The Heritage Foundation has released its 2019 report on economic freedom around the world. In another win for PDJT’s administration the US rose 6 spots in the standings to #12.
The circus moves to Washington. During the 2018 campaign season the Democrats issued walking orders to their candidates to play down any talk of impeachment. Polling showed that impeachment talk was a negative for the Democrats. Supposedly they were going to govern, to bring civility back to Washington.
Of course, as soon as they won control of the House, those pretenses were dropped. The public and country be damned. Impeachment of PDJT is the #1 priority on their agenda. It overrides any and all other considerations. This is a key part of their campaign strategy for the run-up to the 2020 presidential campaign.
The circus came to Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Friday. As with all circuses there was a barker out there inviting people to see the mysteries within. In this case the barker was CNN who had a “hunch” that there might be something newsworthy going on. CNN flew a news crew down from Washington for this. Because of a “hunch?” It is amazing to watch these reporters spin these stories. Clearly some people had advance knowledge communicated to them about what was going to happen. The fact that CNN was on the receiving end of such info is telling in its own right.
The absolute insanity of the Covington Catholic High School debacle continues. For those with short memories, the media out and out lied about the Lincoln Memorial incident. A Catholic high school group, who were waiting for their bus after attending the annual March for Life, was the targets of two groups of leftist racists. These racists insulted them with all kinds of despicable slurs. This went on for over an hour. The kids responded with good-natured school-spirit chants, attempting to drown out the belligerent taunts. They didn’t respond with insults or any physical aggression of their own. They would have made Martin Luther King, Jr. proud by how they conducted themselves. When the busses arrived, they departed. We know what the media reported. ...
The Democrats have cancelled the State of the Union address scheduled for January 29th. Technically they dis-invited PDJT.
The government shutdown continues. I, for one, hope that it continues for a long time. A few years back, Washington was shut down for a week due to a blizzard. Nobody noticed. Not that I wish difficulties for those not receiving a paycheck. I certainly empathize with those families who must make difficult financial decisions. Rather a long shutdown would demonstrate what services we really need from the Federal Government and what we do not need. It would show everyone just how bloated the government is. I wonder if the left realizes what might happen if the shutdown lasts a long time. ...
PDJT welcomed the NCAA National Champion Clemson Tigers to the White House Sunday night. Of course , there is a government shutdown going on so the issue of food was problematic. Back in 2010 when Alabama won, no food was served despite the White House maitre d’ standing in the doorway to the State Dining Room.
The Federal government shutdown continues. While federal workers go without pay, what are Democratic lawmakers doing? Turns out they are partying in Puerto Rico with K Street lobbyists. As Paul Bedard noted:
On Tuesday evening PDJT went before the American public to make his case for the building of a border wall. Of course, getting airtime was not a guarantee. Most of the networks would rather do something else than provide PDJT with time to make his case. However, the MSM could not afford to have all the analysis coming from Fox News. So the networks caved and broadcasted his address.
The border wall has been in the news a lot lately since the Democrats refuse to allocate a single penny to protecting our southern border. As a result, there has been a partial shutdown of the Federal Government, not that anybody has noticed except those who are now without paychecks.
There has been a lot of smoke generated about this issue. The Dems will parade some illegal alien who just finished college as proof we should have open borders. Of course this is a far cry from just a decade ago when the Dems were all in for protecting the border. ...
