3 Critical Points In Hillary's Defeat

1. Her statement "What difference at this point does it make?" in her testimony about Benghazi where four Americans were killed including US Ambassador Chris Stevens: let us know she shouldn't be president.
2. Her pronouncement that half the American people are "deplorables": let us know she wouldn't be president.
3. Every moment since Nov 8

Trump Scoops CNN

Monday CNN reported a breaking, exclusive story: the FBI had tapped the phones of Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign manager, during the campaign and after the election. Manafort has a residence in Trump Tower. It has also come to light that Trump foreign affairs advisor, Carter Page, was also surveilled. It is a near certainty that Manafort and Page spoke to Trump during the surveillance period. And since almost anyone in the Obama Administration appears to have had the authority to have the identities of individuals who were "inadvertently" surveilled unmasked, Trump was also almost certainly indirectly wiretapped.

Back in March, President Trump claimed that President Obama had his phones tapped during the campaign. As a result of this new revelation, looks like he was probably right. Sorry CNN, Trump scooped this story 6 months ago.

Stop "Fighting For"; Start "Working For"

Is anyone else tired of hearing politicians say they are "fighting for" this, that or some other flippin' thing? How about "working for"? Unless it is a war, fighting isn't very productive and using those terms and having that mentality has to predispose one to being very uncooperative and unlikely to solve anything. BTW: HRC has been "fighting for" x, y, and z since she was at Wellesley. See what I mean?

The Real Achievement of Trump's Deal with Dems

Much ado is being made over Trump's deal with Schumer and Pelosi but most miss the point. Both the Democrat and Republican establishment have made it clear they oppose President Trump and his agenda on every point. The thing is the money for Houston and extending the debt limit were going to happen any way. Trump gave up nothing.

What he did do was embarrass Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan - hopefully into action. Trump may be laying the groundwork to rid the Republican Party of opposition to him and a bunch of "do nothing" establishment types.

With DACA and now the debt ceiling, Trump has given McConnell and Ryan time (yet again) to get their acts together. If the can't, 2018 and 2020 will be ugly for them. The establishment types, RINOs, and never Trumpers will lose their seats, not to Democrats, but rather Constitutional Conservative Republicans who want to make America great again.

A huge swath of the American people are against the Democrat Leftist ideology and the establishment Republican, liberal Democrat-light, Party ideology. They have caught on to the fact that they are ruining the country. They want smaller but effective government that is less intrusive in their daily lives.

Republican leaders McConnell and Ryan have been given a gift by Trump: time to repent and a choice: either get onboard or get out of the way. They can chose to be productive and help Trump enact the agenda he was elected to carry out or they can chose to continue to whine as they have been doing since 2008 when Obama was first elected. If they chose the latter, I predict Trump will support primary efforts against the internal Republican opposition and gain a true "working" majority in both the House and Senate in 2018 and 2020 along with a second term.

What say you readers?

Obama's DACA Was Brilliant - Unconstitutional but Brilliant

DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) was a brilliant move by President Obama. Even though he publicly said at least 7 times (it is documented on video) that he legally couldn't do it, he went ahead and eventually did it anyway. It took no effort on his part. He didn't have to expend any political capital. He didn't have to work with Congress or do anything to convince anyone. Since no one was actually being deported anyway, it did nothing to change anyone's life.

What DACA did do was create enormous goodwill for Obama and the Democrats. What it did do was  provide cover for Congress by preventing them from having to take a stand on the issue and possibly suffer the consequences at re-election time. What it did do was create a first step on a path to citizenship for 800,000 illegals and future Democrat voters. What it did do was violate the Constitution and create a situation that has now forced Republicans to do the right thing but end up appearing to be "the bad guys" for following our Constitution.

DACA was brilliant. Brilliant but unconstitutional yet still manages to achieve so many Democrat goals.

Here's a New Immigration Proposal Mr Trump!

I propose the following as part of President Trump's immigration policy: The Citizen Exchange Program. For every foreigner wishing to come to the US to help make it a better place and make a contribution, an America hating US citizen can exchange their citizenship in a one for one swap and then leave. The foreigner gets immediate citizenship; the American renounces theirs. In my opinion that would be a win-win. New citizens who appreciate all America has to offer would get their opportunity for a better life and we could offload a bunch of ingrates.

Do you think any high profile Libs, Hollywood elites, etc would take up the offer? Boy I sure hope so!
