Winners and whiners

For the first time in 8 years, I am proud of my country  . . . "Still, until the very end, on November 7, thousands of unintimidated, courageous Americans showed up at Trump's rallies to save this country from the pervasive darkness blanketing this nation.

"On January 20, we will begin to sift through the wreckage of the Obama years.  The  out-of-control, angry, hate-filled protesters burning Trump in  effigy, publicly calling for his assassination, and brutalizing innocent people are Obama's nightmarish children.  Their lawless tantrums after the election remind us exactly why we, along with Donald Trump, beat Hillary Clinton."

MoveOn Petition Asks Electoral College to Vote Hillary Clinton  . . . "Furthermore, Hillary Clinton has already done the right thing, conceding the race to Trump and encouraging her supporters to accept the results of the election. Even if the Electoral College were to buck the voters and cast their ballots for Clinton, that would not alter the election, as she has already ruled herself out." . . .

If it turns out Hillary is sincere about this, she will have at last earned some new respect.

Hate in the Time of Tantrums  "We're living in a time of tantrums right now.  Liberals, progressives, and soi-disantsocial justice warriors are acting out everywhere from Harvard to the Hollywood Freeway that was blocked near my house last night by demonstrators waving signs reading "Love Trumps Hate," as they chanted "F... Trump!" over the din of the traffic." . . .

If there is so much hatred and bigotry in America . . .why do Liberals have to fake hate crimes, and acts of hatred and discrimination?

"Looks like Trump supporters have replaced the "big black guy" as faux perpetrator."

 A University of Louisiana Lafayette student who said she was physically attacked and robbed of her wallet and hijab made up the story, according to the Lafayette Police Department.

Public Information Officer Karl Ratcliff said police are charging the 18-year-old student with filing a false police report.

The young woman filed a police report Wednesday claiming two white males approached her near the campus, in the 100 block of Smith Street, around 11 a.m.

She also claimed one of the males was wearing a “Trump” hat and they both yelled racial obscenities at her, police said.

As police began to investigate the student’s claims they did not locate any witnesses or surveillance video to corroborate her story

"Why that little liar! Again, to the Left, truth is not a value, as this once again shows. Moonbattety has a loooonnnggggg list of other Hate Hoaxes you should peruse." 

Veterans Day, 2016

Who Are These 'Veterans' Who Get Their Own Special Day? . . . "There are no “jumpin’ junkies” in this military, no one who whines that their daddy couldn’t buy them a deferment or the stupid doctor said their back was just fine.  You can actually trust the man on your right and your left to save your life just as you would theirs. No fragging, no divide between the Harvard dropout and the poverty-hobbled the-Army-or-jail enlistee. 

"But along the way we have lost that great leveler that crossed class, racial, and economic boundaries.  We veterans learned so much from each other and it wasn’t always about military skills.  We learned how other people lived, what they thought and, often, what it was in their upbringing that caused them to think and talk and act in a way somewhat different from the way we were brought up." . . .

Hillary was crying inconsolably once she lost to Trump and blamed Comey and Obama

Rich Lowry  "Hillary Clinton “couldn’t stop crying” once she learned of her loss to Donald Trump on Tuesday, best-selling conservative author Ed Klein told Newsmax TV on Wednesday.

“About 6:30 this morning she called an old friend,” he began on “The Steve Malzberg Show” in an interview. “She was crying, inconsolably.

“She couldn’t stop crying.

“Her friend said — her female friend from way, way, back — said that it was even hard to understand what she was saying, she was crying so hard.

“This is Hillary we’re talking about,” Klein said.

“Eventually,” he continued, “her friend said she could make out that she was blaming James Comey, the director of the FBI, for her loss — and this I don’t understand exactly — and the president of the United States for not doing enough.”

Klein said his source then asked further about President Barack Obama.

“She said: ‘Well, she felt, Hillary felt, that the president could have stopped Comey a long time ago, because that’s what [former President] Bill [Clinton] said.”

You know I wanted Hillary over Trump but she really has no one to blame but herself. She was way too scripted and entitled. She hid herself for way too long and she just wasn’t likeable. Plus she had no message as to why we should support her. It was always more Obama and Trump is evil. Her campaign staff imo really dropped the ball."

Trump Reveals Policy Goals: "Building That Wall", End "War On Coal", Repeal Obamacare, Dismantle Dodd-Frank

Stunner! Trump cites 10th Amendment in agenda/ Explaining the Tenth Amendment to children.

"Boldin noted that in 1798, Thomas Jefferson “wrote that ‘whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force.' ' ”

Bob Unruh  "The TAC’s Michael Boldin wrote: “When it comes to limits of federal power under the Constitution, the view of many Founding Fathers fits under the same theme. That is, federal acts outside of the Constitution are null and void. Oliver Ellsworth, the Supreme Court’s third chief justice, put it this way during the ratification debates: ‘If the United States go beyond their powers, if they make a law which the Constitution does not authorize, it is void.' ' ”

. . . "Now, it appears his tenure in the Oval Office will venture from the mainstream, but probably in a good way.

"A constitutional way.

On a new website his transition team has created, he’s advocating for the 10th Amendment, the provision in the U.S. Constitution cited often by conservatives who believe the federal government has usurped rights the Founders meant for the states.

"Under his plan to “make America great again,” he addresses constitutional rights.

“Donald Trump understands the solemn duty that comes from the oath of office – swearing to ‘preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.’ He embraces the fact that the reason the Founders of this nation decided to adopt a written Constitution as the supreme law of the land for the first time in world history was to create a democratic form of government in which ordinary people would know the powers of government and the rights of the people. That is why the Constitution’s 4,400 words were written in a way that ordinary Americans would read and understand them, and use a standard to hold public officials accountable.”

The statement continues: “As President, Donald Trump will fulfill that sworn duty, vetoing legislation that exceeds congressional authority, taking actions as chief executive and commander-in-chief that are consistent with his constitutional role, and nominating judges and Supreme Court justices who are committed to interpreting the Constitution and laws according to their original public meaning.

“He will defend Americans’ fundamental rights to free speech, religious liberty, keeping and bearing arms, and all other rights guaranteed to them in the Bill of Rights and other constitutional provisions. This includes the Tenth Amendment guarantee that many areas of governance are left to the people and the states, and are not the role of the federal government to fulfill. The Constitution declares that as Americans we have the right to speak freely, share and live out our beliefs, raise and protect our families, be free from undue governmental abuse, and participate in the public square. ”

"The amendment states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”

"The Tenth Amendment Center lists about 30 specific powers granted to the federal government in the Constitution, although the number may change depending on how they’re counted:" . . .

. . . Facts about the Tenth Amendment

• The Tenth Amendment was introduced to the U.S. Constitution by James Madison.
• The Tenth Amendment is a good example of a part of the Constitution that talks about federalism, which is a type of government that is split up into different governing sections.
• The Tenth Amendment was supposed to help limit Congress’s(sp) powers, by preventing any un-enumerated rights, but instead it resulted in more uncertainty ... about their rights.

Now just who are the racists and bigots? Who said Trump supporters?

High school student is attacked in the school yard after posting her support for Trump on Instagram "Jade Armenio, a sophomore at Woodside High School in Redwood City, California, shared her view on the social media site on Tuesday night alongside millions of others. In the post, the teenager, who cannot yet vote, said she hoped the Republican candidate would win. She was attacked on camera (left) the following day by another student who grabbed her hair and threw her to the ground after Trump's election victory."

Simon Schama launches into impassioned rant as he compares Trump's election to the rise of HITLER

CNN Knew Who Was Behind the Riots in Several Major US Cities But Didn’t Report It  "This is the second day of riots which the media is fueling. MSM is hyping them for ratings. The reporters will not report who are behind these riots. It’s George Soros, the Socialist Party, the Revolutionary Communist Party and others."

The idea that America ‘doesn’t talk about’ racism is absurd

Boston Globe

. . . "Or, many of us have for days been furiously dismissing Trump’s victory as the action of “racists.” However, many of the people who voted for Trump did so for populist reasons, amid which to them, Trump’s take on black people and women was unseemly, but still less of a priority than to most who voted for Hillary Clinton. Regret this though one may, do all of these people deserve to be casually tarred with the same “racist” label that we appropriately apply to David Duke and Donald Sterling? 

. . . 

"In a similar way, racism is now used to mean not only “an opinion that certain people are inferior because of their race” but “a statement, action, or situation that someone of a certain race feels as having arisen from racist sentiment.” Racism, then, is that which I feel as racist, or something such as a societal discrepancy which I opine must have come from racism." . . .

Krauthammer: How the new Republican majority can succeed

Charles Krauthammer  "Donald Trump won fair and square and, as Hillary Clinton said in her concession speech, is owed an open mind and a chance to lead. It is therefore incumbent upon conservatives (like me) who have been highly critical of Trump to think through how to make a success of the coming years of Republican rule.

"It begins by recognizing Trump’s remarkable political instincts. As House Speaker Paul Ryan noted in his morning-after olive-branch news conference, Trump heard “a voice out in this country that no one else heard.” Trump spoke to and for a working class squeezed and ruined by rapid technological and economic transformation. 

"One of the principal tasks for the now-dominant GOP is to craft a governing agenda that actually alters their lives and prospects. In the end, it was this constituency of those left behind by the new globalized digital economy that delivered the presidency to Trump.

"Nonetheless, this election was not just about the social/economic divide. It was also about the ideological divide between left and right." . . . 

What does this UK paper say about the Clintons?

"Death of a dynasty that was rotten to its core: After 40 years of sex, lies and scandals, the Clintons are to leave public life beset by a crushing humiliation"

. . . "The first whiff of scandal to surround the Clintons began with the 1993 sacking of the seven employees in the White House Travel Office, soon after Bill had become President.

"These staffers were replaced by a commercial travel firm from Little Rock, Arkansas.

"Critics claimed the changes were ordered by the Clintons so that their cronies — in one case a cousin — could take over the multi-million dollar business of White House travel arrangements.

"A claim that Hillary had been instrumental in securing the firings — something she had denied — seemed to be confirmed by an internal White House memo unearthed in 1996." . . .

Commentary: The unbearable smugness of the press

therealside.com/

CBS  "The mood in the Washington press corps is bleak, and deservedly so.

"It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that, with a few exceptions, we were all tacitly or explicitly #WithHer, which has led to a certain anguish in the face of Donald Trump’s victory. More than that and more importantly, we also missed the story, after having spent months mocking the people who had a better sense of what was going on.

"This is all symptomatic of modern journalism’s great moral and intellectual failing: its unbearable smugness. Had Hillary Clinton won, there’s be a winking “we did it” feeling in the press, a sense that we were brave and called Trump a liar and saved the republic.
. . . 
"As a direct result, we get it wrong with greater frequency. Out on the road, we forget to ask the right questions. We can’t even imagine the right question. We go into assignments too certain that what we find will serve to justify our biases. The public’s estimation of the press declines even further -- fewer than one-in-three Americans trust the press, per Gallup -- which starts the cycle anew."
