Blue Whale’s flourescent poo, Meet the Night Stalkers, Real life British Iron Man, Donald Trump Campaign Raises $3.1 Million in Small Donations During Impeachment Hearings, Deep sea recycling like you’ve never seen, and a whole lot more good stuff for November 19, 2019


Impeachment is not why Democrats will lose
And it won’t just be the popularity of President Trump and his achievements.
It’s all that weird stuff they’re proposing that no sane American will ever accept.
Negation of the 2d Amendment and confiscation of guns.
A ban on hate speech and Beto’s call to tax churches
Reparations for slavery.
Dividing our nation on the pigment of the skin.
Elimination of private health insurance in favor of government health care.
And, to top it off, the call to allow all illegal aliens stay, ending deportation.
The press covers the horse race of polls and primaries spiced with what are laughingly called debates. The media ignore the policy debate.
But voters listen. Ideas matter. They are voting for an American president. They expect him to be American.

Nancy Pelosi Posts ‘Urgent’ Impeachment Poll
URGENT POLL: Who deserves to be removed from office?
A: Trump
B: McConnell
C: Both
Trump has betrayed the Constitution and his oath of office, and Mitch McConnell defends him no matter what.
I need to hear from you ASAP! Respond to our urgent poll before midnight tonight.
— Nancy Pelosi (@TeamPelosi) November 7, 2019
But it backfired!
Regardless of her poll choices, the comments on her tweet were worth their weight in gold. So many people voted “D: You and Schiff” that if I posted them all here, this piece would be 5 miles long. But I picked out some good replies, please enjoy!
“Who thinks it’s disgusting pelosi son has connections to gas company in Ukraine even pelosi made promotional video for them. @SpeakerPelosi needs to be removed including Schiff since he had Ukraine connection with arms dealer ! I want transcripts of pelosi calls to Ukraine”

An abandoned airport that hasn't been touched in 25 years
There's a non-functioning plane still sitting in the abandoned runway. The Yak-40 aircraft carried former Georgian president Eduard Shevardnadze to Abkhazia in March 1993 to take charge of Georgian forces in the region.
Who’s even heard of this country? Let alone be able to pronounce it?
5,000 people used to travel through it each summer.
Will these baggage carousels ever carry anything again?

Meet the Night Stalkers,
the pilots who fly SEALs and Delta Force to their most dangerous and secretive operations
The unit was born out of the botched attempt to rescue hostages from the US embassy in Tehran in 1979, known as Operation Eagle Claw.
During that operation, eight US service members were killed, and the need for a specialized group of aviators became apparent.
Dead thanks to the stupid decisions of The Peanut Farmer.

The English language is important.
Why do Leftists always rise up against any suggestion of making English the official language of the United States?
Because our sense of community obviously depends heavily on it. Where a common language is present, it creates a cultural glue; where it isn’t, there are usually deep-seated divisions.
Nice, pleasant Canada has been nearly torn apart in recent decades by the presence of a French-speaking province, Quebec, in an English-speaking country. Equally nice, pleasant Belgium is perennially riven between its French-speaking and Dutch-speaking regions. Spain has been buffeted by an independence movement in Catalonia, where, despite the best efforts of the Spanish central government over the centuries, Catalan is still spoken by much of the population.
English marks who we are. To give it prominence in our country can only enhance our feeling of unity.
It really frosts me to get voting material and find it split into two sections; English and Spanish. I don’t live in Mexico, I live in Nevada, USA!

America's aging dams could put tens of thousands of people across 44 states at risk
And the Dims are so bent on their ignorant impeachment train that they refuse to even consider any legislation to fix this and other infrastructure problems.

1,700 are rated 'poor or unsatisfactory'

A more than two-year investigation identified 1688 high-hazard dams rated in poor or unsatisfactory condition as of last year
The dangerous dams were located in 44 states and Puerto Rico, and loom over homes, businesses, highways or entire communities
If they don't hold, the dams could unleash life-threatening floods - there have already been 1,000 dam breaks in 40 years that have killed 34 people
The actual number of unsafe dams is almost certainly higher, because some states declined to provide condition ratings for their dams
Why do we get this from a British newspaper/site instead of an American one?

Republicans spending millions at Trump resorts
Between 2012 and 2014, campaigns and political groups spent a combined $69,000 at Trump businesses, according to the report. But since June 2015, when Trump announced he was running for the White House, political spending at the president’s properties has topped $19 million. Some of the initial surge was related to the Trump campaign’s using a Trump company plane during the 2016 election, but much of the uptick comes from conservative candidates and groups.
And the left is screaming about it. Claiming he’s making money from his position as president.
So what?
“President Trump has perfected the financial shakedown of people seeking political influence as a way of life,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), a member of the House Oversight Committee. “This is now standard operating procedure in Washington. It’s pay-to-play all day.”
How does he know who stays there? He has nothing to do with the day-to-day operation.
At least another 179 foreign governments, businesses, trade associations and religious entities — some with interests before the federal government — have frequented Trump properties, according to Public Citizen, which gathered data from Federal Election Commission records, social media and news reports.
That includes 28 foreign governments — including Azerbaijan, India, Kuwait, Turkey, Ukraine, Malaysia, Romania and Saudi Arabia — as well as 41 conservative advocacy organizations, 51 businesses or business groups, 16 charities, 16 religious groups, 12 state or local groups, nine foreign businesses or business groups and six police or fire organizations. For example, T-Mobile executives stayed at Trump International Hotel in Washington while seeking a green light from the federal government for a merger with Sprint.
Do you think it could possibly be that they’ve learned just how good the properties are? With outstanding food and service?
“Trump Organization properties are world-class venues in destination locations that our supporters want to visit and are excited to attend events at,” said Kelly Sadler, spokeswoman for America First Action, a pro-Trump super PAC. “The staff is always respectful, professional and provides best-in-class service.”
Sadler said America First Action, which spent $545,000 at Trump properties since Trump’s election, pays fair market value for its events in compliance with FEC rules and guidance.

President Trump trimming the National Security Council
A lot of anonymous leakers are soon going back to their old jobs or are going to be seeking work outside the federal government. There are currently 174 at the White House, and Advisor O’Brien says the goal is to cut it down to about 120 – the number that was there during the GW Bush administration.
O’Brien started government service in 1996 and was a major in the US Army Reserve Judge Advocate General’s Corps. He’s got a lot of Dims upset because he’s a member of the LDS church.

Therapy Dogs Brought In For Stressed Out Staffers Of Impeachment Circus Lawmakers
Some cuddly canines are coming to the rescue of stressed-out Capitol Hill staffers.
Pet Partners, a therapy animal organization, and the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council are bringing a batch of furry friends to the halls of Congress.
Therapy dogs will be ruff-ing it on Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Room 902 of the Hart Senate Office Building and rooms 2043 and 2044 of the Rayburn House Office Building.
This has to be real as it comes from The Hill and The Western Journal.
I feel sorry for the dogs. We all know the Dims are so filled with hate that there’s no way they can possibly accept the love the dogs have to offer. I can see them now with heads on their paws and soulful eyes searching for someone to solace.

Russia sets up helicopter base in Northeast Syria after US withdrawal
Good news. Let them have it.The president is keeping his promise to get out of that mess.
Russia has announced that it set up a helicopter base at the northeastern Syrian city of Qamishli following the U.S. troop withdrawal from the area last month.
The Russian Defense Ministry’s Zvezda TV channel showed footage of helicopter gunships arriving at the base, which is protected by Pantsir surface-to-air missile systems.
The helicopters include two Mi-35 gunships and a Mi-8 military transport helicopter, with more to follow, Zvezda Tv said.
Right near the border with Turkey and Iraq.

Arizona looking for military personnel owed $2.3 million in unclaimed funds
If you were stationed at any of the following bases during the last 30 years, you may have money coming to you: Davis-Monthan Air Force Base; Luke Air Force Base; Fort Huachuca and Yuma Proving Ground, both Army installations; Camp Navajo Army facility; and the Marine Corps Air Station Yuma.
Someone has $86,034 coming!
These funds generally consist of money due to a person from old bank accounts, uncashed payroll checks, tax refunds, credit balances, rebates, returned deposits and dormant safe deposit boxes, officials say.
For information about the program, go to www.azdor.gov and click on the Unclaimed Property tab.
Pass this along to anyone you know who served there.

‘Go back to California’: Wave of newcomers fuels backlash in Boise
“If you come here and love it, everything’s fine,” Roscoe said. “If you come here and fly that California flag in your driveway and have stickers on your car that say, ‘Santa Cruz,’ there’s going to be some hard feelings.”
They bring their trash and want to foist it on the natives.
The Twitter squall started in late September, when former Boise State University football player Tyler Rausa went out to his car one day. There he found a professionally printed card, white with an elegant charcoal gray and gold border. It had a nicely centered, two-line message in all capital letters.
GO BACK TO CALIFORNIA
WE DON’T WANT YOU HERE
He posted it online with a very short response: “Hmmmm didn’t think I’d ever find this on my car in Boise. #ThankYou.”
Why the hell did he keep his California license plates?
They raise the cost of living and make it hard for the natives to get by.

Real life British Iron Man
I’ve seen all sorts of things dreamed up to allow individuals to fly. This one seems to work quite well. Just can’t see it carrying anything else beside the human so it really has no other valid reason for being other than to give someone a thrill.

Donald Trump Campaign Raises $3.1 Million in Small Donations During Impeachment Hearings

Let ‘em keep it up and watch the campaign coffers fill up.
When Dems & media go nuts @realDonaldTrump’s campaign gets stronger!
In 24 hours after #HearsayHearing:
✅$3.1M in small dollar donations

ICE official says feds identified over 600 migrant children being ‘recycled’ at the border by traffickers
At a hearing to evaluate border statistics during fiscal year 2019, which ended Sept. 30, Immigration and Customs Enforcement acting Deputy Director Derek Benner told the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee that the figure was a result of a DHS initiative called “Operation Noble Guardian” to identify situations “where fraudulent families were released into the interior, and then the children were separated from those unrelated adults and they were taken to an airport and flown back” to Central America.
Yet the Leftists are whining and crying about the fate of these darling children being tortured by separation from the loving parents.
Do you all get this? They bring these kids to the border and pass them off as their own children to gain entry to this country. Then, after they’re in ad reach wherever they plan on going, they load these kids on airplanes and send them back to be recycled again, Just another commodity for the human smugglers to use.

An Olive tree in Bethlehem that was there before Christ
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture, the tree is estimated to be around 5,000 years old. It extends over 250 sq m, stretches to around 13 metres in height, and its roots extend some 25 meters into the earth.
And one man guards it.
Over the years, the tree has been given a variety of nicknames; Abu Ali calls it “the fortress,” though it has also been dubbed “the old woman,” “the mother of olives,” and “Palestine’s bride.”
And the older the tree, the better the quality and taste of the olives – and the olive oil they produce.

Disney Puts “Outdated Cultural Depictions” Trigger Warning On Old Movies
Uncle Walt is turning over in his grave.
No longer socially acceptable;
Fantasia
Cinderella
Sleeping Beauty
The launch of the new Disney+ service in the United States made available many classic films, but they could not be presented without the need to genuflect to political correctness.
Movies including Dumbo, Lady and the Tramp, The Aristocats, Peter Pan and The Jungle Book all feature the trigger warning in their plot descriptions due to negative racial stereotypes like the Siamese cats in Lady and the Tramp, the Native American characters in Peter Pan, and the crows in Dumbo.
“This program is presented as originally created. It may contain outdated cultural depictions,” reads the disclaimer.

White House unveils rules requiring online disclosure of hospital prices
The Trump administration on Friday unveiled new rules to require increased disclosure of health care prices, in a move officials said would drive down costs by increasing competition.
One regulation would require hospitals to provide a consumer-friendly online page where prices are listed for 300 common procedures like X-rays and lab tests. A second regulation would require insurers to provide an online tool where people could compare their out-of-pocket costs at different medical providers before receiving treatment.
Got it?
What does an X-ray cost?
But… what does the hospital charge the insurance company versus what it would accept if the individual paid out-of-pocket?
As always, the Executive Order is a start but the details make all the difference.
Insurers have argued that price transparency could actually drive prices higher if low-cost hospitals can see that competitors are getting higher prices, and seek to raise them. Azar called that argument a “canard” and said in every other industry, price competition drives prices lower, not higher.
The same complaint BigPharma makes about the EO calling for opening of drug prices.

Trump pardoned a convicted war criminal and troops who have yet to stand trial
Trump signed an executive order to grant clemency to US Army 1st Lt. Clint Lorance, who was convicted of ordering soldiers to engage three unarmed Afghan men on a motorcycle, killing two of them in July 2012. Lorance served six years of his 19-year sentence.
Trump also signed an executive order to grant clemency to US Army Maj. Mathew Golsteyn, whose trial has yet to begin. Golsteyn stands accused of killing an unarmed Afghan man in 2010, and later disposing the body in a trash pit.
US Navy Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Edward Gallagher, a Navy SEAL who was demoted after a military trial found him guilty of posing in a picture with the corpse of an Islamic State militant, had his rank reinstated to Chief Petty Officer.
I object to “convicted war criminal” for Edit Gallagher. He was reduced in grade for posing with the body of a dead terrorist after a jury of his peers found him not guilty of ridiculous charges.
Lorance can’t get back the 6 years he lost but will be able to stand straight in front of the world.
Military leadership has been whining that this “degrades the military justice system.” These men were framed during the Obozo anti-military years and I’m glad to see this president set things right.
They're taught to be killers and then sent out with the heavy yoke of ignorant Rules of Engagement. And, let them do their assignments to the best of their ability, some desk jokey decides to punish them for it.
God Bless President Trump for doing this!
Military leaders are worried that Trump pardoning troops accused of war crimes will impair the justice system and undermine overseas bases @ https://www.businessinsider.com/military-leaders-worry-that-trump-pardons-will-impair-justice-system-2019-11

Deep sea recycling like you’ve never seen
Nature doesn’t waste anything. And there’s always a bigger, hungrier creature lurking around.

New Zealanders Are Keeping Their Guns And Buying More
The prime minister doesn’t look happy, does she?
After the March 15th “terrorist attack,” Kiwi politicians demanded the ban of all “assault weapons”, calling them to be turned in by owners.
The December 20th deadline for New Zealanders to turn over their banned firearms to the government in exchange for some cash is quickly approaching, and perhaps will see a surge of turn-ins right before the deadline. Right now it’s looking like not only are many gun owners determined to hang on to their firearms, they’re going to add to their collection or maybe even pick up a firearm for the very first time as well.
Seems there’s a loophole in the demand. Bunny Guns, semi-automatic caliber .22 rifles with 10 round magazines are okay. And, they’re selling like crazy.
And these are only those reported by licensed gun dealers. One has to wonder how many other, larger caliber, weapons are coming in “under the counter?”

Heating Up Your Car This Winter Could Get You Fined In Massachusetts
Lord but it’s stuff like that makes me happy to live in Nevada – in spite of the heavy-handed Harry Reid Political Mafia here.
Mass Live reported Thursday that Massachusetts law Chapter 90 Sec. 16A states: “No person shall cause, suffer, allow or permit the unnecessary operation of the engine of a motor vehicle while said vehicle is stopped for a foreseeable period of time in excess of five minutes.”
This means that idling one’s car for more than five minutes “could result in a $100 fine for the first offense, and up to $500 for each subsequent offense,” the outlet reported.
Got that? You must get into a car covered in ice, start it up, and drive it away. Wonder what that’ll do to engines? You darned well better have the right lubricants and anti-freeze.

So, in other words, they’re (minorities) not stupid
Poll: 53% of Black Voters, 60% of Other Minority Voters Say Media Are Trying to Help Impeach Trump
What’s more, 58% of voters who say they are watching impeachment news “very closely” believe that most journalists are trying to help impeach the president, while only 34% say they’re just trying to report unbiased news.
I’d love to see a similar survey asking their opinion on the Dims behind this whole farce.
HA HA: Impeachment poll: Trump’s approval rating back up to 50%. Oft evil will shall evil mar… @ https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/impeachment-poll-trump-back-up-to-50

Radical Chic, the Geritol years
The irony isn’t lost on reasonable people that Jane Fonda, who wishes to usher in a socialist utopia in America via the Green New Deal, is unwilling to continue to be arrested because of the likely length of her next sentence. If she is put away for a month, she says it will interfere with her upcoming filming schedule for the next season of Netflix’s Grace and Frankie. She would suffer financially, as would the production and her cast mates.
As Mark Steyn once wrote, “When the British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan dumped some of his closest cabinet colleagues to extricate himself from a political crisis, the Liberal leader Jeremy Thorpe responded: ‘Greater love hath no man than to lay down his friends for his life.’”
Like a Zombie, she just keeps coming back. Appears she dropped Ted Turner and replaced him with another boy-toy.

Harvard nerd can’t figure out how Americans built Hoover Dam
You have got to read this crap to understand the sick mentality of these guys at Harvard. These are the ones teaching fresh, young minds. And it seems that a degree from there somehow bestows Godhood on the holder.
“Decades into researching this tremendous feat of engineering, the question of how Americans ever mustered the ingenuity, determination, and resources to pull it off remains veiled in mystery,” said Harvard researcher Pritam Singh,
Having given more guided tours to the dam than I can count, I can only tell you that this was one of the most well-planned, organized, and managed construction project ever. A well-organized company town designed for the worker’s families – only married men were hired. And a casino and Cat House conveniently nearby.

Trump's impeachment ire turns on Pompeo amid diplomats' starring roles
WASHINGTON —The Ukraine impeachment inquiry has created the first rift between President Donald Trump and the Cabinet member who has been his closest ally, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, according to four current and former senior administration officials.
I carefully read the whole article. And, to no one’s surprise, not one of the sources was identified. All hearsay.
Of all government departments, State, with it’s 75,000 political lifers who think they know best, is clearly the worst one for someone to try to carry out the president’s wishes.
After all, the president is charged with carrying out national defense and foreign policy.
Read the following and you’ll see what the President and Pompeo face.
In public testimony on Friday, Yovanovitch appeared to excoriate Pompeo for "the failure of State Department leadership to push back as foreign and corrupt interests apparently hijacked our Ukraine policy."
"It is the responsibility of the department's leaders to stand up for the institution and the individuals who make that institution the most effective diplomatic force in the world," she said.
According to administration officials, Pompeo's refusal to publicly defend Yovanovitch cemented a wider view within the State Department that he has enabled some of Trump's impulsive foreign policy decisions, such as the withdrawal of U.S. special forces from Syria after a phone call with Turkey's President Erdgoan.
"Pompeo is hated by his building," a person close to the secretary said, adding that he "feels the heat a great deal and feels it's personal at state."
In other words, she, not the president, is on the right track for the good of the nation.

Senior Trump advisers considered SABOTAGING him to force him to quit,
ignored 'wacky request' to fire federal judges and carry resignation letters with them, anonymous White House insider claims in tell-all book
You can see the Brits who wrote this in their version of The National Inquirer salivating over this book. They can’t wait to read it to see just what tripe it contains.
Tell-all book 'A Warning' depicts an administration rife with talks of insubordination and distrust of President Donald Trump
CNN obtained a copy ahead of the book's release on Tuesday
The anonymous author claims that Trump advisers brainstormed ways to expedite the president's resignation
They also allege that several top officials have already drafted resignation letters
The book describes one occasion where Trump allegedly moved to fire federal judges who blocked his executive orders
The author claims to be a 'senior official in the Trump administration'
It is said to be the same person who wrote last year's scathing op-ed about the Trump administration in The New York Times
The White House denied the book's claims after it was announced last month
Press secretary Stephanie Grisham charged that it 'presents a portrait that is the exact opposite of what the President actually is'
It will instantly hit #1 on the NY Times book list – which is a joke as it’s not based on the number of books bought by readers.
The article goes on and on with so much garbage that the local truck will have to make two trips to the dump.

The most dangerous countries in the world for 2020 revealed:
Interactive map shows Libya and Somalia are the riskiest but Nordic destinations are the safest
Interactive ‘Travel Risk Map’ reveals which countries are riskiest for road safety, security and medical matters
Countries that have the highest health risks include Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Yemen and North Korea
The least safe when it comes to security are Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, Iraq as well as parts of Nigeria
Places with biggest risk when it comes to road safety include Belize, Dominican Republic and Saudi Arabia
This is but one of the maps and something stands out to me – all that red directly to the south of the United States. But not once does the article mention those “high security risk” areas in Mexico, or Central and South America. I guess it doesn’t bother the Brits. But, it sure as hell should bother us, our media, and especially our politicians.

Blue Whale’s flourescent poo
Gotta have a little levity after all the depressing news.
Mr Wiese said whale poo is usually a 'pinky-red colour' because of the colour of the krill, but the bright yellow excrement left quite a streak in the ocean.
Now they’re gonna spend forever trying to discover why it happened and if any of the other blue whales in the area do the same.
Somebody’s tax money hard at work.
