Resistance Ruining Democrat Hopes

By Douglas V. Gibbs
Author, Speaker, Instructor, Radio Host

When Donald Trump became the Presidential nominee for the Republican Party, the Democrats began an out-of-their-mind temper-tantrum strategy that defies all logic.  When Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court, they went nuts.  When he nominated any of his appointees, allegations of racism, sexism and sexual impropriety exploded.  While it worked with candidate Judge Roy Moore, for the most part their attacks have not pulled off what they want.

So, they increased the insanity when Brett Kavanaugh was nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court.  There is no strategy.  There are no political tactics involved.  It's all about desperation, and striking out.

It's a Bolshevik-style resistance that isn't sitting well with a large swath of Americans.

The Senatorial hearing regarding Kavanaugh began with radical agitators screaming in the back of the room, and protesters in the street.  Senators Kamala Harris and Cory Booker made fools of themselves as they tried to delay the procedure.  But, since those tactics didn't do the job to scare Kavanaugh off, or make President Donald Trump withdraw the nomination (like spineless Republicans would do in the past), the attacks increased, and the political madness got louder.

Now, as expected, sexual allegations have emerged.  The problem for the Democrats is, however, that not only has Kavanaugh denied ever having any sexual contact with anyone (and that he was a virgin throughout high school, and for many years later), witnesses that may have been able to corroborate accuser Christine Blasey Ford's story are saying it didn't happen.  The Democrats, however, don't believe in due process, or the idea that there is a presumption of innocence until proven otherwise.  They are lining up to say they believe Ford's story.

"If at first you don't succeed," is the Democrat Party's motto, "get nastier."

A second accuser has emerged.

This one's name is Deborah Ramirez, and like Ford, she's a Democrat Party operative, and nobody is corroborating her story.  In fact, everyone who knows, or has known Brett Kavanaugh, is saying the judge is a stand-up guy, a moral person, and that all of these allegations are way outside the realm of his normal operating procedures.

Now, a third accusation is on the barbie.

Kavanaugh says these are smears.  Nothing less.

Notice how the Democrats and the media are silent about an easier to prove sexual assault case surrounding one of their own, Keith Ellison.

The madness being portrayed by the Democrats is not their finest hour, or the media's, and they are ruining any hope in the future of doing what they've done in the past.

In truth, in their maniacal frenzy to not lose what little hold they thought they had on the American political system after Obama, they are throwing out any hopes of future infiltration.

Let's think hypothetically, for a moment, and enter the mind of the Democrat.

When Donald Trump first emerged, the #NeverTrumper crowd, both Democrats, and conservative #NeverTrumpers, said that Donald Trump is not a Republican.  A friend of mine from New York City told me, "The guy's a Democrat.  Everybody knows it."

JASmius, a former writer for Political Pistachio, and a former co-host on my radio program, is still waiting for Trump to take off his sheep's outer-covering and proclaim, "Fooled all of you, now it's time to institute Democrat policies."

What if JASmius was correct.  What if the original plan of Trump was to get into the White House as a Republican, and then go lefty on us?

It wouldn't be the first time.

George W. Bush claimed to be a conservative, but more often than not, he wasn't.  Daddy Bush was worse.  Both of them are globalists.

What about Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.  What if they were the next Justice David Souter?  Souter was a George H.W. Bush appointee.  Souter claimed to be a Republican.  But his judicial opinions often said otherwise.

Justice Anthony Kennedy is another case of being a Republican nominee, but turning out to, quite often, jump ship and rule with the hard left progressive judges.  Remember, Kennedy was a President Ronald Reagan nomination.

What if Gorsuch and Kavanaugh were capable of finding themselves somehow sympathizing with the liberal lefties?

The liberal left has literally ruined any possibility of that.  They have literally thrown Trump, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh into the arms of conservatism (if they weren't conservative, already).

If the Democrats ever thought in their empty little brains that defection by someone like Trump, his judicial nominees, or anyone else that might have been straddling a fence, was possible, their antics have killed the possibility.  Infiltration, thanks to a myriad of straight-jacket moments being provided by the Democrat Party and their minions, can only be achieved now by their own extremists.  Even moderates like Senator Susan Collins is saying that the Democrats have gotten . . . well . . . a little on the ridiculous side.

In truth, voters are the same way, and every time the Democrats pull this garbage, they are sending more voters in our direction.  The Democrats have no argument.  All they have are temper tantrums.

And, to be honest, Republican voters aren't the only ones shaking their heads and thinking, "Wow, these Democrats sure have lost their mind."

Threat of China

By Douglas V.  Gibbs
Author, Speaker, Instructor, Radio Host

While the mainstream media has always tried to convince us that the Chinese are the good communists, the reality is, there is no good communism.  China has been reminding us of that, and is rising to become an enemy that it is getting harder and harder for the their allies among the liberal left progressives to hide.

A friend of mine, a woman who left Communist China twenty years ago, says that the greatest danger in the world is China.  Another tells me that the communists are becoming desperate because a desire for Western culture is slowly moving through the Chinese population.  The leadership is concerned.  Opposition to communism may be on the horizon.

Therefore, China is taking no chances.

They have switched on their Social Credit System, something that uses a sprawling, technological mass surveillance network that is designed to the likes of which the world has never seen. The plan is to have it in full swing by 2020.  The surveillance system is designed to control and coerce the the citizenry.  It is a gigantic social engineering experiment that some have called the "gamification of trust".

How much Science Fiction did you read when you were younger?  I read a lot of it, and my favorite books are the ones about a dystopian future where the last remnants of liberty must find a way to overcome a massive tyranny.  The Chinese project comes right out of those books, except the nightmare is more massive and intricate than anything any sci-fi writer could create in my hall of books.

The system assigns an individual a trust score.  Each and every citizen gets one.  Businesses too.  Your trust score can go up, and down, and the higher your trustworthiness, the more you will be allowed to roam free.  But, you know how trust can be.  Trust can be easy to lose, and difficult to earn.

Lose points on your trust score, and the tightness of the iron fist grips tighter.

The System uses China's technological infrastructure of about 200 million CCTV cameras.

Never mind big-brother.  China's communists will be something worse.  They know they have to crack down, so their ever-watchful eyes will use facial recognition systems, and cross-checks with financial, medical records, and legal records.

The Chinese are ready to make sure that there is no revolution in that country calling for liberty.

Society will be managed, and controlled through an algorithmic governance that would make Silicon Valley blush.

Points will be awarded for being a good communist citizen, such as paying bills on time, engaging in charity, and properly sorting your recycling.  Better scores result in positive reinforcement.  You know, like training a dog.  Do as the master wants and gain access to perks, like better credit facilities, cheaper public transport, and even shorter wait times for hospital services.

Be a good citizen, and get your little treat.

Negative reinforcement, however, will also be used.  Break the rules, like paying your bills late, committing infractions like jaywalking or smoking in non-smoking areas, and you will be punished by the communist state.

Technology.  Techno-tyranny.  Australian newscast outlets describes it as a "digital dictatorship". 

Lose trust points, and the guilty citizen will incur financial penalties and even travel restrictions.  Investigative journalist Liu Hu learned the hard way.  He says the social credit system destroyed his career after he was blacklisted for making accusations of government corruption.

Branded "dishonest", he had access to rail travel suspended, and his social media accounts – comprising some 2 million followers – were reportedly shut down, effectively making his job impossible.

Remember the movie "The Net"?

This is worse.

And the Chinese people are simply going along with the tyranny.  They know no different, except what little they've tasted of liberty through illegal news from The West.

"Their eyes are blinded and their ears are blocked. They know little about the world and live in an illusion."

Individuals aren't the only ones subject to this iron fist'd communist tyranny.  Companies in China are also being graded, even those from other countries.  Some are already feeling the coercive aspects of the controversial system, which some fear could "interfere directly in the sovereignty of other nations".

Another danger to Chinese communist control is the emerging church.  While communism is atheistic, Christianity does exist in the country.  China's only goal has been to make sure they pledge their loyalty to The Communist Party.

Recently, the Chinese government did exactly that.

China's Catholic Church has reaffirmed its loyalty to the country's ruling Communist Party, while also welcoming a landmark deal struck with the Vatican on appointing new bishops.

The Vatican signed an agreement giving it a long-desired and decisive say in the appointment of bishops in China, which originally had been out of the Vatican's hands.  China's around 12 million Catholics have been split between an underground Church swearing loyalty to the Vatican and the state-supervised Catholic Patriotic Association.

The Catholic Church in China said it would "persevere to walk a path suited to a socialist society, under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party."

What the agreement did was open the opportunity for the underground Catholics to reveal who they are, just as the communists have planned.

Christian extinction in China may be soon to follow.

Democrats: Hypocritical, Evil Faith in Godless Socialism

By Douglas V. Gibbs
Author, Speaker, Instructor, Radio Host

The great deceiver and the great counterfeiter.  If you don't know who I am talking about, you might as well close the page and go back to your life of blind challenges.

The liberal left Democrats stand against everything right.  They raise taxes, making it harder for the poor to survive, and then say they are for the poor.  They increase regulations, killing small business, which gives the corporations less competition, and then claim they are for the little guy and are against the great big corporations.  They claim they want you to be free to do what you want (by supporting all kinds of bizarre groups), and then pass laws to limit soda intake, straws, water usage, and any other government control they can muster.

A friend of mine recently told me, we need to quit saying this is a battle between the right and the left, and understand this is a battle between right and wrong.

Immigration, for example.  The liberal progressive commie Democrats, in their push to make every place a sanctuary for illegal aliens, have convinced themselves that breaking in and entering, stealing from residents, and bringing into the country with them those who do not have the best for America in their soul is the moral and right thing to do.  They (illegal aliens) should be, according to the liberal Democrats, able to drive, able to vote, and given citizenship without any questions asked.

Let's change the scenario and see if their argument still makes sense.

They have convinced themselves that if someone breaks in and enters a home, stealing from the homeowners their food in the fridge and overtaking the spaces of their dwelling, and bringing people into the house who wish to destroy the hard work the family has labored over the years to make it their home, is the moral and right thing to do.  Then, after breaking into the house, they demand to be admitted into the family, be in the will for when the parents pass away, eat the food when they damn well please, and to bring whoever into the house they want since they are now a part of the family, even if the person wishes to kill or rape any of the original family members.  And they want you to believe this is the moral and right thing, and if you have any inkling against it, it's because you are racist, and you hate people.

Meanwhile, while we are wrestling with illegal immigration, and the crime and loss of jobs (and murders of citizens) the situation brings with it, we have Americans, youngsters who have been trained in socialism and how to be radical agitators by Marxists in our public school system, banding together in the name of Antifa for the purpose of forming an army to cause a civil war.  These ungrateful pukes are going beyond agitation and are preparing for black shirt tactics, and a Bolshevik-style revolution.

The illegal aliens, by percentage, largely agree with the Antifa pukes who are pushing a communist revolution.  The Democrats have refused to speak out against this, because Antifa is their militant arm.  For the Democrats, it began with the KKK, long ago. Now, their militant force of chaos are groups like Antifa, and Black Lives Matter.

The real enemy of the progressive commie Democrats, however, is God.  So, they do everything they can to stand against The Creator.  If He Created the sexes, then with transgenderism they must destroy God's Creation - even if it takes on a psychological madness that could destroy our culture, and people's lives.  It doesn't matter to them, as long as they get the votes, and silence their God-fearing opposition.  They don't care about the destruction they are causing.  The Democrats don't even care if their drive to normalize gender-confusion leads to massive suicides by these poor pawns in the Marxist game the liberals are playing.  They don't care as long as they advance themselves politically.  Besides, it's a natural marriage, because the tactics used by homosexuals and transgenders to normalize their bizarre behavior is radical, tyrannical, and exactly what the Democrats want.  In the end, remember, the ends justify the means, and anything is game, just as long as the opposition is silenced, and ultimately annihilated.

Karl Marx once said that the "meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism."  The Democrats, and their allies, agree.  Political speech is being targeted, not only through political correctness, but by eliminating such speech on campuses, silencing any conservative or Christian speech in social media, and by shaping the message to fit the Marxist plan through the online search engines like Google.

How can our republic (not democracy) survive this kind of assault?

To be honest, the only thing holding them back from taking the final steps toward tyranny and bloody revolution is the fact that the right to keep and bear arms is still considered an individual right, and the fact that Donald J. Trump has decided to stand up to them, and fight them with fire.  Despite their attacks, science has proven that Trump is of sound mind and sound body, and the reality is, it's looking like he may go down as one of the best Presidents of the United States this country has ever seen.  He's created a historical scenario that has North Korea ready to rejoin the free world and turn its back on communism, and in a recent visit by the South Korean President to North Korea, the crowds were chanting "unification".

The economy is doing so well, even CNN is willing to admit Trump deserves some credit.

That all said, the rise of President Trump, and the strong conservative messaging that is out there right now, is only a short reprieve.  The anti-American progressive commies are regrouping. Preparing.  Inserting Satanic messages of doom (largely through entertainment).  They are getting so desperate that Obama is snapping at people during speeches, and one minion professor went so far as to shoot himself in the arm.

Insanity?  I think "Evil" might be a more appropriate word.

The liberal progressive commie Democrats are pulling out all of the stops.  Stay vigilant.  Stay focused on God and preserving American ideals.  And, my friends, do what you can to stay sane, because the other side isn't.

Project Veritas: Deep State Deeper than you want to believe

By Douglas V. Gibbs
Author, Speaker, Instructor, Radio Host

I received the following email from Project Veritas . . . a.k.a. James O'Keefe:

Dear Friend, 

Strzok, McCabe, Comey. The list goes on.
The Deep State has strangled the Department of Justice (DOJ).
When I saw this happening, I knew that we had to investigate.
Today, Project Veritas exposed the Department of Justice. 

Our investigation found several revelations:

• DOJ employee claims that her colleagues discuss how to resist President Trump from the inside, including "slowing what they do." She is not concerned about repercussions and brags, "at the DOJ, we can't like get fired. 

• Rogue agents reportedly using DOJ resources to target political opponents; run their license plates; and target them at their homes. 

• Employees leaking confidential informationat the Department of Health and Human Services to undermine the administration.

But the roots of the Deep State run deep. There is more to uproot and unmask.

What we are being told is that the deep state is deeper, and more sinister, than many people are willing to admit. They are desperate. Willing to do anything to stop this turn around ushered in by the Tea Party, and President Donald J. Trump.  In short, the communists who have been working to fundamentally change America into something the Framers of the Constitution never dreamed of are getting vicious.  The ends justify the means to these people, no matter how dirty, how deceptive, or how illegal their activities really are.

Political Action this Week begins with Cromnibus

Posted by Douglas V. Gibbs

After the completion of the latest Constitution Radio with Douglas V. Gibbs program, during which we had as guests Tim Donnelly (Candidate for Congress, District 8), Harry Ramos (Candidate for Murrieta City Council, District 2), and Judge Steven Bailey (Candidate for California State Attorney General), let's turn our attention to the business at hand coming up.

In the Pass Area the Banning-Beaumont-Cherry Valley Tea Party worked with other groups to hold a rally for Kimberlin Brown-Pelzer for Congress at the Farms' House Restaurant parking lot in Banning until 5:oo pm on Saturday.

On September 25, 2018, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors are attempting to enact GPA 1227, a change the General Plan that would change the status of Rural Communities to Urban. Citizens are organizing and requesting protest letters to be sent to the Supervisors and to attend the Board of Supervisors Meeting on Tuesday, September 25th at 9:00 am. The Riverside County Board of Supervisors meeting will be at 4080 Lemon Street in Riverside.

The push to advise Murrieta voters of how bad the raise in the city's sales tax is only beginning.

In Washington, the U.S. Senate passed the “cromnibus” to fund the government through December 7, and it is a spending nightmare. The House will vote on the legislation next week.  Contact your Congress Critter now to urge them to vote against this monstrosity.  Don't know who your Congressman is?  https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

The cromnibus maintains last year’s bloated spending levels, lacks conservative policy riders, and is the culmination of a failed appropriations process this year which consistently blocked conservative priorities.  In short, the establishment of liberal progressive crazies, and their Democrat-light colleagues in the GOP, are up to their same old bloated unconstitutional spending tricks again.  Had Congress worked with our President, and passed President Trump’s recession package earlier this year, the fake “savings” they claim is funding the cromnibus would have been returned to the American people instead of funneled into other federal programs.  Federal spending is running rampant as Congress scrambles to finish as many appropriations bills as possible before federal funding expires on September 30.

Monday the Judge Kavanaugh hearings continue.  Senator Grassley of the Senate Judiciary Committee continues to handle the allegations against Judge Kavanaugh with leadership and strength. He has offered the opportunity for Judge Kavanaugh’s accuser Christine Blasey Ford to make her case, and I hope the GOP realizes who she is, and what she is, and points out her connection (through her brother) to the fake Russian Dossier put out by Fusion GPS.  Christine Blasey Ford is a dirty Democrat Party scoundrel operative and she is being used in this as a part of the deliberate effort to discredit the Judge’s character and delay the confirmation.

Also, in your area there are plenty of things to do. Are you being active?  Do you have a "Yes on Prop. 6" sign in your yard so that you can play a part in repealing the California killing Gas Tax?  I volunteer at the Temecula Riverside County GOP Headquarters on Monday, Thursday and Friday.  Stop by, get a sign, and information on your Republican Candidates.

And, don't forget, my Constitution Study Groups are in full swing.  Join us, and learn how to right the ship.

Tuesdays, 6:00 pm, Corona Constitution Class, AllStar/CARSTAR Collision, 522 Railroad Street, Corona, CA

Wednesdays, 6:00 pm, Temecula Constitution Class, Riverside County Republican Party HQ, 28120 Jefferson Ave., Temecula, CA (tucked between the cigar shop, and the tattoo shop)

As for local clubs, don't forget the Murrieta-Temecula Republican Assembly (www.mtra.club), and the Banning-Beaumont-Cherry Valley Tea Party (www.bbcvteaparty.com) who meets Tuesdays for breakfast, 8:00 am, at the Farms' House Restaurant, 6261 Joshua Palmer Way, Banning.

Finally, I will be speaking for about 10 minutes about our Natural Rights at the Temecula Valley Republican Women's Federated on October 16 in what I am hoping will become a continuing series of talks.

Russia Probe Documents Remain in the Air

By Douglas V. Gibbs
Author, Speaker, Instructor, Radio Host

The manufactured hate by the liberal left Democrats of President Donald J. Trump was allegedly confirmed as being worth it when a dossier paid for by the Clinton's that was supposed the show the billionaire's love for Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, emerged on the scene.  The thing is, the whole thing was a fake, and full of fiction.

Now, it has gotten to the point where it is beginning to sound like the Democrats actually believe their own lies.  They are investigating the crime of Russian Collusion, and they are sure there is evidence out there, somewhere, even though there is no evidence, and if anything, what's popping up is proof that the Democrats were in collusion with each other in their desperate aim to criminalize Trump because they couldn't figure out any other reason Hillary Clinton would lose.  From their point of view, it couldn't possibly be because voters preferred the billionaire businessman.  That would be, well, just plain nuts.

As the attacks, both propaganda and legal, against Trump continues to fail, and his approval numbers keep inching upward, it's turning out that Trump is beginning to expose the Democrats for the frauds they truly are.  So, when he said he wanted to declassify the Russia-probe documents, which should show the unlawfulness surrounding the dossier, and the unlawfulness that ushered a FISA warrant, the Democrats went into meltdown.  Their fear of being exposed for who they are took front and center.

So, as expected, when Trump called for the Russia-probe documents, the Democrat leadership said, "No way!"  They demanded that no Russia-probe documents be released until their deep-state allies, the director of national intelligence and the heads of the FBI and the Justice Department, meet with the “Gang of Eight.”

According to the Epoch Times, "In a letter sent one day after Trump ordered the declassifications, Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.), and Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) also called Sept. 18 on the three agencies to cease the declassification review process and halt all communications with the White House related to the president’s order until meeting in person with the Gang of Eight. 

"Trump ordered Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats on Sept. 17 to declassify specific pages of the secret court warrant application to surveil former Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page, FBI interviews related to the application, and text messages related to the Russia probe sent by James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and Bruce Ohr. 

"Trump specified that the documents be declassified “immediately.” The Democrats’ move could at best delay the process, since Trump holds the ultimate authority to declassify documents. 

"The Democrats argue that the White House shouldn’t be given access to the documents because the Russia investigation is still ongoing and may “implicate the President himself or those around him.” According to the letter, the Democrats had sought to restrict the president’s access to information at least three times since June."

If the documents may implicate the President, why would they be so against the declassification?  I think it's the opposite.  They are fearful that the documents will implicate the Democrats for their role in not only communicating with Russian personnel, but collusion among themselves, and their minions in the deep-state.

At the requested meeting, Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, and Warner demand to know how much the White House will get to see as part of the review process, the White House staff who are involved, what information the agencies propose to redact, how they plan to protect sources and methods, and if there is a plan to “mitigate harm” that may result from the release of the documents. 

“The action he has taken, to direct your agencies to selectively disclose classified information that he believes he can manipulate publicly, to undermine the legitimacy and credibility of the Special Counsel’s investigation, is a brazen abuse of power,” the Democrats’ letter states. 

Spokespeople from the Justice Department (DOJ) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) told The Epoch Times that those agencies are cooperating with the FBI to comply with Trump’s order.

The President has ultimate authority over declassification.  His order should have begun a review process being conducted by his agencies in the intelligence community.

The fears of the Democrats is the fact that the documents Trump ordered focuses on the fake research dossier funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee and the intense anti-Trump bias expressed by Lisa Page and Strzok, among others.

They don't want the cat completely out of the bag.

They don't want the country to know that members of the FBI were working with the Democrats.  Trump, if he exposes the FBI’s scheme against him, said that doing so would be a “crowning achievement” of his presidency.

“I hope to be able to call this, along with tax cuts and regulation and all the things I’ve done … in its own way, this might be the most important thing because this was corrupt,” Trump said.

Trump said that he hasn’t read the material he ordered to be declassified, but that he believes they will expose that the probe of his campaign was a “hoax, beyond a witch hunt.” 

The president was specifically concerned with the secret court judges who approved the warrant to spy on Carter Page. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court approved the initial application to surveil Page in October 2016. The court then approved three renewals in three-month increments. 

“One of the things I’m disappointed in is that the judges in FISA didn’t, don’t seem to have done anything about it. I’m very disappointed in that,” Trump said. “No 

w, I may be wrong because, maybe as we sit here and talk, maybe they’re well into it. We just don’t know that because I purposely have not chosen to get involved.” 

Trump noted that many people had asked him to declassify the documents, but said he waited to see “where it was all going.” 

“All I want to do is be transparent,” he said. “I hope to be able put this up as one of my crowning achievements that I was able to … expose something that is truly a cancer in our country.”

Then, once exposed, maybe we could then start properly investigating the crimes of the Democrats.  For example, not only did Obama and Hillary Clinton allow the deaths of our heroes in Benghazi, but they fired the surviving heroes when they landed in Germany, making them figure out their own way back home.

Former Secretary of State and long-time protester against the United States John Kerry (see Jane Fonda/Vietnam image with John Kerry to the right) has met with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif three or four times since leaving office and their talks touched on the international nuclear agreement which Kerry negotiated and President Trump withdrew from.  Kerry has admitted to this Logan Act violation.  And, last May, the Boston Globe reported that he had been secretly meeting with the Iranian foreign minister and European leaders, advising them on how to save the flawed JCPOA.  Again, a Logan Act violation.

How about the corruption of Democrats on our Caribbean territory?  The Democrats' claim Puerto Rico's problems are the fault of Trump and the GOP.  Do you remember San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz attacking Trump for allegedly mishandling the disaster response, despite the fact that emergency management experts praised the president and FEMA’s actions?  She made her anti-Trump claims that they were getting no supplies in Puerto Rico as she stood in front of pallets of supplies.  It shocked us to even see such a thing.  As it turns out, she's not the only dishonest liberal left Democrat mayor in Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rican Mayor Miguel Ortiz Velez of Sabana Grande, and two additional island officials who were directors of finance for the town of Toa Baja, are being investigated for a wide array of crimes.  They allegedly misused government funds, using nearly $5 million worth of federal funds to pay the town’s public employees and municipal contractors.

The political group these folks belong to, by the way, is the very same one that San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz belongs to.  So, in a nut shell, the Democrats in Puerto Rico were blaming Trump for hurricane deaths while her own party was defrauding taxpayers and laundering aid money.

Then there's Hillary's emails, Obama's dealings with enemies of America, and so on, and so on.

And we are supposed to believe them when they scream "Russia, Russia, Russia"?

That all said, when it comes to the release of the Russia-probe documents, Trump may have sort of given in.

Today, President Trump agreed to delay the release of key files related to the Russia investigation, asking the inspector general to review the documents on an “expedited basis” amid Justice Department concerns their publication may have a “negative impact” on the probe.

“I met with the DOJ concerning the declassification of various UNREDACTED documents. They agreed to release them but stated that so doing may have a perceived negative impact on the Russia probe. Also, key Allies’ called to ask not to release,” Trump tweeted Friday.

The documents Trump ordered declassified include a renewed Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant against former campaign aide Carter Page and text messages from former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. The president, for months, has blasted Strzok and Page for the bias revealed in their text messages first found by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz.

The president also ordered the release of unredacted text messages from former FBI Director James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

What amazes me about all of this is that the Democrats have stuck to their Russia Russia Russia story, claiming that Trump is a Russian puppet.  Yet, Trump has hammered Russia with sanctions, has been in Ukraine's corner (which includes sending them aid), has stood tough against Russia in the Middle East, is hurting Russia economically with our increase in domestic oil production, and we've stood up to Russia militarily as we build up our military strength.

If Trump is Putin's puppet, he sure has a weird way of showing it.

Fake Allegations Against Kavanaugh

By Douglas V. Gibbs
Author, Speaker, Instructor, Radio Host

I am so ready for the circus to end.  The Democrats are doing what they usually do, but with technology out there, they can't seem to win with their idiocy, anymore.

Hence, the reason they want control over the internet, net neutrality, and support the censorship being perpetuated by their social media allies.

Of course a woman suddenly appeared accusing Kavanaugh of sexual harassment.  It allegedly happened thirty years ago, and finding out that it is possible that Kavanaugh was a horny teenage male is supposed to somehow be shocking.

Then, suddenly the witness who is supposed to say it did happen, said it didn't.  Other people have also come to Kavanaugh's aid, painting him as someone other than what he is being accused of.

The accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, is a Democrat operative, anyway.

She’s accused Kavanaugh of forcing himself on her at a party in the early 1980s when she was 15 and he was 17.

Here's the problems:

11. Ford’s therapist’s notes of the incident don’t match her current version of the story.
Ford says Kavanaugh pinned her down and attempted to take off her bathing suit; in the room also, she said, was his friend, Mark Judge. Ford first told this story in 2012 — about 30 years later — to her therapist during couples therapy. The therapist’s notes from that session don’t name Brett Kavanaugh and also report Ford said four men were in the room. Ford says the discrepancy is the fault of the therapist. 

10. Ford, by her own admission, has a hazy recollection of the incident.
Despite telling The Washington Post this incident so traumatized her she’s been in recovery ever since, she also admitted not recalling the incident specifically. She doesn’t remember the year it happened, but believes it occurred in 1982, when she was 15 and Kavanaugh was 17. She does not recall where the incident occurred, only that it was at a house in Montgomery County, Md. She forgets whose house it was and how she got there. She forgot whether Kavanaugh and Judge were already upstairs when she went up, or if they came up after her. She also forgot how she got home that night. 

9. Polygraph tests are so unreliable they are inadmissible in court.
Polygraph tests do not have any reliable capacity to detecting the veracity of a statement, and are therefore inadmissible in criminal proceedings (except in rare circumstances where both parties agree). Here’s how the law firm Broden & Mickelsen explain polygraph tests: “The machines measure a person’s biological processes to determine if they are becoming stressed out during interrogations. Factors such as an increase in blood pressure or heart rate are measured. While these may be indicators that a person is lying, they may also simply indicate that a suspect is feeling pressurized by the interrogation even if they are telling the truth.” 

8. The allegation wasn’t released until Kavanaugh’s hearings were over.
Ford’s story first surfaced in July when she sent a letter to her congressman, Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.). That letter was forwarded to Sen. Dianne Feinstein in late July. For reasons Feinstein has not disclosed, she kept the letter secret until after Kavanaugh’s hearings concluded, missing repeated opportunities to question Kavanaugh directly. By releasing the letter after the hearings concluded, Kavanaugh is effectively robbed of an opportunity to defend himself directly in a public forum. Feinstein has suggested she sought to simply honor Ford’s request for confidentiality. Yet that doesn’t explain her not bringing the matter up during the hearings, as she could have left the accuser nameless. 

7. Kavanaugh has successfully passed six FBI background checks.
Brett Kavanaugh has already served in many of the highest levels of government, almost all of which required extensive FBI background checks. He passed all of these without incident. As Sen. Grassley wrote Monday, “Judge Kavanaugh has undergone six FBI full-field investigations from 1993 to 2018. No such allegation resembling the anonymous claims ever surfaced.” 

6. 65 women who knew Kavanaugh in high school have vouched for his character.
Unlike other recent #MeToo accusations, there are no similar stories from other Kavanaugh contemporaries. Indeed, it’s the opposite. After Ford’s anonymous allegation surfaced, a group of women who knew Kavanaugh in high school signed a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, collectively serving as a character witness for Kavanaugh.
“Through the more than 35 years we have known him, Brett has stood out for his friendship, character, and integrity. In particular, he has always treated women with decency and respect. That was true when he was in high school, and it has remained true to this day.” 

5. The only witnesses deny her allegation.
Besides Ford, there are only two other named parties: Brett Kavanaugh himself and his friend, Mark Judge. Both have issued vehement denials. Ford, per the Washington Post, also named two others who were in attendance that night. The Washington Post said neither party responded to requests for comment. 

4. The haze of alcohol.
By Ford’s own telling, she was drinking the night of the incident. She says Kavanaugh was heavily intoxicated by did not indicate her own level of sobriety. Did alcohol affect her perception of the incident that night, or her memory of it? The Washington Post account does not describer her level of intoxication when the incident occurred. 

3. Deleted her public social media accounts before revealing herself.
As The Washington Post reported, Ford deleted all of her public social media before she came forward, making it difficult to see the advocacy and partisanship she was engaged in the time leading up to her making her allegation public. Of course, Ford may simply value her privacy, but the act of deleting her public postings will inevitably make some wonder what she didn’t want seen. 

2. Ford may have an unrelated grudge against Kavanaugh, as his mother, once a circuit court judge, ruled against Ford’s parents
In August 1996, Christine Blasey Ford’s parents, Paula and Ralph Blasey, were foreclosed upon. Kavanaugh’s mom, Martha, was then serving as a judge on the Montgomery Country Circuit Court, and she ruled against Christine Ford’s parents. (Information about the case is available here.) This is more significant in the context of Ford’s students reporting she harbors grudges against those who “cross her.” 

1. Ford is a Democrat who donates to left-wing causes, attended the anti-Trump March for Science, and previously signed an open letter challenging Trump’s border policy.
Ford is a political activist who has made dozens of donations to left-wing causes. According to OpenSecrets, she has made more than 60 donations to liberal causes, with almost four dozen to the pro-abortion group, Emily’s List, alone. Ford also donated to the DNC, Hillary Clinton (more than 10 times), Bernie Sanders, and the progressive organizing group ActBlue. 

Ford likewise attended the anti-Trump March for Science, where she wore a hat knitted like a human brain, but inspired by the feminist “pussy hats” worn at the Women’s Marches. Ford also added her name to an open letter from health professionals who argued the U.S. border policy resulting in temporary separation of some families was harmful to children’s development. The letter, titled “America’s Health Professionals Appeal to Trump Administration: End Family Separation at Border Immediately,” argued: 

“Thousands of medical voices from across the United States have joined forces with Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) to urge the Trump administration to immediately halt the separation of migrant and asylum seeking children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. … 

“It should not be U.S. policy to traumatize children, and especially not as a form of indirect punishment of their parents. … 

“Forced separation of children and parents, especially in connection with the detention of a parent, can constitute an adverse childhood experience, which research links with disrupted neurodevelopment, resulting in social, emotional, and cognitive impairment, and even negative intergenerational effects.”

If the internet, and this kind of ability to look back and collect data, had been around when I was a young man, Robert Bork would be on the United States Supreme Court.

One thing is for sure. . . this anti-Trump platform the Democrats have created is crazier than many actually realize.  The leftist faithful have gone so deep into the rabbit hole of buying the never-trump garbage that the true craziness has been emerging.  In fact, one anti-Trump professor is so nuts, to show his hate for Trump he shot himself in the arm.

Crazy.  The Democrat Party has become a mental health crisis.
