  35. And FOCUS.
  36. Get enough security and get Joe and Kamala installed.
  37. The following are POTUS TRUMP’S WORDS:
  38. Media will not show the magnitude of this crowd.
  39. Even I, when I turned on today, I looked, and I saw thousands of people here, but you don’t see hundreds of thousands of people behind you because they don’t want to show that.
  40. We have hundreds of thousands of people here, and I just want them to be recognized by the fake news media. 
  41. Turn your cameras, please, and show what is really happening out here, because these people are not going to take it any longer, they’re not going to take it any longer.
  42. Go ahead, turn your cameras, please.
  43. Would you show they came from all over the world actually, but they came from all over our country.
  44. I just really want to see what they do.
  45. I just want to see how they cover it.
  46. I’ve never seen anything like it, but it would be really great if we could be covered fairly by the media.
  47. The media is the biggest problem we have as far as I’m concerned, single biggest problem.
  48. The fake news and the big tech, big tech, is now coming into their own.
  49. We beat them four years ago, we surprised them.
  50. We took him by surprise and this year they rigged an election, they rigged it like they have never rigged an election before, and by the way, last night, they didn’t do a bad job either, if you notice.
  51. I am honest, and I just again, I want to thank you.
  52. It’s just a great honor to have this kind of crowd and to be before you and hundreds of thousands of American patriots who are committed to the honesty of our elections and the integrity of our glorious Republic.
  53. All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by bold and radical left Democrats, which is what they are doing, and stolen by the fake news media.
  54. That is what they have done and what they are doing.
  55. We will never give up.
  56. We will never concede.
  57. It doesn’t happen.
  58. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved.
  59. Our country has had enough. 
  60. We will not take it anymore, and that is what this is all about.
  61. And to use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with, we will stop the steal.
  62. Today I will lay out just some of the evidence proving that we won this election and we won it by a landslide.
  63. This was not a close election.
  64. You know I say sometimes jokingly, but there’s no joke about it.
  65. I have been in two elections.
  66. I won them both and the second one I won much bigger than the first, okay?
  67. Almost 75 million people voted for our campaign, the most of any incumbent president by far in the history of our country; 12 million more than four years ago.
  68. And I was told by the real pollsters; we do have real pollsters.
  69. They know that we were going to do well and we were going to win.
  70. What I was told, if I went from 63 million, which we had four years ago, to 66 million, there was no chance of losing.
  71. Well, we didn’t go to 66, we went to 75 million, and they say we lost.
  72. We didn’t lose.
  73. And by the way, does anybody believe that Joe had 80 million votes?
  74. Does anybody believe that?
  75. He had 80 million computer votes.
  76. It’s a disgrace.
  77. There’s never been anything like that.
  78. You can take Third World countries, just take a look, take Third World countries, their elections are more honest than what we have been going through in this country.
  79. It’s a disgrace.
  80. It’s a disgrace.
  81. Even when you look at last night, they were all running around like chickens with their heads cut off with boxes, and nobody knows what the hell is going on.
  82. There’s never been anything like this.
  83. We will not let them silence your voices.
  84. We’re not going to let it happen.
  85. Not going to let it happen.
  86. Thank you.
  87. And I would love to have, if those tens of thousands of people would be allowed, the military, the Secret Service and we want to thank you — and the police and law enforcement — great, you’re doing a great job.
  88. But I would love it if they could be allowed to come up with us. Is that possible?
  89. Can you just let them, please?
  90. And Rudy [Giuliani], you did a great job.
  91. He’s got guts.
  92. You know what?
  93. He’s got guts, unlike a lot of people in the Republican Party, he’s got guts, he fights, he fights.
  94. [How did Rudy fight? He filed lawsuits and addressed legislatures and the public.]
  95. And I will tell you thank you very much, John [Eastman], fantastic job. I watched — that’s a tough act to follow those two.
  96. John is one of the most brilliant lawyers in the country and he looked at this, and he said what an absolute disgrace that this could be happening to our Constitution, and he looked at Mike Pence, and I hope Mike is going to do the right thing.
  97. I hope so.
  98. I hope so because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election.
  99. All he has to do — all — this is — this is from the number one or certainly one of the top constitutional lawyers in our country.
  100. He has the absolute right to do it.
  101. We’re supposed to protect our country, support our country, support our Constitution and protect our Constitution.
  102. States want to revote, the states got defrauded.
  103. They were given false information, they voted on it.
  104. Now they want to recertify; they want it back.
  105. All Vice President Pence has to do is send it back to the states to recertify, and we become president, and you are the happiest people.
  106. And I actually, I just spoke to Mike. 
  107. I said, Mike, that doesn’t take courage, what takes courage is to do nothing.
  108. That takes courage, and then we are stuck with a president who lost the election by a lot, and we have to live with that for four more years.
  109. We’re just not going to let that happen.
  110. Many of you have traveled from all across the nation to be here, and I want to thank you for the extraordinary love.
  111. That is what it is; there’s never been a movement like this ever, ever for the extraordinary love for this amazing country.
  112. And this amazing movement.
  113. Thank you.
  114. By the way, this goes all the way back past the Washington Monument.
  115. Do you believe this? Look at this.
  116. Unfortunately, they gave the press the prime seats.
  117. I can’t stand that.
  118. No, but you look at that behind.
  119. I wish they would flip those cameras and look behind you.
  120. That is the most amazing site.
  121. When they make a mistake, you get to see it on television, amazing. Amazing.
  122. All of the way back and don’t worry.
  123. We will not take the name off the Washington Monument.
  124. We will not.
  125. Cancel culture.
  126. They wanted to get rid of the Jefferson Memorial, either take it down or just put somebody else in there.
  127. I don’t think that’s going to happen.
  128. It damn well better not, even though with this administration if this happens, it could happen.
  129. You will see some really bad things happen.
  130. They will knock out Lincoln, too, by the way.
  131. They have been taking his statute down, but then we signed a little law, you hurt our monuments, you hurt our heroes, you go to jail for 10 years, and everything stopped.
  132. You notice that it stopped?
  133. It all stopped, and they could use Rudy back in New York City, Rudy.
  134. They could use you.
  135. Your city is going to hell.
  136. They want Rudy Giuliani back in New York.
  137. We will get a little younger version of Rudy.
  138. Is that okay, Rudy?
  139. We’re gathered together in the heart of our nation’s capital for one very, very basic and simple reason, to save our democracy.
  140. You know most candidates on election evening, and of course, this thing goes on so long they still don’t have any idea what the votes are.
  141. We still have congressional seats under review.
  142. They have no idea.
  143. They have totally lost control;
  144. they have used the pandemic as a way of defrauding the people in a proper election,
  145. but you know, you know when you see this and when you see what is happening, number one they all say, sir, we will never let it happen again. I said that’s good, but what about eight weeks ago?
  146. You know they try and get you to go, they say, sir, in four years you are guaranteed.
  147. I said, I’m not interested right now.
  148. Do me a favor. Go back eight weeks.
  149. I want to go back eight weeks.
  150. Let’s go back eight weeks.
  151. We want to go back, and we want to get this right, because we’re going to have somebody in there that should not be in there, and our country will be destroyed. And we’re not going to stand for that.
  152. For years, Democrats have gotten away with election fraud and weak Republicans.
  153. And that’s what they are.
  154. There’s so many weak Republicans.
  155. And we have great ones.
  156. Jim Jordan and some of these guys, they are out there fighting.
  157. The House guys are fighting, but it’s — it’s incredible.
  158. Many of the Republicans, I helped them get in.
  159. I helped them get elected.
  160. I helped Mitch get elected. I helped —
  161. I could name 24 of them, let’s say. I won’t bore you with it.
  162. And then all of a sudden, you have something like this.
  163. There is like oh, gee, maybe I’ll talk to the president sometime later.
  164. No, it’s amazing.
  165. The weak Republicans.
  166. They’re pathetic Republicans, and that’s what happens.
  167. If this happened to the Democrats, there’d be hell all over the country going on.
  168. There’d be hell all over the country. 
  169. But just remember this, you’re stronger, you’re smarter.
  170. You’ve got more going than anybody, and they try and demean everybody having to do with us, and you’re the real people.
  171. You’re the people that built this nation.
  172. You’re not the people that tore down our nation.
  173. The weak Republicans — and that’s it, I really believe it.
  174. I think I’m going to use the term.
  175. The weak Republicans.
  176. You’ve got a lot of them and you’ve got a lot of great ones.
  177. But you’ve got a lot of weak ones.
  178. They’ve turned a blind eye.
  179. Even as Democrats enacted policies that
  180. shipped away our jobs,
  181. weakened our military,
  182. threw open our borders,
  183. and put America last.
  184. Did you see the other day where Joe Biden said I want to get rid of the America-first policy.
  185.  What’s that all about?
  186. Get rid of — how do you say I want to get rid of America first?
  187. Even if you’re going to do it, don’t talk about it, right?
  188. Unbelievable, what we have to go through.
  189. What we have to go through — and you have to get your people to fight.
  190. And if they don’t fight, we have to primary the hell out of the ones that don’t fight. We primary them.
  191. We’re going to — we’re going to let you know who they are.
  192. I can already tell you, frankly.
  193. But this year, using the pretext of the China virus and the scam of mail-in ballots, Democrats attempted the most brazen and outrageous election theft.
  194. And there’s never been anything like this.
  195. It’s a pure theft in American history.
  196. Everybody knows it.
  197. That election, our election was over at 10 in the evening.
  198. We’re leading Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia.
  199. By hundreds of thousands of votes, and then late in the evening or early in the morning, boom. 
  200. These explosions of bullshit, and all of the sudden —all of a sudden, it started to happen.
  201. Don’t forget, when Romney got beat — Romney. Did you see his —
  202. I wonder if he enjoyed his flight in last night.
  203. But when Romney got beat, you know, he stands up like your more typical — well, I’d like to congratulate the victor.
  204. The victor.
  205. Who was the victor, Mitt?
  206. I’d like to congratulate.
  207. They don’t go in and look at the facts.
  208. Oh, I don’t know. You’ve got — he got slaughtered, probably.
  209. Maybe it was okay, maybe it was — that’s what happened.

Nancy and Chuck, stop the impeachment insane waste of our time and money and energy. You have no case. You are trying to manufacture a case when there isn’t one. Get on with the inauguration. Focus Nancy. Be a stateswoman. Focus Chuck. Be a statesman. Make sure there is enough security and get Joe and Kamala sworn in a few days from now.

So is Biden the president elect? No. The media has no authority to declare who is president elect. And if the massive election fraud allegations are proven by Sidney Powell and POTUS TRUMP’s legal team, President Trump will be our president for 4 more years. BARREL & PORK. We report. You decide.

  1. So, BARREL. Is Joe Biden the president elect?
  2. No, PORK. Joe Biden is not the president elect.
  3. The news media does not declare who is the president elect.
  4. It looks like POTUS TRUMP will be installed in January and will be our president for the next four years notwithstanding premature celebrations and posturing by Joe and the democrats and most of the media.
  5. So, what is going on? How is that possible?
  6. PORK, the highly honored and respected Sidney Katherine Powell, who served as Assistant United States Attorney for 10 years and who now has her own law firm and who represents General Flynn and POTUS TRUMP just stated on national television to Maria Bartiromo that there was massive pre-meditated criminal election fraud manipulating the votes so Biden and other democrats won the election.
  7. Can Sidney Katherine Powell prove it?
  8. She said she never makes empty statements that she can’t back up with evidence. She said she has in her possession the rock solid evidentiary proof that overturns the election completely and acknowledges that POTUS TRUMP won the election by a millions of vote landslide, evidence that also shows that other Republican candidates have also been defrauded in this and other elections.
  9. How so? How is that possible?
  10. Sidney Powell says she has the evidence including affidavits that demonstrate that Donald Trump won the election by millions of votes and that the Dominion and other voting software were used in multiple states including the so called swing states by the democrats and others to fraudulently manipulate the votes so Biden and other democrats won.
  11. Wow. If Sidney really does have the conclusive evidence of massive election fraud, that may be the reason Joe Biden could hunker down in his basement and do no campaigning. Looks like maybe Joe knew from the beginning that the fix was in. I mean, how could you lose. Send out millions of ballots and then adjust the results using the Dominion and other voting software. When will we know more? Was this same software used in 2016 and earlier?
  12. Sidney says more will be disclosed this week. And yes, this same software was used in 2016 and earlier which raises questions about the Clinton Trump race and the Obama Romney race and Senate and House races and others.
  13. Maybe that is why Hillary was so apoplectic when she lost. Maybe she knew that she had the popular vote and the election locked up before the first vote was cast.
  14. I notice that the media is apoplectic over this. There is a massive campaign on with pre-scripted talking points attempting to distract and persuade the nation that Sidney’s allegations couldn’t possibly be true and that such is just more right wing conspiracy theory.
  15. Yes, the democrat hate Trump media is protecting Biden and they have shot off huge media salvos alleging that the Dominion software was infallible and that Biden won.
  16. I notice that in the past prominent democrats sent letters alleging that the Dominion software was corrupt.
  17. Yes. And Texas refused to use the software because the software was questionable.
  18. On the flip side, I notice that the democrats including Adam Schiff earlier all used the exact same language and lock step stated that there were no irregularities in earlier elections which suggests, keying off the idea that what the democrats are stating lock step is indication of what they are actually doing, that they may well have known about Dominion software and that they were manipulating elections to favor democrats for any number of years.
  19. So BARREL, don’t you think we just have a bunch of conspiracy theories here?
  20. Not this time, PORK. Not this time.
  21. Sidney Powell is rock solid honest and credible and her presence alone makes the case that we are witnessing perhaps the greatest corruption scandals of our age.
  22. Even greater than the Biden China, Ukraine, and Russia corruption?
  23. Yes, PORK, even greater. As I said, this time Sidney Powell is making the case.

Are you very, very angry with Obama, Biden, Schumer, Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, and turncoat republicans POTUS TRUMP? If you are not, we sure think you have a right to be. BARREL & PORK. We report! You decide!

  1. Is POTUS TRUMP very, very angry at traitorous democrats including Hillary, Obama, Biden, Schumer, Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, and at turncoat republicans, BARREL?
  2. What for, PORK?
  3. Well, the democrats including Joe Hiden Biden traitorously spied on his campaign.
  4. The democrats including Joe Hiden traitorously abused POTUS TRUMP because of his Ukraine letters and his China policy when all the time Joe Hiden Biden was enriching his family with bribes from those countries not to mention the fact that Obama and Biden sent a billion in cash to Iran the week before they left office and Hunter received a billion and a half – where is that money today?.
  5. The democrats including Joe Hiden traitorously carried out a false impeachment?
  6. The democrats including Joe Hiden Biden took billions from China and Hiden enriched himself and his family.
  7. The democrats including Joe Hiden have stonewalled every time POTUS TRUMP has tried to help the American people?
  8. The democrats including Joe Hiden Biden have lied about POTUS TRUMP constantly.
  9. The democrats including Joe Hiden have lied about POTUS TRUMP’s most excellent response to COVID.
  10. They have lied about his most excellent response to the riots in the inner cities.
  11. They have fostered the riots at every turn.
  12. They have lied about POTUS TRUMP’s wife and children.
  13. Isn’t that enough to be angry about?
  14. Yes, PORK, yes it is.

Have the BLACKS AND HISPANICS AND NATIVE AMERICANS AND ASIAN AMERICANS AND CAUCASIAN AMERICANS BEEN CONNED BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ALL THESE YEARS? Well, think about it. Was the Democratic Party the party of slavery, Jim Crow, Ku Klux Klan, Lynching, Poll Taxes, Segregation, Japanese-American Internment? Yes. And is it the party of BLACK abortion, HISPANIC abortion, Native American abortion, Caucasian abortion, Asian American abortion? Yes – responsible for killing 300,000,000+ babies. And is it the party of socialism and anarchy? Sure looks like it. SO HAVE THE DEMOCRATS PULLED THE WOOL OVER THE BLACKS AND HISPANICS AND ASIAN AMERICANS AND THE REST OF AMERICA FOR ALL THESE YEARS? HAVE THEY CONNED AMERICA? YES THEY HAVE. THEY SIMPLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND US. ALL WE WANT FROM EACH PARTY AND THEIR POLITICIANS IS SIMPLE. WE WANT TO BE FREE, SAFE, AND PROSPEROUS. That is why no one in his or her right mind will vote for Joe and everyone will vote for Donald in a heartbeat.

1. PORK, is it true about the Democrats?

2. Is what true, BARREL?


3. That the Democrat Party was 

4. THE PARTY OF SLAVERY?

5. THE PARTY OF JIM CROW? 

6. THE Ku Klux Klan PARTY?

7. THE PARTY OF LYNCHING?

8. THE PARTY OF POLL TAXES?

9. THE PARTY OF SEGREGATION?

10. THE PARTY OF JAPANESE-AMERICAN INTERNMENT?

11. YES, it is true, BARREL.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/democrat-party-may-be-due-for-a-date-with-cancel-culture-princeton-professors-argue


12. PORK, is it also true about the Democrats?

13. Is what also true, BARREL?


11.  THAT THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS THE PARTY OF ABORTION?

12.  YES, BARREL, it is true. Just since Roe v Wade more than 300,000,000 American babies have been murdered, killed, destroyed, sent to land fills, torn apart, flushed, chemically wiped out.


12.  THAT THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS THE PARTY OF ABORTION OF THE BLACKS.

13.   YES, BARREL, it is true. Just since Roe v Wade more than 50,000,000 BLACK babies have been murdered, killed, destroyed, sent to land fills, torn apart, flushed, chemically wiped out.


14.  THAT THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS THE PARTY OF ABORTION OF HISPANIC AMERICANS?

15.   YES, BARREL, it is true. Just since Roe v Wade more than 50,000,000 HISPANIC/LATINO babies have been murdered, killed, destroyed, sent to land fills, torn apart, flushed, chemically wiped out.


14.  THAT THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS THE PARTY OF  ABORTION OF ASIAN AMERICANS, NATIVE AMERICANS, CAUCASIAN AMERICANS?

15.   YES, BARREL, it is true. Just since Roe v Wade more than 200,000,000 Asian American plus Native American plus Caucasian American babies have been murdered, killed, destroyed, sent to land fills, torn apart, flushed, chemically wiped out.

16. And BARREL, it looks like it is also true that the Democratic Party is the party of socialism and communism and anarchy as well? It sure looks like it.


http://www.numberofabortions.com/ See the footnote about  250,000,000 chemically induced abortions.


SO HAVE THE DEMOCRATS PULLED THE WOOL OVER THE BLACKS AND HISPANICS AND ASIAN AMERICANS AND THE REST OF AMERICA FOR ALL THESE YEARS? HAVE THEY CONNED AMERICA? YES THEY HAVE. THEY SIMPLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND US. ALL WE WANT FROM EACH PARTY AND ITS POLITICIANS IS SIMPLE. WE WANT TO BE FREE, SAFE, AND PROSPEROUS.
That is why no one in his or her right mind will vote for Joe and everyone will vote for Donald.

BARREL & PORK. We report! You decide!

1.      BARREL, it sure looks like we are being sold another fake news bill of goods? Do you think that is true? WE REPORT. YOU DECIDE.

      Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and the anti-TRUMP lobby and media can’t let POTUS TRUMP alone and have again accused POTUS TRUMP this time of not timely responding to coronavirus COVID-19.

2.      Yes, PORK, it sure looks like their do nothing failure to do their homework accusations have boomeranged again. POTUS TRUMP has assigned Mike Pence to give oversight to efforts to prevent COVID-19.

3.      And it sure does look like the response from investors in the stock market is also ludicrous and overreaction.  Do you think that is true?

      Looks like investors have not done their homework either and it looks like the sell off was and still is totally unwarranted once you work past the Schumer Pelosi anti-TRUMP lobby and media negative hype and attempt to create a crisis where the numbers and facts dictate that there is none.

4.      In my opinion, Schumer, Pelosi, and the anti-TRUMP lobby and media and the frightened investors haven’t done their homework and they clearly don’t know what they are talking about or doing.

5.      Take a look at the following. Bottom line, it looks like the Wuhan coronavirus is just another coronavirus and that it originated in the Chinese Wuhan bioresearch/bioweapons lab and that it is not even close to the influenza sickness and deaths where our resources ought to be placed. So check this out. WE REPORT. YOU DECIDE.

6.      What is a coronavirus?

7.      Coronaviruses are a number of viruses that infect the respiratory system.

8.      Note. They are viruses plural.

9.      Coronaviruses are found in both animals and people.

10.  Coronavirus infections in people are common throughout the world.

11.  They don’t usually cause serious illness.

12.  Sometimes a coronavirus that infects animals will change and turn into a new coronavirus that can infect people.

13.  These coronaviruses can be more serious and sometimes lead to pneumonia which is a life-threatening condition in which fluid builds up in the lungs.

14.  Three new coronaviruses have been discovered in recent years:

15.  SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), a serious and sometimes fatal respiratory illness.

16.  It was first discovered in China in 2002 and spread around the world.

17.  An international effort helped quickly contain the spread of the SARS disease.

18.  There were no deaths from SARS in the U.S.

19.  There have been no new cases of SARS reported anywhere in world since 2004.

20.  MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome), a severe respiratory illness discovered in Saudi Arabia in 2012 which has spread to 27 countries.

21.  Only two cases and no deaths there from have been reported in the United States.

22.  All cases have been linked to travel or residence in or around the Arabian Peninsula.

23.  COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) was discovered in late 2019 in Wuhan City, in the Hubei Province of China. Only a few cases have been found in the U.S. and no deaths. 

24.  Why was this coronavirus discovered in Wuhan City?

25.  Because it looks like the Chinese were testing viruses at their  bioresearch/bioweapons lab in Wuhan and the disease in all liklihood spread from the lab, that is why.

26.  Think about the following analysis and see what you think.

27.  “Don’t buy China’s story: The coronavirus may have leaked from a lab

28.  By Steven W. Mosher

29.  February 22, 2020 | 11:18am | Updated Read    https://nypost.com/2020/02/22/dont-buy-chinas-story-the-coronavirus-may-have-leaked-from-a-lab/  …

30.  “At an emergency meeting in Beijing held last Friday, Chinese leader Xi Jinping spoke about the need to contain the coronavirus and set up a system to prevent similar epidemics in the future.

31.  “A national system to control biosecurity risks must be put in place “to protect the people’s health,” Xi said, because lab safety is a “national security” issue.

32.  “Xi didn’t actually admit that the coronavirus now devastating large swaths of China had escaped from one of the country’s bioresearch labs. But the very next day, evidence emerged suggesting that this is exactly what happened, as the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology released a new directive titled: “Instructions on strengthening biosecurity management in microbiology labs that handle advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus.”

33.  “Read that again. It sure sounds like China has a problem keeping dangerous pathogens in test tubes where they belong, doesn’t it? And just how many “microbiology labs” are there in China that handle “advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus”?

34.  “It turns out that in all of China, there is only one. And this one is located in the Chinese city of Wuhan that just happens to be … the epicenter of the epidemic.

35.  “That’s right. China’s only Level 4 microbiology lab that is equipped to handle deadly coronaviruses, called the National Biosafety Laboratory, is part of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

36.  “… What’s more, the People’s Liberation Army’s top expert in biological warfare, a Maj. Gen. Chen Wei, was dispatched to Wuhan at the end of January to help with the effort to contain the outbreak.

37.  “According to the PLA Daily, Chen has been researching corona viruses since the SARS outbreak of 2003, as well as Ebola and anthrax.

38.  “This would not be her first trip to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, either, since it is one of only two bioweapons research labs in all of China.

39.  “Does that suggest to you that the novel coronavirus, now known as SARS-CoV-2, may have escaped from that very lab, and that Chen’s job is to try to put the genie back in the bottle, as it were? It does to me.

40.  “Add to this China’s history of similar incidents. Even the deadly SARS virus has escaped — twice — from the Beijing lab where it was (and probably is) being used in experiments.

41.  Both “man-made” epidemics were quickly contained, but neither would have happened at all if proper safety precautions had been taken.

42.  “And then there is this little-known fact: Some Chinese researchers are in the habit of selling their laboratory animals to street vendors after they have finished experimenting on them.

43.  “You heard me right.

44.  “Instead of properly disposing of infected animals by cremation, as the law requires, they sell them on the side to make a little extra cash. Or, in some cases, a lot of extra cash.

45.  “One Beijing researcher, now in jail, made a million dollars selling his monkeys and rats on the live animal market, where they eventually wound up in someone’s stomach.

46.  “Enlarge Image Members of a police sanitation team spray disinfectant as a preventive measure against the spread of the coronavirus.AFP via Getty Images

47.  “Also fueling suspicions about SARS-CoV-2’s origins is the series of increasingly lame excuses offered by the Chinese authorities as people began to sicken and die.

48.  “They first blamed a seafood market not far from the Institute of Virology, even though the first documented cases of Covid-19 (the illness caused by SARS-CoV-2) involved people who had never set foot there.

49.  “Then they pointed to snakes, bats and even a cute little scaly anteater called a pangolin as the source of the virus.

50.  “I don’t buy any of this. It turns out that snakes don’t carry coronaviruses and that bats aren’t sold at a seafood market.

51.  Neither, for that matter, are pangolins, an endangered species valued for their scales as much as for their meat.

52.  “The evidence points to SARS-CoV-2 research being carried out at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

53.  “The virus may have been carried out of the lab by an infected worker or crossed over into humans when they unknowingly dined on a lab animal.

54.  Whatever the vector, Beijing authorities are now clearly scrambling to correct the serious problems with the way their labs handle deadly pathogens.

55.  “[It looks like] China has unleashed a plague on its own people.

56.  “It’s too early to say how many in China and other countries will ultimately die for the failures of their country’s state-run microbiology labs, but the human cost will be high.

57.  Steven W. Mosher is the president of the Population Research Institute and the author of “Bully of Asia: Why China’s ‘Dream’ Is the New Threat to World Order.”

58.  Knowing China’s penchant for “taking care of” those who cause difficulty for the regime, and while there is great effort to put the genie back in the bottle, it looks like heads may roll at the Wuhan Institute of Virology if they have not already done so.

59.  Most infections have occurred in China or are related to travel from Hubei Province.

60.  There have been some cases reported in United States. NO DEATHS IN THE U.S.

61.  The outbreak is being closely monitored by:

62.  the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and

63.  the World Health Organization (WHO).

64.  Symptoms of coronavirus infections include:

65.  Fever

66.  Cough

67.  Shortness of breath

68.  Sore throat

69.  Headache

70.  Symptoms of COVID-19 are usually milder than those of SARS and MERS.

71.  The symptoms of COVID-19 include:

72.  Fever

73.  Cough

74.  Shortness of breath

75.  Parts of the world that may put you at risk for infection:

76.  China, which has a high rate of COVID-19 infections.

77.  Currently the CDC is recommending that people avoid all nonessential travel to China.

78.  The Arabian Peninsula. 

79.  There are no known current cases of MERS in the United States.

80.  But if you have symptoms and have recently traveled there, you should be tested for the infection.

81.  If you have symptoms and have not traveled to one of these areas or been exposed to someone who has, it’s highly unlikely that you have one of these new coronaviruses.

82.  You may have another type of virus, such as the flu.

83.  The flu is much more common in the United States than the new coronaviruses.

84.  Influenza (flu) Numbers? 

85.  3,000,000 to 5,000,000 severe illnesses each year world-wide.

86.   290,000 to 650,000 deaths each year world-wide.

87.  20% of unvaccinated children catch the virus each year.

88.   10% of unvaccinated adults are infected each year.

90.  Influenza Center for Disease Control (CDC) Numbers?

91.  9,000,000 to 45,000,000 illnesses.

92.  140,000 to 810,000 hospitalizations.

93.  12,000 to 61,000 deaths annually.

95.  2018-2019 Flu Season Estimates?

96.  Influenza activity in the United States during the 2018–2019 season began to increase in November and remained at high levels for several weeks during January–February5.

97.  Influenza A viruses were the predominant circulating viruses last year.

98.  While influenza A(H1N1pdm09) viruses predominated from October 2018 – mid February 2019, influenza A(H3N2) viruses were more commonly reported starting in late February 2019.

99.  Influenza B viruses were not commonly reported among circulating viruses during the 2018–2019 season.

100.   The season had moderate severity based on levels of outpatient influenza-like illness, hospitalizations rates, and proportions of pneumonia and influenza-associated deaths.

101.    CDC estimates that the burden of illness during the 2018–2019 season included an estimated:

102.    35.5 million people getting sick with influenza,

103.   16.5 million people going to a health care provider for their illness,

104.    490,600 hospitalizations, and

105.   34,200 deaths from influenza (Table 1). [annual]

106.   The number of influenza-associated illnesses that occurred last season was similar to the estimated number of influenza-associated illnesses during the 2012–2013 influenza season when an estimated:

107.   34 million people had symptomatic influenza illness6.

108.   Peak activity during the 2018–2019 influenza season was classified as having moderate severity across ages in the population.

109.   Compared with the 2017–2018 season , which was classified as high severity, the overall rates and burden of influenza were much lower during the 2018–2019 season (Table 2).

110.   Among children, however, rates of influenza during the 2018–2019 season were similar to the 2017–2018 season.

111.   In addition, the 2018–2019 season had two waves of activity, including a wave predominated by influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses and another wave of similar magnitude attributable to influenza A(H3N2) viruses5.

112.   The dual waves resulted in a protracted season during 2018–2019 that was less severe when compared with peak activity in 2017–2018, but resulted in a similar burden of illness in children by the end of the season.

113.    During the 2018–2019 season, 136 deaths in children with laboratory–confirmed influenza virus infection were reported in the United States8. 

114.   However, influenza-associated pediatric deaths are likely under-reported as not all children whose death was related to an influenza virus infection may have been tested for influenza9,10.

115.   By combining data on hospitalization rates, influenza testing practices, and the frequency of death in and out of the hospital from death certificates, we estimate that there were approximately 480  deaths associated with influenza in children during 2018–2019.

116.   Our estimates of hospitalizations and mortality associated with the 2018–2019 influenza season continue to demonstrate how serious influenza virus infection can be.

117.   We estimate, overall, there were:

118.   490,600 hospitalizations and

119.   34,200 deaths during the 2018–2019 season.

120.   More than:

121.    46,000 hospitalizations occurred in children (aged <18 years); however,

122.   57% of hospitalizations occurred in older adults aged ≥65 years.

123.    Older adults also accounted for:

124.   75% of influenza-associated deaths,

125.    highlighting that older adults are particularly vulnerable to severe outcomes resulting from an influenza virus infection.

126.   An estimated:

127.   8,100 deaths occurred among working age adults (aged 18–64 years), an age group that often has low influenza vaccination uptake11.

128.   Conclusion

129.   CDC estimates that influenza was associated with

130.   more than:

131.   35.5 million illnesses,

132.   more than

133.   16.5 million medical visits,

134.   490,600 hospitalizations, and

135.   34,200 deaths

136.   during the 2018–2019 influenza season.

137.   This burden was similar to estimated burden during the 2012–2013 influenza season1.

139.   Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Situation Summary

140.   This is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation and CDC will provide updated information as it becomes available, in addition to updated guidance.

141.   Updated February 23, 2020

142.   Background

143.   CDC is responding to an outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel (new) coronavirus that was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China and which has now been detected in 32 locations internationally, including cases in the United States.

144.   The virus has been named “SARS-CoV-2” and the disease it causes has been named “coronavirus disease 2019” (abbreviated “COVID-19”).

145.   On January 30, 2020, the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee of the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a “public health emergency of international concernexternal icon” (PHEIC).

146.   On January 31, 2020, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency (PHE) for the United States to aid the nation’s healthcare community in responding to COVID-19.

147.    Source and Spread of the Virus

148.    Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in many different species of animals, including camels, cattle, cats, and bats.

149.   Rarely, animal coronaviruses can infect people and then spread between people such as with MERS-CoVSARS-CoV, and now with this new virus (named SARS-CoV-2).

150.   The SARS-CoV-2 virus is a betacoronavirus, like MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV.  

151.   All three of these viruses have their origins in bats. [Probably a bogus conclusion if not a partial explanation as to origins given the Wuhan bioresearch/bioweapons connection!]

152.   The sequences from U.S. patients are similar to the one that China initially posted, suggesting a likely single, recent emergence of this virus from an animal reservoir.

153.   Early on, many of the patients in the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, China had some link to a large seafood and live animal market, suggesting animal-to-person spread.

154.   Later, a growing number of patients reportedly did not have exposure to animal markets, indicating person-to-person spread.

155.   Person-to-person spread has been reported outside China, including in the United States and other locations.

156.   Chinese officials report that sustained person-to-person spread in the community is occurring in China.

157.   In addition, other destinations have apparent community spread, meaning some people have been infected who are not sure how or where they became infected.

172.   Situation in U.S.

173.    Imported cases of COVID-19 in travelers have been detected in the U.S. 

174.   Person-to-person spread of COVID-19 also has been seen among close contacts of returned travelers from Wuhan, but at this time, this virus is NOT currently spreading in the community in the United States.

175.   Illness Severity

176.   Both MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV have been known to cause severe illness in people.

177.   The complete clinical picture with regard to COVID-19 is not fully understood.

178.   Reported illnesses have ranged from mild to severe, including illness resulting in death.

179.   Learn more about the symptoms associated with COVID-19.

180.   There are ongoing investigations to learn more.

181.    This is a rapidly evolving situation

182.    and information will be updated as it becomes available.

183.    Risk Assessment

184.   Outbreaks of novel virus infections among people are always of public health concern.

185.   The risk from these outbreaks depends on characteristics of the virus, including how well it spreads between people, the severity of resulting illness, and the medical or other measures available to control the impact of the virus (for example, vaccine or treatment medications).

186.   The fact that this disease has caused illness, including illness resulting in death, and sustained person-to-person spread is concerning.

187.     These factors meet two of the criteria of a pandemic.

188.   As community spread is detected in more and more countries, the world moves closer toward meeting the third criteria, worldwide spread of the new virus.

189.   The potential public health threat posed by COVID-19 is high, both globally and to the United States.

190.   But individual risk is dependent on exposure.

191.   For the general American public, who are unlikely to be exposed to this virus at this time, the immediate health risk from COVID-19 is considered low.

192.   Under current circumstances, certain people will have an increased risk of infection, for example healthcare workers caring for patients with COVID-19 and other close contacts of persons with COVID-19.

193.   CDC has developed guidance to help in the risk assessment and management of people with potential exposures to COVID-19.

194.   However, it’s important to note that current global circumstances suggest it is likely that this virus will cause a pandemic. 

195.   In that case, the risk assessment would be different.

196.    What May Happen

197.   More cases are likely to be identified in the coming days, including more cases in the United States.

198.   It’s also likely that person-to-person spread will continue to occur, including in the United States.

199.   Widespread transmission of COVID-19 in the United States would translate into large numbers of people needing medical care at the same time.

200.   Schools, childcare centers, workplaces, and other places for mass gatherings may experience more absenteeism.

201.    Public health and healthcare systems may become overloaded, with elevated rates of hospitalizations and deaths.

202.   Other critical infrastructure, such as law enforcement, emergency medical services, and transportation industry may also be affected.

203.    Health care providers and hospitals may be overwhelmed.

204.   At this time, there is no vaccine to protect against COVID-19 and no medications approved to treat it. 

205.   Nonpharmaceutical interventions would be the most important response strategy.

206.   CDC Response

207.   Global efforts at this time are focused concurrently on containing spread of this virus and mitigating the impact of this virus.

208.    The federal government is working closely with state, local, tribal, and territorial partners, as well as public health partners, to respond to this public health threat.

209.   The public health response is multi-layered, with the goal of detecting and minimizing introductions of this virus in the United States so as to reduce the spread and the impact of this virus.

210.    CDC is operationalizing all of its pandemic preparedness and response plans, working on multiple fronts to meet these goals, including specific measures to prepare communities to respond local transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19.

211.    There is an abundance of pandemic guidance developed in anticipation of an influenza pandemic that is being repurposed and adapted for a COVID-19 pandemic.

212.   Highlights of CDC’s Response

213.   CDC established a COVID-19 Incident Management System on January 7, 2020.

214.   On January 21, 2020, CDC activated its Emergency Operations Center to better provide ongoing support to the COVID-19 response.

215.    The U.S. government has taken unprecedented steps with respect to travel in response to the growing public health threat posed by this new coronavirus:

216.   Effective February 2, 2020, at 5pm, the U.S. government suspended entry of foreign nationals who have been in China within the past 14 days.

217.   U.S. citizens, residents, and their immediate family members who have been in Hubei province and other parts of mainland China are allowed to enter the United States, but they are subject to health monitoring and possible quarantine for up to 14 days.

218.   CDC has issued the following travel guidance related to COVID-19:

219.   China — Level 3, Avoid Nonessential Travel — last updated February 22;

220.     Japan — Level 2, Practice Enhanced Precautions — last updated February 22;

221.    South Korea — Level 2, Practice Enhanced Precautions — issued February 22;

222.   Hong Kong — Level 1, Practice Usual Precautions — issued February 19.

223.   CDC also recommends that all travelers reconsider cruise ship voyages into or within Asia at this time.

224.   CDC is issuing clinical guidance, including:

225.   An interim Health Alert Network (HAN) Update to inform state and local health departments and healthcare professionals about this outbreak on February 1, 2020.

226.   On January 30, 2020, CDC published guidance for healthcare professionals on the clinical care of  COVID-19 patients.

227.   On February 3, 2020, CDC posted guidance for assessing the potential risk for various exposures to COVID-19 and managing those people appropriately.

228.   CDC has deployed multidisciplinary teams to support state health departments with clinical management, contact tracing, and communications.

229.   CDC has worked with the Department of State, supporting the safe return of Americans who have been stranded as a result of the ongoing outbreaks of COVID-19 and related travel restrictions.

230.     CDC has worked to assess the health of passengers as they return to the United States and provided continued daily monitoring of people who are quarantined.

231.   The article contains a picture of CDC’s laboratory test kit for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

232.   CDC is shipping the test kits to laboratories CDC has designated as qualified, including U.S. state and local public health laboratories, Department of Defense (DOD) laboratories and select international laboratories.

233.   The test kits are bolstering global laboratory capacity for detecting SARS-CoV-2.

234.   CDC laboratories have supported the COVID-19 response, including:

235.   CDC has developed a real time Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (rRT-PCR) test that can diagnose COVID-19 in respiratory samples from clinical specimens.

236.   On January 24, 2020, CDC publicly posted the assay protocol for this test.

237.    CDC has been uploading the entire genome of the viruses from reported cases in the United States to GenBank as sequencing was completed.

238.     CDC has grown the COVID-19 virus in cell culture, which is necessary for further studies, including for additional genetic characterization.

239.   The cell-grown virus was sent to NIH’s BEI Resources Repositoryexternal iconexternal icon for use by the broad scientific community.

240.    CDC Recommends

241.   While the immediate risk of this new virus to the American public is believed to be low at this time, everyone can do their part to help us respond to this emerging public health threat:

242.   It’s currently flu and respiratory disease season and CDC recommends getting a flu vaccine, taking everyday preventive actions to help stop the spread of germs, and taking flu antivirals if prescribed.

243.   If you are a healthcare provider, be on the look-out for people who recently traveled from China and have fever and respiratory symptoms.

244.   If you are a healthcare provider caring for a COVID-19 patient or a public health responder, please take care of yourself and follow recommended infection control procedures.

245.   If you have been in China or have been exposed to someone sick with COVID-19 in the last 14 days, you will face some limitations on your movement and activity.

246.   Please follow instructions during this time.

247.   Your cooperation is integral to the ongoing public health response to try to slow spread of this virus.

248.   If you develop COVID-19 symptoms, contact your healthcare provider, and tell them about your symptoms and your travel or exposure to a COVID-19 patient.

249.   For people who are ill with COVID-19, please follow CDC guidance on how to reduce the risk of spreading your illness to others.

283.    What happens during coronavirus testing?

284.    If your provider thinks you may have COVID-19, he or she will contact the CDC or your local health department for instructions on testing.

285.    You may be told to go to a special lab for your test.

286.    Only certain labs have been allowed to do tests for COVID-19.

287.    There are a few ways that a lab may get a sample for testing.

288.    Swab test. A health care provider will use a special swab to take a sample from your nose or throat.

289.    Nasal aspirate. A health care provider will inject a saline solution into your nose, then remove the sample with gentle suction.

290.    Tracheal aspirate. A health care provider will put a thin, lighted tube called a bronchoscope down your mouth and into your lungs, where a sample will be collected.

291.    Sputum test. Sputum is a thick mucus that is coughed up from the lungs. You may be asked to cough up sputum into a special cup, or a special swab may be used to take a sample from your nose.

292.    Blood. A health care professional will take a blood sample from a vein in your arm.

293.    The FDA has approved more widespread use of a rapid test for COVID-19.

294.    The test, which was developed by the CDC, uses samples from the nose, throat, or lungs.

295.    It enables fast, accurate diagnosis of the virus.

296.    The test is now allowed to be used at any CDC-approved lab across the country.

297.    Will I need to do anything to prepare for this test?

298.    Your health care provider may ask you to wear a facemask to your appointment.

299.    Your provider will let you know if you should take other steps to prevent the spread of infection.

300.    Are there any risks to the test?

301.    You may feel a tickle or a gagging sensation when your nose or throat is swabbed.

302.    The nasal aspirate may feel uncomfortable.

303.    These effects are temporary.

304.    There is a minor risk of bleeding or infection from a tracheal aspiration.

305.    There is very little risk to having a blood test.

306.    You may have slight pain or bruising at the spot where the needle was put in, but most symptoms go away quickly.

307.    What do the results mean?

308.    If your results were positive, it means you probably have a coronavirus infection.

309.    There is no specific treatment for these infections, but your health care provider may recommend steps to relieve your symptoms.

310.    These include:

311.    Drinking plenty of fluids

312.    Resting

313.    Taking over-the-counter pain relievers

314.    You may need to go to the hospital if your symptoms get worse, which may be a sign of pneumonia.

315.    Symptoms of pneumonia include a worsening cough, increased trouble breathing, and a high fever.

316.    If you were diagnosed with a coronavirus infection, you should also take the following steps to prevent others from getting sick:

317.    Stay home, except to get medical care.

318.    Wear a facemask when you are around other people.

319.    Do not share drinking glasses, eating utensils, towels, bedding, or other items with people in your home.

320.    Cough or sneeze into your sleeve or a tissue, not your hands.

321.    Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

322.    If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

323.    If your results were negative, you may need further testing and/or an exam by your provider.

324.    Until you get a diagnosis, you will still need to take steps to prevent spreading the infection.

325.    Is there anything else I need to know about coronavirus testing?

326.    You can lower your risk of getting an infection by taking the following steps:

327.    Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

328.    If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

329.    Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

330.    When possible, keep away from people who are coughing and sneezing.

331.    Clean frequently-touched objects and surfaces with a household disinfectant spray or wipe.

350.    Summary:

351.    In a study of more than 1,000 patients published in the journal Radiology, chest CT outperformed lab testing in the diagnosis of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The researchers concluded that CT should be used as the primary screening tool for COVID-19.

352.    FULL STORY

354.    In a study of more than 1,000 patients published in the journal Radiology, chest CT outperformed lab testing in the diagnosis of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

355.    The researchers concluded that CT should be used as the primary screening tool for COVID-19.

356.    In the absence of specific therapeutic drugs or vaccines for COVID-19, it is essential to detect the disease at an early stage and immediately isolate an infected patient from the healthy population.

357.    According to the latest guidelines published by the Chinese government, the diagnosis of COVID-19 must be confirmed by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or gene sequencing for respiratory or blood specimens, as the key indicator for hospitalization.

358.    However, with limitations of sample collection and transportation, as well as kit performance, the total positive rate of RT-PCR for throat swab samples has been reported to be about 30% to 60% at initial presentation.

359.    In the current public health emergency, the low sensitivity of RT-PCR implies that a large number of COVID-19 patients won’t be identified quickly and may not receive appropriate treatment.

360.    In addition, given the highly contagious nature of the virus, they carry a risk of infecting a larger population.

361.    “Early diagnosis of COVID-19 is crucial for disease treatment and control.

362.    Compared to RT-PCR, chest CT imaging may be a more reliable, practical and rapid method to diagnose and assess COVID-19, especially in the epidemic area,” the authors wrote.

363.    Chest CT, a routine imaging tool for pneumonia diagnosis, is fast and relatively easy to perform.

364.    Recent research found that the sensitivity of CT for COVID-19 infection was 98% compared to RT-PCR sensitivity of 71%.

365.    For the current study, researchers at Tongji Hospital in Wuhan, China, set out to investigate the diagnostic value and consistency of chest CT imaging in comparison to RT-PCR assay in COVID-19.

366.    Included in the study were 1,014 patients who underwent both chest CT and RT-PCR tests between January 6 and February 6, 2020.

367.    With RT-PCR as reference standard, the performance of chest CT in diagnosing COVID-19 was assessed.

368.    For patients with multiple RT-PCR assays, the dynamic conversion of RT-PCR test results (negative to positive, and positive to negative, respectively) was also analyzed as compared with serial chest CT scans.

369.    The results showed that 601 patients (59%) had positive RT-PCR results, and 888 (88%) had positive chest CT scans.

370.    The sensitivity of chest CT in suggesting COVID-19 was 97%, based on positive RT-PCR results.

371.    In patients with negative RT-PCR results, 75% (308 of 413 patients) had positive chest CT findings. Of these, 48% were considered as highly likely cases, with 33% as probable cases.

372.    By analysis of serial RT-PCR assays and CT scans, the interval between the initial negative to positive RT-PCR results was 4 to 8 days.

373.    “About 81% of the patients with negative RT-PCR results but positive chest CT scans were re-classified as highly likely or probable cases with COVID-19, by the comprehensive analysis of clinical symptoms, typical CT manifestations and dynamic CT follow-ups,” the authors wrote.

387.    New compounds thwart multiple viruses, including coronavirus

388.    Date:

389.    February 26, 2020

391.    American Chemical Society

392.    Summary:

393.    According to a Feb. 13 report from the World Health Organization, the Wuhan coronavirus has stricken more than 46,000 people and has caused over 1,300 deaths [world-wide with few in the U.S. and no deaths in the U.S. – Compared to flu this is a no brainer.] since the first cases in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. [How do they know when the testing is so problematical?]

394.    Now, researchers have designed compounds that block the replication of similar coronaviruses, as well as other disease-causing viruses, in the lab.

395.    The compounds have not yet been tested in people. 

396.    FULL STORY

397.   


398.    According to a February 13 report from the World Health Organization, the Wuhan coronavirus has stricken more than 46,000 people and has caused over 1,300 deaths since the first cases in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Now, researchers reporting in ACS’ Journal of Medicinal Chemistry have designed compounds that block the replication of similar coronaviruses, as well as other disease-causing viruses, in the lab. The compounds have not yet been tested in people.

399.    The Wuhan coronavirus, also known as SARS-CoV-2 or 2019-nCoV, is a close relative to the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus that caused an outbreak in 2003 (SARS-CoV-1), as well as the Middle-East respiratory disease virus (MERS-CoV) that emerged in 2012.

400.    All of these viruses cause flu-like symptoms and, frequently, pneumonia.

401.    However, no effective treatments have been developed, in part because the relatively small number of cases have not warranted large expenditures by pharmaceutical companies.

402.    Hong Liu, Rolf Hilgenfeld and colleagues envisioned a possible solution in the form of broad-spectrum antiviral drugs that target all coronaviruses, as well as enteroviruses — some of which cause conditions like the common cold; hand, foot and mouth disease; and the “summer flu.”

403.    All of these viruses share a similar protein-cutting enzyme, called the “main protease” in coronaviruses and the “3C protease” in enteroviruses, that is essential for viral replication.

404.    The researchers examined X-ray crystal structures of the proteases and then made a series of α-ketoamide compounds that were predicted to fit snugly in the enzymes’ active sites, interfering with their function.

405.    By testing the molecules in the test tube and in human cells in petri dishes, they identified one versatile inhibitor that blocked multiple coronaviruses and enteroviruses, including SARS-CoV-1.

406.    Another molecule showed very strong activity against MERS-CoV, with moderate activity against the other viruses.

407.    Because the main proteases of SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-1 are very similar, the inhibitors will most likely show good antiviral activity against the Wuhan coronavirus, the researchers say.

408.    Their next step will be to test the inhibitors in small-animal models of disease.

WE REPORT. YOU DECIDE.

POTUS TRUMP’S MASTERPIECE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS FEBRUARY 4TH 2020

1.       BARREL, here is POTUS TRUMP’S FEBRUARY 4TH 2020 STATE OF THE UNION speech.

2.       Thanks, PORK. It is a masterpiece. 

      POTUS TRUMP has kept more promises and done more for us BLACKS, WHITES, NATIVE AMERICANS, ASIANS, HISPANICS to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS than any other POTUS except Lincoln and Washington.                                                                                                              

3.       Madam Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, the First Lady of the United States, and my fellow citizens:

4.       Three years ago, we launched the great American comeback. Tonight, I stand before you to share the incredible results. Jobs are booming, incomes are soaring, poverty is plummeting, crime is falling, confidence is surging, and our country is thriving and highly respected again! America’s enemies are on the run, America’s fortunes are on the rise, and America’s future is blazing bright.

5.       The years of economic decay are over. The days of our country being used, taken advantage of, and even scorned by other nations are long behind us. Gone too are the broken promises, jobless recoveries, tired platitudes, and constant excuses for the depletion of American wealth, power, and prestige.

6.       In just 3 short years, we have shattered the mentality of American decline, and we have rejected the downsizing of America’s destiny. We are moving forward at a pace that was unimaginable just a short time ago, and we are never going back!

7.       I am thrilled to report to you tonight that our economy is the best it has ever been. Our military is completely rebuilt, with its power being unmatched anywhere in the world — and it is not even close. Our borders are secure. Our families are flourishing. Our values are renewed. Our pride is restored. And for all these reasons, I say to the people of our great country, and to the Members of Congress before me: The State of our Union is stronger than ever before!

8.       The vision I will lay out this evening demonstrates how we are building the world’s most prosperous and inclusive society — one where every citizen can join in America’s unparalleled success, and where every community can take part in America’s extraordinary rise.

9.       From the instant I took office, I moved rapidly to revive the United States economy — slashing a record number of job-killing regulations, enacting historic and record-setting tax cuts, and fighting for fair and reciprocal trade agreements. Our agenda is relentlessly pro-worker, pro-family, pro-growth, and, most of all, pro-American. We are advancing with unbridled optimism and lifting high our citizens of every race, color, religion, and creed.

10.   Since my election, we have created 7 million new jobs — 5 million more than Government experts projected during the previous administration.

11.   The unemployment rate is the lowest in over half a century.

12.   Incredibly, the average unemployment rate under my Administration is lower than any administration in the history of our country. If we had not reversed the failed economic policies of the previous administration, the world would not now be witness to America’s great economic success.

13.   The unemployment rates for African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Asian-Americans have reached the lowest levels in history. African-American youth unemployment has reached an all-time low.

14.   African-American poverty has declined to the lowest rate ever recorded.

15.   The unemployment rate for women reached the lowest level in almost 70 years — and last year, women filled 72 percent of all new jobs added.

16.   The veterans’ unemployment rate dropped to a record low.

17.   The unemployment rate for disabled Americans has reached an all-time low.

18.   Workers without a high school diploma have achieved the lowest unemployment rate recorded in United States history.

19.   A record number of young Americans are now employed.

20.   Under the last administration, more than 10 million people were added to the food stamp rolls. Under my Administration, 7 million Americans have come off of food stamps, and 10 million people have been lifted off of welfare.

21.   In 8 years under the last administration, over 300,000 working-age people dropped out of the workforce. In just 3 years of my Administration, 3.5 million working-age people have joined the workforce.

22.   Since my election, the net worth of the bottom half of wage-earners has increased by 47 percent — 3 times faster than the increase for the top 1 percent. After decades of flat and falling incomes, wages are rising fast — and, wonderfully, they are rising fastest for low-income workers, who have seen a 16 percent pay-increase since my election. This is a blue collar boom.

23.   Real median household income is now at the highest level ever recorded!

24.   Since my election, United States stock markets have soared 70 percent, adding more than $12 trillion to our Nation’s wealth, transcending anything anyone believed was possible — this, as other countries are not doing well. Consumer confidence has reached amazing new heights.

25.   All of those millions of people with 401(k)s and pensions are doing far better than they have ever done before with increases of 60, 70, 80, 90, and even 100 percent.

26.   Jobs and investment are pouring into 9,000 previously-neglected neighborhoods thanks to Opportunity Zones, a plan spearheaded by Senator Tim Scott as part of our great Republican tax cuts. In other words, wealthy people and companies are pouring money into poor neighborhoods or areas that have not seen investment in many decades, creating jobs, energy, and excitement. This is the first time that these deserving communities have seen anything like this. It is all working!

27.   Opportunity Zones are helping Americans like Army Veteran Tony Rankins from Cincinnati, Ohio. After struggling with drug addiction, Tony lost his job, his house, and his family — he was homeless. But then Tony found a construction company that invests in Opportunity Zones. He is now a top tradesman, drug-free, reunited with his family, and he is here tonight. Tony: Keep up the great work.

28.   Our roaring economy has, for the first time ever, given many former prisoners the ability to get a great job and a fresh start. This second chance at life is made possible because we passed landmark Criminal Justice Reform into law. Everybody said that Criminal Justice Reform could not be done, but I got it done, and the people in this room got it done.

29.   Thanks to our bold regulatory reduction campaign, the United States has become the number one producer of oil and natural gas in the world, by far. With the tremendous progress we have made over the past 3 years, America is now energy independent, and energy jobs, like so many elements of our country, are at a record high. We are doing numbers that no one would have thought possible just 3 years ago.

30.   Likewise, we are restoring our Nation’s manufacturing might, even though predictions were that this could never be done. After losing 60,000 factories under the previous two administrations, America has now gained 12,000 new factories under my Administration with thousands upon thousands of plants and factories being planned or built. We have created over half a million new manufacturing jobs. Companies are not leaving; they are coming back. Everybody wants to be where the action is, and the United States of America is, indeed, where the action is.

31.   One of the single biggest promises I made to the American people was to replace the disastrous NAFTA trade deal. In fact, unfair trade is perhaps the single biggest reason that I decided to run for President. Following NAFTA’s adoption, our Nation lost one in four manufacturing jobs. Many politicians came and went, pledging to change or replace NAFTA — only to do absolutely nothing. But unlike so many who came before me, I keep my promises. Six days ago, I replaced NAFTA and signed the brand new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) into law.

32.   The USMCA will create nearly 100,000 new high-paying American auto jobs, and massively boost exports for our farmers, ranchers, and factory workers. It will also bring trade with Mexico and Canada to a much higher degree, but also to a much greater level of fairness and reciprocity. This is the first major trade deal in many years to earn the strong backing of America’s labor unions.

33.   I also promised our citizens that I would impose tariffs to confront China’s massive theft of American jobs. Our strategy worked. Days ago, we signed the groundbreaking new agreement with China that will defend our workers, protect our intellectual property, bring billions of dollars into our treasury, and open vast new markets for products made and grown right here in the United States of America. For decades, China has taken advantage of the United States, now we have changed that but, at the same time, we have perhaps the best relationship we have ever had with China, including with President Xi. They respect what we have done because, quite frankly, they could never believe what they were able to get away with year after year, decade after decade, without someone in our country stepping up and saying: Enough. Now, we want to rebuild our country, and that is what we are doing.

34.   As we restore American leadership throughout the world, we are once again standing up for freedom in our hemisphere. That is why my Administration reversed the failing policies of the previous administration on Cuba. We are supporting the hopes of Cubans, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to restore democracy. The United States is leading a 59-nation diplomatic coalition against the socialist dictator of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro. Maduro is an illegitimate ruler, a tyrant who brutalizes his people. But Maduro’s grip of tyranny will be smashed and broken. Here this evening is a man who carries with him the hopes, dreams, and aspirations of all Venezuelans. Joining us in the gallery is the true and legitimate President of Venezuela, Juan Guaidó. Mr. President, please take this message back to your homeland. All Americans are united with the Venezuelan people in their righteous struggle for freedom! Socialism destroys nations. But always remember, freedom unifies the soul.

35.   To safeguard American Liberty, we have invested a record-breaking $2.2 trillion in the United States Military. We have purchased the finest planes, missiles, rockets, ships, and every other form of military equipment — all made in the United States of America. We are also finally getting our allies to help pay their fair share. I have raised contributions from the other NATO members by more than $400 billion, and the number of allies meeting their minimum obligations has more than doubled.

36.   And just weeks ago, for the first time since President Truman established the Air Force more than 70 years earlier, we created a new branch of the United States Armed Forces, the Space Force.

37.   In the gallery tonight, we have one of the Space Force’s youngest potential recruits: 13-year-old Iain Lanphier, an eighth grader from Arizona. Iain has always dreamed of going to space. He was first in his class and among the youngest at an aviation academy. He aspires to go to the Air Force Academy, and then, he has his eye on the Space Force. As Iain says, “most people look up at space, I want to look down on the world.”

38.   Sitting beside Iain tonight is his great hero. Charles McGee was born in Cleveland, Ohio, one century ago. Charles is one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen — the first black fighter pilots — and he also happens to be Iain’s great-grandfather. After more than 130 combat missions in World War II, he came back to a country still struggling for Civil Rights and went on to serve America in Korea and Vietnam. On December 7th, Charles celebrated his 100th birthday. A few weeks ago, I signed a bill promoting Charles McGee to Brigadier General. And earlier today, I pinned the stars on his shoulders in the Oval Office. General McGee: Our Nation salutes you.

39.   From the pilgrims to our Founders, from the soldiers at Valley Forge to the marchers at Selma, and from President Lincoln to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Americans have always rejected limits on our children’s future.

40.   Members of Congress, we must never forget that the only victories that matter in Washington are victories that deliver for the American people. The people are the heart of our country, their dreams are the soul of our country, and their love is what powers and sustains our country. We must always remember that our job is to put America first!

41.   The next step forward in building an inclusive society is making sure that every young American gets a great education and the opportunity to achieve the American Dream. Yet, for too long, countless American children have been trapped in failing government schools. To rescue these students, 18 States have created school choice in the form of Opportunity Scholarships. The programs are so popular, that tens of thousands of students remain on waiting lists. One of those students is Janiyah Davis, a fourth grader from Philadelphia. Janiyah’s mom Stephanie is a single parent. She would do anything to give her daughter a better future. But last year, that future was put further out of reach when Pennsylvania’s Governor vetoed legislation to expand school choice for 50,000 children.

42.   Janiyah and Stephanie are in the gallery this evening. But there is more to their story. Janiyah, I am pleased to inform you that your long wait is over. I can proudly announce tonight that an Opportunity Scholarship has become available, it is going to you, and you will soon be heading to the school of your choice!

43.   Now, I call on the Congress to give 1 million American children the same opportunity Janiyah has just received. Pass the Education Freedom Scholarships and Opportunity Act — because no parent should be forced to send their child to a failing government school.

44.   Every young person should have a safe and secure environment in which to learn and grow. For this reason, our magnificent First Lady has launched the “Be Best” initiative — to advance a safe, healthy, supportive, and drug-free life for the next generation, online, in school, and in our communities. Thank you, Melania, for your extraordinary love and profound care for America’s children.

45.   My Administration is determined to give our citizens the opportunities they need regardless of age or background. Through our Pledge to American Workers, over 400 companies will also provide new jobs and education opportunities to almost 15 million Americans.

46.   My Budget also contains an exciting vision for our Nation’s high schools. Tonight, I ask the Congress to support our students and back my plan to offer vocational and technical education in every single high school in America.

47.   To expand equal opportunity, I am also proud that we achieved record and permanent funding for our Nation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

48.   A good life for American families also requires the most affordable, innovative, and high-quality healthcare system on Earth. Before I took office, health insurance premiums had more than doubled in just 5 years. I moved quickly to provide affordable alternatives. Our new plans are up to 60 percent less expensive. I have also made an ironclad pledge to American families: We will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions — that is a guarantee. And we will always protect your Medicare and your Social Security.

49.   The American patient should never be blindsided by medical bills. That is why I signed an Executive Order requiring price transparency. Many experts believe that transparency, which will go into full effect at the beginning of next year, will be even bigger than healthcare reform. It will save families massive amounts of money for substantially better care.

50.   But as we work to improve Americans’ healthcare, there are those who want to take away your healthcare, take away your doctor, and abolish private insurance entirely. One hundred thirty-two lawmakers in this room have endorsed legislation to impose a socialist takeover of our healthcare system, wiping out the private health insurance plans of 180 million Americans. To those watching at home tonight, I want you to know: We will never let socialism destroy American healthcare!

51.   Over 130 legislators in this chamber have endorsed legislation that would bankrupt our Nation by providing free taxpayer-funded healthcare to millions of illegal aliens, forcing taxpayers to subsidize free care for anyone in the world who unlawfully crosses our borders. These proposals would raid the Medicare benefits our seniors depend on, while acting as a powerful lure for illegal immigration. This is what is happening in California and other States — their systems are totally out of control, costing taxpayers vast and unaffordable amounts of money. If forcing American taxpayers to provide unlimited free healthcare to illegal aliens sounds fair to you, then stand with the radical left. But if you believe that we should defend American patients and American seniors, then stand with me and pass legislation to prohibit free Government healthcare for illegal aliens!

52.   This will be a tremendous boon to our already very-strongly guarded southern border where, as we speak, a long, tall, and very powerful wall is being built. We have now completed over 100 miles and will have over 500 miles fully completed by early next year.

53.   My Administration is also taking on the big pharmaceutical companies. We have approved a record number of affordable generic drugs, and medicines are being approved by the FDA at a faster clip than ever before. I was pleased to announce last year that, for the first time in 51 years, the cost of prescription drugs actually went down.

54.   And working together, the Congress can reduce drug prices substantially from current levels. I have been speaking to Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa and others in the Congress in order to get something on drug pricing done, and done properly. I am calling for bipartisan legislation that achieves the goal of dramatically lowering prescription drug prices. Get a bill to my desk, and I will sign it into law without delay.

55.   With unyielding commitment, we are curbing the opioid epidemic — drug overdose deaths declined for the first time in nearly 30 years. Among the States hardest hit, Ohio is down 22 percent, Pennsylvania is down 18 percent, Wisconsin is down 10 percent — and we will not quit until we have beaten the opioid epidemic once and for all.

56.   Protecting Americans’ health also means fighting infectious diseases. We are coordinating with the Chinese government and working closely together on the Coronavirus outbreak in China. My Administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat.

57.   We have launched ambitious new initiatives to substantially improve care for Americans with kidney disease, Alzheimer’s, and those struggling with mental health challenges. And because the Congress funded my request, we are pursuing new cures for childhood cancer, and we will eradicate the AIDS epidemic in America by the end of the decade.

58.   Almost every American family knows the pain when a loved one is diagnosed with a serious illness. Here tonight is a special man, someone beloved by millions of Americans who just received a Stage 4 advanced cancer diagnosis. This is not good news, but what is good news is that he is the greatest fighter and winner that you will ever meet. Rush Limbaugh: Thank you for your decades of tireless devotion to our country. Rush, in recognition of all that you have done for our Nation, the millions of people a day that you speak to and inspire, and all of the incredible work that you have done for charity, I am proud to announce tonight that you will be receiving our country’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I will now ask the First Lady of the United States to please stand and present you with the honor. Rush, Kathryn, congratulations!

59.   As we pray for all who are sick, we know that America is constantly achieving new medical breakthroughs. In 2017, doctors at St. Luke’s hospital in Kansas City delivered one of the earliest premature babies ever to survive. Born at just 21 weeks and 6 days, and weighing less than a pound, Ellie Schneider was born a fighter. Through the skill of her doctors — and the prayers of her parents — little Ellie kept on winning the battle for life. Today, Ellie is a strong, healthy 2-year-old girl sitting with her amazing mother Robin in the gallery. Ellie and Robin: We are so glad you are here.

60.   Ellie reminds us that every child is a miracle of life. Thanks to modern medical wonders, 50 percent of very premature babies delivered at the hospital where Ellie was born now survive. Our goal should be to ensure that every baby has the best chance to thrive and grow just like Ellie. That is why I am asking the Congress to provide an additional $50 million to fund neo-natal research for America’s youngest patients. That is also why I am calling upon the Members of Congress here tonight to pass legislation finally banning the late-term abortion of babies.

61.   Whether we are Republican, Democrat, or Independent, surely we must all agree that every human life is a sacred gift from God!

62.   As we support America’s moms and dads, I was recently proud to sign the law providing new parents in the Federal workforce paid family leave, serving as a model for the rest of the country. Now, I call on the Congress to pass the bipartisan Advancing Support for Working Families Act, extending family leave to mothers and fathers all across the Nation.

63.   Forty million American families have an average $2,200 extra thanks to our child tax credit. I have also overseen historic funding increases for high-quality child care, enabling 17 States to serve more children, many of which have reduced or eliminated their waitlists altogether. And I sent the Congress a plan with a vision to further expand access to high-quality childcare and urge you to act immediately.

64.   To protect the environment, days ago, I announced that the United States will join the One Trillion Trees Initiative, an ambitious effort to bring together Government and the private sector to plant new trees in America and around the world.

65.   We must also rebuild America’s infrastructure. I ask you to pass Senator Barrasso’s highway bill — to invest in new roads, bridges, and tunnels across our land.

66.   I am also committed to ensuring that every citizen can have access to high-speed internet, including rural America.

67.   A better tomorrow for all Americans also requires us to keep America safe. That means supporting the men and women of law enforcement at every level, including our Nation’s heroic ICE officers.

68.   Last year, our brave ICE officers arrested more than 120,000 criminal aliens charged with nearly 10,000 burglaries, 5,000 sexual assaults, 45,000 violent assaults, and 2,000 murders.

69.   Tragically, there are many cities in America where radical politicians have chosen to provide sanctuary for these criminal illegal aliens. In Sanctuary Cities, local officials order police to release dangerous criminal aliens to prey upon the public, instead of handing them over to ICE to be safely removed.

70.   Just 29 days ago, a criminal alien freed by the Sanctuary City of New York was charged with the brutal rape and murder of a 92-year-old woman. The killer had been previously arrested for assault, but under New York’s sanctuary policies, he was set free. If the city had honored ICE’s detainer request, his victim would be alive today.

71.   The State of California passed an outrageous law declaring their whole State to be a sanctuary for criminal illegal immigrants — with catastrophic results.

72.   Here is just one tragic example. In December 2018, California police detained an illegal alien with five prior arrests, including convictions for robbery and assault. But as required by California’s Sanctuary Law, local authorities released him.

73.   Days later, the criminal alien went on a gruesome spree of deadly violence. He viciously shot one man going about his daily work; he approached a woman sitting in her car and shot her in the arm and the chest. He walked into a convenience store and wildly fired his weapon. He hijacked a truck and smashed into vehicles, critically injuring innocent victims. One of the victims of his bloody rampage was a 51-year-old American named Rocky Jones. Rocky was at a gas station when this vile criminal fired eight bullets at him from close range, murdering him in cold blood. Rocky left behind a devoted family, including his brothers who loved him more than anything. One of his grieving brothers is here with us tonight. Jody, would you please stand? Jody, our hearts weep for your loss — and we will not rest until you have justice.

74.   Senator Thom Tillis has introduced legislation to allow Americans like Jody to sue Sanctuary Cities and States when a loved one is hurt or killed as a result of these deadly policies. I ask the Congress to pass the Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities Act immediately. The United States of America should be a sanctuary for law-abiding Americans — not criminal aliens!

75.   In the last 3 years, ICE has arrested over 5,000 wicked human traffickers — and I have signed 9 pieces of legislation to stamp out the menace of human trafficking, domestically and around the globe.

76.   My Administration has undertaken an unprecedented effort to secure the southern border of the United States.

77.   Before I came into office, if you showed up illegally on our southern border and were arrested, you were simply released and allowed into our country, never to be seen again. My Administration has ended Catch-and-Release. If you come illegally, you will now be promptly removed. We entered into historic cooperation agreements with the Governments of Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala. As a result of our unprecedented efforts, illegal crossings are down 75 percent since May — dropping 8 straight months in a row. And as the wall goes up, drug seizures rise, and border crossings go down.

78.   Last year, I traveled to the border in Texas and met Chief Patrol Agent Raul Ortiz. Over the last 24 months, Agent Ortiz and his team have seized more than 200,000 pounds of poisonous narcotics, arrested more than 3,000 human smugglers, and rescued more than 2,000 migrants. Days ago, Agent Ortiz was promoted to Deputy Chief of Border Patrol — and he joins us tonight. Chief Ortiz: Please stand — a grateful Nation thanks you and all the heroes of Border Patrol.

79.   To build on these historic gains, we are working on legislation to replace our outdated and randomized immigration system with one based on merit, welcoming those who follow the rules, contribute to our economy, support themselves financially, and uphold our values.

80.   With every action, my Administration is restoring the rule of law and re-asserting the culture of American freedom. Working with Senate Majority Leader McConnell and his colleagues in the Senate, we have confirmed a record number of 187 new Federal judges to uphold our Constitution as written. This includes two brilliant new Supreme Court Justices, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh.

81.   My Administration is also defending religious liberty, and that includes the Constitutional right to pray in public schools. In America, we do not punish prayer. We do not tear down crosses. We do not ban symbols of faith. We do not muzzle preachers and pastors. In America, we celebrate faith. We cherish religion. We lift our voices in prayer, and we raise our sights to the Glory of God!

82.   Just as we believe in the First Amendment, we also believe in another Constitutional right that is under siege all across our country. So long as I am President I will always protect your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

83.   In reaffirming our heritage as a free Nation, we must remember that America has always been a frontier nation. Now we must embrace the next frontier, America’s manifest destiny in the stars. I am asking the Congress to fully fund the Artemis program to ensure that the next man and the first woman on the moon will be American astronauts — using this as a launching pad to ensure that America is the first nation to plant its flag on Mars.

84.   My Administration is also strongly defending our national security and combating radical Islamic terrorism. Last week, I announced a groundbreaking plan for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Recognizing that all past attempts have failed, we must be determined and creative in order to stabilize the region and give millions of young people the change to realize a better future.

85.   Three years ago, the barbarians of ISIS held over 20,000 square miles of territory in Iraq and Syria. Today, the ISIS territorial caliphate has been 100 percent destroyed, and the founder and leader of ISIS — the bloodthirsty killer Al‑Baghdadi — is dead!

86.   We are joined this evening by Carl and Marsha Mueller. After graduating from college, their beautiful daughter Kayla became a humanitarian aid worker. Kayla once wrote, “Some people find God in church. Some people find God in nature. Some people find God in love; I find God in suffering. I’ve known for some time what my life’s work is, using my hands as tools to relieve suffering.” In 2013, while caring for suffering civilians in Syria, Kayla was kidnapped, tortured, and enslaved by ISIS, and kept as a prisoner of Al-Baghdadi himself. After more than 500 horrifying days of captivity, Al-Baghdadi murdered young Kayla. She was just 26 years old.

87.   On the night that United States Special Forces Operators ended Al‑Baghdadi’s miserable life, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, received a call in the Situation Room. He was told that the brave men of the elite Special Forces team, that so perfectly carried out the operation, had given their mission a name — “Task Force 8-14.” It was a reference to a special day: August 14th — Kayla’s birthday. Carl and Marsha, America’s warriors never forgot Kayla — and neither will we.

88.   Every day, America’s men and women in uniform demonstrate the infinite depths of love that dwells in the human heart.

89.   One of these American heroes was Army Staff Sergeant Christopher Hake. On his second deployment to Iraq in 2008, Sergeant Hake wrote a letter to his 1-year-old son, Gage: “I will be with you again,” he wrote to Gage. “I will teach you to ride your first bike, build your first sand box, watch you play sports and see you have kids also. I love you son, take care of your mother. I am always with you. Dad.” On Easter Sunday of 2008, Chris was out on patrol in Baghdad when his Bradley Fighting Vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb. That night, he made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Sergeant Hake now rests in eternal glory in Arlington, and his wife Kelli is in the gallery tonight, joined by their son, who is now 13 years old. To Kelli and Gage: Chris will live in our hearts forever.

90.   The terrorist responsible for killing Sergeant Hake was Qasem Soleimani, who provided the deadly roadside bomb that took Chris’s life. Soleimani was the Iranian Regime’s most ruthless butcher, a monster who murdered or wounded thousands of American service members in Iraq. As the world’s top terrorist, Soleimani orchestrated the deaths of countless men, women, and children. He directed the December assault on United States Forces in Iraq, and was actively planning new attacks. That is why, last month, at my direction, the United States Military executed a flawless precision strike that killed Soleimani and terminated his evil reign of terror forever.

91.   Our message to the terrorists is clear: You will never escape American justice. If you attack our citizens, you forfeit your life!

92.   In recent months, we have seen proud Iranians raise their voices against their oppressive rulers. The Iranian regime must abandon its pursuit of nuclear weapons, stop spreading terror, death, and destruction, and start working for the good of its own people. Because of our powerful sanctions, the Iranian economy is doing very poorly. We can help them make it very good in a short period of time, but perhaps they are too proud or too foolish to ask for that help. We are here. Let’s see which road they choose. It is totally up to them.

93.   As we defend American lives, we are working to end America’s wars in the Middle East.

94.   In Afghanistan, the determination and valor of our warfighters has allowed us to make tremendous progress, and peace talks are underway. I am not looking to kill hundreds of thousands of people in Afghanistan, many of them innocent. It is also not our function to serve other nations as a law enforcement agency. These are warfighters, the best in the world, and they either want to fight to win or not fight at all. We are working to finally end America’s longest war and bring our troops back home!

95.   War places a heavy burden on our Nation’s extraordinary military families, especially spouses like Amy Williams from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and her 2 children — 6-year-old Elliana and 3-year-old Rowan. Amy works full time, and volunteers countless hours helping other military families. For the past 7 months, she has done it all while her husband, Sergeant First Class Townsend Williams, is in Afghanistan on his fourth deployment to the Middle East. Amy’s kids have not seen their father’s face in many months. Amy, your family’s sacrifice makes it possible for all of our families to live in safety and peace — we thank you.

96.   As the world bears witness tonight, America is a land of heroes. This is the place where greatness is born, where destinies are forged, and where legends come to life. This is the home of Thomas Edison and Teddy Roosevelt, of many great Generals, including Washington, Pershing, Patton, and MacArthur. This is the home of Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Amelia Earhart, Harriet Tubman, the Wright Brothers, Neil Armstrong, and so many more. This is the country where children learn names like Wyatt Earp, Davy Crockett, and Annie Oakley. This is the place where the pilgrims landed at Plymouth and where Texas patriots made their last stand at the Alamo.

97.   The American Nation was carved out of the vast frontier by the toughest, strongest, fiercest, and most determined men and women ever to walk the face of the Earth. Our ancestors braved the unknown; tamed the wilderness; settled the Wild West; lifted millions from poverty, disease, and hunger; vanquished tyranny and fascism; ushered the world to new heights of science and medicine; laid down the railroads, dug out canals, raised up the skyscrapers — and, ladies and gentlemen, our ancestors built the most exceptional Republic ever to exist in all of human history. And we are making it greater than ever before!

98.   This is our glorious and magnificent inheritance.

99.   We are Americans. We are the pioneers. We are the pathfinders. We settled the new world, we built the modern world, and we changed history forever by embracing the eternal truth that everyone is made equal by the hand of Almighty God.

100.           America is the place where anything can happen! America is the place where anyone can rise. And here, on this land, on this soil, on this continent, the most incredible dreams come true!

101.           This Nation is our canvas, and this country is our masterpiece. We look at tomorrow and see unlimited frontiers just waiting to be explored. Our brightest discoveries are not yet known. Our most thrilling stories are not yet told. Our grandest journeys are not yet made. The American Age, the American Epic, the American Adventure, has only just begun!

102.           Our spirit is still young; the sun is still rising; God’s grace is still shining; and my fellow Americans, the best is yet to come!

103.           Thank you. God Bless You. God Bless America.

Mitt Romney’s Faustian Bargain with the democrats? BARREL & PORK.

1. So PORK, what do you think of Mitt Romney’s vote for witnesses, and for conviction of POTUS TRUMP?

2. Well, BARREL, I think Mitt Romney is an interesting study in human nature.

3. How so, PORK.

4. BARREL, Mitt is handsome. He is smart. He is well dressed in his navy suit. He has held significant offices. He ran for POTUS. He gives every appearance of having a strong religious moral compass. Notwithstanding, and I could be wrong, it does look like Mitt has a tragic fatal flaw.

5. What is a tragic fatal flaw, PORK?

6. Well, BARREL, a tragic fatal flaw is what is called hamartia or hamartanein, which means “to err.”

7. This is a fatal personality deficiency that ultimately leads to the loss of influence and the downfall of the tragic hero.

8. This hamartia, this fatal flaw, fault, failure, guilt, is revealed in Greek tragedy by what the protagonist does and what he or she says.

9. This tragic flaw can be such things as ambition, cowardice, over-protectiveness, or self-sacrifice.

10. Actually, this tragic fatal flaw may be many different character traits if they become responsible for failure, self or other destruction, or death.

11. In a nutshell, a tragic fatal flaw is a character defect that leads to a person’s marginalization, self-destruction, and downfall.

12. Lack of self-knowledge or awareness, lack of good judgment are tragic fatal flaws; but most often hubris or pride  provides the seedbed for or is in fact the central core tragic fatal flaw.

13. So how does this work, PORK?

14.  Well, BARREL, think about Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

15. One of Hamlet’s tragic fatal flaws is indecisiveness which is seen in his thinking about whether vengeance is wrong or right and this “back and forth nature” determines Hamlet’s downfall.

16. Hamlet wavers back and forth: “To be, or not to be – that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep … No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep …”

10. Goethe’s Dr. Faustus’ tragic flaw is his overweening ambition which leads to what has come to be called a Fautian bargain with the Devil.

11. Because Faust was so ambitious, wanting unlimited knowledge and unlimited pleasures, he made a contract with Satan and sold his soul for short term gains and pottage.

12. Finally, when his soul is taken to hell, Faust realizes his sin, tries to repent, but it was too late. Lucifer, the ruler of hell, had encircled him in his chains and diabolical control.

11. Othello killed his faithful Desdemona and self-destructed kills himself because of his tragic fatal flaw of jealousy.

12. And of course you know Sophocle’s Oedipus the King was beset with pride which was his tragic fatal flaw.

13. And in The Crucible by Arthur Miller, prideful John Proctor goes to his death because of his pride.

14. So what you are saying, PORK, is that Mitt Romney has a tragic fatal flaw despite the fact that he was elected governor and senator and has great wealth and a beautiful family.

15. What is it, PORK? What is Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw?

16. BARREL, I do not think I am wrong.

17.  I think Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw is best identified and defined by how Mitt treated and treats POTUS TRUMP; best defined by Mitt’s election loss contrasted with POTUS TRUMP’S election win.

18. Remember these facts which were all over the papers and tabloids and television and radio.

19. Mitt asked POTUS TRUMP to support him when Mitt ran for POTUS.

20. Mitt and his wife dined with POTUS TRUMP, schmoozed POTUS TRUMP and Melania, and POTUS TRUMP graciously and with largeness of soul gave Mitt his unwavering support.

21. Juxtapose when POTUS TRUMP ran for office and POTUS TRUMP asked Mitt for his support.

22. Mitt refused to give POTUS TRUMP his unwavering support; in fact, Mitt trashed POTUS TRUMP and has continued to trash POTUS TRUMP repeatedly.

23. So I think this says it all.

24. Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw is the tragic fatal flaw violation and continued violation of the American, indeed world-wide, honor code of reciprocity.

25. Today in the Senate trial, given Mitt’s vocal penchant for witnesses, and Mitt’s leaning toward voting against POTUS TRUMP, it would appear that Mitt egotistically is doing the same thing again to POTUS TRUMP.

16. So PORK, you are just saying that Mitt was and is willing to take but was and is unwilling to give. You are just saying that Harvard millionaire Bain Capital Mitt felt pridefully entitled to Builder Entrepreneur billionaire POTUS TRUMP’S support because Harvard Millionaire Bain Capital Mitt was one of the moral elite and thus so much “better than Builder Entrepreneur billionaire POTUS TRUMP.”

17. Yes, BARREL. Recognizing the perils of judging, and admitting I could be wrong, Harvard Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw appears to be his pride and lack of humility. It appears to those of us deplorables watching from the sidelines that at the heart of this matter, Harvard Mitt’s conduct is not in reality based on moral principle; instead it is a continuing expression not of caring and love for POTUS TRUMP but rather that of enmity and antipathy toward POTUS TRUMP.

18. It appears to us deplorables that Harvard Mitt apparently thought and thinks he was and is somehow better than POTUS TRUMP and that he Harvard Bain Capital Mitt is deserving of POTUS TRUMP’S support; while at the same time Harvard Bain Capital Mitt appears to believe that POTUS TRUMP for whatever reason did not and does not rise to Mitt’s high standard as being worthy and deserving of Mitt’s support. What Mitt is apparently unwilling to recognize is that POTUS TRUMP attended Kew-Forest School, Fordham University, New York Military Academy, and Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and is a billionaire which last count I believe ecclipses millionaire. And if I’m not mistaken, POTUS TRUMP, Warren Buffett, Ivanka Trump, Elon Musk, Peter Lynch, Jon Huntsman Sr, are but a few of Wharton’s distinguished alumni. And I think Penn has produced the most billionaires on Forbe’s 400 Richest List.

19. So is there reconciliation between the two men, PORK? And if so, how so PORK?

20.Sure, BARREL. There can be reconciliation but such reconciliation is more than likely not on POTUS TRUMP’S side of the ledger.

21. I mean, look at it, BARREL. POTUS TRUMP offered Mitt his support. And Mitt refused to reciprocate.

22. Next, POTUS TRUMP has gone on to keep more political promises and do more for the American people than any president since Lincoln and before him Washington. In no way can millionaire Mitt match POTUS TRUMP’S billionaire political performance.

23. Seems to me that Mitt may want to rethink how he is perceived and what he is doing. He may just want to swallow his pride and jump on the POTUS TRUMP band wagon, say I’m sorry, and campaign and labor diligently to help POTUS TRUMP and the Republicans succeed in a second term and throughout the nation rather than kowtowing to the partisan democrats including of all people Adam Schiff who has blatantly lied about POTUS TRUMP repeatedly; keeping in mind, Mitt, that any bargain with the democrats is Faustian at best.

24. Yes, PORK. And while we are having this discussion, it certainly looks like the Utah electorate, most of whom are trending pro-TRUMP now, will have been hoodwinked by Mitt because he appears to have carpet bagged into Utah to run for Orrin Hatch’s Senate Seat; and this is especially true now that Mitt has voted turncoat to the Republicans and POTUS TRUMP after claiming he Mitt prolonged this tedious partisan, unconstitutional impeachment by calling for witnesses and then voted against POTUS TRUMP after citing specious moral grounds.

White House POTUS TRUMP Counsel humorously wins case by skewering Democrats Nadler and Lofgren and Menendez and Schumer with their own words.

1. So PORK, White House Counsel Pat Cipollone concluded opening arguments in the president’s defense in the Senate impeachment trial on Tuesday afternoon by playing video clips of Democrats arguing against President Bill Clinton’s impeachment in 1998. 


2. Take a look at the video, PORK. 


3. You do have to wade thru an ad or two but it is worth it. 


4. This will go down in history as the greatest “gotcha” in the history of political and legal defense. 


5. Some of those Democrats — such as Reps. 

6. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and 

7. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) — 

8. are among the House managers urging the Senate to remove Trump from office. 

6. Others — such as then-Rep. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) — are now in the Senate themselves.

7. And of course we have Chuck Schumer as well.


8. These Democrats made the case for the Republicans.


9. What more is there to say? Nothing.


10. Senators need to ask their questions, vote to acquit and be done!


11. I know we the American people would welcome this.

329.        INCREDIBLE MEGAN CROWLEY IS WITH US TODAY. An incredible young woman is with us this evening who should serve as an inspiration to us all. Today is Rare Disease day, and joining us in the gallery is a Rare Disease Survivor, Megan Crowley.  Megan was diagnosed with Pompe Disease, a rare and serious illness, when she was 15 months old.  She was not expected to live past 5. On receiving this news, Megan’s dad, John, fought with everything he had to save the life of his precious child.  He founded a company to look for a cure, and helped develop the drug that saved Megan’s life.  Today she is 20 years old – and a sophomore at Notre Dame. Megan’s story is about the unbounded power of a father’s love for a daughter. 

330.        FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION APPROVAL PROCESSES MUST BE ACCELERATED NOW. “But our slow and burdensome approval process at the Food and Drug Administration keeps too many advances, like the one that saved Megan’s life, from reaching those in need. If we slash the restraints, not just at the FDA but across our Government, then we will be blessed with far more miracles like Megan.


331.        WE MUST ENRICH THE MIND AND SOUL OF EACH AMERICAN CHILD. I ASK MEMBERS OF BOTH PARTIES TO PASS AN EDUCATION BILL THAT FUNDS SCHOOL CHOICE TO PUBLIC, PRIVATE, CHARTER, MAGNET, RELIGIOUS, OR HOME SCHOOL FOR ALL YOUTH, FOR DISADVANTAGED YOUTH, INCLUDING MILLIONS OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND LATINO CHILDREN. “In fact, our children will grow up in a Nation of miracles. But to achieve this future, we must enrich the mind –- and the souls –- of every American child. Education is the civil rights issue of our time. I am calling upon Members of both parties to pass an education bill that funds school choice for disadvantaged youth, including millions of African-American and Latino children.  These families should be free to choose the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school that is right for them.

332.        DENISHA MERRIWEATHER IS WITH US TONIGHT. WE MUST BREAK THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE IN ORDER TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY. “Joining us tonight in the gallery is a remarkable woman, Denisha Merriweather.  As a young girl, Denisha struggled in school and failed third grade twice. But then she was able to enroll in a private center for learning, with the help of a tax credit scholarship program. Today, she is the first in her family to graduate, not just from high school, but from college.  Later this year she will get her masters degree in social work. We want all children to be able to break the cycle of poverty just like Denisha. But to break the cycle of poverty, we must also break the cycle of violence.

333.        THE MURDER RATE IS HORRIFIC. MORE THAN 4,000 PEOPLE WERE SHOT IN CHICAGO LAST YEAR. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. “The murder rate in 2015 experienced its largest single-year increase in nearly half a century. In Chicago, more than 4,000 people were shot last year alone –- and the murder rate so far this year has been even higher. This is not acceptable in our society.

334.        EVERY AMERICAN CHILD MUST BE ABLE TO GROW UP IN A SAFE COMMUNITY, ATTEND A GREAT SCHOOL, AND HAVE ACCESS TO A HIGH-PAYING JOB. “Every American child should be able to grow up in a safe community, to attend a great school, and to have access to a high-paying job.

335.        WE MUST WORK WITH THE MEN AND WOMEN OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. “But to create this future, we must work with –- not against -– the men and women of law enforcement.

336.        WE MUST BUILD BRIDGES OF COOPERATION AND TRUST WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. “We must build bridges of cooperation and trust –-

337.        WE MUST NOT DRIVE THE WEDGE OF DISUNITY AND DIVISION. “not drive the wedge of disunity and division.

338.        WE MUST HONOR AND SUPPORT OUR POLICE AND SHERIFFS. “Police and sheriffs are members of our community. They are friends and neighbors, they are mothers and fathers, sons and daughters – and they leave behind loved ones every day who worry whether or not they’ll come home safe and sound. We must support the incredible men and women of law enforcement.

339.        WE MUST SUPPORT VICTIMS OF CRIME. “And we must support the victims of crime.

340.        I HAVE ORDERED THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY TO CREATE AN OFFICE TO SERVE AMERICAN VICTIMS. I WILL NOT FORGET THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN KILLED BY AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD. ‘I have ordered the Department of Homeland Security to create an office to serve American Victims. The office is called VOICE –- Victims Of Immigration Crime Engagement. We are providing a voice to those who have been ignored by our media, and silenced by special interests. Joining us in the audience tonight are four very brave Americans whose government failed them. Their names are Jamiel Shaw, Susan Oliver, Jenna Oliver, and Jessica Davis. Jamiel’s 17-year-old son was viciously murdered by an illegal immigrant gang member, who had just been released from prison. Jamiel Shaw Jr. was an incredible young man, with unlimited potential who was getting ready to go to college where he would have excelled as a great quarterback.  But he never got the chance. His father, who is in the audience tonight, has become a good friend of mine. Also with us are Susan Oliver and Jessica Davis. Their husbands –- Deputy Sheriff Danny Oliver and Detective Michael Davis –- were slain in the line of duty in California. They were pillars of their community. These brave men were viciously gunned down by an illegal immigrant with a criminal record and two prior deportations. Sitting with Susan is her daughter, Jenna. Jenna:  I want you to know that your father was a hero, and that tonight you have the love of an entire country supporting you and praying for you. To Jamiel, Jenna, Susan and Jessica:  I want you to know –- we will never stop fighting for justice. Your loved ones will never be forgotten, we will always honor their memory.

341.        I AM ASKING CONGRESS TO APPROVE MY BUDGET TO PROVIDE THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WITH THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO PREVENT, FIGHT, AND WIN WAR – TO REBUILD OUR MILITARY, TO ELIMINATE THE DEFENSE SEQUESTER, TO INCREASE THE NATIONAL DEFENSE SPENDING NEEDED, AND TO FUND HELP FOR OUR VETERANS. I WILL REMEMBER, WITH ALL WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES, U.S. NAVY SPECIAL OPERATOR, SENIOR CHIEF WILLIAM “RYAN” OWENS.“Finally, to keep America Safe we must provide the men and women of the United States military with the tools they need to prevent war and –- if they must –- to fight and to win. I am sending the Congress a budget that rebuilds the military, eliminates the Defense sequester, and calls for one of the largest increases in national defense spending in American history. My budget will also increase funding for our veterans. Our veterans have delivered for this Nation –- and now we must deliver for them. The challenges we face as a Nation are great. But our people are even greater. And none are greater or braver than those who fight for America in uniform. We are blessed to be joined tonight by Carryn Owens, the widow of a U.S. Navy Special Operator, Senior Chief William “Ryan” Owens. Ryan died as he lived:  a warrior, and a hero –- battling against terrorism and securing our Nation. I just spoke to General Mattis, who reconfirmed that, and I quote, “Ryan was a part of a highly successful raid that generated large amounts of vital intelligence that will lead to many more victories in the future against our enemies.” Ryan’s legacy is etched into eternity. For as the Bible teaches us, there is no greater act of love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. Ryan laid down his life for his friends, for his country, and for our freedom –- we will never forget him.

342.        OUR FOREIGN POLICY CALLS FOR DIRECT, ROBUST, MEANINGFUL LEADERSHIP AND ENGAGEMENT WITH THE WORLD. “To those allies who wonder what kind of friend America will be, look no further than the heroes who wear our uniform. Our foreign policy calls for a direct, robust and meaningful engagement with the world. It is American leadership based on vital security interests that we share with our allies across the globe.

343.        WE SUPPORT NATO. “We strongly support NATO, an alliance forged through the bonds of two World Wars that dethroned fascism, and a Cold War that defeated communism.

344.        OUR PARTNERS IN NATO AND OTHER THEATERS MUST MEET THEIR FINANCIAL AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS. THEY MUST PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF THE COST. “But our partners must meet their financial obligations. And now, based on our very strong and frank discussions, they are beginning to do just that. We expect our partners, whether in NATO, in the Middle East, or the Pacific –-  to take a direct and meaningful role in both strategic and military operations, and pay their fair share of the cost.

345.        WE RESPECT HISTORIC INSTITUTIONS, BUT WE RESPECT SOVEREIGN RIGHTS OF NATIONS. FREE NATIONS MUST CHART THEIR OWN COURSE. “We will respect historic institutions, but we will also respect the sovereign rights of nations. Free nations are the best vehicle for expressing the will of the people –- and America respects the right of all nations to chart their own path.  

346.        I DO NOT REPRESENT THE WORLD. I REPRESENT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THAT IS MY JOB. “My job is not to represent the world. My job is to represent the United States of America.

347.        AMERICA IS BETTER OFF WHEN THERE IS LESS CONFLICT. “But we know that America is better off, when there is less conflict — not more.

348.        WE MUST LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST. “We must learn from the mistakes of the past –- we have seen the war and destruction that have raged across our world.

349.        IN THESE HUMANITARIAN DISASTERS, DISPLACED PERSONS MUST BE AFFORDED THE RIGHT AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO RETURN HOME. “The only long-term solution for these humanitarian disasters is to create the conditions where displaced persons can safely return home and begin the long process of rebuilding.

350.        AMERICA IS WILLING TO FIND NEW FRIENDS, FORGE NEW PARTNERSHIPS, WHERE SHARED INTERESTS ALIGN. AMERICA WANTS PEACE. WE WANT JUSTICE. WE WANT FREEDOM. “America is willing to find new friends, and to forge new partnerships, where shared interests align.  We want harmony and stability, not war and conflict. We want peace, wherever peace can be found. America is friends today with former enemies. Some of our closest allies, decades ago, fought on the opposite side of these World Wars. This history should give us all faith in the possibilities for a better world. Hopefully, the 250th year for America will see a world that is more peaceful, more just and more free.

351.        WE MUST SET FREE THE DREAMS OF OUR PEOPLE TO BUILD, PAINT, INVENT, CURE ILLNESSES, AND SET FOOT ON DISTANT WORLDS. “On our 100th anniversary, in 1876, citizens from across our Nation came to Philadelphia to celebrate America’s centennial. At that celebration, the country’s builders and artists and inventors showed off their creations. Alexander Graham Bell displayed his telephone for the first time. Remington unveiled the first typewriter. An early attempt was made at electric light. Thomas Edison showed an automatic telegraph and an electric pen. Imagine the wonders our country could know in America’s 250th year. Think of the marvels we can achieve if we simply set free the dreams of our people. Cures to illnesses that have always plagued us are not too much to hope. American footprints on distant worlds are not too big a dream. Millions lifted from welfare to work is not too much to expect. And streets where mothers are safe from fear – schools where children learn in peace – and jobs where Americans prosper and grow – are not too much to ask. When we have all of this, we will have made America greater than ever before.

352.        THIS IS OUR VISION AND OUR MISSION FOR ALL AMERICANS. WE ARE ONE PEOPLE. WE BLEED THE SAME BLOOD. WE SALUTE THE SAME FLAG. WE ARE MADE BY THE SAME GOD. WE CELEBRATE 250 YEARS OF GLORIOUS FREEDOM. THIS IS A NEW CHAPTER IN AMERICAN GREATNESS. THE TIME FOR SMALL THINKING IS PAST. WE NEED COURAGE. WE NEED CONFIDENCE. WE MUST BE INSPIRED BY THE FUTURE, NOT BOUND BY THE FAILURES OF THE PAST, GUIDED BY OUR VISION, NOT BLINDED BY OUR DOUBTS. “For all Americans. This is our vision. This is our mission. But we can only get there together. We are one people, with one destiny. We all bleed the same blood. We all salute the same flag. And we are all made by the same God. And when we fulfill this vision; when we celebrate our 250 years of glorious freedom, we will look back on tonight as when this new chapter of American Greatness began. The time for small thinking is over. The time for trivial fights is behind us. We just need the courage to share the dreams that fill our hearts. The bravery to express the hopes that stir our souls. And the confidence to turn those hopes and dreams to action. From now on, America will be empowered by our aspirations, not burdened by our fears –- inspired by the future, not bound by the failures of the past –- and guided by our vision, not blinded by our doubts.

353.        I ASK YOU ALL TO EMBRACE THIS RENEWAL OF THE AMERICAN SPIRIT. I ASK ALL OF YOU TO BELIEVE IN AMERICA. “I am asking all citizens to embrace this Renewal of the American Spirit. I am asking all members of Congress to join me in dreaming big, and bold and daring things for our country. And I am asking everyone watching tonight to seize this moment and — Believe in yourselves. Believe in your future. And believe, once more, in America.

354.        THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU. GOD BLESS THE USA. “Thank you, God bless you, and God Bless these United States.

FYI to Senate. Text of Censure and Condemnation of Adam Schiff in the House of Representatives. Barrel & Pork.


BARREL, have you read the House of Representatives censure and condemnation of Adam Schiff for lying to Congress and the American People about POTUS TRUMP?

No, PORK, I have not.

Here is the Bill censuring and condemning Adam Schiff which was Introduced Session: 116th Congress

Bill TEXT. Introduced in House (09/27/2019)

116th CONGRESS 1st Session

H.   RES.   604

          Condemning and censuring Adam Schiff, Representative of California’s 28th Congressional District.


IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

September 27, 2019

          Mr. Biggs submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Ethics


RESOLUTION

         Condemning and censuring Adam Schiff, Representative of California’s 28th Congressional District.

Whereas, President Trump released the transcript of a call between him and the President of Ukraine;

Whereas, President Trump subsequently released the whistleblower complaint of August 12, 2019;

Whereas, in a September 26, 2019, hearing on the whistleblower complaint, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff purported to relay the content of the phone call to the American people;

Whereas, instead of quoting directly from the available transcript, Chairman Schiff manufactured a false retelling of the conversation between President Trump and President Zelensky;

Whereas, this egregiously false and fabricated retelling had no relationship to the call itself;

Whereas, these actions of Chairman Schiff misled the American people, bring disrepute upon the House of Representatives, and make a mockery of the impeachment process, one of this chamber’s most solemn constitutional duties;

Whereas, for more than two years, Chairman Schiff has spread false accusations that the Trump Campaign colluded with Russia;

Whereas, on March 20, 2017, then-Ranking Member Schiff read out false allegations from the Steele dossier accusing numerous Trump associates of colluding with Russia;

Whereas, then-Ranking Member Schiff falsely claimed in a March 2017 interview to have “more than circumstantial evidence” of collusion with Russia;

Whereas, then-Ranking Member Schiff negotiated with Russian comedians who he believed to be Ukrainian officials to obtain materials to damage the President of the United States politically;

Whereas, members of the Intelligence Committee have lost faith in his objectivity and capabilities as Chairman, with every Republican member on the Committee having signed a letter calling for his immediate resignation as Chairman; and

Whereas, Chairman Schiff has hindered the ability of the Intelligence Committee to fulfill its oversight responsibilities of the Intelligence Community, an indispensable pillar of our national security: Now therefore, be it

Resolved, That—

(1) the House of Representatives censures and condemns Representative Adam Schiff for conduct that misleads the American people in a way that is not befitting an elected Member of the House of Representatives;

(2) Representative Adam Schiff will forthwith present himself in the well of the House for the pronouncement of censure; and

(3) Representative Adam Schiff will be censured with the public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.

Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and Jerry Nadler do nothing democrats produce no legal cause of action against POTUS Trump. Barrel & Pork.

PORK, I have heard a great deal about the Telephone Conversation POTUS Trump had with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine on July 25, 2019, 9:03 – 9:33 a.m. EDT. What do you think? Does it incriminate POTUS TRUMP?

BARREL, I have just now taken the time to analyze the conversation. My conclusion? We have another Adam Schiff nothingburger! There is nothing with which to impeach POTUS Trump – nothing with which to charge him with a crime – the Adam Schiff hearings are indeed a hoax. Take a look at the following.

We worked a lot but I would like to confess to you that I had an opportunity to learn from you. We used quite a few of your skills and knowledge and were able to use it as an example for our elections and yes it is true that these were unique elections. We were in a unique situation that we were able to achieve a unique success. I’m able to tell you the following; the first time, you called me to congratulate me when I won my presidential election, and the second time you are now calling me when my party won the parliamentary election.

A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your very good prosecutor down and you had some very bad people involved. Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man. He was the mayor of New York City, a great mayor, and I would like him to call you. I will ask him to call you along with the Attorney General. Rudy very much knows what’s happening and he is a very capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great. The former ambassador from the United States, the woman, was bad news and the people she was dealing with in the Ukraine were bad news so I just want to let you know that. The other thing, There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great.

    12.   “Pesident Zelenskyy: I wanted to tell you about the prosecutor. First of all I understand and I’m knowledgeable about the situation. Since we have won the absolute majority in our Parliament, the next prosecutor general will be 100% my person, my candidate, who will be approved by the parliament and will start as a new prosecutor in September. He or she will look into the situation, specifically to the company that you mentioned in this issue. The issue of the investigation of the case is actually the issue of making sure to restore the honesty so we will take care of that and will work on the investigation of the case. On top of that, I would kindly ask you if you have any additional information that you can provide to us, it would be very helpful for the investigation to make sure that we administer justice in our country with regard to the Ambassador to the United States from Ukraine as far as I recall her name was Ivanovich. It was great that you were the first one who told me that she was a bad ambassador because I agree with you 100%. Her attitude towards me was far from the best as she admired the previous President and she was on his side. She would not accept me as a new President well enough.”

I will have Mr. Giuliani give you a call and I am also going to have Attorney General Barr call and we will get to the bottom of it. I’m sure you will figure it out. I heard the prosecutor was treated very badly and he was a very fair prosecutor so good luck with everything. Your economy is going to get better and better I predict. You have a lot of assets.

Actually last time I traveled to the United States, I stayed in New York near Central Park and I stayed at the Trump Tower. I will talk to them and I hope to see them again in the future. I also wanted to thank you for your invitation to visit the United States, specifically Washington DC. On the other hand, I also want to ensure you that we will be very serious about the case and will work on the investigation. As to the economy, there is much potential for our two countries and one of the issues that is very important for Ukraine is energy independence. I believe we can be very successful and cooperating on energy independence with United States. We are already working on cooperation. We are buying American oil but I am very hopeful for a future meeting. We will have more time and more opportunities to discuss these opportunities and get to know each other better.

On the other hand, I believe that on September 1 we will be in Poland and we can meet in Poland hopefully. After that, it might be a very good idea for you to travel to Ukraine.

l.      NO INDICATION POTUS TRUMP withheld military aid or anything from President Zelenskyy and Ukraine in return for an investigation of corruption – including an investigation into X company and Joe Biden.

m.        In fact, President Zelenskyy says he is just about ready to buy Javelins.

n.    Both men have a very low opinion of Ambassador Ivanovich.

o.      We have a mutual effort on the part of POTUS TRUMP and President Zelenskyy to work together and to reign in and eliminate corruption – and this with the help of prosecutor(s) in Ukraine and Mr. Giuliani and AG Barr — looking into corruption including looking into Crowdstrike and Bidens.

p.      This phone call exonerates POTUS TRUMP completely. Why? Because there is:

What we do have is Nancy Pelosi, Jerry Nadler, Adam Schiff and other do nothing democrats, together with certain disaffected republicans, who have wasted millions of our dollars and years of our precious time in their investigations, all the while doing nothing to help their own constituencies – doing nothing to help us the American voters – be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS since POTUS Trump was elected; while all the while POTUS Trump has eliminated hundreds of onerous regulations, created the best economy in U.S. history, helped eliminate much of the wealth transfer from middle class America to Europe and China, while at the same time keeping more than 300 promises to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS that POTUS Trump made to the American people. 

TRUMP ZELENSKYY CONVERSATION AND ANALYSIS NOTHINGBURGER. BARREL & PORK.


PORK, I have heard a great deal about the Telephone Conversation POTUS Trump had with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine on July 25, 2019, 9:03 – 9:33 a.m. EDT. What do you think? Does it incriminate POTUS TRUMP?

BARREL, I have just now taken the time to analyze the conversation. My conclusion? We have another Adam Schiff nothingburger. There is nothing with which to impeach POTUS Trump. Take a look at the following.

I’m able to tell you the following; the first time, you called me to congratulate me when I won my presidential election, and the second time you are now calling me when my party won the parliamentary election.

Rudy very much knows what’s happening and he is a very capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great. The former ambassador from the United States, the woman, was bad news and the people she was dealing with in the Ukraine were bad news so I just want to let you know that. The other thing, There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it … It sounds horrible to me.”

k.      POTUS Trump again asks President Zelenskyy to receive Rudy Giuliani and the Attorney General Bill Barr and to investigate the allegations regarding Biden corruption quid pro quo extortion.

12.   “Pesident Zelenskyy: I wanted to tell you about the prosecutor. First of all I understand and I’m knowledgeable about the situation. Since we have won the absolute majority in our Parliament, the next prosecutor general will be 100% my person, my candidate, who will be approved by the parliament and will start as a new prosecutor in September. He or she will look into the situation, specifically to the company that you mentioned in this issue. The issue of the investigation of the case is actually the issue of making sure to restore the honesty so we will take care of that and will work on the investigation of the case. On top of that, I would kindly ask you if you have any additional information that you can provide to us, it would be very helpful for the investigation to make sure that we administer justice in our country with regard to the Ambassador to the United States from Ukraine as far as I recall her name was Ivanovich. It was great that you were the first one who told me that she was a bad ambassador because I agree with you 100%. Her attitude towards me was far from the best as she admired the previous President and she was on his side. She would not accept me as a new President well enough.”

k.      President Zelenskyy has his own opinion of Ambassador Ivanovich while agreeing with POTUS Trump about the ambassador  – “It was great that you were the first one who told me that she was a bad ambassador because I agree with you 100%. Her attitude towards me was far from the best as she admired the previous President  and she was on his side. She would not accept me as a new President well enough.”

13.   “The President: Well, she’s going to go through some things. I will have Mr. Giuliani give you a call and I am also going to have Attorney General Barr call and we will get to the bottom of it. I’m sure you will figure it out. I heard the prosecutor was treated very badly and he was a very fair prosecutor so good luck with everything. Your economy is going to get better and better I predict. You have a lot of assets. It’s a great country. I have many Ukrainian friends, their incredible people.”

k.      The President reinforces that Mr. Giuliani and Attorney General Barr will be in touch. And says “we will get to the bottom of it.”

14.   “President Zelenskyy: I would like to tell you that I also have quite a few Ukrainian friends that live in the United States. Actually last time I traveled to the United States, I stayed in New York near Central Park and I stayed at the Trump Tower. I will talk to them and I hope to see them again in the future. I also wanted to thank you for your invitation to visit the United States, specifically Washington DC. On the other hand, I also want to ensure you that we will be very serious about the case and will work on the investigation. As to the economy, there is much potential for our two countries and one of the issues that is very important for Ukraine is energy independence. I believe we can be very successful and cooperating on energy independence with United States. We are already working on cooperation. We are buying American oil but I am very hopeful for a future meeting. We will have more time and more opportunities to discuss these opportunities and get to know each other better. I would like to thank you very much for your support.

15.   “The President: Good. Well, thank you very much and I appreciate that. I will tell Rudy and Attorney General Barr to call. Thank you. Whenever you would like to come to the White House, feel free to call. Give us a date and we’ll work that out. I look forward to seeing you.”

I am looking forward to our meeting and I also would like to invite you to visit Ukraine and come to the city of Kyiv which is a beautiful city. We have a beautiful country which would welcome you. On the other hand, I believe that on September 1 we will be in Poland and we can meet in Poland hopefully. After that, it might be a very good idea for you to travel to Ukraine. We either take my plane and go to Ukraine or we can take your plane, which is probably much better than mine.

j.       NO ABUSE OF POWER.

k.      NO INDICATION POTUS TRUMP withheld military aid or anything from President Zelenskyy and Ukraine in return for an investigation of corruption – including an investigation into X company and Joe Biden.

l.        In fact, President Zelenskyy says he is just about ready to buy Javelins.

m.    Both men have a low opinion of Ambassador Ivanovich.

n.      We have a mutual effort on the part of POTUS TRUMP and President Zelenskyy to work together and to reign in and eliminate corruption – and this with the help of prosecutor(s) in Ukraine and Mr. Giuliani and AG Barr – – e.g. looking into corruption including looking into Crowdstrike and Bidens with help of Giuliani and AG Barr.

o.      This phone call exonerates POTUS TRUMP completely.

WHAT CAN NANCY PELOSI DO TO BE A GREAT STATESWOMAN?

PORK, HOW DO YOU THINK NANCY PELOSI CAN BE A GREAT STATESWOMAN which is much better than being a third, second, or first rate politician.

BARREL, she simply needs to stand up and:

1.       Make a short but carefully crafted speech to all congresswomen and congressmen and the nation and demand civility.

2.       Censure Adam Schiff for conducting hearings in secret and for lying about what the President said and remove him as head of the Judiciary Committee.

3.       Being unwilling to put the nation through further trauma, formally accept the Mueller report that there was no collusion or obstruction, and at the same time terminate all hint of impeachment.

4.       Set forth a three point power plan to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.

5.       Support Elizabeth Warren for President against POTUS Trump or

6.       Step in at the last moment and run for President.

Looks like Joe Biden is political toast because Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the democrats are still playing in the third rate minor leagues and have been hit with the boomerang and have stepped in it again and have egg on their faces to use multiple metaphors. BARREL & PORK.


Looks like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the democrats are still playing in the minor leagues and have boomerang stepped in it again and have egg on their faces, PORK. Only this time, POTUS TRUMP played for keeps. There is “no collusion” and “no obstruction” and “no corruption” and he is vindicated once again and Joe Biden is political toast and Warren will be the nominee. It’s a done deal.

How so, BARREL? Sounds like Nancy Pelosi is working for POTUS Trump.

She is, PORK. Instead of having her ducks in a row they are all drowning.

Senate Democrats sent a letter to Ukraine in May of 2018 leaning on Ukraine to investigate POTUS TRUMP. Read this at https://townhall.com/tipsheet/timothymeads/2019/09/25/dems-sent-letter-to-ukraine-asking-for-investigation-to-trump-n2553705

Hypocrites: Senate Dems Sent Letter Pressuring Ukraine To Investigate Trump In May 2018
  1. “If you have not learned by now, … every Conservative “scandal” in recent memory has been nothing more than leftists projecting their own personal problems onto their political opponents.
  2. “Sexism and abuse against women? Meet Bill Clinton and Harvey Weinstein.
  3. “Racism? Meet the blackface donning Gov. Ralph Northam and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
  4. [Collusion with the Russians? Meet Hillary Clinton and her cronies and collaborators.]
  5. [Obstruction of Justice? Meet Hillary and Comey and their cronies and collaborators.]
  6. “Trump pressuring Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election? Meet the Democrats in May 2018.
  7. “Yes, the very same Democrats who are now supposedly aghast that President Trump asked the president of Ukraine to look into Joe Biden’s family corruption [wherein Joe and Hunter banked $1.5 billion], 
  8. “[yes, the very same Democrats] actually sent Ukraine a letter saying “U.S. assistance” was at stake unless the Ukrainian government complied with the bogus special counsel Robert Mueller investigation and conducted their own investigation into the president and his former aid Paul Manafort.
  9. “Marc Theissen of the Washington Post brought this up yesterday, and after seeing what the president actually said to his call to the newly elected president Volodymyr Zelensky, it looks like the Democrats have nothing but egg on their face [AGAIN]. 

8. “Here’s what Theissen reported Tuesday: 

9. “It got almost no attention, but in May, CNN reported that Sens. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) and Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) wrote a letter to Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Yuriy Lutsenko, expressing concern at the closing of four investigations they said were critical to the Mueller probe.

10. “In the letter, they implied that their support for U.S. assistance to Ukraine was at stake.

11. “Describing themselves as “strong advocates for a robust and close relationship with Ukraine,” the Democratic senators declared, “We have supported [the] capacity-building process and are disappointed that some in Kyiv appear to have cast aside these [democratic] principles to avoid the ire of President Trump,” before demanding Lutsenko “reverse course and halt any efforts to impede cooperation with this important investigation.”

12. “So, it’s okay for Democratic senators to encourage Ukraine to investigate Trump, but it’s [hypocritically] not okay for the president to allegedly encourage Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden?

13. ” … The letter clearly shows they were threatening to withhold assistance unless the Ukrainian government did as they demanded. Between this uncovered letter and former Vice President Joe Biden bragging about intimidating the Ukrainian prosecutor, this whole thing is boomeranging on the Dems. Here comes Trump 2020, folks, steamrolling into the White House (again). 

14. As well, “Recommended BREAKING: President Trump’s Ukraine Call Transcript Has Been Released and Blows Up the Latest Impeachment Narrative Katie Pavlich

15. “Steve Guest✔@SteveGuest [Steve gets credit for a great note.]

16. “FLASHBACK to 2018 byYouTubing Joe Biden bragged about bribing Ukraine with $1 BILLION to fire the prosecutor who was investigating his son, Hunter Biden’s company.

If that’s not corruption, I don’t know what is, PORK.

Spot on, BARREL. Spot on.

Who can beat POTUS TRUMP in 2020? BARREL & PORK.

BARREL, are you interested in voting for Joe Biden? No, PORK. I have 103 reasons not to. Then BARREL, who has a chance of beating POTUS Trump in 2020?

PORK, I follow the news regularly – Fox, Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Drudge, Breitbart,  New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc., and I have no interest whatsoever in voting for Joe. I find the following negatives about Joe in the news in one form or another:

1.       Joe is a gaffe disaster waiting to happen.

2.       He’s a career federal government  politician.

3.       Amy Lappos, the congressional aide accused him of inappropriately touching her.

4.       He’s ancient.

5.       Anita Hill sexual harassment inquisition on his watch was a debacle.

6.       He apologizes for mishandling things thereby admitting he mishandled things.

7.       His apologies are too little too late.

8.       Biden’s brother and the $1.5 billion government contract conflict of interest looms large.

9.       Biden’s son, Hunter, joining the board of the Ukrainian gas producer conflict of interest looms way large.

10.   Biden’s son Hunter’s conflicts of interest especially intersect Joe’s political position according to Peter Sweizer.

11.   He is big on paid speaking gigs.

12.   He bragged about his role in policies that have devastated black communities.

13.   Caitlyn Caruso is on record that he inappropriately touched her.

14.   He can’t keep his hands off young girls.

15.   His China conflicts are fatal.

16.   He claimed he was a civil rights activist when he wasn’t.

17.   Now he’s tied to a climate plan plagiarism “scandal.”

18.   He had to know and thus was complicit in FISA surveillance of POTUS Trump.

19.   He was complicit in all of Obama’s failed policies.

20.   He apparently unsuccessfully considered running for president five times.

21.   He carries the name Creepy Uncle Joe.

22.   Creepy is a hard one live down.

23.   D.J. Hill is another woman who is on record accusing him.

24.   He packs decades of negative political baggage.

25.   He can’t point to anything of real value he did while he was Vice President.

26.   He failed in his run for President in 1984.

27.   He failed in his run for President in 1988.

28.   He failed in his run for President in 2008.

29.   The party just did not rise to the occasion and support him which tells me they won’t do so this time either.

30.   He now pushes the false narrative that he is “the most progressive candidate” which he is not.

31.   Per Peter Sweizer, he is really just focused on money making ventures.

32.   He can’t help drain the swamp and get rid of corruption in Washington because he is the inside player who is up to his elbows in the swamp of corruption in Washington.

33.   He can’t fix the mess in Washington because he is the mess in Washington.

34.   He can’t run on Obama’s legacy because Obama thinly endorses him and Obama has a highly questionable legacy.

35.   He failed in Iraq.

36.   He failed in Libya Ben Ghazi.

37.   One news account says he helped give us ISIS.

38.   He did indeed given the fact that he helped Obama give the Iranians billions which they use to fund their military and fight us by sponsoring terrorism.

39.   He is a repeat of the H. Clinton debacle.

40.   He is an Iraq hawk guilty of spending trillions of our money down the middle east military industrial complex rat hole.

41.   He is in the banking industry pockets.

42.   He is old.

43.   He is the Bill Clinton look alike although without the cigar.

44.   He is the Democratic party run by and for white men.

45.   He is the Hillary Clinton failed candidate.

46.   He is the worst candidate for democrats.

47.   He is too little too late when it comes to reinventing himself.

48.   He keeps showing pictures of himself when he was young as though he wants us to think of him as young.

49.   He is uniquely ill-suited as a leader.

50.   Because he symbolizes the old Democratic party.

51.   One news source says he’s another buckraker like the Clintons.

52.   His contrived “will-he-won’t-he” announcement was a joke.

53.   Again, his last presidential campaign crashed and burned.

54.   His presidential campaign before that crashed and burned.

55.   His promises are not worth much. Just look at:

56.   His record on abortion

57.   His record on busing

58.   His record on civil liberties

59.   His record on immigration

60.   His record on mass incarceration

61.   His record on war

62.   He is the horrible inappropriate touching Presidential candidate.

63.   He is the insider veteran who is part of the problem not part of the solution.

64.   He kissed senator’s teenage daughter on side of head.

65.   He leaned on the Ukrainians to fire their top prosecutor just as their top prosecutor was set to investigate the gas company which included his son Hunter.

66.   Lucy Flores is on record accusing him.

67.   Through the years he has moaned about government spending yet has done nothing to curb it.

68.   He can’t point to his past and say “I am a statesman.”

69.   In fact, he has a muddy past.

70.   He has a murky past.

71.   He carries no future media $ value to Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, Drudge, Breitbart, Infowars while POTUS Trump is worth billions and billions to them.

72.   He is not a fresh face.

73.   He is not a reformer.

74.   He simply is not inspiring.

75.   He was not especially popular during Obama’s time in office.

76.   He is one of the oldest candidates.

77.   He is one of the worst candidates.

78.   He is part of the deep establishment state.

79.   He is a professional politician.

80.   He has a questionable endorsement from Obama.

81.   He is ridiculed for his many gaffes.

82.   He is ridiculed for his political machismo.

83.   He is a senior citizen.

84.   He is a stereotypical old school Democrat.

85.   There is nothing extraordinary about his career.

86.   His Ukrainian conflicts are fatal.

87.   His Chinese conflicts are fatal.

88.   He is Uncle Joe.

89.   He is uniquely ill-suited as a leader.

90.   He used his office to enrich himself and his family.

91.   He voted for NAFTA.

92.   He voted for Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act which put an inordinate number of people of color in jails for drug-related offenses.

93.   He voted to support the ill-conceived invasion of Iraq in 2002 that cost America untold treasure.

94.   His voting record is discriminatory

95.   He is best known for whispering in the ear of a senator’s teenage daughter.

96.   It looks like he may be in bed with the DNC which is again seeking to marginalize Bernie.

97.   He has no capacity to go toe to toe with the young candidates.

98.   He has no capacity to keep us stay free.

99.   He has no capacity to help keep us safe.

100.           He has no capacity to help us be prosperous.

101.           He is running on the tired, worn out, negative, wasteful Schumer and Pelosi platform of bashing POTUS Trump.

102.           His thought about mediating between republicans and democrats and “calming the nation” is eyewash.

103.           PORK, these above thoughts are the messages I am finding in the media.

104.           He has no chance of beating POTUS Trump because POTUS Trump has kept more than 300 of his campaign promises.

105.           My conclusion, PORK, is this.

106.            Joe has no chance of beating POTUS Trump because Joe can’t point to one positive promise he has kept over his long career that helps us be free, safe, and prosperous today.

107.           He has no chance of beating POTUS Trump because the media is making billions of dollars if not trillions collectively off the POTUS Trump gravy train.

108.           And a number of the same thoughts apply to Bernie.

109.           BARREL, who then among democrats can beat POTUS Trump in 2020, BARREL?

110.           Well, I’m not certain anyone can. But let’s at least look at the others in the democrat field.

111.            PORK. I will narrow the field to my four picks.

112.           I think the democrats need to take a hard look at Julian Castro, Kamala Harris, Jay Inslee, and Amy Klobuchar not in that order.

113.           And of the four, BARREL?

114.           I think the democrats will be well advised to field Jay Inslee for President with Amy Klobuchar or Julian Castro as Vice President.

115.           The current list:

116.           Michael Bennet.

117.           Bill de Blasio

118.           Cory Booker

119.           Steve Bullock

120.           Pet Buttigieg

121.           Julian Castro

122.           John Delaney

123.           Tulsi Gabbard

124.           Kirsten Gillibrand

125.           Mike Gravel

126.           Kamala Harris

127.           John Hickenlooper

128.           Jay Inslee

129.           Amy Klobuchar

130.           Wayne Messam

131.           Seth Moulton

132.           Beto O’Rourke

133.           Tim Ryan

134.           Bernie Sanders

135.           Eric Swalwell

136.           Elizabeth Warren

137.           Bill Weld

138.           Marianne Williamson

139.           Andrew Yang

Why democrats and disaffected republicans should never underestimate POTUS TRUMP and his family?

326.        TRUE LOVE FOR OUR AMERICAN PEOPLE MANDATES THAT WE FIND COMMON GROUND. “True love for our people requires us to find common ground,

327.        TRUE LOVE FOR OUR AMERICAN PEOPLE MANDATES THAT WE ADVANCE THE COMMON GOOD. “to advance the common good,

328.        TRUE LOVE FOR OUR AMERICAN PEOPLE MANDATES THAT WE COOPERATE ON BEHALF OF EVERY AMERICAN CHILD BECAUSE EACH DESERVES A BRIGHTER FUTURE. “and to cooperate on behalf of every American child who deserves a brighter future.

329.        INCREDIBLE MEGAN CROWLEY IS WITH US TODAY. An incredible young woman is with us this evening who should serve as an inspiration to us all. Today is Rare Disease day, and joining us in the gallery is a Rare Disease Survivor, Megan Crowley.  Megan was diagnosed with Pompe Disease, a rare and serious illness, when she was 15 months old.  She was not expected to live past 5. On receiving this news, Megan’s dad, John, fought with everything he had to save the life of his precious child.  He founded a company to look for a cure, and helped develop the drug that saved Megan’s life.  Today she is 20 years old – and a sophomore at Notre Dame. Megan’s story is about the unbounded power of a father’s love for a daughter. 

330.        FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION APPROVAL PROCESSES MUST BE ACCELERATED NOW. “But our slow and burdensome approval process at the Food and Drug Administration keeps too many advances, like the one that saved Megan’s life, from reaching those in need. If we slash the restraints, not just at the FDA but across our Government, then we will be blessed with far more miracles like Megan.

331.        WE MUST ENRICH THE MIND AND SOUL OF EACH AMERICAN CHILD. I ASK MEMBERS OF BOTH PARTIES TO PASS AN EDUCATION BILL THAT FUNDS SCHOOL CHOICE TO PUBLIC, PRIVATE, CHARTER, MAGNET, RELIGIOUS, OR HOME SCHOOL FOR ALL YOUTH, FOR DISADVANTAGED YOUTH, INCLUDING MILLIONS OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND LATINO CHILDREN. “In fact, our children will grow up in a Nation of miracles. But to achieve this future, we must enrich the mind –- and the souls –- of every American child. Education is the civil rights issue of our time. I am calling upon Members of both parties to pass an education bill that funds school choice for disadvantaged youth, including millions of African-American and Latino children.  These families should be free to choose the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school that is right for them.

332.        DENISHA MERRIWEATHER IS WITH US TONIGHT. WE MUST BREAK THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE IN ORDER TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY. “Joining us tonight in the gallery is a remarkable woman, Denisha Merriweather.  As a young girl, Denisha struggled in school and failed third grade twice. But then she was able to enroll in a private center for learning, with the help of a tax credit scholarship program. Today, she is the first in her family to graduate, not just from high school, but from college.  Later this year she will get her masters degree in social work. We want all children to be able to break the cycle of poverty just like Denisha. But to break the cycle of poverty, we must also break the cycle of violence.

333.        THE MURDER RATE IS HORRIFIC. MORE THAN 4,000 PEOPLE WERE SHOT IN CHICAGO LAST YEAR. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. “The murder rate in 2015 experienced its largest single-year increase in nearly half a century. In Chicago, more than 4,000 people were shot last year alone –- and the murder rate so far this year has been even higher. This is not acceptable in our society.

334.        EVERY AMERICAN CHILD MUST BE ABLE TO GROW UP IN A SAFE COMMUNITY, ATTEND A GREAT SCHOOL, AND HAVE ACCESS TO A HIGH-PAYING JOB. “Every American child should be able to grow up in a safe community, to attend a great school, and to have access to a high-paying job.

335.        WE MUST WORK WITH THE MEN AND WOMEN OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. “But to create this future, we must work with –- not against -– the men and women of law enforcement.

336.        WE MUST BUILD BRIDGES OF COOPERATION AND TRUST WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. “We must build bridges of cooperation and trust –-

337.        WE MUST NOT DRIVE THE WEDGE OF DISUNITY AND DIVISION. “not drive the wedge of disunity and division.

338.        WE MUST HONOR AND SUPPORT OUR POLICE AND SHERIFFS. “Police and sheriffs are members of our community. They are friends and neighbors, they are mothers and fathers, sons and daughters – and they leave behind loved ones every day who worry whether or not they’ll come home safe and sound. We must support the incredible men and women of law enforcement.

339.        WE MUST SUPPORT VICTIMS OF CRIME. “And we must support the victims of crime.

340.        I HAVE ORDERED THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY TO CREATE AN OFFICE TO SERVE AMERICAN VICTIMS. I WILL NOT FORGET THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN KILLED BY AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD. ‘I have ordered the Department of Homeland Security to create an office to serve American Victims. The office is called VOICE –- Victims Of Immigration Crime Engagement. We are providing a voice to those who have been ignored by our media, and silenced by special interests. Joining us in the audience tonight are four very brave Americans whose government failed them. Their names are Jamiel Shaw, Susan Oliver, Jenna Oliver, and Jessica Davis. Jamiel’s 17-year-old son was viciously murdered by an illegal immigrant gang member, who had just been released from prison. Jamiel Shaw Jr. was an incredible young man, with unlimited potential who was getting ready to go to college where he would have excelled as a great quarterback.  But he never got the chance. His father, who is in the audience tonight, has become a good friend of mine. Also with us are Susan Oliver and Jessica Davis. Their husbands –- Deputy Sheriff Danny Oliver and Detective Michael Davis –- were slain in the line of duty in California. They were pillars of their community. These brave men were viciously gunned down by an illegal immigrant with a criminal record and two prior deportations. Sitting with Susan is her daughter, Jenna. Jenna:  I want you to know that your father was a hero, and that tonight you have the love of an entire country supporting you and praying for you. To Jamiel, Jenna, Susan and Jessica:  I want you to know –- we will never stop fighting for justice. Your loved ones will never be forgotten, we will always honor their memory.

341.        I AM ASKING CONGRESS TO APPROVE MY BUDGET TO PROVIDE THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WITH THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO PREVENT, FIGHT, AND WIN WAR – TO REBUILD OUR MILITARY, TO ELIMINATE THE DEFENSE SEQUESTER, TO INCREASE THE NATIONAL DEFENSE SPENDING NEEDED, AND TO FUND HELP FOR OUR VETERANS. I WILL REMEMBER, WITH ALL WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES, U.S. NAVY SPECIAL OPERATOR, SENIOR CHIEF WILLIAM “RYAN” OWENS.“Finally, to keep America Safe we must provide the men and women of the United States military with the tools they need to prevent war and –- if they must –- to fight and to win. I am sending the Congress a budget that rebuilds the military, eliminates the Defense sequester, and calls for one of the largest increases in national defense spending in American history. My budget will also increase funding for our veterans. Our veterans have delivered for this Nation –- and now we must deliver for them. The challenges we face as a Nation are great. But our people are even greater. And none are greater or braver than those who fight for America in uniform. We are blessed to be joined tonight by Carryn Owens, the widow of a U.S. Navy Special Operator, Senior Chief William “Ryan” Owens. Ryan died as he lived:  a warrior, and a hero –- battling against terrorism and securing our Nation. I just spoke to General Mattis, who reconfirmed that, and I quote, “Ryan was a part of a highly successful raid that generated large amounts of vital intelligence that will lead to many more victories in the future against our enemies.” Ryan’s legacy is etched into eternity. For as the Bible teaches us, there is no greater act of love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. Ryan laid down his life for his friends, for his country, and for our freedom –- we will never forget him.

342.        OUR FOREIGN POLICY CALLS FOR DIRECT, ROBUST, MEANINGFUL LEADERSHIP AND ENGAGEMENT WITH THE WORLD. “To those allies who wonder what kind of friend America will be, look no further than the heroes who wear our uniform. Our foreign policy calls for a direct, robust and meaningful engagement with the world. It is American leadership based on vital security interests that we share with our allies across the globe.

343.        WE SUPPORT NATO. “We strongly support NATO, an alliance forged through the bonds of two World Wars that dethroned fascism, and a Cold War that defeated communism.

344.        OUR PARTNERS IN NATO AND OTHER THEATERS MUST MEET THEIR FINANCIAL AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS. THEY MUST PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF THE COST. “But our partners must meet their financial obligations. And now, based on our very strong and frank discussions, they are beginning to do just that. We expect our partners, whether in NATO, in the Middle East, or the Pacific –-  to take a direct and meaningful role in both strategic and military operations, and pay their fair share of the cost.

345.        WE RESPECT HISTORIC INSTITUTIONS, BUT WE RESPECT SOVEREIGN RIGHTS OF NATIONS. FREE NATIONS MUST CHART THEIR OWN COURSE. “We will respect historic institutions, but we will also respect the sovereign rights of nations. Free nations are the best vehicle for expressing the will of the people –- and America respects the right of all nations to chart their own path.  

346.        I DO NOT REPRESENT THE WORLD. I REPRESENT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THAT IS MY JOB. “My job is not to represent the world. My job is to represent the United States of America.

347.        AMERICA IS BETTER OFF WHEN THERE IS LESS CONFLICT. “But we know that America is better off, when there is less conflict — not more.

348.        WE MUST LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST. “We must learn from the mistakes of the past –- we have seen the war and destruction that have raged across our world.

349.        IN THESE HUMANITARIAN DISASTERS, DISPLACED PERSONS MUST BE AFFORDED THE RIGHT AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO RETURN HOME. “The only long-term solution for these humanitarian disasters is to create the conditions where displaced persons can safely return home and begin the long process of rebuilding.

350.        AMERICA IS WILLING TO FIND NEW FRIENDS, FORGE NEW PARTNERSHIPS, WHERE SHARED INTERESTS ALIGN. AMERICA WANTS PEACE. WE WANT JUSTICE. WE WANT FREEDOM. “America is willing to find new friends, and to forge new partnerships, where shared interests align.  We want harmony and stability, not war and conflict. We want peace, wherever peace can be found. America is friends today with former enemies. Some of our closest allies, decades ago, fought on the opposite side of these World Wars. This history should give us all faith in the possibilities for a better world. Hopefully, the 250th year for America will see a world that is more peaceful, more just and more free.

351.        WE MUST SET FREE THE DREAMS OF OUR PEOPLE TO BUILD, PAINT, INVENT, CURE ILLNESSES, AND SET FOOT ON DISTANT WORLDS. “On our 100th anniversary, in 1876, citizens from across our Nation came to Philadelphia to celebrate America’s centennial. At that celebration, the country’s builders and artists and inventors showed off their creations. Alexander Graham Bell displayed his telephone for the first time. Remington unveiled the first typewriter. An early attempt was made at electric light. Thomas Edison showed an automatic telegraph and an electric pen. Imagine the wonders our country could know in America’s 250th year. Think of the marvels we can achieve if we simply set free the dreams of our people. Cures to illnesses that have always plagued us are not too much to hope. American footprints on distant worlds are not too big a dream. Millions lifted from welfare to work is not too much to expect. And streets where mothers are safe from fear – schools where children learn in peace – and jobs where Americans prosper and grow – are not too much to ask. When we have all of this, we will have made America greater than ever before.

352.        THIS IS OUR VISION AND OUR MISSION FOR ALL AMERICANS. WE ARE ONE PEOPLE. WE BLEED THE SAME BLOOD. WE SALUTE THE SAME FLAG. WE ARE MADE BY THE SAME GOD. WE CELEBRATE 250 YEARS OF GLORIOUS FREEDOM. THIS IS A NEW CHAPTER IN AMERICAN GREATNESS. THE TIME FOR SMALL THINKING IS PAST. WE NEED COURAGE. WE NEED CONFIDENCE. WE MUST BE INSPIRED BY THE FUTURE, NOT BOUND BY THE FAILURES OF THE PAST, GUIDED BY OUR VISION, NOT BLINDED BY OUR DOUBTS. “For all Americans. This is our vision. This is our mission. But we can only get there together. We are one people, with one destiny. We all bleed the same blood. We all salute the same flag. And we are all made by the same God. And when we fulfill this vision; when we celebrate our 250 years of glorious freedom, we will look back on tonight as when this new chapter of American Greatness began. The time for small thinking is over. The time for trivial fights is behind us. We just need the courage to share the dreams that fill our hearts. The bravery to express the hopes that stir our souls. And the confidence to turn those hopes and dreams to action. From now on, America will be empowered by our aspirations, not burdened by our fears –- inspired by the future, not bound by the failures of the past –- and guided by our vision, not blinded by our doubts.

353.        I ASK YOU ALL TO EMBRACE THIS RENEWAL OF THE AMERICAN SPIRIT. I ASK ALL OF YOU TO BELIEVE IN AMERICA. “I am asking all citizens to embrace this Renewal of the American Spirit. I am asking all members of Congress to join me in dreaming big, and bold and daring things for our country. And I am asking everyone watching tonight to seize this moment and — Believe in yourselves. Believe in your future. And believe, once more, in America.

354.        THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU. GOD BLESS THE USA. “Thank you, God bless you, and God Bless these United States.

Critical democrats and disaffected republicans and much of the media, are focused on criticizing, finding fault, and the negatives of life.


POTUS Trump and his administration are focused on the positives of life – helping us — helping to

Contempt of Congress for AG BARR? No. Contempt for Democrats? Yes. BARREL & PORK

1. BARREL, I read this today.

2. ‘Bill Barr is following the law and what’s his reward? Democrats hold him in contempt,’ Jordan said. 

3. ‘I don’t think today’s actually about getting information. 

4. I don’t think it’s about getting the un-redacted Mueller report.’ 

5. ‘I think it’s all about trying to destroy Bill Barr because Democrats are nervous he’s going to get to the bottom of everything. 

6. He’s going to find out how and why this investigation started in the first place,’ he added. 

7. See Contempt?

8. PORK, this statement is false on its face. The facts are these. Bill Barr is not “going to get to the bottom of everything.”

9. Bill Barr already has gotten “to the bottom of everything.”

10. He already knows why this investigation of POTUS TRUMP started in the first place.

11. He already has the evidence and knows Hillary Clinton’s and Barak Obama’s role.

12. He already has the evidence and knows Bill Clinton’s role.

13. He already has the evidence and knows James Comey’s role.

14. He already has the evidence and knows John Podesta’s role.

15. He already has the evidence and knows the role of Brennan, McCabe, Strok, Page, and others including those in the media who knowingly foisted off the false TRUMP RUSSIA COLLUSION NARRATIVE on us the American people..

16. He already has the evidence and knows the role of Biden in the fake FISA warrants and the role of Biden in helping his son take a billion dollars from the Chinese.

17. He already has the evidence and knows the DNC’s role and the role of the DNC’s public relations and advertising and legal firms.

18. He already has the evidence and knows the role of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

19. He already has the evidence and knows the role of the other bad actors who also knew the TRUMP RUSSIA COLLUSION NARRATIVE was false.

20. AG BARR already knows what is “at the bottom of everything.”

21. Odds are the indictments are written and ready to be issued.

22. The democrats have done NOTHING to help us be FREE, SAFE, or PROSPEROUS since POTUS TRUMP was elected.

23. All they have done is criticize and block POTUS TRUMP with this FALSE TRUMP RUSSIA NARRATIVEa knowing it was a lie concocted to take out a sitting president.

24. While the democrats have done NOTHING, all the while POTUS TRUMP has accomplished more than 300 of his promises to us the American people — promises to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.

What have democrats done since POTUS Trump took office? Answer: Criticize POTUS Trump. Better answer: Nothing.

SINCE POTUS TRUMP TOOK OFFICE, BARREL, WHAT HAVE THE DEMOCRATS DONE FOR BLACK, HISPANIC, LATINO, JEWISH, CAUCASIAN, ASIAN AMERICANS?

PORK, All the democrats have done during the same time frame is criticize and investigate POTUS Trump. 


That’s all.

BARREL, Since he took office, what has POTUS Trump done? For Black, Hispanic, and Latino Americans? Jewish Americans? Native Americans? Asian Americans? Caucasian Americans?

PORK, he has already kept most all of his several hundred campaign promises. 

1.       Freedom of Religion. He is helping us worship how, where, or what we pleases so long as we do not infringe on rights of others.

2.       Freedom of Speech and Education. He is helping us speak without censure of political correctness. Helping us receive all education possible.

3.       Freedom to bear arms. He is helping us to protect self, family, and community.

4.       Safety. He is improving our military. He is reducing threat and actual terrorism and wars.

5.       Safety. He is improving wall and other security at the borders together with a call for more immigrants to come through the front door.

6.       Safety. He is improving security by bolstering police forces cross country.

7.       Safety. He is protecting against democrat abortion. 50,000,000+ Black unborn babies and 50,000,000+  surgically and 200,000,000+ Native American, Jewish American, Asian American, Caucasian American unborn babies have been chemically killed since democrat Roe v Wade in 1973. NO BLACK OR HISPANIC OR LATINO OR NATIVE AMERICAN OR JEWISH AMERICAN OR ASIAN AMERICAN OR CAUCASIAN AMERICAN, NO ONE, WILL VOTE DEMOCRAT UNTIL THEY JETTISON THEIR HATE CRIME GENOCIDE CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY CRIMINAL POLICY OF KILLING OUR UNBORN CHILDREN.

8.       Prosperity. He is generating millions of jobs and a robust economy with fewer regulations and manufacturing in the U.S.

9.       Prosperity. He is lowering taxes

10.   Prosperity. He is increasing wages and income significantly.

What have democrats done to help us be free? Answer. Nothing.

ABORTION LETTER TO PELOSI, ABERLY, AND WEN. BARREL & PORK.

BARREL, take a few minutes and read Richard Linford’s letter to U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Planned Parenthood’s Chairman Naomi Aberly and President Dr. Leana Wen. It is titled:

ABORTIONS – AMERICA’S UNBORN BABY KILLING FIELDS AND MILLSTONES.

It reads:

The 300,000,000+ unborn babies killed since Roe v Wade tipping point has been reached.

IT IS TIME TO ELIMINATE ALL ABORTIONS EXCEPT IN EXTREMELY RARE INSTANCES.

300,000,000+ unborn American babies have been killed surgically and chemically since Liberal Democrats sponsored Roe v Wade – 50,000,000+ were Black babies. 50,000,000+ were Hispanic babies. 200,000,000+ were Jewish, Native American, Asian American, and Caucasian babies. THE TIPPING POINT LONG AGO WAS REACHED. IT IS TIME TO ELIMINATE ALL ABORTIONS EXCEPT IN EXTREMELY RARE INSTANCES. Here is how we must do so.

from Richard W. Linford

I am an attorney at law.

I served as state chairman and national board member of The National Conference of Christians and Jews [and Muslims]. (NCCJ).

IT IS TIME TO ELIMINATE ALL ABORTIONS EXCEPT IN EXTREMELY RARE INSTANCES. Here is how we must do so.

Dear Nancy, Naomi, and Leana,

1.      300,000,000+ unborn American babies have been killed (50,000,000+) surgically and (250,000,000+) chemically  during the 46 years since 1973 Roe v Wade.

2.      6,521,739+ unborn American babies have been killed surgically and chemically on average per year during the 46 years since 1973 Roe v Wade – the equivalent in numbers of a Jewish holocaust per year.

3.      50,000,000+ of the 300,000,000 killed were Black babies.

4.      50,000,000+ of the 300,000,000 killed were Hispanic/Latino babies.

5.      200,000,000+ of the 300,000,000+ killed were Asian, Caucasian, Jewish, and Native American babies.

6.      The 50,000,000+ surgical abortion number was taken from Planned Parenthood’s Guttmacher Institute abortion website.

7.      250,000,000+ is the approximate number of babies aborted chemically. Add 50,000,000+ to 250,000,000+ and we have the number 300,000,000+. “* The Guttmacher footnote reads: The [number of] abortions [shown] in the “up-dated daily” counters on this site are almost all “surgical abortions”.  We [meaning the Guttmacher Institute and or Planned Parenthood] have made no attempt to tally the totals for “chemically-induced abortions” here [in the counters].  The Pharmacists for Life organization estimates that there have been approximately 250 million babies aborted chemically since 1973 in the USA. http://www.pfli.org/” See http://www.numberofabortions.com/* The abortion numbers for Blacks and Hispanics/Latinos were extrapolated.

8.      1,522,802,735+ IS THE NUMBER OF SURGICAL ABORTIONS WORLDWIDE SINCE 1980 according to Guttmacher Institute detail. http://www.numberofabortions.com/

9.      THESE NUMBERS ARE CONSERVATIVE.The World Wide abortion counter text says that it gives one of the more conservative estimates of the number of abortions world-wide since 1980.

10.  THE GUTTMACHER INSTITUTE IS A DIVISION OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD. See http://www.numberofabortions.com.

11.  THE GUTTMACHER INSTITUTE FOOTNOTE LISTS THE SURGICAL KILLINGS COMMITTED BY PLANNED PARENTHOOD.

12.  4,068,749 killings in the US from 1977 thru 2005.

13.  264,943 killings in the U.S.A. in 2005.

14.  289,750 killings in 2006.

15.  305,310 killings in 2007.

16.  324,008 killings in 2008.

17.  331,796 killings in 2009.

18.  329,445 killings in 2010.

19.  333,924 killings in 2011.

20.  327,166 killings in 2012.

21.  327,166 killings in 2013.

22.  323,999 killings in 2014.

23.  Chemical abortions performed or facilitated by Planned Parenthood are not included in these numbers.

24.  Bottom line, these are Planned Parenthood’s “conservative” numbers. 

25.  THE WORD ABORTION.

26.  Use of the word abortion is a misnomer if not a prevarication or an obfuscation.

27.  Calling it what it really is, it is killing the unborn babies of America. [And the world.]

28.  THE WORD INFANTICIDE.

29.  It is the crime of killing a very young child, usually within a year of birth.

30.  Infanticide is also used to describe a person who kills an infant, especially their own child.

31.  KILLINGS OF BLACK AND HISPANIC/LATINO UNBORN BABIES SINCE ROE v WADE.

32.  Commenting on a recent Wall Street Journal article titled: About the Black Abortion Rate. Written by Jason L. Riley, July 10, 2018. https://www.wsj.com/articles/lets-talk-about-the-black-abortion-rate-1531263697:

33.  This Wall Street Journal op ed states that in New York City thousands more black babies are aborted each year than are born alive,

34.  Jason quotes Jesse Jackson as saying at the time of Roe v Wade in 1973, Abortion is “murder.”

35.  Jesse Jackson also said: “[W]e [blacks] used to look for death from the man in the blue coat and now it comes in a white coat.”

36.  Blue coat is law enforcement officers. White coat is doctors and nurses who perform abortions.

37.   “In the intervening decades, [Jesse’s] views allegedly shifted. “Mr. Jackson [who labors to personify ‘civil rights’] [according to Jason] “abandoned the pro-life ship to run for president in 1984.”

38.  Jason states, “leaders of black civil-rights organizations [I add, like Jessee] today are joined at the hip with abortion-rights proponents such as Planned Parenthood.”

39.  The killing rate among black mothers is more than three times higher than it is for white mothers.

40.  Once again, and paraphrasing, in New York City thousands more black babies are killed by Democrat liberal policies than are born alive each year.

41.  Why is this so? Is the truth the fact that Planned Parenthood has placed a number of its abortion clinics in close proximity to the Black community, if not directly in Black neighborhoods, because Black women are more easily talked into having abortions?

42.  Is the truth that there has been and still is a conscious Margaret Sanger eugenics genocidal/crime against humanity prejudice against blacks and a concomitant ongoing effort to control the black population? And the Hispanic Latino population?

43.  Is it true that Planned Parenthood is “joined at the hip” with and funding Black civil rights organizations, which would obviously facilitate Planned Parenthood’s ability to access the Black community, retain a political climate favoring abortion, while talking Black women into having abortions?

44.  Not as an aside, ostensibly to curry favor and gain influence, Planned Parenthood gave Hillary Clinton the Margaret Sanger award, and today, as presciently observed by POTUS Trump during his 2016 debates with Hillary, we see an ever increasing concerted effort to push for abortion on demand, late term abortion, and even efforts to permit infanticide killing of the just born infant.

45.  Continuing from Jason and the Wall Street Journal: “Nationally, black women terminate pregnancies at far higher rates than other women.

46.  “In 2014, 36% of all abortions were performed on black women, who are just 13% of the female population.

47.  – The [never] discussed flip side of “reproductive freedom” is that

48.  – abortion deaths far exceed those via cancer,

49.  – abortion deaths far exceed those from violent crime (e.g. Chicago and Baltimore),

50.  – abortion deaths far exceed those from heart disease,

51.  – abortion deaths far exceed those from AIDS and

52.  – abortion deaths far exceed those from accidents.

53.  “Racism, poverty and lack of access to health care are [three] typical explanations for these disparities.

54.  “… Black women have much higher abortion rates even after you control for income.

55.  One argument used to explain away the higher number of Black abortions reads: “The more plausible explanation [has] to do with marriage.  Unmarried women are more likely to experience an unintended pregnancy, and black women are less likely than their white, Asian and Hispanic counterparts to marry.”But are they?

56.  A QUESTION FOR NANCY PELOSI. WHY THE FOCUS ON THE FEW ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CHILDREN AND LACK OF FOCUS ON THE MILLIONS OF OUR UNBORN WHO HAVE BEEN KILLED NEEDLESSLY?

57.   “Why is the Liberal media [and the Democratic Party] more concerned about the children of illegal immigrants and not [at all] concerned about the vast number of unborn Black and Hispanic and other babies who are being killed unceremoniously? 

58.  Is it true that the Democratic Party has this policy/attitude because the implementation of a policy of favoring illegal immigration holds out the prospect of more democratic votes?

59.  Is it true, Nancy, that you and your Democrat colleagues are receiving vast sums of campaign financing money from Planned Parenthood and others with like agendas? Hence your reluctance to rock the Planned Parenthood gravy train?

60.  Is the truth also that Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers are making egregious sums of money from the government for the abortions they perform, not to mention the many sterilizations?

61.  Is it true, Nancy, that you received huge campaign financing from Planned Parenthood and this is the reason you invited Dr.Leana Wen, President of Planned Parenthood, to POTUS Trump’s State of the Union address as your guest.

62.  If we conducted an audit of your campaign finances Nancy would we find out that you owe Leana in return?

63.  Notwithstanding the answers to these questions, what does happen when we interview women who have had an abortion and we ask them about their remorse years later?

64.  Do all if not most women regret killing/murdering/aborting their unborn babies? Jason says the answer is YES. 

65.  What happens when we “Interview fathers who never got to meet their child”? Is there serious regret on their part? The answer again is probably YES for most if not all.

66.  Judging from what is done as well by what is said, Nancy, and paraphrasing Jason’s words, are “Democrats and Millennials … being led by the nose by Progressive Liberals [down the abortion trail] and [it is] time to stop the group think [and rethink this whole killing fields 300,000,000+ tipping point matter]?”

67.  Reaching the number of 300,000,000+ killings of our unborn constitutes a horrific tipping point!

68.  It is time for Democrats to jettison their abortion platform position altogether!

69.  YES IT IS.

70.  300,000,000+ killings of our unborn since Roe v Wade means it is finally time for Planned Parenthood to “cut the baby in half” and give up its abortion practice altogether and focus on adoption instead of the killing fields of abortion!

71.  YES it is.

72.  NANCY, NAOMI, AND LEANA, WHETHER YOU ADMIT IT OR NOT ABORTION – THE KILLING OF 300,000,000+ OF OUR UNBORN BABIES SINCE ROE v WADE, NOT RUSSIA, NOT NORTH KOREA, NOT IRAN, NOT JOBS, NOT MANUFACTURING, NOT INFRASTRUCTURE, NOT THE BORDER WALL, NOT THE DIVERSIONARY INVESTIGATIONS, IS THE MOST SERIOUS PROBLEM OUR NATION FACES.

73.  With that in mind, I am asking you, Nancy, Naomi, Leana, and all Democrats, to do an about face, jettison your policy of killing the unborn, and go forward championing the right to life of the unborn plus adoption of those babies who are “not wanted for whatever reason.”

74.  BLACKS AND HISPANICS/LATINOS.

75.  POTUS Trump has repeatedly promised to help Black American communities.

76.  Yet, helping Black Americans is much more than jobs and employment.

77.  Evidence is overwhelming that the press and the Liberal Left including most if not all Democrats are far more interested in giving illegal immigrants unfettered access to America than in the immense abortion genocide crime against humanity [and now infanticide] that has plagued our country from its inception.

78.  This discussion is not about trimesters and viability, this discussion is about preservation of the Black family.

79.  This discussion is about preservation of the Hispanic and Latino family.

80.  It is about preservation of all families.

81.  This discussion is about Roe v Wade which is the seminal case that triggered the American abortion epidemic which has resulted in the killing of 300,000,000+ of our unborn babies..

82.  Given this devastation and destruction caused to Black and Hispanic and Latino and other American families, it does not take a conspiracy theorist to conclude that a fundamental tenet of the Democrat Left is the socialist subordination and final destruction of the family and all social institutions and their replacement with Government — with the socialist globalist elitist agenda being accomplished in large measure by abortion killing on demand and illegal immigration through open borders. 

83.  Looking at what has been done and what has been said to destroy Black and Hispanic and other families by Democrat liberal policies, it is not hard to conclude with Jason Riley that the destruction of American churches and civic associations and families is an undergirding tenet of the Left as well.

84.  I agree with Jason Riley.

85.  To the Left it would appear that the all too apparent abortion eugenics genocidal crime against humanity – the destruction of the Black and Hispanic/Latino cultures and communities — is unimportant.

86.  While the media and politicians and special counsels divert us voters with their endless investigations, added Black and Hispanic and Latino and other unborn babies are killed.

87.  The Democrat Left has this same plan for non-Black and non-Hispanic families as well – my family included as well as yours.

88.  Again, see Wall Street Journal article titled: About the Black Abortion Rate. Written by Jason L. Riley, July 10, 2018. https://www.wsj.com/articles/lets-talk-about-the-black-abortion-rate-1531263697

89.  THINK ABOUT IT NANCY, NAOMI, AND LEANA. There are just over 37 Million Black Americans today. Since your Liberal Democrat Roe v Wade abortion policy, 50,000,000+ Black unborn girl and boy babies have been Dismembered/dissolved/killed/murdered/flushed/sent to landfills/used in bizaar experiments/had their spines severed/aborted.

90.   Since Democrat Roe v Wade 50,000,000+ Hispanic/Latino unborn girl and boy babies have likewise been killed/murdered/aborted.

91.  50,000,000+ is more than the current Black population in America. 

92.  50,000,000+ is barely short of the current Hispanic/Latino population in America.

93.  Regardless of any rationalization by you and your Democrat Liberal Left, 300,000,000+ aborted/killed/murdered unborn babies by any stretch of the imagination is a eugenics/genocide/ crime against humanity/and now infanticide – i.e. Virginia; it is a crime or series of crimes against the unborn and now against the just born, at the grossest, most wicked levels, a crime justified in today’s society only by your so-called Democrat liberal Roe v Wade socialist values. 

94.  Every honest parent or grandparent ought to weep over the unwritten obituaries of the myriad unborn whose lives Liberal Democrat Socialist policies have in secret and unceremoniously snuffed out.

95.  Killing of our children is not just a tragedy, Nancy, Naomi, and Leana, murdering our children is criminal activity of the highest order.

96.  Such is much, much worse than the plethora of murders in Chicago and Baltimore.

97.  All it takes is one look at one photograph of an aborted baby and no person in or out of the Black or Hispanic communities, for that matter in her or his right mind, can rationalize away this corruption of morals and decency.

98.  It is inconceivable that a thinking Black, Hispanic, Latino, or person of any other group would vote Democrat until a Democrat Statesman or Stateswoman steps forward within the Democratic party and altogether eliminates this Liberal Democrat abortion policy and initiative.

99.  THE CONTROVERSY.

100. On its surface, this controversy swirls around what you have conveniently named “reproductive rights” or “a woman’s right to choose.” What is on the abortion operating table though is the “reproductive wrongs” not the “reproductive rights.”

101. What is at stake is the unborn baby’s right to life not a woman’s right to pleasure or comfort or “her own body.” Even more than this, what is at stake is the future of our nation.

102. What is at stake is the right of the Black Community not to be destroyed by this continuing eugenics genocide/crime against their humanity/and now infanticide.

103. What is at stake is the right of the Hispanic and Latino Community, the right of all peoples, not to be destroyed in like fashion.

104. THINK ABOUT YOUR PLANNED PARENTHOOD PROPAGANDA DRIVEN AGENDA AND ECONOMICS.

105. Abortion providers including Planned Parenthood take in more than a billion dollars annually and multi-billions of dollars of revenue over time and in the main for performing abortions.

106. By simple definition, you are killing babies for money.

107. Horrific forced and so-called voluntary sterilization of ethnic communities also generates part of your revenue and is another discussion altogether and not included as part of this discussion.

108. The subject of Sterilization in America awaits a courageous set of New York Times or Fox News or for that matter CNN journalists.

109. The U.S. government provides multi-millions of dollars annually and billions over time to abortion providers including those of you at Planned Parenthood.

110. From your annual report, Naomi, which you signed, and which is online, we read: “After 102 years, Planned Parenthood’s mission remains the same: to provide care, no matter what. Last year, our more than 600 health centers provided that care – which includes birth control, cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, safe and legal abortion, and so much more – to 2.4 million people across the country.”

111. First, although an abortion may in certain jurisdictions and under certain conditions be “lawful,” there is no such thing as a “safe” abortion.

112. Second, you write “We will continue building a world where all people have access to “Care.” No matter what.”

113. Is this prevarication? Yes it is. The word prevarication is a fancy way to say lie.

114. Let’s be truthful. What you are saying is that you will continue building a world where all people have access to abortion on demand. No matter what.

115. Third, you pitch a second propaganda lie that 12 million Americans are in favor of killing, murdering, selling or donating body parts, flushing, sending to land fills, splitting of spinal cords, of our unborn.

116. Your report then obfuscates in stating that “Medication abortion [is] available in 357 health centers.

117. Ladies, there is no such thing as “Medication abortion.”

118. You and or your PR handlers made up this phrase “Medication abortion.”

119. Use of the phrase “Medication abortion” is propaganda and obfuscation.

120. There is no such thing as “Medication abortion” and you know it.

121. This is prevarication at its finest.

122. Your Planned Parenthood report further documents its initiative to “expand reproductive rights in Latin America and into Africa.

123. The Planned Parenthood world-wide agenda is to foster abortion on demand throughout all nations thereby expanding the abortion genocide crimes against humanity killing fields exponentially.

124. The code words you use are “access to care.” That phrase as you use it primarily and simply means “access to kill an unborn baby on demand.”

125. You characterize yourself and your constituents as “Defenders.”

126. Again, this is smokescreen propaganda.

127. You aren’t defending anything except what can only be construed as your billion dollar gravy train.

128. Your policies and actions have resulted in the murder, killing, abortion of 300,000,000+ of our unborn baby girls and boys.

129. At the same time you have banked amazing wealth.

130. All the while the Democratic Party is influenced by your campaign contributions.

131. Another lie, and one no doubt set to galvanize your funding support base, is that people like Judge Kavanaugh and others are in the business of denying legitimate health care. Not so.

132. No one is in the business of denying legitimate health care.

133. You have redefined the words “legitimate health care” by conflating abortion with healthcare.

134. Abortion is not “health care.”

135. Abortion is killing the unborn for an annual revenue sum of $1,665,000,000.

136. Abortion is killing unborn babies, all the while diverting us with discussions about ethereal points along the gestation continuum, and unending investigations, for money. 

137. Your report shows annual revenues of $1,665,000,000 at minimum, more than a third of which came from “Government Health Services Reimbursements & Grants.” 

138. Yes, ladies, as you well know, that is a billion and a half dollars.

139. Notwithstanding your 501 C3 and 501 C4, anyone who suggests that your abortion industry and the abortion industry in general is an eleemosynary charity and not big business is lying or has his or her head in the sand not wanting to do or acknowledge or handle the truth. And obviously you do provide some added services to women.

140. To protect and augment your government and privately funded gravy train, your report shows that you spent:

141. $45,000,000 for Public Policy, [Looks like lobbyists are making huge sums from your abortion initiatives.]

142. $13,000,000 to engage communities [Looks like an excuse to fund local abortion initiatives and organizations], and

143. $76,000,000 for Advocacy, [Looks like law and accounting firms are making huge sums from abortion.]

144. $193,500,000 for management and general, [Looks like you and your board and your management are making serious salaries and vast sums from your abortion initiatives] plus

145. $102,000,000 for fundraising and at the end of the day you had

146. $244,000,000 of excess revenue over expenses, just in one year, which you banked or turned over to investment bankers who manage your portfolio. 

147. IS THERE CAUSE FOR CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS AND CLASS ACTION CIVIL SUITS?

148. I think so. Yes, there is. Complete with attendant auditing and deep discovery.

149. I am an attorney at law and I think I know a set of potential winnable cases when I see them.

150. Given the 300,000,000+ number, it is not difficult at all to conclude that Planned Parenthood and the Democratic Party and those supporting and performing and funding abortions may well be guilty of the evil crimes of Genocide, the grossest Crimes Against Humanity, and now even Infanticide – all actions that warrant criminal prosecution and civil class actions.

151. Given the 300,000,000+ number, it is not difficult to draw the conclusion that pro-abortion legislators and judges, and abortion providers including Planned Parenthood and the Democratic Party, yourselves included, and some misguided persons and companies who provide you with funding, including no doubt a number of closet liberal republicans, may be individually and collectively guilty of these same crimes of genocide and crimes against humanity – and now even infanticide crimes [i.e. Virginia] against the just born – not to mention the crimes for harming women who have been talked if not conned into having an abortion – again, it is not difficult to suggest the need for the DOJ to take a hard look at possible criminal prosecution and for law firms across the country to take a hard look at filing civil class actions.

152. It took years for the government and nation to get the act together so as to focus on the tobacco industry.

153. At some point there was a tipping point and Ladies 300,000,000+ is tipping point.

154. The ordinary meaning of genocide is murder of people due to their national, ethnic, racial, or religious group membership.

155. Has the government or Planned Parenthood fostered and funded the murder of ethnic, racial, or religious groups? Looks like both have done so.

156. Can government officers and the Planned Parenthood Board and officers hide behind any shield when it comes to genocide and crimes against humanity and infanticide? I think not.

157. Does killing 50,000,000+ Black unborn babies since Roe v Wade in 1973 constitute a eugenics driven genocide crime against the Black community?  Probably does.

158. How about 50,000,000+ Hispanic/Latino unborn babies?  Likewise.

159. How about 200,000,000+ Jewish, Native American, Asian, Caucasian unborn babies? Looks like it.

160. How many deaths, how many murders, how many killings of our unborn children and grandchildren is enough  to reach the tipping point so as to generate a formal repudiation of all abortion and formal criminal charges and massive class action civil lawsuits?

161. Are 300,000,000+ killings enough? Absolutely.

162. Are 50,000,000+ killings enough? Yes.

163. Are 200,000,000+ killings enough? Absolutely.

164. Should the FBI and Department of Justice take on the abortion industry like they took on the Tobacco industry and investigate the abortion industry carefully and work together to issue indictments? Yes they should.

165. THE TIPPING POINT WAS REACHED LONG AGO.

166. Notwithstanding, the tipping point has now been reached what with 300,000,000+ killings.

167. I predict aggressive pro-life litigators will take on the task of digging up and harrowing these Planned Parenthood and other abortion killing fields to the tune of billions of dollars if not trillions.

168. Is it time for POTUS Trump and the DOJ to appoint a special counsel to investigate the abortion infanticide sterilization industry and its ties to the Democratic Party. The 300,000,000+ tipping point has been reached. Bring on the special counsel. I for one would welcome such an appointment.

169. LADIES, WHAT IS GENOCIDE AND WHAT IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY?

170. Genocide is the deliberate killing of a large group of people [babies], especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation.

171. Synonyms are

172. racial killing,

173. massacre,

174. wholesale slaughter,

175. mass slaughter,

176. wholesale killing,

177. indiscriminate killing,

178. mass murder,

191. ethnic cleansing,

192. Holocaust,

193. AMERICAN SKIRTS ARE NOT CLEAN CONSIDERING THE GENOCIDE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY KILLING FIELDS INVOLVING OUR NATIVE AMERICANS.

194. A few minute study and one is hard pressed to deny that America is charged with the largest genocide in world history – with the killing of several millions of Native Americans.

195. I ask you three ladies, what is the difference between killing off 70,000,000 indigenous Native American people and killing 300,000,000+ unborn babies – 50,000,000+ Black unborn babies and 50,000,000+ Hispanic and Latino unborn babies and 200,000,000+ Jewish, Native American, Asian American, Caucasian American unborn babies?

196. This same genocidal crime against humanity policy is continued today against Native Americans in the guise of Planned Parenthood and government sponsored abortions and sterilizations of Native Americans.

197. But again, forced or heavily encouraged sterilization is a discussion topic for another day and no doubt for litigation as well.

198.  “Historian David Stannard writes that by the year 1769, the destruction of the American aboriginal population down to just one-third of one percent of the total American population of 76 million was the most massive genocide in world history, and “there was, at last, almost no one left to kill.”[47] [Divide 76 million by 6 million and what do you get? You get 12.6 holocausts.]

199. “According to anthropologist Russell Thornton, for the American Indians “the arrival of the Europeans marked the beginning of a long holocaust, although it came not in ovens, as it did for the Jews.

200. “The fires that consumed North America Indians were the fevers brought on by newly encountered diseases, the flashes of settlers’ and soldiers’ guns, the ravages of “firewater,” the flames of villages and fields burned by the scorched-earth policy of vengeful Euro-Americans.”[61] 

201. “David Quammen likened colonial American practices toward Native Americans to those of Australia toward its aboriginal populations, calling both genocide.[62] 

202. “Some authors, including Holocaust scholar David Cesarani, have argued that United States government policies in furtherance of its so-called Manifest Destiny constituted genocide.[63]

203. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocides_in_history#Americas

204. Does this genocidal crimes against humanity killing continue today in America, only in a different form and disguise?

205. Does it continue in the killing fields of abortion and now [i.e. Virginia] that of infanticide of Native American babies?

206. Does it continue in the killing fields of abortion and now infanticide of Black American babies?

207. Does it continue in the killing fields of abortion and now infanticide of Hispanic and Latino American babies?

208. Does it continue in the killing fields of abortion and now infanticides of Jewish and Native American, and Indian, and Asian and Caucasian unborn babies?

209. Does it continue in the forced and heavily encouraged sterilizations, again a topic for another day?

210. Sure it does.

211. AMERICAN SKIRTS ARE NOT CLEAN CONSIDERING THE GENOCIDE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY KILLING FIELDS OF SLAVERY AND OUR BLACKS.

212. Historically, “estimates by Patrick Manning are that about 12 million slaves entered the Atlantic [slave] trade between the 16th and 19th century, but about 1.5 million died on board ship. About 10.5 million slaves arrived in the Americas. Besides the slaves who died on the Middle Passage, more Africans … died during the slave raids in Africa and forced marches to ports. Manning estimates that 4 million died inside Africa after capture, and many more died young. Manning’s estimate covers the 12 million who were originally destined for the Atlantic, as well as the 6 million destined for Asian slave markets and the 8 million destined for African markets.[68]  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_slave_trade#Human_toll

213.  LADIES, WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF GENOCIDE?

214.  Article 6 of the Rome Statute defines the crime of “genocide” as any of the following acts, committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or, religious group.

215.  It is killing members of a group.

216.  It is causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group. See http://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/crimes-against-humanity.html

217.  WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY?

218.  Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court Article 7 reads:

219.  For the purpose of this Statute, ‘crime against humanity’ means any of the following acts when committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack:

220.  Murder;

221.  Extermination;

222.  Enslavement;

223.  Deportation or forcible transfer of population;

224.  Imprisonment or

225.  Other severe deprivation of physical liberty in violation of fundamental rules of international law;

226.  Torture;

227.  Rape, 

228.  sexual slavery,

229.  enforced prostitution,

230.  forced pregnancy,

231.  enforced sterilization [a topic for another day],

232.  or any other form of sexual violence of comparable gravity;

233.  Persecution against any identifiable group or collectivity on

234.  political,

235.  racial,

236.  national,

237.  ethnic,

238.  cultural,

239.  religious,

240.  gender as defined in paragraph 3,

241.  or other grounds that are universally recognized as impermissible under international law,

242.  in connection with any act referred to in this paragraph or any crime within the jurisdiction of the Court;

243.  Enforced disappearance of persons;

244.  The crime of apartheid;

245.  Other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing

246.  great suffering,

247.  or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health.

248.  For the purpose of paragraph 1:

249.  ‘Attack directed against any civilian population’ means a course of conduct involving the multiple commission of acts referred to in paragraph 1 against any civilian population, pursuant to or in furtherance of a State [the USA] or organizational [Planned Parenthood and Democratic Party] policy to commit such attack;

250.  Elements of a Crime against Humanity. According to Article 7 (1) of the Rome Statute, crimes against humanity do not need to be linked to an armed conflict and can also occur in peacetime, similar to the crime of genocide.

251.  This same Article provides a definition of the crime that contains the following main elements:

252.  A physical element, which includes the commission of “any of the following acts”:

253.  Murder;

254.  Extermination;

255.  Enslavement;

256.  Deportation or forcible transfer of population;

257.  Imprisonment;

258.  Torture;

259.  Grave forms of sexual violence;

260.  Persecution;

261.  Enforced disappearance of persons;

262.  The crime of apartheid;

263.  Other inhumane acts.

264.  A contextual element: “when committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population” [against Blacks? Against Hispanics? Against Native Americans? Of course.]; and

265.  A mental element: “with knowledge of the attack”

266.  The contextual element determines that crimes against humanity involve either large-scale violence in relation to the number of victims –

267.  [Does 300,000,000+ qualify? How about 50,000,000+? Sure they do.]

268.  [Is this the tipping point? Of course it is.] –

269.   or its extension over a broad geographic area (widespread), 

270.  or a methodical type of violence (systematic).

271.  This excludes random, accidental or isolated acts of violence. 

272.  [No one can argue that abortion is a random, or accidental, or isolated act of violence.]

273.  In addition, Article 7(2)(a) of the Rome Statute determines that crimes against humanity must be committed in furtherance of a State [USA] or organizational [Planned Parenthood and the Democratic Party] policy to commit an attack.

274.  The plan or policy does not need to be explicitly stipulated or formally adopted and can, therefore, be inferred from the totality of the circumstances.

275.  In contrast with genocide, crimes against humanity do not [even] need to target a specific group.

276.  [There is no question but what Blacks are targeted and Hispanics and Latinos are targeted. There is no question but what Native Americans are targeted.]

277.  Instead, the victim of the attack can be any civilian population,

278.  regardless of its affiliation or identity.

279.  Another important distinction is that in the case of crimes against humanity, it is not necessary to prove that there is an overall specific intent.

280.  It suffices for there to be a simple intent to commit any of the acts listed,

281.  with the exception of the act of persecution, which requires additional discriminatory intent.

282.  The perpetrator must also act with knowledge of the attack against the civilian population and that his/her action is part of that attack.

283.   [1] For example, William Schabas, Unimaginable Atrocities – Justice, Politics, and Rights at the War Crimes Tribunals, Oxford University Press, 2012 – p. 51-53.

284.  [2] For example, M. Cherif Bassiouni, Crimes Against Humanity in International Criminal Law, Martinus Nijhoff Publishers, 1999, p.62

285.  SO LADIES, IT IS TIME.

286. THE TIPPING POINT HAS ARRIVED.

287. IT IS TIME TO PROHIBIT AND ELIMINATE ABORTION ALTOGETHER EXCEPT IN EXTREMELY RARE INSTANCES.

288. IT IS TIME TO RECOGNIZE ABORTION FOR WHAT IT IS – THE GENOCIDE AND CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY AND NOW INFANTICIDE KILLING AND MURDER OF OUR UNBORN?

289. YES IT IS.

290. IT IS TIME TO REMOVE THIS CANCEROUS TUMOR FROM AMERICA’S HEAD.

291. IT IS TIME TO REMOVE THIS ALBATROSS, THIS MILLSTONE, FROM AROUND THE NECKS OF THE BLACK AND HISPANIC AND OTHER COMMUNITIES?

292. It is time to do so:

293. Because it is the morally right thing to do.

294. Because it is the ethically right thing to do.

295. Because it is the legally and Constitutionally right thing to do.

296. Because it is the philosophically right thing to do.

297. Because it is the socially right thing to do.

298. Because it is the theologically/religiously right thing to do.

299. THE TIPPING POINT HAS BEEN REACHED AND IT IS TIME TO CUT OUT THIS CANCER AND ELIMINATE THIS SCOURGE.

300. NOW IS THE TIME.

301. LADIES, THIS DISCUSSION WOULD NOT BE COMPLETE UNLESS I TAKE A MINUTE AND PUT IT IN THE BROADER CONTEXT OF ITS THEOLOGICAL AND RELIGIOUS TEACHINGS.

302. Whether you are a believer or not, the Holy Scriptures teach that you and I are daughters and sons of heavenly parents.

303. Scriptures teach that we lived with our heavenly parents prior to our mortality and that we have always had and always will have our same general appearance, identity and personality.

304. We did not just flare into existence at conception or at some time during our gestation prior to our physical birth.

305. The birth process is the DNA driven process by which we came and our unborn come from heaven into mortality.

306. Scriptures teach that every unborn child is a spirit child of God, and like it or not you are  my sisters and I am your brother.

307. Your mortality is very short and usually too short, as is mine. 

308. Mortality is your very short God given “out of His presence” individually designed test of your and my character.

309. As such, it is easy to conclude that if we are in favor of, and if we knowingly foster and promote and perform, the killing of our spirit sisters and brothers, if we are in favor of killing and in fact are engaged in killing our unborn babies, we are failing our mortal test badly at the moment.

310. Notwithstanding, we still have some time left in mortality before our death.

311.  Scriptures testify that this life is the very short time to repent and prepare once again to meet our Heavenly Father and His Son when we die where we will be judged according to our thoughts, words, and actions.

312.  Luke 17:2 reads “It were better for him [or her after mortality] that a millstone were hanged about his [or her] neck, and he [or she be] cast into the sea, than that he [or she] should offend one of these little ones.”

313.  So how much does a millstone weigh? The weight of a biblical millstone is no light matter. It is as much as 1,500 kilograms or 3,300 pounds.

314.  Jesus the Christ is saying if we harm a little unborn baby girl or baby boy the penalty is far worse than death by drowning with a millstone of 3,300 pounds hanged about our neck!

315.  This thought is sobering and worth thinking deeply about as both moral construct and theological constraint.

316.  This is also of consequence given the fact that for those who take time and have eyes to see it is increasingly apparent that end times are upon the world and Christ will descend from his throne in heaven and return in fearsome great glory and power in the not too distant future to judge you and me and the world. 

317.  Read Revelation 19 and Matthew 25 if you are not afraid of a “Come to Jesus” sobering read.

318.  So because all of us have sinned and come short of the glory of God, ladies, we would all do well  to repent of our sins today.

319. So I ask you, Nancy, Naomi, and Leana, are you three women willing to leave as your legacy the fact that you and your liberal democrat policies and friends caused untold pain, suffering, and death to millions of unborn babies and their mothers and other family members and at the same time run the risk of having to explain your actions at the judgment bar of God when you die?  I think not. I think you are smarter than that.

320.  How many unborn baby killings/murders/deaths are we as a nation willing to stomach before we and your Liberal Democrat political party, and your Planned Parenthood Board, and your leadership officers and medical providers turn this around and eliminate altogether this 300,000,000+ scourge and 3,300 pound millstone around the neck of our nation altogether?

321.  IN SUMMARY.  

322.  THE TIPPING POINT OF 300,000,000+ UNBORN BABY KILLINGS HAS BEEN REACHED.

323.  THE TIPPING POINT OF 50,000,000+ UNBORN BLACK BABY KILLINGS HAS BEEN REACHED.

324.  THE TIPPING POINT OF 50,000,000+ UNBORN HISPANIC AND LATINO BABY KILLINGS HAS BEEN REACHED.

325.  I predict serious criminal prosecutions and civil class action suits are waiting in the wings.

326.  It is time to turn this matter around while there is still patience.

327.  It is time to voluntarily cease and desist committing abortions altogether except in extreme instances.

328.  It is time for great statesmen and stateswoman politicians and great lawyers and great law firms to stand up and be counted and take whatever government investigations, special counsels, criminal and civil case actions are necessary.

329.  IT IS TIME TO ELIMINATE THE SCOURGE OF ABORTION COMPLETELY.

330.  THE 300,000,000+ TIPPING POINT HAS BEEN REACHED.

331.  The horrific internet pictures and facts about abortion can no longer be kept in the closet.

332.  We are long past the time when the Democratic Political Party of abortion and the Planned Parenthood organizational policies and complicit medical and pharmaceutical providers can get away with killing/murdering/ripping apart/sending to landfills/flushing/using tiny body parts in bizaar experiments/severing spinal cords/ selling body parts/committing abortions with impunity and behind closed doors.

333.  300,000,000+ IS THE TIPPING POINT, LADIES.

334.  The abortion party and its gravy train is over whether you acknowledge this fact of unborn life or not.

335.  THESE ARE RATIONAL SOLUTIONS!

336.  IT IS PAST TIME for all Democrats if for no other reason than self-preservation to jettison their current abhorrent abortion policy and eliminate all abortion except in extremely rare cases.

337.  IT IS PAST TIME for all Americans to ‘LOVE’ all of our unborn babies regardless of ethnicity, to “LOVE” our precious little ones who are incapable of protecting themselves.

338.  IT IS PAST TIME for Planned Parenthood and all abortion providers to stop this abhorrent practice of abortion and instead focus their treasure and energies on adoption.

339.  IT IS PAST TIME for POTUS to declare a national holiday of freedom and independence from abortion – to celebrate the freedom and right to life of our defenseless children, born and unborn.

340.  IT IS PAST TIME for Congress to pass a WE LOVE AND PROTECT OUR CHILDREN, BORN AND UNBORN amendment to the U.S. Constitution based on  these inalienable rights and principles:

340.1.                  We LOVE and TREASURE our CHILDREN, born and unborn.

340.2.                  Each of our children, born or unborn, is guaranteed her or his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

340.3.                  No person or organization may traffic in or harm our children, born or unborn without consequence.

340.4.                  No person may commit or perform an abortion or infanticide, or accept remuneration of any kind for an abortion or infanticide.

340.5.                  No abortion may be performed on our unborn children, except as agreed to by the mother in the case of incest, rape, or to protect the health of the mother.

340.6.                  Each and every child is to be brought to term and where the mother elects not to care for or is incapable of caring for the child, that child is to be placed for adoption.

341.  IT IS PAST TIME for Congress to strengthen and approve criminal statutes making it illegal for anyone to traffic in children, or perform or take or give remuneration of any kind for an abortion except as approved by the mother,  in the case of incest, rape, or to protect the health of the mother, under penalty of a fine of $X and imprisonment of not less than Y years.

THE TIPPING POINT HAS BEEN REACHED, NANCY, NAOMI, AND LEANA.

IT IS TIME TO CEASE ALL ABORTIONS EXCEPT IN EXTREMELY RARE INSTANCES.

Best personal regards, Richard W. Linford r.linford@comcast.net

What 5 Steps can POTUS Trump take to guarantee he will only serve one term? BARREL & PORK

PORK, what steps can POTUS Trump take to guarantee that he will be a one term president?


BARREL, I think POTUS Trump can guarantee that he will be a one term president if he fails to keep us FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS, if he fails to clearly show the nation all the promises he has kept. 


[YOU MAY WANT TO BUY RICHARD LINFORD’S NEW BOOK “RECUSAL OF JEFF SESSIONS! RECUSAL OF MATTHEW WHITAKER?]

In particular, he can guarantee that he will be a one term president simply by taking all or some combination of the following five steps:


STEP 1. IMMIGRATION. Fail to control the border and stop the invasion and fail to build the wall as he promised. 


STEP 2. ABORTION. Fail to protect the BLACK, HISPANIC, JEWISH, NATIVE AMERICAN, ASIAN AMERICAN, CAUCASIAN AMERICAN unborn as he promised.** 


3. JOBS AND TAXES. Fail to keep front and center the message to BLACKS and HISPANICS and ALL OTHER AMERICAS that he is helping them with jobs and tax breaks as he promised. 


4. RULE OF LAW. Fail to indict and prosecute and bring to justice those including rich and famous who have aggrandized and enriched themselves by prostituting their elected or appointed offices as he promised. 


5. MESSAGE. Fail to show and teach the nation’s Republican and Democrat WOMEN, MEN, YOUTH, BLACKS, HISPANICS, JEWISH AMERICANS, NATIVE AMERICANS, ASIAN AMERICANS, CAUCASIAN AMERICANS all of the promises he has kept and the immense good he has done during his term in office.


** Since democrat founded Roe v Wade in 1973 more than 300,000,000+ unborn American babies have been surgically and chemically murdered, killed, flushed, sent to land fills, sold for body parts, aborted: 50,000,000+ of the 300,000,000+ were BLACK babies. 50,000,000+ were HISPANIC babies.

POLITICAL ALBATROSS SYNDROME. We think Democrats are suffering from POLITICAL ALBATROSS SYNDROME. BARREL & PORK.

BARREL, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and Clintons and Obamas and the democrats cannot sidestep the fact that they have negative messages and they have done nothing to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS. Chuck and Nancy and Clintons and Obamas and their cronies have no platform of substance that is helpful to us. Their policies are all albatrosses around their necks. The democrats are suffering from what I call POLITICAL ALBATROSS SYNDROME. 


Unless the democrats jettison their current leadership and their albatrosses, they have little or no hope of winning elections and governing.


What do you mean, albatrosses and albatross syndrome, PORK? 


BARREL, the albatross is a very big sea bird. 


In the poem “The Rime of the ancient Mariner,” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the sailor who shoots and kills the friendly albatross is compelled by the ship crew to wear the albatross carcass around his neck as a terrible punishment because the crew blames the sailor for the horribly bad luck that befalls the ship and the crew.


Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and Clintons and Obamas and their cronies have saddled the rank and file democrats with policies that don’t work and now at minimum these 5 albatrosses are hanging around the necks of Chuck and Nancy and Clintons and Obamas and their cronies and by extension all democrats, and they must jettison and get rid of them if they are ever to be relevant, win elections, and govern well, if at all – hence my characterization – the democratic party leadership and many if not all democrats are suffering from political albatross syndrome.


1) ALBATROSS ONE. They have done nothing of substance to help us be FREE. 


2) ALBATROSS TWO. They have done nothing of substance to help us be SAFE. 


3) ALBATROSS THREE. They have done nothing of substance to help us be PROSPEROUS. 


4) ALBATROSS FOUR. They have a policy of CRITICISM and ACCUSATIONS of POTUS Trump and anyone, Judge Kavanaugh included, who does anything to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS. 


5) ALBATROSS FIVE. They have a policy of INVESTIGATIONS designed to marginalize POTUS Trump and all efforts to help us, to help America, be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS. 


6) ALBATROSS SIX. They have a globalist policy of open borders without proper vetting and e-verification and this to our definite harm. 


All women want to be safe. 


All men want to be safe. 


All who come to America need to come through the front door, be vetted and e-verified. 


Our borders are valued and must be protected with troops, with a wall, whatever is necessary. 


All immigration into the U.S. must be orderly.


7) ALBATROSS SEVEN. They have a globalist policy of open abortion to the genocidal destruction of BLACK babies and HISPANIC babies and NATIVE AMERICAN babies and JEWISH AMERICAN babies and ASIAN AMERICAN babies and CAUCASIAN babies. 


You and I both know, BARREL, that primarily on the democrat’s watch and at their instance more than 300,000,000 American unborn babies have been surgically and chemically killed, murdered, dismembered since Roe v Wade in 1973. 


50,000,000+ were BLACK babies. 50,000,000+ were HISPANIC babies. (It is no wonder we see BLEXIT – and Walkaway – with Blacks and Hispanics and others leaving the democratic party in droves.)


The other 200,000,000+ were JEWISH, NATIVE AMERICAN, ASIAN AMERICAN, and CAUCASIAN babies.


The only one who is keeping his positive campaign promises front and center with laser focus on helping us and our unborn be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS is POTUS Trump and most of his colleagues.

Calling Chelsea Clinton to join the anti-abortion right to life movement. BARREL & PORK.

PORK, did you notice Chelsea Clinton’s inane and politically corrupt response to abortion?


Chelsea Clinton’s statement that abortion has created trillions of economic dollars is inane and politically corrupt.

Yes, BARREL. She doesn’t get it. She needs get her act together and take issue with her mother and focus and join the cause to ELIMINATE ABORTION WORLD-WIDE.

IN THE U.S. ALONE, HER MOTHER’S DEMOCRAT ROE v WADE PLANNED PARENTHOOD MARGARET SANGER ABORTION INITIATIVES HAVE BEEN PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF 300,000,000+ UNBORN BABIES WHO HAVE BEEN SURGICALLY AND CHEMICALLY MURDERED, KILLED, DISMEMBERED, FLUSHED, DISSOLVED, POISONED, RIPPED APART, SENT TO LAND FILLS, SOLD FOR BODY PARTS, SUBJECTED TO AND SUBJECT OF BLACK AND HISPANIC NOT TO MENTION NATIVE AMERICAN AND OTHER GENOCIDE; SINCE DEMOCRAT ROE v. WADE, 50,000,000+ BLACK BABIES, 50,000,000+ HISPANIC BABIES, and 200,000,000+ JEWISH, NATIVE AMERICAN, ASIAN AMERICAN, CAUCASIAN BABIES HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE U.S. ALONE.

POTUS TRUMP HAS TAKEN STEPS TO FIX THIS ON-GOING TRAGEDY NOW!

ADOPTION NOT ABORTION IS ONE ANSWER THAT MAKES SENSE.

No knowledgeable BLACK or HISPANIC, JEWISH, NATIVE AMERICAN, ASIAN AMERICAN, CAUCASIAN citizen or non-citizen American or immigrant should ever vote democrat until they change their policy and fix this problem.

Connecting abortion to economic benefit of women in the work force is ludicrous and the height of politically corrupt morals.

Richard William “Wilberforce” Linford.

PORK, YOU ARE RIGHT. AND DID YOU NOTICE THAT THE FBI FINALLY FIRED PETER STRZOK?

Yes, BARREL, it is long past time. Shouldn’t he face criminal charges?

PORK, sure seems like it. Don’t know if AG Sessions and DAG Rosenstein have the courage to do so.

Read details here. STRZOK FIRED. LONG PAST TIME. Shouldn’t he face criminal charges?

Regardless of Strzok and his sorry performance, BARREL, WE HONOR POTUS TRUMP FOR KEEPING THESE FORTY THREE PROMISES.

BARREL, as a reminder, I still have this set of 25 questions for POTUS Trump about the WALL.

What are they, PORK?

POTUS Trump:

  1. Don’t you think Congress has had its chance to build the wall?
  2. Don’t you think Congress has failed and needs to be “fired?”
  3. Don’t you think Congress, especially democrats, has failed and any responsibility for the wall and its funding needs to be removed from their oversight?
  4. POTUS Trump, in your business, if your employees were dragging their feet and not getting the job done, wouldn’t you fire them promptly?
  5. Wouldn’t you personally take charge and get the project done?
  6. Don’t you have the power to build the complete wall immediately? YOU DO.
  7. Don’t you have plenty of money in the military budget to build the wall immediately? YOU DO.
  8. Don’t you think it is time to pull all stops and get the wall done now? IT IS.
  9. Don’t you think it is time to assign the Army Corps of Engineers to completely build the wall within the next couple of months?
  10. Doesn’t the Army Corps of Engineers have the capacity to build the wall in war time? YES THEY DO.
  11. Doesn’t the U.S. Military have the capacity to build the wall in war time in a couple of months? YES THEY DO.
  12. Don’t you think we are at war with the drug cartels and other terrorist groups and even certain nations? YES WE ARE.
  13. In any war time situation, wouldn’t the Army Corps of Engineers and Military under General Mattis be called upon to move extremely fast? YES THEY WOULD.
  14. Again, are we not at war with the Mexican drug cartels and terrorists groups and even other nations? YES WE ARE!Are they not killing thousands of our young and old with their illicit drugs and gang members?  YES THEY ARE.
  15. Don’t you think the most humane treatment of all regarding those from whatever country who are trying to come to the U.S. is to put a complete end to illicit border crossings by shutting down the coyotes completely? YES IT IS.
  16. Don’t you think it is humane and the right thing to do and beyond time to seal the border and make everyone come in through the front gate and be vetted?
  17. Don’t you think it is time for you to give a very detailed progress report to the nation about the status of the WALL BUILD and the safety of the nation?
  18. Isn’t your approval rating high – in our judgment 80% – 90% not hovering at 50% as some would have us believe? We propose that this is true regardless of polls because you command 90% of the media attention in the nation and world.
  19. Didn’t we vote for you because you said you would build the wall and make Mexico pay for it?
  20. Don’t you think it is time to make good on your promise?
  21. Don’t you think you ought to get out of your Oval Office chair and report on the wall and launch a major build the wall effort BEFORE THE COMING ELECTIONS?
  22. POTUS Trump, did you or did you not promise you would build the wall, no excuses?
  23. Don’t you think it is time to REPORT TO THE NATION AND BUILD THE WALL NOW?
  24. Don’t you think you ought to hire us, BARREL & PORK, to put all of your promises on a grid so you can report daily to the American people about your progress in keeping your promises?
  25. Don’t you think top of the list should be BUILD THE WALL AND MAKE MEXICO PAY FOR IT?

PORK, as another aside, you need to Buy Richard Linford’s MEDITATIONS ON ‘THE IMITATION OF CHRIST BY THOMAS A KEMPIS’ BOOK ONE ‘ADMONITIONS PROFITABLE FOR THE SPIRITUAL LIFE.’

Yes, BARREL, and don’t forget ABORTION. We need to focus and ELIMINATE IT. IN THE U.S. ALONE, 300,000,000+ UNBORN BABIES HAVE BEEN SURGICALLY AND CHEMICALLY MURDERED, KILLED, DISMEMBERED, FLUSHED, DISSOLVED, POISONED, RIPPED APART, SENT TO LAND FILLS, SUBJECTED TO GENOCIDE, SOLD FOR BODY PARTS, SINCE DEMOCRAT ROE v. WADE; 50,000,000+ BLACK BABIES, 50,000,000+ HISPANIC BABIES, 200,000,000+ JEWISH, NATIVE AMERICAN, ASIAN AMERICAN, CAUCASIAN BABIES HAVE BEEN KILLED. YOU POLITICIANS NEED TO FIX THIS NOW NOT LATER.

ADOPTION NOT ABORTION IS A GOOD PLACE TO START.

Democrats who reject Nancy Pelosi. BARREL & PORK.

LOOK AT THIS

LONG, LONG LIST OF DEMOCRAT CONGRESS PERSONS WHO REFUSE TO SUPPORT NANCY PELOSI

BARREL, I read the long, long list of democrats who do not and will not support Nancy Pelosi.

Yes, PORK, they are calling for new leadership on both sides of the aisle.

BARREL, I think it is high time for Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan to ride off into the sunset.

Yes, PORK. Time to let new leadership stand up and work together and work with POTUS Trump and get rid of the NEGATIVE NARRATIVES and help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.

You know, BARREL. We have told both democrats and republicans how they can win elections. Some have got the message. Others continue on their same same old identity politics track.

Right, PORK. All any politician has to do today to win is honestly work with POTUS Trump to help us be

FREE (Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom to bear arms; hold those accountable who have broken the law and gotten rich by misusing their offices)

SAFE (Build the wall and shut down all illegal border crossings and make sure all come in through the front door to be vetted and become part of Everify; shut down drug trafficking; shut down gangs; shut down international criminal syndicates; shut down terrorist-related activities);

PROSPEROUS (Jobs, jobs, jobs, manufacturing, manufacturing, manufacturing, cut taxes, cut the national debt).

PORK, DID YOU HEAR THAT SAUDI ARABIA CRUCIFIED A MAN FOR MURDER, THEFT, ATTEMPTED RAPE.

Yes, I did, BARREL. Click here to read the details. https://www.bloombergquint.com/onweb/2018/08/08/saudi-arabia-carries-out-rare-crucifixion-for-murder-theft#gs.kj7Rr5A

BARREL, as a reminder, I have this set of 25 questions for POTUS Trump.

What are they, PORK?

POTUS Trump:

  1. Don’t you think Congress has had its chance to build the wall?
  2. Don’t you think Congress has failed and needs to be “fired?”
  3. Don’t you think Congress, especially democrats, has failed and any responsibility for the wall and its funding needs to be removed from their oversight?
  4. POTUS Trump, in your business, if your employees were dragging their feet and not getting the job done, wouldn’t you fire them promptly?
  5. Wouldn’t you personally take charge and get the project done?
  6. Don’t you have the power to build the complete wall immediately? YOU DO.
  7. Don’t you have plenty of money in the military budget to build the wall immediately? YOU DO.
  8. Don’t you think it is time to pull all stops and get the wall done now?
  9. Don’t you think it is time to assign the Army Corps of Engineers to build the wall in the next month?
  10. Doesn’t the Army Corps of Engineers have the capacity to build the wall in war time? YES THEY DO.
  11. Doesn’t the U.S. Military have the capacity to build the wall in the next two months? YES THEY DO.
  12. Don’t you think we are at war with the drug cartels and other terrorist groups and even certain nations? YES WE ARE.
  13. In any war time situation, wouldn’t the Army Corps of Engineers and Military under General Mattis be called upon to move extremely fast? YES THEY WOULD.
  14. Again, are we not at war with the Mexican drug cartels and terrorists groups and even other nations? YES WE ARE!Are they not killing thousands of our young and old with their illicit drugs and gang members?  YES THEY ARE.
  15. Don’t you think the most humane treatment of all regarding those from whatever country who are trying to come to the U.S. is to put a complete end to illicit border crossings by shutting down the coyotes completely? YES IT IS.
  16. Don’t you think it is humane and the right thing to do and beyond time to seal the border and make everyone come in through the front gate and be vetted?
  17. Don’t you think it is time for you to give a very detailed progress report to the nation about the status of the WALL BUILD and the safety of the nation?
  18. Isn’t your approval rating high – in our judgment 80% – 90% not hovering at 50% as some would have us believe? We propose that this is true regardless of polls because you command 90% of the media attention in the nation and world.
  19. Didn’t we vote for you because you said you would build the wall and make Mexico pay for it?
  20. Don’t you think it is time to make good on your promise?
  21. Don’t you think you ought to get out of your Oval Office chair and report on the wall and launch a major build the wall effort BEFORE THE COMING ELECTIONS?
  22. POTUS Trump, did you or did you not promise you would build the wall, no excuses?
  23. Don’t you think it is time to REPORT TO THE NATION AND BUILD THE WALL NOW?
  24. Don’t you think you ought to hire us, BARREL & PORK, to put all of your promises on a grid so you can report daily to the American people about your progress in keeping your promises?
  25. Don’t you think top of the list should be BUILD THE WALL AND MAKE MEXICO PAY FOR IT?

PORK, as another aside, you need to Buy Richard Linford’s MEDITATIONS ON ‘THE IMITATION OF CHRIST BY THOMAS A KEMPIS’ BOOK ONE ‘ADMONITIONS PROFITABLE FOR THE SPIRITUAL LIFE.’

How republicans can win elections. BARREL & PORK.

POTUS TRUMP APPROVAL RATING IS 80 TO 90%.


DO NOTHING DISAFFECTED REPUBLICANS AND DO NOTHING DEMOCRATS SCHUMER, PELOSI, AND OTHERS, CONTINUE THEIR DOWNWARD SPIRAL INTO OBLIVION, WHILE POTUS TRUMP CONTINUES TO DELIVER ON HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISES.

POTUS TRUMP APPROVAL RATING IS 80 to 90%.

  1. POTUS TRUMP chalks up another campaign promise done. POTUS TRUMP says this Russia reset with President Putin will be an even greater success with many positive things to come. [Discussed working together to eliminate terrorism, working together to eliminate Syrian conflict and provide humanitarian aid, coupled with talks of reducing nuclear armaments.]
  2. Do nothing democrats and disaffected republicans went and still are nuts with Trump Derangement Syndrome. All they can do is accuse both POTUS TRUMP and President Putin, while still doing nothing, all the while having “no, none, not any, not one, zero, zilch, zip, nil, didly, nada, nought, insignificant,  infinitesimal, minimal, piddling, trivial, tiny, unimportant, goose egg, void, blank, no good, good-for-nothing, boring, zippo, nonexistent, valueless, insipid, monotonous, unimaginative, uninspired, uninspiring, characterless, flat, uninteresting, lackluster, dull, drab, boring, dry, humdrum, ho-hum, monochrome, tedious, uneventful, run-of-the-mill if at all, commonplace, pedestrian, trite, tired, hackneyed, stale, lame wishy-washy, colorless, anemic, lifeless”  democrat policies, none of which are designed to help us be free, safe, and prosperous.
  3. So, BARREL, you got carried away with your synonyms for the word nothing.
  4. Not really, PORK. The truth will out. We have told the democrats and say the same thing to the disaffected republicans how to win elections but only a couple have listened.
  5. Remind me, BARREL.
  6. They need to stop the POTUS TRUMP bashing completely and take on the true role as statesmen and stateswomen with only our interests at heart. They need to keep their “positive” campaign promises. All this talk about impeachment, all this foolish talk by Maxine Waters, all this beyond the pale talk about POTUS TRUMP not being true to us and the nation, all this collusion talk is garbage. They need to work with POTUS TRUMP. They need to prepare and live by a set of positive policies and programs that keep us and our unborn FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS, nothing more, nothing less.

80% to 90% IS POTUS TRUMP’S APPROVAL RATING. BARREL & PORK.

POTUS TRUMP APPROVAL RATING IS 80 TO 90%.

DO NOTHING DEMOCRATS SCHUMER, PELOSI, AND OTHERS, INCLUDING SOME DISAFFECTED REPUBLICANS, CONTINUE THEIR DOWNWARD SPIRAL INTO OBLIVION WHILE POTUS TRUMP CONTINUES TO DELIVER ON HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISES.

POTUS TRUMP APPROVAL RATING IS 80 to 90%.

  1. BARREL, I read the Rasmussen poll and other polls and according to those polls the POTUS TRUMP APPROVAL RATING hovers around a low of 44% and high of 55%, what do you think?
  2. PORK, I’ll say it again. I’m an old advertising guy and those polls don’t make sense. Look at the immense attendance POTUS Trump gets at his rallies state by state while Hillary gets a few attendees. The left news has to gerrymander the camera angles to make it look like Hillary has a following. Pan a POTUS Trump rally with your TV camera and the building is packed to the rafters. My take still is that POTUS TRUMP’S APPROVAL RATING IS 80 TO 90%.
  3. Ok, BARREL, but what about the melt down of the left and some Republicans over POTUS TRUMP’s meeting with President Putin in Helsinki?
  4. PORK, what about it. What else is new? Once again POTUS TRUMP has played every media outlet in the world covering him. He got multi-millions if not billions of dollars in free TV time, all focused on him, all to the exclusion of any other candidate or world leader or famous person.
  5. BARREL, you are right. He is the most watched personality on the planet. And when FLOTUS MELANIA TRUMP or IVANKA TRUMP walk in, all the men stop dead in their tracks and all the women envy and lament that they are not as good looking. With Melania and Ivanka at his side, his approval rating is probably closer to 90 to 95%.
  6. PORK, I think 80 to 90% is more accurate. There is a contingent on the left that wishes he would go away. Think of it though, he prevented a nuclear meltdown in North Korea saving several hundred million lives. Now he is preventing a world melt down that impacts billions.
  7. Ok, BARREL, but what about President PUTIN’s saber rattling, showing off his long range missile and other ordinance?
  8. PORK, he is making the point that it is a good thing POTUS TRUMP and he made the effort to travel to Helsinki. A major benefit is discussion of nuclear disarmament. How can anyone in America with a lick of sense not be grateful to POTUS TRUMP. and the democrat idea of a war with Russia is unthinkable.

Meanwhile the Democrats chew their knuckles and continue to do nothing.

  1. POTUS TRUMP, as he promised, flew to Helsinki for the meeting and  press conference with Russian President Putin and now says POTUS TRUMP is going to have another meeting. He has invited President Putin to Washington DC.
  2. Do nothing democrats are nuts with Trump Derangement Syndrome because POTUS TRUMP met with President Putin and will meet with him again. Negative democrats believe the continuing cold war is inevitable.

 

  1. POTUS TRUMP gets along very well with President Putin and reaffirms there was no collusion between him and the Russians and that the Russians have nothing on him and results are that the U.S. and Russia now have a good relationship.
  2. Do nothing democrats are nuts with Trump Derangement Syndrome because they are haters and want a boxing match and a confession from President Putin that he and the Russian state controlled POTUS Trump.
  1. POTUS TRUMP seriously discussed nuclear disarmament with President Putin as the two countries control 90% of the world’s nuclear ordinance.
  2. Do nothing democrats are nuts and want to go to war with Russia.
  1. POTUS TRUMP suggested others besides Russia were meddling in the U.S. election. [Like Brennan, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Comey, DNC, Podestas, Hillary and Bill, Soros, etc., etc.]
  2. Do nothing democrats are nuts with Trump Derangement Syndrome because POTUS Trump and President Putin called them out for laundering 400 million dollars [Looks like at least 484 million; Including paying Russians a million dollars for a fake dossier; and for pushing flawed FISA warrants; and for selling out a quarter to half of America’s uranium to the Russians; and for fake news pushing “the Russians colluded with POTUS Trump to make Hillary lose the election” narrative.] and because they say POTUS Trump didn’t support the U.S. intelligence community.
  1. POTUS TRUMP reviewed the Helsinki press conference transcript, and spoke to the nation, clarifying, and reaffirming his faith in Director Dan Coats and the nation’s intelligence community, again garnering multi-millions of dollars in free air time; meanwhile, the White House has prepared a list of all of the many ways POTUS TRUMP has been supporting the USA as against Russia and other adversarial nations.
  2. Do nothing democrats went and still are nuts with Trump Derangement Syndrome, continuing to beat POTUS Trump up, with Chuck Schumer “shouting” “too little too late,” not doing his homework to read the fact that Rod Rosenstein said no American participated and no Russian was guilty until such was proven in a court of law, and not getting it that the 12 charged could not be extradited for a trial anyway.
  1. POTUS TRUMP discussed NATO with President Putin, having earlier had a brilliant meeting with NATO allies, garnering billions of dollars more for NATO from allies who have been dillitory in making their NATO payments, and this to strengthen NATO.
  2. Do nothing democrats are still nuts with Trump Derangement Syndrome, stirring up the fake news media, and casting verbal foolishness about NATO and POTUS TRUMP who is VIGOROUSLY defending the nation on its borders and abroad.
  1. POTUS TRUMP acknowledged Russia’s help with North Korea and tweets, “where relationships with us are very good and the process is moving along. There is no rush, the sanctions remain! Big benefits and exciting future for North Korea at end of process!”
  2. Do nothing democrats went and still are nuts with Trump Derangement Syndrome, wringing their hands, and lamenting the fact that POTUS TRUMP has saved millions of people from nuclear holocaust.
  1. POTUS TRUMP says this Russia reset with President Putin will be an even greater success with many positive things to come. [Discussed working together to eliminate terrorism, working together to eliminate Syrian conflict and provide humanitarian aid, coupled with talks of reducing nuclear armaments.]
  2. Do nothing democrats went and still are nuts with Trump Derangement Syndrome, accusing both POTUS TRUMP and President Putin, while still having no democrat policies that help us be free, safe, and prosperous.

CHUCK SCHUMER AND NANCY PELOSI AND THE DEMOCRATS AND DISAFFECTED REPUBLICANS HAVE NO COMMON SENSE. THROW THEM OUT OF OFFICE!  END THE 60 VOTES SENATE RULE AND GO TO A COMMON SENSE 51 VOTES AND PASS A LONG-TERM BUDGET AND FUND THE GOVERNMENT NOW!

CHUCK SCHUMER AND NANCY PELOSI AND THE DEMOCRATS HAVE NO COMMON SENSE. THROW THEM OUT OF OFFICE!

END THE 60 VOTES SENATE RULE AND GO TO A COMMON SENSE 51 VOTES AND PASS A LONG-TERM BUDGET AND FUND THE GOVERNMENT!

While you are at it, give us a list of the Democrat and Disaffected Republican Senators who shut down the government and thereby trashed our Military, cut funding for 8 million children, and allowed illegal immigrants to pour into our nation unchecked by refusing to vote for the continuing resolution to keep the government open.

Democrats have chosen amnesty for illegal immigrants over paying wages to our citizen Military and helping 8 million children and stemming the tide of illegal immigrants crossing our borders.

No more calling for the “nuclear option.” That phrase is inane and meaningless. Call it what it is. Call it the COMMON SENSE OPTION.
