PROGRESSIVE’S ‘INTERPRETATION AND INTENT’ OF TRUMP’S WORDS IN HIS EXECUTIVE ORDER, DON’T MATTER, AND EITHER DOES AMERICA'S SAFETY!

By Jonathan E.P. Moore, and Friends of America!

PROGRESSIVE’S ‘INTERPRETATION AND INTENT’ OF TRUMP’S WORDS IN HIS EXECUTIVE ORDER, DON’T MATTER, AND EITHER DOES AMERICA'S SAFETY!

Americans who have lost their way by taking an 8-year sabbatical from common sense and trusting that when they got back they would be coming home to the same Constitutional Republic that Americans have lived with for the last 240 plus years?  I

don't they realize that if it weren't for the silent majority coming to the rescue that Obama’s and Hillary’s true plans for the transformation of our Constitutional Republic to Socialism was very close to coming a reality! Now let's get to the real story of the day, and that's Trump’s executive order where there is no mention of Muslims, no mention of a ban, and no mention of him abandoning the responsibilities of the oath of office he took when he became President! Obama might not have cared about the oath, and surely didn't follow it, but businessman Trump does, and so will all of his cabinet nominees that the Dems are dragging their feet on and not approving, and because of this continuation of Obama's policies through carry over fill-ins from Obama's administration, President Donald Trump had to replace the acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and fire the acting attorney general! If you have to ask why, you’ve haven’t been paying attention to the torpedoing  of President Trump's executive order by the Obama, still in place hangover, DOJ!  

Obama got his cabinet nominees quickly, and with the economy being his top priority, and cutting the deficit in half being the main 2 goals, he handpicked a cabinet that had a combined total of only 8% who had ever held a job in the private sector, never hired or fired anyone, and didn't have a clue about the first thing about any of the things that needed to be fixed! Now these over the hill progressive democrats/Socialist’ have decided on playing politics and is more important than allowing President Trump to do his job to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

OBAMA’S LEGACY OF IDIOTS AND IDEOLOGUES, AND CABINET PICKS!
Here is a chart which shows past presidents and the percentage of each president's cabinet appointees who had previously worked in the private sector – you know, a real-life business, not a government job? Remember what that is? A private business?  * (Teddy) Roosevelt – 38%, * Taft - 40%, * Wilson - 52%, * Harding - 49%, * Coolidge - 48%, * Hoover - 42%, * FDR - 50%, * Truman -50%, * Eisenhower - 57%, * Kennedy -30%, * LBJ -47%, * Nixon -53%, * Ford - 42%, * Carter -32%, * Reagan -56%, * GHWB - 51%, * Clinton -39%, * GWB -55%

 And the Winner is, you guessed it:  * Obama – 8%

 * This is the guy who wanted to tell YOU how to run YOUR life! ONLY ONE IN TWELVE in the Obama Cabinet HAS EVER HAD A JOB.

 *YEP, EIGHT PERCENT! 

 Okay – so I read this, and thought, how can that be possible, I mean only 8% with real work experience outside of government. So I decided to go through the list of cabinet members and other with similar rank, and can tell you that the list consists of lawyers, and politicians for the most part. The closest thing to private industry work experience which I can find out of the following 23 people, including Obama himself, is a few years of consultancy work, by only 2 people. And these jobs were when they were starting out in their careers. In other words, they were grunts, and did what they were told, and then proceeded to find work in the less challenging government sector. By the looks of it, Obama's percentage of top advisors with actual private sector work experience, other than being a lawyer, is 0.0%. Here is the complete list of Obama's top cabinet officials:

 - Barack Obama - community organizer, lawyer and politician

 - Vice President of the United States: Joseph R. Biden - lawyer and politician

 - Department of State: Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton – lawyer, first lady and politician

 - Department of the Treasury: Secretary Timothy F. Geithner – 3 years working for Kissinger Associates (Henry Kissinger) and then the rest in government

 - Department of Defense: Secretary Robert M. Gates – armed forces and CIA

 - Department of Justice: Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. – lawyer, DA, etc.

 - Department of the Interior: Secretary Kenneth L. Salazar – lawyer, political; staffer and politician

 - Department of Agriculture: Secretary Thomas J. Vilsack – politician

 - Department of Commerce: Secretary Gary F. Locke lawyer and politician

 - Department of Labor: Secretary Hilda L. Solis - political staffer, public service and politician

 - Department of Health and Human Services: Secretary Kathleen Sebelius - lobbyist and politician

 - Department of Housing and Urban Development: Secretary Shaun L.S. Donovan – public service& politics

 - Department of Transportation: Secretary Ray LaHood - teacher, public service and politician, political staffer

 - Department of Energy: Secretary Steven Chu - researcher, nobel laureate and professor

 - Department of Education: Secretary Arne Duncan - educational advocate and administrator

 - Department of Veterans Affairs: Secretary Eric K. Shinseki – military

 - Department of Homeland Security: Secretary Janet A. Napolitano – lawyer/politician

 ** The following positions have the status of Cabinet-rank:

White House Chief of Staff: Rahm I. Emanuel – history on the staff of various politicians

 - Environmental Protection Agency: Administrator Lisa P. Jackson – EPA and NJ DEP

 - Office of Management & Budget: Director Peter R. Orszag – Brookings Institute and govt experience

 - United States Trade Representative: Ambassador Ronald Kirk - lawyer, politician and lobbyist

 - United States Ambassador to the United Nations: Ambassador Susan Rice – mgt consultant for McKinsey for a few years in early 1990s, then politics and Brookings institute

 - Council of Economic Advisers Chair - Christina Romer - education

 

Yup – these are the people who we were relying on to get us out of this economic crisis. They are all do-gooders, and have spent most of their life trying to get other people to elect them to office so they can tell us what we should be doing. I do not doubt the intentions and public service contributions that any of these folks have made, but is this the administration we voted for? Obama promised change, and it is happened, for the worse!
Now take Trump who probably has nominated the best of the best to his cabinet who want to give back to the country that gave them the opportunity to achieve the American Dream! Through hard work and dedication they have made it to the top of their profession in their individual fields, but if you were to ask anyone on the progressive left, you would think that these brilliant men, some of which are working for a 'dollar' a year, committed a crime and should be prosecuted and harassed for volunteering their service to an America that is very much in need of their talent! 
When did Americans get lazy and accept what they're being told, how to run your life, tell you who you are, and tell you who you are not. When did we become so stupid to take in these unvetted illegal immigrants and refugees in, when their neighbors, who have common culture and belief structure, 'won't' take them in? Since when did we decide that we wanted to open our borders to a culture that won't assimilate, won't follow our laws, and has a mandate to eliminate our Christian base that is represented by 77% of all Americans...?  

WHAT’S THE END GAME THAT’S BEING PLAYED HERE WITH THE REFUGEE CRISIS, AND WHY AREN’T GULF STATES TAKING THEM IN??

They've risked their lives to escape war in Syria. Most of Europe has struggled to deal with their masses, and has at least tried to answer a humanitarian call of a magnitude not seen since World War II.

But no Syrian refugees have been resettled in Persian Gulf nations like Kuwait, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, countries with significant financial and political interest in Syria.

"Other countries need to do more," tweeted Nadim Houry, Human Rights Watch deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa. He called those wealthy countries' inaction on the Syrian refugee crisis "shameful."

Officials in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and the UAE defend themselves by noting that each has given millions of dollars to the United Nations to help the refugees. The UAE says it's given more than $530 million in relief aid. They stress that Syrians have entered Gulf states on visas, and stayed.

And they also employ a "What about them?" defense, noting that the Gulf states aren't the only nations not helping give homes to victims of war. Amnesty International points out that other high-income countries like Russia, Japan, Singapore and South Korea have offered zero resettlement options.

The U.N. has been direct. It wants all nations which are developed to open their borders.

It's more than a matter of generosity; it's also practical, some argue. Gulf citizens have much in common with Syrians. They speak Arabic, like most Syrians. And those states are wealthier than many countries, such as Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan, that have accepted refugees.

Some say Saudi Arabia and Qatar have an obligation to help victims of a war in which those nations have been involved through their financial support of rebel groups that have fought Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

It's possible that one of the reasons that the Gulf states haven't been welcoming is that the concept of a refugee doesn't even exist there.

Legally, they're not obligated to help. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and other Gulf states are among the few nations in the world that have not signed a 1951 U.N. treaty on refugees. That's a key legal document that defines what a refugee is and spells out their rights and states' legal obligations. But since Gulf states haven't signed the treaty, any victim of war would need to meet the same standards as anyone else to obtain a visa.

He told CNN that there's a belief that accepting Syrians who are fleeing ISIS only appeases the terror group. It would feed "into the violence in the region, which is already the most violent region on Earth," he said.

The Gulf states are the most stable nations in the region, he explained, and getting too involved could risk that.

It's a "shortcoming" of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other Gulf states, he said, that they don't have laws that allow for more "elaborate refugee programs" like those of European nations.

"We have not been as sophisticated," he said.

The situation is so bad and there's such a huge immediate need, Abdulla said Gulf states should perhaps "go out of our way without any need for a law. ... The sooner we do this, the better off we are."

WITH TRUMP TAKING HIS CAMPAIGN RHETORIC AND OATH OF OFFICE SERIOUSLY……..

President Donald Trump on Friday signed a promised executive order temporarily suspending the nation's refugee resettlement program and barring immigrants from nations that harbor "would-be terrorists."

Although the text of the executive order released by the White House does not specifically mention the Islamic faith, it contains language connoting it is targeting Muslims. The text also evokes 9/11, which was carried out by terrorists from nations unaffected by Trump's order.

"The United States cannot, and should not, admit those who do not support the Constitution, or those who would place violent ideologies over American law," the order reads.

It goes on to cite Western stereotypes and rare barbaric acts typically and ignorantly associated with Islam.

In addition, the United States should not admit those who engage in acts of bigotry or hatred (including "honor" killings, other forms of violence against women, or the persecution of those who practice religions different from their own) or those who would oppress Americans of any race, gender or sexual orientation.

Before Trump signed the order, it had been widely reported he intended to bar refugees seeking asylum in the United States if they came from Syria and six other Middle Eastern and African nations that Obama declared were high risk for terrorists back in 2011. The Department of Homeland Security ordered staff abroad to halt refugee-screening interviews, Reuters reported.

Reports of Trump's actions sparked large protests Wednesday in New York City and other major U.S. cities, under the #NoBanNoWall rallying cry. But Trump made good on campaign rhetoric Friday, having promised to broadly suspend or ban Muslim immigration and refugee resettlement until "extreme vetting" measures could be taken.

"I hereby proclaim that the entry of nationals of Syria as refugees is detrimental to the interests of the United States and thus suspend any such entry, until such time as I have determined that sufficient changes have been made to the [U.S. Refugee Admissions Program] to ensure that admission of Syrian refugees is consistent with the national interest," Trump states in the order.

What Trump is doing is using a little extreme vetting before they're let in...his blocking has nothing to do with stopping them from coming in, just making sure they're good to go, or should I say come......

DOES ANYBODY, ESPECIALLY THE ‘PAID TO REPORT’ MEDIA, REMEMBER WHEN OBAMA & CLINTON BANNED IRAQI REFUGEES IN 2011 FOR 6 MONTHS??  ……NO??

Although the Obama administration currently refuses to temporarily pause its Syrian refugee resettlement program in the United States, the State Department in 2011 stopped processing Iraq refugee requests for six months after the Federal Bureau of Investigation uncovered evidence that several dozen terrorists from Iraq had infiltrated the United States via the refugee program.

After two terrorists were discovered in Bowling Green, Kentucky, in 2009, the FBI began reviewing reams of evidence taken from improvised explosive devices (IEDs) that had been used against American troops in Iraq. Federal investigators then tried to match fingerprints from those bombs to the fingerprints of individuals who had recently entered the United States as refugees!

The terrorists were not taken into custody until 2011. Shortly thereafter, the U.S. State Department stopped processing refugee requests from Iraqis for six months in order to review and revamp security screening procedures!

President Barack Obama has thus far refused bipartisan calls to pause his administration’s Syrian refugee program, which many believe is likely to be exploited by terrorists seeking entry into the United States. The president has not explained how his administration can guarantee that no terrorists will be able to slip into the country by pretending to be refugees, as the Iraqi terrorists captured in Kentucky did in 2009. One of those terrorists, Waad Ramadan Alwan, even came into the United States by way of Syria, where his fingerprints were taken and given to U.S. military intelligence officials.

Obama has also refused to explain how his administration’s security-related pause on processing Iraq refugee requests in 2011 did not “betray our deepest values.” ~~By Sean Davis, a Friend of America!

DOES ANYONE THINK THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A MUSLIM OR TWO IN THE BUNCH?

DOES ANYONE THINK THAT OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS FROM 'OLD' DIDN'T MAKE PREPARATIONS FOR WHAT'S GOING ON IN AMERICA TODAY?

The Immigration and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952 revised the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality for the United States.

That act, which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of Congress regarding the immigration of Aliens to the US and remains in effect today. Among the many issues, it covers one in particular, found in Chapter 2 Section 212, is the prohibition of entry to the US if the Alien belongs to an organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by "force, violence, or other unconstitutional means."

This, by its very definition, rules out Islamic immigration to the United States, but this law is being ignored by the White House. Islamic immigration to the US would be prohibited under this law because the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam, which is antithetical to the US government, the Constitution, and to the Republic.

All Muslims who attest that the Koran is their life's guiding principal subscribe to submission to Islam and its form of government.

Now the political correct crowd would say that Islamists cannot be prohibited from entering the US because Islam is a religion.

Whether it is a religion is immaterial because the law states that Aliens who are affiliated with any "organization" that advocates the overthrow of our government are prohibited.

ISLAM- A RELIGION BASED ON TERRORISM!

To understand Islam, you have to accept certain facts about this religion. The impact of Islam on the daily life of Muslims is far greater than that found in the Western Culture since the Middle Ages. Muslims advance a definition that Islam is a shining beacon against the darkness of repression, segregation, intolerance, and racism.

NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH!!!

Islam has no fundamental concept of Inalienable Rights as mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. Islam does not permit the individual to enjoy the freedoms of action and association characteristic of the Democracy that so many Western cultures currently enjoy today. Islam is a religion in name only because of a reference to "Allah" as their Deity. A well-known fact is that Islam is a totalitarian ideology that rejects Democracy, personal freedom, and every other religion. The ideals of anti-Semitism and anti-Western Culture run rampant throughout Islam. The Laws of Man are meaningless and have absolutely no relevance in Muslim culture because they are without any direct reference to the Koran or Shariah Law and therefore they have no place in Muslim life. Islamic law/Shariah Law is completely incompatible with Freedom, Democracy, and Liberty, or any other government where the people have an actual voice in government or the will of the people matters.

WHEN IT COMES TO TRUMPING THE ‘AGENDA JOURNALISTS’ ABOUT THE EXECUTIVE ORDER SLOWING DOWN IMMIGRATION ENTRANCE FOR 90 DAYS THEY HAVE JUST PROVEN TO US AGAINHOW THEY HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT WHAT’S GOING ON, AND WHY THE SILENT MAJORITY DECIDED TO COME ALIVE AND WALKING AMONGST US TODAY!

WHAT ABOUT THIS LITTLE OVERSIGHT, AND BY COINCIDENCE, 6 MONTHS BEFORE OBAMA TOOK HIS 'MEANINGLESS' OATH OF OFFICE!!...A security van carrying blank visas and passports was hijacked near Manchester in north England at 6:40 a.m. Monday, 28 July 2008. At least 3,000 blank passports and visa stickers in 24 brown cardboard boxes - intended for distribution to embassies and consulates abroad - were stolen.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), which was responsible for the delivery, was entrusted to ship them abroad. An FCO spokesman said: "Although we have never used armored vehicles, which are Much less flexible and more expensive than the security vans we currently use, we have used non-armored security vans for 15 years without incident."

The blank visa stickers - also called "vignettes" - and blank passports were destined for British embassies overseas for distribution to British nationals in other countries, the Foreign Office said.

The Foreign Office spokesman acknowledged the theft was a serious breach and said an immediate review had been ordered.

The van was en route with parcels from the premises of 3M Security and Printing Systems, the production site in Oldham outside Manchester, to the Royal Air Force base at Northolt northwest of London. The driver stopped briefly to purchase a paper, and the van was then hijacked - with the passenger - and driven to a nearby location.

The passenger was threatened but unharmed, and the 24 boxes with the documents were removed.
I know this is the second time I've posted this image, but I feel that if people didn't know this was an option for the President to use, and existed, they do now.....!

There is really only one thing you need to take away from what Trump is doing with his executive order, and that is to protect and defend America, and our freedoms and rights that are granted to all legal citizens under the Constitution and bill of rights!

TRUMP’S ONLY CRIME IS TO DELIVER ON THE PROMISES HE MADE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND TAKING THE OATH OF OFFICE SERIOUSLY!

By Jonathan E.P. Moore, and Friends of America!
TRUMP’S ONLY CRIME IS TO DELIVER ON THE PROMISES HE MADE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND TAKING THE OATH OF OFFICE SERIOUSLY!

Who would ever think that the biggest attacks on President Trump would be living up to and delivering on his promises he made to the American people, and following the oath of office to

being the President of the United States of America! For all that forgot what that oath was, like ex-President and traitor to the rule of law and Constitution, Barack Obama did, it goes like this…

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Living up to your promises and following the oath of office to be President of the United States have 'NEVER' been a joke to the American people like it has been to the Nazi George Soros’s funded Socialist Candidates and politicians Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and for the last 240+ years! Is it just a coincidence that over the last 8 years Political Correctness and Implicit Bias are now a major part of the ‘Paid to Report’ Media’s use of their ‘Agenda Journalists’ and their interpreted and intended journalism to undermine everything that America has stood for at home and around the world?

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen such division and harmful rhetoric against members of family, extended family, fellow coworkers and neighbors! Trump’s ‘New’ America First Party has had a few growing pains, a few hiccups, and speed bumps when it comes to the old guard of the Republican Party, but have now found common ground, working out their differences, and without the help of the ‘Paid to Report’ Media's two cents. The old Democratic Party hasn’t followed in the business model that helped the ‘right’ find their way, and chose to continue on with Obama and Hillary's Socialist agenda and policies, and letting those beliefs be their guide into the future of America and their children's future.

The main problem here is that everybody seems to think that Trump is doing something other than enforcing the same laws that Obama has ignored for the last 8 years when it came to immigration! We also know Hollywood elitists, like Obama, lie and don't live up to their promises! I don't know about you but after Trump won, I though the Hollywood elitist's 'swamp' was being drained on their own by catching the first plane out of the country, so, what's going on with that? 
Just last night during the SAG awards we witnessed another 'Fake' news story 'free for all' bashing Trump because there is no longer a Media that cares about the truth, but ratings and profits only!
 Click here>  ANOTHER 'FAKE' NEWS AND BOOBS S.A.G. AWARD MOMENT

COUNTRIES IN TRUMP’S BAN WERE IDENTIFIED BY THE ‘OBAMA’ ADMINISTRATION!

In the hours since President Trump signed an executive order on immigration that impacted citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries, many have raised questions about the rationale behind including those specific nations.

When pressed why these seven first and why not include other countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia, Spicer noted, "...we are looking at all of this holistically...those were identified by the previous administration, there were further travel restrictions already in place from those seven countries...what the president did was take the first step through this executive order of ensuring that we are looking at the entire system..."

Hollywood has become, like 'Agenda Journalism,' the problem with getting back to too law and

order in this country, and they will keep fabricating 'Fake' news or anything else to extinguish the light of that 'shining city on the hill' known as America! To bypass the benefits of assimilation just proves these unvetted immigrants and refugees want to be here for reasons to push an agenda of hate, disrespect our founding fathers, our Constitution, and our Constitutional Republic! 

Trump is right to slow up the immigration process until the past immigration laws, that were changed unconstitutionally by Obama, are put back into play and followed. Christianity is the number one prosecuted religion in the world outside of America, and when only 1 ½ percent of unvetted illegal immigrants and refugees coming to this country are Christian, I see a ‘Huuuge’ red flag, and if you don’t, after observing what’s going on with Christians being singled out and beheaded and young female children being gang raped in our ally’s immigrant infested countries in Europe, then there is something definitely wrong with your outlook on the future of America! ~~

ISLAM, BY LAW IS PROHIBITED FORM US IMMIGRATION!

The Immigration and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952 revised the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality for the United States.

It’s only been a week and Trump has produced more excitement and promise in America than Obama did in the last 8 years. The gamble the “Will’ of the American people took was ‘Huuuge,’ and appears to be paying off.

A businessman has deadlines and obligations to fulfill or he’ll go broke, and politicians are constantly taking the non-committal walking the fence approach to staying relevant, and staying employed at the expense of the taxpayer.  Politicians don’t need balls, but a silver tongue to spin the facts in their own favor, and Businessmen have to perform, get it right, and understand the ‘art of the deal’ in order to survive and fight another day.

Businessmen live by budgeting, depending on coworkers to do their part to get the job done, on time, and hopefully under budget! Shouldering, foreseeing and projecting the unexpected overrides and costs to enable businessmen to make a profit, but that’s only after bidding to get the contract and being cheaper than the competition!

Politicians need a leg up on the competition and looking for people to finance their attempt at stardom without using a dime of their own money. Selling their souls to the highest bidder

comes with a price, and collected when the investor’s horse comes in!

Trump, the outsider non-politician business man beat out the competition, got the contract, and is running ahead of schedule and under budget! The money he saved before even coming to office along with the jobs he’s either saved or coming back to America, have paid for the ‘wall,’ and more. So, you progressives on the left can take a deep breath and blow into the next brown paper bag when your self-generated news shit hits the fan again!

Both the one and the same ‘Paid to Report’ and ‘Agenda Journalists’ are trying to be the news, and not reporting it! It has gotten so bad with Trump using ‘Twitter’ to bypass the Media’s biased interpretation and intent, are now being forced to generate their own ‘Fake’, half-truths, and innuendos news. I have to wonder about whether or not the weak minded, progressive left will ever be able to kick the dishonest ‘Media’ habit, and just use a little common sense and pride in America to help make America great again?

The Media’s NEW ‘Fake’ self-generated news story has to do with Trump’s phone being hacked, but I just wonder if that is just another ploy to get Trump back into the press room and baiting him into saying something that the old outsider non-politician might be tripped up on again like back in President Trump’s old Primary days! There is nothing more the 'Agenda Journalists' wants then to get Trump away from the simple 140-character worth of Twitter’s precise messaging, and have the ability to put their 15 minute of fame spin on Trump's words! You do remember how Hillary said ‘Words Matter,’  but so does President Trump know that he's not going to fall for either the fishing, or the bait again!  ~~

The elite left and their propagandists in the media are already in hysterics over President Trump’s first week in office, but for most Americans there are no surprises here.

The president is doing exactly what he has said he would do for the last two years on the campaign – immediately get to work focusing on jobs, immigration and shrinking government. And guess what: He’s going to continue.

Democrats, in response, are foaming at their mouths, although one wonders if they have any foam left. How odd. They should welcome this examination. If voter fraud really is a fevered, baseless, Right-wing fantasy, as they reliably insist, this investigation will vindicate them and make Trump look like a cranky, paranoid conspiracist. Liberals should smile and egg Trump on.

Democrats and their sentinels in the Old Guard media unconvincingly argue that Trump offers “no evidence” of voter fraud, so don’t investigate. This total non-sequitur is akin to a doctor looking into a patient’s eyes and saying, “I see no evidence of lung cancer, so let’s skip that chest x-ray.”

In their hearts, the Left knows Trump is right, at least on the existence of voter fraud. And that’s what terrifies them. His investigation will highlight the fraud that exists and, furthermore, show whether these problems are as pervasive as Trump believes.

Indeed, registration irregularities are disturbingly routine. According to a 2012 Pew Center for the States report, 1.8 million dead Americans were registered to vote. Also, 2.75 million Americans were enrolled in two states each, while 68,725 were enrolled in three. Indeed, Pew found, “24 million — one of every eight — active voter registrations in the United States are no longer valid or are significantly inaccurate.” ~~By Deroy Murdock, a Friend of America!

Just because people can’t afford or access a computer to get the truth, don’t know where the libraries are in their communities to use a computer to get the truth, and in America illegally because of Obama’s ‘Pay to Play’ open border masses coming to help Obama steal the vote through strength in numbers, has set the fate of Print Media on the very famous death spiral!

The media still lives in a bubble where it’s the reality that’s wrong.

When Steve Bannon, President Trump’s chief strategist, told the New York Times, “The media here is the opposition party. They don’t understand this country. They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States,” it was true.

Putting aside how the media had no problem with the Obama administration saying the same thing in 2009 about Fox News, rather than recognize just how far the profession of journalism has fallen from its purpose, journalists responded indignantly.

But what Bannon said is what they’ve been doing for more than a year.

Yes, after the first round of outrage over Trump’s announcement speech, in which the media still falsely claim he called all Mexicans rapists, there was a honeymoon period where they showered him with coverage. But they didn’t afford Trump and Trump alone an hour-long phone interview so Americans could get to know this candidate. They did it for ratings.

The tone of coverage changed dramatically around the conventions. A billion dollars in free airtime later, Trump was the nominee and it was time to destroy him.

But they couldn’t destroy him. No matter how hard they tried, Trump remained within striking distance of Hillary Clinton. On Nov. 8, Trump struck and won the election.

He didn’t win because he spent the most money; Hillary’s spending dwarfed his. He didn’t win because he was the best campaigner; his speeches were often disjointed and contradictory. He won because voters, particularly in the Midwest, believed in whatever version of Donald Trump mattered to them the most. And no one in the media saw it coming.

That’s a major problem for journalists in the age of social media, where connecting with your audience, even tangentially, matters.

It also matters when reporters are supposed to report on what is happening. The 2016 election was the equivalent of missing a tsunami – the ground shook when he won the nomination, the alarms were going off as he remained close in the polls, and still they were all wet-on election day. And they’ve been mad as a cat after a bath since.

That brings us to the other part of Bannon’s quote, the part the media doesn’t want to talk about. “The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut,” he said. And while most headlines stopped there, Bannon did not. He continued with, “and just listen for a while.”

It wasn’t a new sentence. It was the same sentence, though you wouldn’t know it from any of the headlines, tweets or talking heads who clutched their pearls over someone in the White House telling the media to “keep its mouth shut.”

They dishonestly played it as a “threat to the First Amendment,” because outrage is cheap and self-reflection is hard.

Journalists, especially on the national beat, live in an insulated world populated by other journalists and like-minded, self-described policy wonks. Even if they happen to have come from the Midwest or somewhere else people do actual work for a living, they undoubtedly spent their youth yearning to leave. Having hated where they grew up, that economic reality is easy to escape and forget in recession-proof Washington, when you type and talk for a living.

Listening is only for people who “matter,” not those who labor. Industrial areas are places they visit every four years, like the zoo. You don’t listen to the animals at the zoo. They pop in, write their stories about blue-haired old ladies and how quaint it is, then head back to the DC cocktail circuit as a hero who can regale their peers with tales of how they survived some filthy diner lacking a proper brunch menu. “You mean they didn’t have mimosas?” The horror.

Bannon is absolutely right that journalists should shut their pie holes and open their ears for a while. But it won’t do any good if they do so only in places you can reach via an Acela train.

Cable news is partly to blame for this. You don’t get booked if you aren’t entertaining and opinionated. And you don’t get a contributor deal with a network if you aren’t controversial. None of those attributes are part of journalism or used to be. Then again, listening used to be a part of journalism too.

So was digging – establishing and cultivating sources. Investigating is barely even a part of investigative journalism anymore. Now reporters are given things and it’s reported as fact. Since so much of their work is online now, it’s easy to fix it later if it turns out wrong or incomplete. There’s a happy hour to get to.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans living in flyover country crack a beer in their local bar or VFW Hall and marvel at what they have done. They had voted for Democrats for 20 years, but this time, they decided a billionaire from New York better represented their interests than the smug scribes who make a quadrennial pilgrimage to flyover country.

These Americans had a story to tell. And the people who should have been listening were too busy doing other things.

DEMOCRATS DEFENDING THE UNDEFENSIBLE, OBAMACARE!

By Jonathan E.P. Moore, and Friends of America!
DEMOCRATS DEFENDING THE UNDEFENSIBLE, OBAMACARE!
Aren’t you tired of the Progressive’s going out of their way to let all Americans know that 20 Million people might lose their free healthcare if Obamacare is repealed! They keep running their Progressive 'Pie Holes' about the stats coming from the CBO (Congressional Budget Office), but what they're not telling you is those numbers don't take into account the replacement portion of their half-truth, again! Every American wants every 'Legal' American citizen to have healthcare, and to think anything else is just a fabrication of their imagination, and that's a no-brainer!
Yes, 'Agenda Journalists,' Republicans have offered Obamacare alternatives!

Republicans have introduced at least four comprehensive alternatives to Obamacare, and despite what the Progressive left and 'Agenda Journalists' claim, they have! Does anybody think that Obama would allow anything to get in the way of his signature legislation and wouldn't veto any other possibilities? .......HELLO!!
The Patients' Choice Act, introduced on May 20, 2009, in the House by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and in the Senate by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla. They claim the bill would:
– emphasize prevention
– create a health care market through state-based exchanges
– make affordable premiums
– provide penalties for insurance companies that don’t accept patients with pre-existing conditions
– create regional pooling arrangements
– expand Health Savings Accounts
– expand Health Savings Accounts
– prevent tax increases or new government spending
– clean up Medicaid and Medicare
– include ideas from states
There is no Congressional Budget Office score for this plan, so claims should be taken with a grain of salt, just as with Obamacare.
The Empowering Patients First Act that was introduced on July 30, 2009, by Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., would first repeal Obamacare and replace it with a “patient-centered” solution that would:
– provide tax incentives for purchasing health insurance
– limit abortion funding
– prevent discrimination against companies who object to covering abortion based on religious beliefs
– improve HSAs
– allow for health insurance pooling among individuals and small employers
– allow insurance to be purchased across state lines
– reform Medicaid and Medicare
– increase transparency for claim reporting
Again, there’s no CBO score for this bill, but it’s an alternative nonetheless.
The Patient OPTION Act
was introduced on Aug. 1 by Rep. Paul Broun, R-Ga., and would first

repeal Obamacare and then focus on a patient-centered solution that would:

– allow individuals to deduct all health care expenses, including insurance
– increase contribution limits for HSAs
– move Medicare to a “premium assistance program”
– provide a tax credit for donations to hospitals and clinics
– allow for health insurance pooling by small businesses
– provide doctors a tax incentive to treat indigent patients
– phase out the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
There is no CBO score for this bill either.
The American Health Care Reform Act was introduced on Sept. 18 by Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tenn., and would also fully repeal Obamacare. The law would then:
– increase access to portable, affordable health insurance
– expand federal support for state high-risk pools and cap premiums of those pools
– allow people with pre-existing conditions to move between markets so long as they maintain continuous coverage
– introduce tort reform
– prohibits federal funds for abortion except in extreme cases.
This bill does not have a CBO score either.
Again, these are just four alternatives to Obamacare that Republicans have introduced. Whether or not the bills would be any better than Obamacare is unknown, and whether Democrats would admit they were better than Obamacare is unlikely, but the fact remains that Republican alternatives are out there.
Oh, and by the way — Coburn, Price, Broun and Roe are all medical doctors.

Obamacare puts the health care system on the wrong track and will expand the role of the federal government in every component of Americans’ health care. To get the health care system on the

right track that empowers patients, reduces cost, and ensures access, Obamacare must be defunded and repealed. ~~

In 2013 Ben Carson, who is probably best known for his work as a neurosurgeon, but in recent months he has become a conservative firebrand and today he offered some controversial red meat to the audience at the Values Voter Summit in Washington.

Carson, who is a contributor to Fox News, assailed president Obama's health care law, saying it is akin to slavery.

"I have to tell you, you know Obamacare is really, I think, the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery," Carson said. "And it is slavery in a way because it is making all of us subservient to the government."

Carson, who is African American, went on to say that the administration's push toward Obamacare is reminiscent to a push toward socialism.

"It was never about health care, it was about control," Carson said. "That's why when this administration took office it didn't matter that the country was going off the cliff economically. All forces were directed toward getting this legislation passed.

"Vladimir Lenin, one of the fathers of Socialism and Communism,

said that socialized medicine is the keystone to the establishment of the socialist state!"  ~~

Obamacare was never intended to help Americans, but to control them……..

Saul Alinsky's Doctrine: 8 steps to topple a nation and create a socialist state!

Obama was influenced by the writings and philosophies of Saul Alinsky, author of the book, "Rules for Radicals," and later by Frank Marshall Davis, with similar philosophies.

Barak Obama followed the philosophies of these 'role models' throughout his days as a Community Organizer for ACORN, using tactics that appeared to some as 'shaking down' businesses in exchange for not branding them 'hate groups.'

And apparently, Obama is still following those radical rules up until his last day in office!
Recall that Hillary Clinton did her college thesis on his writings and Barack Hussein Obama writes about him in his books.

How to create a social state by Saul Alinsky:

There are 8 levels of control that must be obtained before you can create a social state.

The first is the most important.

1) Healthcare — Control healthcare and you control the people

2) Poverty — Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.

3) Debt — Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you can increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.

4) Gun Control — Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you can create a police state.

5) Welfare — Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).

6) Education — Take control of what people read and listen to — take control of what children learn in school.

7) Religion — Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.

8) Class Warfare — Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.

Now, think ...

Does any of this sound like what was happening to the United States before Trump! ~~

Recently, the go-to argument from the anti-Obamacare forces has been about deductibles. Sure, 20 million people have insurance. Sure, most of them can afford the premiums. But what's the point if all it buys you is crappy insurance with a $6,000 deductible? As Nathan Nascimento put in National Review a few months ago, "what good is health-insurance coverage for middle- and low-income families if they can’t afford to use it?"

It should be a stunning fact that every proposition on which President Obama promoted the sale

of Obamacare was a complete and utter lie. I tried to document the foundational lies and their close relations in the endless Power Line series “Lies of Obamacare,” featuring the thumbnail image of the man having Obamacare shoved down his throat.

If politicians were subject to truth in advertising laws, Obama would be behind bars. Obama is incorrigible. When it comes to lying to advance the cause, he and his Democratic allies simply lack a conscience.

Indeed, they are still lying about it. David Catron updates the story for the American Spectator: “Obamacare at six: A legacy of deception.” Catron shows that Obama is still at it:

Obamacare just turned six and the president is still attempting to convince a skeptical public that his “reform” law is working. On the anniversary of its passage, the White House issued a statement from Obama containing all manner of hilarious claims including the following howler: “Thanks in part to this law, health care prices have risen at the lowest rate in 50 years … premiums for a family with job-based coverage are almost $2,600 lower than if trends from the decade before the law had continued.” As Emily Zanotti pointed out in this space, not even Chelsea Clinton buys that whopper.

The president’s claim that job-based family coverage costs less than it would had he refrained from meddling with health care flunks the laugh test. Employer-based health insurance premiums have continued to rise unabated. And, as the Kaiser Family Foundation reports, “Since 2010, both the share of workers with deductibles and the size of those deductibles have increased sharply. These two trends together result in a 67 percent increase in deductibles since 2010.” In his statement, however, Obama makes a specious claim about premiums while studiously ignoring skyrocketing out-of-pocket costs.

The claims the president makes about Obamacare are rife with such omissions. His claim that it has contributed to a slowdown in health care inflation, for example, is an Orwellian fantasy. According to a report produced by his own health care bureaucrats, the slowdown to which he refers began before the “reform” law was passed. In reality, Obamacare actually reversed the

trend: “In 2014, U.S. health care spending increased 5.3 percent following growth of 2.9 percent in 2013 … The faster growth experienced in 2014 was primarily due to the major coverage expansions under the Affordable Care Act.”

The president’s sixth anniversary statement also claims that Obamacare has made dramatic cuts in the uninsured rate, but that too conflicts with the facts….

Catron’s column isn’t a complete reckoning and it doesn’t exactly look back in anger, but it’s a good start and anger is an appropriate response. ~~by Scott Johnson, a Friend of America!

10 Reasons Obamacare is (and will continue to be) a Failure

1.  Strong Public Opposition

One thing is abundantly clear about Obamacare: it has never been well-received by the public. Polls have been especially brutal, with over 95% of polls taken since passage of the bill showing strong opposition, usually by double-digit margins. Proponents of the bill knew it was unpopular at the time it passed and believed it would "grow" on people over time. That hasn't happened, and it is very difficult to push an agenda that has little public support.

2.  Insurance Costs Continue Meteoric Rise

One of the central claims made by the "central planners" was that insurance premiums would go down for buyers.  Instead, the law actually forces plans to cover more and more ("children" must be covered to age 27, smorgasbord of newly "free" "women's health" services) that everyone was forced to pay into. Add in the abundance of taxes and fees that are simply passed on to c

onsumers and the initial claim that Obamacare would reduce premiums is laughable. It doesn't take a trained economist to know that raising minimum requirements of coverage, forcing more coverage be provided, raising taxes, forcing high-risk patients into pooled plans, and reducing options would raise costs.

3.  Too Many Loopholes to be Effective 

One of the problems with a bill written by lobbyists and bureaucrats, passed by people who never read it, and numbers in the 1,000s of pages is that there will probably be a loophole or two in there.  States and businesses found those loopholes and have taken advantage of them to avoid being (more) negatively impacted by the law. Employers have cut back hours or reduced staff to avoid hitting certain requirements. States have opted out of the state-exchanges and opted for the federal government to run their own exchanges. Perhaps the only good thing about Obamacare is that it was so poorly put together that many businesses and individuals have found a way to escape much of it. At the same time, those loopholes have completely halted many of the core goals of the bill, adding to the general failure of Obamacare.

4.  Leaves 31 Million Uninsured by 2023

Originally, the bill was touted as a means to both cover the uninsured (either through subsidies or "forcing" people who could afford insurance to buy it) and help reduce costs for everyone. Now, the administration downplays the impact the bill has on people, instead regularly inferring that 90% of people are not impacted by the bill outside of all the great "free" stuff they are forced buy coverage for now. But the reality is that the goal of insuring all the uninsured isn't going to be met. The Congressional Budget Office projected that by 2023 - more than a decade after implementation - that 31 million people will still be uninsured. This is the case even with subsidies being provided to help the poor, and the wonderful IRS enforcing forced-purchase laws.

5.  Program Costs Continue to Blow Past Initial Estimates

One of the great charades of the Obama administration was framing the Obamacare bill as a program with a price-tag below the magic $1 trillion mark. The CBO initially scored the bill as costing $900B over the first decade. Of course, the CBO could only make these estimates based on what the bill said would happen, not what most of us knew actually would happen. In order to get the bill under $1 trillion, taxes that would never be implemented and cuts that would never be made were added. Some "savings" were double-counted. Other reductions in the cost of the bill

were made on rosy expectations of reducing costs and cutting waste. And anyone familiar with the 2013 sequester or just government in general knows is that the government never willingly cuts or reduces anything. But most importantly, the bill was framed as only costing that $900 billion over a decade, which included four years before most of the provisions were implemented. In 2014, CBO figures showed that the true cost of the first decade of Obamacare will be closer to $1.8 trillion. Any chance that estimate would have passed at the time?

6.  The Program is Run by the Government

Pointing out the Obamacare is run by the government as a reason it is failing is almost an "enough said" scenario. But let's be honest. When has the government ever run anything cost-efficiently or effectively? Everything the government touches turns to rot. Very, very, very expensive rot. Of course, this is why conservatives prefer market-based solutions to healthcare. Real people making real decisions is always better than government bureaucrats working with their crony allies to make those decisions.

7.  States Reject the Bill 

One of the "loopholes" that will prove most damaging to the implementation of Obamacare is the ability of states to refuse to set up a state health insurance exchange and instead leave it up to the federal government to run them. Over half of states have chosen not to run a state exchange, and even with three years to set up the exchanges, the federal government has failed to establish the exchanges. Instead, they continue to push back deadlines for the exchanges. While the federal government attempted to persuade states to create them with the promise of huge financial support, the mostly conservative states realized that the long-term costs would be unsustainable and the federal government would still be dictating everything anyway.

8.  Inability to Alter Bill

When Obamacare was initially passed, Democrats had full control of both chambers of congress. With 60 votes in the US Senate and a healthy lead in the US House of Representatives, the Republicans couldn't stop anything. As unpopular elements of the bill have popped up, though, it

is virtually impossible to make fixes to the bill without Republican approval. Many conservatives have argued - and I am one of them - that the GOP should not help remove unpopular elements of Obamacare. They passed it. They can deal with it. Some elements the Democrats have sought to change include the medical device tax, which is one of the funding mechanisms of Obamacare. Also, errors in the state exchange planning portion of the bill could provide significant speed bumps down the road.

9.  True "Benefits" Remain Unclear 

If you haven't seen all the benefits promised since the passage of Obamacare, you are not alone. While Obama praised the "access" to contraception (read: free) during the 2012 campaign, most people only noticed the rising premiums. Americans feel like they are paying more and more and getting less for it. Starting in 2014, Americans will also have to start reporting their health coverage to the IRS.

10.  Negative Employee Repercussions 

In order to escape the heavy hand of government, businesses have been forced to follow the law as passed and find ways to avoid being negatively impacted. As a result of the law, businesses

have been forced to drop full-time employees to part-time status, stop hiring altogether, and scrap plans for expansion. Not only does this hurt the overall employment market, but employees are being impacted with less hours. Those employees are not only still not getting employee-provided insurance, but they are now making less money overall, making it more difficult to purchase government-mandated insurance through exchanges that are not even set up yet.
