From Blue Wave
to Blue Trickle to Blue Gurgle
Another one of
those headlines ya gotta love. Puts it right into perspective.
Something funny
is happening with the much-hyped “blue wave” on the way to the
fall midterms. That wave of Democratic candidates that is supposed to
sweep away the Republican majority in the U.S. House of
Representatives? The one that the press and pundits have been
predicting for months? One would almost think the steady narrative of
a blue wave is an attempt at psychological warfare by the mainstream
media and the Left in hopes of depressing Republican donors and
voters into thinking the outcome is a foregone conclusion.
But that
narrative is completely detached from reality. The numbers now tell a
different story.
The article then
includes a lot of surmise and possibilities ending up with this:
My prediction: I
don’t believe the Democrats will take back the House. Could they
gain 15-20 seats? Possibly, though I think even that number might be
too high. It’s not beyond reason that Republicans once again could
defy history, as they did in the 2002 midterms when they actually
picked up eight seats. And with the Senate map being a brutal one for
Democrats, they’ll likely lose seats in the Senate.
That last sentence
is the most important part of all. For President Trump to complete
the fulfillment of his campaign promises and to change the judiciary
and executive brancfhes, he’s going to need more GOP Senators.
FBI Field Agents
Want to Rat Out Hqs Crooks
The subpoenas
are desired by the FBI agents because it requires Congress to pay for
their legal fees and protects them from agency retribution.
If they come
forward on their own as whistle-blowers, they’re swinging in the
wind and open to retribution. And many of them are frustrated because
only a measly conviction rate of 47% in 2017.
He added, “I
can assure you I’ve been approached by agents who want to be
subpoenaed for the same reason the guys in the field,” adding, “All
over this country there are agents but the big ones the ones that
matter New York–Washington I can assure you I’ve spoken with
agents who want to come forward.”
Michael Caputo just
said on Tucker Carlson that his defense fund will pay the legal fees
of any FBI agents who want to come forward.

How disgusting can
the Left get! They’re doing everything they can to destroy Freedom
of Speech and will attack any and all who disagree with them.
Well-known
conservatives can no longer appear in public sans protection?

New reports from
Afghanistan give false hopes for peace
From reading this
piece, I can find absolutely no reason for any kind of hope in making
a peace agreement with the Taliban. It’s their way or no way, as
simple as that.
As US, European,
and Afghan officials cling to the idea that the Taliban will
negotiate a peace settlement to end the war in Afghanistan, a recent
string of news articles would lead you to believe that the Taliban is
actually willing to reach a compromise. However, these stories are
highly misleading and give false hope that an end to this 17-year
conflict is in sight.
The Taliban’s
leadership isn’t at all interested in making peace with – let
alone sharing power with – an Afghan government that it considers
to be an un-Islamic stooge of Western powers. The Taliban has
repeatedly ignored and rebuffed the Afghan government’s peace
offers, as it considers the Afghan government a pawn of the West. The
Taliban has stated time and time again that it is its religious
obligation to wage jihad, or holy war, in order to eject the
occupying forces and re-establish the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,
the name of the Taliban’s government.
When the Taliban
has previously discussed negotiations, it always has two
preconditions to talks: the withdrawal of foreign forces and the
return of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
To
put it more simply, the Taliban’s negotiating position is: first
the West and the Afghan government surrender, then we’ll talk.
Rohingya Muslims
in Myanmar massacred Hindus
And the Hindus
paying back is a bitch. The Left whines and snivels because the
Hindus have risen up and are returning the favor. The report doesn’t
come from a right-wing group. Amnesty International is somewhat left
of Marx and Lenin.
The
investigation suggests that a massacre of Hindu men, women, and
children in Ye Bauk Kyar happened on the same day, bringing the
estimated total number of dead to 99….
Donations to
Nunes Flooding In
The staunch
supporter of President Trump and committee chairman trying to get the
truth out of “Russian Collusion” charges got nearly $2.5 million
in six weeks. This raises his campaign chest to close to $5 million.
Why so much?
Because he’s a Republican in the Kalyfornya Commissariat.
Snowstorm in
Late May?
At least if you
live in Newfoundland, Canada.
Environment
Canada is predicting between 15 to 30 centimetres of snow for the
Grand Falls-Windsor, Bay of Exploits, Bonavista North, Gander and
Terra Nova regions.
Highway crews
started gearing up a couple of days ago.
"Obviously
our crews were switched to summer mode," Crocker said. "So
it will take us longer ... to get the roads cleared."

‘No Budget, No
Pay’
A Surefire Way to
Make Congress Face Down Nation’s Debt?
It sure makes a
heck of a lot of sense to me. Tell lawmakers that if they can’t get
down to work to perform their primary job of enacting a federal
budget they will get no money in their bank accounts. Simple.
“No budget, no
pay” is one heck of an incentive to compel Congress to take the
budget process more seriously.
Don’t expect
lawmakers to suggest effective ways to revive a process they’ve let
purposefully fall by the wayside. That kind of pressure—to perform
in their jobs or be held accountable—will need to come from the
outside.
There’s
absolutely no way they would do this themselves. Heck. The even
exempt themselves from laws the rest of Americans need to obey.
