Cuban American Republican Loser in FL-27 Maria Salazar to Sean Hannity: "We are more American than you are"

About 245,000 votes were cast in the 2018 contest lost by Salazar. It was a supposedly safe Republican seat, but about 43,000 fewer votes were cast than in 2016. There seems to have been a distinct lack of enthusiasm all around. Neither Salazar nor the winner Shalala got anywhere near the votes the retiring incumbent received in 2016. The 73% Hispanic district ended up picking a 77 year old Lebanese dwarf instead of one of their own. Must've been something really wrong with Salazar. I wonder what it could have been.

Salazar made the remark on Friday's Sean Hannity Radio Program.

Comey's stonewalling the institutions just shows that the institutions are already finished: one side disrepects them

Open rebellion is sure to follow, and then a tyrant to quell the violence with maximum violence. It's just a question of when. Democracy doesn't die in darkness, as The Washington Post claims. It dies in the broad light of day for everyone to see, as they gather round and take pictures of it with their iPhones. 

Rep. Jim Jordan: Comey Said 245 Times "Don't Remember, Don't Recall, Don't Know"

He's the same as Hillary and the other Democrat liars to Congress, going back at least to Eric Holder.

Pat Buchanan blames Clinton, Bush 43 and Obama for squandering away the world Bush 41 gave us

Jawohl, the Baby Boom presidents, except Pat won't yet admit that Trump is simply Squanderbucks IV.

Who Lost the World Bush 41 Left Behind?:

Was it not the three presidents who sat so uncomfortably beside President Donald Trump at the state funeral of 41?

Bill McGurn is right: Impeachment is about whatever the House says it's about, because it's political, not criminal

McGurn: Trump's Problem Is "Impeachment Is Whatever The House Says It Is"

 

One more time, Democrat General Michael Flynn is not a criminal but a victim of an Obama political hit job

Why Michael Flynn Was Set Up:

What was Flynn's real sin?

As the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) from July 2012 until he was forced out in August 2014, he clashed mightily with the Obama administration's policies on ISIS and the Iran nuclear deal, among other things. As a result, the decorated general put himself "on the wrong side of history" and at odds with the Obama-friendly deep state.

The outspoken general continued to rock the boat after he left the administration.

For instance, in November 2015 during an appearance on Fox News, Flynn called for an investigation into the ISIS intel-skewing scandal, recommending that it "start right at the top."

"Where intelligence starts and stops is at the White House," Flynn said. "The president sets the priorities and he's the number one customer. So if he's not getting the intelligence that he needs and he's not paying attention to what else is going on, then something else is going wrong between him and the advisers that he has."

Obama already despised Flynn. But his hate likely turned to fear when his former DIA decided to throw his support behind Donald J. Trump, another boat-rocker who had a real chance of winning.

As Sheld noted, Obama made a point after the 2016 election of advising Trump not to hire Flynn. But Trump didn't listen.

Next thing Flynn knew, government spies were listening in on his innocuous phone conversations with Kislyak, his name was unmasked by someone in the Obama administration, and the contents of the call were leaked to the Washington Post (which remains the only serious crime to have emerged in the Russia investigation). ...

On January 12, 2017, a "high-ranking" Obama official leaked Flynn's intercept to David Ignatius at the Washington Post, which is a felony.

The achievements of his excellency Squanderbucks IV

FL-27 Republican loser Maria Elvira Salazar's arrogance was front and center immediately after her primary win in August

Today on Hannity's show this loser told Hannity that Hispanic people like her "make better Americans than you".

Her defeat has done nothing to put any humility in her.

Salazar beats Barreiro in GOP primary in Florida’s 27th congressional district:

“I don’t think it’s going to be hard [to win in November]. Ileana won by 10 points and she’s very much loved,” Salazar said. “It’s going to be a seamless transition between Ileana and myself.”

At an election night watch party in Westchester, Salazar was joined by Ros-Lehtinen, former U.S. Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart and the parents of U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo, who won the primary Tuesday night in Florida’s 26th Congressional District.

That fool Sean Hannity had arrogant, horrible candidate Maria Salazar on his radio program today, let her say she lost by 2 points when she lost by 6

Only QAnon knows for sure

I hate it when President Trump talks about himself all the time

Republican Valadao concedes in CA-21

Valadao concedes in California congressional race:

Valadao called Cox to concede Thursday and released a statement, saying “representing the Central Valley in Congress has been the honor of a lifetime.” ...

Valadao was almost 5,000 votes ahead of Cox on election night, but late returns caught up with the three-term congressman – as they did for six of his fellow California Republicans. With the certification of elections in Fresno, Kings, Tulare and Kern counties this week, the final margin appears to be 862 votes – less than one percentage point – in Cox’s favor. 

Cox marks the Democrats’ 40th congressional seat picked up in the 2018 election.

Don't piss down my back Brainard and tell me this is full employment, beyond full employment, or pearly shells

I love Pearly Shells.

Fed's Brainard: US economy at or beyond full employment

Twelve years ago 63.4% of the population had a job. In November 2018 it's just 60.6%. We could easily have 164 million employed. Instead we've got only 156.8 million, 7.2 million fewer adjusted for population.

At the rate we're going it'll be the year 2025 before we're back to 63%.

Brainard knows NOTHING!

The country's a triangle apparently, and has a north coast: Nancy Pelosi oddly omits the east coast in border security statement

And you thought that 57 states thingy and hundreds of millions of Americans enrolling in Obamacare was just Obama.

Democrats evidently have spatial relations thinking impairment.

Pelosi: Democrats Are Not Going To Fund Trump's "Immoral" Border Wall:

We have a responsibility, all of us, to secure our borders, north, south, and coming in by plane, on our coasts -- three coasts, north, south and west. And that -- that's a responsibility we honor, but we do so by honoring our values, as well.

Tucker Carlson tells it like it is on our one term president, unhappily concludes socialism is the future

Tucker Carlson says Trump is ‘not capable’ and hasn’t kept his promises:

Though often a measured Trump supporter, Tuesday’s interview was not Carlson’s first verbal-lashing of the president; he called Trump’s attacks on then-attorney general Jeff Sessions, following his recusal from the Russia investigation, a “useless, self-destructive act.” ...

“His chief promises were that he would build the wall, defund Planned Parenthood and repeal Obamacare, and he hasn’t done any of those things,” Carlson said, adding that those goals were probably lost causes. Trump, he said, doesn’t understand the system, and his own agencies don’t support him.

“He knows very little about the legislative process, hasn’t learned anything, hasn’t surrounded himself with people that can get it done, hasn’t done all the things you need to do, so it’s mostly his fault that he hasn’t achieved those things,” he added. ...

He has come to believe that Trump’s role is not as a conventional president who promises to achieve certain things and then does. Instead, it’s to “begin the conversation about what actually matters.” ...

[H]e called Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and her socialist group “the future.” He also criticized the Republican Party, suggesting that it “will die” if it doesn’t begin to fairly represent middle-class American voters.

Striking a blow for white nationalism on its way out the door, The Weekly Standard informs us Cory Booker is a lot more injun than Elizabeth Warren

See Cory Run:

The country’s racial history is an ever-present issue for Booker, one of only three African American senators, but he wants to see his complicated heritage as a source of communion rather than anger. Some of his ancestors were slaves but several were slave owners—and one was a Confederate soldier. A DNA test revealed that he’s 47 percent African, 45 percent European, and 7 percent Native American (which is about 70 times more Native American than Elizabeth Warren).

One term president is down to $5 billion for part of a wall: Lame Duck Republicans kick shutdown can from tomorrow to Dec. 21

House passes bill to delay government shutdown and border wall fight for two weeks:

It would give lawmakers more time to hash out an agreement on spending and President Donald Trump’s demand for $5 billion to fund his proposed border wall.

Congress has approved spending bills for five government agencies, such as the Departments of Defense and Health and Human Services. It has to fund seven more, including the Department of Homeland Security, which has emerged as the biggest sticking point as Congress tries to avoid letting funding for those agencies lapse.

Selective prosecution by DOJ undermines faith in the justice system, divides the country and threatens the peace

Jason Chaffetz: Why is Michael Cohen prosecuted when Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder and Lois Lerner were not?:

With a Republican president in place and soon-to-be Democrat-run House, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has conveniently remembered that they have the ability to prosecute people who lie to Congress.  This was a power they had inexplicably forgotten about during the 10 years that Democrats were benefiting from witnesses who lied.
