Can the GOP majority survive a Trump candidacy?

The Top Five Most Vulnerable GOP Senate Seats

. . . "Just as Democrats were exposed in 2014 and lost nine Senate seats and their majority, Republicans have 24 seats to defend in 2016 versus only 10 for Democrats. And this is a presidential year, when Democratic turnout is usually far stronger than for midterms. In 2008 and 2012, the last two presidential election years, Democrats picked up Senate seats (a net of 10), while Republicans had substantial gains from the last two midterms in 2010 and 2014 (a net of 15)." . . .

A Democrat majority will control selection of Justices and the investigation of Benghazi and the Clinton emails. The EPA head will have to reflect left-wing policies and no Obama executive orders will be cancelled. These are just for starters. TD

Will this be Republicans or Democrats?

Will the Military Answer Hillary's Call in 2016?

The potential Commander-in-Chief whose husband "loathed the military"

American Thinker  "When Barack Obama kicked off his first presidential campaign in 2008 as a junior first-term senator from Illinois, it became a political imperative for the greenhorn candidate to obtain the endorsements of retired – but still influential – senior military officers to apply a veneer of credibility to his objectively thin national security credentials.  Gaining those same endorsements could again be an engaging subplot to this year's election theater, particularly for the 2008 understudy, Hillary Clinton."
. . . 

"As the military's most senior leaders, these retired admirals and generals all presided over promotion boards for more junior officers to decide on their potential and suitability to serve in higher ranks.  Basic military promotion board thinking is to dispassionately evaluate an individual's potential to serve in a higher grade based on his record of capabilities, performance, and results.

"After similarly appraising Mrs. Clinton's track record on national security and diplomacy, accompanied by those unavoidable conversations over her integrity and honesty, will that group "promote" her in 2016?  Will members of that company of retired senior military leaders answer her call?  Given the military's performance-based ethos, coupled with the ideals and standards U.S. military members are held to account for, it seems increasingly likely that few among them would publicly offer up their names and professional reputations for her political fortunes."

Colonel Krisinger retired from the Air Force after 30 years of service.  He served two tours as a senior military adviser at the State Department.

How long until Arabs and Muslims rule, Britannia?

9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

I cannot say what the Creator meant when He gave us these words; only that they made me think of this illustration. TD 

"Those in England who deplore its Islamization are afraid to express their thoughts out loud."

Phyllis Chesler  . . . "I've just returned from a visit to this storied Isle. I saw the most sublime production of "The Tempest" at The Sam Wanamaker/Globe Theater; a wondrous  production of "As You LIke It" at the National Theater; and a riveting performance of Bellini's opera about the Druid priestess, "Norma," at the Coliseum. Every seat was filled by Brits of all ages. High Culture still lives on there--and yet, London is no longer as I first encountered it in 1961 or again, in 1969, or even in 1989.

"Now, all London only dares whisper about the Arab and Muslim takeover of their city. Nearly every single luxury hotel is owned by the Sultan of Brunei, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia as is the historic department store Harrods. (Dodi Al-Fayed's father, an Egyptian, bought it long ago when he envisioned his son marrying Princess Diana, the mother of the future King of England).

"The best townhouses on Park Lane, in Hyde Park, Belgravia, Mayfair, and Knightsbridge now belong to Arab Embassies, oil-rich sheiks, and the occasional Russian oligarch.


"Londoners who still "take tea" in the lobbies of the grand hotels, tell me in soft, resigned voices that "this is how it is and there is nothing that can be done about it. Speak out and you will fall into immediate disfavor.' " . . .

Hillary, who wants to be the one to follow Washington and Lincoln

Chris Matthews Makes Case for a Hillary-Kasich Presidential Ticket

"According to Matthews, it would be a smart play for Clinton to win over voters disaffected by a potential ticket that included Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump." . . .

Hillary’s unfortunate gesture   "Imagine for a moment if any GOP candidate – in particular Donald Trump – had made the gesture Hillary Clinton did last night, speaking to her supporters in West Palm Beach.

"But of course, the media will let this pass with no note, because they treat Democrats in general and Clinton in particular with a forgiving attitude, while taking any opportunity at all to castigate Republicans as evil."

Desperate for Millennial Female Votes, Clinton Guest Stars on Raunchy Sitcom

Maybe these young women don't appreciate her hypocrisy in claiming that all women should be believed when they say they were raped when in fact she led the charge against multiple women who claimed Bill Clinton did exactly that. With that in mind, many would rather vote for a guy offering free college than for the symbolic first woman president in a pantsuit.

. . . "But what is really sad is how low some politicians will stoop in order to scrape a few votes off of a disgusting city sidewalk. Apparently Hillary found two more votes in Broad City." . . .

If she becomes president, perhaps she will let these actors use the Lincoln bedroom rent- free for one night.

Weasel Of The Week!! – 03/17/16

Noisy Room  "Yes, once again, it’s time to present this week’s statuette of shame, The Golden Weasel!!

"Every Tuesday, the Council nominates some of the slimiest, most despicable characters in public life for some deed of evil, cowardice or corruption they’ve performed. Then we vote to single out one particular Weasel for special mention, to whom we award the statuette of shame, our special, 100% plastic Golden Weasel. This week’s nominees were particularly slimy and despicable, but the votes are in and we have our winner… the envelope please…"

Drum roll, please. . . 

Breitbart News!

"Bookworm Room: I nominate Breitbart News, which is so committed to the Trump candidacy that the organization turned on one of its own employees, even when video footage supported her version of events: It does indeed seem that a high level Trump aide assaulted Michelle Fields. If you’re going to identify yourself as a news agency — and hold yourself out as a true news alternative to mainstream media outlets that have abandoned journalism in favor of partisan advocacy — you destroy your credibility in the most weasel-ish of ways when you do exactly the same thing."

More on this here: Ben Shapiro to Megyn Kelly: Breitbart Would Call for Lewandowski’s Firing if He Were on Hillary Campaign
Shapiro responded brutally: “This is disgusting. How repulsive are you people?” He noted that he had spoken with Fields for over an hour on Wednesday night, and heard the whole story, and had personally encouraged Fields to go to the police to file a report; he suggested that she would be doing that shortly, and noted that Fields hadn’t been exploiting the case, given that she’d gone “silent on social media for almost 24 hours.”

Shapiro then concluded, “If the suggestion is that Breitbart News is out to get Trump – have you ever seen Breitbart News? Have you ever viewed its front page?”  See the video

Sad, because I admire Andrew Breitbart's site and the legacy he left for us. One sign this site has been effective was that Disney named an evil character in one of their movies Bryn Breitbart.

Bryn Breitbart is a snobby, mean girl that attends East View High School. She was thought to be thirteenth in line for the throne of Denmark, but was then discovered to be a liar. She turned all of Emma's friends against her in the episode Kids Don't Wanna Be Shunned and is revealed that her family makes toilet paper. In the end, she throws a nacho at Rosie, aimed for Emma, and causes Rosie to "die" (she only falls). She is an enemy of Emma Ross. Bryn makes her debut in Season 2 in Kids Don't Wanna Be Shunned.

Breitbart is not alone in suffering the wrath of Hollywood

Obama and Kerry on Islamic genocide of Christians

The incredulous UK Daily Mail asks why did it take the Administration so long?

• Atrocities at the core of the declaration: the August of 2014 massacre of as many as 5,000 Yazidi men, and kidnapping of as many women
• Roughly 50,000 followers of the religion were trapped on Sinjar Mountain near the border of Syria
• Obama administration determined that Christians and Shia Muslims should also be included in genocide declaration 
• Terrorist group has also committed 'crimes against humanity' and is responsible for 'ethnic cleansing' against those same groups and others

Kerry declares ISIS committing genocide against Christians, others

"Secretary of State John Kerry declared Thursday that the Islamic State is committing genocide against Christians and other minorities in the Middle East, after facing heavy pressure from lawmakers and rights groups to make the rare designation.

“ 'In my judgment, Daesh is responsible for genocide against groups in territory under its control, including Yazidis, Christians and Shia Muslims,” Kerry said at the State Department. Daesh is another name for the Islamic State.

"He accused ISIS of “crimes against humanity” and "ethnic cleansing.' " . . 

Obama Refuses To Help Christians Killed By ISIS, His Excuse Should Outrage You

Unfortunately, this chance to help has a deadline, and that deadline is today. Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry will do nothing to help these Christians, and when you hear what they are refusing to do, you will join Christians everywhere in utter outrage."

The Obama regime has one chance to help Christians killed by the Islamic State (ISIS/Daesh), and they would only need to do a really small thing to make a huge difference. Unfortunately, this chance to help has a deadline, and that deadline is today. Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry will do nothing to help these Christians, and when you hear what they are refusing to do, you will join Christians everywhere in utter outrage.

Coptic Christians being beheaded by ISIS

What can the Obama regime do to help the ongoing annihilation of Christians in the Middle East by ISIS? Simple, all they have to do is use their words and call it what it is — a genocide. As required by the Omnibus spending bill, Secretary of State John Kerry has the deadline of March, 17, 2016 to submit the documentation to prove a genocide of Christians is taking place at the hands of ISIS." . . .

"Even the liberal leaning Kirsten Powers, a Fox News pundit, has this to say:

If there is still any question about the religiously motivated actions of ISIL [ISIS], the Knights of Columbus report outlines ISIL [ISIS] propaganda that declares they will “continue to wage war against the Christians” and promises, “We will conquer your Rome, break your crosses, and enslave your women, by the permission of Allah, the Exalted … If we do not reach that time, then our children and grandchildren will reach it, and they will sell your sons as slaves at the slave market.” — via USA Today

After SCOTUS Nomination, Who Just Entered White House Has Internet Erupting

Mad World News "Now that Barack Obama has put forth his nomination for the new Supreme Court justice, it seems that our president is already getting to work. After announcing his attempt to fill the seat of Antonin Scalia with a nominee that spells big trouble for conservatives and our Second Amendment rights, the first person to walk into the White House to have a quiet talk with Obama officially has the Internet erupting."

"Right after Garland announcement, that's @CecileRichards heading into the West Wing"

. . . "According to reports, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, the country’s most notorious abortion advocate, was seen entering the residence of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue sometime after the nomination was announced. As it turns out, there’s actually an abortion case sitting in front of the Supreme Court at the moment – do you believe in coincidences?" . . .

BDS: Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Against Anti-Semitism

"The answer to the virus of anti-Semitism . . . by reacting strongly against perpetrators. They should be Boycotted from official organizations, expelled from universities and political parties. They should be Divested of funding. They should be Sanctioned by the full force of laws against discrimination and incitement to violence. Only in this way will violence against Jews be ended."

American Thinker  "It is a welcome happening that the virus, the incubus of anti-Semitism, is receiving critical attention in a global way, and in some parts of the European political mainstream. It is equally welcoming, and sadly necessary, that democratic countries in Europe as well as in the United States are now providing and funding protection and security for Jewish organizations and synagogues.  

"However, it is time to argue that mere discussion of the bigotry of anti-Semitism though necessary is insufficient. International Covenants, laws in a number of countries in Europe as well as in the U.S., prohibit discrimination or advocacy of hatred that is an incitement to discrimination, hostility, or violence. It is not simply an issue concerning free speech or limits on it." . . .

One of the heroes of the BDS movement recalls fond memories about their living with the evil Jews. I sent this to a "progressive" pro-Palestinian individual for his comment; he never responded nor even watched the video.  TD

Still Polarizing After All These Years

"Just as 2016 will be a dangerous year abroad as enemies seek to cash in their chips and consolidate their aggressions, so too divisive groups will surmise that there is one more year left to do try one more time what was impossible in the past and will be perhaps in the near future as well."

Victor Davis Hanson

"Polls confirm that Obama is the most polarizing president in recent memory. There is little middle ground: supporters worship him; detractors in greater number seem to vehemently dislike him. Why then does the president, desperate for some sort of legacy, continue to embrace polarization?

"A few hours before delivering that State of the Union, President Obama met with rapper Kendrick Lamar. Obama announced that Lamar’s hit “How Much a Dollar Cost” was his favorite song of 2015. The song comes from the album To Pimp a Butterfly; the album cover shows a crowd of young African-American men massed in front of the White House. In celebratory fashion, all are gripping champagne bottles and hundred-dollar bills; in front of them lies the corpse of a white judge, with two Xs drawn over his closed eyes. So why wouldn't the president’s advisors at least have advised him that such a gratuitous White House sanction might be incongruous with a visual message of racial hatred? Was Obama seeking cultural authenticity, of the sort he seeks by wearing a T-shirt, with his baseball cap on backwards and thumb up?

. . . 

"Tearing the country apart is the unfortunate legacy of Obama—and it will continue in Pavlovian fashion until January 2017. Each unconstitutional executive order circumventing the Congress seems to warrant a stern presidential lecture that Obama once taught constitutional law. At some point, he accepted that a majority of America did not embrace his views and probably would not ratify his agenda." . . .

Reject the donor class and fasten your seat belts

Ann Coulter   "To the extent it's still standing after yesterday, the Stop Trump movement is comforting itself with the world's biggest lie: that John Kasich is the embodiment of the Republican Party, while Donald Trump is the bastard stepchild. 

"It's exactly the opposite. 

"It is no longer a question of what the party wants. The voters -- remember them? -- keep showering Trump and Cruz with Ceausescu-like percentages. The combined vote for Trump and Cruz is a ringing chorus of what this party wants: a wall, deportation, less immigration and no job-killing trade deals. 

"In other words, what the party wants is the diametric opposite of what the donor and consultant class wants. One would have to search the history books to find a party establishment so emphatically rejected by the voters as today's Republican Party has been. 

"Trump and Cruz don't agree on everything -- Cruz is more interventionist on foreign policy, and Trump is more aggressive on bringing manufacturing home. But there's not much daylight between them on the crucial issue of whether to dissolve America's borders. By now, they both say build a wall, reduce immigration and protect American jobs. " . . .

Trump supporters better prepare for the worst, decide if they made the right choice then stick by him. Even conservative non-Trump supporters, because we all must vote Republican no matter what to cancel the leftist vote. Our call is to vote against Hillary and the Democrats. TD
