Upon learning THIS, it was Nancy Pelosi that had to be sedated! Gallup reports that 90% of Americans say they are satisfied with the way things are going in their personal lives, a record high in their “Mood of the Nation” poll’s four-decade history.https://t.co/F9qDL6vBSL — Gov.

A ‘Very’ High Level of Satisfaction with the Quality of Their Personal Lives

A further 25 percent of respondents polled still said that they are satisfied with their personal lives, albeit saying only ‘somewhat’ as opposed to the aforementioned ‘very’ qualifier.”
Household income, marital status and political party, are among some of the influential demographics behind this year’s report.
Facts: 90% of Americans are satisfied with their personal life—a record high 63% approve of Trump's handling of the economy—a 20 year high 51% have a favorable view of the GOP—compared to just 45% who view Democrats favorably THIS is what 3 years of Trump does for America — Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) February 6, 2020

Smith fired back on Twitter, sharing a video of Ocasio-Cortez’s caption along with the comment, “This is @AOC veiled swipe at my testimony of being a poor kid who lifted myself up via the Army, hard work, and the blessing of being born in the USA. They only want to hear from black victims, not victors.”
I shared mine testifying in Congress yesterday. This is @AOC veiled swipe at my testimony of being a poor kid who lifted myself up via the Army, hard work, and the blessing of being born in the USA. They only want to hear from black victims, not victors. https://t.co/F4jKfn4Imk — Rob Smith (@robsmithonline) February 6, 2020
Smith’s tweet quickly went viral, garnering almost 10,000 likes. Upon seeing his tweet, Ocasio-Cortez took to her own Twitter to double down on her comments, and make the situation all about her.
“I worked my butt off to get elected against all odds, without any special connections or money. I worked double shifts and wore through my shoes, outspent 10:1 to get elected,” she wrote. “Even w/ all that hard work, it would be narcissistic to pretend I ‘bootstrapped’ it alone & w/o others.”

Smith could not have been more right. Democrats like Ocasio-Cortez want to make minorities feel like victims who have no choice but to depend on the government for survival. That’s why a black man like Smith crediting his success to his own hard work and to being born in a great country such as America is effectively Ocasio-Cortez’s worst nightmare.

We as a nation need to be empowering all Americans, including minorities, not putting them down and victimizing them. Ocasio-Cortez also has no business disrespecting a veteran who put his life on the line to protect her freedoms.
Shame on you, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, shame on you.

Vindman gave contradictory and conflicting testimony in front of the House Intel Committee and was an easy witness to discredit.

The Democratic response to the firing has been swift and negative, as Democrats again accuse the president of abusing his office and breaking the law regarding “whistleblowers” by firing Vindman. The Pentagon termed it a mere “reassignment.”
Vindman’s lawyer, David Pressman, opined, “There is no question in the mind of any American why this man’s job is over, why this country now has one less soldier serving it at the White House. LTC Vindman was asked to leave for telling the truth. His honor, his commitment to right, frightened the powerful.”

Former Rep. Joe Walsh ( R-IL ) , a devoted never-trumper , finally ended his campaign to steal the 2020 presidential nomination from Donald Trump , admitting that the current president “ can ’ t be beat.
” Walsh officially dropped out of the race today during an interview with CNN ’ s John Berman after getting just 1 percent of the vote in the Iowa GOP caucuses , according to Breitbart News .
“ I ’ m ending my candidacy for President of the United States , ” Walsh said.
” Look , I got into this because I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was a Republican out there every day calling out this president for how unfit he is .
I want to stop Trump , I believe he ’ s a threat to this country .
He can ’ t be stopped within the Republican Party .
Nobody can beat him .
It ’ s Trump ’ s party .
It ’ s not a party , it ’ s a cult .
He can ’ t be beat in the Republican primary , so there ’ s no reason for me or any candidate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has become a cult.
” Walsh went on to say that before entering the race , he actually thought he had a shot to take the nomination , not realizing just how devoted to Trump the party has become .
“ I didn ’ t see how cult-like the party was , ” he lamented .
“ Ten states around the country canceled their primaries and caucuses , the state parties are beholden to Trump .
The conservative media world , Fox News and all of rest , wouldn ’ t give me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ m a Republican candidate for president , but they bow down in front of their king .
And then out there everyday talking to Republican voters , I just became convinced that these folks had been fed nothing but lies and mistruths about President Trump and they can ’ t be gotten back.
” Looks like someone is bitter !
There ’ s nothing “ cult-like ” about Republicans supporting a conservative president who has given us an amazing economy and a record-low unemployment rate .

A disturbing new report has just come out that confirms the FBI had multiple informants in Donald Trump ’ s presidential campaign back in 2016 .

Another source volunteered to provide the FBI with various documents related to Trump .
A @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ supporter , ” while a fourth held an official position in Trump ’ s campaign .

“We found no evidence that the FBI placed any CHSs or UCEs within the Trump campaign or tasked any CHSs or UCEs to report on the Trump campaign,” reads the executive summary of the report.
However, the report itself tells a different story. Though the FBI didn’t officially task sources with infiltrating the Trump campaign, the bureau did accept information from sources that volunteered to give them insight into what the current president was doing.
The report also stated that an FBI contacted one one informant to obtain insight” into the incoming Trump administration, while another source was asked to give details about the other officials in Trump’s campaign.
Unsurprisingly, the section of the report that details the sources within Trump’s campaign has gotten virtually no attention from the mainstream media. This is because the story does not fit their narrative of Trump being the root of all evil, and instead shows the corrupt tactics the political establishment has taken to try and take him down.
One FBI agent who was quoted in the report claimed that the bureau “never [had] any intent, never any desire … to collect…campaign or privileged information with regard to the presidential election.” Anyone with half a brain should know now that this is a blatant lie.

As taxpayers we ’ re obviously concerned how are tax dollars are spent .

But when it goes past that to blatant cronyism , contacts over merit , then we have reason to be angry and the government agencies involved have reason to reform themselves .
Welcome to the case of the Department of Labor and Trowbridge and Trowbridge .
Contracts specifically awarded by government-labeled minorities based on gender and race are an every day occurrence here in DC .
The deal is that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the contractors live high on the hog and hire willy-nilly .
The feds look like they ’ re creating jobs for the underserved and everyone goes home with what they want .
At best it helps deserving businesses get a leg up .
At worst , when cronyism takes over , merit goes out the window and contracts are awarded just on who the principals know professionally and socially .
In the mundane precincts of government few blink an eye at this .
But occasionally there comes along a case so suspicious that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contractor hijinks is so evident .
On that note , meet the data firm RSIS and by extension , current contract awardee Trowbridge and Trowbridge and their $ 66 million Job Corp data center contract with the Department of Labor .
The main players in this setup are DOL IT Director Linda Estep , Trowbridge executive and former RSIS employee Christine Brandell , and a leader in the federal contract community named Joni Barr .
Estep has been the DOL IT chief at the Austin , TX , Job Corps site since 1990 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the contract .
Barr is close to the process because she was with NITAC and is now a VP with Trowbridge .
NITAC is the procurement arm of the federal government .
It is supposed to oversee the process to ensure fairness and transparency .
But the feds are susceptible to feather stroking as much as the next person , probably more so .

According to one high level expert in the government contracting industry LifeZette talked to , “ They are really close .
They go way back at least ten years.
” They met when Brandell was at RSIS and Estep was her client at DOL .
That relationship resulted in Trowbridge , under several corporate guises , maintaining the contract through thick and thin .
Recently , Brandell had been getting close to Barr by giving her accolades and whatnot .
Then viola , Barr magically winds up as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ NITAC .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-02-08--Ilhan Omar Compares Students to Veterans in Call to Cancel Student Debt

Representative Ilhan Omar , the radical left-wing Democrat , compared students to veterans in a tweet that called for the cancellation of student debt .
Students are Equivalent to Veterans Now It Seems !
Omar tweeted a quote from an article by Will Fischer , who advocated wiping out student debt in the same way the GI Bill did in 1944 , which allowed veterans to obtain a free education .
“ Imagine what it would do for our country and those who live here if we were to take the ethos behind the original G.I .
Bill and apply @ @ @ @ @ @ @ making public colleges , universities , and vocational schools tuition-free , ” the quote reads .
The original bill was designed to help veterans who had served in the Second World War reintegrate into military life and reward them for their bravery .
“ Before the war , college and homeownership were , for the most part , unreachable dreams for the average American , ” but the GI Bill changed all that , notes the Department of Veterans Affairs : Understandably , veterans weren ’ t impressed with Omar comparing the debt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to go through to earn their ride through college .
Chris Manning , a veteran of Afghanistan who ran for Congress in 2018 , smacked down Omar in a tweet .
As a recipieint of the GI Bill , he said it wasn ’ t given to him for free , but “ was earned by agreeing to serve my country for six years and to put my life at risk as an infantryman in Afghanistan .
It wasn ’ t something just given to me with nothing expected in return.
” He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sacrifice w/ this comparison.
” There is a debate that needs to be had in this country when it comes to student debt .
Why is it that universities and colleges are allowed to charge students through the nose for tuition and massively inflate their prices above what would be the market average with no consequences ?
Why are banks allowed to rope 18-year-olds into one of the biggest financial decisions they will ever make when they haven ’ t even left high school yet ?
Either the government should tightly control how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ create some form of graduate tax system ( as student loans basically function in the UK ) , or stop backing student loan debt and let the market perform how it should .
The solution to the student debt crisis isn ’ t what Omar and Sen. Sanders and others are proposing .
To wipe it off completely will only punish those who scrimped and saved to pay into the system who won ’ t get any rebates , as well as shafting the ordinary taxpayer who may have not even gone to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tuition won ’ t work either – the UK had free tuition up until 1998 , but it was feasible only because a small proportion of the population went to higher education establishments .
If you encourage a high percentage of the population to get degrees , there ’ s no way the government would be able to fund it without going into further debt or hiking up taxes to unreasonable levels .
Like with many issues this country faces , the left may be able to diagnose problems , but they have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ !

“Before the war, college and homeownership were, for the most part, unreachable dreams for the average American,” but the GI Bill changed all that, notes the Department of Veterans Affairs:
Thanks to the GI Bill, millions who would have flooded the job market instead opted for education. In the peak year of 1947, Veterans accounted for 49 percent of college admissions. By the time the original GI Bill ended on July 25, 1956, 7.8 million of 16 million World War II Veterans had participated in an education or training program. Millions also took advantage of the GI Bill’s home loan guaranty. From 1944 to 1952, VA backed nearly 2.4 million home loans for World War II Veterans.
Understandably, veterans weren’t impressed with Omar comparing the debt of normal students to what veterans had to go through to earn their ride through college.
Chris Manning, a veteran of Afghanistan who ran for Congress in 2018, smacked down Omar in a tweet. As a recipieint of the GI Bill, he said it wasn’t given to him for free, but “was earned by agreeing to serve my country for six years and to put my life at risk as an infantryman in Afghanistan. It wasn’t something just given to me with nothing expected in return.” He told Omar not to “cheapen our sacrifice w/ this comparison.”
I'm a recipient of the GI Bill. The GI Bill was earned by agreeing to serve my country for six years and to put my life at risk as an infantryman in Afghanistan. It wasn't something just given to me with nothing expected in return. Don't cheapen our sacrifice w/ this comparison. pic.twitter.com/4CNspm8gXt — Chris Manning (@Manning4USCong) February 7, 2020
Omar is Totally Wrong About Student Debt
There is a debate that needs to be had in this country when it comes to student debt. Why is it that universities and colleges are allowed to charge students through the nose for tuition and massively inflate their prices above what would be the market average with no consequences? Why are banks allowed to rope 18-year-olds into one of the biggest financial decisions they will ever make when they haven’t even left high school yet? Either the government should tightly control how much they are allowed to charge and create some form of graduate tax system (as student loans basically function in the UK), or stop backing student loan debt and let the market perform how it should.
The solution to the student debt crisis isn’t what Omar and Sen. Sanders and others are proposing. To wipe it off completely will only punish those who scrimped and saved to pay into the system who won’t get any rebates, as well as shafting the ordinary taxpayer who may have not even gone to college in the first place. Free tuition won’t work either – the UK had free tuition up until 1998, but it was feasible only because a small proportion of the population went to higher education establishments. If you encourage a high percentage of the population to get degrees, there’s no way the government would be able to fund it without going into further debt or hiking up taxes to unreasonable levels.
Like with many issues this country faces, the left may be able to diagnose problems, but they have no ability to fix any of them!

“With the additional financial support, we are actively looking at additional ways to expand the map beyond our historic field program already in place,” Gorka wrote. “It also is putting Democrats in a tough place. The Democrats did not see the money and energy like we did and it is costing them every day.”
Two months ago, Trump predicted that the left’s impeachment effort would prove to be lucrative for his own party.
“I think it’s going to be a tremendous boom for the Republicans,” the president said.
Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee has not released any data about their impeachment-related fundraising efforts. They were only able to raise $28 million in donations in the fourth quarter of 2019, while the RNC raised just over $72 million from October through December. On top of that, the Trump campaign was able to raise $46 million.

According to History.com, during the Civil War, the western (mountain) counties of VA. became estranged from the east because of the west’s lack of slavery.

After VA. seceded from the Union to join the Confederacy, the western counties, opposing slavery, proclaimed “The Restored Government of Virginia,” and entered the Union as a free state. President Abraham Lincoln, in April 1863, acknowledged the entry of West Virginia as one of the United States, which became effective on June 20th, 1863.
Like their Virginia forbearers who seceded from the Union, while clinging to a human rights desecration, today’s Virginians are doing a similar thing. Only, this time the potential split is over state a Democrat state government’s desecration of Virginian’s unalienable right to self-defense, which the framers guaranteed with the Second Amendment.
Virginia’s love of slavery lost them some 24,000 square miles of their state. Now, the Democrat’s contempt for the people’s right to keep and bear arms may lose them another big chunk what had been Virginia. According to the Washington Examiner, 40 of West Virginia’s 100 House delegates have already signed “legislation that would accept revolting Virginia counties and towns.”
VA. Delegate Gary Howell (R- Mineral), in his bill, HCR 8, noted VA.’s “urban-rural battle.” Howell wrote, “These tensions have been compounded by a perception of contempt on the part of the government at Richmond for the differences in certain fundamental political and societal principles which prevail between the varied counties and cities of that Commonwealth.” VA’s invitation to its kin next door went like this: “In a spirit of conciliation, the legislature of West Virginia hereby extends an invitation to our fellow Virginians who wish to do so, to join us in our noble experiment of 156 years of separation from the government at Richmond; and, we extend an invitation to any constituent county or city of the Commonwealth of Virginia to be admitted to the body politic of the state of West Virginia.”
To show this isn’t a new idea, back in 1860s, West Virginia extended an open invitation to Frederick County, VA. to join the new state. In fact, seven current West Virginia counties used to be included within the Frederick County, VA. borders. Because of this official invitation, though it is over 150-years-old, Frederick County needs no new legislation from West Virginia to join that state. Still, the U.S. Constitution, Article 4, Section 3, Clause 1 may require the consent of the legislatures of the states involved and of the U.S. Congress. I’m sure that’ll be debated.
