YES, THAT JUST HAPPENED: Dilbert Slams Climate Profiteers

Say, is that Michael Mann, the emininent climate *cough* scientist?

The People of the Bubbles

Imagine you are flying over an American suburb in Middle America, say in Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, or Pennsylvania.

You hover over a cul de sac, where kids ride tricycles and Moms share a glass of wine after work and chauffering their charges around to soccer practice.

In fact, you can see that most of the homes are inhabited by two-parent families. If you asked the parents' primary motivation for living in suburbia, most would tell you they've moved for the K-12 education the local school district affords.

These families have also moved for a certain quality of life, mobility and access to grocery stores and malls. Life for many is relatively easy. Certainly there are worries: how to pay for college 10 years hence or how to fund the roofing contractor who says he can fix the worsening leak in the family room.

For good or bad, these families are living in a bubble of our society's creation. Problems in this bubble are those of the First World.

WAPO GOES FULL MOONBAT: Says Trump Deserves to be Impeached or Something

By William Teach

It’s the height of irresponsibility for the Washington Post. But then, rather than being a news organization, they’ve finalized their switch to being part of The Resistance. They would never have allowed an op-ed stating that Barack Obama should be impeached (I intentionally picked an over-the-top article), and typically shot down those few people who overtly called for Obama’s impeachment. But, now, they have a moonbat Resistance movement to pander to, as written by Laurence H. Tribe, a Carl M. Loeb University Professor and Professor of Extra-constitutional Law at Harvard Law.

ABOUT TIME: Trump Goes on Offense

By Matthew Vadum

President Trump went on the offensive this week against critics and conspiracy theorists who have been attacking him over his decision earlier this week to fire long-embattled FBI Director James Comey.

Trump fired Comey on Tuesday without warning, three-and-a-half years into his 10-year term, explaining in a letter that his employment was being terminated based on the recommendation of the Department of Justice. Both Republicans and Democrats have been furious with Comey in recent years because the unelected official inappropriately injected himself and the FBI into political matters.

FAUXCAHONTAS FLUBBER: Elizabeth Warren Stabs at Trump, Ends up Pounding Hillary Instead

By William Teach

Senator Fauxcahontas (interestingly, Google doesn’t like to autocomplete that word) made an interesting point while going completely off the reservation during a commencement speech:

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) took multiple swipes at the Trump administration Hillary Clinton during a commencement address Friday, days after President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey.

Warren pivoted to Trump Hillary during a speech at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, offering suggestions for specific causes graduates could get more involved in.

IT’S OVER: Wikileaks Nukes the Trump-Russia Story From Orbit, Leaves Only Planetary Debris

#FakeNews media, quarterbacked by CNN, continue to market the "Russia hacked the election" meme, 24x7.

If I'm in an airport, it's certain that CNN is droning on, using the same comedians lightweights that completely missed the Trump phenomenon.

And all of this despite more than a dozen officials (of both party affiliations) who have publicly stated there was no Russia-Trump collusion.

Well, Wikileaks has just published an excerpt of the book Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign. It's by a bunch of Democrat insiders. And it's stunning.

I'll cut to the chase: within 24 hours of their crushing election defeat, Hillary Clinton and her campaign aides created the "Russia hacked the election" meme from whole cloth. Yes, it's true:

STUNNING REPORT: Bizarre and Unprecedented Treatment of Clinton Aides Led to Comey's Dismissal

One of the best, most reliable, and largely unsung real journalists is Bill Gertz of The Washington Free Beacon.

Gertz's stories are unflaggingly accurate and his network of insiders -- over the course of multiple administrations -- is as good as it gets.

With that said, Gertz published an important article this morning. Read the whole thing, but this particular part grabbed me, because it smells like real news. In other words, the opposite of Jake Tapper's odor.

QOTD: "...pathetic Democrats were caught so utterly off-guard, and were so completely bought-into their spittle-flicking Comey hate, that their 180 from calling for Comey’s head to calling for his restoration will give them mental whiplash. They’ll be in figurative neck braces just like the one their hero Ted Kennedy wore after he left Mary Jo in the pond.

The morning of the day that Trump canned Comey, the Dems were in high dudgeon over Comey’s “correction” of his Senate testimony regarding how many classified emails Huma sent to her overexposed spouse. It was a lot less than what Comey told Congress…under oath…when everyone was watching. No biggie. He “clarified” it afterwards, so it was all good.

When normals give false testimony under oath, we call it “perjury,” and Comey’s former subordinates frog march them into federal prison. But when Comey does it, it’s merely an oopsie and he gets to shrug as the sad trombone blows." --Kurt Schlichter

LEGAL IMMIGRANTS VIOLENTLY OPPOSE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: Democrats, Felons Hardest Hit

J.D. Ma, Stanley Salazar, Biplab Pal, and Hongling Zhou are all American citizens. None were born here. At least three of them typically vote for the Democratic candidate. One lived in the country illegally before eventually getting a green card. All of them opposed bills to make their Maryland communities sanctuary cities:

MARVELOUS: Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) Introduces Massive Guestworker Program Plus Amnesty

By Grant Newman

On Thursday, Senator Ron Johnson (WI) introduced a brand-new approach to adding vast numbers of new foreign workers: state sponsored visas.

Under the State Sponsored Visa Pilot Program Act of 2017, states (or compacts of states) would apply for an initial pool of 500,000 “W” temporary guestworker visas for whatever skill-level of workers they want, regardless of their potential impact on American workers. Each state (plus D.C.) would receive 5,000 visas, then an additional 245,000 would be distributed proportionately based on the state’s population. If some states chose not to participate, their unused visas would be given to those that do participate the following year, ensuring that all the visas are handed out. Critically, unlike even the most flawed of existing guestworker programs, this new program establishes no uniform rules to offer even nominal protections for American workers.

The 10 Most Bizarre FBI Scandals Under James Comey’s Watch

By Grabien

The FBI interviewed almost every terrorist who successfully struck America

News broke yesterday that President Trump fired the director of the FBI, James Comey.

Comey will inevitably be remembered for the controversial role he played in the 2016 presidential election, where his agency conducted surveillance of the Trump campaign as well as investigated the Clinton camp for mishandling classified materials, giving both sides arguments for how the FBI ultimately swayed the vote. 

But even before the 2016 campaign, the FBI endured a number of humiliations under Comey's tenure. Most damning were revelations that the FBI was generally aware of almost every terrorist who successfully struck America over the last eight years.

Here are 10 of Comey's biggest embarrassments at the FBI:

QOTD: "What Comey did on July 5 of last year in announcing his decision not to recommend charges against Hillary Clinton in the email investigation was a travesty. If, as he and everyone else has said, it was the unanimous decision of those looking at all of the evidence not to seek an indictment, it was a misuse of his power and authority to take to a podium and criticize her for her behavior. Indeed, his speech was so savagely negative it sure sounded like he was going to announce an indictment referral up until the moment he declared he would not do so. That was not right, it was not just, and it was not proper. He cleared her by casting a giant shadow over her campaign. This was prosecutorial indiscretion, and in my view, Barack Obama should have fired him right then and there.

It was the shocking and confusing nature of his statement that led the House to call Comey to testify and promise he would keep its members up to date on any changes or alterations in the proceedings. So when the investigation into Anthony Weiner revealed he had emails on his computer forwarded to him by his wife Huma Abedin, Clinton’s closest aide, Comey indeed had no choice but to apprise Rep. Jason Chaffetz that the FBI was going to look at those emails to make sure they weren’t new and weren’t classified." --John Podhoretz

GOOD NEWS: Obama Foundation Headed Down the Same Nefarious Path as the Clinton "Charity"

By Mark Tapscott

Barack Obama’s presidential foundation is barely two years old, but he is taking it down the same controversial — and by some accounts illegal — post-presidency path of his predecessor Bill Clinton, according to documents reviewed by The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group.

Federal law requires tax-exempt entities like the Barack Obama Foundation and the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation to stick closely to their IRS-approved missions. For former chief executives, that mission has been building and operating libraries to house their official papers for posterity.

In a relatively unnoticed series of steps during the first six-years of its existence, the Clintons converted their foundation from focusing solely on the presidential library in Little Rock, Ark., to a $2 billion globe-trotting political influence-peddling machine.

WAIT, WHO ARE THE FASCISTS AGAIN? Professor says House GOP ‘should be lined up and shot’

By Anthony Gockowski

An Art Institute of Washington professor recently declared that House Republicans “should be lined up and shot” for their passage of an Obamacare-replacement bill.

“They should be lined up and shot,” Professor John Griffin posted to his Facebook, according to a screenshot of the post obtained by Campus Reform, even clarifying that he wasn’t being hyperbolic, saying “that’s not hyperbole; blood is on their hands.”
