Does the Republican Party have the guts necessary to win the midterms?
In an election, as in a trial, the outcome depends less on a weighing up of all the issues and more on which issues the electorate focuses on. Succeed in getting the electorate to focus on the most positive achievement of one's own party, and on the most loathsome feature of the opposition, and coast to victory. Not necessarily in that order, and not necessarily of equal value.
As to President Trump's greatest accomplishment, the economy, economic growth, and the jobs figures lead the pack by a mile.
As to the loathsomeness of the Dems, their increasingly unhinged stands on immigration are equally clearly in first place.
Trump won the nomination and the presidency on the voters' belief that this guy, at last, was someone who meant what he said on immigration. He, and the Republican Party, can hold the House and the Senate if they focus the electorate's attention on the Dems' immigration lunacy, and then, secondarily, on the president's amazing economic results.
On immigration, the Dems' agenda has become a smorgasbord of electoral emetics that only needs to be served up to American voters to produce a collective gag that will be heard round the country.
I think back to Lee Atwater in 1988, who single-handedly turned the Bush campaign around with a masterful TV ad. Magnificent political advocacy, which drew attention away from Bush's deficiencies and redirected it to the odiousness of the Dems.
The same brass knuckles approach Atwater used beckons again, on the Dems' suicidal positions of abolishing ICE; open borders for criminals, terrorists, and drug-dealers; and sanctuary cities. All positions despised by 75% of the electorate.
America's now hard left party is locked into these positions, and they're not just the Dems' "fringe." See the California Dems' executive committee's endorsement of the lunatic Kevin de León over incumbent Dianne Feinstein. See New York senator Gillibrand's mandatory metamorphosis from moderate to open borders whacko.
This is who the Democratic Party is. The case must be made that a vote for any so-called "moderate Dem" is a vote for the party's destructive national agenda on immigration – an agenda despised by large majorities.
Atwater-like ads on all this stuff could open huge wounds on the electoral support for the Ds' "blue wave" dreams across the country.
Montages of tattooed MS-13 members, hordes of shrieking demonstrators waving "Abolish ICE" and "No Borders" placards come to mind. Superimposed on the determined face of the president who's been struggling to stop it all, stirring music in the background. The Dems' compulsive wrist-slitting on immigration presents limitless theatrical and communicative possibilities.
Not to forget the gift that gives and gives, leftist harridan-in-chief and all-around advocate of violence, Maxine Waters. But Waters is only the seasoning. The Dems' irresistible impulse to suicide on immigration is the main course.
Is the Republican Party working on this rich and diverse material now? If not, why not?
But: I'm haunted by, among other things, McCain's statement early in the 2008 race that Obama's associations (Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, and the rest) would be off limits. I knew then that he would lose big. And that he didn't deserve to win.
Will Bushie-McCain niceness prevail again, or this time, does the Republican Party want to win?
Will the Republican Party imprint the Dems' immigration madness on the forehead of every Democratic congressional and senatorial candidate? Have they learned anything from the president's 2016 triumph?
It's hard to see how a mixture of the amazing list of President Trump's economic accomplishments, achieved under the constant fire of hysterical abuse, together with unceasing blunt reminders of the Dems' suicidal immigration policies, could fail.
As ever with Republicans, whether this campaign approach unfolds is a question of insight, desire, and guts. I'm not sure the Republican Party has any of these, let alone all three.

VOTERS SO FUCKING MAD?
CITY JOURNAL
MYRON MAGNET
Haunting
this year’s presidential contest is the sense that the U.S. government no
longer belongs to the people and no longer represents them. And this uneasy
feeling is not misplaced. It reflects the real state of affairs.
We have lost
the government we learned about in civics class, with its democratic election
of representatives to do the voters’ will in framing laws, which the president
vows to execute faithfully, unless the Supreme Court rules them
unconstitutional. That small government of limited powers that the Founders
designed, hedged with checks and balances, hasn’t operated for a century. All
its parts still have their old names and appear to be carrying out their old
functions. But in fact, a new kind of
government has grown up inside the old structure, like those parasites hatched
in another organism that grow by eating up their host from within, until the
adult creature bursts out of the host’s carcass. This transformation is not an
evolution but a usurpation.
What has now
largely displaced the Founders’ government is what’s called the Administrative
State—a transformation premeditated by its main architect, Woodrow Wilson. The
thin-skinned, self-righteous college-professor president, who thought himself
enlightened far beyond the citizenry, dismissed the Declaration of
Independence’s inalienable rights as so much outmoded “nonsense,” and he
rejected the Founders’ clunky constitutional machinery as obsolete. (See “It’s
Not Your Founding Fathers’ Republic Any More,” Summer 2014.) What a
modern country needed, he said, was a “living constitution” that would keep
pace with the fast-changing times by continual, Darwinian adaptation, as he
called it, effected by federal courts acting as a permanent constitutional
convention.
Modernity, Wilson thought, demanded efficient
government by independent, nonpartisan, benevolent, hyper-educated experts,
applying the latest scientific, economic, and sociological knowledge to
industrial capitalism’s unprecedented problems, too complex for self-governing
free citizens to solve. Accordingly, he got Congress to create executive-branch
administrative agencies, such as the Federal Trade Commission, to do the job.
During the Great Depression, President Franklin Roosevelt proliferated such
agencies, from the National Labor Relations Board and the Federal Housing
Administration to the Federal Communications Commission and the Securities and
Exchange Commission, to put the New Deal into effect. Before they could do so,
though, FDR had to scare the Supreme Court into stretching the Constitution’s
Commerce Clause beyond recognition, putting the federal government in charge of
all economic activity, not just interstate transactions. He also had to
pressure the justices to allow Congress to delegate legislative power—which is,
in effect, what the lawmakers did by setting up agencies with the power to make
binding rules. The Constitution, of course, vests all legislative power in Congress, empowering it to make laws,
not to make legislators.
But the
Administrative State’s constitutional transgressions cut deeper still. If
Congress can’t delegate its legislative powers, it certainly can’t delegate judicial
powers, which the Constitution gives exclusively to the judiciary.
Nevertheless, after these administrative agencies make rules like a
legislature, they then exercise judicial authority like a court by prosecuting
violations of their edicts and inflicting real criminal penalties, such as
fines and cease-and-desist orders. As they perform all these functions, they
also violate the principle of the separation of powers, which lies at the heart
of our constitutional theory (senselessly curbing efficiency, Wilson thought),
as well as the due process of law, for they trample the citizen’s Fifth
Amendment right not to lose his property unless indicted by a grand jury and
tried by a jury of his peers, and they search a citizen or a company’s private
papers or premises, without bothering to get judge-issued subpoenas or search
warrants based on probable cause, flouting the Fourth Amendment. They can issue
waivers to their rules, so that the law is not the same for all citizens and
companies but is instead an instrument of arbitrary power. FDR himself ruefully
remarked that he had expanded a fourth branch of government that lacked
constitutional legitimacy. Not only does it reincarnate the arbitrary power of
the Stuarts’ tyrannical Star Chamber, but also it doesn’t even meet the minimal
conditions of liberty that Magna Carta set forth 801 years ago.
Adding insult
to injury, Wilson, his allies, and their current followers call themselves
“progressives,” a fatuous boast implying that they are the embodiments and chosen
instruments of the spirit of an ever-improving, irresistible future. In tune
with the German idealist philosophy that Wilson and his circle studied, they
claim to be marching toward an as-yet-unrealized goal of human perfection. But
that perfection, the German philosophers believed, would look something like
Prussia’s enlightened despotism. For Americans to think that it is progress to
move from the Founders’ revolutionary achievement—a nation of free citizens,
endowed with natural rights, living under laws that they themselves have made,
pursuing their own vision of happiness in their own way and free to develop as
fully as they can whatever talent or genius lies within them—to a regime in
which individuals derive such rights as they have from a government superior to
them is contemptible. How is a return to subjection an advance on freedom? No
lover of liberty should ever call such left-wing statism “progressive.” In
historical terms, this elevation of state power over individual freedom is not
even “liberal” but quite the reverse.
As these agencies have metastasized, they have
borne out not a single premise that justified their creation, and their
increasingly glaring failure has drawn citizens’ angry attention to them.
Expert? As a New Deal congressman immediately recognized with shock, many of
those who staffed the Administrative State were kids just out of law school,
with zero real-world experience or technical knowledge. Efficient? Can-do
America, which built the Empire State Building in 11 months and ramped up
airplane production during World War II from 2,000 in 1939 to nearly 100,000 in
1944, now takes years of bureaucratic EPA busywork to repair a bridge or lay a
pipeline, and who knows how many businesses never expand or even start because
the maze of government regulation is too daunting and costly to navigate? Only
last year, EPA “experts” fecklessly stood by as workers under their supervision
accidentally dumped 3 million gallons of toxic wastewater into the Colorado
River, and the agency vouchsafed not a word of warning to downstream Colorado
and New Mexico officials for an entire day before the poisonous,
fluorescent-orange flood hit them. Over at Veterans Affairs, those who’ve
fought for their country die in droves while waiting for medical care. But
what’s the problem? asks agency head Robert MacDonald blithely. After all,
at ever-popular Disneyland, “do they measure the number of hours you wait in
line?”
Non-political?
Ask Lois Lerner at the Internal Revenue Service. Oh wait: she pleaded the Fifth
Amendment—and her boss, John Koskinen, simply ignores Congress’s orders, even
as more than 2,000 of his enforcement agents have acquired military-grade
weaponry, among 200,000 of such administrative-agency officers now similarly
equipped with lethal arms, presumably for coercion of the citizens they
supposedly serve. Or there’s the Federal Elections Commission and the Federal
Communications Commission, lackeys of President Obama and his ultra-partisan
agenda.
Protecting citizens from industrial capitalism’s
giant corporations? Where were the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Federal Reserve, the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the Office of Federal
Housing Enterprise Oversight as the mortgage bubble blew up in 2008, nearly
taking the whole financial system with it and producing the worst economic bust
since the Great Depression, which even today has sunk the labor-force
participation rate and hiked the suicide rate among working-class men and women
to record levels? Moreover, from the establishment of the first administrative
agency—the Interstate Commerce Commission in 1887, essentially designed to
create shared railroad cartels—these agencies have been key instruments of
crony capitalism, which today often takes the form of senators and congressmen
pressuring agencies for rule changes or waivers to benefit their contributors,
usually at the expense of their competitors as well as the public, as the
author of the recent Confessions of Congressman X complains of his fellow legislative
“puppets.” Little wonder that today’s Americans think that such people don’t
represent them. Pollsters report that trust in government is at its lowest
level ever, with only 19 percent expecting government to do the right thing,
according to last year’s Gallup and Pew polls.
Ensuring the
citizens’ health and safety? Where is the Food and Drug Administration as
counterfeit medicines and medical supplies from China infiltrate our hospitals?
As for the infamously dysfunctional Transportation Security Administration, its
Keystone Kops’ regularly reported inability to spot journalists carrying banned
weapons onto airplanes, while they are too busy fondling travelers’ private
parts or undressing grannies, is a standing national joke—on us. We lost our
constitutional safeguards for this?
FDR spewed out his agencies in a “try anything”
spirit to cure a Depression that his predecessor’s misguided palliatives had
worsened, and debate still surges over whether the New Deal agencies did harm
or good, putting aside their doubtful legitimacy. But the majority of Americans
at the time gave the president credit for good intentions. By contrast, many voters give Barack Obama no such credit for
his analogous response to the Great Recession. They see it as a
cynically calculated ploy to extend government’s power over the people,
especially given the White House chief of staff’s crack that a president should
“never let a good crisis go to waste.” So on the pretext of addressing the
financial crisis, the administration partially socialized American medicine
with legislation that only Democrats voted for, without bothering to read it,
and that citizens who opposed the measure—still a solid majority of those
polled—saw as a kind of coup d’état, framed with utter irresponsibility and
ignoring the scary financial mess. As happened during the New Deal, a timid
Supreme Court found the act constitutional only by the politically driven
legerdemain frequent in that institution’s checkered history. It struck many as
flimflam, not government by consent.
The result was
a spectacular expansion of the Administrative State, with some 150 new agencies
and commissions created; no one knows the exact number. And these agencies
purposely removed the Administrative State even further from government by the
people. One agency, the Independent Payment Advisory Board—the so-called death
panel—is so democratically unaccountable that Congress can only abolish it by a
three-fifths vote in both houses within a seven-month period next year. After
that, the law bars Congress from altering any of the board’s edicts, a
provision as far from democratic self-government as you can get.
When the
administration finally confronted the financial crisis, lengthened by
Obamacare’s disincentives to hiring, its reflex response was to expand the
Administrative State still further with the Dodd-Frank Act, named for its two
legislative sponsors, both of whom had been in bed with the mortgage racket,
one figuratively and one literally. Whether it solved the problem is dubious.
What is certain is that it is as undemocratic as Obamacare, with its Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau, whose budget Congress can’t control, its Financial
Stability Oversight Council, whose rulings no court may review, and its army of
regulators occupying the big banks and squeezing multimillion-dollar penalties
out of CEOs clinging to their supersize compensation, regardless of what
happens to the stockholders. Meanwhile, the opaque Federal Housing Finance
Agency, formed during the crisis to salvage the misbegotten mortgage giants
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, seems bent on nationalizing permanently this
sizable chunk of the economy, putting the government in charge of citizens’
housing as well as their health care.
As for the
“stimulus” that was supposed to give a Keynesian boost to the economy: since
you can’t prove a negative, no one can show that if all that money had stayed
in the private economy, it would have created more jobs and economic growth
than the economically anemic Obama era has done. What unemployed or
underemployed workers saw, though, is that a good portion of stimulus money
went to protect the jobs of public employees, whose welfare evidently trumps
that of the citizens whom they supposedly serve. Coal miners saw that, even as
the administration aimed to kill their jobs, its stimulus shoveled out hundreds
of millions of dollars to now-defunct Solyndra and other nonviable,
crony-capitalist “green” energy companies, supposed solutions to a
global-warming crisis that many think a hoax, though some two dozen public
officials seem keen to suppress, Inquisition-style, the very utterance of that
thought. And voters noticed that America’s three highest-income counties are in
the Washington suburbs that house the federal government’s recession-proof
functionaries. (See “Hail Columbia!,”
Winter 2013.)
Unease over illegal immigration also has stoked today’s fear
that the government no longer belongs to the people, and it’s important to
understand the separate but mutually reinforcing ways that it has done so. Once
again, President Obama has made a bad situation worse—this time, by his
contemptuous refusal to execute the laws faithfully. His catch-and-release
policy for illegal border-crossers, as well as his ban on deporting young
aliens brought here by their illegal-immigrant parents, are imperial,
antidemocratic edicts that might have sparked impeachment proceedings, had not
Congress’s silly move to impeach Bill Clinton for lying about his sex games
with an intern tainted that weapon for years to come. The result of Obama’s
diktat, as contrary to the spirit of the Founders’ Constitution as is the
Administrative State, is that law-abiding taxpayers must pay for the kids’
welfare support, health care, and schooling—as they already do for “anchor
babies” born to mothers who have sneaked over the U.S. border for the purpose
of having a child eligible for “child-only” welfare benefits, scarcely less
than ordinary welfare payments and vastly more than the income of Central
American peasant families. No American voted to incur these costs, which, if
current trends continue, are likely to persist for several generations of such
families, so they amount to taxation without representation as naked as George
III’s.
As for the illegals who work, often for long
hours at low pay, off the books: because immigrants, 13 percent of the
population, hold 17 percent of the jobs—and no one knows the percentage of
workers who are here illegally—jobless working-class citizens have
understandably concluded that a lawless government, by countenancing such cheap
labor, is taking the bread out of their mouths. Should they eat cake instead?
America’s
highest-income counties are in the suburbs that house Washington’s
recession-proof functionaries.
What citizens
want to know is that, of all the world’s people who seek to live in America,
our government will admit those who come legally, whose families will not harm
us, and who will add to the wealth of the nation, not reap where they have not
sown. After all, public safety—not clean energy or national health care—is
government’s purpose. Nevertheless, Mexican criminals really
have infiltrated the country and really have killed Americans, inevitably,
under the administration’s anything-goes immigration stance. Further, it’s no comfort
to any American who has suffered loss from an Islamist terror attack within our
borders—from Ground Zero and Fort Hood to San Bernardino and Orlando—that such
incidents pose no threat to our existence as a nation, as the president has
said by way of reassurance, while refusing to call such outrages by their right
name. How many citizens would have to die in a dirty-bomb attack in Grand
Central Terminal for such events to strike him as a threat to the nation’s
existence?
The question
of providing a path to citizenship for the 12 million illegal aliens already
here is also germane to the debate about whom the U.S. government serves and to
whom it belongs. Talk radio’s Rush Limbaugh jokes that “illegal aliens” is a
politically incorrect term; we must say “undocumented Democrats” instead. But it’s a joke with a barb, for no one can doubt that these
12 million, if they could vote, would vote for the Democratic program of an
ever-larger, richly paid government extracting ever-larger transfer payments
from productive workers to the dependent poor—James Madison’s definition of the
tyranny of the majority in Federalist 10. With black poverty
and exclusion steadily ameliorating, thanks to decades of striving by
well-intentioned Americans of all races—even though Obama’s ex–attorney general
Eric Holder devoted his tenure to denying this plain
truth—the Democratic Party needs a new class of victims to justify its
“helping” agenda and its immense cadre of well-paid government “helpers.” Central
American peasants fill the bill.
Formerly, our
open economy drew the enterprising and energetic to these shores, and our lack
of a public safety net, with only private ethnic and religious charities to
help the unfortunate, meant that those who couldn’t contribute to the U.S.
economy went home. But today, when we have a
vast welfare state that didn’t exist during earlier waves of immigration, the
mothers of anchor babies come for handouts, and even the children of
hardworking legal Hispanic immigrants end up on the welfare rolls at
troublesomely high rates. In addition, our showering of self-proclaimed refugees with
welfare benefits, which attracts the shiftless rather than the enterprising,
only compounds the government-sustained dependency problem—dependency upon
taxpayers who didn’t choose this particular philanthropy.
The phalanx of privately supported settlement
houses and other institutions that met the great immigration wave around the
turn of the twentieth century, along with the public school system, aimed to
“Americanize” the new arrivals—teaching them our language, manners, and
customs, and especially our republican civic ethic. Culture, after all, is as
important an element of national identity as political institutions. To become
an American in those days meant little more than learning English and
subscribing to a broadly shared creed of self-reliance, self-government,
self-improvement, and allegiance to a tolerant nation that most people agreed
was unique in the freedom and opportunity it afforded—as well as in its
readiness to confer citizenship on newcomers who almost universally desired it.
But today’s legal Hispanic immigrants often don’t
apply for American citizenship, or retain dual nationalities: Americanization
often is not high on their agendas.
Moreover, our
new doctrine of multiculturalism gives today’s immigrants nothing to assimilate
to, since current intellectual fashion—set by the universities, Hollywood, and
the mainstream media—celebrates everything that makes us different rather than
the creed that once made one nation out of many individuals. And
multiculturalism’s accompanying creed of victimology encourages dependency
rather than self-reliance. Who are the victimizers of illegal Hispanic aliens?
According to today’s politically correct “progressivism,” it is the neocolonial
United States that has exploited the Third World’s natural resources, shored up
its ruling oligarchies, and subverted its incipient democratic governments. And
then it further victimizes them with racism when they try to escape to this
country.
Deference to
the greater wisdom of government, which Wilsonian progressivism deems a better
judge of what the era needs and what the people “really” want than the people
themselves, has been silently eroding our unique culture of enterprise,
self-reliance, enlightenment, and love of liberty for decades. But if we cease
to enshrine American exceptionalism at the heart of our culture—if we set equal
value on such Third World cultural tendencies as passive resignation, fatalism,
superstition, devaluation of learning, resentment of imaginary plots by the
powerful, and a belief that gratification deferred is gratification forgone—the
exceptionalism of our institutions becomes all the more precarious.
Supercharging
American anger over illegal immigration and its consequences is the politically
correct ban on openly discussing it, with even the most reasoned reservation
dismissed as racism and yahooism. And political correctness generates its own
quantum of anger among citizens, who think of freedom of speech and debate as
central to American exceptionalism. But elite culture stigmatizes plain
speaking, so that now a rapist or a murderer is a “person who committed a
crime” or an “individual who was incarcerated,” says the Obama Department of
Justice, or, according to the latest humbug from the Department of Education, a
“justice-involved individual.” Implicit in these euphemisms is the theory that
“society,” not the criminal, is to blame for crime, a long-exploded idea aimed at
blurring the distinction between right and wrong.
That’s what
makes it so disheartening to learn that the University of California has just
deemed it a politically incorrect offense to declare America a land of
opportunity, so as not to stigmatize those who’ve failed to seize it. It’s
disheartening not only because such a retreat from our traditional culture will
hold back immigrants, but also because our long cultural unraveling already has
damagingly demoralized the native-born working class in the face of economic
change. They dimly know that, and part of what makes them so angry is what they
have allowed themselves to become.
BARACK OBAMA, LA RAZA FASCISM and the CULTURE of DEM CORRUPTION
They Destroyed Our Country
“They knew Obama was an unqualified crook; yet they promoted him. They knew Obama was a train wreck waiting to happen; yet they made him president, to the great injury of America and the world. They understood he was only a figurehead, an egomaniac, and a liar; yet they made him king, doing great harm to our republic (perhaps irreparable.)”
'Incompetent' and 'liar' among most frequently used words to describe the president: Pew Research Center
Obama's Dying Vision: The Only Card in the Democratic Deck
As the Democratic Party continues to scrum ahead of the 2018 midterm elections – and ultimately the 2020 presidential election – Democrats of all stripes are eager to see who will be squeezed out of the pack and step up to articulate some kind of unified Progressive vision to challenge the Trump presidency.
Yet, even at this late date, Democrats appear rudderless and out of ideas – still clinging to their relentless intifada of resistance to shake off Donald Trump's occupation of the American government. As this approach hasn't proven to be an altogether winning strategy, recently, the DNC brain trust announced their intention to enlist the advice of Hollywood writers, directors, and producers to craft Tinseltown-style messaging in the hope of generating Democratic victories. Given the four-letter tirades of Robert De Niro, the vulgar tweets of Peter Fonda, the nightly broadsides of talk show hosts, and the rallying cries and rants of entertainment elites everywhere, the Hollywood message is loud and clear and can be reduced to two words: F--- you!
What Democrats don't seem to understand is that Hollywood is not a "messaging" apparatus, nor is parading Trump-hating celebrities into the spotlight a winning substitute for a clear enunciation of what the Democratic Party stands for and whom it represents. Let us not forget the bawdy conga line of Hollywood royalty who stepped up noisily during Hillary's 2016 campaign – and delivered nothing. Employing a "long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." approach to a TV political ad or get-out-the-vote appeal bereft of a lucid, straightforward liberal message is, as former Democratic Texas governor Ann Richards once remarked, like this: "you can put lipstick on a hog and call it Monique, but it is still a pig."
The truth is, the Democrats have no message. There is no vision. There is no agenda. There is no Democratic counter to "Make America Great Again." Nor is there a leader to voice such a vision and stamp it with his imprimatur if there were one.
And therein lies the rub. Who is the leader of the Democratic Party? Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, Perez, Ellison, Sanders, Clinton, Gillibrand, Feinstein, Warren, Durbin, Booker, Waters? This is a motley crew, to say the least, and hardly visionaries, and nary a one who has an electable, national cachet that can inspire transformative change.
Curiously, one name is absent: the Democrat who is the architect of the American anti-capitalist movement and the godfather of the ongoing anti-Trump resistance – former president Barack Obama.
Make no mistake: Barack Obama is still the supreme head of the Democratic Party, and his radical reconfiguring of America remains the sole Democratic vision: redistribution of wealth through vilification and increased taxation of the rich; control of America's production through executive orders and regulations; expansion of the welfare state through entitlements, identity politics, and social realignment; foreign policy through apology and appeasement; and economic equality through racial enmity and class conflict.
Since his college days and perhaps even before, Obama has doggedly sought to reconstruct America from an individual rights-based society where government is answerable to moral law to a left-wing, European-style social state where the individual and his achievements are subordinate to the collective good and the authority of government. According to Stanley Kurtz, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and author of Radical-in-Chief: Barack Obama and the Untold Story of American Socialism, "Obama has made concerted efforts to hide his socialist convictions from the voters who put him in office. Had the American public known the truth, Obama would never have risen to the U.S. Senate, much less the presidency. That sort of systematic deception corrodes democracy itself."
Or as Jonah Goldberg characterized it in the National Review after Obama's first term, "[t]he president thinks America would be better off if it was no longer America."
To achieve that end, what better fuel to run his collectivist engine than on America's greatest sin: racism? In speech after speech at home and abroad (so much for politics stopping at the water's edge); in Rose Garden press conferences with foreign dignitaries; even at the dais of the United Nations, President Obama rarely missed an opportunity to portray America as a place stained with bigotry, injustice, and discrimination. Along the way, he managed to slander and discredit virtually every institution in our society – the police system, the criminal justice system, the educational system, the economic system, the judicial system, the corporate system, not to mention racist malignancies in employment, opportunity, housing, entertainment, sports...even the words we use.
As a result, the Obama Vision has wrought an America deeply fractured along political and racial lines with a measure of animus not seen since the 1950s – an America where racial and ethnic identity are the primary elements to an individual's self-worth and sense of himself. In the process, Obama has systematically institutionalized the concept of white racism as a felony, while black or other "colored" forms of racism are declarations of cultural pride and legitimate responses to oppression – which whites can never understand and aren't truly racist because minorities lack political power.
As reported by Politico, in an attempt to reconstitute his vision from the devastating Clinton defeat, as far back as early last year, Obama has been conducting secret one-on-one meetings in his D.C. office in the World Wildlife Fund building – holding court with Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, Deval Patrick, Chris Coons, Eric Holder, Harry Reid, et. al. Even lesser lights like Pete Buttigieg, South Bend, Indiana mayor; Jason Kander, 2016 Missouri Senate candidate (lost); Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti; and former New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu have all sat at Obama's knee and sought counsel.
But the sad truth is that Obama's unfulfilled strategy of "fundamentally transforming the United States of America" along racial and collectivist lines is in free fall and has engendered the current ugly Democratic lurch to the far left – where every slight, every hurt, every grief, every rainy day elicits cries of "racist" and "Nazi" and is a call for a national dialogue, a special counsel, or an independent investigation.
Given this trajectory and with no unifying Democratic leader on the horizon with a developed political agenda, President Donald Trump will continue to dismantle the Obama Vision like Hal the Computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey – and Democrats will soon find themselves singing "Daisy" all the way to the mid-terms and beyond.

Now the outlines of a Watergate-like conspiracy are emerging in which a sitting Democrat president apparently used the apparatus of the state to spy on a Republican presidential candidate. Watergate differed in that President Nixon didn’t get involved in the plot against the Democratic National Committee until later as an accomplice after the fact. Here Obama likely masterminded or oversaw someone like the diabolical Benghazi cover-up artist Ben Rhodes, masterminding the whole thing.

BANKSTERS’ RENT BOY ERIC HOLDER DECLARES THAT OBAMA IS
(still) “READY TO ROLL” FOR A THIRD TERM FOR LIFE!

“Obama’s new home in Washington has been described as the “nerve center” of the anti-Trump opposition. Former attorney general Eric Holder has said that Obama is “ready to roll” and has aligned himself with the “resistance.” Former high-level Obama campaign staffers now work with a variety of groups organizing direct action against Trump’s initiatives. “Resistance School,” for example, features lectures by former campaign executive Sara El-Amine, author of the Obama Organizing.”

Eric Holder Hints at Possible 2020 Presidential Bid
On Monday night, Former Attorney General Eric Holder toldStephen Colbert that he would decide whether to run for president “sometime early next year.”
Colbert questioned Holder regarding journalist April Ryan’s tweet that sources close to him said he was “seriously considering” running for President of the United States in 2020, to the applause of the studio audience.
“Were you just taking the temperature of America just now?” Colbert asked as the applause died down. “I was just looking to see potential contributors, you know. And cabinet members,” Holder replied.
“I’m thinking about it and what I’ve said is that I’d make a determination sometime early next year,” Holder elaborated. “My focus, really, now is on 2018, the midterms and trying to make sure that Democrats take back the Senate, take back the House, and that we do well, importantly, at the state level.”
But even as 2020 looms, Holder is focused on the 2018 midterms. He leads the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, a self-described “hub for executing a comprehensive redistricting strategy that shifts the redistricting power, creating fair districts where Democrats can compete.”
Of course, this would not be the former attorney general’s first time in the spotlight. In 2012, Holder was found in contempt of Congress by a 255-67 majority for his failure to turn over documents directly related to the “Fast and Furious” gun-running scandal. He has recently been a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, calling the Helsinki meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin “collusion in plain sight.”

After eight years of the Dodd-Frank bank “reform,” the American financial oligarchy exercises its dictatorship over society and the government more firmly than ever. This unaccountable elite will not tolerate even the most minimal limits on its ability to plunder the economy for its own personal gain.

This was not because of difficulties in securing indictments or convictions. On the contrary, Attorney General Eric Holder told a Senate committee in March of 2013 that the Obama administration chose not to prosecute the big banks or their CEOs because to do so might “have a negative impact on the national economy.”

YOU WONDERED WHY OBAMA-HOLDER WORKED SO HARD TO SABOTAGE AMERICAN VOTING FOR MORE ILLEGALS???
Those are the subliterate, low-skill, non-English-speaking indigents whose own societies are unable or unwilling to usefully educate and employ them. Bring these people here and they not only need a lot of services, they are putty in the hands of leftist demogogues as Hugo Chavez demonstrated - and they are very useful as leftist voters who will support the Soros agenda.

OBAMA, TREASONOUS TRAITOR
July 16, 2018
In the media's frantic downhill race to out-rage each other over Trump, there's no bottom. Charles M. Blow, the Cory Booker of media columnists, desperately tried to justify his job with this ridiculous column aimed right at the nerve center of the resistance's id.
Its subtle title is, "Trump, Treasonous Traitor".
That's like a parody of a column like this. In it, Blow declares, "Whether or not Trump himself or anyone in his orbit personally colluded or conspired with the Russians about their interference is something Mueller will no doubt disclose at some point, but there remains one incontrovertible truth: In 2016, Russia, a hostile foreign adversary, attacked the United States of America."
"Trump should be directing all resources at his disposal to punish Russia for the attacks and prevent future ones. But he is not. America’s commander wants to be chummy with the enemy who committed the crime. Trump is more concerned with protecting his presidency and validating his election than he is in protecting this country."This is an incredible, unprecedented moment. America is being betrayed by its own president. America is under attack and its president absolutely refuses to defend it."Simply put, Trump is a traitor and may well be treasonous."
Remember when the New York Times wasn't a complete joke? Still is this what the left wants as the new metric?
It's incontrovertible that Islamic terrorists attacked America, but Obama insisted on being chummy with Iran, the Taliban and the Muslim Brotherhood: all of whom had plenty of American blood on their hands.
"This is an incredible, unprecedented moment. America is being betrayed by its own president. America is under attack and its president absolutely refuses to defend it."Simply put, Obama is a traitor and may well be treasonous."

OP, Rep. Yoder, Vote to Give More Cheap Visa-Workers to Farm Companies
The GOP-run House appropriations committee has voted to expand the seasonal H-2A program so farm companies can import year-round visa workers for a wider variety of agricultural jobs.
If made law, a year-round supply of H-2A visa workers would allow farm companies to hire cheap migrants instead of the many Americans who want to build and operate labor-saving machinery in fruit orchards, dairy barns, and the new “vertical farms” which grow fresh products in urban warehouses for local customers.
The higher inflow of cheap visa-workers — and the displaced, unemployed Americans — will also reduce nationwide pressure on employers to offer higher wages to blue-collar Americans in a wide variety of jobs nationwide.
The H-2A plan was pushed by GOP Rep. Dan Newhouse — who is a farmer in Washington state — and also by Kansas GOP Rep. Kevin Yoder, the new chairman of the homeland defense panel at the appropriations committee.
“Large segments of agriculture truly face a critical lack of employees,” Newhouse told the committee’s markup meeting. By expanding the H-2A visa-worker program to include year-round farmers and dairy businesses, “all of agriculture may use the H-2A program so it is truly our nation’s agriculture guest-worker program,” said Newhouse.
“I rise in support of the amendment,” responded Yoder. “I appreciate him bring this amendment before the committee … [it] reflects the realities of our agricultural operations today.”
The H-2A expansion is part of the 2019 appropriations bill. The bill can be revised by the House Committee on Rules, but it is expected to pass the House and then be merged with the Senate’s funding bill late in the year.
Yoder faces a tough election in the Fall, and is presenting himself as a non-partisan compromiser. During the appropriations process, he also supported other amendments to expand the H-2B visa-workers program up to almost 200,000 workers and to block the Department of Justice’s effort to end the catch-and-release of migrants at the Texas border.
The H-2A amendment was also supported by GOP Rep. David Valadao, who until recently owned a dairy farm in a district with a huge number of dairy farms. Valadao was one of the several dairy-district Representatives who worked with Newhouse to sign a pro-amnesty discharge petition in May.
GOP leaders shut down the discharge-petition process, partly by promising to schedule a vote on a draft bill which would create an even bigger and cheaper visa-worker program for farmers, dubbed the H-2C program.
But opposition from Democrats, voters and some GOP legislators has stopped the proposed H-2C program, prompting farmers to push for an H-2A expansion.
The H-2A is the government’s fastest-growing visa-worker program. It brought in 100,000 seasonal workers in 2013 and is on track to reach 250,000 workers in 2018. There is no cap to the H-2A program, but farm companies complain they must pay above-minimum wages for at least 75 percent of the contracted time, plus provide free accommodation and transport to the foreign workers.
Also, farm companies cannot use the H-2A program for year-round work, such as milking cows and growing mushrooms, or staffing the growing number of urban greenhouse“vertical farms.”
Even without the year-round expansion, the H-2A program is now much bigger than the H-2B program which brings in around 80,000 manual laborers each year. It is approaching the size of the H-1B white-collar program which keeps a population of at least 450,000 foreign graduates in U.S. jobs.
Amid the bar against year-round work, more farmers are using the H-2A program for seasonal work because fewer Mexicans want to work as illegals on Americans’ farms. Instead, many Mexicans prefer to work for Mexican farm companies that export a growing wave of products to the United States.
Also, President Donald Trump has cut the inflow of refugees, sharply reducing that source or cheap workers to the agriculture and meatpacking sectors.
Also, many long-resident illegals gradually gain legal status and then migrate into U.S. towns and cities. That process leaves farmers with fewer workers down on the farm. An article in one business publication said the H-2A program:
it is the only game in town that will deliver legal workers that growers can count on to come motivated to work and stay on their farms for the allotted amount of time specified by the visa…
Enforcement actions by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency are up, putting growers on edge. Construction, especially in Florida, is booming and drawing people away from agriculture jobs. Fewer workers from Mexico are crossing the border seeking work.
In June, Idaho dairy farmer Pete Wiersma told Politico:
We’ve really noticed a drop-off in [job] applicants. Several years ago, you’d have several a week applying for work, and now you might get one a month, maybe.
The remaining population of perhaps 1 million illegal-immigrant workers is demanding — and getting — higher wages even as milk prices remain at painfully low levels for farmers. “I personally have all the workers I need,” Wiersma said, but:
We have had to increase wages. I know other dairymen have too …You almost end up almost robbing your neighbor to get your cows milked and that doesn’t make for that great of neighborly relations. It not really overt but it is what kind of happens, and the employees know it and those who are looking for a little bit better paycheck or little bit different situation will go — while they are working for you – they’ll go up the street and check around and see what the availability is, and so we’re almost scavaging workers from each other. It is not real bad yet, but if our labor pool dries up, it could get a lot worse.
The rising wages have proved so shocking that farm companies are even buying labor-saving machinery, including robotic-cow milkers built by Americans in Pella, Iowa. Wiersma said:
Automation is starting to really play in because of this issue. I know there is a lot of interest in milking robots … it is a milking station that the cow goes to itself and the milking unit is attached to the cows and she is milked that way… It is quite a radical way from how things have been done, but yes, the potential lack of workforce has really upped the interest in robotic milking and technology in general.
But to avert rising wages and unwanted investments costs in a tough market, Wiersma prefers to cut his costs by hiring more cheap guest-workers:
We really need a system of legal migrant workers to help us in agriculture. It is really the only thing that is going to matter to us. There needs to be a legal, sensible, reasonable system to allow migrant workers to come in and work, and not seasonable like the field workers. Dairy work is year-round and there is no program to supply us with year-round workers.
Farm companies have not asked Congress for a research or lending programs to help them buy labor-saving machines.
The visa programs should be phased out in favor of labor-saving technology, says Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies. He continued:
Whatever [numerical] cap lawmakers promise on a work-visa program is always going to go up … because as soon as some employer starts using it, the other employers need to use it to stay competitive… Once a significant number of players in an industry have this cheap, controllable foreign labor, everybody has to get it for [the program] to be fair — or the ones who don’t have it are going out of business.
But that phase-out is politically difficult. House Speaker Paul Ryan has long been a strong advocate for cheap labor instead of labor-saving machinery. In a 2016 interview with theAtlantic, Ryan called for more migrants for his home-state dairy industry:
What I’ve always believed is that you need to retool the legal system so that it fits the economy’s needs … transition our legal [immigration] system so that visas are given to what are needed for the economy. Do we have a shortage of dairy workers in western Wisconsin? Yes, we do.
ONE-THIRD OF ALL IMPORTED FARM WORKERS END UP ON WELFARE
CALIFORNIA: AMERICA’S FIRST MEX WELFARE STATE…. 49 more to go…. but nearly there!

"Over the past decade, the traditional base of the Republican party — homeowners and small business owners — has been migrating to states with lower taxes and fewer regulations. Meanwhile, California continues to attract immigrants — both legal and illegal — as well as a disproportionate share of the state’s welfare recipients."
GOP and Democrats Triple H-2B Visa-Workers to Almost 200,000
The GOP-run House appropriations committee voted to help business owners on Wednesday by tripling the resident population of wage-cutting H-2B workers to almost 200,000.
The H-2B visa-worker program imports roughly 66,000 seasonal workers each year, allowing seasonal companies to lower wages for American seasonal workers and for year-round staff and supervisors.
The new amendment will allow CEOs to hire H-2B workers from the two prior years without counting them under the 66,000 annual cap. That legal trick will give CEOs a population of up to 198,000 H-2B workers to help lower wages for a larger number of Americans — even though wages are climbing very slowly in the current good economy, and many younger Americans are far worse off than their parents.
The proposed H-2B population is huge — it is roughly equal to the number of new jobs added in a good month.
“The cheap-labor lobby never sleeps,” said Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “The only solution is the elimination of the [H-2B] category.”
The measure was touted as a boost for company executives by Kansas Rep. Kevin Yoder, who chairs the homeland defense panel of the appropriations committee. “As our economy grows, we’re going to need workers to continue to provide a role … I support the amendment,” said Yoder, who also used the amendment process to promote easier asylum rules for Central Americans and easier migration for Indian and Chinese foreign technology workers.
The existing cap of 66,000 is too low for business owners, Yoder said, adding, “what we have now creates a lot of uncertainty, it cripples industries … You may be totally left out and be unable to find the workers you need to continue your business.”
Cooperating Democrats echoed Yoder’s description of the program as an aid for CEOs, not employees. “It is a business issue … It is now up to us to give our businesses what they need,” said Maine Democrat Rep. Chellie Pingree.
The H-2B program lowers salaries for Americans because it exempts CEOs from the normal need to compete for workers in the free labor market. Instead of bidding for workers with higher wages and benefits, or else buying American-built labor-saving machinery, the program allows CEOs to import seasonal workers from Jamaica, Mexico, and many other countries at lower wages than needed to hire Americans.
The program is widely used by urban landscapers, ski resorts, and coastal resorts but is also used by the government’s forestry contractors to avoid hiring the Americans who live in rural districts.
The amendment was drafted by Maryland GOP Rep. Andrew Harris, whose district includes a picturesque crab-picking industry that has changed very little in 140 years. The industry still relies on lower-wage women workers to carefully pick crab-meat from crabs, but it is vital to his district because it anchors a tourist industry of hotels, restaurants, home-maintenance workers and crab boats.

“This is not about immigration – it is about temporary workers,” said Harris.
Despite the crab pickers’ importance to Maryland, the local CEOs and the state government do not cooperate to offer any funds to help hire Americans in place of the foreign H-2B workers.
Harris’ measure would also change the allocation system so that the incoming H-2B workers would be shared among a wider variety of companies, instead of being awarded to lucky companies via a lottery.
However, the reform does nothing to allocate H-2B visas to companies which offer the higher salaries, or to the companies which can show the greatest shortage of U.S. workers, such as the high-risk shrimp-fishing industry in the Gulf of Mexico.
AMERICA: NO LEGAL NEED APPLY!
“The percentage of foreign-born workers in the U.S. labor force has more than tripled over the last four decades and while the U.S. represents just 5 percent of the world’s population it attracts 20 percent of the world’s immigrants, according to a new report.”
Open the floodgates of our welfare state to the uneducated, impoverished, and unskilled masses of the world and in a generation or three America, as we know it, will be gone.
Those most impacted are middle class and lower middle class. It is they whose jobs are taken, whose raises are postponed, whose schools are filled with non-English speaking children that absorb precious resources for remedial English, whose public parks are trashed and whose emergency rooms serve as the local clinic for the illegal underground.
“Currently, the U.S. admits more than 1.5 million legal and illegal immigrants every year, with more than 70 percent coming to the country through the process known as “chain migration” whereby newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of relatives to the U.S. In the next 20 years, the current U.S. legal immigration system is on track to import 15 million new foreign-born voters. Between 7 and 8 million of those foreign-born voters will arrive in the U.S. through chain migration.” JOHN BINDER
