Three More Victims of liar-nObama's War on Cops
by Political Editors: Baltimore detective Sean Suiter was shot and killed last Wednesday and a manhunt is on for his killer — a black male in a black sweatshirt. New Kensington, Pennsylvania, Police Officer Brian Shaw was killed Friday by a fleeing black suspect who is now charged with first degree murder. Two U.S. Border Patrol agents were ambushed by (perhaps) illegal aliens Sunday; Rogelio Martinez was killed and his partner was sent to the hospital with serious injuries. Suiter was black, Shaw was white and Martinez was Hispanic. But there’s a common thread among the killers — they are favored Democrat minority constituents, and it’s as likely as not that they were motivated or enabled by the war-on-cops policies of Barack liar-nObama. Whether it’s urban poverty plantations or open borders, liar-nObama helped exacerbate terrible conditions that resulted in the loss of these three brave law enforcement officers. And the officers’ families will now endure Thanksgiving without them. ~The Patriot Post

Dem Conyers’ Congress Bordello – Tax Money
For Sex, Employees Were His Pimps, Victims
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Michigan Democrat Rep John Conyers, always quick to point out the shortcomings in Republicans... will be spending his immediate future making excuses and attempting to minimize his sexual misconduct that occurred in his office and elsewhere while on official business. Word comes via BuzzFeed that in 2015 Conyers settled a wrongful dismissal complaint that he fired a former employee because she refused his sexual advances. Included in the supporting documents are four signed affidavits from former staff members, that document Conyers’ alleged sexual harassment. He is said to have made repeated sexual advances to female staff members that included asking for sexual favors. They were also dispatched to contact and transport other women they assumed Conyers was having affairs with, unwanted touching of the staffers, rubbing their hands, legs and backs in public... https://rickwells.us/conyers-congress-sex-employees-pimps/.
The GOP is right to ignore pay-as-you-go
by James C. Capretta
{aei.org} ~ The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reported last week that the GOP plan to cut taxes by $1.5 trillion over 10 years would trigger automatic spending cuts under the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act... This includes a $25 billion reduction of what Medicare pays providers for medical services. Republicans are right to ignore, for now, this potential effect of their tax legislation, as they had no role in the enactment of the pay-as-you-go law in the first place and can fix the problem later. It was House and Senate Democrats who rammed the pay-as-you-go legislation through Congress in 2010 just as they were about to lose their supermajority. Democrats today complain about the partisan approach Republicans have taken on health care and taxes. They seem to have forgotten how they ran Congress in 2009 and 2010... http://www.aei.org/publication/the-gop-is-right-to-ignore-pay-as-you-go/?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTldKa05EUm1OREZrTXpFeSIsInQiOiIrQmVpMDVmZ2cxTThPSWVpd2NZdGliRms0Rm41cTI2aDE2ejY1R0dZV3dGMjU5alVyNjZkRDlwejhZdHBTWXpDTU9zS3pEc0RtSVd1ZUFmbFE2R2ptaWRmOEhJVjVVRVwvU2hoQnBtM244RXNvRDJEQk82V2VueU45UGdZWG5EeTQifQ%3D%3D.

'liar-Bill’s guilty' is really a Democrat liar-Hillary ploy
by Russ Vaughn
{americanthinker.com} ~ Those conservatives and Republicans reading the cautious confessions of Democrat players that they may have actually been wrong about liar-Bill Clinton's sexual crimes... could be forgiven if they wrongly believe the scales have fallen at last from the eyes of the left and they can now see how mistaken they once were. While it is tempting to read these mea culpas from liberal pundits and power players within the party, one would be well advised to not go getting all dewy-eyed and sentimental over the turkey table with the mistaken belief that perhaps our Democratic brethren aren't so morally misguided as we've long believed. Before lowering your guard and toasting your liberal family members on their belated awakening to the devil in their midst, you should remember that these are Democrats, both operatives and media flunkies writing at the behest of those operatives, and Democrat operatives always have an ulterior motive... http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/11/bills_guilty_is_really_a_democrat_hillary_ploy.html.
Democrats are Putting Our
Security at Risk with Russia Nonsense
{fixthisnation.com} ~ President Donald Trump demonstrated real courage and strength in Vietnam last week, despite the media’s attempts to make it look like just the opposite... Think about it: Trump is being accused without any evidence at all of colluding with Moscow in a successful effort to steal the election away from liar-Hillary Clinton. Merely through a sense of self-preservation, therefore, one would expect him to stay as far away from Russian President Vladimir Putin as possible. And that would have been easy enough; there is broad consensus on both sides of the aisle that Russia can’t be trusted, and Trump is gaining virtually nothing – politically – by going out of his way to reach out to the Kremlin. And yet he did. On several occasions in Vietnam last week, Trump spoke with Putin despite all of the attempts on the part of his aides to keep them apart. Why? Because he knows what Democrats and more than a few Republicans can’t seem to figure out, which is that better relations between the U.S. and Russia are not only GOOD for our nation, but indispensable... http://www.fixthisnation.com/conservative-breaking-news/democrats-are-putting-our-security-at-risk-with-russia-nonsense/

UNSERIOUS NATION
by PATRICK J. BUCHANAN
{wnd.com} ~ How stands John Winthrop’s “city upon a hill” this Thanksgiving?
How stands the country that was to be “a light unto the nations”?
To those who look to cable TV for news, the answer must at the least be ambiguous. For consider the issues that have lately convulsed the public discourse of the American republic.
Today’s great question seems to be whether our 45th president is as serious a sexual predator as our 42nd was proven to be, and whether the confessed sins of Sen. Al Franken are as great as the alleged sins of Judge Roy Moore.
On both questions, the divide is, as ever, along partisan lines.
And every day for weeks, beginning with Hollywood king Harvey Weinstein, whose accusers nearly number in three digits, actors, media personalities and politicians have been falling like nine pins over allegations and admissions of sexual predation.
What is our civil rights issue, and who are today’s successors to the Freedom Riders of the ’60s? Millionaire NFL players “taking a knee” during the national anthem to dishonor the flag of their country to protest racist cops.
And what was the great cultural issue of summer and fall?
An ideological clamor to tear down memorials and monuments to the European discoverers of America, any Founding Father who owned slaves and any and all Confederate soldiers and statesmen.
Stained-glass windows of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson have been removed from the National Cathedral. Plaques to Lee and George Washington have been taken down from the walls of the Episcopal church in Alexandria where both men worshiped.
But the city that bears Washington’s name is erecting a new statue on Pennsylvania Avenue – to honor the four-term mayor who served time on a cocaine charge: Marion Shepilov Barry.
Whatever side one may take on these questions, can a country so preoccupied and polarized on such pursuits be taken seriously as a claimant to be the “exceptional nation,” a model to which the world should look and aspire?
Contrast the social, cultural and moral morass in which America is steeped with the disciplined proceedings and clarity of purpose, direction and goals of our 21st-century rival: Xi Jinping’s China.
Our elites assure us that America today is a far better place than we have ever known, surely better than the old America that existed before the liberating cultural revolution of the 1960s.
Yet President Trump ran on a pledge to “Make America Great Again,” implying that while the America he grew up in was great, in the time of Barack liar-nObama it no longer was. And he won.
Certainly, the issues America dealt with half a century ago seem more momentous than what consumes us today.
Consider the matters that riveted America in the summer and fall of 1962, when this columnist began to write editorials for the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. What was the civil rights issue of that day?
In September of ’62, Gov. Ross Barnett decided not to allow Air Force vet James Meredith to become the first black student at Ole Miss. Attorney General Robert Kennedy sent U.S. marshals to escort Meredith in.
Hundreds of demonstrators arrived on campus to join student protests. A riot ensued. Dozens of marshals were injured. A French journalist was shot to death. The Mississippi Guard was federalized. U.S. troops were sent in, just as Ike had sent them into Little Rock when Gov. Orville Faubus refused to desegregate Central High.
U.S. power was being used to enforce a federal court order on a recalcitrant state government, as it would in 1963 at the University of Alabama, where Gov. George Wallace stood in the schoolhouse door.
As civil rights clashes go, this was the real deal.
That fall, in a surprise attack, Chinese troops poured through the passes in the Himalayas, invading India. China declared a truce in November but kept the territories it had occupied in Jammu and Kashmir.
Then there was the Cuban missile crisis, the most dangerous crisis of the Cold War.
Since August, the Globe-Democrat had been calling for a blockade of Cuba, where Soviet ships were regularly unloading weapons. When President Kennedy declared a “quarantine” after revealing that missiles with nuclear warheads that could reach Washington were being installed, the Globe urged unity behind him, as it had in Oxford, Mississippi.
We seemed a more serious and united nation and people then than we are today, where so much that roils our society and consumes our attention seems unserious and even trivial.
“And how can man die better than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods?” wrote the British poet Thomas Macaulay.
Since 1962, this nation has dethroned its God and begun debates about which of the flawed but great men who created the nation should be publicly dishonored. Are we really a better country today than we were then, when all the world looked to America as the land of the future?
