Nolte: Obamacare Mandate Repeal Is the Most Important Civil Rights Victory in Years

Going all the way back to 2009, it was obvious Obamacare would end up looking like a Rube Goldberg machine powered by totalitarianism. Who would have ever guessed, though, it was such a fiasco that the mandate would actually cost the government money — a delicious irony that would result in its undoing.

It works like this…

For the sin of being born, Obamacare mandates that every American purchase health insurance. If we do not purchase this totally unnecessary, godawful product (more on this below), we are required by law to pay a hefty tax to the federal government.

Somehow, and I do not really care how, this tax actually costs the government money, some $340 billion — with a “B” — every ten years.

Only Bill Ayers’ pal and his merry band of congressional nincompoops could crawl so far up their own backsides that they were able to find a tax that increases the deficit.

But thank heavens they did. Had they not, the Senate would not have repealed the mandate Friday night.

After the humiliation of failing to keep their defining promise to repeal Obamacare, the Senate turned to tax reform, which also looked sketchy due to deficit projections. But then the clouds parted and the stars aligned with the discovery that repealing the Obamacare mandate would save the government this $340 billion.

Talk about a win-win. Here was a way to kill the most hated (and crucial) part of Obamacare and pass tax cuts. And that is exactly what happened — the American people won a sweet two-fer:  lower taxes and freedom from a fascist mandate.

Normally I am cautious about celebrating such a thing until it is signed into law. My understanding, though, is that the worst that can happen from here is the House passes the Senate bill — which means the Obamacare mandate is dead, which means this is the most important civil rights victory in years.

If I purchase a car, I am voluntarily taking on certain civic responsibilities that require the purchase of insurance. I have no problem with that. The Obamacare mandate is something altogether different.

For no other reason other than the fact I am born, the mandate is the federal government forcing me to buy something. This is nothing less than a legalized violation of my civil rights.

Forget the fact that Obamacare so over-regulates the insurance industry that we are now required to purchase a ridiculously expensive, one-size-fits-all Cadillac plan with a deductible so sky-high most of us will never use it. That is the least of this outrage, and something the Senate still needs to fix.

What I am talking about is the principle of the state forcing you to purchase something for your own good and for the good of others.

Sorry to be crude, but f**k that.

Setting a precedent that allows the government to force me to buy something for my own good is as un-American as it gets. What if studies show that the key to a long life is owning a Bible and gun? Is it okay with you Obamacare fans if Trump and Co. mandates the purchase of those?

Because the numbers come from the mainstream media and our government, I do not believe that the mandate repeal will result in 13 million more uninsured Americans. After all, how many of those will be thrilled to no longer be forced to purchase insurance, how many will gladly volunteer to be uninsured?

But if you want to know the truth, even if you could convince me that the mandate repeal would result in 13 million losing the insurance they want, I still don’t give a damn — for four reasons.

1) No one incapable of working will lose their insurance. There is plenty of welfare out there.

2) Until the government told me I had to buy health insurance, I have managed to be insured my whole life. Even during those years when I was as poor as a working man can be. I worked two jobs. My wife worked two jobs. I suggest you do the same.

3) Everyone has access to health care. You may have to pay for it yourself. You may have to go into debt. But health care is available to everyone.

4) Thirteen million uninsured is a small price to pay to restore my freedom, my civil rights, my God-given right to handle (or not handle) my personal health care in whatever way I so choose.

The federal government’s only job is to protect my rights, not to strip them in a fit of fascist do-gooderism.

So to this Obamacare repeal, I say without a hint of irony, Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty we are free at last.

Did the prosecutors make a fatal mistake in the trial for the Kate Steinle killer?

So far as I can tell, jurors who acquitted Jose Ines Garcia Zarate of all charges related to the death of Kate Steinle have not been hounded by journalists seeking an explanation for their puzzling findings. At a minimum, involuntary manslaughter should have been a slam dunk. Google does not find anything about interviews that jurors have granted.  In fact, I have seen very little in the way of coverage of key moments in the trial.


But yesterday, the Armstrong and Getty Show, broadcast in most major cities in the West, interviewed an experienced former Bay Area prosecutor and current Defense attorney, Michael Cardoza, who sat through much (though not all) of the trial. He was reluctant to harshly criticize his former colleagues in the San Francisco DA’s office, but he did indicate that the prosecution seems to have made a major mistake during the course of the trial.



The initial charges filed, including manslaughter, peaked with second degree murder. But part way through the trial, the prosecutors added first degree murder, which requires intent to kill. This charge would be very difficult to sustain in the lest political of circumstances, because damage to the bullet that struck Ms. Steinle indicated that it had ricocheted off the cement surface of the pier. Thus, it could not have been directed at Ms. Steinle.


In the experience of Mr. Cardoza, juries sometimes stop believing prosecutors who change their charges in the course of a trial. There is at least a chance that at that point in the trial, the jurors turned against the prosecution.


 At a minimum, it is an interesting point. If you wish to listen to the podcast, go here, and click on a the 8 AM hour.

Report: Doug Jones Paid by Corrupt Democratic Politician’s Foundation

Report: Doug Jones Paid by Corrupt Democratic Politician’s Foundation

by Michelle Moons1 Dec 20170



Alabama candidate for the U.S. Senate Doug Jones worked for a Democratic politician’s foundation caught in a still-unraveling bribery scandal, according to a new report from local WHNT19 News.

The new report reveals information from Jones’s Senate ethics disclosure filings, which say he was paid as a lawyer for the Oliver Robinson Foundation. The foundation’s namesake has been reportedly embroiled in a bribery scandal that federal officials have said is not over yet.

Former state representative Robinson pleaded guilty this year to conspiracy, bribery, and honest services wire fraud. WHNT reported that Robinson took bribes “to encourage residents to oppose a federal cleanup of contaminated property in a low-income neighborhood in north Birmingham.”

Local ABC33 News reported that Robinson pledged to cooperate with federal authorities in an attempt to evade a 100-year sentence.

“The U.S. Attorney’s Office has made it clear their investigation is ongoing,” the report stated.

Robinson signed a plea agreement in the case that stated that two lawyers paid the then-state legislator as part of the scheme and that the funds were funneled through the foundation, according to WHNT.

A statement from the Jones campaign to WHNT claimed that Jones “did not represent Oliver Robinson at the time he was charged” and directed questions to the then-attorney for the foundation, Richard Jaffe.

Democrat Jones is facing off against Judge Roy Moore in Alabama’s December election to fill the Senate seat formerly held by now-U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Obama Campaigners Pour Another $733,000 into Single Day of Media Buys to Oppose Roy Moore, Total ‘In-Kind Contributions’ Now Exceed $2.7 Million

A secretive Washington, DC, consulting firm run by former Obama campaign staffer Jim Margolis poured $733,000 into a media buy for Highway 31 — a shell independent expenditure organization set up to support liberal Democrat Doug Jones and oppose Roy Moore in the December 12 Alabama U.S. Senate special election — for just one day of advertisements purchased on Thursday, according to a report filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) late Friday.

According to a report it filed with the FEC for the period from its inception on November 6 to November 22, Highway 31 has no assets. However, it has obtained more than $2.7 million in advertising services over a 25-day period (Nov. 6-30) from two D.C.-based consulting firms founded by former Obama campaign officials: Bully Pulpit Interactive, an online advertising firm founded by former Obama campaign digital media director Andrew Bleeker, and Waterfront Strategies, a media purchasing firm that is a wholly owned subsidiary of GMMB Consulting, which was founded by Margolis.

According to an independent expenditure report signed by Highway 31 Treasurer Edward Still and filed with the FEC on Friday, Highway 31 incurred two separate obligations, totaling $733,464, for media buys for local television and radio station advertisements “publicly distributed/disseminated” on Nov. 30, purchased by Waterfront Strategies to oppose Roy Moore.

One of these obligations was for $519,537 and the second was for $213,927, together totaling $733,464.

All told, in the 25 days since its inception, Highway 31 has incurred more than $2.7 million in obligations, almost all of it with Bully Pulpit International and Waterfront Strategies. The entire $2.7 million appears to have been provided to Highway 31 on credit.

Breitbart News asked Highway 31 spokesperson Adam Muhlendorf, a former staffer for a Democratic Congressman, to answer some very basic questions about Highway 31:

1. Has Highway 31 received any contributions as of close of business, Friday, December 1?

2. If so, what is the total amount of those contributions, and what are the names and addresses of anyone who has contributed more than $2,000?

3. How much has Highway 31 paid to its vendors as of close of business, Friday, December 1?

4. How much does Highway 31 owe its vendors as of close of business, Friday, December 1?

Muhlendorf has not yet responded.

The Washington Post noted on Friday that “Under the rules set out by the FEC, final contributor and expense disclosure reports for the race must be filed by Jan. 21,” which is more than one month after the date the election is to be held on December 12. “The second biggest spender in the Alabama Senate race looks and acts like a local operation,” the Post said of Highway 31, adding:

But in a state where out-of-state interference is seen as poisonous by many voters, the true identity of the donors to Highway 31, which exists to support Democratic candidate Doug Jones, has been carefully shielded from Alabama voters by legally evading Federal Election Commission disclosure rules.

To date, the organization has reported spending nearly $2 million on television, digital and direct mail ads, including attacks on Republican Roy Moore for allegedly dating teenage girls and praise for Jones as a Christian believer who will uphold Second Amendment rights. Highway 31 is named for the road connecting Alabama’s four major cities.

The unusual ruse deployed by the former Obama campaigners to flood Alabama with advertisements funded by secret, out-of-state investors appears to comply with federal election law as interpreted through rulings by the FEC, but a long list of critics say the sophisticated deception violates the spirit of the law.

More importantly, it fundamentally violates principles of transparency critical to confidence in the entire democratic process.

Breitbart News summed up the situation on Friday:

A legal expert on federal election law tells Breitbart News this arrangement is probably “a legal in-kind contribution to the IE” by Bully Pulpit Interactive, according to a recent FEC administrative ruling, even if Bully Pulpit Interactive is never paid a dime by Highway 31, the IE.

However, the arrangement may violate the spirit of federal election law if some other group is paying Bully Pulpit Interactive a like amount for an “unrelated project” that requires basically no work. Proving that such a behind-the-scenes arrangement was, in effect, made to compensate, however, would be very difficult, the expert says, even it does exist.

“Yes, this appears to be legal. FEC regulations concerning debt are fairly straightforward: political committees are allowed to have debt as long as they report the amount of debt to the FEC. The regulations do not address the situation of taking on debt when a committee has no assets or donors, ” Tyler Cole, Legislative Director & Policy Counsel at Issue One, a non-profit whose “goal is to pass and protect federal legislation that strengthens accountability and returns America to a system of self-governance for the common good,” told Breitbart News when asked about the propriety of the Highway 31 arrangement with Bully Pulpit Interactive and GMMB Consulting’s Waterfront Strategies.

“Issue One believes that it is important for voters to know who is funding advertisements that seek to influence their vote,” Cole added.

“This is disclosure in name only given that due to the reporting deadlines, voters will not be able to see what individuals or organization are funding Highway 31 until after the election. Unfortunate situations like these are why we believe that disclosure laws should be strengthened so voters get more information and get that information more quickly and easily,” Cole concluded.

The flood of secretive, out-of-state money coming in from liberals in Washington, DC, — and likely elsewhere — to elect liberal Democrat Doug Jones over conservative Republican Roy Moore on December 12 now looks to be at an unprecedented level.

In 25 days, these unknown donors funded $2.7 million in campaign ads supporting Jones and opposing Moore. At the daily rate of $733,000 spent on Thursday, the money spent over the next twelve days could be well over $8 million, bringing the total amount spent by unknown parties not from Alabama against Moore to well over $10 million in just a little over one month.

Mueller’s New Restaurant Chain: Nothing Burgers

Christmas came early for ABC’s Brian Ross on Friday. Breathlessly reporting what the left has been wishing for under their tree on Christmas morning, “[Flynn] is prepared to testify…against President Trump, against members of the Trump family, and others in the White House.”


This is it. Send the paddy wagon for Trump, his entire family, his White House Staff, the works. Turn Mar-a-Lago into a federal prison.  Joy Behar and her fellow magpies were giddy with delight. The rest of the media followed suit, happily not having to talk about their fellow travelers who have been outed as sexual predators. Or the Senate passing a tax bill. Or Kate Steinle’s illegal alien killer being given a pass, facing far less punishment than Mike Flynn who gave false statements to the FBI.



Trump haters in the media became hysterical, with Brian Ross of ABC embarrassing himself and his network by falsely reporting the contact as having taken place during the campaign, as Rick Moran reports.


So? What is an incoming administration supposed to be doing? The transition period is over two months long. Not simply to interview and vet candidates for myriad administration posts, but to begin building relationships with foreign governments, friends and foes alike. Discussing policies and future plans.


Lots going on in the world that a new president must contend with. Hard to begin from scratch on inauguration day. Which is why there is a transition period. Trump would have rightly been criticized for not being well prepared to lead the country when he took the oath of office.


Brian Ross and the Washington Post also have short memories. Especially when the previous president did the same thing, and before, not after the election. As the WaPo buried toward the end of a recent story,


Michael McFaul, who served as U.S. ambassador to Russia during the Obama administration, said that he was in Moscow meeting with officials in the weeks leading up to Obama’s 2008 election win.


In the “weeks leading up to the election”, Obama was still a private citizen, not the President-elect. Where was the outrage? Where was the special counsel? Where was Brian Ross?


If anything, this is a violation of the Logan Act, an old law that the fake news media is throwing around, specifically a “federal statute making it a crime for a citizen to confer with foreign governments against the interests of the United States.”


Did candidate Obama have authorization from President Bush to meet with Moscow? Unlike President-elect Trump, no longer just a citizen or a candidate, but a future president preparing to take office. Or Ted Kennedy who, “Made secret overtures to the Soviet Union’s spy agency during the Cold War to thwart then-President Ronald Reagan’s re-election.”


And who cares who directed Flynn, as incoming national security advisor, to contact Russia or any other country? Was it Trump himself? Or one of his surrogates, including his son-in-law Jared? All standard and expected for an incoming administration. Where’s the crime? Other than Flynn making false statements to the FBI.


What is Mueller charged with investigating? “Coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump.” Campaign, not the incoming administration. Coordination meaning collusion, which thus far there is no evidence of. Nothing burger.


The problem is that Flynn’s communications with Russia were after the campaign, when Trump was the president-elect. Instead Flynn got caught up in, “The special counsel is authorized to prosecute federal crimes arising from the investigation of these matters.” Like contradicting himself when speaking to the FBI. Just as Scooter Libby did. Process crime only. A false statement about something irrelevant to the investigation and certainly not illegal. A nothing burger for Mueller.


Mueller was appointed over six months ago. Is this all he has after all the investigating, assisted with a bunch of Democrat lawyers, looking for anything to nail Donald Trump? A process crime? False statement to the FBI and nothing on his mandate of collusion with Russia to influence the election? An empty burger.


If Trump committed a crime, we would know about it after half a year of investigation by Mueller and his hoard of investigators. And the intrepid investigators of every major news organization who would like nothing better than to nail Trump.


Who’s happy over this? Besides the left-wing media finally getting a bit of holiday cheer after months of horrible news exposing their “women’s rights” icons as predators. I’ll bet Vladimir Putin is enjoying this immensely. Mueller is accomplishing what the Russians could only dream of. Sowing doubt and discord into the US electoral process and the duly elected president. Propaganda at its best.


Meanwhile the special counsel marches along, looking for scalps, convictions and pleas to justify their time and efforts chasing windmills. Forget In-N-Out Burger. Mueller, when this all winds down, can join forces with James Comey and Brian Ross, opening a new burger chain, Nothing Burger. A fat bun with nothing in between.

‘Thursday Night Football’ Suffers Yet Another Ratings Crash

‘Thursday Night Football’ Suffers Yet Another Ratings Crash

The Associated Press

by Warner Todd Huston1 Dec 20170



Thursday’s match-up between the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Redskins brought the NFL another ratings dud, even without any players protesting during the national anthem.

The game captured a scant 10.7/18 result in metered markets on Thursday. This was a whopping 24 percent dive from the same week’s game during the 2016 season, Deadline Hollywood reported.

The announcement of the latest NFL ratings slump comes on the heels of another all time low registered for Monday Night Football.

Still, the game was up over the Thanksgiving edition of TNF, beating the Redskins-Giants ratings by ten percent. However, that game featured a 4-win team versus a two-win team, and it would have been next to impossible for the NFL to not surpass that woeful mark.

TV ratings weren’t the only problem the Thursday game faced. Fans also stayed home from the stadium as numerous photos showing scads of empty seats proved.

Left Smothers Kate Steinle Verdict with Progressive Narratives

Progressives reacted to the shocking Kate Steinle verdict by claiming that the law has proven the killing was an accident, and by touting gun control, and by downplaying the killer’s identity as an illegal immigrant who hid in a sanctuary city after being deported five times.

The jury declared Zarate not guilty of the first-degree murder of Steinle, so the killing must be an accident, tweeted progressives.

Progressives argued that Republicans were “scapegoating immigrants,” even though Zarate did kill Steinle, was not a legal immigrant, but was an illegal immigrant who sneaked back into the country five times to hide under San Francisco’s “sanctuary city” policies.

Major progressive news outlets played up the progressive themes, and also relabelled the killer as a normal “Mexican man” or an “undocumented immigrant,” just not a five-deportation, city-protected, illegal alien.

Democrats also tried to shift the focus to their campaign to control private ownership of guns.

Report: Trump to Recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s Capital In Wednesday Speech

Report: Trump to Recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s Capital In Wednesday Speech

by Breitbart Jerusalem1 Dec 20170



The Times of Israel reports: WASHINGTON — Defying longstanding American policy, US President Donald Trump will give a speech Wednesday recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, according to an Axios report on Friday.

A White House spokesman, contacted by The Times of Israel on Friday afternoon, would not confirm the story. “The president has always said it is a matter of when, not if,” the official said. “The president is still considering options and we have nothing to announce.”

The Axios report cited two sources with direct knowledge of Trump’s intentions.

Trump Accused Of Racism For Replacing A Toilet Seat In The White House

The big news out of Washington is that Donald Trump is racist because he had a toilet seat in the Oval Office replaced. I’m serious. This is a general concern for leftists as well as the fake news industry. In a bombshell report, NBC has broken the lid off of “Tolietgate.” You see, Trump is so racist that he refused to sit on the same crapper that Barack Obama once used. Has anyone drawn up articles of impeachment yet?

Because NBC Washington specializes in both real and important news they got a hold of White House maintenance records and exposed this scandal:

Some of the projects appear large in scope. Some appear quite small. The work orders show a request to replace the toilet seat in the Oval Office in late January, and specifies the project be completed “after hours please.”

Boy, they sure make that sound sinister, don’t they? Trump had a toilet seat replaced and he wanted it done on the down low so nobody would know what he’s up to. NBC isn’t the only one who found this to be problematic. Twitter users were quick to point out the blatant racism of it all:

And many saw a parallel between this and the book/movie The Help:

I have several alternative theories: 1) The toilet seat was broken and needed to be replaced. 2) Someone other than Trump, like say the house keeping staff, ordered the toilet seat replaced because it was broken. 3) The toilet seat was replaced as part of regularly scheduled maintainence. 4) Knowing that Michelle Obama’s giant nut sack once jiggled around on that thing, Trump had it replaced, but not because of racism.

Sadly, this is by far the best proof yet that President Trump is racist, which is to say there is no compelling evidence of his racism. Another sad fact is that this is what passes for news in the Age of Trump. How many stories do you recall about the Obama’s changing fixtures in the White House?

Confirmed: Trump’s driven the media into the toilet

**Written by Doug Powers

The list of impeachable offenses the media keeps digging up grows by the day:

BREAKING: The White House, not unlike everybody else’s house, needs things repaired and replaced once in a while:

White House officials submitted hundreds of requests in 2017 for repairs, equipment and pest control to building administrators with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), which helps manage maintenance needs in the West Wing and East Wing of the White House.

Maintenance workers were asked over the past two years to respond to reports of mice infiltrating the White House Navy mess food service area and the White House Situation Room. There were also at least four reported cockroach infestations on the grounds and a complaint of ants in the White House chief of staff’s office.

Some of the projects appear large in scope. Some appear quite small. The work orders show a request to replace the toilet seat in the Oval Office in late January, and specifies the project be completed “after hours please.”

And of course the conclusion from The Resistance is that a change in toilet seats in January of 2017 is the clearest evidence of racism in the White House.

NBC’s “scoop” requires a double flush.
