The left wants names and addresses of jurors; what are we trying to hide in the corruption redactions? Names? They DID IT, so let's shine a light on them, punish them, and in the process DISCOURAGE FUTURE ILLEGAL ACTIVITY.

TOMORROW, I, along with Rep. Jim Jordan, Rep. Mark Meadows, Rep. Matt Gaetz and others, will be holding a press conference calling on President Trump to declassify and release the Carter Page FISA apps, Bruce Ohr's 302s, and more. Powers were abused, the FISA court was misled and we have ZERO tolerance for any of it!

Great 11 minute video! Glad to hear a Senator saying those things.
Seems like the NYTimes really buried the headline. They have uncovered a conspiracy, at high levels of our government, to undermine our elected government. In what world is that not headline worthy? Of course, there is another very likely possibility. It's very possible that this is all complete BS. Since when does a paper worth more than TP expect it's readers to give a rat's ass about the opinion of someone who refused to let their identity be known. One thing is a sure thing though. Either possibility shows the Times to be complicit in working against this administration.

Since the main driving force behind their "protests" walk around throwing food, assaulting innocent citizens...and wearing masks. That's when.

You will forgive me if I don't hold my breath...yet...
Yeah, I fully get the sentiment.
But....P45 has allowed the system (Congress, in this case) to do its job without any interference. And they (Zeldin, Gaetz, Meadows and Jordan ((and others)), in this case) have done their duties By. The. Book.
And have finally run out of options: The Deep State (which likely includes some others in Congress, unfortunately) continues to protect itself from the sunlight.
These four Reps are now reduced to using their last remaining bullet: A direct appeal to the Executive.
P45 is legally allowed to declassify, of course, and he's been dropping multiple MOAB-class hints lately (as recently as his tweet from this morning) that he's very much prepared to so, IF necessary.
P45 knows EVERYTHING. Unlike our last pResident, however, P45 is acting presidential ("What?!? Stop the presses!!!"), and allowing the system to work. Takes extra time, but lessens the odds of the perps eventually skating off to New Zealand or some such place with all their lovely parting gifts.

Let 'em skate. Don't want 'em, don't need 'em (and I'd be surprised if anyone else would take 'em!).
Whatever happened to all the asshats who were leaving the entertainment industry (Oprah?) and moving to Canada "if Trump gets elected"? Couldn't get through the borders? We need to SEND them. Don't LET them go, MAKE them go.
Interviewee on Fox News this morning was an ex-NBA player who'd lived in (I think he said) 14 countries on 5 continents - he said all these folks (Kapaernick in particular) who are protesting how "awful" the USA is, and how "oppressed" they are while being here - all those folks need to get a passport, and go visit the rest of the world.
THEN bitch about the USA...but he bets they won't feel so "oppressed" when they get back, after seeing what the rest of the world - the REAL world - really is like.

Respectfully disagree, amigo: If they're found guilty, the full weight of the law comes crashing down on their necks.
Did you happen to catch Judge Kavanaugh (SCOTUS confirmation hearing) being questioned yesterday regarding his knowledge of the law re: military tribunals?

U.S. Jobless Claims Declined to Fresh Post-1969 Low Last Week By Jeff Kearns - September 6th, 2018
U.S. filings for unemployment benefits fell last week to the lowest in almost five decades, indicating a tight job market, Labor Department figures showed Thursday.
Jobless claims decreased by 10k to 203k, the lowest since Dec. 1969 (est. 213k).
Four-week average of initial claims, a less-volatile measure than the weekly figure, declined to 209,500, also the lowest since Dec. 1969, from 212,250.

The "let 'em skate" comment was get 'em out of the country.
I agree - they should be prosecuted. But I also am skeptical that it'll actually happen. History shows, unfortunately, that these asshats not only don't get prosecuted, but they get re-elected until they decide to retire with a full pension, full security clearance, and countless book and consultation deals.
I would L-O-V-E to see them get prosecuted. But barring that, at least get them out of the country, surrounded by peole who could give two shits about who they are and what they did, and not get any book deals or cushy crap based on what they pulled while in our government.

The Deep State (not the right descriptor in this context, but you'll catch my drift) is GLOBAL, amigo.
There are plenty of places in this world where the baddies could live out their days living like rock stars (there's a reason I mentioned New Zealand...).
"Banish" is perhaps the word you're looking for. Yeah, I kinda/sorta get it. Haiti, maybe, or Colombia.
I'm all about justice. If we presently have traitors in our government, and if we have previously had traitors in our government, well, if convicted of such they should pay the price.
A question: As spectacular as P45 has been at keeping his promises and making America great again, do you think he's going to let possible traitors get away with their crimes?
Yeah, they'll fight him (we've been seeing this ever since he announced he was running for president, and the intensity level right now is Memorex-worthy), but who's the smartest man in the room, with all the intel at his fingertips, and the military (and 100,000,000+ patriotic Americans) standing proudly at his side?
We can't compare THIS president to any other in our lifetimes.

Press Conference: Lee Zeldin and Members of Congress Call on President Trump to Declassify Critical Documents CTH - Sep 6, 2018
On Thursday, September 6, 2018, Congressmen Lee Zeldin, Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Andy Biggs, Keith Rothfus, Jody Hice, Louie Gohmert, Brian Babin, Claudia Tenney, Scott DesJarlais and Scott Perry called on President Donald Trump to declassify and release the Carter Page FISA applications (including specifically pages 10-12 and 17-34 and relevant footnotes), all of the Bruce Ohr 302s and other relevant documents, including exculpatory evidence regarding Carter Page and others, that were presented to the Gang of Eight, but not presented to the FISA Court.
Everyone who is interested in the granular aspects of the DOJ and FBI corruption need to spend time watching this with a notepad. There’s a lot of new information, VERY important information, within this press conference. I’ll have more on it later.

Massive Collapse in Brand Image for Nike Following New Colin Kaepernick Branding Campaign CTH - Sep 6, 2018
Never before in the history of corporate branding decisions has a multi-billion dollar company had such a massive and swift drop of brand image as Nike. The results from Morning Consult Intelligence, a firm that specializes in monitoring and measuring the brand image and reputation for thousands of major companies, reflects a massive drop in brand image across every single demographic.
We suspected there would be a diminishment of brand image, but nothing like the scale discovered within the polled data:
quote:
The report features over 8,000 interviews conducted among American adults, including 1,694 interviews pre-campaign launch (8/26/18 – 9/3/18) and 5,481 interviews post-campaign launch (9/4/18 – 9/5/18).
Additionally, Morning Consult conducted a study among 1,168 adults in the U.S. about Nike’s ad and the decision to choose Kaepernick as the face of the campaign.
Nike’s favorability drops by double digits: Before the announcement, Nike had a net +69 favorable impression among consumers, it has now declined 34 points to +35 favorable:
There has been multiple similar stories about imminent firings and all sorts of turmoil since the start and they never got traction. This time the haters have tried to give it more veracity by “quoting “ a secret Senior official, but it’s still the same sort of fiction.
During President Trump's time in office, the economy has achieved feats most experts thought impossible. GDP is growing at a 3 percent-plus rate. The unemployment rate is near a 50-year low. Meanwhile, the stock market has jumped 27 percent amid a surge in corporate profits:
Friday brought another round of good news: Nonfarm payrolls rose by a better-than-expected 201,000 and wages, the last missing piece of the economic recovery, increased by 2.9 percent year over year to the highest level since April 2009. That made it the best gain since the recession ended in June 2009.
"I still believe the big story this year is an economic boom that most folks thought impossible," Larry Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council and a chief advisor to Trump, said in a recent interview with CNBC.com. "I understand that he's been in for a year and a half, but when you look at those numbers, this is not going away."
Indeed, the economy does seem to be on fire, and it's fairly easy to draw a straight line from Trump's policies to the current trends.
Business confidence is soaring, in part thanks to a softer regulatory environment. Consumer sentiment by one measure is at its highest level in 18 years. Corporate profits, owed in good part to last year's tax cuts, are coming close to setting records.
Each of those accomplishments can be tied either directly to new policies or at least indirectly through a brimming sense of hope from businesses that the White House is back on their side.
"When you look at those confidence indexes, they're telling you something," Kudlow said. "His attitude is, we're not punishing business, we're not punishing success, we want to make things easier to do business and to hire, and I think it's had a very positive effect and a very palpable effect."
At the same time, the unemployment rate is 3.9 percent, just one-tenth of a percentage point above the lowest level since 1969.
But there are some more telling figures about just how much progress has been made under Trump.
At a time when most economists had been using the term "full employment" to describe the economy, 3.9 million more Americans have joined the ranks of the working during the Trump term. During the same period under former President 0bama, employment had fallen by 2.6 million. The economy in total, while still not in breakout mode, has grown by $1.4 trillion through the second quarter under Trump; the same time period for 0bama saw a gain of just $481 billion, or a third of Trump's total.
Businesses are investing, consumers are spending and innovation is on the rise as well.
Trump pledged that he would pare down regulations that were choking business activity. The approach has won him converts in the business community.
The most recent reading from the National Federation of Independent Business was the second highest in history dating back 45 years. Small business owners reported aggressive hiring plans, the only obstacle to which has been a dearth of labor supply. The end of June saw 6.7 million job openings and just 6.6 million Americans classified as unemployed, an unprecedented imbalance.
"Expansion continues to be a priority for small businesses who show no signs of slowing as they anticipate more sales and better business conditions." NFIB President and CEO Juanita Duggan said in a statement.
Bob Mueller must be proud. A 14-day sentence for a young, junior campaign volunteer. Yet Mueller won’t investigate his longtime friend who defrauded FISC judges in order to spy, stole government documents & leaked them to trigger the special counsel. The corrupted world of Bob Mueller.

US Oil Exports Hit New Records By John Siciliano - September 07, 2018
U.S. oil exports reached new soaring heights in the first six months of 2018, with half of all exports going to Europe and Asia and India shoring up the rest, according to new data from the federal government.
U.S. crude oil exports saw an 80 percent increase in the first half of 2018 compared to the same period last year, according to the latest data and analysis issued Thursday by the Energy Information Administration.
That's an increase of 787,000 barrels per day, to set a new monthly record in June of 2.2 million barrels on average per day.
The largest recipients of U.S. oil were in Asia, with U.S. crude oil exports to China more than doubling in the first six months of the year. U.S. crude oil to China grew by 193,000 barrels per day compared to the first half of 2017.
But U.S. oil exports to other countries in the region also rose significantly. Exports to South Korea and India jumped 81,000 barrels per days and 72,000 barrels per day, respectively, from the previous year.
Right behind the Asia market, Europe was the second-largest market for U.S. crude oil exports in the first half of the year. The continent received 555,000 barrels per day.

The Democrats conducted a sorry performance this week during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings.
Along with a supporting cast of obnoxious and vociferous protesters, there were groups of woman dressed oddly in red costumes and wearing bonnets. The ‘handmaids’ were there to show their support for taxpayer-funded abortions as well as to show silent contempt for Kavanaugh. There is evidence that these people were paid to protest Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court, the extremely qualified Brett Kavanaugh.
The junior senator from New Jersey, Cory Booker, made a gaudy show of himself when he claimed he would break Senate rules by releasing documents pertaining to Kavanaugh, even though Republicans claimed those documents had already been cleared. Booker presumably will make a run for the presidency, hence his ostentatious virtue signaling.
The Democrats are full of sound and fury but short on facts and truth.
The Democrats are the party of the Deep State Swamp.
They’ve made it clear that they will oppose Trump no matter what. They’re playing an ugly, dangerous tune. To many of us, it sounds like sedition.

-- President Donald J. Trump, 11:45 AM - Sep 8, 2018
Interesting snip from this Clarice Feldman article this morning at American Thinker:
quote:
In the meantime, Barack 0bama has hit the campaign trail violating the tradition that ex-presidents keep silent about those who follow them (a tradition G.W. Bush followed during 0bama's eight years and then also violated after his brother lost the nomination). Reprising his logic-free, emotional straw-man gambits, 0bama attacked the president. This, the insane Kavanaugh hearing display, the Woodward book, and the anonymous op-ed all make me think the curtain is about to fall on the opposition party, the media and their lies. Conrad Black thinks so, too.
Black suggests that Trump, having made Sessions the hero to the Democrats by publicly attacking his recusal and sloth, will leave them hard pressed to attack him when Sessions's appointee John Huber brings charges against those former officials in the FBI and CIA who manipulated FISA to spy on the Trump campaign and the many people implicated in the Clinton foundation-Uranium One scandals, which the previous administration swept aside.
