"President Donald Trump must show leadership by "washing out" Anthony Scaramucci's mouth "with a bar of soap" and escorting him "personally off the White House grounds," Family Leader CEO Bob Vander Plaats said.

" 'I suggest you lead by first washing out Mr. Scaramucci’s mouth with a bar of soap," the Iowa evangelical leader said Friday on the organization's website. "After a thorough rinsing, strip his credentials and escort him personally off the White House grounds.

" 'President Trump must take quick and decisive action to preserve the legacy of our great republic," he said.

"Vander Plaats' column followed a tweet he posted Friday calling for Scaramucci's firing after he slammed outgoing White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and senior strategist Steve Bannon in a profane tirade with The New Yorker:

Gorka defends Trump’s transgender ban: Military ‘there to kill people and blow stuff up’

Joe Newby  "During a recent appearance on BBC Radio 4, White House aide Dr. Sebastian Gorka defended President Trup’s transgender ban in the military, saying that while the administration wants transgendered people to live happy lives, the military is there to perform a specific task and not to be a platform for social engineering.

“ 'The military is not a microcosm of civilian society,” he said. “They are not there to reflect America. They are there to kill people and blow stuff up. They are not there to be socially engineered. We want people who are transgender to live happy lives, but we want unit cohesion and we want combat effectiveness.”

"Here’s audio of his comments as posted by the BBC Radio 4’s Twitter account:"
. . . 

"A post at the Washington Examiner further noted:

The U.S. military has one goal: Protect and defend. Or as Article 1 section 8 of the Constitution reads, “to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.”

The goal of the military is not a social experiment; it’s not even to see who is the most patriotic. (I’m a patriot but I couldn’t physically do what’s required of many of our service people.) Its job is not to see if men and women can both do the same amount of push-ups, or if a woman can hold up in a unit of mostly men without interrupting the männerbund, or if a woman who identifies as a man can drag a 170-pound male away from heavy gun fire.

Its job is not to pay for people to have elective surgeries so they feel more like a woman or a man.

While trans activists, including Caitlyn Jenner, are understandably upset about the ban, many members of the military who have seen active combat both support transgenders and agree with Trump’s decision, not because they are mean, old-fashioned bigots but because they view the active recognition of transgenders in the military as more of a petri dish of social experiments, wrapped in a progressive agenda.

Despicable: WaPo tracks down, doxxes Pickle, a nine-year-old Trump supporter

Joe Newby  "As part of the apparent effort to foment hate and violence against those who support President Trump, the Washington Post actually tracked down and identified a nine-year-old supporter of the president whose letter to the White House was read by Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Naturally, the Trump-hating propagandists at the Post didn’t believe that such a fan of the president could exist — naturally, because ALL liberals hate Trump, therefore, in their alleged “mind,” everyone MUST hate Trump except for Nazis and bigots.

Photo added.

But it turns out the youngster, nicknamed “Pickle,” exists.  So naturally, the Post decided to identify him.

The Post hid their article behind a paywall, but Mediaite reported:

Thanks to some intrepid reporting by Monica Hesse of the Washington Post, we can now say that Pickle, the human, is not a figment of anyone’s imagination.
"He’s a real boy. . . .

More here.
Intrepid? Please.  Keep in mind this is the same Democrat-media complex that sees Russians behind every blade of grass, and thinks you’re a neo-Nazi if you have a short haircut.  They have yet to find any proof of their Trump-Russia conspiracy theory, but hey, they can find a nine-year-old boy who loves the president.

"According to Mediaite, the letter shocked reporters so much they actually became “Pickle-truthers” and refused to believe he exists." . . .

Watch Classless McCain Betray the Republican Party, Whoop It Up with Democrats

Independent Sentinel  "The dramatic moments before and after he betrayed the Republicans and his country

“ 'Watch the show,” the Arizona senator told the media when he first entered the senate chamber.

"When he arrived, he held a brief conversation with Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer ( D-N.Y.), an exchange that left Schumer smiling, the Washington Post reported.

"Schumer knew what was about to happen.

“ 'I knew it when he walked on the floor,” Schumer later recounted, explaining that McCain had already called to share his plans.

"But few, if any, of his Republican colleagues knew what was going to happen, WaPo reported." . . .

"Watch the video as the self-important John McCain makes a dramatic entrance into the Senate chamber to vote against the “skinny bill”. He walked to the center of the room to grandstand, paused, held out his hand dramatically to get attention, and gave the thumbs down like a pompous fool. Senator Bernie Sanders appeared to know what was about to happen."

Kelly’s first task: Stabilize the West Wing

Politico
"Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly has griped privately for months about the disarray at the White House. Now he’s tasked with bringing order to the chaos. 7/29/2017 Kelly’s first task: Stabilize the West Wing 

"When he officially becomes chief of staff on Monday, Kelly, a no-nonsense retired Marine Corps general, will be thrust into the center of the West Wing soap opera, where President Donald Trump’s policy agenda regularly gets preempted by feuding advisers and headline-grabbing scandals.

"It remains to be seen whether Kelly can succeed where Reince Priebus failed — by figuring out a way to rein in an unpredictable president and put a lid on the steady stream of drama at the White House.

"Privately, White House aides and others close to the administration acknowledged it won’t be easy. Even without Priebus, the West Wing remains fractured, with advisers competing for influence over the president.

“ 'I think this is the best and last shot,” said one person close to Kelly. “This is it.”

Best visual commentary ever on transgenders in the military?

Bookworm Room   "It’s quite possible that this is the best poster yet made to comment on the whole transgenders in the military debacle — a debacle predicated on a lie."

"And if you want the proper commentary to go with that poster, I highly recommend Brendan O’Neill’s brutal honestyabout the Orwellian thinking that is being pushed on ordinary people. His starting point is the Tory proposal that people can edit their birth certificates at will to state their preferred gender (of the moment):

It’s madness. And most people know it’s madness. Ask any normal, decent member of the public if Dave, 32, born a boy, still in possession of a penis, and a five o’clock shadow on a rough weekend, is a man or a woman, and I bet you they will say: ‘Man.’ Not because they are prejudiced or ‘transphobic’ – the latest phobia slur designed to pathologise dissent – but because they understand reality. And truth. And biology and experience. They know that in order to be a woman, you first have to have been a girl. 

But the true person in charge of the White House was first lady Michelle Obama.

The Maverick shoots down any chance of Obamacare repeal

Legal Insurrection "Overnight the Senate failed to pass a so-called “skinny” repeal of Obamacare, when three Republican Senators (Collins, Murkowski and McCain) voted against the measure.

"Whether the “skinny” repeal was an actual repeal was doubtful. As unveiled late last night, it removed the mandate, the medical device tax, and defunded Planned Parenthood, but it was something of a charade. Several Senators voted for it only after Paul Ryan gave some assurance that the Senate bill could be subject to a conference with the House, and would not be passed by the House as is.

"But passing the “skinny” repeal kept hope alive that there might emerge some meaningful form of Obamacare repeal. The defeat of the bill killed any form of Obamacare repeal for the foreseeable future.

"Collins and Murkowski always were expected to vote No, but McCain was the surprise. Even though Murkowski and McCain* had voted in 2015 for full, clean repeal of Obamacare, they didn’t have the guts to put their votes where their mouths had been just a couple of years ago." . . .

GOP flip-floppers were in favor of repeal before they were against it  . . . "Based on a tweet from political operative Jack Posobiec, "[m]ultiple Hill staffers confirm last night McCain was heard laughing w Dems and remarked, 'Lets see Donald make america great again now'."  Mission accomplished.  Revenge is best served cold, and here is one of Trump's signature campaign issues, served ice cold on the morgue slab, ready for the incinerator.

"Never mind what McCain promised his constituents.  He is now the darling of the left and the NeverTrumps.  He will be invited on all the Sunday talk shows, basking in his "maverick" glow. 

"If McCain is "flip," then Murkowski is "flop."  In 2015, she was also in favor of repealing Obamacare, telling Alaskans, "I will support the bill that repeals the ACA and wipes out its harmful impacts."  Not so this week." . . .

You picked a fine time to leave us, McCain   . . . We wish Senator McCain well.  He faces serious health challenges, but a lot of us won't forget what he did this time."

WATCH: Here's all the GOP Senators who voted against repealing Obamacare... Saying they'd repeal Obamacare. #FlashbackFriday @DailyCaller

11:46 AM - 28 Jul 2017

Murkowski Refuses To Explain Why She Campaigned On Obamacare Repeal But Voted Against It  "Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski refused to explain why she voted against the repeal of the Affordable Care Act when she previously supported similar proposals in her campaigns. 

"Following the failed “skinny repeal late Thursday night, Murkowski, one of the three Republican senators who voted against it, told The Daily Caller she was not ready to respond to why she campaigned on repealing Obamacare in her last election but reversed her position on the matter recently.

“ 'I am really very tired and so you’re asking for a really thoughtful response and I actually appreciate your question but rather than respond to each and individual request with all of these cameras around me, I’m gonna take a pass,” she said." . . .

Who Paid for the ‘Trump Dossier’? Democrats Don’t Want You To Find Out, A Scandal Of Its Own

Weasel Zippers

"Finally, someone in MSM asking the right questions and doing some real journalism.

"Via WSJ:

It has been 10 days since Democrats received the glorious news that Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley would require Donald Trump Jr. and Paul Manafort to explain their meeting with Russian operators at Trump Tower last year. The left was salivating at the prospect of watching two Trump insiders being grilled about Russian “collusion” under the klieg lights.

Yet Democrats now have meekly and noiselessly retreated, agreeing to let both men speak to the committee in private. Why would they so suddenly be willing to let go of this moment of political opportunity?

Fusion GPS. That’s the oppo-research outfit behind the infamous and discredited “Trump dossier,” ginned up by a former British spook. Fusion co-founder Glenn Simpson also was supposed to testify at the Grassley hearing, where he might have been asked in public to reveal who hired him to put together the hit job on Mr. Trump, which was based largely on anonymous Russian sources. Turns out Democrats are willing to give up just about anything—including their Manafort moment—to protect Mr. Simpson from having to answer that question.

What if, all this time, Washington and the media have had the Russia collusion story backward? What if it wasn’t the Trump campaign playing footsie with the Vladimir Putin regime, but Democrats? The more we learn about Fusion, the more this seems a possibility.

CHELSEA MANNING ATTACKS MILITARY FOR WANTING TO SPEND MONEY ON PLANES INSTEAD OF TRANS SURGERIES

Milo  Whom we might say is an authority on this subject.

"Former U.S. Army soldier Chelsea Manning has lashed out at the military, attacking their willingness to spend money on silly things like planes in the wake of President Donald Trump’s announcement that transgender people will not be allowed to serve in the military.

"Taking to Twitter this morning, Manning – who is a trans woman – cried, “so, biggest baddest most $$ military on earth cries about a few trans people but funds the F-35? Sounds like cowardice.”

Nunes: Obama political aides made hundreds of unmasking requests

Legal Insurrection

Rick Moran  . . . "This sort of thing used to be illegal until Obama relaxed privacy rules in 2011.  So while it's not technically illegal (Nunes and others think it should be), it is a clear abuse of the privilege.  It may even be an abuse of power if the White House used the unmasking to leak the names of Trump officials to the press for political purposes.

"The press is totally uninterested in this story, even though many of us would like to know what the hell the Obama administration was doing with all this information.  Is it not important that the then-president of the United States was using intelligence agencies to do his political dirty work?  I guess if it doesn't lead with Trump and Russia, it's non-news.

"It's unnerving to think your identity could be compromised even if the NSA did not have a warrant to spy on you.  But the Obama administration was far more concerned about which Republican was meeting with foreign leaders or businessmen and what they discussed than any constitutional right to privacy.
