Charity begins at home; so too does good governance. President Trump confronts Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings with the reality of his own district in Baltimore, Maryland, and the blight that’s been neglected for decades.
It is worth remembering that Nancy Pelosi changed the House Rules last year, and specifically changed the role of Elijah Cummings. Within the Pelosi rules [page #2], the House Oversight Committee was modified to drop all other areas of government oversight, and focus exclusively on the White House.
On page #2 of Pelosi’s rules we see the key Oversight change. Pelosi sets up a new, much narrower, oversight priority for Chairman Elijah Cummings; specifically to tailor oversight to the White House and President Donald Trump. Additionally we saw the outlined time-schedule for hearings.
In subsection “k” the “clarification” is the narrowing of Elijah Cummings focus. “Oversight Over the Executive Office of the President“. This sets up the system for Cummings to target President Trump, his family, and all members of the executive branch as they relate to specific White House functions.
The Pelosi rules told Chairman Cummings to deliver his schedule for his investigation(s) to the House by April 15th, 2019. Thereafter the hearing sessions targeting the White House would commence. The objective of those hearings is Elijah Cummings role in the House impeachment of the President. This effort is obviously ongoing.
Remember, Cummings represents a district that is so manifestly leftist and corrupt, when the riots broke out in 2015 Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake told the police to stand down and give the rioters “space to destroy“. Yeah, remember her.
How did that career work out?
Or perhaps a reminder of Baltimore’s special prosecutor Marilyn Mosby; who once ruled from upon high in the congressional district. Yeah, remember her. How did that career work out even with all of the media fawning and praise?
Remember the six police officers she charged and dragged through the mud with fictitious accusations; only to see the evidence collapse in court and them being acquitted or having remaining charges dropped…
Or perhaps a reminder of the more recent Baltimore Mayor who was forced to resign as the FBI investigated her corrupt abuse of office. That would be Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh, who took bribes and graft through a pay-to-play bribery scandal for books she “authored” called “Healthy Holly”.
Want a city contract?…. buy some books, easy peasy.
.
Yes, there are rats in Baltimore.
Both kinds…
Dummy Cummings just threw a huge boomerang at the President that he is paying for dearly.
His own angry constituents were finally given an opportunity to point out the neglect and hypocrisy while all Americans have been shown a perfect example of how much our own citizens are suffering in conditions worse than what so-called refugees are allegedly fleeing from.

Yes Trump has known how to manipulate the media to his bidding. That’s why I went strong Trump early. No other Republican could withstand the firestorm. Hell Bush was as establishment as you get but they crucified him. He’s part of the UniParty but even still being Republican you will be torched. This is war and that is why DT was necessary. So glad he’s been Regan like on his philosophical viewpoints. I admit was not quite sure if he’d cozy up to appease the left if he won. I couldn’t be more pleased with the job he’s done. I heard Levin say he’s 85% in favor of all his decisions. Trump even changed the conservative mantra of Milton Friedman economic views. While MF is great doesn’t matter if we are getting hosed by bad deals (NAFTA, China, etc).

Elijah Cummings is a racist. He hates white people but he uses the white guilt libs to keep blacks from improving their lives so he can enrich himself. He is no different than a drug dealer who keeps his customer base addicted to crack or heroin. Wake up people. He is destroying your lives to live large. Throw him out with the trash and set yourselves free. Quit pretending your still slaves.

A few likely white people President Trump could criticize:
1. The US Armg Corps of Engineers who said we couldn’t build a wall up a 30-degree grade.
2. Their commanding officers.
3. Their civil engineering instructors.
4. The bureaucrats who haven’t built one mile of new fence on our southern border.
5. The lawyers who can’t get the paperwork and bottlenecks solved to start construction on one mile of new fence in 2.5 years for our ‘builder’ president.
6. The PACs who could donate to the defense funds of General Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Hope Hicks, and others.
7. The person who leaked the information about the ICE raids to the WashPo.
8. The individuals responsible for monitoring, managing, and auditing over $70 Billion wasted in Puerto Rico.
That’s a start.

President Trump didn’t like how Cummings yelled, screamed and sneered at Kevin McAleenan in the last hearing on immigration and conditions at the border. Cummings said, “What about the children sitting in their own feces, and not being able to take a show, Man”? Cummings then went on a tirade for 5 minutes. McAleenan quietly said, “I don’t allow defecating in my holding centers”.

So today Faux is playing a new game.
Yesterday AM on F & F they do their segment on Cummings, an apparent black man, talking down to the Border Patrol head, a seemingly white man, about conditions at the border vs the putrid conditions in Cummings’ district of Baltimore. Then President TRUMP tweets about it, and now, today, they are asking if it’s fair TRUMP went after Cummings, or is it racist?
HELLO?! Anyone home?
Someone smart on the R side needs to put forth a bill that Congress and the President are red, white and blue, and if you can’t be and act red, white and blue, i.e., in the interest of the American CITIZENS, who you took an oath to serve and protect, then you don’t belong in Congress. You are fair game, but only as red, white and blue.
Simple. Put an end to the racist trash talk forever. Tare it out of their hands now.

I’m really liking these tweets by Trump. No mistakes this time, no personal attacks, he stuck to the facts .. and the facts are damaging. Democrats are desperately trying to seize control of the narrative to manufacture their outrage of the day (especially because of the Mueller flop, they’re in a big hurry to move away from that!), but they’re not succeeding. It’s too easy for anyone to go to YouTube and see real footage of what Cummings’ district looks like. Reality, facts, are almost always unpleasant for the Dems to deal with.

There is no denying that Baltimore has some serious problems. There is only one grocery store chain that has or had stores in that area, and they weren’t cheap. You know there are problems there when those grocery stores have a number of security guards in the store at the same time, some of them armed. The area around Camden Yards, where the Orioles play, has gone through a lot of redevelopment over the years, but they still have security guards, many who are armed, working in stores and the grocery store in that area. I think many of you saw what the hooligans did to the Camden Yards area during the riots a few years back. After the criminal mayor ordered the police to back off and let the rioters vent, destroying a lot if businesses in the process, that idiot mayor actually had the nerve to request federal funds to clean up and repair the damage. Unless something changed, she was denied the federal funds because she is the one who allowed it to happen in the first place. How many of the criminals who destroyed property and looted businesses, were ever prosecuted by Mosby for their illegal wrongdoing? I can’t recall a single one being held accountable.
