HEARTBREAKING: You Can’t Watch This Wedding Without Crying

If someone can watch this without tears, they’ve got a heart of stone.

On Sunday, in Plant City, Florida, inside the Big Red Barn, a wedding took place that was simply unlike any other. An eighteen-year-old boy suffering from terminal cancer who only has weeks to live married his high school sweetheart, and there wasn’t a single person there who wasn’t shedding tears.

Dustin Snyder and Sierra Siverio got engaged last Thursday and got married three days later; the wedding was planned in only four days because there was no time to spare. Sierra said, “We did it fast because honestly, we don’t know how much longer he does have.”

Roughly one year ago, the day before he turned 18, Dustin was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma, which later went into remission. But then it returned twice more, and the third time doctors said they were helpless to stop it. They have told Dustin that he has weeks or at most one month to live.

Dustin said, “I love her. She’s been there for me through this whole process,“ adding that Sierra “means the world to me. I wouldn’t be able to get through any of this without her.” At the ceremony, Dustin said, “I wouldn’t want to be standing here with anyone else, because you are the love of my life.”

After the ceremony, Sierra said, “Appreciate the time you have. You don’t know how much time you have.” Dustin added, “I feel amazing, it’s the best most special day of my life for sure. It’s a beautiful venue, beautiful place. All the people I love. All my friends, family here. This is everything I could ever ask for.”

In the four days in which the wedding was planned, the community donated everything for the wedding, including Sierra’s dress, Dustin’s suit, the venue, the cake, and the DJ; the community donated over $7,000 for the wedding.

Dustin said, “It’s meant everything. I couldn’t have imagined how much support and how much love I have from this community.”

Dustin and Sarah are planning to go to Disney World for their honeymoon; they are also planning a trip to Colorado in February.

Breaking: House committee votes on whether to release the FISA memo – here’s what happened

The House Intelligence Committee voted Monday to release the controversial FISA memo on alleged abuse at the FBI and the Department of Justice.

Democrats disappointed by vote

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) criticized the vote in a press conference. “Today you saw a vote to politicize the process,” he said. “It’s a sad day in the history of the committee.”

Schiff complained that Republicans voted against releasing a counter-memo by the Democrats that attempted to provide their context to the controversial FISA memo. “The release-the-memo crowd apparently doesn’t want to release the memo now,” he said.

The memo was written by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) and reportedly details actions by the FBI and the Department of Justice in relation to FISA warrants against members of the Trump campaign.

Several Republicans and allies of the president have claimed that it presents evidence that could undermine the credibility of the Mueller investigation into Russian election interference and alleged collusion with the Trump campaign.

Here’s a video of Schiff addressing the media:

FAKE NEWS: Public Broadcaster Admits To Increasing Booing Sounds During Trump Davos Speech

FAKE NEWS: Public Broadcaster Admits To Increasing Booing Sounds During Trump Davos Speech



German public broadcaster ARD has been blasted after admitting it “boosted” the sound of booing at the speech given by U.S. President Donald Trump late last week.

President Trump gave his speech at Davos on Thursday, again delivering sharp criticism to the mainstream media. He stated: “it wasn’t until I became a politician that I realized how nasty, how mean, how vicious, and how fake the press can be.”

ARD released a clip of the speech on the Twitter account for its popular news programme “Tagesschau” in which distinct boos could be heard directly after the President’s comments. A short time later the programme admitted it had booted the volume of the audio in order to showcase the booing. The show has since been accused of “manipulation”, Stern reports.

Those behind the programme wrote on Twitter, “We did actually make the sound a little louder at the end so that you can hear the booing. Only in this way can we reflect what our correspondents have reported.”

Editor-in-chief of the German tabloid newspaper Bild Julian Reichelt called out those involved saying it was, “hard to imagine that you would have done the same for applause.”

Kai Gniffke, the editor in chief of ARD defended the move saying that it proved the reporting of his journalists.

“By the way, newspapers also make comparisons when they enlarge image sections and may even mark them with a red circle – nobody would come up with the idea of calling this manipulation, but rather journalistic precision,” he said.

The move is not the first time the German media has shown a bias against the U.S. President.

German left-leaning magazine Der Spiegel has been slammed by many for its various magazine covers including one that depicted President Trump cutting off the head of the Statue of Liberty designed to be reminiscent of Islamic State executions.

Some in the German press have also engaged in radical rhetoric regarding Trump and his presidency with Josef Joffe, editor and publisher of left-wing paper Die Zeit, saying last year on a political panel television programme that the only way to end the “Trump catastrophe” was a “murder in the White House.”

In a more bizarre comment, editor in chief of the centre-right paper Die Welt Ulf Poschardt said that the best way for Germans to oppose Trump was to be more multicultural and more “gay.”

Germany’s establishment media collectively lost their minds when Breitbart London reported on a cathedral being set on fire in January last year, in addition to the use of an illustrative jetski photo which happened to include a barely recognisable, famous semi-retired footballer.

Elizabeth Warren Says It’s ‘Cruel’ To Let Healthy Babies Live

The left continued its assault on the English language today by hijacking words like “cruel” and “horryifing” to describe the act of letting healthy babies be born and live. Democratic Senator Elizabeth led the charge saying it would be cruel to ban abortionists from killing unborn babies who are 5 months or older. Most people would consider it an act of cruelty to exterminate a life like this, but as I said, the left changes words to fit their disgusting agenda.

The Senate is poised to vote on a bill today that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Doing the math, you can see that 20 weeks translates into about 5 months. At this point in the development process, a 5-month-old unborn baby is recognizable as a living human being. To kill a living human being as matter of convenience is barbaric.

But according to Fauxcahontas, it’s the people trying to protect human life who are way out of line here. Baby-killer advocates NARAL tweeted out this fun Elizabeth Warren quote:

“Whatever you believe about abortion personally, this 20-week abortion ban is dangerous and cruel,” said Warren.

Cruel and dangerous to who? Abortions are definitely dangerous to unborn babies and cruel if they are killed for no other reason than the mother can’t be bothered to take responsibility for her actions. And when you start getting into the gory details of how these fully-formed babies are cut up and sold for parts, the cruelty becomes even more evident.

This Warren quote is the work of an insane person. What if I personally believe that abortion as an elective surgery is wrong? Does Warren still think that I should be mortified by a 20-week abortion ban? I’m sure she does, but what could she be basing this claim on?

And speaking of insane persons, here is slacker Resistance member Alyssa Milano with an equally crazy take on the the Senate vote:

“DO NOT let #antichoice extremists get their way. The Senate is holding a vote to ban abortion at 20 weeks TODAY. Horrifying. We are a prochoice nation – call your Senator NOW + demand #NoAbortionBan,” wrote Milano.

Again, it’s horrifying to kill healthy unborn babies, allowing them to be parted out and sold for scrap. Most people would consider snuffing out babies to be an extremist position, not putting some reasonable regulation on the unnecessary practice of abortion.

For the benefit of Warren , Milano, and all the other liberal ghouls, here are the actual definitions of the words they want to subvert:

cru·el /kro͞o(ə)l/ adjective: willfully causing pain or suffering to others, or feeling no concern about it.

dan·ger·ous /dānj(ə)rəs/ adjective: able or likely to cause harm or injury.

hor·ri·fy /hôrəˌfī/ verb: fill with horror; shock greatly.

Killing a healthy 5-month-old unborn baby is cruel because it willfully causes suffering. It is also dangerous to the unborn baby because it causes harm and injury. It is horrifying that liberals think banning 20-week abortions is either of these things and greatly shocking that they have no feeling or concern for human life.

House Intelligence Committee Votes to Release the FBI Memo

House Intelligence Committee Votes to Release the FBI Memo



The House Intelligence Committee voted Monday to release a classified memo to the public detailing alleged abuse by senior Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigations officials in their investigation of the Trump campaign.

The committee voted on a party line, according to the Ranking Member Adam Schiff (D-CA), who gave a press conference after the decision.

President Trump now has five days to object to it. White House lawyer Ty Cobb told Politico in a statement:

“No decision will be made on the release unless and until the Congress, after the required vote, provides it to the White House.

“There it will be subjected to appropriate and serious review before a decision is made. The President strongly favors transparency for the American people and has urged the Executive Branch to cooperate with Congress to the fullest extent appropriate.”

The memo reportedly details — among other things — how senior officials abused FISA to obtain a surveillance warrant on Trump foreign policy campaign adviser Carter Page.

5G Hysteria: Is the Trump Admin Planning a Nationalized Network?

It’s been a whirlwind day in the telecommunications world.

Last month, the Trump administration previewed plans to “improve America’s digital infrastructure by deploying a secure 5G Internet capability nationwide.” But details were scant. Does that mean a public-private partnership involving spectrum allocation and wireless carrier investment, or an unprecedented plan to nationionalize the nation’s 5G infrastructure?

The latter is the subject of a memo and PowerPoint presentation from the National Security Council (NSC), published on Sunday by Axios. The story cites a source familiar with the document’s drafting who acknowledges the proposal is an “old” draft; a newer version is neutral about whether the US government should build and own the 5G infrastructure itself.

Multiple White House officials confirmed to Recode today that the NSC documents are indeed dated, unofficial, and do not reflect a major policy announcement. Nationalizing a private industry is not current FCC policy, so it’s no surprise FCC Chairman Ajit Pai quickly condemned the report.

That may have been the end of it, until White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders commented on the administration’s 5G network plans in today’s press briefing.

Here is Huckabee Sanders’ full response on the matter:

“As we outlined in our National Security Strategy…we discussed the need for a secure network,” said Huckabee Sanders. “Right now we’re in the very earliest stages of the conversations. There have been absolutely no decisions on what that would look like, what role anyone would play in it, simply the need for a secure network. That is the only part of the conversation we are up to right now.”

She added: “There are a lot of things on the table. These are the very earliest stages of the discussion period, and there have been absolutely no decisions made other than the need for a secure network.”

That’s not exactly a denial that the administration may be considering nationalized 5G infrastructure. Axios states that the documents were produced by a senior NSC official who “presented [them] recently to senior officials at other agencies in the Trump administration.”

The documents do not appear to have any visible security classifications, but Reuters says a senior administration official confirmed their authenticity and added that the proposal is still six to eight months away from being presented to the President.

So here’s where we’re at: the question of a nationalized government 5G network is still very much an open one, but it’s clear that the Trump administration is developing potential proposals for nationwide 5G. The leaked NSC PowerPoint and memo obtained by Axios discuss deploying a nationwide 5G network in the “mid-band” (3.7-4.2GHz) spectrum by the end of President Trump’s current term. The proposal’s main arguments in favor of nationalization are to compete more effectively with China in network infrastructure, and to enable emerging technologies such as self-driving cars and virtual reality.

A Closer Look at the Proposal

There are a lot of levels to this. PCMag took a closer look at the leaked documents to break down many of the technical details, as well as the wide-ranging arguments and logic used to support the proposal.

It’s unclear whether the government would build the infrastructure itself or form a consortium with top telco companies including AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon, each of which is already heavily invested in building out 5G networks.

Entitled “Secure 5G,” the PowerPoint likens a nationwide 5G network to “The Eisenhower National Highway System for the Information Age.” The core argument posits that an American 5G network would serve as the counter to China’s “One Belt One Road Initiative,” giving the US a secure network to defend against Chinese economic and cybersecurity threats.

Fastest Mobile Networks

However, the 5G network would only be built over “mid-band airwaves,” as opposed to the low-band and high-band spectrum currently built out in 4G networks and supported by most network hardware. The proposal would allow wireless providers to compete with each other outside the government-run spectrum, with the federal network serving as the backbone.

Mark Hung, Research Vice President at Gartner, leads IoT and wireless communications research for the analyst firm. He told PCMag the most immediate challenge is simply a lack of available mid-band hardware, especially in an extremely unrealistic three-year timeframe.

“One of the key salient points of the memo is that they’re pushing to have the government build out a nationwide IT network built on the mid-band spectrum,” said Hung. “The first technical challenge is that there are no equipment vendors building 5G equipment for that spectrum; they’re building equipment for low- or high-band, but not the mid-band.”

The 5G plan may be motivated by trying to keep pace with China, but Hung said there are a few key differences between the US and China in this respect. China has two equipment providers capable of building this kind of hardware—Huawei and ZTE—whereas the US has limited options. The wireless networking gear market is highly consolidated as it is, and the US has already restricted US contractors from using Chinese hardware.

“The big difference is that China has two equipment providers in Huawei and ZTE, whereas the US has none on the radio side,” Hung pointed out. “Even if the government were to do this, you’d have to rely on other possibilities such as Ericsson, Nokia, or possibly Samsung. All are US allies, but we’re still not developing homegrown talent.”

Another major issue is that there has never been a consumer-facing US communications network owned by the government (there are military networks). The nationalization plan proposes superseding state and local governments to create a federal process for installing the wireless equipment needed to operate the 5G infrastructure, which would be a mass-scale federal encroachment into local law.

“There has never been a nationalized network. If you look at the documents, the rationale is to build the highest speed network possible with the widest swath of spectrum possible. So if you look at the mid-band, that’s 500MHz of bandwidth,” said Hung. “If we were to build a single national network using all 500MHz of the spectrum, you could build the fastest network with multi-gigabit speed.”

At the same time, Hung said this would require more base stations. All of the major carriers are looking into extremely high-band 5G networks, but Hung gave the example of the network Verizon is currently building out in Sacramento, California. It relies on a network of small cells, which present a lot of advantages once the network is up and running but necessitates even more equipment and presents large-scale building and permit challenges nationwide.

“If you have a single 500MHz spectrum, the advantage for carriers is much faster speeds and wider coverage more quickly where you can potentially reuse existing 4G cell towers,” said Hung. “But the major downside is that it’s never been done before. I don’t think any of the carriers would buy into a plan like this because they all want their own networks.”

There’s also the question of security, which the proposal states a 5G network would provide. While cellular networks are far more secure than the Wi-Fi networks of smart devices caught up in botnets and other attacks, Hung said the “security” referenced here is more about creating US 5G infrastructure as opposed to relying on Chinese equipment. That said, nationwide 5G would still rely upon multiple interconnected networks.

One aspect of the proposal that Hung said does hold up is 5G’s ability to enable more emerging tech. The jump from 3G to 4G was largely a speed upgrade. While Hung said the difference between 4G and 5G is about 10x speed, he also pointed to two other main technological pillars that form the foundation of 5G: massive scalability and decreased latency.

“5G can scales from hundreds of endpoints up to hundreds of thousands to support a lot of applications, and the reduced latency almost feels like you’re touching the end of the network. This reduced latency could enable all sorts of remote applications such as connected cars,” he said.

Finally, the proposal places a good deal of weight on the US need to compete with China in artificial intelligence as part of a larger “AI Arms Race.” Advanced AI development could certainly benefit from 5G networks, but the two are not closely related enough to use AI competition as a justification for building a nationalized 5G network in three years. The proposal’s logic tying AI to 5G is tenuous at best.

Tech Industry and Political Reactions

A government-run network would be a 180-degree policy reversal from the Trump administration’s current positions on deregulation, telecommunications, and granting more autonomy to private sector businesses. So it’s no surprise that a bevy of statements have come out criticizing potentially nationalized 5G infrastructure.

The Trump administration’s official 5G network plans should materialize in the coming months. Whether the proposal does indeed call for nationalized infrastructure or not, there are now plenty of opinions on the matter from both sides of the aisle. Here are some of the most notable comments:

FCC Chairman Ajit Pai
“I oppose any proposal for the federal government to build and operate a nationwide 5G network. The main lesson to draw from the wireless sector’s development over the past three decades—including American leadership in 4G—is that the market, not government, is best positioned to drive innovation and investment,” Pai said in a statement. “What government can and should do is to push spectrum into the commercial marketplace and set rules that encourage the private sector to develop and deploy next-generation infrastructure. Any federal effort to construct a nationalized 5G network would be a costly and counterproductive distraction from the policies we need to help the United States win the 5G future.”

FCC Commissioner Michael O’Rielly
“I’ve seen lead balloons tried in D.C. before but this is like a balloon made out of a Ford Pinto,” said O’Rielly, a Republican. “If accurate, the Axios story suggests options that may be under consideration by the Administration that are nonsensical and do not recognize the current marketplace. Instead, U.S. commercial wireless companies are the envy of the world and are already rushing ahead to lead in 5G. I plan to do everything in my power to provide the necessary resources, including allocating additional spectrum and preempting barriers to deployment, to allow this private sector success to continue.”

FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn
“The United States’ leadership in the deployment of 5G is critical and must be done right,” said Clyburn, a Democrat. “Localities have a central role to play; the technical expertise possessed by industry should be utilized; and cybersecurity must be a core consideration. A network built by the federal government, I fear, does not leverage the best approach needed for our nation to win the 5G race.”

Wireless industry trade association CTIA President and CEO Meredith Attwell Baker
“The wireless industry agrees that winning the race to 5G is a national priority. The government should pursue the free market policies that enabled the U.S. wireless industry to win the race to 4G.”

Internet Innovation Alliance
“Over the past 20 years, private sector network operators have invested hundreds of billions of dollars in building the wireless networks that have transformed how Americans work and live. As recent announcements from major network operators have shown, they are once again on the cusp of investing hundreds of billions of dollars more over the next decade to bring Americans the benefits of next-generation 5G networks, which will enable the Internet of Things and ever-faster communication. There is a global race to deploy 5G and to determine the standards by which that system will be deployed. As Commissioner Rosenworcel stated, in the current environment, ‘other nations are poised to win.’

“As we have long argued, for America to preserve its global leadership in telecommunications, this type of investment can only come from the private sector. Only the private sector, not government, can ensure the fastest and greatest possible deployments of new broadband technology in a way that will benefit all Americans. As Chairman Pai observed, ‘[t]he main lesson to draw from the wireless sector’s development over the past three decades – including American leadership in 4G – is that the market, not government, is best positioned to drive innovation and investment.’ We agree: to promote innovation and investment in the broadband future and to maintain American global leadership in telecommunications, the way forward is through encouraging the private sector, not government control of networks.”

Adam Brandon, President of Conservative and Libertarian advocacy group FreedomWorks
“We share the Trump administration’s belief that America must do more to lead and capitalize on the 5G revolution, but the best way government can help is by getting out of the way. The idea that the federal government, mired by waste and fraud in nearly all of its ventures from the Obamacare exchanges to the F-35 fighter, is better suited than competing private-sector telecoms to build a functional and affordable 5G network with anything resembling haste is laughable. Nationalizing any part of the 5G market would be a massive regression in what we agree is an area where America must catch and surpass the capabilities of China.

“In addition to concerns about inefficiency, the idea of granting government singular control of the 5G network should be setting off alarms for all Americans concerned with privacy. Considering the recent reauthorization of FISA’s Section 702, it’s clear that our nation’s national security establishment already has plenty of tools to breach the Fourth Amendment—we shouldn’t hand them this bazooka.

“The reason it is so important for America to lead the way versus China is because, unlike the communist government in Beijing, Americans cherish economic and personal freedoms. We’re not beating the Chinese if we sacrifice what makes our government so different from theirs.”

Va. Sen. Mark Warner, Senate Intelligence Committee Ranking Member
“While I’m glad that the Trump Administration recognizes that maintaining American leadership in the information age requires a significant investment commitment, I’m concerned that constructing a nationalized 5G network would be both expensive and duplicative, particularly at a time when the Administration is proposing to slash critical federal investments in R&D and broadband support for unserved areas. America’s leadership in emerging fields like AI depends on supporting our nation’s research universities – and having an immigration system that attracts the brightest minds in the world – rather than rehashing old debates on construction of a standalone federal broadband network. I agree there are serious concerns relating to the Chinese government’s influence into network equipment markets, and I would look forward to working with the Administration on a viable, cost-effective solution to begin addressing those risks.”

BREAKING: FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe – Named In FISA MEMO – STEPS DOWN EFFECTIVE TODAY

FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe has “stepped down effective today,” reports NBC News. 

“McCabe, who served a brief stint as acting director of the bureau, was already expected to leave. He will stay on “terminal leave” until he is eligible to retire with benefits in March,” reports CNBC.

One source familiar said McCabe was exercising his retirement eligibility and characterized his decision as “stepping aside.”

McCabe has been at the center of ongoing tensions between the White House and the FBI and has reportedly been under pressure to quit from President Donald Trump, whose campaign is being investigated for possible collusion with Russia.

Earlier this month, the Washington Post reported that after Trump had fired FBI Director James Comey, he met with McCabe in the Oval Office and asked him whom he voted for in the 2016 election. […]

Trump was asked on Monday whether he knew McCabe was stepping aside and the president did not answer.

Last week, the Daily Beast reported former FBI Director James Comey, bureau Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein are officially named in the “shocking” FISA abuse memo.

According to the Washington Post, McCabe intended to resign from the FBI once he was eligible for full pension benefits in March.

Why aren’t the Democrats horrified by the corruption at the FBI and DOJ?

It is becoming clearer by the day, after over a year of investigations, that the Obama administration did indeed weaponize the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA, the ATF, the IRS and the NSA.  Over those eight years, each of the above agencies was transformed into an arm of the Democratic Party tasked with crippling the opposition and abrogating the Constitution.  


Since all of the mainstream media already were arms of the DNC, it is well and truly a miracle that  Donald Trump prevailed throughout his campaign to win the election, as the entire DC bureaucracy and media were  aligned against him.  Most of them  still are.  



Those law enforcement institutions in which Americans have put their trust and faith for many decades have been thoroughly compromised by a group of bad actors at the top, self-appointed arbiters of electoral politics.   Besides sullying the reputations of their institutions, this “secret society” of persons who believe themselves to be above the law has lethally betrayed the rank and file employees of those agencies.  


The public has seen only a fraction of the material that, according to those who have seen it, proves higher-ups at the DOJ and FBI colluded to clear Hillary Clinton of any responsibility for her many crimes.   These operatives knew she had ignored all the rules regarding classified material by having her own private server.  They likely all knew the Clinton Foundation was nothing but a pay-to-play outfit to enrich the Clintons (only 6% of its funds went to charity).  And this bunch still thought she was qualified to be President,  this woman with a forty-year history of lying, cheating and scheming!  


Are there no essential values among these persons privileged to wield power over the rest of us?  In collusion with the Clinton campaign,  the DNC, the FBI and DOJ worked together to produce and then use fabricated opposition research to obtain FISA warrants to spy on possibly hundreds of people connected to the Trump family and campaign.  They did this to bring him down by any means necessary.  As many people have observed, this is the stuff of the former Soviet Union and third-world dictatorships.


Information is being released in dribs and drabs, but enough has been made public for all to know that this is the biggest political scandal in American history.    The Republicans want to release a memo that is a summary of what the House Intelligence Committee has seen so far.  This memo is based solely on documents provided to the committee by the FBI and the DOJ.    The Democrats are fighting the release of said memo.  


The ever-obsessed Adam Schiff is determined that no member of the public be allowed to see what our elected representatives have already seen.  We are apparently too stupid to grasp the complexities of this summary.  Schiff still believes the fabricated Trump/Russia collusion narrative, even though he has seen the documents and texts from Strzok saying there is “no there there”  ten months into this scam investigation.  Schiff has invested so many television hours in pushing his version of events, the one he so fervently wants to be true, that he can’t let go of it even as it is revealed to be a malicious plan by a group of arrogant civil servants, all of them Democrats.


What is so distressing is that no elected Democrat,  not one, has expressed shock or concern that these agencies have been so corrupted.  Given what we know so far, every member of Congress and every member of the press should  be equally horrified.  This level of criminality should offend everyone, every citizen and every elected official.  But to the left, it’s just another dust-up created by those rascally Republicans.   Use our law enforcement agencies to destroy a campaign and/or to bring about the impeachment of a President?   “So what” seems to be the attitude on the left.  The Constitution be damned.  


Among these culprits, who include Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper, Susan Rice, Samantha Power, Andrew McCabe, James Comey, Rod Rosenstein, Lisa Page, and Peter Strzok,  there is no honor, no respect for the law, the truth or the American people.   


Shouldn’t the Democrats be as angry about this as Republicans?  Has their hatred for Trump so impaired their judgment that they have sacrificed their integrity,  their respect for ethics and the law?   How else to explain their full engagement in the cover-up, fueled by their wholesale denial of the facts? 


Once DOJ IG Michael Horowitz’s report is released,  and if the FISA memo is made public, much more will be clear to everyone.  One has to wonder how the Democrats will recover their lost dignity.  Their many months-long defense of the indefensible will have done significant damage to their brand unless Democrat voters are as unscrupulous, as unconcerned about honor and ethics as their elected representatives have proven to be.


It is becoming clearer by the day, after over a year of investigations, that the Obama administration did indeed weaponize the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA, the ATF, the IRS and the NSA.  Over those eight years, each of the above agencies was transformed into an arm of the Democratic Party tasked with crippling the opposition and abrogating the Constitution.

What is so distressing is that no elected Democrat,  not one, has expressed shock or concern that these agencies have been so corrupted.  Given what we know so far, every member of Congress and every member of the press should  be equally horrified.  This level of criminality should offend everyone, every citizen and every elected official.  But to the left, it’s just another dust-up created by those rascally Republicans.   Use our law enforcement agencies to destroy a campaign and/or to bring about the impeachment of a President?   “So what” seems to be the attitude on the left.  The Constitution be damned.  


Among these culprits, who include Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper, Susan Rice, Samantha Power, Andrew McCabe, James Comey, Rod Rosenstein, Lisa Page, and Peter Strzok,  there is no honor, no respect for the law, the truth or the American people.   


Shouldn’t the Democrats be as angry about this as Republicans?  Has their hatred for Trump so impaired their judgment that they have sacrificed their integrity,  their respect for ethics and the law?   How else to explain their full engagement in the cover-up, fueled by their wholesale denial of the facts? 


Once DOJ IG Michael Horowitz’s report is released,  and if the FISA memo is made public, much more will be clear to everyone.  One has to wonder how the Democrats will recover their lost dignity.  Their many months-long defense of the indefensible will have done significant damage to their brand unless Democrat voters are as unscrupulous, as unconcerned about honor and ethics as their elected representatives have proven to be.
