Democrats are voting today to reject Trump’s declaration of an emergency on our Southern Border. The real emergency, for Democrats, is the need to embarrass Donald Trump. This is in spite of the fact that many of them admitted there was an emergency, when Obama was President. It is in spite of the fact that many of them voted to fund a border wall, when Obama was President. The only thing that changed was the election of Donald Trump. They hate him and are willing to do anything to embarrass him and to obstruct him from being an effective President. This includes obstructing him from doing something they know is critical to our national security.

In the meantime, Michael Cohen is testifying in public about the Stormy Daniels affair. At worst, this was a one night stand between a civilian, Donald Trump, and a porn star. Trump is accused of paying for her silence. The same Democrats, who used public funds to silence people accusing high ranking Democrats of sexual assault, consider this to be the crime of the century. By the way, the person they are calling to testify has been CONVICTED of lying to congress. He has less credibility than Jusse Smollett.

Top Democrats are also arrogantly giving advice to Donald Trump on how to deal with Kim Jong-un, while explaining why he is not up to the job. Everything they suggest has been tried in the past, with zero positive results. It is clear that the only thing they really want is for Trump to fail. They would rather have North Korea testing nuclear weapons and launching intercontinental ballistic missiles than risk giving Donald Trump a political victory. .

Is there no Democrat concerned about the undeniable fact that Trump is negotiating on our behalf. That if he fails, the results are likely to be catastrophic. That if he succeeds, the world will be a safer place for everyone. They don’t appear to care at all. Neither does the MSM. If they can embarrass Trump, if they can somehow regain power, nothing else matters.

In the meantime Donald Trump is meeting with the President of Vietnam, preparing for dinner tonight with Kim Jong-un. Tomorrow he is meeting with Kim Jong-un to try and negotiate an agreement to end the Korean War and to develop a plan forward for nuclear disarmament.

To be blunt, while the President of the United States is literally trying to save the world, Democrats are doing everything possible to obstruct him from succeeding. No one in the MSM seems to even notice or care. If you are a Democrat, you must be very proud. But consider this: If you succeed, we all fail.

In your moment of glory, reflect on this. While George W. Bush was President and he had Assad very afraid, Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry flew to Syria to undermine Bush. Nancy, met with Assad and assured us all that Assad was a good man. We could trust him. That obviously worked really well.

Just imagine how effective this type of talent would be with Kim Jong-un. The only chance for success would be if he laughed so hard he became physically incapacitated. Trump is not perfect, but the Democrats who are trying to obstruct him are perfectly awful.

CNN has one standard for a Democratic President and a completely different standard when a Republican is in office.  Five years ago, while on a humanitarian visit to Guatemala, Rand Paul dared criticize Obama administration immigration policies. CNN was OUTRAGED. They quoted Michael Czin, the DNC press secretary saying: “American has a proud tradition of letting politics stop at the water’s edge, but Paul doesn’t think that tradition applies to him. Regardless of political party, we do not go abroad and slam our own because of policy differences.”

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2014/08/22/democrats-attack-rand-paul-for-criticizing-obama-abroad/

Now we have President Trump visiting Kim Jong-un in North Vietnam and the stakes simply could not be higher. Everyone, and I do mean everyone, should be praying that Trump negotiates a settlement that results in North Korea shutting down its nuclear arms program without having to use our military in a bloody high risk military conflict. Even if you hate Trump, as liberals clearly do, he is still our President and if he succeeds we all benefit. Does anyone really want to go back to the situation during the last year of the Obama presidency when North Korea was testing nuclear weapons and launching intercontinental ballistic missiles? It was so dangerous that when some guy in Hawaii accidentally sent out a warning about an incoming missile from North Korea, a lot of people literally panicked because it was so believable.

Many people believed that the only way to even slow down North Korea was to go to war. A war that would likely cost thousands of lives and literally risk a nuclear holocaust. It is hard to imagine any negotiation with more at stake. If there was ever a time when this country needed to united behind a President, it is now. But instead the liberal media is literally slamming Trump and telling our enemies that Trump is a fool who cannot possibly be trusted. The good news is that, so far, no one in North Korea, Russia or China pays any attention to the idiotic reporting by CNN. If they did, odds are high that we would either be attacked and forced to respond with catastrophic results, or we would be attacked and fail to respond with even more catastrophic results.

I have been disgusted with the treatment of this President by the MSM for a long time. They are clearly incapable to reporting honestly with regard to anything he does. But this goes far beyond that. This is dangerous. Let me put this squarely in perspective. Suppose you are Kim Jong-un and you are wondering whether or not to negotiate with the U.S. or threaten us with Nuclear weapons. Would you be more likely to be intimidated by Donald Trump or by Nancy Pelosi pointing at Trump with that fake hand clap and the silly smirk. Remember, your life and the life of every single American citizen is at stake.

Perhaps, better yet, send over Kamala Harris to giggle about smoking weed. Or perhaps Kirsten Gillibrand so she could lean over and grasp Kim Jong-un’s hand to show she understands his pain. Better yet, send Alexander Ocasio-Cortez. She would scare Kim Jong-un into submission. Democrats have forgotten something important. The primary duty of a President is to defend the country and if you tell the world he is not up to the job, you endanger all of us.

This isn’t funny anymore. This is downright dangerous. It borders on treason. Actually, it borders on insanity. To put this in perspective suppose you are confronted by an angry man with a gun. A police officer confronts the bad guy, draws his weapon and demands he drop his weapon. You laugh and say don’t worry about this guy, his gun isn’t even loaded and if it was, he would be afraid to shoot and by the way, he’s a lousy shot. Would that make you safer?

Sometimes the best political commentary happens when the truth is told bluntly before there is time for the traditional PC screening. That happened yesterday when Charles Barkley spouted off about Jusse Mollett. He said what everyone was thinking, but no one dared admit. This is mostly stupid. The story was stupid. Anyone who actually believed the story was stupid. The planning for the hoax was stupid. The staging was stupid. Paying for someone to commit a crime with a personal check was stupid. Whimpering so people could feel his pain was stupid. Expecting anyone to believe this was stupid.

Oh there are still some die-hards, who are still begging for due process and the presumption of innocence, but most people have moved on. The MSM is trying to forget the whole affair and report on anything else. At some point, someone was bound to pull a Barkley; to just mock the whole thing as stupid beyond belief. By the way, while Barkley was doing this, his co-hosts were laughing out loud.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/02/22/charles-barkleys-advice-

“Two black guys beating a black guy up.”

“Jussie (sp) “You wasted all that damn time and money. You know what you should have did? Just went up Liam Neeson’s neighborhood. He could have solved all your damn problems.”

“Get cash, man. American, do not write checks when you’re committing illegal activities.”

“I tell you what though, man. There must be some good damn sandwiches at Subway if you’ve got to go out there at three, four in the morning to get them. Shaq, what they got on them sandwiches?!”

The reason this went viral is that it is so obviously true. This story was always ridiculous. It was only taken seriously because the MSM is desperate to criticize Trump. They are even more desperate to document hate crimes, particularly ones committed by Trump supporters. They not only wanted this to be true, they needed this to be true. Cory Booker and Kamala Harris needed something to justify their demand that the Senate pass an anti-lynching bill. It was an easy vote, because the last lynching I could find was in 1981 by the KKK.

The left still pretends that Matthew Shepard was the victim of an anti-gay hate crime. This happened in 1998 and is still commonly referred to as one of the worst anti-gay hate crimes in history. Except it wasn’t a hate crime at all. Shepard was dealing crystal meth and one of his killers was a gay man who was being pimped alongside Shepard. It appears the real motive for the murder was that they thought he had access to a shipment of crystal meth worth about $10 k. The truth has been well documented, in a book, written by a gay man, but the MSM does not care because they NEED Matthew Shepard to be the victim of an anti-gay hate crime.

The reason they ran with this absurd Jusse Smollett story is that they have nothing close to what they want or need. When you have nothing, even the patently absurd looks good. Charles Barkley gave the perfect response. He laughed this story off the front page. It’s a beautiful thing.

Jusse Smollett appears to have forgotten something really important. While the MSM portrays all conservatives and Trump supporters as naïve, racist, violent radicals, the reality is quite the opposite. It is not conservatives who are out there screaming insults at people. Yes, there are angry people screaming racist slurs, but they are usually liberals. Check out the news today. There are numerous reports of protestors complaining about Trump building the wall. These protests are actually quite small and even the MSM is having a problem pretending they matter.  There are few, if any, reports of anyone protesting for the wall. Perhaps they are happening, but probably without the insults and definitely without the widespread coverage by the MSM.

So where are all those violent racist protests demanding the wall NOW? Here’s some guidance on how to find these kinds of dangerous radicals. They are in the same place as all those racist bigots who wear MAGA hats so they can roam the streets of Chicago in -10 degree weather at 1:30 a.m. hoping and praying they spot some black gay celebrity to attack. In other words, they usually exist only in the delusional mind of the liberal left.

If you think I am exaggerating, try this experiment. For one week wear a shirt saying: gay pride or better yet dress up in rainbows. See how many people attack you. Odds are a lot of people will laugh and walk away, but you’re probably pretty safe from actually being attacked. Now, spend the next week wearing a MAGA hat. Warning, the odds of you being insulted, refused service or even attacked have just skyrocketed.

When I first heard about this incident I suspected a hoax. So did most people who don’t pretend to be reporters working for the MSM. Some people are just not happy unless they are unhappy. Liberals are like that. They require outrage to feel good about themselves. They are still dreaming of the coveted former tea party member wearing a MAGA hat and clutching a Bible while committing mass murder. When this never actually happens, they just pretend it happened anyway. The result is they make huge embarrassing mistakes. Except that liberals are incapable of embarrassment. This is what happens when you are too blinded by emotions to consider actual facts.

In this case, the real problem for Smollett is that he messed with the wrong people. That would be the United States Postal Service. Now the average mailman (person) is not that much of a threat, but the Postal Inspectors are the real deal. They spend all their time investigating crimes and aren’t distracted by their hatred of Donald Trump or anyone else. Most people don’t even know they exist. But they do, and they are very serious people. There are reports that they have already tracked that “threat” letter allegedly sent to Jusse Smollett, to, gasp, Jusse Smollett. He just may have sent it to himself. He probably was very careful to avoid leaving finger prints, but perhaps forgot he had his cell phone in his pocket when he went to mail the letter. Yes, the Postal Inspectors concentrate on “snail mail” but that doesn’t mean they don’t know how to use technology. He likely to learn all about this when a Postal Inspector is clicking the cuffs on him in preparation for a long vacation at a federal funded facility we call a federal prison.

All those people like Cory Booker and Kamala Harris, who called this a public lynching, are now trying to pretend they never even heard of Smollett. Since he is a black gay liberal, they won’t give him the Kavanaugh treatment and automatically believe anyone who accuses him. Instead they will demand everyone wait for due process. This gives them time to rehearse answering embarrassing questions with: “Jusse who?”

Andrew McCabe is already engaged in a desperate attempt to say he didn’t say what he said and more importantly he didn’t mean what he meant. Few, if anyone is actually buying this. Odds are he has a highly skilled defense attorney who explained the consequences of admitting to treason on National TV. McCabe really thought he would be the ultimate hero. Instead, he is now the top name of the list of people most likely to go to jail.

He has already tried to throw Rod Rosenstein under the bus. Don’t be surprised if he adds more people to the list. This is what desperate people do.  If McCabe is not desperate, if is only because he does not fully appreciate his perilous condition. McCabe and his merry band of fools were blinded by their hatred of Donald Trump and their self-inflated egos. They spent most of their days patting each other on the back while smirking at the clown the American people had stupidly elected to be President of the United States. They were too absorbed with themselves and each other to realize that not only was there no evidence to support their theory, their theory was absurd. McCabe is already doomed; the real question is whether he plans on taking other people down with him.

I have tried to understand how so many allegedly smart people were so incredibly stupid. Then the answer became obvious. They suspected Trump of colluding with Russia because they knew they were helping Hillary Clinton collude with Russia. This happens more often than you think. People suspect others of doing something because they know it is exactly what they have been doing. That is why people convicted of sexual harassment were among the first to lecture others accused of the same thing. Trump is routinely accused of lying and taking things out of context by people who routinely lie and take things out of context. Everything they say or do has an ulterior motive, so they assume everything Trump does has an ulterior motive. They never even consider the possibility that Trump might be doing the right thing for the right reason.

They are ignoring something really important. Most of the people currently running for President are doing so because they want the power and the glory and the enormous wealth. They know that someone like Obama, who had little or nothing in the way of accomplishments in any field, is now worshiped world wide and is filthy rich. They saw Bill and Hillary Clinton achieve very similar results. Perhaps Bill Clinton summed up his administration best when he said: “I may not have been the greatest president, but I’ve had the most fun eight years.” I think Obama feels exactly the same, with the only exception that Obama is so self-absorbed that he still thinks he did an outstanding job.

George W. Bush was very different. He said he did not view being president as the goal of a lifetime but rather as the opportunity of a lifetime. George W. Bush was very wealthy before he became President and his lifestyle since leaving office is very similar to what it was before he ran for office. He is far less visible that either Clinton or Obama. This is partly because of the way the MSM treats Republicans and Democrats but it is also because that is what Bush wants. Whenever you see Clinton or Obama, it is always about them. When you see Bush, it is always about someone else, like wounded warriors.

Donald Trump was rich and famous before he ran for President. He may be the only President in history who experienced a serious downgrade in lifestyle after he was elected. He certainly experienced a huge drop in pay. Trump has often said he didn’t run for President because he needed the job, but rather because the job needed him. So far, he appears to be totally focused on doing the right thing. This, of course, is a perspective that his enemies cannot even comprehend.

I remember once when I was in a high-level executive meeting. We were discussing  the motivation for a major decision by a competitor. I asked whether or not they might have done this just because it was the right thing to do. They all laughed and said: “well we all know that is the least likely explanation.”

This is exactly how Trump’s enemies view him. They don’t know why he is so fixated on building a border wall because they cannot grasp the concept that he may be doing this because he thinks it is the right thing to do. They certainly never considered authorizing the expenditure because it is obviously the right thing to do. Every decision they make is motivated by self-interest and their obsession with destroying Donald Trump. The result is that they often not only ignore an opportunity to do the right thing, they choose an alternative path that leads to destruction.

The case study in this is Andrew McCabe and he is likely to have the opportunity to reflect on this while spending several years behind bars. Democrats would have been wise to admit that there is a crisis on our southern border and to willingly work with the President to fix it. He would have been more than willing to listen to legitimate honest debate on the best alternatives. He probably would have given them things they really wanted, like DACA in order to do the right thing.

Instead, they foolishly demand that people disregard the obvious and accept their ridiculous assertion that there is no emergency, it was all made up by Trump. This is remarkably similar to those who demanded worship at the alter of global warming while people were enduring record low temperatures because of the polar vortex.

A day of reckoning may come sooner than you think. The establishment in Great Britain despised Winston Churchill and scorned him when he warned about Adolph Hitler and Nazi Germany. That continued until things go so bad that they turned to Winston Churchill, in desperation. Overnight he morphed from the worst possible candidate for Prime Minister to the only possible candidate for Prime Minister.

If Trump is right, and I think he is, then Democrats are making an enormous mistake. Those who ignore the facts and disregard history often pay a terrible price for their mistake.

Suddenly, a lot of things are coming into focus. It is extremely important to pay attention to what people actually do and say before reaching conclusions. Two recent events are critical in understanding the Mueller investigation and the decisions made by Rod Rosenstein.

A Buzz Feed story broke saying that the Mueller investigation had solid evidence that Trump had ordered Michael Cohen to lie before congress. Almost immediately the Mueller investigation released a written statement saying that was not true. Think about that. The Mueller investigation NEVER releases any statements, other than when people are indicted. Yet they issued this statement within minutes. More recently Mueller allegedly told Trump he was NOT under investigation.

Andrew McCabe was interviewed by CBS. He said that Rod Rosenstein was seriously considering wearing a wire while talking to President Trump and agreed with the plan to ask cabinet members to invoke the 25^th amendment. The DOJ responded almost immediately denying both of those allegations.

It is important to note exactly what the DOJ said in response:

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/doj-rebuffs-andrew-mccabe-claim-that-rod-rosenstein-sought-to-oust-trump-inaccurate-and-factually-incorrect

“Finally, the Deputy Attorney General never spoke to Mr. Comey about appointing a Special Counsel,” the spokesperson said. “The Deputy Attorney General in fact appointed Special Counsel Mueller, and directed that Mr. McCabe be removed from any participation in that investigation. Subsequent to his removal, DOJ’s Inspector General found that Mr. McCabe did not tell the truth to federal authorities on multiple occasions, leading to his termination from the FBI.”

William Barr has been confirmed as the next Attorney General of the United States. For the first time since Trump was elected, an Attorney General appointed by him is not recused from the Russia Investigation. The significance of that cannot be overstated and definitely should not be ignored.

Andrew McCabe admitted in his book and on national TV that he personally started the Russia investigation with no authorization from anyone. He said he was motivated by the decision to fire James Comey. He also admitted to soliciting the support of the Rod Rosenstein, United States Deputy Attorney General to ask cabinet members to invoke the 25^th Amendment to remove Trump from office. This is nothing short of a conspiracy to overthrow the duly elected President of the United States. The dictionary describes this as TREASON:

the offense of attempting to overthrow the government of one’s country

Even if McCabe had evidence to support such action, he did not have the authority to personally launch an investigation of the President of the United States. In reality, he didn’t have any credible evidence. Recently released e-mails show that Andrew McCabe personally colluded with the Clinton Campaign to cover up criminal acts by Hillary Clinton. McCabe knew or should have known that the Russian Dossier was an unverified and probably fake document produced by opposition research paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign. It does not get much worse than this.

This puts the appointment of Robert Mueller in an entirely different perspective. Rod Rosenstein knew exactly what McCabe and others were doing. He was faced with an enormous problem. He could not allow them to continue unobstructed or he too would be part of the conspiracy. Jeff Sessions was recused and Donald Trump was not in a position to intervene without setting off an immediate constitutional crisis. Under the circumstances, perhaps Mueller wasn’t appointed to investigate Trump, he was appointed to stop McCabe.

Trump met with Mueller the day before he was appointed Special Counsel. The MSM assumed this was to interview Mueller for Director of the FBI. They then assumed that because Trump did not choose Mueller, Mueller was out to get Trump.

In retrospect, it never made sense for Rosenstein to arbitrarily decide to appoint a special counsel to investigate Trump. It seems more likely that Rosenstein advised Trump about the conspiracy to remove him from office and proposed the appointment of Robert Mueller to stop the conspirators. Trump may have interviewed Mueller, not as a candidate for Director of the FBI, but rather as special counsel.

As an added bonus, those people conspiring to overthrow the government would likely join the Mueller team under the assumption that he too was out to destroy Trump. This would be the ultimate sting operation. If that was the strategy, it worked perfectly as all the FBI and DOJ personnel involved have been removed from power.

Andrew McCabe just handed Trump his own head on a silver platter, hours before William Barr was confirmed as Attorney General. There was already evidence of what McCabe had done. Now we also have evidence of motive. Game, set, match.

William Barr is certain to recognize treason, when he sees it and he is extremely unlikely to ignore it. He will be sworn in this afternoon in  White House ceremony where Chief Justice John Roberts will administer the oath of office.

He will raise his right hand and say the following:

I, William Barr, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter, so help me God.

If he means it, which he most certainly does, then Andrew McCabe and anyone who conspired with him should be afraid, very very afraid.

I only watched a few minutes of the Whitaker hearing today. It is increasingly clear that the Democratic Party has lost its collective mind. They have obviously convinced themselves that Donald Trump is an evil monster and that Whitaker is the Devil’s Disciple. There is zero evidence supporting this, of course, but the modern Democratic Party cannot be bothered with actual evidence. They feel that Whitaker is evil so he must be evil. This was nothing short of embarrassing. If you listened to the Democrats you would think that Mueller has found irrefutable evidence that Donald Trump colluded with Russia, obstructed justice and is a clear and present danger to our democracy. The reality is that just recently Rod Rosenstein, who oversees the Mueller Investigation, said Trump isn’t even a subject of the investigation. We know this because Trump said this during an interview and Rosenstein did not dispute saying this.

This, of course, is the worst case scenario for Democrats. They want Trump to be guilty. They need Trump to be guilty; they have worked themselves up into lather by foolishly believing their own talking points even when the truth has been obvious from day one.

This reminds me of the Richard Jewel case. He was the man who alerted police to the presence of a knapsack, before it exploded at the Atlanta Olympics. Although there was zero evidence linking Jewell to the crime, the FBI “thought” he looked guilty. The MSM picked up on this and Richard Jewell was harassed 24/7 by an out of control media totally convinced that he was the evil bomber. It was pathetic.

https://www.britannica.com/event/Atlanta-Olympic-Games-bombing-of-1996

The FB I Director at the time was Louis Freeh. When he learned that the FBI was going to interview Jewell he demanded that they read him his Miranda rights. The agent involved, Don Johnson, said he felt: “blindsided” by this. Seriously? Blindsided by being asked to follow proper procedure? So Johnson did read Jewell his Miranda rights, but pretended it didn’t matter because it was a training film. At that point Jewell called his attorney who quickly put an end to the interview. However, although the interview was over, this was just the beginning of the problems for Richard Jewell.

So why did the FBI become so convinced that Jewell was the prime suspect? It is beyond bizarre. The President of Piedmont College, Ray Cleere, called the FBI in Atlanta after he saw Jewell on TV. Apparently Jewell worked there as a security guard. Cleere claims that the folks at the FBI didn’t pay “sufficient” heed to what he was saying. That is pretty amazing, because the FBI did everything but threaten Jewell with an immediate public lynching. Cleere later said that when he called the FBI he didn’t saying anything of note. It seems possible that Cleere just didn’t like Richard Jewell and was offended that he was being treated like a hero. The only thing we know for sure about Cleere is that he was consistently inconsistent. We also know that Jewell had no involvement in the placement of that bomb. He also voluntarily took a lie detector test, which he passed, but the facts just never mattered.

In any event, the FBI went full nutzo. They decided Jewell was the guy, and then developed a profile based on what they knew about Jewell. They then used this profile to explain why he was guilty. Talk about circular reasoning. Then it got worse. There were about 30,000 law enforcement people in Atlanta because of the Olympics. Apparently one FBI agent leaked the information about Jewell and it spread like wildfire among the law enforcement community.

Freeh took the case away from the local agents and turned this over to the National Security Division. The National Security Division was trained to use intimidation and manipulation. This contrasts with other divisions of the FBI which insist on the boring practice of actually gathering evidence to be used in court. The results were spectacularly bad.

By the way, the National Security Division was replaced in 2005 by the National Security Branch. Andrew McCabe, yes THAT Andrew McCabe was appointed executive assistant director of the National Security Branch in 2013. My oh my, be still my soul!

Initially the media refused to report on Jewell, because it was unsubstantiated. But then they started to hear other law enforcement officials saying the same thing so they assumed it must be true. No one realized all of this came from the same one unreliable source. Sound familiar? This is exactly what happened with the Russia Collusion fiasco.

Guess which Network was first to go national with the story. YOU GUESSED IT…CNN. In a short period of time Jewell was the subject of wide spread character assassination. Some even compared him to Wayne Williams, the suspect in all those murders in Atlanta. Eventually the real suspect, Eric Rudolph, was identified: He had also done four other bombings, including one of an abortion clinic. The FBI botched that too. Rudolph went on the lamb and wasn’t apprehended for five more years. Even then, it wasn’t the result of the FBI manhunt; a police officer in Murphy, North Carolina spotted Rudolph hiding behind a grocery store at 4:00 a.m. The policy officer asked the Cherokee County Sheriff’s department for backup and one of the Sheriff Deputies recognized Rudolph.

There are numerous stories about this. Following is a link to some of them:

Some of you may wonder why I know so much about this. I was working for ABM during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. ABM provided the security at some of the Olympic facilities. When that bomb went off, I was called by our security official on the scene almost immediately. I was in Chicago on business and they called the phone in my hotel room. I still remember that call. “Terry, a bomb just went off at the Olympics, what do we do?” It turned out that ABM personnel had zero involvement in any of this, but I obviously had good reason to follow the details of this very closely.

This is literally a case study in piss poor police work accompanied by totally irresponsible reporting in the MSM. After watching the hearings today, it is clear that the FBI, CNN and the Democratic Party are using the same playbook used so successfully in the Richard Jewell fiasco. My prediction is that they will ultimately end up achieving remarkably similar results. They are just far less likely to consider apologizing.

The true history of the Democratic Party is one of institutionalized racism. The Civil War was fought by a Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, who signed the emancipation proclamation. In 1864, his opponent was George McClellan, who was the Democratic nominee. His letter of acceptance of the Democratic nomination in 1864 is below:

https://www.nytimes.com/1864/09/10/archives/mclellans-letter-of-acceptance-letter-of-the-committee-reply-of-gen.html

The reestablishment of the Union in all its integrity, is, and must continue to be, the indispensable condition in any settlement. So soon as it is clear or even probable, that our present adversaries are ready for peace, upon the basis of the Union, we should exhaust all the resources of statesmanship practiced by civilized nations, and taught by the traditions of the American people, consistent with the honor and interests of the country to secure such peace, reestablish the Union and guarantee for the future the constitutional rights of every State. The Union is the one condition of peace — we ask no more.

This was written on September 8, 1864, only a few months before the South was totally defeated by the Union Armies.

McClellan was clearly willing to allow the continuation of slavery in exchange for peace. Following the war, the Democrats in the South did everything possible to suppress the black population. The KKK was founded by a Southern Democrat. It was Southern Democrats who passed all those Jim Crow laws. It was Southern Democrats who signed the Southern Manifesto. It was Southern Democrats who opposed desegregation and it was Southern Democrats who fought the 1964 Civil Rights Act, including a 74 day filibuster, until the bitter end.

The myth has been that all those racist Southern Democrats became Republicans. That is simply untrue. Most of them remained Democrats until the day they died. I only know of two who became Republicans; Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond, and both strongly renounced racism when they joined the Republican Party. Others, like J. William Fulbright, the mentor for both Bill and Hillary Clinton, remained Democrats and devoted racists until the day they died. Al Gore, Sr. was a racist Southern Senator. He participated in the 74 day filibuster to delay the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and he voted against it. By the way John Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil Rights act and he opposed the 1963 March on Washington. Robert Kennedy was literally wiretapping Dr. King and had him investigated on suspicion of being a communist. Kennedy allegedly chose LBJ as his Vice President as a signal to Southern Democrats that he would not pursue a Civil Rights agenda.

The question is whether those racist Democratic parents really raised children who then renounced racism. Did you ever hear Al Gore renounce the racism of his father? Did you ever hear Bill Clinton renounce the racism of J. William Fulbright? Me neither.

Do the math here. Democrats in the early 1960s, when there was widespread opposition to civil rights, would have had children. Those children would have been attending and graduating from college in the early 1980s. Would it really be a surprise to learn some of those children did things that were clearly racist? Like appear in black face or wearing a KKK outfit. I remember visiting the South during that time and the confederate flag was everywhere.

Stone Mountain in DeKalb County, Georgia is about ten miles northeast of downtown Atlanta. The founding of the second KKK took place there. William Simmons, a minister, secured an official charter from the state of Georgia and on Thanksgiving evening 1915, he and sixteen other members of the KKK ignited a flaming cross atop Stone Mountain. By 1920 the KKK had about 5 million members.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2017/09/19/stone-mountain-the-ugly-past-and-fraught-future-of-the-biggest-confederate-monument/?utm_term=.daead997e9a8

The original plan for the mountain was to carve a memorial of Robert E. Lee leading confederate troops and KKK members across the mountain’s summit. That plan continued until after World War 1, when the original artist was fired after having only carved the head of Robert E. Lee. It wasn’t revived until the 1950s and then the clear plan was to make a memorial that would serve as a reminder of white Supremacy. The decision was made to have the monument include Stonewall Jackson and Jefferson Davis for exactly that reason.

When Stone Mountain was dedicated, President Richard Nixon knew this was a racist memorial, so he sent Spiro Agnew. Agnew disappointed the crowd by not even mentioning the Confederacy. He called for unity regarding the war in Vietnam. Billy Graham was asked to give the invocation, but he cancelled at the last minute. A black pastor, Reverend William Holmes Borders, Sr. replaced Graham. That resulted in the Klan leader and attorney James Venable cancelling their appearance. Two racist Southern Democrats did give speeches, Senator Herman Talmadge and Governor Lester Maddox. The theme was “Unity through Sacrifice.” Stone Mountain and the surrounding Confederate symbols was indisputably intended to represent the “Lost Cause” (the preservation of the Confederacy and slavery) and white supremacy.

In 1992, Bill Clinton chose Stone Mountain to give a speech talking about his “tough on crime” agenda.

This was only one year after the KKK stopped holding public picnics at Stone Mountain. This was so blatantly racist that even Iowa Senator Tom Harkin took notice:

“The Stone Mountain photo offered an ugly depiction of the Democratic Party’s priorities. What this picture demonstrates is insensitivity. A picture is worth a thousand words and we can’t afford to have pictures like this going around America in major newspapers because it sends the wrong message about what we want to be as Americans.

Governor Jerry Brown was even stronger. He said that Clinton and other politicians looked: “like colonial masters” trying to tell white voters “Don’t worry, we’ll keep them in their place. Two white men and forty black prisoners, what’s he saying: He’s saying we got them under control, folks.”

I visited Stone Mountain in the mid 1990s and I was frankly shocked and dismayed. I literally could not believe that no one was objecting to this. It was obviously a monument to the Confederacy and white supremacy. We spend very little time there and I have certainly never been interested in a return visit.

In 1996, in anticipation of the 1996 Olympics, there was an attempt to downplay the real meaning of Stone Mountain. But in a compromise which finally removed the Confederate battle flag, it required the Confederate Memorial on Stone Mountain remain untouched.

Any other provision of law notwithstanding, the memorial to the heroes of the Confederate States of America graven upon the face of Stone Mountain shall never be altered, removed, concealed, or obscured in any fashion and shall be preserved and protected for all time as a tribute to the bravery and heroism of the citizens of this state who suffered and died in their cause.

The Governor of Georgia in 2002 was Roy Barnes, a Democrat. The President of the Georgia Senate was Mark Taylor, Democrat. The Speaker of the Georgia House was Tom Murphy, Democrat.

The reality is that the argument that there have been no racist Democrats since the 1964 Civil Rights Act was passed is pure nonsense. Although the MSM has widely promoted this myth, honest reporting paints a very different picture. Donald Trump was called a racist because he apparently didn’t condemn white supremacy strongly enough at Charlottesville. Yet no one criticizing Trump bothered to consider the significant of Bill Clinton giving that speech at Stone Mountain.

I am unaware of any politicians, raised by Republican parents posing with KKK outfits. Perhaps they exist, I just am not aware of them. So far, all the people caught wearing black faces etc. are, gasp, Southern DEMOCRATS.I am aware of many times when Republicans were falsely accused of racism with little or no evidence. Meghan Kelley lost her job at NBC because she talked about people wearing black face as part of a Halloween costume. But now that Democratic politicians are caught doing much worse, the standard appears to be slipping.

I would never have considered posing with someone wearing a KKK costume and neither would any of the people I knew in high school or college. It would have been unthinkable. Obviously, it was far from unthinkable for at least some Southern Democratic politicians.

Perhaps the real reason we are finding prominent Democrats posing with racist symbols in the 1980s it that it accurately represents who they were and quite possibly who they still are. I predict that if people do honest research on a lot of Southern Democratic politicians they will find more of this. So far, the Governor of Virginia, the Attorney General of Virginia and the Governor of North Carolina, all coincidentally Democrats, have these kinds of pictures. The question is did these children of racists, posing with racist symbols, really change their world view or did they just learn to be better liars?  You decide.

According to the American Thinker, which seldom has to retract anything, the Roger Stone case just took a potentially deadly turn:

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/02/roger_stones_lawyer_offers_proof_cnn_is_in_bed_with_fbi.html

The early morning raid on Roger Stone never passed the smell test. Even liberal commentators have not even attempted to justify this. This raid was clearly designed to put on a show to embarrass and intimidate Stone. It was also designed to make him look like a dangerous felon. It is a case study in overkill.

This was first reported by the Gateway Pundit which provided a copy of a letter from Grant J. Smith, the lawyer for Roger Stone, to Lindsey Graham.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/02/exclusive-documents-show-cnn-was-tipped-off-on-roger-stone-arrest-by-29-fbi-armed-agents-leaked-by-fbi/

Senator Graham has already requested Christopher Wray testify before the Judiciary Committee to justify this raid. This letter is nothing short of a bombshell. What is most stunning is the strict reporting of facts and the lack of hyperbole. This is the kind of letter one sends when the facts are so damaging that there is zero need to inflate their importance.

CNN arrived at the Stone resident in an SUV with 2 occupants at 4:58 a.m. This is only 1 hour and six minutes before the first FBI agent arrives.

The FBI arrives at 6:04 a.m. and the CNN crew deploys to start filming.

The FBI pounds on Roger Stone’s door at 6:05 a.m.

Mr. Stone responds within one minute to open the door at 6:06 a.m.  He is promptly arrested. At this time CNN, at the instruction of the FBI, moves their vehicle. The CNN crew is incredibly allowed full access to film everything. Hard to justify this if Stone was really considered to be a dangerous felon.

At 6:11 a.m. CNN Correspondent Sara Murry calls Grant Smith, Roger Stone’s lawyer, and tells him his client has been arrested.

Grant Smith then calls Mrs. Stone, who confirms that her husband has been arrested. This happens at 6:14 a.m.

At 6:22 a.m. Grant receives a link from Sara Murry, to the DOJ website where the indictment is posted with a date of 1/25/2019.  He also receives a draft copy of the indictment, which is slightly different than the copy currently on the DOJ website.  It is dated 1/23/2019 and the author is listed as AAW.  This appears to have been created and modified on 1/23/2019 at 11:04 p.m., which is a full day before this was filed with the Court, under seal.

The detail provided by Grant Smith indicates that he can document all of this. Didn’t Sara Murry realize that Grant Smith would retain copies of her texts? It sure looks like CNN was given a copy of the draft indictment and warned of the raid, before the FBI bothered to deliver the indictment to the Court, under seal. AAW appears to be Andrew A. Wiseman, who has been accused, with justification, of prosecutorial misconduct in the past.

Is CNN really this stupid. Did they really text Roger Stone’s attorney with evidence proving they were illegally colluding with the FBI without realizing this was really bad? Was CNN really this desperate? I doubt that Smith is lying, so at a minimum CNN found Smith’s telephone number and called him within 5 minutes after Stone was arrested. This was before Stone himself even had a chance to make a phone call. Then 11 minutes later CNN texted him a copy of the indictment. Wow! What a coincidence!

There is zero chance that this timetable of event is remotely possible without the FBI deliberately leaking information to CNN. The theory that CNN miraculously figured this out before all the other networks because they saw “unusual activity” at the DC Grand Jury is a joke. For one thing, Grand Jury actions are sealed, and CNN should not have any access to them.

This is beyond bad. When I saw the video of the raid on Roger Stone’s home, I thought this was really bad. I thought this was just about the dumbest thing the Mueller investigation could have done. But that pales in comparison to Sara Murry making those phone calls and sending those texts.

I wondered how people like Christopher Wray and Rod Rosenstein could have ever signed off on this.  But that was before I say a copy of this letter. This raises things to a whole new level and Wray, Rosenstein and Acting Attorney General Whitaker have to be aware of that. They are perilously close to the point where if they don’t start throwing some people under the bus, the bus will be aimed at them.

There are really only two options here. Incredible stupidity or pure unrestrained malice. I often say that one should not assume malice where mere incompetence is a satisfactory explanation. That is not because I don’t recognize the potential for malice, I do, but stupidity is actually more common. Incredibly, in this case, the most logical explanation is a lethal combination of stupidity laced with malice.

The following article from researchers at the University College in London blames the well documented mini-Ice age on the slaughter of Native Americans by whites in the 15^th and 16^th centuries

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/02/researchers_say_native_american_genocide_changed_the_climate.html

Silly me, I always thought it was those evil white people who cut down trees and then turned them into farms. I didn’t realize the opposite was true. It turns out that Native Americans had huge farms and white people screwed this all up by getting rid of the farms and, gasp, replanting tree. So many trees that the result was a huge reduction in carbon dioxide resulting in world-wide global cooling. How irresponsible can you get? That, folks, is what really caused the mini-ice age.

This is even more shocking when one reflects on how Native Americans farmed before Europeans arrived to screw things up. Native Americans got their food by: hunting and fishing, gathering, farming and raising domesticated animals. They used advanced tools like stone axes, flint arrowheads, pointed sticks and shovels made out of bones.  Before Europeans arrived, they didn’t have horses, oxen etc., so the domestic animals would be things like turkeys, ducks and dogs. In South America, they also had llamas and guinea pigs. Yet they still managed to out farm those lazy Europeans by a huge margin.

Oh, there’s one more little thing. The Sun just isn’t cooperating with this global warming crisis.

http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/43321/scientists-predict-coming-ice-age/

The following chart is from the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. You know them. They are the people who have been giving you all those dire global warming predictions. They produced this chart, but then ignored it because actual temperature readings, well just don’t measure up.

While the New York Times and CNN have been telling you all about the record high temperatures over the last 15 years, actual temperature readings from these politically incorrect thermometers tell a very different story. Of course this data is only based on 30,000 monitoring stations while the record heat has been verified by a tourist in Central Park wearing a watch with a built in temperature gauge.

True believers still think impact of the sun on climate is far less than man-made carbon dioxide. They agree that the sun’s output is likely to decrease until 2100 as a result of a reduction of solar activity to levels not seen in hundreds of years, but they don’t think this will be sufficient to offset the dominant influence of greenhouse gases.

You can conduct a simply experiment to prove this theory correct. This summer, when the temperature is over 100 degrees, move away from the shade and lay out in the direct sun. Then breathe out as much carbon dioxide as you can. That will make you so much cooler than if you stupidly stayed in the shade.
