Conrad Black: Donald Trump will be a successful president again
Post Date: 2022-08-17 01:12:14 by tankumo
2 Comments
Though I often write about Trump in the U.S., I generally avoid that subject here because Trump is so profoundly misunderstood and discreditable motives are often imputed to me. I am generally supportive of him despite his infelicities, because I believe the United States was terribly misgoverned in the Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama years and in policy terms Trump was a very effective and successful president and will probably be so again. He was also a very congenial business associate and cordial acquaintance and we have long shared, from experience, a dislike of the ability of American prosecutors to abuse the plea-bargain system, to extort and suborn false inculpatory evidence with ...
Until Election Integrity Issues Are Fixed, Conservatives Should Not Stop Talking About The 2020 Election

The only way we can be assured of more secure, trusted elections in the future is if we continue to debate and discuss what happened in 2020. Following the contentious 2000 election of President George W. Bush, former President Jimmy Carter and Republican James Baker co-chaired the bipartisan Commission on Election Reform. It issued a 100-plus-page document called “Building Confidence in U.S. Elections,” which treated election integrity, public accountability, and transparency seriously, and as vitally important to that goal.........
Voters should never forgive Democrats for their dangerous expansion of the IRS

Congress has passed the Manchin-Schumer government-power-grab bill, but that shouldn’t mean we move on to the next thing. The public fury and political payback should continue, particularly against its provisions turning the IRS into an authoritarian leviathan. The bill authorized the hiring of nearly 87,000 new IRS agents, with 14 times the amount of resources devoted to “enforcement” crackdowns as to currently lacking and desperately needed customer service. This literally should frighten us............
The Biden Administration’s Grave Mar-a-Lago Mistake
Post Date: 2022-08-14 14:52:38 by tankumo

Talleyrand once remarked of a particularly egregious act on the part of his oft-capricious master, Napoleon Bonaparte, that “it was worse than a crime. It was a mistake.” That famous quote, it seems, captures the situation Democrats now find themselves in following the raid on Donald Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago. Taking a step back from the justifiable outrage over the recent FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, and from concerns over the damage it inflicted on the reputation of law enforcement and fraying respect for partisan norms, a bigger mystery emerges. What, precisely did the Biden administration – and Attorney General Merrick Garland in particular – hope the raid would ...
Yes, Comey did leak classified information

The new report from the Justice Department inspector general proves beyond any doubt that fired FBI Director James Comey leaked sensitive law enforcement material in the Trump-Russia investigation. Doing so set a "dangerous example" for the bureau's other employees, Inspector General Michael Horowitz wrote. Still, Comey's supporters have claimed exoneration on one front: that Comey did not leak classified information. Some reacted angrily when President Trump tweeted that Comey had done so............
Does Donald Trump Have Jeffrey Epstein’s List of Clients?

Does Donald Trump have Jeffrey Epstein’s list of clients? The Deep State, Bureaucracy, Swamp, Administrative State, Military-Industrial Complex, Democrats, Media, Establishment Republicans, and crew are acting like Trump is Satan incarnate. At this point their loathing seems overwrought, to understate it. Every norm is being thrown out for a man who governed in a perfunctory way. At first, the hysteria seemed just like partisan hyperventilating. Now, the actions are shrill hysteria. Only one thing causes this kind of collective freakout in Washington, D.C.: fear. What about Donald Trump makes these people so afraid? Thus, I return to my first question: Does Donald Trump have Jeffrey ...
FBI Raid On Trump Will Make Him A Martyr

Monday's FBI raid on President Trump's Palm Beach, Florida home at Mar-a- Lago, represents the most dramatic intensification of Deep State action against anyone. The unannounced search - presumably to find classified documents that he may have brought to his home after he left office - played directly into Trump's hands. In a statement, Trump was classic Trump. He said the estate "is currently under siege, raided, and occupied. After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate. Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries.".............

“The last thing you want to do is to raise taxes in the middle of a recession.” – President Barak Obama, August 5, 2009 Not here. Not in the state proudly dubbed the “Free State of Florida.” It’s a shame to have to point this out, but the United States Senate is considering legislation so inappropriately titled that it might come right out of the bizarro episode of Seinfeld. Nevertheless, while the country is reeling from the onset of a recession coupled with near-double-digit inflation, the most left-wing elements of our policymaking body in Washington seem to have convinced Senator Joe Manchin that down is up, wrong is right, and pain is pleasure.........
Democrats suddenly realize open borders are a disaster

Republican border-state governors are sending busloads of illegal entrants — released in their states by the Department of Homeland Security — to DC and New York City, prompting recriminations and pleas for federal cash from the Democratic mayors of those erstwhile immigrant-friendly cities. Those mayors, seemingly unwittingly, are making the governors’ point — that the administration has created a disaster at the US-Mexico line, requiring an immediate policy shift to protect lives and state and local finances............
As Media Turns on Biden, Don’t Forget Their Role in Creating Current Disaster

In recent weeks, the national media has generated an unusual amount of criticism directed at an unlikely political figure. Though most Americans have come to expect the nearly daily deluge of negative coverage of former President Donald Trump, conservative Supreme Court justices, and Congressional Republicans, the media’s new scapegoat is none other than the man they once hailed as “hero” and “savior”: President Joe Biden...........
STUNNING! 80.0% of In-Person Voters in Maricopa County on Election Day Voted Republican – Only 23.4% Voted Democrat

Maricopa County had 106,588k voters show up Tuesday to vote in-person. Of those, a record breaking percentage voted for the GOP. In Arizona, anyone registered as an “Independent” can show up to the polls and request either a Republican, or Democrat ballot. In Tuesday’s Primary, 80.0% who voted in-person selected a Republican Party ballot. Only 23.4% used the Democrat ballot. This is obviously great news, but the county’s mail-in ballots are 10 times this amount. The charts below provide various details..............

In a ruling released on Friday, a judge struck down a San Francisco city ordinance allowing non-citizens to vote in school board elections. The ordinance, which allowed non-citizen parents of school-aged children to vote in school board elections, was approved in 2016 and took effect in 2018, and was extended indefinitely in 2021. The law was challenged by various groups, including the California Public Policy Foundation and the United States Justice Foundation...........
Congress should not legalize marijuana

The movement to legalize marijuana has enjoyed an unbroken string of victories on the state level over the last decade. But as Congress considers nationwide legalization , proponents of legal cannabis are making the same empty promises they made to the residents of every state that took their advice. They spoke of marijuana as a harmless drug that gave a cheap high and nothing more — not at all like the deadlier hard drugs such as meth and opioids, with their unhealthy and even lethal consequences. They also downplayed the idea that widespread drug use would bring about societal maladies............
Biden's Title IX rule could mean your daughter's college roommate will be a man

Of all the uncertainties that college freshmen must face, none is more sensitive than the issue of roommates. You might become best friends. You might go to war over who ate the leftover pizza in the fridge. There’s nothing to be taken for granted when it comes to living with a virtual stranger, except that men room with men and women room with women. At least, for now. If the Biden administration gets its way, schools could force biological female students to live with biological men who identify as women and vice versa. The Department of Education has proposed a new Title IX rule that demands that colleges treat students in line with their gender identity, not their biological sex. ...

On a recent July afternoon in The Bronx, 19-year-old Franklin Mesa went up to Nathaniel Rivers, 35, who had just parked his car, and allegedly stabbed him to death in front of his wife. Mesa’s family members described him as schizophrenic. Police said he was arrested last year for punching somebody, twice, in the face. And a neighbor told The Post that he was often the source of “hostile, aggressive” situations, including preventing a woman from getting on the bus...........
Why Biden’s claims of US economic strength don’t add up — and Dems are looking to add more poison
Post Date: 2022-07-30 13:39:39 by tankumo

We’re not in a recession despite two quarters of shrinking Gross Domestic Product, President Joe Biden argues, because the job market “remains historically strong.” Sorry, Joe: The job market is historically screwed up. Yes, unemployment’s at 3.6% — but millions of working-age folks have left the labor force, so don’t count in the rate. That’s a central reason the jobs market is so tight that many companies are finding it impossible to hire, even if they offer more pay — which makes it a lot harder for those companies to grow. And the economy is only now recovering all the jobs lost amid the pandemic. Biden’s brags about record job creation ...
Unborn life needs strong national protection

After almost five decades of struggle, culminating in the Dobbs victory, pro-life members of Congress should be emboldened to act and save countless lives. This is no time to relent. It is essential that they go on offense, and they must not let their confidence be shaken by the firestorm of pro-abortion fear and lies. One of these lies is that abortion will immediately be banned nationwide if pro-life Republicans win majorities in the House and Senate. The pro- life movement does seek to make abortion illegal and unthinkable, but consensus won’t be built overnight without any regard for what the will of the people can sustain. Another fear opponents are spreading is that there will ...
Biden’s border of death

More migrants have been found dead on the U.S. side of the southern border over the past nine months than have ever been recorded over a full year in history. In 2020, when then-President Donald Trump’s "Remain in Mexico" policy was in full effect, just 247 bodies were recovered by Border Patrol along the southern border. According to internal documents obtained by the Washington Examiner, 609 bodies have been found so far this fiscal year (beginning last Oct. 1) through June, a pace that puts us well on track for more than 700 deaths over a calendar year..........

BRET BAIER: You've been in politics a long time. Democrats in some states around the country are funding more right-leaning candidates thinking it's going to be easier for them. They did it in Maryland, Pennsylvania. They failed in Colorado. This can whip around them. NEWT GINGRICH: It's an a huge risk. You're faced with an American tsunami, not a republican. An American tsunami. You saw some of it just now. 38% increase in New York City in the last year. People are going to go out, look at their gas tank, look at their grocery store, and I guess the Republicans are going to pick up probably five or six Senate seats somewhere between 40 and 70 House seats. It won't be ...
Nancy and Paul Pelosi are trading large — with a wealth of hypocrisy
Post Date: 2022-07-24 15:06:29 by tankumo

Democrats have carved out quite a niche for themselves as the party of the have-nots, even if it’s mostly a hypocritical marketing ploy. Bernie Sanders, the socialist, lives a pretty non-socialist life with a town house, a vacation home and all the comforts of the bourgeoisie while he claims to champion the proletariat. There’s no shortage of similar examples. Recall the late Massachusetts senator and liberal icon Teddy Kennedy’s support of forced busing while sending his kids to private school back in the 1970s. The latest of these “freedom for me but not for thee” hypocrisies involves the matter of Paul Pelosi, the octogenarian hubby of Nancy Pelosi, the ...

Despite the media and Democrats teaming up with their dangerous and fascist January 6 Kangaroo Court, Donald Trump still beats Joe Biden in seven of the ten latest polls looking at a potential rematch.

Doesn’t Mayor Eric Adams read The Post? He must have missed the past nine months of our reporting on Joe Biden’s secret midnight flights bringing illegal migrants to New York from the southern border practically every night.

‘Woke’ Corporate Support of BLM Has Deadly Consequences

You’ve heard the chants in the streets of America: “Pigs in a blanket, fry ‘em like bacon.” You’ve seen the graffiti scrawled on walls and monuments and broken windows in the wake of “peaceful protests”: ACAB, which stands for “All Cops Are Bastards.” The lives of law enforcement officers who risk everything, every day, to serve and protect have been endangered by “woke” politicians, prosecutors, judges, and activists for years. In 2020, anti-police hatred intensified terrifyingly under the influence of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (“BLM”), whose rioters called openly for police officers to die......

IS LIZ CHENEY TOAST? A new poll in the Casper Star-Tribune shows Republican and Jan. 6 committee star Rep. Liz Cheney losing big to challenger Harriet Hageman in the Wyoming House GOP primary. The survey has Hageman's support at 52% and Cheney's at 30%, with minor candidates or undecideds making up the rest of the total. A 22-point lead is pretty hard to overcome with less than a month to go before the Aug. 16 primary. And remember, the Wyoming primary is a winner- take-all affair. Whoever gets the most votes wins the Republican nomination. There won't be a runoff or any other second act. The Republican winner then goes on to certain victory in November's general election ...
