As Certain As Day Follows Night | The Nations Response to Obama

I have yet to understand why the left hates the President so completely, but they do.  The next time you find yourself in that unhappy place where a lefty is bitching about Trump, ask them these 10 questions:


Has he proposed taking away our constitutional rights?
Have any of our rights disappeared?
Has he proposed higher taxes?
Has he caused the economy to fail?
Has he started any new wars?
Have minorities suffered more under his leadership?
Did he run guns into Mexico?
Did he direct the IRS to target enemies or non-profit groups?
Did he spy on other politicians or journalists?
Has he used the Justice Department to savage his enemies?

His only ‘sin’ was in humiliating the left and those within the entitlement culture.  I once heard that ‘elections have consequences’; that’s true.  It’s also true that Trump’s election is the consequence of our nation’s repudiation of Obama and his minions.

Will Republicans Ever Win the White House Again?

Three years ago today the main stream media thought the battle was over and that they had won the war. They thought that the power they held over the masses was so strong that never again would anyone challenge their narrative. They thought they had total control over a simple and mindless people.

Ladies and Gentlemen, via the wonders of the Intertubes (where nothing ever goes completely away) for your reading pleasure I give you the July 25, 2016 article in Newsweek. My snippet below, full article here.

With the Republican Party now saddled with Donald Trump as their presidential nominee and the party in total disarray as a result, the long-term damage to the GOP is growing, even if it keeps the name it has had since 1854.

No one who is a realist, including this author, now thinks Trump can win any “blue” state. And the odds of any 2012 “swing state” being gained by the Republican nominee seems extremely unlikely.

That would mean, at the least, Hillary Clinton would have the same result in the Electoral College that Barack Obama had in 2012, when the president won 332 electoral votes to Mitt Romney’s 206. And the danger to the Republican Party is far worse than that.

With the rapidly growing Latino and Hispanic population and vote in several “red” states, the odds are increasing that the Democrats could add North Carolina, Georgia and Arizona to their total, particularly with Trump’s hostile attitude toward Mexico and Mexicans.

His proposal for a wall on the Mexican border and his vicious attack on the judge presiding over the Trump University lawsuit, who happens to be a Mexican-American born in Indiana, ensures that Mexican-Americans, who are two-thirds of all Hispanics in America, will vote for Clinton in higher percentages than for Obama in 2012.

Add the growing Puerto Rican population, the second-highest Hispanic numbers in America, and it seems likely that the total Hispanic vote percentage for Clinton could be higher than the 71 percent for Obama in 2012. Clinton could carry all three states and add 42 electoral votes, making a total of 374 electoral votes against Trump’s 164.

But a bit more long range, Texas is likely to transform back into a “blue” state by 2024, while North Carolina, Georgia and Arizona will be even more heavily Latino and Hispanic than they are in 2016. So add 38 Texas electoral votes and Democrats get 412 electoral votes to 126 for the Republicans by 2024.

One can also add Indiana with its 11 electoral votes. Indiana, though likely to vote Republican in 2016, may become reliably “blue” by 2024 at the latest, given its growing Hispanic population. In 2008, Indiana even voted for Obama (though not in 2012). That would make for 423 electoral votes for the Democrats to 115 for the GOP.

Can’t We Leverage A Little Good Will?

Over at Breitbart there is an article that talks to Talib and Omar’s impending visit to Israel. Looks like they will let the moon-bats into the country, now if we can just leverage our goodwill and have them keep them? I’m guessing that the same propagandist crap we saw at our southern border (mistreatment, cages, and the drinking of toilet water) will shortly follow. The article reads, in part:

“Out of respect for the U.S. Congress and the great alliance between Israel and America, we would not deny entry to any member of Congress into Israel,” Dermer told the Haaretz daily on Friday.

Earlier in the week, the same paper reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would be tasked with deciding whether they would be let into the country, due to the sensitivity of the visit and its possible ramifications for Israeli-U.S. relations.

Officials later said that the prime minister would consult with the National Security Council.

Speaking to the Jewish Insider on Wednesday, Omar said that she and Tlaib were planning to visit Israel and the West Bank in “a few weeks.”

“Everything that I hear points to both sides feeling like there is still an occupation,” Omar told the paper.

Her comments were made after pushing a pro-BDS resolution in Congress, co-sponsored by Tlaib (D-Michigan) and Rep. John Lewis (D-Georgia), that seeks to “oppose unconstitutional legislative efforts” against boycotts. While the text does not mention the BDS movement by name, Omar admitted that the bill’s intention was to allow “an opportunity for us to explain why it is we support a nonviolent movement, which is the BDS movement.”

The text of the resolution cites examples of boycott movements against Nazi Germany, the USSR and apartheid South Africa, and also suggests that the BDS movement is comparable to the Boston Tea Party. “Boycotts have been effectively used in the United States by advocates for equal rights since the Boston Tea Party,”
