Attorney General Jeff Sessions said.

“We are not going to let this country be invaded!

We will not be stampeded!

We will not capitulate to lawlessness!

This is NOT business as usual.

This is the Trump era!," the Attorney General said.

The Reputation of the FBI Can Be Rescued; james comey’s Cannot. --   OPINION:

  6/15/18 7:15 AM by Mark Davis

“We’ve got some work to do.”

FBI Director Christopher Wray was precisely correct in his comments following the release of the scathing Inspector General’s report with an official title of “A Review of Various Actions By the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice in Advance of the 2016 Election.”

It runs 500 pages, but the bottom line can be described in less than thirty words: An honorable FBI has been tainted by the mishandling of the Clinton investigation by former Director James Comey, and corrupted by the blatant political bias of officials working beneath him.

The report effectively destroys the image of Comey that he sought to paint in his sanctimonious, condescending book. It bolsters the various criticisms of him for taking actions based on his own whims rather than facts and the law. It finds no discernible political motive for the bizarre July 2016 news conference in which he described a long list of Hillary Clinton misdeeds, only to conclude that charges were not appropriate.

That was not his call to make, and it was just one example the IG report cites of Comey venturing outside standard procedures. He concealed the content of his observations from the Department of Justice and instructed his staff to do the same, which the report calls “extraordinary and insubordinate.”

Comey would do well to invest the proceeds wisely from the now ironically titled “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership.” His loyalty was clearly not placed at the lofty levels he advertised. But if he was not in the tank for Hillary, what was hF

Partisans have instantly doubted the report’s rejection of a political purpose, but it is not hard to imagine comey

faced with strong evidence of crimes by Hillary Clinton, yet blanching at the prospect of sparking a prosecution that would have destroyed her presidential campaign. He would go down in history as the FBI director who changed an election.

 That would be a daunting act, but it was his job. The “higher loyalty” of the FBI and Department of Justice is to follow, as the iconic saying goes, “wherever the evidence leads.”

comey did not do that. Heaven knows Attorney General loretta lynch was not likely to do that. But even if they had aspired to their job descriptions, the Department of Justice’s own analysis might have impeded progress.

Much was made in the Summer of 2016 that clinton’s long list of misconduct appeared to feature negligence rather than specific intent. But can’t we find prison cells filled with people whose crimes were not intentional, but sufficiently, stunningly heedless that the law was broken?

The IG report cites prosecutor logic that absurdly blurs the line between neglect and intent, requiring “a state of mind so gross as to almost suggest deliberate intention…something that falls just short of being willful.”

 In the dictionary and the real world, intent means intent and neglect means neglect. The conflation of these concepts spurred comey to his fatuous assertion that “no reasonable prosecutor” would pursue the case, even though clinton’s actions had been “grossly negligent.”

 While comey’s lies may have been an insufficient spine to do what the evidence called for, no such excuse exists for the growing den of snakes among FBI officials whose distaste for Trump now stands as sad evidence of the politicization of the investigative process.

Nonetheless, Director Wray was also correct when he said Thursday that “nothing in this report impugns the integrity of our workforce as a whole or the FBI as an institution.” In fact, no one has made such a broad criticism. Despite ridiculous claims that his Twitter rants constitute “an attack on the rule of law,”

even President Trump has never suggested that the FBI is rotten to the core or that its political hostilities are pervasive.

But they are enough to tarnish a once-gleaming image.

They are enough to cast doubt as to the FBI’s reliability in past probes of killary clinton and the current probe of Trump/Russia collusion.

The good news is that with comey gone, Wray has a chance to make clear that partisan aggressions will no longer be tolerated at his FBI. Uncorrupted FBI agents and staff, who comprise a vast majority, should be able to usher the Bureau into a new season of redeemed standing.

 But comey is done. He may rake in a ton of cash from that silly book, or score a weekend cable show on MSNBC. But we won’t hear much more of the treacly praise of him as a gleaming example of judgment and leadership.

 The FBI deserves every opportunity to purge itself of its malcontents and return to its prior stature. james comey deserves to be in Jail. Striped of his Law enforcement licenses! and slink away to obscurity!

 His days of "snowing" us as a self-proclaimed pillar of law enforcement virtue are over.

Canada’s Supreme Court Rules Against the Bible.

 6/16/18 12:01 AM  Michael Brown

In a ruling that is sure to send shock waves through the nation, Canada’s Supreme Court ruled 7-2 against Trinity Western University’s (TWU) Law School.

 In effect, what the court declared is that universities must choose between biblical standards and accreditation. Put another way, the court ruled that Christianity and higher education are incompatible. I am not exaggerating in the least.

 Here’s a brief summary of the case for those who are not familiar with it.

Trinity Western is a Christian university that requires its students and faculty to live by basic Christian standards. This means that to be a student or faculty member in good standing, you can’t commit fornication or adultery, nor can you engage in homosexual relationships.

 There’s nothing surprising with these requirements, and there are thousands of schools in North America with similar standards. These include Christian schools from K-12, Christian colleges, Bible schools, seminaries, and universities.

 These standards have long been part of TWU’s mandatory covenant, which requires “that all students and faculty pursue a holy life ‘characterized by humility, self-sacrifice, mercy and justice, and mutual submission for the good of others.’ It requires members to abstain from using vulgar language, lying or cheating, stealing, using degrading materials such as pornography, and ‘sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman.

Again, this is gospel 101, the basic requirements of Christian discipleship. And it is honorable that TWU seeks to live this out on its campus.

Unfortunately, when TWU opened its law school, it fell afoul of Canada’s LGBT activists and their allies. They argued that TWU was discriminating against LGBT students, because of which students graduating with a bona fide law degree should not be allowed to practice law in Canada.

 There was a ray of hope for TWU when a regional court ruled in its favor. But now, “In a pair of 7-2 rulings, the majority of justices found the law societies of British Columbia and Ontario have the power to refuse accreditation based on Trinity Western University's so-called community covenant.”

Or, to paraphrase, the Supreme Court ruled that if a Christian law school wants accreditation, it must abandon biblical values. How else can this be interpreted?

“The majority judgment said the covenant would deter LGBT students from attending the proposed law school, and those who did attend would be at risk of significant harm.”

Significant harm? If so, why? Because of biblical teaching. Because of Christian values. This the focus of the battle. This is the point of conflict.

Phrase it however you like, but this is the hardcore truth.

 “The judgment found the public interest of the law profession gives it the right to promote equality by ensuring equal access, support diversity within the bar and prevent harm to LGBT students.”

In other words, “diversity” according to the LGBT lexicon.

Diversity meaning “the LGBT way or the highway.” Diversity meaning, “all views are welcome other than biblical Christian views.”

 That’s why we’ve been raising our voices for so many years. That’s why we’ve been warning. That’s why we’ve said that those who came out of the closet want to put us into the closet. That’s why we’ve said that LGBT activism was never simply about “tolerance.” It was about the silencing of competing views.

And if it could happen in Canada, it could happen in America. For the skeptics and mockers, give me one good reason why this could not happen here. And note that TWU was not some tiny school hidden in a corner. It has “40 undergraduate programs and 17 graduate programs!”

 On a more personal, individual level, what happens to all the law students at TWU? What happens to those who spent years studying and invested tens of thousands of dollars in getting a law degree, only to be banned from practicing law in Canada because their school holds to Christian values?

What about the significant harm experienced by them?

 Honestly, I don’t know where TWU goes from here. And I don’t know how the believers in Canada will respond.

But I can say this to my friends and colleagues and fellow-educators and communicators here in America:

 We either use our liberties or lose them. We either stand fast and stand tall and stand strong, or we cower in a corner. We either do what’s right today, or we apologize to our children tomorrow.

It’s time to push back!

Opinion;  He Fights! 

 7/13/17  Evan Sayet

My Leftist friends, as well as many ardent NeverTrumpers constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by President Donald Trump’s lack of decorum.

 They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.”

 Here’s my answer:

We Right-thinking people have tried "dignity".  There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency.

 We tried "statesmanship".  Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized “collegiality” as John McCain, turned RINO?

 We tried propriety – has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney?  And the results were always the same.

 This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob.

 I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper” about barry obuma’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party.

 I don’t see anything “dignified” in killery clinton lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks.

 I don’t see anything “statesman-like” in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent.

 Yes, obuma was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper!

 The Liberal Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60s. To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale.  It has been a war they’ve fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one – the violent take-over of the universities – till today.

 The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war.  While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety.

 With President Donald Trump, this all has come to an end.  Donald Trump is America’s first wartime president in the Culture War.

 During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality” simply aren’t the most essential qualities one looks for in their warriors.

 Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming.

 Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of "propriety" and booted Grant,

the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today.

  Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare this man.  He fights.”

General George Patton was a vulgar-talking, son-of-a-bitch.  In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank.  But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the "normal rules of decorum", then Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into their thousand-year Reich. 

 President Trump is fighting.  And what’s particularly delicious is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel’s, he’s shouting, “You magnificent bastards, I read your book!”

 That is just the icing on the cake, but it’s wonderful to see that not only is President Trump fighting, he’s defeating the Left using their own tactics. -- Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals

 That book, Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals – a book so essential to the Liberals’ war against America  that it is and was the playbook for the entire obuma administration!

 It is a book of such pure evil, that, Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer. 

And it was the subject of killary clinton’s senior thesis.

 President Trump’s tweets may seem rash and unconsidered but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do. 

First, instead of going after “the fake media” – and they are so fake that they have literally gotten every single significant story of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the truth, from the Tet Offensive to Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri –

 President Trump isolated CNN.  He made it personal.  Then, just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule which Alinsky described as “the most powerful weapon of all.”

 Everyone gets that it’s not just CNN – in fact, in a world where al sharpton and rachel madcow, paul krugman and nicholas kristof are people of "influence" and whose “reporting” is in no way significantly different than CNN’s – CNN is just a piker.

 Most importantly,  President Trump’s tweets have put CNN in an untenable and unwinnable position.  With his ability to go around them, they cannot simply stand pat. They need to respond. This leaves them with only two choices.

They can either “go high” as killary would disingenuously declare of herself and the fake news would disingenuously report as the truth, and begin to honestly and accurately report the news or they can double-down on their usual tactics and hope to defeat  President Trump with twice their usual hysteria and demagoguery. 

 The problem for CNN (et al.) with the former is that, if they were to start honestly reporting the news, that would be the end of the Democratic Party they serve.  It is nothing but the incessant use of fake news (read: propaganda) that keeps the Left alive. 

 Imagine, for example, if CNN had honestly and accurately reported then-candidate barry obumas close ties to foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), domestic terrorists (William Ayers), the mafia (Tony Rezko) or the true evils of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright’s, church, what would have happened?

 Imagine if they had honestly and accurately conveyed the evils of the obuma administration’s weaponizing of the IRS to be used against their political opponents or his running of guns to the Mexican cartels or the truth about the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the obuma administration’s cover-up. what would have happened?

 This makes “going high” a non-starter for CNN.  This leaves them no other option but to ratchet up the fake news, conjuring up the next “nothing burger” and devoting 24 hours a day to hysterical rants about how it’s “worse than Nixon.” --  This, obviously, is what CNN has chosen to do.

 The problem is that, as they become more and more hysterical, they become more and more obvious.  Each new effort at even faker news than before and faker “outrage”, only makes that much more clear to any objective observer that President Trump is and always has been right about the fake news media. 

 And, by causing their hysteria, President Trump has forced them into numerous, highly embarrassing and discrediting mistakes.  

 Thus, in their desperation, they have lowered their standards even further and run with articles so clearly fake that, even with the liberal, laws protecting the media, they’ve had to wholly retract and erase their stories repeatedly!

 Their flailing at President Trump has even seen them cross the line into criminality, with CNN using their vast corporate fortune to hunt down a private citizen for having made fun of them in an Internet meme.  This threat to “dox” – release of personal information to encourage co-ideologists to visit violence upon him and his family -- a political satirist was chilling in that it clearly wasn’t meant just for him.  If it were, there would have been no reason for CNN to have made their “deal” with him public. 

 Instead, CNN – playing by “Chicago Rules” – was sending a message to any and all: dissent will not be tolerated. -- This heavy-handed and hysterical response to a joke on the Internet has backfired on CNN, giving rise to only more righteous ridicule.

 So, to my friends on the Left – and the NeverTrumpers as well -- do I wish we lived in a time when our president could be “collegial” and “dignified” and “proper”?  Of course I do.

 These aren’t those times.  This is war.  And it’s a war that the Left has been fighting  without opposition for the past 50 years.

 So, say anything you want about this president –  he can be vulgar, he can be crude, he can be undignified at times.

 I don’t care.  I can’t spare this man.  He fights!

Trump Grows as His Critics Shrink.

 6/16/18  Deroy Murdock

Warning: This opinion piece features profane language, as originally expressed by those quoted here.

NEW YORK — Promisekeeper. Peacemaker. President.

 Say what you will about Donald J. Trump. The president of the United States is focused on big things. He is keeping his promises to restore prosperity to a nation that endured eight years of economic stasis under obuma. Trump is making America competitive again, in part through robust deregulation. He is slashing taxes and launched a game-changing 21 percent corporate levy. The commander-in-chief is giving veterans broader choices in healthcare and making it easier to sack VA staffers who fail them. Trump is freeing terminally ill patients to try experimental drugs that the FDA previously denied them. The president is filling the federal courts with constitutionalist jurists.

 One statistic epitomizes President Trump’s domestic achievements: Adult female unemployment is at its lowest level since 1953 — during the Korean War.

 In an almost poetic parallel, Trump has spent this week trying to cool the embers of that very conflict, which, 65 years later, endures — at least on paper. His meeting in Singapore with North Korean despot Kim Jong-un is a personal best — light years from The Apprentice — and with the potential for enormous good for Koreans and Americans alike.

 While President Trump works on major initiatives like these, his opponents are sinking even deeper into the swamp of unprecedented verbal ugliness. The very same people who moan about President Trump allegedly demolishing civil discourse have mouths like sewers and thoughts to match. "First, I wanna say,'Fuck Trump,'" Academy Award-winning actor Robert deniro waxed eloquently at Sunday night's Tony Awards. "It's no longer "Down with Trump.", It's "Fuck Trump."  The crowd of show people roared their approval. They further signaled their liberal tolerance by giving these 'words' a standing ovation!

 Just what, exactly, did this obscene outburst accomplish? Did this foul rant get anyone anywhere? Did these bad words get Trump’s supporters to think about how he might perform his job even better? Did they help independent voters weigh Trump’s shortcomings or suggest a brighter path for America?

These questions answer themselves.

- Not content to slam the president, “comedian” samantha bee recently used a taped appearance on TBS’ Full Frontal to react to a photo of Ivanka Trump holding her young son. Bbe called Ivanka a “feckless cunt” — the “c-word” doing for women what the “n-word” does for blacks. bee also filthily suggested that some incestuous sexual relationship exists between the president and First Daughter.

  Atlantic magazine senior editor David Frum on June 2 took to the ever-elevating Twitter platform to hypothesize about when a president could be prosecuted for obstruction of justice. As Frum wondered: “Suppose President Trump punched the First Lady in the White House (federal property = federal jurisdiction), then ordered the Secret Service to conceal the assault. POTUS has Article II authority over Secret Service. Is that obstruction? Under Sekulow/Dowd, apparently NO.” Frum could have raised the same bizarre point, perhaps with Trump, in the Oval Office, hurling the Resolute Desk’s stapler at Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Trump very publicly has expressed disappointment with Sessions. In this scenario: violence? Yes. Spousal abuse? No.

 Instead, Frum invoked the image of Trump beating his wife in the White House. And he did this even as the First Lady was out of the limelight, recuperating from kidney surgery. -- Sick.

 Meanwhile, HBO’s bill maher prays that an economic downturn dislodges President Trump. “I’m hoping for it because one way you get rid of Trump is a crashing economy. So please, bring on the recession,” Maher said June 8 on Real Time. “Sorry if that hurts people, but it’s either root for a recession or you lose your democracy….I feel like the bottom has to fall out at some point.”

 Impoverishing his fellow Americans is insufficient for john cusack. The highly under-rated actor — whose ample dramatic and comedic gifts should be better deployed — demands insurrection against America’s duly elected president. -- “Let’s go to streets,” Cusack insisted June 6 via Twitter. “Who owns the streets? Civil disobedience. Require the government to leave if you are not satisfied with it. We need to kick Trump out of the office now. He’s ill, deranged and dangerous. He’s putting children in cages — fuck the Nazi s  — shut them down.” Cusack’s proposed method for removing President Trump “now,” via  impeachment nor the 2020 election. “Gotta vote out the death kult and every single enabler,” Cusack added, misspellings and all. “And We gotta shut down trump – scare the shit out of them – get children out of cages.”

“Cages”  referred to photos of illegal-alien children being fenced in pens under federal custody. These pictures emerged lately, sparked Leftist rage, and confirmed Trump’s Third World-level commitment to human rights.--  Actually, these snapshots proved no such thing. The children in cages were photographed in 2014, inside facilities operated by the obuma Administration.-- Cusack seems to live the title of his 1989 hit film Say Anything. Last year, he posted a picture whose text read: “Yer dead — get yerself buried.” He then captioned the photo, “Message for Trump.”-- After complaints mounted, Cusack erased the Twitter post and wrote: “Really:) I’m a non violence person but politically – crazy lying administration is dead.”  Repulsive!

 As President Donald J. Trump grows in his position, his detractors shrivel into nitpicking, profane, irrelevant babies!

Why Fox News Is No. One!  

 6/16/18 12:01 AM  Michael Reagan

 You wonder why Fox News is Number One in THE MEDIA?

It's because CNN, MSNBC, NBC and the rest are so relentlessly negative about President Donald Trump, that they force people to watch Fox to find out the truth.

Take this week's Singapore Summit.

 No matter what President Trump accomplished in Singapore in his face-to-face meeting with North Korea's Kim Jong Un, for Joe, Mika and their fellow foreign policy experts in the media, it was not enough.

Or it was too much. -- Or Trump was naive or stupid. -- Or he gave away too much. -Or he didn't ask "Little Rocket Man" about his gulags. Or he was just trying to win a Nobel Peace Prize.

 My favorite complaint about the Singapore Summit from liberals was that by merely meeting with Kim Jong Un, President Trump gave a thug the legitimacy he didn't deserve.

 American presidents haven't met with thugs like Kim Jong Un since the beginning of time.

Just two years ago barry obuma and a delegation of a thousand staffers, insiders and reporters flew into Havana to slobber all over Raul Castro and the ghost of his brother Fidel. The in-bed-with-obuma embedded media loved obuma's move. They called it historic. They called it a Berlin Wall moment - a step toward the liberation of the Cuban people.

 The mainstream media never complained that obuma didn't ask Comrade Raul to be nicer to the impoverished people living under his communist dictatorship or release the gay Cubans held in his prisons.--  Not a peep from the MSM. Not even crickets.

 President Trump, on the other hand, can't win with the mainstream media.

 One month they're saying his tough rhetoric about North Korea is going to start World War III.

A month or two later they're complaining his Singapore statement wasn't strong enough and he was too soft on Kim Jong Un.

 It reminds me of the way the liberal media treated my father back in the 1980s when he was calling the USSR "The Evil Empire" and trying to meet with Soviet leaders about nuclear arms control.

 The mainstream media and the foreign policy establishment were constantly pushing my dad to hurry-up and meet with the USSR's leaders, who kept dying on him until Mikhail Gorbachev came along.

 The media of the day wanted my dad to sign a deal in Reykjavek with Gorbachev, ASAP. They wanted him to sign away Star Wars, take our missiles out of Europe - give up whatever it took to make the Soviets happy and avert Armageddon. -- My father stuck to his guns. -- He ignored the impatient liberal media, the foreign policy "experts" and some of his own staffers and within a few years the Berlin Wall was down and the USSR was history!

 My father learned that negotiating successfully one-on-one with an enemy like Gorbachev is a process that takes time. The two leaders didn't accomplish or sign anything at those meetings, but ultimately my father and Gorbachev developed a liking for each other.

 But that relationship didn't stop my father from telling Gorbachev at their first meeting that either you come to the table and negotiate in good faith or we'll jack up our military spending and bankrupt you, which we eventually did in the long run!

 Trump's message to Kim Jong Un was similar, only more blunt and much tougher - either you'll come to the table or you'll cease to exist.

 Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump both used the negotiating tools they had in their hip pockets.

In the long run, President Trump will probably be as successful as my father.

 We're still in the first days of a long process, but the biased media are impatient and irrational. They want everything settled yesterday and the Korean Peninsula denuked tomorrow.

  But even if it turns out the way they want, they'll figure out some way to give the credit to nancy pukelosi, barry obuma or dennis rodman, never will they give it to President Trump.

President Trump Breaks Silence on DOJ IG Report - Here's What He Had to Say. 

 6/15/18    Leah Barkoukis

President Trump weighed in on the damning Department of Justice inspector general’s report released Thursday, saying its conclusions justify his decision to fire former FBI Director james comey.

 “The IG Report is a total disaster for comey, his minions and sadly, the FBI. comey will now officially go down as the worst leader, by far, in the history of the FBI. I did a great service to the people in firing him. Good Instincts. Christopher Wray will bring it proudly back!” the president tweeted Friday morning. 

  As Katie outlined this morning, some of the key findings from the report include that bias was found at the FBI; an FBI agent and lawyer messaged each other about “stopping Trump” from becoming president; several other agents expressed political bias in favor of killary clinton and against Donald Trump on their government-issued devices, including one who embraced the “resistance”; and that comey was “insubordinate.”  

 “FBI Agent Peter Strzok, who headed the clinton & Russia investigations, texted to his lover Lisa Page, in the IG Report, that “we’ll stop” candidate Trump from becoming President. Doesn’t get any lower than that!” Trump also tweeted. 

 The president then retweeted several clips from former congressman Jason Chaffetz appearing on Fox & Friends discussing the report.  "All of this started because killary clinton set up her private server. Anything Mueller is doing with his investigation is tainted by the anti-Trump FBI agents.    6/15/18  

 The DOJ IG report is 562 pages of nothing but bias and animus. This is one of the most damning rebukes of the FBI that I think we’ve ever seen.  DOJ IG report finds that an FBI lawyer told a bureau employee “Viva le resistance” after President Trump was elected.

 George P. Bush Rallies For Trump.

 6/16/18   Timothy Meads

George P. Bush, son of Trump's former presidential candidate rival Jeb Bush, has voiced his support for the current president yet again in a rousing speech at the Texas Republican convention earlier today. 

  As noted by Todd Gillman of the Dallas News, George P. rallied the Texas GOP by declaring. "Are we gonna stand up for President Donald J. Trump. Are we going to reject the fake news and the liberal media? … Yes we are!" 

 Bush is a formidable politician in the Lone Star state. He currently holds the position of Texas Land Commissioner.

 But, he has fallen under controversy and accused of corruption because "after he took office in 2015, the Daughters of the Republic of Texas were removed from overseeing the Alamo and replaced by nonprofits that Bush's General Land Office controls," according to the Dallas News.

 "Despite the 'fake news' you may have been reading in the liberal media, we've been busy saving and strengthening the Alamo for generations to come," Bush also told the crowd. 

George P. was the only member of his dynastic family's clan to publicly state that he voted for Trump in 2016 general election.

 President Trump was notoriously mean to his father and consistently called the former Florida governor "Low Energy Jeb." That led to a somewhat humorous moment and a really great high five from Jeb during a primary debate.

 The moderator asked the candidates what they would want their secret service nicknames to be if they won the presidency.-- Jeb said he would want "High Energy Jeb!"

  Trump approved, and the two slapped hands in jovial expression. It may have been the highlight of Jeb's campaign. Donald said his nickname would be "Humble." The exchange can be seen here.

Supreme Court Backs Accurate Voter Rolls and Honest Elections.

 6/15/18   Ken Blackwell

Democrats have long relied on inaccurate election rolls to aid their candidates. They want to count every vote, legal or not.

 So, after Ohio’s government cleaned up its registration lists it was hit with the usual claims of left-wing bias.

  Now the Supreme Court has ruled fFOR the state.

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted said the “decision is a victory for election integrity” and Ohio’s system could “serve as a model for other states to use.”

 Playing an important supporting role was the Trump Justice Department, which shifted to defend Ohio—the obuma administration naturally attacked the state’s effort.

 The president deserves credit for appointing Justice Neil Gorsuch, who provided the deciding vote.

In Husted v. Randolph Institute the state had dropped a voter who failed to cast a ballot in several elections and respond to a notice requesting that he affirm his eligibility.

Democrats have long relied on inaccurate election rolls to aid their candidates. They want to count every vote, legal or not.

 So, after Ohio’s government cleaned up its registration lists it was hit with the usual claims of left-wing bias. Now the Supreme Court has ruled for the state.

 Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted said the “decision is a victory for election integrity” and Ohio’s system could “serve as a model for other states to use.” Playing an important supporting role was the Trump Justice Department, which shifted to defend Ohio—the obuma administration naturally attacked the state’s effort. The president deserves credit for appointing Justice Neil Gorsuch, who provided the deciding vote.

 In Husted v. Randolph Institute the state had dropped a voter who failed to cast a ballot in several elections and respond to a notice requesting that he affirm his eligibility. There was no evidence of racism, prejudice, unfairness, or malice.

 Nevertheless, liberal groups sued, claiming that relying on the failure to vote violated federal law. Ohio prevailed in the District Court but lost at the appellate level.

 Justice Samuel Alito authored the majority opinion, which focused on statutory interpretation. He explained that the relevant federal statute “simply forbids the use of nonvoting as the sole criterion for removing a registrant, and Ohio does not use it that way.” Which means that the state did not violate federal law.

 The justice cited the dissent’s “alternative interpretation of the Failure-to-Vote clause, but that reading is inconsistent with both the text of the clause and the clarification of its meaning” in another section. Indeed, the dissenters believed that judges should overrule state policy based on their personal opinion of “reasonableness.” 

 Political activists and activist judges alike aren’t interested in understanding what the law is. They want to declare what the law should be.

 Justice Sonia Sotomayor complained that the majority ignored “the h...

 Justice Alito responded, she “has not pointed to any evidence in t...

 Although Justice Clarence Thomas joined the majority to uphold the state’s action, he authored a concurring opinion which addressed important constitutional issues. He noted that “constitutional text and history” gave states exclusive authority to determine voter qualifications.

 Thus, the arguments advanced for overturning Ohio’s law “would seriously interfere with the States’ constitutional authority to set and enforce voter qualifications.” Congress is authorized to set rules governing when, where, and how people vote, not who can vote.

 This argument was made in greater detail by the amicus brief filed by the American Civil Rights Union. ACRU explained that if Congress had barred states from removing inactive voters from the rolls, then federal law would intrude “on the important federalist balance in the Constitution.” The latter limits Washington’s role, allowing only regulation concerning “Times, Places, and Manner” of federal contests.

 The purpose is simple: to preclude what we cannot imagine today, states refusing to hold elections for federal legislators.

 In contrast, the Supreme Court has held that setting “voter qualifications … forms no part of the power to be conferred upon the national government by the Elections Clause.”

 Noted ACRU, the Constitution “gives the power to set voter qualifications to the States, exclusively. The power to set voter qualifications includes the power to enforce them.”

 Hence Ohio is authorized to remove voters who, in this case, failed to vote and respond to a request to affirm their continued eligibility to vote.

 However, the Court didn’t have to reach the constitutional issue because federal law did not purport to bar Ohio from acting as it did.

 ACRU’s brief also reminded us why states need to actively maintain accurate election rolls. For instance, Pew Charitable Trusts figured that 24 million registrations nationwide are inaccurate.

 The Public Interest Legal Foundation discovered that 141 counties in 21 states had more registered voters than eligible residents.

 In Virginia thousands of ineligible voters were found to have cast ballots before being removed from the rolls. Just as it is important not to stop eligible citizens from voting, it is critical to prevent those who are ineligible from voting, whether as a result of error or fraud.

 Democracy will not survive, let alone thrive, without vigilant care. Every legal vote must count and not be diluted by illegal ballots.

  Ohio officials fulfilled their duty by pruning the state’s election roll.

The Supreme Court properly sustained them doing their job.

 Nevertheless, liberal groups sued, claiming that relying on the failure to vote violated federal law. Ohio prevailed in the District Court but lost at the appellate level.

 Justice Samuel Alito authored the majority opinion, which focused on statutory interpretation. He explained that the relevant federal statute “simply forbids the use of nonvoting as the sole criterion for removing a registrant, and Ohio does not use it that way.” Which means that the state did not violate federal law.

 The justice cited the dissent’s “alternative interpretation of the Failure-to-Vote clause, but that reading is inconsistent with both the text of the clause and the clarification of its meaning” in another section. Indeed, the dissenters believed that judges should overrule state policy based on their personal opinion of “reasonableness.” 

 Political activists and activist judges alike aren’t interested in understanding what the law is. They want to declare what the law should be.

 Justice Sonia Sotomayor complained that the majority ignored “the history of voter suppression.” Obviously, no serious person wants to repeat that experience. But as Justice Alito responded, she “has not pointed to any evidence in the record that Ohio instituted or has carried out its program with discriminatory intent.” He argued that she has a policy disagreement with Washington, not a legal disagreement with Ohio.

 Although Justice Clarence Thomas joined the majority to uphold the state’s action, he authored a concurring opinion which addressed important constitutional issues. He noted that “constitutional text and history” gave states exclusive authority to determine voter qualifications. Thus, the arguments advanced for overturning Ohio’s law “would seriously interfere with the States’ constitutional authority to set and enforce voter qualifications.” Congress is authorized to set rules governing when, where, and how people vote, not who can vote.

Trump's Deportation Squad Hits the Jackpot at Landscaping Company. 
  6/05/18  by: AAN Staff

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested 114 illegal aliens in a surprise raid at a Northern Ohio gardening and landscaping company this morning, marking the largest ICE worksite enforcement operation under the Trump administration.
  The operation was two-pronged and simultaneously carried out at Corso's Flower & Garden Center in Sandusky and in the neighboring town of Castalia. 
  Agents arrested employees and seized documents at both sites. Although no criminal charges have been filed against Corso itself, the company is under investigation for immigration and identity fraud violations.
 Tuesday's raid is part of a coordinated effort by the administration to investigate companies allegedly hiring illegal aliens or foreign workers without proper authorization. 
 Since President Trump's inauguration, ICE has executed several high-profile operations, including a nationwide audit of 7-Eleven convenience stores.
  Per The Hill:
 Corso's had reportedly been under investigation since last October. Steve Francis, an ICE official in Detroit, told the AP that the probe was launched after the arrest of a woman who handed out stolen identity documents to job applicants who were in the country illegally. That arrest reportedly led investigators to Corso's, where 123 employees were found to have suspicious records.

 “We verified that a lot of U.S. persons were obviously unaware of this. It’s caused them a lot of hardship,” Francis said. “It’s not one that we’re looking for strictly as a worksite immigration raid.”
 Today's arrests came two months after ICE agents executed the largest workplace raid in a decade at a Tennessee slaughterhouse.

 Hooray. See what real law enforcement can do! The entire Illegal scene is based on the theft and sale of illegal documents. Go online. You can get a passport for $10,000. Either someone with a passport will sell you theirs or you can get a really good fake passport. Etc. Etc. If Americans did this in a foreign country, we would be arrested, charged, prosecuted and eventually deported!

 The owners of Corso's Flower & Garden Center knew they were hiring criminal trespasser and should be prosecuted under The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. And go after landscape companies all over the country as most of them are also knowingly hiring criminal trespassers. Conduct raids at construction sites and day labor sites. Go to automotive body shops because they're all over those places too as they are in several other skilled jobs even though they are hacks. I remember a licensed electrician friend who went to a new school under construction to apply with the electrical contractor. Nobody spoke enough English to direct him to the right person. Makes me wonder about the quality of that work.The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. And people don't realize or don't care about the danger these unlicensed, criminal trespassers are putting their children in. And if you say anything nobody listens, at least nobody who in in charge listens. All they know is the work is being done on the cheap.
Going back to the landscapers, who is having their lawns landscaped? Mostly people with money because most working people do their own yard work. And those having the trespassers do their landscaping are too stupid to understand they're letting criminals wander around their property seeing what they and their neighbors have and usually the schedules when nobody is home. I know of one family whose garage was broken into and it was the neighbor's landscapers because this family did their own yard work. But what do I know, I'm just anti immigrant, as they say.

The oh so tolerant left has a nifty habit of reacting like children when it comes to Trump victories. The election and Inauguration of Trump gave America some of the best liberal freak-outs in existence. Check out these toddlers crying and destroying things because they didn’t get their way.

1. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

This gem was caught on tape during the inauguration of president Trump. What can we do other than laugh at this crybaby?

We know liberals have hated Starbucks Coffee ever since the “STARBUCKS SO WHITE” incident but looks like these Inauguration protesters were ahead of their time. Say goodbye to your local Starbuck because in 2020 after Trump wins re-election the same thing will happen!

2. Goodbye Starbucks"

We know liberals have hated Starbucks Coffee ever since the “STARBUCKS SO WHITE” incident but looks like these Inauguration protesters were ahead of their time. Say goodbye to your local Starbuck because in 2020 after Trump wins re-election the same thing will happen!

3. Media Compilation;

The media, the fake news media, is no fan of Trump. Watch this compilation of them having meltdowns over his election night victory! Explicit language is used, fair warning!

4. Liberals Attack Trump Supporter.

This good Samaritan was just trying to put out a trash can fire that liberals had lit in the street during the inauguration. They then proceed to attack him and steal his hat, watch how organized they are when they do it. Very fishy, almost like beating people up is normal behaviour for these losers?

5. clinton Camp’s Slow Collapse;

Watch as the clinton “Victory” party goes from happy happy happy to tears, just like a grouchy 2-year-old!

6. Liberals Destroy DC Because They Don’t Like Trump.

These Inauguration protesters smash car windows, Parking meters, and spray paint vulgarities on everything they see. Hope your car was locked up!
