…”and we will win, and you will win, and we will keep on winning, and eventually you will say we can’t take all of this winning, …please Mr. Trump  …and I will say, NO, we will win, and we will keep on winning”. ~ Donald Trump

THE TRUMP EFFECT – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has already announced the Canadian government’s willingness to renegotiate NAFTA.   In addition, President Trump’s energy agenda plans to triple domestic U.S. energy production, no carbon tax, and the Trump tax proposal drops the corporate tax rate to 15%.
One Canadian economist realizes exactly what this confluence of events adds up to:

Remember when candidate Donald Trump said:

…”and we will win, and you will win, and we will keep on winning, and eventually you will say we can’t take all of this winning, …please Mr. Trump  …and I will say, NO, we will win, and we will keep on winning”…

Remember that?  Good.  Now ask yourself: “have I lost yet”?…
No, and you won’t.

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald J. Trump has selected Representative Tom Price, a six-term Republican congressman from Georgia who has led opposition to the Affordable Care Act, to be secretary of health and human services, according to a transition team official.

Mr. Price, an orthopedic surgeon, has been a severe critic of the health law, saying it interferes with the ability of patients and doctors to make medical decisions.

And he says that events have borne out his warnings.  “Premiums have gone up, not down,” Mr. Price said recently. “Many Americans lost the health coverage they were told time and time again by the president that they could keep. Choices are fewer.”

Taxpayer Funded Jihad

The potential for Unvetted Islamic Refugees becoming ISIS terrorists was a hot-button issue within the 2016 Presidential race.  Candidate Donald Trump promised to halt the program; candidate Hillary Clinton and President Obama promised to increase the refugee influx.

In addition, various religious “humanitarian” organizations have been at the tip of the spear promoting refugee and illegal immigration status.  The business model for ‘Baptist Child and Family Services’ as well as ‘Catholic Charities’ are dependent on hundreds of millions from the taxpayers via immigration/refugee resettlement programs.

To give you an idea of the scope: so far in 2016 BCFS has been granted over two hundred million.  $201,069,016 to be precise.  The scope of awards given to Catholic Charities is even more jaw dropping (SEE HERE)

Glenn Beck and Senator Ted Cruz have both advocated for the illegal alien/refugee programs in the summer of 2014, coincidentally the exact same time Abdul Razak Ali Artan gained entry into the U.S.

There are currently estimated to be more than 100,000 Somalian refugees living in the United States. (link)  […]  Between 2013 and 2015 alone, the United States accepted more than 25,000 Somalian refugees.  […]  The suspect, Abdul Razak Ali Artan, lived briefly in a temporary shelter in Dallas before settling in Ohio, according to Catholic Charities records, obtained by NBC

At approximately 9:52am a Somali male, suspected to be 18-year-old Abdul Razak Ali Artan (pictured left), a Somali refugee with a legal alien status (green card), drove a vehicle into a crowd of students on the campus of Ohio State University.
After exiting his vehicle Artan attacked the surrounding crowd with a large butchers knife injuring nine people before a campus police officer shot and killed the rampaging suspect.
Here is the suspect vehicle 2002 Honda (silver). In the police scanner below the vehicle registration (GHL-6769) checks backs back to Ali Mohammed, 20-year-old Somali Refugee (Listen to audio at 06:00 – 06:20)

Law enforcement officials told NBC News the suspect’s name is Abdul Artan, an 18-year-old student at the university. He was a Somali refugee who left his homeland with his family in 2007, lived in Pakistan and then came to the United States in 2014 as a legal permanent resident of the United States, officials said.

Prior to the 2016 election President Obama used his parseltongue to encourage illegal aliens to break federal law and vote in the presidential election:

In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 27, 2016

According to a recent research study as many as 2.8 million illegal aliens voted in 2008 and 2012.  Full pdf below:
[excerpt] …”How many non-citizen votes were likely cast in 2008? Taking the most conservative estimate (those who both said they voted and cast a verified vote) yields a confidence interval based on sampling error between 0.2% and 2.8% for the portion of non-citizens participating in elections.

Senator Bernie Sanders goes into the full ‘old man screaming “get off my lawn” mode‘ after he was  put on the spot this morning because of his ideological support for brutal communist dictator Fidel Castro.
Angry Sanders has very grouchy sad because he must retain his condolences privately amid his fellow socialist/communist besties within the Occupy Wall Street crowd.

Former campaign manager Kellyanne Conway made the Sunday talk circuit discussing a variety of topics surrounding the Donald Trump transition (three interviews).
One of the consistent inquisitions surrounds the Mitt Romney Secretary of State banter:

The difference between the Democrat and Republican party has always been the distinction between one side who will do anything, say anything, manipulate anything, and fight to the death to get their way – and the other party being polite Republican surrender monkeys.

Any intellectually honest observer didn’t need to look any further than the construct of ObamaCare in 2009/2010 to find the legislative representation of this political truism.
Or perhaps a person might remember the leftist takeover of the Wisconsin capitol building because they lost the 2010 election.  Further still remember the newly minority Wisconsin Democrats actually fleeing the state and attempting to disrupt the legislative session simply by refusing to participate.
The Jill Stein filing for a recount in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania is simply an extension of this aforementioned behavior.   The goal is not to change the election outcome, that possibility is beyond absurd, the goal is Alinsky opposition: create mayhem, cause angst, create disruption, seed doubt, undermine, isolate, marginalize the opponent. These moonbat behaviors are simply the antagonistic leftists fulfilling the nature of their ideology.

Perhaps something worth considering amid all the Mitt Romney angst, is the potential for this to be part of a more comprehensive Donald Trump/Steve Bannon strategy.

You would be hard pressed to find anyone amid CTH who would opine any measure of favorability toward Romney.  Quite the contrary, no-one likes him, at all. Nor did anyone support his initial presidential bid in the primary of 2012.
However, that said, President-Elect Trump presenting Romney as a cabinet possibility -and stirring up the visual appearance of grass root opposition therein- may essentially be nothing more than putting the final nail in another GOPe legacy coffin.

Approximately 14 hours after creating a media cycle fraught with antagonism and chaos, a more demure Kellyanne Conway appears on Fox News for an interview with Sean Hannity.

@04:42 “I’ve been offered a big position“…

Oh my.
Sounds like “a major award“: (more…)
