I still think, that the Dems could have 100% of the Congress, 100% of the Supreme Court, and 100% of
the Executive branch and still would be complaining. Only good think from them trying take down the President,
is they don't have time to pass bull shit lows.

1607Peter: “I care less about the facts. I just want to hear what I want to hear!”
HB: OK, sorry to bother you with the facts. You be you.
I can give you countless times the Democrats and the liberal media have lied and been wrong the last few years. Brian Ross damn near crashed the stock market and cost the American people everything with his nonsense.
Hell, I can ramble on for an hour about climate change alone.
You let me know when Miami and Manhattan are under water and we are engaged in a huge famine, cause that is what liberals and the media was saying was going to happen by 2015 if we didn’t address climate change. I posted the ABC News footage in this folder a while back. I’m sure you didn’t bother watching. You love your head buried in the sand.
Liberals have zero credibility with science. Just because you say the science is settled does not make it so. If it were settled your scientists wouldn’t get caught doctoring figures and releasing debunked hockey stick graphs. All you have are lies, which is the total norm.

Re: Politics
1608You see what I did up there with Peter's words? That's called a "parody". Adam Schiff says it's totally cool to make up stuff and act like someone said it when they didn't, so it's all good.
Peter, what you posted was not facts. It is what the democrats said. I wanted to post what the republicans said of that.
You know, if somebody comes here and posts something with a point of view that might be slanted, somebody else should be able to come here and post the countering point of view. No problem.
If I come here and say Donald Trump is the best Jobs President ever. That he has added 6.5 million jobs. Over half a million of those were manufacturing jobs. That there are more people in the job force than ever before. That millions are off welfare and food stamps since he was elected. That unemployment is at it's lowest rate in over 50 years. That minority unemployment is at it's lowest rate in over 50 years. That womens unemployment rate is lost in over 65 years. Etc...
What if someone around here had a problem with that. What if they had an argument that Obama actually had alot to do with creating those jobs. I don't know why they would think that, because Obama said those manufacturing jobs weren't coming back. He said Trump must have a magic wand if he thought he could bring those jobs backs. But regardless, what if someone believed that. They should be able to come here and post their counter point of view without anybody getting their panties in a wad.
Peter, what you posted was not facts. It is what the democrats said. I wanted to post what the republicans said of that.
It does not shock me in the least that it ticks you off that I did that. Because liberals are the biggest fascists around.
Liberals are constantly calling conservatives fascist. Bush was a fascist. Trump is a fascist. But like everything else, whatever democrats are accusing you of, you can damn sure bet they are doing it themselves.
They would have liked nothing more than to pass the Fairness Doctrine that many of them were peddling when Obama was elected, and to shut up conservative talk radio, Fox News, Breitbart News, etc, for good.
When was the last time you heard a GOP lawmaker call for shutting down all liberal main stream news sources? That would be never. We point out their bias, and wish they'd do better, but never float legislation to put them out of business!!
And never has a republican president had journalists surveilled like Obama did to a few journalists!
Peter, what you posted was not the facts. Democrats hand selected a few comments out of many to make it look a certain way. That is the facts. And when you come here and post garbage like that I will call you out every time. And believe me, I care less whether you like it or not. This is a forum for all views. Not a fascist liberal playground. You want to post garbage unchallenged go to Slate or Daily Kos or some such.

Re: Politics
1610And yet you blow a gasket whenever anyone responds to your propaganda. I get it. The host of ugly truths about Trump hurt those who want to believe in him as some kind of savior. Anyone who can criticize what Schiff obviously said as hyperbole (and admittedly so) without addressing Trumps' actual non-stop lying and abuses of power (that he NEVER admits) is not seeking to provide objective balance. The article I copied backs up what it says with links to actual evidence. I invite anyone who actually wants to know the facts to read it and the links on-line. Even Fox's few true news reporters understand that Trump is very much on the wrong side of the law on this.You know, if somebody comes here and posts something with a point of view that might be slanted, somebody else should be able to come here and post the countering point of view. No problem.
Re: Politics
1611Peter, you really should change your language. From ugly truths to ugly accusations. Cause that is all you guys do. Accuse him of everything but never prove anything.
Oh wait, I forgot, Adam Schiff has definite proof that Trump colluded with Russia. He said so for 2 years. He just never showed it to anybody.
He really should be censures and removed for colluding to keep Trump President.

Re: Politics
1612I’m a simple man, so I have a simple questions. Maybe a well informed genius like Peter can answer it for me.
1- if the quotes from Volker’s texts really do paint the picture that Schiff and Democrats claim they do, why won’t they release his full testimony to the public like the GOP have asked?
It isn’t top secret. It isn’t a matter of national security. No way confidential.
The GOP says they cherry picked certain sentences and used them out of context to make Trump look bad and asked for full transcript to be released. The Democrats will not release it. Why is that you think? They have a great opportunity to make the GOP look bad, look like liars. All they have to do is share it. Schiff leaks everything else he gets his hands on, why not this?
The answer is the GOP are not lying, the Democrats are. Period.

1613An angry House GOP met with the press again yesterday, calling Adam Schiff a liar, once again refuting the cherry picked leaked texts, and once again asking for the full transcript of Volker's testimony be released so everyopne could see the shady shit democrats did with those leaked texts.
Day has went by, still not released.
Be a great opportunity to score some political points over the GOP if they are lying. Just have to release the transcript.
They never will though because the GOP are telling the truth.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Wednesday demanded that House Democrat leaders release the full transcript of the testimony provided by the impeachment inquiry’s first witness, former U.S. special envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker.
Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, threatened to call Volker to testify before his panel if Democrats did not meet his demand.
Volker is at the center of the impeachment investigation. He resigned as the special envoy to Ukraine at the end of last month as the inquiry began to heat up.
Sen. Graham described the House Democrats’ refusal to make the full transcript of Volker’s deposition last Thursday public as “an abuse of power.”
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and other Republican congressmen who witnessed Volker’s testimony have called on Democrats to release the transcript.
Jordan is the top Republican of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. The Democrat-led House Committees on Oversight and Reform, Intelligence, and Foreign Affairs are pursuing the impeachment inquiry.
Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) said the full transcript of Volker’s testimony “obliterated” the “whistleblower’s” claim fueling the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
The comments from Zeldin, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee who also witnessed Volker’s testimony, came while he was briefing reporters alongside Jordan.
Citing a Fox News story highlighting the Democrats’ refusal to releae the transcript, Sen. Graham wrote on Twitter Wednesday,
If this continues, I will call Volker before the Senate Judiciary Committee to testify publicly to ensure the full story is told.
— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) October 9, 2019
If House D’s refuse to release full transcript of Volker testimony as requested by Congressman Jordan, it will be an abuse of power.

For more than 50 years Climate Alarmists in the scientific community and environmental movement have not gotten even one prediction correct, but they do have a perfect record of getting 41 predictions wrong.
In other words, on at least 41 occasions, these so-called experts have predicted some terrible environmental catastrophe was imminent … and it never happened.
And not once — not even once! — have these alarmists had one of their predictions come true.
Think about that… the so-called experts are 0-41 with their predictions, but those of us who are skeptical of “expert” prediction number 42, the one that says that if we don’t immediately convert to socialism and allow Alexandria Ocasio-Crazy to control and organize our lives, the planet will become uninhabitable.
Why would any sane person listen to someone with a 0-41 record?
Why would we completely restructure our economy and sacrifice our personal freedom for “experts” who are 0-41, who have never once gotten it right?
If you had an investment counselor who steered you wrong 41 times, would you hang in there for number 42?
Of course not. You’d fire him after failed prediction two or three.
And if that’s not crazy enough, the latest ploy is to trot out a 16-year-old girl to spread prediction number 42, because it is so much more credible that way.
Sometimes you just have to sit back and laugh.

Re: Politics
1616Expectations for real incomes among American public hit the highest level that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has ever tracked in its monthly Survey of Consumer Expectations.
The central bank said that in September expectations for inflation one year ahead rose slightly to 2.48 percent from 2.41 percent a month earlier. At the same time, expectations for earnings jumped to 2.54 percent from 2.26 percent.
As a result, inflation-adjusted earnings expectations turned positive, rising to 0.06 percent. That might not seem like a huge positive but it is a record high in a metric that rarely even registers a figure above zero.

HONG KONG—Citizens oppressed by the totalitarian Chinese government have issued an apology after making life difficult for NBA players over the past week.
"Look, we never meant to make your lives difficult---we are so, so sorry," said a representative for Chinese dissenters. His name has been withheld to protect him from imprisonment or execution by authorities. "We never realized just how hard it was to throw a ball through a hoop and make millions of dollars."
Oppressed Chinese citizens admitted that their constant fear of being punished by their corrupt Communist government is nothing compared with the concerns of tweeting a couple things that might get some backlash, or losing a percentage of your profits because you spoke up against totalitarianism. From protesters in the semi-autonomous Hong Kong to the underground church in China, Chinese people from all walks of life offered their deepest apologies for being insensitive to the struggles of being a rich basketball player.
"It was wrong of us to minimize the hurt and pain felt by LeBron James, whose net worth is around half a billion dollars," said the representative. "In fact, I would go so far as to say---"
Unfortunately, his communication with us was cut off as he was apprehended by Hong Kong police.

1618Canadian Professor Lost Her Job for Telling the Truth About ‘Endangered’ Polar Bears
A Canadian university has frozen a zoologist out of her adjunct professor post as punishment for saying the unsayable about polar bears: that populations are thriving; that they are not endangered; that stories about how they are being caused to starve by melting summer sea ice are junk science and Fake News.
Dr Susan Crockford is one of the world’s leading experts on polar bears and had held her post as Adjunct Professor at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada for 15 years.
But by speaking the truth about polar bears she fell foul of environmental activists who have long treated Ursus maritimus as one of the poster children for their “the Earth is doomed and it’s all our fault” narrative. As a result, without explanation, Crockford was ousted from her position at the university.
In an interview with Crockford this week I ask: ‘Do you think you’ve been blacklisted for telling inconvenient truths?’
She replies: “Oh I absolutely do.”
Crockford’s “crime” was to point out that contrary to environmentalists’ computer projections, polar bear populations have increased, not decreased — despite “global warming”.
“What happened was that in 2007 there was a prediction that when sea ice declined to about 42 per cent below what it would have been in 1979 that two-thirds of the polar bears in the world would be gone. That would be 10 out of the 19 sub populations that exist. But what has happened, we find from research, is that bear numbers have not gone down but in fact have gone up by at least 16 per cent and probably more."
The “polar bears starving because of melting sea ice” story has been a staple of the green scare narrative.
In 2017, for example, footage of an emaciated polar bear rummaging pitifully through trash cans became a huge international story.
The video for National Geographic attracted over two million views. It was set to tear-jerking music and accompanied by the utterly dishonest and misleading message “This is what climate change looks like.”
In fact, as Crockford explains, this was the purest green Fake News.
“Starving is the leading natural cause of death for polar bears. It just happens.”
If the polar bear was starving to death, it was likely the result of its being old or sick — not because of melting summer sea ice.
Crockford says:
“Polar bears do most of their feeding in the spring time, not the summer. Starving polar bears don’t tell us anything about populations.”

1619So American troops killed the ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, this weekend.
This was a vicious savage subhuman guy. A true psychopath. He would kidnap, rape, torture. He liked to crucify people, literally. He would burn you alive. As the savage goat lovers go, this guy was the worst of the worst.
So how does Peter's favorite paper, the Washington (com)Post report the great news??
With the following headline ....
‘Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, austere religious scholar at the helm of Islamic State, dies at 48’
Disgusting.
But why is the propaganda arm of the democratic party doing something like this? They've since changed it, but damn. Interesting glimpse into their latest propaganda.
Internet does what internet does, and made made hilarious fun of them ...

Re: Politics
1620Job creation was much stronger than expected in October.
The U.S. economy added 128,000 jobs for the month.
Economists had expected the economy to add 75,000 jobs, with forecasts as low as 55,000.
Prior months were revised upward, indicating that the labor market has been much stronger than initial reports suggested. August’s initial 168,000 was revised up to 219,000. September’s soared from 136,000 to 180,000. Those revisions brought the three-month average up to 176,000.
The strength of the labor market was even more impressive because of the drag created by the GM strike and the government shedding workers it hired to conduct the census. The manufacturing sector shed 37,000 jobs in the month, many of which economists expect will be added back now that GM workers are back on the job. The government cut back by 17,000 jobs.
The pace of average hourly earnings rose by one-tenth of a percent to a year-over-year 3 percent gain. The average workweek was unchanged at 34.4 hours.

The unemployment rate for African Americans fell to 5.4 percent in October, the lowest level on record.
This is the third consecutive month of record-low unemployment. September’s 5.5 percent matched the record set in August.
The unemployment rate for black men hit a record low of 5.1 percent, down three-tenths from the month prior. That was lower than the previous record low of 5.2 set in December 1973.
The unemployment rate for black women was 4.8 percent, up two-tenths from September.
