$50 lesson
Perhaps our younger generation is beginning to think a little... A $50
Lesson:
Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front yard, my
neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog.
During our friendly conversation, I asked their little girl what she wanted
to be when she grew up.
She said she wanted to be President someday.
Both of her parents, Democratic Party members, were standing there so I
asked her, "If you were President what would be the first thing you would
do?"
She replied... "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people."
Her parents beamed with pride! "Wow...what a worthy goal!" I said..."But you
don't have to wait until you're President to do that!"
"What do you mean?" she replied. So I told her, "You can come over to my
house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and trim my hedge, and I'll pay you $50.
Then you can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out,
and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house."
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the
eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and
you can just pay him the $50?"
I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."
Her parents aren't speaking to me anymore.

Grapes of wrath: wine bar owners sue Trump over unfair competition
Khalid Pitts and Diane Gross file a lawsuit against Trump and Old Post Office hotel, asking Trump to resign or close establishment while in office

I'm sure they have a rock solid case.
Because every time a Wendy's opens across the street from a McDonalds a lawsuit takes place.
----------------------------------
How do you compete with a restaurant at Donald Trump’s hotel down the road from the White House? Two Washington restaurateurs argue you can’t and have sued him over it.
The plaintiffs are Khalid Pitts and Diane Gross, who own Cork Wine Bar and Cork Market & Tasting Room.
They allege unfair competition under local law and have filed a lawsuit against Trump personally and the Trump Old Post Office LLC, which operates the hotel.
They aren’t seeking monetary damages but are asking Trump to remedy the unfair competition by resigning, divesting from the hotel or closing it while he’s president. Pitts and Gross are represented by business and government watchdog [Democrat] attorneys who say they are working for free.
I'm sure Trump is shaking in his boots.
Alan Garten, lead attorney for the Trump Organization, dismissed the lawsuit as “a wild publicity stunt completely lacking in legal merit”. Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen, couldn’t immediately be reached.
Pitts is politically active, having run in 2014 as an independent for a seat on the DC council. Prior to that race, he was registered as a Democrat. He previously did work for the Service Employees International Union. Gross, a lawyer, worked from 2003 to 2005 for the former senator Barbara Mikulski, a Maryland Democrat.
Pitts said the couple’s political leanings were “irrelevant”. He said his dining, catering and events business was down since Trump took office, but he declined to give details. Cork Wine Bar has about 70 seats.
Under constitutional immunity protections, Trump cannot be sued over official acts in the Oval Office. But he can be named in lawsuits for personal actions or those involving his businesses.
Trump turned over management of his companies to his two adult sons and a senior company executive. He retains ownership of his global business empire, which includes the hotel.

If these assholes are worried about business... they just pissed of 50% of their customer base.
This is their website.
If you're a Republican perhaps you would like to drop them a line.

'President Obama would not do that': Pelosi says Trump's wiretapping claim 'couldn't possibly be true'- and FBI Director Comey should come out and say so
Before you read this. Remember what the 'Rock Solid Authority On All Things' said about Trump prior to the election.
And also recommended voting for ObamaCare to find out what's in it. And I would pay $375,000 for a home based solely on a photo of the front door.
--------------------------------------
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi says there's no way that former President Barack Obama had Donald Trump wiretapped in the lead up to the election, and FBI Director James Comey should say so.
A member of the House Intelligence Committee, Pelosi questioned whether Trump understands the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the law that allows the government to monitor the calls of foreign agents suspected of terrorism or espionage.
'President Obama would not do that,' she told reporters attending a Christian Science Monitor breakfast. 'We do not use FISA against the American people.'
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi told reporters attending a Christian Science Monitor breakfast that there's no way that former President Barack Obama had Donald Trump wiretapped in the lead up to the election, and FBI Director James Comey should say so
Trump has provided no evidence that Obama had his calls monitored.
And while several news reports indicated that FBI could have been spying on his business in connection with a probe into his alleged ties to the Russians, the White House has provided no direct evidence of that, either.
Any surveillance of Trump Tower would require a court order.
In accusing Obama of having him spied on, Trump suggested that the former president committed a felony.
Pelosi said Trump's claim 'couldn't possibly be true.'
His business may have been the target of an FBI investigation, she said, 'But we really don't know...I can't know in a way that I can say here.'
The Democratic leader encouraged FBI Director Comey to address Trump's allegations openly if he has information that contradicts the president.
'Theoretically do I think that a director of the FBI, who knows for a fact that something is mythology but misleading to the American people, and he should set the record straight? Yes I do think he should say that publicly.'
Comey has not commented on the matter directly, although more than one published report has said that he pushed the Justice Department to refute Trump's claim.
The White House has also urged Comey to issue a firm statement, yet he hasn't.
Yesterday evening Comey met with congressional leaders on Capitol Hill, including Pelosi, who are part of what is known as the 'Gang of Eight' to perform a routine national security briefing.
The California congresswoman said she was unable to comment on that discussion while affirming that she again called for an independent commission 'to investigate the Russian connection.'
'What did the Russians have on Donald Trump that has him talking about flirting with the idea of not having sanctions on Russia, undermining the START treaty, even belittling the greatness of America, as he does, so what's that about?'
Pelosi suggested Sunday that Trump made the wiretapping allegation against Obama as distraction tactic, saying on Twitter that 'misdirection is a tool of authoritarians.'
Speaking about the charge at Friday's invite-only breakfast, she again wondered, 'What is going on there?
Comey, seen here on Wednesday in Boston, has not commented on Trump's charges on the record. But more than one published report has said that he pushed the Justice Department to refute Trump's claim
'I mean really, I think that he crossed the line with that,' she said. 'But it's red meat for his base. You know they believe almost anything he says.'
The House minority leader brought up Trump's campaign claim that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue in New York and still have his voters' support. His charge against Obama is a similar test, she said.
'He's shooting the truth on Fifth Avenue, or Mar-a-Lago, wherever he happens to be, occasionally at the White House,' she said.
House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes said Tuesday that he has not been presented with evidence to back up Trump's assertion on Twitter Saturday.
'We are supposed to be kept up to speed on any pertinent counterintelligence investigation,' he said. 'If Trump or any other political campaign, or anybody associated with Trump, was under some type of investigation, that clearly should have risen to the Gang of Eight level.'
Still, he said the committee will look into the allegation, as the White House has requested.
Pelosi said Friday that intelligence panel shouldn't be spending its time investigating the charge.
'No. They should be investigating the Russian connection to undermine our democracy. That's what they should be investigating,' she said.
'This is, you throw out something, and say waste your time investigating something.'
Continuing, Pelosi said of the Trump charge, 'It couldn't possibly be true. It couldn't possibly be true, because that is not how our system works.'
'So, if you're talking about a FISA, as a president, I'm not even sure he understands the whole FISA thing. Maybe he does, but it's complicated,' she argued. 'But if he does, good for him, that would be one.'

Comey warns there is no longer 'absolute privacy' in US
Maybe the title should have been:
Comey warns Trump there is no longer 'absolute privacy' in US
-----------------------------------------
FBI Director James Comey said Wednesday that Americans should no longer have the expectations of complete privacy.
Comey, who was the keynote speaker at a cybersecurity conference at Boston College, said there is no longer “absolute privacy” in the U.S., Politico reported.
“Even our memories aren’t private," he said. "Any of us can be compelled to say what we saw. In appropriate circumstances, a judge can compel any of us to testify in court on those private communications. There is no place in America outside of judicial reach."
Comey’s comments came less than 24 hours after WikiLeaks released files from the CIA which appear to show that the agency has the ability to hack cars, TVs and smartphones.
Comey did not reference the wiretapping controversy during his speech to law enforcement officials and private-sector business leaders.
“All of us have a reasonable expectation of privacy in our homes, in our cars, and in our devices. But it also means with good reason, in court, government through law enforcement can invade our private spaces,” Comey said.
He said the FBI is renewing a focus on the challenges posed by encryption. He said there should be a balance between privacy and the FBI's ability to lawfully access information. He also said the FBI needs to recruit talented computer personnel who might otherwise go to work for Apple or Google.
"The cyber threats we face are enormous. I don't know if we can stay ahead of them. And I think to say otherwise would be hubris," Comey said.
Comey added that he plans to serve his entire 10-year term despite the wiretapping controversy.
"You're stuck with me for another 6 1/2 years," he said.
ACLU files ethics complaint against Sessions with Alabama Bar Disciplinary Commission
Catherine HerridgePublished March 09, 2017
The ACLU has submitted an ethics complaint with the Alabama State Bar Disciplinary Commission against Attorney General Jeff Sessions, alleging the former senator violated the code of conduct during his confirmation hearing testimony.
Code of conduct? Where was the radical left ACLU when lard ass met Bill on the tarmac in Phoenix, AZ while his wife was under FBI investigation? Lynch blew the 'appearance of impropriety' out of the water!
This is total bullshit.
"Mr. Sessions is the Attorney General of the United States and violated Rule 8.4 of the Alabama Rules of Professional Conduct," according to the complaint filed Thursday by the ACLU's Chris Anders, deputy director at the ACLU Washington Legislative Office, where he represents the ACLU before Congress and the executive branch.
"Mr. Sessions made false statement during sworn testimony on January 10, 2017 and in a subsequent written response to questions January 17, 2017." Anders continued, "Rule 8.4 (c) of the Alabama Rules of Professional Conduct states that it is professional misconduct for a lawyer to 'engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation."
On March 2, Sessions told reporters at the Justice Department that he will recuse himself from “any existing or future investigations” regarding the 2016 presidential campaign, responding to bipartisan pressure to step aside from a probe into Moscow meddling amid revelations he spoke twice with Russia’s ambassador and didn’t disclose it to Congress.
In a press conference, Sessions pushed back forcefully, however, on allegations he misled lawmakers. Though he testified during his confirmation hearing that he had no “communications” with Russia during the campaign, when he was a top surrogate for then-candidate Donald Trump, Sessions defended his answer as “honest and correct.”
“I never had meetings with Russian operatives or Russian intermediaries about the Trump campaign,” he said.
Sessions said he did not intend to mislead anyone, suggesting he was referring in that hearing only to discussions about the campaign. Still, Sessions said he would write to the Senate Judiciary Committee to “explain this testimony for the record.”
"Jeff Sessions is an honest man," Trump said in a statement released later that day. "He did not say anything wrong. He could have stated his response more accurately, but it was clearly not intentional. This whole narrative is a way of saving face for Democrats losing an election that everyone thought they were supposed to win."
Earlier this week, Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, accused Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., of asking a "gotcha question" after a heating exchange during a confirmation hearing for Maryland U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein to become deputy attorney general.
Franken had confronted Rosenstein over Sessions' two previously undisclosed meetings last year with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. when asked if he would prosecute any potential illicit contact between Trump's presidential campaign and Russian officials.
"I consider what Sen. Franken asked Sessions at that late moment, that that story had just come out, as a gotcha question," Grassley said. The Iowa senator then went on to say Franken had new information that Sessions was not aware of during his confirmation hearing.
When asked for comment about the complaint, the Department of Justice referred Fox News back to Sessions' letter sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 6, which served as a supplement to his testimony before the committee on January 10.
Anders told Fox News “few events are more corrosive to a democracy than having the future Attorney General make false statements under oath about a matter the Justice Department is investigating."
“No attorney, whether just starting out as a new lawyer or serving as the country’s top law enforcement officer, should lie under oath,” he added. “The Alabama bar must investigate this wrongfully and fairly.”
How do you investigate it wrongfully and fairly at the same time?

Trump's tough talk regarding illegals is working
Illegal border crossings decrease by 40 percent in Trump's first month, report says
The number of people illegally crossing the U.S. southern border has dropped 40 percent in President Trump’s first full month in office, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said Wednesday.
U.S. Customs and Border Patrol reported that the number of illegal border crossings dropped from 31,578 to 18,762 persons. Kelly said border agents usually see a 10 to 20 percent increase in illegal immigrant apprehensions from January to February.
“The drop in apprehensions shows a marked change in trends,” Kelly said. “Since the administration’s implementation of executive orders to enforce immigration laws, apprehensions and inadmissible activity is trending toward the lowest monthly total in at least the last five years.”
The new numbers are welcoming news for Trump who campaigned on illegal immigration crackdown.
Trump signed an executive order increasing border security and authorizing the construction of his promised border wall along the southern border in the first few days of his presidency. Trump also seeks to hire about 5,000 additional border patrol officials and 10,000 ICE agents and seeks to fast-track deportations.
“We will remain vigilant to respond to any changes in these trends, as numbers of illegal crossings typically increase between March and May,” Kelly said. “However, the early results show that enforcement matters, deterrence matters, and that comprehensive immigration enforcement can make an impact.”
This Land Is Their Land
Only in the liberal mind.
I wonder after a hard day of protesting a liberal goes home only to find an illegal laid back on their recliner, drinking an ice cold Corona watching Telemundo, and when the operator says '911' do they scream, “There’s an undocumented immigrant living in my home?”
Or maybe they just ask for the remote and switch the channel to MSNBC?

The crime scene
Report surfaces of Trump reception that included Kislyak
So this is how it's going down. Trump who has shaken hands with literally thousands of people during the campaign winds up at a VIP reception with probably hundreds of people there. Of course, he supposed to know the name and address of every person he "warmly greeted" that day. So he happens to bump into Kislyak and right in front of a sea of people he tells him, "You know, tell Vlad after the election I can be more flexible."
You have to be a Democrat on an open mic to get that kind of inattention.
----------------------------------
The hype over possible contacts between President Trump's campaign and Russian officials went into overdrive Tuesday after liberal blogs seized on a months-old report describing an encounter between Trump and Moscow's ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak.
The May 13, 2016 report by the Wall Street Journal described how then-candidate Trump came across Kislyak at a VIP reception moments before Trump made a major foreign policy speech at Washington's Mayflower Hotel. The Journal said that Trump "warmly greeted" Kislyak and three other ambassadors who came to the reception.
The report was resurrected Tuesday by websites such as ThinkProgress and Daily Kos, which published stories implying Trump lied when he said last month that "nobody that I know of" on his campaign staff contacted Russian officials during the presidential race.
Revelations about conversations between Kislyak and top U.S. officials have already led to the resignation of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and the recusal of Attorney General Jeff Sessions from any investigation of the Trump campaign and its possible ties to Moscow.
However, Kislyak also has a long history of meeting with Democratic lawmakers. On one occasion in 2013, the envoy met with seven then-Democratic senators. Kislyak also reportedly visited the Obama White House at least 22 times.
You see Kislyak is Kryptonite but only to Republicans.
A White House spokesperson denied that the encounter constituted a meeting and added that the campaign was not responsible for inviting or vetting guests
at the speech.

So… Hillary Knew About The Trump Wiretap – Tweeted About it One Week Prior to Election
When you get the drift of that unmistakable odor it always leads back to a Clinton. Think about it... how would she have known this? She was in on it and couldn’t keep her big mouth shut! Barry IS the ‘computer scientist’. Now you know why he's is laying low with little to say.
-------------------------------
March 5, 2017 By Kristie McDonald
TGP reported earlier that the first FISA request came right after AG Loretta Lynch met with Bill Clinton on the tarmac at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in June of 2016.
Of course, Lynch and Clinton said they chatted about grandchildren and as Nancy Pelosi noted, the meeting was purely “serendipitous”. And if you believe that…
The second FISA request was submitted in October of 2016 just before the election. Hillary Clinton sent out a tweet on October 31st stating that ‘computer scientists have uncovered a covert server linking the Trump organization to a Russian-based server’.
The Gateway Pundit reports,
Hillary Clinton’s tweet from October 31st… Computer scientists?…
Connect the dots, folks. This was a well-coordinated attack on a Presidential candidate. AG Lynch met with Bill Clinton just before the first FISA request.
After they were successful with the second FISA request in October, it appears Bill Clinton passed on the information to his wife to help her win the election. This scandal is about to blow wide open; it’s not going away anytime soon. Stay tuned…
Everyone one of these bastards should be in jail. And you can throw Comey into that mix.

Lewandowski claims Obama WH listened in on Sessions, Russian envoy meetings
Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said in an interview on “Justice with Judge Jeanine” Saturday that the Obama administration listened in on conversations between then-Sen. Jeff Sessions and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
“What we have seen from the previous administration is they did spend time listening to conversations between then Senator Jeff Sessions and the ambassador to Russia while he was in his U.S. Senate office,” Lewandowski told Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro. “If that were to take place – which supposedly did take place – what other conversations are they listening in on.”
Lewandowski, trying to connect the dots, said the previous administration said they were aware of two conversations Sessions had with Kislyak – one time during the Republican National Convention and another in the U.S. Senate office.
“And they were monitoring who (Sessions) was having a conversation with from what I understand,” Lewandowski said. “If that is the case, that is very concerning. Is it possible that the previous administration was listening to the conversations that took place in Trump Tower from their political opponents? If that is the case, and what Donald Trump alludes to is accurate, then that’s very disturbing.”
The Justice Department said Wednesday that Sessions did meet with Kislyak twice in 2016. The first was an office visit that occurred in Sessions’ capacity as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and the second took place in a group setting with other ambassadors following a Heritage Foundation speech, which was sponsored by the Obama State Department.
President Trump claimed earlier Saturday that Obama had Trump Tower phones tapped in the weeks before the November 2016 election.
He made the claim in a series of tweets that included the suggestion that the alleged wiretapping was tantamount to “McCarthyism” and “Nixon/Watergate.”
Trump does not specify how he uncovered the Obama administration's alleged wiretapping.
Former President Obama denied Trump’s accusation.
“Neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false," said Kevin Lewis, a spokesman for the former president.
Guess it was the Martians who wiretapped James Rosen.
Guess Who Sat With Russian Ambassador at Trump’s Speech?
Democrats and the liberal media are now obsessed with Russia. But during President Donald J. Trump’s speech on Tuesday before Congress – which was watched by more than 40 million people – people noticed that Russian Ambassador Sergey I. Kislyak was in attendance.
And guess where the Ambassador sat? On the Democrats’ side:
Remember she never heard of Johnathan Gruber either!
Still another case of 'amnesia'.
McCaskill was one of a slew of Democratic liars who claimed they never met the Russian ambassador.
The Missouri senator had denied meeting him saying in her ten years serving on the Armed Services Committee, she was involved in 'no call or meeting' with the Russian diplomat.
Her claims were quickly disproved after Charles C.W. Cooke of the National Review discovered tweets saying otherwise.
'Off to meeting w/Russian Ambassador. Upset about the arbitrary/cruel decision to end all US adoptions, even those in process,' she tweeted on January 2013.
