Pulosi, Dems Expect Trump To
Cave – DACA Amnesty Without Border Wall
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Nancy Pulosi is asked by George Stephanopoulos whether or not the Democrats are willing to shut down the government to keep the borders open... effectively asking whether their objective of changing the face and composition of America and adding to their base is that important. He says, “You say you don’t want to shut down the government but the White House has made it pretty clear, if the President doesn’t get his priorities, like the wall, with the government funding bill in December, that they are not going to have the votes to keep the government open.” Short-circuiting and sputtering a bit, Pulosi asks, “Why are you putting that on us? They have the majority in the House and the Senate and the President’s signature. They have the power to keep government open. Of course she’s being her usual deceptive, dishonest self...They're just dreaming. https://rickwells.us/pelosi-trump-cave-daca-wall/.
Sen. Graham Predicts Republicans Will
Pass Tax Reform: 'If We Don't, We're Dead'
by Susan Jones
{cnsnews.com} ~ If Republicans don't get tax reform done, "We're dead," Sen. Lindsey Graham told CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday... "Are you going to get tax reform done?" host John Dickerson asked the senator. "Yes. If we don't, we're dead," Graham said. "If we don't cut tax and we don't eventually repeal and replace liar-nObamacare, then we're going to lose across the board in the House in 2018, and all of my colleagues running in primaries in 2018 will probably get beat. It will be the end of Mitch McConnell as we know it... https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/sen-graham-predicts-republicans-will-pass-tax-reform-if-we-dont-were-dead?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTUdWbE9EZ3dNalkzTUdFeSIsInQiOiJjOXZIWmY0aUJNTzJ3NmlVaUZKY1cxdnlwWlpLUzNCSUZoZnZMWFZQaWVtaG5kQ2dZRlFBNnJmdmI2ZUZ2b3VFMTBMaVVocVwvNjV5Q0EwTXB2ZFIyeDI5OENPZGFtNHJcL3BZSHN4NXRabUpPa2JHRTJsbitmYTRmeDU3aFFCNTBSIn0%3D.
liar-Clinton – Better Brainwashing, Distortions
and Lies Key To Taking Back White House
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ liar-Hillary Clinton made an appearance Sunday on CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS (Grotesque Physical Specimen). Zakaria is a CFR member born in Mumbai, India, to a Konkani Muslim family... His father was an Islamic theologian. They are both actively engaged in facilitating the globalist takeover of America. liar-Clinton laid out where the left, at least the left that she represents and takes her instructions from, is headed and exposes some of the real aims of what they’re doing behind the facade of an American political party. As she panders to every identity political group, she asks the Muslim Zakaria at the 2:17 mark of the video, for those who can only take just so much liar-Clinton, “Why are we scapegoating Muslims?... https://rickwells.us/clinton-brainwashing-distortions-lies/.
North Korea May Have Actually
Nuked Itself Out Of A Nuclear Test Site
by Jack Davi
{westernjournalism.com} ~ North Korea may be losing its war with the earth. After a powerful nuclear test on Sept. 3 that North Korea said was a hydrogen bomb... four earthquakes have now struck the region where the regime tests its weapons, leading some experts to say the site may no longer be functional. “The explosion from the Sept. 3 test had such power that the existing tunnels within the underground testing site might have caved in,” said Kim So-gu, head researcher at the Korea Seismological Institute... https://www.westernjournalism.com/north-korea-may-actually-nuked-nuclear-test-site/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=dailyam&utm_content=western-journal.
liar-Clinton Booed In UK
As She’s “Honored” With Fake Award
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Often when the left wants to elevate their despicable operatives and to provide them with a platform from which to spew their effluent... they will offer them some kind of stupid, meaningless award that means nothing but has the appearance of attaching a certain undeserved dignity to them. That’s what former French President Hollande did when he gave Arnold Schwarzenegger some kind of dumb fake climate award right before he left office in April and it’s what the leftists at Swansea University in Wales did with the criminal liar-Hillary Clinton. The Saturday charade took the form of most damaging, vile espionage criminal of all time being given a boost to her hopelessly tarnished image and presented with an award, laughably, for her “commitment” to promoting the rights of families and children. Sure she’s made a career of profiting on and abusing women and children right along with the men of America and the world, but it is, after all, a phony award... https://rickwells.us/clinton-booed-uk-law-school/.

MAD AS HELL
by Burt Prelutsky
Because I am always scribbling little notes to myself, half the time I don’t know where I’ve collected the grist for my little mill. Some information I gather on TV, some off the Internet, others in books and magazines or even in conversation. That’s why it throws me when some of you ask me for a source. It’s not that I’m trying to be evasive when I claim not to recall, it’s that I usually don’t remember. I suppose I could take the time to keep track, but that would make it feel too much like a high school homework assignment.
So, here’s the deal. I’ll keep doing what I do, and if anyone discovers that I’m mistaken and lets me know about it, I’ll publish a retraction. What’s more, I won’t bury it among the classifieds, the way that your hometown newspaper does.
● One of my readers wrote to complain that if he watches Fox for even an hour, he seems cursed to come across Juan Williams, about whom he writes: “I’ve yet to hear him say a single thing that isn’t a regurgitation of Democratic propaganda.”
I replied: “I only watch three Fox shows: Bret Baier, Tucker Carlson and, on Sunday, ‘Media Buzz’ with Howard Kurtz, which may be why I haven’t had to put up with Mr. Williams in several months. On the other hand, perhaps the reason I limit myself to those three shows is because he doesn’t appear on any of them.
When I used to see him on a regular basis, I found him to be so consistently moronic, I wondered if he wasn’t playing or, perhaps, over-playing, his designated role as Fox’s token black liberal, making white conservative viewers grateful that they were neither liberal nor black.”
● Another of my readers, Patrick Miano, let me know that “In the good old days when the United Kingdom hanged at least some murderers, there were ‘aggravated circumstances’ which were requirements for the death penalty. One of them was murder by shooting. Why the British considered using a gun to murder someone worse than using a knife or poison is beyond me.”
Because nothing, I like to think, is beyond me, I suggested the following: “My guess is that knives and poison are personal, and the Brits assumed if you wanted to kill a spouse or a rich relative, you were going to go ahead and do it, no matter the additional risk. A gun, on the other hand, is a weapon a career criminal would employ, and the fact it could lead to his being hanged might curtail its use.”
● Football players, who are rapidly replacing defense attorneys as the most despised group of people in America, were unanimous in denouncing V.P. Pence’s departure from a Colts-49er game as a stunt. Apparently, they would have us believe that kneeling during the National Anthem isn’t a stunt. Or perhaps they simply believe they have a patent when it comes to stunts.
● Dianne Feinstein has put all our minds to rest by announcing she will be running for re-election. Which means that we will soon have another person in their 90s serving in the U.S. Senate. If this keeps up, they are going to have to widen the aisles in the chamber in order to make room for all the walkers and oxygen tanks.
● I saw a cartoon of a big, angry-looking woman in a store yelling at a male customer: “I am a strong independent woman who doesn’t need a man. Now pay for my ridiculously inexpensive birth control!”
It makes me wonder how it is that all those young single women who keep insisting how strong they are don’t notice a certain contradiction when they keep insisting, one, that colleges provide them with safe spaces filled with blankets, teddy bears and endless cups of cocoa; and, two, that the rest of us provide them with health insurance up to the age of 26 and abortions until they reach menopause.
● Somewhere, I read that when sociopaths used a bomb to murder 168 people and injure 680 others in 1995, it wasn’t a “gun problem.” And when, on 9/11, sociopaths used airplanes to murder 2,977 people and injure 6,000 others, it wasn’t regarded as an “airplane problem.” Moreover, when a sociopath used a truck to murder 85 people and injure 458 others in 2016, it wasn’t a “truck problem.”
Yet, when sociopaths use a gun to murder people, Democrats always label it a “gun problem.”
What they don’t do is make it any easier to identify and institutionalize sociopaths. It could lead a person to conclude that liberals are more concerned with confiscating guns than they are with preventing mass-killings.
● One of my readers, Elaine Pitts, reports that years ago, she and a male cousin exchanged comments about the enormous perks available to politicians. Whereas Elaine thought members of Congress should live in barracks, ride shuttle buses and eat in mess halls, her cousin countered that they should live in tents, ride bicycles and brown bag it.
Ms. Pitts felt that either of their plans “would rule out those seeking office for fame, fortune and power. Then maybe we would have politicians who are there to actually serve their constituents, do their job in D.C. and then return home to a real job.”
I replied: “I’d prefer them to stay home and never go to D.C. They could communicate through audio-visual devices the way that major corporations do when they have offices situated all over the globe. Otherwise, it’s asking too much that people serve in the House or Senate, and then go back home after a few years and pick up where they left off. Even I would have a tough time and I’m just a writer. But if I had a business or a law or medical practice, it would be too great a hardship.
“The solution I would really prefer is that we deflate the federal government, so that its only functions would be those spelled out in the Constitution.”
The truth is, the only reason that those 535 legislators congregate in Washington, D.C. is to provide lobbyists with the convenience of one-stop shopping.
● I came across something that explains the state of race relations in terms anyone can understand: “If a white person moves out of a neighborhood, it constitutes white flight. If he moves in, it’s gentrification.
“If a white person either notices the color or fails to notice the color of another human being’s skin, he’s either a racist or he’s choosing to ignore racism.
“If a white person engages in a different culture, he’s guilty of cultural appropriation. If he doesn’t engage, he’s being non-inclusive.”
In other words, whitey, whatever you do or don’t do, say or don’t say, you can’t escape being a racist.
● A couple of things I wouldn’t know if I only watched Fox, I discovered in the pages of The New American. It seems that I occasionally can recall where I learned something.
It seems that the cyberweapon used in the ransomware attack last May that led, among other things, to ambulances being rerouted, surgeries to be rescheduled, manufacturers to halt production and airlines to cancel flights, was developed by, and then lost control of, by the NSA.
The reason the attack was such a rousing success, though, was because Microsoft had left a vulnerability in their products that could only be prevented with a patch they only made available to those using selected versions of Windows or those who had purchased an extended security agreement plan.
Various Big Brothers are not only watching you these days, but allowing our enemies to join them.
As dangerous as Iran and North Korea are, we may in the long run have far more to fear from the snoops in the intelligence community and the titans of Silicon Valley.
The other thing I found out is that the Mormons are pulling 180,000 older teens out of the Boy Scouts of America, moving them into a scouting program of their own.
As Matthew Bowman, a Mormon scholar and history professor, explains: “The church is wedded very much to traditional gender roles and they see the Boy Scouts increasingly moving away from that.”
Although Mormon officials deny it has anything to do with the Scout’s decisions to allow homosexuals to act as Scout leaders and to allow girls to join, one can’t help thinking the Mormons are fibbing. Especially when you discover that the Boy Scouts have also seen mass exoduses from other conservative Christian groups, such as the Southern Baptist Convention and the Assemblies of God.
Some years ago, when the BSA was being challenged to allow homosexuals to become Scout leaders, I wondered why gays didn’t simply save everyone a lot of trouble and start an alternate group of its own. But that would have been too simple and too logical in the madhouse that America has become.
Instead, just like those troublemaking couples who intentionally seek out religious bakers they know will refuse to make cakes for same-sex marriages, the Gay Mafia insists on destroying those groups and individuals who won’t pander to their repulsive life style.
When you look around and see all the mischief being caused by George Soros, Antifa, Black Lives Matter, campus Nazis, Barack liar-nObama’s resistance movement, dishonorable football players, a biased media, a non-functioning Senate and home-grown Islamists, I fear America is having a nervous breakdown.
Unless we come to our collective senses, which is growing increasingly unlikely, I’m afraid one creepy old man in a Vegas hotel room is just the beginning.
One can easily imagine Stephen Paddock parroting the words of Howard Beale in “Network,” as he busted out the window on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Hotel: “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore.”
