WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE ONLY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN STOP THE INSANITY AND 'MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.'

WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE ONLY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN STOP THE INSANITY AND 'MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.'

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the ‘man’ that told the truth about loyal Obamaite, ex-FBI Director James Comey, has apparently backed up his words and recommendations by appointing an apolitical new set of eyes to review the real facts of the ‘Fake’ Media’s ‘Never Trump’ agenda.

Now we have a total of 4 investigations going on into the 'possible' collusion between the Russians and the Trump campaign during the 2016 election that gave Donald Trump the American people’s mandated job of making America great again, but now after the ‘left’s’ crying and demanding the appointment of an outside apolitical investigator, and getting it, are bitching again. Nancy Pelosi just came out and said that’s not good enough and thinks an independent council is what’s required. The irrelevant left’s Adam Schiff is also bitching because his party’s ruse and hypocritical plot has had its legs pulled out from under their Socialist narrative, and will expose what the left’s part is in the leaking, the false narratives, their connection to the Russians, the murder of Wikileaks true agent Seth Rich, and the left-over moles that Obama planted in the 17 intel agencies in his last days in office!

I get tired of the continued calling out of President Trump’s supposed lying when he says anything related to the Truth, and then mad when the agenda journalists turn his words around to make his statements appear to be lies! The Clintons, Eric Holder, and Loretta Lynch have used intent and interpretation to nullify the constitution and the rule of law, and as a result has become the status quo and accepted practice by the progressive justices that Obama appointed to the lower  courts by way of the 'nuclear option.  When Bill Clinton was impeached he used the ‘what is, is, and have mastered the art of how to use grammatically altered knit picking, and by doing so, undermining the fact that all of these committees investigating the Collusion between the Russians and the Trump campaign, based on this art, hasn't come up with  1 piece of evidence proving that their allegations about the supposed collusion are true!

The left is playing that old game of ‘bait and switch,’ and because they don’t have a positive message has decided to keep Trump's huge successes and fulfilling his promises off the front page, and substitute them with ‘Fake’ news using innuendos, half-truths, fake intent, fake sources, and outright lying to try and delegitimize Trump's Presidency because the feckless leadership of the left can’t take responsibilities for the failure of their message, or the lying, traitorous, anti-American. but pro pant-suit, Hillary ‘the anti-deplorable’ Clinton!

What America needs is that positive ‘outsider-nonpolitician’ energy that President Trump brought to the campaign when a candidate, but stifled and short circuited by the ‘No message’ Socialist left, and the ‘Paid to Report’ Media ever since he got to office. We need to drain the ‘swamp’ and cut through the ‘Red’ tape that prevents President Trump’s cabinet appointments to be confirmed. We also need to do away with most of the outdated political traditions and protocols that cause the wheels of the political processes to slow, and in some cases grind to a halt.

We need these individual states, and the individual party’s constituency, to self-mandate and implement term limits on their own elected officials, and I think we all know why, and that’s because the Congressional ‘Swamp’ in Washington will never self impose term limits on themselves, and that my friends, you can take to the bank! 

What we Americans also need to know is that in some cases ‘good news’ can change the landscape and attitude of the ‘State of the Union,’ and when you follow the Trump mandate of making American great again, anything can happen to bring back what 'good news' and President Trump’s platform, which was approved by the people of America when Trump won the 2016 election by one of the largest electoral college landslides in modern times, of making America 'happy' again! Unbeknownst to the public President Trump has been knocking it out of the park when it comes to his promises he made to the American people, and getting the job done. The problem with this though is that President Trump’s successes have been hidden behind the veil of ‘fake News,’ and the attempt by the Socialist left to undermine Trumps rhetoric about making America great again. On the other hand, the left only has the Socialist message of dependency, surrendering, and allowing government to run your life, and painting what's going on under President Trump a dark reality!

What America needs to happen now is Ryan and McConnell have to take the bull by the horns and ‘not’ slam shut the ‘Nuclear Option’ door that Harry Reid opened back when jamming Obamacare down the throats of all Americans, and then again stacking the courts with progressive under court justices that choose to override anything Trump, and bypass the rule of law and Constitution!

Hillary always said that ‘words matter,’ and her words and lies is what sunk her ship and her Socialist agenda. Words have also sabotaged Trump’s short political career, and still does today because of his somewhat disturbing decision to use ‘Twitter’ to get his daily message out. What Mitch McConnell has to understand is that without the ‘Nuclear Option’ the Trump platform will be doomed, and that’s because there won’t be a chance in Hell that anybody on the progressive left will ever vote for anything that will bring America back to its exceptional constitutional, and rule of law self, or the status it has earned on the world stage from the many countries that have envied and respected America and its Constitutional Republic way of life for generations.

I feel Ryan has turned the corner and now on board with the Trump agenda after a rough start, but I have my doubts about Mitch McConnell and his ability to see clear that the only way to keep President Trump and the Republican party promises is to wheel that ‘Nuclear Option’ Sword, and if McConnell can’t accept the ‘Will’ of the American people, and do whatever it takes to maintain our constitutional republic, and defend the rule of law, he needs to think about retiring. If McConnell can't do away with a lot of these time cherished useless protocols and procedures, and not understand that the 'left' would take advantage of using the 'nuclear option' to eliminate the competition in a heartbeat. Ryan looks he's willing to step up to the plate, and if McConnell can't do the same he needs to step down and give that responsibility to a strong individual who can see the light at the end of the tunnel for the future of America, and do whatever it takes to get the job done! 

America dodged a huge crippling  ideological bullet when Hillary lost, and by doing so, avoided a nightmarish Socialist future for America, and if Mitch McConnell doesn’t use the ‘Nuclear Option’ to drive Socialism into extinction, then everything that awake informed Americans and the Silent majority voted for backing Trump’s ‘make America Great again platform, will all be lost! ……. food for thought if nothing else!~~

MITCH MCCONNELL VOWS 'NOT' TO USE ‘NUCLEAR OPTION’ TO PASS BILLS IN SENATE!

A day after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell invoked the "nuclear option" to end a Democratic filibuster and confirm Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, he sought Friday to reassure both Democrats and Republicans that he opposes any effort to strip the minority party of its power to block legislation from being approved.

"There is a big difference between eliminating the filibuster for judicial nominations and doing away with it for legislation," the Kentucky Republican said.

"The core of the Senate is the legislative filibuster," McConnell said. "This notion that this (changing the filibuster rule to confirm Gorsuch) somehow bleeds over into the legislative filibuster is untrue. I'm opposed to it ... I think that's what fundamentally changes the Senate."

Political scientists and some senators have expressed fear that McConnell’s decision to "go nuclear" on the Gorsuch confirmation could lead to efforts to do away with the legislative filibuster as well. Republican senators voted Thursday to change Senate rules so that only a simple majority of 51 senators — rather than 60 — was required to advance the judge's nomination to the Senate floor for an up-or-down vote on Friday. Gorsuch was confirmed by a vote of 54-45.

**This is my point, and does anyone think that in today's political environment that the 'left' will work on 'making America great again, especially when they gave their constituency the option of picking one of the two Socialist options to vote for?**

The legislative filibuster gives the minority party a great deal of power by requiring 60 votes to move most major bills forward. The current Republican majority in the Senate holds 52 seats while Democrats hold 48. That means both parties must work together to reach consensus before they can pass legislation on everything from how to spend taxpayer money to how to overhaul the nation's immigration system. ~~By Erin Kelly, a Friend of America!

With all this smoke and mirrors that have been created by the left to draw the attention away from what this outsider nonpolitician Billionaire has done for the American people, and what the ‘Paid to Report’ Media isn’t telling us. There was a time when you were able to trust the Media to be responsible for keeping the progress and advances front and center, and the negative ‘fake news’ on the back pages and under the fold.  President Trump promised and already delivered on a lot of his promises, and the following is just one of them, and within the time he was sworn in, until today.~~

TRUMP’S ICE AGENCY ARRESTED NEARLY 1,400 VIOLENT GANG MEMBERS IN NEW SWEEP!

On the campaign trail, then-candidate Donald Trump stirred up serious controversy when he said of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border, “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best.”

“They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us,” he continued.

Now as President, Trump and his agents at ICE are cracking down on the bad people and cleaning up the streets – big league!

Via the Daily Caller:

Immigration and Customs Enforcement-led operation led to the arrest of 1,378 gang members and associates, agency leaders announced Thursday.

The six-week operation was part of “Community Shield,” an anti-gang program launched in 2005, and was led by ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) unit in conjunction with state and local agencies.

In addition to the arrests, officials seized $491,763 in currency and 238 firearms.

Derek Benner, deputy associate director of ICE HSI, described it as the “largest gang surge to date.”

Some of the criminal activity involved drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, human smuggling, sex trafficking, murder, and racketeering.

Benner announced that 280 people – over 20% – were arrested on immigration violations and will face deportation proceedings, while at least three recipients of Barack Obama’s “DREAMers” were arrested in the gang sweep.

Eight of those apprehended were confirmed to belong to the MS-13 gang, an extremely violent group that has been a focus of the President’s in building the border wall.

MS-13 has been linked to nearly a dozen murders on Long Island, among other crime nationwide.

“Gangs threaten the safety of our communities, not just in major metropolitan areas but in our suburbs and rural areas, too,” announced Acting Director of ICE Thomas Homan.

“Gang-related violence and criminal activity present an ongoing challenge for law enforcement everywhere,” he added. “Our efforts to dismantle gangs are much more effective in areas where partnership with local law enforcement is strongest.”

Law enforcement can only be strongest with a strong, pro-law and order president backing them up. ~~ By Rusty, a Friend of America!

Common sense should tell you that a 70-year-old Billionaire doesn’t have lie, and because of this doesn’t have to be afraid of any of the timing of his actions, especially when any other action would be the actions of a guilty man trying to hide something, and not from one who hasn’t done anything wrong. President Trump is an outsider nonpolitician, according to the ‘Paid to Report’ Media, doesn’t know what he’s doing, can’t walk the walk, can’t talk the talk, and doesn’t belong in the bipartisan corrupt, with something to hide, ‘Garden Party’ swamp of elitists and snobs, who believe President Trump should be sent down on the farm with the rest of Hillary's 'basket of deplorables,' and spend the rest of their lives letting the government decide what's best for them, and the rest of America!

President Trump speaks the language of the common American, and with some of his cabinet appointments, have decided to use their retirement years to give back to the country that gave them the freedoms and liberties that allowed them to achieve their individual ‘American Dream.’ They divested their assets, gave control of their holdings away, and by doing so, more than likely lost money. I don’t know about the other retirees, but Trump gave up his salary, and now gives it up to a charity of other people’s choosing.~~

IF TRUMP OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE WITH COMEY, WASN’T OBAMA SIMILARLY GUILTY ON THE CLINTON PROBE?

Let's stipulate from the start that the New York Times story on President Trump's alleged interaction with then-FBI Director James Comey earlier this year raises serious concerns about undue political interference in a criminal investigation. As I wrote last night, Congress should demand to see the memo in question (Fox News confirmed its existence), and Comey must be called to testify about it under oath. Both outcomes have already been set in motion. And while they're at it, Congress should review any and all Comey memos describing his interactions with Trump. Questions: Did the former FBI chief keep similar records of his meetings with high-ranking members of the last administration? Might those be of interest, too?  Obvious initial questions for Comey would include authenticating the reported memo, asking how he perceived Trump's overtures on the Flynn probe at the time -- and, if he felt there was a genuine attempt to obstruct the Bureau's work, why didn't he blow the whistle immediately and resign? We don't have any of those answers yet, which is why impeachment talk is premature, to say the least.

 Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy, whose work and insights are often invaluable, takes inventory of the situation at hand and offers some worthwhile observations in a new column. Like me, he believes that "it is not frivolous to infer that Trump’s statement to Comey was a veiled order" (after all, Trump was an extremely powerful boss making his wishes quite clear to a subordinate), and that discussions about potential obstruction of justice are "legitimate:"

In light of what I’ve previously contended (viz., that obstruction of justice is a concept irrelevant to a counterintelligence investigation), I must note here that concerns about obstruction of justice in the context of the reported Trump-Comey conversation are legitimate. That is because the conversation does not directly relate to the so-called Russia investigation, which Comey has explained is a counterintelligence inquiry regarding Kremlin interference in the 2016 election. Rather, Trump and Comey were speaking about a criminal investigation of Flynn, ancillary to but separate from the Russia investigation. We are informed that a grand jury in Virginia is considering evidence of transactions involving Flynn, although it is not clear that this was the case on February 14, when Trump and Comey spoke.

I've seen a number of people suggesting the FBI had already "cleared" Flynn, so all of this is a moot issue. That's not quite right. Investigators did review his communications with Russian officials during the transition (lying about which eventually led to Flynn's resignation), but "found nothing illicit," according to the Washington Post. But as McCarthy notes, Flynn is also the subject of an active criminal investigation regarding possible financial ties to foreign governments and related disclosure issues. "Ancillary to, but separate," per McCarthy's apt description.  He goes on to make two major points.  First, the context of the alleged private conversation between Trump and Comey matters a lot, and the fact that Comey didn't immediately resign in protest may be an indication that Trump's cajoling, while highly suspect, didn't rise to the level of criminality:

There is good reason to believe veiled orders, while inappropriate, are not criminal — i.e., they do not rise to the level of prosecutable obstruction of justice. Obstruction can be a tough crime to prove. It is necessary to establish, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the suspect acted corruptly in impeding or influencing a criminal investigation. That means acting with knowledge that one’s conduct was unlawful, and with a specific intent to undermine the truth-seeking function. Context is critical, and we don’t have it. All we know is that Trump hoped the criminal investigation would be dropped — but again, did not order it to be dropped — and vouched for Flynn’s character. That may have been inappropriate under the circumstances, but it was not corrupt. Comey surely found it awkward, but he clearly did not perceive it as obstruction. The former director is a highly experienced and meritoriously decorated former prosecutor and investigator. He knows what obstruction of justice is. And the Jim Comey I’ve known for 30 years would not stand for political interference in law enforcement. If he had understood Trump’s remarks as a directive or, worse, a threat, he would have resigned. It is not enough to say that he did not resign. Unlike the investigation of Mrs. Clinton, the investigation of Flynn has continued. Plus, Comey does not appear to have indicated to his subordinates, to his Justice Department superiors, or to Congress that he felt threatened.

I'm not sure I'd agree that it's "clear" that Comey didn't perceive obstruction. As others have speculated, there's a distinct possibility that Comey was trying to assess Trump's intentions over time, possibly with an eye toward proving obstruction. Josh Barro surmises that the president's decision to fire Comey, potentially out of retaliation, might be the 'smoking gun' action that makes a criminal case easier to make. Regardless, it is safe to say that the private discussion was not unto itself sufficient proof of obstruction in Comey's mind.  Helpfully, we'll learn more about his thought process when he testifies. The second point is that if Trump's statements were tantamount to "veiled orders," did President Obama do something similar by telegraphing his 'analysis' (easily understood to be his preference) of the Clinton email matter while that probe was still ongoing? Let's recall together:

“I don’t think it posed a national security problem,” Mr. Obama said Sunday on CBS’s “60 Minutes.” He said it had been a mistake for Mrs. Clinton to use a private email account when she was secretary of state, but his conclusion was unmistakable: “This is not a situation in which America’s national security was endangered.” Those statements angered F.B.I. agents who have been working for months to determine whether Mrs. Clinton’s email setup did in fact put any of the nation’s secrets at risk, according to current and former law enforcement officials.

While agents were still reviewing evidence, Obama announced on national television that it was his conclusion that Clinton's conduct didn't endanger US national security (a very dubious verdict, in light of revelation after revelation after revelation after revelation). The big boss in convinced this is nothing --cough, cough -- he made clear. Adjust accordingly, he didn't explicitly add. The New York Times reported that Obama's comments upset some within the FBI, and many conservatives (including yours truly) were harshly critical of the president's apparent meddlesome pressure. We also expressed anger over reports that some DOJ officials were exerting pressure to "stand down" on Clinton-related proves, and that former Attorney General Loretta Lynch (who'd supposedly quasi-recused herself from the decision-making process on these matters) urged Comey not to disclose his re-opened investigation to Congress in October.  Obama and company wanted Hillary Clinton to be the next president.  The former president literally broadcast his assertion that her gross negligence wasn't that serious, and subordinates allegedly worked behind the scenes to limit the scope of the FBI investigation's political damage to Clinton.  Does that all add up to obstruction?  If not, why not?

I see two differences: (1) Obama was asked about Clinton's situation in a public setting and gave an answer.  Trump, by contrast, allegedly made a private, one-on-one appeal directly to the man in charge of the Flynn probe, after asking that the room be cleared. (2) Trump didn't get his way, and fired Comey.  We don't know if those two facts were related, but they both exist.  Obama did get his way, so there's no way of knowing how he'd have reacted if Comey had followed the statute and evidence by recommending criminal charges against Mrs. Clinton. 

I'm not sure whether these distinctions matter in a legal sense, but they're worth mentioning either way.  McCarthy's point on Obama's conduct vs. Trump's alleged conduct isn't an 'apples-to-apples' comparison; but it may not be so different as to be 'apples-to-oranges' either.  The purpose of highlighting this contrast is not mindless 'whataboutism,' which I cautioned against just yesterday.  It's to highlight the tricky standards when it comes to actionable proof of obstruction of justice based on controversial or questionable presidential conduct. ~~By Guy Benson, a friend of America!
