Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) asserted Thursday night that President Trump needs congressional authorization for military action in Syria after Trump ordered an airstrike in the country following a deadly chemical attack earlier this week. "While we all condemn the atrocities in Syria, the United States was not attacked," Paul said in a statement shortly after reports that the U.S. had launched more than 50 Tomahawk cruise missiles against an airfield in Syria. "The President needs congressional authorization for military action as required by the Constitution, and I call on him to come to Congress for a proper debate," Paul said. "Our prior interventions in this region ...

Shortly after the news broke Wednesday that top Trump advisor Steve Bannon had been removed from the National Security Council's principals committee, Bannon attended an NSC meeting in the White House situation room, according to a source familiar with the events. On Wednesday morning, the White House confirmed that Bannon had been removed from the NSC's top committee, saying that the political advisor had been placed there in order to serve as a check on then National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, who was himself removed from the job after less than 30 days in office. Flynn was replaced by H.R. McMaster as National Security Advisor, and the former Lt. General has been given broad ...
BREAKING : Trey Gowdy Takes Over “Russia Probe”

On Thursday, Devin Nunes stepped aside on the Russia probe. His decision came in light of desperate liberals filing false “ethics” allegations against him. Nunes correctly stated the charges were false, but it was in the best interest of the probe to have someone else take over. And much to the chagrin of every liberal, pitbull Trey Gowdy is the guy taking over. Ha, ha, ha, ha. WASHINGTON — South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy will now be one of the top Republicans leading the House Intelligence Committee’s investigation into Russia. On Thursday Chair Devin Nunes, R-Calif., announced he was stepping aside in light of accusations filed against him in the Office of ...

Actor-director Clint Eastwood believes that Donald Trump is benefitting from a trend in American culture by saying what he believes, despite criticism from all sides. “He’s onto something, because secretly everybody’s getting tired of political correctness, kissing up,” Clint Eastwood said in an interview with Esquire. “That’s the kiss-ass generation we’re in right now. We’re really in a pussy generation. Everybody’s walking on eggshells.” Eastwood specifically cited Trump’s comments criticizing a judge who was born to Mexican parents, but indicated he was tired of the media fueled controversy “He’s said a lot of dumb ...
How Rand Paul suddenly became Donald Trump's best buddy

Rand Paul once called Donald Trump a "delusional narcissist" and an "orange-faced windbag." Which makes the fact that the Kentucky senator has emerged as the chief defender of the President's unproven claims of being wire-tapped by the Obama Administration all the more amazing. "This was a witch hunt that began with the Obama administration, sour grapes on the way out the door," Paul said Tuesday of the reported requested unmasking of Trump campaign officials by former national security adviser Susan Rice. "They were going to use the intelligence apparatus to attack Trump, and I think they did." (Paul took it even further, arguing that Rice ...
If You’re a Libertarian & Hate Rand Paul, You’re the Problem
Post Date: 2017-04-06 02:28:17 by Gatlin

I’m going to say this as simply as possible: Rand Paul is the best member of the Senate and the most libertarian leaning senator in over half a century, comparable to Robert Taft, who was the Senate Majority Leader in the early 1950s. Rand Paul was this man who in 2009 I remember seeing announce a bid for the Senate and felt it was kind of a long shot. He went up against a popular statewide-elected Republican in a primary, and via small online donations, a realistic take on libertarianism that fits the demographics of Kentucky, and a ton of work from volunteers, he won both the primary and general elections in landslide wins. He was elected to the Senate and for the last six years ...

This is some of the best news we’ve heard yet! Illegal immigration has plummeted since President Trump took office. At the Southwest border, illegal immigration is down 61% percent under the lawful eye of President Trump. Much more winning! Thank you, President Trump! From Washington Times Mr. Trump took a victory lap over the “record reductions” in illegal crossers, saying he is already saving Americans’ jobs by preventing them from having to compete with unauthorized workers. “Down 61 percent since inauguration.

Don’t believe the lying media when they tell you Americans are “unhappy” with President Trump. These are the same liars who spread fake polls for months and told you Hillary was going to win.

After Speaker Paul Ryan made a colossal mess of the Obamacare repeal, President Trump has opted to cut him loose from the upcoming tax reform proposal. Can you blame him? The day after Paul Ryan FAILED to pass the health care bill, he had the audacity to tell the press Trump’s “tax reform” would NOW be difficult to accomplish. Gee, Paul, sabotage much? From Breitbart Politico reported Thursday that President Donald Trump, chastened by his experience pushing for the failed Ryancare bill, is moving forward on tax reform with is own economic team in the lead–not Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI): Just on Thursday, President Donald Trump huddled with Treasury Secretary Steven ...

On Sunday, Russian President Vladimir Putin requested to meet with President Trump through his spokesman, who said the meeting would focus on building a relationship between the two powerful nations. Putin made headlines recently when he once again adamantly denied “tampering” in the 2016 presidential election. When asked if he had any involvement at all in the U.S. election, Putin pointed at his mouth and said, “Read my lips…NO!” From Washington Examiner Putin adviser Dmitry Peskov said on ABC’s “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos that Trump and the Russian president should “meet each other and exchange views” in order to build a ...
BREAKING : Schiff is Suddenly Weak and Careful, Likely Knows Obama Admin Spied
Post Date: 2017-04-02 21:33:13 by Gatlin

Anti-Trump zealot, and progressive hatchet man Adam Schiff, the top-ranking Democrat “investigating” Trump-Russia “collusion”, was oddly quiet, weak, and muted over his examination of official intel information proving Obama spied on President Trump. Schiff’s highly out of character reaction to the data was enough to make even the staunchest anti-Trumpers concede the documents are every bit as truthful and awful as Nunes said they are. In short, Schiff supported the validity of the information with his uncharacteristically weak response. It’s been a bad week for Schiff; earlier he had to admit there’s no “evidence” suggesting Trump and Russia ...

Conservatives say they’re up for any challenge from the right If President Donald Trump’s intention was to intimidate House Freedom Caucus members with his assertion on Twitter that “we must fight them” in 2018, it didn’t work.“If somebody can get to the right of me in the primary, God bless him,” Freedom Caucus member Trent Franks said.The Arizona Republican, who had learned about the president’s tweet from a reporter Thursday morning, provided a blunt response that captures the gist of the Freedom Caucus’ reaction to the threat, although several members didn’t go as far as Franks in stating their thoughts.But the sentiment is ...
It’s on: White House social media director calls for primarying Freedom Caucus member Justin Amash

Turns out when Trump tweeted early Thursday morning that we “must fight” the Freedom Caucus in 2018, that wasn’t just idle time-wasting while he was sitting on the can. Interesting that Dan Scavino, Trump’s official social-media guy, would zero in on Amash for threats instead of, say, Mark Meadows or Rand Paul, both of whom were more prominent critics of the failed House health-care bill. Amash’s sin seems not to be that he helped take down TrumpCare but that he’s been lippy about it. It didn't take long for the swamp to drain @realDonaldTrump. No shame, Mr. President. Almost everyone succumbs to the D.C. Establishment. https://t.co/9bDo8yzH7I — ...

WASHINGTON — A word of warning before President Donald Trump decides to go after U.S. Rep. Justin Amash next year: It's been tried before and it didn't work out too well.On Thursday morning, Trump, apparently still smarting from being forced last week to drop a plan to replace the Affordable Care Act in the face of conservative intransigence, went on Twitter to say his supporters "must fight" members of the so-called Freedom Caucus that opposed the bill, presumably drumming up opposition for them in next year's elections if they "don't get on the team & fast."That would include Amash, a Republican from Cascade Township, who was clear in his ...

WASHINGTON ― Within the Republican rat race to shift core principles and cozy up to the Trump administration, there’s one Republican in the House who seems totally uninterested in running the maze. When Donald Trump proposed a year of jail or loss of citizenship for burning the flag, this congressman said no president should be allowed to “burn the First Amendment.”When Trump said only the media thinks his potential conflicts of interest are “a big deal,” he quote tweeted the president-elect to say that it was indeed a big deal, affixing Trump’s hashtag, #draintheswamp.And when Trump indicated he would nominate Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) to be attorney ...

Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) was born in the United States, the son of a Palestinian refugee father and a Syrian immigrant mother. So perhaps it’s no surprise that he is one of the GOP’s most outspoken critics of President Trump’s immigration order. “I’ve had both of those aspects in my life — the immigrant aspect and the refugee aspect,” Amash said in an interview Wednesday on Capitol Hill. “I believe it’s important that we remain a welcoming country, that people feel they have the opportunity to come here and start a new life.” Amash is one of six lawmakers of Arab descent suddenly thrust into the spotlight thanks to a heated national ...

Representative Justin Amash (R-MI) hinted at a 2020 run during his speech at the Young Americans for Liberty National Convention. As one of the few libertarian Republicans in elected office, Amash is looking to continue the movement Ron Paul inspired. Amash is one of the few remaining left in the Never Trump movement and is actively looking to back someone besides the Republican nominee. Rare called him “the most high profile libertarian Republican in Congress after Senator Rand Paul” and one of the “two congressmen who are generally considered the most beloved by the Ron Paul-inspired liberty movement.” It’s important that we have a strong libertarian voice ...
