Socialist Ignoramus, Fake Phony & Fraud Democrat AOC, Eviscerated By Former ICE Director
Vote these socialist fascists out of office. It's Democrats and socialism against freedom. Freedom must win.
No wonder the Democrats want to eliminate ICE. It's one of the few organizations that stand between them and our freedom!

Democratic lawmaker introduces articles of impeachment against Trump

(CNN)Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas on Tuesday introduced his articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, which will force the House to take up the measure later this week.
Green's resolution is unlikely to lead to an actual vote on impeachment in the House, but he can force the chamber to act on it under House rules within two legislative days, creating a dilemma for House Democratic leaders and the moderate Democrats who have largely tried to avoid the issue of impeachment.
While Green said Tuesday that he wants an up-or-down vote on articles of impeachment, the House has several options to dispose of his effort, though they each have drawbacks. The House could vote to table, or kill, the resolution, but that would in effect put lawmakers on the record about impeachment.
The House could also vote to refer the resolution to the Judiciary Committee, but Republicans would likely oppose that vote, forcing Democrats to vote in favor of the referral in order to move the resolution off the floor.
House leaders weren't saying how they would handle the resolution on Tuesday before Green formally introduced it.
"That will be up to our leadership team to decide," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said when asked about Green's push for a vote.
"We haven't really discussed how to dispose of it," said Majority Leader Steny Hoyer. "I'm not gonna try to discourage him, you know, he has to do what he thinks is right."
Green has previously introduced privileged resolutions forcing a floor vote on impeachment in December 2017 and January 2018. In both cases, the Republican-led House decided to table the measure, voting 354-58 and 355-66, respectively.
But this is the first time Green has forced a vote with Democrats controlling the House.
Democrats said Tuesday that they understood Green's steadfast beliefs that the impeachment resolution was necessary, but they questioned the timing of his move: a week before special counsel Robert Mueller testifies and at a time that the caucus reminds divided on the question of impeachment.
"I cannot control what another member does. It looks like that's going to happen. We will just have to deal with that," said Illinois Rep. Cheri Bustos, the head of the House Democratic campaign arm.
"Look, if he brings it, I'm going to vote for it. Do I think that's the most strategic thing right now, without a game plan? Who knows," said Rep. Cedric Richmond, a Louisiana Democrat.
Green said he informed Democratic leadership that he planned to introduce his resolution Tuesday, adding that he understood that it could be a tough vote for his colleagues but that still would not deter him.
"I believe if we don't do this, the President will only intensify his ugly behavior," Green said. "It just seemed to me that we should bring these articles before the House of Representatives so that we could not only condemn him, but impeach him so that he will understand that there are some boundaries."
While much of the impeachment debate in the Democratic caucus is focused on what Mueller found in his investigation, Green said he left that out of the resolution he introduced this week.
Green referenced the President's racist tweets this past weekend targeting four Democratic congresswomen of color, which were condemned by the House in a vote Tuesday moments before Green introduced his impeachment resolution. Green also said he was citing Trump's past comments and actions on race and immigration that included calling asylum speakers "invaders" and saying there were "very fine people on both sides" after the 2017 white nationalist protests in Charlottesville, Virginia.....

New York Trip Preparations - Part 1
I know that some of you might be tired of hearing about my travel-preparations, so I am starting to name my blogs "New York Trip Preparations - Part (blank)", starting with this blog. That way, you can just skip those blogs, and read something else.
With that out of the way, it's time to dive down into the blog!
I went to the exchange agency again for the second time this week, to get some more US dollars for my trip next year. I ended up with $353, and with my $50 from earlier, I am now at $403. 40% of the way to my goal, which seems like it's manageable to reach.
If i am careful with my spending here, and if I can put away DKK400 every month for 9 months, that means I will get $56 every month. $56 times 9 is $504, which puts me at $907. I do have some saving that I can use as well, so I am confident I will hit the magical $1000, which was my goal all along.
I am also slowly preparing my list for the week I am going there. My friend has volunteered to take me to New York City, which I will not turn down. She suggested that we found a hotel for a night, making it a 2-day trip. I am not going to complain at all. It's gonna be awesome! I really want to see the American Museum of Natural History. I want to get up close to a T Rex skeleton! That is one of my dreams! Luckily there is an exhibition of that, that runs throughout August 2020. There is a $23 entry fee, which I will gladly pay. I also want to visit Ground Zero. So many plans, and so little time, I feel. I will just have to come back at another time.
I have bought myself a travel bag. It's called the Haglöfs 40, and it's supposedly a very spacious bag. Hopefully I can fit a weeks worth of clothes into the bag. I might just bite the bullet and get myself a carry-on bag, and pay the fee to have it in the cargo hold. I am not allowed to store it in the overhead bins, which is total f*cking bull.. Anyway, where was I.. Oh yeah..
That bag I bought was on sale. 30% off, which was a welcome surprise. Particularly since I am travelling on a budget. Regarding the budget - I sent mine to my friend that I am visiting, and I asked her if I was totally wrong, or if I was on the right track. She said I should raise it by $100 at least, and have as close to $1000 with me, in order to get some more wiggle room for souvenirs and such.
Next thing for me to do is to get a job, so I have something to tell the CBP officer when I land in Newark next year!

Apologies
People apologize for only two reasons; firstly because they were wrong and are truly sorry or secondly because they are under pressure to do so. I don’t care much for the latter and I won’t include those timid souls who are forever apologizing about everything to save the peace; whether they are right or wrong. That’s not apologizing; it is grovelling. 
Now don't take offense as I'm not saying anything. This is all hypothetical. Besides, if you do it will only reveal what you think of yourself.
Let’s imagine a hypothetical situation during a small altercation on the blogs where I called another blogger the biggest arsehole I have ever come across. Allegations like that don’t just slip out; such an opinion of him was build from previous thoughts and it takes a lot of frustration to force it into the open.
If he then runs to management and I’m given the options to apologize or face suspension – a
fairytale in itself – I’d apologize but it will not mean a thing. Nothing has changed. I’d still think that he’s an arsehole and I’ll probably apologize by conceding that he’s not the biggest arsehole that I have stumbled across and that I’m sorry for calling him that. Regardless, he will just become an even bigger arsehole in my opinion. Apparently we are allowed to have opinions… as long as we keep them to ourselves. 
On the other hand, if later I should discover that my opinion of the guy was wrong and that he’s not such a big arsehole at all, then I have done him wrong and I should and would apologize in a most sincere way. I was wrong about him and I will tell him so.
Maybe we can look at another hypothetical scenario; let’s assume that I’m told to apologize or face suspension – more wishful thinking
– after expressing the opinion that half the members at CS are arseholes, I believe that I’ll gladly (and honestly) concede that half the members at CS are not arseholes. 
I wish you all a great day.

Budget for the US!
I am beginning to lay a budget for my USA trip. These are based on my estimates, how much I usually spend here in Denmark, and how much I anticipate to spend each day.
My first draft came in at $196, which I thought was a bit.. Low.. I am going to be there for a week, after all, so $196 would seem a bit too low. I then did some tweaks, and added some things to it. This time, it came out to $536 for a week, which seems a bit more reasonable.
Food: $30 the first 6 days and $25 on the last day, for a total of $55.
Drinks: $62 for the week. I am not planning on going binge drinking. 3 crates of coca cola, a 40-pack of water and 4 drinks at $6 each seems reasonable. I might spend more or less on the drinks, but we'll see.
The biggest expenditure is entertainment. A massive $160 for the week, which gives me more than enough room to spend less, if needed. I don't think I will spend $20 a day on that, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared.
I will spend $76 on souvenirs for myself. I have found the perfect set for me to buy!
I am still going to bring close to $1000, which gives me a surplus of $464.
I will still tweak it a bit, but so far it looks alright. I am being picked up at the airport, and I am not going to stay in a hotel or do some sightseeing in NYC, since I am staying at her place in upstate New York, and I am pretty good with saving money anyway. This month, I have managed to live of $300. This is in a country that is 9.2% more expensive than the United States.
Given that there is a while until I travel, please bring your best money-saving tips, and let me know if my budget looks completely stupid.

TSA, questions, food and other stuff as well!
I had a look at some travel videos, particularly videos about flying into the US. Someone said in one video, that you had to fill out a TSA form, that lists your name, where you are from, your DoB, where you are staying and if you have anything to declare.
"Oh my," was my first thought. Then I found out, that the TSA asks five questions, when you arrive: Purpose of visit, length of stay, where you will be staying, what you do for a living and if I have anything to declare. The answers are similar to the form I have to fill in on the plane, so if I give the same kind of answers that I wrote on the form, I will be let into the US. I need to sort most of the things out, but, as someone pointed out in one of the comments on an earlier blog, I have a LONG time to go before my trip, but it doesn't hurt being prepared. I am an old boy scout, so I live by their motto: Be prepared!
Given all this light stress about securing my entry into the US, I have begun saving a lot of money. I do that by buying cheap items, that I can mix into something edible and tasty. I am also beginning to cook in batches, so I can freeze the food down, and thaw it up later. Yesterday, I spent $12,76 on things, that would result in two days worth of food. I am usually not a big eater, so I can easily get by with spending $15 per week. In Denmark, at least. I am not sure how long $100 will last me in the US. I might do some research on that. Which is the cheapest store to buy food?
In order to be VERY prepared, I plan to lay a budget for my entire week in the US. I really want to buy souvenirs to bring back home with me. Or maybe just something for myself. A flag or something. Maybe some shoes as well.
But in general, I am looking forward to the trip, as you can probably tell by my constant rambling about it. It's my first blog about this subject in four days, so it's not like I am bombarding you with blogs about the subject. As we get closer to my departure date, I will probably write a lot of blogs about it.

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