Mueller got his convictions on Manafort. It's not Russia, it's not collusion  and it's not  during  anytime he was connected to Trump,  but it makes Trump look bad by association. Cohen pleaded guilty, says he was told to break laws. If there is something there that implicates Trump, we don't know it yet. Duncan Hunter and his wife were indicted for using campaign funds for personal purposes. These kinds of stories  make  Republicans  and all elected officials look bad and Power at the moment is with the Republicans. It was an exciting if not giddy day on liberal radio and TV yesterday. The gang on PBS NewsHour could barely contain themselves, "These are serious crimes".

Meanwhile, their policies don't work.

Monkey with and monkey around are expressions that go way back and have nothing to do with race.

Candidate Obama in 2008:  “I come from Chicago. It’s not as if it’s just Republicans who have monkeyed around with elections in the past. Sometimes Democrats have, too. You know, whenever people are in power, they have this tendency to try to tilt things in their direction.”

Was Obama being racist? It's hard to tell guerrilla from gorilla in audio but what is a gorilla tactic in tennis? Good grief.

Meanwhile, Andrew Gillum wants massive taxpayer funding for an organization that aborts (kills) black unborn at five times the rate of white unborn. He supports not just the right to do that but funding to do more of that. Which candidate is racist?

As GM wrote, their race card is maxed out.

Even in this article admitting that his support has doubled with blacks (and perhaps 7 times greater than previous Republicans), their point is to diminish other polls that show even stronger support. They refer to live interview polls as higher quality, but the actual voting booth tends to be anonymous like the polls they are slamming.

When one person switches sides, that is a two-point move. When the movement happens at this fast pace pace with the strongest, most reliable part of your base, that must be scary.

CNN's way of reporting the 30% black Trump support poll is to wait and cite polls they believe prove it wrong, rather than report news as it come out.

In what recent election was Quinnipiac more accurate than Rasmussen? Only in a democratic wave and that last happened in 2006, 2008. Higher quality? Not really.

We are very lucky to have a president calling out fake news. Their reaction to it should be to get their act together instead of to fight back proving him right.

Flashback: Whoopi Goldberg Tied McCain to Slavery’s Return
   
By Christian Toto | September 1, 2018 1:30 PM EDT
Whoopi Goldberg led a celebrity wave of tributes to Sen. John McCain this weekend.

Actors, who spend most of their online efforts slamming conservatives, took a pause to mourn McCain’s passing at the age of 81.

Goldberg’s tribute was clear, concise and heartfelt.

 



 

It’s a rare moment when ideological foes drop their weapons.

Only she wasn’t always so magnanimous toward the Arizona senator. Consider his appearance on The View circa September 2008. The presidential campaign was in full swing, and Sen. McCain had selected Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate.

That led to a debate about the Constitution. Sen. McCain said he preferred Supreme Court justices who strictly interpreted the Constitution. It’s a familiar position for most right-leaning souls, including President Donald Trump.

It’s hardly an out of bounds take. Goldberg saw it differently.

“Did you say you wanted strict constitutionalists? Should I worry about being a slave? A return to slavery? Because there are things in the Constitution that (should have changed.)”

That was beyond the pale then, and it drew some headlines. Today, reporters, liberal pundits and Hollywood types routinely slam GOP members, including President Trump, as white nationalists eager for slavery’s return.

How times have changed, or so one would think.

Vice President Joe Biden evidently agreed with Goldberg’s fears. During the 2012 presidential race Biden warned a mixed race audience the GOP ticket’s Wall Street schemes would “put you all back in chains.”

It's possible she didn't read into it as far as Article 5 that defines the amendment process and the 14th amendment that repealed slavery.

I don't think the Left would support the living Constitution theory, Define it any way we want to approach if it was the right governing by judicial activism.

Serena was treated differently because she was a woman.  Her opponent whose historic victory  she stepped on was also a woman, but didn't break a racquet or holler or berate the official.

The 20 million dollar athlete Serena bullied an Umpire who makes $600 per match. Isn't she courageous. The Umpire stole the match from her but her opponent outplayed her in the view of everyone watching and evidenced by the scoreboard.

Women make equal prize money to men in the US Open but play two out of three sets instead of three out of five, sometimes a little over an hour versus 5 hours. Ironically, if Serena really is the better player, she would have won a three out of five set contest and she wouldn't have been so panicked at losing a point or a game in the second set.

Colin Kaepernick will make 20 million with Nike and the child laborers who make the shoes will make $0.06(?) per hour. This is a victory for social justice? Whose social justice is he fighting for? He fights the country and the game that made him and all he gets for it is money. The more that he fights and wins, the more that the black-on-black murder rate goes up. Cognitive dissonance of the left.

Male-to-Female Transgender Placed in Women's Prison, and You Won't Believe What Happens Next

Among the folks I talk with, we've been plotting to declare ourselves Transwomen the moment the fascist leftist government the NeverTrumpers are eager to empower come to round us all up.

So no one could have seen this coming, except for everyone.

A transgender woman serving time at an all-female UK prison sexually assaulted four inmates at the facility, according to new reports.
Convicted sex offender Karen White, 52, who was born a man and identifies as a woman, confessed this week to two counts of sexual touching at New Hall Prison, in Wakefield, The Sun reported. She denied the two other counts, according to the report.

All of the assaults happened last year, between September and November, prosecutors said.

During her hearing a Leeds Crown Court, she also pleaded guilty to the rape of a woman back in August 2003, when she went by her male name, Stephen Wood, according to the Telegraph.

She was also jailed back in 2001 for assault and gross indecency with a child, according to the Sun.

Tim Pool, who leans left on sexual issues, proposes a moderate theory here: This man (calling himself a woman) previously raped a woman while already "transitioning" to become a woman. Thus, in this particular case, the danger of this man-now-saying-he's-a-woman raping a woman was already pre-established.

You'd never, Pool says, put a male rapist in a prison for women; why would you change the rule for a transgender man-transitioned-to-woman who was raping women even as he claimed to be becoming a woman? The dude's strength advantage over actual women and his previous history of raping women make this too much of a hazard to actual female prisoners.

Maybe, he says, such people should be put in a special transgender lock-up. But, of course, the transgender lobby calls such special accomodations "transphobic" and insist on transgenders being treated in all ways and in all situations as the sex they claim to be.

To make sure the Latinos get out and vote (the ones who can vote in Federal elections) got to make Trump look like he "let" thousands of Puerto Ricans die.

So they extrapolate to inflate the number.

Compare to Hurricane Sandy when Baraq was President.  No such extrapolation as far as I can tell:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Sandy 

If there was such a difference it had nothing to do with Trump but with incompetence on the island  and maybe the competence of Christie as governor.

Tons of Water Sent to Puerto Rico's Hurricane Maria Victims Was Never Distributed

By KEVIN KELLEHER September 12, 2018
The United States is bracing for another hurricane season as Florence spirals toward the Eastern seaboard. And yet instances of the inadequate response to the destructive storms of 2017 are still coming to light. A vast shipment of water bottles that were intended to be delivered to victims of 2017’s destructive Hurricane Maria appear to be still sitting, unused one year later, on a runway in Ceiba, Puerto Rico.

Abdiel Santana, a member of a Puerto Rican police agency tasked with emergency response, shared photos on Facebook of a vast number of boxes covered in blue tarp on an airport runway. The boxes, Santana said, were delivered before Maria’s arrival. “Will there be someone who can explain this?” he wrote in the Facebook post.


Santana’s photos began to go viral on the same day that President Trump called his administration’s response to Maria an “incredible, unsung success.” Data contradicts that assessment. Puerto Rico officials have estimated the death toll from Maria at 2,975 people. Other, independent estimates place the number at 1,270 and 5,740, with financial damages from the storm exceeding $100 billion in damage and some rural residents still lacking power.

A CBS reporter who picked up on the viral photos of the unused water bottles confirmed that they were brought to the island and turned over to Puerto Rico’s central government. “If [FEMA] put that water on that runway there will be hell to pay,” an unnamed senior FEMA official told CBS. “If we did that, we’re going to fess up to it.” CBS said that the number of unused water bottles could be in the millions.

Santana told CBS that he also took pictures of the water bottles last fall, although he has not posted them. While FEMA is blaming the Puerto Rico government for dropping the ball, a Puerto Rican official claimed that distributing the water to Maria’s victims was FEMA’s responsibility.

While the finger-pointing won’t do much to help Maria’s victims or prepare for a new round of Atlantic storms, the incident is not the first instance of emergency-relief supplies not receiving those who needed them. Last month, the New York Times reported that 10 trailers of food and other supplies were found rotting in a parking lot in Puerto Rico, where they were devoured by rats.

KEITH ELLISON ACCUSER, KAREN MONAHAN, SAYS DEMOCRATIC PARTY DOESN’T BELIEVE HER
12:39 PM 09/17/2018
Hanna Bogorowski | Reporter





Karen Monahan, the woman who accused Minnesota Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison of domestic abuse, said Monday that the Democratic Party does not believe her.
Monahan also wrote on Twitter that she’s been threatened and isolated by her own Democratic Party.
Her comments were made in contrast to the immediate attention Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser has received.
Karen Monahan, the woman accusing Minnesota Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison of domestic abuse, responded to a Twitter user on Monday who asked if Democrats believe Monahan’s allegations, saying they don’t, and that she’s been threatened and isolated from her own party.

The user was following up on a tweet about Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault.

Peter Daou, a Democratic strategist and former advisor to Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, tweeted on Monday that Ford will be “attacked, smeared, and demonized” and that people must “BELIEVE WOMEN.”

A Twitter user named Rose responded to Daou’s tweet, saying, “Democrats say believe women, do they believe you….” in reference to Monahan, who claims Ellison violently dragged her off a bed and yelled “Bitch, get the f*** out of my house” in a heated argument the couple allegedly had in 2016.

“No, they [Democrats] don’t,” Monahan responded back. “I’ve been smeared, threatened, isolated from my own party.”

Monahan has not appeared to receive the same international attention that other women have received in recent months as more women come forward with allegations against a number of men, from Harvey Weinstein to Missouri Republican Gov. Eric Greitens to President Donald Trump.

“Four people, including my supervisor at the time, stated that I came to them after and shared the exact story I shared publicly, I shared multiple text between me and Keith, where I discuss the abuse with him and much more,” Monahan continued on Twitter.

“As I said before, I knew I wouldn’t be believed.”

Daou is just one of many who have aired their support for Ford, who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of attempting to drunkenly force himself onto her during at a party in high school, according to reports first issued by The New Yorker on Friday.

The allegation came one day after Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California released a vague statement referring to possible misconduct in Kavanaugh’s past. (RELATED: Kavanaugh Breaks Silence After Sexual Assault Allegation)

Calls to delay voting on Kavanaugh, which was set for Thursday, have been growing since Ford came public with her previously anonymous accusation.

Some Republicans said the timing is a political attempt to derail Kavanaugh rather than a sincere effort to address sexual assault, as the allegation is from nearly 35 years ago.

Monahan has insisted her decision to come forward against Ellison, who is also deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), has no political ulterior motive and is for her own personal freedom and to help other survivors.

“I have nothing to prove to anyone, I simply shared my story. People can believe it or not. I don’t need anyone to affirm my humanity, I affirmed it,” she tweeted.

Tom Perez, chairman of the DNC, almost immediately called for an investigation into the allegations against Kavanaugh, but he has largely evaded the allegations against Ellison.

A thorough investigation is needed, Perez said Sunday.

The DNC announced on Aug. 14 that it would review the Ellison accusations, but has yet to announce the results of said review.

Another contrast is seen from Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who said he had “nothing” to say about the Ellison allegation when asked on Aug. 16, however, days after the Kavanaugh accusations surfaced, Sanders spoke up.

“The allegation from Professor Christine Blasey Ford is a serious one that deserves a full investigation,” he wrote on Twitter Sunday.

The Daily Caller News Foundation reached out to Monahan and will update if a response is received.

Ellison has denied allegations of abuse against Monahan.

Is It ‘Hate Speech’ to Tell the Truth?
ROBERT STACY MCCAIN
October 31, 2018, 12:05 am

Democrats and their media allies seek to silence their critics.
Americans are no longer a free people, if debate on major public-policy issues is effectively criminalized, which is what the Democrats and their allies are attempting to do with regard to our immigration policy. We are now being told in effect that it is “hate speech” to express opposition to the open-borders agenda of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and such of their billionaire donors as George Soros. Democrats and their media allies have recently taken to declaring that it is a “dog whistle” of racism and anti-Semitism for any Republican even to mention the name of Soros in connection with the immigration issue. If you don’t think the United States should throw open its borders to welcome the caravan of Honduran migrants now headed north through Mexico, and if you call attention to how Democrats are cheering on this horde of would-be foreign invaders, well, you must be some kind of Nazi who wants to kill Jews. Or at least that’s the general drift of liberal rhetoric in the final week of the midterm election campaign.

CNN has spent the past few days insinuating that the gunman who murdered 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue was incited to this act by President Trump. Republicans are not allowed to object to CNN’s one-sided coverage, however, because Florida madman Cesar Sayoc also hated CNN, and therefore anyone who criticizes the network is deemed a potential threat to public safety. Between the Pittsburgh shooter and the Florida bomber, basically anything said in favor of Republicans (or against Democrats) is now considered “hate speech” in the eyes of liberals. This is especially the case when it comes to immigration. Ever since the migrant caravan set off from Honduras, announcing their intention to march all the way to the United States, Democrats have been accusing the GOP of “exploiting” the issue. What are Republicans supposed to do? Pretend they don’t notice the lawless intentions of these so-called “refugees”?

After Mexican officials tried to stop the migrants by blocking a bridge across the Suchiate River at the Mexico-Guatemala border, they crossed the river illegally on rafts. “No one will stop us, only God,” a migrant named Olivin Castellano told an Associated Press reporter. “We knocked down the door and we continue walking.” Perhaps God will not stop this invasion, but the U.S. Army has a duty to defend the country, and Trump has ordered so many troops to the border that the deployment for “Operation Faithful Patriot” will exceed the U.S. force serving in Syria. And while these troops prepare to defend our border, CNN continues an around-the-clock propaganda campaign that accuses the Commander-in-Chief of inciting criminal violence.

Phrases like “hateful rhetoric” and “white nationalist” are part of the CNN script, conveying to the network’s viewers the idea that President Trump is responsible for the acts of deranged kooks like Sayoc, the steroid-addled Florida mail-bomber, and Robert Bowers, the high-school dropout who committed the Pittsburgh massacre. Never mind that Bowers denounced Trump by name in one of his anti-Semitic online screeds, and never mind that Sayoc is a mentally ill former male stripper whose bombs never exploded — no, these two lunatics must have acted on coded signals from Trump, the CNN viewer is led to believe. And then there is the problem of Soros, who was among the intended recipients of one of Sayoc’s non-exploding bombs.

George Soros has been a major funder of much of the institutional infrastructure the Left has built during the past 20 years. David Horowitz’s site Discover the Networks says that “a strong case can be made for the claim that Soros today affects American politics and culture more profoundly that any other living person.” Such organizations as Media Matters for America are beneficiaries of Soros’s vast wealth. While the total of his political expenditures over the years is perhaps beyond calculation, it is known that between 2003 and 2011, for example, Soros spent more than $48 million to fund media properties. Given his enormous influence on the Left, it is understandable that conservatives suspect that Soros is behind every allegedly “grassroots” left-wing activist group. It’s not a paranoid conspiracy, but a documented fact that, for example, the Black Lives Movement received more than $30 million from Soros’s tax-exempt organizations. Likewise, it has been documented that so-called “Antifa” groups, implicated in riots in Berkeley and elsewhere, got money from Soros-funded foundations. And it should surprise no one that Soros has spent many millions in support of an open-borders immigration agenda.

“Soros’s agenda is fundamentally about the destruction of national borders,” researchers David Galland and Stephen McBride wrote in a 2016 article titled “How George Soros Singlehandedly Created The European Refugee Crisis — And Why.” Galland and McBride documented the involvement of Soros’s Open Society Foundation in the crisis that flooded Europe with millions of Muslim migrants. When Hungary’s prime minister Viktor Orban took action to halt the influx of “refugees” into his country and named Soros as the sponsor of this invasion, Soros responded: “[Orban’s] plan treats the protection of national borders as the objective and the refugees as an obstacle. Our plan treats the protection of refugees as the objective and national borders as the obstacle.”

This was a startling admission, and it is clear that Soros also views America’s borders as an “obstacle” to his plans. In their book The Shadow Party, Horowitz and his co-author Richard Poe explained that a massive 2006 pro-amnesty rally in Los Angeles involved no fewer than eight groups funded by Soros, including the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF) and the National Council of La Raza. As for the current migrant caravan from Honduras, it is being supported by the so-called “CARA Family Detention Pro Bono Project,” a coalition of four organizations, three of which receive funding from — you guessed, didn’t you? — George Soros.

To identity Soros as the sponsor of this open-borders agenda, however, is to be guilty of hate, as explained last week in a Washington Post headline: “Conspiracy theories about Soros aren’t just false. They’re anti-Semitic.” You will not be surprised to learn that the author of that article, Talia Levin, works for Media Matters, which is funded by Soros. Levin previously worked at the New Yorker, but was fired in June after falsely accusing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent of having a Nazi tattoo (the agent, it turned out, is a Marine Corps combat veteran who lost both legs in Afghanistan). So here we have a Soros-funded writer declaring in the pages of the Washington Post that it is an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory to say that Soros is doing what he’s actually doing.

In other words, telling the truth is now “hate speech.”

You could get banned from social media for mentioning Soros’s role in promoting left-wing causes, thanks to a new effort to pressure tech companies to “reduce hateful activities on their platforms.” Guess who’s funding that effort? Yes — George Soros.

It is not yet illegal to tell the truth, however, and Republicans trying to prevent a Democrat takeover of Congress are telling the truth while it’s still legal. An ad targeting a Minnesota Democrat begins: “Prima donna athletes protesting our anthem. Left-wing mobs paid to riot in the streets. Billionaire George Soros bankrolls the resistance — and Dan Feehan.” That ad was denounced by liberals as anti-Semitic, of course, but Feehan’s not Jewish and the ad says nothing about Soros being Jewish either. The Left keeps hearing dog whistles of hate that are inaudible to the rest of us, which makes you wonder who the dogs really are.

Last night on CNN, Chris Cuomo denounced Republicans as proponents of “xenophobia” and every other species of hate, while simultaneously accusing the GOP of “demonizing” its opponents. Who is demonizing whom? Cuomo and his media comrades have spent the past two years accusing Trump of being Hitler, thus implying that the nearly 63 million Americans who voted for Trump are Nazis. If that’s not demonization, what is? Is it wrong for Americans to expect that their President should protect them from an invasion of hostile foreigners? Do citizens have no right to complain about the billionaire who’s funding the horde from Honduras? Is it impermissible to debate our immigration policy?

Here’s some news from yesterday: “Mexican authorities arrested two Hondurans who allegedly shot at federal police officers escorting the migrant caravan across the southern state of Chiapas. The attack follows shortly after government warnings about Molotov cocktail attacks around a second caravan near the border with Guatemala.” CNN didn’t report that story, for some reason.

Two days ago, CNN’s Jim Acosta wrote on Twitter: “We are not the enemy of the people. I am not your enemy. You are not my enemy. It is wrong to call your fellow Americans the enemy. We are all on the same team. We are all Americans.” This was a lie, of course. If you vote Republican, you’re not on “the same team” as CNN. They consider you their enemy, because you refuse to acknowledge their authority to tell you what to think and how to vote. This is the real “hate” problem in America — the media elite’s hatred of anyone who disagrees with them.

NYT: A Huge Number of Hate Crimes Are Committed Against Jews in NYC, But They're Committed by Muslims and Minorities So We Liberals Don't Give a Shit
An entire article about how the problem of antisemitic attacks in New York City is not due to the left's only permissible Villain of Straight White Republican Men, and yet the article's top-rated comment is nevertheless: "Donald Trump has amplified hate and given it his stamp of approval. He's a disgrace."

A cute euphemism they employ is saying the attacks "do not conform to an easy narrative," which I take for code for, "The narrative is pretty straightforward and clear, but we don't like it, so it's not 'easy' for us to admit."

"hearing dog whistles in everything (though actually we can't hear dog whistles)"

Funny.  I guess they are calling their opponents dogs right while terms like apes and monkeys are way off limits.  They are also saying their opponents are all already racists and just need to be called.  If it's something they can't hear or see, how come they keep pointing it out?

I have never heard her say anything that was of any substance, or meaning , or significance .
Yet they keep paying her to be on:

I wonder what the Left would say about caravans if 90% of these people and their kids where future Republican voters.

 Republicans are trying to stave off this country from being a one party fascist socialist state with total government control and loss of all our freedoms to the elites is the main reason to stop the endless illegals not racism not because we don't like immigrants but because we don't want to be dominated forever in every way possible by a power hungry corrupt American destroying Left.

And the Right should also stop just focusing on caravans.  Not all illegals are walking over the boarder.

They are flooding from Asia , Africa, the Caribbean ,  S America, Middle East.
