These fresh young Progressive anti-Semites in Congress are just delightful!
At least I can understand the THIS new Congress…PERSON. And well educated, because Israel is EXACTLY like Iran. Ask any gay Israeli man who’s ever been thrown off a roof or hung for simply being gay, for starters.
"When I see Israel institute a law that recognizes it as a Jewish state .. and we still uphold it as a democracy in the Middle East, I almost chuckle, b/c … we see that in any other society we would criticize it, we would call it out. We do that to Iran." pic.twitter.com/XZxWpGGumU
And don’t EVEN get me started on the baby killing monsters, who are now saying we mis-interpreted the baby killing statements we heard on video, which – also amazingly – were heard by Republican members of Congress, yet NOT A SINGLE DEMOCRAT.
How…curious.
It’s been a GREAT WEEK for the Left/Democrats/Progressives.
Question Posed: How Did Bob Corker Go from ‘Dead Broke’ to $69 Million Net Worth During 11 Years in U.S. Senate?
“How do you increase your net worth by 69 million dollars while you’re working full-time as a Senator?” That’s the question Rolling Stone reporter Matt Taibbi asked about Senator Bob Corker (R-TN) on Friday.
Man, I NEVER get these kind of gigs. Not being the greedy sort, I’d stop after the first $20 million.
Heart’s in my throat about a possible Gillum win. He will destroy everything Florida’s accomplished in the past 8 years, and we will be joining the “states with income taxes” column in no time.
THIS sort of progress will be lost to Floridians.
BREAKING: Over past 12 mos, payroll employment including small-business start-ups has grown an avg of 200k/ month, while total cash earnings for workers are up 5.5% (even excluding 1-time bonuses like those paid after the tax cut). That's fastest growth in cash earnings on record
Not to even start on the raft of restrictions, regulations and smothering social initiatives that will come with a crooked Tallahassee mayor ascending to the governor’s mansion.
Who overheard every conversation she had. For 20 years. A Chinese spy.
SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) – New details emerged Wednesday about how a mole for the government of communist China managed to stay by Senator Dianne Feinstein’s side for nearly 20 years.
It happened five years ago, but additional information is just surfacing about how the Bay Area senator’s office was infiltrated by a Chinese spy.
…The column revealed that the Chinese spy was Feinstein’s driver who also served as a gofer in her Bay Area office and was a liaison to the Asian-American community.
He even attended Chinese consulate functions for the senator.
Feinstein — who was Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee at the time — was reportedly mortified when the FBI told her she’d be infiltrated.
Investigators reportedly concluded the driver hadn’t leaked anything of substance and Feinstein forced him to retire.
Oh I’m sure he didn’t leak “anything of substance.”
I’m sure all she ever talked about in the car were plans for her daughter’s wedding.
…just jumped Elaine Chao and Mitch McConnell. God bless her, she rips back at them.
Dangerous, but don’t we ALL want to.

Man, I HATE these holier-than-thou, mendacious, anti-American sumbitches with a passion more every day.
There’d better be justice for the American citizen coming…SOMEWHERE…SOMEDAY…for at least ONE of these assholes.
UPDATE: More…

EPA Whistleblower Who Complained About Pruitt’s Spending Inflated Military Service Kevin Chmielewski complained about raises for Pruitt aides but did not disclose $24k in raises he received
An Environmental Protection Agency whistleblower whose complaints about travel and spending excesses by Administrator Scott Pruitt led Democrats to write a letter to President Trump citing “grave concerns” about Pruitt’s leadership appears to have inflated his service and accepted large raises during his tenure at the EPA.
Kevin Chmielewski, the whistleblower who recently spoke to House and Senate members about his concerns with Pruitt, apparently inflated his Coast Guard service on the resume he used to secure positions in the Trump administration by roughly three years, according to a comparison of his resume with a Coast Guard spokeswoman’s description of his service.
Additionally, Chmielewski benefitted from the same EPA hiring authority that he said EPA officials had used to dole out raises to two top Pruitt aides, according to knowledgeable sources and EPA documents.
Chmielewski received $24,000 in raises after just three to four months of service at the EPA, which neither he nor Democratic lawmakers have publicly disclosed even as the Democrats have cited his complaints about EPA spending on the two other staffers’ raises, according to sources and EPA documents confirming the raises.
Darndest thing lately. Whistle blowing knights in shining armor turning out to be disreputable, mendacious, self interested party operative turds themselves.
Broward County, Fla., school officials portray as a great success their Obama administration-inspired program offering counseling to students who break the law, instead of having them arrested or expelled. They insist that it played no role in February’s school massacre by Nikolas Cruz. They also claim that in fact juvenile recidivism rates are down and school safety is up, thanks to the program.
The evidence tells a far different story.
Broward County juvenile justice division records, federal studies of Broward school district safety and the district’s own internal reporting show that years of “intensive” counseling didn’t just fail to reform repeat offender Cruz, who allegedly went on to shoot and kill 17 people at his high school. Records show such policies have failed to curtail other campus violence and its effects now on the rise in district schools — including fighting, weapons use, bullying and related suicides.
Meanwhile, murders, armed robberies and other violent felonies committed by children outside of schools have hit record levels, and some see a connection with what’s happening on school grounds. Since the relaxing of discipline, Broward youths have not only brazenly punched out their teachers, but terrorized Broward neighborhoods with drive-by shootings, gang rapes, home invasions and carjackings.
Read the entire, well-documented, damning article.
“Nikki Haley relayed the message from Trump at an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Saturday. She says, “When our president draws a red line, our president enforces the red line.””
A group of students from Rockledge High School in Brevard County briefly walked out of class Friday to show their support for the Second Amendment.
About 75 students, according to a head count by school administrators, walked onto the school’s track carrying the American flag and signs that said “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” and “I support the right to bear arms.” The event lasted about 20 minutes and then students returned to class.
Deaton — who was wearing a T-shirt that read, “my rights don’t end where your feelings begin” — said the event was meant to clear misconceptions about the Second Amendment, not support or oppose any particular political stances.
Who could have imagined that the Chinese Government would fund their student groups here and provide helpful tips on what to think and how to act
When Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Washington on Sept. 24, 2015 on a state visit, hundreds of Chinese students lined the streets for hours, carrying banners and flags to welcome him. It was a remarkable display of seemingly spontaneous patriotism.
Except it wasn’t entirely spontaneous. The Chinese Embassy paid students to attend and helped organize the event. Working with Chinese Students and Scholars Associations (CSSAs) at local universities — a Chinese student organization with branches at dozens of schools around the country — government officials from the office of educational affairs at the Chinese Embassy in Washington collected the contact information of about 700 students who had signed up to attend. Embassy officials communicated with students via WeChat, a Chinese messaging app, during the event and into the night, responding to messages as late as 3 a.m.
…FP found that CSSAs regularly accept funds from their local consulates and many officially describe themselves as under the “guidance” or “leadership” of the embassy. Internal correspondence reviewed by FP also show that consular officials communicate regularly with CSSAs, dividing the groups by region and assigning each region to an embassy contact who is responsible for relaying safety information — and the occasional political directive — to chapter presidents. A few CSSAs explicitly vet their members along ideological lines, excluding those whose views do not align with Communist Party core interests.
