  • Vanity - John McCain - Absent from Senate voting.

    01/22/2018 7:20:17 AM PST · by JLAGRAYFOX · 60 replies
    Republican Senator, John McCain is now on long term sick leave (is dying) and cannot represent the citizens & voters of the state of Alabama, because under Senate rules he has to be present in the Senate to cast a valid vote. One would think that McCain would have the decency, dedication, loyalty and conscience to gracefully resign and let an able person represent the voters & citizens of Arizona. But...McCain has no such will or focus within him...."SAD"!!! The Majority Leaders of the Senate, Mitch McConnell and/or, the Governor of Arizona should force McCain to resign, immediately and then...

    Started the day early, flipped on to see traffic and weather conditions...already the local MIAMI FLORIDA media is cranking up the Trump hating. Miami had one of those "Women" marches. The news said 4,000 showed up, but didn't offer any proof the number was that large. Lots of people holding nasty Trump signs and talking about how oppressed they are. The news couldn't find a SINGLE PERSON who disagreed with the anti-Trump sentiment NOR did the news report the record low unemployment rate for women or the number of women appointed to the Trump administration. Nope. Just one big two...

    WASHINGTON – California will take the next step in blurring the lines between citizens and non-citizens beginning April Fool’s Day when the state complies with a court order to begin automatically registering to vote all those who are granted driver’s licenses. The state has long provided driver’s licenses to all who simply claimed, without proof, that they were citizens of in the country legally. There were no checks made or documentation required. But beginning April 1 every person who gets a California driver’s license will be automatically entitled to vote.
  • Hopes for immigration deal fade as lawmakers trade barbs and denials on Trump’s use of vulgarity

    The Washington Compost ^ | January 14 at 6:07 PM | Mike DeBonis
    With the fate of hundreds of thousands of young immigrants in the balance, relations between key GOP and Democratic lawmakers turned poisonous Sunday over disagreement about President Trump’s use of a vulgarity to describe poor countries last week during an Oval Office meeting. Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and David Perdue (R-Ga.) — who attended the meeting and previously has said they could not recall whether Trump had referred to “shithole countries” — on Sunday denied outright that Trump had ever said it. They suggested that a Democrat who publicly confirmed the remarks, Senate Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin of Illinois,...
  • As a Harvard Law Student, Barack Obama Said Becoming Donald Trump Was The American Dream

    In 1991, Obama, a 29-year-old soon-to-be Harvard Law School grad, wrote a paper with a friend, Robert Fisher, called “Race and Rights Rhetoric.” Obama summed up the average American’s mindset with the following sentence: "I may not be Donald Trump now, but just you wait; if I don't make it, my children will." This quote came to light following the publishing of Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama, a new 1,460-page biography of the former U.S. president by David J. Garrow. That law paper was previously unpublished. Here’s the full excerpt: “[Americans have] a continuing normative commitment to the...

    President Trump announced late Wednesday that he had disbanded his controversial "election integrity" commission and blamed a refusal by more than a dozen states to provide what he called "basic information." "Rather than engage in endless legal battles at taxpayer expense, today President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order to dissolve the Commission, and he has asked the Department of Homeland Security to review its initial findings and determine next courses of action," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement. The commission, led by Vice President Mike Pence and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, had...
  • My thoughts on what will happen when NPV goes into effect

    01/03/2018 11:35:20 AM PST · by Mafe · 46 replies
    NPV was started back in 2007. Never mind that it already violates the law - as I understand states must get Congressional approval before entering into contracts that affect the federal government. So far, ever since 2007, the Democrat has won the popular vote in every presidential election and in every NPV state. When NPV gets enough states to reach 270, there will be a situation where one candidate wins the popular vote in a state but is denied the electoral votes from that state because of NPV. This alone would be enough to cause a lawsuit, and on top...

    Losing Senate candidate and accused pedophile Roy Moore wants to void the Alabama election results, citing an "unusual" number of black voters. Some people simply do not know when to give up. One such person is rejected Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore. Faced with accusations that he stalked and molested teenage girls, as well as his views that women and Muslims should be ineligible for office and that America has not been “great” since the abolition of slavery, Moore lost a race that should have been completely safe for Republicans to Democrat Doug Jones, a former U.S. attorney and civil...

  • Surprisingly, Republicans and Conservatives Shouldn’t Fear a National Popular Vote

    Right Wing News ^ | December 12, 2017 | Rachel Alexander
    Republicans are hesitant to switch from our winner-take-all state laws allocating electors to the electoral college to using the National Popular Vote. The National Popular Vote Plan would award all of a state’s electors to the candidate who wins the most popular votes in all fifty states. There is a fear that such a move will benefit Democrats, since Democrats won the popular vote even though they lost the elections in 2000 and 2016. But the truth is, Republicans are likely going to lose their ability to win the necessary swing state of Florida in the future, and they can...

    A GOP victory in Alabama may be more costly than a defeat ....A Moore victory would keep the GOP Senate majority at 52, which seems to explain the unfortunate decision this week by President Trump and the Republican National Committee to endorse Mr. Moore. But victory would come at considerable cost. The Senate would be obliged to seat him, and the allegations would surely be referred immediately to the Ethics Committee, which is already vetting the sexual misconduct of Minnesota Democrat Al Franken. Depending on what the committee finds, there could be a vote to censure or expel Mr. Moore....

    THEODORE, Alabama — At a rally in a small church outside Mobile in Theodore, Judge Roy Moore—the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate—fought off allegations against him and rallied supporters to his side with two weeks to go in the race. Moore used the speech to frame the election as bigger than between himself and his radical Democrat opponent Doug Jones—whose leftist positions he exposed from the pulpit—and to set his campaign on track for the final two weeks of campaigning ahead of the Dec. 12 general election. Moore opened his speech saying, “On January 17, 1776, George Washington led the...

    Thousands of felons across Alabama have registered to vote in recent weeks, according to Pastor Kenneth Glasgow, who is heading up a statewide effort to get felons to the voting booth. Glasgow's goal is to get as many felons as possible signed up to vote before the end of the day Monday, the deadline to be able to cast a ballot in Alabama's Dec. 12 U.S. Senate special election. "In the last month, I think we registered at least five- to ten-thousand people all over the state," Glasgow, president of Dothan's The Ordinary People Society (TOPS) advocacy group, said Monday....

    Melania Trump responded Monday to a Vanity Fair article claiming that she didn’t want to be First Lady, basting the magazine as part of the “liberal media.” “Once again part of the liberal media, this time Vanity Fair, has written a story riddled with unnamed sources and false assertions. As a magazine tailored to women it is shameful that they continue to write salacious and false stories meant to demean Mrs. Trump, rather than focus on her positive work as First Lady as a supportive wife and mother,” said a spokeswoman for Melania Trump in a statement to CNN. “As...

    MIAMI — Grisel Robles arrived in Miami in late September, after Hurricane Maria flooded her house and wiped out the life she and her family had. Starting a new job and rebuilding her life, along with her husband and 6-month-old daughter, has left little time to focus on politics. But she is taking note of one aspect of the political landscape. "I have noticed who is defending our rights as Puerto Ricans," she said. It could very well be that Puerto Ricans like Robles are the deciding factor in the Florida Senate race and a number of other key races....
