Maxine Waters Busted Talking With Russians Hackers… “Impeachable Offense”

The Truth Division  Published  2 years ago on  February 16, 2017

"This may be the wildest thing you’ve seen in a long while.

"The mainstream media — or any media, really — has yet to report on the fact that California Democrat Maxine Waters was called by Russian hackers and one of which posed as the Ukrainian Prime Minister “Vladimir Groysman'” — which is a fake name.

"While they’re hackers, they’re also pranksters, putting their 11-minute conversation with the congresswoman online, showing the entire world how badly she was duped by a simple Ukrainian accent.

"It’s very embarrassing, yet very entertaining — however, a congressional member talking with foreign nationals about U.S. national security issues is an impeachable offense, making this video as damning as it is funny.  

"Take a look:

New Cali Gov to Strip Border Defenses

Dimwit Politics  "The 2018 United States midterm election dust has barely settled, but California’s Governor-elect Gavin Newsom is already rolling out his proposed post-inauguration agenda. At the top of his list is recalling 1,800 National Guards from the state’s southern border with Mexico.

"Come January 2019, Newsom plans to announce the formal withdrawal of the military personnel whose presence is helping to keep out the illegal entry into the U.S. by thousands of Central Americans who continue to arrive in droves. The future Golden State governor said the Guards’ participation in this effort “seems pretty trivial.”

"In true politician style, Newsom allowed for the possibility that he might not keep his promise:

“ 'I have every desire to pull those Guardsmen back and assist in other capacities. It’s my intention today, but common conditions change, and so I want to caveat that with that understanding.”

"Newsom called the dispatch of almost two thousand National Guards merely “a stunt on the President’s part.” For months on the campaign trail, the prospective governor had opposed deploying the Guard to assist federal border patrol agents and troop members.

" 'According to Newsom, California is a “state of refuge.” This means that the new state administration plans to welcome each and every immigrant with open arms and open borders.

"The governor-elect plans to visit Mexico in the near future to meet with officials there to discuss the “humanitarian crisis” underway at the U.S.-Mexico border.


"Putting illegal aliens and caravan invasions above national security may prove to be a dangerous course. Newsom also proposed that financial assistance for illegal aliens and the caravan invaders in Tijuana should come from the state, local, and the federal governments." . . .

Polish government: wind turbines will be scrapped within 17 years

Watts Up With That?

"All wind farms operating today in Poland will be scrapped by 2035, with no new turbines built to replace them, stipulates draft “Energy Policy of Poland until 2040” presented by Ministry of Energy on Friday. This is a political decision, the Minister explained.

"On Wednesday the government contracted with investors the construction of several hundred new wind turbines (with a capacity of approximately 1 GW). The average prices offered by investors, at which they committed to sell electricity, barely reached 197 PLN/MWh. This is less than the current market price (250 PLN/MWh) and much less that the total production cost in new coal-fired power plants (350 PLN/MWh).

"However, on Friday Ministry of Energy presented the draft Energy Policy of Poland, which reads that all existing wind turbines will be scrapped by 2035, with the ones just contracted by the government a few years later. No new wind farms will be built to replace them.
. . . 

"Ministry missed technological progress?

“ 'The practice demonstrates that onshore wind turbines are available only 20 percent of the time, whereas offshore this is 40-45 percent,” Minster Krzysztof Tchórzewski explained on Friday." . . .  Full story here.

"A Republic, If You Can Keep It."

QuotesGram

The National Constitution Center  . . . "If there is a lesson in all of this it is that our Constitution is neither a self-actuating nor a self-correcting document. It requires the constant attention and devotion of all citizens. There is a story, often told, that upon exiting the Constitutional Convention Benjamin Franklin was approached by a group of citizens asking what sort of government the delegates had created. His answer was: "A republic, if you can keep it." The brevity of that response should not cause us to under-value its essential meaning: democratic republics are not merely founded upon the consent of the people, they are also absolutely dependent upon the active and informed involvement of the people for their continued good health."

Romney's last chance to make a first impression didn't go well

From Dec. 31: How Mitt Romney Is Plotting His Revenge On Trump "I know! I'll hit him with an anti-Trump editorial! That'll put me in fat city with the terrifying left and their media!"

Mitt Romney backtracks after Trump-hating op-ed attack bombs  "Arriving in Washington for his new gig as Utah's junior Senator, Mitt Romney jumped right in to revert to form, putting out a Washington Post attack op-ed decrying President Trump's lack of 'character,' and calling on Republicans to reach across the aisle." . . .

"It's also very unwelcome. Here Trump has given us the best economy in decades, and Mitt has almost nothing to say about it other than he agrees with it. Trump also never wavered on the appointment of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and fought like a lion to get more constitutionally-minded judges appointed. Trump chipped away at the nightmare of Obamacare, starting with an end to its vile poverty tax slapped onto the Americans who cannot afford its costly one-size-fits-all offerings." . . .

"It shows that his potshot against Trump bombed, particularly with Republicans, who were all out there and ready to be his friend, but can now see that he's got other priorities, such as filling the towering boots of ... Jeff Flake.

"And man, that is making him unpopular." . . .

Well, now Romney's made himself unpopular. And now he's backtracking. President Trump has said that if Romney had fought President Obama as hard as he fights against Trump, he'd be president today. It's true enough, but the backtrack is obviously Romney's style, proof that he never would have made a good president. With this latest failed attack, we now we know why he didn't win. He doesn't 'get' winning.

Let's call Mitt Romney 'Mitt McCain Flake'  . . . "Romney showed no fight against Obama in 2012.  He selected Paul Ryan as his V.P. running mate, who had absolutely no fight as the V.P. candidate in 2012 and did his best to sabotage President Trump's efforts to secure funding for the southern border wall. 

"Romney did not fight back when Harry Reid falsely accused him of not paying his income taxes."

Lou Dobbs: “I can’t believe the people of Utah elected this creep.”  

“He’s a fool, and he is also absolutely a treacherous fool,” said Dobbs. “He’s an embarrassment to the state of Utah. That’s the way it’s going to be because he’s obviously committed to his role as the smallest man in the Senate. It’s disgusting.”

Lindsey Graham, Other Republicans Attack Mitt Romney For Anti-Trump Op-Ed
. . . "Graham concluded by issuing a dire warning to Romney about the fleeting praise of the media and urged him to learn from what happened to Brett Kavanaugh." . . .

"If he's going to be the critic from Utah, it's going to hurt him and Utah," Graham said in an interview with Brian Kilmeade on Fox News Radio.  . . . " 'Here we go with Mitt Romney, but so fast! Question will be, is he a Flake? I hope not. " . . .

@RandPaul  Like other Big Government Republicans who never liked Reagan, Mitt Romney wants to signal how virtuous he is in comparison to the President. Well, I’m most concerned and pleased with the actual conservative reform agenda @realDonaldTrump has achieved.

"Virtue-signalling" is what media people do.  

Cavuto Reminds Rand He Said 'Worse Things' About Trump Than Romney. Rand Explains Why That's Different

. . . "But, as soon as Trump stepped foot in the Oval Office, Paul cooled it with the character assassinations. Sure he has disagreements with the president and votes against him from time to time, but personal attacks are out of bounds" . . .

Reflections on Romney  . . . "Romney’s pledge to speak out against “significant statements or actions that are divisive” is pathetic. Any statement or action of a conservative-leaning Republican president is going to be “divisive.' ” . . .

HOWDY DO FELLOW KIDS! Internet Tees Off On Elizabeth Warren’s Beer-Chugging Video

Legal Insurrection

Daily Wire  "Talk about a cringe.
"On New Year's Eve, Sen. Elizabeth Warren live streamed on Instagram shortly after announcing that she is forming an exploratory committee to ponder a run for president in 2020 (we're going to go out on a limb here and say she's 100% in).
"The session was just, uh, weird.
"The scene opened in a kitchen. "If you hear gnawing in the background, that's because Bailey is in the kitchen," Warren said and swung the camera toward a dog on the floor. "Say hello, yeah, yeah," she said, petting the dog. "He said something with his tail, that's who he is. Yes. Sweet boy. That's our Bailey. That's our Bailey. And Bailey wags his tail."
"Warren, 69, said, "Hold on a second, I'm going to get me, um —" Then she pointed off screen to the refrigerator "— a beer." The Massachusetts Democrat slapped her thigh then disappeared. Bottles clanked, then she returned with a brown bottle, twisting off the top. "My husband Bruce is now here. You want a beer?" she asks. He passes.
"Then she takes a quaff of brew and leans into the camera. "Who do we have here. Skyler? And 14 others? Hello? Denise? Hi."
"Ugh. The whole escapade seemed an obvious attempt to "get hip," to follow some younger stars of the Democratic Party, like 29-year-old former bartender Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Texas Rep. Robert "Beto" O'Rourke, cast by the mainstream media as the second coming of JFK." . . .

Islamic State In Ukraine: A Christmas Present From The West

An axis of evil formed between them and the head-chopping, heart-eating, crucifying killers of Islamist extremism must mark a new low in Western policy. And the worst possible Christmas present for the Christians of eastern Ukraine.

ZeroHedge  "Islamist Chechen fighters who honed their combat skills at Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) training camps are at war against Ukrainian rebels, confirms the Times."

"The report in British newspaper the Times, that Chechen Islamists, many reeling from defeat in Syria and Iraq amongst the alphabet soup of fanaticism, had indeed arrived at the war front in eastern Ukraine, woke me up from any Christmas torpor.

"An earlier report in the New York Times had revealed that the Islamist Chechens were under the command of the fascist “Right Sector” and were there to “fight Russians” because “we like fighting Russians” and “will never stop fighting Russians.”

"For the Times at Christmas it was enough to quote one of their commanders:

“Putin is our common enemy.”

"A quote which of course could have come from the editor of the Times!

"While the report was a wake-up call for me, not so the rest of the British media still less the British political class. Tumbleweed rolled over the media spaces where fear and loathing should have been. There was more interest in Strictly Come Dancing than the long bearded Islamist extremists, who were now, once again, our dancing partners in crime.

"But it was always thus.

"When I returned to the House of Commons in 2012 after a brief absence, I asked the then Prime Minister David Cameron if he had read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. And if so, if he had read it all the way to the end. The end in which the monster, the good doctor had so carelessly created, broke free from his control and began acting like, well, a monster.

"On another occasion I was trapped in a lift briefly with the then Foreign Secretary William (now Lord) Hague. I told him:

“William, you’ve been wrong before, in fact you’ve been wrong all your life. But you’ve never been insane before. This policy of putting knives in the hands of Islamist fanatics and allowing them to go to Syria is not just wrong, it’s insane.”  

"And one day, I added portentously: “Such men with such knives will be in this building and looking for you, looking for me.” Which came true just three years later."  . . .

Well, we can always sic Mad-Dog Mattis on them if necessary. Oh, wait! No....

Actually, 2018 Was a Pretty Good Year

Victor Davis Hanson

Aside from the Washington hysterias, 2018 was a most successful year for Americans.

[Christmas] shoppers at the King of Prussia Mall in Pennsylvania

"The year 2018 will be deplored by pundits as a bad year of more unpredictable Donald Trump, headlined by wild stock-market gyrations, the melodramas of the Robert Mueller investigation, and the musical-chair tenures of officials in the Trump administration.

"A quarter of the government is still shut down. Talk of impeachment by the newly Democratic-controlled House of Representatives is in the air. Seemingly every day there are sensational breakthroughs, scandals, and bombshells that race through social media and the Internet — only to be forgotten by the next day.

"In truth, aside from the Washington hysterias, 2018 was a most successful year for Americans.

"In December, the United States reached a staggering level of oil production, pumping some 11.6 million barrels per day. For the first time since 1973, America is now the world’s largest oil producer

"Since Trump took office, the U.S. has increased its oil production by nearly 3 million barrels per day, largely as the result of fewer regulations, more federal leasing, and the continuing brilliance of American frackers and horizontal drillers. It appears that there is still far more oil beneath U.S. soil than has ever been taken out. American production could even soar higher in the months ahead." . . .

Mr. Hanson sums up with this:

Europe’s three most powerful leaders — Angela Merkel of Germany, Emmanuel Macron of France, and Theresa May of the United Kingdom — have worse approval ratings than the embattled Donald Trump. In sum, the more media pundits claimed that America was on the brink of disaster in 2018, the more Americans became prosperous and secure.

The Truth About Democratic Morality

Tom DeLay exposed a Democrat secret memo in which Obama's DoJ's plans to legalize 12 perversions which includes bestiality, polygamy and make having sex with little boys legal. The secret memo mapped out how Democrats would attack churches who refuse to submit to having their constitutional religious liberty taken away.

Marcus is renowned for proclaiming, “I am NOT an African-American! I am Lloyd Marcus AMERICAN!!!”

Lloyd Marcus  "Democrat Nancy Pelosi said Trump's border wall is immoral and too expensive. Hearing Pelosi lecture Trump and the American people about morality is beyond repulsive.

"Pelosi, her fellow Democrats and fake news media seek to prevent our side from using the word “morality” in the political arena. Any Republican and conservative who dares bring up the morality of an issue is immediately branded a religious nut, trying to force their wacko outdated values onto the public.

"Pelosi and her minions are flooding the airwaves with their absurd perverted narrative that building a wall (to protect Americans) is immoral. Meanwhile, these wicked Democrats who refuse to secure our borders live in highly secured and gated communities. Using their logic, shouldn't stopping people from invading their personal properties make Democrats immoral?

"As I said, Democrats having the gall to throw morality into the face of Trump and everyday Americans who desire a secure border is pretty obnoxious. Here are examples of Democrats' twisted view of morality.

"Democrats have forced LGBTQ lessons into schools. Funded by LGBTQ special interest groups like Human Rights Campaign, Planned Parenthood's Sex Ed program are infecting curriculum in public schools across America. Brace yourself. Kids are actually being instructed in dangerous and violent sexual practices such as asphyxiation and BDSM.

"Planned Parenthood was caught on video advising a 15-year-old girl to allow her boyfriend to beat, whip and gag her. 

"To deceive parents, Planned Parenthood claims their sex ed includes abstinence. However, PP's definition of abstinence includes anal sex, oral sex, masturbation and mutual masturbation. " . . . Video linked to by Mr. Marcus posted by TD
