The Rest. 1

I completely agree with Representative Doug Collins, minority leader on the House Judiciary Committee, who claims Democrats are a clear and present danger to our country.  This item provides that portion of his opening comments as the Democrats undertook efforts to ram through their manufactured and completely unfounded impeachment charges against President Trump.    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/12/watch-republican-rep-doug-collins-slams-democrats-for-being-a-clear-and-present-danger-to-america/?

Much to the dismay of Democrats the good news of Trump's successes continue to pile up.  Quote: "With U.K. conservatives earning a dominant Brexit endorsement and the Trump Administration about to pen Phase I of a trade deal with China, American workers are about to take a victory lap."   https://www.libertyplanet.com/articles/uk-elections-china-trade-deal-mean-big-wins-for-working-americans/    Part of their disdain for Trump is his multitude of successes despite their efforts to obstruct him at every turn. His victories expose their massive incompetence.

This should disturb anyone regardless of political affiliation.  It is now an established fact that the Obama administration illegally abused the FISA court for their purely political purposes.  One observation with which I totally agree is this: "A very disturbing fact about the wire tapping request of President Trump is that the FISA Court turned down President Obama’s Administration’s first request to wire tap President Trump that was evidently signed off on by Attorney General Lynch. With only two applications denied out of 10,700 from 2009 through 2015, the fact that the Obama Administration’s application was denied by the FISA Court is very disturbing. The odds of this happening were 0.02%.  The Obama Presidency is clearly the most corrupt in US history.  Horowitz remains silent on this in his 450 plus page report."    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/12/exclusive-the-1st-deep-state-fisa-warrant-on-page-was-the-1-in-10000-denied-by-the-court-for-some-reason-doj-ig-horowitz-left-this-out-of-his-report/?  As bad as the report is for Obama and his minions one has to wonder what else Horowitz did not tell us.

The justices sitting on the FISA court are unhappy with the unethical behavior the FBI committed with their promotion of fake dossier justifications as outlined in the Horowitz report and will want to certify that fixes made meet with their approval. The Chief Justice of the FISA court demands the FBI fix their unethical mess. Quote: ""The FBI's handling of the Carter Page applications, as portrayed in the [Office of Inspector General] report, was antithetical to the heightened duty of candor described above," Collyer said in the order. "The frequency with which representations made by FBI personnel turned out to be unsupported or contradicted by information in their possession, and with which they withheld information detrimental to their case, calls into question whether information contained in other FBI applications is reliable."  And,  "Collyer did not specify what reforms the FBI needs to make, but the court will still need to determine if the FBI's plans are sufficient. "The [FISA court] expects the government to provide complete and accurate information in every filing with the court," Collyer wrote. "Without it, the [FISA court] cannot properly ensure that the government conducts electronic surveillance for foreign intelligence purposes only when there is a sufficient factual basis."    https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/fisa-court-fbi-michael-horowitz/2019/12/17/id/946346/?   More:   https://dailycaller.com/2019/12/17/fisa-judge-fbi-carter-page/

The UN is as unethical as our own Democrat party. This piece makes the point.  Quote: "Despite the increased hysteria from climate change alarmists, the United Nations’ Climate Change Conference, or COP25, ended in a bust. Attendees were unable to pass a multinational agreement to reduce carbon emissions by the end of the Madrid summit, despite the conference being extending an additional two days and nights. Negotiators will have to return to the table at the end of 2020 in Glasgow to take another crack at it."  And,  "For decades, globalists have predicted the world would be ending if we didn’t address what they consider to be man-made environmental issues. Trouble is, most of those who tout these climate agreements don’t act as though they actually believe in the perils they decry."  Here is partial proof of a whole lot more.  "Dire predictions of Manhattan being underwater didn’t stop climate change “believer” and former President Barack Obama from buying an estate in Martha’s Vineyard or his former vice president, Joe Biden, from buying a waterfront home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware."    https://www.westernjournal.com/climate-change-urgent-un-decides-not-bother-year-puts-off-another-time/      Given the very well known rank dishonesty of these two Climate Change advocates we know their real reasoning for ridiculous claims. They demand taxpayers give government more and more money to waste on popular but frivolous causes. Everyone who pushes this fraud on innocent people are Total Hypocrites.

Many of those of us who are actually paying attention to the presidential political campaign have concluded that something is not quite right with Democrat candidate Pete Buttigieg. There are several indicators previously covered but this one really is disturbing.  If this is his political orientation then he must be disqualified as a candidate and never ever elected president of the United States. Quote: "Pete Buttigieg kicks off his Latino outreach campaign with a slogan popularized by communists.   It's been used by the Cuban and Venezuelan governments for years."    https://www.theblaze.com/news/pete-buttigieg-communist-slogan?

If this hate filled egotistical and grossly disrespectful hate filled Hollywood reprobate were my son I would disown him.  Quote: "Robert De Niro: I'd 'Disown' My Kids If They Acted Like President Trump's Kids."  To my way of thinking Trump's kids behave far better than does De Niro."    https://townhall.com/tipsheet/juliorosas/2019/12/16/robert-de-niro-id-disown-my-kids-if-they-acted-like-president-trumps-kids-n2558082?

The Democrat socialist political leadership of Pennsylvania almost makes me ashamed to claim it as my home state.  They are so far to the left that they are off the charts. Here is just one example. Quote: "Today, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro issued a tortured opinion defining partially-manufactured receivers as firearms.  This opinion flies in stark contrast to the current, and widely held, understanding that receivers that are unfinished and require additional work to operate as a functional frame or receiver are not considered firearms and therefore aren’t regulated as such. Shapiro relies on two arguments to arrive at this absurd result.  One, that unfinished receivers are “designed” to expel a projectile by action of an explosive. It doesn’t take a law degree to figure out how backward this thinking is.   Partially-manufactured lowers are explicitly designed so that they are unable to expel a projectile by action of an explosive without further work.  In other words, by their very nature, they are not firearms. Two, Shapiro claims that these receivers “may be readily converted (to expel a projectile)” which he argues is analogous to the “may readily be restored” language of the federal National Firearms Act."  And,  "With this make-believe bridge, Shapiro then imports federal case law concerning the “may be readily restored” (to a machine gun) language to draw up extremely broad contours of what would be considered a firearm under state law. He uses extreme case law to lower the threshold for what constitutes a firearm to facilitate his anti-gun position and leanings. Shapiro’s “theory” of treating non-functioning blocks of polymer, steel, or aluminum as “firearms” is the equivalent of calling a pile of aluminum tubes a bicycle or even considering a hickory or ash tree a baseball bat."    https://www.nraila.org/articles/20191216/pennsylvania-attorney-general-issues-opinion-on-partially-finished-receivers-in-extreme-deviation-from-federal-law     The extremes far left wing reprobates will go to violate the Constitution is beyond the pale.

To follow-up on the previous paragraph here is a copy of a Letter To The Editor I submitted to our local newspaper regarding our state's left wing leadership.  

     "Now that Governor Wolf is safely ensconced in office for a second term he has as many of us predicted turned hard left politically. He apparently does not realize that the public is rapidly losing faith in the Democrat party. Their obvious contempt of we the people is palpable. Apparently, so does our governor.  Here are examples of his betrayal of the interests of a very large percentage of his constituents.
