Call it “the revenge of John Galt“, call it “the revenge of main street“, call it “the rebuke of the compliance department”, or call it something else…. but what’s brutally missing amid all the pearl-clutching punditry is an acceptance that President Trump is ushering back an era of The Titans of Capitalism.

A succinct comment by thesavyinvester cuts to the brutal heart of the matter:

How ironic… The last 8 yrs ( and frankly much longer ) the non producing bureaucratic state only focused on growing it’s own organisms ( like something Ripley fought against ) rather than fostering yours, will now be run by those that for eons that had to dot their I’s and cross their T’s for all these pencil pushers. Yikes, they will be more uncomfortable than Rodney Dangerfield constantly adjusting his collar and tie during his comedy routine?. No I am not tired of winning, grab the popcorn this will be fun.

The professional left is really trying hard to embed a narrative about the need for divergent political opinion to be labeled as “fake news”.

Cue the creepy jackboot marching music in 3… 2… 1….
This is disturbing on so many levels; not the least of which is the compare and contrast between the speech content yesterday noted above, and the speech Hillary Clinton gave at Andrews Air Force Base three days after the Benghazi attack – when she specifically and intentionally lied to the American people and blamed an internet video for the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Chris Smith, Ty Wood and Glenn Doherty.

In order to tackle the U.S. Illegal Immigration issues, even broadly, a person must first change their paradigm and understand the root issue which creates the crisis. The problem was created by the UniParty, and the problem continues specifically because the UniParty desire it to continue.
Before you can reasonably present a solution to the illegal immigration problem, you must first understand the economic problem. Understanding how illegal aliens work in the U.S. is step one toward understanding what proposed solutions would/could work, and which are mere political talking points.
Here’s the stuff the professional political class don’t necessarily want you to know.

You can clearly see, from many of the various pearl-clutching articles about Labor Secretary Nominee Andrew Puzder, how entrenched, erroneous and naive many peoples’ beliefs are on the specific issue of illegal aliens within the employment system.
It is difficult to accept -perhaps for the first time- what you previously believed is not based on any substantive reality.   Blaming U.S. businesses for hiring illegal aliens makes for a good avoidance technique; heck, the UniParty relies upon an electorate doing just that. However, that blame-casting actually keeps people from recognizing and confronting the underlying ‘real world’ issues faced by U.S. employers.
This is where the value of a successful businessman, Corporate CEO, large employer, and specifically a man who has faced down the weaponized EEOC, Andrew Puzder, becomes infinitely more valuable as Secretary of Labor.

During a presented Don Lemon discussion panel Monday night, the severity of ridicule against Dr. Ben Carson was jaw-dropping and unprofessional in the extreme.
Removing all pretense of substantive discussion, Don Lemon, Marc Lamont Hill and Peter Beinart began openly mocking the nomination of Dr. Carson for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The scope and severity of the exhibited ridicule was so over the top, fellow CNN panelist Brian Stelter was both visibly trying to hide his glee and simultaneously uncomfortable joining in amid the laughter and mockery.
If this was any other media panel mocking and ridiculing a black nominee for an Obama administration the calls of racist outrage against the network would be overwhelming. However, as customary within their hypocrisy, the pontificating left-wing ideologues cannot even fathom anyone taking exception. Watch:

Forget President Obama breaking 40 years of U.S. diplomatic policy and engaging in direct talks with Iran…. forget that.
Forget President Obama breaking 50 years of U.S. diplomatic policy and engaging in direct political relationships with the communists in Cuba…. forget that too.
The Donald took a phone call from the President of Taiwan.

OMG Yikes, Stop The Presses !!

Quick, cue the Dobbs:

Repost – Donald Trump took a congratulatory phone call from the President of Taiwan, and now the Chinese will be apoplectic.

Oh, the winning… odd how it just seems to self-create now.
Recently reelected Democrat House Leader Nancy Pelosi (moonbat via San Francisco California) claims, in the face of another historic election loss, the Democrats don’t need a change in direction they just need a better vehicle to communicate their ideology.

Perfect!  Add in a few more of Hollywoods’ famous actor videos supporting Keith Ellison for DNC head, and we’ll have a self-perpetuating political Christmas Present:

3:00pm PST Press Conference – As a follow-up to the earlier discussion – Officials in Oakland California are now stating the death toll has risen to 33 with approximately 40% of the warehouse searched.  Search and recovery teams still have well over half of the warehouse to search.
Fire officials note they were forced to break the warehouse down into four quadrants and they have found bodies in each of the four areas.  The recovery efforts continue within a very difficult crime scene.  Some of the victims are teenagers 16, 17 or perhaps younger.

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf

The ctrl-left (extremely far-left) liberal Oakland city politicians -including the inept liberal Mayor Libby Schaaf- are fraught with predictable political correctness, plausible deniability, and efforts to avoid their own responsibility in the events that allowed the illegal use of a non-residential building.
During the 6:00pm (EDT) press conference Mayor Schaaf stated she has made every effort in her administration to make Oakland a “safe space” for artists, musicians, and a liberally minded constituency.  Obviously failing to see the irony in her statement, Schaaf reaffirmed her intention to continue this endeavor.

Mr. Pinko at PolitOpinion smartly captures the essence of how CNN smugly tries to promote the concept of “fake news” through a pontificating process of willful blindness.
Remember, as David Mamet accurately stated: in order for liberals to retain their own ideological world-view, they must claim not to know/see things that are brutally obvious to everyone else.  Intentional and willful blindness.
In a recently aired segment of CNN, reporter Alisyn Comerota condescendingly questions a panel of Trump supporters.  One of the inquires stimulates the panel to discuss an interview (prior to the election) where President Obama said illegal alien voters did not need to worry about being in trouble for illegally voting.
CNN’s Comerota smugly refuted the allegation by saying the aforementioned segment was false as it was later broadcast on Fox Business News; therefore the panel’s opinion was wrong. However, the Obama interview did take place, and the statement by President Obama was factually accurate as outlined within the concerns of the panel.

Con artist and former Green Party candidate Jill Stein raised fleeced the alt-left moonbats for more than seven million dollars.  The financial ruse -as it was announced- was to fund an election recount effort in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.  Now this:
Pennsylvania –  According to legal documents, Jill Stein and her campaign failed to post the $1 million bond needed to challenge the election in Pennsylvania. The court proceeding scheduled for Monday has been canceled.
A “praecipe to discontinue and withdraw” was filed citing that Jill Stein did not post the $1 million needed in the matter of the 2016 presidential election.
A source close to the matter told ABC27’s Dennis Owens that Monday’s scheduled court proceeding has been canceled and the challenge is over.
Jill Stein provided the following statement: (more…)

A fire erupted in a warehouse in Oakland California where authorities fear as many as 40 people have likely been killed.  According to most media reports there was a party or gathering at the venue when the fire broke out.  A horrible inferno ensued.
However, what MSM doesn’t provide is an accurate context or backstory.  Such context first begins with noting the location, Oakland California – the epicenter of some of the most recent and violent left-wing political stories.   Examples include the Occupy Wall Street ideologues and the last seven years of liberal riots and protests.
It does not take a deep-dive of research to identify the warehouse was illegal use of a non-residential building to house a communal artistic alt-left group.  Accepting reality in no way intends to lessen the sorrow and horrific tragedy; however, there is a particular irony in the outcome of an affiliated enterprise rebuking the very tenets of regulation and safety compliance that are specifically in place to prevent such an outcome.
