Dem Sen. Tammy Baldwin Stumbles When CNN Anchor Asks If Obama Family Separation "Outraged" Her

The answer she never gets around to giving is "no", she never called out immigration procedures under Obama. Because if she DID admit the truth, then she'd be admitting what most on my side have been saying all week; that this crisis is only being discussed to brighten the political fortunes for the Democrats this fall. Fortunes that were looking more and more grim over the past couple weeks. And the most curious part of this nonsensical rambling is that Baldwin eventually comes around to saying how Congress needs to work together to solve this. Which is the exact OPPOSITE of what Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer said earlier this week. Because he knows that the Democrats stand to benefit more from the problem, so a solution from Congress is actually the LAST thing he wants. I simply do not buy any Democrat politician suddenly finding religion on this matter. They're not credible, and that point can not be proved any better than Tammy Baldwin, Democrat Senator from Wisconsin.

Schumer rejects GOP proposal to address border crisis

We'll see where this all ends up, of course, but experience has taught me that the Democrats don't really care about ending suffering at the southern border when they clearly believe that they benefit from it. Why would they want that to end, especially in an election year? They're campaigning on it and raising far too much money from the problem to even consider working towards a solution!! Perhaps the greatest irony is that Schumer actually suggests that the president should unilaterally change things on his own. In other words, disregard the judicial ruling that states children should be separated and only follow the laws and rulings that he likes. We just went through eight years of that. If Trump was that kind of tyrant, he'd have told the circuit courts to shove it and implement his travel restrictions anyway. But he didn't. Clearly, he's the worst authoritarian ever!! This border situation should change legislatively, but Schumer doesn't want to appear to be working with Republicans in an election year. They won't SAY that, of course, because they want to appear noble. I dunno, just my take.

Trey Gowdy hammers FBI director's response to IG report: 'I'm sorry, you're wrong'

Trey Gowdy used to be a rock star in the GOP. He was often forceful in his calling out of the Obama administration on their frequent bullshit. So it was thought that when Trump was elected, Gowdy might be a similar voice in support of the administration. That hasn’t happened, though. In fact, Gowdy’s frequent defense of the FBI and the appropriateness of the Mueller probe have dimmed his star considerably. Indeed, he’s fallen so far that he is one of many Republicans not seeking re-election this fall, though it’s almost assured. So it’s relevant that the scales have fallen from his eyes with regard to the FBI in light of the Inspector General’s report. What’s also noteworthy is that frequent articles from CNN and other news outlets have picked up articles citing his past defense of the FBI, and even of Paul Ryan’s concurrence with Gowdy, yet I have to go to a tabloid to get an article reporting on his harsh criticism. Read both sides, people. But first acknowledge that there are two sides to the news. Because there are, and it’s been that way for quite a while now.

It's a great read though a long one. And just as I have little doubt that Russia did their best to interfere in the 2016 election, I have even less doubt that Mueller (hopefully inadvertently) gave Putin an opening to meddle here, and he took it.

Which means that any state with enough Republicans will never sign onto it.

Exclusive: Democrats lose ground with millennials - Reuters/Ipsos poll

There's a lifetime between now and the November elections, but for those Democrats who are expecting a "blue wave" this fall, you might want to hedge your bets if this poll is to be believed. Because as Trump turns out to be much less of a disaster than promised, and people have a hard time seeing personally the doom and gloom that the news media is saying is all around them, his odds will improve even as he keeps disappointing some of his own voters. No question that the Democrats pick up House seats (that's been the way of it for decades - the new president's party loses seats in the mid-term), but their odds at taking the House are perhaps not what people (including myself) think that they are. Mueller is the wild-card in all of this, I suppose, and if he tries to drop an "October surprise" on things, that may change some minds.

Robert Mueller: ‘Many’ news stories on Trump-Russia probe are wrong

You could replace the word "wrong" with "fake" and not lose any of the meaning. Also of note is the word "many". Now he doesn't say WHICH stories are wrong, nor the details involved. But given the mis-reporting by Brian Ross pertaining to Michael Flynn, the mis-reporting concerning Donald Trump Jr, the mis-reporting about when the Trump people saw the WikiLeaks documents, and the fact that this link is not from any major news network, Mueller's comments here are unlikely to be heeded. Not by our news media, who still prize being FIRST over being CORRECT, and CERTAINLY not by the millions of people who are still looking to Robert Mueller the way Princess Leia looked to Obi-Wan Kenobi: "...you're our only hope."

Starbucks CEO: Employees to Get 'Unconscious Bias' Training

Back in 2013, former Starbucks CEO (and budding left-wing activist) Howard Schultz made waves when he publicly stated that customers carrying their firearms were not welcome in stores. Then in 2015, Schultz asked baristas to "Race Together" by encouraging difficult conversations as people were waiting for coffee before work. Later in 2015, a uniformed police officer in a Philadelphia Starbucks was told that he couldn't use the restroom without paying $12 for their cheapest coffee. So fast forward to this weekend - at the same Philly Starbucks, no less - and NOW the Starbucks CEO (different guy this time) is trying to avoid any responsibility by placing the blame on the cops. News flash, genius, YOUR people called the cops!! So if anyone is wondering, the answer is no, I'm not shedding any tears over Starbucks' problems at this point in time...

Amazon Charts Top 20 Books

Jordan Peterson is a Canadian psychologist and professor. He's perhaps most famous for his recent interview for this book whereby the female interrogator (if you've seen the interview, you'll understand my word choice) is left absolutely speechless by Peterson's rather reasoned defense of his position. As a result of this exchange, Peterson's book has been ranked at or near the top of Amazon's best seller list for a couple months now. As of this link, his book is #1 Most Read and #2 Most Sold (was #1 last week). Why do I bring this up? Try to find Peterson's very popular book on the New York Times best seller list.

Marchers should demand Second Amendment repeal, says former Supreme Court justice

I'm not saying ALL marchers last weekend are in agreement with retired Justice Stevens here. I'm not even saying MOST are. But SOME are, and their numbers are growing. Also growing is their comfort in saying this sort of thing publicly. Some of the members of Congress say it publicly too, which I suppose I prefer to being lied to. Some of them (like Keith Ellison) backpedal and even deny saying what is clear on video. And others, like Rep. Danny Davis of Chicago (one of the deadliest cities in the US, despite a total gun ban oh-the-irony) are unabashed in their belief that the second amendment is a "relic", as Stevens believes. But then, he also believes that amending the Constitution to do away with the Second Amendment would be a "simple" action, so perhaps with judgment like that America is indeed blessed that he is a RETIRED Justice...

New Rule: That's Not News | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

"No wonder fake news resonates so much with Trump fans — because so much of it is fake.It's just nonsense meant to keep you perpetually offended with an endless stream of controversies that aren’t controversial, and outrages that aren’t outrageous — because places like the Huffington Post and Buzzfeed and Salon — they make their money by how many clicks they get. Yes, the people who see themselves as morally superior are actually ignoring their sacred job of informing citizens of what’s important, and instead sowing division for their own selfish ends. Hey, wait, isn’t that what Russia was doing to us? Yeah, it is. And we have to stop both of them from using us as the cocks in their cock fights.” Maher is right once a month.

CNN's Jake Tapper Calls Out Dems for Their Failure to Denounce Louis Farrakhan

When Donald Trump refuses to denounce David Duke and others like him forcefully enough, it is him at his most cringe-worthy. His clumsiness in denouncing the Charlottesville fiasco was likewise awkward and poorly done. Since he clearly doesn’t put much thought into what he says, this is perhaps to be expected. But eventually, and rather quickly, he gets to the right place and says the right thing. So it is indeed bizarre that it is only Jake Tapper who seems to be calling out Democrats for their deep ties to Louis Farrakhan, a man who is as anti-Semitic as anyone you will ever meet. He’s also a raging homophobe, which is a strange position for someone so closely aligned with elected Democrats. So why AREN’T these Democrats forcefully denouncing Farrakhan’s latest ranting and raving? And why isn’t our media calling them out on it? I know the answer, of course…

Kim Jong-un’s Sister Turns on the Charm, Taking Pence’s Spotlight

In 1932, New York Times Moscow bureau chief Walter Duranty received a Pulitzer Prize for numerous reports about the Soviet Union under Stalin. Many years later, after the horrors of the famine in Ukraine and the millions of deaths of Russians and Ukrainians were learned, even Duranty's own paper admitted that his blatant denials of the Russian famine amounted to "some of the worst reporting to appear in this newspaper". Duranty was clearly a "useful idiot", despite his credentials as among the most reputable journalists of his time. You'd think that the Times would have learned something in 86 years. You'd be wrong, however. The opportunity to praise a brutal regime while simultaneously dumping on a Republican administration is simply too tempting to pass up.

Pelosi Clashes With Chris Cuomo on Nunes Memo: ‘You Really Don’t Know What You’re Talking About’

In the beginning, I took this whole "memo" thing to be nothing more than another partisan trifle. But to hear how Democrats seem to be so hell-bent on it never seeing the light of day, now I might actually start paying more attention to it. One doesn't push back this hard against something if it's full of lies, is all I'm saying.

NBC host duped by North Korea after reporting from 'staged' ski resort

In 1932, New York Times Moscow bureau chief Walter Duranty received a Pulitzer Prize for numerous reports about the Soviet Union under Stalin. Many years later, after the horrors of the famine in Ukraine and the millions of deaths of Russians and Ukrainians were learned, even Duranty's own paper admitted that his blatant denials of the Russian famine amounted to "some of the worst reporting to appear in this newspaper". Duranty was clearly a "useful idiot", despite his credentials as among the most reputable journalists of his time. With that, here is NBC's Lester Holt reporting from North Korea....

Trump plan offers citizenship path to 1.8 million immigrants

There's a saying that goes something like, if both extremes are upset over a piece of legislation, then it probably has merit. After weeks of Americans hearing the number of "Dreamers" pegged at 800,000, Trump unveils a proposal for a path to citizenship that is nearly 250% LARGER than that number. The immigration hard liners on the right are upset, but the open borders crowd on the left is also upset because of the border wall funding and other immigration curtailments. But this proposal shows a willingness to compromise, to make a deal, and to seem reasonable. Which is something that should be expected when one elects a non-ideologue to the nation's highest office. It also belies the "Donald Trump hates brown people" narrative that people irresponsibly throw around. Now it's possible that the Republicans will squash this before it gets very far, but I really hope it goes down because of the Democrats. Because as I said days ago, they don't ACTUALLY want a deal. I don't think they do, anyway. They want a campaign issue for 2018. They can't give Trump a legislative victory, and they SURELY don't want to give him one on this!!

Iran’s Fast Boats Stop Harassing U.S. Navy, Baffling Military

I don't know if this is a calm before the storm kind of thing, but rest assured that if the 2016 election had gone another way, this story would be touted as a positive side effect of the nuclear deal. And the wisdom of Democratic foreign policy. But with a combative president currently in office who has been throwing tomatoes (and thankfully nothing else) at the ayatollahs, that argument can't be credibly made, so instead people largely ignore the story. There's a reason that this article appears in the Wall Street Journal and not the New York Times, Washington Post, or on any of the broadcast networks. Can't have positive stories like this out there, now can we? I've said it for years... what ISN'T reported is every bit as significant as what IS...

Starbucks is giving baristas paid sick leave and stock bonuses

Verizon and Disney also announced bonuses and stock grants earlier this week. But Democratic Party leadership calls these measures "crumbs". There is perhaps no better example of how out-of-touch that party is to people who have to work for a living in this country. It amazes me that the billionaire president has a better insight into the struggles of the working man than the Minority Leader and, by extension, the party she leads.

Why is liberal California the poverty capital of America?

They answer their own question within the question itself... "With a permanent majority in the state Senate and the Assembly, a prolonged dominance in the executive branch and a weak opposition, California Democrats have long been free to indulge blue-state ideology while paying little or no political price. The state's poverty problem is unlikely to improve while policymakers remain unwilling to unleash the engines of economic prosperity that drove California to its golden years."

Immigration activists outraged with Democrats over Senate vote to end government shutdown

"They caved in early September, but promised to use their leverage in early December. They caved in early December, but promised to use their leverage by the end of the year. They caved at the end of the year, but they promised to use their leverage in January," Levin continued. "And now they caved again, but promised to use their leverage in February. Democrats clearly want to keep Dreamers as a talking point, but they need to grow a spine and actually fight for the Dream Act." I think some on the hard left are finally getting it. Because no matter what Schumer and other party leaders tell you, the Democrats do not actually want a deal on the "Dreamers". No, they want a campaign issue that they can hammer the Republicans with right through the mid-term elections this November. Part of me wonders if the best thing the Republicans could do is actually give them a deal...

Opinion | Oprah, Don’t Do It

"Indeed, the magical thinking fueling the idea of Oprah in 2020 is a worrisome sign about the state of the Democratic Party. That Ms. Winfrey could probably beat those considered likely front-runners — Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Kirsten Gillibrand — is testament to how demoralized and devoid of fresh political talent the post-Obama party has become." Indeed. What new ideas are the Democrats talking about? Because all I hear them talking about on TV is Russia, collusion, obstruction of justice, the 25th amendment, Trump's mental fitness, scaremongering over the tax cut which has (rightfully) embarrassed them badly, and Russia again. None of that puts food on the table in Wisconsin or Michigan or Pennsylvania. But by all means, try to shove Bernie aside for someone else so that you can continue the identity politics thing. It's just about all the Democrats have left!! Though in fairness, Oprah scares me a bit for 2020. She will get into office and do whatever Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer tell her to do. For all his faults, at least Trump is his own guy...

Is it just me, or does this guy look like Dr. Evil with glasses? But that aside, it seems like even notorious Trump-critic Stephen Colbert is taking some of the allegations in this book with a grain of salt. And some of the claims are pretty unbelievable. Because in my truth, one cannot "collude with Russia" to get a job that one "doesn't want" in the first place. It simply makes no sense. But whatever, this is all that some people have going for them, so enjoy this work that is clearly at best partly a work of fiction...
