Big Names Headline The People’s Summit In Chicago – It’s A Who’s Who Of Communists

Noisy Room  "The commies have truly come out of the closet. The whole gang will be getting together in Chicago on June 9th thru the 11th. Bernie Sanders, Michael Moore, Danny Glover and Van Jones will be headlining the People’s Summit. Chicago is where the headquarters of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) is located. They are still labeling themselves as progressives, but anyone with two functioning brain cells knows these are devout communists… comrades in arms. Thousands will join them to plot taking back America from President Trump and the Republicans. It will be one giant war room.  

"This should be common knowledge now and come as no surprise to anyone. Van Jones has a long, violent history of being a Marxist. Don’t believe his protestations that he has reformed, he hasn’t. Bernie Sanders calls himself a socialist… in reality, he’s a communist and the current healthcare plan he is presenting to Trump should prove that. He is pushing single payer healthcare. Michael Moore is a Marxist film producer and the editor of The Nation. And Danny Glover never met a communist or dictator he didn’t love." . . .

Calling themselves the politically correct term “progressives” instead of the anti-American, anti-freedom communists that they are, the above communist leaders will join thousands of other totalitarians who are hellbent to fundamentally transform America into North Korea or Venezuela.

 

In the Nunes Affair, Don’t Lose Sight of the Unanswered Questions

Andrew C. McCarthy

Aspects of the FBI’s handling of the Flynn case deserve further scrutiny.

 "Let us stipulate that it would be difficult for House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes (R., Calif.) and the Trump White House to have handled a critical intelligence matter any worse. 

"Still, the questions Nunes has raised are more important than the fact that he shot himself in the foot while pursuing the answers. 

"The chairman says he was invited by an unidentified intelligence official to review classified documents on the White House grounds — at the Old Executive Office Building, it appears, where the National Security Council has secure facilities for that purpose. These documents purportedly show that communications from Trump transition officials, and perhaps Trump himself, were intercepted during intelligence-agency monitoring of foreign powers; and Nunes says the monitoring in question appears unrelated to Russia’s meddling in the U.S. election. 

"Nunes reports that the documents he was shown suggest that the Obama administration may have been using its foreign-intelligence powers to shadow the incoming Trump team. Though the communications in question were lawfully intercepted, Nunes suggests that the identities of Trump officials should have been “masked” (i.e., concealed) under standard minimization rules that guide the dissemination of classified foreign intelligence throughout the “community” of U.S. intelligence agencies. Instead, the identities of the Trump officials were revealed and widely transmitted to people with no apparent need to know about the officials’ communications — some of which, in Nunes’s description, had “little or no apparent foreign-intelligence value.' ” . . .

Yet some conservatives feel Nunes should step down

Gorsuched!

Borked:  1987, "to discredit a candidate for some position by savaging his or hercareer and beliefs," from name of U.S. jurist Robert H. Bork whose Supreme Court nomination in 1987 was rejected after an intense counter-campaign."  Also: Kennedy, Bork and the Politics of Judicial Destruction ...  Demagoguery made manifest.

Earick Ward  "After a handful of days of congressional testimony, Neil Gorsuch exposed the Democrats as being...well, ignorant of the law.

"If it had been a heavyweight fight, the referee would have been negligent in not calling the fight after the first or second round.

"But, lo and behold, the fight went the full ten rounds, with Gorsuch specifically, and Republicans generally, standing tall, as unanimous winners on all cards.

"One Democrat after another exposed his ignorance of the Constitution and its application to the rule of law.  Neil Gorsuch was nearly flawless, answering idiotic question after idiotic question.  He exposed not only Democrats on the dais, but Progressivism generally.

"Chuckie Schumer has announced that he will filibuster Neil Gorsuch's nomination."  . . .

"If we're not careful, and if we allow the Progressive Party a foothold, we'll be Gorsuched, as we were Borked years ago.  Grow a spine.  Trust that you are working on behalf of the majority of the American people, and move forward."

Sen. Schumer Harassed Well-Connected Woman at NY Restaurant Because She Voted for Trump

Report: Sen. Schumer Harassed Well-Connected Woman at NY Restaurant Because She Voted for Trump  . . . "According to witnesses, Schumer continued the harassment after the woman and her husband left the restaurant, following them outside and yelling more insults.  
"The senator was dining with friends at Sette Mezzo when he confronted Joseph A. Califano Jr. — the former U.S. secretary of health, education and welfare under President Jimmy Carter — and his wife, Hilary, who were trying to enjoy a quiet dinner." . . .

Rush Limbaugh describes the venue for the encounter:

. . . Yeah, I remember the last time I saw a Republican voter started yelling at somebody that voted for Obama. You remember that, don’t you? Yeah, it was some Republican who… Actually, it didn’t happen. That’s why I don’t remember it. There is no such story. Because Republicans do not act like insane people — in public. In public. (chuckles) They’re not right, folks. They are not right, these Democrats. They have a sickness. There is something that has overcome them.

Wait a minute; what's this version?  . . . "Another witness tells a different version of the story, where the Califanos actually approach Schumer’s table." . . .
Some anti-Trump witness may have just wanted to get these words into print, true or not, so they would begin a pro-Schumer narrative. This witness seems to be one of a kind and probably a New York Democrat. 

Global war....er, climate change; all powerful, all knowing, more omnipotent than the Creator

Is There Anything Climate Change Can’t Do?

"Just when you thought the climate change superhero could do it all, it outdid itself by causing Brexit and diabetes."

. . .  "Suppose I told you that during a similar time period, the number of people who drowned by falling into a pool correlated with the films Nicolas Cage appeared in? Or that per capita cheese consumption correlated with the number of people who died by becoming tangled in their bedsheets? Look at the graphs and see the correlation. Anyone believe these are cause and effect results rather than interesting but spurious associations?" . . .
. . . "Instead the media agenda is that climate change is caused by man and that urgent government intervention, in the form of new taxes and regulations, is the only way to stop it.

"Is the climate changing? Of course. It always has and always will. Is human activity contributing and how much? Unknown. Can corrective human efforts change anything? Doubtful, but also unknown." . . .

Trump’s Sweeping Executive Order on Climate Policy Has Been Sorely Needed

"As promised, President Donald Trump has issued an “energy independence” executive order to undo several of the Obama administration’s climate change regulations. 

"To the benefit of all Americans who desire affordable, dependable energy, the executive order will help energy companies establish some independence from overzealous regulators.

"Here’s what the order does:

Orders the Environmental Protection Agency to review and repeal, or revise, the Clean Power Plan.

"Lipstick on a pig? Yup -- for the both the Edsel and RyanCare."

"The Edsel executives were exiled. None were involved with the Ford Mustang. If the GOP has any designs on its own Mustang, Paul Ryan can’t be within a million miles of GOP leadership."

Paul Ryan’s Edsel . . . "All of the flawed Edsel’s moving parts were destined for a dumpster. First, the car was overhyped for more than a year, with no actual previews for the automotive press; no clandestine drawings, specs, or features of any kind were revealed. Second, dealers had no advance introductions. Third, when finally launched, the Edsel looked ugly -- sensationally ugly… No, breathtakingly ugly. Fourth, workmanship was sloppy, mechanical failures recurred, and frequently. Finally, the Edsel was overengineered, too complicated for average dealer mechanics to service." . . .

Is Mo Brooks Our Lord Brougham?  . . . "But I like Mo Brooks's approach to the problem, which in some ways is similar to Lord Brougham's approach to the evil of the income tax, in some ways akin to Alexander the Great's solution to the problem of the Gordian Knot. On Friday, Brooks filed the "ObamaCare Repeal Act" in Congress. ObamaCare itself runs to thousands of pages. Brooks's remediation runs one sentence:

"Effective as of Dec. 31, 2017, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted." Roger Kimball at PJ Media

From Dennis Prager:  Purists Kill Whatever They Believe In  . . . "The first purist conservative example were the Never Trumpers, who believed it was better for Hillary Clinton to be elected president and for the Left to have four more years of presidential power than for Donald Trump to win. There were valid reasons to wonder whether Donald Trump was a conservative, and valid reasons to oppose him in the primaries. There were no valid reasons to oppose him in the general election. I said all these things then and have thus far been validated beyond my wildest dreams. . . "
