Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Hey, guess who’s back? – Anitfa, which is nothing more than the militant arm of the Democrat Party, had had its activities suspended in the run-up to the election, probably on orders from Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. Now that the election has come and gone, orders have gone out for this bunch of brain-dead cretins to resume their previous assaults around the country. Isn’t that great?
So, last night, a group of them assembled on the front yard of Fox News host Tucker Carlson and chanted threats at him and his family – which includes small children – for an hour or so. Such admirable people. Never forget that they are bought and paid for by the Democrat Party. We have to stop letting the politicians off the hook for this anti-American nonsense.
Speaking of leftist radicals assaulting innocent people… – CNN Democrat activist with a press pass Jim Acosta doesn’t have his press pass anymore. At least from the White House, which revoked the fake reporter’s press badge after he made a complete ass of himself at a Presidential press conference Wednesday morning, and assaulted a young female White House intern in the process.
The intern, who was just trying to do her job after President Trump instructed her to take the microphone from Acosta, received an Austin Powers-caliber karate chop from Acosta for her troubles. Were Acosta a reporter for a conservative news outlet, the #MeToo gang would have descended on him like a pack of hyenas, but because he works for CNN, there has been radio silence from that corner of the liberal universe.
CNN, meanwhile, spent much of the rest of its day lying to its audience with carefully-edited video that had Acosta’s assault removed out of it. Because, of course they did.
But it’s not just Acosta – there is a larger problem here. If you watched that press conference – where the President spent well over an hour fielding 68 mostly-hostile questions from 35 fake reporters – you saw a security problem. With only a few exceptions, you saw a group of at least 60 individuals who literally hate the man they were interviewing. These are people who are enemies of the White House – they are there doing nothing but attempting to damage this presidency. They are agents for the opposition, Democrat activists with press passes, nothing more.
I’ve argued for more than a year and a half now that the White House should end the thing called the “White House press corps”, and deny them access to the White House grounds for security reasons. It is only a matter of time before one of these preening, entitled peacocks goes completely off the hook and assaults Sarah Sanders or even the President.
Any president of either party has an obligation to keep the public informed of his actions and the actions of his Administration, and in today’s age of miraculous technology there are myriad means of getting that done. No president has the slightest obligation to allow a pack of agents for the opposition to have unfettered access to the White House grounds on a daily basis. That’s actually an act of insanity.
Suspending Acosta’s press badge is a good start, but that is all it is. Sadly, the action will probably be reversed today, and the insanity will continue until somebody really gets hurt.
Well, that didn’t take long. – Less than an hour after his meeting with the “press” had concluded, President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions. This is no surprise, although no one had expected it to happen before all the votes from the mid-terms had been counted. Now we will see if Mr. Trump can hire someone into the job who actually wants to do it. Sessions, sadly, obviously didn’t.
Sessions’ Chief of Staff, former U.S. Attorney Matthew Whitaker, will become acting Attorney General until a permanent replacement is nominated and confirmed by the Senate. Whitaker also now assumes oversight of Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his merry gang of Clinton/Obama hacks. This is interesting, since Whitaker has been publicly outspoken in his belief that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has been negligent in his duty to ensure Mueller remained focused on the supposed scope of his investigation, rather than going off on all sorts of tangents as Mueller has clearly done.
Democrats and their agents in the fake news media naturally reacted with joint talking points that would make ordinary citizens believe that, once appointed, a Special Counsel has a lifetime appointment with unlimited scope and powers, because of course they did. Lying is what these people do for a living, after all. New York Congressman Jerrold Nadler, who will become the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee in the new congress come January, threatened to impeach the President should he make a move to fire Mueller, as did Chuck Schumer and other Democrats.
The President is not going to fire Robert Mueller. That’s not going to happen. Mueller has in fact clearly been in the process of winding his operation down over the past few months, and will most likely be issuing a final report sometime in the coming weeks.
On the other hand, the President probably is going to fire Rosenstein, who is clearly a deep state functionary, and we should expect that to happen quite soon, maybe before the week is out. We should also expect the President to declassify a whole raft of key documents once that firing has been carried out. We should then expect the declassification of those documents to lead to a major, final house-cleaning at the Department of Justice, where more than 25 deep state players have already been removed over the past year.
After all of that has happened, prosecutions will finally begin. That is how this is all probably going to go, and no set of joint talking points recited by Democrats and their fake news media agents is going to stop it.
That is all.

Sessions is not a good man. He is an enemy of the Republic.
#####################
I think he is some kind of moral or malfeasant reprobate who was compromised. His actions, or rather inactions, amount to the same, regardless. He was the gatekeeper who abandoned his post, and will forever be remembered that way.
They were there for an hour? Where the heck were the cops?
###########################
Have you noticed the cops are NEVER doing anything when Antifa acts up? They are MIA, or standing around with their hands in their pockets.
Although there were splits, most law enforcement swung with the communists in the Spanish Civil War. There is a shared control fetish there, with many of them.
Replace the WH intern with a beefy 300lb 6’5 bailiff.
“Tucker is a gun owner. Where was his family? His wife needs to come out onto the porch with weapons!”
That would be quite illegal.
Recommending you take gun course. You may be new to site, but do a search on Joe Biden and shotgun.
For anyone who cares about the truth, that is a true copy of what happened in the press briefing. He blocked her arm and did not grab her. It’s disengenous for anyone - here at FR, the WH or TV to claim otherwise. Last night when CNN aired the story with Anderson Cooper, they showed the clip and cut it short of the physical contact - just as reported in the article. Very obvious.
It was a stupid act for Acosta to pull but there isn’t any assault/battery here. Not defending Acosta but I’m tired of people exaggerating the smallest incidents - making mountains out of molehills.
Glad he had his WH press pass taken as he’s one arrogant, belligerent, obnoxious son of a gun but why do conservatives insist on behaving like liberals and blowing things out of proportion?
“”I believe Rudy said he would have recused himself?””
Where IS Rudy? Haven’t seen him in ages! Maybe he recused himself also?
“”Since his criminal act occurred while on the clock, CNN is responsible for his attack””
Criminal act? Attack? Are you kidding?
Sessions was a man too used to the Senator idle lifestyle of parties and frivolous meetings. Once he became AG he actually had to get his hands dirty and work. He wasn’t used to actual work and recused himself in high profile cases opting to involve himself in mundane, BS back bench time wasters such as “the Opioid Crisis”. A lesson for our President: if real work needs to be done, don’t hire a politician.
In California some years ago we elected Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor. He started out with a fairly conservative agenda. Then he started caving to the dems at every opportunity. Turns out he was being overly friendly with the hired help and managed to produce a child whom he does not appear to have wanted to acknowledge. The child's mother spoke with Gloria Allred. As soon as he was out of office a massive settlement was paid and the rest is history. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Jeff Sessions has been suffering from acute Arnold Schwarzenegger Syndrome for the past two years.
I think Trump is nuts to hold a press briefing everyday. They should do it once a week on Friday to give these hacks something to talk about on the weekend.
Easy. Remember, Sessions is the "silent executioner". Trust Sessions. /s
They probably got a “call” from the control center warning them to let the 1st amendment be used against a known nazi.
“President Trump shouldn’t fire Rosenstein, either Whittaker or whoever PDJT nominates should fire Rosenstein.”
I agree. Trump met with Rosenstein yesterday. No word on what transpired. I think it was to tell him Whitaker is now acting AG and they will be meeting to discuss Rosenstein’s future with the DOJ. I get the strange feeling that Rosenstein wants to stay out of prison and will figure out a way to lay this at Clapper and Brennan’s feet.
I disagree. The AG is there to protect the Constitution by enforcing the law. Democrat AG's have been treasonously derelict in their duties for decades.
I don't question the guys integrity, but his political sense. There was a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes early on we don't know about. McConnell told Trump he wasn't going schedule a vote for a new AG for a year if he fired Sessions. It is been rumored that Sessions had tenured his resignation before and Trump decided not to except it. By early this year he had to know Trump-Russia collusion was a hoax and resigned. He should have left when the Fusion GPS, Strzok/Page texts, and McCabe news started accumulate in early spring.
At some point McConnell had to know this was all B.S and gave Trump the go ahead or some options. The Senate was trying to get as many judges confirmed as possible along with Kavanaugh. When Kennedy announced his retirement at the end of June, firing Sessions was likely a no go..
I am sure he makes millions. Hire security to shoot on sight anyone that steps on his lawn.
RIght, anything you say.
If that’s the criteria, then Sessions was doing his job.
In the real world, the AG is there to protect the president. When he doesn’t you have what Trump has had to contend with since day one.
You might recuse but you make sure that the investigation doesn’t drop in the lap of an Obama/deepstate syncophant.
I'm inclined to reject the word "disloyalty".He was one of the first office holders of importance to publicly support DJT.
As I said earlier...."backbone" is my diagnosis.
Backbone, temerity, courage etc. I don’t disagree with you. I just don’t understand the man. He could have been really a great AG, but he took the easy road. The tough road would have been as a referee to the special counsel.
I don’t like it when our guys fail. Although I would say Trump’s intuition about people is spot on. He’s a very good judge of people.
I thought Rex Tillerson would be great. He wasn’t. He didn’t have the tools, didn’t have the loyalty.
Trump you must admit is a fast learner. He gets rid of the problems and moves on.
You can really learn a lot from him.
