I am not going to even try and pretend that Trump is innocent of a single thing.

I know a couple of very wealthy businessmen (both I am related to), and not a single one of them or their wealthy friends have been legit, nice, by the law in their adventures to gain and accomplish what they have.

Therefore, I would not expect that Trump was legit, nice, by the law in his efforts to achieve what he has accomplished.



But I do like the fact that Trump has done what several Presidents before him only spoke about, he recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

I like that he is doing things like one would in business (legit/legal or not).

I like how he manipulates the markets when he sees fat cats getting comfortable and thinking he is predictable.

I like how he gives the "News" the runaround.

I like how he has the libs so pizzed off they cannot see straight or even enjoy their recent meals.

I like how he has made the libs predictable and the entire world is watching their constant failures (especially Americans).

I like how he is dragging out the court process (by the time the re-election comes around, nothing will be accomplished and it will look like a win for Trump).

He has kept us out of war (which every President in my lifetime has had us in some form of war)(Isis existed before he ever took office).

Even if he sold out to the Russians, that has kept Russia so far from being a threat to us, which that has not been the case in my entire lifetime.

But for me, the most important aspect about having Trump as President, we did not have to suffer through 4 years of Hillbillary!!

Forget the tanks. Trump’s violation of the Lincoln Memorial is the real offense.

"The Mall is a place of public reconciliation.

Although originally conceived as a wide avenue in Pierre L’Enfant’s 1791 plan for the city, the Mall and its surrounding parks were configured in the early 20th century as a grand symbol of national reunification, centered on a monument to Abraham Lincoln, the man who led the country through civil war. From the Lincoln Memorial, one looks down the long expanse of the Mall to the Capitol, at the base of which is a monument to Ulysses S. Grant, who won the war against the South. And from the opposite side, one looks across Memorial Bridge, which connects the District to Virginia, and by extension, the loyal North to the defeated South. Memorial Bridge also joins the Mall to Arlington National Cemetery, where Civil War dead are honored along with those who have fought in battles ever since".

Trump asks Americans to 'stay true to our cause'

"WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump celebrated the story of America as “the greatest political journey in human history” in a Fourth of July commemoration before a soggy but cheering crowd of spectators, many of them invited, on the grounds of the Lincoln Memorial. Supporters welcomed his tribute to the U.S. military while protesters assailed him for putting himself center stage on a holiday devoted to unity".

Trump officials 'fear embarrassingly tiny crowd' for his Fourth of July speech

"Donald Trump‘s aides fear an embarrassingly small crowd may turn out for his tradition-shattering Fourth of July address in Washington DC, according to a report.

The White House has been trying to ensure a high number of attendees in the face of potentially poor weather and a free concert at the far end of the National Mall from the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Post reported".

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-speech-fourth-july-lincoln-memorial-crowd-size-a8987551.html

What does it matter how big the crowd is? By design, the crowd will be made up entirely of Trump supporters, donors, and administration officials. It's just like a Trump rally; an echo chamber where he believes that he and his policies are popular because those hand-picked people cheer at whatever he says.

He has millions of American taxpayers pockets he can pilfer in now. And he doesn't even have to tell you why or how much. The only thing he is saying, loud and clear, F-U to the American people. "You're going to pay for my party". Because I said so. And that's all you need to know.

AP FACT CHECK: Trump often is wrong about military matters

"WASHINGTON (AP) — In his Fourth of July remarks, President Donald Trump will be celebrating the armed forces and showcasing what he’s done for them. But in recent days, he has falsified his record on military matters on several fronts.

He’s claimed, for example, that he came up with the “genius idea” of giving veterans private health care so they don’t have to wait for Veterans Affairs appointments, only to find out that others had thought of it but failed to get it done".

Why The Inspector General's Report On FISA Abuse Will Unleash Barr’s Investigation Of Spygate

The forthcoming report from the Office of Inspector General on potential Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse will finally unleash Attorney General William Barr, and when it does, watch out.

For the last month, conservative pundits have predicted the ever-imminent dropping of Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report on his investigation into the circumstances surrounding FISA surveillance of former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page. Horowitz’s report will likely provide new and damaging details surrounding the FBI’s use of the FISA court to spy on Page. More importantly, the conclusion of Horowitz’s probe frees Barr to conduct a broader and more exacting investigation into all aspects of the Russia collusion hoax.

-----------------

When Barr is turned loose some democrat's and past/present employees of the department of justice will be squealing to save their hides. On top of this Hillary will not be protected anymore by the likes of Comey. The President is taking his time to get all of the ducks in a row. Facts that even the national news media will have to acknowledge. Americans have been waiting for this day since the Russiagate hoax was first pushed on our nation.

Obama-linked activists have a ‘training manual’ for protesting Trump

Organizing for Action, a group founded by former President Barack Obama and featured prominently on his new post-presidency website, is distributing a training manual to anti-Trump activists.

https://nypost.com/2017/02/18/obama-linked-activists-have-a-training-manual-for-protesting-trump/

---------------

This is treason.

You lean so far right with this stretch of the truth, you fell over. Another far right made up lie.

Is Obama ‘Commanding’ an Army of 30,000 Anti-Trump Activists from His Home?

"On 13 February 2017, InfoWars.com (the web site belonging to excitable conspiracy theorist Alex Jones) posted a story reporting a claim that former United States President Barack Obama was marshaling an “army” of 30,000 foot soldiers while choosing to live near the White House in order to plot against his successor, President Donald Trump".

http://www.snopes.com/fact-check/obama-army-anti-trump-activists/

The Republican lie machine got at least some of that tall tail from this story. By the time the head conspiracy nut Alex Jones got through twisting it around for those just waiting to hear some tall tail, Hell, Obama is leading thousands and giving them training manuals. The more you talk about it the more silly and made up it sounds. It's sad the silly and unfounded in the truth that some people will believe. Far out conspiracy and lie are all they have.


Obama's army takes on Trump

"CHICAGO — Walk into Organizing for Action’s new hipster downtown hardwood space here, and there’s no big picture of Barack Obama, just a deep blue wall with a giant “OFA” painted in white.

Look down the street from the front door, though, and Chicago’s Trump skyscraper looms directly in the line of sight, a perpetual reminder of the group’s new purpose.

Fresh off a huge win for anti-Trump forces in the Obamacare repeal fight, the Democratic activist group is gearing up for its next showdown this fall — battling President Donald Trump’s proposed budget cuts with the same state- and district-focused strategy it employed on health care. The organization inspired by Obama hasn't heard from him in months, though a person close to the former president said he's likely to lend his support later this year to OFA as well as the Democratic National Committee and the National Democratic Redistricting Committee. That could include fundraising and other help, but not a direct leadership role".

US to pursue citizenship question on census but path unclear

"WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department said Friday it will continue to look for legal grounds to force the inclusion of a citizenship question on the 2020 Census, hours after President Donald Trump said he is "very seriously" considering an executive order to get the question on the form".

http://www.apnews.com/3a2d495a3a54429dbf164ca84486ecf9



WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Friday he is "very seriously" considering an executive order to try to force the inclusion of a citizenship question as part of the 2020 Census.

Speaking to reporters as he departed the White House for a weekend in New Jersey, Trump said the idea is among four or five options he's considering as he pushes the issue.

"It's one of the ways that we're thinking about doing it, very seriously," he said, despite the fact that the government has already begun the process of printing the census questionnaire without that question.

Trump's administration has faced numerous roadblocks to adding the question, including last week's Supreme Court ruling that blocked its inclusion, at least temporarily. But Trump has insisted his administration push forward and suggested Friday officials might be able to add an addendum to the questionnaire with the question after it's already printed.

An executive order would not, by itself, override court rulings blocking the inclusion of the citizenship question. But such action from Trump would perhaps give administration lawyers a new basis to try to persuade federal courts that the question could be included.

"Executive orders do not override decisions of the Supreme Court. Thank you to our founding fathers. How is an Executive Order trying to override a Supreme Court ruling going to fulfill Trump's promise to support and defend the Constitution of the United States? Once again, the orange dictator wannabe wants everything his way. He thumbs his nose at the oath he took.

How Fake News Could Lead to Real War

"Who really bombed the oil tankers in the Persian Gulf two weeks ago? Was it Iran, as the Trump administration assured us? Or was it Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates or Israel—or some combination of the three?

Here’s a confession from two former senior government officials: For days after the attacks, we weren’t sure. Both of us believed in all sincerity there was a good chance these actions were part of a false flag operation, an effort by outsiders to trigger a war between the United States and Iran. Even the film of Iranians hauling in an unexploded limpet mine from near the side of the tanker, we reasoned, might be a fabrication—deep fake footage just like the clip of Nancy Pelosi staggering around drunk".

Trump Dismisses Bad Conditions In Detention Centers Amid Jarring Reports

Just remember, we didn't have this problem. Not to this depth, before Trump. All this mess was started from Trump's policies. And because of his attitudes, we as Americans will take the hit for all of it. Our taxes are higher. Our yearly return lower. Cost of goods and services are higher and when Trump has a whim to throw a big shindig he has us, the taxpayer to pay for it. While our country gets trillions deeper in debt.

US pride hits a record low, poll shows

I still have pride in America, but zero pride in our leaders.

Why are democrat's still talking about affordable health care for all? Didn't Obamacare take care of that? that's what Barack Obama, Nancy Peloci and Chuck Schumer all promised.

Obamacare generated a welfare insurance program on the back of the middle class. While those in the middle class have insurance the out of pocket now is SO HIGH they can't afford to use it.

My guess is Obamacare was designed to devastate the middle class and when Hillary was voted in Medicare for all (socialistic and all government controlled) would have replaced it.

Some in our nation ignore the fact that the government is the most inefficient organization to run something.

Old but still relavant.

Trump's base is wising up

"President Donald Trump said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and still count on his base’s support. Media, politicians and longtime political operatives predicted again and again that this (whatever the outrage of the day) would be the final straw. Not repealing Obamacare as promised? Nope, that had little if any effect. Equating neo-Nazis and anti-Nazi protesters or endorsing Roy Moore or siding with Russian President Vladimir Putin over his own intelligence advisers? Nope, nope and nope".

September 10, 2018

]At this writing only 20% of the country still stood with Trump. That's been a pretty good ways back. I'm sure it's dwindled to even less by now. Some people finally wake up. Some never do.

The US system, however, really only offers two options, so while fewer people identify with parties, those are the options they have on Election Day. That's, in part, how someone like Trump can lose the popular vote, but win the Electoral College. So does half of the country approve of the job he's doing? Did half the country vote for him? Again, not exactly. The 82% of the Republicans who approve of the job he is doing only translates to 20% of the country, overall. If you take CNN's approval rating number and party identification and break it up into segments of the total population, only 20% of the US population over the age of 18 are Republicans who approve of Trump.

"Detailed new research by the Democratic voter-targeting firm Catalist found that the party's big gains in the 2018 congressional election were fueled not only by unusually high turnout among voters sympathetic to the party, but also by larger-than-expected defections from the GOP among voters who had backed Trump two years earlier".

Latest Trump news to reach England says he made several errors in his Independence Say celebrations speech. At one point he blamed not being able to read the teleprompt in the rain (reasonable) but at another time he claimed he knew the speech any and didn't need the telepromt! Really? So why did he use it and make mistakes, like referring to airports that existed in the year 1775? The whole thing was about Trump and not about Independence Day as it should have been.

The other news is that he plans to include a question on the next census about citizenship. The Supreme Court has ruled that he can't do that and they take precedence over his executive orders, but he is still insisting that the question will be asked - even though the printers have already started to print the census forms!

What an arrogant idiot he is!

History

Breitbart News is a conservative news and opinion website founded in 2007 by Andrew Breitbart (1969–2012). He was a conservative commentator and entrepreneur “a former liberal from Los Angeles who became a conservative” wrote Jonah Engel Bromwich of the NY Times. Breitbart News under his leadership generated news coverage that was praised by the right for its populist, anti-establishment voice, on the left however, he was also accused of being a provocateur and misleading. Andrew Breitbart also co-founded the Huffington Post.

After Andrew Breitbart died in 2012, a former investment banker for Goldman Sachs, Stephen Bannon became the executive chairman of Breitbart. Under Bannon, the website became more nationalist and a vocal outlet of the alt-right movement. According to Sarah Posner from Mother Jones, during her interview with Bannon, he described Breitbart News as “a platform to the alt-right.” Bannon, who was chief executive of the Trump campaign, and then White House chief strategist for seven months before returning to Breitbart News, had stepped down from his position at Breitbart in 2018.

Larry Solov is the co-founder and CEO of Breitbart News and Alex Marlow serves as editor-in-chief.

Funded by / Ownership

After the death of Andrew Breitbart in 2012, Larry Solov became CEO and president of Breitbart News. In 2017, according to Politico, Larry Solov revealed the owner of Breitbart as “himself, founder Andrew Breitbart’s widow, Susie Breitbart, and the Republican mega-donor family, the Mercers.” Further, Solov also made a statement that he wants “to disclose as little as possible about financial and ownership structure.”

Analysis / Bias

Breitbart consist of various sections called Big Government, Big Journalism, Big Hollywood, National Security, Tech, Sports, and Wired.

Breitbart uses sensational emotionally loaded language in their headlines such as “Obama Loses 2 Million+ Followers During Twitter Fake Account Purge.” They utilize sources such as tabloid entertainment magazine Variety, and credible sources such as Bloomberg. as well as factually mixed sources such as the Daily Mail. Under the Big Hollywood section, they publish tabloid stories such as “Fashion Notes: Melania Trump is Posh and Proper for Final Day in England” utilizing fashion sources such as farfetch.com

In general, the majority of published stories favor the right and are highly pro-Trump in tone and story selection.

Russian State TV Laughs at Trump’s Fourth of July Parade

"A Russian state TV news program laughed at President Donald Trump’s Fourth of July parade this week. According to the Washington Post, the hosts of Rossiya 1’s 60 Minutes program ridiculed everything about Trump’s “A Salute to America” military extravaganza.

One of the hosts, Yevgeny Popov, chided the president, saying sarcastically, “The greatest parade of all time is going to be held today in Washington, that is what our Donald Trump has said.”

Popov roasted Trump, saying, “The American president announced he would show us the newest tanks.” But, “these are Abrams and Sherman tanks, used during World War II and withdrawn from service in 1957".

"The Trump administration has been labeled "inept", insecure and incompetent in leaked emails from the UK ambassador to Washington.

Sir Kim Darroch said that the White House was "uniquely dysfunctional" and "divided" under Donald Trump.

But he also warned that the US president should not be written off.

The Foreign Office said the leak of the memos to the Mail on Sunday was "mischievous" but did not deny their accuracy".

TRUMP, JULY 4, 2019

"In June of 1775, the Continental Congress created a unified army out of the Revolutionary forces in camps around Boston and New York and named after the great George Washington, Commander in Chief. The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of Delaware, and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown. Our army manned the airports, it ranned the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do. And at Fort McHendry, under the rocket's red glare, it had nothing but victory."


This is what Fox News has done to many people in this country.

Ten warning signs of a potentially unsafe group/leader.

1. Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability.
2. No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry.
3. No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget, expenses such as an independently audited financial statement.
4, Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies, and persecutions.
5. There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil.
6. Former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect a similar pattern of grievances.
7. There are records, books, news articles, or television programs that document the abuses of the group/leader.
8. Followers feel they can never be "good enough".
9. The group/leader is always right.
10. The group/leader is the exclusive means of knowing "truth" or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible.

Ten warning signs regarding people involved in/with a potentially unsafe group/leader.

1. Extreme obsessiveness regarding the group/leader resulting in the exclusion of almost every practical consideration.
2. Individual identity, the group, the leader and/or God as distinct and separate categories of existence become increasingly blurred. Instead, in the follower's mind, these identities become substantially and increasingly fused--as that person's involvement with the group/leader continues and deepens.
3. Whenever the group/leader is criticized or questioned it is characterized as "persecution".
4. Uncharacteristically stilted and seemingly programmed conversation and mannerisms, cloning of the group/leader in personal behavior.
5. Dependency upon the group/leader for problem solving, solutions, and definitions without meaningful reflective thought. A seeming inability to think independently or analyze situations without group/leader involvement.
6. Hyperactivity centered on the group/leader agenda, which seems to supersede any personal goals or individual interests.
7. A dramatic loss of spontaneity and sense of humor.
8. Increasing isolation from family and old friends unless they demonstrate an interest in the group/leader.
9. Anything the group/leader does can be justified no matter how harsh or harmful.
10. Former followers are at best-considered negative or worse evil and under bad influences. They can not be trusted and personal contact is avoided.
