COLBERT’S LATE SHOW Openly Mocks Melania Trump…Would Michelle Obama Be Treated The Same? [Video]

"Please let Colbert know on Twitter how wrong he is for mocking our First Lady!"

100% Fed Up "The liberal media keeps hitting below the belt…

"Liberal hack Stephen Colbert of the Late Show thinks it’s funny to mock our first lady. This is typical of most of the late night comedy. The low bar was set by Saturday Night Live and now everyone else is jumping into the act. Shame on Colbert for his disgusting and shameful attempt at comedy. Not funny!

"Actress Laura Benanti returned to The Late Show as Melania Trump to deny she’s being too constrained in the White House.

"WHAT IF THE TABLES WERE TURNED AND THEY MADE FUN OF MICHELLE OBAMA?"

Video here. I was going to embed the video, but couldn't bear doing it.
I have had contempt for this weasel since he bullied President Bush at - you guessed it - a previous White House Press dinner.
He needed no more courage to do what he did than the school bully does when picking on a smaller kid who he knows will not respond. 

"This would NEVER happen to the protected class of liberals. The fact that Colbert would air something like this just further cements proof  we’re in a war to control the narrative being pushed about the President and First Lady. The media wants people to think that their marriage is on the rocks. The press goes nuts if they don’t hold hands or if they do hold hands in the wrong way. It’s ridiculous!

GOP Midterm Slogan: ‘We Need Guest Workers to Do Your Jobs’

 Ann Coulter  . . . "Liberals love to sneer about the bovine idiocy of Trump supporters, who are allegedly incapable of processing basic information. (See Evan Osnos, every week in The New Yorker.) The dead silence that greeted Trump as he blathered about replacing Americans with guest workers proves that Trump voters are listening quite closely.

"The president needs to understand, unless he drops his bizarre and totally uncharacteristic desire to bring in people to do your job, the voters might just bring in someone else to do his.

"The plus side of the midterm elections is that liberals have gone mad. The minus side is that voters intensely hate Republicans. Liberal insanity is not going to save a GOP dead set on pleasing the donor class by screwing over ordinary Americans. As usual.

" It was hatred for Republicans that drove millions of voters to Trump in the first place.

"The same conservative talking heads who think the GOP is going to be fine by focusing on those great tax cuts – we'll get to immigration soon, promise! -- spent the first six months of Trump's candidacy indignantly informing us that he was "not a Republican."

"They said it was "unhealthy" for the party to be debating mass deportations. Trump "hasn't really stood for Republican things." The "summer of Trump" would come to a quick and deserved end. The danger, standard-GOP conservatives told us, was what Trump's candidacy "can do to the GOP brand."

"I thought the 2016 election would finally be enough to convince everyone that the Republican "brand" is not worth saving. It's like trying to buy the rights to the name "the U.S.S.R.' " . . .

Mueller's Russian Troll Farm Indictment Could Face An 'Embarrassing Dismissal'

Daily Wire  . . . "Prosecutors on Mueller's team revealed on Friday that lawyers Eric Dubelier and Kate Seikaly, who represent one of the Russian companies named in the indictment, made multiple requests demanding "nonpublic details about the case and the investigation."

"Dubelier and Seikaly accused Mueller's team of having no regard for the court's rules and suggested that they are just doing whatever they want without any legal authority to justify their actions.

" 'Defendant voluntarily appeared through counsel as provided for in [federal rules], and further intends to enter a plea of not guilty. Defendant has not sought a limited appearance nor has it moved to quash the summons. As such, the briefing sought by the Special Counsel’s motion is pettifoggery," Dubelier and Seikaly said in a statement.

"This is just the latest embarrassing developing for Mueller's Russia investigation as a Virginia federal judge accused Mueller's team of "lying," saying that they only cared about trying to take down President Donald Trump."

Pettifog:  
1.to bicker or quibble over trifles or unimportant matters.
2.to carry on a petty, shifty, or unethical law business.
3.to practice chicanery of any sort.

How's THIS for collusion? John Kerry ‘colluding’ with Iranians to foil Trump on Iran deal

That would be this John Kerry:

Washington Examiner: John Kerry talking with international leaders about preserving Iran nuclear deal: Report
"The Boston Globe reports Kerry met with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif to examine how to preserve the deal." . . .
"Trump has until May 12 to decide whether to continue on with the agreement, seek changes, or abandon it."

Hat tip to Weasel Zippers: If There Ever Was A Violation Of The Logan Act, John Kerry Just Broke It

Thomas Lifson  "Remember the Logan Act? That ancient (1799) law that has never seen a conviction bans unauthorized persons from negotiating with foreign governments over a dis0utew with the United States. But when the Deep Staters wanted to squeeze General Michael Flynn, Sally Yates resurrected it to threaten him over his perfectly proper meeting with the Russian Ambassador while President Obama was still in office as a lame duck.

"Now, it appears that former Secretary of State John Kerry is in technical violation of the Logan Act, something we know thanks to a report in the Boston Globe by Matt Viser:

John Kerry’s bid to save one of his most significant accomplishments as secretary of state took him to New York on a Sunday afternoon two weeks ago, where, more than a year after he left office, he engaged in some unusual shadow diplomacy with a top-ranking Iranian official.

He sat down at the United Nations with Foreign Minister Javad Zarif to discuss ways of preserving the pact limiting Iran’s nuclear weapons program. It was the second time in about two months that the two had met to strategize over salvaging a deal they spent years negotiating during the Obama administration, according to a person briefed on the meetings.

"The irony is not lost  on Devin Nunes:"  Read more...

We can now conclusively say the Iran nuke deal was induced by fraud

"By the Obama administration and the Mullah regime.

. . . "But don’t take my word for it, take the word of the Obama official who coordinated it, Ben Rhodes, who admitted as much in an NY Times interview. See our prior posts, Grand Deception: How Obama and Ben Rhodes Lied Us Into the Iran nuke deal and The Five Deceptions of Obama-Rhodes Echo Chamber

"There was a second fraud, by the Iranians. That fraud, which involved hiding and secreting evidence of its advanced nuclear weapons program, was just exposed by thousands of documents and CDs the Israeli Mossad stole from right under the Iranians’ noses at one of its most secret locations, Netanyahu Reveals Newly Discovered and Damning Intel on Iran Nuclear Program." . . .

Media can't stop boring us with Stormy Daniels stories

Tony Branco: Crude News Network

Monica Showalter  "Unemployment has hit record lows. Peace has broken out on the Korean peninsula. Terrorists are on the run. And all the media can focus on is a tawdry little story about whether President Trump tried to cover up a wretched, years-ago, tryst with an aging porn "star" who's itching to capitalize on it.

"Gross, gross, gross.

"Trump was right when he and his lawyers complained that the issue was a private matter and not even interesting to the American people.

"It isn't. A recent Quinnipiac poll shows that a large majority of America's voters don't care at all about the Stormy Daniels affair and that should probably extend to its fallout.

"Most of us can see what probably happened: Trump had an ill-advised tryst with a disgusting woman, and didn't want his wife to know about it. The wife probably did know about it, but like Carmela Soprano, had an understanding with her husband that she knew there would be girlfriends, she just didn't 'want her face rubbed into it.' Hence, the payoff." . . .

While CNN and MSNBC Obsess Over Stormy Daniels, Fox News Covers a Real Crisis in Syria  . . . "In the last 48 hours, there were 124 mentions of “Syria” on Fox News, according to a transcript search on media monitoring website TVEyes. That’s compared to 63 mentions on CNN and 80 mentions on MSNBC.

"In that same time, there were 56 mentions of “Stormy” on Fox News, compared to 116 on CNN and 125 on MSNBC.

"Critics of Fox News are fond of arguing that its opinion coverage undermines its authority as a news outlet. But in the past 48 hours FNC has its news sights trained on a serious international crisis, while its competitors seem mired in the sensationalism of the Stormy Daniels saga." . . .

Honduran immigration is a cash cow for that country

Bearing Honduran flags, demanding entry into our country; isn't that called an invasion? Supported by a fifth column of American leftists taught by American media and academia to hate our nation and all it has been. 
When asked after  the first Constitutional Convention what the founding fathers had given us, Benjamin Franklin's answer was, "A republic, if you can keep it". 
It seems this generation of Americans no longer has the desire to keep it. The Tunnel Dweller

Taxing Remittances Can Build the Wall  "Among the alleged asylum-seekers parked on the U.S. border is a contingent of Hondurans, allegedly fleeing persecution, poverty, crime, and oppression.  If that is the case, then why is the Honduran government helping them, driving them northward under orders given to the Honduran ambassador, who is helping and escorting them?"
. . . 
"Why is the country whose oppression they are allegedly fleeing helping them leave?  The answer is remittances, the money sent back home by so-called "migrants."  Asylum is in large part a colossal scam designed to provide Latin American countries with both a safety valve and a cash cow of foreign exchange.  In 2017, remittances sent back to Honduras totaled $4.33 billion and make up a significant part of the Honduran economy:"
. . . 

Talk about a trade imbalance.  We import alleged asylum-seekers and other illegal aliens, and they send home billions sucked out of a benevolent U.S. government and economy.

Trump's wall would do a lot to stop this, but the question is how to pay for it.  One U.S. congressman has suggested a way to get Mexico to pay for it, and Honduras, and Guatemala, and the rest of them:

 How do we tax it when they work on a cash basis?

Pentagon Bomber Bill Ayers: 'I Served Honorably In The Struggle Against War, For Peace And Justice'

Daily Wire  "On Thursday, Bill Ayers got into a Twitter war with an apparent former infantry officer. Here’s what it looked like:" . . .

More here...

. . . "Ayers, who has been lauded by Leftists including Barack Obama for decades, was in fact a terrorist. He was one of the founders of the Weather Underground, and participated in the bombings of the New York City Police Department headquarters, the U.S. Capitol, and the Pentagon. The group’s ideology: “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents.” Three of his friends were killed when a bomb Ayers designed went off during its production. That bomb, as Andy McCarthy points out, had been designed to murder U.S. soldiers. In 2001, Ayers stated, “I don’t regret setting bombs” and added, “I feel we didn’t do enough.”

"But don’t worry — Ayers was just fighting for peace and justice.

"In an era when every foible of the Trump administration is subject to dramatic misreporting by the media, it’s incredible to recall that Barack Obama’s open association with Ayers was deemed unworthy of serious discussion, gauche and somewhat taboo. Ayers still lurks around the fringes of the Left, and he’s well-respected in the halls of academia."  Emphases mine, TD

Rod Rosenstein Has Botched the Mueller Probe

• Neglecting to place restrictions on the Mueller investigation is grounds for his removal.

Rich Lowry  "Rod Rosenstein is doing a star turn as principled defender of the law, but he’s performed abysmally as deputy attorney general, and President Donald Trump would be fully justified in firing him.

"The leaked questions that special counsel Robert Mueller wants to ask Trump in a prospective deposition are, if accurate, a sign that Mueller has spun out of control on Rosenstein’s watch.

"The questions (drafted by Trump’s legal team after consultations with Mueller’s investigators) suggest a free-floating investigation of the president’s motives, undertaken by a subordinate of the president. This is unlike any special-counsel investigation we’ve ever seen and represents a significant distortion of our system.

"Per the questions, Mueller wants to know how Trump reacted to news stories in the Washington Post. What he thought of FBI director James Comey during the transition. How he feels about his attorney general.

"These questions grow out of an obstruction-of-justice probe centered, as far as we can tell, on Trump’s exercise of the legitimate powers of the presidency. Mueller is out to prove that Trump had ill intentions. But this is an inherently problematic inquiry that involves a subordinate second-guessing the president on highly political questions." . . .  Full article

Republican Michael Caputo:  “I want to know who cost us so much money, who crushed our kids, who forced us out of our home, all because you lost an election”

. . . "Caputo called for an “investigation of the investigators” and said he wanted to know who was “coordinating this attack on President Donald Trump.”

“ 'Forget about all the death threats against my family. I want to know who cost us so much money, who crushed our kids, who forced us out of our home, all because you lost an election,” Caputo said. “I want to know because God damn you to hell.' ” . . .

"Congress has been investigating alleged collusion between Trump campaign operatives and Russian agents for a year. They’ve yet to find any proof anyone knowingly or willingly worked at the behest of Russia." . . .

Here are the members of the Senate Intelligence Committee
Kamala Harris of California is one of them, you know. "Ms. Harris was ferocious in her calls for a special prosecutor to supervise the F.B.I.’s Russia investigation. Often named as a potential presidential candidate, Ms. Harris, a former attorney general of California, was assigned to the committee this year when she joined the Senate." . . .

Who will ever side with Republicans as a candidate knowing they can be destroyed financially? Recall that Democrats persecuted members of the Bush Administration for their interrogation of radical Islamic terrorists.

The Democrats' favorite sport: Ruining people . . . "Throughout his two terms, Obama appointed people who, like him, view the Constitution as an old, irrelevant document written by old white men.  The left today, like Obama throughout his administration, seeks to increasingly transform the U.S. into a socialist nation with all the abrogated freedoms that would entail." . . .

Legal Insurrection

CA Lawmaker Proposes Allowing Illegal Immigrants to Serve on State Boards  "A state senator in California is proposing legislation that would allow illegal immigrants to serve on state and local boards.
"State Sen. Ricardo Lara (D) introduced Senate Bill 174 on Monday, amid an ongoing immigration policy battle within the state.
"Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren said on "Fox and & Friends" that she actually encourages these far-left policy moves, believing they will help Republicans in the state. 
" 'Go as far to the left as you want to because people are going to speak up," she said Wednesday." . . .
But can the damage they do ever be reversible?

Booming: Unemployment Drops to Lowest Level Since 2000

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/

Via Townhall:

Marketwatch reports Unemployment rate falls to 17-year low as U.S. adds 164,000 new jobs

"The numbers: The economy generated a solid 164,000 jobs in April to push the unemployment rate below 4% for the first time since Bill Clinton was president, a sign the surging labor market shows no signs ebbing.

"The increase in hiring fell short of the 188,000 forecast of economists polled by MarketWatch, but the shortfall was cushioned by upward revisions that show the U.S. created more jobs in March than originally reported.

"The unemployment rate, meanwhile, slipped to 3.9% after holding at 4.1% for six months in a row. Yet the decline owed to a shrinking labor force and fewer people saying they were unemployed instead of an increase in how many people found work.

"Despite the ultra-tight jobs market, wages for American workers still aren’t rising rapidly. Hourly pay rose 0.1% to $26.84, the government said Friday. The 12-month increase in pay was flat at 2.6% for the third month in a row. The Federal Reserve is likely to view the stable rate of pay as a sign of support for its cautious strategy of raising U.S. interest rates." . . .

Updated: Sorry, Liberal Media, But You Own Michelle Wolf

David Limbaugh   "Michelle Wolf is not the first so-called comic to maliciously insult conservatives and Republicans at a White House Correspondents' Association dinner, but she was intentionally mean-spirited, and even after the blowback, she's unrepentant. 

"Members of the liberal mainstream media have expressed disapproval over some of Wolf's comments, saying she went too far. But I'm not buying it. This is what passes as liberal humor these days. Just watch Jimmy Kimmel, Bill Maher and Stephen Colbert and tell me their humor is less malevolent. 

"But hold on, you say. There's a difference between late-night TV and a formal dinner pregnant with self-important dignitaries of the Washington press corps. Perhaps, but the point is there is a receptive constituency for this kind of bile. The organization had to have known what to expect from Wolf, and she admits she was just being herself that night. "If you've seen any of my comedy, you know that I don't -- I'm not (nice)," said Wolf. "I don't pull punches. I'm not afraid to talk about things." 

"Revealingly, comedian Tina Fey said, "When you invite a comedian into that place, where that tone is set, they're going to give it to you straight, and I think that's pretty much what she did." Whoa! In one line, Fey defends Wolf's nastiness, confirms that the association should have known what it was getting with her and fixes her stamp of approval on Wolf's calling White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders a liar. 

"The unapologetic Wolf, however, denies she was ridiculing Sanders' looks. But in her indignant denial, she admitted something just as damning: "I think if you listen to the joke, you'll understand that it's about the fact that she lies, and if it's taken another way, I think you should go back and listen to it again.' "  . . .
