Oregon Gun Ban Petition Meets MASS RESISTANCE

This article comes from the Gateway Pundit

by Brock Simmons

The Oregon gun confiscation ballot initiative, petition #43, has passed the first hurdle with the Oregon Secretary of State. After gathering 3400 signatures during the weekend of the “March For Our Lives” astroturf photo op “protests”, not even 1000 of the signatures were valid. In Oregon, 1000 “sponsorship” signatures are required for a proposed ballot initiative. They eventually got more signatures and turned them in on April 17th. After the signatures were verified, they were given a “draft ballot title”.  In Oregon, during the “draft ballot title” phase, any elector (registered voter) can comment on the ballot title and argue for or against the title for a bevy of different reasons.

And boy did Oregon gun owners comment. BIGLY.

The Secretary Of State’s office reports that over 1000 comments were submitted contesting the title and the initiative itself. Anyone who submitted a comment has standing to appeal the title in the state Supreme Court. The comments are public record on the SOS website, and the .pdf document contains a whopping 1573 pages. The Secretary Of State says they never get more than a dozen comments about a ballot initiative, making this a historic turnout.

Congressional Dem Wants Mandatory Gun Buyback/Confiscation | “Go After the Resisters”

The anti-gun leaders are always talking about how we need “common sense” gun measures. Most of them will deny they want to take our guns from us. So, what “common sense” measures are they wanting?

California Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell wants to have a nationwide buy back of all “assault weapons” and to “go after the resiters”.

The End Game is to totally disarm us. We have known this for years. It is what tyrants always want to do.

‘Caravan’ a Deliberate Attempt to Exploit U.S. Laws and Undermine National Sovereignty

If they’ve already been permitted by government authorities to enter and freely traverse Mexico, they’ve already escaped the danger and oppression they claim to need asylum from. (Pueblo sin Fronteras/Twitter)

“Some people ‘associated with’ Central American caravan have entered U.S. illegally, federal officials say,” the Los Angeles Times “reports” in an agenda piece designed to elicit requisite sympathy for political advantage. “A pregnant woman and some children as young as 4 were detected entering the U.S. through a canyon that authorities described in a statement as dark, treacherous and ‘notorious for human and drug smuggling.’”

The first question one might ask is how the hell border security is so lax that this can happen. We know the “caravan” is coming and the canyon is a well-known route. If a pregnant woman (whose child will be a “birthright citizen” if allowed to stay) and children (who will all become wards of the U.S. taxpayers if they are) can make it through to our side under such conditions, it’s fair to ask how many blind eyes are deliberate, especially with recent reports of U.S. federal and local oath-breakers turning a profit off human smuggling.

What’s the reason we have government again?

“Attorney General Jeff Sessions called the caravan ‘a deliberate attempt to undermine our laws and overwhelm our system,’ pledging to send more immigration judges to the border to resolve cases if needed,” the Associated Press reports.

Why? If they enter the country illegally, if their first act is one of in-your-face criminality, why would it be in the interests of “securing the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” to spend untold millions deciding which of the lawbreakers are to be admitted and then caring for them after they are?

It’s not like all options for lawful entry have been closed off to “asylum seekers” – they’re just being manipulated by open borders subversives to create an incident at the expense of both exploited foreigners and national sovereignty.

“Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said asylum claims will be resolved ‘efficiently and expeditiously’ but said the asylum-seekers should seek it in the first safe country they reach, including Mexico,” the AP report notes.

Yeah. Once they’re in Mexico, which chose to admit them, they can go to the consulate and make their case. Not that once they’re in a “safe” country they really have one.  Trying to pressure and embarrass us, Mexico created this problem. They should be made to own it.

There are other dynamics in play here as well.  If simply being impoverished and living in primitive squalor and tyranny qualifies someone to come here, we need to open our doors to billions from around the world, just to be logically consistent. That’ll suit just fine “no-brainers” Blair Overstreet and Matt Dunn (quoted in the LA Times report), who are eager to open their apartment to a “refugee.”.

Not that most of the transplants will have private accommodations offered. And that, of course, will swamp the lifeboat and we’ll soon all be one big Third World hell hole — with the exception of our elite globalist rulers. And wait ‘til you get a load of their “commonsense guns safety laws.”

That will be OK for those with an alien understanding of the relationship between people and government. Having demonstrated their utter inability at self rule in their native land, they’re here to overwhelm us with their “diverse” ways. And those of us who resist will be branded intolerant, xenophobes, haters…

Which makes it fair to ask if we’re so evil, why are they running toward us rather than away from us?

It’s also fair to ask if “refugees” won’t stand fight for their country, what makes anyone think they’ll stand and fight for ours? In truth, they don’t have to. The oath for naturalized citizens was changed three years ago to where they no longer be expected to “bear arms on behalf of the United States” or “perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States” when required by the law.”

Let the country continue to be swarmed and Balkanized, and we may find no such aversion to bearing arms against the United States.

Conservative Champion Kyle Duncan Confirmed to Fifth Circuit Appeals Court

This article comes from Breitbart.com

by Ken Klukowski

WASHINGTON, DC – Senators confirmed conservative legal champion Kyle Duncan to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on Tuesday, President Trump’s 14th confirmed lifetime appointment to the federal appellate courts.

Duncan’s nomination had been delayed as part of Democrats’ unprecedented obstruction on Capitol Hill, despite the fact that he is a former Louisiana solicitor general, law professor, Supreme Court litigator, and clerked for a Fifth Circuit judge.

The 46-year-old Duncan is well-known in the legal community for championing the full range of conservative issues, including litigating for conservative values regarding LGBT issues. He is respected as a soft-spoken Christian gentleman. He is also a prominent Federalist Society member, whose commitment to textualist legal interpretation and originalist constitutional interpretation is exactly what President Trump promised voters.

The Judicial Crisis Network (JCN) made Duncan’s confirmation a top priority, organizing grassroots support to move his name through the ongoing Senate gridlock. JCN ran a six-figure ad campaign touting Duncan’s qualifications.

This California State Assembly bill would BAN the Bible!

It’s hard to imagine what the Control Freaks in the California Assembly actually want to do. They want to Ban the Bible, among other things! Whatever happened to Free Speech and Religious Freedom? Of course, this is the People’s Republic of California, so such things are to be expected. They are so far down the totalitarian, Globalist path that they are oblivious to any sane, sensible ideas. God Help the people of California. Then again, they insist on voting these nut cases into office.

Dershowitz: Targeting Trump’s lawyer should worry us all

This opinion piece comes from TheHill.com

By Alan M. Dershowitz, opinion contributor

There is much speculation as to the significance of the search of the offices and hotel room of President Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen. To obtain a search warrant, prosecutors must demonstrate to a judge that they have probable cause to believe that the premises to be searched contain evidence of crime. They must also specify the area to be searched, the items to be seized and, in searches of computers, the word searches to be used.

At least that’s the constitutional requirement in theory, especially where the Sixth Amendment right to counsel is involved, in addition to the general Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches. Yet, in practice, judges often give the FBI considerable latitude, relying on the “firewalls” and “taint teams” they set up to protect the subject of the search from violation of his or her constitutional rights.

But the firewalls and taint teams are comprised of government agents who themselves may not be entitled to read or review many of the items seized. It is an imperfect protection of important constitutional rights. That’s why Justice Department officials must be careful to limit the searching of lawyers’ offices to compelling cases involving serious crimes. We don’t know at this point what the prosecutors are looking for but, if it relates to payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels, that would not seem to justify so potentially intrusive a search of Cohen’s confidential lawyer-client files.

Larry King: Time to Repeal the ‘Poorly Written’ Second Amendment

Here we go! After retired Supreme Court Justice Stevens, in a New York Times Opinion piece suggested the 2nd Amendment should be repealed, Mainstream Media, liberal Larry King agreed with Stevens. The full court press is on, now, and it will be interesting to see who joins in on the repeal side. For years the gun-grabbers have said they don’t want to take our guns, or have said they support the 2nd Amendment, but want “gun control”. The mask is now off. The first voices for repeal of the 2nd Amendment have been heard.

I call BS. Liberals and Progressives who support the Globalist Agenda want us disarmed. Period. They want us subservient to the State, and dependent on “authorities” for our personal defense and to restrict us from being capable of overthrowing tyranny. Without the 2nd Amendment, all of our freedoms are in jeopardy.

From Breitbart:

On March 27 Breitbart News reported that the most recent poll on repealing the Second Amendment — a February Economist/YouGov poll — shows only 21 percent of Americans support a repeal of the Second Amendment. It takes three-fourths of the states to approve such an repeal, and that only happens after two-thirds of the House and two-thirds of the Senate sign off on it (or after two-thirds of the states propose it).

Many States have within their State Constitutions an individual right to own firearms. My State of Montana is one of them. Will police, who swear an oath to both the US Constitution and the State Constitution, be asked to seize our guns? I doubt many will comply, as they know there will be great resistance. Many will simply resign.

This latest attempt at gun control is, it would seem, a last ditch effort by the Globalists to deflect attention from their attempts to control the narrative, which is failing miserably, and to cause more chaos, division and confusion. That is what they do. The Globalists worldwide are failing. They know it and we know it. They have no qualms about bringing everything down with them. If they can’t have their way, they will do a scorched earth policy, leaving behind wreckage which they still hope to arise from as masters. They cannot admit defeat. Ever.

People like former Justice Stevens and Larry King are very old, and have been chosen by the Globalist hierarchy to lead the way in this blatant attempt to subjugate us. They have little to lose at this point, so they are being sacrificed on the altar of Globalism. Who else will join them in this failed effort?

NY Times Op-Ed: “Repeal the Second Amendment” to “Make Schoolchildren Safer”

This article comes from InfoWars.com.

by Paul Joseph Watson

A New York Times op-ed published this morning calls for repealing the Second Amendment in its entirety in order to “make our schoolchildren safer”.

Written by John Paul Stevens, a retired associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, the article claims that merely calling for age limits on purchasing firearms to be raised is not enough and that gun control activists should “demand a repeal of the Second Amendment.”

Asserting that the right to bear arms is a “relic of the 18th century,” Stevens decries the 2008 Columbia v. Heller Supreme Court ruling, on which he was one of the dissenters, which found that there was an individual right to bear arms.

“Overturning that decision via a constitutional amendment to get rid of the Second Amendment would be simple and would do more to weaken the N.R.A.’s ability to stymie legislative debate and block constructive gun control legislation than any other available option,” writes Stevens.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.   Please plan on joining by computer so you will be able to see video presentations and also so you can ask questions and make comments.

Presenters will be Navy Jack and Stewart Rhodes.   We may add other presenters.

NavyJack will review the continuing efforts of the resistance movement against Trump, including the coordinated support for the office of special counsel Mueller. He will provide a list of potential guideposts that will determine the landscape for the upcoming mid-term elections, the prognosis for the remaining three years of the President’s term, and how these events are shaping domestic and foreign policy.

Stewart Rhodes will present on the reality that the state government of California, by declaring itself a “sanctuary state,” is now  in insurrection against the legitimate, constitutionally enacted immigration laws of the Union, in direct violation of clear federal law that makes harboring illegal aliens a felony offense, and how this amounts to an insurrection against the Constitution itself, which guarantees to each state a republican form of government – and how this is the latest salvo in an ongoing Marxist/Democratic party coup/insurrection which aims to illegitimately secure a permanent leftist/Democratic lock on political power not just in California but across the nation.  He will also highlight some ominous parallels with what is happening in Europe and how this all ties in with globalist goals of destabilization and consolidation of their power.

Stewart will also lead a discussion on what can and must be done about this at the federal and state level, and what role we the people, and especially we the trained military and police, have to play in putting down this insurrection – which is aimed at the final checkmate and destruction of our Constitutional Republic.

Please join us for this important webinar.   You will be encouraged to ask questions and to comment.   Please invite your friends and family to attend, and please also spread the word on social media and by email.

For the Republic,

Oath Keepers

PS – Please note that this is not about race.  This is about ideology – the cancer of Marxism that has infected this nation just like it has infected Europe with similar results – intentional national assisted suicide.    The Marxists use racial ‘identity politics” to divide and conquer the American people along racial lines, and in particular aim to radicalize and weaponize both native born and immigrant racial minorities, by indoctrinating them with Marxist ideology and resultant hatred of this nation and its institutions.  Immigrants (legal and illegal) are encouraged NOT to assimilate, and to instead have loyalty to their nation of origin and to their race- if non-white (just as is done in Europe with the Muslim immigrants, except they are encouraged to place radical Islam in the prime place of loyalty).  Native born American minorities are likewise conditioned to hate and despise the nation of their birth and its Constitution, as being inherently “racist, imperialistic, and oppressive” – the standard Marxist propaganda against all Western Civilization.

 

This is not about race.  This is about ideology.  A message from new Oath Keepers member, Max Vasquez (USMC Vietnam veteran):  “Just let him know that I support and stand next to him. Ready to go to the border and help secure it. “To Protect and Defend..”, Oath did not have an expiration date on it.”  Semper Fi Marine.  You fought communists in Vietnam, now you fight them here too.

Of course, the Marxists, especially in universities, also indoctrinate millions of white Americans to likewise hate and despise the nation of their birth, using the same propaganda – again, just as is done in Europe, so that anyone who opposes them is labeled “racist” and “fascist” for simply defending the fundamental building blocks of Western Civilization such as rule of law, private property, free enterprise, individual liberty, free speech, constitutional limited government, and sane immigration that only allows immigration at a rate that ensures assimilation and loyalty to the nation.  in fact, the very concept of a nation, with secured borders and enforced immigration laws, which deserves loyalty, is attacked.  All of of the above are demonized as inherently “racist” and “xenophobic” with the only “approved answer” being unconditional surrender and submission to endless open border immigration, non-assimilation, and intentional balkanization.  The goal is nothing less than the fragmenting and destruction of all of Western Civilization, to be replaced with a SJW Marxist Hell on Earth which the globalist, corporate fascist elites will ultimately rule from above.

That is how we end up with white, black, and brown Americans all burning the American flag, flying the Soviet flag or some other foreign flag, refusing to stand for the national anthem, and running around in black masks, assaulting anyone who disagrees with them.

And this is why we wouldn’t want ten million white Swedes to emigrate here either, judging by what a FUBAR socialist mess Sweden now is.  No thanks. We have enough Marxist internal enemies already.   Stay in Sweden and fix Sweden.  They demonstrate that ideology shapes destiny, regardless of race.  A cancerous ideology like Marxism will kill any nation.

Thankfully, there are millions of American patriots who are now wise to this strategy and are pushing back.  let’s help lead the way.

Grassley-Graham Memo: Dossier Author Christopher Steele Lied to FBI, FBI Didn’t Tell FISA Court

(See below for the entire Grassley-Grahm memo, with some redactions.)

by Kristina Wong   6 Feb 2018

Trump dossier author Christopher Steele lied to the FBI about his contact with Yahoo News, and the FBI misled a court to obtain a surveillance warrant on a former Trump campaign adviser, according to a less-redacted version of a memo by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC).

Their memo, which was released Tuesday evening after the FBI withdrew some of its previous redactions, also reveals a number of other bombshells, and backs up assertions made in the House Intelligence Committee memo.

A newly-unredacted portion of the memo says that Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Grassley, ranking member Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), and Crime and Terrorism Subcommittee Chairman Graham all saw the FISA warrant application and renewals for a surveillance warrant on Carter Page.

According to the memo, the FBI relied “heavily” on the Steele dossier, and also relied on “numerous” other FBI documents related to Steele, in order to get a surveillance warrant on Page in October 2016, and to continue surveilling him through 2017.

Then-FBI Director James Comey briefed Feinstein and Grassley in March 2017, and told them that the FBI had relied on the dossier “absent meaningful corroboration — and in light of the highly political motives surrounding its creation” because Steele himself was considered reliable due to his past work with the FBI.

The House Intelligence Committee memo asserted that the FBI had significantly relied on the dossier to get the warrant, but critics refuted that.

The Grassley-Graham memo also supports the House memo’s assertion that the FBI did not tell the FISA court (FISC) that the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee were behind the dossier.

The Grassley-Graham memo spells out exactly why the two senators recommended Steele for a criminal investigation, for lying to the FBI.

The FBI included in its initial FISA warrant application in October 2016 a September 2016 Yahoo News article that contained information that seemingly corroborated the dossier.

Steele apparently told the FBI that he had not spoken to Yahoo News for the article, and the FBI related that in its application to the FISC. The FBI learned in October he had unauthorized contacts with media, and suspended its relationship with Steele.

However, in a January 2017 FISA application renewal on Page, it noted in a footnote that it had suspended its relationship with Steele based on unauthorized contacts with the media in October 2016, but still continued to defend that he had nothing to do with the Yahoo News article. The FBI also did so in subsequent renewals.

The FBI did so despite an April 2017 report that said Steele had testified to a British court that he had spoken to news outlets before October 2016, and senior Justice Department official Bruce Ohr had also told the FBI about those contacts in November or December 2016. The memo noted that the committee had evidence of those contacts before October 2016 as well.

The FBI also noted in its January 2017 application renewal that Steele was “bothered” by the FBI reopening its investigation into Clinton

The FBI also unredacted a portion that said Steele’s information “formed a significant portion of the FBI’s warrant application, and the FISA application relied more heavily on Steele’s credibility than on any independent verification or corroboration for his claims.”

The Nunes memo has been released

The House Intelligence Committee has released, without redactions, the classified Nunes memo on alleged FISA abuses. The release was vehemently opposed by the intelligence community, with the FBI issuing a rare public statement to express its “grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.”

What the memo alleges:

• The dossier authored by Christopher Steele was “an essential part” of the FBI and the Justice Department’s justification for conducting electronic surveillance of Carter Page. It also notes the dossier was funded by the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s campaign.


• Steele said he was “desperate that Donald Trump not get elected.”


• This “clear evidence of Steele’s bias” wasn’t reflected in any of the applications to authorize the electronic surveillance.

One more thing: The memo also says that information about Trump campaign adviser George Papadopolous “triggered the opening of an FBI counterintelligence investigation” in July 2016 by Peter Strzok, one of the FBI agents who later got in trouble for texts about Trump and Clinton.

• Twitter is abuzz with speculation — like this tweet from David French — that this fact undercuts the memo’s thesis that the Russia investigation sprung mostly from the Steele dossier.

Trump to Democrats: Stop dragging your feet on DACA

By Lukas Mikelionis | Fox News

President Donald Trump late Thursday tweeted that top Democrats are “not calling” about DACA and indicated that Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, two top-ranking Democrats, will be to blame if no deal is made by next month’s deadline.

The president is turning up the heat on Democrats, who forced a government shutdown last month over the lack of deal on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA recipients – illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children.

 

“The Democrats just aren’t calling about DACA. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have to get moving fast, or they’ll disappoint you again,” Trump tweeted. “We have a great chance to make a deal or, blame the Dems! March 5th is coming up fast.”

Trump tweeted earlier Thursday urging Democrats to act on DACA.

“They Resist, Blame, Complain and Obstruct – and do nothing. Start pushing Nancy Pelosi and the Dems to work out a DACA fix, NOW!” he wrote.

The White House last week released an immigration plan offering a path to citizenship for nearly 1.8 million of the so-called “Dreamers” in exchange for a $25 billion investment in border security, including a wall along the Mexico border.

Virginia ‘Domestic Terrorism’ Bill is really a Rights-Trampling Power Grab

Leave it to Opposite Day “progressives” to reverse the intent behind Virginia’s state motto.

In one of those occasional convergences that happen every so often, the American Civil Liberties Union is coming down on the right side of pending legislation by opposing a Virginia bill “that would define domestic terrorism and add it to its list of criminal charges,” the Daily Press reports.

The bill “raises ‘significant constitutional concerns,’ particularly with the First Amendment [and] is written in a way that could allow the state government to target minority communities who have ‘unpopular beliefs,’” the report explains. “Specifically, the power that the superintendent of Virginia State Police would hold in labeling groups as domestic terrorist groups — without those groups being notified in advance — is a concern.”

While ACLU’s concerns are valid, the “minority” group the bill is intended to target does not people they are overly concerned about. Understanding that the legislation is a Democrat response to Charlottesville, it should come as no surprise that the intent is to take attention away from threats imported through “progressive” cultural and political “fundamental transformation” policies and point a finger and assumption of guilt toward the native-born.

Look at the two main shakers and movers behind the legislation: Delegate Marcia “Cia” Price and Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, both “progressive” anti-gun / pro-“immigration” Democrats. So naturally they have no problem limiting rights to freely assemble and associate based on an edict that “defines domestic terrorism as a violent or criminal act that aims to intimidate or instill fear in someone because of their race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation or disability, or to stop someone from pursuing their constitutional rights.”

That’s a pretty loose benchmark, especially since we see college “safe spaces” and after-event counseling for “snowflakes” overwrought because a “conservative” was allowed to speak on a college campus. What does it really take for such as these to claim intimidation and fear, and why should their neuroses—real or faked — have any bearing on the rights of free people? And this goes a step further: If you “knowingly provide resources” (donate a few bucks, drive members to a rally site, etc.?) to such a group, you could apparently be up for a Class 5 felony.

But wait, there’s more!

“Price’s bill would require the Virginia State Police superintendent to identify groups that meet the definition of a domestic terrorist organization and to list them annually in the Virginia Register of Regulations, which is a guiding document for state agencies,” the report elaborates.  “The bill would require local police departments to report acts of domestic terrorism to the State Police, but those reports could be withheld from the public.”

What could go wrong, not only in giving police such powers to designate who’s who in “domestic terrorism,” but also in keeping the citizens they supposedly work for in the dark?

And understand that as backdrop to all this, there was another story from almost a year ago when Herring held “a town hall meeting at a ‘terror-linked’ mosque in Northern Virginia.”

Does anyone have any doubts as to what these people are doing and why?

Curiously — maddeningly, some would maintain — many Virginians are asleep at the switch. As their state turns from red to blue, with an influx of newly-minted citizens leading the way, the Republicans in the House narrowly missed losing their majority by just one vote in a contest that then had to be decided by pulling a name out of a canister. Literally.

It’s not lost on “progressives” that this is happening in the state that is home to National Rifle Association headquarters. And it’s not lost on a few of us that the end game this enables will allow Democrats to pass whatever anti-gun legislation they wish and to appoint judges who will uphold those “laws.”

Obama Admin’s ‘Brazen Plot To Exonerate Hillary Clinton’ Starting To Leak Out

Interview by Ginni Thomas   1-20-2018

A former federal prosecutor says the truth is starting to seep out about the Obama Administration’s “brazen plot to exonerate Hillary Clinton” and “frame an incoming president with a false Russian conspiracy,” according to an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller News Foundation.

 

Joe diGenova, a former federal prosecutor, connects the dots on former Obama administration Justice Department and FBI officials who may have “violated the law, perhaps committed crimes” to politicize law enforcement and surveillance against political opponents.

He says former FBI Director James Comey conducted a fake criminal investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as they “followed none of the regular rules, gave her every break in the book, immunized all kinds of people, allowed the destruction of evidence, with no grand jury, no subpoenas, no search warrants. That’s not an investigation. That’s a Potemkin village. It’s a farce.”

DiGenova condemned the FBI for working so closely with the controversial Fusion GPS, a political hit squad paid by the DNC and Clinton campaign to create and spread the discredited Steele dossier about President Donald Trump. Without a justifiable law enforcement or national security reason, he says, the FBI “created false facts so that they could get surveillance warrants. Those are all crimes.” He adds, using official FISA-702 “queries” and surveillance was done “to create a false case against a candidate, and then a president.”

In this highly detailed video interview, he holds up an unreported April 2017 99-page FISA court opinion that “describes systematic and on-going violations of the law [by the FBI and their contractors using unauthorized disclosures of raw intelligence on Americans]. This is stunning stuff.”

DiGenova thinks Fusion GPS and Crowdstrike, the DNC’s private security firm, were among the redacted contractors of the FBI.

House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes, who knows who the redacted contractors were, may release more information.

Was Fusion GPS pitching and funding journalists to run smear and propaganda campaigns for the Democrats? DiGenova says journalists were definitely paid by Fusion GPS. If it is true, he says, “it’s the complete antithesis of American journalism and the first amendment.”

“Law enforcement is being corrupted and media is being bought,” portends badly he says. Noting the elite media’s supposed outrage about governmental power and institutions during Watergate, diGenova says “the only thing the American journalism community seems to care about now is destroying Donald Trump.”

California Begins Registering Illegal Aliens To Vote In Federal Elections

Illegal alien voters in California have it easy. All they now have to do is make the claim that they are citizens and the willing traitors in power take them at their word. They can vote

The Democrats are about to pull the trigger. They’ve laid the foundation of wide-open voter rolls, civil rights legal entanglements and motor voter registration for the purpose of using illegals to distort elections in their favor in the past. Now they’re going for the big enchilada.

Starting April first, the joke will be on the American people as the corrupt anti-American Democrats who have seized California comply with the ruling of one of their planted agitator judges and begin automatically registering people to vote as citizens simply by virtue of their possession of a drivers license.

 

The obvious problem with that system is that California no longer requires that one prove they are a citizen of the United States in order to obtain a license to drive a vehicle, so effectively, they are doing the same thing for voting, opening it up to illegal aliens squatting in our country.

Any illegal alien who answers “si” on the question of whether they are an American citizen is taken at his word. No documents are verified, nothing is checked.

In announcing their successful circumvention of the Constitution, our national sovereignty and the requirement of citizenship for voting, Jeremiah Levine, an attorney for the open borders, anti-American groups stated, “We are especially satisfied that changes will be made before California’s statewide and federal primary elections.”

California has just delegitimized their entire voting population and should not be allowed to participate in any national elections unless those voting provide proof of citizenship. If that means establishing a separate federal registration status for Californians, so be it, there’s time to do so. Otherwise, no votes cast in California should count in national totals due to the deliberate inclusion of illegal, foreign registrants.

Democrats Cave on ‘Schumer Shutdown,’ Agree to Three-Week Spending Bill

Senate Democrats caved on the “Schumer Shutdown,” on Monday and agreed to a three-week spending bill that will fund the government until February 8.

Shortly before the cloture vote, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) told reporters that after leaving the Democratic meeting, the three-week Continuing Resolution (CR) might even get 70 votes.

In the end, the Senate approved the motion to invoke cloture and end debate, 81-18, featuring overwhelming bipartisan support.

One Senate Democratic source told reporters that the CR is “good to go” in the Senate, and revealed that Democrats remain fully aware of the negative polling that suggests that Democrats will take the blame for shutting the government to force a vote on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) illegal aliens.

Democrat Shutdown Deliberately Places Foreign Interests above those of Americans

Just whose domestic Tranquility, common defence, general Welfare, and Blessings of Liberty did these guys have in mind…? [Scene at the Signing of the Constitution of the United States — Howard Chandler Christy/ United States Capitol]

The U.S. government is in its second day of a shutdown (as yet unresolved at this writing) because Democrats in the Senate refuse to pass the appropriations budget (or a continuing resolution) unless President Donald Trump gives in to their demands to surrender on a so-called “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” (DACA) “deal.” While the Daily News is reporting “Democrats said Sunday they’re now willing to accept President Trump’s controversial border wall in exchange for protecting young immigrants from deportation … Republicans are demanding that any deal include an end to chain migration and a visa lottery program.”

A “pathway to citizenship” for these illegal aliens  essentially guarantees that not just so-called “DREAMers,” but millions of foreign nationals, along with their “birthright citizenship” offspring, will culturally transform the Republic and do the same to the electorate. And the Democrat greedily want that because all credible polls – and the real world experience we can see for ourselves in places like California – demonstrate such populations favor their party and gun restrictions by an overwhelming  margin, which will give them control of the legislatures and the courts.

That said, the reaction of some “conservatives” to the government shutdown has been “Good!” After all, look how many powers the federal government has usurped that are nowhere authorized to it in the Constitution. Look at all the new “Intolerable Acts” enacted, enforced and upheld. Look at all the faceless bureaucrats imposing tyrannical regulations. The federal government “has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance” in a way George III could not have conceived in his wildest fit of madness.

That’s inarguable, and it points to a much larger problem with remedies that go far beyond the scope of what I’m arguing here. Regardless, it all goes back to following the Constitution and its delegated powers as enumerated by the Founders.

Besides, that’s not what the Democrats are doing.

Lawful powers were ordained and established – by the people – in order to actualize the purposes and objectives articulated in the Preamble:

“[T]o form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity…”

That’s the main reason for this government being in existence. That’s what “consent of the governed” was given to do and anything that does not advance that mission statement is, by simple logical consistency—illegitimate. What the Democrats (and any Quisling Republicans abetting them) are attempting to do is thwart the government’s ability to fulfill these obligations – to ourselves and our Posterity — and to instead advance the interests of foreign nationals (and their governments).

That makes the Democrats power-grab a calculated betrayal of our country through oath-breaking of the lowest order.
