When Trump Stepped off Air Force One, He Looked Out & Instantly Knew….
By Staff Editor
Posted on December 8, 2019
The mainstream media is banking on a blue wave for the midterm elections, kind of how they banked on Hillary winning the presidency…
How did that turn out for you dems?
The media is already declaring that the democrats are going to be victorious in regaining power and that the Trump train has lost its steam.
The sign President Trump saw in Missouri proves the mainstream media wrong once again.
As President Trump stepped off of Air Force One in Missouri the camera panned around and the president looked out and saw something amazing.
Tens of thousands of people who gathered around to see President Trump started chanting, “USA! USA!” The crowd went wild for the President and wouldn’t stop cheering.
Donald Trump looked happily surprised with the enthusiastic crowd who wouldn’t settle down as the president tried to begin his speech.
Watch what America REALLY thinks of President Trump:
Talk about ENTHUSIASM! President @realdonaldtrump enters tonight’s rally in Columbia, MO to a ROARING crowd that would NOT stop cheering. The #RedWave is coming! pic.twitter.com/EzWIBEmZZr

You know the mainstream media will not be showing this!

Biden And Pelosi Snap On The Same Day, Anti-Impeachment Witness Threatened; What's Going On With Democrats?
by Tyler Durden
Sat, 12/07/2019 - 18:30
As public support for impeachment continues to fade, Democrats appear to be coming unglued - with rabid outbursts in public, and privately threatening anyone who might derail their ill-advised gambit.
To wit, George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley says he's been "inundated with threatening messages" following his Wednesday testimony in front of the House Judiciary Committee, where he argued that Democrats have launched a "slipshod impeachment" based on flimsy evidence against President Trump.
"Before I finished my testimony, my home and office were inundated with threatening messages and demands that I be fired from George Washington University for arguing that, while a case for impeachment can be made, it has not been made on this record," Turley wrote in a Thursday Op-Ed.
Turley was the lone expert at Wednesday's hearing to warn Democrats that pushing forward with impeachment would be ill-advised because they can't prove that Trump inappropriately pressured Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky to investigate 2020 Democratic candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Moreover, Zelensky has stated multiple times that there was no pressure, no quid pro quo, and that he didn't know that nearly $400 million in US military aid had been paused until after his discussions with Trump.
On edge
On the same day that Joe Biden snapped at an Iowa voter who pressed him on his son's sweetheart board seat in Ukraine - calling the man a "damn liar" and challenging him to a push-up contest and an IQ test (his go-to, apparently) - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi bit a reporter's head off for asking why she hates Trump.
Q: "Do you hate the president?"@SpeakerPelosi: "I don't hate anybody…As a Catholic, I resent your using the word hate in a sentence that addresses me. I don't hate anyone…So, don't mess with me when it comes to words like that."

How do Democrats FEEL?
Pelosi isn't melting down because she feels like she's winning.
If you've ever won, you know how winners act.
Some are composed and good sportsmen.
Others are "sore winners," they are smug.
Pelosi is shook.

Meanwhile, a growing number of Democrats have backed away from impeachment.

Perhaps Democrats are losing it because they're effectively trapped in their own catch-22, thanks to Rep. Adam Schiff - who hired a former colleague of alleged whistleblower Eric Ciaramella the day after the Trump-Ukraine call.
If House Democrats move forward with impeachment, it will mean a trial in the GOP-controlled Senate, exposing their leading 2020 candidate and his crackhead son to potentially disastrous testimony next year. We're guessing the Bidens, like several Trump administration officials, will refuse to comply with Congressional subpoenas and instead ask the courts to decide. Not a good look for two guys who supposedly did nothing wrong.
If Democrats back down from impeachment and instead censure Trump - avoiding a Senate trial which would 'exonerate' Trump, they will look weak for backing down, and exonerate Trump just the same.
Nancy Pelosi warned her party that this is exactly what would happen if they pushed forward with impeachment. Now, much like Hunter Biden, they've gone in unprotected and can't pull out.
Today's strong jobs numbers are going to make it even harder for the 31 House Dems in Trump-leaning districts to vote for his impeachment. If Pelosi was wigging out yesterday, imagine her angst today.

Senate Republicans Are AWOL In The Oversight War.
It’s time for the subpoenas to start flying.
By
Will Chamberlain

November 18, 2019
In a recent speech to the Federalist Society, Attorney General Bill Barr lamented what he sees as a broad assault on the executive branch. As Barr sees it, the legislative and judicial branches have been progressively encroaching on the prerogatives of the executive. And he’s right; federal district court judges, apparently tired of merely judging, want a hand in executive branch policymaking; thus, we see an endless stream of nationwide injunctions that thwart President Trump’s initiatives.
The oversight wars have begun. And the Republican Senate must begin to fight.
But Congress is certainly the greater offender; it is doing little but encroach on the executive branch’s power. This Congress won’t legislate; even on the issue of infrastructure, where there would appear to be bipartisan agreement, Nancy Pelosi has been AWOL. As a result, the Senate GOP’s actions have been limited to holding hearings and confirming judges and other Presidential appointees.
Instead of legislating, Pelosi’s House Democrats are doing something far more sinister: they are using their oversight powers to harass the White House and prevent it from functioning at all.
Endless subpoenas have been issued and investigations launched under the “pretext” of oversight. Take, for example, the request to subpoena Donald Trump’s tax returns under the pretense of evaluating how to reform tax law. Does anyone really think that House Democrats are about to unveil a tax reform bill? Of course not—they wanted to harass President Trump while he should be busy taking care that our laws be faithfully executed.
Attorney General Barr was right to lament this. The President is confronted, daily, with the country’s most pressing problems. Democrats’ three-year long campaign to impeach him with conspiracy theories and non-crimes has done incredible damage to our government and to our standing in the world.
But it’s not enough to point out the problem and be done with it. Democrats will not stop harassing the administration. As A.G. Barr points out, they have proudly adopted the moniker of “the resistance,” which indicates that they truly believe they are in a kind of civil war. Thus, Republicans have to find ways to make Democrats feel the pain of their actions, using the powers available to them.
The era of legislative battles is seemingly over; the Oversight War has begun. And the Republican Senate must begin to fight.
A FEW PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATIONS
Why was Hunter Biden getting paid $50,000 a year by Burisma to sit on its board of directors? Why did the Obama administration sit idly by while Joe Biden’s son was selling his name? And, more importantly, why haven’t Senate Republicans subpoenaed anyone involved in this mess?
If Congressional Democrats are going to use every lawful means at their disposal to “resist” President Trump, then Senate Republicans should use every lawful means at their disposal to punish their bad faith rebellion.
If President Trump’s tax returns are a legitimate subject of an “oversight” investigation related to our tax laws, then surely Hunter Biden’s no-show job is a legitimate subject of an “oversight” investigation related to our anti-corruption laws. If Senator Lindsay Graham will not use his Judiciary Committee chairmanship to conduct this potentially fruitful investigation, then another committee must.
Moreover, I don’t recall Senate Republicans holding any serious hearings to get to the bottom of Hillary Clinton using a private email server for her government correspondence. The Senate, being responsible for the State Department and for potentially amending the Freedom of Information Act, surely has the ability to subpoena Hillary Clinton—and everyone else involved in this travesty—to get to the bottom of how State Department policies were violated and why, exactly, then-Secretary Clinton thought she had the unilateral right to delete thousands of emails from her server.
Hearings could also be held in the Senate Judiciary Committee to determine whether or not the Department of Justice is taking steps to ensure that it is properly meeting its Brady requirements in prosecutions of prominent figures. Recent filings by the lawyers representing retired General Michael Flynn strongly suggest that partisan bureaucrats were intentionally withholding Brady material in defiance of court orders in that case. This wouldn’t be the first prominent case against a Republican officeholder where the prosecutors were knowingly withholding Brady material; the conviction of Ted Stevens was thrown out due to similar misconduct.
Those are just three simple ideas for how Senate Republicans could end their pacifistic treatment of Democrats and wield oversight power against them. Now, we should wish to return to a peacetime world where Democrats and Republicans agree to constrain the use of their oversight powers and avoid using them for partisan political purposes or to harass the executive branch.
But we are not at peace. Senate Republicans must not unilaterally disarm in the Oversight War.
If Congressional Democrats are going to use every lawful means at their disposal to “resist” President Trump, then Senate Republicans should use every lawful means at their disposal to punish their bad faith rebellion.

Professor Pamela Karlan of Stanford Law School became the pompous face of the academic impeachment panel today when she ridiculed the son of President Trump in an effort to highlight her resistance bona-fides. Imagine the hate that necessarily exists in the heart of a witness who would rehearse such a line to gain tribal cheer.
The Accounts Chamber in Ukraine found an alleged misuse of $5.3B in U.S. funds during the Obama administration while Biden was “Point Man.”
Obama embassy urged Ukrainian police NOT to investigate!

Throne for a Loop by Stilton Jarlsberg
There wasn't much to laugh about yesterday when Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi officially declared war on the 63 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump in the last election. She did so by making it clear that the House of Representatives will indeed vote to impeach the President, because - according to Nancy's tortured logic - it's the only way to prevent him from becoming King.
Which is why we enjoyed the delicious irony when Cory "Spartacus" Booker chose the same day to introduce the CROWN Act - a bill which would outlaw (wait for it!) race based hair discrimination.
Booker's "Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair" (CROWN) Act targets discrimination against hairstyles identified with a particular race, including specific hair textures (the word "kinky" will still be okay to describe fetishes but not follicles) and will protect styles such as "braids, twists or locs." Locs being, apparently, hair locks that are spelled without a "k" in order to stick it to The Man.
If the bill passes, no hair will ever again be forced to go to the back of the head, nor will bigoted bosses be able to ask certain employees why they have giant salad forks sticking out of their coiffures. Additionally, all hair can finally come out of the closet and enjoy full and equal rights without having to pretend to be "straight."
Unfortunately, Senator Booker's bill does nothing to comfort those of us whose hair is standing on end over the Democrats' reckless and lawless attempt to subvert the Constitution and overthrow the government.
But perhaps that can be rectified with a liberal (pun intended) application of Head & Shoulders...on a chopping block.
BONUS: JERRY RIGGED
Of course, Jerry Nadler's fact-free impeachment inquiry is still barreling along. And yes, the excremental exclamation cited below (in panel one) is an actual quote. Keep it classy, Congressman.

There’s great hate for Donald Trump’s success: Goodwin
Parts 1&2
By Michael Goodwin December 7, 2019 | 10:32pm
As I watched Speaker Nancy Pelosi surround herself with large American flags and wrap her impeachment putsch in the language of the Founders, a Mark Twain line came to mind.
“Don’t try and teach a pig to sing,” he warned. “It’s a waste of your time, and it annoys the pig.”
Yet that’s exactly what Pelosi is doing.
No matter how she dresses it up, her impeachment is a pig.
Does Pelosi hate Donald Trump? Of course she does. She hates that he’s president, that he’s building an economy that is the envy of the world and that he appeals to voters her party used to own. She’s turned him into such a villain that every success of his is a failure for her.
She calls him a coward, an imposter and keeps saying “all roads lead to Putin.”
Actually, all roads under Trump lead to jobs, jobs, jobs. Some 266,000 were added in November, driving the unemployment rate down to 3.5%, the lowest in 50 years. Wages climbed by 3.1% annually — all signals the economic expansion is still strong.
The report was such a blockbuster that even Trump haters had to admit it. “Trump Parries Impeachment With a Boom,” The New York Times said on page one. But if it looked with a fair eye, the Times would see plenty of other good news, too.
On the global stage, China made positive comments about settling its trade dispute with the US, which helped lift the stock market to new records. Iranians continued to risk their lives demanding more freedoms from the mullahs and Iraqis continued to demand that Iran get out of their country.
Israelis marked the two-year anniversary of Trump recognizing Jerusalem as the Jewish state’s eternal capital and moving our embassy there. Just as two years ago, the anniversary came and went without major disturbances despite predictions of mayhem from the “Arab street.”
And despite the media fixation on the frat-boy antics of Canada’s Justin Trudeau and France’s Emmanuel Macron, the NATO meeting demonstrated that Trump’s persistent demand that Europeans meet their financial obligations for the common defense is paying dividends. Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that by the end of 2020, the delinquents will have spent $130 billion more since Trump’s election.
In short, there’s plenty of good news that benefits Americans — and the American Way around the world.
But it’s an alternative reality where the media and Democrats are obsessed with one thing only: trying to end the Trump presidency. Any hope that Pelosi would come to her senses was dashed with her order to draw up articles of impeachment.
“Our democracy is what is at stake,” she said. “The president leaves us no choice but to act.”
She is wrong. She does have a choice, and she made the wrong one.
She could have called off the unpersuasive investigations and left the issue of Trump’s fitness up to voters next November. Instead, despite knowing there is zero chance Dems can muster the two-thirds vote in the Senate needed for conviction and removal, she puts dead-end partisan politics ahead of national progress on numerous fronts.
Her choice was wrong for another reason, too. The two investigations into the 2016 spying effort on the Trump campaign are moving forward and both could lower the overheated political temperature with cold facts.
One of them, the Justice Department’s Inspector General’s report on the conduct of the FBI and other officials as they sought surveillance warrants, will be released Monday.
The other, a criminal probe carried out under Attorney General Bill Barr, will take longer but is said to be moving quickly.
The probes offer a potentially competing narrative to the impeachment push. The Dem narrative says the president is corrupt; the GOP narrative says his accusers are.
Both or neither could be true, of course, but truth ain’t what it used to be. Polarization runs so deep that each side relies on its own scripture.
So it felt inevitable when, soon after Pelosi ripped into a reporter for merely asking if she “hates” Trump, a 1998 video surfaced of her saying Republicans were “paralyzed with hatred” for impeaching Bill Clinton.
Ah, but that was then. Now, when it comes to getting rid of Trump, the only rule for the left is that there are no rules.
Consider Rep. Adam Schiff’s secret subpoenas for phone records, including those of GOP Rep. Devin Nunes, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Washington journalist John Solomon, all of whom had the audacity to defend Trump.
Consider that former Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch asked the State Department to compile a watchlist of American citizens and monitor them on social media and other means. Solomon and Giuliani were on that list, too, as were Fox anchors Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, according to a Judicial Watch lawsuit that said the State Department deemed Yovanovitch’s request illegal.
Consider what law professor Jonathan Turley said after the hearing where he was the only witness who argued against impeachment. “Before I finished my testimony, my home and office were inundated with threatening messages and demands that I be fired,” he said.
Finally, consider what Ambassador Gordon Sondland said during his testimony in November. “We have countless emails apparently to my wife, our properties are being picketed and boycotted,” Sondland said. A Dem congressman from Oregon, Earl Blumenauer, publicly called for the action against Sondland’s hotels because Sondland served in the Trump administration.
Pelosi could have ended such madness by calling off the rabid dogs and saying her party trusts democracy. Instead, her impeachment jihad proves she doesn’t.

Lisa Page: ‘You Get All Our Oconus Lures Approved? ;)’
Steven Ahle Steven Ahle December 6, 2019
Chris Farrell, a former counterintelligence case officer who works for Judicial Watch , recently wrote an article that appeared on the Gatestone Institute’s website. He explained how Intelligence would plant false stories overseas in order to spy on people in this country. He noted that Bill Barr and John Durham have made two trips to England and Italy to meet with their intelligence people.
In keeping with that thought, Judicial Watch has a text from Lisa page to Peter Strzok that asked “You get all our oconus lures approved?”
Chris Farrell wrote:
Plausible deniability, the Holy Grail of covert activities, was in reach for the plotters if they could develop an FCI operation outside the continental United States (OCONUS) involving FBI confidential human sources (Halper, Mifsud, others?) that would act as “lures” (intelligence jargon associated with double agent operations) to ensnare Trump associates.
We have evidence of these machinations from December 2015 when FBI lawyer Lisa Page texts to her boyfriend, the now infamous FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok, “You get all our oconus lures approved? ;).”
The coup plot failed, but the chief coup conspirators are free, crisscrossing the country on book tours and appearing as paid contributors to CNN and MSNBC.
If Barr and Duram found this to be true, it will be the biggest political scandal this country has ever seen. It means that the intel community distorted the constitution in order to spy on a political opponent.
From RedState
Farrell points out that the intelligence agencies of the federal government are prohibited from targeting American organizations in the United States. Executive Order 12333, Section 2.9 states:
Undisclosed Participation in Organizations Within the United States. No one acting on behalf of agencies within the Intelligence Community may join or otherwise participate in any organization in the United States on behalf of any agency within the Intelligence Community without disclosing his intelligence affiliation to appropriate officials of the organization, except in accordance with procedures established by the head of the agency concerned and approved by the Attorney General. Such participation shall be authorized only if it is essential to achieving lawful purposes as determined by the agency head or designee. No such participation may be undertaken for the purpose of influencing the activity of the organization or its members except in cases where:
(a) The participation is undertaken on behalf of the FBI in the course of a lawful investigation; or
(b) The organization concerned is composed primarily of individuals who are not United States persons and is reasonably believed to be acting on behalf of a foreign power.
