systems, we leverage it for navigation and that also includes our ability to deliver precision munitions and the other area we leverage it for is the area of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.

 You know for example when North Korea was doing testing, to put a finer point on it, the first indication we had that there was a missile test came from our space-based assets. We do leverage space for some core capabilities of the department.

Sen. Cruz: “What are our greatest vulnerabilities? And what are we doing and should we be doing you taking to mitigate those vulnerabilities?”

General Dunford: “What we see with China and Russia and to some degree some other countries, they developed the ability to jam our systems, they developed the ability to laze or blind our systems are some of the biggest challenges.

 One that was referred to earlier is that we have a lot of space junk out there that puts at risk our targets and as that increases it becomes a greater threat as well, so those would be the three that I’d highlight.”
