Navy’s 13 Billion Dollar Cruise Ship

I don’t write too often about the Navy even though I spent six years of my life wearing the uniform but this story is so ridiculous that I can’t let it pass without comment. It concerns the contracting and construction of the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford. What you learn from reading the story is that the newest carrier in the fleet can’t launch aircraft, can’t safely land them, and can’t equip them with weapons; other than that, it’s a fine vessel.

The $13 billion Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier, the U.S. Navy’s costliest warship, was delivered last year without elevators needed to lift bombs from below deck magazines for loading on fighter jets.

Previously undisclosed problems with the 11 elevators for the ship built by Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. add to long-standing reliability and technical problems with two other core systems — the electromagnetic system to launch planes and the arresting gear to catch them when they land.

Costliest Carrier Was Delivered Without Elevators to Lift Bombs

The article continues

 

The Advanced Weapons Elevators, which are moved by magnets rather than cables, were supposed to be installed by the vessel’s original delivery date in May 2017. Instead, final installation was delayed by problems including four instances of unsafe “uncommanded movements” since 2015, according to the Navy.

While progress was being made on the carrier’s other flawed systems, the elevator is “our Achilles heel,” Navy Secretary Richard Spencer told reporters in August without providing details.

Technology Risk

The elevator system is “just another example of the Navy pushing technology risk into design and construction — without fully demonstrating it,” said Shelby Oakley, a director with the U.S. Government Accountability Office who monitors Navy shipbuilding.

 

In the above we learn two more facts, this ship design was the responsibility of Presidents not named Trump since construction takes years to accomplish and second and more importantly, the ship relies on untested technology. Sorry folks but that is not how the military; especially, the Navy did things in my era.

The Navy is in the unique position of traveling wherever they are needed without a traditional supply chain which for them can be stretched or even nonexistent for long periods of time. This forces them to be self-reliant and needing to improvise because parts could be thousands of miles away. Traditionally, they have used lower and more proven tech.

I was in the Naval Nuclear Power Program and the control systems that we used on the reactors were purposely not based on solid-state electronics. If you can believe it, there were zero transistors on any reactor protection systems! Hyman Rickover, who started the Navy’s nuclear powered ship program, did not believe in implementing this technology. I think it was both a supply chain issue and one to prevent propulsion from being crippled by EMP. Instead we used magamps. Magamps are something that was so old-school in the 1980’s that my friend with an electrical engineering degree had never even hear of them in any of his classes.

The only propulsion supply issue that we ever experienced was getting a replacement fuse for the reactor protection ABT (Automatic Bus Transfer). Reactor protection systems had two independent supplies of electrical power available and this switch was able to go from one to the other fast enough not to scram the reactor. The fuse for this switch blew during a routine test. It took ten days to get a replacement. The fuse was about eight inches long and over 3/8th of an inch in diameter; it’s not your typical off the shelf part from Ace Hardware.

Using unproven designs for the catapult system and weapons elevators is not something they should be deploying for all four Ford class carriers currently authorized for construction. As a result, the Navy owns a warship cruise ship ready to go anywhere in the world that can’t conduct war and has a capacity of 10,000 passengers. On many levels, the Ford sounds like the Democrat military model to me.

This is another in a long series of failures by the Navy in recent years. They can’t build ships that work and can’t drive ‘em once they set sail.

It’s the Children Stupid!

The wheels have come off the Democrat Party since the election of Donald Trump as our 45th President.  So much so that they have had to abandon their usual talking points of Republicans are racist, sexist, homophobic, or even white supremacists.  Now the Democrats have what I call a very odd relationship with children; not so much in a Catholic priest or disgraced Congressman Mark Foley kind of way, more just in general terms.

Exhibit A – Healthcare Repeal 
Democrats wheeled out all kinds of children saying my (insert constituent’s name here) son/daughter/binary has (insert condition here) and will be kicked off my health plan after you bad guys repeal it.  Blatantly false!  Even under the former healthcare plans you were still covered in most every case until at least 18, in some cases far longer.  In addition, let’s clear up the “pre-existing conditions” malarkey. If you are under a current plan and come down with let’s say a broken foot, your plan would pay for the injury and all subsequent treatments because you were injured while your plan was in force.  A pre-existing condition is if I sign up during open enrollment, because I never had health insurance, and go to my pre-approval physical with said broken leg seeking treatment I would be denied.  As that is called a pre-existing condition.

Exhibit B – Immigration
Democrats paint this really nasty picture of children being ripped out of their parents arms a la Elian Gonzalez with said parents being driven back to Mexico in a bus and booted out whenever we darn well please.  Then taking said child and essentially sending him to any random Central American country and hoping for the best.  False.  First these immigration raids usually coincide with a employment or felony/drug/gang sweep led by federal agents.  We legally cannot leave a child under 18 alone, so we round them up too and place them in holding trying to find a home for them, or reunite with parents and send back to their former home country.  Notice the camera is always on the children, not the parents who are hardened criminals or gang members?

“The Caravan”

Exhibit C – The Caravan
All the Democrats talk about is how we have to take all these people coming here because, look at all the children!  Forget the fact we have no clue who any of these people are, they have no regard for the laws of any country they pass through, let alone ours!  However we must think of those poor children who will have nowhere to go as if they don’t have any other relatives or anything.

Exhibit D – Children with PTSD Study
This “study” I saw where 1 out of every 4 children has signs of PTSD since Trump got elected? Really?  Think it could be their crazy deranged parents?  How many children know what PTSD is let alone can spell it!

PTSD is typically experienced by soldiers exposed to brutal combat such as house-to-house fighting, trench warfare, or other combat which is up close, personal, and emotionally traumatic.  Think looking the other guy in the face as you plunge a knife into his chest and he’s trying to do likewise to you. The idea that losing an election is anything like that is a perversion. No wonder these folks are called “snowflakes”.

US Marines
The Snowflake Generation can’t handle the truth which is why so many are still living at home

I think this claim of children with PTSD is a ploy by liberal parents trying to get their children on medical record as being “on the spectrum”. Children on such lists are often candidates for unnecessary medication; especially boys.  Once children are listed as being medicated or in a classification that they may be at risk, this history will be used as a backdoor way that will result in making it so anyone with such a history cannot own a gun. Thus Liberals will slowly chip away at the 2nd Amendment by creating a new category of people prohibited from bearing arms. Think about it. Also, would this disqualify them from future military service?

As you can see, this has become a recurring theme of the Liberals.  Don’t focus on our bankrupted medical system, or broken healthcare system, focus on these poor needy children.  Don’t focus on the gang member parents, or the fact they broke the law to enter here, focus on the poor children.  Don’t focus on who the people in this caravan are, focus on the children.  Children are now a pawn in the game of elections in our country and frankly it is sick.

Democrats, Glass Houses, and Racism

“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.”

Whether Abe Lincoln actually said this or not, it is advice some folks in public life should heed.

Honest Abe

This slightly restated variation should also be taken to heart:

Better not to be thought of as a racist than to open your mouth and remove all doubt—that you are.

 

Last Friday, enter one, Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was being interviewed by Kara Swisher of the New York Times.

Ms. Swisher did mix up Eric Holder and Cory Booker, which led to Mrs. Clinton saying, “Well, they all look alike.”

Cringeworthy: Failed 2016 Candidate Says All Black Men Look Alike, Or Something

 

This is the same interview where Clinton said she would like to run again in 2020; well maybe.

 

Mrs. Clinton initially said “no” when asked whether she wanted to run for president again. She then paused and repeated “no.”

But after Ms. Swisher noted the slight hesitation, Mrs. Clinton seemed to reconsider her response, saying that a major task of the next Democratic president will be improving the international standing of the United States.

Well, I’d like to be president,” she said…

Hillary Clinton on Possible 2020 Run: ‘I’d Like to Be President’

 

Not to be outdone by Clinton, Democrat Senator Joe Donnelly of Indiana removed all doubt.

 

Indiana Sen. Joe Donnelly – one of the most vulnerable Democrats heading into next week’s midterm elections – is taking heat after awkwardly responding to a question during Tuesday night’s Senate debate with Republican Mike Braun by saying several of his staffers are great at their jobs even though they are minorities.

“Our state director is Indian American, but he does an amazing job,” Donnelly said during the debate. “Our director of all constituent services — she’s African American, but she does an even more incredible job than you could ever imagine.”

“Holy cats. Watch this clip. I can’t believe how terrible this is,” said Josh Holmes, a Republican operative and former chief of staff to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Others argued the comments would be considered a big gaffe – if said by a Republican.

Had it happened on the other side, I think it would be getting a lot more attention,” Braun said Wednesday on Fox News’ “The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino.”

Can we just be honest and say that if Mike Braun had said this it would be an issue but it won’t because Donnelly is a Dem?” Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe said.

Dem Sen. Joe Donnelly takes heat for awkward comment on hiring minority staffers, says he ‘misspoke’

 

Folks, part of the problem is that these elitist Democrats don’t see people as people, they see everyone in terms of groups and quotas.

These bogus heirs of Martin Luther King violate the principle at the core of his “I Have a Dream” speech when King states:

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

Rev. Martin Luther King

Democrats only care about the color of your skin or which bodily orifice you prefer to stick your reproductive organs into and not what’s on the inside of a person. They hijacked this Republican minister (Dr. King) and his push for true equality and substituted a fake solution in its place. King wanted a bottom-up solution (this is the core of the Christian Gospel) and the Dems want a top-down (State imposed) one. King wanted to change the hearts and minds of people not impose a solution by force.

This circles back to the post yesterday about Vice-President Mike Pence and Jews. One core assumption of the author of the hit piece on Pence, et al, was that a Messianic JewLoren Jacobs— was not a proper representative of the group. His activity in the community or whether he had been scheduled to speak prior to Saturday’s Synagogue attack were never researched or addressed by the author. The author was much more concerned that a Messianic Jew was not a proper representative of the group. Jacobs’ individual merits were irrelevant to his right to be on the stage at a Republican event.

Democrats are the Party of white supremacy and historically always have been. Dinesh D’Souza documents this well in his film, Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party (2016).

Dinesh D’Souza

I marvel that Democrats can say stuff like the above all day long but get a pass while Republicans are ALWAYS presumed to be racist for believing in the value and worth of individuals.

The Democrats 70 Million Dollar Mistake

Just to clarify, the 70 million has nothing to do with that rigged mega millions jackpot you Americans play.  That is the amount of DEMOCRAT/HOLLYWOOD/SILICON VALLEY money that has flown to Texas to attack Sen Ted Cruz.  Cruz is in the Senator who will be winning re-election in a week by around 10% mind you.  Cruz may have his misgivings and may have angered the Donald Trump coalition but he was not going to lose re-election, especially with very popular Governor Greg Abbott leading the ticket.  Again to re-iterate if you are from Rio Linda or think the Russia colluded, Ted will win with at least around 10% of the vote.  Forget about Beto O’Rourke for a minute, I’m going to lay out why those in charge of the Democrat’s Senatorial Campaign arm should be drawn and quartered.

Ted Cruz—CRA Savior

While they were blowing all this money on Cruz the same way Charlie Sheen blows the booger sugar, look at what happened to some of the other races for control of the Senate.

First look at North Dakota. Now full disclosure, the candidate had some missteps, but what if she got $10 million of that allotment?  Ten million is a ton in North Dakota, you could even dig up all my dead brethren to vote Left.  That seat?  Yeah it’s lost as well, GOP +1.

Now let’s take a look at Missouri. The incumbent has had a rough couple weeks since the Kavanaugh “No” vote. She is falling behind her challenger. Again could an infusion of $10 million help?  Sorry already went to Beto in Texas. I will call this race for the GOP as well, +2.

Trek up north to Indiana. This race should not be close. The GOP had a disaster of a primary with a challenger emerging mortally wounded. Again the race has closed and appears to be falling the way of the good guys. Polling again is close, but leaning GOP at this time.  We will call this +3 again. I think Democrats have been oversampled yet again here.  So we still would have had 50 million left, maybe another $10 here?

In Florida it’s a giant unknown who will come out on top, but a 24 year veteran Senator being virtually tied with–let’s say a Governor who carries a lot of baggage with him–is not good for the Democrats; especially headed down the stretch here.  It probably would have taken $15 million here but you have a late emerging race where the Democrats could lose.

Now we will look at 3 additional races, 2 held by the GOP.  I’m going to ignore the Tennessee seat, because it looks too far for Democrats to reach.  In Arizona, I cannot really get a feel on this one, I think the GOP challenger is a good one. The Democrat seems like a Code Pink whacko.  Hard to tell here but another $10 million out of that pot may push the Democrat across. This is the seat of aptly named Jeff Flake who basically is making Lindsay Graham into a fire breathing conservative.  Much like the Nevada seat we will discuss next I like the fact that the GOP is winning the Governor’s race in both states at current polling.

Nevada is a tough state for the GOP. Clark County, think Las Vegas, is growing and becoming more left quickly. The Senator is an incumbent and has made some missteps. He leads in polling but I think this is one we lose.  I think between Arizona and Nevada we lose 1.  Montana is another seat just out of our grasp, and a race Democrats could be wondering why they didn’t spend more there.  I think the Democrat wins.  So far if you’re keeping score at home GOP +2 with 1 pure toss up in Florida.  With the House looking likely to switch parties I cannot help but wonder what some Democrats will be thinking after seeing the Senate results.

I for one am glad they spent the money elsewhere.

“The Chief”

Liberals Light-Up VP Pence

Vice President Mike Pence, right, prays with Rabbi Loren Jacobs, of Bloomfield Hills’ Congregation Shema Yisrael, for the victims and families of those killed in the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, at a rally for Republicans in Oakland County, Monday, (Tanya Moutzalias / AP)

On Saturday, some nut killed a bunch of Jewish folks worshipping in a synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Today, Vice-President Mike Pence is in Detroit, Michigan holding a campaign rally for a Jewish Republican named Lena Epstein. The distance between the two cities is about 300 miles, hundreds of precincts, and at state or two.

Pence is an openly Christian man that attends Bible studies in the White House and is known to pray regularly. In the article below, Pence is getting slammed at a campaign stop for having the wrong kind of Jew pray at the campaign rally. Pence had Loren Jacobs pray twice at the rally, once in the beginning and again to close the campaign stop.

Please note that the article posted below is a new article and not and opinion piece.

Instead of opening up with prayers for the 11 Jews shot dead Saturday at the Tree of Life synagogue, Jacobs praised Jesus Christ and then offered prayers for four Republican candidates.

“I pray that you will enable Vice President Pence to fulfill his many and important responsibilities with excellence,” he added.

At the end of the rally, Pence, a devout Christian and hero of evangelicals, invited Jacob back to say a prayer for the victims as “a leader of the Jewish community here in Michigan.”

As you continue in the article then you get to the real rub, which is that Loren Jacobs is a Jew by upbringing and a Christian by faith.

“Messianic ‘Judaism’ is a branch of Christianity & offensive to the Jewish community. Lena Epstein knew this & so did Pence & his team. This wasn’t ecumenical; it was an insulting political stunt,” said Jason Miller, a Detroit rabbi, noting that there are more than 60 official rabbis in Michigan.

The “Messianic Judaism” movement promotes the conversion of Jews to Christianity. One group in the movement goes by the title “Jews for Jesus.”

The movement has the strong support of evangelical Christians, a corner stone of President Donald Trump’s and Republicans’ voter base.

Trump’s lawyer Jay Sekulow is a senior figure in the Messianic Jew movement.

Criticizing Jacob’s involvement in the rally, Danya Ruttenberg, a prominent young rabbi, blasted Pence as a “Christian supremacist.”

“Stop pretending and appropriating my people,” she wrote online.

The White House said Epstein was responsible for inviting Jacob to the event, and that the vice president “invited him back on stage to deliver a message of unity.”

Pence stuns Jews with prayers by ‘Christian rabbi’ after temple massacre

 

In defense of the Vice-President I would like to ask the following:

  • How many Jewish Rabbis actually believe the Torah is the Word of God and authoritative in their lives?
  • How many Torah believing Rabbis are registered to vote as Republicans?
  • How many Torah believing Rabbis are willing to publicly endorse anyone or anything related to Donald Trump or Mike Pence?
  • How many did so during the 2016 election cycle?
  • How many of the above defined Rabbis live in Detroit?

Thus this article is utilizing a strawman argument as a pretext for bashing Christianity.

Oh, my Christian church prayed for the Jewish victims and their families at our Christian worship service the following day as did many millions of Christians across this nation and probably the world.

Those making sour grapes about Pence’s campaign stop are not Republicans and would never vote for the candidates that were on the stage. This article is a political hit piece crafted on the eve of a close election.

Voter Fraud Made Easy?

Sacramento County appears to make voter fraud easy. They eliminated traditional polling places, instead mailing ballots to all registered voters in the county. Voters are supposed to return their ballots to a drop center in their community. As my wife and I found out, these drop centers are not manned and nobody is tracking when your ballot is turned in. In a strict sense, there is no effort at any chain-of-custody for ballots. The only proof that anyone has that they voted is a signature on the outside of the ballot envelope and a stack of I Voted stickers on top of the ballot drop box should you choose to get one.

What happens to the ballot once it is returned? In the old days, the signature was checked before the envelope was opened; however, do you really think somebody is checking every signature for 300,000 ballots? The second would be what happens if it doesn’t match the signature on file? Again, in the old days, the ballots were not counted. Furthermore, the voter is never notified that their ballot is not counted or had a problem. If it is a legitimate mistake, too bad. If voter forgets to sign the envelope then what happens?

Color me cynical but I have extra blank ballots at my house every election cycle since this system was implemented. I’m confident that many other folks are experiencing the same situation. I’m sure nobody would ever think to go house to house to collect these extra ballots in exchange for money, food, or in the name of keeping elections honest. Surely, not!

Here are other voting concerns that folks are having this election season:

Los Angeles, California –  The LAPD arrested 3 people on Friday for voter fraud, just latest in a long list of arrests for the charge. The suspects are paying homeless people a dollar or a quarter, or food or cigarettes to forge names on California ballot measures. And it’s been going on for years.

Suspects set up tables on Skid Row where they approach homeless people to gather forged signatures. The California government claims that such situations are “rare.” But according to the LAPD officer who patrols Skid Row, it’s common. So far in 2018, the LAPD has arrested 7 people for felony voter fraud and 4 of those charges were reduced to misdemeanors. Which effectively erases the problem from people’s radar. This is an excuse for Democrats to say that voter fraud is “rare.”

Voter Fraud in Los Angeles- Paying Homeless to Forge Signatures

 

San Francisco reportedly spent $310,000 on a new registration system aimed at getting non-citizens to cast votes in school board elections.

The program resulted in 49 new voters, which turned out to cost the city $6,326 each, The San Francisco Chronicle reported. The paper called the effort “pretty much a bust the first time out.”

Local officials suggest residents who might otherwise consider registering are worried the Trump administration would learn their identities.

San Fran spends $6,300 for each non-citizen voter to sign up

Lest you think California is the only spot experiencing voter issues, remember that everything is bigger in Texas.

When the registered independent went to a recreational center in Grapevine, Texas, last week, he planned to vote for Senate hopeful Beto O’Rourke. The Hart machine offered a fast-tracked option for straight-ticket voters. Martin selected it, expecting the machine to populate an all-Democrat ballot.

“It floored me. My vote showed up on the machine for the wrong senator. Instead of Beto O’Rourke – the Democratic candidate – it said [Republican candidate] Ted Cruz,” he said. After noticing the error, Martin backtracked to the initial screen and manually registered his vote.

The Texas secretary of state has been aware of the issue for at least a week.

An election advisory from Director of Elections Keith Ingram, dated Oct. 23, said: “We have heard from a number of people voting on Hart eSlate machines that when they voted straight ticket, it appeared to them that the machine had changed one or more of their selections to a candidate from a different party. This can be caused by the voter taking keyboard actions before a page has fully appeared on the eSlate, thereby de-selecting the pre-filled selection of that party’s candidate.”

Martin denied misusing the machine. “What is this going to be, another Dade County?” he said, referring to disputed Florida ballots in the 2000 presidential election. “The only vote that counts with national scope is the one being destroyed.”

Marian Schneider, president of Verified Voting, a voting integrity organization, issued a statement Monday in response to reports that voters in the state’s six largest counties experienced problems using the company’s machines. She called for verifiable systems that include a voter-marked paper ballot: “Verified Voting calls on Secretary of State Rolando Pablos to launch a broader and more robust statewide public information effort to advise voters to carefully check their choices as displayed before submitting them. . . . Paper ballots that are retained can be later sampled to check if the software is correctly reporting the voters’ selections. Without such a safeguard, public confidence in elections diminishes.”

The issue, she said, impacts 5.1 million Texas voters, at a minimum.

This isn’t the state’s first problematic run-in with the Hart voter systems, according to Sam Taylor, communications director for Pablos, who confirmed that voters in only five counties had experienced issues with the machines.

During the 2016 election, the agency ran tests on the machines after voters’ choices of presidential candidates were deselected. The problem affects only the first race on the ballot. In 2016, that was the presidential race. This year, it’s the senatorial contest.

Texans say glitchy voting machines are changing their ballots

 

A voter fraud investigation in Dallas County continues to deepen with prosecutors asking a judge late last week to impound a “suspicious box” of mail-in ballot applications they believe may be tied to a political candidate in the May election.

Investigators appear to be homing in on the candidate, who they did not name in new court documents but described as a suspect who lives in Grand Prairie. Authorities are also looking into two other suspects who are connected to the candidate and who prosecutors say assisted voters in mailing ballots in envelopes signed with suspected forged signatures. Those votes were rejected from being counted.

The filing Friday by the district attorney’s office revealed new details in a wide-ranging investigation of thousands of suspicious mail-in ballots and ballot applications submitted in West Dallas and Grand Prairie since last year. This year, prosecutors have investigated possible fraud in the handling of more than 1,200 mail-in ballot applications that generated at least 459 ballots from West Dallas, Grand Prairie and parts of Oak Cliff, Assistant District Attorney Andy Chatham said in March.

Voter fraud investigation deepens in Dallas County, targeting Grand Prairie candidate

 

Voting machines — even the optical scan ballot machines — are computers running specialized programs. Cybersecurity experts warn that antiquated hardware, remote access malware and insecure databases are vulnerabilities that might allow hackers to meddle with elections.

As the federal government has noted, states are responsible for conducting elections. Due to budget constraints, many voting machines haven’t been updated in years. In 2016 Christopher Famighetti of the Brennan Center for Justice interview told CBS News, “We found that more than 40 states are using voting machines there that are at least 10 years [old].”

This year at the cybersecurity conference Defcon, hackers were able to crack a Diebold voting machine in 15 minutes.

Campaign 2018: Voting machines are vulnerable to hacking

 

Children as young as 5 will compete to hack election results websites, and DEF CON has partnered with children’s hacking organization r00tz Asylum to award prizes to the first and youngest kids to breach the sites and hack equipment.

Jake Braun, a former White House liaison for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, told ABC News that the conference decided to invite young hackers because it would be a “waste of time” to demonstrate that cybersecurity experts can hack election results reporting sites.

These websites are so easy to hack we couldn’t give them to adult hackers — they’d be laughed off the stage,” Braun told ABC News. “They thought hacking a voter website was interesting 20 years ago. We had to give it to kids to actually make it challenging.”

At DEF CON ’18, kids as young as 5 challenged to hack election results websites, voting machines

Until governments get serious about voter integrity I don’t look for things to improve.

Trump Impeachment Now Endangered

Republicans have a reputation for playing checkers while Democrats run rings around them because they are playing chess. Democrats plan and scheme while Republicans react. Democrats are big on the credo “he who defines the issue wins the debate” while Republicans just stare with glassy-eyed amazement at their opponents.

Folks I’m sensing one of those scenarios—the attempt to impeach of Donald J Trump—unfolding before our eyes now. Granted this is speculation but let’s connect some dots.

1 The conventional wisdom this election season has been that Democrats will clean House and Senate and take Congress away from evil Republicans and restore it to its rightful owners; the Democrats.

2 Robert Mueller has rallied the Dems for the last two years on Russian collusion but it is clear that he will not be delivering the goods to Impeach Trump.

3 Democrats claim that they never let a good crisis go to waste—especially one that George Soros is willing to finance—and George has found a new cause of late that is sucking-up much media time going into the election.

4 Democrats see open borders as a way to expand their control of the political apparatus of the United States. They want illegal aliens to vote in our elections to keep them in power. Every time someone wants to limit elections to US citizens—which by the way is the law in every state in the Union except maybe California—Democrats are the first to run to some judge of their own choosing that claim voter suppression. Democrats want illegals and felons to vote. Democrats want rampant voter fraud. Democrats want chaos. Democrats rule by dividing people into groups and then pitting the groups against each other.

5 The Guatemalan Invasion is a trap that is being set for Trump. It is organized and paid for by folks in the United States including George Soros. The Dems figure that they have Trump boxed into a corner where either way Trump loses and they win. They see no scenario in which he wins.

Invasion force following their flag

If Trump caves and lets these folks into the United States then he will forever have to give up his promise of the wall. He will be called a hypocrite for campaigning on border security and then collapsing like George W Bush when the rubber hits the wall.

Or, Trump really does call out the troops to protect the border. Trump has reportedly said he will do this. In this instance, Democrats are hoping the Trump does what he said. They will call him hotheaded and move to impeach him immediately because they will maintain that he doesn’t have the right to deploy troops within the borders of the United States. Democrats will cite the Posse Comitatus Act as grounds saying the President doesn’t have the legal authority to deploy troops.

6 Using Posse Comitatus Act is thus their Plan B to remove or severely cripple Trump. The House will Impeach him whether the Senate later votes to remove him or not. They believe that they have the votes to remove Trump but if not, so tarnish him that he won’t run again in 2020. They don’t want to defeat Trump, they want to destroy him.

The only problem with the above scenario is that the Democrat Wave that has been forecast for the last six months is turning out to be “vaporware”. The political polling folks are collapsing their predictions about a Democrat Wave.

Two months ago, Democrats were believed to be picking up four to six Senate seats and now the opposite is being said. Republicans are likely to pick-up more seats in the Senate.

In the House, two months ago, Democrats were expecting to pick-up at least 60 seats but now there is doubt that they will take back the House. Republicans are expected to lose seats this cycle but may be able to maintain control. Without control of the House, no impeachment proceedings can be started.

The catalyst for this change in political fortunes appears to be the direct result of the Brett Kavanaugh hearings. Thus Dianne Feinstein has singlehandedly saved the Republicans for themselves.

Democrats Field Bottom Feeder Candidates

In addition to such documented liars as Elizabeth Warren, here are three samples of the idiots that Democrats expect low information voters to support on November 6th.

 

Kyrsten Sinema Democrat for US Senate

 

Lie #1 She grew up homeless

However, one of the key claims made by Sinema is now being challenged by The New York Times.

Throughout the campaign, Sinema, a member of Congress who represents Arizona’s 9th District, has repeatedly made the claim that she comes from humble beginnings. She recounts in interviews and in speeches that she spent the majority of her childhood living homeless and in a former gas station without utilities.

In February, she tweeted, “I’m a little bit different than most people in politics. For nearly 3 years, my family lived in an abandoned gas station without running water or electricity. Those were tough times, but I knew it could be different.”

Additionally, Sinema touts the idea that she would be the rare senator who has dealt with being homeless.

However, court documents obtained by The Times are now casting a shadow of doubt on her claims.

“And I am sick and tired of hearing about the free market being the solution to this problem because I’ve never seen the free market write a prescription in rural Georgia,” Abrams said. “I mean, I’ve never seen the free market show up and give someone Metformin so they can have a little bit of control of their diabetes before it turns into an amputation of their foot. I’ve never seen the free market say I’m going to replace that stent in your heart next door and not make you go 200 miles to get it done. The problem with the free market is the free market needs to make a profit and there is no profit in doing the right thing.”

Ilhan Omar Democrat for US Congress

Minnesota state Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-60B) currently leads the race to fill the federal House seat being vacated by Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN). Immediately after being elected to her current seat in 2016, Omar faced allegations — soon backed by a remarkable amount of evidence — that she had married her own brother in 2009, and was still legally his wife. They officially divorced in December 2017.

The motivation for the marriage remains unclear. However, the totality of the evidence points to possible immigration fraud and student loan fraud.

Whether their gender is an issue, I will leave for you to decide. Personally, I agree with Rush Limbaugh. “I like the women’s movement…especially from behind.”

The Myth of Russian Collusion with Trump 2016 Campaign

First, nobody in the Republican or Democrat Parties thought Donald Trump had a prayer of beating Hillary Clinton in 2016. Hillary was the presumptive President of the United States in the minds of many and has been since she beat-out Bernie Sander two years ago. (In point of fact, Hillary had Bernie beat before a single vote was cast due to having 1/3 of the delegates needed for the nomination by securing the support of the Democrat “Super Delegates” concurrent with announcing her candidacy.) Certain folks out there think that her gender; her caustic personality; multiple failures in policy as FLOTUS (First Lady of the United States), US Senator, and Secretary of State; and the fact that she slept with a former President of the country are her qualifications for office. When she ran as a candidate for US Senator, not one single supporter in New York could name three accomplishments that were reasons to vote for her but she won anyway. Today, I still say that those supporters of Hillary can’t name three things that she has accomplished.

Hillary was a failure as Secretary of State. Many thousands of people died because of her incompetence including the folks that died needlessly in Benghazi and a multitude of Christians in Middle Eastern Countries. Other nations knew her unfitness as a leader and wanted to cripple her presidency before she ever got into office. Also, don’t forget that President Obama frequently interjected himself into political campaigns in other countries; especially Israeli elections and the Brexit vote in Great Brittan. Hillary and John Kerry were joined at the hip to Obama in these efforts.

Sensing her weakness, presuming her victory was pro forma, and wanting some payback for US policy, nation states such as Russia and China did use the openness of the US to exact some retribution on Hillary. The irony is that all you have to do to harm Hillary politically is tell the truth about her.

As is the typical pattern, China gets a pass from Democrats. This is due to the millions of dollars that China has invested in the Democrat Party since the Clinton Administration and in left leaning businesses such as Hollywood movie studios and technology that they have heavily invested in.

Not believing that people in other countries could be mad at Hillary—who thinks she is the handmaiden of the Messiah—anything not supporting of her must be the fault of Trump. Trump gets the blame because most establishment Republicans supported her over Trump in 2016 and many still do to this day.

This led to the myth that Trump is the puppet of Russia and this whole collusion story. Even after it has been proven that Hillary and her supporters created this conspiracy out of whole cloth, the Dems and media are holding onto this narrative.

Enter Robert Mueller. Two years have passed since beginning his investigation and he still can’t find the goods on Trump. Believe me if he had, his report would have leaked-out by now just to help the Democrats wipe the Republicans off the map on November 6th. The consensus is that Mueller’s report will end with a whimper not an Impeachment.

Matt Drudge has had this report linked to his website for the last couple of days.

I feel bad for them, in the way that I feel bad for kids who are about to discover that the Tooth Fairy is fake. After 17 months of appending compound adjectives (“Russia-linked,” “Kremlin-backed”) to the names of an increasingly obscure cast of characters accused of things like sending spam emails and holding pointless meetings that went nowhere, it looks like we are finally getting close to the end of the Mueller probe. A report in Politico suggests that what skeptics have argued for more than a year and a half is true: namely, that Mueller and his team have not found any smoking-gun evidence of “collusion” between Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Russian government because no such collusion took place.

How the Mueller fairy tale ends

Trump has endured two years of reporting about him that is 92% negative and yet he is drawing record crowds at political rallies. The pundits are back peddling on the Democrat tsunami on November 6th, could America actually like this guy? What is their Plan B?

Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren

Elizabeth Warren’s entire professional life is based on a lie. Not a mistake or distortion but an old-fashioned bald-faced lie. Yep, she knew it was a lie and like many lies, it furthered the cause of Liberalism, so no one challenged her on it. Liberals embrace the different and don’t discriminate between perversity and diversity so long as the lie continues to advance their cause.

Lest you think this claim is just about Warren’s heritage consider this; if illegal aliens and/or dead people started voting Republican, do you think the rampant voter fraud—especially here in California—would continue unchecked? As long as the Party in power is the beneficiary of the fraud, they will do nothing to insure voter integrity.

Another example which I have documented better than the MSM (main stream media) is the gutting of the Board of Equalization. Liberals had no problem throwing the black Democrat under the bus to pull-off this political sleight-of-hand. The political life of one guy is a small price to pay to highjack the State Constitution to give the Governor more executive power to confiscate money from the people with no recourse.

Sadly, the media went long ago from the watchdog of government to its lapdog.

Back to the good Senator. Her fraudulent heritage was well documented even before she was elected by the Boston Globe newspaper.

 

May 25, 2012

US Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren has said she was unaware that Harvard Law School had been promoting her purported Native American heritage until she read about it in a newspaper several weeks ago.

But for at least six straight years during Warren’s tenure, Harvard University reported in federally mandated diversity statistics that it had a Native American woman in its senior ranks at the law school. According to both Harvard officials and federal guidelines, those statistics are almost always based on the way employees describe themselves.

In addition, both Harvard’s guidelines and federal regulations for the statistics lay out a specific definition of Native American that Warren does not meet.

The documents suggest for the first time that either Warren or a Harvard administrator classified her repeatedly as Native American in papers prepared for the government in a way that apparently did not adhere to federal diversity guidelines. They raise further questions about Warren’s statements that she was unaware Harvard was promoting her as Native American.

The administrator responsible for Harvard Law School’s faculty diversity statistics from 1996 to 2004, the period in question, was Alan Ray, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation who, like Warren, has fair skin, blue eyes, and Oklahoma roots.

But Ray, now president of Elmhurst College in Illinois, said in a statement that he “did not encourage the Law School to list any faculty member as one particular race or ethnicity, including Professor Warren.’’ He further said through a spokeswoman that he “never encouraged any faculty member to list himself or herself in a particular way.’’ Ray added that Harvard “always accepted whatever identification a faculty member wanted to provide,’’ a characterization another highly placed former Harvard administrator backed up.

In a statement to the Globe Thursday, Harvard disavowed any wrongdoing, saying that it “adheres to the Department of Education and Department of Labor regulations and guidance concerning the reporting of race and ethnicity.’’

Warren arrived as a visiting professor in 1992, but left a year later. By then, she had been listing herself for seven years as a minority in a legal directory often used by law recruiters to make diversity-friendly hires. She continued to list herself in the book until 1995, the year she took a permanent position at Harvard.

That year, the director of Harvard’s Native American program was quoted in the law school newspaper bemoaning the university’s “lack of Native faculty in any of the schools.’’

But the school had begun describing Warren as Native American in the media soon after she was hired.

In 1996, law school news director Mike Chmura, speaking to the Harvard Crimson, identified Warren as a Native American professor.

In 1997, the Fordham Law Review, citing Chmura, referred to Warren as Harvard Law’s “first woman of color.’’

In 1998, Chmura wrote a letter to the New York Times, saying the law school had appointed or tenured “eight women, including a Native American.’’ Three days later, the Crimson again touched on the issue: “Harvard Law School currently has only one tenured minority woman, Gottlieb Professor of Law Elizabeth Warren, who is Native American.’’

The Harvard document defines Native American as “a person having origins in any of the original peoples of North America and who maintains cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community recognition.’’ It notes that this definition is consistent with federal regulations.

It is not a definition Warren appears to fit. She has not proven she has a Native American ancestor, instead saying she based her belief on family lore, and she has no official tribal affiliation. The current executive director of Harvard’s Native American program has said she has no memory of Warren participating in any of its activities.

Filings add to questions on Warren’s ethnic claims

Warren’s DNA test has blown-up on her.

As The Federalist’s Sean Davis points out, according to The New York Times, the average white person in America has nearly double the amount of American Indian DNA (0.18%) as Elizabeth Warren (0.098%), who claims to be Cherokee.

When her supposed Native American heritage came under scrutiny during her first Senate bid, Warren presented a recipe she had published in her cousin’s cookbook as evidence of her background. It was signed “Elizabeth Warren — Cherokee.” Later we learned that even the recipe was taken verbatim from an article in The New York Times five years earlier.

It’s easy to see what’s going on. Warren wants to dull Donald Trump’s “Fauxcahontas” jibes because she is about to run for president. Rather than admitting she has no genuine cause for being “proud of my Native American heritage” in her career, she’s doubled down on the assertion.

Elizabeth Warren’s DNA Test Proves She Was Lying

 

Even “The Old Gray Lady” can’t provide cover for Senator Warren.

Yet even as she sought to defuse the issue, Ms. Warren was criticized on both the right and the left Monday. Conservatives mocked her for releasing a test that indicated she is anywhere between 1/64th and 1/1,024th Native American.

“Elizabeth Warren hasn’t dealt with a problem, she has highlighted it and opened up other avenues for attack,” wrote the editor of the conservative National Review, Rich Lowry, on Twitter. “For Trump, 1/1024th will be priceless material.”

And liberals, as well as conservatives, said Ms. Warren had still not adequately addressed why she changed her ethnic identity from white to Native American as a law professor in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

“Warren’s gotta say she shouldn’t have listed herself as Native American 30 years ago and apologize profusely and sit down with community leaders that agree to meet with her,” said Josie Duffy Rice, a progressive writer. (Ms. Warren has said she began identifying as Native American to honor her heritage because many of her older relatives were dying in that period).

And Cherokee Nation, which is based in Oklahoma, also criticized Ms. Warren, saying in a statement she was “undermining tribal interests” by claiming Native American heritage.

Elizabeth Warren’s DNA Results Draw Rebuke from Trump and Raise Questions

 

The test — part of her strategic preparations for a likely presidential campaign — did not placate President Trump, who has mocked Ms. Warren as “Pocahontas” and once promised $1 million to a charity of her choice if a DNA test substantiated her claims of Cherokee and Delaware heritage. And her announcement of the results angered many Native Americans, including the Cherokee Nation, the largest of the country’s three federally recognized Cherokee tribes.

DNA testing cannot show that Ms. Warren is Cherokee or any other tribe, the secretary of state of the Cherokee Nation, Chuck Hoskin Jr., said in a statement. Tribes set their own citizenship requirements, not to mention that DNA tests don’t distinguish among the numerous indigenous groups of North and South America. The test Ms. Warren took did not identify Cherokee ancestry specifically; it found that she most likely had at least one Native American ancestor six to 10 generations ago.

Why Many Native Americans Are Angry With Elizabeth Warren

 

This just proves the old axiom that repeating a lie enough times will get people to believe it, especially when its what they want to hear. In Senator Warren’s case the truth won’t set her free, but it might make her unemployed. We can only hope…
