WILL THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IMPLODE BEFORE THEY DESTROY AMERICA?




The Tenuous Future of the Democratic Party

We’ve now witnessed seven Democratic debates ahead of the Iowa Caucus this February. At this point, it’s clear that Biden, Sanders, and Warren have a legitimate shot at becoming the nominee, whereas the rest will likely go home after the first few primaries. These frontrunners are now the subject of a growing dilemma that’s undermining party unity and raising questions about its future vision.
Four years ago, the Republican Party had to grapple with the rise of Trump, who undermined Republican orthodoxy whenever it suited him. Democrats enjoyed watching Trump make a mockery of his fellow candidates and the entire primary process as he split the Party and severed the head of the Republican establishment. Little did they know that Trump, whom they didn’t consider a serious candidate, could galvanize enough popular support to actually become president and remake the Republican Party altogether.
Currently, Democrats are facing a similar dilemma. The leading candidates have very different visions for the Party and for the country. It remains unclear whether or not unity can exist between the (comparatively) moderate establishment faction of the Party, represented by Biden, and the radical anti-establishment faction, represented by Sanders and Warren.
Hillary’s shocking defeat in 2016 gave the populist movement on both sides of the aisle momentum to last a generation. Trump’s presidency will leave its mark on Republican politics just as Reagan’s presidency did 30 years ago with the revitalization of Goldwater conservatism and an America-first foreign policy. The same can be said for Democratic politics, as Sanders and Warren are claiming to fight for the American worker over the greed of the corporate elite.
However, unlike with Trump in 2016, there’s no clear frontrunner behind whom voters can rally. Biden has proven to be too mistake-prone to gain a significant polling edge; Sanders hasn’t proven from his 2016 bid that he can rally enough support among African Americans and Evangelicals in the Deep South; and it’s unclear how Warren’s personality and charisma will be received by the electorate.
Another, more immediate problem looms over Democratic candidates as they try to oust Trump in November: Trump’s impeachment trial. From watching the primary debates, it’s clear that impeachment is the elephant in the room that the candidates want to avoid. The reason for this is simple: each candidate feels that he/she has something unique to offer and wants his/her ideas and platforms to shine through the shadow of a messy, highly politicized impeachment trial that isn’t popular with independents.
Jumping on the impeachment bandwagon not only makes the candidates look opportunistic and, ironically, undemocratic but also fuels the narrative that Democrats are running primarily on an anti-Trump platform, which, as evidenced by Hillary’s campaign, is an optic that isn’t likely to get out the vote. As such, handing out 30 engraved souvenir pens with Pelosi’s name on them at a joyous impeachment ceremony served only to strengthen the narrative that Trump’s impeachment is merely a Democratic ploy to overturn the results of the 2016 election.
So far, the winning party in this fight is President Trump, who can sit back and watch a bumbling impeachment trial unfold while Democratic candidates vie for supremacy on the debate stage. Moreover, Trump can rejoice over the fact that Democrats have not learned from their mistake of gambling all their chips on a Mueller investigation that failed to uncover the treasonous evidence they hoped would sink the President.
All of this amounts to a Democratic Party with an uncertain future. The problem is threefold: Democrats can’t agree on a unified vision for the future of their party, they can’t formulate a coherent strategy to defeat Trump at the ballot box, and House members went all-in on an impeachment that isn't likely to survive past the Senate trial.
On the other hand, who can blame them? Democrats know all too well that a second term for Trump will allow him to double-down on his platform, which, at least for now, is presiding over a healthy and robust economy. Trump’s reelection would ensure that hard-fought Democratic initiatives, such as nationalized healthcare, gun control, and a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, would be shelved and set back for another four years.
Perhaps most importantly, Democrats realize that a two-term Trump would likely have the opportunity to appoint a third and maybe even a fourth judge to the Supreme Court, which would ensure a conservative interpretation of the Constitution for decades to come. Therefore, in the eyes of Democrats, it’s easy to see why desperate times call for desperate measures.
However, if Democrats cannot unify around a single vision and mount a campaign against Trump issue by issue, they will again fall prey to the event about which they were in denial in 2016 - another victory for Trump at the ballot box.


Schweizer: Warren, Klobuchar Have ‘Cashed in’ from Corruption


 21 Jan 202023
2:10
Author Peter Schweizer on Tuesday’s “Fox & Friends” discussed his new book, Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite, which offers a look into some of the shady dealings of the United States’ political leaders.
After detailing the corruption seen among former Vice President Joe Biden and his family, Schweizer described how his fellow 2020 Democratic presidential candidates Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) had “cashed in” from corruption.
Schweizer said there is a “three-layer cake of corruption” with Warren.
“[Warren] was actually a government consultant paid by the U.S. Congress in the 1990s to rewrite our bankruptcy laws,” Schweizer outlined. “OK, that’s all fine and good, but she did the typical Washington crony move: She cashed in. After she rewrote those laws, what did she do? She went to the corporations who would benefit from the law and said, ‘Hire me, and I will help you interpret the law that I myself wrote.’ And she made millions of dollars doing that.”
He continued, “She’s also got a daughter who set up a business. She was setting up that business while Elizabeth Warren was head of the TARP Oversight Committee, and what ends up happening is the daughter gets her business financed and gets advisors from the very investment banks that Elizabeth Warren’s TARP Committee was bailing out.”
Schweizer said Klobuchar has “mastered the art of shaking down contributors and then pushing their legislation.”
He stated, “[Klobuchar] was a prosecutor before she was a U.S. Senator — very selective, did not go after people that were donors of hers, who were clearly engaged in corruption. And as a U.S. Senator, she has mastered the art of shaking down contributors and then pushing their legislation. There are instances where dozens of executives from a corporation over a three-day period will give her the donation, and then literally a few days later, she introduces legislation on their behalf.”

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.)”

Corruption blinders of the media and other Democrats

Most journalists and Democrats didn’t express any concerns when:
  • VP Biden threatened (promised) Ukraine that he would cut off a billion dollars in aid to them if they didn't fire the prosecutor investigating a company his son was involved with.
  • Hunter Biden got paid $50,000 a month as a board member of a corrupt Ukrainian gas company when he had no expertise on the product of the company.
  • Obama promised the very dangerous Russia and Putin that he would be flexible if he was reelected (somehow no one at FBI or elsewhere was ever concerned that Russia may have tried to influence the 2012 election to elect the flexible president.)
  • Hillary, Obama and many others violated the nation's security laws by using her non-government computer.
  • Obama gave kickbacks to union supporters when he violated the nation's bankruptcy law with the bailout of GM.
  • Obama used taxpayer dollars to reward political supporters like at Solyndra.
  • Hillary, through her family and foundation, got huge amounts of speech money and donations from foreign countries. Russia, for example, got Uranium for their generosity. (If there is any doubt about whether they were kickbacks, that should have disappeared when the donations dried up and speech fees dropped or dried up when she no longer could return favors)
  • Obama shipped over $1 billion in taxpayer money in unmarked bills, to Iran tyrants, who still pledge death to America, to get a deal.
  • Obama dictatorially stopped a years’ long investigation into a billion dollar a year drug running ring by terrorists to appease Iranian tyrants because he was more concerned about his legacy than the safety, health and lives of the American people. 
  • Hillary and the DNC paying over $10 billion to buy a fake dossier from a foreign national to destroy Trump. It appears they didn't think they could beat him based on the truth or their policy proposals. 
  • Obama and his administration, including the FBI, Justice Department, the intelligence agencies and the State Department, using the fake dossier as a source for FISA warrants and to infiltrate the Trump campaign with informants. (they obviously didn't believe their record or policies would win the votes). Instead of the media and other Democrats caring about this pure corruption they have participated in perpetuating the lies about Russian collusion for over three years.
  • The Obama Administration, at the Justice Department, EPA and CFPB using taxpayer money for political purposes and political supporters by creating slush funds from money confiscated from businesses that they pretended would go to victims. 
If the media and Democrats want to investigate anything, how about a possible corrupt payback from Netflix to Obama? Obama gave the very wealthy Netlfix, Google and others huge financial benefits with net neutrality and Netflix gave the Obama's a huge contract even though they had no video production expertise or experience. It is similar to paying Biden's son huge amounts of money with no expertise. 
But now when President Trump may have said something to a foreign leader about investigating corruption by Biden's son, that is supposed to be an impeachable offense. Shouldn't a President want political corruption by politicians to be investigated? Shouldn't the media and other Democrats be more concerned about the corruption itself than the phone call?
From this story, it appears that the media and other Democrats believe that every phone call that Trump makes to a foreign leader should become public knowledge if any bureaucrat makes a whistle blower report when they disagree with something the president does. That would certainly be cumbersome, and foreign leaders would no longer want to have discussions if every discussion could be made public. 
Elizabeth Warren says she wants to get rid of corruption but not once have I heard her complain about the massive corruption during the Obama years or at her precious CFPB, so she really doesn't care. 
Isn't it odd that no bureaucrats seemed to care about the corruption of Obama/Biden?  It shows why we need to drain the swamp.
GRIFTER AND PHONY CHARITY FOUNDATION FRAUDSTER HILLARY CLINTON’S LONG SERVICE TO AMERICA’S MOST EVIL BANKSTERS


The judge found these releases, together with the publication of Clinton’s secret speeches to Wall Street banks, in which she pledged to be their representative, were “matters of the highest public concern.” They “allowed the American electorate to look behind the curtain of one of the two major political parties in the United States during a presidential election.”

“Clinton also failed to mention how he and Hillary cashed in after his presidential tenure to make themselves multimillionaires, in part by taking tens of millions in speaking fees from Wall Street bankers.”

The new aristocrats, like the lords of old, are not bound by the laws that apply to the lower orders. Voluminous reports have been issued by Congress and government panels documenting systematic fraud and law breaking carried out by the biggest banks both before and after the Wall Street crash of 2008.

Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and every other major US bank have been implicated in a web of scandals, including the sale of toxic mortgage securities on false pretenses, the rigging of international interest rates and global foreign exchange markets, the laundering of Mexican drug money, accounting fraud and lying to bank regulators, illegally foreclosing on the homes of delinquent borrowers, credit card fraud, illegal debt-collection practices, rigging of energy markets, and complicity in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme.

Is it a signal that she's back in the game because she's selling her president-ability to the world's global billionaire crowd and laying the groundwork for more funds?  There are all kinds of ways for foreign billionaires to get money to the U.S. without consequences, after all.  What's more, it's pretty much the biggest base of support she has, which is at least one reason why she lost the 2016 election.

machine that might well be dubbed “Clinton, Inc.” This consists essentially of
a seedy money-laundering operation to ensure big business support for the
Clintons’ political ambitions as well as their personal fortunes.

The basic components of the operation are lavishly paid speeches to Wall Street and Fortune 500 audiences, corporate campaign contributions, and donations to the ostensibly philanthropic Clinton Foundation.”

"But what the Clintons do is criminal because they do it wholly at the expense of the American people. And they feel thoroughly entitled to do it: gain power, use it to enrich themselves and their friends. They are amoral, immoral, and venal. Hillary has no core beliefs beyond power and money. That should be clear to every person on the planet by now."  ----  Patricia McCarthy - AMERICANTHINKER.com

Democrats as a protection racket? Ed Buck makes it a trifecta

 

The New York Times has been trying to dismiss the arrest of Ed Buck, a Democratic fatcat who had a thing for injecting young black men with drugs before paying them for sex, as a "small-time Democratic donor," but the facts on the ground suggest he was a rather big one. And maybe that's a function of the paper's desire to protect its masters, the Democrats. They aren't known as Democratic operatives with bylines for nothing.
Fox Business has a rundown:
While Buck once identified himself as a conservative Republican, according to the Los Angeles Times, he became a national figure when he spearheaded the effort to impeach Arizona’s Republican Gov. Evan Mecham in the 1980s. He later made large donations to Democrats, including more than $500,000 since 2007, according to court documents filed by Moore's mother in a wrongful death suit pertaining to her son.
At the federal level, those include contributions to prominent Washington lawmakers as well as 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. At the local level, Buck has donated more than $51,000 to Los Angeles city and county officials, candidates, and affiliated parties dating to 2008.
In 2012, Buck contributed $100 to the campaign for Jackie Lacey for Los Angeles County District Attorney, and four years later, gave $1,400 to Eric Garcetti for Mayor of Los Angeles. Both Lacey and Garcetti still hold their titles.
The highest contribution was $13,000, according to the court papers, to former West Hollywood Mayor John Duran when he ran for county supervisor in 2014.
That doesn't sound too small-time to me.
And in fact, his ideological switcheroo sounds as though he found the Democrats a more suitable protection racket for his perversions than the Republicans. Who needs political beliefs when the real belief is perversion and that's what he needs protected?
It's actually part of the pattern with these scandals. Pervert with big vices donates cash to Democrats to ensure his protection from the cops. Harvey Weinstein knew it, that was what his Planned Parenthood and other woke cause donations bought for him - a capacity to prey on young actresses trying to win roles. Jeffrey Epstein knew it too, donating to leftist Bill Clinton causes in order to buy enough influence to enable him to prey on underage girls with impunity, spiriting them to his pervert island for himself along with his highly connected Democrat buddies. Both had added payoffs in that Weinstein then had the power to threaten actresses and reporters who threatened to tell on him, while Epstein had blackmail material on very powerful people which kept them on his string.
Now we have the sorry case of Ed Buck, a creep who enjoyed paying for sex with young black men while poisoning them with drugs, and then relying on his political donations to ensure the cops looked the other way. Note that quite a few of his donations were to Los Angeles local officials, all of them Democrats. Assuming this tweet's images are not manipulated, look at the range of Buck's Democrats:



https://abc7.com/democratic-donor-ed-buck-arrested-on-drug-charges/5547905/  Democratic donor Ed Buck arrested on drug charges after new overdose at his West Hollywood home! @realDonaldTrump @POTUS @SenSchumer @tedlieu @HillaryClinton @CBSThisMorning @GayleKing I see 3 dead people killed by Ed Buck ... WTF? @FBI @LAPDWestLA

Democratic donor Ed Buck arrested on drug charges after new overdose at his West Hollywood home



A THIRD death in this guy's house. WTF!? Ed Buck donated money to Chuck Schumer, Ted Lieu, & Hillary Clinton... was given a free pass / no repercussions after the first two black guys died (18 months apart) from drug fueled speed & poppers homosexual parties.. @CBSNews


Combine it with media malfeasance - the mainstream media tried to turn down Ronan Farrow's report on Weinstein, it tried to pin the Epstein scandal on President Trump, and now it's trying to persuade us that Buck was just small fry, and the protection racket seems complete.
With so many of these perverts turning up in the Democrat donor base as well as organizations such as Planned Parenthood, one wonders if these are the only ones out there. Is the Democratic Party held together in no small part by freaks using politics as their 'vaccination' from scrutiny? Are their perversions and the need to protect them at the root of why these groups are so powerful and Democrats are so extreme and inflexible on issues such as abortion? Might that be why they're so out of step with even the Democratic voting public? And why are the Democrats the more hospitable party for such a sorry scenario? Why are they the party of perverts? It actually isn't just these three, it's quite a few of them as I noted here. A lot of such characters have turned up in a very, very short time and the pattern is exactly the same for each. How many more are there? What does Ted Lieu, Adam Schiff, Hillary Clinton and other Democrats who've benefited from Buck's bucks have to say about this? And why aren't all of the Democrats confronting this?

IN THE November 2006 election, the voters demanded congressional ethics reform. And so, the newly appointed chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., is now duly in charge of regulating the ethical behavior of her colleagues. But for many years, Feinstein has been beset by her own ethical conflict of interest, say congressional ethics experts.

These people were engaged in a massive political conspiracy.

Democrats Have Become a Disfigured Reflection of the Party They Once Were

In an amazingly prophetic story by Isaac Bashevis Singer entitled "The Gentleman from Cracow," about life in the village of Frampol, where "the food was scarce and the water foul," one day, a young man, a doctor, arrives in a carriage drawn by eight horses.  He tells the villagers that his wife and baby have just died in childbirth, and his rabbi had advised him that his melancholy would disappear in Frampol.  He begins to spend a lot of money in the town, and the town prospers as never before.  He finally decides to marry one of the local women.  On the day of the wedding, "the gentleman from Cracow revealed his true identity."  Who is he?  Singer reveals him to us: "He was no longer the young man the villagers had welcomed, but a creature covered with scales, with an eye in his chest, and on his forehead a horn that rotated at great speed.  His arms were covered with hair, thorns, and elflocks, and his tail was a mass of live serpents, for he was none other than Ketev Mriri, Chief of the Devils."
The above story could be a parable about the Democratic Party, which can now rightly be called the Leftocratic Party, as it has embraced extremist socialist and communist views.  Its members have morphed from being a voice of hope as one of America's two great parties to being properly characterized as unbelievable liars in their animus toward Pres. Donald J. Trump, voices of perversion as they publicly condemn any reservations expressed about "gender fluidity," and anti-prosperity as they wax indignant about Trump's disengagement from various multilateral deals that drain our economy.  Practical and realistic concerns about Islamic terrorist threats are dismissed with outraged, scowling faces as vicious, maniacal racism.  Further, the so-called impeachment hearings distorted or discarded almost every time-honored legal norm under our rule of law.
The Leftocrats are apologists for evil (not just disagreeable) foreign regimes and are against fundamental Constitutional ideas and structures such as the Tenth Amendment as they resist federal disengagement from setting nationwide education priorities.  Leftocrats have been vehemently calling for abolition of the Electoral College.  They are cursing the president from every podium and venue that presents itself and thereby undermine the separation of powers and demonstrate disrespect for the law of the land since our president is head of the Executive Branch. 
We see in their contempt for federal marijuana laws, the institution of sanctuary cities, and their hostility to border enforcement a deranged lack of perspective regarding the health of our citizens, many of whom are struggling with or dying from drug usage.  The opioid epidemic we face is clearly connected to the opioid supply, and that, in turn, is clearly a border issue.  Yet they put aside the well-being of so many poor souls caught by the hook of addiction into ignoring border enforcement in order to score political hate points against the president.  Instead of looking at border issues in terms of law and national health, they turn enforcement into an ugly, defamatory argument about American and Trumpian racism.  Only 14 years ago, they were able to agree with Republicans on the need for stronger border enforcement, whereas now they try to block every Trump attempt — mandated by the American people — to bring order out of chaos on our southern border.
Their ideas of fairness, justice, family, morality, generosity, love, responsibility are not American in any meaningful way.  Instead of promoting political ideals consistent with the U.S. history of Judeo-Christian ideas and ideals (based upon a Protestant foundation derived from English speaking Protestants, albeit with overlays of other Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish traditions), they have derived most of their ideas from abstractions based in cultural Marxism
The phrase "melting pot" had gained wide currency in 1908, during the great wave of Slavic, Jewish, and Italian immigration, when Israel Zangwill's play "The Melting Pot" was produced.  In it, a character says with enthusiasm, "America is God's crucible, the great melting-pot where all the races of Europe are melting and re-forming!"
Beginning in the 1960s, instead of the melting pot, the multiculturalists — rooted in the cultural Marxism of Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, Eric FrommAntonio Gramsci, and others — began affirming the diversity "salad bowl" image.  Our national motto: E pluribus unum ("out of many one") has been stood on its head, whereby the goal of the nation is purported as fulfilled only by highlighting and praising the distinctions of every sub-cultural group in the U.S. by age, ethnicity, immigrant status, sexual deviancy (preference), and all "protected classes."  The cultural Marxists want us to believe that the melting pot ideal was a deception imposed on society as a whole by white, male, straight Christians and that the melting pot ideal lacked truth, democratic values, and social vigor.  The masses and certain groups in particular were shunted aside, dispossessed, ignored, or brutalized.  America, despite its apparent successes, was sucking the hope and lifeblood out of the masses of people.
For those of us who have witnessed the progress of African-Americans since the days of Jim Crow and have experienced the economic and social progress of generations produced by the dirt-poor, non-English-speaking immigrants, the harsh criticisms of America by the Leftocrats has morphed into an outrageous and almost demonic defiance of reason.  Where is the balance, the display of reasonableness, the acceptance of others?  Instead, we see an unbridled, vulgar, destructive mindset on display everywhere in the party of derangement. Just consider the language used about Trump by Robert De Niro or the mock bloody beheadings of our president.  Consider the evil assassin who tried to kill Republican congressmen in Florida.
The Democrats now rightly can be renamed Leftocrats.  Their hostility to President Trump has reached pathological dimensions or worse.  Their mantras about the "top 1%" or "top 0.1%" have become the tip of a spear of seemingly bottomless hatred for our president, our history, our legal structures, our institutions, our religious heritage, our language, and our achievements in every sphere of human endeavor.  They have left the realm of constructive criticism and have moved even beyond destructive criticism into the pathological domain of hysterical dementia — or, as with Singer's story, a level of unhingedness even beyond the ken of psychiatry.

 

 

Democrats' Contempt for the Sanctity of Life

 

Ed Buck, a prominent Democrat donor and fundraiser, has been charged with battery, administering illegal drugs, and operating a drug house.  The charges paint a disturbing picture of this wealthy scion of liberal politics.  At this time, two men have been identified as having died and a third having been seriously harmed, but prosecutors are said to have found hundreds of photographs "of men in compromising positions" who may have been lured to Buck's home with the promise of money, shelter, and drugs.
This case raises many questions, not just concerning the several felonies with which Buck has been charged, but about the morality of this and other prominent liberals.  On what basis could any human being engage in sexual conduct with "hundreds" of unfortunate human beings, using them like playthings and then casting them aside?  What does such conduct suggest about the capacity of some individuals to use others for their personal pleasure, regardless of the dangerous consequences involved?  
Certainly, conservatives are far from perfect, but at least conservatives do not flaunt their iniquities.  Conservatives as individuals possess all the imperfections of other men, but they still ascribe to an ideal of goodness and virtue.  The same cannot be said for liberals, who believe that they should rack up as much pleasure as possible in this world because they are sure there's no life after death.
For liberals, what happens in the Oval Office stays in the Oval Office.  Many Democrats thought Bill Clinton was just being Clinton and that there was nothing especially immoral about conducting affairs with aides, state employees, actresses, and nursing home managers.  Was this because they did not appreciate the sanctity of those who served as mere diversion for our 42nd president?
Just what is so appealing to liberals about promiscuity, anyway?  Is it just sex, or is there a special satisfaction in transgressing traditional moral codes?  Is it the idea that one is "bigger" than the law?  Or is it that liberals believe that the rules no longer apply?  Is it beneath them to believe in marital fidelity and lifetime devotion to one's spouse?  Liberals think they are too sophisticated for this kid of trust, just as they think telling the truth is Boy Scout stuff and election promises are made to be broken.  "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor."  Yeah, right.
Conservatives are different.  We at least hold up the ideal of devotion, honesty, and truth-telling, and though we're not perfect, we try to be.  That's especially the case when it involves the sanctity of life.  Conservatives defend the unborn, defend their families, and defend their God-given liberties.  Conservatives know that all of God's creation is sacred, and it is that knowledge that makes them act with restraint and care.  That is the essence of conservatism.
The essence of liberalism, as I see it, is a lack of restraint rooted in egotism and self.  The Warren presidential campaign is a perfect example.  If elected, Elizabeth Warren will, according to her own admission, attempt to closely regulate all large businesses, eliminate fracking and the jobs that go with it, provide Medicare for All, dictate health care decisions (including practically unlimited abortion "rights"), eliminate capital punishment, raise taxes on the wealthy and on corporations, provide free college, cancel student debt, eliminate the Electoral College, ban assault weapons, open our borders, legalize marijuana, and significantly cut the defense budget.
Warren's policies show her to be an extremist driven by ideology rather than concern for the individuals whom she would tax, endanger, disenfranchise, and tyrannize with regulation and social mandates.  Where is her concern for the individuals whose lives she would alter so radically with her sweeping reforms?  Those lives are sacred, their right to prosper and save is sacred, and their right to safety and security is sacred.  Warren does not seem to have thought much about the dangers of unrestrained immigration or the fact that a weakened national defense will put all Americans at risk.  What is she describing is tyranny, plain and simple.
The most obvious example of liberal denial of the sanctity of life, of course, is liberals' position on abortion.  For any person who truly believes in the sanctity of life, abortion must be repugnant.  One point six million abortions, terminating approximately one quarter of all pregnancies, are performed every year in the U.S.  At this rate, that would amount to 80 million abortions over the past 50 years.  Imagine the loss of those beautiful human souls.
Or are they beautiful?  Liberals do not believe so.  They tell us that the earth has become overpopulated.  It is "the earth" that matters and not human beings.  Or they say the mothers of those unborn children would not be able to care for them and that the children would just become a burden on the State.  The "burden on the State" is more important than the unborn child.
What you will never hear from a liberal is the idea that every child, born and unborn, is sacred.  A child is worth that burden and worth the stress he purportedly places on "the earth."  A time is coming when America will wish that it had those 80 million souls to defend it and help it prosper.  That ability to contribute to society and pursue economic opportunity, and to fight if necessary to defend one's home, is another side of what makes every child sacred.  Children are sacred because of their capacity for goodness, beauty, and life, but also because they will grow into adults who take responsibility for themselves and for their neighbors.   
Would any conservative vote to end the life of 80 million human beings?
I believe that every human being is God's creation and that everyone is born with the potential to contribute and achieve.  Our Founders believed in limited government because they too believed in human potential, and they feared the tyranny of authoritarianism.  They had reason to fear, having lived under the yoke of British colonial rule.
It is no accident that those who seek a vast expansion of government power today also oppose the sanctity of life.  A free people engaged in productive endeavors will never vote for a socialist who will suppress their freedom.  What today's tyrants fear above all is a public that believes in the sanctity of life and is willing to stand up for it.

So is running for president now a corrupt Democrat's 'get out of jail free' card?

 

Based on today's standards, promoted in Congress and the press, Democratic Party candidates, such as Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, can greatly enrich their families with massive amounts of money from foreign parties, and a Republican president or its Justice department are not even allowed to bring up their names, let alone research their obvious corruption. Most of the media and other Democrats are now calling President Trump's bid to get to the bottom of the ongoing corruption we see 'impeachable' and they couldn't care less about corruption as they preach that no one is above the law.
Democrats can seek trash on their Republican opponents from foreign nationals and not only do most journalists and other Democrats not care, they can use a fake dossier full of opposition research as grist for an FBI investigation in their bid to take out Trump. Then, if Trump brings up Biden’s name to a foreign leader, they call that illegal and impeachable.
A Democrat, her staff and many at the State Department and other agencies can continually violate the nation's security laws (as Clinton did) and the Justice Department inexplicably lets her off. Most journalists and other Democrats support her and call it partisan to look at the clear violations of the law as they lecture everyone that no one is above the law.
A Democrat and her spouse can physically and mentally abuse women (again, the Clinton pair) and seek to destroy anyone who gets in their way as they amass power. Most journalists and other Democrats don’t give a damn about any of the abused women with credible claims against Bill or Hillary Clinton even as they say how pro-women they are.
A Democrat commits fraud throughout her adult life by lying about her heritage to move up the economic ladder (Elizabeth Warren) and most journalists and other Democrats will support her. In fact, they've made her the frontrunner in the current Democratic nomination for president polls.
Democrat candidates can seek to destroy and impeach Judge Brett Kavanaugh based on articles the media has published with no evidence to support the stories. And the media pretends their stories are based on facts. How can they expect the public to believe them when they ran years of stories on Russian collusion when there was never any evidence?
Democrat candidates continually lie about what Trump said in Charlottesville and lie about Ferguson, Missouri to gin up racial hate and violence and they are supported wholeheartedly by the complicit media as they pretend they are the party of unity and the truthful party.
Democrat bureaucrats in the Obama administration, at Justice, CIA, other intelligence agencies and at the State Department continually lie to justify spying to take out Trump while they protect Hillary from prosecution. But if the Trump administration looks at the origins of the fake Russian collusion narrative, that is impeachable and partisan. The compliant media doesn’t give a darn about the clear violations of the law and abuse of power while they continually say that no one is above the law.
A Democrat president can violate the Constitution with DACA, be flexible with Russia, give kickbacks to Iran tyrants, stop an investigation into drug running by terrorists to appease Iran, violate bankruptcy laws, have slush funds at Justice, CFPB and EPA to reward political supporters, illegally unmask names of people surrounding Trump, leave Americans to die in Libya while concocting a lie, spy illegally on thousands of Americans, imprison reporters, look the other way as his Secretary of State violates security laws and takes kickbacks, Look the other way as Obama administration officials such as Eric Holder, John Brennan, James Clapper, Susan Rice and others commit perjury, withhold documents from Congress for years on Fast and Furious, prosecute whistleblowers for violation of the espionage act, cage and separate children at the border and all his conversations with foreign leaders will remain private.
As the media watched all this clear corruption unfold throughout eight years of Obama, almost all journalists and other Democrat supported him, called him brilliant and to this date pretend the Obama administration was scandal-free as they tell the public that no one is above the law.
Known serial liars Clapper, Brennan, Holder, plus creepy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti are treated as reliable sources by almost all media outlets as they trash Trump.
Meanwhile, whatever Trump does is impeachable, even if it is only bringing up Biden’s name to investigate clear corruption. According to the media, as they collude with other Democrats, it appears that every one of Trump’s phone calls should be made public.
And any disgruntled Democrat bureaucrat who leaks information, whether or not they had firsthand knowledge, should be treated as a protected whistleblower instead of a leaker.
Republicans are welcome as reliable sources in the media, like Senators Mitt Romney, John McCain or Jeff Flake, as long as they are trashing Trump. Otherwise they are not welcome.
It is so hard to spot the bias as the media trashes Trump and his supporters, daily, with every name in the book and lecture the public that no one is above the law and how the Democrat party is the party of unity.

Hillary's going to get in

It is no longer a matter of if but of when.  All doubts about Hillary's 2020 plans should have been erased by her appearances this week promoting the book that she and her daughter “wrote” to say nothing about her mien!  She endlessly reprised her absurd claim that the election was stolen from her, called for Trump's impeachment, and even admitted to her gutsiness for standing by her man.
I think she has always been in the race, covertly, and that she and Bill always assumed that no candidate would arrive at the convention with enough delegates to win the nomination on the first ballot, at which point she could be put forth as a compromise.
Screen Grab (Cropped)
Biden's done for; there is no way he is going to survive the imbroglio surrounding his son's machinations and profiteering in Ukraine and China.  There's too much there there.  It will become inescapable, even to the unwashed, that the only reason money flowed to Hunter Biden was to gain influence with Joe or gain benefits through Joe and his network of friends and allies.
Joe’s always been a placeholder for Hillary, whether he realizes it or not. It’s all has changed now because Biden's done, and could precipitate Hillary's early entry into the fray, as not only Biden but Bernie Sanders may be leaving the field. With their supporters potentially up for grabs, Elizabeth Warren could end up with a first ballot victory.
Hillary has to know that she is considered to be unlikable, but I think it is a given that no one likes Warren, either.  Daniel Greenfield compares her to Hillary here:
Warren’s likability deficit has nothing to do with her gender....[She ripped] off asbestos victims while pocketing a tidy sum....The ‘Hillariness’ of Warren doesn’t [just] lie in their shared fabulism or lack of ethics....[her] a complete lack of qualifications....[or because both are] inauthentic scolds who suffer from hall monitor syndrome. They spent their entire lives breaking every rule they could find while awkwardly fantasizing about running every tiny detail of everyone else’s lives....[They're] both unlikable because you can’t picture either one having any fun....[C]ombine that with an obsessive need to monitor, regulate and eradicate other people’s fun, and you have the miserable essence of the progressive movement.
Hillary, and Bill, know that this is their [third] last chance, and they're not going to let another woman snatch it from her, as that “articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking” black guy or that entitled creep did.  So, keep an eye out, for “when” is going to be sooner than anyone expected.
Now, can she win this time?  Only a fool would count her out.  She won't lose Biden's supporters.  Just being a woman will get her many of Warren's female supporters.  Despite Trump's inroads with African-American and Hispanic voters, she'll find considerable support in those groups.  Wall Street, Hollywood, and the MSM love her.  Traditional Democrats, not wanting four more years of uproar, may return to the fold over Ukraine and the like.
She'll work harder this time, if she can uphold under the effort, bringing Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Michigan, and Wisconsin into the picture.  She'll be better prepared to debate Trump, but that may not mean much since Trump's hard to out-debate.
Settle into the chair, get out the popcorn, the show's about to begin.  If you doubt it, then I have a walking trail in Chappaqua to sell you.
