Donald J. Trump won the White House in part — and likely in large part — because he told voters he wanted to stop business as usual and defeat the “insiders” in Washington D.C. His popular phrase to describe this was to “drain the swamp.” But one has to ask, does Trump understand that his small government agenda will be opposed by Republicans almost as much as it will be opposed by the left-wing, socialist-inspired Democrat Party?
We are already seeing signs that the GOP won’t be a worthy partner for the headstrong agenda Trump has promised voters he intends to pursue.
Even on day one the GOP showed it was a spineless mass of useless jellyfish when it announced plans to “gut the ethics office” — as the media put it. But despite the big announcement, party leaders quickly reversed course only about an hour or so later. In other words, they crumpled like a cheap suit and it only took about a hour to do it.
I am not going to talk about whether or not the plan to alter the ethics office was a good one or a bad one, but the way the whole policy shift was handled rather proves how feckless the GOP leadership really is.

Does Trump Know ‘Draining the Swamp’ Will Be Opposed by Republicans Right Along With Democrats?”
An African American Georgetown University professor thinks that in the face of a lack of government policies each white person in America should start a personal bank account from which they can individually pay blacks reparations for slavery.
On January 4 a white teenager with special needs was found wandering aimlessly in a black Chicago neighborhood and when police found him he had a frightening tale of race-based torture to tell. But before he was rescued Facebook users were treated to videos of four black kids hooting and laughing as they beat the teen bloody while yelling “F white people” and “F Trump.” Unsurprisingly, because it is a white person being tortured, liberals from coast to coast are insisting this isn’t a racist hate crime.
As his presidency winds down, we are told that Barack Obama will deliver a farewell address*just like* President George Washington. Well, I know about George Washington. And YOU, Barack Obama, are no George Washington.
After rolling in the mud for nearly two months desperately trying to find some reason, any reason… you know, other than facts… for their November 8 loss, Barack Obama, the Democrat Party, and their handmaidens in the Old Media complex have finally found their perfect scape goat: It wuz the Russians wut dun it.
A recent USA Today article assessing former Red Sox great Curt Schilling’s chances to win a berth in the Baseball Hall of Fame concludes that his conservative political ideas will prevent him from being afforded that honor.
Since November 9, the day Donald J. Trump became the President-Elect of the United States, the media has erupted in reports of “hate crimes” against a large swath of liberal focus groups, especially Muslims. However, despite early reports, it also turns out that nearly every single one of those reports turned out to be a hoax. So, here are the top thirty fake hate crimes since Election Day.
Liberals like to pretend they represent the “grown up,” more “tolerant,” and more “intelligent” side of the political divide in the U.S.A. and no where is this assumption more prominent than on the campuses of our fetid institutes of higher learning. But these days it seems that teaching hate is just as prevalent in our universities as it is on the battlefields where ISIS reigns.
As the weeks between Election Day and Inauguration day tick down, the hate-filled, distempered, downright mentally deranged reaction of liberals of all stripes to the coming Trump era is jarring to say the least. So much for the more caring, more adult, smarter, and more serious liberals we were told were going to rule the country in 2008 when Obama first won the White House.
As the western world prepares for Christmas Day, a celebration of love, a time for family, and the hope of world peace, Muslims are gathering to celebrate the sort of carnage and death they happily promulgate during every other day of the year. Christmas 2016 is no different as terror attacks blanket the world like a freshly fallen blanket of snow.
You may recall the venom spat by people such as former sports reporter turned liberal ranter Keith Olbermann when people said they’d never call Barack Obama “their” president? Well, now that Donald J. Trump has clinched the Electoral College vote, Olbermann himself is doing exactly what his ilk once criticized by acidly demanding that fans refuse to ever call Trump “Mr. President.”
Today, December 19, is the day the electors meet to cast their Electoral College votes to actually certify who will become the next president of the United States and if the anti-American left has its way enough of these electors will defy their duty and vote for anyone other than the actual winner, Donald J. Trump. Even if this last second effort doesn’t beat Trump, the whole campaign is thoroughly anti-American and can’t end well.
President-Elect Donald Trump has been giving the left fits over his choices — and even his rumored picks — for his nascent administration and cabinet. But so far the left has lost its lunch the most over the choice of Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson for Secretary of State.
Kwanzaa, the purported “African” holiday celebrated only in the United States, is the ultimate politically correct holiday. It is little observed, even by our own African American community, of course, but those that do celebrate it are wholly unaware that this faux holiday was created in 1965 by a man with a very troubled past. For Kwanzaa’s creator, Maulana Karenga, has a violent, racist criminal record, and is even a rapist who was convicted of torturing his victims.
A group of hateful lefties who are hiding behind anonymous Twitter names have organized a boycott of advertisers whose ads have been appearing regularly on Breitbart News. Unfortunately, the boycott is working causing at least 47 of these companies to flee the conservative powerhouse.
Jon Stewart, former host of the left-wing Comedy Network cable TV show, “The Daily Show,” had a LOT to say during a recent interview with New York Times editor Chris Smith and with his uppercut smacks to the left in general and Barack Obama in particular, some of what he said is sure to infuriate his fellow leftists. But in fact, Stewart was right on with many of his criticisms.
At long last Fidel Castro became a good communist, dying at age 90 late on Friday, November 25. But with his death liberals everywhere revealed how much they love murderers as they mourned the loss of a man who liquidated at least hundreds of thousands if not over a million of his own people.
The leftist media’s newest dead horse to flog is the so-called “Alt-Right” and its “connection” to President Elect Donald Trump. So, as a conservative, should you be worried about all this? Is it something you need to denounce? Is it a growing worry for your side? The answer to all that is a decided “no” and always remember the media are liars and hypocrites in the first place.
This November the city of Chicago racked up its 700th murder with well over 600 of them killed by gunfire. And yet, Chicago’s Mayor, former Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, held a big press conference to insist that his city will remain a law-breaking “sanctuary city” and that illegals will be “safe” there.
The rumor mill is 
Now that Donald Trump has been elected to the White House, you can be sure that the media will suddenly realize that homelessness is rampant, unemployment is a major problem, the economy is bad, and America is evil again. And to prove the contention, the media is already talking about how there has been a “massive rise” in “hate crimes” against Muslims. And it’s all Trump’s fault. But don’t believe these lies.
For a week, now, since the election of Donald J. Trump as the 45th president of the United States, liberals under 30 years of age who grew up earning “participation trophies” for everything they did have been rioting in some of the nation’s largest cities in order to thwart the more than 200 year American tradition of the peaceful transfer of power from one political party to another. But this nation wide temper tantrum isn’t an example of the left “losing its mind.” It is actually revealing the authoritarian, violent, and hate-filled mind the left has inculcated in our youth.
As common, everyday liberals take to the streets to beat up those they disagree with, blockade streets, and destroy other people’s property because, you know, they are all so into “peaceful democracy,” their instigators in the left-wing media and entertainment biz are egging them on with one meltdown after another all because Donald J. Trump won the election for president.
The 2016 election is finally over and GOP nominee Donald J. Trump pulled an amazing win out of the neatly wrapped up Clinton win as arranged by the pundits and the pollsters — and even some in the GOP establishment and “conservative” intelligentsia. And now the #NeverTrumprs and establishment Republicans are braying that we all now need to “work together” to move the nation forward. But don’t be fooled into canceling the coming Republican Civil War. Don’t capitulate to the very people who were pulling for Hillary. This war NEEDS to be fought.
