NeverTrump Swamp Creatures Are Just as Dangerous as ProgDems

TODAY'S NEWS -- WE WILL SOON HAVE A SUPREME COURT NOMINEE, WHILE DEMOCRATS #WalkAway AND GOP #NeverTrumpers STILL RESIST. Foolishly. Because President Trump is the reason Democrats are walking out of their Party. • • • FOOLISH CONSERVATIVES RESIST TRUMP AGENDA. As Fox News put it last week, "the 'conservative' resistance continues against Trump, the man delivering all the conservative results." • Lauren DeBellis Appell wrote : "If President Trump’s next nominee to the Supreme Court to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy is anything like Justice Neil Gorsuch -- the President’s first nominee -- America will be getting another great Justice." • Well, President Trump will announce his nominee later on Monday evening. The announcement, whoever it is, should solidify conservative support for the President -- making the already-marginalized #NeverTrump faction of the GOP irrelevant. • Many conservatives say an important reason they voted for Donald Trump was because they believed he would nominate a solidly conservative justice to the Supreme Court. Exit polls in the 2016 presidential election showed 20% of voters cited the Supreme Court as “the most important factor” in deciding their vote, and 57% of these voters said they cast their ballots for candidate Trump. • With Neil Grosuch, Trump kept his campaign promise. Conservative Republicans should berejoicing. When the Court tossed out compulsory union dues for non-members in June, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell actually posted on Twitter a photo of nominee Gorsuch in the Oval Office shaking hands with him -- that is pretty heady stuff for the taciturn McConnell. • But, what is being ignored by the #NeverTrump Republicans in Congress is that President Trump has delivered conservative after conservative decision that should have the #NeverTrumpers dancing in the streets. Instead, we are subjected to professed conservatives in Congress opposing every Trump agenda item, some of them even to the point of openly hoping Democrats will win control of Congress in the November midterm elections. The irony, says Appell is : "that these self-proclaimed 'principled conservatives' can relate more to the far-left liberal crowd with their 'resist movement' than to the conservative base they claim to want to protect." • • • WHY WOULD CONSERVATIVES RESIST THESE TRUMP SUCCESSES? • In a year and a half, President Trump has cut taxes and rolled back regulations, leading to the lowest unemployment rate for African-Americans since records have been kept, the lowest recorded unemployment rate for Hispanics, and the lowest unemployment rate for women in two decades. THAT is certainly evidence that Trump is putting conservative principles into action. • President Trump has taken the US out of the Paris climate accords and out of the Iran nuclear deal. And, despite the hot-and-cold moments in Kim Jong-un's convictions about reforming, we should remember that one year ago North Korea was firing missiles over Japan, testing atomic bombs and threatening the United States. Today, prospects for peace and security along the Pacific Rim are real, because President – unlike his predecessors in both parties for the past 25 years – refused to go the extra mile. That is certainly evidence of Trump putting conservative principles inot action. • President Trump has nemed on Supreme Court Justice -- Neil Gorsuch -- a conservative judge who follows the Constitution, and who has said: “A judge who likes every outcome he reaches is very likely a bad judge, stretching for results he prefers, rather than those the law demands.” Trump seeks Justices who will adhere to the rule of law and the Constitution. Later in Monday, we will have the second Trump Supreme Court nomination, and we can be sure the nominee will be another conservatives Justice for the Supreme Court. In 2016, 57% of voters said the need to elect a President who would appoint conservative Supreme Court Justices was a key reason for voting for Donald Trump. Trump has kept his promise and THAT is certainly evidence that Trump is putting conservcative principles into action. • WHY do #NeverTrump Republicans continue to exist. Do they really think there is somebody out there in the GOP ranks who would be better than President Trump -- they haven't found anyone, and in fact the last GOP President as good as Trump was another outsider detested by the GOP elites, his name was Ronald Reagan. Do the #NeverTrumpers really believe that 90% of the Republican Party are wrong to vote for and support President Trump? The REAL QUESTION is -- are #NeverTrumpers really Republicans??? If the GOP #NeverTrump Swamp Creatures really wanted to stand up for conservative principles, they would be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with President Trump. Donald Trump stands for GOP conservative principles and the Constitution. What do #NeverTrumpers stand for? Do they agree with these Deep State attacks on American principles??? • • • KASICH DOES SOME DEEP STATE DIRTY WORK. Fox News reported last week that : "Ohio Governor John Kasich called out the Trump administration on Thursday following a report that some legal immigrants looking to pursue a path to citizenship through service in the United States Army have been abruptly discharged. Kasich called it 'yet another low' for the White House and said....Breaking faith with these members of our Armed Forces as this White House has decided to do is yet another low. This decision must be reversed now, for the sake of our military, to show that America keeps its word and to uphold the very values we claim to stand for." • Kasich was talking about an Associated Press report on Thursday that immigrants who enlisted in the army through a special program that offers a chance at citizenship were either booted without a reason, classified as a security threat or had yet to have a completed background check. Although the exact number is unclear, immigration attorneys told the AP that they know of at least 40 instances of immigrants being discharged or their status being changed. The program is restricted to legal immigrants with visas that provide them with lawful residency in the US. More than 5,000 were recruited into the program in 2016, while roughly 10,000 are currently serving, according to the AP. Spokespeople for the Pentagon and Army cited pending litigation when asked by the AP to provide further detail regarding the discharges or to address whether there has been a policy change. • Service members can become citizens by securing an honorable service designation, which could occur within days of attending boot camp. But the discharges have resulted in immigrants having their basic training delayed and thus threatening their naturalization. The immigrants were discharged from a program aimed at recruiting medical specialists and fluent speakers of different countries throughout the world. In 2002, President George W. Bush ordered “expedited naturalization” for immigrant soldiers, and seven years later the Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest program, or MAVNI, became an official recruiting program, according to the AP. The program was scrutinized by Republicans after President Barack Obama allowed DACA recipients [Note that DACA immigrants are not legal immigrants] to enlist, and it was subsequently suspended under the Trump Administration. Republican Congressman Andy Harris of Maryland told the AP that the program was never properly authorized by Congress, but established by an executive order. Just over 100,000 military personnel have earned citizenship through their service since Sept. 11, 2001, according to the Defense Department. Immigrant recruits are generally more cost-effective, while outperforming their colleagues in a wide array of areas, including attrition, education and promotions, according to a recently released review by the RAND Corporation, a nonprofit research institution. • But, any program that grants US citizenship to even a few illegal immigrants must have the appropriate vetting built in. Otherwise, America may find that there are "citizens" whose goal is not to suuport America but to destroy it. • • • HILLARY ATTACKS MELANIA INCOHERENTLY BUT FORGETS LITTLE ELIAN GONZALEZ. • Hillary Clinton, who never visited illegal-alien children when she was FLOTUS, criticized Melania Trump after her visit : “That, I have no idea. I have no idea. I can’t even...I don’t have any idea. I don’t know, ” Hillary told the Guardian; "I don’t know. I honestly don’t know.” Hillary seemed to be trying to talk about Melania’s $39 jacket. The mainstream media relentlessly pushed the Fake news that Mrs. Trump was saying she doesn’t care about the illegal-immigrant children even though her actions (i.e., her visit) showed otherwise. • Fox News said : "For the record, Melania visited 100% more border shelters than former first ladies Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, and Laura Bush." Twitter user Tiff pointedly noted: “All 3 of these ladies husbands’ policies separated families while putting children in cages.” Hillary also viciously attacked President Trump, calling his enforcement of decades-long federal immigration laws “cruel.” Fox News reminds us : "Keep in mind that Hillary said nothing when the Obama administration separated children from their illegal-immigrant parents during his eight years in office. Why didn’t Hillary do something when her former boss Obama separated migrant children from their illegal-alien parents? Hillary also ignored reports that the Obama administration beat and starved the kids when she was secretary of state. Clinton did nothing about the plight of migrant children when she was a US Senator from 2001 to 2009. As recently as 2014, Hillary demanded that illegal-alien kids be deported....Former president Barack Obama said the same thing in 2014." And, Hillary’s husband, former president Bill Clinton, treated one illegal-alien child to a SWAT kidnapping in Florida in 1999, and sent the child back to Cuba against his and his Cuban refugee father's will -- the goal was to require him to live with his mother. • The Miami Herald told the story in April, 2000 : "Armed with automatic weapons and firing occasional rounds of tear gas, federal agents seized Elian Gonzalez from the home of his Miami relatives before dawn Saturday. About 30 agents arrived at the home in white vans shortly after 5 a.m. and used rams on the chain-link fence and on the front door. A short time later, a woman brought Elian out of the home and put him in a van that drove away. Some of the approximately 100 protesters gathered at the home climbed over barricades to try to stop the agents. The agents, wearing Immigration and Naturalization Service shirts, shouted, 'Everybody move out of the way. Everybody get out of the way.' They fired tear gas in front of the home and behind barricades, before departing with the boy. 'The world is watching!' yelled Delfin Gonzalez, the brother of the little boy's caretaker and great-uncle, Lazaro Gonzalez. 'They were animals,' said Jess Garcia, a bystander. 'They gassed women and children to take a defenseless child out of here. We were assaulted with no provocation.' Carlos Saladrigas, a community leader in the home trying to negotiate a peaceful transfer of the boy, said the raid came as 'we were on the phone talking to [Attorney General Janet] Reno. We were in the house negotiating in good faith when we heard a noise and everyone started saying they are here,' said Saladrigas, chief executive officer of ADP Totalsource, an employer-services company. 'They pointed guns to our heads and released pepper spray. I've never felt so betrayed in my whole life. When the agents came in, everyone in the house started screaming and they couldn't believe this was happening.' Within an hour of the raid, the crowd in Little Havana quickly swelled to about 300. Some threw rocks, garbage cans and chairs at the agents. Elian was driven to Watson Island and then taken by helicopter to Homestead Air Reserve Base. He was put aboard a US Marshals aircraft for the flight to Andrews Air Force Base in Washington, DC, for an apparent reunion with his father. Ramon Saul Sanchez, the leader of the Democracy Movement, called for a work stoppage, but urged the crowd outside the house to avoid violence. No serious injuries were reported. Mayor Joe Carollo emotionally denounced the seizure of the boy. 'What they did was a crime,' he said. 'These are atheists. They don't believe in God. I feel I cannot trust this government.' The Miami family's attorneys, Manny Diaz and Kendall Coffey, were in the home during the raid. Coffey said he was 'ashamed' of the way the Justice Department for conducting the surprise raid. Reno told a press conference that the raid was justified. She said that she had attempted to negotiate a peaceful surrender of the child, and that negotiators had called her to make one more offer but that the call came 'after I had set the operation in motion. I tried till the final moment,' she said. Representatives of the Miami family said they thought progress was being made in the talks. Reno was at her office early this morning engaged in an extraordinary, long-distance negotiation that began Friday afternoon. The settlement was first proposed by civic leaders in Miami serving as intermediaries. Proposals and counterproposals flew through the night by telephone and facsimile machine between the Miami house, the Justice Department and the Washington office of the father's lawyer. All of that ended early today. Carlos Gonzalez said he and several others tried to form a human chain in front of the door but were forced back at gunpoint. The government and the boy's father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, insisted that any deal contain an immediate transfer of custody of Elian to him, but the Miami relatives have defied Reno's order switching custody. These relatives have cared for him since he was found clinging to an inner tube in the Atlantic after a boat carrying his mother and other Cubans capsized, killing her and 10 others. They and the Cuban exiles in the street do not want the boy returned to a Cuba ruled by Fidel Castro, whom they fled. The deal under discussion called for Juan Miguel Gonzalez and Elian, Lazaro and his daughter, Marisleysis, to move to one of two foundation-owned conference centers near Washington -- either Wye Plantation, a center on Maryland's Eastern shore that has been used for Mideast peace conferences, or Airlie House near Warrenton, Va., according to a government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The plan called for formal custody to transfer immediately from the Miami relatives to the boy's Cuban father, but it was not clear that the relatives had accepted that, the official said. Another sticking point was the length of the joint occupation of the compound. The intermediaries proposed that all family members stay until a court appeal is completed, in late May at the earliest. But Juan Miguel Gonzalez faxed a counterproposal back in late evening that called for a much shorter joint stay, the official said. Reno, Immigration Commissioner Doris Meissner and other officials waited in Reno's Justice Department office past midnight for the relatives' reply to the counterproposal. The Miami relatives lost a US District Court battle to get a political asylum hearing for Elian. An appeals court has ordered Elian to stay in this country until it hears that case, but did not bar Reno from switching custody. Reno met for 15 minutes Friday at the Justice Department with Juan Miguel Gonzalez. During the emotional session, the father said he had a very good 25-minute telephone conversation with his son on Thursday, the government official said. He also asked Reno to give him a date certain when he would get his son back. But afterward, Reno said she told him 'that I could not commit to a particular course of action or timetable.' " On June 28, 200, Juan Miguel Gonzalez and his son Elian boarded their jet at Dulles International Airport on their way to Havana. • Does Hillary remember any of that heinous episode?? • • • ERIC HOLDER WANTS TO SAVE MUELLER FROM CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT. Restore American Glory reported on June 30 that : "Eric Holder, who made a name for himself as one of the most disgraceful, untethered-to-the-law men to ever hold the top position at the Justice Department, is apparently getting really nervous about what House Republicans might find in their investigation of the DOJ and the FBI. Holder, who is still in close contact with his former boss, Barack Obama, took to Twitter on Friday to demand that 'unprincipled' Republicans immediately stop looking into the evidence that shows the Obama DOJ abused the FISA system and illegally spied on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election. Gee, you think Holder’s a little bit afraid of what might be coming out of this investigation? You think his pal Obama is a wee bit concerned that Republicans are going to figure out who gave the FBI their marching orders? Hmmm..." • Holder’s warning came as House lawmakers turned up the heat on Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray. Angry in a very hot committee confrontation in which Trey Gowdy shredded Rosenstein. Republicans are now demanding either that the DOJ end the Mueller investigation immediately or start cooperating with Congress. If Rosenstein ignores both, there could be serious Washington fireworks over the summer. Republicans (and the American people) have had it with Mueller, a DOJ that refuses to accept the Congress has any oversight authority, and Rosenstein, who smeers at every House or Seante attempt to understand his actions. • GOP lawmakers also grilled disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok for ten hours in a closed-door hearing, during which Strzok was apparently told by FBI counsel not to answer any questions about the origin of the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation. It was yet another example of how desperate the DOJ is to hide the truth about what it was, exactly, that caused them to begin investigating the Trump campaign in the first place. Resotre American Glory says : "Every time Republicans get closer to this truth, Democrats start falling apart. In an effort to confuse the public about a very simple, constitutional fact -- that Congress has the right and responsibility to exercise oversight in regards to the Department of Justice and the rest of the Executive Branch -- they accuse Republicans of trying to thwart justice and run interference for President Trump. Almost as if they are colluding with the Justice Department in an effort to keep information away from the American people." For Eric Holder, the idea of congressional oversight is a non-starter. He refused congressional subopenas, lied ot Congress, and was held in contempt -- all to no avail. Nothing happened to him. Now, Holder says : "The unprecedented disclosure of ongoing investigative material, FISA and national security documents to the complicit and unprincipled House Republicans sets a dangerous precedent and impacts the Mueller inquiry. It must stop. Lines have to be drawn.” • Right, Eric. How about drawing a line under the Obama era outlawry and going home to hide in shame. Congress has constitutional duties, no matter what Holder thinks. For example, it’s still not clear that Mueller’s appointment is constitutional. • • • WHAT HAVE THE PROGDEMS DONE FOR AMERICA LATELY? There's a lot to be absolutely WORRIED about. • TeaParty.org reported last week on the InfoWars article that stated : "President Trump may be about to drop the hammer on Robert Mueller by exposing his role in helping to cover-up Saudi Arabia’s role in 9/11. Mueller has been involved in the systematic cover-up of the true circumstances behind 9/11 since day one, which is why he has been a constant roadblock to victim’s families who are attempting to seek compensation from Saudi Arabia for their role in the attacks. During an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show last night, attorney for 9/11 victim’s families Jim Kreindler said that rush to war with Iraq meant that the Saudi connection to 9/11 needed to be buried and Mueller was instrumental in making this happen. This is why the Bush administration allowed prominent Saudis, including members of the Bin Laden family, to leave the country even as flights were grounded nationwide. He underscored how George W. Bush was 'good friends with the Saudi ambassador, who....gave $25,000 to one of the government agents who were helping Hosni and Mihdhar, the two terrorists. There was this huge body of evidence that Saudi government officials prepared for the hijackers’ arrival, helped them, got them money, English lessons, safe houses and apartments, and provided the aid without which it would have been impossible, according to the FBI agents who were working the case, for the terrorists to succeed,” said Kreindler. The attorney stressed that instead of investigating this story, Mueller covered it up." Kreindler told Tucker Carlson : "Interrogations were shut down, documents have been kept secret,” said Kreindler, adding that the cover-up continued under Obama and then FBI Director James Comey. 9/11 families are now demanding that the documents related to the cover-up, overseen by Mueller, be immediately declassified by President Trump. Amnesty for all FBI agents who were ordered to oversee the cover-up but can now blow the whistle on Mueller is also being considered. As the Washington Examiner as reported, former Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., who chaired the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence at the time, said Mueller directly intervened to bury any Saudi connection. 'Graham stated that Mueller personally intervened to cut off further inquiry regarding Saudi assistance to the hijackers in California. In an interview with Harper’s from October 2017, Graham stated that Mueller made a series of objections to having terrorist specialist and former FBI lawyer Michael Jacobson visit San Diego to see if there was a possible Saudi connection to the hijackers. When Jacobson discovered that the hijackers were close to an FBI informant named Abdussattar Shaikh, he demanded to speak to him -- but Mueller refused and moved Shaikh to an undisclosed location “for his safety.' As head of the 400 FBI agent team in L.A. investigating the attacks, former FBI agent Stephen K. Moore also confirmed Saudi complicity in 9/11." • ABC News reported last week that : "Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul said police have arrested a man who threatened to chop up his family with an ax. 'This man had threatened to kill me and chop up my family with an ax,' Paul said during an interview at a Rotary Club event in Kentucky. 'It’s just horrendous that we’re having to deal with things like this,' Paul said, adding that over the last year, he was physically assaulted by his neighbor while doing lawn work in his front yard, and he was also 'shot at' during a Congressional baseball practice last June. 'I’ve had a year where it’s becoming more and more aware that we have these real threats out there,' Paul said. In the interview, Paul said he now has 24/7 security at his side. 'I can’t go anywhere without security. I can’t even go to church without being worried about someone being there. The whole country needs to take a step back. Look, I never have had a cross word with Democrats. People need to not think our political differences have to end in violence,' Paul said." • The Epoch Times reported lst week that : "President Donald Trump has responded to comments from a prominent Iranian official who accused the Obama administration of sweetening its Iran nuclear deal by granting American citizenship to thousands of Iranians, including relatives of officials. 'Just out that the Obama Administration granted citizenship, during the terrible Iran Deal negotiation, to 2,500 Iranians -- including to government officials. How big (and bad) is that?' Trump stated in a July 3 tweet. The claim was recently made by Hojjat al- Islam Mojtaba Zolnour, chairman of Iran’s parliamentary nuclear committee and a member of its national security and foreign affairs committee. When Obama was negotiating the Iran deal, 'he granted citizenship to 2,500 Iranians, and some officials started a competition over whose children could be part of these 2,500 Iranians,' Zolnour said in an interview with Iranian newspaper Etemad, published on June 26....Zolnour, who was a deputy representative of the Supreme Leader to the Revolutionary Guard during the Iran deal negotiations, said he didn’t know who the officials were and whether if they were only from the current Iranian administration of President Hassan Rouhani....'I am all for transparency and believe that it has to be announced which of these officials’ children live in the United States and are residents or citizens. Especially given the fact that about 30 to 40 of them are studying abroad and the rest are enjoying life with [Iranian] people’s money. All of this has to come to light.' The US State Department declined to comment. 'We’re not going to comment on every statement by an Iranian official,' a spokesperson told Fox News. The Department of Homeland Security also declined to comment. A month ago, Iranian Voice of America journalist Ali Javanmardi started a Change.org petition asking Trump to deport children of Iranian officials. 'We, signatories of this petition, kindly request you to issue an order to deport the children of the high ranking officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran who have entered the US in different ways,' the descriptions states. 'Children of those who burn the US flag and chant ‘Down to the United States’ slogans every day do not deserve to live in the US and enjoy life and freedom in this country.' The petition has garnered more than 115,000 signatures." Zolnour mentioned citizenships, but it would have been more likely for the Obama administration to offer permanent residency (green cards), which provide a path to future naturalization. More than 13,100 people born in Iran received green cards in 2015 and another 13,300 in 2016, according to the Department for Homeland Security data. In 2015, over 10,300 Iranians became naturalized citizens with more than 9,500 in 2016. The Iran deal was negotiated by the administration of former President Obama and....promoted by Obama as "the best option” to (temporarily) keep Iran from wielding nuclear arms. Beyond that, Obama painted a picture of an Iran “rejoining the community of nations” upon being granted sanctions relief. What we are seeing is justt he opposite. Iran announced a 150% increase in its military budget last year and is developing long-range missiles, armed drones, and cyber-warfare capabilities -- all while putting to use some of the up to $150 billion in assets abroad that had previously been frozen due to sanctions. And, on April 30, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented what he said were Iranian documents, obtained in a daring Israeli intelligence operation, that prove Iran had been developing nuclear weapons before the 2015 deal was signed....Additionally, a Senate report has charged that the Obama administration secretly, illegally, and unsuccessfully tried to give Iran access to the US financial system to aid it in transferring $5.7 billion in assets out of an Omani bank. The Obama administration also derailed a yearslong law enforcement campaign against Hezbollah’s massive international drug trafficking operation, “even as it was funneling cocaine into the United States,” according to an in-depth Politico report last year. • • • BUT THE DUMBEST PROGDEM PLAN COMES FROM DICK DURBIN. Fox News reported on Sunday that : "Just one day before President Trump is set to announce his pick to replace retiring Supreme Court Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy in a primetime address from the White House, a top Democratic Senator suggested that stopping the nominee is more important than the upcoming midterm elections. Senator Dick Durbin of illinois, acknowledged that so-called red-state Democrats may be tempted to vote for Trump's selection out of political necessity, but urged his colleagues Sunday to consider more than their political careers. 'Beyond the procedure, beyond the gamesmanship, it is a life-and-death important decision to be made by this court on so many issues,' the Senate minority whip said on NBC's Meet the Press. 'The men and women that I work with on the Democratic side really take this seriously," he added, after host Chuck Todd raised the possibility that Democrats could lose their bid to retake the Senate by opposing the nominee. 'They understand it's an historic decision. It's about more than the next election. It's about what future the United States of America is going to chart. They understand it's an historic decision. It's about more than the next election.' " • • • DEAR READERS, there is a lot of self-defeating, anti-American chaos in the Democrat Party right now. But, Senator Dick Durbin's idea about sacrificing Senate seats to "save" the Surpeme Court seat now vacant is really the height of stupidity. What if West Virginia's Joe Manchin, North Dakota's Heidi Heitkamp, and Indiana's Joe Donnelly decided to alienate their constituents by voting to halt a conservative Supreme Court nominee. First, it might not work even before the November elections because the GOP's slim Senate majority might stick together and get Trump's nominee approved. BUT, what if the three Democrat Senators fell on their ProgDem swords and thereby stopped the Trump nominee from being approved. THEN WHAT?? Well, the Supreme Court would sit on its hands, so to speak, and the October session would hear cases but not decide many. Meanwhile, most likely, the three Democrat Senators would lose in their re-election bids, and Republicans would be elected. THUS, come January, 2019, the GOP would have more Senators -- certainly enough for the simple majority vote needed to approve any Trump Supreme Court nominee. And, Dick Durbin, the Pea-Brain -- who obviously never took either math or logic classes during his education -- would have led the Dems over the cliff. The Republicans would have a larger majority -- any Trump Supreme Court nominee would be handily approved -- and Dick Durbin might even have caused the Democrat Senate minority to lose its filibuster power. That is REALLY dumb politics. But, it's very, very "Democrat" right now.
