Whoopi and Behar STILL in Denial Over Clinton Election Loss to Trump

September 9, 2017 by Daniel

The View hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar admitted they were still in denial over Hillary Clinton’s loss to Trump.

It seriously begs the question, and I’d like to quote Clinton herself, ‘At this point, what difference does it make?’

Honestly. To what end will the blame be rather than admit she was the problem and it was her that lost.

We’ve blamed almost everyone and everything. We’ve blamed it on Russia. We’ve blamed it on the DNC party. We’ve blamed websites and news outlets.

The fact that we’re still even talking about this is… How does Trump put it? #SAD

Some not-so-interesting quotes from the video should you not wish to stab your eardrums at the sound of their voices:

Whoopi –

But let’s be realistic. Do you really think she was going to win? Based on everything that the Democrats did when they let Obama — left him out there floating and the flotsam and jetsam and all this stuff that Fox News did and all those folks. You know, there have been very few eight years of one party and eight years of the same party. It doesn’t generally go back to back. The last time I think was Nixon and whoever came in after him was the last. Ford. And he pardoned. That was the last time we had a long stretch. When it wasn’t Democrat, Republican, Democrat Republican. So given all the crap that Obama had to eat from his own party, I don’t think Bernie was going to — I don’t think any Democrat was going to–people were going to vote —

Whoopi on the idea that there was some sort of secret as to why Clinton would lose –

I believe that was not going to happen. The truth of the matter is, if this election happened in any other country the way it happened here, we would have sent people to go and check. To see what was going on.

Behar taking a page from Clinton’s book on playing the blame game –

But don’t forget the things that we do know are that Comey released this information about her two weeks or a week before the election. That was very detrimental to her campaign and everybody who was on the fence said well — and they’re saying crooked Hillary. And they’re saying ‘Oh yeah crooked Hillary’ and he confirms it in a way and he says nothing about the Trump investigation and then you have the Russians interfering with our election. There were so many things that went against her that I think she has every right to write a book and speak about it.

Exchange between hosts that it was rigged –

FARIS: I think at some point you also have to take responsibility and I think if she would say, you know what, I lost fair and square, I think the problem is —

WHOOPI: But we don’t know that she did lose fair and square. See that’s the thing. That’s what I’m saying.

FARIS: Hence when you play a game, you’re gracious in victory and you’re gracious in defeat. There’s nothing more annoying when you start to blame everybody else. You need to take some responsibility for what you did on the field.

WHOOPI: But your children aren’t playing on a game field where the parents are coming and hitting the ball for them. And then saying we won. My simple point is this, had this election happened anywhere else the way it did, we as America would have gone in to check and see all the checks and balances. We’ll never know what happened and now is the time for her to say ‘this is how I feel about what went on and I don’t like this happened and this is how I feel and this is how it felt to me. This is how I see it’ and she has a right to do that.

Overtime Push to Swear in New ‘Citizen Voters’ Before Election

September 22, 2016 by Daniel

An internal Obama administration email shows immigration officials may be literally working overtime to swear in as many new “citizen voters” as possible before the Nov. 8 presidential election, a powerful lawmaker charged Thursday.

The email, from a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services field office chief and part of a chain of correspondence within the agency, urges the unnamed recipient to swear in as many citizens as possible “due to the election year.”

“The Field Office due to the election year needs to process as many of their N-400 cases as possible between now and FY 2016,” reads the email, which was disclosed to FoxNews.com by Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., who chairs the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

“If you have cases in this category or other pending, you are encouraged to take advantage of the OT if you can,” the email continues. “This will be an opportunity to move your pending naturalization cases. If you have not volunteered for OT, please consider and let me know if you are interested.”

“Considering that USCIS already has a troubling record of inadequate review of naturalization applications, and mistakenly giving away citizenship to terrorists, criminals and other fraudsters, it is disturbing that they are now in full and blind rubber stamp mode to crank out new citizens,” said Jessica Vaughan, director of Policy Studies for the Center for Immigration Studies.

In a USCIS planning document submitted to Congress earlier this year, USCIS reported it expected to receive 828,000 total applications this year, up from a planned 815,000 last year, an increase of 13,000, Vaughan said.

The effort is reminiscent of a similar bid to bring in new voters when Bill Clinton ran for re-election in 1996, said Claude Arnold, a retired U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations.

“I am not at all surprised by this revelation,” Arnold said. “This is a repeat of the Clinton election playbook. Then it was to help re-elect Bill Clinton, this time it is to help elect Hillary Clinton.”

Zach Galifianakis Joined by Hillary Clinton on Between Two Ferns

September 22, 2016 by Daniel

The Funny or Die website released a comedic interview between Zach Galifianakis and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Between Two Ferns.

This interview is riddled with jokes from start to finish. Nothing was spared. The economy, T.P.P., Donald Trump, and, yes, even emails were among the topics covered.

Let’s just say this… love her or hate her, you’ll be glad you watched it.

Trump Campaign Shakeup: Manafort Demoted; Breitbart Chief Hired

August 17, 2016 by Daniel

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who has slipped in the polls in recent weeks, has shaken up his campaign again.

The billionaire real estate mogul is bringing in Stephen Bannon of Breitbart News as chief executive officer — effectively demoting campaign Chairman Paul Manafort — and promoting pollster Kellyanne Conway to campaign manager.

“I’ve known both of them for a long time. They’re terrific people, they’re winners, they’re champs, and we need to win it,” Trump told The Associated Press in a phone interview early Wednesday.

The move comes just 82 days before the November election and represents yet another overhaul of Trump’s tumultuous quest for the White House.

In confirming the campaign overhaul, Trump called Bannon and Conway “big people” who can help him defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton in November.

Reince Priebus: ‘90% of Republicans are on board’ with Donald Trump

July 30, 2016 by Daniel

RNC chairman Reince Priebus joined Tucker Carlson who was filling in on Hannity to discuss the DNC convention.

Tucker questioned Priebus on the notion that if Donald Trump loses, will it be because the party didn’t get behind him and unite.

Reince replied: Look, 90 percent of Republicans are on board. You have a handful of people that aren’t. They should be on board. They have agreed to be on board. They’re not on board. They should get on board. But I actually think when you look at these two parties right now you have two huge change movements happening within both parties. The difference is the Republican party has chosen the change movement candidate in Donald Trump. The Democrats chose the status quo entity in their party. I think… they’re going to lose support.

Here’s where I differ with Reince: both parties are extremely divided. I agree in saying that the RNC has picked the candidate of ‘change,’ and also in that the DNC has picked the status quo. But the only ‘change’ the RNC made in picking Trump is that he is further left than any of the other choices. However, back to my main point: both parties are divided. There isn’t much unity at all on either side. Democrats are split between the status quo and an even harder left by way of Bernie Sanders. And the republicans? They are split with conservatives versus those taking a left turn with Donald Trump at the wheel. Many of those conservatives are feeling ‘party homeless.’ And I’d venture to say those in the Sanders camp feel the same way.

Peter Roskam’s Comment at Benghazi News Conf. is Spot On

June 28, 2016 by Daniel

During a news conference, Peter Roskam of the Benghazi committee said, “If we are going to ask Americans to put themselves at risk in the future, we’ve got to remedy this – all of us.”

He couldn’t be any more correct! This is something we absolutely must remedy.

Think about it what he said in context to the 2016 election.

During the Benghazi attack, Hillary Clinton was the Secretary of State. It happened under her watch. Did she answer the 3:00 am phone call? Nope.

She, along with many others in the Obama administration, sat and watched it happen.

Then… then they came up with the crazy idea that it was a spontaneous protest that resulted from a YouTube video!

And now she’s the presumptive nominee for the Democrat party?

So, let me state what Roskam said again, “If we are going to ask Americans to put themselves at risk in the future, we’ve got to remedy this – all of us.”

ALL IN: Adelson to bet BIG on Trump

May 14, 2016 by Daniel

The casino magnate Sheldon G. Adelson told Donald J. Trump in a private meeting last week that he was willing to contribute more to help elect him than he has to any previous campaign, a sum that could exceed $100 million, according to two Republicans with direct knowledge of Mr. Adelson’s commitment.

As significant, Mr. Adelson, a billionaire based in Las Vegas, has decided that he will significantly scale back his giving to congressional Republicans and direct most of his contributions to groups dedicated to Mr. Trump’s campaign. The two Republicans familiar with Mr. Adelson’s plans spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

Mr. Adelson’s pledge to Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, comes at an opportune time. Mr. Trump has relied on a mix of his own wealth and small-dollar contributions to finance his primary effort and lacks the sort of major donor network needed to sustain him in the general election. Mr. Trump has said that he may need $1 billion for the campaign but has only recently begun scheduling fund-raisers and hiring finance staff members. Many of the Republican Party’s wealthiest contributors, including the billionaire brothers Charles G. and David H. Koch, have indicated they are unlikely to give to his candidacy.

What remains unclear is how Mr. Adelson plans to contribute his money to Mr. Trump. He will give the maximum allowed to Mr. Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee, but to spend the amount he contemplates would require donating through a “super PAC,” able to accept unlimited donations.

According to the Republicans familiar with Mr. Adelson’s planning, he and his advisers are still uncertain about which super PAC to use as their vehicle for the bulk of the contributions.

Bible Verse That Influenced Trump Contrary to Teachings from Jesus

April 14, 2016 by Daniel

donald trump bible verse

During an interview, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was questioned about ‘a favorite Bible verse or Bible story that informed [his] thinking or character through life.’

Trump responded, “Well, I think many. I mean, when we get into the Bible, I think many, so many. And some people, look, an eye for an eye, you can almost say that. That’s not a particularly nice thing. But you know, if you look at what’s happening to our country, I mean, when you see what’s going on with our country, how people are taking advantage of us, and how they scoff at us and laugh at us. And they laugh at our face, and they’re taking our jobs, they’re taking our money, they’re taking the health of our country. And we have to be firm and have to be very strong. And we can learn a lot from the Bible, that I can tell you.”

What did Jesus teach?

Matthew 5:38-39 King James Version (KJV)

38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

TSV101 – Who’s Really To Blame For The Trump Rally Protests

March 14, 2016 by Daniel

Protests at a Trump rally? Say it’s not so.

Come on, you’ve got to admit it was only a matter of time before all the Trump-mania started to catch up to him.

But is it all Trumps fault? Or are others to blame? I would venture to say it’s a little bit of both.

Trump isn’t free and clear with this one. Despite the fact that George Soros funded MoveOn.org and the Black Lives Matter movement planned, organized, and successfully carried out a protest at a Chicago Trump rally does not remove all responsibility from him.

How so? Why would their actions fall on Trump?

We need to take a journey in our little time machine back to a press conference Trump held in August of 2015. To put his comments into context you need to be reminded that just days before, democrat candidate Bernie Sanders was holding a rally in Seattle when two Black Lives Matter protesters stormed the stage taking control of his microphone.

Trump’s response?

See, Trump isn’t shy when it comes to being confrontational. In fact, he’s been pretty open about telling his supporters what to do if protestors show up.

He’d like to punch the protesters in the face? Telling supporters to knock the crap out of them? Even offering to pay their legal fees?

And we wonder why Trump is drawing in protesters? Maybe, just maybe, they are interested in seeing if he’ll follow through.

The Black Lives Matter group doesn’t shy away from violent protests. We’ve all witnessed their ends of destruction. But that doesn’t mean it’s okay.

What else isn’t okay are all the people and candidates out there saying this is a violation of the first amendment. Seriously? That’s a stretch. I mean, if anything at all it’s a close violation of being able to freely assemble.

Black Lives Matter and MoveOn.org have just as much right to assemble as Trump does.

However, you can’t intrude on someone else trying to peaceably assemble in order to exercise one’s right to speak freely.

And, the more I have thought about it, all of these candidates have put themselves out in the public eye, and each of them have had their fair share of hecklers and protesters. These things happen, and it just depends on who can make the most noise.

It’s no secret Trump knows how to make noise. He’s been making tons of noise.

But it’s really sad when these two groups of people go out protesting a guy who is talking about creating jobs so they can actually afford things in life instead of freeloading off the government.

That’s right. These same protesters are supporting candidates promising loads of free stuff. Health care. College. Sanders is out there promising an ‘honest’ wage. Nevermind the economic impact and strain this would put on the middle class.

Let’s not get off topic. Is Trump to blame or not? Yes and no.

He’s, and I’m being honest here, he’s really the only one getting attention on both sides. Whether you like it or not, his shotgun approach is appealing to many. He hits on so many areas on the target, it looks like it was shot at with a shotgun. So, while you may agree with him on a few things, others will agree on totally different issues. And the same goes with those on the left that he’s attracting.

So yes, he’s bringing some of this on himself.

There’s an entire movement to stop him from being elected, and it’s coming from both sides. As many republicans who are trying to stop Trump, democrats are doing the same thing. It’s part of why the large-scale protests are happening.

They don’t want him to be able to get his message out. And, really, if you don’t agree with his message, that’s not enough to silence him or his supporters.

If you don’t agree with him, don’t detract from someone else who is trying to see what he’s all about. Just educate and inform them on the facts.
