It seems Pete Buttigieg wants to be considered a victim for street cred

This is so puny and childish of Mayor Pete

Pence: I Worked With Buttigieg For a Long Time...What's the Problem Now? "As South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg continues to suggest Vice President Mike Pence is a bigot for his belief in traditional marriage, the latter wonders what happened to their former friendly working relationship. The two worked together when Pence was governor of Indiana, suggesting Buttigieg was clearly aware of Pence's religious beliefs. Yet, since announcing his run for president, Buttigieg has suggested that Pence's quarrel with his lifestyle is not with him, but "with my Creator."
. . . "We worked very closely together when I was governor and I considered him a friend," Pence said. "He knows I don't have a problem with him. I don't believe in discrimination against anybody. I treat everybody the way I want to be treated."
. . . Critics were ready to troll Pence last month when the openly gay prime minister of Ireland arrived at the White House with his partner. Instead, shockingly, the vice president politely greeted them with the same respect he shows any head of state. . . .

Mayor Pete Jesus-splains to me?  . . . "I am Christian, but I am also an American.  I have every right to vote in accordance with my interests, and after the last eight years of being called a bitter clinger who clings to my religion and my guns (I don't have any guns, thank you, but I sure believe you have a right to yours!) and after watching Jack Phillips being persecuted by a transgender attorney, I know where my interests lie.

"The Constitution says I have a right to practice my religion, but there are very real forces that don't want me to do so, the Democratic Party first and foremost among them.  I will vote for people who support my right to practice my religion, even if they aren't perfect people.  Politics is not the same as religion, after all.  In politics, it's okay to accept that which is less than perfect.  In my faith, I strive to be perfect even as my Father is perfect.  I know the difference.  Does Mr. Buttigieg?

"So Pete should give it up.  I know that as a Democrat, he likely would be opposed to what I believe in.  Even if he is willing to let me believe, he would likely bow to those in his party who want to crush me and prevent me from living out my faith.

"I will vote for candidates who may not be perfect but who will let me live my life, and my faith, as I desire."

Revealed: Two decades before college admissions scandal, the Clintons tried to game system for Chelsea's boyfriend

Washington Examiner "Bill and Hillary Clinton tried to bully a prestigious scholarship program into selecting Chelsea Clinton’s then-boyfriend and then sought "payback" when they were resisted, according to a former top foreign policy adviser to Barack Obama.

"The episode took place nearly 19 years ago but has fresh resonance after revelations last month of multimillion-dollar bribes paid by parents to get their children into elite colleges, including Stanford University, which Chelsea Clinton and her then-boyfriend Jeremy Kane attended. Among those recently implicated was Michelle Obama's former tennis coach." . . .

When will this nightmare end? . . .

. . . "What will it take? Another two years? Another 19 hardened Democrat lawyers and 40 professional staffers? Another 500 witnesses? Another 50 million dollars spent, 2,800 subpoenas, 500 search warrants?" . . .  ". . . The real collusion was Democrat collusion, starting with Steele's phony and salacious dossier, filled with falsehoods and a moving curtain of lies invented by the Russian FSB (AKA KGB), purchased with Clinton's $165,000 passed through a DNC Washington law firm to fool  FISA judges four times to bring innocent citizens to their knees and financial ruin.  A DOJ and FBI infiltrated by rogue high-ranking officials who were committed to doing anything in their power to change an election, and if that plan failed, they planned an "insurance policy" to have Trump impeached at worst or impeded and powerless at best." . . .

During the Obama administration was when it first dawned on me that America had become
a banana republic, putting third-world politicians into high office.TD

AG Barr: “Spying Did Occur” on the Trump Campaign  . . . "Given the players here (see also: Former FBI Director Comey, Former FBI Deputy Director McCabe, and Former FBI Agent Strzok), an investigation into the investigation will likely not bode well for those afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome.

"Trump fired back, calling the “illegal investigation” a “phony and treasonous hoax.' ”

The Day of Reckoning Is at Hand  . . . "Coming from Barr, a most measured and serious man, this explosive testimony portends a bleak future for all those FBI, Department of Justice, and intelligence community operatives who used their official positions and enormous — bordering on limitless — governmental powers to undermine the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, and, failing that, to undo the results of the 2016 election. So it is that Barr’s description of the possibility of such political surveillance as a “big deal” is understatement of the first order. As “big deals” go, the stakes couldn’t be any higher.

"On cue, the Democrats and their wholly owned mainstream media subsidiary have tried to dull the impact of Barr’s testimony. One bedraggled party flak claimed on network television that, since Barr merely thought spying had occurred, he had not confirmed that it had really, truly and actually happened. And, resorting to the left’s default position on all things Trump, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin has called for Barr’s impeachment. " . . .

Focus on the Leaking, Not Just the Spying  . . . "Schiff should recalibrate his umbrage. Trump will be president until at least 2021. If Democrats see no problem with the anonymous disclosure of elements of ongoing counterintelligence investigations, or the fruits of surveillance, what is to stop Trump from doing it too? To borrow a popular slogan of the moment: This is not normal."

Barr Should Focus on 2 Questions When Investigating Spying on Trump Campaign

. . . "First, did the FBI and the Justice Department have evidence to justify opening an investigation and counterintelligence operation looking at the Trump presidential campaign? "And second, did those who authorized the spying meet the requirements of the FISA law to justify electronic surveillance?" . . .  Hans von Spakovsky

It Begins: Democrats, Media Promote Hiring Boycott Against DHS Secretary Nielsen, Other Trump Officials

Legal Insurrection
"We’ve gone beyond “you will be made to care.” Now you will suffer as a result of any political affiliations or stances that don’t properly align with The Resistance’s goals."

. . . CNN [of course!] legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin cryptically said on Monday that Nielsen will “get what she deserves”:

Kirstjen Nielsen, I think, is a great example of what happens when you go to work for Donald Trump. He is the great reputation killer. Here is this woman who was a reasonably-admired bureaucrat. And for the rest of her life, for the rest of her life, people will look at her and think, oh, that’s the woman who put children in cages. That’s the woman who broke up families across the border. And you know what? They’ll be right. Because she implemented that policy. Jeff Sessions, the Attorney General, sort of created it, but she implemented it. And, you know, she’s going to get what she deserves.

"As to what exactly Nielsen “deserves,” Toobin didn’t elaborate, but you can rest assured if a Republican had said that they would have been considered as threatening a public official. Because double standards and all that.

"Toobin’s comments and the actions of Restore Public Trust are part and parcel of the larger Democratic effort to “pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it” a la Saul Alinksy." . . .

Ken Starr says Hillary Clinton DID trigger Vince Foster's suicide when she humiliated him in front of White House staff and admits he omitted the finding in FBI report because he didn't want to 'inflict further pain' on her

UK Daily Mail

• Hillary attacked and humiliated Foster in front of other White House aides a week before he took his own life on July 20, 1993 
• 'Hillary put him down really, really bad in a pretty good-size meeting. She told him he would always be a little hick town lawyer who was obviously not ready for the big time,' former FBI agent Coy Copeland told Kessler
• 'Foster was profoundly depressed, but Hillary lambasting him was the final straw because she embarrassed him,' former FBI supervisory agent Jim Clemente said

. . . "Ken Starr deliberately left out of his final report the FBI’s finding that Hillary Clinton 'triggered' the suicide of President Clinton's Deputy White House Counsel to spare her feelings, DailyMail.com can reveal. 

"FBI agents investigating the death of Vince Foster learned he was set off after Hillary attacked and humiliated him in front of other White House aides a week before he took his own life on July 20, 1993. 

"But for what were then unexplained reasons, Starr elected to conceal the FBI's finding that Hillary's tirade triggered Foster's suicide when he wrote his final report on the matter.

"At a reception for authors participating in the 2019 Annapolis Book Festival last weekend, I asked Starr why he omitted the damaging FBI finding.

"At first, he beat around the bush, citing well-established facts indicating that Foster was already depressed before Hillary lashed into him at the White House meeting.

"But when pressed, Starr admitted he 'did not want to inflict further pain' on Hillary by revealing that her humiliation of Foster a week before he took his own life pushed him over the edge." . . .

We appreciate your courage, Mr. Starr, because we can picture what will be coming at you from Democrats now.

Hillary Clinton Bullied Vince Foster Before Suicide, Said Ex-Clinton Friend in Final Interview  "Hillary Clinton relentlessly browbeat her clinically depressed former law partner Vince Foster shortly before he committed suicide in 1993, according to notes from a final jailhouse interview with a former close business partner of the Clintons.

"Jim McDougal, a long-time member of the Clintons’ Arkansas inner circle and a central figure in the Whitewater scandal, passed away from a heart attack in prison in 1998. But he said in a final interview before his death that Hillary Clinton had a "hard, difficult personality" and was "riding [Vince Foster] every minute" about Whitewater before Foster took his own life.

"McDougal also described his ex-friend Bill as a "master con artist" who married Hillary after a "cold-blooded search" to find himself a politically beneficial wife. Bill, according to McDougal, also privately wanted to prevent Hillary from succeeding in her own political career." 

• "In the interviews with Wilkie, McDougal claimed Bill embarked on a "cold-blooded search" in the 1970s to find a wife who could help him politically—and decided on Hillary.
• "The future 42nd president was a "master con artist" who "prepped for this with girls and school teachers," he added.
• "McDougal also described Hillary as "generally a pain in the ass" and "very difficult for everyone, including Bill." He said Bill seemed to privately enjoy the Whitewater scandal because it was damaging to Hillary’s future political career."

Still want to change the Constitution, eliminate the Electoral College, and let 16-year-olds vote because of this woman?

Late update: 

Sporting cell phones, brand-name clothes — and babies, another 1,000-strong migrant caravan heads for the US

Monica Showalter

"Get ready for another migrant caravan coming up from Honduras to the U.S. border, organized by activist groups there calling for volunteers to beef up the numbers.

"OANN reports that the latest one taking off is 1,000 strong and loaded with people carrying babies.

Yet another migrant caravan bound for the U.S. is forming in Honduras.  According to reports Wednesday, at least 1,000 migrants have joined the new caravan as it prepares to depart for the United States-Mexico border.

The caravan is the fourth large group of migrants to leave Honduras since last October, and it includes families and young children. It reportedly formed as a result of a "mobilization campaign" on social media.

"It's a very good report, but perhaps the most salient point is listed in the comments section, with OANN readers commenting on the obvious prosperity of the migrants who are claiming poverty.  Some are obese, some have brand new clothes on, virtually all have expensive cell phones, and many go for brand-name traveling gear.  One other thing they would obviously have a lot of is money, to make a trip of this scale.  The very poor of countries such as Honduras (and certainly the overseas country nationals who may be joining them) do not have the means to migrate." . . .
