Friends, both parties are in the sprint to the finish line in 2018, and it's getting ugly out there! This week Brian O'Neil and I break down the midterms, and we cover all the hot button topics in the news -- even the question of table manners when dining with the Senate Majority Leader... Don't miss it!

Dr. Waddy: I wouldn't blame the President for taking any electoral advantage he deserves for defending our border.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion: Dems embrace illegal immigration because they are with Obama in considering America a negative and destructive factor in the life of the world. Accordingly, anything hastening both its deserved punishment and its "fundamental transformation" is to be welcomed. Accordingly, opening our borders and flouting our laws (discrediting thereby our law making process)is much to be desired. Any Dems who have misgivings on this are afraid to assert them. Thank God the President has guts.
There certainly should be criminal charges leveled at the anarchist thugs who confronted McConnell. You know there would be had Hillary been so wronged.
"Jobs not mobs" works for me. Of course the left is a mob. It is propelled by volcanic anger and hatred at being resisted and oh how they smart at President Trump's mockery of them. The self righteous are always beside themselves when "unendurable" humor is made of their haughty declarations - the poor dears.
I'm not concerned about Rosie O'Donnell becoming Chairman of the Joint Chiefs (though I'm sure Hillary would have considered it after making waiters out of Marines)but gee, isn't wishing that the military would "get" the President in the White House an actionable declaration of support for the overthrow of the U.S. government? Perhaps she ought to be publicly advised of this by the Secret Service? Puffed up strutters like her are often effectively deflated by giving them to clearly understand that the rules apply to them too.
Its understandable that the Washington Post, the overriding purpose of which is, as ever, the promotion of the left wing cause, would see in the Khashoggi situation yet another opportunity to raise generalized hob from which presently unspecified advantage may be derived; its an old proven tactic on their purely partisan part. They've never gotten over the afterglow from Watergate ( "we got Tricky Dick, so we can get this punk").
I wonder if the memory of how intermediate range missiles in Cuba, with their five minute transit time (ok, five minutes or fifteen minutes, who cares, right? But it did make a difference to Kennedy back then and almost got us all highly inconvenienced)may have influenced the Intermediate Range Missile Treaty. Nonetheless, I really like the President's willingness to confront possible flouting of the Treaty.
I don't know about present Texas or Federal law in this regard but I know Johnson ran both for Senator and Vice President in 1960. The Dems will have gone pure Hollywood if they advance O'Rourke after a loss to Ted Cruz. If he beats Cruz he may be seen as another Obama. But our President is no RINO.
Jack, I'm at a disadvantage, since I don't watch tv news and thus have never seen O'Rourke speak. I doubt I would be impressed, though. The Dems swooned over Obama, and he didn't seem either charming or articulate to me. A decent front man -- that's it.
ReplyDeleteYou're very perceptive at getting to the root of the Left's fondness for illegal immigration. They can't abide America in its present form, and thus its demographic transformation is priority number one. When lefties aren't celebrating illegal immigration, I hear many of them declaring baldly that they look forward to the deaths of stodgy old Republicans. And they say these things without a lick of shame!
I especially loathe the Washington Post. Not only is it irredeemably leftist and biased, but it's at the forefront of the campaign to use the politics of personal destruction against individual conservatives and Republicans. Note that the media's interest in allegations against the good guys collapses as soon as those allegations become politically or electorally irrelevant too. If I were the FBI, I would be looking into whether the Post is knowingly spreading false and libelous information about Republicans and members of the administration. I'd be surprised if it isn't.
I'm still waiting for criminal charges re: the Steele dossier, FISA abuse, FBI leaks, etc. I sincerely hope a new special prosecutor is coming after the election. Among other things, he should put Mueller and his team under the microscope.
Dr. Waddy: Trump will still be President; does he have the authority to appoint a Special Prosecutor to prosecute charges on the issues you cite? If the Dems take the House, such an appointment could afford a powerful counterweight to the fully predictable tidal wave of inquisition to be at hand. If they don't take it, the President may still do it, partly in order to put the Mueller probe in proper perspective and advance its discreditation.
ReplyDeleteGood question, Jack. I don't believe the President has that power, no, but he does have complete discretion in hiring and firing people in the Justice Department, and they have the authority to appoint as many special prosecutors as they like... I would guess that, either Sessions and Rosenstein will get with the program, or they'll be looking for work.
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy: That makes sense. Civil War II is far from over, regardless of the results in this year's election. The real America will not fold.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Civil War II, it will be fascinating to see who's responsible for these bombs sent to leading Dems. I do not for a minute discount the possibility that it could be a liberal, but it's useless to speculate. Whoever it is, a firing squad would be too good for them.
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy: I'm waiting to see how this develops. The perpetrator(s)appears to be either incompetent or eager to be caught (in order, perhaps to have an effect on the midterms).His or her background could even be ambiguous. The left will of course hasten to make hay regardless; Andrew Cuomo no doubt feels a monumental expectoration of righteous gas coming on and will presently give birth to another pompous neo-Phillipic (which he will swear is consensus in his fief because he really thinks it is).
ReplyDeleteYes, the leftist bloviating was inevitable, but they had better be wary, because the nature of the "bomber" might surprise us. One key question: were the bombs actually designed to go off, or just to look like bombs?
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy: Agreed and it is one of many factors in this situation of which we have yet to know. The left is not possessed of superhuman perception. That they may be the provenance of this outrage or that they may err badly in trying to use it to their advantage is very plausible. We cannot yet know what facts may have been determined by election day and by whom and it could prove to be that the left intends its reaction to serve a post election purpose.
ReplyDeleteJack, what sends shivers up my spine is this: if Hillary had won in 2016, how would HER government have reacted to such parcel bombs sent to Dems? Would you or I still be at liberty, or would we be interned as suspects?
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy: She would certainly have striven from day one to direct law enforcement and judgement to the goal of making now legitimate political activity of which she disapproves thoroughly criminal.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt that's true, Jack, but maybe on second thought it wouldn't have been so bad. We have Obama to thank for the Republican majorities in Congress and most state legislatures, after all. Maybe a Hillary presidency would have killed off the Democratic Party for good! Better not to risk it, though...
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy: She is yet possessed of a terribly vindictive and personal commitment to the reformation of America as per her perceptions of justice. In power she would display a singular and fanatic devotion to this, her lifelong purpose, strengthened by her travails along the way. We were delivered in 2016, I hope.
