How California’s primary could stop Democrats from retaking the U.S. House

LA Times  "California’s primary system could thwart Democrats and Republicans alike on June 5, shutting either party out of key races in the fall. Under the state’s top-two primary, the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes advance to the general election in November, regardless of party. Democrats fear that the high numbers of hopefuls on the primary ballot could split the vote and leave the party without candidates in high-stakes congressional races in November. Meanwhile, Republicans are worried they could be left off the ballot in the governor’s race and other statewide contests in November, giving their voters less of an incentive to turn out to vote for GOP House candidates." . . .

Democrats Skip U.S. Embassy Opening in Jerusalem 

 "Democrats' acknowledgement of the U.S. embassy opening in Jerusalem Monday was virtually non-existent. The Times of Israel reported that no Democratic members of Congress attended the ceremony.
"Former Sen. Joe Lieberman, told them he was “surprised” that “no sitting legislators from his former party were in Jerusalem for the embassy dedication.”
“ 'I hope that the Democratic members had [scheduling] conflicts and they had to be somewhere else,” he said. “I hope that they don’t see this as some kind of pro-Trump rally in Jerusalem. It’s not. Its a pro-US-Israel friendship-partnership-alliance rally. And it’s celebrating the strength of our relationship, which has been always bipartisan.' ” . . .

Downtrend  "Celebrity school shooting survivor and anti-Second Amendment activist David Hogg is struggling to stay relevant after his star turn as the snarling face of the left that lasted nearly two whole months."

"Young Hogg burst onto the scene by climbing on top of the pile of dead bodies at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that included his own classmates and was regularly featured on CNN, MSNBC and even the Bill Maher show. The zenith of Hogg’s fame and power came with an Easter weekend joint-venture with the extremist Media Matters to unleash the social media mob against corporations that advertised on Fox News host Laura Ingraham’s show."  . . .

"This time it’s pretty clear that Hogg hasn’t a care in the world for his murdered classmates and has become a full-fledged Democratic party operative because his latest shenanigans are an effort to publicly shame the grocery giant for its support of Republican Adam Putnam in the Florida governor’s race this year." . . .

Black holes and slobbering interviews of Obama probably didn't help either.

Obama and the Iranian Nuclear Threat

Ehud Barak

. . . "The President smiled, but brought the discussion back down to earth. When he again urged us to consider the American position in any decision, I replied, “Mr. President, I feel compelled to tell you frankly how I see the situation. We highly appreciate, and are grateful, that America supports Israel in so many ways. I believe we’re doing our best to support American interests in the Middle East as well. But when it comes to issues critical for the security and future of Israel, and in a way for the future of the Jewish people, we can’t afford to delegate responsibility even to our best friend and ally. When we face situations, we have to decide on the basis of our own sovereign responsibility, and act on our decisions. I would expect the United States, and you as its president, to respect that position.” He did not seem especially happy with what I’d said. But he showed no anger. Though we differed, it was clear he understood and respected our position. In any case, I believed it was important to convey to him honestly, face-to-face, where Israel stood on Iran. Or at least where I stood.

Picture Hillary making an Oval Office address, or a State of the Union speech

How Much Would You Pay To Hear Hillary Clinton Speak?  . . . "If you can't know what her actual stand is on any issue, you cannot know what she really believes in, if anything. I have no trust in anyone that cannot tell me what they truthfully believe, and I have no trust in what they will do if they are ever in a position of authority since I do not know their mind.

"She is at best, a deceiver and at worst a liar. She is the epitome of the definition of a politician. I would not want her in a position of authority because she has never outwardly stated who or what she really is. She exemplifies deception and dishonesty."

White House Leaker Identified As Trump’s Former Scheduler Caroline Wiles

Climate Change Dispatch  

Big League Politics reported:

"WASHINGTON, D.C. — The so-called “whistleblower” in the now-fading Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) flap is actually a disgruntled employee who was fired for cause — being AWOL from his EPA post without clearance from his agency supervisors, according to multiple sources in and near the Trump administration.
"The EPA media circus over the last weeks have stemmed from allegations made by former Deputy of Chief of Staff for operations, Kevin Chmielewski, a man whose behavior and background portended a short career as a presidential appointee.
The reasons for the media maelstrom seem much clearer given recent revelations about Chmielewski.
"Upon being fired, Kevin Chmielewski threatened to go public with allegations against EPA chief Scott Pruitt, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation."

After Democrat Said “F*CK THE NRA”, Tucker Carlson Humiliated Him… Bad

Let this guy take his place in the Democrat Hall of Fame alongside Harry Reid, Maxine Waters, and late night TV hosts. TD

Mad World News  "A U.S. House candidate in New Mexico put out a campaign ad saying, “F*ck the NRA.” The Democrat recently made the mistake of trying to act like a gun expert on Fox News. Watch as Tucker Carlson humiliates him… bad." . . .
. . . 

"Tucker Carlson had quite enough of this liberal idiot and his self-aggrandizing as a gun expert. “So you just said that in fifteen seconds an AR-15 can fire a hundred and fifty rounds. Is that true?” Tucker asked Davis to confirm.

"Pat Davis hadn’t yet figured out that he was about to be humiliated so he continued to spew absolute nonsense. " . . .
