Partisan Politics at its Worst in the Washington Cesspool!

Merriam Webster definition of Partisan: a firm adherent to a party, faction, cause or person: especially one exhibiting blind, prejudiced and unreasoning allegiance: example – political partisans who only see one side of the problem

I have been closely watching current events and their effects on the US economy for over fifty years. During all this time it seemed to me that partisan politics steadily went to even more extreme levels than it was in previous years. This was especially noticeable beginning in the 70’s and it seemed to always peak around national elections. The advent of cell phones, computers, the internet and cable TV made partisan politics much more visible and gave partisan politicians a very “public platform” to promote their, and/or their party’s agendas. As this “public platform” became “24/7 and 365” more politicians, especially on the national level realized that they could use it to promote their personal agendas, not just their party’s. This is how the “Washington Cesspool” became so full of politicians who are obsessed with their own personal WEALTH and POWER!  And they will say or do anything to amass and hold on to personal wealth and power, especially the POWER.

A study referred to in a Wikipedia article, the “American National Election Study”, came to the same conclusion that I described above regarding partisan politics in America. The “Study”, which began in 1952, concluded that over 60 years, “the meaning of the term (partisan politics) in America has changed dramatically over the last 60 years”. The “Study” concluded that originally a person’s voting record determined if they were partisan. Now it is defined as a person who is psychologically attached to an agenda or party platform. Based on the Left’s behavior today that works for me.

The change in partisan politics from support for party platform planks to personal aggrandizement and ideology is by far the most visible on the Left side of politics in America. The Left (Democrats, RINO Republicans and the MSM) are so obsessed with their personal agendas that they will not let anything, including our Constitution interfere with their efforts to expand their personal power. In fact, they see our Constitution as the main thing standing between them and their personal agendas! They are so obsessed with destroying our Constitution they have taken their open attacks on our Constitution to unprecedented levels, and with the eager assistance of the MSM, they are flaunting it! Here are a few recent examples:

  • The Electoral College: People on the left have been working to destroy this core part of our Constitutional Republic election process for 20 years. Kristian Gillibrand, a New York Senator and Democratic candidate for president recently announced that she was going to introduce an amendment to a bill in congress to eliminate it! Ten states with liberal elected officials have passed, or introduced, state laws that change the way their states electors are allocated to candidates. These laws are in direct violation of our Constitution, but the Left does not care and insist this is a battle they can win.
  • Free Speech: Christiane Amanpour, during a CNN interview with James Comey asked why the FBI did not shut down “hate speech” like “lock her up”. She insisted that “hate speech” like that coming from the Trump campaign was “dangerous” and should be shut down. She only referenced “hate speech” coming for the Trump campaign, nothing about the blatant lies and accusations the Left is constantly spewing.
  • Religious Freedom: This freedom has been under constant attack for decades but during the past few years they seem to be especially focused on practicing Christians, while the Left is loudly insisting that people who are Muslims be protected from any form of discrimination.
  • Freedom of the Press: The Obama Administration illegally wire tapped Fox News reporter James Rosen and his family because they did not like his reporting as part of the White House Press Corps. This illegal spying on an American citizen morphed into a massive attack on many American’s “Freedom of Speech” when it became S.O.P. with the Obama Administration, especially during his second term. Practically everyone that publicly opposed the Left’s agenda was targeted. Not only did the Obama administration illegally spy on an untold number of American’s communications, their names and selected parts of their communications that could be used against them politically were “leaked” to members of the media that shared the Left’s views. This included the Trump campaign headquarters in Trump Tower! After the November 2016 election Obama ordered all US intelligence agencies to ramp up their surveillance efforts on the Trump campaign and transition team.
  • Gun Control: This Freedom has been under constant attack on a national, state and local level for decades. In recent years it has developed into a national movement with many organized and heavily funded groups working full time to destroy this freedom bit by bit. Their latest organized effort is to destroy the NRA financially. They are putting huge pressure on all financial institutions, insurance companies, manufacturers, large retail conglomerates and sporting goods companies to refuse to do business with the NRA, or associate with the NRA in any way. This effort is beginning to yield results and could destroy the NRA. The NRA is, in affect the last thing standing between us and the elimination of our Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. As usual the Left wants a double standard for themselves and us. The “elite” can afford to live and work in places that have security systems, and in many places armed guards, but they do not think those of us in “Middle America (deplorables) should have the right to “own and bear arms”.
  • In one of my past articles I wrote about the Obama administration “stacking the deck” against Conservatives, especially after the November 2016 election. The Obama Administration’s policy was to hire as many Federal employees as possible and promote as many Federal employees as possible to positions of power in every Federal agency and department. After President Trump was elected Obama ordered every Federal agency and department to accelerate their hiring and promotion efforts to assure there were as many “Obamaites” (Obama worshipers and Trump haters) as possible in our Federal government. These people are still sabotaging the Trump administration every day in every way possible. One example that is happening right now is Congressman Elijah Cummings, Chair of the House Oversight Committee grossly misusing his position to promote claims made by a White House “whistle blower” (an Obamaite) that President Trump violated White House security approval procedures. According to the “Obamaite” the President ordered that dozens of his staff members, including members of his family be immediately given high level security clearances so they could begin work in his administration. Where were these “Security Officials” during the time between the election in November and the January 19 Presidential inauguration? This is just one of many constant examples of ranking Democrats continuing to use positions of power to unethically, and in many cases, illegally work at trying to destroy the Trump Presidency.

The double standard of justice in the Washington Cesspool is becoming even more visible!

What I have noted here is just more evidence that what I wrote about in previous articles was correct. The Left is totally obsessed with total power over everyone and everything in America and will go to any lengths to accomplish that. The first step in achieving that goal is to shred our Constitution. If they accomplish that America will be “Fundamentally Changed” FOREVER!

We cannot let any of this happen! Many times over the years I have talked about how brilliant and far seeing our Founding Fathers were! This is one of those times. I still wonder how they developed and got a Constitution ratified over 200 years ago that is still so relevant and strong in today’s world!

The Left Cannot Wait Until the New Congress is Sworn In on the 5th of January to Make Fools of Themselves

Thanks to the Democrats, RINO Republicans and MSM America is in a growing state of chaos ten days after the mid-term elections were supposed to be over!

It has been ten days since the mid-term election polls closed and we still have undecided federal and state elections, with numerous deadlines being missed and many FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS BEING OPENLY VIOLATED! In a number of these elections the loser does not have a valid path to victory, but they refuse to concede and continue to have lawyers pile up lawsuit after lawsuit trying to change the election results. We also had elections, like Arizona where the Conservative candidate had a comfortable lead when the polls closed but days later the hard-Left candidate was declared the winner by a comfortable margin. It is interesting to me that in every one of the contested elections the majority of the ballots that were “found” were Democrat! Some ballots are still being “found”!

The Democrats in the House of Representatives are in a verbal battle over who will be “Speaker of the House”.

The Democrats in the House of Representatives are running in every direction to get in front of TV cameras to talk about what they are going to do in their new role as the majority party in the House of Representatives.

The Democrats in the Senate are running in every direction to get in front of TV cameras to talk about what they are going to do as they work with the Democrat majority in the House of Representatives to “defeat everything Trump”. The Democrats in the Senate seem to have forgotten that the Senate is known as the “upper chamber” for a reason. The Senate can override practically everything the House may try to do, like trying to impeach the President or Judge Kavanaugh.

RINO Republican Jeff Flake, who is “retiring”, joined with a Senate Democrat to hold a press conference to announce that he will join with the Democrats to block every judge that is waiting on Senate approval unless Congress passes a bill to “protect” Mueller from President Trump. This is beyond comprehension! Flake is “retiring” because it was obvious to everyone that it was doubtful that he could get re-elected because of his anti-Trump activity during the 2016 elections.

RINO Republican Jeff Flake is also getting in front of every TV camera he can find to denigrate the President’s decision to send troops to help the Border Patrol secure our southern border. He is using some of the Democrat’s and MSM’s favorite terms like calling it a “stunt” that is “preventing those troops from spending the holidays with their families” and saying the caravans are not a “threat”. Note to Flake: One part of one caravan is already in Tijuana Mexico trying to get into California to take advantage of the states pro-immigrant policies. If they succeed it will be like the “opening of the flood gates” on a large damn that will rush in the tens of thousands of people in the additional caravans following the illegals already at our border.

Representative Adam Schiff is getting in front of every TV camera he can find to talk about all the subpoenas the Democrats are going to issue to “investigate everything Trump”. The phrase that is being used to describe this plan by the MSM is, “the Democrats are loading their subpoena cannon”.

Representative Maxine Waters, who does not live in her district, made a public statement that as Chairperson of the House Financial Services Committee, “the days of being easy on banks are over” (whatever that means?). Does she want to recreate the housing market crash that Bill Clinton created by forcing banks to make loans to people who were not eligible for them and could not pay them back? This is the Congress Woman who illegally funneled bank bail-out funds to a minority owned bank in California that she and her husband owned stock in and her husband was a member of the bank’s Board of Directors. Even though what she did was blatantly illegal the Congressional Ethics committee declined to censor her in any way. Note: The Congressional ethics Committee has an equal number of Democrat and Republican members virtually assuring that no one in Congress will be censored for anything. It was designed to protect all members of Congress, not to assure that they are ethical.

Practically everyone in the MSM loudly and happily talked about how “bitter and withdrawn Trump is over losing the House majority”. While they were doing this President Trump was holding a White House press conference announcing his support for bi-partisan legislation that would enact prison reform and criminal sentencing reform to correct some of the serious problems created in our justice system by Bill Clinton’s “three strikes and you are out” legislation. This bill will do a lot to reduce the number of people in our prison system and help many people who do go to jail become productive members of our communities when they get out of jail. President Trump was surrounded at the press conference by bi-partisan members of Congress and representatives of influential law enforcement and prison staff organizations. This bill has passed the House with bi-partisan support and President Trump promised to sign it when the Senate passes it and sends it to his desk.

Unfortunately, these examples are just a small sample of how obsessed the Left is with their plans to destroy the Trump Presidency (RESIST and OBSTRUCT) and make America be part of their dream of a “One World Order”. As I wrote last week, it is going to be really interesting to watch the “news” from now until the November 2020 elections!

The Democrat’s and MSM’s Irrational Behavior is Becoming More Extreme Every Day!

Every day that we get closer to the November 6 mid-term elections the Left’s behavior becomes more extreme, anti-American and desperate. This tells me that they are lying about their supposed “blue wave”. Here are some recent examples:

  • MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brezezinski talked about using the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office. She said, “at some point, you are working for a president who is not fit to lead, who is going to do something crazy in five minutes, one hour, tonight or tomorrow”.
  • Don Lemon on CNN talked about President Trump’s appearance! He even said, “Does he not own a mirror”!
  • A four person CNN panel talked about Trump supporters at his rallies in very negative terms.
  • A Democratic Party Executive Director in Pennsylvania was forced to resign when someone discovered that he posted on Face Book over a year ago that he, “Stood for the flag and knelt at the alter”. He is a Marine veteran who also posted about his support for police officers.
  • Mary Bono, the interim CEO of the USA’s Olympics Gymnastics program was forced to resign five days after she was appointed when someone pointed out that she tweeted a negative photo about the Nike logo and Colin Kaepernick in September.
  • In a speech at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics Nancy Pelosi said that the wall was a manhood issue for President Trump. She actually said, “It happens to be like a manhood issue for the president, building a wall, and I’m not interested in that”.
  • Ted Cruz was verbally assaulted in an airport by two women because he voted for Judge Kavanaugh. Cruz’s response was priceless. He said, “Thank you for expressing your First Amendment rights” and “God bless you, ma’am”.
  • Two Republican’s running for office in Minnesota were physically assaulted in unprovoked public attacks. One sustained a concussion when he was blindsided in a bar. The other one sustained bruises on her upper arm.
  • After ANTIFA and BLM members vandalized the “Metropolitan Republican Club” late last week NY Governor Cuomo publicly called for the FBI and NY City police to investigate the Republicans for “inciting a riot”!
  • Natalie Mayflowers Sours Edwards is a senior official in the Treasury Department’s “Financial Crimes Enforcement Network”. She was arrested and charged with leaking confidential banking reports to a reporter. When she was arrested she had a flash drive that contained confidential reports involving Paul Manafort.
  • While discussing Donald Trump’s public statements about Saudi Arabia’s possible involvement in the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi on CNN Jake Tapper said that President Trump is tougher on Taylor Swift than he is on Saudi Arabia.
  • In a speech at a political rally with Senator Warren, Stacy Abrams, the Democratic candidate in the Georgia Governor race said that the “blue wave” includes everyone. She said, “It is made up of those who’ve been told that they are not worthy of being here. It is comprised of those who are documented and undocumented”.
  • LaDawn Blackett Jones, a municipal court prosecutor in South Fulton county Georgia offered everyone who had a case before the court to have their fines reduced by $50 dollars if they registered to vote or proved that they were already registered to vote. Tiffany Sellers, the court judge agreed to the reduction in fines offer and denied that it was illegal. However an election law attorney said that it was a violation of state and federal law to offer anything of value in exchange for a person registering to vote. Court records for that day indicate that there were 110 cases on Judge Tiffany Sellers docket and approximately 90% took the reduction in fine.

As noted above this list is just a sample of what the Left said and did over the last few days. To put this into perspective Brietbart News recently published a “rap sheet” listing 600 incidences of violence and harassment toward Conservatives and Trump supporters.

As I wrote last week, “ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES! Vote Republican on November 6! Early voting begins in Georgia on October 15! 37 states and the District of Columbia have some form of early voting. This is one of the most important elections of our lifetime!”

I am totally convinced that these mid-term elections will determine America’s future for many years to come. I got a sample ballot on Monday and then came home and researched everything on the ballot. I already knew every person on the ballot and that I was going to vote a straight Republican ticket, but I was not knowledgeable about the proposed State Constitutional Amendments or other Referendums on the ballot. After doing my research I went back and voted on Tuesday comfortable that I had made the right choices. Please do the same and VOTE Republican!

“Elections Have Consequences”! Vote Republican on November 6, 2018!

I thought the Democrats had “hit the bottom” in disgusting behavior during the Kavanaugh hearings and final vote for his Supreme Court appointment. But now they are claiming it is the Republicans who were and are “uncivil”!

I am finding it increasingly hard to understand how so many people in America could be so irrational? I do not understand it when Hillary and other people on the Left are irrational to the point of being outright dishonest and openly anti-American. But everywhere I look I see people being that irrational. Here are a few recent examples:

  • Christian Amanpour did a CNN exclusive with Hillary Clinton recently. During the interview Hillary said, “we cannot be civil with a party who wants to destroy everything we stand for and care about”. She then said that when they win the House and/or the Senate in November and take back control of Washington they can force some civility back into the political process! The party that is pushing outright anarchy and open warfare on our Constitution is now claiming to be the “civil party” in America!
  • Tom Steyer is an old white Silicon Valley billionaire who has pledged $500 million of his own money to promote the impeachment of President Trump. He recently joined the chorus of “privileged” people in America who are saying publicly that “privileged white men are the problem in America”.
  • Maxine Waters said publicly that President Trump is violent in his speeches and inciting violence.
  • Former A.G. Eric Holder said during a political rally that the Democrats need a new rallying cry. He talked about Michele Obama saying, “when they go low we go high”. He then said that is no longer right and said, “when they go low we KICK EM”! Eric Holder has said publicly that he is thinking about running for President in 2020.
  • Don Lemon and Chris Matthews on CNN attacked President Trump’s recent rally speeches and defended the disruptive, and in many cases violent, protest about Judge Kavanaugh. They said the protesters were not being mobs but were just people exercising their freedom of speech rights. As usual the Left only likes the Constitution when it works for them.
  • Senator Kamala Harris questioned the Director of the FBI during a recent Senate committee hearing about why he was not pursuing charges against Judge Kavanaugh for lying under oath? Not a word from anyone asking that about Dr. Ford? Senator Harris is just one of many on the Left who are going public with plans to impeach Judge Kavanaugh. Kamala Harris is thinking about running for President.
  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democrat Socialist running for Congress in NY City has joined others on the Left, including Hillary, who are calling for the Electoral College to be removed from our Constitution. This is just one more example of the Left only liking the Constitution when it works for them. Bill Clinton won the White House in 1992 with just 43 per cent of the popular vote (less than Trump’s 46 per cent). Clinton appointed two Supreme Court Justices who were confirmed by the Senate (including Republicans votes), with no nasty protest. One of the appointments was the radical Left Ruth Bader Ginsberg!
  • The Mueller investigation continues to drag on with it being obvious that it is, and has been, AN INVESTIGATION LOOKING FOR A CRIME, NOT AN INVESTIGATION OF A CRIME! This is a direct violation of the FBI’s DIOG (Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide) that was approved when Mueller WAS THE DIRECTOR OF THE FBI! This investigation began illegally during the Obama Administration. The Obama Administration had an ethical and legal obligation to inform the Trump campaign that they believed that the Trump campaign had a Russian spy working on the campaign, but it did not do that. Instead it illegally opened an investigation into an opposing political candidate’s campaign using false data paid for by the candidate the Administration was supporting. In addition to not notifying the Trump campaign about its “concerns”, the Obama Administration also failed to notify Congress about its “concerns”. This is another violation of the DIOG and our Constitution regarding Congress’s “advice and consent” role in our government. Susan Rice participated in an investigation that illegally spied on Americans, then illegally “unmasked” Americans and then denied she did that under oath! Now she is thinking about running against Susan Collins for her Senate seat.

“ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES”! Vote Republican on November 6! Early voting begins in Georgia on October 15! 37 states and the District of Columbia have some form of early voting. This is one of the most important elections of our lifetime!

 

We Are One Election Away From Saving America or the End of America!

The “gloves are off”! The Democrats are not even trying to hide their “destroy America Agenda” now. They are that obsessed with keeping and building their POWER. Without their POWER they cannot constantly feed their insatiable egos and add to their wealth. And unfortunately it is not just the Democrats in the Washington Cesspool. It is the self-appointed Washington elite, the so called Hollywood elite, the RINO Republicans, college professors and administrators (especially the elite liberal college and law school professors and administrators), all the spoiled kids who are being brain washed by liberal teachers and professors (in some cases beginning in grade school) and the Main Stream Media. The Judge Kavanaugh nomination to the Supreme Court by President Trump has suddenly made all the America haters see President Trump as what he really is. The first real threat to their POWER in decades, which is the first real threat to their decade’s long personal obsession with “fundamentally changing” America!

When Judge Kavanaugh was nominated to the Supreme Court everyone on the “LEFT” also realized that the November 6 elections are the next “last stand” for them and the rest of us in America who opposes them. If he is approved it will be another loud and clear signal to the world that Middle America has had enough of the Washington Cesspool and wants it to change. The election of Donald Trump to the Presidency of the United States of America became the symbolic opening shot in the final battle in the long running war between the Left and the Right for America. The appointment of Judge Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court will be an equally loud shot in this war. 

As Sean Hannity said last night the Democrats no longer believe in, “due process, the rule of law or the Constitution”.  He is spot on in that analysis. It also appears to me that the Left believes that there are no longer any consequences for anything they choose to do to maintain their POWER in Washington. I believe that this last part about there not being any consequences for anything that they choose to do is really a last desperate shot at staying in POWER, and proof that they are LOSING!

As I wrote last week the effort to destroy the Kavanaugh appointment is the most organized and dirty political effort I ever recall seeing in my lifetime. U.S. Senators disgustingly attacked this man for over 32 hours over two days with him staying totally professional the entire time, in spite of the added distractions of paid, irrational protesters constantly disrupting the hearings and attacking conservative Senators. The Democrat Senators even withheld a confidential letter with unsubstantiated decades old allegations against Judge Kavanaugh until it was obvious they could not stop Judge Kavanaugh from being appointed. Then they launched an all-out carefully coordinated attack intended to destroy this man and his family, with the eager assistance of the RINO Republicans and MSM. When that did not work they took their efforts national and even leaked the confidential letter and compelled the accuser to go public. When this happened it became public that the accuser had already gone public with interviews with selected news outlets and was represented by a number of high profile hard Left lawyers. When the Republicans finally got her, with two of her lawyers to testify before the committee debating Kavanaugh’s appointment she was probably the worst witness I have ever seen! When it became obvious that even this would not stop Kavanaugh’s appointment the Democrats, with the help of the RINO Republicans and MSM started a new tactic. They demanded another FBI background investigation and insisted on delaying, delaying, delaying Kavanaugh’s final up or down vote in the Senate. When it became apparent that the 7th FBI investigation into Judge Kavanaugh’s background would not produce any evidence that he was guilty of anything that would prevent him for being confirmed, they launched a new attach insisting that he did not have the “temperament” to be a Supreme Court Justice. This was based on him forcefully defending himself and his family when he testified before the committee after his accuser had failed miserably to deliver verifiable testimony to the committee that he had been a drunk and sexual predator when he was in high school. Now that the 7th FBI background check has been delivered to the White House and Senate without uncovering any new evidence that Kavanaugh is unfit to be a Supreme Court Justice the Democrats and their supporters are now insisting that the 7th FBI background check was inadequate! Delay, Delay, Delay!

The news about the “Lefts” disgusting and in many cases desperate criminal efforts to stop this nomination is overwhelming! One glaring example of how far the “Left” will go to destroy the Kavanaugh nomination was the FBI arrest of a congressional aid to Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee on FELONY DOXXING charges. He published the private confidential phone numbers and home addresses (in Washington and their home states) of three ranking Republican Senators on social media putting them and their families at risk of physical harm! It should also be noted that this staffer previously worked for two Democrat Senators including Barbara Boxer!

Another glaring example of how far the Left will go to destroy the Kavanaugh nomination happened earlier this week on a Texas University campus. A group of pro-Kavanaugh students organized a rally on campus in support of Judge Kavanaugh. They were quickly surrounded by a much larger and angry group of anti-Kavanaugh students who tore the rally attendee’s posters from their hands, ripped them to shreds and threw the pieces back at the Kavanaugh supporters while screaming at them. As usual the campus police and administrators were “invisible and silent”. Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson are correct when they say the Left hates FREE SPEECH unless it agrees with them!

As I said above we are one election away from losing the “war for America”. We can win this war by keeping control of the House and Senate on November 6 and even better by adding to the Republican majority in both!  Vote on November 6 and vote Republican!
