Was GOP Video Cut Off at Barr Hearing?

If you were watching the House Judiciary Committee hearing which was intended to question Attorney General William Barr yesterday, you’ve learned a few things.

Democratic Representatives enjoy reclaiming their time. As a matter of fact, they ask questions without wanting to hear the answers.

Democrats stopped Barr from answering several questions by reclaiming their time. It appeared that they never intended on giving Barr any time to explain himself.

Representative Jim Jordan R-OH., the top Republican, showed a video of so called peaceful protestors, rioting, setting fires, attacking law enforcement and looting but Chairman Jerrold Nadler D-N.Y., cut it off before it was shown in its entirety.

The ten minute video was cut off about two minutes before its conclusion.

Nadler said that the video was out of order. He went on to say that Republicans had not provided adequate notice that they were going to play it and criticized its length.

Well this video is available, so far, because you never really know how long it will take before a video will be available until it is zapped from view.

When Democrats, along with Internet moguls and the mainstream media don’t want something shown, it’s taken down.

Here watch this video before someone removes it.

Has fear gotten the best of Americans? If you wear a mask to drive alone in your car or when you exercise or just go for a walk, you’ve been fear mongered.

If you believe that there is no cure for COVID-19 you’ve been watching too much television, especially the mainstream media.

The Democrats have been trying to destroy President Trump and his administration from his inauguration day and it hasn’t stopped.

We are at the stage in our country when the Democratic party is corrupt and will ruin their own country and kill Her people so that they can blame Trump and cover up their evil deeds.

You just have to look around and pay attention to what they started with a Russian hoax and, with several other diversions, for example an impeachment inquiry over no facts, destruction of property by so called peaceful protestors, rioters and looters and of course a PANDEMIC.

They have withheld drugs that cure people who have the coronavirus just so that Trump would not look good by naming part of the cure.

Pay attention folks. Know the truth even though it has been buried by the mainstream media.

Watch this video and listen to what doctors from all over America are saying.

Youtube took the video down but you can clink on this link:

SEE VIDEO HERE

Now digest what you have seen. Trump mentioned hydroxychloroquine. He knew about it so the Democrats refused to help people with the drug.

You have a duty as an American to vote on November 3rd. You can vote for a party with a presumptive leader who doesn’t know where he is most of the time, and frankly, forgets who he is too or you can re-elect the man and the party (most of the party) who is running the country without pay, to save America.

Resolution to Ban Dem Party Over Slavery Ties?

 
Leave a comment

by Daveda Gruber:

On Thursday Republican Representative Louis Gohmert of Texas led a group of fellow GOP House Representatives and introduced a resolution that would essentially ban the Democratic Party from the House or change their name over past slavery ties.

This came about in response to House Democrats in their efforts to remove statues and pictures of past members of the Confederacy from Congress’s Halls.

The resolution refers to the Democratic Party’s platform that supported slavery from 1840 to 1856. It also refers to other racist actions by members of the party through the early-to-mid 1900’s.

It also calls on Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from California to “remove any items that names, symbolizes or mentions any political organization or party that has ever held a public position that supported slavery or the Confederacy” from the House and its properties.

The bill mentions that such a party “shall either change its name or be barred from participation in the House of Representatives.”

Gohmert put out a statement that accompanies the resolution that says, “As outlined in the resolution, a great portion of the history of the Democratic Party is filled with racism and hatred. Since people are demanding we rid ourselves of the entities, symbols, and reminders of the repugnant aspects of our past, then the time has come for Democrats to acknowledge their party’s loathsome and bigoted past, and consider changing their party name to something that isn’t so blatantly and offensively tied to slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination, and the Ku Klux Klan.”

He also wrote, “To avoid triggering innocent bystanders by the racist past of the Democratic Party, I would suggest they change their name. That is the standard to which they are holding everyone else, so the name change needs to occur.”

Gohmert tweeted this:

Co-sponsors are Representatives Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., Jody Hice, R-Ga., Randy Weber, R-Texas, and Andy Harris, R-Md.

Although the bill is unlikely to pass, but it seems to draw attention to allegedly “blatant hypocrisy” around the House’s recent approval of a measure to remove Confederate busts in the Capitol this week.

After Gohmert spoke on the House floor, Weber spoke about the bill that passed yesterday.

Weber said, “The cancel culture train, H.R. 7573, that passed yesterday, was wrong on a deep level. I’m not going to get on that cancel culture train that says we have to do away with any mention or remembrance of everybody or everything that we don’t agree with, or that might have said something we don’t like, didn’t like, or that might have stood for something that we don’t stand for.”

The resolution is privileged, which means that it takes priority over all other business on the House floor.

If the resolution isn’t dispensed with via voice vote, then lawmakers may be forced to go on the record on the resolution. That could happen through a motion to table it or they could refer it to a committee.

Seventy-two Republicans and Representative Justin Amash, L-Mich., voted in favor of removing statues of Confederates in a 301 to 113 vote.

Here is the resolution:

Democratic Representative Karen Bass of California said, “Just imagine what it feels like as an African American to know that my ancestors built the Capitol, but yet there are monuments to the very people that enslaved my ancestors. These individuals do not deserve to be honored.”

Many consider a significant starting point to slavery in America to be 1619, when the privateer The White Lion brought 20 African slaves ashore in the British colony of  Jamestown, Virginia. The crew had seized the Africans from the Portugese slave ship Sao Jao Bautista.

The 13th Amendment, adopted on December 18, 1865, officially abolished slavery, but freed Black peoples’ status in the post-war South remained precarious, and significant challenges awaited during the Reconstruction period.

Up until then the presidents were of different parties but the Democratic party had more.

Here is a list of presidents before 1865:

George Washington: April 30, 1789 to March 4, 1797   ̶  Unaffiliated

John Adams: March 4, 1797 to March 4, 1801  ̶  Federalist

Thomas Jefferson: March 4, 1801 to March 4, 1809   ̶  Democratic-Republican

James Madison: March 4, 1817 to March 4, 1817  ̶  Democratic-Republican

James Monroe: March 4, 1817 to March 4, 1825   ̶   Democratic-Republican

John Quincy Adams: March 4, 1825 to March 4, 1829  ̶   Democratic-Republican

Andrew Jackson: March 4, 1829 to March 4, 1837  ̶   Democratic

Martin Van Buren: March 4, 1837 to March 4, 1841  ̶   Democratic

William Henry Harrison: March 4, 1841 to April 4, 1841  ̶  Whig

John Tyler: April 4, 1841 to March 4, 1845  ̶  Whig

James K. Polk: March 4, 1845 to March 4, 1849   ̶   Democratic

Zachary Taylor: March 4, 1849 to July 9, 1850   ̶   Whig

Millard Fillmore: July 9, 1850 to March 4, 1853   ̶   Whig

Franklin Pierce: March 4, 1853 to March 4, 1857   ̶   Democratic

James Buchanan: March 4, 1861 to March 4, 1861   ̶   Democratic

Abraham Lincoln: March 4, 1861 to April 15, 1865  ̶   Republican

Andrew Johnson: April 15, 1865 to March 4, 1869  ̶   National Union

History shows us what happened in the past. Without knowledge of the past, we tend to repeat it.

With that said, Democrats have been not doing well in Democratic run cities and states. Erasing history will not change that.

Still, Democratic lawmakers having been undermining Republicans and instigating probes, hearings, fact finding committees and an impeachment inquiry, all under the guise of  President Trump being unfit in their eyes.

It’s about time that the GOP started slinging some crap back at the Democrats.

Thank you Louis Gohmert and company!

Trump Signs Order Preventing Illegal’s Determining Electoral College

  ,
Leave a comment

by Daveda Gruber:

On Tuesday President Trump signed an executive order to avoid that illegal immigrants could be counted for the purposes of re-drawing congressional districts after the 2020 census is completed.

Trump signed an Apportionment Memorandum on “Ensuring American Citizens Receive Proper Representation in Congress.”

Trump put out a statement that accompanied the apportionment memorandum.

In the statement he said, “Today’s action to exclude illegal aliens from the apportionment base reflects a better understanding of the Constitution and is consistent with the principles of our representative democracy. My Administration will not support giving congressional representation to aliens who enter or remain in the country unlawfully, because doing so would create perverse incentives and undermine our system of government. Just as we do not give political power to people who are here temporarily, we should not give political power to people who should not be here at all.”

Trump said, “There used to be a time when you could proudly declare, ‘I am a citizen of the United States.’ But now, the radical left is trying to erase the existence of this concept and conceal the number of illegal aliens in our country.”

Trump went on to say, “This is all part of a broader left-wing effort to erode the rights of Americans citizens, and I will not stand for it.”

The 2020 Census counts every person living in the United States and five U.S. territories.

An official for the White House says that it would clarify that those persons in the country illegally would not be included for the redrawing process of congressional districts, which is known as apportionment.

Census counts are used to determine the allocation of seats in the House of Representatives and the number of electors in the Electoral College. It also determines the distribution of hundreds of billion dollars of federal spending.

The White House official went on to say, “Excluding illegal aliens for the purpose of apportionment reflects a better understanding of our Constitution and democratic principles.”

The Trump administration is adamant that illegal immigrants are not included in the census.

At the same time, immigrant activist groups will probably challenge the Trump administration in a legal action.

Last year the Supreme Court blocked a citizenship question from being a part of the census. They sent the question back to the lower courts because they found that the Trump administration did not have sufficient reasoning for including such a question.

Naturally, the Democrats, along with immigrant groups, disagreed because they believed that the question would discourage immigrants from responding to the census.

An executive order was later signed by the President to get an accurate count of citizens and non-citizens who are present in the country.

Information collected through the executive order, as determined by Attorney General Bill Barr, could be useful in determining the makeup of the Electoral College and congressional apportionment.

Trump later signed an executive order to get an accurate count of citizens and non-citizens present in the country.

Barr said, “That information will be used for countless purposes. For example, there is a current dispute over whether illegal aliens can be included for apportionment purposes. . . . We will be studying this issue.”

Once again we have two different opinions here. Republicans, don’t want illegal immigrants to contribute to the drawing of lines for the Electoral College or contributing to the allocation of seats in the House of Representatives but Democrats seem to be on the other side of the argument.

Could Democrats believe that they could benefit from lines drawn that include illegal immigrants in the population? You’d better believe it.

AOC Backed Progressive Wins Over Democrat Incumbent in NY

A progressive  challenger who was backed by some big names in that field such as, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and the first term Representative from New York, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has won an important race and taken out an incumbent.

Jamaal Bowman is a former middle school principal and first-time candidate and he ran against Representative Eliot Engel, who was the chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee.

The primary election took place on June 23rd but was really close and it took until Friday, almost a month later, to call the result.

Bowman defeated Engel by a roughly 15-point margin in the primary in New York’s 16th Congressional District.

The district covers parts of the New York City borough of the Bronx and portions of neighboring southern Westchester County.

Many of the votes in the primary were cast by mail, and some still haven’t been counted.

Associated Press analysis of absentee ballots that had been counted so far indicate that Bowman’s lead is too far from Engel to overcome.

AP Politics tweeted this:

After the call was made by AP, Bowman tweeted this:

The victory by Bowman is being compared to the victory by AOC in 2018. She defeated Democratic Representative Joe Crowley.

Engel had been under attack because he spent more time at his home in Potomac, Maryland than at his apartment in the Bronx.

He was also caught on a hot microphone saying that “if I didn’t have a primary, I wouldn’t care” about speaking, while he was at an event in his congressional district.

Engel is a White man while Bowman is Black. So much for assuming White privilege.

Engel landed endorsements from prominent establishment figures while he was fighting for re-election. Some of his donors include the former senator from New York and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, some top House Democrats, and the political wing of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Engel is one of the original sponsors of the House Democrats’ sweeping police reform bill and he played a significant role in this year’s impeachment efforts over President Trump’s dealings with Ukraine

The bill is moving through the chamber at this time.

More and more progressive candidates are appearing on the scene. Some are doing better than was anticipated.

If the Democrats have a large progressive field, there is a certain type of Democrat that they appeal to.

Personally, I categorize progressives as Socialists.

Progressivism is a political philosophy in support of social reform. It is based on the idea of progress in which advancements in science, technology, economic development and social organization are vital to the improvement of the human condition.

Modern social democrats would have you believe that they tend to reject revolutionary means accepted by the more radical socialists.

They also contend that another difference is that some social democrats are mainly concerned with practical reforms within capitalism, with socialism relegated to the indefinite future.

I don’t seem to see the differences.

If more of these progressive candidates get into power, America is going down.

I have an easy alternative. Vote Republican and you won’t have to worry about the U.S. becoming a Socialist nation.

My take on it is, VOTE RED DOWN THE LINE wherever you are.

Is President Trump Allowed to Play Golf?

 
Leave a comment

by Daveda Gruber:

When President Trump does something you can be certain that people who support him will be okay with it but Democrats and the mainstream media will attack the President’s motives.

On Sunday Trump defended his golf playing.

Trump tweeted this:

The tweet came out after a Saturday trip to Trump National Golf Club in Northern Virginia.

Trump had time for a round of golf after a campaign rally in New Hampshire was cancelled because of storms expected from Tropical Storm Fay.

It marked the president’s first trip to the course, which is a favorite of his, since the pandemic began.

This was Trump’s 275th visit to a golf club as president. It is the 273rd time he traveled while being president to one of the golf clubs owned by his family’s company.

During the presidency of Barack Obama, the then President played a total of 333 rounds of golf during his eight years in office.

Obama visited a golf course 98 times through the same time in his presidency as Trump.

By late May, it was reported that Trump had spent all or part of 248 days at a golf course while president.

Why is this even an issue? I’ll tell you.

During his 2016 presidential campaign, then-candidate Trump attacked President Barack Obama for reports of Obama’s visits to play golf.

Trump said, at the time, “Because I’m going to be working for you, I’m not going to have time to go play golf.”

Maybe Trump didn’t anticipate such a stressful presidency and didn’t know he’d need some time to get some fresh air and relax on a golf course.

In my opinion, Trump should play golf whenever he has the time. I play golf and it is a good stress reliever for me. I hope it does the same for my President.

Who’s Not Happy Roger Stone Prison Sentence Commuted?

  ,
Leave a comment

by Daveda Gruber:

Late Friday the White House announced that President Trump had signed an Executive Grant of Clemency for Roger Stone.

Stone was sentenced to more than three years in prison. Last year he was convicted on seven counts of obstruction, witness tampering and making false statements to Congress. All of the convictions were in relation to FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

Stone has appealed the conviction and denies wrongdoing. He was supposed to report to prison on July 14th.

He would have had to serve forty months. The President stepped in and the White House reported that the President had commuted the sentence “in light of the egregious facts and circumstances surrounding his unfair prosecution, arrest, and trial.”

Trump tweeted:

Not everyone was happy about Trump’s decision. Of course Democrats were against what Trump did but one Republican joined them in their rhetoric.

On Saturday Senator Mitt Romney, R-Utah, tweeted this:

It is no surprise that Romney would disagree with anything that Trump does and has had feuded with the president in the past. He was the only Senate Republican to vote for an article of impeachment in Trump’s Senate impeachment trial.  Trump was accused of “obstruction of Congress” but was acquitted by the Senate.

Democrats accused the president of corruption. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi promised that Congress would act on the matter.

A statement by Pelosi on Saturday said, “President Trump’s decision to commute the sentence of top campaign advisor Roger Stone, who could directly implicate him in criminal misconduct, is an act of staggering corruption.”

The statement went on to say, “Congress will take action to prevent this type of brazen wrongdoing. Legislation is needed to ensure that no President can pardon or commute the sentence of an individual who is engaged in a cover-up campaign to shield that President from criminal prosecution.”

Pelosi tweeted this:

Democrats will always dispute what Trump or his administration do. They will do anything they can, with the help of the mainstream media, to try to stop Trump from being elected in November.

The presumptive presidential nominee and former Vice President, Joe Biden, got on the put down Trump bandwagon and tweeted this:

Stone  is 67 years old so he could be considered high risk for COVID-19.

A multitude of hardened criminals, who committed heinous crimes, have been released from prisons all over the country because of the coronavirus.

Stone is not a threat to society so why can’t Democrats just let it go?

There is a hate that the Democrats and Romney, who is a Republican in name only, hold that is very deep. Could they be afraid of Trump getting re-elected for a multitude of reasons?

Not only are the political differences at stake, there are a number of Politians in high places that may have accumulated large amounts of money that they have not been able to rationalize.

How many criminals are involved in government? Why are they not going off to jail cells?

We live in a two tier system. Democrats who do wrong don’t seem to go to prison let alone get indicted.

Retired Cops Launch PAC for Pro-Police Candidates

 
Leave a comment

by Daveda Gruber:

Do you support law enforcement or do you want to defund the police?

There are some people who have a very strong stance on the matter.

Retired law enforcement officers have formed a coalition and they banded together and formed the Protect Our Police PAC that will give support to pro-cop political candidates who are running for election.

The group that is also known as POP PAC, is based in Philadelphia. It was launched on Wednesday and they are raising funds to put towards endorsed pro-police candidates.

In a press release the group said that funds will be put towards independent expenditures for paid communication programs and media plans.

The release clearly states, “As spineless elected officials turn their backs on cops, POP PAC will elect law & order candidates in their place.”

Anti-police rhetoric, protests and calls for the police to be defunded are referenced.

The POP PAC press release also describes how it will be “the largest organization exclusively committed to providing the resources needed to elect candidates who will support our police officers, law enforcement and first responders while in office.”

The release goes on to say, “POP PAC will build the largest coalition of pro-police groups, organizations, unions and lodges in the country to fight to protect our police on the front line who selflessly risk their lives every day. POP PAC will also promote pro-police stories often ignored by the mainstream media.”

POP PAC has already received contributions from Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #5. It is encouraging candidates to apply for endorsement through its candidate recruitment program.

Four retired Philadelphia police officers are on the PAC’s board. They have been on the force between 12 and 20 years each.

They have a website that describes how police are “under attack.”

This was tweeted today:

https://twitter.com/PolicePac/status/1281628213219917824?s=20

The recent anti-police language began after the May 25th death of George Floyd, who was a Black man, and died when a white officer held his knee on his neck for nearly nine minutes in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Floyd , while being held down, said 17 times that he couldn’t breathe. That caused protests to erupt across the nation.

There are other cases where tension started to rise within some members of the public.

One such instance happened in March in Louisville, Kentucky when police shot to death Breonna Taylor, who was a Black emergency medical technician, while a no-knock search warrant  was executed.

I personally do not believe in defunding the police. Our society and culture needs law enforcement. People must respect the rule of law and those who enforce it.

A country that thrives on crime is not what we, as Americans, need.

Suicide Concerns Surround Ghislaine Maxwell

 
Leave a comment

by Daveda Gruber:

Security measures are being taken by the Justice Department inside a New York City jail where the alleged accomplice to renowned pedophile Jeffery Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, is being held.

There are concerns that Maxwell might commit suicide.

Maxwell’s clothing and bedsheets were confiscated by federal officials and replaced with paper attire. This was done as a precaution to avoid a similar incident as the alleged demise of Epstein under Manhattan jail authorities.

It is alleged that Epstein committed suicide last August even though there are mixed thoughts on that issue.

The Associated Press has been told by an official that special measures have been taken. Officials that are separate from the Bureau of Prisons are making sure that adequate protection is given to Maxwell to prevent her from harming herself.

There are also measures taken to protect Maxwell from other prisoners who may want to harm her.

There is a roommate with Maxwell in her cell. She is allegedly not being left alone while she is behind bars.

Last week Maxwell was arrested in New Hampshire  and she was charged with six counts of sex trafficking involving minors.

Maxwell was a former girlfriend and one of Epstein’s closest friends.

The victims who have come forward say that Maxwell was Epstein’s right-hand person who acted in recruiting underage girls in a conspiracy that resulted in their sexual abuse by Maxwell and Epstein.

At this time, Maxwell is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. That facility is located across the river from where Epstein was held.

Will the same fate befall Maxwell that took Epstein down? I’m not sure. I believe that officials don’t want to face the same interrogation of a suicide that was alleged to have been Epstein’s fate.

Then again, there are a lot of VIP names who would be implicated in pedophilia if Maxwell ever does testify.
