Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Tired of all this Winning yet? Part I – The stock market bounced back on Tuesday after a week of big losses, with the Dow gaining 567 points on the day. So, after spending a week breathlessly blaming President Donald Trump for the market’s losses, the fake hosts at CNN and MSNBC can now go back to giving credit for the market’s gains to Barack Hussein Obama. ‘Cuz that’s what the fake news media does.
Tired of all this Winning yet? Part II – New texts released Wednesday morning between disgraced FBI Agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page are incredibly revealing, including one in September 2016 from Page to Strzok that simply reads “POTUS [Barack Obama] wants to know everything we’re doing.” Well, of course he did. Anyone who has been clinging to the thought that all of this illegal activity at FBI, DOJ, the State Department and the National Security Council was taking place while President Obama sat by in blissful ignorance also believes in unicorns, the tooth fairy and global warming.
Again, as I’ve pointed out repeatedly over the last couple of months, this is all just getting started here. The proverbial poop hasn’t really even approached that whirring fan yet. But, as we like to say out here in Texas flyover country, it’s fixin’ to.
If you thought the pranking of bug-eyed California Rep. Adam Schiff by that Russian comedy team that I detailed in yesterday’s Evening Update was hilarious, wait ’til you get a load of the prank call they placed last year to…wait for it…MAXINE WATERS! If you thought Ms. Waters was a bit of a lunatic already, well, you’ve only seen the tip of the lunatic iceberg with her. Give it a listen when you have 11 free minutes. You’ll be glad you did, trust me.
Maybe he just wants to remind the Deep State who it is that commands the military. – The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that President Trump has ordered the Pentagon brass to plan a “grand parade” that would celebrate U.S. military strength. While everyone in the fake news media very predictably melted down, immediately drawing comparisons to similar parades staged by Hitler, Stalin and the Crazy Little Fat Guy in North Korea, I suspect the President’s intent in staging such and event is a little more subtle than that. I imagine he’d probably invite Robert Mueller, Rod Rosenstein and other deep state plotters to join him in the viewing stand. Just a guess.
Speaking of President Trump, he told assembled fake reporters at the White House on Tuesday that he’d be all in favor of letting the Democrats shut down 14% of the federal government if a budget bill does not include acceptable reforms of our country’s broken immigration system. Having just talked about the need to tighted up border security in the ongoing fight against the MS13 gang, the President said “Frankly, I’ll go a step further, if we don’t change the legislation, if we don’t get rid of these loopholes where killers are allowed to come into our country … if we don’t change it let’s have a shutdown, we’ll do a shutdown,” Trump said. “It’s worth it for our country. I’d love to see a shutdown if we don’t get this stuff taken care of.”
Naturally, conservative talking heads on cable TV who have been wrong about literally everything since mid-2015 immediately judged the President’s comments to be a tactical error. Mind you, these are the very same conservative talking heads who spent a full year guaranteeing us that Trump could never win the GOP presidential nomination, much less become president, and who still don’t appear to understand a damn thing about how he operates.
It seems like you wouldn’t have to say yet again after all this time, but here we go: Donald Trump views everything as a negotiation. A deal. He wants to make a deal this week that a) extends the budget through the end of the fiscal year, b) gets him funding for a wall and other enhanced border security measures, c) ends chain migration beyond nuclear family members, d) ends the insane visa lottery system, and e) provides some form of legal status for the DACA “kids” (average age: 26), including a long and difficult path to citizenship.
In every negotiation he has ever engaged in, Donald Trump always begins by laying down the gauntlet with an absolute declaration of terms and a clear reminder that he’d be happy to walk away if he doesn’t get a deal he likes. That’s what happened yesterday. That’s it. If Democrats don’t think he’d be just fine if the government shut down for a week or so so people can once again see that it makes pretty much no difference at all to most of their daily lives, then they are making the mistake of believing their own BS.
Everyone also needs to remember that President Trump is very focused on keeping his campaign promises. While he promised to fix the immigration system, he also promised to do it in a humane manner, and he views getting a fix for the DACA “kids” as a part of that. So, he’ll be willing to negotiate here to some extent, but he’s not going to accept some idiotic surrender deal like the one John McCain is offering. That kind of thing is DOA.
Anyway, the gauntlet has been thrown, and now the negotiation can begin. But the President won’t be moving much off the deal parameters outlined above. Expect 14% of the government to shut down on Friday, and expect it to stay there until the Democrats cry “uncle” again.
Just another day in Trump’s making a deal America.
That is all.

Today’s news moves at a faster pace than ever. Whatfinger.com is my go-to source for keeping up with all the latest events in real time.
My only surprise is that she said POTUS instead of ValJar. Of course it’s more of an ego boost to say POTUS wants to know about your every move.
About these two having an affair, none of the texts I’ve seen show any evidence. No I’ll see you later or about last night, etc. Was “the affair “ concocted to try try to mislead from two hardcore leftists conspiring and acting as laison between the two agencies?
...just a question ? ..are both strzok and page married to others?
Yes.
Might have been. Pretty sure they’re both still married to their spouses.
Thanks...
When will the democrat fools understand that they are being consumed by within? They are expending every borrowed dollar fighting to keep the past administration's top dogs out of jail, instead of preparing for mid-term elections? They are expending all their strategic efforts on defending people 24/7 who are not even running for office anymore?
These are really stupid people. They should just take the high road, throw the Clintons under the bus, she'll turn on Obama, and they will all linger between Federal Courthouses until they wither away.
Meanwhile the DNC could go about rebuilding some integrity.

Has Obama fled the country yet?
Look for the gals all over the media circuit. Ellen, the view, MSNBC, CNN, late night talk shows, magazine covers, etc....
I heard he lawyered up, but that might be to force Chicago to put in his library where he wants it.
The champion of deceit and damaging our country was the Wrongdoer in Chief: Obama!!
@realDonaldTrump
The top Leadership and Investigators of the FBI and the Justice Department have politicized the sacred investigative process in favor of Democrats and against Republicans - something which would have been unthinkable just a short time ago. Rank & File are great people! 3:33 AM · Feb 2, 2018, Donald J. Trump
All of this sedition, surveillance and coup plotting came down from Obama's smug thugs in the DOJ/FBI!

Good point. These second tier players would never be doing these actions,if not without the go head of their superiors.
I really enjoy reading your take on the events of the day, brother! Keep up the good work!
God Bless Texas!
God Bless America!
Thanks! Please tell all your friends, family and worst liberal enemies! :)
God Bless Texas, indeed.
Obama doesn’t need to flee the country. He has his Race Card at the ready.
Ultimately I expect that the Clinton’s will be thrown under the bus. But it’s still early. Former-president Obama? As a - let’s face it - historic figure there will be a lot of push-back from their side and a lot of reluctance among the usual suspects on our side.
You don't take that kind of cash from those kind of people and not have to perform as a condition.
She is doomed. It's a matter of time. All her nonsense in the media from day to day is just to keep her sleeping in a different town every night. She's become Yassar Arafat.
