Sen Elizabeth dinky-Warren Ambushed –
Exposed As Part Of Privileged Elite She Attacks
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Hypocrisy is just part of being a Democrat, pretending they’re something they’re not is what most of them base their political careers upon... Elizabeth dinky-Warren has proven over the years to be among the most blatant and offensive of all Democrat hypocrites, particularly adept at exploiting every opportunity to pander at a moment’s notice. She might have thought this interview was one of those opportunities. It wasn’t. dinky-Warren was ambushed with a question she couldn’t answer about the inconsistencies of her having considerable wealth as she makes her career railing against others who are like her. She chooses to attempt to draw a distinction of how much money she was born into as somehow being significant as to the legitimacy of her inclusion in the top one percent... https://rickwells.us/warren-ambushed-privileged-elite/.
How to Grow the Middle Class
by Truth Revolt
{truthrevolt.org} ~ Politicians are always talking about growing the middle class. But what policies can actually accomplish that goal? Watch this short economics video to find out... This video is part of a collaborative business and economics project with Job Creators Network and Information Station. If Democrats and Republicans can agree on anything, it’s stagnating wages. Median family income dropped from $57,790 in 2000 to $56,516 in 2015... http://www.truthrevolt.org/commentary/prager-u-how-grow-middle-class.
Plame Knew What She Was Tweeting
by Alan M. Dershowitz
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ Valerie Plame had to know what she was tweeting. Plame retweeted a virulently anti-Semitic article by a well-known bigot, which she characterized as "thoughtful."... Now she's trying to make excuses, but they don't wash. The article by Phillip Giraldi itself contains the usual anti-Semitic tropes: Jews are guilty of dual loyalty; they control politicians, the media and entertainment; they want the US to fight wars for the country to which they have real allegiance-- Israel; they are dangerous to America. Giraldi has been pushing this garbage for years and Plame is one of his fans... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11042/plame-knew-what-she-was-tweeting.
Oregon Democrats Cheer
Taxpayer-Subsidized Death
by Jordan Candler: “In such a divided country, it is rare to see that much joy on the faces of government officials,” Gary Bauer observes, referring to the above image. “What do you think these politicians are celebrating? A solution to homelessness? No. Lower taxes? Not a chance. New business development? Nope.” Disturbingly, what the picture manifests is the Democrat jubilation at Monday’s signing ceremony for HB 3391.
by Jordan Candler: “In such a divided country, it is rare to see that much joy on the faces of government officials,” Gary Bauer observes, referring to the above image. “What do you think these politicians are celebrating? A solution to homelessness? No. Lower taxes? Not a chance. New business development? Nope.” Disturbingly, what the picture manifests is the Democrat jubilation at Monday’s signing ceremony for HB 3391. In addition to mandating that insurers cover the abortion expenses of Oregon’s entire citizenry, this despicable piece of legislation — enacted into law last month by Democrat Gov. Kate Brown — also creates a $500,000 pool from which abortion-seeking illegal immigrants can scrounge. It’s an unprecedented step in the Left’s obsession with expanding abortion “rights,” so don’t be surprised to see other blue states follow.
Sadly, these aren’t the first and only Democrats to celebrate such grotesque abortion practices. Two years ago, Planned Parenthood officials were caught fantasizing over how to spend the money they were collecting through fetal harvesting. Planned Parenthood Medical Directors’ Council president Dr. Mary Gatter spelled out her atrocious motivation for her illegal actions: “I want a Lamborghini.”
Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains medical director Dr. Savita Ginde remarked, “I think a per-item thing works a little better just because we can see how much [money] we can get out of it.” These and other distressing remarks and activity, revealed through Center for Medical Progress undercover videos, show Planned Parenthood workers not just nonchalant about the idea but even jovial as they swoon over the financial windfall.
Some prominent Democrat politicians have tried to say that, though they are “pro-choice,” abortion is a tough topic. But deep down, they don’t really feel that way. Just look at the reactions of Oregon Democrats and Planned Parenthood officials. Having indifferent feelings about — or, worse yet, willingly paying for — a child’s death is no laughing matter. Oregon and Planned Parenthood show just how far down the dark path abortion will take you. And it will only get worse. ~The Patriot Post

WE’VE GOT HIM WHERE HE WANTS US
by Burt Prelutsky
If Kim Jong-un is crazy, he’s as crazy as the proverbial fox. You know the one I mean, the fox who’s very chubby and has a bad haircut.
The West is so terrified of using a nuclear bomb, all the little bastard needs to do is threaten to take out Seoul or Tokyo or Guam, and the world is ready to pay him whatever ransom he might demand. Like one of those super villains who used to populate the James Bond movies, he could demand and collect a ransom in the trillions of dollars.
And once Iran’s mullahs saw how easy it is, they could follow suit by threatening to nuke London, Paris or Tel Aviv.
The whole point of having a nuclear arsenal is as a deterrent, but once everyone realizes that the so-called civilized nations are so terrified of being ostracized by the global community -- a community that just happens to include tyrants, despots and run-of-the-mill gangsters -- any creep can use it to his advantage.
Heck, Europe and the U.S. are more willing to let their citizens be butchered by Islamic terrorists than be seen acting decisively to evict their Muslim populations. Donald Trump was derided for pointing out that Scotland Yard had the perpetrators of the recent train bombing on their radar, but did nothing to prevent it. Prime Minister Teresa May, who comes across more like a schoolmarm than as the leader of a once great nation, basically told him to go sit in the corner for being so boorish.
But the fact is, virtually every act of terrorism is carried out by a group of Islamic cretins who are already suspected by the authorities of being potential jihadists. But, of course, until they blow up a train, a restaurant or a concert hall, there’s nothing that can be done about it. To me, that makes about as much sense as not killing a rattlesnake because it hasn’t yet bitten you.
When you’re engaged in a street fight with a bunch of goons, you don’t pause to consider what the Marquis of Queensbury would advise. If you’ve got a knife, you use it. If you have a gun, so much the better. If you have a nuke, best of all.
It used to be said that a conservative was a liberal who’d just been mugged. But we in the West have been mugged time and again, and some people suggest we simply grin and bear it, that it’s something they’re calling “the new normal.”
Worse yet, our leaders stick out their puny jaws and insist the crime will not go unpunished. I suppose there are sillier things they could say, but nothing pops readily to mind. Has it escaped their attention that most of the attacks are carried out by suicide bombers? What more are we going to do to those who believe they are abiding by the will of Allah?
I’m afraid that so long as we pretend that these are isolated crimes and not acts of war, a lot more trains will be blown up and a lot more innocent people are going to be butchered.
● I haven’t really admired a British prime minister since the Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher, showed the world what Winston Churchill would have looked like in a skirt and sensible shoes.
Still, I think their set-up makes far more sense than our own, with politics left to the politicians and trivial matters left in the hands of the monarchy, who have been raised to deal with pomp and circumstance.
In the U.S., we feel compelled to marry the two -- most notably with the Kennedys, an aborted administration that tried to strike a balance between politics on the one hand, and fashion and the arts on the other, with Jack and Jackie reigning as the King and Queen.
And because the President and his brother, the Attorney General, were serial philanderers, they even managed to provide the hoi polloi with the requisite amount of sex scandals, just like their English cousins.
As a result, the country experienced culture shock when the Kennedys were succeeded by Lyndon Baines Johnson and his Lady Bird. It was as if the country had gone from Camelot to the Beverly Hillbillies in the blink of an eye.
● A reader recently asked me who my favorite movie actors have been. There have been many, including Spencer Tracy, Montgomery Clift, Alec Guinness, Gene Hackman, Michael Caine, Humphrey Bogart, William Holden, Claude Rains, Clifton Webb, Edward G. Robinson, Jimmy Stewart, Dana Andrews, Robert Duvall, Charles Coburn, Jean Arthur, Audrey Hepburn, Irene Dunne, Ginger Rogers and, if we limit it strictly to their comedies, Katharine Hepburn, Barbara Stanwyck and Meryl Streep.
But I also have a separate list. On it are those people who were unique. So much so that I can’t even imagine other people in their roles: Charlie Chaplin, Steve Martin, Buster Keaton, Cary Grant and Laurel & Hardy.
● A friend of mine recently found himself in great pain. So, he went to see his doctor, who suggested he make an appointment with a cardiologist. But when he called to set one up, he was told that the cardiologist couldn’t see him until my friend's doctor sent over the necessary paperwork. Because the pain kept increasing, my friend called for an ambulance. He was checked into a hospital, where they spared him a lot of needless tests and went straight to a heart catheterization, which revealed three vessels that were 95% clogged.
They then did a lot of stuff with stents and balloons, which I’ll spare you, and within 48 hours, he was back on his feet and pain-free.
He said that this is the way the homeless among us get healthcare, and he suggested that we should, too.
I replied: “I suspect something similar would have taken place if you had been serving time in prison. And because the taxpayer would have been picking up the tab, no doubt they would have thrown in a face lift, a tummy tuck and a sex change operation.”
