Democrats to Hold Hearings on Fake News Crisis


Democrats are preparing congressional hearings on President Trump’s assertions that the mainstream media are fake news. Do we really need this dog and pony show? Conservatives have known about their bias for decades. But according to these dimwits in Washington D.C. any criticism of these professional propagandists is considered a constitutional crisis. They believe an attack on these slimeballs is an attack on the First Amendment, as though they are the sole proprietors on freedom of the press and speech.


These so-called journalist and their Beltway brethren are nothing more than society people. They have traded their integrity for approbation from well-connected elites. They care nothing about the truth; indeed they believe they can shape the truth as an ends to a means. These so-called professionals don’t deserve our respect. If anything they deserve our condemnation. President Trump has shown a light on this cockroach party and these pest resent being outed for the diseased vermin they are.

I happened upon a journal entry by Thoreau. I thought his post is as fitting today as it was back in 1852:


April 24. I know two species of men. The vast majority are men of society . They live on the surface ; they are interested in the transient and fleeting ; they are like driftwood on the flood. They ask forever and only the news, the froth and scum of the eternal sea . They use policy ; they make up for want of matter with manner. They have many letters to write. Wealth and the approbation of men is to them success . The enterprises of society are something final and sufficing for them. The world advises them, and they listen to its advice. They live wholly an evanescent life, creatures of circumstance. It is of prime importance to them who is the president of the day. They have no knowledge of truth, but by an exceedingly dim and transient instinct, which stereotypes the church and some other institutions . They dwell, they are ever, right in my face and eyes like gnats ; they are like motes, so near the eyes that, looking beyond, they appear like blurs; they have their being between my eyes and the end of my nose. The terra firma of my existence lies far beyond, behind them and their improvements. If they write, the best of there deal in "elegant literature ." Society, man, has no prize to offer me that can tempt me ; not one.


Shoo, Propagandists, don't bother me. You no longer have the power to persuade me and a growing number of Americans. We have seen through your veil and have witnessed your lies.

Rep. Elijah Cummings' High Theater at Lerner Hearing


Lights, camera, action!  Welcome to Rep. Elijah Cummings’ high theater and grand illusion.  Boy, those democrats sure do know how to play on the political stage.  Today, we had Lois Lerner, an IRS thug, testifying before a House congressional committee, whom repeatedly took the Fifth Amendment.  But you can damn well bet that’s not what the mainstream media will report.  Not after the antics of Mr. Cummings.

The press is already rolling with this repression of a black congressman by a powerful, rich white guy narrative.   Why this poor black man was denied his right to voice his opinion.  Of course, Mr. Cummings and the press failed to mention that he had his opportunity to speak, but didn’t.  Why did the congressman wait until the hearing was adjourned?  Could that be by design?  Hmmm?






Rep. Elijah Cummings has been in Congress since 1996.  Are we to believe that he doesn’t know parliamentary procedures?  This is theater for the low-information masses.  Smoke and mirrors folks, smoke and mirrors.

NRA Will Hold Democrats Accountable for Eric Holder Contempt Vote



Allegations are being made that operation Fast and Furious was a scheme to subvert our Second Amendment rights. And that the Obama administration was counting on the murders of innocent Americans such as Agent Brian Terry to invoke public outrage. This kind of scandal would act as a catalyst for strict gun control measures.

Democrats dismiss this as a preposterous conspiracy theory. But is it? We all know the totalitarian elements that make up this party. Is it so absurd to believe that prominent members of their party would conspire to take away our guns? Does anyone remember the actions of the Clinton administration?

The NRA hasn’t forgotten. And they are going to make damn sure that the Democrats hold Eric Holder accountable for his dismissive attitude to Congress.

The NRA jumped into the fray last week, sending a letter to every House lawmaker condemning Holder's "open defiance" of the GOP probe and warning that the group will be watching closely as lawmakers cast their votes on contempt.

Chris Cox, the NRA's chief lobbyist, also accused the administration of launching the Fast and Furious program as an effort to promote tougher gun control laws.


"The reason we support the contempt resolution is the same reason we first called for Attorney General Holder’s resignation more than a year ago: the Department’s obstruction of congressional oversight of a program that cost lives in support of an anti-gun agenda," Cox wrote.


The NRA's move puts intense pressure on some threatened Democrats to buck their party and vote in favor of the contempt citation. At least four Democrats — Reps. Jim Matheson (Utah), John Barrow (Ga.), Collin Peterson (Minn.) and Nick Rahall (W.V.) — have already said they'll support the measure.

Many Democrats are not happy that the NRA is weighing in on this issue. But then again, is anyone surprised by their protestations.

Sen. Dick Durbin Wants to Central Plan National Football League

Is there any circumstance or situation that Democrats in the United States Senate will not stick their nose into? Sen. Dickhead Durbin from the corrupt state of Illinois wants to conduct a hearing on the NFL.

A Senate Judiciary subcommittee will hold a hearing on the bounty system allegedly used by several National Football League teams – one day after top coaches from the New Orleans Saints were suspended as punishment for a program that awarded players with cash if they injured their opponents.


Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), who will chair the hearing, said Thursday the committee will also investigate whether federal sports bribery laws need to be changed to include sports bounty programs. The date for the hearing has yet to be announced, but Durbin said it will occur after the Easter recess.


“We will have a hearing and put on the record what sports leagues and teams at the professional and collegiate levels are doing to make sure that there’s no place in athletics for these pay-to-main bounties,” Durbin said on the Senate floor Thursday. “I want to hear the policies and practices in each of the major sports and collegiate sports that are being put in place.”

How is this any business of the United States government? But, I am reminded that today is the anniversary of Obamacare. A day when liberty died and we all became subjects of the central planners in Washington D.C. So, I guess it is appropriate that our lords and masters would stick their noses into one of America’s most beloved sport. Nero would have approved.

Rep. Hank Johnson: Genius



I kid you not. Rep. Hank Johnson of the 4th district of Georgia asked a military officer in a congressional hearing if Guam could tip over. This is the same district that brought us Cynthia McKinney before her constituents finally got fed up with her ridiculous exploits and tantrums; and there were quite a few.

I believe we need environmental and psychological surveys in that area, so as to determine the malefic agents, that would induce a people to send someone of this intellect to represent them in D.C.
