Conway says Dems should call for calm, warns Reid to be "very careful"

Kellyanne Conway, President-elect Trump's senior adviser called on Democratic celebrities, including President for now Obama, and un-indicted felon Hillary Clinton, to go public and call for an end to violent protests over the democratic election results.

Conway also warned Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (aka "Hairy Weed") to "be very careful" about his personal attacks on Trump.

"I am calling for responsibility and decency. I hope President Obama says, 'Cut it out,'" she said on "Fox News Sunday." 

"Everybody is looking for a peaceful transition, and you have the Senate minority leader acting like a garden variety political pundit" [with the voice of a little girl].

"I think that the president of the United States, Secretary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, perhaps, others can come forward and ask for calm and ask for a peaceful transition and ask their supporters, which are masquerading as protesters now--many of them professional and paid by the way, I'm sure--ask them to give this man a chance so that this country can flourish," Conway added.

Conway, the first female to run a successful presidential campaign, warned Reid, who thankfully is about to retire in January, to "be very careful about characterizing someone in a legal sense" regarding the attacks he levied on Trump. She said, however, that she was not suggesting legal action was pending, [but if he wanted to, Trump could make Harry disappear].

Reid, in his supreme lack of infinite wisdom, said that Trump has the responsibility for healing a divided, post-election America and that he was "a sexual predator who lost the popular vote and fueled his campaign with bigotry and hate."

In truth, it wasn't bigotry and hate that fueled Trump's campaign, it was the failed policies of Obama and the left that did the fueling. The election, as they say, was a referendum on Obama, and the fact that Clinton was his political clone with a much shriller scream.

In typical intolerant liberal fashion, the nation-wide protests of the democratically decided election were violent and paid for, possibly by George Soros. In Portland, Oregon, one protester was shot, but I suspect he wasn't just singing "We Shall Overcome."

In another incident, a man was taken from his car by a pair of black men as a crowd on the sidelines watched the two punch and kick him because they assumed he voted for Trump. 

Conway called for peaceful demonstrations suggesting that some of the violent protesters are former Clinton-backers or paid professionals and "there for nefarious reasons."

"They are booing and spitting on us," Conway said. "I don't like it."

Conway said that Trump would consider amending ObamaCare "out of respect" for the president, after he met with the Celebrity in Chief on Thursday. However, that might not sit well with those who voted for him as he promised a complete repeal of ObamaCare.

"Mr. Trump has made it very clear what his health care plan would look like, and it's not ObamaCare," Ms. Conway told Fox News. And she also made it clear that Trump plans to get rid of the mandate that forces people to buy the plan.

The "stupidity of the American voter" was overestimated by Jonathan Gruber.

We shall also see what becomes of the proverbial wall that has been promised in his campaign. I hope Trump delivers on that, but it's going to be interesting to see if Mexico pays for the damn thing. More importantly, if he is able to stem the flow of illegal immigration, I don't care if it's a wall that does it or better border security.

The election victory of Donald Trump was spectacular. The defeat of Hillary Clinton and the look on her face was wonderful. 

But the tears shed by liberals who thought Hillary was a foregone conclusion to take over where Obama left off was priceless.

Ben Rhodes and Jonathan Gruber: counting on stupidity

Both Ben Rhodes and Jonathan Gruber seem to believe that the American people are stupid and deserve to be fooled, as long as it's for what they consider to be the greater good.

Gruber talked about how Obamacare depended upon the stupidity of the American voter in order to become a law, and because it was for Obamacare, it was for the greater good, in his mind. The administration knows best what's good for us.

Rhodes, on the other hand, bragged to the New York Tomes Magazine about the Obama administration's success in selling the Iran deal to the American people. He explained that they built an "echo chamber" to sell the plan and made fun of the young reporters who got their information from him.

The House Oversight Committee hearing was to called to look into White House "narratives" regarding the Iran deal after Rhodes shot off his mouth. 

Several senators tried to get Mr. Obama to fire Rhodes and a House committee looking into his braggadocio went forward with their hearing in spite of him not showing up to testify. Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) called on him but Obama shielded his appearance in order to conceal their embarrassment over getting caught with their pants down, much like Bill Clinton did on many occasions, but under different circumstances.

The White House used the old ploy, "executive privilege."

Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute, (they'll pick you up) a guy who is not known to smile or ever crack a joke, accused Rhodes of creating a "propaganda operation."

Ben Rhodes is a journalist like Kim Kardashian is an actress.

Of course, the Democrats could always count upon the committee's top liberal Rep. Elijah-Black-Lives-Matter-Cummings (D-Md.) to to after Republicans with the only arsenal in his quiver--the ad hominem attack--as he criticized the analysts they called while not inviting military generals who support the agreement.

The truth is, Obama fired all of the military generals who didn't agree with him and left a bunch of "Yes Men" in uniform to validate his views.

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) said that at least Cummings could question the witnesses who showed up, but Rhodes, he said, "didn't bother to show up."

Several GOP-ers wrote to Barack asking him to dump Rhodes, "before he further tarnishes the Office of the President," but we all know that it's too late for that.

The truth is, it's probably foolish at this point for the GOP to make a big fuss over this--the administration looks like lying idiots all by themselves. Just let Trump talk about this with Hillary when they throw down on the debate stage.

Gruber and Rhodes think they've pulled a fast one on the American people, but in fact, the only people who buy their bull are progressive liberals and they're not so American when you get right down to it. If they had their way, they would get rid of the Constitution and replace it with "Rules for Radicals."

Debbie Wasserman Schultz pulls a Gruber re Hillary

"I don't give a damn what James Comey says about his involvement with Hillary's personal server.

"Hillary isn't undergoing an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation; it isn't what they do, especially with people like our former First Lady and Secretary of State. It's a security inquiry, just like she said," the DNC Chair-dummy, Debbie Wasserman Schultz claimed, in other words.

Even with the FBI making it clear that what his people are doing IS A FREAKING INVESTIGATION WHICH IS WHY IT'S CALLED THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION!! the empty head of the Democratic party is insisting that Hillary Clinton isn't even the focus of the probe.

"Secretary Clinton isn't even a target of this inquiry, investigation, whateverrrr "I" word you want to use," Schultz lisped to Fox News. 

When Fox News asked her to back up her statement the ditzy Schultz claimed that she has "repeatedly been told that" but refused to say who told her. (Is it possible that she and Bill spoke about it during a quiet moment they shared?)

If Hillary Clinton's private server, which is in itself illegal to use in any government position dealing with classified material, is the intent of the investigation, how does that not involve the owner/user of that server? And why would Hillary Clinton's senior aides be interviewed about Hillary Clinton's server and their involvement with it, not involve Hillary Clinton too?

And why was Bryan Pagliano, the installer of that server for Hillary Clinton, granted immunity for his testimony about Hillary Clinton's server? 

The FBI had already confirmed in court papers that Hillary Clinton's "use of a private e-mail server" is the focus of the investigation. 

FBI Director James Comey even said that he was not familiar with the term "security inquiry."

Remember the words of Jonathan Gruber: "the stupidity of the American voter" made it important for him and Democrats to hide Obamacare's true costs from the public. "That was really, really critical for the thing to pass. But I'd rather have this law than not."

So perhaps for Debbie Downer, like Gruber, the ends justify the means, and the ends in this case is to get a felon elected president of the United States of America.

How crazy is that?

Hillary: I call them the Federal Bureau of Security Inquiries

You've no doubt heard the expression, "If her lips are moving, she's lying." Well, attribute that saying to people like Hillary Clinton, the "Mother of Mendacity." Is there anything she will not lie about? She even lies about not lying.

For months Clinton has lied about the FBI investigation into her private email server. She referred to it over and over as a "security inquiry." This server was used to send and receive classified government emails, some of which are known as "Special Access Programs" (SAP).

SAP has a higher level of secrecy than Top Secret documents because it contains information about field operations and names of agents that could easily get them killed--as dead as the four men in Benghazi who were killed having nothing to do with the lie that it was over some obscure video.

On Wednesday, FBI Director James Comey was asked by Fox News about Hillary's claim that the FBI probe was merely a "security inquiry."  Comey said that he doesn't know what the term 'security inquiry' means and added, "We're conducting an investigation . . . that's what we do."

When Comey was informed that Hillary Clinton uses the phrase "security inquiry," he reiterated that  he's "not familiar with the term security inquiry."

Comey was also asked about the timing of the investigation since Clinton is the presumptive Democratic felon presidential nominee. He said he'd rather do the investigation "well" rather than fast and he's not "tethered" to a schedule.

FBI investigators have been meeting with Muslim Brotherhood affiliated, wife of Anthony Weiner, and top aide to Hillary Clinton, the magnanimous Huma Abedin. They have also met with Cheryl Mills who walked out of the questioning when the questions got tough.

Clinton and her campaign team of miscreants have described the investigation (as to whether Hillary Clinton should be charged under the Espionage Act, or whether she has used the Clinton Foundation to help fund her campaign, which is illegal, or if her aides were given access to her password and thereby her server) as a security inquiry.

On "Face the Nation" this Sunday, Hillary used the term 'security inquiry' when asked how she would respond to people worried the FBI probe is a "big deal."

"I say what I've said now for many, many months," the Mother of Mendacity said. "It's a security inquiry. I always took classified material seriously. There was never any material marked classified that was sent or received by me, and I look forward to this being wrapped up."

But of course, the emails don't actually need to be marked "Classified" to be classified--that's only in the movies, and Hillary knows that, but, like another Democrat, Jonathan Gruber, she's counting on the stupidity of the American voter.

That's why we have the liberals on the far left--we want all the stupid American voters where we can see them.

9 Reasons Why the Iran Nuclear Deal Sucks

President Obama wanted the nuclear deal with Iran more than a crack addict who voted for him wanted another "hit."

So while Russia, China, Iran and Barack do a victory dance, something smells in Denmark. In fact, just by virtue of who is actually doing the victory dance, this should tell you a lot about what this deal really does for Iran and to the USA and our ally Israel. Without a doubt, it will make Iran a stronger terrorist nation and significantly lessen our security in the West.

Let's look at why the deal sucks:

1. It boosts Iran's economy by lifting sanctions that have crippled the terror state's ability to fund other terrorist states and organizations such as Hezbollah, Assad's Syria, and the Iraqi militias. It also makes it easier for Iran to get their wish for the destruction of Israel and the death to all Jews as prescribed in the Koran. The deal will provide the Shi'ite state with $150 billion in revenue that will likely go to fund terror and build the best nuclear bomb delivery systems money can buy.

2. It prohibits nuclear site inspections by United States inspectors and the "anytime, anywhere" Obama administration claims to how these inspections will be carried out, it a lie. In fact, Iran can block access to inspectors to any undeclared nuclear site, and the only thing that would prevent these puss-bags from building a bomb on one of these sites would be a change of heart by the Iranians who still chant "Death to America, death to Israel." Once denied, the reason for denial is adjudicated by a committee which Iran also sits on. Next it goes through several other processes, also sat on by Iran. It can take up to 24 days before permission to inspect is granted, and by that time, "the coast is clear."

What are the chances of Iran developing a secret bomb?

3. The chanting "Death to America" has not stopped, so what makes anyone believe that the development of a nuclear bomb has stopped? The ayatollah has stated quite clearly that nothing has changed. America is still the enemy and they will continue to support the same terrorists they supported when this all began and John Kerry was being insulted and screamed at in Vienna.
"Eight, nine, ten. See? I can do it."

4. Obama's sidekick, Susan Rice, admitted to CNN's Wolf Blitzer that we can expect some of the money Iran will receive will be spent on funding terrorism and their military. 

"Yes, it is real, it is possible, and, in fact, we should expect that some portion of that money would go to the Iranian military and could potentially be used for the kinds of bad behavior that we have seen in the region up until now," the half-witted Susan Rice said.

Why is that possibility acceptable? Oh, right, Obama's girls will never have to serve in the military and his family is well-protected against any sort of attack. And Valerie Jarrett might just have an "in" in Iran. No worries, Mr. President.

Or else Barack Hussein Obama is so naive, he believes his own crap.

5. The releasing of American hostages was "off the table" for this deal. Why? Because our Secretary of State and the Obama administration doesn't have the balls to demand their release--or no deal. Like I said, Obama wanted this deal more than a crack addict wants his next hit.

Three men, the Christian missionary Saeed Abedini, our U.S. Marine Amir Hekmati, 
and Washington Post journalist, Jason Rezaian are being held in Iran and Obama-Kerry have been impotent to obtain their release. Robert Levinson, a former FBI and DEA agent, has been held hostage for over 8 years and his current whereabouts and situation are not known.

Just because Iran wants this issue "off the table" is no reason to obey them. I wouldn't have been surprised to see photos of Kerry with a leather obedience S&M collar being held by Javad Zarif, Iran's negotiator.


Sarah Shourd, a former Iranian hostage makes a good case for having included the hostage release as part of the nuclear deal.

6. Almost 80 percent of Americans think the nuclear deal with Iran sucks. We believe that lifting the sanctions was a bad idea according to an AP poll, which showed 77% of us believe sanctions should be kept or increased, certainly not lifted as this crappy deal spells out.

Relying on his ability to baffle with his bull, Obama is now on a two-month long campaign (as the legislative body has 60 to review this bad deal) to build support for his crappy deal. I suspect he will appear on The Daily Show and other late night spots to make his appeal to his base. Maybe, if we're lucky, he'll sing the blues in falsetto.

The Congress will begin the review process of this deal on Monday. Let us all hope they firmly reject it with a super-majority.

7. This deal will do nothing to stop China and Putin to supply the terrorist state of Iran with weapons to kill Americans and Israelis. 

Sergey Lavrov (Russia's Foreign Minister and the guy who was gifted with Hillary's "reset" button that really said "overcharged") confirmed that "weapons supplies will be possible" without impunity under this crappy deal. "Russia and China will continue to make weapons deals with Iran under U.N. procedures."

Fox News' Charles Krauthammer said about this issue that "the net effect of this capitulation will be not only to endanger our Middle East allies now under threat from Iran and its proxies, but to endanger our own naval forces in the Persian Gulf. Imagine how Iran's acquisition of the most advanced anti-ship missiles would threaten our control over the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, waterways we have kept open for international commerce for a half century."

8. Israel is thrown under the bus at the end of the day as Obama kicks the can down the road. 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the U.S. lawmakers to hold out for a better deal adding that there is no way the U.S. can compensate Israel if the deal goes through. He believes the deal only delays Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons.

Obama is betting his nation and ours that he's wrong.

"Everybody talks about compensating Israel," Bibi said on ABC. "If this deal is supposed to make Israel and our Arab neighbors safer, why should we be compensated with anything?"

9. Finally, if Iran was using its Uranium enrichment facilities for peaceful purposes, why were they built with military-type structures underground? 

Basically, he's a schmuck
Iran has never told the truth about anything they were planning to do militarily. Their promises with this deal is merely what is known by Islam as "taqiyya," or lying in service of furthering Islam.

Picture this: the USA is a big, green frog, and Iran is a dark, slimy scorpion. We are trusting the scorpion to carry us across the pond.

Obama is counting on "the stupidity of the American voter," as Jonathan Gruber pointed out regarding the passage of Obamacare. 

Of course, Gruber was talking about the voters who believed his lies--we refer to them as "liberals."

The Most Transparent Thing About Obama is His Lack of Transparency

Exclusively using a private email server as secretary of state is perhaps illegal, but if not, we undoubtedly can agree that it's wrong and downright stupid. Hillary Clinton's judgment is clearly analogous to that of a liberal tweaking Chuck Norris's nose and then calling him a pussy. It's stupid and it's going to get you hospitalized with only Obamacare to depend upon. Good luck.

But the Obama administration has stepped away from Hillary on this latest scandal and as "the most transparent administration" in the history of the United States, wants to get to the bottom of this.


So, is the Obama administration the most transparent one ever to grace the White House?


The answer is clearly: hahaha hahaha NO!

Bill, Bull and Gruber

What do you get when you put Chris "Tingles" Matthews, Roland Martin and Bill Maher in the same room?

You get more arrogance than farts in the toilet of an Irish pub on March 17th.

These libtards appeared on Maher's show "Real Time" last Friday and spoke about "The Wheeze" aka Jonathan Gruber. You know Gruber, he's the MIT genius who helped put together that clusterflub ObamaCare and talked on video about how the "lack of transparency" along with "the stupidity of the American voter" was needed to help get ObamaCare passed.

All three liberal, progressive Obama buttboys agreed that Americans really are stupid. But the funniest part of all was when Maher's audience laughed in agreement that they are stupid, proving Maher's point.

"Gruber was right. He just said what people don't want to hear," Maher said. The crowd just sat there guffawing and picking snot rockets, totally unaware he was speaking about them--the voters who supported ObamaCare.

Chrissy tried to deny calling Americans stupid but the group ganged up on him and he relented. In the military we had a name for people like Matthews, but I'll leave it to your imagination.

In my estimation Maher and his cretin panel are partially correct: some Americans are stupid, just like some Americans are racist. It's a numbers game. The thing is, the Americans who are stupid and also tend to be the actual racists liberals love to accuse (because they must bring race into every conversation) are the leftists who support idiots like Maher who makes his money from them while calling them stupid.

We've Been Grubered and We're Not Going to Take It Anymore

Say what you want about Jonathan Gruber, but he had a whole bunch of Americans fooled, including the biggest fools of all in the Obama administration.

After all the millions this guy made by federal and state governments to help design and implement the "Affordable" Care Act, (it isn't affordable but it is an "act") it seems like ObamaCare is not the panacea it was touted to be. Specifically, Gruber's predictions, his magic wand decrees used by government agencies to make critical projections regarding ObamaCare, held up like a balsa wood glider in a tornado.

Obama can deny Gruber's role all he wants, but the fact is, the arrogant dweeb visited the White House on more than a dozen occasions, and knowing just how "cool" Barry is, I doubt it was to party with him and Jay Z. And Gruber got paid $400 thousand in small, unmarked bills for his efforts. Prior to that, the man who called the American voter "stupid," worked with Gov. Mitt Romney.

By the time ObamaCare became mandatory, eight states gave the slimeball's firm six-figure contracts to analyze data and create computer models. Vermont and North Carolina have since fired the socially misfit leftist after seeing the videos where he told a group of progressives (who believed he wasn't referring to them as they laughed) that the only reason ObamaCare could pass is due to the obtuse way in which it was written and crediting "the stupidity of the American voter" to help pass the law. 

The rocket scientist wannabe never realized that he was being taped. Now that is stupid.

But while saying his show of arrogance to the American voter was dumb, Gruber's predictions of outcome were even dumber. The conservative think tank Manhattan Institute, and other institutions, have doubts that Gruber's predictions would play out.

His prediction that premiums would go down is balderdash. "What we know for sure the bill will do is that it will lower the cost of buying non-group health insurance," Gruber told the Washington Post in 2009.

The genius was wrong--premiums rose on average 49%.  It seems Guru Gruber failed to consider important factors that would add "between 20 to 80 percent to the cost of premiums under reform," Wellpoint, another think tank, wrote.

The "Wheeze's" analysis made incorrect assumptions. Gruber assumed that everyone would qualify for subsidies, and when he spoke before the Senate in 2009, he said ObamaCare would guarantee "sizable premium savings for [the] young" and that a typical family with an income of $38,000 "would save, on average, $8550.

That, as you know, never happened. 

Gruber even screwed up when he helped design a universal health care law for Massachusetts (called "RomneyCare"). 

When RomneyCare was passed, Mitt said, "Jonathan Gruber at MIT devoted hours and hours to an essential econometric model."

But all those hours and hours were wasted because predictions were off. One prediction said it would cost, on average, $200, but it actually cost $380, almost double.

Gruber weaseled his way out of blame by saying, "You know, we are suggesting a more comprehensive policy than the governor had originally anticipated, I think, when he said $200."

The CATO Institute concluded: "Gains in coverage have been overstated by nearly 50 percent, while costs have been understated by at least one-third." 

It seems the only thing Gruber got right is refuting Obama's lie of "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan .  .  .  " I still don't believe that makes him any smarter than, say, Joe Biden.
