If you listened to the media narrative, the inaugural address by President Trump was filled with doom and gloom. Most MSM pundits labeling the speech “dark“, “foreboding”, “negative” or “divisive“. Some even called it “out of touch” and  “dystopian“.
Except, there’s a problem,…

….the vast majority of American’s liked it.

In a predictably non-discussed poll commissioned by Politico and taken by Morning Consult, not only did the majority of Americans support the speech, the even larger majority of those polled supported the message therein:

Even Politico had to concede the disconnect between the media and the electorate:

Dark. Negative. Divisive. That’s was the immediate narrative about President Donald Trump’s inaugural address.

But many Americans liked it.  (more)

But wait, oh, it gets much better.

President Trump sits down in the White House for an extensive interview with ABC’s Swamp Concierge David Muir.

Full Transcript below from ABC. It’s a long transcript, and it doesn’t match the interview as broadcast.  Not sure why.

For those who don’t know Catherine Engelbrecht, she has been the tip of the spear on voting integrity since 2008.  Catherine, along with thousands of other people, was a direct target of the weaponized IRS following the assembly of various Tea Party groups in 2009/2010.  Mrs Engelbrecht has delivered passionate testimony to congress.
In addition, Engelbrecht was also illegally singled out for specific investigation by House Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings for her “true the vote” efforts.  Few people know the depth of voter fraud, and the various issues within intentional vote manipulation, with as much insight.  After almost a decade of intense work at state and local levels; Englebrecht is a subject matter expert on voting issues:

Please make sure you watch Catherine’s congressional testimony below:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Much is being spoken about Today’s executive orders on border security and immigration enforcement.  The full text of the Executive Order is below:
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.) (INA), the Secure Fence Act of 2006 (Public Law 109 367) (Secure Fence Act), and the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (Public Law 104 208 Div. C) (IIRIRA), and in order to ensure the safety and territorial integrity of the United States as well as to ensure that the Nation’s immigration laws are faithfully executed, I hereby order as follows:
♦  Section 1.  Purpose.  Border security is critically important to the national security of the United States.  Aliens who illegally enter the United States without inspection or admission present a significant threat to national security and public safety.  Such aliens have not been identified or inspected by Federal immigration officers to determine their admissibility to the United States.
The recent surge of illegal immigration at the southern border with Mexico has placed a significant strain on Federal resources and overwhelmed agencies charged with border security and immigration enforcement, as well as the local communities into which many of the aliens are placed. (more…)

Times, they are a’ changing...  The moonbats continued “protesting” in Portland Oregon, today; blocking traffic and generally causing mayhem.  Only this time the police had enough and begin enforcing the rule of law.
Tweets from Kelsey Watts show the story as the crowd cheers the arrest of the loons:

Cops just showed up, tackle people in street. People on sidewalk cheer. @fox12oregon pic.twitter.com/7MQLLZ6v91

This is beyond epic.  Representative Tulsi Gabbard visited Syria and delivers big and bold truth to CNN upon her return interview.
Gabbard deconstructs the false narrative sold by the Muslim Brotherhood, Obama administration, John McCain, Adam Kinzinger and Evan McMullin -all of whom supported the various terrorist factions within Syria- and sets the record straight:

The “Rebels” in Syria are extremist terrorists.

CNN host Jake Tapper just didn’t know what to do with himself as Gabbard deconstructed his ideological, and brutally wrong, talking points.  Tapper left staring at the camera with that doofy expression, puzzled and wrinkled brow: “huh”?  Watch:

A senior level IT source within the California Department of Motor Vehicles has informed CTH within the past 48 hours California officials have instructed DMV data programmers to remove the internal coding flags for the drivers licenses of illegal aliens in California.
As you might be aware, California passed a law known as AB60 authorizing illegal aliens to receive drivers licenses throughout the state.  Within the administrative functions of the state DMV database a designation code known as “AB60 code” was created to flag those specific licenses as containing “Federal Limits Apply”.

We have confirmation from a top level IT source state officials have instructed programmers to immediately remove AB60 administrative coding.  The removed code in question is an administrative function for identifying the registered DL holder as an “undocumented person” or illegal alien holder within the DMV database.
The established computer flag allows an administrator or DMV or State official to filter the massive database of California Drivers License holders and identify just those who are ‘undocumented’.
The removal of the “flag” via deletion of the program code, means the database cannot be easily filtered to show only illegals who received those Drivers licenses, and/or generate a list of those license recipients. (more…)
