CNN's Jim Acosta Can't take the Heat

CNN's Jim Acosta and CNN have no problem bashing President Trump, his Team and Supporters. 

They do it at length around the clock on the network.  CNN has gone after these people or encouraged people to go after them. 

I haven't heard CNN call out the harassment of the White House Press Secretary.  I didn't hear them condemn the treatment she received at the Correspondents dinner.  I didn't hear them condemn the treatment she got at the restaurant.  I haven't heard them condemn any of these attacks of the Presidents staff. 

However now that Acosta has been given the same treatment by supporters of the President, he is unhappy and wants something done.

CNN has been an attack dog against the President from the very beginning.  If CNN had any ounce of bipartisanship and the same standard for everyone they wouldn't be in the position they are in. 

I don't agree with what happened to Acosta, but I also don't agree with the actions of the left against members of the Trump White House or Trump Supporters.  So in this case I do not feel sorry for Acosta or CNN.  This is the environment that you helped create.

Democrat Sen. Mazie Hirono - This is whats wrong with Washington

The Democrats are struggling to provide a message that resonates with the American Voters.  They have changed that message quite often since Trump took office and haven't landed on a solid one yet.

They haven't figured out that the American People are on to Politicians.  Especially the Democrats who continue to pander to their extreme left base and not the mainstream America.  They don't even know what is going on just the party story of what is going on.

FOX News:

Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono was questioning ICE Executive Associate Director for Enforcement and Removal Operations Matthew Albence about the immigration laws being prosecuted by the agency.

"These individuals are [in holding centers] because they have broken a law," Albence said in response to Hirono asking whether he would want his child put in an ICE facility.

Hirono countered that the illegal immigrants "have broken a law only as deemed so by [President Donald Trump]."

Albence corrected Hirono, saying that Trump did not create the law that criminalizes unauthorized border crossings.

"I'm confused," Hirono said.

Albence cited the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, codified under Title 8 of the U.S. Code.

He said that illegal entry can be prosecuted as a civil and/or criminal infraction.

This is America Today....Death Threats for Nothing

A 15 year old girl crossed the border illegally and was being held in a detention facility while being processed. 

She escaped and hid in an auto shop.  The police found her and arrested her. 

Now the pro illegal crowd is threatening the shop owner and his family.  What did he do wrong?

MSN:

"Everybody thinks I called the police to come take the girl away," Gonzalez, the shop's owner, said Monday. "That's not true. The shelter people called 911. Police were already searching the area and came right into the shop. Now my elderly mom had to evacuate her home, and I have to walk in public with sunglasses and carry a firearm."

According to Homestead police, Gonzalez's story checks out.

This is the reaction of people while at the same time blaming Trump for the divisiveness.  

Unbelievable!!!

Top 5 Cities Most infested with Rats...

MSN:

No one is going to be bragging about taking the number one spot for the most rat-infested city. The yucky rodents can squeeze or chew their way through just about anything. We know what you’re thinking—you want to stay far, far away from these nasty creatures. The city you’ll want to be farthest from?  Chicago.

For the third year in a row, Chicago has topped the list of the most rat-infested cities. According to Orkin

Rodents invade 21 million homes every winter so even if you live on the West Coast (far away from Chicago), your city probably isn’t completely rat-free. The other rattiest cities that made the top five are New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco-Oakland, and Washington, D.C.

Nice list.  Now if we could figure out what all of these cities have in common, hmmmm.

Twitter Reacts to Josh Hader Standing Ovation

Much has been said about Tweets that surfaced during the All Star Game about Josh Hader. 

Hader said many things that most people can agree were derogatory and wrong.  They are not acceptable at all.

But just like everything else in America today, people are using them to push agendas.

I give it to Josh, he owned up to them right away.  He apologized and explained that he was a teenager and did and said some stupid things.  Those tweets do not represent the person he is now.

I don't know what these people want or expect.

We have seen it time after time, Professional athletes with things in their backgrounds that are not the best of the best. 

The fans in Milwaukee stood up and applauded Josh Hader.  Yes they did.  They did it to show him they support the man that he is now.  The person that he has become.  Not for the person he was back then and not to support what he said then.

The people unhappy with that are just trying to push an agenda. 

I support Josh Hader.  He hasn't given me any reason not too.  Has he made bad choices in his life as a youngster?  Absolutely.  Do I support those things he said?  Absolutely Not.  But that doesn't represent the man that I have seen in his time here in Milwaukee.  I will judge him on the person he is now.  He has my full support.

To all of those that want to continue to live on the words of a 17 year old from 7 years back, go ahead and live in the past.  That says a lot about the people you are.

Foxconn Putting the Smackdown on the Democrats in Wisconsin

The Governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker, touted the Foxconn deal as a landmark deal for Wisconsin. 

Democrats have been against it from day one.  Talking about how it was much to do about nothing and that Wisconsin is going to lose.

Journal Sentinel:

“It’s clear,” said Senate Minority Leader Jennifer Shilling of LaCrosse, that the “Foxconn gamble has become an albatross instead of the golden goose Gov. Walker thought it would be.” 

Assembly Minority Leader Gordon Hintz (D-Oshkosh) complained that the Foxconn deal was the “result of a rushed process borne out of political expediency rather than sound economic development policy.”

“It appears Foxconn may break promises to Wisconsin before they even break ground in our state,” said Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokeswoman Melanie Conklin.

People across the State complained.  Democrats were united against it except for the ones in the Racine and Kenosha area.

Democratic Candidates have targeted Foxconn in their run against Walker for re-election.  

Journal Sentinel:

“The governor does not know what he’s doing,” said Madison Mayor Paul Soglin. “I’d like to know what he was smoking when he negotiated this deal. In China they’re laughing at us.”

"Obviously, Scott Walker sold the farm on that issue," said state Schools Superintendent Tony Evers.

Cap Times:

Rep. Dana Wachs, D-Eau Claire, in an interview earlier this month. "When they break this contract, we will find a way to end it."

In an interview late last year, Milwaukee attorney Matt Flynn said he will end the deal "no matter what," adding that he would enter litigation to break the contract if necessary.  

Yet in the face of all this nonsense from the Democrats Foxconn has went on to not only live up to what they have promised so far.  They have expanded on it to include most of the entire state of Wisconsin.  Putting additional facilities in Milwaukee, Green Bay and now newly announced Eau Claire. 

The Democrats with all of their talk of doing what they can against Foxconn if they win are now facing killing job making opportunities not just in South East Wisconsin, but now across the state.  Taking away opportunities from Students and the very people we are trying to keep and draw to the state. 

Foxconn is painting the Democrats into a corner and the Democrats are talking themselves right out of the election to become Governor.

John Brennan and McCain are the ones Treasonous and Disgraceful

President Trump once again drew the ire of critics when he wouldn't come out and call Putin a liar on a national stage and to his face.  Even though Trump telegraphed that earlier in the week saying he didn't expect the leader to admit to it.

Trump is trying to thaw the relationship between the two nations and get to a working relationship that will help with multiple world issues.  How these idiot talking heads think confronting the leader on a national stage and face to face will help accomplish that is beyond me. 

Their statements and reactions came out more as disgraceful and treasonous did the Presidents. They have no idea what the conversation was behind closed doors.  They have no idea how that conversation went.  It is obvious that it was discussed.  Both leaders acknowledged that it was a part of the conversation. 

These talking head idiots would rather maintain a combative arrangement between the two nations over the meddling of our election.  This somehow has become such a big thing since Trump was elected.  It has been going on for years by many countries and right here at home.  We have candidates that we support in elections around the world and push for them.  We have done that for years and years.  Thanks to the Russians or whomever, we also know the Democratic National Committee rigged our elections in favor of Hillary Clinton.  Obama knew of the meddling for quite some time before this election and didn't do much to stop it until Trump had won. 

The outrage is manufactured.  It is manufactured because the Political establishment lost.  That is what the outrage is really about. 

I don't remember talking head John Brennan calling Obama Treasonous when he was caught on a hot mic telling the Russians after his last election he would have more room to make concessions with them. 

Trump may not be the speaker that Obama was, but his actions speak loudly to the American People and the leaders around the world.  Trump has taken a much harder line with friend and foe alike.  Obama and many leaders talked a good game, but put politics ahead of action. 

Trump has called out our allies for their lack of commitment to their very own security.  It has been a sticking point for many administrations.  The lack of funding some of these nations put into defense and NATO is appalling.  Yet they know we will be there if they need us.  Trump has pushed for them to pay their bill.  Trump understands that a strong Defense will deter such actions as North Korea, Iran and yes Russia.

Trump called out Germany, rightfully so on their deal with Russia.  NATO was put in place to be the defense against Russian aggression.  Yet Germany, the very same country we are vowed to protect against Russia, has been working with Russia in a multi billion dollar deal to provide 70% of its energy needs.  Russia will have control over 70% of Germany's energy?  Doesn't sound like Germany is much concerned about big bad Russia.

FOX News:

But, we do know that since taking office, President Trump has taken a much harder line on Russia than did his predecessor. President Obama visited Moscow in 2009 and soon thereafter abandoned a missile defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic that infuriated Russia. Trump has since reinstated the program. Obama refused to send military-grade weapons to the Ukraine; Trump is doing so. Obama was reluctant to ramp up liquified natural gas exports that would compete with Russian gas, but Trump is prioritizing such shipments and calling out Germany for its reliance on Russian energy.

Trump has surrounded himself with Russia hawks like National Security Advisor John Bolton and Defense Secretary James Mattis. If he were in cahoots with the Kremlin, he has a funny way of showing it.

The reaction to the Helsinki conference was over the top, given how little we know about what went on behind the scenes. It was also sad. It’s almost as though Trump’s critics wanted him to fail. But wouldn't hoping for increased confrontations with Russia be…treasonous?

Trump may not have been so eloquent with the words he used after the meeting, but make no mistake about it.  Trump is in the middle of negotiations with many countries on many fronts and the actions of the talking heads make it much more difficult to get results abroad.

These people are the ones that are treasonous and disgraceful.  These people are the ones who don't have America's best interest at heart.  

Is Trump Wrong on these Policies? Immigration, Tariffs and The Swamp.

It seems like everyday I have to listen to people like Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders and the Media tell me how wrong Donald Trump is.  How America is up in arms and protests are breaking out about these policies.  How he is Racist and the Devil and destroying America.

However I feel like I must be the smartest person alive.  Because I can do some research and my memory must be better than most because I can also remember.  I can remember when almost every President since I have been alive has felt the same way as President Trump.

I can remember Bill Clinton and Obama pushing for tighter borders and Immigration.  I can remember them complaining about trade and the unfair practices.

It seems I am the only one who remembers those comments.  I am the only one who can do research and find out that:

CNSNews:

In his 1995 State of the Union speech, then-President Bill Clinton repeatedly dared to repeatedly use the term “illegal aliens” while calling for tighter border security and doubling deportations.
In his speech, Clinton recognized that people “are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country.” He called for the border to be secured, hiring a record number of border guards, and “deporting twice as many illegal aliens as before.”

Clinton even expressed umbrage that illegal aliens were stealing jobs from actual U.S. citizens.
“The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public services they use impose burdens on our taxpayers,” Clinton told the audience. “We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws.”

Clinton received a large standing ovation for his remarks.

Or

 CNSNEWS:

Former U.S. senator (D-NY) and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as recently as 2006, was also in support of securing the border. As a senator, Clinton voted in support of building a wall on the southern border.

There is more:

Ticotimes January 2014:

 WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Obama administration toughened its border policies Friday, hoping to stem a surge of women and children into the United States by sending a stronger message that unauthorized migrants will be turned away.

The steps, aimed at those entering from Mexico, include adding more immigration judges to process a backlog of asylum claims and to more quickly deport adults whose cases are rejected. New detention facilities are also being opened for families awaiting hearings and ankle monitoring bracelets will be used to keep tabs on them, officials said.

The moves mark a recognition by the administration that the unexpected influx of tens of thousands of immigrant children has become a serious humanitarian and political crisis. So far this year, 52,000 unaccompanied minors and 39,000 adults with children have been apprehended along the Mexican border — a much higher proportion than normal.

 How about this picture from 2014 (Obama was President).

NYTimes

Two children detained by the Border Patrol in a holding cell in Nogales, Ariz.  This image has been widely shared on social media in recent days, offered as an example of the Trump administration's cruel policies toward immigrants, but in fact the picture was taken in 2014.

 This one too.

mcclatchydc.com:

WASHINGTON

President Barack Obama separated parents from their children at the border. 

Obama prosecuted mothers for coming to the United States illegally. He fast tracked deportations. And yes, he housed unaccompanied children in tent cities.

How about the tariffs and trade war going on?  What did former adminstrations think about all of that?

CNN:

President Obama slapped a stiff 35% tariff on Chinese tires in 2009 after American companies complained about unfair competition. They said China was flooding America with tires at low prices making it tough for U.S. companies to compete. The tire tariff gradually waned, and finally ended in 2012.

The tariff saved 1,200 U.S. tire jobs, which had been in sharp decline. And U.S. tire production rose after a major decline.

"Over a thousand Americans are working today because we stopped a surge in Chinese tires," Obama said in his 2012 State of the Union address.

 USTR.gov:

“I will go anywhere in the world to open new markets for American products.  And I will not stand by when our competitors don’t play by the rules.  We’ve brought trade cases against China at nearly twice the rate as the last administration – and it’s made a difference.  Over a thousand Americans are working today because we stopped a surge in Chinese tires.  But we need to do more.  It’s not right when another country lets our movies, music, and software be pirated.  It’s not fair when foreign manufacturers have a leg up on ours only because they’re heavily subsidized.”

-President Barack Obama, 1/24/2012

As far as draining the swamp, well I don't think that is much of a question.  After all of the information coming out about the FBI and DOJ.  This story I believe will be going on for quite some time and you could see some former high level people be put in play before this is over. 

What most Americans have believed for some time has been proven to be true.  There is a level of corruption in the Federal Government at the highest levels protecting the select few.

All my Democrat Friends have gone Insane

I have noticed since Trump got elected that almost every one of my Democrat friends have totally fallen off the deep end.

I try to remind them of the time that Obama was President and we would have discussions on how I didn't like the way that Health Care was pushed through and his apologizing all over the world for how bad us Americans were.  They reminded me that he won the election and this is what the voters wanted. 

I would agree that he did indeed win and it is what it is. 

We could have conversations and debate the ideas and politics coming from the Federal Level.  That was the good old days.

Now they seem to have forgotten all of that. 

Trump won.  The American people spoke and he won the election.  This is how it is.

OH HELL NO!!!!  Not to the same Democrat friends.

Trump is the devil.  Trump supporters are the Devil.  America didn't want this.  We should impeach him.  He is corrupt. Blah Blah Blah.

Civility no longer exists with these friends.  They are right and if you disagree then you are a racist and part of the devil also.

I watch them lash out at other friends who disagree with them.  Watch them call life long friends racist.  Watch them demean longstanding friends. 

You can't even engage them in conversation about it.  They are right and everyone else is racist and the devil.

Rep. Gwen Moore has no clue

Rep. Gwen Moore again showed how she doesn't have a clue what is going on.  She just speaks the party line and really has no idea what she is talking about.  She is uninformed and doesn't seem to care about actually getting informed on the issues.

Following President Trump's pick for Supreme Court she had this to say -

JSOnline:

Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Milwaukee): "Unsurprised @realDonaldTrump picks radical inexperienced SCOTUS nominee that believes Trump’s above the law. Kavanaugh should not be confirmed under any circumstances."

 First of all, she shouldn't be surprised.  President Trump has had a list of people that he said he would pick from if a vacancy came open.  Kavanaugh was on that list, so no surprise there.

She then says Radical.  What does Radical even mean?  He doesn't change the laws, he decides cases based on the laws as they are written.  Not sure what she is trying to say here.

Next is inexperienced.  Well here is where she goes completely off the tracks.  Inexperience?  Really?

USA Today:

WASHINGTON — On paper, Brett Michael Kavanaugh may be the most qualified Supreme Court nominee in generations. 

Like Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Clarence Thomas, he has served on the second-most powerful court in the nation. Like Justices Anthony Kennedy, Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayor and Neil Gorsuch, he brings more than a decade's experience as a federal appeals court judge. And like Justice Elena Kagan, he has worked at the side of a two-term president.

  

But Kavanaugh's 12 years on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, combined with his Yale pedigree, Supreme Court clerkship under retiring Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy and top posts under President George W. Bush, give him a résumé the court's current justices can't match.

Guess Gwen Moore missed all those qualifications along the way.

Just another Representative who has no clue and thinks that being an obstructionist and bogging down our system is good for the American People.
