Insufferable libs can’t get past their venomous anti-Trumpism

President Trump radiates optimism in State of the Union speech

Liberals who dominate the media were ensuring their anti-Trump rhetoric stayed front-and-center in advance of President Trump’s first State of the Union address Tuesday night.

This is the hateful spew  erupting from New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow as he warned others not to use the term “presidential” to describe Trump’s exceedingly presidential speech.

President Trump called for strength and unity and issued a robust defense of American exceptionalism. Referring to his newly implemented tax reforms and the benefits they have already made possible for individuals, families and businesses, he reminded the American people, “There has never been a better time to start living the American Dream.”

As the camera scanned the scowling Democrats, the entire membership of the Congressional Black Caucus sat on their hands refusing to celebrate the lowest recorded black unemployment.  Hispanic unemployment has also reached historically low levels. Obviously they don’t want either our president or the country to succeed.

A CBS poll released following the State of the Union tells a different story. Americans who watched the speech gave it a 75% approval rating. 65% said the speech made them proud. Black-clad and dour, Nancy Pelosi looked shell-shocked as cheers repeatedly filled the imposing chamber responding to President Donald J. Trump‘s outline of accomplishments and plans for the future.

Trump’s myriad triumphs to be showcased in State of the Union

Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign theme has become reality as President Trump’s numerous successes are undeniable — despite relentless liberal efforts intended to undermine him. The conservative Heritage Foundation gives accolades to our 45^th president, noting that he’s achieved more in his first year than President Reagan.  A list of his stunningly strong accomplishments can be read here.

Watch his 2018 speech live streamed here tonight at 7 pm AZ Time, (9 pm ET). Fox News and the alphabet networks will all carry President Trump’s historic speech.

Mexican troops aim to quell violence after record 25,000 murders

Criminal drug cartels control large areas of Mexico

Our neighbors to the south, we are told, are just hardworking, decent people who will make great contributions to the USA. And despite illegally entering our country, they are worthy of amnesty, and eventually, citizenship.

Reuter’s reports on a much different scenario, including blood baths and wholesale slaughter connected to the lucrative drug trade that attracts young Mexicans.

The U.S. Department of State has issued an updated risk report stating that violent crime such as homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery, is widespread. Government employees are prohibited from traveling to numerous areas within Mexico. The warnings range from Level 2 (Exercise Extreme Caution) and Level 3 (Reconsider Travel) to the blunt Level 4 warning (Do Not Travel).

Violence is a central issue ahead of the presidential election in July. Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto’s ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party is trailing in third place in recent polls.

According to the report, “More than 25,000 murders were recorded last year as rival drug gangs increasingly splintered into smaller, more blood-thirsty groups after more than a decade of a military-led campaign to battle the cartels. The murder rate rivals war-ravaged Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.”

AZ GOP elites display utter contempt for state committeemen & UPDATE

Arizona Freedom Alliance does a fine job of setting the stage for the AZ GOP Statutory Meeting, which took place Saturday, Jan. 27. This back story is necessary reading for a complete picture of what GOP “leaders” think of the conservative, elected state committeemen. The site also exposed the subterfuge engaged in by the state party regarding Bylaws, issuing an alert regarding the weaponizing of the Bylaws against PCs.

The Arizona Daily Independent  (ADI) has an updated, fact-filled report/exposé on Saturday’s Statutory meeting. AZ GOP leadership derisively known as the “McCain Machine,” has thrown the Republican  Party into disarray, kicking conservatives to the curb.

ADI pr0viides additional coverage of the AZ GOP state meeting: Put Another AZGOP Meeting in the Can – NEW information.

 

McCain revealed as integral anti-Trump culprit

McCain exposed as doing the Democrat’s dirty work for them

The adage “All roads lead to Rome” has an updated counterpart: “All fake Russian collusion dossiers lead to envious, Hillary-supporting John McCain,”  

There he is, appropriately left-of-center on the “Insurance Policy”chart. Remember, it was McCain who personally carried the dossier to then-FBI director James Comey as he hoped to implicate and eventually take down the President of the United States.

AZ legislators deserve pay increase after 20+ years

Several states have tied legislative salaries to median household income, allowing for automatic, gradual increases

Arizona Republic columnist Laurie Roberts blandly describes herself as “a wife and mother…who loves all things Arizona….” What she neglects to mention is her contempt for Arizona’s state legislators who are among the lowest paid in the nation. She writes three columns a week and presumably gets paid for a full week‘s work. Legislators work full time during the session and serve constituents throughout the year. They also have to be ready to be called back into special session at the whim of the governor. They have not had a pay increase since 1998. It’s a good bet Roberts has.

Roberts, who thinks $24,000 a year is adequate compensation for those we elect and entrust with writing Arizona’s laws, is now hammering state Rep. Bob Thorpe (R-LD 6) for sponsoring two salary related bills — bringing them into the realm of reality in a state where increases of their paltry wages have been denied by voters for the last twenty years. Thorpe realistically proposes to tie future raises to the salaries of supervisors from counties of 500,000+ residents.

Rep. Thorpe also hopes to tie per diem to  the federal reimbursement rate –– raising the daily expense rate for out of Maricopa County legislators from $60 a day to $130. Those who are elected within Maricopa County would see a modest $7 increase per diem

Although today’s rampant political correctness constrains Laurie Roberts from referring to state lawmakers as “90 dwarfs” as former Arizona Republic columnist David Leibowitz frequently did, Roberts disparages the Flagstaff representative as “The Thorpedo,” for running the two bills: HCR 2016 and HB 2275.

Low pay restricts who can realistically serve  in the legislature, since a family could not subsist on $24,000. Few employers can or will allow citizen legislators to take months off work every year and travel to the state capital, which is why retirees, housewives or those with ample financial resources dominate the chambers. Juxtaposed against the rate of inflation, the current salary has decreased.

In Feb. 2013, we wrote AZ legislature: It’s not a part-time job. Responding to the demands of the job has become increasingly complex. Arizona is a large state with diverse issues.

The Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, covering first responders, correctional officers and elected officials has expanded its use of outside consultants by hiring a media relations and crisis communications contractor. And what a surprise to read that legislative basher David Leibowitz was awarded the lucrative $72,000 contact. How often will the word “dwarf” slip out of his mouth now that this state retirement system is paying him? We’re betting it’s been excised from his venomous vocabulary.

Laurie Roberts’ own employer ran this 2017 news report citing a national study finding the state’s retirement system ranks as one of the worst performing in the country, but pays the highest management fees. Perhaps that’s where she should direct her misplaced wrath.

Globalist claims USA slips in the eyes of the world

Although no one likes us, they all want to come here

The U.S. News and World Report article begins with a large dose of high drama, describing the mood on the international conference call at the beginning of this month as somber as Ian Bremmer, self-anointed president of the political risk consulting firm Eurasia Group, prepared to list off top global dangers in the coming year. Trump-hating Bremmer, who has created a niche career for himself, began with this:

“If we had to pick one year for a big unexpected crisis — the geopolitical equivalent of the 2008 financial meltdown — it feels like 2018. The reasons are many, but the most prominent causes for global insecurity stem from U.S. President Donald Trump’s move away from global leadership, and China’s eagerness to fill the perceived vacuum.”

This quote provides an insight of  Bremmer‘s globalist stance: “In a time when so many challenges transcend borders, the need for international leadership has never been greater. We are told that “Trump shocks and divides the world.”

According to Bremmer, “Donald Trump pledged to “Make America Great Again.” The world thinks he is doing the opposite.” To no one’s surprise, the report’s highest disapproval rating goes to President Donald Trump.

Consequently, according to Bremmer’s Eurasia Group, the United States slips in this year’s U.S. News’ Best Countries ranking, dropping to the No. 8 spot. Topping the list are countries such as Canada, Germany and Sweden with increasing Muslim populations and liberal immigration policies that are rendering their native cultures to second class status. Oddly, Japan, which has national policies restricting immigration made the list.

Muhammad has replaced William in the top ten most popular boys’ names in England and Wales, according to the U.K.’s Independent newspaper.

As in 2017, Canada remains the No. 2 in the survey. Germany, as it was in 2016, is perceived as the most powerful country in Europe – surpassing the U.K. to place at No. 3 overall, while the U.K. drops to No. 4.

Meanwhile, demanding “dreamers” who want noting more than to be granted amnesty, followed by full citizenship and voting rights, create a nightmare for Americans.

Disneyland, which bills itself as “the happiest place on earth,” is the latest battle ground for the DACA./dreamers, a band of wild illegals who think waving Mexican flags, screaming obscenities and trying to shut down access to the famed amusement park, will win them support as they blast, “No dream! No deal!” When Barack Obama pushed his illegal executive order through after repeatedly saying he couldn‘t, he sat in the White House and had Democrat House and Senate majorities, but took no further action. President Trump has no obligation to honor this purely political absurdity with unverifiable claims they are all “kids” who were brought to the US by invading parents. Claimants can be up to 36 years of age. The ultimate goal is increase the number of Democrat voters by millions.

Democrats rival Houdini as documents disappear

Democrats have a wily propensity for “losing” important documents, especially when they could reveal their nefarious involvement in matters they prefer to conceal. We saw this phenomena occur when Hillary Clinton mysteriously lost the billing records linking her and her Arkansas law firm to the notorious Whitewater scandal, a shady real estate venture. When they were mysteriously located in the White House family quarters two years later, the FBI found her fingerprints and those of her old friend and Deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster among those discovered on the records. Foster committed suicide in the midst of the unraveling scandal

The latest gambit involves missing text messages — thousands of them — between Peter Strzok and his girlfriend Lisa Page, both married FBI officials and dedicated Hillary partisans during the 2016 election.

It’s clear former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch knew well in advance of FBI Director James Comey’s press conference that he would not recommend charging Hillary Clinton for her misuse of her email server putting classified information at risk while Secretary of State.

The revelation was included in the text messages exchanged between Strzok and  Page, and  significantly diminishes the credibility of Lynch’s earlier commitment to accept Comey’s recommendation — a assurance she made while pushing the charade that the two were not coordinating with each other.

The deceit at the highest levels is mind-boggling. Comey and Lynch reportedly knew that Clinton would never face charges even before the FBI conducted its three-hour interview with Clinton, which was supposedly intended to gather more information into her mishandling of classified information.

When Bill Clinton just happened to run into Loretta Lynch — each on private jets — on the tarmac at Phoenix Sky Harbor International in Aug. 2017, they claimed they spent time chatting about his golf game and their grandchildren.

Believe that and the slippery duo has got a bridge or two to sell you.
