Pelosi Wants Social Media To Censor ‘Deceptive’ Videos  — Does She Include Those Pushing The ‘Fine People’ Hoax?

Speaker Pelosi wants to crack down on taking clips of a person ’ s speech interspersed with related video to make a point .
Will she condemn this one ?
After her speech-tearing stunt at the end of the President ’ s State of the Union , Speaker Nancy Pelosi revelled in her moment when she managed to grab the Media ( D ) attention away from the substance of President Trump ’ s superb State of the Union speech .
She defended the petty move by saying that there wasn ’ t a word of truth in the speech @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do.
” But then , Turning Point USA created a video of the powerful American stories that the President included in his State of the Union address and interspersed it with Pelosi ’ s calculated paper-tearing .
President Trump retweeted it .
That was when Pelosi nearly dropped her fake teeth because she realized how bad it made her look .
She immediately demanded that social media outlets censor the video because it was “ deceptively edited ” and “ fake news.
” Trending : Antifa Tinkerpots Don ’ t Want Their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s Share Them Far-N-Wide The thing is , it was Pelosi who has said that there was not one word of truth that the President said , and she did tear up her copy of the speech which included the stories .
The video was edited to make the point , but that ’ s how political ads work .
• Pelosi Wants ‘ Deceptive ’ Video Of Her SOTU Speech-Ripping Censored By Social Media • Did Nutty Nancy ‘ Pre-Rip ’ Her Copy Of Trump ’ s SOTU Speech BEFORE She Ripped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bros Shred Pelosi And We Mean , SHRED !
• SOTU Drama : Trump Refuses To Shake Pelosi ’ s Hand — She Tears Up Copy Of His Speech She still wants that video removed because it makes her look just awful .
But would she take that same concern over “ deceptively edited ” videos to ask that fake news videos that target President Trump be taken down ?
Here ’ s a very good example of one that needs to be removed under Twitter ’ s new guidelines for deceptive content @ @ @ @ @ @ @ video to push a lie for political purposes , and it has been repeated day after day for two and a half years .
The entire Media ( D ) has pushed the fine people hoax from day one and have not let up .
There was a brief reprieve led by Jake Tapper , I believe , but it quickly reverted to Trump is a racist stoking white supremacy .
Here is a longer clip by Now This that “ analyses ” the President ’ s presser , it ’ s pretty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which is spoonfed by “ senior political analyst ” Verna Sharma .
She begins by saying , “ From the department of you can ’ t make this sh*t up… ” Varma then proceeds to completely make things up .
I could fact-check Sharma , but this all happened two and a half years ago , and well , I am confident at this point that ClashDaily readers are well aware of the “ Fine People Hoax Funnel.
” You should know by now that videos by Now This are nothing more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just to be sure , here ’ s a Prager U explainer video on the Charlottesville “ Fine People ” lie : Here is the full context of the President ’ s comments where he condemns the white nationalists and neo-nazis .
Here is Trump condemning racists including white supremacists for nearly two decades .
Somehow , I don ’ t think that Speaker Pelosi will go to bat for the President against Now This and their fake news , do you ?

clashdaily--2020-02-11--Ilhan Omar Offended By Ted Cruz’s Statement On Faith And Patriotism… Cruz Takes Her To School

Ted Cruz doesn ’ t PICK fights… he FINISHES them .
Ilhan Omar took a run at Ted Cruz ’ s faith and patriotism .
That wasn ’ t a really bright idea .
Ted had gone on record talking about his faith , and something he said had the typical knee-jerk anti-Christian reaction .
Trending : Antifa Tinkerpots Don ’ t Want Their Pics Shared – So , Let ’ s Share Them Far-N-Wide It all began when she was quoting this Tweet from a relatively small and anonymous account : Ilhan Omar saw it and magnified it .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ her own words , she just shared it with the eyes staring sideways emoji : Normally , if you ’ re going to call someone out publicly like that , it ’ s a good idea to tag them so they can reply to it .
But she didn ’ t .
Somehow , it came to Ted ’ s attention .
Ted Cruz answered back… staring by addressing the emoji which showed her either confused or dismayed , and setting up a history lesson for her .
Having MORAL loyalties higher than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way hostile to his patriotism .
For one thing , there is nothing in Christianity that endorses one particular political system or allegiance that would conflict with civil order .
The Christian duties are moral ones , not civil ones… and included in Christian moral duties is an obligation to lawful citizenship in so far as sin has not been commanded .
It is this very principle that allows free citizens the moral freedom to disobey a non-lawful order , and the basis on which we held German SS officers accountable , refusing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of ‘ I was only following orders ’ .
Ilhan ’ s example of Islam in this quote an interesting one , because Islam doesn ’ t have the same clean divisions between secular and religious obligations that the West has come to take for granted .
This is EXACTLY the reason Sharia law becomes such a contentious issue .
In many important ways , it runs in directions explicitly contrary to the legal law of the land , while making moral demands on those whose religious convictions obligate them to accept it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fact , it goes out of its way to emphasize the inward and moral change of the individual believer over any outward and ( in modern terms ) political obligations .
For example : With George Washington and MLK Jr. calling us to the same ‘ Higher Loyalty ’ that even snake-in-the-grass Comey attempted to invoke in the title of his book , the real question is… … what inherent biases does Ilhan Omar have that make her chafe against such a deeply American sentiment ?

Ilhan Omar saw it and magnified it. Unable or unwilling to say anything in her own words, she just shared it with the eyes staring sideways emoji:

2/x George Washington wrote in 1778, “While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens & soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory….” — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) February 10, 2020
4/x Here’s how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. put it in 1956, “The Christian owes his ultimate allegiance to God, and if any earthly institution conflicts with God's will it is your Christian duty to take a stand against it.” — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) February 10, 2020
6/x MLK: “…Never succumb to the temptation of becoming bitter. As you press on for justice, be sure to move with dignity and discipline, using only the weapon of love. Let no man pull you so low as to hate him. Always avoid violence.” — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) February 10, 2020
Having MORAL loyalties higher than mere partisan political ones are in no way hostile to his patriotism.
For one thing, there is nothing in Christianity that endorses one particular political system or allegiance that would conflict with civil order. The Christian duties are moral ones, not civil ones… and included in Christian moral duties is an obligation to lawful citizenship in so far as sin has not been commanded.
It is this very principle that allows free citizens the moral freedom to disobey a non-lawful order, and the basis on which we held German SS officers accountable, refusing to accept as valid their pathetic excuse of ‘I was only following orders’.
Ilhan’s example of Islam in this quote an interesting one, because Islam doesn’t have the same clean divisions between secular and religious obligations that the West has come to take for granted.
This is EXACTLY the reason Sharia law becomes such a contentious issue. In many important ways, it runs in directions explicitly contrary to the legal law of the land, while making moral demands on those whose religious convictions obligate them to accept it.
Christianity has no equivalent. In fact, it goes out of its way to emphasize the inward and moral change of the individual believer over any outward and (in modern terms) political obligations. For example:
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. — Galatians
With George Washington and MLK Jr. calling us to the same ‘Higher Loyalty’ that even snake-in-the-grass Comey attempted to invoke in the title of his book, the real question is…
… what inherent biases does Ilhan Omar have that make her chafe against such a deeply American sentiment?


clashdaily--2020-02-11--Actress Cynthia Nixon Stumps For Bernie Saying She’s Tired Of ‘Crumbs’ And Demands ‘The Whole Pie’

There ’ s just nothing more noble than a multi-millionaire advocating for communism to help the common man .
Cynthia Nixon , the actress who is best known for her role as Miranda Hobbes in HBO ’ s Sex and the City , ( and who failed to defeat Andrew Cuomo for the race to be Governor of New York in 2018 , ) is now a big fan of Bernie .
On Monday Nixon appeared at a Bernie campaign event in New Hampshire .
She explains how in 2016 she was “ dazzled ” by the septuagenarian socialist but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to support — Hillary .
She ’ s making a different choice in 2020 , though .
Nixon said , “ We have made do with crumbs for so long and Bernie has said , ‘ Hey , we ’ re starving in this country .
We can ’ t subsist on these crumbs anymore .
Why can ’ t we demand the whole pie ? '
” It ’ s just so astounding how so many very , very rich people are demanding the redistribution of wealth so that the people who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their “ fair share.
” Nixon ’ s reported net worth is approximately $ 25 million , but she ’ s not handing that over to all of those people who she claims are subsisting on “ crumbs.
” Well , it would seem appropriate that an out-of-touch celebrity forced to live on her meager $ 25 million of “ crumbs ” would advocate voting for the multi-millionaire “ democratic socialist ” whose own net worth is approximately $ 2.5 million .
What could be better than multi-millionaires asking for more ?
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , no ?
Nixon is also very excited that Bernie has managed to shift the Democratic party further left and made socialism the mainstream .
At another event , while she is repeating the same speech , Nixon stops Bernie ’ s crowd from booing Hillary .
Actress Cynthia Nixon told a hockey rink filled with Bernie Sanders supporters to stop booing Hillary Clinton , after the ‘ Sex and the City ’ star told the crowd she had supported the former secretary of state for president in 2016 .
‘ Oh no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ oh no , we ’ re not going to do that here , ’ Nixon said , as a chorus of boos echoed around the Whittemore Center at the University of New Hampshire Monday night .
Nixon shushed the crowd and explained why she had liked Clinton – she ’ d be the first woman president .
‘ And I thought she was unbeatable , ’ Nixon admitted .
‘ And let me tell you , four years ago I listened to Bernie and I loved what he was saying , ’ she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ endorsing Hillary last time around .
‘ You know , did you ever do this , did you ever think like , I ’ d like to fall in love .
I ’ d like to meet the one , ’ she asked the crowd .
‘ And you make a list of what that person might be like ?
’ In short , in politics , Sanders fit the bill , much like ‘ my wife , ’ Nixon said to big cheers .
‘ That ’ s the thing about Bernie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to fight for him , ’ Nixon argued .
And fight they will .

Rush Limbaugh announced that he has advanced cancer. The American left and their fake news media minions went ballistic over Trump rightfully awarding the conservative talk radio icon the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Leftist hater Whoopi Goldberg said she thought the award is given to “people who have actually done something.” Other deranged leftists said Trump was out-of-order presenting the award to a mere radio host. These same progressives celebrated Obama presenting the award to mere actors, Robert Redford, Robert De Niro and Tom Hanks.
As expected, Democrats and fake news media chimed in with their standard baseless accusation that all conservatives and Republicans are racist. They absurdly claim Rush is a racist which makes Trump a racist for honoring him. My response is blah, blah, blah.
Please watch this 2 minute video in which I defend and express my respect and gratitude to Rush Limbaugh, a truly great American.

She is the one thing Democrats fear the most… an informed minority voter that asked the right (or wrong) probing political questions.
She was accustomed to the peer pressure to just go along with the consensus that black voters just *are* Democrats.
And then she started to ask herself why she, personally, was a Democrat… and took a closer look at the policies of the parties.
That’s what led her to a party switch.
Wow ?? A beautiful black lady says why she walked away from the Democrat party. At the end she said I had to get rid of my TDS and open up my eyes and actually listen to him (Trump) to understand that I was doing to him exactly what I don't want done to me, stereotyping…. pic.twitter.com/ZFzBL8Y5km — Go Trump ?? (@GKeile) February 12, 2020
She’s not alone.
She is part of a larger movement realizing the same thing people like Kanye West, Candace Owens and the #WalkAway movement have realized… the Democrats make grand promises they have no way of keeping, and the Republicans are getting the results they say will happen.
Democrats have had their chance and they’ve squandered it.
Trump’s question ‘what have you got to lose’ is making more and more sense all the time.
And now, that ‘lock’ the Dems thought they had on minority voters isn’t as solid as they once thought.


clashdaily--2020-02-12--Controversial Thriller Where Liberal ‘Elites’ Kidnap And Hunt ‘Deplorables’ To Be Released In March

The film ’ s original release date was canceled after the tragic mass shootings in El Paso , Dayton , and Gilroy .
The film was originally set for release on September 27 , 2019 , but after the three horrible mass shootings and outrage over the project , Universal Studios pulled the plug on the project with no expected release date .
Even the trailer was scrubbed from the internet .
Ads For New Movie Showing Liberal ‘ Elites ’ HUNTING Red State ‘ Deplorables ’ Has Been PULLED After Mass Shootings The original trailer showed the “ elites @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it seemed to be in rather poor taste considering the backlash that Trump-supporters receive .
Some conservative pundits were disappointed that The Hunt was shelved .
They said that the controversy over the movie was misplaced because the trailer shows a group of conservatives turning the tables and fighting back against their captors .
Even the President tweeted about it .
Universal Studios has used the earlier outrage to promote the movie for its March 13 release .
The Hunt ‘ s producer , Jason Blum , and screenwriter Damon Lindelof spoke about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with The Hollywood Reporter .
Blum and Lindelof said that there was widespread misunderstanding about the movie and are hoping to clear the air .
Blum said , “ It ’ s probably the most judged movie that ’ s ever existed that everyone who judged it hadn ’ t seen .
We weren ’ t going to win the conversation around that and so it was our decision , in holding hands with Universal , to take the movie off the schedule.
” Lindelof added , “ For us there was just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about the movie .
They were all talking about what their perception of the movie was — a perception that was largely formed based on all the events in the aftermath of the horrific weekend before .
[ But ] we really don ’ t want to be pointing fingers , and more importantly , we don ’ t want to be wagging fingers at anyone for overreacting or reacting incorrectly .
We just felt like the movie was being misunderstood.
” He also said that his inspiration for the movie was Jordan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Out .
Those who saw the movie in a test screening just days after the shootings didn ’ t find the movie provocative or connect it to the recent tragedies .
In an exclusive interview with THR , Blum and screenwriter Damon Lindelof — who shares credit on The Hunt with Lindelof ’ s Watchmen collaborator Nick Cuse — defend the film as an over-the-top , satirical take on the divided state of the union that is even-handed in its sendup of the opposing factions .
“ None of us were interested in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Blum says .
Directed by Craig Zobel , The Hunt casts Hilary Swank as the ringleader of a gang of wealthy snobs who try to wipe out a group of assorted individuals who have posted right-wing views online .
Though the “ elites ” supply their prey with guns , the playing field is not level .
But one woman , played by Betty Gilpin , turns the tables on the killers .
The new trailer puts a very different spin on the movie with the so-called “ elites ” looking just awful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heroes pushing back against them .
Blum and Lindelof are hoping that the President tweets about the movie again .
Asked whether there was any pushback from Universal about the film ’ s intense violence coupled with its political themes , Blum says , “ It was read as a satire , no different from The Joker or other movies that are violent , ” he says .
“ It was read as a movie that didn ’ t take sides.
” He analogized The Hunt with his successful The Purge franchise , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enough to know that what they ’ re seeing is a satire and it ’ s preposterous.
” Says Lindelof : “ We think that people who see it are going to enjoy it and this may be a way to shine a light on a very serious problem in the country , which is that we ’ re divided .
And we think the movie may actually , ironically , bring people together .
”

ClashDaily covered the original trailer here:
Ads For New Movie Showing Liberal ‘Elites’ HUNTING Red State ‘Deplorables’ Has Been PULLED After Mass Shootings
The film centers around 12 strangers from working-class and/or Southern communities who are referred to as “deplorables,” kidnapped and forced to partake in a gruesome battle royal organized by a group of “liberal elites.” But as the new trailer shows, the group in the film hatches a plant to fight back, launching a battle that blends over-the-top violence with political satire.

The original trailer showed the “elites” mocking the “deplorables” and it seemed to be in rather poor taste considering the backlash that Trump-supporters receive.
Some conservative pundits were disappointed that The Hunt was shelved. They said that the controversy over the movie was misplaced because the trailer shows a group of conservatives turning the tables and fighting back against their captors.
Even the President tweeted about it.
….to inflame and cause chaos. They create their own violence, and then try to blame others. They are the true Racists, and are very bad for our Country! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 9, 2019
Universal Studios has used the earlier outrage to promote the movie for its March 13 release.
The Hunt‘s producer, Jason Blum, and screenwriter Damon Lindelof spoke about the movie and the new release date with The Hollywood Reporter. Blum and Lindelof said that there was widespread misunderstanding about the movie and are hoping to clear the air.
Blum said, “It’s probably the most judged movie that’s ever existed that everyone who judged it hadn’t seen. We weren’t going to win the conversation around that and so it was our decision, in holding hands with Universal, to take the movie off the schedule.”
Lindelof added, “For us there was just a fundamental frustration that nobody was talking about the movie. They were all talking about what their perception of the movie was — a perception that was largely formed based on all the events in the aftermath of the horrific weekend before. [But] we really don’t want to be pointing fingers, and more importantly, we don’t want to be wagging fingers at anyone for overreacting or reacting incorrectly. We just felt like the movie was being misunderstood.” He also said that his inspiration for the movie was Jordan Peele’s horror film, Get Out.
Those who saw the movie in a test screening just days after the shootings didn’t find the movie provocative or connect it to the recent tragedies.
In an exclusive interview with THR, Blum and screenwriter Damon Lindelof — who shares credit on The Hunt with Lindelof’s Watchmen collaborator Nick Cuse — defend the film as an over-the-top, satirical take on the divided state of the union that is even-handed in its sendup of the opposing factions. “None of us were interested in taking sides with this movie,” Blum says. Directed by Craig Zobel, The Hunt casts Hilary Swank as the ringleader of a gang of wealthy snobs who try to wipe out a group of assorted individuals who have posted right-wing views online. Though the “elites” supply their prey with guns, the playing field is not level. But one woman, played by Betty Gilpin, turns the tables on the killers.
The new trailer puts a very different spin on the movie with the so-called “elites” looking just awful and the “deplorables” as the heroes pushing back against them.
Watch:
Blum and Lindelof are hoping that the President tweets about the movie again.


clashdaily--2020-02-12--They Go Low: Bernie Calls Trump Every Name In The Book (Video)

He might want to ask Marco Rubio about how well the fake tough guy act works out in battles with Trump .
The minute you start trading political punches and insults with Trump , you ’ ve already yielded Trump home-field advantage .
Besides , where was this ‘ fire in his belly ’ when he was up against Hillary ?
If he ’ d come out swinging against her , he ’ d have already had his turn to be defeated by Trump back in ’ 16 .

Or was he going for the same tired old cheap shot ?
In this one 30-second clip , somebody ’ s SJW bingo card is already full .
This isn ’ t the mark of intelligent conversation , it ’ s the mark of mindless repetition of empty partisan talking points .
And as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Does Bernie really think we all forgot the time when Bernie tried to disqualify a Trump appointee because of his personal religious convictions about heaven and hell ?
Does he have anything to say about the open bigotry among his own surrogates in ‘ the squad ’ ?
His other accusations are just as ridiculous .
Trump ’ s policies are making such a difference in the lives of Americans that minority voters who have voted Dem for generations are starting to view Republicans as a viable alternative .
Trump ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ positions — including several department heads and Kellyanne Conway as the first successful female Presidential Campaign manager — speaks for itself .
Whether he ’ s ‘ homophobic ’ or not is a quesiton you might want to throw over to Peter Thiel or Ambassador Richard Grenell , who is currently in the middle of an international push to decriminalize homosexuality .
But go ahead and throw around unsubstantiated personal attacks .
That strategy worked out so very well with Hillary .

Ok, seriously?
In this one 30-second clip, somebody’s SJW bingo card is already full.
Racist. Sexist. Homophobe. Xenophobe. A religious bigot.
This isn’t the mark of intelligent conversation, it’s the mark of mindless repetition of empty partisan talking points.
And as far as ‘religious bigot’ goes, Does Bernie really think we all forgot the time when Bernie tried to disqualify a Trump appointee because of his personal religious convictions about heaven and hell?
Does he have anything to say about the open bigotry among his own surrogates in ‘the squad’?
His other accusations are just as ridiculous.
Trump’s policies are making such a difference in the lives of Americans that minority voters who have voted Dem for generations are starting to view Republicans as a viable alternative.
Trump’s track record of hiring women for important positions — including several department heads and Kellyanne Conway as the first successful female Presidential Campaign manager — speaks for itself.
Whether he’s ‘homophobic’ or not is a quesiton you might want to throw over to Peter Thiel or Ambassador Richard Grenell, who is currently in the middle of an international push to decriminalize homosexuality.

clashdaily--2020-02-12--Democrats Are Experts At Fighting Wars That Are Over

In 1974 , Japanese explorer Norio Suzuki hacked his way into the Philippine jungle in search of the last known Japanese soldier who still believed he was fighting for the emperor in World War II .
Before long , Suzuki found his man : Lt. Hiroo Onoda .
The war had been over for 29 years .
Onoda was one of a handful of Japanese troops who never got word they had lost .
Never heard the call to surrender .
Now a middle-aged man in a tattered uniform , Onoda was not only doing his best to wage a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so devoted to his country and his emperor that he refused to come out of the jungle and go back home to Japan .
He stayed in hiding until he heard the order to surrender directly from his former commander .
Only then , when his former commander flew all the way to the Philippines to order Onoda to surrender , did the lone holdout stop fighting a war that had been over to the rest of the world for decades .
I can ’ t help but think about Lt. Onoda when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Donald Trump ’ s acquittal , the victories he is racking up and his rise in the polls .
The Democrats and the deep state launched a bitter and divisive war against Donald Trump before he was even president .
FBI Director Christopher Wray admitted just last week that the Bureau illegally spied on Trump associate Carter Page .
The FBI used the fraudulent Steele Dossier , which was bought and paid for from a foreign source by associates of Hillary Clinton and her campaign through the shady and shadowy Fusion GPS operation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pack of lies as an “ insurance policy , ” if you read between the lines of the amorous texts between FBI agents Peter Sztrok and Lisa Page , against Trump ’ s election .
This illegal spying on an American citizen , for the purpose of taking down Trump ’ s presidential campaign and then his presidency , based on a Clinton-engineered fraud on the American people , formed the basis of the Russia hoax .
That hoax stalked the first three years of Trump ’ s presidency but ultimately failed , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( and some of the deep state operatives should have been prosecuted ) .
But they didn ’ t and weren ’ t .
They waited a couple of weeks and then launched another deep state assault on President Trump .
From the Russia hoax they segued seamlessly to the Ukraine hoax , only this time they had an alleged whistleblower , and they actually impeached Trump .
Pelosi could no longer hold back her kamikaze troops in the House .
After months of tearing the country apart over nothing , drafting another @ @ @ @ @ @ @ articles of impeachment , the Senate examined the case and duly acquitted the president .
But even this clear outcome has not stopped the Democrat bitter enders .
The Democratic Party ’ s left wing is now obsessed with one thing and one thing only : Destroying Trump by any means necessary , even if they destroy the country and the Constitution at the same time .
They will lie .
They will support socialists .
Whatever it takes to get Trump .
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , who originally opposed impeachment but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on partisan votes , provided the first glimpse of the Democrats ’ obsession .
Immediately after President Trump delivered his brilliant State of the Union address , Pelosi ostentatiously ripped the text of the speech he had provided her .
That text was an official record .
Pelosi ripped it up please her far-left House Democrats and their deranged base , never mind how independent and Republican voters would react .
She didn ’ t care .
The following day she claimed she ripped it because it was nothing but lies .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump had told the truth , just as he did during the Russia hoax , and just as he did during Ukraine and impeachment .
So Nancy lied , and a few pages died .
And with them , any pretense that the Democrats aren ’ t , as James Carville noted this week , “ lost ( their ) damn minds.
” Rep. Jerrold Nadler provided the next view of Democrat obsession and descent into madness .
No sooner had Trump been acquitted — found not guilty — by the Senate , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ committee hearings and investigations .
“ The investigations and oversight will continue , ” crowed Rep. Carolyn Maloney of New York , right before she donned a threadbare Imperial Japanese Army uniform and followed her deranged commander Nadler into the Philippine jungle .
They ’ re obsessed .
Carville is right .
They ’ re losing touch with reality .
They have thrown everything possible at Trump , from the deep state to a deeply dishonest attempt to make him the first president ever forcibly removed from office , and he has only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ making them even crazier .
They ’ re fighting on long past the point of having lost the war .
Senate acquittal should have been their call to surrender , and fight Trump the way they ’ re supposed to — at the ballot box in November .
Comparing them to Lt. Onoda actually does him a disservice .
At least Onoda believed he was still fighting for his country and still following his commander ’ s orders .
Democrats like Pelosi , Nadler , Maloney and the insane clown posse of liberalism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of their party .
They abandoned the nation ’ s well-being long ago .
Pelosi has lost control .
Joe Biden has lost his faculties .

clashdaily--2020-02-12--New Hampshire Primary Results Were Absolutely BRUTAL For Sleepy Joe

How did a two-term Vice President in one of the most popular administrations in recent memory come in FIFTH in the New Hampshire primary ?
Simple : he ’ s an awful candidate .
Joe Biden has always been an awful candidate .
He was awful in 1988 , he was awful in 2008 , and he ’ s awful now .
It ’ s not just that he ’ s a mildly creepy , glad-handing gaffe machine with bizarre stories and an exploding eye , he is truly a terrible , terrible candidate .
Some might even be able @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would make a better candidate than Joe Biden .
Trending : Antifa Tinkerpots Don ’ t Want Their Pics Shared – So , Let ’ s Share Them Far-N-Wide He can ’ t even run on his record because it ’ s rather scant policy-wise — other than the successful 1994 Crime Bill that he ’ s now running away from .
Cracking down on crime is frowned upon by Democrats and leftists in the post-Obama era .
Even relying on the Obama name hasn ’ t helped Joe .
Of course , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Barry has likely hurt him a bit .
It was impeachment that has hurt him so badly .
Biden could not get away from his name being reported day after day during the impeachment hearing .
The Trump defense team was masterful in pointing out that there was something sketchy with Joe and Hunter Biden with regard to Burisma , and interfering in a Ukrainian investigation .
It looks like Hunter was profiting from the name Biden and that Joe was pulling his strings as Veep to get his kid off the hook @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up by your bootstraps ” kind of people and don ’ t like it when it looks like influence-peddling is lining pockets instead of achievement based on merit .
Iowa and New Hampshire caucus-goers voted accordingly .
Consider that Joe is now behind a “ principled and consistent ” octogenarian communist , the gay mayor of a mid-sized city who attempts to weaponize Christianity , a woman who has an anger management problem and reportedly throws office equipment at her staff , and a woman who can ’ t even tell stories about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ polls to figure out how to best shape the narrative .
It was a bad night for CNN ’ s cheerleading squad .
And to cap it off , Joe high-tails it out of New Hampshire and heads to the next campaign stop in South Carolina .
When he addresses the crowd , he steps in it by saying that “ Iowa and Nevada ” were just two of fifty states who have had their voices heard — but that should have been New Hampshire , not Nevada .

Even relying on the Obama name hasn’t helped Joe. Of course, not getting an endorsement from his friend Barry has likely hurt him a bit.
It was impeachment that has hurt him so badly.
Biden could not get away from his name being reported day after day during the impeachment hearing. The Trump defense team was masterful in pointing out that there was something sketchy with Joe and Hunter Biden with regard to Burisma, and interfering in a Ukrainian investigation. It looks like Hunter was profiting from the name Biden and that Joe was pulling his strings as Veep to get his kid off the hook.
Americans are the “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” kind of people and don’t like it when it looks like influence-peddling is lining pockets instead of achievement based on merit.
Iowa and New Hampshire caucus-goers voted accordingly.
Consider that Joe is now behind a “principled and consistent” octogenarian communist, the gay mayor of a mid-sized city who attempts to weaponize Christianity, a woman who has an anger management problem and reportedly throws office equipment at her staff, and a woman who can’t even tell stories about her own life without looking at the polls to figure out how to best shape the narrative.
It was a bad night for CNN’s cheerleading squad.

And to cap it off, Joe high-tails it out of New Hampshire and heads to the next campaign stop in South Carolina. When he addresses the crowd, he steps in it by saying that “Iowa and Nevada” were just two of fifty states who have had their voices heard — but that should have been New Hampshire, not Nevada. The Nevada Democratic caucus is on February 22.

Oh, Joe! That’s so awful!

clashdaily--2020-02-12--WTF? Financial Services Committee Member Rep. Rashida Tlaib Doesn’t Know Who Ben Bernanke Is

We ’ re not talking about a long-gone obscure figure here .
He was chairman of the Federal Reserve until 2014 .
You ’ d think that Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib ( D-MI ) who sits on the Financial Services Committee would know the name Ben Bernanke .
After all , he was the man who used some controversial measures in the wake of the ’ 07- ’ 08 financial crisis .
The man ’ s name was everywhere with both cheers and jeers .
Bernanke is now at the Brookings Institute and has written several books on both micro- and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about the financial crisis when he was Federal Reserve Chair .
Trending : Antifa Tinkerpots Don ’ t Want Their Pics Shared – So , Let ’ s Share Them Far-N-Wide Bernanke , the Fed chief from 2006 until 2014 , is now a distinguished fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington .
He singled out the panic that engulfed the financial system with the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. as the key reason for the depth of the recession back then… …Bernanke took issue with economists who contend that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ household wealth and consumer spending — was the main driver of the deep downturn a decade ago .
While that undoubtedly played a major role , particularly in sparking the crisis , Bernanke said the recession wouldn ’ t have been nearly as bad as it was if investors hadn ’ t yanked money out of banks and other financial institutions .
“ There was a run , a panic analogous to the 1930s , but in an electronic form rather than people lining up in the street , ” he said in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ credit plummeted.
” Source : Bloomberg Yet , Tlaib doesn ’ t seem to know who Bernanke is .
The shocking moment came during a Financial Services Committee hearing with the current Federal Reserve Chair , Jerome Powell .
Tlaib was urging Powell to bail out Detroit and Puerto Rico when she came across the name “ Bernanke ” in her notes and had no idea how to pronounce it .
It was rather embarrassing .
TLAIB : So when the feds step in to rescue banks in a crisis , is that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economy is vital ?
POWELL : Really , because we had no choice to prevent the financial system from collapsing in 2007 and 2008 .
TLAIB : My city filing for bankruptcy was devastating to so many retirees , sir .
40 , 50 years they worked for the city of Detroit , saw their pensions completely diminished , gone .
Do you not believe that the governments of Detroit and Puerto Rico also play a vital role that should be preserved even if a financial crisis makes it hard for them to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I believe is that it ’ s not a job for the Fed .
The Fed has a particular role and particular authorities , and lending to state and local governments , and supporting them when they ’ re in bankruptcy is not part of our mandate.
” TLAIB : We ’ re going to strongly disagree .
I do believe you do have the authority .
Now , you ’ ve mentioned that in the face of another financial crisis , you would use the same tools of expanding the balance sheet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ words , more of the same , correct ?
TLAIB : So I ’ m afraid that ’ s simply not good enough .
I think your predecessors , former chairs Yellen , and I believe it ’ s Bernanake , seemed to agree based on remarks both gave last month .
For instance , Chairman [ Bernanke ] has suggested a money finance fiscal program might be helpful during the next recession .
Do you agree with that would be helpful ?
POWELL : I think that ’ s really an untested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t believe Chair Bernanke said that a money supported fiscal policy would be something that we should do .
I know there ’ s been a group of people that have pushed that idea , but I don ’ t think it included former chairman Bernanke .
You may see something I haven ’ t seen .
TLAIB : I know .
And Chairman , look , the federal government is supposed to be about people .
I don ’ t see that we ’ re treating pensioners , a city @ @ @ @ @ @ @ front line communities that have really been hit hard by the financial recession .
They keep saying Detroit ’ s coming back .
If I show you neighborhoods , they ’ ll tell you , we don ’ t know what you ’ re talking about , because poverty ’ s actually increased , access to housing has decreased .
That moment where Chairman Powell correctly uses the name “ Bernanke ” in a sentence to gently correct her is just… awkward .
You ’ d think that there should be a basic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ financial crisis and the decisions made by the Federal Reserve Chair by every member of the Financial Services Committee .
The thing with Tliab is , she wears her ignorance on her sleeve .
But the big question here is , how many others are there on the House Financial Services Committee are just as ignorant and don ’ t make headlines ?

We’re not talking about a long-gone obscure figure here. He was chairman of the Federal Reserve until 2014.
You’d think that Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib(D-MI) who sits on the Financial Services Committee would know the name Ben Bernanke. After all, he was the man who used some controversial measures in the wake of the ’07-’08 financial crisis.
The man’s name was everywhere with both cheers and jeers.
Bernanke is now at the Brookings Institute and has written several books on both micro- and macroeconomics, as well as two books about the financial crisis when he was Federal Reserve Chair.
Bernanke, the Fed chief from 2006 until 2014, is now a distinguished fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington. He singled out the panic that engulfed the financial system with the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. as the key reason for the depth of the recession back then… …Bernanke took issue with economists who contend that the housing-price bust — and its impact on household wealth and consumer spending — was the main driver of the deep downturn a decade ago. While that undoubtedly played a major role, particularly in sparking the crisis, Bernanke said the recession wouldn’t have been nearly as bad as it was if investors hadn’t yanked money out of banks and other financial institutions. “There was a run, a panic analogous to the 1930s, but in an electronic form rather than people lining up in the street,” he said in the video. “The availability of credit plummeted.”

Yet, Tlaib doesn’t seem to know who Bernanke is. The shocking moment came during a Financial Services Committee hearing with the current Federal Reserve Chair, Jerome Powell. Tlaib was urging Powell to bail out Detroit and Puerto Rico when she came across the name “Bernanke” in her notes and had no idea how to pronounce it.

TLAIB: So when the feds step in to rescue banks in a crisis, is that because you believe their role in the economy is vital?
POWELL: Really, because we had no choice to prevent the financial system from collapsing in 2007 and 2008.

POWELL: “What I believe is that it’s not a job for the Fed. The Fed has a particular role and particular authorities, and lending to state and local governments, and supporting them when they’re in bankruptcy is not part of our mandate.”
TLAIB: We’re going to strongly disagree. I do believe you do have the authority. Now, you’ve mentioned that in the face of another financial crisis, you would use the same tools of expanding the balance sheet and purchasing long-term bonds, in other words, more of the same, correct?
POWELL: Yes.
TLAIB: So I’m afraid that’s simply not good enough. I think your predecessors, former chairs Yellen, and I believe it’s Bernanake, seemed to agree based on remarks both gave last month. For instance, Chairman [Bernanke] has suggested a money finance fiscal program might be helpful during the next recession. Do you agree with that would be helpful?
POWELL: I think that’s really an untested and not widely supported perspective. I don’t believe Chair Bernanke said that a money supported fiscal policy would be something that we should do. I know there’s been a group of people that have pushed that idea, but I don’t think it included former chairman Bernanke. You may see something I haven’t seen.
TLAIB: I know. And Chairman, look, the federal government is supposed to be about people. I don’t see that we’re treating pensioners, a city like the city of Detroit which is front line communities that have really been hit hard by the financial recession. They keep saying Detroit’s coming back. If I show you neighborhoods, they’ll tell you, we don’t know what you’re talking about, because poverty’s actually increased, access to housing has decreased.
Watch the awkward moment:
Rep. @RashidaTlaib, who serves on the House Financial Services Committee, seemed today to have never heard of Ben Bernanke before pic.twitter.com/PXuXtHVERo — Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) February 11, 2020
That moment where Chairman Powell correctly uses the name “Bernanke” in a sentence to gently correct her is just… awkward.
Also interesting was Rep. Tlaib telling Jerome Powell the Federal Reserve should bail out cities like Detroit, and also Puerto Rico pic.twitter.com/cgJJbN6knZ — Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) February 11, 2020
You’d think that there should be a basic understanding of something as huge as the financial crisis and the decisions made by the Federal Reserve Chair by every member of the Financial Services Committee.
The thing with Tliab is, she wears her ignorance on her sleeve.
But the big question here is, how many others are there on the House Financial Services Committee are just as ignorant and don’t make headlines?

Gee , do you think maybe it was something he said ?
Impeachment-crazy politicians at the Federal level missed no opportunities to wax eloquent about the moral duty that bound them to hound and harass the president with impeachment and a conviction .

“ Is this a prayer or a sermon ?

Speaking to reporters afterward , Grant stood by his remarks and called the Democratic response “ unprofessional.

“ If it ’ s my turn to have a voice , and I am a pastor , what do you expect from me ?

Grant did NOT come with the typical nicey-nice PC boilerplate blessing. He had some rather challenging things to say. While we don’t have the specific text of his prayer, or any direct quotes, here is how it was described:
Democrats walked off the floor of the House of Delegates Tuesday morning as the pastor invited to give the opening prayer delivered stinging remarks condemning abortion and gay marriage and said God would bring his “wrath” against those who don’t follow biblical principles.

It wasn’t that long ago when some media were interpreting one of the Senate Chaplain’s prayer as a veiled threat to the Senators, urging them to vote against the President… and those who took his words to mean that were more than pleased to praise him for it.
But let someone call out the actions of a Democrat, and everything changes, doesn’t it?

Under Democratic control for the first time in decades, the General Assembly is advancing legislation to roll back restrictions on abortion and strengthen laws protecting LGBTQ people from discrimination. — Virginia Mercury
Was this an example of a Man of God ‘speaking truth to power’ as Christians (and Jewish leaders before them) have done to their religious leaders since the earliest days of their faith?
Or was this guy out of line in using his invitation to the Legislature in this way?


clashdaily--2020-02-12--Happy Warriors: How Trump And His Team Talk About America

William James , an American philosopher and psychologist from the 19th century , once wrote , “ Pessimism leads to weakness , optimism to power.
” The truth of that statement has never been more evident than it is in the 2020 presidential campaign .
The turnout for Iowa ’ s GOP caucus was incredibly high , more so than many recent incumbents and attendance at Trump rallies have dwarfed those of his Democrat rivals in New Hampshire .
Trump and his team are generating a lot of enthusiasm and excitement wherever they go .
The Democrats , by contrast @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enthusiasm .
Why is that happening ?
One thing that stands out to me is what William James wrote about years ago .
The Trump campaign exudes optimism and celebrates what ’ s right with America .
People are thrilled to have their feelings validated .
They know the Trump administration is accomplishing great things on their behalf .
They are in the mood to celebrate and re-elect the president .
The unemployment rate continues to trend downward and registers just above 3.5 % .
People know this stat is true .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s policies , there are more jobs than there have been in years .
The economy is better , too .
The American people see it is and they are expressing it .
Trump respects and honors law enforcement officers .
Add to that the joy of great judicial appointments ; a strong stance for the pro-life movement ; and the thrill that Trump and the GOP ( except for one senator from Utah ) remained united and strong against the partisan impeachment attack unleashed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-CA ) and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Trending : Antifa Tinkerpots Don ’ t Want Their Pics Shared – So , Let ’ s Share Them Far-N-Wide As Trump has said at his rallies , “ While we are creating jobs and killing terrorists , the Congressional Democrats are obsessed with demented hoaxes , crazy witch hunts and deranged partisan crusades .
That ’ s all they know how to do , the do-nothing Democrats.
” Attending a Trump rally is a celebration .
America is coming back and doing well .
Trump rallies are evidence of it .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ and joy .
They are a tribute to people who love a president and a president who really cares and does for them .
It ’ s a bright picture .
The contrast to that is the Democrat slog to nominate a candidate .
They began their march to 2020 with the debacle known as the Iowa Democrat Caucus .
The Democrats demonstrated for the nation their inability to manage a caucus , casting doubt upon just how well they would manage anything else .
As bad as their inability to count votes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ America is worse .
Sen. Bernie Sanders ( I-VT ) makes the specious claim that Trump ’ s economy is not good for working families .
Mayor Pete Buttigieg ( D-IN ) asserts the economy works for Wall Street but not the middle class .
Both the self-described Democrat-Socialist and the South Bend Mayor are spinning the truth .
They , and the rest of the Democrat field , describe an America that is harsh , mean , ugly , and unfair .
The mood they generate is one of anger and desperation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Trump sucks ” that pollutes Twitter with some of the vilest language imaginable .
The hate they stir leads the crazy left-wingers to attack Trump supporters .
In their last debate , they made a united front supporting abortion rights and declaring they ’ d never appoint a pro-life judge .
Stephanie Saul of the New York Times described it this way .
“ Historically , many presidential candidates have shied away from an outright litmus test on abortion or any other issue , arguing that Supreme Court justices should not be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on their experience and jurisprudence .
But that has changed this campaign cycle.
” That ’ s what the Democrats see when they look across our great country .
They see a need for wealth distribution .
They believe law enforcement needs to be reined in and controlled .
They see Christian and traditional values as something that should be stamped out .
They believe that human life does not begin at conception and have no problem with more abortions .
They stir up hate , impugn Trump voters and believe they are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than the hordes of deplorables .
Their talk of unity means the country will have to do things their way .
That ’ s the Democrat vision of America .
This election may come down to how people see what ’ s going on in the country .
Do they see good things happening ?
Do they see record economic growth ?
Are they happy with job prospects ?
Are they encouraged by support for law and order ?
Do they believe America ’ s place in the world is stronger now than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the election or will the Democrats ’ bleak vision of how things are win out ?
I ’ m confident that optimism will win and with it , Trump in 2020 .

The unemployment rate continues to trend downward and registers just above 3.5%. People know this stat is true. They know, that because of Trump’s policies, there are more jobs than there have been in years.
The economy is better, too. The American people see it is and they are expressing it. Trump respects and honors law enforcement officers. Add to that the joy of great judicial appointments; a strong stance for the pro-life movement; and the thrill that Trump and the GOP (except for one senator from Utah) remained united and strong against the partisan impeachment attack unleashed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and you have quite a list of accomplishments.
As Trump has said at his rallies, “While we are creating jobs and killing terrorists, the Congressional Democrats are obsessed with demented hoaxes, crazy witch hunts and deranged partisan crusades. That’s all they know how to do, the do-nothing Democrats.”
Attending a Trump rally is a celebration. America is coming back and doing well. Trump rallies are evidence of it. They trumpet a message of American optimism and joy. They are a tribute to people who love a president and a president who really cares and does for them. It’s a bright picture.

But that has changed this campaign cycle.”
That’s what the Democrats see when they look across our great country. They see a need for wealth distribution. They believe law enforcement needs to be reined in and controlled. They see Christian and traditional values as something that should be stamped out. They believe that human life does not begin at conception and have no problem with more abortions. They stir up hate, impugn Trump voters and believe they are smarter and better qualified to make decisions than the hordes of deplorables. Their talk of unity means the country will have to do things their way. That’s the Democrat vision of America.
This election may come down to how people see what’s going on in the country. Do they see good things happening? Do they see record economic growth? Are they happy with job prospects? Are they encouraged by support for law and order? Do they believe America’s place in the world is stronger now than before? Will optimism carry the day and the election or will the Democrats’ bleak vision of how things are win out? I’m confident that optimism will win and with it, Trump in 2020.
