US elections

The expressions in this photograph are priceless.

I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYONE BRING UP WHAT SEEMS OBVIOUS TO ME. Donald Trump is working to bridge the gap between Mitt Romney and himself as part of his stated goal to unite the Republican party behind him. Romney, as his most vociferous critic, and also the highest status person in that wing of the party, can bring all other “Never Trumpers” around with him.

Trump's goal is to unite the entire country behind him. He's starting with the Republican party and with the party's former top Republican, Romney, by dangling in front of him the prestigious Secretary of State position. Brilliant? Certainly. We the people, and certainly we who have been Trump supporters from the beginning need to stop second-guessing our man and instead sit back and enjoy what he is unfolding before our wondering eyes. It's great and it's going to get even greater!

Hadding Scott has posted a good article at the CODOH website in response to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's over-reaction by Andrew Hollinger concerning Richard Spencer's Saturday night NPI conference in Washington D.C. Hadding writes:

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is obviously not just a museum, but has a mission of political propaganda in service to specifically Jewish interests. On Monday, 21 November 2016, the museum issued a public condemnation of statements reported to have been made by Richard Spencer in a speech at a conference of his National Policy Institute two days earlier, just a short distance from the USHMM. The museum declared itself “deeply alarmed” and called for action.

The text of the declaration makes clear that the author of the museum's proclamation did not even bother to make a careful determination of what Spencer had said, but simply trusted accounts given by news-media. The USHMM really did not have to rely on press-reports, since the conference was streamed live on YouTube, and the content was accessible immediately afterward. Because the USHMM relied on news-media, its account of what Spencer said is not entirely accurate. Continue reading at Codoh.com

I am walking with a cane (like the one pictured at right) and can drive now. On Wednesday morning, the day before Thanksgiving, I'll be walking out my front door, down the porch steps, down the walkway to my car which is temporarily, for convenience sake, parked at the end of it. I'll drive the six-eight miles down the local “highway” to Kerrville, take the cut-off road to the southeast section of town where the hospital and my surgeon's office is (and the post office where I have some mail waiting) for my first out-patient appointment with him. I will get out of my car and walk into his office, unassisted. How exciting is that!

Hello friends,

It's nice to be back. You may have noticed I have not posted anything anywhere since Oct. 23. But I want to begin this post by acknowledging my total elation at the election of Donald Trump, which I see as the greatest gift I could possibly receive. What a relief – and for the next four years I'll have the pleasure of watching this man act in our interests to reverse the terrible decisions and actions that have been put into place in our country. Yes, now I feel it is my country and I'm proud to be an American – not something I have particularly felt much during my lifetime.

Joe diGenova is a former US Attorney for the District of Columbia.

In an exclusive 26-minute video interview for The Daily Caller News Foundation, Joe diGenova answers questions about Clinton corruption regarding her emails, James Comey's "fake" investigation and failure to recommend prosecution of Clinton, and the very recent Project Veritas video by James O’Keefe featuring DNC contractors explaining their dirty practices to foment violence at Trump events. DiGenova claims it all comprises criminal activity and that President Barack Obama’s Department of Justice has “created a double standard for justice – one for the Clintons and one for the little guy.”

It's very informative and important to understand, so if you haven't yet seen it, you must go over to The Daily Caller and watch it now, preferably full screen. This former prosecutor doesn't mince words, for example, he calls FBI Director James Comey a “dirty cop.”

This is the video of Leslie Millwee describing her experience as a 20-year-old with Governor of Arkansas Bill Clinton in 1980.

A NEW BILL CLINTON ACCUSER HAS COME FORTH, which should give one pause about a Clinton presidential team taking office – that is, the governing team of Hillary and Bill.

Leslie Millwee, a married woman with children, appears in a video with Aaron Klein, recounting how Bill Clinton took advantage of her in a small editing room when she was a 20-year-old reporter. Millwee was working for a television news station in 1980 in the Fort Smith/Fayetteville, Arkansas market area. She said Clinton singled her out, calling her “pretty girl,” touching her and often asking after her at the station by name. Three times, she said, he came up behind her as she sat in an editing room chair and held her while he rubbed his genitals against the back of her neck. He eventually knocked on the door of her apartment one night, asking to be let in, she recounted, but she did not speak or open the door.

Andrew Jackson was elected President of the United States of America in 1828; Donald Trump will be elected 188 years later. What similarities do they share as political figures?

By Carolyn Yeager

FORGET RONALD REAGAN. TRUMP IS BIGGER AND BOLDER in his views and potential as a change-maker than our 40th president ever was. If elected, Trump will be equal to no less than our 7th president, the great Andrew Jackson.

I am not an expert on all the details of US history, but over the years I've come to appreciate Andrew Jackson to the point that I call him my favorite president. He was an interesting individual, and I like that he fought so hard for the people against the vested interests of the time, which were basically the same as now. I like that he put the American people, his people, first. He is nowadays condemned for the so-called “Trail of Tears” forced Indian relocation, and American schoolchildren are taught to see him as a terrible president for that reason. But I think he had his priorities straight in protecting his own people.

Khizr Khan holds up a pocket constitution during his speech to the Democrat National Convention in July, a move he admits he practiced beforehand to get just right.

By Carolyn Yeager

ACCORDING TO A REPORT at Brietbart News, the media have implied that Khan practiced law while working at the law firm of Hogan & Hartson in Washington. But that is not true.

Instead, he managed information technology services, or IT, for litigators during his 1998-2007 employment at the Hogan & Hartson firm (now Hogan Lovells), a predominantly Democrat shop with ties to the Clinton Foundation. His job apparently involved pre-wiring the projectors, monitors and laptops, and video conferencing equipment for lawyers making graphic presentations in court. He also helped lawyers search and managed electronically stored records.

After leaving Hogan & Hartson, Khan opened what he described on his business website as a “law office” in New York to, among other things, represent clients seeking E2 and EB5 immigration visas — a practice that Trump’s proposed moratorium on Muslim immigration would throw into jeopardy.

Get these people outta my party!! Left: Michael Chertoff, former head of Homeland Security; center: Dov Zakheim, former Undersecretary of Defense (Comptroller); Right: Robert Zoellick, former US Trade Representative and World Bank President, all signed the letter.

By Carolyn Yeager

AMONG THE THOUSANDS OF NATIONAL SECURITY and foreign policy positions (including Deputy and Special Assistant-level) in Republican administrations since Richard Nixon, fifty of them agreed to sign an open letter saying they won't vote for Donald Trump.

This was naturally carried as big news by the national media – presented as damning to the current Republican presidential nominee that these 50 mostly obscure names who held positions in a Nixon, Reagan, Bush Sr. or Bush Jr. administration (not necessarily even registered Republicans themselves) have come out publicly against him.

By Carolyn Yeager

SPEAKING ON A PAKISTANI NEWS PROGRAM, NUQTA-E-NAZAR, on Dunya News.tv, Khizr Khan said that “Allah makes people like Trump make mistakes to discredit them in public eyes forever.”

Khan, a Pakistani immigrant to the U.S. who has written scholarly treatises on Shariah Law being the highest legal authority for all Muslims, said Donald Trump is unacceptable to the U.S.! What is unacceptable is for a man in Khan's position to say such a thing. He is able to get away with it only because his son joined the U.S. Army and died in Iraq in 2004. This puts him off-limits to criticism because of what is called 'gold star families' (those who lost a family member engaged in the military defense of the USA).
