Dems out of ideas, steal Trump's

In a clear sign of being devoid of any new ideas and a willingness to steal whatever they can from anywhere they can and claim that it's theirs, Democrats are now calling for the country to "drain the swamp." And the real irony is that it's those Democrats who dwell in the swamp that are calling for its draining.

The metaphor "drain the swamp" while originally referred to the method of keeping the mosquito population under control to combat malaria, it's now used to mean a way to fix problems within the federal government. It has been used most recently by President Trump during his 2016 campaign and thereafter, but it isn't a new term.

Drain the swamp may have been coined by Victor L. Berger (1860 - 1929) in his book Broadsides in which he referred to changing capitalism as "drain[ing] the swamp."

Winfield R. Gaylord (1870 - 1943) described the socialist desire to "drain" the "capitalist swamp." Gaylord was an idiot who never understood how capitalism made America wealthy and gave people the benefit of equal opportunity rather than his socialist desire of equal outcome, which is ridiculous.

In 1983 President Ronald Reagan called for "drain[ing] the swamp" of bureaucracy in the federal government, much like Trump is calling for today.

Pat Buchanan a 2000 presidential candidate and anti-Semite said in opposition to the dominant parties, "Neither Beltway party is going to drain the swamp: it's a protected wetland; they breed in it, they spawn in it."

Then in 2006 Nancy Pelosi [whose Native American name is "Dances with Dentures"] while announcing her 100-Hour Plan responding to the dominance of the GOP mentioned the term "drain the swamp." Then her hands went into severe spasms.

Others have also used that term but it is President Trump who currently seems to own it; at least until the Democrats are trying to take it back. They are using the familiar slogan and trying to act more like President Trump because they ran out of ideas after Lincoln was elected.

Because Democrats are predictable, owing to their identity politics and lack of creativeness, you can expect to hear the chant "drain the swamp" become their battle cry.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) [whose Native American name is "Nostrils with Zip Codes"] said, "President Trump has embraced the most egregious establishment Republican norms and appointed the most conflict-of-interest-ridden Cabinet in my lifetime."

He then added that "The swamp has never been more foul, or more fetid, than under this president."

Not true.

Under former President Obama, there was plenty of foul, malodorous gases coming out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue: Fast and Furious, Solyndra, the IRS scandal, the VA's deadly waiting lists, Hillary Clinton's illegal server and her deal with the Russians to sell them 20 percent of all our uranium, Obama's questionable business deals with coal mining, offshore drilling, cash advance companies and more and more and more.

So okay, you expect a swamp-dweller like Schumer to say things along the party line. But to use Trump's words about draining the swamp is actually funny. I hope the GOP deals with it properly.

It seems like all the Dems have are slogans, repealing the Second Amendment, identity politics, allowing illegal immigrants entry into the country and providing them with healthcare and jobs at the American taxpayer's expense.

You now have Hillary Clinton supporting Andrew Cuomo for his third re-election as Governor of New York, while not supporting Cynthia Nixon, a progressive who's running against him. Hillary laughed and pumped her fist in the air when Madeleine Albright told the crowd that there's a special place in hell for women who don't support women.

Words. That's all the Democrats have along with hypocrisy.

But to be fair, President Trump has also backed away from his campaign pledge of draining the swamp. Fox News' Neil Cavuto went after Trump and spoke to this problem:

"Let me be clear, Mr. President. How can you drain the swamp if you're the one who keeps muddying the waters?

"You didn't know about the $130,000 payment to a porn star, until you did. Said you knew nothing about how your former lawyer handled this, until you acknowledged today that you were the guy behind the retainer payment that took care of this. You insist that money from the campaign or campaign contributions played no role in the transaction. Of that you're sure. The thing is, not even 24 hours ago, sir, you couldn't recall any of this."

A lot of folks were really pissed off at Cavuto for this statement, but that's what you call journalism. I want Trump to succeed; many Democrats want him to fail, even at the expense of the benefit to our nation.

President Trump is not a paragon of virtue in his personal life--we all get it. He cheated on his first wife with Melania and had a romp with a porn actress when Melania was pregnant with his son Barron.

Obama's "Look! Squirrel" Strategy

It should have occurred to you by now that Obama and his team of crafty incompetents have been playing a game of "Mental Three Card Monty" on the American people. There is a strategy they are using and it seems to be working.

When a scandal breaks, and this only seems to happen once a week or more, the first thing they do is to tell the public that this is the first they heard of it. Good thing Obama was watching MSNBC at the time or, wait, not MSNBC, let's say Fox News, when they heard about Fast and Furious, or the IRS, or the Associated Press, or Benghazi, or Veterans Administration scandals. Had he not seen it on the tube, he would have been in the dark just like MSNBC.

Next, Obama and his peons tell the public that he/they are as outraged as they are and come hell or high water, they are going to get to the bottom of this doggone thing.

Then they wait long enough for another crisis to come along that gets the public's attention. I call this the "Look, Squirrel" strategy.

Now they tell the public that they've looked into the first scandal and found this to be a phony one. Nothing to see here, folks.

But if that doesn't work, they dismiss the scandal by saying crap like, "Dude, that was two years ago."

Hopefully, you will not fall for Obama's strategies; most conservatives don't.
Most of us see how nothing Obama was outraged over was fixed. Nobody was really brought to justice, and nobody was held accountable.

Dr. Shahil Afridi, who is still in prison for helping us get Osama bin Laden was not helped by us after all he had done for our country. He is still in a Pakistani prison.

Eric Shinseki is still the Veteran Affairs Secretary in spite of the extraordinarily gross mismanagement of the agency--even with Obama's full knowledge since 2008--and even with all the outrage Obama "mustered."

Saeed Abedini is still in an Iranian prison for the crime of being a Christian in Iran. He is an American and has been tortured extensively to the point where he was recently hospitalized for two months and the bastards even tortured him in the hospital. Obama is outraged, but Abedini hasn't felt any less pain by all Obama has done for him. Nothing. Just outrage.

The IRS scandal outraged Obama until it no longer did. Lois Lerner is still walking free amongst us--her head held high; her bouffant proudly blowin in the wind. She pleads the Fifth Amendment and so far, she and Eric Holder have not been made to atone for their contempt of congress.

We have veterans dead because they couldn't get admitted to a VA hospital (now 26 are involved in the scandal at this time), but we have Bradley Manning, a convicted traitor, who demands a sex change operation from the same hospital system that allows our veterans to die, and it looks like he may get his way.

 What used to be called "Aiding and Abetting the Enemy" is now called "Foreign Aid." 

What's wrong with this picture?

Tainting the Fifth

Why does Lois Lerner want a delay on testifying in front of Congress? Does she need to make back room deals with people up at the top? Does she think she's Superman's girlfriend and can do whatever she wants because she`s protected? Or does she simply want to cut a deal for immunity?

My guess is immunity.

This is what arrogance looks like

When she testified before Congress and said she was innocent and then "took the Fifth," it seems pretty obvious that she testified on her innocence and disqualified herself.

If Issa and his committee allow Lerner to have immunity, I think that would be a travesty of justice. I say, no delays, no immunity, and no Fifth Amendment.

What do you say?

The IRS is Watching and They're Everywhere

Fifty is the new forty, gay is the new normal, and the IRS is the new Gestapo. Now with the implementation of Obamacare, the IRS has become the enforcement arm of the "law," that has robbed over 6 million people of their original coverage, leaving them at risk of losing everything, should they undergo a medical emergency. The IRS now has incredible political power, and while Obama is busy getting to the bottom of this phony IRS scandal, nothing is actually being done and the IRS has grabbed even more power than it ever had. 

The IRS Plot Thickens, Bosserman and the Media Sickens

Barbara Kay Bosserman has been slated (no pun intended) to head the IRS Tea Party Targeting investigation, Stephen Dinan, of the Washington Times. reported on Wednesday.

 Babs is a trial lawyer who maxed out her legal campaign contribution allowance to Obama in both the 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns, donating to the tune of over $6000. She has also given generously to the Democratic party. While she is perfectly allowed to do this, it shows a clear political bias which, if she were being honest, would cause her to not accept the position. That's what honest lawyers do--they recuse themselves from cases in which there has been prior involvement; but Babs is the gift that keeps on giving.
