Trump Files Early With FEC For 2020 Candidacy, Outmaneuvers Nonprofits

. . . "This will likely create chaos for political opponents of Trump such as George Soros, who has sunk significant amounts of money into various nonprofit groups with the intent of opposing Trump’s government." . . .

Overpasses For America

"A document from the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) indicates that Donald Trump took steps last week to outmaneuver nonprofit organizations, leaving them unable to officially campaign against him over the next few years of his Presidency.

"Filed on January 20th, 2017, the letter states that, while not an official announcement for reelection, Donald Trump has filed an FEC Form 2 in order to “ensure compliance with the Federal Election Campaign Act.” This is an unprecedented, although legal, move for the President to make. Barack Obama did not file for his 2012 re-election bid until April 2011. Having filed (even if not formally announcing a bid) as a candidate, Trump would be able to coordinate with PACs and other similar organizations." . . .

Milo Yiannopoulos will return to Berkeley to give his speech "Janet Napolitano, president of the University of California system, has got a new nightmare on her hands.  Having already failed to protect the right of Milo Yiannopoulos to speak at the University of California, Berkeley, she is now on notice that she has a second chance to meet those who openly proclaim their disruptive intent with sufficient force to uphold the civil rights of Milo and those who want to hear him." . . . 

A UC Berkeley rioter and thug who bragged online about beating conservatives outside the Milo Yiannopoulos speech on Wednesday night — works at the university.

Dabney Miller, a staff member at the UC Berkeley, bragged about how he beat conservatives. He posted images of one man he knocked to the ground and pummeled with his fists before someone pulled him away.

Dabney Miller draws a paycheck from the UC Berkeley administration.

"Tattoos: check; Earrings: check; Wifebeater shirt: check. And best of all, he's Caucasian, so nobody can call his critics racists."

Daily Caller  "Journalists can’t seem to get their stories straight in the opening weeks of the Trump administration, whether in tweets or in articles where falsehoods have been spread almost daily.

"The mistakes have not just been from newer liberal news outlets such The Huffington Post or BuzzFeed, but from legacy media like Reuters, The Washington Post, and The New York Times.

"What follows are several botched stories or conflicting reports since President Trump took office."  Excerpts below:

• "The Trump administration eases sanctions on a Russian intelligence agency.
• "The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice were blindsided by Trump’s executive order on immigration and refugees.
• "Steve Bannon went to visit Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly to convince him to temporarily ban certain green card holders.
• "The Trump administration forces the resignations of several senior Secret Service officials.  "Secret Service spokeswoman told The Daily Caller that Clemons’ reporting is “completely false.' ” 
• The Associated Press and CNN can’t agree whether Trump threatened to send troops into Mexico. 
• Reuters screws up the timing of Trump’s executive order.

NYT/CNBC’s John Harwood Advises Clinton Campaign, Gloats About Provoking Trump At Debate

. . . "In a December 2015 email to Podesta, Harwood bragged about his much-criticized debate performance in which he asked Trump “Let’s be honest, is this a comic book version of a presidential campaign?" . . .

Chelsea Clinton Is the Last Thing the Democratic Party Needs

Observer

"The only good would be for Chelsea to lose a congressional race, teaching Democrats a lesson they've continuously failed to learn."

 

"Since Hillary Clinton’s presidential election loss, rumors have circulated that speculate about what she will do next. In trying to predict Clinton’s future—from running for mayor of New York City to hosting her own TV show—the idea has also been advanced that her daughter, Chelsea Clinton, may enter politics herself. Though being the progeny of the widely-disliked Bill and Hillary should disqualify Chelsea, the Democratic Party’s cultist obsession with her family’s access to a vast network of wealthy donors leaves any congressional race of her choosing open to Chelsea if she wants to run.

"This would be a disaster for the Democratic Party.

"Instead of moving on—and being better off for it—another Clinton in public office would broaden the party’s disconnect with working and middle class voters." . . .
