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:
As has been pointed out before, the left wants the American people to accept political violence as normal. Hatred and calls for violence from left wing activists are now so routine that few prominent people bother to condemn them.
Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi have constantly been urging their supporters to confront those who do not agree with their Marxist philosophy, to get in their faces in public, to harass them in restaurants, at department stores, at gas stations. Waters even extended this to harassing people in their homes. The goal is to silence those who disagree with them.
2018 has revealed on many levels the extent of the corruption in the DOJ and the FBI. Only people who have been completely brainwashed will fail to see this. Knowing how far back this went, as Sundance over at CTH noted recently, looking back at events that may have appeared not connected at the time may be seen differently now.
As Sundance has noted, the case of Marc Turi takes on a new perspective. Turi admits to a criminal history. He told Fox Business that in the late 1980s, he stole a computer, his roommate’s car, and wrote bad checks including one for $100,000. Through court records, Fox News verified he was arrested, convicted, and served time in an Arizona jail. Turi admitted “In my youth, I made some very, very bad mistakes…I was discharged from the United States Navy other under than honorable conditions…and I’ve been fighting ever since to get that honor back.” ...
Last week on the morning before the runoff election for the US Senate in Mississippi a number of hangman’s nooses were found hanging from trees near the State Capitol in Jackson. In addition, “hate” messages were found nearby.
Of course, this led to an immediate meltdown by the MSM and elite Democrats. Leftists knew immediately who was behind the horrific display: white supremacists who supported Sen. Hyde-Smith in her runoff election against Democrat Mike Espy.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller rolled back into the news cycle last week. He made charges that Paul Manafort lied to Congress in violation of his plea agreement. One has to ask why would Mueller go to the news with this now?
Recently, the president’s legal team had PDJT answer questions in writing. They delivered replies to some of the special counsel’s queries on Nov. 20 after months of negotiation. Is this ploy of claiming Manafort lied another desperate attempt by Mueller to remain relevant? Is he somehow trying to get Manafort to change his story so that Mueller can go after PDJT in some outlandish perjury trap? Remember you can be convicted of perjury even if you always told the truth.
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) raised some eyebrows last week when he once again resurrected the idea of banning and confiscating “assault rifles.” See here,hereand here. The fact that Swalwell is a card-carrying member of the anti-liberty movement should come as no surprise to anyone. He has proposed gun confiscation measures before.
He does not believe in the principle of property rights and very limited government. He is part of a group of politicians who believe that American politics is really the government versus the people. ...
The Democrats won control over the House of Representatives. What does this mean going forward?
An intellectually honest review of the possibilities must encompass what the Democrats have done in the recent past. The last time the Dems regained power in the House was in 2006 during Bush 43’s second term.
In doing this review one must keep in mind the Democrats’ 1stcommandment as noted by Dee Chadwell:
Back in 2006 the American public had not yet been primed for a Marxist-type social order. It was important to appear centrist while at the same time encouraging some political violence “against capitalism.” Nancy Pelosi said of the Occupy Wall Street violent anarchists, “God bless these people.” ...
The subject of political violence has jumped to the forefront of the news cycle. As most people know, a significant number of “devices” were mailed to Democrats and others this week. On Friday one Cesar Sayoc of Florida was arrested and charged in connection with these crimes.
There is an invading army headed to our southern border. A massive group, now estimated to be 10,000+ strong, appears to be headed toward the US/Mexico border from Honduras. While I am sure this group has men, women and children who dream of making a decent life in America, there are also many among them who are thinking of how they can ply their criminal trades in America. MS-13 regularly gets recruits from those who cross the border. Also, the Honduran government has already arrested some 100+ ISIS fighters who were among the group headed north. How many have escaped detection?
On TV recently Hillary Clinton claimed that the only way to return civility to American politics is to put Democrats back in power. Apparently Mrs. Clinton has spent considerable time out in the woods communing with the spirits. She ignored the fact that the Democrats had just tried to destroy Judge Kavanaugh’s reputation – based on what? A couple of unsubstantiated sexual misconduct accusations from nearly four decades ago, a bunch of nonsense from a high school yearbook, and some whiny complaints about the man’s tone in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee!
