Gloom
and Doom
By
Tammy Derouin
Envy
and jealousy can be very destructive and can cause inappropriate
behavior. Prosperity eludes the Democratic Party because their
answer for everything is more government control and more taxes.
This kind of thinking enslaves a society. If packaged and sold
correctly, it has a way of keeping Democrats in office.
Hillary
Clinton's non-stop whining tour continues as she blames everyone but
herself for her failure to reach the White House. Her rhetoric and
that of her party has taken another departure from reality. We
truly dodged a massive political fiasco. Her administration would
have been a continuation of failed progressive and anti-freedom
policies. Can you imagine the judges she would have nominated?
Hillary
Clinton and her party are showing signs of desperation. Their
fear-mongering abilities and deceptive ways are nothing short of
expected behavior. Nothing they pull out of their chest of gloom and
doom surprises me. The Democrats had their heels already dug in as
their protesters showed up with fill-in-the-blank signs, ready to
oppose anyone the President nominated to the Supreme Court. I think
they would have freaked out even if he would have appointed a
far-Left activist. There may have been a slight moment of stunned
silence as the masses waited for instructions. Once the programmers
fixed the collective thinking link and got them back online, the hate
and bashing would have continued. Thankfully, the President
understands the role of the judiciary, which is not activism but
interpretation of the law.
Kevin McCarthy Moves to 'Checkmate' Democrats on 'Abolish ICE' House Floor Fight | Breitbart
Kevin McCarthy Moves to 'Checkmate' Democrats on 'Abolish ICE' House Floor Fight | Breitbart:
But now that Democrats will be forced to not only oppose their own bill, which they have already demonstrated they do, but vote either for or against the Higgins resolution praising ICE, they are boxed in. A vote against Higgins’ resolution, as many Democrats will surely do, is in other words a vote to abolish ICE–again, a deeply unpopular position with the voting middle class across America.
The House GOP leadership source predicts that every Republican will vote for the Higgins resolution, but the Democrats will split on the matter. “They won’t be able to go on record and support ICE,” the GOP leadership source said. “Their base would kill them. They will be split. The Dems won’t know what to do.”

"Democrat candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has made a huge splash since trouncing incumbent Democrat Joe Crowley in the NY-14 primary, calls herself a socialist and is big on activism, if not geopolitics.
So big on activism, in fact, that in an interview with Democracy Now! on Monday, she called for the "occupation" of airports and ICE offices as part of the effort to "mobilize" the so-called Resistance.
..."We have to have a rapid response," she said.
"And I think every day that we go on, especially a day when something that heinous happens, we have to occupy all of it.
We need to occupy every airport.
We need to occupy every border.
We need to occupy every ICE office until those kids are back with their parents, period."

...She called the Trump presidency "rising fascism" and said "we need to be ready to drop everything and go straight to LaGuardia airport.
...Watch the video below for the entire, lengthy interview. The "occupy" comments begin at around the 52-minute mark.
Occupy every border, she says. Totally reasonable.

Barack Obama's Top 10 Apologies: How the President Has Humiliated a Superpower | The Heritage Foundation
"A common theme that runs through President Obama's statements is the idea the United States must atone for its past policies, whether it is America's application of the war against Islamist terrorism or its overall foreign policy.
At the core of this message is the concept that the U.S. is a flawed nation that must seek redemption by apologizing for its past "sins."
On several occasions, President Obama has sought to apologize for the actions of his own country when addressing a foreign audience--including seven of the 10 apologies listed below.
The President has already apologized for his country to nearly 3 billion people across Europe, the Muslim world, and the Americas.
The Obama Administration's strategy of unconditional engagement with America's enemies combined with a relentless penchant for apology-making is a dangerous recipe for failure.
The overall effect of this approach has been to weaken American power on the world stage rather than strengthen it..."

Black GOP Intern Plans To Sue Uber For Denying Ride Because of MAGA Hats | Daily Wire:
“What happened is this: they were guilty of the greatest sin, according to the progressive, socialist left – political apostasy,” West wrote. “They were black, but not liberal progressives, not Democrats, and they had the abject nerve to openly profess such … There will be no outrage from the Congressional Black Caucus, you know, the folks who claim to be the ‘conscience of the Congress.’ The NAACP, nor the National Urban League, has, to this point, made any statement condemning Uber and demanding an apology. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have not commenced any protests outside of Uber offices. Nor has Black Lives Matter been seen. This is just another manifestation of what Maxine Waters has called for, this time against three young, black congressional interns.”

What To Do When Your Doctor Asks About Your Guns
"USA – -(Ammoland.com)- Have you had the experience of going to your doctor for a particular problem, let’s say headaches, and been surprised by the doctor asking you about a completely unrelated subject – whether you have a gun in your home?
It’s no accident that doctors’ or health plans’ questions about guns in your home have become routine.
In the 1980s and 1990s medical professional organizations declared a culture war on gun ownership in America.
...Claiming only to be concerned about “gun safety”, the latest code term for gun control, the AAP pushed its member doctors to advise families to get rid of their guns.
One of the authors of the original AAP anti-gun policy, Dr. Katherine Christoffel, was quoted in an AMA journal as saying “Guns are a virus that must be eradicated.”..."

Trump Is Right to Meet Putin - POLITICO Magazine
Trump Is Right to Meet Putin - POLITICO Magazine:
"President Donald Trump meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin today, days after meeting with our NATO allies in Europe.
Both meetings are important, and both cause confusion among politicians and those who report on them back home.
Foreign policy is difficult.
It comes in many shades of gray, and those who treat it as a team sport do harm to our safety and to our politics.
Politicizing international affairs is a dangerous game, but that hasn’t stopped far too many in Washington, who seem to have forgotten that a vital part of keeping America safe and secure is avoiding war through strong and consistent diplomacy, from playing politics.
One way they do that is to insist we not meet with or speak openly to our adversaries on the world stage.
I disagree.
Dialogue is especially important when hundreds of millions of lives are at stake, as is the case in relations between the United States and nuclear-armed Russia.
So I applaud Trump for both chiding our NATO allies and greeting its expansion with skepticism, and I applaud him for sitting down with Putin.
We should be doing more of such self-examination and dialogue..."

‘It took Trump to do what Bush, Bill Clinton couldn’t’
‘It took Trump to do what Bush, Bill Clinton couldn’t’:
The criticism by two former presidents of President Trump’s re-examination of NATO, insisting allies pay their fair share, is ironic, says author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza.
“An accounting, a re-examination is long overdue,” said D’Souza in an interview with the Fox News Channel’s Laura Ingraham regarding comments by former President George W. Bush and former President Bill Clinton last Thursday at a forum at the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas.
“It took an outsider like Trump to do it,” D’Souza said of Trump’s efforts to reform NATO

Fat Consumption is the Only Cause of Weight Gain - Neuroscience News
Fat Consumption is the Only Cause of Weight Gain - Neuroscience News:
"Scientists from the University of Aberdeen and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have undertaken the largest study of its kind looking at what components of diet – fat, carbohydrates or protein – caused mice to gain weight.
Since food consists of fat, protein and carbs, it has proven difficult to pinpoint exactly what aspect of the typical diet leads to weight gain.
...The study was published in the journal Cell Metabolism and includes 30 different diets that vary in their fat, carbohydrate (sugar) and protein contents.
...Professor John Speakman, who led the study, said: “The result of this enormous study was unequivocal – the only thing that made the mice get fat was eating more fat in their diets.
...“Carbohydrates including up to 30% of calories coming from sugar had no effect. Combining sugar with fat had no more impact than fat alone.
There was no evidence that low protein (down to 5%) stimulated greater intake, suggesting there is no protein target.
These effects of dietary fat seemed to be because uniquely fat in the diet stimulated the reward centres in the brain, stimulating greater intake..."
