Some things to look for if the Democrats win back the House

Democrats taunt TEA Partiers at the passing of Obamacare

National Review: What to Expect if Democrats Win the House  "More big spending, pushback on deregulation, heavy investigation of administration officials, but no big-ticket items from the Left’s agenda"

. . . "First, despite the hopes or fears of both sides, we can forget about the big-ticket items on the Democratic left. We are not going to see single-payer health care, guaranteed jobs for everyone, or free college. While the loonier elements of the Democratic party have been campaigning on the idea of “Make Venezuela Great Again,” most of the party is united on little more than opposition to President Trump. " . . .
. . . "The one thing that a Democratic Congress can absolutely do is . . . make Donald Trump’s life miserable. Impeachment is not going to happen, but a Democratic House would have investigatory and subpoena power. Elijah Cummings would likely become chairman of the Oversight Committee, Adam Schiff would take over at Intelligence, and Jerry Nadler at Judiciary. Consider it a full employment opportunity for White House lawyers. From Russian collusion to emoluments to the myriad scandals of the Trump cabinet, administration officials can expect to spend so much time testifying before Congress that they might as well move cots into the halls of the Capitol." . . . 

Choice of Democrat voters

House Democrats poised to take the gavel on key committees should a blue wave materialize in November are already laying out their top priorities for 2019.
Two of their top priorities? Global warming and going after Department of the Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. (RELATED: Scientists Throw Cold Water On Claims Linking Hurricane Florence To Global Warming)

The Trump/conservative agenda will be dead if the Democrats regain the House in November.  Some to consider: 

Financial Services: Republican Jeb Hensarling (TX) replaced by Maxine Waters of California; Judiciary, Republican Bob Goodlatte (VA) replaced by Democrat Jerry Nadler (NY); Oversight and Government Reform: Republican Trey Gowdy (SC) replaced by Democrat Elijah Cummings (MD)

That'll work...turn our finances over to Maxine Waters. What could go wrong?

Aug 27: Tyler Durden at Zero Hedge: With Democrats Set To Win The House, This Is What Happens Next

. . . We expect that a fiscal policy in late 2019 and 2020 would be slightly more expansionary under continued Republican control than under a divided Congress, mainly due to tax policy. If Republicans hold on to their majorities in the House and Senate, they would likely attempt to enact a second round of tax cut legislation. This would be possible through the reconciliation process, which allows the majority to pass fiscal legislation in the Senate with only 51 votes, rather than the customary 60 votes. In this scenario, we would expect only a modest additional fiscal boost, as there is likely to be limited support for substantial additional tax cuts in light of the growing deficit. By contrast, under a Democratic majority, we would simply expect little activity on the tax front, as congressional Democrats are unlikely to support additional tax cuts while congressional Republicans and the White House would be unlikely to support any reversal of the prior tax cuts. Under either scenario, the boost to growth from fiscal policy is likely to mostly fade by 2020 from the roughly 1pp we estimate in 2H 2018 . . .

If the Democrats take back the House and Senate in 2018, can they impeach Trump?

. . . "So in short, the only way Democrats can impeach Trump in either of these two scenarios:Scenario A - They win a simple majority of the House of Representatives and they control 67 seats in the US Senate, orScenario B - Trump does something so egregious and heinous that some Republicans in the Senate are willing to crossover and vote “Guilty”, enough to make-up the 67 votes neededOtherwise, you are left in the same situation Clinton was in in 1998: Not Guilty" . . .

Here’s What May Happen to Your Taxes If Democrats Win the House

Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves, Washington Redskins and Elizabeth Warren. Oh! And Rachel Dolezal!

Jeff Dawald‎ at Expose Liberals & Media Bias

 Warren's approach seems to track more closely to another older white woman also lacking in American Indian DNA, but not chutzpah, by the name of Hillary.  Maybe Warren ought to check for Ashkenazi DNA.  Jonathan F. Keiler

Cherokee nation rains on Elizabeth Warren's parade  "Elizabeth Warren was doing a victory dance about her DNA test showing "strong evidence" she may have 1/1,024 or 0.09 percent Native American lineage.  In hot pursuit, she called on President Trump to "pay up" with his $1 million offer to the charity of her choice for taking the DNA test he said he would toss to her at a future presidential debate, earlier.  As the network press admiringly gushed about the whole "gotcha," she was convinced she had him cornered.

"Well, sorry – that debate hasn't happened yet, and now it's doubtful that it ever will, because Warren is hearing from the leaders of the Cherokee nation.

"Here is their astonishing rebuke to her for what they rightly view as a shabby little publicity stunt at their expense:" . . .

Timothy Bishop

Warren's Clintonian Smoke Signals "For folks on the right, Elizabeth Warren's proffered "proof" of American Indian ethnicity is both laughable and puzzling.  Her proof is nothing of the kind, and she's seemingly reopened herself to merciless mockery by conservatives.  On Monday, Tucker Carlson came up with at least a half-dozen silly pseudo-titles for Warren, from the well known fauxcahontas to leader of the #MeSioux movement.  But Warren is playing a different game, one to the Democrat base, and using the time-tested Clinton playbook to do it.  Whether it still works remains to be seen. 

"The best Warren's hired expert could do was estimate that she had a single American Indian ancestor six to ten generations back.  This is not very good, and she'd be foolish to crow about it.  Logically, this means that Trump and her critics were right, and she's a fraud.  Warren is about 1.5% American Indian, tops, as are most typical white people in this country.  At worst (as she sees it), she's way whiter, well into Aryan Sisterhood territory.

"Of course, logic plays no role on the left, and Warren knows it. " . . .

Melanie Morgan

Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said on Tuesday that he is taking a DNA test to prove that he is more Native American than Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Native American Lawmaker to Elizabeth Warren: It’s Disgusting to Me and Native Americans “Apologize to All of Us” "The Boston Globe later issued a correction to their initial report — The DNA test revealed that Elizabeth Warren is not 1/512 Native American, she’s 1/1,024. That’s 0.0009765625. 

"Warren actually has less Indian in her bloodline than most Caucasian Americans." . . .

Legal Insurrection: Why won’t Elizabeth Warren apologize to Native Americans?
. . . “The Boston Globe dating back to 2012 has essentially served as Elizabeth Warren’s press office. They did this back in 2012. What she does, she gives them exclusive to family members, exclusive access to documents, and they run with her story line. And they did it back in 2012, and they’ve done it multiple times in the last 3-4 months as she’s getting ready to run… They simply took off the shelf a report she commissioned, she obtained, which even on its face is almost laughable, that she might be 1/1000th Native American based on a DNA database which doesn’t even include Native Americans in it." . . . It’s as if Trump set a trap, and Warren walked right into it.

Tony Branco

Ben Shapiro at National Review: Warren Is a Fraud  . . . "Whatever credibility Warren had on the issue was shattered this week — by Warren herself. Irked at President Trump’s irreverence regarding her purported bloodline, Warren released the results of a DNA study done by Professor Carlos Bustamante of Stanford University. Those results showed that a Native American ancestor may have existed in Warren’s family tree “in the range of 6–10 generations ago.” This would make Warren somewhere between 1/64th Native American and 1/1024th Native American.
"It’s quite hilarious — and remarkably tone deaf — that Warren thought the study would make her problems go away rather than exacerbate them. But she was counting on a little help from her friends in the media. " . . .

Democrats destroy what you stand for, what you care about

Michael James

Vote these egocentric and small-minded Democratic monsters out on November 6 – because they are so perfectly willing to destroy what you and I stand for, what you and I care about.

1856: pro-slavery Democrat canes anti-slavery Republican in Congress

"If Hillary Clinton could think, she would possibly notice the inbred self-mockery of her own deplorable statements.  You probably read her latest shot at the Republican Party; quoth the craven, "you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about."

"Fifty years ago, a Democratic president created the modern welfare state.  Lyndon B. Johnson publicly promised to end poverty and supposedly swore privately that "I'll have those n------ voting Democratic for a hundred years." 

"I believe in true family values, and my Republican Party believes in true family values, but long ago the Democratic Party destroyed what we stand for, what we care about.  Democrats tested monetary alchemy on black families and tore those families to shreds.  If you teach in a school of predominantly black students, seven out of ten of those children live in fatherless homes.  Hillary, your political party maliciously destroyed the family, something our party stands for, something we care about.

"Forty years ago, the democratic liberals among us decided that coed dorms were a brilliant solution to some problem that didn't exist.  Republicans believed that college studies were too important to be mixed with late teenage hormones in close proximity.  Democrats got their way, and the result has been young men denied equal protection from false rape accusation and immature girls wearing mattresses to lectures.  Republicans cared about and wanted to protect their sons and daughters from situations that could become sexually overwhelming; Republicans cared enough to desire a gradual progression into adult responsibilities and choices.  The Democrats didn't give a hoot about what we stood for, what we cared about." . . .

Left Turns on Hillary After ‘Tone-Deaf’ Comments on Lewinsky

This can happen when your vocation is to do no more than talk, talk, talk. TD

Legal Insurrection

Feminist support for Hillary is “feminism for entitled, privileged woman; other kinds of women were dispensable.”

"I may be in the minority, but I don’t want failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to shut up because the more she talks, the more people shed her.

"Hillary may have put the final nail in her coffin on Sunday when she said her husband’s affair with Monica Lewinsky was not an abuse of power or a reason to resign.

"Those comments shocked many, but now the left has turned on her. Publications like Think Progress, The Guardian, and Vanity Fair published scathing articles taking Hillary to town over her comments.

"Professor Jacobson wrote about Hillary’s comments, which she made during an interview with CBS:

Hillary Clinton says that her husband was right not to resign from the presidency in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, she told CBS’ “Sunday Morning.” As first lady, she stood by his side as President Bill Clinton was impeached after lying about his affair with Lewinsky, a White House intern.

The former secretary of state said she disagrees with those who now say he should have stepped down.

“In retrospect, do you think Bill should’ve resigned in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky scandal?” correspondent Tony Dokoupil asked.

“Absolutely not,” Clinton said.

“It wasn’t an abuse of power?”

“No. No.”

"Let’s not forget that four other women [have] accused Bill of sexual assault while Juanita Broaddrick has accused him of raping her.

"ThinkProgress described Hillary’s comments as “tone deaf in any moment, but they feel particularly inappropriate in this one, with the #MeToo movement raging.”

"The article also mentioned the other instances that put Hillary at odds with the #MeToo movement like when she protected adviser Burns Strider who faced sexual harassment accusations during the 2008 campaign.

"Then there’s David Axelrod:" . . .

The Origins of Progressive Agony

Victor Davis Hanson
In the wake of Obama, the Democratic party was a shipwreck, to be saved only by Hillary and the Supreme Court . . .

Protesters gather in front of the doors of the Supreme Court as Brett Kavanaugh is sworn in, October 6, 2018.

"What has transformed the Democratic party into an anguished progressive movement that incorporates the tactics of the street, embraces maenadism, reverts to Sixties carnival barking, and is radicalized by a new young socialist movement? Even party chairman Tom Perez concedes that there are “no moderate Democrats left,” and lately the rantings of Cory Booker, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez confirm that diagnosis. 

"Obama, the Fallen God 

"Paradoxically, Barack Obama won the presidency in 2008 and 2012 and yet helped to erode the old Democratic party in the process. He ended up in opulent retirement while ceding state legislatures, governorships, the House, the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court to conservative Republicans. 

"Obama had promised leftists — in his prior brief tenure in the Senate he had compiled the most partisan record of his 99 colleagues — that his social-justice methods and agendas would lead to a proverbial “permanent Democratic majority.” Do we remember the February 2009 Newsweek obsequious cover story “We Are All Socialists Now”?

"Supposedly, changing demography, massive illegal immigration, and identity politics had preordained a permanent 51 percent “Other” whose minority statuses, as defined by gender and race, had now become a majority, given the destined demise of the white working classes. If Obama had not existed, someone like Corey Booker, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, or Kirsten Gillibrand was supposedly foreordained to be president anyway.

" But while Obama sermonized about our predestined “arc of history” and how its moral curve bent this way and that, he managed to lose both his supermajority in the Senate and the House itself by 2011. By 2015, the Senate lost its Democratic majority.

"Ruling by pen-and-phone executive order only took the country more leftward. And it came at the price of stagnating the economy, acerbating social, cultural, and racial differences, raising taxes, and recalibrating foreign policy. " . . .

Updated: Sen. McCaskill Hides Agenda Including “semi-automatic rifle ban” from Moderate Voters . . . More updating at the bottom

. . . "Staffers Reveal in Undercover Video it “could hurt her ability to get elected.”

Project Veritas . . . "
Project Veritas Action Fund has released a third undercover video from campaigns during this 2018 election season. This report exposes how incumbent Senator McCaskill and individuals working on her campaign conceal their liberal views on issues in order to court moderate voters.

"Said James O’Keefe, founder and president of Project Veritas Action:
“This undercover report shows just how broken our political system has become. Senator McCaskill hides her true views from voters because she knows they won’t like them.” 

Claire McCaskill’s Staff Praise Her Ability to Hide Gun Control Support from Missouri Voters  . . . "The undercover video montage begins with an unwitting McCaskill gleefully admitting her support for numerous bans, including one of “high capacity” magazines. She proudly states, “I’ve voted for most of those things before.”

"Next up in the video, a filed organizer named Carson Pope talks of McCaskill’s openness to a “semiautomatic rifle ban.”

"Campaign staffer Nicholas Starost then describes McCaskill’s decision not to have Obama campaign for her: “He’s a very liberal candidate. And like … Claire distancing herself from the party is gonna help her win more votes than it will saying like: ‘Oh here’s Obama, the former president of the United States, to now speak on my behalf.’ Which is unfortunate because I love Obama to pieces, and I’d love to see him come here.”

"The Project Veritas reporter then asked about McCaskill and Obama, saying, “And they essentially have the views on everything?”

"Starost responded, “Yeah, People just can’t know that." . . .

Update: 'People Just Can't Know That': McCaskill, Staff Exposed In Undercover Sting Video

Second update: 1830, CDT:  Another Project Veritas video exposes McCaskill hidden agenda  . . . "In red states like Missouri and North Dakota, incumbent Democrats do their best to hide their party affiliation.  They need Republican votes to win, and cozying up to Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer would be the kiss of death.  A campaign appearance by former President Obama would excite Democrats but lose the candidate more votes than he would gain.

"McCaskill walks a tightrope, trying not to offend Republicans while maintaining contact with her liberal base.  As the Project Veritas video shows, it's a balancing act that, by necessity, involves lying to Missouri voters about her real intentions."

Portland Mayor ‘Supports’ Police Standing Idly By as Mob Envelops Car

Branco

Western Journal  . . . "So why are Portland, Oregon’s streets such a mess with riots and violence? Well, maybe it’s because the mayor condones it.

"Ted Wheeler, mayor of Portland since January of 2017, has been controversial in his post, to say the least. The city has been the scene of multiple immigration protests for which ICE has called him out, his city faces a homeless problem and he’s been a vocal critic of the president.

"As of late, the streets of Portland aren’t fit for average citizens to walk or drive through because they are scenes of violent protests from left wing antifa radicals who oppose the right wing demonstrators. The two just don’t mix and the combination is often combustible.

"Maybe the mayhem has become so prevalent there because the mayor is AWOL when it comes to directing law enforcement officials to stop the demonstrations and protests that are at the heart of the ills there.

"The Washington Times reported Mayor Ted Wheeler standing behind a decision by police to not intervene when riots break out and innocent people are attacked." . . .



The age of the red hats  "Thirty years ago, I found myself on the Kowloon ferry, facing several menacing men carrying four batons.  Avoiding an encounter, I moved as fast as I could, ignoring these young men, who continued their angry rants.

"What I could not forget was their anger and pointed red hats.  These students professed to know better than their own professors.  They were the Red Guards, the self-arrogated defenders of puerile Marxism.  They were intolerant and belligerent.  They also had an edge.  Those who challenged that vision could be imprisoned even without a trial, and families could be forced into harsh labor.

"Now we have the red pointed hats for the 2010s.  Groups such as Black Lives Matter believe that only their will is correct.  The hardcore left has checked off all debate.  It is not as if evidence has been established to reinforce a claim.  Evidence is irrelevant in a commitment to an idea.  Anger is justifying this position; in fact, the Lenins of our time believe it's in the national interest to promote anger." . . .

Hillary Clinton says Bill's sex assault allegations are 'different,' and the accuser speaks up

Russia Today

"Hillary Clinton got called out for hypocrisy after she argued that sexual harassment allegations against her husband, Bill Clinton, were different from those faced by high-profile Republicans, as they were thoroughly investigated.

"In an interview to CNN's Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday, the former Democratic presidential nominee rejected parallels between allegations of sexual misconduct against her husband and the ones that have been leveled against President Donald Trump, and those that marred the confirmation process of Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

There is a very significant difference. That is the intense, long-lasting, partisan investigation that was conducted in the 90s.

"The former secretary of state added that "if the Republicans, starting with President Trump on down want a comparison, they should welcome such an investigation themselves."

"Kavanaugh, who was sworn in on Monday after weeks of bitter partisan bickering, has faced allegations of sexual misconduct from several women, including claims he took part in gang-rape parties and was involved in sexual assault during his high-school years. The most prominent accuser, Dr Christine Blasey Ford, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Following her testimony and that of Kavanaugh, which both held Americans glued to their television screens for hours, the White House ordered a new FBI probe into Kavanaugh, who had previously undergone six background investigations as part of the George W. Bush administration and as a judge on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals.

Clinton's words did not go down well with Juanita Broaddrick, one of Bill Clinton's most famous accusers. In 1999, she alleged in an interview with Dateline NBC that Clinton raped her in 1978 when he was serving as the attorney general of Arkansas.

"The ex-President himself has never addressed the allegations, referring them to his legal representative. His lawyer, David Kendall, denied the allegations at the time. Broaddrick's story resurfaced during the 2016 presidential election campaign in light of the growing popularity of the #MeToo movement, which encourages victims of sexual assault to come forward.

"As tensions around Kavanaugh's confirmation were gaining momentum, Broaddrick demanded an FBI investigation into her own allegations against Clinton, accusing Democrats, who called for a thorough FBI probe into Kavanaugh, of opportunism and "double standards."

" 'It's not politically advantageous for them to circle around me and support me," she told Fox News in September.

"Responding to Clinton's fresh interview, Broaddrick did not mince her words, calling the former senator a "lying hypocrite."

" 'My case was never litigated," she wrote on Twitter, reiterating her call for an investigation into the allegations." . . .

Juanita Broaddrick‏ @atensnut @atensnutMore

Juanita Broaddrick Retweeted The Daily Caller

YOU LYING HYPOCRITE @HillaryClinton My case was NEVER litigated!!That’s why I’m calling for an investigation now. IF I CAN GET 100k signatures, the WORLD will KNOW IT, Hillary. THEN where will you hide?

"Broaddrick has launched a Change.org petition, asking for a criminal investigation into “Bill Clinton's sex crimes.” The petition has so far garnered over 34,000 signatures. It requires 100,000 to earn a White House response.

"Hillary Clinton has found herself in hot water in the past for standing by her top staffer Burns 

"She also drew widespread criticism when she claimed that her loss had contributed to the rise of the ”Me Too” movement, saying that "although it was a wave that was building," her election debacle "probably accelerated that wave" in April.

"Clinton's record as a paragon of women's rights has also been repeatedly tested by her close ties to disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. The Hollywood mogul donated to Clinton's campaign and even hosted several fundraisers for her."

Carter Page Sues DNC And Its Law Firm Over The Steele Dossier

iOTWreport  "DC: Former Trump campaign associate Carter Page filed a defamation lawsuit Monday against the Democratic National Committee and its law firm, which commissioned the infamous Steele dossier.

"Page filed the suit in federal court in Oklahoma against the DNC, the law firm, Perkins Coie, and two of its partners, Marc Elias and Michael Sussmann.

"Perkins Coie, which also represented the Hillary Clinton campaign, is the firm that hired Fusion GPS, the opposition researcher that investigated Donald Trump’s links to Russia.

"Elias was Perkins Coie’s main contact to Fusion GPS, which was founded by three former Wall Street Journal reporters.

"As part of the $1 million project, Fusion GPS hired former British spy Christopher Steele to conduct the investigation. The result was a 35-page dossier full of allegations that the Kremlin is blackmailing Trump and that the Trump campaign conspired with Russian operatives to influence the election. (RELATED: Here Is How Much The DNC And Clinton Campaign Paid For The Trump Dossier)

"Page, an energy consultant, features prominently in the dossier, though he vehemently denies its allegations.

"In the report, which was provided to numerous journalists and the FBI, Steele alleged that Page was the Trump campaign’s back channel to the Kremlin for the purposes of conspiring to influence the election. Steele cited anonymous sources who claimed that it was Page’s idea to release stolen DNC emails through Wikileaks. The dossier also alleged that Page met secretly with two Kremlin insiders, Igor Sechin and Igor Diveykin, during a trip to Moscow in July 2016. Page has repeatedly denied meeting with either man."

Elizabeth Warren’s DNA Test Proves She Was Lying

. . . Warren presented a recipe she had published in her cousin’s cookbook as evidence of her background. It was signed “Elizabeth Warren — Cherokee.” Later we learned that even the recipe was taken verbatim from an article in The New York Times five years earlier. It’s  easy to see what’s going on. Warren wants to dull Donald Trump’s “Fauxcahontas” jibes because she is about to run for president. "

The Federalist 

Acting as if the results of the senator's DNA test are a vindication of her initial claims is an assault on reason.

"Why did Sen. Elizabeth Warren spend all these years claiming to be a Native American?

"One plausible answer might be that her family had lied to her, or were also misled about their heritage, and that Warren truly believed she was Cherokee. This happens relatively often, I suppose. Then again, few people exhibit as much certitude, and gain as many benefits, over a claim that’s so obscure and unverifiable.
"The second is that Warren herself lied or exaggerated her heritage, knowing full well that her contention to Cherokee ancestry was likely nothing more than lore. She then latched on to this negligible history to gain traction in an academic field that was searching for more diversity in their candidates.
"We now know that the second option is more probable after the prospective presidential candidate decided to make a huge deal out of taking a DNA test, that, in reality, only proves she is as white as I am. A ludicrously unskeptical Boston Globe story about Warren’s dramatic decision to take the test begins by contending that there’s “strong evidence’’ of Warren’s Native American’s ancestry dating back 6 to 10 generations—which creates the impression that she has Native American family littered over the past 100 years.
"In truth, we learn, it’s possible that Warren’s great-great-great grandmother was partially Native American. This would make her around 1/32nd American Indian, a far cry from any reasonable threshold to embrace minority status for a job. That’s exactly what she did starting in the 1990s, before walking back her claims when it became politically expedient.
"Then again, being 1/32 (and really, the math says 1/64th) Native American is the high-end possibility. It is just as possible that Warren 1/1,024th Native American. (The story initially claimed it was 1/512th.) So maybe her great-great-great-great grandmother was part Cherokee.

"Maybe." . . .
