Republicans need to learn the lesson of Clinton and Kennedy

Don Surber  "Scott Adams of Dilbert fame thinks Roy Moore is toast, I don't. The allegations of sexual impropriety are specious at best, and overwhelmed by the shoes elsewhere dropping like a shoe store in an earthquake.

"The election comes down to whether Republicans want to limit government, cut taxes, and Make America Great Again -- or whether they would like to please the news media. We cannot risk the disapproval of Charlie Rose, can we?"

"Glenn Thrush may skewer us in the New York Times.

"Democrats have no such problem. They would vote for a yellow dog if he were a Democrat, and they have.

"Ted Kennedy drove drunk, let a woman die, and not only kept his Senate seat but almost became the party's 1980 presidential nominee.

"Bill Clinton was a perjurer and abuser of women.

"In both cases, Democrats stood by their man as if they were in a Tammy Wynette song.

"Republicans will say we should not lower ourselves to their standards.

"That's loser talk.

"I love my country more than I love my party -- so I say vote for Roy Moore. If guilty, you can remove him. But if innocent, you cannot install him if he loses to super-liberal Doug Jones.

"The fate of the country is too important to give Democrats a Senate seat.

"Oh sure, Democrats are willing to sacrifice Al Franken only because Democratic Governor Mark Dayton will appoint a Democrat to succeed him.

"I don't think Franken likes the job any more." . . .

Democratic State Rep. Arrested In Anti-Black Friday Protest Photo of Peter Hasson PETER HASSON

Daily Caller  "A Democratic state representative in Missouri was among those arrested as part of anti-Black Friday protests in St. Louis.

"State Rep. Bruce Franks Jr. was among seven people arrested after they marched through the St. Louis Galleria mall, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. The protesters reportedly chanted “Shut it down!” as they marched through the mall.

UK Daily Mail   "Denzel Washington says upbringing and a lack of father figures are to blame for many young men ending up in jail.

"The Oscar winner, 62, was speaking at the premiere of his latest film, Roman J. Israel, Esq., in which he stars as an idealistic defense attorney whose life is upended when his partner, the firm's front man, dies.

"Asked if the film made him feel more cynical about the justice system, the star replied: 'It starts at home.'

"In an earlier interview, the actor touched upon some of his own experiences growing up.

" 'I grew up with guys who did decades (in prison) and it had as much to do with their fathers not being in their lives as it did to do with any system,' he told Reuters."

Gov. Jerry Brown: California should be able to reduce public employees’ pension benefits

Leslie Eastman

Potentially a more meaningful legacy than the one that earned him the “Moonbeam” moniker.

 

"As Professor Jacobson recently noted, California Governor Jerry Brown occasionally has moments of sanity and clarity.

"In what can only be described as a Thanksgiving miracle, it is being reported that Brown is endeavoring to tackle the looming employee pension crisis by reforming the pension benefits for current government employees.

Gov. Jerry Brown got most of what he wanted when he carried a proposal to shore up the state’s underfunded public employee pension plans by trimming benefits for new workers.

Five years later, he’s in court making an expansive case that government agencies should be able to adjust pension benefits for current workers, too.

A new brief his office filed in a union-backed challenge to Brown’s 2012 pension reform law argues that faith in government hinges in part on responsible management of retirement plans for public workers.

“At stake was the public’s trust in the government’s prudent use of limited taxpayer funds,” the brief reads, referring to the period when he advocated for pension changes during the recession.

"Brown has been battling the public employee unions in California over the 2012 pension reform measures, and his office this month supplanted the attorney general in defending Brown’s pension reform law court. Legal Insurrection readers will recall that the state attorney general is Xavier Becerra, who has spent much of his time in office overseeing the states War Against President Trump.

"The numbers behind California’s current pension woes are staggering." . . .

SICK! April Ryan Hurls Racist Insults at Diamond and Silk Over #PieGate

The Gateway Pundit  "Diamond and Silk were racially attacked by April Ryan following an appearance on Fox and Friends Weekend on Saturday morning in which the Trump supporting black female duo talked about several topics, including the ginned up by liberals controversy over White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ Thanksgiving Day chocolate pecan pie. Diamond and Silk, while harshly critical of Ryan, did not attack their fellow black female in racial terms, making the responding racist attacks on them by Ryan more disturbing.

"Sanders was accused on Friday by April Ryan, a CNN analyst and White House reporter for American Urban Radio Network, of faking a photo of the pie and demanded that Sanders bake her a pie to prove herself. However, Ryan said she would not eat the pie, accusing Sanders of wanting to poison her because she is a reporter.

"The photo of the pie posted by Sanders has been proven by Gizmodo to not have been previously posted to the Internet." . . .

Linda Tripp: 'It's a Day Late, and It's a Dollar Short'

The Weekly Standard

"Monica Lewinsky's confidante has a lot to say to the women who have finally acknowledged that Bill Clinton is a sexual predator."

 

. . . "Tripp has a quiet life in Northern Virginia horse country, avoiding the public attention that was so unwelcome in the late 1990s. But the unending flow of headlines about the bad behavior of powerful men, she says, “is forcing me to relive a lot of it.” She’s unconvinced by recent calls in the press for Clinton’s deeds to be reconsidered in a more critical light. “They have nothing to lose, and this is now permissible,” she says. “The fact that the Clintons are dead in the water gives [the media] tacit approval to act like human beings. . . . It’s disingenuous.”

"She finds it particularly galling to hear former Clinton defenders attributing their latter-day awakening to evolving social mores. In a November 16 interview with the New York Times, New York senator Kirsten Gillibrand said that she now believes that Bill Clinton should have resigned because of his relationship with Monica Lewinsky. “Things have changed,” she said.

“ 'What information do they have at their fingertips today that they didn’t have 20 years ago?” Tripp asks. “What information has changed?' ” . . .

Following the Trump-Russia Dossier Money

Frontpage

"Proof solidifies that Fusion GPS took money from Democrat law firms."

"Unsealed bank records appear to reinforce the claim that Democrat Hillary Clinton’s campaign bought and paid for the sensational “piss-gate” dossier that used anonymous sources to smear President Trump by falsely linking him to Russia.

"The dossier is the salacious, 35-page report commissioned by Democrat-aligned opposition research firm Fusion GPS. The statements in the partisan hit job were compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele and published by BuzzFeed. One claim was that Donald Trump hired prostitutes to urinate on a bed.

"The dossier was just one of many particularly outrageous dirty tricks Clinton’s campaign to undercut her opponent’s campaign during the 2016 election cycle. Clinton also personally authorized the illicit efforts of socialist felon Bob Creamer and organizer Scott Foval who fomented violence at Trump campaign rallies, as James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas group revealed in undercover videos.

"President Trump and his defenders have repeatedly suggested Democrats, Russia, or the FBI – or all three – may have helped fund the infamous document dump.

"What’s new here are bank records from two Democrat-aligned law firms listing 112 transactions involving Fusion GPS. Clinton campaign and DNC lawyer Marc Elias reportedly hired Fusion GPS in April 2016 to conduct opposition research against Trump." . . .

One wonders how Charlie Rose covered these guys.

Bill Clinton and the 'Lolita Express'  . . . "The “right on the issues” defense does not apply to Republicans like Judge Roy Moore, nor does presumption of innocence. Democratic hypocrites rushed to condemn Moore faster than you can say “Anthony Weiner.” Franken, Menendez, and Conyers are right on the issues, which may be why the chorus for their unseating is, to say the least, somewhat muted. Judge Moore has been accused of dallying with underage girls, which is a charge his accusers are mysteriously not bringing up against Bill Clinton, a frequent passenger on the jet of accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. As noted by the Daily Caller: "
. . . "Bill Clinton had a habit of ditching his Secret Service protection when flying with child predator Epstein on his “Lolita Express”:

Fox News reported Friday that records show Mr. Clinton declined Secret Service protection on at least five flights.

The network’s investigation reveals Mr. Clinton flew on the Boeing 727 “Lolita Express” 26 times, more than doubling the previously reported 11 trips.

“Bill Clinton… associated with a man like Jeffrey Epstein, who everyone in New York, certainly within his inner circles, knew was a pedophile. Why would a former president associate with a man like that?” said Conchita . . .

No such thing as "old news" anymore: 

Thanksgiving allowed Americans to sit in front of the TV and enjoy their favorite contact sport all day long. It’s called the news. As the day began, the number of Democratic perverts was leading the number of Republican perverts by a score of twelve-to-ten, with plenty of time left in the ballgame. Comedian Argus Hamilton

Al Gore’s dark past is an inconvenient truth  . . . "While speaking to detectives in January of 2009 the woman said she had been doing requested abdominal work on Mr. Gore when he demanded she go lower.

"The New York Times reported that she told police, “I was shocked and I did not massage beyond what is considered a safe, nonsexual area of the abdomen,” she said. “He further insisted and acted angry, becoming verbally sharp and loud.' ” . . .

Can we get rid of Al Gore as a spokesman for global warming now?  . . . "Gore for years has portrayed himself as a figure of noble righteousness, first narrowly losing the 2000 election to George W. Bush and claiming he'd won, and then making a supposed truth-teller's movie about the badness of global warming, called 'An Inconvenient Truth,' enabling him to walk off with the Nobel Peace Prize.

"But then there was this other side to him, the pervert side, the guy who harassed the masseuses and roared with volcanic anger when they didn't rub his private parts as he had ordered them to do during his massages at assorted mansions and spas." . . .

:Because like Michael Moore, whose Sicko movie extolled the glories of Cuba's Castrocare, it  was the film's false claims that led to the Nightmare of Obamacare in the U.S., Al Gore's movie 'An Inconvenient Truth' led to global warming becoming an article of faith among the left and standard fare taught in schools. Europe was particularly smitten."

Al's chakra needed releasing. But then there's Joe:

Well, if Charlie Rose walking around visitors naked is perverted, what about this, if true?  . . . "The naked swimming and the last-minute changes of schedule mean that being assigned to Mr Biden is seen as 'the second worst assignment in the Secret Service,' Mr Kessler writes." . . .And if you're a Delaware neighbor of Biden's, it's a good reminder not to just drop by for a swim.

We’re all reluctant scholars, like it or not (and who does?)." . . .

Washington Post reporter caught plotting liberal agenda with billionaire George Soros

Bran Flood  

"Allegedly unbiased Washington Post reporter Janell Ross spoke at a top-secret meeting of liberal movers and shakers last week, where Democratic donors including billionaire George Soros outlined the future of their progressive agenda.

"A Post spokesperson told the Washington Free Beacon that Ross took part of the California event “without notifying her superiors that she would be attending.”

"The Democracy Alliance, which hosted the event, bills itself as “the largest network of donors dedicated to building the progressive movement in the United States” on the group’s official website. The liberal group also claims to “play a leading role in fostering the infrastructure necessary to advance a progressive agenda” in the United States." . . . .

. . . "Members of the secretive liberal group who attended the shady presentation each promised to donate at least $20,000 to advance its left-wing agenda. The session was part of a three-day conference at the luxurious La Costa Resort located in Carlsbad, Calif., last week, where the group plotted their 2018 "resistance" and game plan, according to the Beacon. Soros was introduced by a video message from Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and House Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, according to the paper." . . .

Thomas Lifson:  The Washington Post's pretentions just died in the darkness

. . . "I am absolutely fine with newspapers, websites, TV networks, and other media having a political viewpoint.  After all, American Thinker proudly does.  But the WaPo, like most of the MSM, continues to pretend it is a disinterested seeker of the truth and (lately) the guardian of democracy.  Spare me!  Conspiring in secret with plutocrats committed to using their wealth to amplify their political power, bending the state to their own interests and preferences, is the antithesis of guarding democracy.

"The WaPo officially is a laughingstock."
