2020 and Democrats: what do they have in store for us?

In 2020, Democrats again plan to mess with the military  . . . "In addition to the psychological risks associated with allowing so-called transgender people into the military, the actual costs are high too. During the Obama era, the military (i.e. you, the American taxpayer) was paying for sex reassignment surgeries and hormone therapy. In addition, the after-effects of surgery and hormones create their own problems, problems that must inevitably affect the service-readiness of many who have had taxpayer-funded surgery and treatments.

"The Democrats’ dogged focus on messing with military readiness should be at the forefront of every voter’s mind during both primaries and general election."

Newly-Elected Democrats Let Their Masks Slip, Revealing The Fascists Beneath
"Liberals, and Democrats in particular, are great at creating false equivalencies.  Their latest attempt at this is to equate the heinous 2012 attack on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya, and the feckless response of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama with the recent attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad and President Trump’s no-nonsense response.

"Without replaying the whole sordid Benghazi event, suffice it to say that a coordinated, orchestrated, and deadly attack against two U.S. facilities in Benghazi claimed the lives of four U.S. personnel including a U.S. ambassador.  The response before during and after the attack was shameful.  No additional security was provided to the sites prior to the attacks despite repeated pleas from the ambassador, no help was forthcoming during the attack and there was no response after the attack other than a disgraceful press tour.

"Contrast this with President Trump’s defense of Americans.  On Friday, an Iranian-backed militia attacked a U.S. base and killed an American contractor and wounded many others. On Sunday, U.S. fighter jets attacked and demolished five militia bases in Iraq and Syria, killing 25 people." . . .

Hollywood Not Sending Us Their Best

Thank heaven we have "Law & Order: SVU" to expose NRA members!In the brain of a “queer, Jewish feminist,” the thought process is: I personally don’t enjoy this perfectly traditional, masculine, Anglo-Saxon sport of hunting; therefore, I will portray American male hunters as butt-raping their own sons.

Ann Coulter   "America’s apparently unstoppable gusher of mass Third World immigration is on track to deliver a sick, dystopian future, where some people will do very well -- cheap maids and all -- but women and children will fare quite poorly.

"(Finally! A story where women and children really ARE “hit hardest.”) (That’s Joe Sobran’s gag on a typical New York Times headline.)
"With the major media actively covering up the crimes of immigrants, and big tech companies censoring people who point out the peculiarities of other cultures, there seems to be a major campaign on to prevent Americans from noticing.
"Luckily, we have “Law & Order” to tell us the truth -- technically to prompt me to tell the truth by correcting their scripts, in which sex traffickers, little boy rapists and women-hating mass shooters are invariably Trump-supporting white American males.
"Beautiful actors and actresses spout dialogue written for them by “queer Jewish feminists” -- according to one writer’s self-description in response to my recent “Law & Order: SVU” column.
"I had pointed out that sex traffickers of 9-year-old illegal alien girls -- while prevalent in our new “diverse” country -- have never, ever, ever been what the show advertised: married white American businessmen.
"Celine Robinson responded on Twitter:

“I could not be more proud that ann coulter hates an episode of TV that I wrote. Nothing makes my heart sing like a fuming racist all-capsing about the progressive messaging she cannot stop due to her eternal and total irrelevance.

"Yours,"A half French, queer, Jewish feminist”

"I can’t help but notice that they don’t let viewers get a gander at Celine. No, they use hot actors and actresses -- pretty much the molecular opposite of a “queer, Jewish feminist” -- to express the multiple hatreds of a “queer, Jewish feminist” to the TV viewing public.

"You can view Celine’s photo here: . . . "
"It's always Opposites Day at “Law & Order: SVU”!

"Today, I will review another totally believable episode, from Season 20, titled “Man Up/Man Down.” In this show, a blond, blue-eyed married American man anally rapes his teenaged sons when he takes them ... hunting. Yes, hunting. The only thing missing was the MAGA hat.
"Checking my research on child rape in America, I see this has happened NEVER.

Obama and his Democrat friends love the happenings in Baghdad

Stilton's Place checks in: "In yet another effort by the "non-candidate" to get her face on the news, Hillary Clinton announced that she, along with daughter Chelsea Hubbell Clinton, was creating a new film production company which would "plan to focus on stories by and about women," as if the Hallmark Channel hadn't already beaten that estrogen-heavy genre to death." . . .

No matter how you look at it, the Left's ferocious bias against President Trump, one unleavened by a smidgen of objectivity, leaves them incapable of understanding events playing out in real time – and means that the media is incapable of intelligently or accurately reporting on the news of the day.   Andrea Widburg 

Andrea Widberg 1:  Baghdad shows the Left can't keep its stories straight  "President Trump continues to make Leftists decompensate in ways that can be worrisome but also are occasionally refreshing.  In the latter category, Leftists are so desperate to diminish President Trump's actions in the wake of the attack on the American embassy in Baghdad, they are abandoning their long-held narrative that President Obama's response to the Benghazi attack in 2012 was virtuous or, at least, unremarkable.

. . . In other words, while Benghazi became a watchword to conservatives for President Obama's malignant negligence, America's Democrat establishment, whether in politics or the media, held that it was just a case of bad things happening that were not President Obama's fault.  . . .

Andrea Widberg 2: Trump stands tall against Iranian attacks in Iraq

Let’s hope that Trump is able to avoid an embassy takeover or similar disaster. And if there is an embassy takeover, let’s hope that Trump handles it a whole lot better than Jimmy Carter did 40 years ago.

He was here at the White House with Prime Minister Maliki because he’s a transportation minister, yeah, transportation minister

RussiaGate Was 100% Fake SpyGate Is 100% Real

Threader  "Because Democrats and DNC Media won't tell you the truth about it, here's what actually happened the last 4 years.

1) The SpyGate plotters started spying on Donald Trump and his team back in 2015. They claim they started in late July 2016 is 100% a lie.

2) To launch their counterintelligence investigations of FOUR SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS close to Trump, the FBI fakes its probable cause to the FISA Court, alleging it has good, solid verified evidence that Carter Page, Gen Flynn, Papa D and Manafort are Russian agents.

3) To get a FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign, then after Trump won the election, his transition team, and then after Trump entered the White House, his Presidency itself, the FBI used a fake Trump/Russia dossier that came from a Clinton political operative, Steele.

4) The FBI then renews the Page warrant 3 times, so they were doing 'legal' electronic spying on Trump & his close associates for 11 months, from Oct '16 to Sept '17.
All during this time, the FBI keeps STUMBLING OVER EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE it hides from the FISA Court.

5) Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI lawyer in charge of handling the FISA warrant renewals, gets caught by DOJ IG investigators having tampered with a CIA email.

The FBI had asked the CIA if Page's claims of being a CIA contact in communication with then was true.
"CIA said YES. . . .

If only Trump had been president when Benghazi was attacked:

How on earth can the liberals not see the comparison between Trump in this case and Obama-Hillary with Benghazi?

"As I wrote at the time, this placed Iran in the position of having to carry out some sort of retaliatory action, or they would lose face with their proxies, but, at the same time, they had to calibrate it so they would not set off an overt military confrontation with the US. That reaction is now underway. This is RedState’s coverage of the action so far

Overwhelming Proof Emerges That Iran Is Behind the Attack on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq

This Is How It’s Done: Apache Helicopters And Marines Respond to Protect Personnel at US Embassy in Baghdad

"The Washington Post reports today on the men leading the mob action directed against the US Embassy. This one stands out:

Also in attendance Tuesday was Hadi al-Amiri, a former transportation minister, who is considered Tehran’s man in Baghdad. Amiri heads the Badr Organization, which is one of the largest pro-Iran militias in Iraq and is part of the PMF. It was originally founded in the 1980s to fight for Iran against then-President Saddam Hussein as part of the Iran-Iraq war.  . . .

More that you did not see at Benghazi:
82d Airborne Division Reaction Force Is En Route to Support Baghdad Embassy

. . . "This is the statement issued by Defense Secretary Mark Esper:

“At the direction of the Commander in Chief, I have authorized the deployment of an infantry battalion from the Immediate Response Force (IRF) of the 82nd Airborne Division to the U.S. Central Command area of operations in response to recent events in Iraq.

Approximately 750 soldiers will deploy to the region immediately, and additional forces from the IRF are prepared to deploy over the next several days.

This deployment is an appropriate and precautionary action taken in response to increased threat levels against U.S. personnel and facilities, such as we witnessed in Baghdad today. The United States will protect our people and interests anywhere they are found around the world.”

And the liberal anti-Trumpers call this "Trump's Benghazi"!
Trump not just a "new sheriff in town; we finally have a sheriff, period.

. . . This is how things are done and it is a clear sign that professionals, not the Ben Rhodes story hour crew in the Obama National Security Council, are in charge. A major incident was prevented through prior planning, the US demonstrated that it will not hesitate to kill Iranian-hired militias when they kill Americans, the deployment of additional US forces to the US embassy was timely and the measured response told the militias that it was time to wind their street theater down, and we avoided the public affairs disasters of either a US embassy being sacked and Americans killed and taken hostage or US troops stacking up dead, unarmed demonstrators inside the embassy compound.The next time people make snide remarks about wanting adults to be in charge, you can remind them that they are.

Meanwhile Biden wants to challenge the President to a push-up competition.

Impeachment Fallouts

Victor Davis Hanson  "Impeachment is shaping up as unpredictably explosive, but not in the way imagined. There are lots of things that we do know about the present impeachment of Donald Trump — and we know that there are even more areas that remain unknown. Quietly, the approval ratings of Trump have been rising to pre-impeachment levels and are nearing a RealClearPolitics average of 45. Support for impeaching Trump and/or removing him is not increasing as the House Democrats expected. It is essentially static, or slowly eroding, depending on how polls phrase such questions. Apparently, an exhausted public did not see “Ukrainian” impeachment as a one-off national crisis akin to the Nixon inquiry and the Clinton impeachment and trial that merited national attention. The impeachment vote instead is being confirmed in the public mind as part of a now boring three-year impeachment psychodrama (from impeachment 1.0, the Logan Act, the emoluments clause, the 25th Amendment, and Michael Avenatti/Stormy Daniels comedies to Robert Mueller’s “dream team” and “all-stars”). The progressive logic of the current jump-the-shark monotony is to become even more monotonous, the way that a driller leans ever harder on his dull and chipping bit as his bore becomes static."' . . .

Ted Cruz Demolishes Mayor Pete's Malicious Lie About the Founders and Slavery

Buttigieg should know these things — he majored in history and literature at Harvard. Yet the identity politics narrative simplifies the complex history of the Founders, painting them as evil rich old white oppressors. Perhaps Mayor Pete has allowed himself to get infected by a little too much "woke"ness.

Buttigieg tells kids the writers of the Constitution didn’t realize slavery was bad 
"Has anyone had enough of condescending moralist St. Pete Buttigieg, one of our more imperious Democrat candidates for president? Recently, he said Jesus would have likely been fine with abortion, late-term, whatever. He continuously claims he is the great Christian and appears to want to show the rest of us how to live as Christians. What he is preaching is not anything I learned in catechism classes.
"St. Pete told school kids in a video today that “the people who wrote the Constitution did not understand that slavery was a bad thing.” Aside from his condescending attitude towards the great men who wrote our Constitution and fought for freedom at great cost, Buttigieg didn’t even bother to learn a little about how the Founding Fathers felt about slavery." . . .

Ted Cruz Demolishes Mayor Pete's Malicious Lie About the Founders and Slavery 
. . . "Ted Cruz rebuked Buttigieg by posting a string of direct quotes from the Founders.
"Slavery is an evil of Colossal magnitude & I am utterly averse to the admission of slavery into the Missouri Territories. It being among my first wishes to see some plan adopted by which slavery in this country may be abolished by law," Cruz quoted from John Adams, a Founding Father and the second president.
" Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature," he quoted from Benjamin Franklin, who was a member of an abolitionist society. "Neither my tongue, nor my pen, nor purse shall be wanting to promote the abolition of what to me appears so inconsistent with humanity and Christianity."
. . . 
" 'Who talks most about freedom and equality? Is it not those who hold a bill of Rights in one hand and a whip for affrighted slaves in the other?" Cruz quoted from Alexander Hamilton, an abolitionist and the first secretary of the Treasury.
" 'It is much to be wished that slavery may be abolished," John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, wrote. "The honor of the States as well as justice and humanity, in my opinion, loudly call upon them to emancipate these unhappy people. ... To contend for our own liberty, and to deny that blessing to others, involves an inconsistency not to be excused.

New York’s Bail Reform Policies Are Setting Anti-Semitic Attackers Free to Attack Again

Legal Insurrection  "In the aftermath of the horrific machete attacks at a Monsey, New York synagogue that left five Jewish people injured Saturday night, Democrats are predictably pointing fingers at President Trump, who they blame for the stabbings.

"Prominent New York Democrats in particular have done much of the finger pointing, as NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio demonstrated during an interview with Fox News’ Ed Henry on Sunday.

An atmosphere of hate has been developing in this country over the last few years. A lot of it is emanating from Washington and it’s having an effect on all of us,” he said.

When asked if he was blaming Trump, he said, “not just the president,” but said “we need a different tone, starting in Washington … that encourage this country to actually find some unity and some common ground” that he does not think the country has had in recent years.

"Governor Andrew Cuomo also didn’t waste any time blaming the president for the recent spate of anti-Semitic attacks on Jewish people in New York state, first in a quick situational update given Sunday morning to reporters – without directly mentioning Trump by name:" . . .

Hanukkah stabbing suspect was kicked out of US Marine Corps boot camp in 2002 'fraudulent enlistment' one month after joining

Military law defines fraudulent enlistment as a 'knowingly false representation or deliberate concealment as to' a recruit's qualifications. That could involve a recruit failing to disclose certain medical conditions, past drug use or an arrest record, including cases that are sealed because the recruit was a juvenile or for other reasons.

Impeachment Backfiring, California To Lose Congressional Seat For First Time In History

Tony Branco

 Analyzing America   "The latest U.S. Census reveals that the 2020 decennial count may cause California to lose a seat in Congress, according to the Wall Street Journal.

"This would be the first time in California’s history.
"Other “Sun Belt” states may gain congressional representation.
"Political power is shifting away from the Northeast and Midwest toward the Southeast and Southwest.
"Residents seem to be moving to states with warm weather, strong job growth, cheaper housing and, in some cases, lower taxes." . . .

Obama Was the Most Anti-Semitic President in History, So Let’s Stop Pointing Fingers at Trump

Does this shed some light on America's relationship with Israel during Obama's presidency?

PJ Media  "I’ve previously written about how the Democratic Party has embraced anti-Semitism and defended rabid anti-Semites in their party. But as anti-Semitism becomes increasingly mainstream in the Democratic Party, rather than addressing the problem, Democrats are deflecting, trying to paint anti-Semitism as a Trump problem. Rep. Eric Swalwell recently alleged in an op-ed in the Jewish magazine Forward that Donald Trump is “embracing anti-Semitism.” Because Trump, who has a daughter who’s a converted Jew and Jewish grandchildren, is obviously an anti-Semite, or something.
"In the wake of the Hanukkah celebration stabbing in Monsey, New York, rather than blame the attacker, Democrats chose to blame Trump — who has done more for Israel and the Jewish people in three years than his predecessor did in two terms.
"The left is deliberately trying to whitewash Obama’s record of anti-Semitism, and the welcoming of anti-Semites into their party. When Barack Obama entered the national stage and rose to become the Democratic Party’s nominee in 2008, defending him at all costs mattered more than exposing his hateful roots and record." . . .

Most poisonous Obama relationship: Jeremiah Wright or Al Sharpton?  2014:

"Al Sharpton is now an advisor to and go-to guy on race relations for Obama, including on Ferguson.

"And you didn’t think it could get any worse than Obama having Jeremiah Wright as a spiritual advisor for much of his adult life, until the political heat got too hot." . . . 


Longtime Democrat Regrets Campaigning For Obama As Farrakhan Pic Surfaces  "A 13 year-old photo of Barrack Hussein Obama smiling with Louis Farrakhan has surfaced. Farrakhan is a known anti-semite, black supremacist and anti-gay enthusiast.

"The photo was taken in 2005. It was soon realized that the photo would reduce Barrack’s chances of getting the nomination. And now a life-long Democrat is is openly regretting campaigning for Obama after learning about the picture." . . .
[Alan] "Dershowitz said if he had known about the Obama/Farrakhan photo, he would not have campaigned for Obama. In an interview with FOX News, Dershowitz slams Farrakhan as a “virtulent anti-Semite and anti-American.” He claims Farrakhan is a “horrible, horrible human being” and is quoted as saying in regards to Obama:

“If I had known that the President had posed willingly with Louis Farrakhan when he was a Senator, I would not habe campaigned for Barack Obama.”“We should have nobody in public office associating with a bigot like Farrakhan.”
