  1. Are America’s reporters and editors our most inept occupational group? They are an obvious candidate for the honor. How many reporters had any idea that Americans were so unhappy with the Washington status quo that Donald Trump would be our next president? Approximately zero.

     

    Political reporters are part of the Washington, D.C. swamp, and they didn’t notice anything wrong with the water they were swimming in until it was–from their point of view–too late.

     

    How many reporters and editors woke up on November 9, stunned to find that Donald Trump was our president-elect? Pretty much all of them. And yet the signs had been building for years, taken seriously by many but not, with very few exceptions, by our reportorial “elite

  2. Liz Warren once vouched for school vouchers.

     

    “Top Trump critic U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren — who’s expected to grill Education Secretary nominee Betsy DeVos tomorrow — once advocated school choice much like the woman she is likely to grandstand against. . . . The Harvard Law professor proposed giving students vouchers to attend any public school they wanted in an attempt to eliminate the current system that often necessitates that students live in a pricey community to attend a good public school. ‘The whole concept of “the Beverly Hills schools” or “Newton schools” would die out,’ she wrote of the vouchers.”

  4. She's conceited enough to approach it that way, certainly.

     

    What are the odds she got a secret pardon? I would think that would be leaked almost immediately in this environment, but could it happen?

     

    That's it !..................................a double secret pardon.............

    Why did foreign governments suddenly lose interest in the Clinton Foundation’s altruistic work after Election Day?

     

    It’s not like the world ran out of good causes.

     

    The only thing that changed after Election Day was Hillary’s ability to change U.S. policies.

     

    She's a crook.

     

    Whenever anyone asks me how I could vote for blowhard Trump, I remind them of that fact

  5. TO PREVIEW THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY, Look At The Confirmation Hearings For His Cabinet Picks:

     

    Retired General James Mattis, President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for Secretary of Defense, capped a series of head-turning confirmation hearings on Capitol Hill this week.

    Early in the week, nominees presented a stark contrast to Senate Democrats. On one side, Americans saw well-prepared, highly dignified appointees appear before elected officials from both parties. On the other side, hostile questioners from the left grilled the nominees, almost reflexively manufacturing attacks on character and asserting gaps in knowledge – which, to a casual observer, seemed nonexistent. Half dozen nominees have been nothing – if not meticulously prepared.

    What does this portend for the coming Trump dministration? . . .

    What does the solid performance of these appointees, against a shaky backdrop, foretell?

    First, these Trump appointees are demonstrating high respect for process and truth, something for which every American should be glad.

    Second, we are learning something intangible about the future of this administration. Whether Democrats continue their stubborn resistance and inglorious slide, or choose to arrest it, is really secondary.

    Primary is what we are learning about the quality of preparation, patience and temperament of those who will soon lead major departments.

    The unspoken message is heartening. The nominees are not newbies. Nor are they misaligned with their assigned missions. They are seasoned professionals. And they are acting that way. They are proving candid and deep, sensible, at times even sage. They know the ropes, their fields, the challenges that lie ahead of them – and respect Congress. Or at least that is the distinct impression they leave.

    Collectively, these early appointees have endured dozens of hours of leading questions, transparent attempts (largely unavailing) at character assassination, and attempts to derail their focus.

    They have weathered the storm. All the while, Heartland Americans have watched the process, including these spasms of senatorial haughtiness, and wondered: Is there more to this team than we thought? Great depth, more decency, honor and hope?

    The tables have somehow begun to turn. Senate Democrats cannot digest reality. Exhaustive witness preparation and performance tells you what lies ahead.

     

     

     

     

    It is funny that we keep hearing that Trump is an impulsive goofball, but it’s the Democrats who can’t seem to restrain themselves.

  6. Rand Paul previews ObamaCare replacement plan focusing on lower cost policies.

     

    Paul suggested Sunday that the replacement plan will include more low-cost insurance plans

    “On
    e of the key reforms that we will do is, we’re going to legalize the sale of inexpensive insurance,
    ” h
    e told CNN’s “State of the Union.” “
    That means getting rid of the ObamaCare mandates on what you can buy.”

    Paul last week announced some of the early details of the plan on Fox News’ “Special Report” with Bret Baier.

    Paul said his plan borrows from previous GOP replacement plans and appears to have consensus among congressional Republicans.

    “The ideas that we’ve taken for the replacement bill come from other Republicans’ bills,” he told Fox.

    Paul said Sunday the plan also will include health saving accounts and tax credits to help customers save money.

     

     

     

    Imagine that: Health insurance which acts like insurance.

  7. My new favorite stupid liberal reaction...............

    Politico Describes How Donald Trump Inhabited Body of Hillary Aide:

     

    Help! Donald Trump has taken over my body and he won’t get out!

    Politico reporter Annie Karni wrote an inadvertently hilarious story about how a Hillary aide worked so intently to acquire the personality of Donald Trump as part of debate prep that now the President-elect is still lingering inside his soul to the extent that he can channel him.

    The extreme lengths to which Philippe Reines went to become Donald Trump is the stuff of which comedy movies are made. In fact, Reines could not only write the script from first hand experience but he could also conjure up his inner Donald Trump to negotiate the movie deal. Even the title of the Politico article could also serve as the movie title, The Man Who Became Donald Trump:

     

     

     

     

    Read the whole thing; it’s a hoot.

  8. You don't seem to know history, that southern Democrats switched to the Republican party after LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act. But keep pushing the false narrative.

     

    Probably the only time that I will ever respond to your drivel.

     

    I know more about history than you ever will.

     

    You also (as usual) misread the point of the statement..........try again.

  10. THE MAN WHO LOST THE DEMOCRATS A THOUSAND ELECTIONS SAYS HIS WORK ISN’T FINISHED:

     

     

    _ZdpaV47DMoKDlfaXh00ho4gtH2KJncoDqEQqBmR Obama and His Movement Prepare to Challenge President Trump.

     

     

    And despite all the puffery packed into this NBC story, the conclusion is what matters: “The Democrats’ huge losses in terms of state legislative, gubernatorial and congressional seats during Obama’s eight years in office may reduce his credibility in telling party leaders what to do in the future.”

     

     

    ADDED: from the comments at the link;

     

    There’s one: the tradition that ex-Presidents back out of politics and
    mostly stay out of their successor’s way regardless of party. That’s a valuable, important institution in American politics.
    It goes back to George Washington (who retired to his farm). And, of course, the press is totally whitewashing that.

     

    Well, one more American political tradition in the crapper.
    I have a feeling it will do even his own party more harm than good. Notice also that Obama’s special criterion for violating the tradition is if Trump backs policies that are “not who we are”. IE whenever Obama feels like it.

     

    There’s another American tradition. The respect and deference shown to past American Presidents, even the bad ones. That tradition exists in large part because ex-presidents are no threat politically to current ones.
    Their job is to be the grown-ups, elder statesmen who protect the system as a whole (typing this, I’m seeing why Obama’s incapable of that role
    ) and quietly work to foster the future of their party. If Obama’s going to cater to his own narcissism and remain defiantly on stage heckling President Trump, then there’s no reason for Trump to show any deference and respect to Obama.

     

    Obama and the media will surely try to have it both ways: he’ll be marching around picking political fights, while acting wounded and disappointed when he isn’t treated like a non-combatant.

     

    American political traditions only exist insofar as they serve immediate democrat political expediency. Otherwise, if they’re mentioned at all it’s as antiquated foolishness.

     

     

     

     

     

    Yeah, pretty much.

  11. Franken’s examination of Senator Sessions in the confirmation hearing showed him to be the unfunny clown whom we have long since come to know in Minnesota. He purported to base his opposition to Sessions on…well, on this: “I do not think he is the best man for the job.” And on the views stated in this poorly constructed run-on sentence: “I cannot vote for an attorney general who is not fully committed to equal justice for the LGBT community, minorities, immigrants and women and Sen. Sessions’ answers failed to reassure me that he will be an attorney general for all Americans.”


    These statements are pathetic. To vary a thought from Tina Turner: What’s law got to do with it? Apparently nothing.
