They're talking impeachment already?

Political Cartoons by Gary Varvel

Confidential David Brock Memo: Defeat Trump Through Impeachment  "A confidential David Brock memo obtained by the Washington Free Beacon lays out the ways the Democratic operative plans to use his numerous organizations to take down President Donald Trump through impeachment.

"Brock is currently at the Turnberry Isle Resort in Aventura, Fla. for a weekend conference with more than 100 major liberal donors. Attendees are mapping out a course to combat the newly sworn-in president.

"According to the private and confidential memo, Brock plans to defeat Trump “through impeachment,” using American Bridge, his liberal super PAC, as the main vehicle to do so.

“ 'No other progressive organization has the resources and assets that American Bridge has amassed over the past several election cycles to hold Trump, his administration, and the politicians accountable,” the 44-page confidential memo states." . . .

Lets hope the rioter's day is coming

Thomas Lifson: Felony charges awaiting hundreds of Inauguration Day violent rioters "For the last 8 years leftist thugs have gotten a pass. Early on in the Obama administration, New Black Panther storm troopers – the label is fitting because they were decked out in ominous uniforms – stood before a polling station, weapons at hand, an obvious effort at voter intimidation that drew no official action from Eric Holder’s Justice Department. In effect, open season was declared by the chief law enforcement officer of the United States, and the message was received by progressives." . . .

. . . "I have my fingers crossed that prosecutors will go after the sponsors, if any, of this violence.  A familiar banner seen at many riots is that of the Revolutionary Communist Party.  Exactly who funds this organization is a mystery.  Using the prospect of a ten-year prison sentences as an inducement, perhaps some of the rioters will name names." . . .

Anti-Trump Protesters Invade Classrooms at Georgetown
. . . "In Professor Arsenault’s class, the protesters were forcibly removed by two teaching assistants, both of whom had prior military experience. The TAs grabbed the protesters and pulled them outside of the auditorium." . . .
"The left keeps claiming this is a special case because of Trump but I’m not buying it. I believe the left would be acting out in this manner no matter which Republican won."
WATCH this fearless, feisty College Republican single-handedly take on anti-Trump protest



. . . "Her colorful attire was matched by her feisty demeanor as the business information management major hollered back at her peers — a solitary figure standing up to a sea of students chanting “f*ck white supremacy” and “not my president.”
"With no one by her side, Rowlands danced and shimmied at the crowd in apparent mockery of the tide of Trump rage. She chanted back, she taunted, she engaged protesters.
“ 'They want to call you ‘racist’ and ‘white supremacist’ but don’t want to talk to you about what makes you a ‘racist,’ what makes you a ‘white supremacist,” Rowlands said as she filmed her interactions with the demonstrators. “And that is why they are going to continue losing.”
"At one point a protester shouted at Rowlands: “He’s not my president!' ” . . .

On the women's marches and their inconsistencies

The Pointless Paranoia of the Women's Marches



. . . "Excuse me if I don't get it. What exactly was motivating them?

"Oh, right, Donald Trump, that vulgar misogynist who bragged about pu**y grabbing (asterisks to dissociate myself from Madonna, even though I'm aging too). I'm going to skip over the obvious - these same women almost all ignored Bill Clinton actually doing (not just mouthing off about)  similar activities in the Oval Office, not to mention on numerous other occasions, some of which we know about and some of which we may not. Further, these women didn't have much to say -- no demonstrations, no marches, maybe a few hashtags -- when radical Islamists of various stripes regularly kidnapped large numbers of women (Nigerians, Yazidis, Kurds, etc., etc.) from their homes and took them as sex slaves, often beheading them after they finished raping them.  Nor did they even pipe up when honor killings were going on in their own backyard." . . .
"Which leads me to a final point -- people who demonstrate all the time should consider they risk morphing into a collective version of the boy who cried wolf.  When there's something really worth protesting, no one believes them anymore."

Organizer For DC Women’s March, Linda Sarsour Is Pro Sharia Law with Ties To Hamas  "Approximately 200,000 people participated in a ‘Women’s March’ in D.C. on Saturday. One of the organizers of the march, Linda Sarsour is a Pro-Palestine Muslim activist.  
"She also advocates for Sharia Law in America and has ties to terrorist organization, Hamas.
"Linda Sarsour is very vocal about her support for Palestine and her utter hatred for Israel. She has ties to the terrorist organization, Hamas as the Daily Caller reports:" . . .
Trump on women's marches: I thought we just had an election  "Watched protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election! Why didn't these people vote? Celebs hurt cause badly," he tweeted."

Pro-Life Feminists Are Old-School  . . . "Saturday Night Live tried to make a joke about this feminist icon’s pro-life views, but the joke is really on them: Susan B. Anthony, like many of our great feminist foremothers, really were against abortion. Early feminists opposed abortion because it took human life, because women were pressured by economics and by male partners to do something they didn’t want to do, and because they believed the vital right to control one’s own body could not include the right to destroy someone else’s." . . .

Hillary encourages it.

Passengers cheer as woman berating Trump supporter is kicked off plane

The American Mirror  "An elderly woman demanded a Donald Trump supporter seated next to her be moved, but she quickly found out that’s not how the world works.
"Scott Kotesky, in a window seat, posted video on Saturday showing a woman in the middle seat complaining about him to airline personnel.

Police: Arrested activist featured in Project Veritas inauguration video

“ 'I was thinking of things that would ruin their evening, ruin their outfits and otherwise make it impossible to continue with their plans. So they get nothing accomplished,” a man identified in the video as Scott Green, a leader of the D.C. Anti-Fascist Coalition, said in the undercover video."
Washington Times  "DisruptJ20 protesters dismissed as a joke an undercover Project Veritas video showing activists supposedly planning to shut down Thursday night’s DeploraBall by setting off smoke bombs or the sprinkler system — but D.C. police weren’t buying it.


"The 34-year-old man arrested Thursday night for conspiracy to commit assault at the event was among the activists featured in the undercover video released this week, according to court documents made public on Friday.
"Scott Ryan Charney was one of the three men caught on camera discussing plans to set off fire alarms and spray Butyric acid — an ingredient commonly used in stink bombs — at the National Press Club, where the party for Donald Trump supporters was held Thursday night. In the Project Veritas video, Mr. Charney is identified as Scott Green, the documents state." . . .

Billionaire George Soros has ties to more than 50 ‘partners’ of the Women’s March on Washington

"In the pre-dawn darkness of today’s presidential inauguration day, I faced a choice, as a lifelong liberal feminist who voted for Donald Trump for president: lace up my pink Nike sneakers to step forward and take the DC Metro into the nation’s capital for the inauguration of America’s new president, or wait and go tomorrow to the after-party, dubbed the “Women’s March on Washington”?
. . . 
"It’s an idea that I, a liberal feminist, would embrace. But I know — and most of America knows — that the organizers of the march haven’t put into their manifesto: the march really isn’t a “women’s march.” It’s a march for women who are anti-Trump. 
. . . 
"The left’s fierce identity politics and its failure on Islamic extremism lost my vote this past election, and so, as the dawn’s first light breaks through the darkness of the morning as I write, I make my decision: I’ll lace up my pink Nikes and head to the inauguration, skipping the “Women’s March” that doesn’t have a place for women like me."

PHOTOS: ANTI-TRUMP PROTESTER DISPLAYS ISIS FLAG, BEHEADING VIDEO

Uses jihadist propaganda to intimidate Trump supporters


Paul Joseph Watson  "Images taken during the violent unrest in Washington DC this week show an anti-Trump Antifa protester displaying a photo of an ISIS flag and an ISIS beheading video on his phone to intimidate Trump supporters.
"The individual who took the photos of the protester sent them to Infowars. He said he was inside the Proper 21 sports bar in northwest Washington on Thursday night when the protester approached the glass window." . .  .

Israel’s President Extends Invitation to President Trump, Holding Great Hope for the Future

Watcher of Weasels


"Israel’s President Reuven Rivlin has extended an invitation to President Donald Trump to visit the State of Israel.
“Mr. President, as a longstanding friend of the State of Israel, you now stand as leader of the free world, and of Israel’s most important and closest ally,” Rivlin wrote in the letter, which he posted to social media….
Trump has vowed to be a staunch ally to Israel, and had frequently criticized the Obama administration for its treatment of Israel[…]

This Dec 28th opinion in Yeshiva World News ponders the future with President Trump: 
tr

“Let’s start with what the Israelis themselves are saying. After the vote, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would be sharing information with the Donald Trump transition team that proves how the U.S. lobbied other countries behind the scenes to support the resolution. He has not made this public, but Israeli officials tell me it is based in part on what many Arab envoys told Israeli diplomats in private." . . .

Irish documentary on the making of "Saving Private Ryan"

The movie was filmed on a location in Ireland similar to the French Calvados Coast. Many of the troops, about 2500, in the movie battle were soldiers of the Irish Army.

15 Fascinating Facts About ‘Saving Private Ryan’
"It was up to eight men to save the life of one. Here are 15 things you may not have known about Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-winning World War II drama, Saving Private Ryan." . . .

Private Ryan Trivia Just a small sample:
  • "In the German-dubbed version of the movie, one of the actors, who was a German veteran of the Normandy invasion, dropped out and had to be replaced due to the emotional realism of the film."
  • "The Omaha Beach scene cost eleven million dollars to shoot, and involved up to 1,000 extras, some of whom were members of the Irish Army Reserve. Of those extras, twenty to thirty of them were amputees, issued with prosthetic limbs, to simulate soldiers having their limbs blown off.
  • Inspired by the true story of the Niland brothers. Sergeant Frederick "Fritz" Niland was in the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne. Band of Brothers (2001), produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, told the story of another 101st Airborne unit, Easy Company of the 506th PIR, whose member Sergeant Warren "Skip" Muck was best friends with Niland back home in Tonawanda, New York.

Second Class in the Classroom

"For some students, the above scenario and options may not be a hypothetical, since a collective of teachers and administrators known as the Caucus of Working Educators (a part of the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers) plan to carry out an ad-hoc “Black Lives Matter Action Week” in the city’s public schools beginning January 23."

Steve Feldman   "You are a child sitting in a Philadelphia classroom. The teacher, by implication and action asserts that your life doesn’t matter – and furthermore, that your people and your country are guilty of oppressing and committing genocide against another people.

"Do you argue with the teacher, risking retribution in the form of a bad grade or biased treatment for the remainder of the school year? Do you get up and walk out of the classroom, facing whatever punishment applies for that action? Or do you sit there silently and helpless, feeling oppressed as you conclude that the teacher -- and by extension the school system and the government -- are against you?
. . . 
"Perhaps any hatred that such materials and rhetoric foment can be tamped down while the students are in the school building. But what happens when the school day ends? How will this be acted out in the schoolyard or in Philadelphia neighborhoods? Within the past month in Philadelphia a synagogue was vandalized twice and a site where a mikvah (ritual bath) is being constructed was vandalized -- so the concerns are real."

Guess who was left unpardoned!

Political Cartoons by Jerry Holbert

Russ Vaughn "Obama has left town, and guess whom he has left holding the proverbial bag for possible criminality occurring during his presidency?  If you guess Hillary Clinton  and, by extension, her husband, her aide Huma Abedin, and her lawyer Cheryl Mills, among many others who hitched their wagons to the Clinton star  you’re right on the money.  Imagine the ominous sense of impending doom that must be spreading through the Clinton domain as all of them realize that they have lost forever the umbrella of protection from prosecution that a last-minute pardon from a friendly president of their own political party would have afforded them.  They now all stand fully exposed to the elements of criminal prosecution that they had thought themselves immune to during an Obama presidency followed by a Clinton election victory." . . .

American Silliness, naturally including CNN. January 21, 2017

University Gives Kids Juice Boxes, Legos to Deal with Trump Inauguration  . . . "GUPride, an LGBTQ student organization at Georgetown University, is setting up a safe space to help young people deal with the aftermath of making America great again.
"Join GUPride for a night of self-care after a long week. We will have Legos, juice boxes and more," the Facebook invitation reads. 
     "It's unclear if sippy cups will be provided or if students should bring their own. GUPride did not return my calls.
     "The good folks over at Campus Reform got their hands on an email sent to club members with all the juicy details of what they called "Post-inauguration self-care."
     “ 'There will be legos and stuffed animals and coloring books—come to embrace the inner child," the LGBTQ club declared." . . .

From Drudge comes this pair on CNN, which match nicely:
1. Nancy Sinatra Slams CNN, Congratulates Trump: ‘Why Do You Lie, CNN?’  . . . "Responding to an article published by CNN originally entitled, “Nancy Sinatra not happy Trump using father’s song at inauguration
She also congratulated the 45th president, tweeting, “Good luck to you.”
 2. Valparaiso YMCA Accused Of Censorship After Banning CNN From TVs  . . . “In order to eliminate perceived political bias associated with national news outlets, the Valparaiso Family YMCA will only be showing local news channels in the future.' ” . . .

TD wishes to thank CNN for their many contributions to this post.  CNN reporter Brynn Gingras breathlessly riding along with a bus of female protesters heading to DC  "CNN shows signs of going full opposition to the Trump presidency, probably in hopes of capturing the loyal viewership of Trump haters.  After being denounced as a fake news outlet, perhaps this is the only reasonable option left." 
. . . "CNN’s compilation of her previous work shows that the assignment prior to today was a report on how the inauguration could be traumatic for the Rockettes.
Rioters Pitch Massive Tantrum During Inaugural Ceremonies
"If history has taught us anything, it’s that setting fire to municipal trash cans brings about rapid political change…
"During the inaugural ceremonies, anti-Trump rioters burned things and smashed car windows." . . .
Fox News' Griff Jenkins and this kid were the pinnacle of silliness, but I'd rather not go into it again

College Declares 'You Guys' To Be Offensive  "What are they putting in the water in the University of Wisconsin system? On the heels of UW-Madison students trying to get a conservative student organization declared a "hate group," we have the "Check Yourself Educational Campaign" at UW-River Falls." . . .
"Why not: Erases the identities of those who are in the room."
 No, this is NOT fromThe Onion . 

NBC Uses Pic Of Sikh Man To Represent ‘Radical Islam’ Mentioned In Trump Speech  The Sikh man did have a point; they are not Muslims, but some have been murdered by ignorant gunman seeking revenge against Muslims. Sikhs differ from Muslims in a number of ways.
