Howard Dean says Dems aren’t negotiating because Trump is ‘mentally incapacitated’
January 1, 2019 by Jerry McCormick
https://www.patriotnewsalerts.com/dean-says-trump-mentally-incapacitated/?utm_medium=ci&utm_source=push&utm_campaign=pna
Of all people, Howard Dean is questioning the sanity of our president.
Dean recently stated he believes the Democrats aren’t negotiating with Trump because he is “mentally incapacitated.”
“I actually think the president is mentally incapacitated and I have thought so for quite some time,” Dean said Sunday on MSNBC.
The Scream
Dean is a former chair of the DNC — but that’s not his main claim to fame.
What everyone remembers him for is his insane scream after a primary win in 2004.
The video of it actually went viral…
Doubting the President
Dean has bought into the narrative that the president is constantly lying to the American people.
“He says things that he knows aren’t true and that somehow he thinks people are going to believe, and they just don’t,” Dean stated.
That, according to Dean, is why Democrats will not sit down at the table with Trump to bargain over immigration.
Dean stated, “You can’t really make a bargain with somebody who is irrational, because they won’t keep it.”
What Dean failed to mention is the fact Democrats have no intention of actually sitting down to bargain in good faith.
They have been adamant there will never be any funding released for the wall.
Democrats know this was a major platform issue for Trump when he ran for president.
That being the case, they are going to do everything in their power to prevent him from fulfilling that promise — solely to sabotage him.
While they have approved $1.6 billion towards immigration, they did so with the stipulation the money cannot be used for building the wall.
Do you support Donald Trump?
Yes

Dean’s comments are nothing more than Democrat posturing and deflection.
They are the ones that could not be trusted even if they were willing to come to the bargaining table.

Trump ‘missing’ from Oval Office – or so the media thought

The lengths the media will go to in order to take a shot at Trump has sunk to a new low.
Over the holidays, rumors began to circulate that Trump was not actually working in the Oval Office over the holidays as he said.
Where is Trump?
The Daily Mail published an article challenging whether President Trump is actually still at the White House.
Their reasoning is that since there is no Marine sentry posted outside the West Wing, Trump is lying about staying in D.C.
It has gotten to the point the media has taken photos of the outside of the West Wing to prove there is no Marine guard on duty.
When the White House was asked why the Marine guard was not on duty, it had no response.
The media has based its assumptions on Trump’s secret trip to see the troops over Christmas.
Even though they were never alerted to the trip, Trump managed to visit the troops in Iraq the day after Christmas.
It is normal protocol for such a trip to be kept secret since the president is traveling to hostile territory.
White House pushes back
White House staff has pushed back against the claims the president is not in the White House.
One staffer stated he had walked into the Oval Office and Trump was at his desk working.
Trump pushed back against the rumor too, tweeting Monday, “I’m in the Oval Office. Democrats, come back from vacation now and give us the votes necessary for Border Security, including the Wall. You voted yes in 2006 and 2013. One more yes, but with me in office, I’ll get it built, and Fast!”
That was not good enough for the media, however, as they have continually pushed the narrative Trump is lying about being in the White House this weekend.
Trump has not made an actual public appearance since Friday night, when he dined with Vice President Pence.
So, in their eyes, that is all the proof they need to spread a rumor.
It has actually gotten so bad, the media is splitting hairs, saying that even if he was in the White House, he was not actually in the Oval Office.

Trump takes shot at Elizabeth Warren, suggests speaking with her psychiatrist
January 1, 2019 by Jerry McCormick
https://www.patriotnewsalerts.com/trump-takes-shot-at-warren/?utm_medium=ci&utm_source=push&utm_campaign=pna
The first shots of the 2020 presidential campaign have officially been fired.
After Sen. Elizabeth Warren announced her bid for the presidency, President Donald Trump took a jab at her mental stability.
Poking the Bear
Warren’s supporters received an email this week alerting them to the fact Warren is launching an exploratory committee.
Doing so allows her to raise campaign funds for the 2020 presidential election.
We have long suspected she was laying the groundwork for a run.
Pete Hegseth asked the President if he thought Warren really thought she had a real shot at winning the presidency, to which Trump answered, “Well, that I don’t know. You’d have to ask her psychiatrist.”

Liar!
Warren is going to have some real credibility problems once the campaign season gets rolling.
For years, she tried to tell the American people she was a minority with Cherokee blood.
After finally taking a DNA test, it was revealed she has about as much Cherokee in her as the tip of a pinhead.
Test results showed she had someone in her family maybe six generations ago that had Native American heritage.
When the results were published, even the Cherokee Nation came out against her, calling it insulting.
Warren recently spoke at a commencement speech, where she finally admitted she no claims to be a minority.
The damage has been done, though, as that will more than likely be the single most asked question during her campaign.
Do You Think Warren Can Win the Presidency?
Yes
No
Next
She misled everyone to take advantage of a minority status she did not qualify for.
To Trump’s point, Warren lives in a fantasy world in her head and is hardly someone anyone can seriously consider to be president of the United States.

Trump says he will meet Kim soon, receives letter from him

US President Donald Trump has said that his administration will be setting up another meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in the “not too distant future.”
Speaking to reporters at the White House on Wednesday, Trump said he had received a “great” letter from Kim and expected to meet with him soon.
Trump defended his policy on North Korea and said that there would have been a “big fat war in Asia” if he had not sat down with Kim during their historic summit in Singapore last June.

Trump had tweeted yesterday that he was looking forward to meeting Kim again, saying the North Korean leader "realizes so well" how his country "possesses great economic potential.”

The US president also told reporters that he had never emphasized the speed at which Pyongyang would need to denuclearize. In his New Year address on Tuesday, Kim said that he was willing to go forward with denuclearization to ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula, but said that he could reverse course if the US "clings to sanctions and pressure" to get what it wants.
Kim said he was "always ready" to sit down with Trump to come to an agreement, but that Pyongyang "could be left with no choice" but to "seek a new way" if Washington reneges on its promises or "misjudges our patience."
Kim also called on South Korea to put an end to war games with the US on the peninsula, saying that they were "outside interferences" intended to block reconciliation between the two countries.
North Korea's planned denuclearization has stalled since the Singapore summit, with Pyongyang blaming Washington's refusal to lift sanctions. Last month US special representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun said that the Trump administration had "no intention" of easing its North Korea sanctions.

Some experts have been skeptical about Washington's ability to meet Pyongyang halfway, with Andrew Leung, an international and independent China specialist, telling RT that "the Trump administration does not appear the most reliable administration in the world” and that it is “prone to changing tactics.”
"On part of the North Koreans, they see that they have improved the relationship, they have improved the atmosphere over the Korean peninsula, and they expect to see, at least, some easing of the sanctions and they are not seeing that," Leung said.

“I’m in the Oval Office. Democrats, come back from vacation now and give us the votes necessary for Border Security, including the Wall. You voted yes in 2006 and 2013. One more yes, but with me in office, I’ll get it built, and Fast!” tweeted the Commander-in-Chief.

Brit Hume slams Soledad O’Brien for criticism of Trump’s Iraq trip
December 28, 2018
https://www.conservativeinstitute.org/pop-culture/tv/hume-slams-soledad-critcism.htm
Johnny Silvercloud / CCL
Former CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien subjected herself to a well-deserved social media ribbing after she ludicrously proclaimed that President Donald Trump only visited troops in Iraq over the Christmas holiday because he was publicly shamed into taking the trip.
In a sarcastic response garnering nearly 30,000 “likes” on Twitter, Fox News host Brit Hume humiliated his ex-CNN rival in a scorching rebuke. “Yes, Ma’am,” he said. “Trump read this tweet when it was posted and time-traveled himself back to yesterday and flew to Iraq. Genius take.”
Brilliant!
First, the liberal mainstream media prematurely reported that Donald Trump would be the first president since 2002 to skip a Christmastime visit to troops stationed overseas. Then, reporters were forced to backpedal and issue retractions after discovering that Trump and the first lady departed the White House during the late hours of Dec. 25 for Iraq.
NBC News, MSN, Newsmax, MSNBC, The Daily Beast, Complex Magazine, and the HuffPost were just a few of the dozens of outlets reporting that Trump broke a 16 year White House tradition by visiting with American service members on Christmas Day. But Trump would act like the Grinch who stole Christmas from the left when he made an unannounced trip to Al Asad Airbase in Iraq.
To justify their abysmal reporting, the mainstream press sought to portray the outing like a clandestine CIA operation — because how else could so many journalists get the story so abhorrently wrong? “President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were quietly whisked out of the White House under the cover of darkness on Christmas night for a trip to Iraq,” wrote CNN.
Speaking too soon
Before news of this super-secret overnight mission was published, however, liberal darling and out-of-work actress Alyssa Milano shared an NBC News story trashing Trump for ostensibly breaking with presidential tradition by failing to meet with troops.

Trump, Syria and Saudi Arabia: The stories that reshaped the Middle East in 2018
9 low points in Israel-Jewish Diaspora relations in 2018
Donald Trump, President of the United States of Hate?
Trump just gave the finger to his Jewish voters
When your beat is covering Israel, the Middle East and the concerns and controversies impacting Jewish communities around the world, it’s a given that the news - and how it can be parsed, contextualized and critiqued - never stops.
This year was no exception: from the shocking massacre of Jews at prayer in Pittsburgh, to the Khashoggi murder which threatened to upend Netanyahu’s 'New Middle East'; from resurgent hyper-nationalism and Holocaust revisionism in Europe, to the mainstreaming of evangelical fundamentalism in the U.S.; from an apparently endless pit of anti-Semitism in UK Labour to Farrakhan-washing in the Women’s March; from an Iran ‘liberated’ from the nuclear deal - and from U.S. forces in Syria; from months of protests, bloodshed and air strikes between Israel and Gaza to an ever-more embedded Israeli occupation, slashed U.S. humanitarian aid, injections of Qatari cash and an endlessly deferred Trump peace plan, and now the announcement of Israeli elections next April.

Here are 31 op-eds that give a taste of the issues that have buffeted the Mideast and the Jewish world, as addressed in Haaretz op-eds: a range of opinions that I’ve chosen to both challenge and validate your politics, that may cause distress, even disgust, or recognition and endorsement. A range of opinions whose publication in Haaretz embodies our provocative and defiantly liberal values, the same values increasingly under threat here and around the world from hyper-partisanship, intimidation, superficiality and agitprop. I doubt you’ll enjoy them all - but I hope you’ll give them a hearing.
Zaha Hassan: One Day, Palestinians Will Thank Trump for His Years of Hostility
Trump's Mideast team has been transparent and consistent: Palestinians have no right to a state; Israel doesn't need to answer for its human rights abuses. But there's a Democratic backlash - and a future political windfall for the Palestinians

Trump has mesmerized most Jewish Israelis and about a quarter of U.S. Jews in a cult-like grip, despite serially deferring to anti-Semites at home, and emboldening Israel's enemies abroad. It's time to face reality

I’ve embedded with troops in Iraq, in a nursing home and a psychiatric asylum: now, I’m going to embed myself in Dolev. This is why
David Rothkopf: Trump Didn’t Pull the Trigger on Jews in Pittsburgh, but He Certainly Prepped the Shooter
The massacre in a Pittsburgh synagogue is the result of Trump’s constant endorsement of hate against the other, a hate-and-fear-mongering which has brought America to a very dark place
Mehdi Hasan: Dial Down the Hysteria on anti-Semitism in Corbyn's Labour
There is vile and inexcusable anti-Semitism on the left, and efforts to deny it are shameful. But take it from a Muslim in Trump's America, British Jews don't face an existential threat from Jeremy Corbyn
Anshel Pfeffer: Why Corbynism Is a Threat to Jews Throughout the Western World
Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the U.K's opposition Labour Party, speaks during the 'Labour Live' festival in London, U.K. June 16, 2018

Even his close advisors are astonished by the Labour leader’s refusal to act on the party’s crisis with British Jews. This is why Corbyn can’t and won’t face up to anti-Semitism on the left – and why it will have international consequences
Chemi Shalev: Despite the Blow to Its National Security, Israel Will Bow to Trump’s Syria Withdrawal
Lion of Judea, Cyrus incarnate, Netanyahu’s soul mate and the best friend that Israel ever had...except the U.S. president has just abandoned the Jewish state
Diana Buttu: I Advised the Palestinian Negotiating Team. It Was a Mistake to Have Negotiated With Israel at All
Buoyed by the Oslo Accords, I moved to the West Bank as a legal adviser to the PLO team. I was wrong. 25 years since that iconic Arafat-Rabin handshake, it's clear talks are futile - and Palestinians are no closer to freedom
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Ahed Tamimi and Her Family Aren't the Palestinian Saints You Want Them to Be
Promote the blood libel? Check. Glorify terrorism? Check. Celebrate Israeli deaths? Check. Ahed Tamimi and her family aren't fighting for peace, and they're not just fighting the occupation: They're fighting to destroy Israel, and their fight is seasoned with Jew-hatred
David Makovsky: So Much Winning: Why Mahmoud Abbas Thinks He's Beating Trump - and Israel

He's 83, with no successor and no state. But Palestinian President Abbas consoles himself, in the twilight of his lifetime, with the belief that after two years of Trump, he's come out on top
Bradley Burston: The Israel You Know Just Ended. You Can Thank Netanyahu
Look around. The country looks the same. But it doesn't feel the same. Not even close. A day of mourning has come
Daniel B. Shapiro: Why the Khashoggi Murder Is a Disaster for Israel
The grisly hit-job on Khashoggi has implications far beyond its exposure of the Saudi Crown Prince as brutal and reckless. In Jerusalem and D.C., they’re mourning their whole strategic concept for the Mideast - not least, for countering Iran
Simon A. Waldman: The Secret Jewish Plot Against Turkey
Erdogan, who rose out of a party whose leader compared Jews to bacteria, likes to name-drop 'The Mastermind': a Jewish conspiracy preventing Turkey taking its rightful place as a world superpower. No surprise, then, that he's now targeting Soros
James Martin: What Happens When pro-Trump Christians Weaponize the Bible
US President Donald Trump is applauded during a signing ceremony for the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 at the White House on December 20, 2018 in Washington, DC

U.S. 'pro-Israel' evangelicals who declare the president enacted God's will, by moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, should consider the terrible historical cost of a selective and literalist use of the Bible
Avraham Bronstein: Why Does Ben Shapiro Sound Like a Christian Evangelical on Abortion?
When conservative star pundit Ben Shapiro weighed into the abortion debate, he reproduced Christian denominations’ extremist positions rather than the case-by-case Jewish tradition. That’s a shame – but no accident
Rokhl Kafrissen: How Privileged White Leaders Frame What We Know About Jews in America
The U.S. Jewish future is surveyed and budgeted to fit the biases of married, shul-going, Ashkenazi, heterosexual, Israel-supporting men: We still know next-to-nothing about the 'real' Jewish America. This is why it matters
Andrea Pitzer: Donald Trump Is Still Setting Up Concentration Camps on American Soil
It is an earlier incarnation of Auschwitz, a place of indefinite detention for a vilified minority, that we saw on our border this week. The president's executive order offers no evidence this will change
Jonathan S. Tobin: How Many Times Can U.S. Liberal Jews Cry 'Nazi!' at Trump?

Reasonable people must stop buying into the lunacy that Americans are living in the moral equivalent of the last days of the Weimar Republic. And that applies to Jews making offensive Holocaust analogies too
David Schraub: No One Who Praises an anti-Semite Like Louis Farrakhan Can Call Herself 'Progressive'
When the Women's March co-chairs back a bigot who serially attacks the 'Satanic Jews', they're defended as fearless leaders who won't give in to 'bullying'. That hypocrisy goes to the heart of why Jews can't feel completely at home on the left
Emma Goldberg: White Jews Have Found Privilege in America. Black Communities Haven't
The Farrakhan firestorm has subsided, but it laid bare the uncomfortable contradictions that fuel Black-Jewish tensions. We white Jews suffer from anti-Semitism, but we're protected from the anti-black racism coded into our country's DNA
Raphael Magarik: Alice Walker Endorses anti-Semitism. Marc Lamont Hill Doesn't. Was That So Hard?
When the right-wing pro-Israel community completely writes off all pro-Palestinian advocates as 'anti-Semites' it cheapens the charge of anti-Semitism. That's not only unfair - it’s actually dangerous for Jews
Avram Mlotek: Farrakhan's Hate Speech Leads to Actual Abuse of Jews. I Just Experienced It

'You a Jew, man?' He asked. He lifted up a picture of Louis Farrakhan. 'That's a real Jew. You're a fu*king fake.' On a crowded New York subway, no one said anything. But we U.S. Jews can't let anti-Semitism go unanswered – whether it's hate speech from Farrakhan, or from Trump
Alexandra Senfft: My Grandfather Was Executed as a WWII War Criminal. I Know Why Germany Still Has a Nazi Problem
It was always 'other' Germans who perpetrated Nazi crimes, not our own families. That's the lie that has enabled the far right to return to power in Germany
Charlotte Knobloch: Germany's Nazi-friendly, anti-Semitic Far Right Has a New Mission: Recruiting Jews
The far-right Alternative for Germany, in parliament and rising in the polls, wants an ethnically pure, authoritarian Europe. It feeds anti-Semitism, Holocaust revisionism and anti-migrant violence. How could a single Jew join them?
Daniella Peled: Why Hasn't Seymour Hersh's Syria War Crimes Denial Ended His Career?
The fact that mainstream media outlets dismiss Hersh’s disgraceful apologetics as daft idiosyncrasy rather than what it is – fake news at its worst – is a sign, quite simply, of our utter moral failure on Syria
Alexander Reid Ross: Why Proud Boys’ Gavin McInnes' 'Hip' Fascism Retains Its Toxic Appeal

McInnes and the Proud Boys dressed racist far-right views in a hip new uniform. Now he's resigned as their leader – but they won't be disappearing, nor will the resurgent anti-Semitic, racist and violent nationalism they incubate and spread
Esther Solomon: Why David Duke, David Icke, Louis Farrakhan and the Assad Regime All Love Shlomo Sand
And Iran, George Galloway, Gilad Atzmon and the Daily Stormer. Why has such a diverse spectrum of anti-Semites converged on the work of this Israeli historian? Should he bear any blame for how they've weaponized his words?
Claire Berlinski: How Putin and the Far Right Played the Paris Yellow Vests Protests
Russia didn’t trigger the Gilets Jaunes. But Putin and the far right want to see Paris burn and Europe weakened and divided, so they jumped at the chance to contaminate and manipulate them
Jaspreet Oberoi: From Punjab to Palestine: Why Young Sikhs Like Me Are Becoming pro-Palestinian Activists
We Sikhs recognize the pictures from Gaza and the West Bank. We know what years of state-sponsored harassment and violence looks like
Abhinav Pandya: Caliph Erdogan? Why Turkey's President Is Quietly Courting Indian Muslims
Erdogan has good reason to invest in Indian Muslims: their support would boost his bid for leadership of the Muslim world. And as India's Hindu nationalist footprint strengthens, its Muslims may seek a powerful defender abroad
Daniel Gouri de Lima: Heard the Joke About Bibi Welcoming Duterte to Israel? It's a Killer
'He compared himself to Hitler!' the liberals mewled. But Israel needs straight-talking, confident friends who don’t flinch at ludicrous things like international law. All hail Duterte, the very best of Israel’s bedfellows

Expert says Donald Trump may be impeached in 2019

Expert says Donald Trump may be impeached in 2019
Image Source: Screenshot
Steven Okun has one of the more powerful political voices in the country, and he believes a dire warning is necessary.
Okun has little doubt once Democrats take over the House, they will do everything in their power to start impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump.
Looming Problems
Today’s Democrat party has three things on its current agenda:
— Obstruct Trump from accomplishing anything
— Protect undocumented immigrants
— Impeach Trump
With it now being only days away from Democrat control of the House, the uncertainty of this country’s political future has started to trickle down into the investment world.
Much of that uncertainty is linked to the very real possibility of Trump being impeached by the House.
Okun, who is a senior advisor at McLarty Associates, a geopolitical consulting firm, stated, “Democrats will do something on impeachment next year.”
The Bigger Shutdown
If Democrats decide to move forward with impeachment, Okun fears Washington D.C. will shut down.
He was not referring to the current government shutdown over the budget, either, but a complete shutdown by the current administration.
As we saw with Bill Clinton, an impeachment process takes up significant time and effort by a sitting president.
Okun believes this administration will be so preoccupied fighting the impeachment, it will have little time to focus on anything else, which is exactly what Democrats want.
He further stated, “I think 2019 is going to make 2018 look tame in comparison … I’ve never seen such nervousness in the U.S. business community as I’ve seen now.”
It is important to note here, the impeachment process, if it does happen, will not go any further than the House.
It is unlikely a Republican-controlled Senate would move forward because as of now, there is simply no proof Trump did anything wrong.
There are, however, two significant problems, one of which Okun mentioned.
First, the administration will be too tied up in impeachment proceedings, Trump will be ineffective for his next two years, paving the way for a Democrat win in 2020.
Do You Think the House Will Move to Impeach Trump?
Yes
No
Next
The second point, in addition to the investment problems, is that countries will be less inclined to make deals with Trump because they have no idea if he will be president moving forward.
This is a very dangerous time for Americans because it is clear Democrat representatives have clearly forgotten they are supposed to be in office for the people, not to further their own personal agendas against a president they despise.

Okun believes this administration will be so preoccupied fighting the impeachment, it will have little time to focus on anything else, which is exactly what Democrats want.
He further stated, “I think 2019 is going to make 2018 look tame in comparison … I’ve never seen such nervousness in the U.S. business community as I’ve seen now.”
It is important to note here, the impeachment process, if it does happen, will not go any further than the House.
It is unlikely a Republican-controlled Senate would move forward because as of now, there is simply no proof Trump did anything wrong.
There are, however, two significant problems, one of which Okun mentioned.
First, the administration will be too tied up in impeachment proceedings, Trump will be ineffective for his next two years, paving the way for a Democrat win in 2020.
Do You Think the House Will Move to Impeach Trump?
Yes
No
Next
The second point, in addition to the investment problems, is that countries will be less inclined to make deals with Trump because they have no idea if he will be president moving forward.
This is a very dangerous time for Americans because it is clear Democrat representatives have clearly forgotten they are supposed to be in office for the people, not to further their own personal agendas against a president they despise.

SARAH SMACKDOWN: Huckabee Sanders SHREDS CNN for Attacking Pro-Trump Troops
posted by Hannity Staff - 4 hours ago
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders utterly unloaded on CNN this week; blasting the network after suggesting pro-Trump troops were “violating a military rule” by having the president sign their iconic ‘MAGA’ hats.
“Troops bringing President Trump ‘Make America Great Again’ hats to sign may have violated a military rule,” tweeted CNN after images of the Commander-in-Chief meeting US troops in Iraq surfaced on social media.

Democrats are trying to make President Trump as miserable as possible, and they are succeeding.
Christmas got canceled for Donald Trump, as he remained behind at the White House while his family flew to Florida to celebrate the holiday.
Trump made everyone aware of the fact he was alone at the White House with a Christmas Eve tweet: “I am all alone (poor me) in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on desperately needed Border Security. At some point the Democrats not wanting to make a deal will cost our Country more money than the Border Wall we are all talking about. Crazy!”

Early last week, there were rumors Trump was going to bend on the wall and accept a $1.6 billion spending bill for immigration by Democrats.
The caveat to that legislation was that the money in the bill could not be used for the construction of the wall.
It did not take long for Trump’s base to voice their opinion on the matter, with many telling the president shutting down the government was okay with them if it meant getting funding for the wall.
In a last-minute pivot, Trump said that he would not sign the legislation as it was written, absolutely stunning Democrats, who thought they had a deal.
Trump decided to stay behind in Washington while everyone else in his family went to Mar-a-Lago in the hopes Democrats would break and give him the budget he wanted. “I am in the Oval Office & just gave out a 115 mile long contract for another large section of the Wall in Texas. We are already building and renovating many miles of Wall, some complete. Democrats must end Shutdown and finish funding. Billions of Dollars, & lives, will be saved!” he tweeted.

Time Running Out
In less than a week, the Republican edge in the House will be gone.
When the House goes back in session after the New Year, Democrats will officially have the majority and a completely new agenda.
Rather than worrying about Americans and the problems this country is currently facing, they will no doubt start to work in impeachment proceedings to try to oust Trump from office.
Even if they don’t succeed, there is little doubt they will have this administration so occupied with the impeachment that little if anything will be accomplished during the last two years of Trump’s term.
This is not only bad for Trump but also the Republican party.
Do You Support Trump Shutting Down the Government to Get Wall Funding?
Yes
No
Next
This is a major fail on the part of Senate Republicans, who still hold a majority, in that they were unable to get wall funding approved while Republicans are in charge of the White House, the Senate, and the House.
Trump saying he was alone in the White House was prophetic in a way, as he will surely be on his own over the next two years to get anything done for We the People.

Former CNN ‘Journalist of the Year’ winner confesses to falsifying reports

Former CNN ‘Journalist of the Year’ winner confesses to falsifying reports
Evan El-Amin / Shutterstock.com
A renowned journalist has just been exposed for writing fake news.
Claas Relotius, a star journalist and editor with the German magazine Der Spiegel, was internationally recognized for his work, and was even awarded “Journalist of the Year” in 2014 by CNN International. But Relotius, 33, was fired earlier this week after it was discovered that, over the past few years, he had falsified information in over a dozen stories, including a feature on supporters of President Donald Trump.
“Claas Relotius, a reporter and editor, falsified his articles on a grand scale and even invented characters, deceiving both readers and his colleagues,” Der Speigal announced on Wednesday.
Intentional falsification
Relotius did not come under suspicion until recently, when he was working with a partner on an article titled “Jaeger’s Border,” a story about a vigilante group patrolling the U.S. – Mexico border. The coworker, who also had a byline on the story, became suspicious and investigated.
Faced with his partner’s accusations, Relotius eventually confessed to falsifying parts of the story, as well as parts of at least 13 others, including several reports which had received or been nominated for journalism awards.
Upon being informed, Der Spiegel took action. In addition to firing Relotius, the magazine published an article detailing his “large-scale journalistic fraud.”
“Claas Relotius committed his deception intentionally, methodically and with criminal intent,” Der Spiegel wrote.
Stereotyping Trump supporters
One corrupted story, in particular, was titled “In a small town” — a story centered on Fergus Falls, Minnesota, where, he wrote, “people pray for Trump on Sundays.” Relotius’ obvious goal was to use this to paint a picture of a Middle America town that voted for Trump in the 2016 presidential election.
But according to Der Spiegel, Relotius used either false information or complete fabrications for the story.
“He invented grotesque lies and reported, for example, that the students at the John F. Kennedy high school drew their role models for the American dream as follows: ‘They did not draw a single picture of a woman,’ Relotius wrote. ‘One class drew Barack Obama, two drew John D. Rockefeller. Most of them drew Donald Trump.’ All of this is pure fiction,” wrote the magazine. “Every single bit is concocted bunk.”
Relotius invented a waitress with kidney disease who was unable to get treatment under Obamacare, a city administrator who was a virgin and did not want a female U.S. president (presumably Hillary Clinton), and a Fergus Falls student who went on a field trip to Trump Tower rather than the Statue of liberty.
He additionally lied about several aspects of the town, including that it had a welcome sign which read, “Mexicans Keep out” and that the movie “American Sniper” was still in theaters to sold-out crowds — despite the fact that it was two years after the movie release. He also described a scene from a downtown cafe that, in reality, doesn’t have windows.
Do you think this "journalist" is but one of many "fake news" anti-Trump reporters?
Yes
No
Next
“I’m sick”
According to Der Spiegel, when it confronted Relotius about his made-up news stories, he said, “I’m sick and I need to get help.”
In addition to losing his job at the German magazine, he was also stripped of the journalism awards he received from CNN in 2014. Der Speigel is continuing their investigation of Relotius’ work.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders torches Senate Democrats over failure to protect American citizens

https://www.patriotnewsalerts.com/sarah-sanders-torches-democrats/?utm_medium=ci&utm_source=push&utm_campaign=pna

The entire Trump administration is frustrated with Democrats’ inabiilty to work with President Donald Trump on border security — especially Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
In fact, Sanders issued a scathing rebuke to a party that refuses to put Americans first last week, saying: “It’s a sad day in America when Mexican government is doing more to protect the American people than Senate Democrats.”
What About the People?
It seems the bulk of those elected to office have forgotten why they are actually in office.
They are called representatives for a reason; elected officials are supposed to support the will of the people.
Indeed, they are supposed to represent the voters that put them into office.
And above all else, they are supposed to put the welfare of American citizens first.
But that clearly is not happening right now.
While the president has been adamant that he wants to put America first, Democrats are continuing to put the welfare of individuals breaking the law to enter this country ahead of American citizens.
By definition, illegal immigrants are criminals. There is simply no other way to look at it.
Furthermore, they are criminals that should not even be in this country — but still, they are the priority of the Democratic Party.
Must Be Stopped
It has gotten so bad that Mexico is currently doing more to stop illegal immigrant into our country than our own government.
To this point, Sanders stated: “One thing that I think has been missed and didn’t get a lot of coverage yesterday was what we have worked out, what this administration has been able to do in conjunction with the Mexican government and the massive and monumental moment that took place yesterday where catch-and-release has ended.”
Shockingly, sanctuary cities and states in our own country are still practicing catch-and-release with undocumented immigrants.
Do you think Trump should get the $5 billion in funding he requested for the border wall?
Yes
No
Next
In a few notable cases, some of those released have gone on to commit horrific crimes against American citizens, including rape and murder.
Hopefully, Democrats will soon stop voting “no” on legislation simply because it was presented by Republicans, and actually consider the ramifications their actions have on those who voted them into office.

Kimberly Guilfoyle, the girlfriend of President Trump’s son, Donald Jr., says there is one person to thank this Christmas season: President Donald Trump.
Guilfoyle penned a recent op-ed on The Daily Caller wherein she made everyone aware of Trump’s achievements during his first two years in the White House.
A Merry Christmas
Americans have a lot to be thankful for this holiday season, and according to Guilfoyle, much of that came at the hand of our current president.
Guilfoyle was quick to point out some of the main achievements of this presidency had nothing at all to do with party and everything to do with Americans — all Americans — getting ahead.
For instance, the First Step Act was signed earlier in the week.
This bipartisan legislation was aimed at giving those who have served time in prison a second chance at life.
Along with this legislation, Americans are enjoying a robust jobs market — so robust, in fact, that even some of the most liberal publications have stated that they have never seen anything like it before.
One of the figures of which Trump is most proud is the record-low unemployment among African Americans.
While Barack Obama let minorities down on this front, Trump was not only able to get them back to work, but he also reduced the number of families collecting entitlement programs like food stamps.
Everyday people are actually prospering under this president — and Guilfoyle didn’t want readers to forget it in her editorial.
Presidential Policies
Guilfoyle went on to note that on the worldwide front, Trump has been working hard to flip trade deficits he believes are hurting American businesses.
He has taken on countries like Mexico and China, which have been taking advantage of the United States for decades.
Do You Think Trump is Doing a Good Job as President?
Yes
No
Next
He is also rebuilding our military and, finally, putting America first.
While the mainstream media tries to portray an administration in turmoil, Guilfoyle is adamant that 2019 should be filled with optimism, not the doom and gloom Democrats and liberals insist is in our future.

Video: Sarah Sanders’ best moments as press secretary revealed

While we see her on almost a daily basis, it is truly hard to appreciate the nonsense Sarah Huckabee Sanders has had to deal with during her time as President Donald Trump’s press secretary.
A new video compiled by IJR is blowing up on social media, highlighting some of Sanders’ best moments defending the president and standing up to the media.
Watch below:
The Liberal Media
It is tough to remember there ever being a more difficult time for someone to be a press secretary for a sitting president.
From Trump’s very first day in office, his administration has been under attack.
Typically, a new president will get a bit of a grace period to allow the administration to take hold, but that never happened here.
It did not take long for Sanders’ predecessor, Sean Spicer, to give in.
Suddenly, Sanders was thrust into the role, enduring attack after attack by a media establishment that is obviously only interested in undermining the President.
Through it all, she has stood her ground and relentlessly countered the attacks.
Bogus Narrative
One of the more amusing moments highlighted in the video is when Sanders called out the media for being fake news.
There was a time when at least one quotable source was required for a story to be reported.
When there was not someone willing to go on the record, the editors had to be able to verify the story from at least two sources.
Today, media outlets like CNN need only hear a couple of people talking around a water cooler to declare them credible as an unnamed source.
How many times have we seen a story blow up on the internet only to have it debunked a few days later?
Do You Think Sarah Sanders is Doing a Good Job as Press Secretary?
Yes
No
Next
It takes a very strong person to stand up to such scrutiny and such an endless stream of attacks, yet Sarah Sanders has done exactly that.
One thing is for sure… if she ever decides to step down — and nobody could blame her for doing that at this point — the person that replaces here will have VERY big shoes to fill.

While pundits speculate Pence replacement, Trump stands with VP ahead of 2020

While pundits speculate Pence replacement, Trump stands with VP ahead of 2020
Michael Vadon / CCL
Rumors are once again circulating about a possible replacement for Vice President Mike Pence on Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential ticket — but according to one columnist, there’s no doubt the president is standing with his VP.
The latest replacement rumors stem from the Oval Office meeting last week wherein President Trump, flanked by a silent Pence, got in a heated battle with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Nanci Pelosi (D-CA) about his long-promised border wall and a possible government shutdown to get the funding he needs. But according to columnist Joshua Spivak, there’s no need to worry about Trump replacing his 2016 running mate.
Sticking with his roots
Writing for the Los Angeles Times, Spivak maintained that “there are very few examples of a vice presidential choice mattering all that much to voters” in U.S. history.
“Some vice presidents have provided an energy boost for a particular ticket,” Spivak wrote, explaining, “Sarah Palin’s selection in 2008 created a stir in John McCain’s campaign, but it is unclear if she managed to help, hurt or do nothing for McCain’s ultimately unsuccessful campaign.”
Spivak went on to note that “vice presidential choices have made even less of a difference when a presidential candidate is seeking reelection. Incumbents run on their record, not their choice of running mates.”
Spivak, who runs The Recall Elections Blog and is a senior fellow at the Hugh L. Carey Institute for Government Reform at Wagner College, also asserted that “changing vice presidents can seem both desperate and disloyal,” another reason Trump is unlikely to replace him on the 2020 ballot.
Do you approve of Mike Pence's job performance as Vice President?
Yes
No
Next
Expanding his base?
But Spivak said that while “Trump will probably calculate that the value of replacing a VP is unlikely to be worth the cost,” there are some reasons for the president to ditch Pence, who was the governor of Indiana prior to moving to the White House.
“Among Trump’s evangelical supporters in particular, Pence is an asset (and an attractive fail-safe in case of impeachment), but because Trump has proved to have such a strong lock on his base, the upside of replacing Pence could compensate for the risks of getting rid of him,” Spivak wrote. “By getting a new running mate, Trump might be able to gain votes beyond that base.”
Moreover, rumors about Trump questioning Pence’s loyalty have been going around for some time now.
“In one conversation after another he has asked aides and advisers a pointed question: Is Mike Pence loyal?” a New York Times report from early November alleged of the president. “Mr. Trump has repeated the question so many times that he has alarmed some of his advisers.”
But the president shut down the rumors soon after via Twitter.

Meanwhile, outlets like Newsweek have already speculated on possible replacements for Pence, including outgoing U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley.

Dershowitz: Campaign Finance Violations Doesn’t Mean Impeachment
By Staff Writer
December 18, 2018 | 7:34 AM EST
On Monday, Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz said he believes President Trump can’t be impeached for campaign finance violations caused by former Trump attorney Michael Cohen.
During an interview on “The Laura Ingraham Show,” Dershowtiz said, “I don’t think [Trump]’s in trouble on campaign finance because people forget that a candidate can contribute as much as he or she wants to their own campaign. The only issue in the case is whether or not the hush money, which was legal, was paid properly.”
It does not seem to me that is an impeachable offense or an offense that would result in any kind of serious prosecution
“Was it done through personal funds, corporate funds, campaign funds?” Dershowitz added. “And we don’t know the answer to that question, so it does not seem to me that is an impeachable offense or an offense that would result in any kind of serious prosecution.”
Michael Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison last week in federal court for breaking campaign finance laws twice when he made a deal with women claiming to have had affairs with Trump to remain silent prior to the 2016 election. The prosecutors also charged him with tax and bank fraud which was the cause for the bulk of his prison sentence.
Cohen will serve three years concurrently with a two-month sentence for charges of lying to Congress about a possible Trump real estate project in Moscow. This charge was added by special counsel Robert Mueller but recommended a reduced sentence for his cooperation.
The incoming House Judiciary Committee chairman, Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., may look into the sentencing memo from the Cohen case and try to turn that into a cause for impeachment.
“Whether they are important enough to justify an impeachment is a different question, but certainly they’d be impeachable offenses because even though they were committed before the president became president, they were committed in the service of fraudulently obtaining the office,” Nadler said to CNN early in the month.
Trump is currently not under investigation for any campaign violations caused by his former attorney.

Trump’s economic policies lead to record low unemployment among black Americans
December 9, 2018
Trump’s economic policies lead to record low unemployment among black Americans
Max Goldberg / CCL
President Donald Trump is continuing to deliver on his economic promises to all Americans, including minorities who have traditionally been left behind during times of progress. For the second time in a single year, the unemployment rate among black Americans fell to a record low of 5.9 percent in November as the U.S. economy continues to grow at a remarkable rate.
Rates haven’t been this low since the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) began tracking unemployment among ethnic groups in 1972. In fact, based on the shrinking employment gap between black workers and the rest of the labor force, economists have good reason to suspect that the current unemployment rate among African-Americans is the lowest ever experienced.
All-time record
The latest figures show that the overall unemployment rate remains at 3.7 percent for the third month in a row. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate among African-Americans fell by .3 percent in a single month, and the new record ties the low achieved in May.
Besides black workers, the most notable job gains went to adult men and workers who lack a high school diploma. Employers have complained that they don’t have the labor pool to fill jobs, so companies are staffing positions with people with lower education levels, causing the unemployment rate among workers who lack a high school diploma to decline to 3.5 percent — the lowest since December 2000.
Despite the rosy outlook, African-Americans continue to lag behind other groups and currently experience the highest rates of unemployment. Among Hispanics, for instance, the rate is 4.5 percent, while whites currently experience unemployment at 3.4 percent, and Asians stand at 2.7 percent.
A promise fulfilled
During his victory speech in November 2016, Trump promised to “be president for all Americans,” and so far, he seems to be on track. Thanks to the GOP tax reform bill, 90 percent of wage earners have experienced higher take-home pay since he took office, and employers are now increasing wages at rates not experienced since before the recession.
“Wage growth has been really solid in 2018…and is ending the year in a very strong place,” Andrew Chamberlain, chief economist at Glassdoor, told NBC News.
The Trump administration has also been successful in combatting poverty, which disproportionately affects black families.
“Average taxpayers with incomes between $10,000 and $20,000, a group that frequently claims refundable tax credits, will have no tax liability and receive an additional refund,” a Joint Economic Committee report from Congress states. According to the report, “those with less than $10,000 in income will see their taxes slashed by more than half.”
America first
Moreover, black men are the demographic most likely to benefit from immigration enforcement, since legal and illegal immigrants tend to take jobs from black communities. An Obama White House report from 2016 concluded that “immigration reform would raise the overall [labor] participation rate by bringing in new workers of prime working age.”
This means that President Trump’s tough stance on immigration is a boon to black workers. His administration has granted fewer visas and cut the number of refugees admitted every year.
“These are measures that will make our community safer and more prosperous,” Trump said in January. “These reforms are supported by the overwhelming majority of Americans.”
Indeed, a recent Harvard-Harris poll found that black Americans prefer reducing legal immigration more than any other demographic. A full 85 percent believe that the U.S. should allow fewer than the 1 million or more immigrants allowed entry before Trump, and 54 percent want to see just 250,000 legal immigrants allowed in the country every year.
Should Trump receive more credit for reducing unemployment rates among minority communities?
Yes
No
Next
Surprise, surprise
Many left-leaning pollsters have dismissed the results of Rasmussen polls showing that Trump enjoys a 36 percent approval rating among African-American voters. But even discredited leftist outlets like CNN have to admit: “It does actually seem that Trump has gained support among African-Americans since the 2016 election.”
Having branded the president as an unapologetic racist, Democrats can’t possibly fathom how their most loyal voters could tolerate Trump. In the words of the Democratic campaign strategist James Carville: “It’s the economy, stupid.”

Ex-federal prosecutor says ‘it’s clear’ President Trump will be indicted

Ex-federal prosecutor says ‘it’s clear’ President Trump will be indicted

Andrew McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor, believes dark days are ahead for President Donald Trump.
During a Fox & Friends interview, McCarthy said: “It’s clear that Trump is the target and he’ll be indicted eventually.”
New York Problems
Other than possible embarrassment and some bad press, not much is expected to come from the now-two-year-long investigation being conducted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
However, the case that was referred to New York prosecutors against former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen might be another matter altogether for President Trump.
McCarthy believes the language used by the courts in the Cohen case makes it quite clear that President Trump is the real target of the investigation.
He also believes that even though Trump is the sitting president and cannot be indicted while in office, that will not protect Trump.
McCarthy believes the case will go through the processes, leading to an indictment that will be pursued after Trump is no longer the president.
After reading the sentencing memo on Cohen, McCarthy said plainly: “I can’t come to any other conclusion.”
Trump Denials
All of this stems from “hush money” being paid to two women who claimed to have had affairs with President Trump.
One of the women, Stormy Daniels, was paid through Michael Cohen, then Trump’s attorney.
Cohen recently flipped on Trump and stated he was acting at the direction of Trump the entire time, something Trump claims is false.
Trump insists Cohen made the payment before advising him of it, but Cohen later requested reimbursement for the payment.
The president has admitted to paying Cohen, but he and his attorneys have stated that money was paid from private funds, not campaign funds.
Do You Think Trump Will Be Indicted for Campaign Finance Violations?
Yes
No
Next
This all comes down to who the courts are going to believe.
Is Trump simply lying to save his own skin or did Cohen lie and tell prosecutors what they wanted to hear in order to get a lighter sentence? Hopefully, we’ll have answers soon.

Is Trump simply lying to save his own skin or did Cohen lie and tell prosecutors what they wanted to hear in order to get a lighter sentence? Hopefully, we’ll have answers soon.

Economic adviser Larry Kudlow says Trump did not know about Huawei CFO arrest before making deal with China

Trade war tensions between the United States and China are now at an all-time high with the arrest and detention of Huawei’s CFO, Meng Wanzhou.
However, White House Economic Advisor Larry Kudlow insists that President Donald Trump was not aware of the move against Meng as he was negotiating a trade war truce with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Venezuela at the recent G-20 Summit.
Why Meng Was Arrested
Meng is being held in Canada for violating sanctions put on Iran by the United States.
She has been in Canada since Dec. 1 awaiting extradition.
Canadian prosecutors have said that she was integral in helping Huawei, a major manufacturer of smartphones, dodge Iranian sanctions.
To add even more tension the situation, Meng also happens to be the daughter of the founder of the company.
Meng first appeared in court on Friday, but the judge has delayed the decision on whether she should be freed on bail.
Meng’s legal team has cited medical issues as part of her defense as to why she should be released.
Reportedly, after she was arrested, she was taken to the hospital to be treated for hypertension. Her attorney argued that this, in addition to her ties in Canada, does not make her a threat to flee to back to China.
The case is expected to resume on Monday with a decision by the judge.
Trade Future
The initial warrant for her arrest was issued and signed in late August, which led many pundits to believe that Trump knew about this and was not negotiating with China in good faith at the summit.
The Trump administration, however, has been adamant that the president was not made aware of the warrant and that it had no impact whatsoever in his stance with China.
Should Meng Be Released on Bail?
Yes
No

Meanwhile, the market on Friday reflected the concern investors have on how this will impact the future of trade between the United States and China.
As the Asian markets opened on Monday morning, that plunge continued, as it did for futures here in the United States.
Congressman Mark Meadows for White House Chief of Staff?
By Staff Writer
December 11, 2018 | 7:27 AM EST
Congressman Mark Meadows, R-N.C, recently put his name out there for the White House Chief of Staff position after John Kelly leaves at the end of the year.
In a statement to the Washington Examiner Meadows said, “serving as [White House] Chief of Staff would be an incredible honor. The President has a long list of qualified candidates and I know he’ll make the best selection for his administration and for the country.”
In a jam-packed news weekend, President Trump announced that current White House Chief of Staff, John Kelly, would be leaving at the end of the year. There has been much tension between Trump and Kelly for quite some time and some reports even suggest they’re no longer on speaking terms.
If Meadows took the job, President Trump could gain some political capital amongst Republicans and his base. Meadows was first elected to the House in 2012 and is currently heads the House Freedom Caucus. This caucus is known for very right-leaning ideology and sticks to their conservative principals. As Chief of Staff, Meadows could walk the tightrope between the very conservative side of the party and Trump could win over the moderate Republicans.
The next chief of staff would undoubtedly have to deal with multiple congressional investigations that the Democrats are pushing. Meadows has been a persuasive member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and could possibly help navigate the harsh road ahead with knowledge of operations and procedures.
It was rumored that the Nick Ayers, the current chief of staff for Vice President Pence, was set to take over the position for President Trump however Trump wanted a two-year commitment. The 36-year-old Ayers is a father to three children and couldn’t commit to such a long term. He also announced over the weekend that he would be leaving his current position at the end of the year.

Thank you @realDonaldTrump, @VP, and my great colleagues for the honor to serve our Nation at The White House. I will be departing at the end of the year but will work with the #MAGA team to advance the cause.

Michael Avenatti says Trump should be indicted in Twitter tirade

Disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti is once again clamoring for the indictment of Donald Trump.
Avenatti believes then-candidate Trump committed two felonies and should be indicted. “Now.”
Michael Avenatti
@MichaelAvenatti
.@realDonaldTrump should be indicted for committing the two felonies designed to get him elected. Now. No court has ever ruled that the POTUS cannot be indicted and there is nothing in the constitution that states as much. It is time for the SCOTUS to decide the issue.

The Case
Avenatti’s tweet was inspired by an announcement by New York federal prosecutors.
The prosecutors alleged that President Trump directed Cohen to make payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal during the 2016 campaign season.
Both women claimed they had affairs with Trump and wanted hush money.
Cohen reportedly made a payment directly to Daniels, which Trump initially said he was unaware of.
However, it was later revealed Trump reimbursed Cohen for the payment — and that is the point Avenatti is focusing on. He is claiming Trump made the payment with campaign funds, which would be a campaign finance violation.
But that argument has been countered by Trump’s team, who claim that Trump made the payment with personal funds, not campaign funds.
Headline Hog
This is just Avenatti trying to become relevant again and nothing more.
His name quickly disappeared from the guest appearance list on liberal media outlets after he was charged with domestic violence.
Avenatti will now do anything he can to get his name back in the headlines, so there is very little anyone can trust right now that is actually coming out of his mouth.
His charges that Trump and his representatives knowingly lied to a judge could, if true, lead to serious legal problems for the president.
Do You Think Avenatti is Right and Trump Should Be Impeached?
Yes
No

But either way, Avenatti will not stop beating this drum — regardless of the facts.

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly has resigned

As President Donald Trump was heading to the Army v. Navy football game, he dropped a bombshell on the media.
Trump confirmed that his current chief of staff, John Kelly, will be leaving his post by the end of the year.
Not Really Retirement
President Trump was very careful not to call Kelly’s choice to leave the administration an actual retirement.
The wording the president used as he discussed the matter with the media made it sound as though Trump fully expected Kelly to serve in some other role in the near future.
Kelly, however, has been mum on the subject, so this is all speculation at this point.
Calming Influence
Few would argue that Kelly brought a much-needed calming influence to this administration.
Prior to Kelly, the seasoned Reince Priebus had been Trump’s chief of staff.
The consensus was that Priebus was being rewarded for holding the party together during the election.
While that may be the case, it was quite apparent early on Priebus did not have what it took to have such a high-ranking position within the Trump organization.
Priebus skirted around a lot of issues, and the White House was reported to have been in chaos with him in charge.
Kelly came in and immediately brought order to the administration.
No longer were individuals allowed to freely walk into the Oval Office, as Kelly strictly regulated who had face time with Trump.
Moving Forward
Nick Ayers, who is currently serving as VP Mike Pence’s chief of staff, is believed to be the name at the top of the list for Kelly’s replacement.
He has plenty of political experience and is much better suited to the current climate.
He can likely better navigate the waters of an opposition Congress and a re-election campaign.
Did Kelly Do a Good Job as Trump’s Chief of Staff?
Yes
No
Next
It will surely be sad to see Kelly leave the administration, but considering what is on the horizon, it is probably the best move for the administration.
Thank you for your service, Mr. Kelly.

Trump reaffirms support of death penalty for cop killers

Trump reaffirms support of death penalty for cop killers
Gage Skidmore / CCL
President Donald Trump on Friday reaffirmed his position that convicted cop killers should be sentenced to death. “We believe the right punishment for all cop killers is called the death penalty,” the president said.
Trump renewed his position during a speech to law enforcement officers at a Kansas City Project Safe Neighborhoods conference.
“It’s called the death penalty”
“You know in some circles that is very controversial to say that — and we have all of the television cameras rolling back here — for me it’s not even a little bit controversial,” said Trump. “You kill a cop, and it’s called the death penalty, OK.”
Watch Trump’s full speech below:
Project Safe Neighborhoods is a Justice Department initiative that seeks to assist law enforcement in specifically targeting the most crime-ridden areas in communities by improving connections between law enforcement, prosecutors, and community leaders, as well as by increasing the prosecution of violent criminals.
“This effort brings together law enforcement, community groups and local leaders together to get the most violent criminals in the most dangerous areas off the streets and behind bars,” Trump explained Friday.
Campaign promises
Support of law enforcement has been a common refrain for the president since his presidential campaign in 2016. As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump promised that, should he win, he would sign an executive order requiring the death penalty for convicted cop killers. But so far, this has been one campaign promise that Trump has yet to fulfill.
Trump has brought up the death penalty multiple times, including in May during a ceremony honoring fallen law enforcement officers. “We’re not going to let bad things happen to our police,” he said in May. “We believe criminals who kill our police should get the death penalty.”
In October, Trump again told law enforcement in Florida, “Reducing crime begins with respecting law enforcement. We believe that criminals who kill our police officers should immediately, with trial, but rapidly as possible, not 15 years later, 20 years later—get the death penalty.”
Despite the talk, it doesn’t seem to be coming to fruition any time soon, as a proposal has yet to be placed before Congress.
Protecting our protectors
As a form of punishment, the death penalty remains controversial. Party affiliation is not the dividing line, as it tends to be with so many other issues. Republicans fall on both sides of the issue, as do Democrats, although the former is more often in favor of the death penalty, while the latter is more often against it.
Do you favor the death penalty as punishment for the murder of law enforcement officers?
Yes
No
Next
Hostility toward law enforcement personnel is on the rise. This year, 50 officers have been killed by gunfire to date, surpassing the 2017 total of 45.
Foreknowledge of the ultimate penalty may deter violence against police, and for this reason, should be seriously considered. Just as officers protect us, so should we protect them, and Trump’s proposal might be one of the better means of doing so.

American presidents from Jimmy Carter to George W. Bush have aspired to attain energy independence, and the U.S. economy under President Donald Trump just realized that goal by becoming a net exporter of crude oil.
It’s the first time the U.S. has achieved the status in roughly 75 years.
Energy golden age
By encouraging drilling and dismantling redundant regulations, the Trump administration has steered the energy sector to new heights. The last time the U.S. sold more petroleum than it bought was in the mid-1940s under Harry Truman, when America’s economy was industrialized for war and Europe was in ruins.
Statistics from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) show that American companies last week netted 211,000 barrels in daily sales of crude and refined products like gasoline and diesel. Figures from the rest of 2018 show that the U.S. typically experiences net imports of around 3 million barrels per day, down from an annual peak of 12 million barrels per day in 2005.
“The U.S. is now a major player in the export market,” said Brian Kessens, who helps manage $16 billion in energy investments at a Kansas-based firm. “We continue to re-tool our export infrastructure along the Gulf Coast to expand capacity, and you continue to see strong demand globally for crude oil.”
Booming sector
Exports should continue to grow, as at least nine terminals are in various stages of planning and construction that will be capable of loading the massive supertankers which carry American crude and refined products to markets around the world. Currently, Americans depend upon a single terminal, the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, to load these ships, and it is expected to experience a record month in December.
New pipelines are being built to carry crude from the country’s fastest-growing oil field in west Texas and New Mexico. The U.S. Geological Service released a report on Thursday revealing that the Delaware Basin, the less-drilled portion of the expansive Permian oil field, contains twice the amount of crude and 18 times the amount of natural gas as the better known Midland Basin.
Much of the oil that the U.S. imports isn’t actually consumed by Americans, but is sent to refineries throughout the country which consume more than 17 million barrels a day. America’s advanced refinery infrastructure has helped turn the U.S. into the world’s top fuel supplier, and for the first time in 40 years, two new major oil refineries plan to further increase output by going online.
Despite these gains, some energy experts are quick to point out that the U.S. is still a regular net importer of oil and remains vulnerable to international market forces. A Bloomberg report exploring America’s new and perhaps temporary role as a net exporter called the landmark “a paper tiger achievement,” and noted that “the U.S. remains exposed to global energy prices, still affected by the old geopolitics of the Middle East.”
Sound policy
Still, the U.S. has reversed its position in the oil and natural gas industry in just a few short years. The shale revolution helped America outpace Russia and Saudi Arabia as the world’s top petroleum supplier, and the Trump administration’s oil-friendly climate has helped buttress and solidify those gains.
With promises to undo the restrictive, Obama-era Clean Power Plan, energy stocks experienced remarkable increases shortly after Trump was elected, and he continued dismantling standards in the oil and methane industries which have boosted production without completely compromising environmental protections.
Does the Trump Administration deserve credit for America's new status as a net exporter of crude oil?
Yes
No
Next
Kathleen Sgamma, president of the Western Energy Alliance, called some of the rules which Trump pledged to undermine “cumbersome record-keeping technicalities that don’t work in the field.”
“We are becoming the dominant energy power in the world,” said Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research. “But, because the change is gradual over time, I don’t think it’s going to cause a huge revolution, but you do have to think that OPEC is going to have to take that into account when they think about cutting.”

The Slow, Steady Trend
Trump has been fighting for his approval rating from the very early days of his administration.
In the early days of his presidency, his approval rating, at least in some polls, was in the low 30s.
As some of his new policies started to come into play, that rating started its long climb.
Of course, that rating also depends on which poll you follow.
Looking at the numbers along the way, many of the polls with lower numbers had as many as 70 percent Democrats in the polling numbers.
The polls that were closer to 50/50 or 40/40/20 always showed higher approval ratings for Trump.
Heading in the Right Direction
Liberals may not think so, but as far as conservatives and those who prioritize immigration and the economy are concerned, this country is finally going in the right direction.
Job markets are at all-time highs across the board.
While people like Bernie Sanders continue to unfairly call Trump a racist, his policies have led to the lowest unemployment rate among minorities in the history of our country.
Do You Think Trump is Doing a Good Job?
Yes
No
Next
A majority of Americans have clearly come around on immigration as well.
This is a number in his approval ratings that continue to climb, contributing significantly to Trump’s overall approval rating.
As long as Congress does not put up roadblocks, it will be hard to stop Trump’s approval rating from continuing to climb.

Actress Meryl Street claims Trump children are ‘in jeopardy’

Actress Meryl Street claims Trump children are ‘in jeopardy’

Hollywood elitists haven’t finished their assault on the President of the United States.
This time, actress Meryl Streep is making the bogus claim that Donald Trump’s children are “in jeopardy” — and she says America should be fearful of this.
Hollywood Liberal Narrative
One of the great mysteries of life is why every time a liberal Hollywood star gets a microphone in front of their face these days, they feel the absolute need to take a shot at President Trump.
During a recent fundraiser, Streep followed suit.
At an event hosted by Stephen Colbert, she was all but given the right to turn the night political by his introduction.
The liberal late-night TV host made it a point to bring up Trump’s comments about Streep’s criticisms of him.
She then insinuated that the president himself had put his children at risk.
Streep was no doubt referring to Robert Mueller’s investigation and the alleged role at least one his sons played in alleged Russian collusion prior to the election.
“His children are in jeopardy and I feel that,” Streep said.
She added: “I would do anything, anything, to get them out of trouble. So, we should be afraid.”
She’s saying that Trump will put the entire country at risk to save his children from going to jail.
The Problem Is…
Unfortunately, at least for Streep, the so-called facts on which she is basing her statement are completely false.
The Mueller investigation has been going on for almost two years, but nothing has come of it and nothing will.
Speculation is already running rampant that when Mueller’s report is eventually released, it will say nothing about collusion.
Meanwhile, the media continue to point to business dealings from almost a decade ago when Trump was seeking the building of a property in Russia that never came to fruition as “evidence.”
Once again, though, that had nothing at all to do with the 2016 election.
Do you think Congress should put an end to Mueller's investigation?
Yes
No
Next
So despite what Streep says, Trump’s children have nothing to worry about.
Mueller won’t find anything — because no one did anything wrong.

‘Witch Hunt!’: Trump defends consideration of Moscow building project

President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Friday to defend the Moscow building project that he “lightly” considered while running for president in 2016.
Trump’s Moscow project made it back into the news after Michael Cohen, his former attorney, pleaded guilty in federal court on Thursday to making false statements related to the project before a Senate committee.
“Oh, I get it! I am a very good developer, happily living my life, when I see our Country going in the wrong direction (to put it mildly). Against all odds, I decide to run for President & continue to run my business-very legal & very cool, talked about it on the campaign trail…….Lightly looked at doing a building somewhere in Russia. Put up zero money, zero guarantees and didn’t do the project. Witch Hunt!” Trump tweeted.

Trump-Russia back in the spotlight
What is known about the project is not much, and that seems to be because it never really got off the ground. Trump isn’t kidding when he says that he “lightly looked at doing a building.” Those around him appear to have been considering it much more seriously than he was.
According to reports, the idea for a Trump building in Moscow was being evaluated in October of 2015. At that time, a Russian real estate developer named Andrey Rozov apparently sent a signed letter of intent to Cohen to begin construction on a Trump World Tower that would include 15 floors of luxury condos, a fitness center, and a spa.
Among those who were trying to push the project through was Felix Sater, a business associate of Trump’s. “Let’s make this happen and build a Trump Moscow,” Sater said to Cohen. “And possibly fix relations between the countries by showing everyone that commerce and business are much better and more practical than politics.”
Sater later explained his idea to Buzzfeed News, saying:
In Russia, the oligarchs would bend over backwards to live in the same building as Vladimir Putin. My idea was to give a $50 million penthouse to Putin and charge $250 million more for the rest of the units. All the oligarchs would line up to live in the same building as Putin.
According to a Fox News insider, Trump was unaware of Sater’s plan, and what’s more is that he would have considered it “stupid.”
Regardless, Trump himself defended the Moscow project, arguing that “there would be nothing wrong if I did do it.” He explained:
I was running my business while I was campaigning. There was a good chance that I wouldn’t have won, in which case I would have gone back into the business, and why should I lose lots of opportunities?
Cohen’s lies
Once a staunch defender of Trump, Cohen has been cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election as well as Trump-Russia conspiracy.
Cohen has now admitted that he lied to a Senate committee about the Moscow project, first telling them that it died in January 2016, then admitting it was still in consideration until at least June. Cohen is also on the record as saying that he lied about not discussing with Trump plans to travel to Russia. Although Trump and Cohen never did make that trip, published text messages show that Cohen did discuss it with Sater, telling him that he could make the trip before the Republican convention and Trump would follow thereafter.
As for his role in the Moscow project, Cohen says that he discussed it with Trump and with members of the Trump family on several occasions. And, prosecutors allege that, in January 2016, he contacted Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov for help.
Not Crimes
Trump, on Friday, completed his Twitter defense by quoting two others on his behalf: Fox’s Gregg Jarrett and legal scholar Alan Dershowitz.
“This demonstrates the Robert Mueller and his partisans have no evidence, not a whiff of collusion, between Trump and the Russians. Russian project legal. Trump Tower meeting (son Don), perfectly legal. He wasn’t involved with hacking.” Gregg Jarrett. A total Witch Hunt!” Trump tweeted.

Months into his investigation, special counsel Robert Mueller has still produced nothing that would even remotely implicate Trump in election collusion with Russia.
Despite this, the left, who are still dreaming of a Trump impeachment, are keeping the possibility alive. Baseless as it is, Trump understands that some will continue to believe it, which could have political consequences down the road — and that is why he took to Twitter to get ahead of this one.

2020: Republican Jeff Flake Throws Down Against Trump
December 1, 2018
Outgoing Republican Senator Jeff Flake is pushing for a primary challenge against President Trump – and he’s open to running himself.
Flake, who is on record as opposing the President on several major policy positions, told CNN’s Poppy Harlow that he’s not ruling out taking on the president.
Flake said: “I’ve been on record many times saying that I hope that a Republican runs in the primary against the president. I think that Republicans need to be reminded what it means to be conservative and what it means to be decent…I’d prefer it be somebody else, but I’m not ruling it out.”
Flake is deluded if he thinks that he has a chance of winning a race against Trump. He was so unpopular that he pulled out of his Senate race before it began. How does he expect to win a presidential contest if he can’t win a Senate seat?
Read the report here. Michael Cohen Reveals The Details
December 1, 2018
President Trump’s former lawyer is squealing – and now he’s revealing the details about just how much he cooperated with the Mueller investigation.
According to the Daily Caller:
Cohen’s attorneys argued in a late-night court filing the longtime Trump booster lied to Congress in order to remain consistent with his former boss’s downplaying of contacts with Russia during the campaign. They also asserted Cohen orchestrated illegal campaign contributions in the form of payments to alleged Trump mistresses in order to protect the former real estate mogul.
The thrust of Cohen’s argument for leniency is his extensive cooperation in the “unique” circumstances in which the special counsel’s investigation is operating.
Cohen’s lawyers, Guy Petrillo and Amy Lester, asserted Cohen’s cooperation helped legitimize an investigation that is under constant attack by Trump. They also argue Cohen is cooperating even though Trump reportedly suggested in private he is willing to pardon associates ensnared in the special counsel’s probe.
So in other words, Cohen is arguing that he deserves leniency because he’s a rat. And not just an ordinary rat – a super-rat.
What Cohen doesn’t provide evidence of is any wrongdoing by Donald Trump. Which makes his story both strange and sad: why did he fold so easily?

Trump Enemy Accused Of Rape – Lock Him Up
December 1, 2018
Multiple women have come forward with sexual assault accusations against famous astrophysicist and beloved “truth warrior” of the left, Neil deGrasse Tyson. Assault accusations range from groping to outright rape.
Tyson has been an outspoken critic of Trump, armchair quarterbacking from behind his Twitter account from day one.
Unfortunately for him, his sordid past has finally caught up with him, and it’s not pretty. The liberal media has conveniently ignored these accusations.
Tyson is just one of a growing list of liberal darlings that have been exposed by women they’ve taken advantage of. It’s ironic that the liberal #metoo movement has been most effective at bringing down their very own.

Is the left blowing Trump's potential Russian business deals that never happened out of proportion?
Yes
No

Months into his investigation, special counsel Robert Mueller has still produced nothing that would even remotely implicate Trump in election collusion with Russia.
Despite this, the left, who are still dreaming of a Trump impeachment, are keeping the possibility alive. Baseless as it is, Trump understands that some will continue to believe it, which could have political consequences down the road — and that is why he took to Twitter to get ahead of this one.

2020: Republican Jeff Flake Throws Down Against Trump
December 1, 2018
Outgoing Republican Senator Jeff Flake is pushing for a primary challenge against President Trump – and he’s open to running himself.
Flake, who is on record as opposing the President on several major policy positions, told CNN’s Poppy Harlow that he’s not ruling out taking on the president.
Flake said: “I’ve been on record many times saying that I hope that a Republican runs in the primary against the president. I think that Republicans need to be reminded what it means to be conservative and what it means to be decent…I’d prefer it be somebody else, but I’m not ruling it out.”
Flake is deluded if he thinks that he has a chance of winning a race against Trump. He was so unpopular that he pulled out of his Senate race before it began. How does he expect to win a presidential contest if he can’t win a Senate seat?
Read the report here. Michael Cohen Reveals The Details
December 1, 2018
President Trump’s former lawyer is squealing – and now he’s revealing the details about just how much he cooperated with the Mueller investigation.
According to the Daily Caller:
Cohen’s attorneys argued in a late-night court filing the longtime Trump booster lied to Congress in order to remain consistent with his former boss’s downplaying of contacts with Russia during the campaign. They also asserted Cohen orchestrated illegal campaign contributions in the form of payments to alleged Trump mistresses in order to protect the former real estate mogul.
The thrust of Cohen’s argument for leniency is his extensive cooperation in the “unique” circumstances in which the special counsel’s investigation is operating.
Cohen’s lawyers, Guy Petrillo and Amy Lester, asserted Cohen’s cooperation helped legitimize an investigation that is under constant attack by Trump. They also argue Cohen is cooperating even though Trump reportedly suggested in private he is willing to pardon associates ensnared in the special counsel’s probe.
So in other words, Cohen is arguing that he deserves leniency because he’s a rat. And not just an ordinary rat – a super-rat.
What Cohen doesn’t provide evidence of is any wrongdoing by Donald Trump. Which makes his story both strange and sad: why did he fold so easily?

Trump Enemy Accused Of Rape – Lock Him Up
December 1, 2018
Multiple women have come forward with sexual assault accusations against famous astrophysicist and beloved “truth warrior” of the left, Neil deGrasse Tyson. Assault accusations range from groping to outright rape.
Tyson has been an outspoken critic of Trump, armchair quarterbacking from behind his Twitter account from day one.
Unfortunately for him, his sordid past has finally caught up with him, and it’s not pretty. The liberal media has conveniently ignored these accusations.
Tyson is just one of a growing list of liberal darlings that have been exposed by women they’ve taken advantage of. It’s ironic that the liberal #metoo movement has been most effective at bringing down their very own.
