Dems Desperate to Delay Kennedy Vote Just Got Double-Crossed by Their Own Rules - Duration: 4:33.
Dems Desperate to Delay Kennedy Vote Just Got Double-Crossed by Their Own Rules.
If anyone knows about "hypocrisy," it's Chuck Schumer.
With Wednesday's news that Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy is stepping down after
30 years of service, and giving President Donald Trump a second chance to appoint a
constitutional conservative to the high court, Democrats are sending up a nationwide wail
that the process should be put off until after the midterm elections.
But they don't have a leg to stand on, thanks to the very rules they instituted during their
years in power during the Obama administration.
In a statement on the Senate floor on Wednesday, Minority Leader Schumer, a New York Democrat,
had the audacity to demand the Senate hold off on confirming any new Trump Supreme Court
nominee until after Americans go to the polls in November.
Schumer cited Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's crucial decision in 2016 to refuse to consider
any nominee named by then-President Barack Obama to fill the high court seat left vacant
by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February of that year.
Millions of people are just months away from determining the senators who should vote to
confirm or reject the president's nominee and their voices deserve to be heard," Schumer
said, according to The Hill.
"Anything but that would be the height of hypocrisy."
Actually, it wouldn't be anything of the kind.
What McConnell did – and for which conservatives should be eternally grateful – is to refuse
to conduct Supreme Court nomination hearings in a presidential election year – and in
the final year of a president's second term, no less.
No matter who won the election in 2016, there was going to be a new president in 2017, and
McConnell argued that Americans should have a chance to select who that president was
going to be before allowing such a momentous decision to go forward.
The situation is not even close to the same now.
The upcoming elections are midterms, not presidential.
And it's the second year of an administration, not the eighth.
What Schumer is arguing – which his fellow Democrats and no doubt sympathetic media talking
heads will parrot – is that midterm elections, the choice of confirmation votes, is the same
as the presidency.
It's not.
Schumer knows it's not, and so does the rest of his party.
(And if they don't remember, there are plenty of Twitter users who will help them.)
But Schumer's hypocrisy doesn't stop there.
It was the Democrats' own thirst for unbridled power during their heyday in the Obama administration
that brought the party to the situation it's in now, with a president they despise about
to appoint a Supreme Court nominee who is all but certain to be approved by the Republican
Party in power.
If Democrats under then-Majority Leader Harry Reid had not changed the rules of the Senate
to destroy the filibuster in 2013 for all but Supreme Court nominations, they would
not be in the fix they are today.
They didn't care then.
They thought they had a Senate Democrat majority that would last forever, with a Democrat in
the White House to boot.
And that Democrat in the White House wanted to get rid of the filibusters to his appointments,
too.
That set the stage for McConnell's move last year to end the filibuster for Supreme
Court nominations and enable the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch.
In other words, when Democrats thought they had a lock on power, they changed the rules
to make that power absolute.
It didn't work out that way, of course.
A January 2017 report in the generally liberal The Atlantic gives a nice preview of where
that was going to lead in the Trump administration.
Now, those rules changes are coming back to double-cross them.
Where a minority party used to have the power to rein in the majority under the old filibuster
rules, the Democrats are essentially powerless.
They have only themselves to blame.
And Chuck Schumer, who publicly supported every one of the changes, who was literally
standing at Reid's side when he announced them, is crying that Republicans are guilty
of the "height of hypocrisy" for playing by the rules Democrats made.
Not surprisingly, he told The Atlantic writer he regrets that the Dems went as far as they
did.
Sure he does — now.
If anyone knows about hypocrisy, it's Chuck Schumer.

ROBERT MUELLER ANNOUNCEMENT – IT'S ALL OVER - Duration: 10:57.
ROBERT MUELLER ANNOUNCEMENT – IT'S ALL OVER
Despite him trying to claim otherwise, Robert Mueller's Russia investigation is extremely
biased.
Mueller's goal of the past year has been to stoke the fires of Donald Trump's impeachment.
And Robert Mueller just proved how deranged he is with a crazy statement.
In a shocking claim, Special Counsel Robert Mueller claimed that Russian intelligence
agencies are still interfering with the U.S. election process.
That's right; the same Robert Mueller who can't provide any substantial proof of collusion
between the Trump campaign and Russia is convinced that Russia is still interfering with the
election.
Robert Mueller has done everything in his power to make it seem like there was collusion
between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election, but under the slightest
scrutiny, it can quickly be disproven.
Despite toting multiple indictments of people close to Trump, Mueller and the media always
seem to fail to disclose that their indictments actually have nothing to do with Russia collusion.
The most recent arrest of Donald Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort actually
has to do with financial crimes, which have been accused back as far as 2008.
Regardless, the media has pushed his arrest as some sort of smoking gun proving that the
Trump campaign colluded with Russia.
In reality, evidence has not been provided of any collusion.
Despite this, Mueller believes that Russia is still meddling with elections today.
Mueller simply referred to the people he believes are engaging in election interference as "uncharged
individuals and entities."
He had no other evidence to provide besides that very broad claim.
This is just more proof of how desperate Mueller has become in his investigation to destroy
Donald Trump.
And while recent polling shows that much of America is turning on him, Democrats continue
to show massive support for Mueller's investigation.
That's because Democrats are banking on Robert Mueller providing enough evidence to
lead towards President Donald Trump's impeachment.
The number one goal of the Democrat party currently is to take down President Donald
Trump, and they look to Mueller as their savior in order to get that done.
They don't care about what President Trump has done; they hate him because he defeated
their anointed candidate Hillary Clinton.
It doesn't matter that President Trump is leading very successful negotiations with
North Korea that could lead towards denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
They don't even care that Trump has lowered taxes for most Americans because if Democrats
had it their way, taxes would have been raised dramatically.
Robert Mueller's Russia investigation is all that they have left to impeach President
Trump.
Because if you look at the President's actions he has continually served to make the lives
of everyday Americans better.
The Republican Party is stronger than almost ever before, and Trump's approval rating
is steadily climbing.
The upcoming midterm elections aren't looking good for Democrats, and it even appears that
Robert Mueller can't help them.
Do you think that Robert Mueller should end his Russia investigation?

Special Olympics: Creating a Global Movement of Inclusion - Duration: 4:17.
>> As Seattle gets ready to welcome
the 2018 Special Olympics USA Games,
we all have an important role to play in
creating a region of inclusion that welcomes everyone.
The games could be a galvanizing force
for greater awareness and
appreciation of what people with
intellectual disabilities can contribute.
>> We recently caught up with Tim Shriver,
Chairman of Special Olympics to learn more about
the history behind the games including how his mother,
Eunice Kennedy Shriver, turned her vision into
the world's foremost movement empowering people
with disabilities to show up and be seen.
>> Your family is
deeply involved in the Special Olympics,
can you tell us how it got started?
>> The Special Olympics Movement was started in Chicago,
1968 was the first games with a thousand people with
intellectual challenges on the field
claiming to be Olympic,
to be the best of humanity,
exactly the opposite of what the world had seen.
That moment in time had
its roots in the history of my mother's family,
one of her sister, Rosemary,
her older sister, was
born with an intellectual disability.
They grew up, my mom did especially with love of
her sister understanding of
the need in some ways to be protective,
but also with kind of a fierce determination to
change the culture that was around them,
which did not include their sister.
There were no schools, there
were no healthcare institutions,
there were no rehabilitation programs,
there were no employment support, there was nothing.
My mom's genius was to think we could use sports,
we could do what is so
intuitive and natural to all of us,
would just play together and by doing so we might
actually shift the culture
to emphasize inclusion for everybody,
the dignity of each human being.
>> Today, all of you young athletes are in the arena.
Many of you will win,
but even more important I know you will be
brave and bring credit
to your parents and to your country.
Let us begin the Olympics. Thank you.
>> So, one of the mottos
is "it's so much more than sports."
Can you talk about that and what the games mean to you?
>> We don't just do sports,
but we do inclusive early childhood,
inclusive schools, inclusive health programs,
we are the largest public health program in
the world for people with intellectual disabilities.
We teach what we call inclusive leadership.
What would it look like to become a leader if you
knew and understood the experiences
of those on the margins,
which is the gift our special needs
athletes bring to their peers into the culture.
I'd like us to think that every school in
America would have
a Special Olympics Unified Sports Team.
Let's celebrate the fact that sports can
be a platform where everybody can
claim their value not
their label of whatever separates us,
but their value as a contributing member of society.
>> Can you tell us a little bit about how the games
grew and evolved over the course of 50 years?
>> It's an amazing story Brad,
it's a story really mostly of volunteerism.
When we think of having five or six million athletes
involved in the movement every year,
99 percent of our workforce is volunteers
at civic organizations, faith-based institutions,
corporate partners who give their people the chance,
really the privilege of volunteering.
That's the story of our movement.
First, one country then 10,
then 20, then 30,
today 172 countries have
independent Special Olympics organizations,
110,000 games a year in little villages,
in the developing world,
and big cities like Seattle.
These games are all invitations for us to come
together to see in someone else goodness,
possibility, where maybe in
the past you'd seen something different.
That's no longer a person with
a disability, it's a point guard.
All of a sudden our hearts open
to some basic human value,
I think that's quite powerful.
>> As the premier partner for these USA games,
Microsoft is proud to join
with Special Olympics in bringing
our region together to create
more inclusive communities where everyone is welcome.

TREY GOWDY GOES ROGUE – UNLEASHES HELL ON ROBERT MUELLER - Duration: 10:54.
TREY GOWDY GOES ROGUE – UNLEASHES HELL ON ROBERT
MUELLER
Robert Mueller's witch hunt against the President is in deep trouble.
The bombshell Inspector General report exposed the corruption and anti-Trump bias that infested
the FBI officials involved in the Russia investigation.
And Trey Gowdy just put Mueller in a body bag with one jaw dropping attack.
Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz was back in front of Congress.
This time Horowitz testified in front of the House Oversight Committee, which is chaired
by Gowdy.
Gowdy opened the hearing by reading a prepared statement where he attacked the conduct of
FBI agents like Peter Strzok and other high ranking FBI officials who were determined
to let Clinton off the hook and give Donald Trump the third degree.
The Chairman stated:
"THESE EXACT SAME FBI AGENTS AND ATTORNEY PREJUDGED THE OUTCOME OF THE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION
BEFORE IT EVEN BEGAN,"
"IF PREJUDGING THE OUTCOME OF AN INVESTIGATION BEFORE IT ENDS AND PREJUDGING THE OUTCOME
OF AN INVESTIGATION BEFORE IT BEGINS IS NOT EVIDENCE OF OUTCOME DETERMINATIVE BIAS, FOR
THE LIFE OF ME I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD BE.
THAT IS TEXTBOOK BIAS."
"WE CAN'T SURVIVE WITH A JUSTICE SYSTEM WE DON'T TRUST,"
But Gowdy didn't stop there.
The South Carolina Republican dove right into Horowitz's findings.
And they were even worse than anyone thought.
Horowitz found an additional three FBI personnel – two agents and one lawyer – who also
expressed extreme anti-Trump bias.
And to make matters worse, they may have ended up working on the Mueller investigation.
The Mueller investigation really is the fruit of the poisonous tree.
Gowdy later appeared on Fox News and expanded on his criticism of the political bias that
formed the basis of the Russia investigation, stating:
"[PETER STRZOK] IS THE SAME GUY WHO SLEPT WALKED THROUGH THE @HILLARYCLINTON INVESTIGATION,
BUT THEN WOKE UP AND GOT REAL EXCITED AT THE PROSPECT OF ENDING THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN OR ENDING
THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY."
Gowdy is referring to the Inspector General's findings that Strzok slow walked the process
of obtaining a search warrant to gain access to Hillary Clinton's emails.
But while he sat on information that may have been damaging to Clinton, Strzok promised
Page in an August 2016 text message that they would "stop" Donald Trump from winning
the Presidency.
The timing of that message disturbed Gowdy and other Congressional investigators.
Strzok sent that text just days after opening "Crossfire Hurricane," which was the FBI's
investigation into alleged Russian collusion.
Given the Inspector General report and the ever-shifting origin story for the investigation,
it's becoming quite clear what the FBI used as the basis to begin the counterintelligence
investigation.
Never-Trump FBI officials like James Comey, Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok seized a thin
reed of "evidence" because in their minds, the Trump campaign was already guilty.
Political bias was the only way a fake news dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton could
make its way into a FISA warrant application.
The whole investigation is tainted by conspiracy theories about Russian collusion from anti-Trump
swamp fever group think.
Do you agree?

Top Congressman Dropped A Bombshell About The Date Impeachment Will Begin - Duration: 10:54.
Top Congressman Dropped A Bombshell About The Date Impeachment Will Begin
Rumors about impeachment have been swirling around Washington for month.
Suddenly, the talk has shifted from rumor to fact.
That's because one top Congressman dropped a bombshell about when impeachment proceedings
will begin.
North Carolina Congressman Mark Meadows is the Chair of the House Freedom Caucus.
Meadows also has a close relationship with President Donald Trump.
These two factors give him massive leverage in Congress.
Meadows has been one of the leaders in the fight to force the Department of Justice and
FBI into complying with Congresses document requests regarding their covert spying operations
against Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has fought Congress every step of the way.
Rosenstein has slow walked document requests and referred to the Congressional oversight
as "extortion."
Then last week, the FBI and Department of Justice claimed in a letter that they had
fully complied with Congresses request.
Meadows blasted this letter as a lie tweeting:
"THE DOJ CONTINUES TO INSIST THEY'VE COMPLIED WITH DOCUMENT REQUESTS WHEN THEY BLATANTLY
HAVE NOT.
THIS LETTER IS AN ART FORM IN CREATIVE WRITING."
In another interview, Meadows revealed that Congress was seeking 50,000 documents and
the Department of Justice turned over only 1,400.
This is not compliance by any definition, and Meadows wasn't content to just huff
and puff about it on social media or TV.
Meadows was interviewed on CNN and revealed that if the Department of Justice does not
fully comply with Congresses document request by July 6th, then he is fully prepared to
move ahead with impeachment proceedings against Rosenstein.
The North Carolina Congressman declared:
"I THINK INDEED IF ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS ARE NOT COMPLIED WITH BY JULY 6, PROVIDING
WE VOTE ON THAT RESOLUTION TOMORROW, WHICH I BELIEVE WE WILL DO, THE SPEAKER, AS INDICATED,
WE WILL VOTE ON THE HOUSE FLOOR TOMORROW ON THAT RESOLUTION.
IF THEY'RE NOT HERE BY JULY 6, THEN CERTAINLY CONTEMPT AND IMPEACHMENT WILL BE IN ORDER."
Trump supporters were thrilled to hear this news.
Rosenstein has been one of the Deep State's great enablers.
It was Rosenstein who selected Robert Mueller to be the special counsel in the Russia investigation.
And Rosenstein has allowed the Mueller probe to run amok instead of limiting it to the
mandated parameters of the investigation.
Now Rosenstein is creating a Constitutional crisis by refusing to respect the oversight
authority of Congress.
And while President Trump could order the Department of Justice to declassify and release
every document Congress has requested, his enemies in Washington and the press would
scream abuse of power.
Should Democrats take back Congress in November, they would use Trump's decision as grounds
to impeach him.
So that's why it's so important that patriots like Meadows are picking up the fight in Congress
and threatening to hold Rosenstein accountable.
Now the next step is getting Republican leadership – specifically Speaker Paul Ryan – on
board.

BREAKING IT'S OVER FOR JEFF SESSIONS - Duration: 10:57.
BREAKING IT'S OVER FOR JEFF SESSIONS
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has a big problem on his hands.
A key Deep State leaker was just indicted for lying about his scheme to end President
Trump.
Now everyone is asking one big question about Sessions and the answer could have his career
on the ropes.
Senate Intelligence Committee Director of Security James Wolf was indicted for lying
to FBI agents about his contacts with reporters after he leaked classified information about
former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
Wolf was engaged in a romantic relationship with then Buzzfeed and current New York Times
reporter Ali Watkins, and was allegedly leaking information to her about Page.
These stories fed the false narrative that Page – and the Trump campaign – colluded
with the Russians.
While Trump supporters cheered the indictment of Wolf as a blow to the Deep State, it raised
big questions about Sessions conduct.
Sessions has so far sat on criminal referrals against two other key Deep State players.
In January, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Senator Lindsey Graham
dispatched a memorandum to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher
Wray for a criminal referral for Christopher Steele, the ex-British intelligence agent
who was paid by the Democrats to put together the now controversial Russia dossier.
Grassley and Graham alleged that Steele lied to investigators, stating:
"BUT THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE SUGGESTING THAT MR.
STEELE MATERIALLY MISLED THE FBI ABOUT A KEY ASPECT OF HIS DOSSIER EFFORTS, ONE WHICH BEARS
ON HIS CREDIBILITY."
While much of the letter is blacked out, the unclassified portions of the referral memorandum
indicate Steele was not truthful with investigators about his contacts with reporters.
This memo was sent months ago and Trump supporters are wondering why no action was taken.
They are also questioning why no charges have been filed against former Deputy FBI Director
Andrew McCabe after the Department of Justice Inspector General found he misled investigators
on multiple occasions during the probe of the FBI's conduct in the Hillary Clinton
email investigation.
McCabe allegedly lied about a series of press leaks he engineered during the investigation.
So far, the Department of Justice has not yet acted on this referral either.
Trump supporters are wondering why these high-profile Deep State operatives have not been charged.
Is Sessions dropping the ball?
Or are there other factors at work?
President Trump – and millions of his supporters – have long questioned Sessions' decision
making.
FBI officials and Democrats have been given a free pass to lie and leak.
Trump has repeatedly tweeted that the Justice Department is allowing his opponents to break
the law while ruining the lives of his allies through legal fees and charges brought about
by the Mueller witch hunt.
Critics argue there cannot be two standards of justice in America – one for President
Trump and his allies – and one for the Deep State
and the "resistance."

Trump Ending It For All 'Non Citizens,' Panicked Illegals Deporting Themselves In Droves – America W - Duration: 12:18.
Trump Ending It For All 'Non-Citizens,' Panicked Illegals Deporting Themselves In
Droves – America Wins!
Progressive leftists consistently cite Americans as lacking compassion if they do not support
illegal immigration and open borders policies.
On the contrary, most Americans do not have an issue with immigration at all.
The issue lies in whether they have chosen jump our borders in defiance of U.S. immigration
laws or if they have chosen to go through legal channels.
Illegal aliens utilize benefits paid for with the tax dollars taken from hardworking American
citizens and intended for the use of American citizens.
Yet people who have never paid into the system are partaking of the benefits.
Leftists will argue that illegal aliens do not qualify for welfare, yet the facts do
not lie.
In a shocking new report from the Migration Policy Institute, it reveals that American
taxpayer-funded welfare is used by 10.3 million non-citizens!
More than half of all non-citizen children and teens in the United States are receiving
taxpayer-funded welfare, mostly Medicaid, while nearly half of all non-citizen adults
legally in the country are on welfare.
That is a staggering 54% of teens and children receiving some form of public welfare and
nearly half of adults.
The Census Bureau charted the growth in the use of taxpayer-funded programs for financially
poor new immigrants and found the biggest rise in the use of welfare, roughly triple
over the last 10 years.
According to an analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies, the use of Medicaid by
immigrants has gone up nearly as much.
According to the Migration Policy Institute –
"In a just-released study of welfare use by U.S. born Americans, naturalized citizens
and non-citizen aliens, the Migration Policy Institute found that of the 22 million non-citizens
in the country, 10.3 million are on at least one welfare program.
The report said that 54.2 percent of children and teens up to age 17 receive at least one
of four major public welfare benefits while its 46.3 percent for those aged 18-54 and
47.8 for older aliens.
By comparison, 32 percent of the U.S. born population of 270 million receive some welfare.
Of those, 45.8 percent are children and teens, 30 percent are aged 18-54 and 22.5 percent
are age 55 and older."
According to the Washington Examiner, the report is a warning that the current Trump
administration is following through with its campaign promises regarding immigration.
New rules are being considered making it significantly more difficult for illegal aliens to receive
a green card if they or one of their dependents are receiving Medicaid, cash welfare, food
stamps, and/or Social Security benefits.
MPI also revealed the Trump administration is considering changes in the standard for
when receipt of public benefits can be used as grounds for the deportation of legally
present noncitizens.
MPI states of the report significant key findings are:
Based on the experience of the 1990s immigration and welfare reforms, it is reasonable to expect
that the rule will discourage millions of immigrants from accessing health, nutrition,
and social services.
These "chilling effects" are likely to stretch beyond immigrants themselves to affect
U.S.-citizen children whose parents may disenroll them from services for fear of immigration
consequences.
These impacts are likely to weigh most heavily on states with large immigrant populations
and those with inclusive public-benefit policies, such as California and New York.
Further estimating the new draft proposed rules could and likely will significantly
reshape future legal immigration as it will give the Trump administration as well as that
of future administrations broad discretion to deny a much larger share of applications
from prospective immigrants as well as those already currently residing within U.S. borders
who are seeking a green card.
MPI estimates that the law would have a "chilling effect" on immigration and thereby cut welfare
use by aliens significantly
According to the report – "Although it is difficult to estimate precisely how many
people would alter their behavior in response to the proposed change in public-chart policy,
if immigrants' use patterns were to follow those observed during the late 1990s there
could be a decline of between 20 percent and 60 percent — and that even some members
of groups exempt from the new rule [e.g. refugees] would likely withdraw from public programs."
The Washington Examiner also reports
Steven Camarota, the center's director of research and the study's lead author, highlighted
those two Census data points in noting that it has happened despite the increase in education
levels for immigrants.
He also found that new immigrants are twice as likely to live in poverty as native-born
Americans.
According to a report entitled Better Educated, But Not Better Off from Steven Camarota, Director
of Research for the Center for Immigration Studies –
"The share of new immigrants in poverty was slightly higher in 2017 than in 2007,
and the gap with natives widened slightly.
Overall, new immigrants remained twice as likely to live in poverty as natives.
In 2007, 6 percent of new immigrants were on Medicaid; by 2017 it was 17 percent — an
11 percentage-point increase.
The share of natives on Medicaid increased from 7 percent to 13 percent — a six percentage-point
increase.
New immigrants are now more likely to use the program than natives.
The share of new immigrants living in households receiving food stamps roughly tripled from
4 percent to 13 percent from 2007 to 2017.
Among natives, food stamp use also increased, but not as much, from about 6 percent to 10
percent.
New immigrants are now more likely to live in a household on food stamps."
