Watch "MONICA CROWLEY: THEY WANT TRUMP IN PRISON! | POWERFUL INTERVIEW ON HANNITY | 3/7/17" on YouTube

As much as I have always thought that good prevails over evil, I might be wrong on this one.

Now if this happens, the future of my country and maybe even the world is going to be chaotic. I hope it's not the case, but I can only pray.

It's quite clear, that the GOP agenda is much more important to Republicans than what the majority of people want.
It didn't start with the election of the most unqualified US president in history.
It started with the Tea Party within the Republican party,
a band of obstructionists, who would do anything to halt progress.
Indeed, they pledged to do just that.

But, with the help of Putin, Trump was elected and Republicanswe re so happy that a person
representing the Republican party, got in power, that they turned a blind eye to things they would have
passionately objected to only 2 years earlier.

We are now at a point, that the Republican 'representatives' no longer care about what is the right thing
to do. Instead, most have replaced integrity with what can we get away with, and the public has
been outraged at many things that have taken place in the past 2 years.
These include tax cuts for the rich, jailing young children of refugees away from their parents,
obnoxious Tweets, alienating allies, coddling dictators, allowing more pollution, allowing mining & drilling in National Parks, destruction of net neutrality, attempts to take away health benefits, and other things deleterious to a large part of the population.

The result is that this country is more divided than it has been in decades.
The Kavanaugh confirmation may be the tipping point.
Will the confirmation of an accused s*xual predator to the Supreme Court be the tipping point
to finally motivate voters to select better representation ?

The majority of people in the USA are female. However, Trump lost the popular vote in 2016
and still got elected due to an antiquated electoral college.
Yet, Congressmen don't get an electoral college to vote as they please.
They are elected by the popular vote.
So, will the public make their voices heard, when & where it will do the most good ?
Will this be the end of the Republican majority in Congress ?

I guess we will find out in early November.

This is the first time a non-president won the New Hampshire primary back to back. (Sanders won 4 years ago also.)

Mayor Pete was close though (~ 24.4 %).

Klobuchar (< 20%) leapfrogs over Warren (~9.4%) & Biden (~8.4 %)

Both Yang (2.8 %) & Bennet (0.3 %) drop out of race.

Bloomberg waits for the next one.

In the meantime we can expect to see several Bernie smear blogs on here.

...by too much politics. But they leave me no choice. You know how I rant about how the snowflake alt liberals like to throw around the R word, and words ending in -phobia. Why, oh why, are they forcing my hand at CNN (Clinton news network)? Our Dazzling and Brilliant President Trump assembles a top notch commission on an American public health response to the Wuhan Corona virus proto pandemic. CNN's main comments? Not on the appropriateness of the presidential response. Or the quality of the staff. No, no no, my fellow lemmings on the bus. The main concern was, that the commission was all white, or at least not minority affirmative action enough for the editors and news wonks at CNN. Pathetic, but sort of glad they have sunk so low. Four more years. Then eight of Pence. Can't make this stuff up folks.

Another Trump win. And nope, we don't get tired of winning, and will continue to do so!

A federal appeals court on Friday unanimously ruled that more than 200 Democratic congressional lawmakers do not have standing to sue President Trump over allegations he violated the Emoluments Clause over foreign payments to his businesses.

“Because we conclude that the Members lack standing, we reverse the district court and remand with instructions to dismiss their complaint,” the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit said in its ruling.

“The Members can, and likely will, continue to use their weighty voices to make their case to the American people, their colleagues in the Congress and the President himself, all of whom are free to engage that argument as they see fit,” the court continued. “But we will not – indeed we cannot – participate in this debate.”

The court added that “the Constitution permits the Judiciary to speak only in the context of an Article III case or controversy and this lawsuit presents neither.”

Holding up a copy of the ruling as he departed Washington for a North Carolina event, Trump blasted the suit as a "phony" case.

“It was a total win,” he declared.

The ruling comes after the court ruled in August that Trump could challenge the lawsuit, saying the litigation raises the "unsettled" question of whether politicians have standing to sue a sitting president for running international businesses.

The Emoluments Clause is contained in Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution and states that “No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title of any kind whatsoever, from any King, Prince, or foreign state.”

More than 200 congressional Democrats brought the lawsuit against the president in June 2017, alleging that Trump violated the clause. Democrats argued that they had standing to sue because the clause says only Congress may approve foreign gifts and payments.

“The framers gave Congress a unique role, a unique right, and responsibility,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., who helped organize the suit, said at the time. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., was also involved.

Upon taking office, the president turned over control of his companies to his sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., but did not divest from them, meaning he still technically can benefit financially from the Trump Organization’s profits, including from foreign governments.

Since becoming president, the Trump Organization had secured dozens of valuable patents, including in China, and collected fees from lobbyists working for Saudi Arabia and other countries using his properties.

A federal appeals court, earlier this year, dismissed a similar Emoluments Clause lawsuit filed against Trump by the state of Maryland and the District of Columbia.

"I got sued on a thing called emoluments. Emoluments. You ever hear of the word? Nobody ever heard of it before," Trump said at an event in Pennsylvania last year.

A lot of people are starting to wake up and seeing what the democrat party (liberal socialists) is doing. These people have always used the race card to try to advance their agenda.

Surge in voters who say race card used against Trump 'for political gain'

Voters are largely split when asked if President Trump is a racist, but there has been a new surge in those who believe critics are using the race card for political gain against the White House.

A new Rasmussen survey found that 49% do not believe Trump is a racist. Another 47% do.

But it unveiled some new trends that highlight the current clash between the president and four House Democratic women of color.

The survey found, for example, that more voters than before believe Trump critics are using race to pound him.

And the percentage of those who think he’s a racist have shrunk.

“The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 47% of all ‘Likely U.S. Voters’ think Trump is a racist, down slightly from 50% in January 2018. Slightly more (49%) disagree and say his opponents are accusing him of racism only for political gain, up from 43% in the earlier survey,” said a pre-release analysis of the poll posted at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.

More p.c. crap is on the way. Libs keep finding ways to take this stuff to a new level.

'Manhole' no more: California city banishes gender-specific words from municipal code

A new law passed in Berkeley, California would rename words like 'manhole' to 'maintenance hole'; Christina Coleman has the details.

Now, the city of Berkeley is taking it a step further.

The city is removing gender-specific words in its municipal code. It will cost the city about $600 to make the changes. The Berkeley City Council unanimously passed the measure to replace more than two dozen commonly used terms on Tuesday.

It will switch words like “he” and “she” to “they” and “them” in the city code. “Manholes” will be changed to “maintenance holes” and references to manmade will be changed to “artificial.”

Councilman Rigel Robinson, a 23-year-old recent graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, sponsored the ordinance. He tweeted, in part: “There is power in language. It’s a small move, but it matters.”

Berkeley City Manager Dee Williams-Ridley wrote in a memorandum to council, “In recent years, broadening societal awareness of transgender and gender-nonconforming identities has brought to light the importance of non-binary gender inclusivity.”

Terms like fraternity or sorority will be changed to “collegiate Greek system residence.” Other terms that will be changed include pregnant woman or women. It will be switched to pregnant employees. Brothers and sisters will be switched to sibling.

Berkeley has a lengthy history of leading on politically and socially liberal issues. Also on Tuesday, Berkeley city council voted in favor of becoming the first city in California to ban natural gas in new building construction. The measure will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2020.
