Why "dig up dirt on Hillary" when we have always known it and no leftist cares? They STILL want her as president!

Simply stated, the charge that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians to obtain dirt about Hillary is ridiculous and falls apart when one honestly examines Hillary’s record.  Hillary had to pay Steele to make up dirt on President Trump. But the dirt on Hillary is there for anyone who cares to know.

Weasel Zippers

From as far back as 2015 it got like this: Megyn Kelly Is Sick and Tired of the Media’s Endless Trump Coverage: Remember Terrorism?!

And 2016: Tired of media's Trump bashing

And on to today, but meanwhile: Dirt on Hillary  . . . "The logical questions are what dirt could the Russians possibly provide that we do not already know about Hillary, and how could it be worse than the truth about Hillary?

" 'Think about it: dirt on Hillary. Why would we need Russians, or anyone else, to inform us about dirt on Hillary?

"All you have to do is honestly examine Hillary and Bill’s shenanigans since their days in Arkansas. This does take some time and attention given the complex, corrupt history of Hillary and Bill. But it is essentially lying, greed, and abuse of power.

"We already know the dirt about Hillary:  Whitewater, missing billing records, selling pardons, selling uranium to the Russians, stealing White House silverware, FBI files on Republicans, covering up Bubba's rape and sexual harassments, the email scandal, destroying emails under subpoena, Travelgate, attacking the women harassed by Bill, and more. I am sure I missed some.

"The problem is not getting dirt on Hillary. We have the dirt on Hillary. There is so much dirt it is mindboggling for anyone who cares, which excludes Democrats and the Media.

"But none of the real dirt about Hillary mattered to the Dems that nominated Hillary and the Media that promoted her campaign. " . . .

Victor Davis Hanson speculates: If Only Hillary Had Won . . .

"Leakers and lawbreakers rewarded with Clinton-administration jobs — and the American public none the wiser about deep-state corruption. 

"There are lots of possible counterfactuals to think about had Hillary Clinton won the presidency as all the experts had predicted.

"The U.S. embassy would have stayed in Tel Aviv. “Strategic patience” would likely still govern the North Korea dilemma. Fracking would be curtailed. The — rather than “our” — miners really would be put out of work. Coal certainly would not have been “beautiful.” The economy probably would be slogging along at below 2 percent GDP growth.

. . . "The coffers of the Clinton Foundation certainly would be expanding exponentially. Robert Mueller might have been brought back in now and then for his sober and judicious work in finding no wrongdoing in the Uranium One deal."

Stories about Obamites and Cambridge professor outed as FBI informant inside Trump campaign

NY Post  "A Cambridge professor with deep ties to American and British intelligence has been outed as an agent who snooped on the Trump presidential campaign for the FBI.

Halper

"Multiple media outlets have named Stefan Halper, 73, as the secret informant who met with Trump campaign advisers Carter Page and George Papadopoulos starting in the summer of 2016. The American-born academic previously served in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations.. . .. 

If the FBI or DOJ was infiltrating a campaign for the benefit of another campaign, that is a really big deal,” President Trump tweeted Saturday, calling for the FBI to release additional documents to Congress.

"The Halper revelation also shows the Obama administration’s FBI began prying
into the opposing party’s presidential nominee earlier than it previously admitted." . . .
Clarice Feldman: H.A.L.P.E.R. Spells Game Up for Obama's Spies
"Last week I reported that Internet sleuths had winkled out the name of the spy/agent provocateur that Obama's intelligence officers had used on the Trump campaign. " . . .
. . . "We now have an imaginary crime – collusion – with imaginary evidence and even imaginary defendants. What is not imaginary is the selfish effort to destroy our polity by several handfuls of men and women who abused their positions of trust for intended partisan gain that failed. Give them the hook already."

Thomas Lifson: MSM silence on Stefan Halper’s name ends  "The conspiracy to use the vast powers of the US intelligence community spy on the Trump campaign and hobble his presidency with fabricated allegations of collusion with Russia is unraveling at an accelerating pace. The latest evidence of the slow motion collapse of the cabal is that the name of Stefan Halper, which has been known to readers of American Thinker for quite some time now (and which was first revealed by Chuck Ross of the Daily Caller almost two months ago), suddenly is being published and broadcast by members of the mainstream media. Fox News, The UK Daily Mail, Newsweek, The New York Post, andMother Jones all are defying the warnings of intelligence agencies, politicians like Senator Mark Warner (see Clarice Feldman’s demolition of his CYA attempt today), and left wing professors that revealing his name could be a crime." . . .
. . . "It is only a matter of time before Halper is subpoenaed to appear before a congressional committee. And possibly also a grand jury under the direction of the US Attorney in Arkansas, John Huber, who is investigating the FISA warrantto spy on the Trump campaign and other potential abuses."

Portland trampoline park shutting down, owner blames millennials, labor laws

Oregon Live

"The owner of a pair of trampoline parks is shutting them down, citing Portland's minimum wage increases and the state's mandate to provide part-time employees with sick leave. Millennials also share part of the blame, he said.

"G6 Airpark owner Wesley Dameron, 38, in a note to customers drafted earlier this month that was posted to Reddit Wednesday, said he's shutting down his parks in Southeast Portland and Vancouver. In addition to minimum wage laws and sick leave mandates, Dameron also blamed a "ridiculously litigious society" as a reason for shuttering the parks." . . .

"When parents sign a waiver and clearly understand that their kid is jumping on a trampoline, but hold our facility responsible when their child breaks a leg, it's a blow to our organization," he wrote. "It's a massive time sink for me personally, it's stressful, my wife stresses out, and it's expensive."

. . . 

"Dameron couldn't be reached for comment. But the G6 Airpark owner in his note to customers also expressed incredulity at having to provide paid sick leave to "part-time high school students with no experience and no skill set.' " . . .

DHS Secretary: Democrats Owe Trump An Apology For Peddling Lies About His Remarks On Immigrants

americanthinker/cartoons/

Matt Vespa  "Katie wrote about this yesterday. President Trump had a roundtable discussion with those fighting sanctuary city policies that have become a protective shield for illegals to hide behind to avoid deportation. He called MS-13 "animals," but the liberal media decided to once again peddle fake news, erroneously claiming the president was saying this about all illegal aliens. Pavlich had the transcript:

SHERIFF MIMS:  Thank you. There could be an MS-13 member I know about -- if they don’t reach a certain threshold, I cannot tell ICE about it.

THE PRESIDENT:  We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in -- and we're stopping a lot of them -- but we're taking people out of the country.  You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are.  These aren’t people.  These are animals.  And we're taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate that's never happened before. 

. . .

. . . "Now, Department of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen is asking Democrats who piled on the fake news train yesterday to hop off and apologize to President Trump. The DHS secretary added that she was “horrified” at how the record was being distorted (via Free Beacon):

Manners, Morals, and Political Correctness

The challenge before us is to carefully distill our morals from our manners.  Political correctness stifles open inquiry by choosing sentiment over reason as the hallmark of acceptable behavior.  In other words, hurting someone's feelings is a greater sin than perpetuating a falsehood.  Lies, however, constitute the grammar of tyranny.  Truth, as awkward as it may be, remains the bulwark against the mental slavery that precedes the kind of political tyranny the world knows so well.

Tiger Droppings

Saul Goldman   "Are manners and morals essentially the same?  Are manners merely "small morals," as Thomas Hobbes defines them?  Or is there a fundamental distinction?

"Moral philosophy is about our understanding of virtue or righteousness.  Manners, on the other hand, focus upon public or political behavior.  We might draw the distinction between manners and morals by stating that manners are instrumental behaviors while morals are existential.  One might differentiate them by pointing out that manners are social behaviors subject to place and time.  Manners govern actions.  Morals, on the other hand, define how we "ought" to interact.

"Since what we do is connected to why we should do it, manners and morals were investigated by both social scientists and philosophers.  Aristotle described manners as "practical wisdom" as opposed to philosophical wisdom.  Practical or political wisdom is devoted to man's self-interest or what is good for the individual.  But what is good for the individual must be evaluated against what is good in general.  Practical wisdom is about how a man may obtain something that is good for him.  Philosophical wisdom seeks to understand what is good.

"Much of our moral awareness derives from our perceptions of what feels good.  That is why David Hume argues that we determine virtue or vice by how we feel rather than what we think." . . .

Dishonest Dems, media ignore Trump’s triumphs

Boston Herald

Anyone expecting President Trump supporters to soften up on their allegiance to the president heading into the November midterm elections is sadly mistaken.
This past week, Democrats, the FBI and the liberal elite media gave Team Trump strong reasons to remain solidly behind the Republican commander in chief and his “drain the swamp” cause.
. . . 

"So what’s been the media focus of the week?

"President Trump referred to members of the notoriously violent MS-13 street gang as “animals.” He has used the same MS-13 description many times before, so the press was well aware of it. Still, it didn’t stop beat writers from The New York Times, Washington Post and Associated Press, plus TV network and cable yakkers, from falsely reporting Trump’s remarks.

"They lumped in all illegal immigrants as “animals” with MS-13 kidnappers, rapists (especially child rapists) and murderers, and attributed it to the president." . . .

An increasingly powerful left wing is causing the party to abandon the Jewish state.

But a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo from 13 Senate Democrats suggests the party may be at a tipping point.

Jonathan S. Tobin at National Review

"Over the past half-century, Republicans and Democrats have exchanged identities on Middle East issues. Republicans are now the lockstep pro-Israel party, and the Democrats are deeply divided about their attitudes toward the Jewish state. And as polling from both the Pew Research Center and Gallup indicated earlier this year, the split between the two major parties on Israel is growing.
"The previous administration accelerated these trends. President Barack Obama’s eight years were dedicated to creating what he called more “daylight” between the U.S. and Israel, and support for the Iran nuclear deal became a litmus test of Democratic-party loyalty. President Donald Trump has worked to overturn Obama’s Middle East policies, putting the remaining pro-Israel Democrats in a difficult political situation. Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, as well as his abandonment of the Iran deal, have been cheered by the Netanyahu government but panned by most Democrats, including some who in the past have advocated both of those positions.
"But reactions to the latest round of violence in the Middle East shows that the Democrats’ drift may be speeding up still more, with the party veering toward anti-Israel hostility." . . .
The moral compass of Democrats manifests itself:

• They support Muslims who murder shoppers in the streets
• Not one Democrat showed up at the US Embassy opening in Jerusalem
• California Democrat Kamala Harris openly disrespects those more capable than she.
• Democrats wanting to impeach President Trump
• Democrats would run America the way they run California, right?
• Waters promises 'reparations' if Dems take over in 2020
  
• The leftist Democrats (which is all of them; there are no moderate Democrats) in Congress . . .
• Democrats honor dictators over American conservatives

• To Gain Voters, Democrats Favor Immigration Anarchy ...

Above is just a small sample of the cancer in the American electorate 

And of course these next are solid reasons the leftists all have to vote Democrat:   Why I vote Democrat 

School Shooter Found Carrying Symbol Linked to Radical Trump Haters

"It appears that wearing the trench coat with its pro-socialist propaganda was common for the alleged shooter."

Western Journal  . . . "That suspected criminal has now been taken into custody and revealed as a 17-year-old student. As journalists poured over the alleged shooter’s social media accounts, they found something chilling.

"It appears that the shooter proudly wore a piece of pro-Communist propaganda on his clothing as he carried out the attack.

"Photos and descriptions from the accused criminal’s Facebook page show an unmistakable Soviet “hammer and sickle” pin placed prominently on the lapel of his jacket — the same jacket that witnesses said he wore during the rampage." . . .

. . . "The star pin appeared to be identical or similar to items available from MarxistBooks.com and other pro-socialist propaganda outlets.

"More recently, the symbol has become the de facto icon of radical anti-Trump protesters. There are numerous examples of liberal protesters waving the hammer and sickle flag or using the iconography on banners protesting the president and conservatism" . . .

Antifa and their colors:

Now we see the American Left as they truly are

The final irony here is that liberals tend to embrace godless evolution and generally believe that people are nothing but animals.  Yet as the brilliant G.K. Chesterton put it, "Man is an exception."  He "is always something worse or something better than an animal[.]"  So true.  And I think we know which free will-abusing people are keeping MS-13 gangsters company in the worse category.  Selwyn Duke

Dark Angel

Selwyn Duke: "If liberals were animals, it would be an improvement"  "Ever since President Trump characterized MS-13 gang members as "animals," Democrats have been playing dumb (when they haven't actually been dumb) for political gain.  What started with some fake news outlets purposely misrepresenting Trump's remarks and others sloppily parroting the deception has degenerated into the comical: leftists trying to save face and gain votes by cynically claiming they're offended that anyone would do violence to the principle of the dignity of all human persons.  Why, Nancy Pelosi, a pooh-bah of prenatal infanticide posing as a latter-day St. Thomas Aquinas, actually lectured us about how every person has a "divine spark.' " . . .

A grim spectacle: The left fully revealed  "Over the eight years of the Obama administration, the Democratic Party moved left, then more left, then hard, radical, Alinskyite left.  Terrible damage was done to the country as a result.  Obamacare virtually destroyed our once finest health care system.  The Iran deal was a cash cow for the mullahs; the West got nothing but the promise that Iran would become a nuclear power.  Obama thrived on racial strife, and so he exacerbated it day after day, any way he could.  He supported Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, and Antifa.  He likely saw to it that tens of thousands of dollars were illegally funneled to those groups along with the millions sent their way by George Soros.  Obama enforced few if any immigration laws because the left needs that perennial immigrant underclass to gain power. " . . .

Notice the divinity here?

Would Nancy Pelosi say there is a spark of divinity in President Trump?

The Federalist asks, Do Liberals Hate Trump More Than MS-13?

. . . "When these outlets and journos were called out for their extremely misleading reporting, many of them chose to defend MS-13 rather than walk back their criticism of Trump. This is a gang with the motto, “kill, rape, control.”  

"Let’s take a stroll down the walk of shame, shall we?" . . .

Read the comments from these opinion shapers and teachers of our children.

. . . "It’s one thing to vehemently oppose this president, but to be brainwashed by your own hatred for Trump that you’re purposefully manipulating his remarks about MS-13 so that it appears that he was referring to all immigrants is truly appalling and absolutely shameful."

MS-13; the corrupt media throws this nation under the bus

Fake News story about Trump calling all immigrants “animals” is why people hate the media

"The MSM wonders why the majority of America cannot stand them. It’s probably because of the way they twist and edit President Donald Trump’s words.

"The New York Times, The Washington Post, and others all claimed that Trump called “some unauthorized immigrants” animals during a rant*. No. He referred to members of the dangerous MS-13 gang as animals.

"What Trump Actually Said.  CNN’s Jake Tapper posted the full context of Trump’s quotes:" . . .

*"Rant"; that's the NY Times choice of word.

The search for blame in Texas...once more

Sickle, hammer, and Iron Cross strike in Texas  . . . "The murderer of schoolchildren in Texas understood that the Soviet sickle and hammer, on the one hand, and the Nazi Iron Cross, on the other hand, are symbols belonging to the same ideological direction.  We do not yet know how strong the ideological convictions of this murderer are.  But we know one thing: America does not want to endure the massacres of children anymore – as we do not want to see another gun-free zone filled with blood.

"Massacres in Israeli schools are non-existent nowadays, just like gun-free zones.  American schoolchildren deserve the same protection as their Israeli counterparts.  Being a small country, Israel armed whom it could to protect their children: their teachers.  In America, it makes no sense to arm the teachers for a variety of reasons.  We should allow our teachers to arm themselves, but it should not be a government policy.
"Paradoxically, in order not to turn our country into a police state, we need police officers in every school." . . .

Note to CNN and ladies of "The View": Do not - repeat not - claim this is a Christian symbol:

I can just picture it now. CNN's Don Lemon, are you listening?  TD 

The inevitable blaming of the culture instead of the shooter.

. . . As I write this, after the politicians in Texas had their say, the tired liturgy began anew.
You know how this goes. You’ve seen it before: anger, tribal chant and politics, those who want armed security at schools, those who say there are too many guns in America already.
We slide into our default positions. We think by hashtag.
The uglier our thoughts, the harsher they are, the better. People let their anger roll off their thumbs and onto the Twitter accounts. You can watch the number of your Twitter followers grow when you call people like me a “gun fetishist.” . . .
