A story about the times we live in, and assumptions we can make in our current political climate. The news tip a few days ago said: “Hi. Suddenly there is a Confederate flag flying in front of a house in my Greenwood neighborhood. It is at the north-east corner of 92nd and Palatine, just a block west of 92nd and Greenwood Ave N. I would love to know what this ‘means’ … but of course don’t want to knock on their door. Maybe others in the area are flying the flag? Maybe it’s a story? Thank you.” It was from...

Dossier Was A 100% Hillary Operation – Lunch Alert! It was a Hillary operation. Fusion GPS and Steele were front men.

Dick Morris does a good job (believe it or not) of going piece by piece on the Dossier. He begins with the Clinton Campaign and bit by bit brings it all together. Well worth the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=177&v=2IpNBs5xbcE

Don’t fall for former FBI Director James Comey’s latest tweet claiming that “the FBI is and always will be independent.” In fact, recent reports suggest the FBI now serves as the command center of the Deep State, aptly housed in the J. Edgar Hoover Building. Working hand in hand with the special counsel’s office, the FBI/Deep State is in high gear. Through constant leaks of confidential or embarrassing materials, unmasking classified information about Trump associates, stonewalling Congressional requests for testimony and information about FBI conduct, selective prosecutions, and the coordination and hiring of high-level and deeply-biased partisans, the Deep State...

Jack Morris and Alan Trammell were both elected to the Baseball Hall Of Fame today, as announced on the MLB Network. The two longtime Tigers greats were voted in via the HOF’s Modern Baseball Era Committee, who weighed the cases of Morris, Trammell and eight others who weren’t originally selected in the traditional writers’ vote. (MLB.com’s Barry M. Bloom has the details on the Modern Era Committee’s composition and process.) Both Morris and Trammell went the full 15 years on the Baseball Writers’ Association Of America ballot without getting the necessary 75% of the vote necessary for election. Still, both...

The "Uraniumgate" scandal is opening links to 3 other scandals. 1. When Bill Clinton went to Russia in 2010 to give a speech to a Russian bank about nuclear energy he requested, from the State Dept., permission to meet with 15 Russian leaders, one of whom was Arkady Davorkovich, who was on board of the Russian Atomic Energy Agency. Clinton did not, ultimately, meet with Davorkovich but he did meet with Putin. This request came at the same time he got half-a-million dollars for the speech AND while his wife was sitting on the board that approved the sale of...

Synopsis of video: Trump is demolishing Obamacare, piece by piece. brick by brick. 1. He is reducing enrollment in Obamacare by slashing outreach funds and cutting back on hiring people whose job is to sign up new enrollees. 2. More importantly, Trump is creating viable alternatives to Obamacare: a. Obamacare has a provision for "short term programs" which don't have to cover everything. Those in these short term programs are expected to sign up with Obamcare after a few weeks. Trump has changed the definition of "short term" and made it up to 1 year and beyond. b. Trump is...

By now, it evidently has occurred to President Donald Trump that if he lets Congress do what it wants, it will do nothing. Any legislation he proposes will end up DOA, a casualty of gridlock. Hence the brilliance of his DACA decision. If the Democrats don’t work constructively with the GOP to produce a real piece of legislation, the deadline of an expiring DACA program will force them into line. Facing the possible deportation of 800,000 of their constituents because of Democratic intransigence, the party — from Schumer on down — will have to pull in its horns so as...

The Senate rejection of repeal of ObamaCare, coupled with its obvious failure, leaves Americans in a hell of a mess. Because of the inherent problems in the ObamaCare law, premiums will continue to skyrocket and outpace subsidies. More insurance firms will refuse to participate and people will be stuck. In addition, President Trump is likely to take two actions that are good policies but will worsen the situation: 1. He will probably direct his agencies, including the IRS, to stop enforcing the requirement that everybody buy insurance. Last year, six million people ran afoul of the requirement and had to...

Synopsis of video: Trump must fire Sessions and replace him with Giuliani Here's why: 1. Sessions emasculated himself by stating, during his confirmation hearing, that he was recusing himself from the Russian investigation, and from investigating Clinton because he was "too partisan" in that matter. 2. Because of this, Sessions has no power. He can't protect Trump and perform the duties of his office. 3. Rudy will fight for Trump...he has creditbility and is popular. As a former prosecutor, Rudy can fight Mueller on even terms. 4. Trump needs to understand this is a political fight, not a judicial one....

Synopsis of video: The Russian "scandal" has had no effect on President Trump's approval ratings. The Rasmussen poll, the most accurate since it only interviews likely voters, has Trump at 45% approval, unchanged over the last three months. The last poll was taken July 11th. Other polls are also, essentially, unchanged. The Dems' obsession with Russia will likely backfire on them. They are making the same mistake Hillary made during her campaign. They have no message!! It's "Russia Russia Russia" 24/7. The scandal is big, inside the Beltway (Dems, the media) but the rest of the country is tired of...

One of the most common items of “disinformation” in the media these days is the assertion that Donald Trump’s presidency is drawing negative reviews from the American voter. The Guardian, for example, reports that Trump’s approval ratings “fall off a cliff” and goes on to wonder why he “sees no reason to course-correct.” But, the fact is that Trump’s poll numbers are steady, fluctuating in a narrow range, and are higher than Obama’s were during most of his tenure. Rasmussen, the only pollster who surveys “likely voters” shows the marks of a successful presidency:Rasmussen: Trump’s Job Approval JULY 2 =...

Muller hiring Clinton and Obama lackeys in an attempt to take down a duly elected president (my opinion).

Here’s how it will go down, scripted in the Obama/Alinsky playbook. The Goal: remove Trump from office. 1. Wiretap the Russian ambassador (or Flynn?) to get a record of contacts 2. Raise the issue in public in the hopes that Flynn errs and denies the conversations took place 3. Force Flynn’s resignation for lying in his denials 4. Use wiretaps and surveillance of the Russians (and perhaps of Sessions?) to get evidence of his contacts with them 5. At the confirmation hearing, set up Sessions with a question so he can be accused of “lying” 6. Demand that he recuse...

You would think that after absorbing a bone-rattling defeat like Hillary’s that the Democratic Party would recover its senses and move back to the center in the hopes of winning elections again. But, defying common sense, the party appears hell bent on moving further to the left. Its leaders are opining that it was Hillary’s failure to rally the base and her centrism that led to defeat. So the future candidates of this unchastened Democratic Party are likely to fit the contours of a Bernie Sanders or an Elizabeth Warren. While their course would seem to be suicidal, history teaches...

Synopsis: There is a massive surge for Trump from HS Graduates. Analysis of Fox News polling shows a massive surge for Trump with both men and women who have HS education. Last week, Trump was 18 pts ahead with HS educated men. Now he is 30 points ahead. Last week, Trump was ahead with HS educated women by 27 pts. He is now 34 pts ahead with this group. Neither group can stand Hillary. This is highly significant because while the College educated voting group has "maxed out" in terms of what percentage of them have previously voted and who...

Synopsis: VA Gov. Terry McAuliffe, close Clinton confidant, gave $465K to a PAC for Jill Mcabe who was running for a state senate seat in VA. (Think this money came from the Clinton foundation? That's my guess). Two months prior to this "donation", McCabe's husband Andrew was promoted to a position within the FBI where he became in charge of the Clinton email investigation! Blatant and overwhelming confilict of interest. Combine this with Bill Clinton meeting with the US Atty General Lynch on the tarmac at the airport in AZ and you have "something that really stinks".

Summary of this video: During the debate, Hillary threatened Putin with retaliation for hacking into US computers. Reason: Hillary is extremely worried that just before the election, Putin will release all of Hillary's deleted emails which will show that she totally compromised national security and all of the classified information on those emails and that she has lied about this from day one, which will cost her the election.

Donald Trump is right: It was the Hillary Clinton campaign that spread the rumor in 2008 that Obama was not born in America and, therefore, might not be eligible to serve as President. Hillary sent out her Chief Goon to take care of this high-priority matter. It was Sidney Blumenthal who spread the rumor. Remember him? The one who sent hundreds of wacky long-winded memos about Benghazi and the Middle East to the Secretary of State, including several that contained classified material. Well, before Sid was a fake spy and clandestine adviser to Hillary, he was her chief enforcer. Blumenthal...
