  • Vanity - Elections, New Jersey, Virginia & Alabama, not good news for Democrats?

    12/31/2017 1:10:42 AM PST · by JLAGRAYFOX · 58 replies
    Democrats are predicting a massive wave political victory in the upcoming 2018 Mid-Term elections. Citing their victories in New Jersey, Virginia & Alabama, this year, as positive proof of their forthcoming victories in 2018. "WRONG"!!! Why? New Jersey was a no brainer. A Democrat dog catcher, man or woman would have won NJ with their eyes closed. Virginia, first of all, Governor Terry McAuliffe, one of the biggest political Cheaters/Criminal of all time did his best act. He was lucky because the "weak" Republican candidate, Ed Gilliespie, shunned the support of POTUS, Donald J. Trump. As a result of that...

    The good folks in Iran rise in revolt against their radical Muslim leaders, just as they did in 2009 when Obama became POTUS. In 2009, they quickly found out no help was coming from POTUS, Obama...he was one and the same in lock-step with their tyrant, despot, dictator leadership. But...there is a new sheriff heading the USA these days, POTUS, Donald J. Trump. Different guy, different day, different game. Beware Iran, North Korea, Venezuela & Cuba, Russia, PRC. There is no sweetness coming from DJT, as was the case with your lock stepper, Barack Hussein Obama who hates the USA...

    Lookie, Lookie, Lookie, The Hollywood film industry is headed for the trash bin. Just like the Democrat Party is in self-destruction mode...so is the Hollywood Cabal of political nutcases, crumbling. Yes, Netflix, Streaming are hurting...but the downfall of the USA film industry is very much being helped to failure and poor performance in both revenue income and ticket sales by poor product and even worse poor choice of politics. Going through life as an avid Left-Wing, Progressive, Hate America, Democrat carries little positive political reward. Even Rupert Murdoch was wise enough to dump his film activity onto Disney.

    With the passing of the "Trump"/"GOP" tax cuts & Tax reform bill and the immediate reaction of many American corporations, companies and small businesses, publicly bringing forth their intentions to use these tax breaks to grow their businesses and improve the wages and benefits to their rank & file employees, the political self-destruction of the Democrat Party is now fully under way.

    Democrats continue their ever, onward course to further the Obama/Clinton destruction of the American Republic. Shucks, yesterday and last evening I heard more use of the words "Middle Class" by Democrats, who seem to have forgotten them for the failed, eight reign of their 'Hate America" leader, Kenyan, Muslim, Barack Hussein Obama. Sorry, Dems, it won't work. All you are accomplishing is the coming destruction of the entire Left-Wing, Communist, Progressive, Socialist, Democrat Party. Simply stated with your hate for POTUS, Donald J. Trump is blinding you in both mind, heart and soul...you are all lost at sea. You think,...

    From almost the first minute moment I found about the "Hate America", love affair that was raging between Barack Hussein Obama & Rev. Jeremiah Wright....I knew the real sustained. ongoing, goal of Obama was to work to destroy the American Republic. The basic, but, absolute, first step in that endeavor is to take over the total leadership control of the key law enforcement organization in the USA, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) During the eight term of POTUS Obama.....the lead players in accomplishing that task were simply AGs, Eric Holder & Loretta Lynch. Their leadership control was then followed...

  • Vanity - Roy Moore pulls a Hillary Clinton disappearance act and loses.

    12/13/2017 6:02:08 AM PST · by JLAGRAYFOX · 102 replies
    Politics is a bloodsport...but, it is also a people contact sport. When I learned back a week or so ago, that Judge Roy Moore was not out campaigning in public...I knew this political game for Moore was over or, at least on a dangling, dangerous lifeline. One of the many major reasons that Democrat, Hillary Clinton lost her POTUS run to Donald J. Trump is that she literally stopped major campaign activity starting in August, 2016...a big, major mistake. Pressing the flesh of voters is an absolute must and, Doug Jones did exactly that many times over. Roy Moore did...
