Trump poised for clash
with DOJ over classified memo
by KATIE BO WILLIAMS
{thehill.com} ~ The fight over the release of a classified memo alleging FBI misconduct has set up a potentially bitter clash... between President Trump and the Justice Department. Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd — a Trump appointee — wrote in a letter to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) that releasing the memo publicly would be “extraordinarily reckless” and endanger national security. If the Intelligence Committee votes to release the four-page memo, which could happen early as early as next week, Trump would have an opportunity to veto the decision... http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/370801-trump-poised-for-clash-with-doj-over-classified-memo.
The Trump Team Goes
Toe-to-Toe with the Globalists in Davos
by Onan Coca
{ lidblog.com } ~ I’m not sure whether the Trump team’s appearance at Davos should be seen as a “good thing” or... as something that is disheartening for us anti-globalists. The World Economic Forum summit taking place right now in Davos, Switzerland is the ultimate conference for the economic globalists. CEO’s, politicians, power players, and journalists from all over the world converge on Davos to discuss moving the world’s economy ever-forward. So when the Trump team decided to send a delegation that included the President, some wondered if we’d see fireworks. We haven’t. Instead, what we’ve seen is the Trump administration trying to “sell” America First to the world. In an effort to help our allies, friends, and others understand that if we take care of the American people first, the entire world will most certainly benefit... https://lidblog.com/trump-toe-to-toe-globalists/ VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVrtf8x7WuM .
Dumb-Dumb scum-Durbin(D-Ill):
The Poster Child For Repealing 17th Amendment
by Warner Todd Huston and Jeffdunetz
{ lidblog.com } ~ As Washingtonians continue to angle for position over immigration policy... senators like Illinois’ Dumb-Dumb scum-Dick Durbin and New York’s Chuck “I can’t even wear glasses right” clown-Schumer has come to insist that their chief responsibility is to work on behalf of illegal aliens instead of American citizens, an indication that their headlights may be on dim. This situation proves definitively that the founders were right about how to elect senators and that the 17th Amendment was one of America’ greatest mistakes. It should be repealed. The current immigration debate centers on two policies. One is the fate of the so-called DREAMERs — those who were brought into the country illegally by their lawbreaking parents. The second is the idea of “chain migration” — a policy maintaining that once a single illegal is given status he should be allowed to bring dozens of relatives here, children, cousins, uncle’s old lovers, second-cousins 7x removed, etc. Washington is in an uproar over these issues with one side saying that we should only allow immigrants with merit to enter the U.S. while the other side thinks we shouldn’t have any immigration laws at all, and we should let everyone who wants to come here do so whether they are useful to our society or not... https://lidblog.com/dick-durbin-poster-child-repealing-17th-amendment/.

Democrats Have a Tom Steyer Problem 
by Political Editors: Leftist billionaire Tom Steyer has been spending millions on his relentless anti-Donald Trump impeachment campaign. He and the rabid leftist base have become noisy enough that Democrat leaders are carefully distancing themselves from his cause over fears that his activism will paint them (accurately) as the party of ideological extremists and radicals, especially during this election year. Steyer, however, is having none of it, saying, “We’re just telling the truth to the American people, and it’s an important truth. And if you don’t think it’s politically convenient for you, that’s too bad.” Democrats find themselves in a pickle. They welcome his cash — he’s already pumped $30 million into efforts to mobilize Millennial voters for midterm elections — but they also know that, sans any new and substantive evidence, continuing to pound the drum for Trump’s impeachment will only alienate moderate Americans who are fed up with the ultra-partisanship in Washington and quite pleased with their 401(k) balance and their tax reform windfall. The problem is that a recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll shows that Steyer’s impeachment mantra is quite popular with the base, with 70% of Democrats in favor. In other words, he’s speaking the base’s language. The question is, just how big is that base?
Steyer may prove to be more of a headache than an asset to Democrat leaders. As the New York Times’ Alexander Burns writes, “While Democrats intend to run on a fiercely anti-Trump message this year, party leaders envision a campaign of broad attacks on the president’s economic agenda rather than a blunt-force impeachment pledge. There is no realistic chance of impeaching Mr. Trump while Republicans control Congress, and Democrats from moderate and conservative districts fear the idea could alienate voters otherwise likely to vote their way in November. But the Democratic base, enraged by Mr. Trump and frustrated by party leaders counseling restraint, appear enthusiastically open to seeking the president’s removal.”
This is the inherent problem when catering to extremists and radicals — a return to the moderate center will only bring condemnation and accusations of selling out. And the Democrats have been appeasing the far Left for so long now, they’ve essentially lost what used to be their solid, relatively sensible base. Now they increasingly find themselves a party of radicals and extremists on the fringes of society. As Ronald Reagan famously quipped, “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party; the Democratic Party left me.” ~The Patriot Post
