Liberal Democrat says “Every Racist in America Voted for Donald Trump”
Congressman Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) probably won’t be winning any popularity contests outside of New York, but he probably doesn’t care about that. We can tell because he’s a big fan of dropping the red meat down for his liberal constituents, but he’s not a big fan of being gracious to his political opponents or respectful of those who disagree with him.
Case in point his most, check out his most recent speech where he argues that not every Trump voter is racist…. but every racist is a Trump voter.
Eight years of tremendous progress in moving this country forward, followed by the election of Donald Trump. A man who spent five years perpetuating the racist lie that Barack Obama was not born in the United States of America.
And many of us are wondering, why were so many people who worship at the altar of white supremacy drawn to Donald Trump’s campaign? What was it about this individual that so many folks dripping in hatred flocked to his candidacy?
That’s not to say that every American who voted for Donald Trump is a racist. We do know that every racist in America voted for Donald Trump. That’s a problem. But this president has a responsibility to address the rise in hate crimes that have taken place on his watch, whether or not his election is directly connected to it.
Jeffries has apparently never heard of the New Black Panthers, or the Black Lives Matter movement, or any of the many liberal voting groups who believe that white people should be disenfranchised and/or silenced. And why do these groups believe that whites should be silenced? Because they’re white… which is kind of the textbook definition of “racism.”

Trump Talks Apprenticeships With Executive Order
Ted Goodman
President Donald Trump unveiled an apprenticeship initiative Thursday, calling on America’s private sector to partner with his administration on the ambitious goal.
The initiative is a part of what the White House is calling “Workforce Development Week,” a theme that has been lost in a news cycle dominated by Russia and the Wednesday shooting in Alexandria. The president originally planned to discuss apprenticeships Wednesday, but changed his schedule due to the tragic shooting.
“I’ll be signing an executive order to expand apprenticeships and vocational training to help all Americans find a rewarding career, earn a great living, and support themselves and their families,” Trump said from the White House Thursday.
“We will be removing federal restrictions that have prevented many different industries from creating apprenticeship programs,” the president continued. “We have regulations on top of regulations, and in history, no one has gotten rid of so many regulations as the Trump administration.”
Trump’s Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta has helped the president unveil the apprenticeship plan, touting the initiative as part of a larger effort to close the nation’s skills gap.
“Americans want to work, American companies want to hire,” Acosta said Monday. “The issue is a mismatch between available jobs and prospective employee’s jobs skills,” he said, citing a survey where 95 percent of executives reported problems finding qualified workers.
The president argued that apprenticeships can be a better alternative than a traditional college education for some kids.
“We’re empowering these companies, these unions, industry groups, federal agencies, to go out and create new apprenticeships for millions of our citizens,” Trump said while flanked by apprenticeship participants.
“Apprenticeships place students into great jobs without the crippling debt of traditional four year degrees,” Trump said. “Instead, apprentices earn while they learn.”
The president also talked about the number of companies reinvesting in America. “We have a lot of companies moving in, a lot of plants are going to be built. A lot of plants are being expanded,” he said. “And big ones are going to be announced very soon, we’re gonna hear some very big names that I can’t tell you about now,” he explained, saying that he wants to wait until they “sign the dotted line.”
Trump’s focus on apprenticeship programs is part of of his larger mantra of “America first.” He said that the program is designed to help American workers. “I probably wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the American worker,” Trump said. “And the American worker sees what’s happening in Michigan and in Ohio and in a lot of places that we’ve had a huge impact on.”
Private industry commended the president for his initiative.
“The restaurant industry fully supports the President’s Executive Order and thanks the President and Secretary Acosta for their continued focus on apprenticeships, a proven recognized path to full and rewarding careers,” Dawn Sweeney, president and CEO of the National Restaurant Association, told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Small Business Administration Administrator Linda McMahon, and First Daughter Ivanka Trump were also present at the press conference.
Trump Calls Scalise a True Friend and a Patriot
BY MARTIN LIOLL
When word was spreading about Wednesday’s shooting of several individuals at a Republican baseball practice by a deranged leftist, President Donald Trump showed the world exactly a president should react — and it was completely unlike how Barack Obama did it.
After the shooting took place early in the morning in Alexandria, the president began by issuing a statement about the incident.
“The Vice President and I are aware of the shooting incident in Virginia and are monitoring developments closely,” Trump said, according to The Washington Post.
“We are deeply saddened by this tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the members of Congress, their staffs, Capitol Police, first responders, and all others affected.”
He then took to Twitter for further updates.
“Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, a true friend and patriot, was badly injured but will fully recover. Our thoughts and prayers are with him,” the president said in a tweet.
Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, a true friend and patriot, was badly injured but will fully recover. Our thoughts and prayers are with him.
Later in the day, Trump tweeted after visiting the hospital.
Just left hospital. Rep. Steve Scalise, one of the truly great people, is in very tough shape - but he is a real fighter. Pray for Steve!
“Just left hospital. Rep. Steve Scalise, one of the truly great people, is in very tough shape – but he is a real fighter. Pray for Steve!” the tweet read.
According to Fox News, Scalise is still in critical condition at the MedStar Washington Hospital and will require further surgery.
“The bullet traveled across his pelvis, fracturing bones, injuring internal organs, and causing severe bleeding,” a statement from the hospital read. “He underwent immediate surgery, and an additional procedure to stop bleeding. He has received multiple units of blood transfusion.”
Note the tone of Trump’s comments. Even though the assailant was clearly motivated by his political animus toward Republicans, there was no attempt to politicize Wednesday’s shooting in the immediate aftermath. Just a call to pray for Scalise and stating his friendship with the House majority whip.
By contrast, Obama’s reaction to a high-profile shooting was reflexively political, whether the gunmen were lone wolf crazies like at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, an Islamic terrorist like the Orlando nightclub killer last June or a Black Lives Matter radical like the one who assassinated five Dallas police officers in July.
How Trump reacted Wednesday is exactly what a president should do — and something we haven’t seen for a while.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all who were injured in Wednesday’s shooting in Arlington.
Brzezinski Suggests Trump to Blame for Anti-GOP Rampage
'Morning Joe' co-host claims president partly responsible for left-winger's attack on Republicans
by Edmund Kozak
-
MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski implied on Thursday morning that President Donald Trump’s rhetoric was somehow ultimately responsible for the attempted assassination of Republican congressmen in Alexandria, Virginia, on Wednesday.
While halfheartedly acknowledging a myriad of other possible factors that may have contributed to the toxic political climate (save increasingly extreme mainstream liberal rhetoric), Brzezinski made it clear that she believes — and therefore wishes her audience to believe — that Trump’s arrival on the political scene was the spark that set America ablaze.
"I think that very carefully we have to talk about the added dynamic here," Brzezinski said. "We also have a president who pushes fake news and conspiracy theories — to birtherism, to promoting violence on the campaign trail, I mean this is the new dynamic here."
"I'm not putting anything squarely on the president here, but this is a new added dynamic to a very dangerous climate," she said.
Co-host Joe Scarborough was more reasonable but also declined to acknowledge the ways in which Democrats and the left increasingly engage in rhetoric dehumanizing and vilifying Republicans.
"The heated record in this country has to calm down," Scarborough said. -
"There has been a disconnect in American society, in American culture, and in American politics, that … is driven in part by social media, driven in part by cable news, driven in part by fake news on the internet, driven in part by hatemongers who actually make money and become fabulously wealthy creating conspiracy theories that paint the other side as evil."
In what can only be described as a major policy shift, some Democrats are now coming out in favor of capital punishment.
Turns out, they were just waiting for a crime they felt deserving of the death penalty.
Follow along as we travel down the warped path of liberal logic.
On April 17, 1995, in beautiful Bellingham, Washington, fourteen-year-old Kristy Ohnstad was kidnapped and raped by Clark Elmore. Sated, he strangled her. Then he drove a metal skewer through her head. Just in case she was still alive (or just because he was totally depraved), he tied a plastic bag around her head and battered in her skull with a sledge hammer.
He was arrested, convicted and condemned.
The United States Supreme Court denied to hear his appeal, though bleeding heart liberals Sotomayor and Ginsburg did their best to get the sentence overturned. Still, justice was denied when Governor Jay Inslee (Democrat) granted Elmore a reprieve.
Groups such as The National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the ACLU, along with Democrat activists all across the country, have long fought to abolish the death penalty in cases such as Elmore’s.
But that was yesteryear, this is today.
On June 14, 2017 a group of Republican congressmen showed up at a baseball field in Virginia carrying bats, balls, and mitts.
James Hodgkinson showed up carrying a high powered rifle.
In the aftermath of the shooting, all right-thinking people are thanking God no one was killed.
But the reactions of some on the left are a mix of joy and disappointment. Joy that Republicans were targeted, but disappointment that the psychotic goal was not achieved, and that the address was not 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Here are just some of the comments from progressives:
Huff Po BetaBoy Jesse Benn: “For violent resistance to work it’d need to be organized.”
Zit-head Malcolm Harris of The New Republic: “If the shooter has a serious health condition is taking pot shots at the GOP self-defense?”
And because baiting a race war is oxygen to progressives, we have Tariq Nasheed’s hot take: “Rep. Steve Scalise, who once spoke at a white supremacist rally sponsored by David Duke, was SHOT today.” (CAP LOCKS his not mine, because anyone who speaks at a rally full of idiots deserves to be SHOT.
So, let’s review.
Crimes not eligible for the death penalty:
Vicious and overly violent murder committed by pedophile rapists.
Crimes that require mandatory death penalty:
Failure to participate in Group Think.
Being a Republican.
Supporting a president that is not the one chosen by the left.
What we witnessed yesterday is the natural progression of the progressive fascists.
It began with jackboot thugs sent to Trump rallies by the Clinton campaign’s Robert Creamer and Scott Foval, to pose as supporters and incite violence in order to further the media/Dem meme that Trump supporters are violent.
This was followed by the many assaults perpetrated by the Anti-fa punks, mostly viewable on the internet only as the main stream media refuses to show anything that doesn’t advance their fake news narrative.
This opened the door for the death threats on elected Republicans such as New York’s Claudia Tenney, who received this lovely message after the Scalise shooting: “One down, 216 to go.” And Utah’s Jason Chaffetz, who was assured, “I will hunt your ass down, wrap a rope around your neck, and hang you from a lamppost.” And let’s not forget Director Joss Wheedon’s classic: “I want a rhino to F*ck Paul Ryan to death.”
The next logical step was the increase, and acceptance by many, of imagined assassinations, suggested by the likes of Snoop Pup, Kathy Griffin and Central Park’s Shakespearean troupe, The Chamberpot’s Men.
After yesterday’s attempt at murder, there is only one step remaining.
And don’t doubt for a minute that right now, in some basement hideaway, fanatics who vote only for candidates with a D next to their name are discussing how to do just that.
Turns out, they were just waiting for a crime they felt deserving of the death penalty.

Sorry, Dr. Krauthammer, the problem is on the left
By Thomas Lifson
There are few political commentators that come up to the level of Dr. Charles Krauthammer, but yesterday he managed to say something very intelligent, reasonable, superficially correct, yet wrong-headed. In his appearance on Special Report yesterday, he blamed multiple factors that involve both parties for the horrendous violence enacted on a baseball practice field, turning it from a field of dreams to a field of nightmares.
ROBERTS: “In the middle of all of this, Charles, an editorial in ‘The New York Times’ which again repeated the much discredited meme that a Sarah Palin ad was responsible for the Gabby Giffords shooting. So even the media is in on this game, too, not just the political sides.”
KRAUTHAMMER: “I agree. That editorial this morning repeating that was not only scandalous but unbelievable because that is a 6-year-old story that’s been debunked within three days. It turned out it had nothing at all to do with her. The man who did the shooting was a paranoid schizophrenic. I think the problem here is twofold. It’s not just a style but it’s also the objectives. There’s now a style in our politics where the ad hominem is a norm. People ought to fight over policy but once you begin to question the motives, the patriotism of your opponent, you have gone too far. The worst thing, and I think this is overlooked — the two parties, the two ideologies, you might say, speak about the politics in apocalyptic terms. If the other guy wins, it’s the end of the republic. If the other guy wins, it’s the end of the world. The man who did the shooting yesterday is a man who bought into that quite literally. You can speak about it hyperbolically. When those are stakes, when you say, ‘Unless we stop Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, the republic will not survive,’ then it justifies anything. That is the language, the ideology, the rationale of terrorists. The fate of the world hangs on this. And it’s up to the leadership to say, ‘These are policies. This is not the fate of the republic.’”
I also deplore ad hominem attacks, but they have always been with us. When a real argument is unavailable, personal attacks will suffice in dishonest minds. And it is true that many people are alarmed, even panicked over the stakes at risk in politics today. Part of that is due to the vast enlargement of the federal government and its involvement in the minutiae of our lives, down to our flushing of toilets. Politics does matter in ways today that it did not a hundred years ago.
But unquestionably, we live in an era of apocalyptic notions, though the past is replete with apocalyptic visions motivating religion and politics. Two things are different today, however.

-
An important percentage of the public has embraced politics as their religion. When people reject traditional religions, they often end up finding ultimate values in politics. Some actually worship the government, though they would never admit it in those terms. But they seek the perfection of the human condition through the efforts of a benevolent government acting in the interests of the entire community, not just individuals.
-
The extinction of humanity and other apocalyptic visions area actually possible now in ways they never were in the past. A nuclear holocaust; biological experimentation or warfare gone out of control; and other technology-driven hazards, many of which are unknown. Our power is greater than ever when it comes to the the systems necessary to sustain our lives.
But these factors have been in place for a long time, and do not explain why we now face escalating political violence.
There is a problem with rhetoric, but it is not that people see the stakes too high. The problem now is that one faction of politics refuses to accept the legitimacy of President Trump, and having tacitly adopted the strategy of forcing him from office, they have opened the door to legitimizing nondemocratic means of forcing political change.
And the message has gotten out and proliferated to the Left: anything goes!

AT readers already know that the left has been indulging in violent imagery directed at President Trump. This directly feeds into the echo chambers of social media, where people of like mind politically vie for notoriety. The way to get more responses is to escalate. This is the breeding ground from which sick minds gain support as fantasies of attaining popular acclaim (in their little universe) and historic notability push them over the edge.
There is something unique in the current era, as far as my historical knowledge goes. Fantasy political violence against political opponents is not limited to the fringe, but rather has been embraced by the heights of cultural and institutional power: Shakespeare in the Park and the New York Times. And on down the prestige chain:
This gets circulated on social media, and read by people like James T. Hodgkinson. I hope that the FBI will publish a list of the sites and posts read by him.
Michelle Malkin nailed it:

SecDef Mattis Blames Obama for Failures in Afghanistan
United States Secretary of Defense James Mattis blamed former President Barack Obama for the U.S. losing the war in Afghanistan.
According to The Daily Caller, Mattis spoke in front of the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on Wednesday to discuss President Donald Trump’s decision to give Mattis the power to examine the number of troops in Afghanistan.
During his testimony, Mattis explained how former President Barack Obama’s decision to pull support for Afghan troops in 2014 allowed the Taliban to build up its power in the country. As a result, the war in Afghanistan will not end anytime soon, and it’s up to Trump and his team to resolve the situation.
“I believe that we pulled out forces at a time, as you know, when the violence was lower, but we pulled them out on a timeline rather than consistent with the maturation of the government and the security forces,” Mattis said.
“At one point, when we reduced our forces there, I believe in what was probably in hindsight a misguided application of our forces. We restricted them from using our air support, with some idea we would wean them off the need for it,” Mattis said.
Then, Mattis dropped a bomb and completely humiliated President Obama and his leadership. “The result was that as security declined, all the other stresses have come to bear, to include heavy casualties on the part of the Afghan forces, other nations pulled their forces out as well, and the Taliban was emboldened,” Mattis said.
“We’re not winning in Afghanistan right now, and we will correct this as soon as possible,” he said with authority.
According to The New York Times, Mattis also laid out the Trump administration’s plan to win the war in Afghanistan.
The U.S. will reassess the need for additional troops in Afghanistan in an effort to support Afghan troops in their goal to reduce violence in the country. Those U.S. service members will include air power and possibly special operations forces. After a period of time, the Trump administration hopes that U.S. forces will have provided Afghan troops all they need to sustain safety in their country on their own.
It seems as if Trump has more of a plan to win the war than Obama ever did.
Share this story on Facebook and Twitter and let us know where you think President Obama’s bad decisions were in regards to the war in Afghanistan.
Trump goes NUCLEAR on Twitter
Over the last two days, President Donald Trump has been unloading on his critics using Twitter — and what he’s saying will have conservatives nodding their heads in agreement.
Friday, Trump unloaded on Robert Mueller and the “greatest witch hunt in American political history.”
I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director! Witch Hunt
The president’s political allies have been calling for Mueller’s removal because of his apparent bias against Trump.
How biased is the establishment against our president?
Thursday afternoon, Trump pointed out the bias in both mainstream media coverage and politically motivated investigations when it comes to leading Democrats.
Why is that Hillary Clintons family and Dems dealings with Russia are not looked at, but my non-dealings are?
Crooked H destroyed phones w/ hammer, 'bleached' emails, & had husband meet w/AG days before she was cleared- & they talk about obstruction?

Early Friday morning, Trump turned his attention to the lack of evidence gathered regarding the so-called “collusion” conspiracy theory being pushed by the mainstream media.
Trump spoke on how the lack of evidence proves the “investigation” is likely little more than political theater.
After 7 months of investigations & committee hearings about my "collusion with the Russians," nobody has been able to show any proof. Sad!
Talk about some nuclear truth bombs!
Still, Trump wasn’t done.

Later, the president pointed out that the mainstream media can’t control the narrative if he uses Twitter as a modern version of the bully pulpit — and they’re not happy about it, Trump said.

CNN Chief Needs a Therapy Puppy and a Pacifier
Jeff Zucker, the head of the nation’s biggest fake news network, CNN, is whining over what he claims is an “unconscionable and dangerous” effort by President Donald Trump to de-legitimize the press which has, according to him, increased the threats faced by his fake news peddlers.
“We’ve been dealing with this in very real and heightened way over the last 18 months,” he blubbered.
Oh, cry me a river.
CNN has brought this all on itself by throwing off even the thinnest veil of covering this president fairly and objectively. And they’ve been pulling this same kind of crud for YEARS. They weren’t dubbed the “Clinton News Network” back in the 90’s for nothing.
CNN was particularly brutal covering former House Speaker Newt Gingrichafter the Republican take-over of Congress in 1994. And it was unceasing in its negative coverage of former Republican President George W. Bush.
In addition, the network has served as the unofficial propaganda machine for Democrats against any and all GOP presidential candidates over the years…with the possible exception of Sen. John McCain. But he doesn’t count as a Republican.
And it’s even worse when a Republican is also considered a principled conservative.
On the other hand, CNN goes out of its way to protect Democrats and liberals – only occasionally criticizing them with kid gloves to project a false sheen of objectivity.
But their efforts to delegitimize President Trump have taken their bias, including outright and demonstrable lies, to an all-new level. It’s shameful. Disgusting. Unconscionable. And yes, dangerous.
The poisonous political environment that exists today – in which a Bernie Sanders supporter decides it’s OK to take a high-powered rifle and go “Republican hunting” at a local playground – can be laid directly at the feet of CNN and its “amen corner” at other liberal news outlets.

For years CNN has used its bully pulpit – with the key word being “bully” – to beat Republican elected officials into submission on a wide variety of public policy issues and campaigns. And once they’ve decided to target an individual, they’ve been a pit bull on a bone. They just won’t let it go.
Then along came Mr. Trump. Unlike most Republicans, he bites back.
And after decades of having it all their way, CNN doesn’t like it. But CNN has brought this all on itself. The public caught on to their act long ago but never had a champion tough enough to put them in their rightful place. Now we do.
Of course, CNN and others wrap themselves in the shroud of protecting “the peoples’ right to know.” But no one elected them to do that for us. They’re self-appointed. With no accountability. Unlike our government’s constitutionally established “checks and balances,” the media has operated its anti-GOP/anti-Trump propaganda machine with absolute impunity.
Enough is enough.
I’m certainly not condoning violence or physical threats against the self-proclaimed “reporters” and “journalists” at CNN. But to blame President Trump for the negative reactions to their ongoing and relentless fake news for simply defending himself and counter-punching in the political arena is absurd.
Our advice to Jeff Zucker if he won’t change his evil ways and stop trying to de-legitimize Trump’s presidency: Suck it up, buttercup. It’s gonna be a long seven-and-a-half years!
Cheers.

P.S. Promises made, promises kept. Another Obama-era policy enacted without congressional approval bites the dust…
“Yesterday, DHS Secretary John Kelly, after consulting with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, signed a memo rescinding the November 20, 2014 memo that created the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (‘DAPA’) program. The rescinded policy also provided expanded work authorization for recipients under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (‘DACA’) program for three years (versus two years). This policy has also now been rescinded.”

And the march to make America great again soldiers on!
