Broward County Ballot Shenanigans: Mystery Truck Deliveries, Slow Counting And More


Trying to steal the election right in front of our eyes.

Via Fox News:

Lawyers are descending on Florida as the state braces once again to become ground zero in a national election fight, and the epicenter appears to be Broward County where late-arriving ballots in Democratic strongholds are fueling accusations of political shenanigans.

Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio has highlighted a range of possible problems in the county—including a suspected mystery truck delivery of ballots—and has criticized local officials for their molasses-like process of counting ballots in the Senate race between Republican Rick Scott and incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson.

Scott, Florida’s outgoing Republican governor, warned of possibly “rampant fraud,” and filed lawsuits late Thursday against the top election officials in two heavily Democratic counties as they continue to report new votes.

“Under #Florida law, county must upload by 7 p.m. day BEFORE election ALL early votes canvassed & tabulated by end of early voting & report results within 30 minutes of polls close. 60 hours after that deadline only 1 of 67 counties is still counting early votes, #BrowardCounty,” Rubio tweeted Friday morning.

SNIPES SNAPS! Broward County Election Supervisor Brenda Snipes Snaps at Reporter For Asking About Outstanding Ballots (VIDEO)


SNIPES SNAPS! Broward County Election Supervisor Brenda Snipes Snaps at Reporter For Asking About Outstanding Ballots (VIDEO)

All eyes are on Broward County as Election Supervisor Brenda Snipes continues to produce thousands of votes for Democrats while refusing to disclose how many ballots her county has left to tabulate.

Brenda Snipes has a history of violating the law and she continues to be defiant because no one is throwing her in prison.

Reporters descended on Brenda Snipes’ office late Thursday evening to confront her.

Snipes arrogantly obfuscated questions by reporters then snapped at them before walking away.

“Dr. Snipes, it is now Thursday. We are still counting ballots in Broward County,” said the reporter.

Snipes pushed back by saying she has a lot of people in her county so the reporter pressed her and said, “But other counties have been able to do it.”

“But other counties didn’t have 600,000 votes,” Snipes retorted.

“Miami Dade did,” the reporter shot back.

At this point, Brenda Snipes became very testy and snapped at the reporter.

Brenda Snipes then walked away as the reporter continued to point out that there’s always an issue with Broward County specifically.

Outrageous Clip: Cuomo Openly Mocks Those Offering Thoughts and Prayers to Victims of Shooting


Chris Cuomo’s nightly sanctimony on CNN usually produces only eye rolls. In the face of national tragedy, however, it produces outrage.

Cuomo, for those of you who haven’t been watching his show, lectures to America about Very Serious Topics in a wooden yell, informing us all that there’s his side and the wrong side. And oh boy, you don’t want to be on the wrong side. History will judge you, my friend — if those searing of eyes of Chris Cuomo aren’t judgment enough.

This is insufferable enough on most weeknights, but Thursday wasn’t any weeknight. It was the night after 12 people, including a sheriff’s sergeant, were killed in a mass shooting at a bar in Thousand Oaks, California by a former Marine who had a previous run-in with law enforcement over mental health concerns.

It was a night to be serious and somber. And to Chris Cuomo, that meant implying conservatives wouldn’t do anything but offer thoughts and prayers if a deranged madman killed children and puppies in a stadium. That’s not a joke, because that’s the world that we live in.

TRENDING: Watch: Ignorant Joy Behar Doesn’t Know How Senate Elections Work, Humiliates Self on Nat’l TV

Cuomo began this abominable rant by lamenting there isn’t a “consensus” on gun control — which means, presumably, we haven’t reached a consensus opinion on exactly what Chris Cuomo thinks should happen to our Second Amendment rights.

“The only consensus there is is in a canard, and here it is,” Cuomo said. “First, I would like to offer my thoughts and prayers. Because that’s what you do when you offer thoughts and prayers. You mock those who lost loved ones. Because if you gave it any thought at all, you would never walk away from any of these without figuring out a better way to deal with them.”

“And prayer. You think leaving it to God is the answer?” Cuomo continued.

Do you think that Chris Cuomo was out of line with these comments?

“We pray for strength, we pray for wisdom, for resolve, but we clearly don’t want to act on any of those here. So what are you praying for? What would it take?”

And that’s when Cuomo made a case as to why he should not be in the employ of CNN — or any network, really.

“How about a stadium full of children of the most influential people in our society all holding puppies?” Cuomo said. “What if they were all shot and killed? Would we act? Oh, don’t be ridiculous to suggest something — is it? Is it ridiculous? More ridiculous than doing nothing? Time after time after time? Listening to these people pouring out their pain, crying along with them, saying you care. You know the answer to the only question that matters. We can do better. And we all have to live with doing nothing. And the next time is coming, and more and more, you, me, our leaders, we’re all becoming part of the problem. Think and pray on that.”

Is there a word to express a concept beyond demagogy? Is there a word to convey a concept that employs deliberate oversimplification, po-faced empurplement of prose, blatant disregard of facts, mockery and denigration of faith, poisoning of political discourse and actual, deliberate evil in one word? Can we call it Cuomoism? Is one rant this depraved and iniquitous too early to make him the face of this concept?

Beyond the idea that “thoughts and prayers” can’t do anything, we must confront that it’s used as a straw man in situations like this — that conservatives only offer thoughts and prayers and no solutions. But the problem is that solutions require compromise. They require respect for the Second Amendment. Solutions require demonization to cease, to stop fear-mongering using focus-grouped neologisms like “assault weapons” and “weapons of war.” (Neither of these, it must be noted, were used in the Thousand Oaks shooting — but you’ll probably hear them invoked anyway.) Solutions require, most of all, realizing that we can most effectively deal with the person who fires then gun than we can with the gun — and that change must necessarily be cultural and societal.

RELATED: ‘Racist Pig’: CNN’s Navarro Resorts to Yelling, Name-Calling in Bizarre Political Rant

Liberals have shown no inclination to any solution that involves any of this, so no solutions are forthcoming. That’s why you’re going to hear a lot of “your thoughts and prayers are meaningless, you heartless pigs!” But that’s all we can offer in a gun debate where our side is expected to sit down, shut up, listen and do whatever these good liberals say. This is the vaunted path to solutions that Cuomo proposes and then condemns conservatives for failing to adhere to this.

We’re used to this, however. We’re used to impasse, we’re used to mockery of faith — especially Christianity — and we’re used to the same tired solutions being trotted out, even in a state where those same tired solutions are the law of the land and have been for years. But oh no, let’s please insinuate this will eventually somehow lead to a hypothetical situation where “a stadium full of children of the most influential people in our society all holding puppies” are killed because we didn’t listen to opponents of the Second Amendment.

But this is the problem when we want to listen only to “these people pouring out their pain” and pundits willing to use them to advance their own agenda like Chris Cuomo. We pretend they have solutions because they’ve experienced immense tragedy. It’s impolitic, but imperative, to point out that the numbers suggest a different reality than what we see on CNN. More guns means less crime. Gun-free zones are the most dangerous places to be when it comes to mass shootings. Restrictive gun laws haven’t been shown to make a dent in gun violence. And criminals exist to find ways around society’s laws.

Our thoughts and prayers ought to be with the victims because nothing will change — because the other side refuses to acknowledge facts. Our thoughts and prayers ought to be with men like Chris Cuomo, too. Anyone who comes up with a hypothetical situation involving the mass murder of children and puppies to make a point is in desperate need of perspective and a lot of other things.

New ‘Anti-Semitic’ Dem. Rep. Supports Terrorist Org, Wants Israel Wiped from Map


In the aftermath of the horrific mass shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh last month, the political left jumped on a soapbox to decry a rise in anti-Semitic violence that they attributed to the rhetoric of President Donald Trump.

However, the proclaimed compassion and empathy for Jews targeted and persecuted by those who hate them was quite short-lived and rather shallow. It was quickly pushed to the side when it gained little traction. Not only that, but a continued focus on anti-Semitism may very well have had negative consequences for a few Democratic candidates in the midterm elections.

One of those candidates was Rashida Tlaib, a Palestinian-American who was just elected to Congress to represent Michigan’s 13th District, which includes parts of Detroit and some of the surrounding suburbs. Tlaib’s victory was heralded by the liberal media as a historic moment, as she is one of the two first Muslim-American women to be elected to Congress.

In the following video documenting part of her celebration after learning of her victory, Tlaib was seen draped in a Palestinian flag and played up her Palestinian roots in her remarks. Note that, despite the election occurring in Detroit, Michigan, USA, there is not a single American flag to be seen.

TRENDING: Watch: Trump Critic Tears Acosta a New One for Getting Physical With WH Intern

The Washington Examiner published an opinion piece Wednesday that despaired at the election of Tlaib, as she was deemed to be as “anti-Semitic” as neo-Nazis and white supremacists due to her open and stated hostility toward the nation of Israel and the Jewish people who populate it.

That piece noted that Tlaib is on record as supporting a “one-state solution” in the Middle East to solve the Israeli-Palestinian problem, a solution that would deny the Jewish people their sovereign right to their own nation.

Further, the Examiner noted that Tlaib has surrounded herself with openly anti-Semitic individuals, such as headlining a rally calling for the “Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions” against Israel in 2014 with a man named Dawud Walid, who has blamed “the Jews” as being responsible for the “wrath of Allah” that they have brought on themselves.

Should blatant anti-Semitism like this disqualify candidates from Congressional service?

Tlaib is also known to be in the same circles as prominent anti-Semite and leftist Woman’s March organizer Linda Sarsour, and has expressed her admiration for a Palestinian woman named Rasmea Odeh who was convicted of a murderous terrorist act.

The Jewish media outlet The Algemeiner dug a little deeper on Tlaib and her “anti-Israel agenda” during the Democratic primary in Michigan in August, and brought to the fore some rather concerning details about her.

That Palestinian woman that Tlaib so admires, Rasmea Odeh, was convicted of murdering two American students in Jerusalem in 1969 in a terrorist bomb attack at a grocery store. She had been sentenced to life in prison in Israel, but had been released in a prisoner exchange after only 10 years. She then migrated to America, only to later be convicted of immigration fraud in 2014 and eventually deported.

RELATED: Reporter Pays for Accidental Profane Voicemail She Left Republican — Just Ask Her Ex-Employer

Furthermore, Tlaib has also made public her support for Islamic Relief, a group with links to the Muslim Brotherhood that was officially listed as a terrorist organization in 2014 by the government of the United Arab Emirates.

She has also issued sharp criticism toward fellow Democrats — such as California Sen. Kamala Harris — for having the audacity to reach out in cooperation with Israel on a number of issues, even accusing Harris of being “racist” for having met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Tlaib also expressed support for a young Palestinian girl that was temporarily detained earlier in the year for violently assaulting an Israeli soldier. One of her most prominent supporters and fundraisers has called for the virtual extinction of the Israeli state — to be replaced solely by Palestine — and has stated her intention to break with American norms and wear “traditional Palestinian dress” while serving in office after she takes her oath on a Quran.

If Tlaib were merely a progressive leftist in the mold of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders or New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — which she most certainly is — that would be bad enough for the state of Michigan and the nation as a whole.

The fact that she has also expressed anti-Semitic sentiments and pals around with open anti-Semites that wish for the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people only make it that much worse.

WATCH: Leftist Protester at American University Has Meltdown over Dinesh D’Souza Lecture


A leftist protester at American University was filmed screaming at a conservative who was hosting conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza on campus. D’Souza commented on the protester during his speech, saying, “And he goes, ‘You don’t know what it means to be a person of color.’ And I thought, well if there is one thing I do know, it’s that.”

A leftist protester was caught on film screaming at a conservative student activist this week. The meltdown came in response to a scheduled lecture from conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza at American University in Washington D.C.

“You should crawl back into your mother’s rancid womb, gestate for a few more hours, slide back out, and then learn something about not being an entitled, white piece of shit,” the protester screamed.

“Because motherfuckers like you come here and you have no idea what it’s like to be gay, to be a person of color, to know what it’s like to live with institutional racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia,” he said, to an inaudible response from the student.

The protester then blamed conservative speech for mass shootings around the country. “I don’t believe people should be promoting hate speech that leads to mass shootings by angry, white, Brock Turner motherfuckers like you,” he shouts.

“If I were your father, I’d kill myself,” the protester said before the video cuts off.

In the lecture, D’Souza addressed the protester, specifically the portion where the protester argued that the student had no idea what it is like to be a person of color. “I just saw, on social media, a video of a protester screaming about my presence here tonight, a white guy. And he goes, ‘You don’t know what it means to be a person of color.’ And I thought, well if there is one thing I do know, it’s that.”

You can watch D’Souza’s lecture below.

Donald Trump Posts Proclamation Barring Illegal Migrants from Full Asylum


President Donald Trump has issued his formal proclamation barring economic migrants who try to sneak across the U.S. border from being allowed to apply for full asylum.

The announcement is intended to help block the impending caravan of Honduran migrants, and it says:

“The entry of any alien into the United States across the international boundary between the United States and Mexico is hereby suspended and limited … this proclamation shall not apply to any alien who enters the United States at a port of entry and properly presents for inspection, or to any lawful permanent resident of the United States.

The proclamation policy is being paired with new rules which say that the growing number migrants caught crossing the border will be only allowed to file for a limited amnesty, dubbed a “withholding of removal.”

This “withholding of removal” process eases deportations, it does not provide a path to green cards, and it raises the bar for migrants to win their cases. For example, illegal migrants will have to show they have a “reasonable fear” of persecution if they are refused entry, not merely an easy-to-pass “credible fear” test. In fiscal 2018, almost 400,000 migrants were caught crossing the border. 

The policy does not fix other border problems, such as the easy-asylum rules set by Congress for people who apply at the formal “ports of entry” along the border. Many of the caravan migrants — especially those bringing children — are expected to apply for full asylum at the ports of entry. 

In the preamble to the proclamation, Trump said: 

The United States has a long and proud history of offering protection to aliens who are fleeing persecution and torture and who qualify under the standards articulated in our immigration laws, including through our asylum system and the Refugee Admissions Program.  But our system is being overwhelmed by migration through our southern border.  Crossing the border to avoid detection and then, if apprehended, claiming a fear of persecution is in too many instances an avenue to near-automatic release into the interior of the United States.  Once released, such aliens are very difficult to remove.

The new proclamation-and-withholding package is part of a larger strategy which uses a series of regulatory changes to gradually shrink the border-wall loopholes which are being held open by pro-migration Democrats and business-first Republicans in Congress.

For example, officials are pushing forward with a plan to close the 2015 Flores loophole which allows economic migrants who bring children to be released into the U.S. job market after just 20 days of detection — or well before officials can complete the 40-day asylum-adjudication process. 

Trump has also said he expects to build “tent cities” on the border. The likely purpose it to prevent the release of migrants into the labor market while officials quickly process and deport economic migrants.

AG Sessions has raised the bar for passing the credible fear tests and getting a judicial approval of an asylum request.  

At the border, officials are also forcing migrants to wait in Mexico as border officials process a reasonable number of claims each day. This process, dubbed “metering,” prevents a rush of migrants from overwhelming the border process and then triggering the catch-and-release process. The metering process also keeps migrants in Mexico, so preventing them from filing lawsuits in U.S. courts to bypass border safeguards. The process also allows border stations to conduct normal procedures, such as checking visitors and trucks for potential crimes, such as drug smuggling. 

All of these policies threaten the labor-trafficking cartels because they may make migration economically unaffordable to poor migrants. In contrast, the current catch-and-release rules allow migrants to walk through the border barriers and into U.S jobs, so providing cheap labor for U.S businesses, cheap services for wealthy Americans and lucrative smuggling payments back to the cartels. 

The cartels are expected to change their labor-trafficking strategies in response t Trump’s proclamation. 

The quickest response is expected from pro-migration legal groups in the United States, such as the ACLU. For example, the caravan migrants are heading to the California border, ensuring their legal claims will be reviewed by the very pro-migration judges in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. In contrast, migrants who cross the Texas border have their claims heard by 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. 

Congress is also expected to react by minimizing Trump’s funding for border enforcement. For example, the GOP-controlled House and Senate have already rejected administration requests to fund 50,000 detention spaces for migrants. The House and Senate have also rejected requests for extra funding to hire more border guards and enforcement agents.

Business-first and pro-migration legislators may unite this December to pressure Trump into accepting a swap that gives him a no-reform border-wall in exchange for a no-strings DACA-plus amnesty. 

Also, Congress may use the lame-duck session in December to use the funding bill to sneak more loopholes into the border laws. For example, in July, Kansas Rep. Kevin Yoder added a measure to the 2019 spending plan that would indirectly enforce catch-and-release rules by barring border officials from sheltering children is different locations from detained parents. The plan is unlikely to be included in any final law, in part, because Yoder lost his election campaign. 

The proclamation includes a long preamble where Trump makes his political and legal case in support of the new rules: 

The United States expects the arrival at the border between the United States and Mexico (southern border) of a substantial number of aliens primarily from Central America who appear to have no lawful basis for admission into our country.  They are traveling in large, organized groups through Mexico and reportedly intend to enter the United States unlawfully or without proper documentation and to seek asylum, despite the fact that, based on past experience, a significant majority will not be eligible for or be granted that benefit.  Many entered Mexico unlawfully — some with violence — and have rejected opportunities to apply for asylum and benefits in Mexico.  The arrival of large numbers of aliens will contribute to the overloading of our immigration and asylum system and to the release of thousands of aliens into the interior of the United States.  The continuing and threatened mass migration of aliens with no basis for admission into the United States through our southern border has precipitated a crisis and undermines the integrity of our borders.  I therefore must take immediate action to protect the national interest, and to maintain the effectiveness of the asylum system for legitimate asylum seekers who demonstrate that they have fled persecution and warrant the many special benefits associated with asylum.

In recent weeks, an average of approximately 2,000 inadmissible aliens have entered each day at our southern border.  In Fiscal Year 2018 overall, 124,511 aliens were found inadmissible at ports of entry on the southern border, while 396,579 aliens were apprehended entering the United States unlawfully between such ports of entry.  The great number of aliens who cross unlawfully into the United States through the southern border consumes tremendous resources as the Government seeks to surveil, apprehend, screen, process, and detain them.

Aliens who enter the United States unlawfully or without proper documentation and are subject to expedited removal may avoid being promptly removed by demonstrating, during an initial screening process, a credible fear of persecution or torture.  Approximately 2 decades ago, most aliens deemed inadmissible at a port of entry or apprehended after unlawfully entering the United States through the southern border were single adults who were promptly returned to Mexico, and very few asserted a fear of return.  Since then, however, there has been a massive increase in fear-of-persecution or torture claims by aliens who enter the United States through the southern border.  The vast majority of such aliens are found to satisfy the credible-fear threshold, although only a fraction of the claimants whose claims are adjudicated ultimately qualify for asylum or other protection.  Aliens found to have a credible fear are often released into the interior of the United States, as a result of a lack of detention space and a variety of other legal and practical difficulties, pending adjudication of their claims in a full removal proceeding in immigration court.  The immigration adjudication process often takes years to complete because of the growing volume of claims and because of the need to expedite proceedings for detained aliens.  During that time, many released aliens fail to appear for hearings, do not comply with subsequent orders of removal, or are difficult to locate and remove.

Members of family units pose particular challenges.  The Federal Government lacks sufficient facilities to house families together.  Virtually all members of family units who enter the United States through the southern border, unlawfully or without proper documentation, and that are found to have a credible fear of persecution, are thus released into the United States.  Against this backdrop of near-assurance of release, the number of such aliens traveling as family units who enter through the southern border and claim a credible fear of persecution has greatly increased.  And large numbers of family units decide to make the dangerous and unlawful border crossing with their children.

The United States has a long and proud history of offering protection to aliens who are fleeing persecution and torture and who qualify under the standards articulated in our immigration laws, including through our asylum system and the Refugee Admissions Program.  But our system is being overwhelmed by migration through our southern border.  Crossing the border to avoid detection and then, if apprehended, claiming a fear of persecution is in too many instances an avenue to near-automatic release into the interior of the United States.  Once released, such aliens are very difficult to remove.  An additional influx of large groups of aliens arriving at once through the southern border would add tremendous strain to an already taxed system, especially if they avoid orderly processing by unlawfully crossing the southern border.

The entry of large numbers of aliens into the United States unlawfully between ports of entry on the southern border is contrary to the national interest, and our law has long recognized that aliens who seek to lawfully enter the United States must do so at ports of entry.  Unlawful entry puts lives of both law enforcement and aliens at risk.  By contrast, entry at ports of entry at the southern border allows for orderly processing, which enables the efficient deployment of law enforcement resources across our vast southern border.

Failing to take immediate action to stem the mass migration the United States is currently experiencing and anticipating would only encourage additional mass unlawful migration and further overwhelming of the system.

Other presidents have taken strong action to prevent mass migration.  In Proclamation 4865 of September 29, 1981 (High Seas Interdiction of Illegal Aliens), in response to an influx of Haitian nationals traveling to the United States by sea, President Reagan suspended the entry of undocumented aliens from the high seas and ordered the Coast Guard to intercept such aliens before they reached United States shores and to return them to their point of origin.  In Executive Order 12807 of May 24, 1992 (Interdiction of Illegal Aliens), in response to a dramatic increase in the unlawful mass migration of Haitian nationals to the United States, President Bush ordered additional measures to interdict such Haitian nationals and return them to their home country.  The Supreme Court upheld the legality of those measures in Sale v. Haitian Centers Council, Inc., 509 U.S. 155 (1993).

I am similarly acting to suspend, for a limited period, the entry of certain aliens in order to address the problem of large numbers of aliens traveling through Mexico to enter our country unlawfully or without proper documentation.  I am tailoring the suspension to channel these aliens to ports of entry, so that, if they enter the United States, they do so in an orderly and controlled manner instead of unlawfully.  Under this suspension, aliens entering through the southern border, even those without proper documentation, may, consistent with this proclamation, avail themselves of our asylum system, provided that they properly present themselves for inspection at a port of entry.  In anticipation of a large group of aliens arriving in the coming weeks, I am directing the Secretary of Homeland Security to commit additional resources to support our ports of entry at the southern border to assist in processing those aliens — and all others arriving at our ports of entry — as efficiently as possible.

But aliens who enter the United States unlawfully through the southern border in contravention of this proclamation will be ineligible to be granted asylum under the regulation promulgated by the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security that became effective earlier today.  Those aliens may, however, still seek other forms of protection from persecution or torture.  In addition, this limited suspension will facilitate ongoing negotiations with Mexico and other countries regarding appropriate cooperative arrangements to prevent unlawful mass migration to the United States through the southern border.  Thus, this proclamation is also necessary to manage and conduct the foreign affairs of the United States effectively.

The formal presidential announcement says: 

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185(a), respectively) hereby find that, absent the measures set forth in this proclamation, the entry into the United States of persons described in section 1 of this proclamation would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and that their entry should be subject to certain restrictions, limitations, and exceptions.

Sec2.  Scope and Implementation of Suspension and Limitation on Entry.  (a)  The suspension and limitation on entry pursuant to section 1 of this proclamation shall apply only to aliens who enter the United States after the date of this proclamation.

(b)  The suspension and limitation on entry pursuant to section 1 of this proclamation shall not apply to any alien who enters the United States at a port of entry and properly presents for inspection, or to any lawful permanent resident of the United States.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
ninth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-third.

DONALD J. TRUMP

Business groups and Democrats tout skewed polls which prod Americans to declare support for migrants and for the claim that the United States is government-expanding “Nation of [employed] Immigrants,” not a nation of self-ruling American citizens.

The alternative “priority or fairness” polls — plus the 2016 election — show that voters in the polling booth put a much higher priority on helping their families, neighbors, and fellow nationals get decent jobs in a high-tech, high-immigrationlow-wage economy.

Overall, Washington’s economic policy of using migration to boost economic growth shifts wealth from young people towards older people by flooding the market with cheap white-collar and blue-collar foreign labor. That flood of outside labor spikes profits and Wall Street values by cutting salaries for manual and skilled labor offered by blue-collar and white-collar employees.

Dennis Miller Compares Liberalism to a ‘Nude Beach:’ ‘Sounds Good Until You Get There’


Veteran comedian Dennis Miller told Jimmy Kimmel that liberalism is like a “nude beach,” because it only sounds good in theory.

“I went to vote yesterday and I won’t even–I live in a surf town, up the coast here from L.A., and they don’t even give you the sticker. You have to actually get ‘I voted’ tattooed above your pubic mound,” Dennis Miller told Kimmel.

“They’re tattooing people?” Kimmel responded, laughing.

“It’s a hell of a thing,” Miller said.

Kimmel also questioned Miller on his conservative beliefs.

“You know, I was always a big fans of yours. And people, though, today are like ‘What?’ I think people get upset because you’re conservative,” the ABC talk show host said. “Because you’re a comedian. I think it’s weird for a comedian to be conservative. Unusual, I should say. What–they say, what happened to you? What did happen to you, Dennis?”

Miller responded that he was “socially liberal,” and said, “When I look at–I was watching backstage. This is how interesting things are. When I watch Trump, he doesn’t rankle me like he rankles people on your side. There are days he’s a buffoon. There are days I can’t believe the stuff he says. But, today, when I watch that thing, I kind of laugh. I watch Pelosi and she drives me batty.”

“Interesting,” Kimmel said.

“And I know on your side, I think Pelosi’s kind of acceptable and she says stuff like that, that drives me more crazy,” Miller said.

The actor continued, “All I know is this. I’ve met so many nice people, most of my dearest friends in the world are liberals. I refuse to go through life defining who I’m going to be friends with, who I’m going to love, who I’m going to hang with, from this ‘D’ or ‘R’ after people’s names.”

“All I know, is when I look at, like I said, socially liberal–that’s when I don’t dig what the conservatives do. They always come off like the town elders from Footloose and that’s a drag to me. But you know, I look at liberals sometimes, and I think liberalism’s like a nude beach–it sounds good till you get there.”

“Then…there’s lots of cankles and misspelled tattoos,” he joked.

Miller’s most recent standup comedy special, Dennis Miller: Fake News, Real Jokes was released this week on Amazon, Apple, and Google Play.

Could Trump Get Another Supreme Court Pick? RBG Breaks Three Ribs In Spill

If you thought that the vile Pandora’s Box of filth and scum that the left opened when they threw every dirty trick and the book itself at Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

The political left and the Democrats that they take their marching orders from reached new lows when they trotted out a batty California college professor with 36-year-old and unprovable allegations that she was raped by Kavanaugh as a teen and then unleashed their hate mobs on decent society but they overreached and in their excess, lost their best hope at sinking the nomination when Susan Collins defected.

But it’s one thing when Kavanaugh replaces a wishy-washy justice like Anthony Kennedy and quite another when the feminist icon to judicial activism is looking like another vacancy in waiting.

The news that Ruth Bader Ginsburg took a nasty spill in her office and had to be taken to the hospital where she was treated for three broken ribs sucked a good deal of hot air out of the Democrats’ balloon after they scraped by with enough modest gains to take control of the House on Tuesday.

Hopes that the half-mummified octogenarian would be able to beat Father Time in order to outlast President Trump by staying on the SCOTUS bench until the spry age of 91 took a big hit with her latest mishap.

Via The Associated Press, “Justice Ginsburg in hospital after fracturing 3 ribs in fall”:

Eighty-five-year-old Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fractured three ribs in a fall in her office at the court and is in the hospital, the court said Thursday.

The court’s oldest justice fell Wednesday evening, the court said. She called Supreme Court police to take her to George Washington University Hospital in Washington early Thursday after experiencing discomfort overnight, court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said.

She was admitted to the hospital for treatment and observation after tests showed she fractured three ribs.

In her absence, the court went ahead Thursday with a courtroom ceremony welcoming new Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who joined the court last month. President Donald Trump and new acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker were on hand.

Ginsburg has had a series of health problems. She broke two ribs in a fall in 2012. She has had two prior bouts with cancer and had a stent implanted to open a blocked artery in 2014. She also was hospitalized after a bad reaction to medicine in 2009.

RBG’s fall brought a flurry of offers for organ donations from the vengeful #MeToo harpies including Alyssa Milano:

And the raunchy Lauren Duca who once bragged that she would bite the dicks off of Christian men:

Let’s face it, RBG is on borrowed time and the only way that she will be on the bench in 2025 when Trump leaves the White House is if the left drags her embalmed corpse around like a “Weekend at Bernie’s” sequel.

When she kicks the bucket, it’s going to be Armageddon.

Democrats’ playbook of dirty tricks is getting old, very old…


The Democratic playbook of dirty tricks is getting so, so, so old.


First the Blasey/Kavanaugh show, which was a redux of the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas show. Now the Florida recount, which ecrudescences, well, the 2000 Florida recount. Are Democrats so out of ideas they can’t come up with new dirty tricks?



It’s just getting amazingly predictable what they are capable of pulling.


Having lost two or three close elections in Arizona and Florida, all of a sudden, they are “finding” new ballots and attempting to change the outcome. Just like they did in Florida’s 2000 election.


In Arizona, boxes and boxes of uncounted ballots are somehow turning up, quite unlike in the rest of the country where the vote tallies get done and the state moves on, all because the losing candidate, far-left congresswoman and Code Pink activist, Kyrsten Sinema, seems to have narrowly lost to Republican congresswoman and fighter pilot Martha McSally for the vacant Senate seat. Never mind that Arizona is a generally red state and the late Sen. John McCain who vacated the seat was a moderate Republican. Never mind that McSally comes fairly close to fitting into that military/moderate template, which would presage the outcome we see. And on the other side, never mind that the candidate was bad: crazy suddenly trying to act respectable tends not to win. Sinema was a tremendously flawed candidate with a far-left past, with mistakes quite comparable to those that sank past GOP Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell, and yet somehow, she’s supposed to be the winner? Only if new ballot boxes are “discovered.”


Which suddenly, they are.


Over in Florida, it’s the same thing, only worse. In Broward County, suddenly there’s a problem counting votes. Never mind that every other county could count its votes according to specifications, Broward not only flunked, it only flunks whenever there’s a close election and a Democrat is losing. And strangely, the found ballots only go in the direction of the Democratic candidates. The person in charge of this fiasco is the same Democrat who was responsible for these other irregularities, according to ABC Local 10:


In the November 2016 general election, a small number of ballots were mailed to voters without the state’s medical marijuana referendum. Then, during the primary election months earlier, early results were posted about 30 minutes before polls closed, violating state law.


Earlier this year a circuit court judge ruled that Snipes broke federal and state law by too quickly destroying ballots from the August 2016 primaries, even though there was a pending lawsuit seeking access to the ballots.


Threw away ballots to give the election to a Democrat? Posted early results to sway the other voters? I think we already know what Snipes’s ethics are like. This is obviously a crook who doesn’t belong near a ballot counting station.


Almost as disturbing is that the lawyer leading the Senate-race recount effort (which is different from the first-count effort going on in Broward) for Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, which is actually legal under Florida law in close elections, is none other than Marc Elias, the Democrat lawyer tied to the famous “pee dossier.” According to Breitbart News:


Marc Elias, the attorney who infamously retained Fusion GPS to produce the largely discredited anti-Trump dossier on behalf of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, has been retained to represent Sen. Bill Nelson’s recount efforts in Florida.


The Florida Senate race is likely headed to a recount after late reporting from Broward County lowered Gov. Rick Scott’s lead to about 17,000 votes, meaning the election is within the .25% margin necessary to require a hand recount.  The race has already reached the 0.5 percent threshold to require a machine recount.


I think we know what his ethics are like, too.


Florida. Recount. Democrats.


The whole thing reeks of 2000, that era of Bill Clinton who summed his philosophy up as: “Well, we’ll just have to win, then” led off by the Florida recount back when Al Gore was trying to get recounts of recounts until he could get the total he wanted for president.


That was nearly 20 years ago, and Democrats are still playing the same playbook, as if Americans wouldn’t remember.


It comes just as we’ve just gotten past the Democrat sheet-show over the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, where phony allegations of sexual harassment were cooked up for a last-minute bid to sink the nomination, following Democrats’ failure to sink it on “advice and consent” alone.


That was a recrudescence of the playbook the Democrats cooked up on Anita Hill in the late 1990s over the Clarence Thomas Supreme Court nomination.


Like we wouldn’t remember that, either.


‘It’s not over until the illegal wins,’ which is another Democrat-supported production.


Bush Derangement Syndrome is now Trump Derangement Syndrome.


She Persisted.


All of these things are suggestive of a party unable to take ‘no’ for an answer, and thus, unable to adapt to democracy itself. Democrats are reacting to everything they don’t win with childish tantrums, and in each case, trying to move back the clock for a do-over.


Yet they’re using a really old playbook, not new stuff.


As a party, they are run by gerontocrats, and their beloved socialism has failed in practice, so maybe they’ve run out of ideas.


But it’s significant that they are using the same sleights of hand they used 20 years ago, and thinking we’re fools who’ll fall for it. They aren’t even coming up with new kinds of dirty tricks, they are just replaying the old ones, hoping for a different result.


This has just got to fail in the era of Trump because one can only go to the well once in politics. Democrats’ latest trick shows they think it’s an open bar.

Rick Scott: I’m ordering law enforcement to stop “unethical liberals” from stealing election


“I am considering every single legal option available,” Rick Scott announced last night, and he’s not kidding around. The Florida governor whose Senate election bid is being held up in Broward and Palm Beach counties ordered an investigation by state police into the actions of two county election officers, whom Scott accused of flagrantly violating state election laws in the conduct of their ballot counting. Scott also announced a lawsuit to force both counties into compliance while accusing officials of “rampant fraud”:

Republican Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Thursday evening filed suit and asked for an investigation into ongoing ballot counts that he accused of being a partisan attempt by “unethical liberals” to steal the state’s Senate election.

Scott, who ran against incumbent Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson, alleged that the Broward County and Palm Beach County supervisors of elections were engaging in “rampant fraud.” …

The National Republicans Senatorial Committee joined Scott on Thursday to file suit against both Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes and Palm Beach Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher. Scott alleges that the supervisors have violated federal and state laws by failing to provide information to officials.

A judge ruled in May of this year that Snipes had illegally destroyed votes during a 2016 election and Scott said at the time he would send experts to Broward for the upcoming elections, according to the Sun Sentinel.

The biggest issue is the lack of transparency on the number of ballots cast in both counties. The election officers were required to provide an overall total by Wednesday morning in order for observers to know what the final number would be. As of this morning, that still has not been accomplished, but meanwhile tens of thousands of ballots have been added to the votes since Election Night. Scott flat-out accuses Snipes and Boucher of fabricating votes, and he wants the process yanked away from them to find out exactly what’s going on.

As of this morning, the Florida Division of Elections still shows Scott with a 15,000+ lead in the Senate race. Ron DeSantis has a larger lead in the gubernatorial race of 36,000+. Both races are already in the automatic machine-recount range, and the Senate race may be in the hand-recount range. As Scott notes above, though, the gaps in both cases far exceed the kind of changes that could come in a recount. Unless Broward and Palm Beach unpack a whole boatload of new ballots, of course.

In the meantime, we can dust off a familiar nickname for Florida, and it ain’t “the Sunshine State”:

Among the lawyers popping up at the Broward Supervisor of Elections Office Thursday were William Scherer and Ben Kuehne — a pair of legal throwbacks to Florida’s fiercely disputed 2000 presidential election recount.

“The embarrassing nickname for Florida is Flori-duh because of Broward,” Scherer said, with recounts looming in major races after Tuesday’s general election. “And this is Flori-duh again.” …

Scherer said he’s filed several lawsuits against Broward Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes’ office over the years, including one involving absentee ballots and write-in candidates and another involving a candidate’s name change.

Asked why he was hanging around her office, Scherer said: “There could be opportunities for voter fraud,” Scherer said. Why? “Because it’s in Broward.”
