Poll: Claire McCaskill Trails GOP Challengers by 7, 16 Percent
[BREITBART] Missouri Democrat Sen. Claire McCaskill
...Now, why would I pay taxes on my airplane? Send the bill to the taxpayers!...
trails not one but two Republican challengers in head-to-head matchups, according to a poll released Tuesday.
The poll by Gravis Marketing ‐ commissioned by Republican candidate Austin Peterson ‐ shows the incumbent trailing state Attorney General Josh Hawley and libertarian-leaning Petersen by more than the margin of error.

"In the first match-up, Hawley was picked by 50 percent of respondents and McCaskill was chosen by 43 percent. In the second, 56 percent of respondents chose Petersen, and 40 percent picked McCaskill. The margin of error for the survey was 3.4 percentage points," reports USA Today.

In response to the poll, Petersen said, "Both (Hawley and McCaskill) have shown themselves to be ladder-climbing career politicians who prioritize professional gain over honest representation of the electorate.

"After nearly a year of hearing Missourians express their frustration with the insider politics in Jefferson City and Washington on the campaign trail, I can’t say I’m surprised by these results."

Democrat Rep. Al Green: When We Get Back The House, We'll Start Impeachment Proceedings
[DAILYWIRE] Democrat Rep. Al Green (D-TX) had harsh words for President Trump late Tuesday, warning that if Democrats retake the House of Representatives in November, they´ll begin the 2019 legislative session with articles of impeachment, even if Trump hasn´t done anything to require it. Speaking to C-Span, Rep. Green suggested that he has the "right and privilege" to impeach the president, even absent evidence that the president has committed "high crimes" or "misdemeanors" by virtue of the U.S. Constitution. "There’s a good likelihood there will be articles of impeachment" brought against the President, Rep. Green said.

If you have no use for the Constitution, neither do we. Remember, that is why the founders insisted we get to keep our guns. It was the ultimate Lefty that said "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun"

#4  If you're otherwise running on a platform of raising taxes and keeping Obamacare, I suppose this makes sense.

#5  Since this nation is a constitutionally established federal republic, the Left should be informed that; no constitution, no federal republic. Which then means, no federal government and the states revert to their individual sovereign status. And then comes the retribution by the people that the politicians so richly deserve.

#8  How many miles is it to Quantico and Belvoir from DC and Congress? Drive time for heavy vehicles ? The Lefty's are going to reverse the Votes of the People ? Millions of ordinary people voted for Trump. I KNOW, Let's screw millions of Americans and say their Votes don't matter.
See how that works?

You want a new revolution? How well do you think New York and Massachusetts and California will do against the rest of the Country....the pink boys in tutus against the US Marines? Oh, you don't think the Marines would back the President ? Just a guess but Congress is mortal...or am I wrong? The Left can't be so STOO-pid they want to hang themselves. And DC does have lamp posts.

Maybe it won't be that bad, perhaps its an exaggeration. You happen to know any Marines? Ask one. See if they wear pink tutus.
Drive down to Quantico and just look around. Go walk around a Barracks back Quad and observe a squad stringing Machine gun ammo. Or walk around a Platoon early in the morning after Chow Hall...and shout "Fuck Trump, Hooray for Nancy Pelosi ! " in the Squad Bay ....and see what it gets you. You just MAY get a sudden and direct response.

#9  Democrats are hitting that delicate time where they need to shift messages from the nonsense that gets nutty zealots to donate are put aside so as not to scare off sane voters.

#10  I think that is an en-goal Jack Potector.

Well, they won't like what comes after they reach their goal. They will be hunted and slaughtered mercilessly. Then the remaining Patriots could work to reconstituting the Nation, hopefully learning from some of the mistakes over the last 175 years or so.

Alaska jail sued for feeding Muslims pork, starving them in Ramadan
[PRESSTV] Moslem inmates at a jail in the US state of Alaska are being "starved" and given pork products during Ramadan, a new lawsuit claims.

For one thing, Moslem prisoners are given food with substantially lower calories compared to other inmates, said the Council on American-Islamic Relations
... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ...
(CAIR) in the federal lawsuit filed on Wednesday.

"Officials at the Anchorage Correctional Complex have provided Moslem inmates with less than half the calories they require -- as little as 500 calories on some days ‐ which amounts to a starvation diet."

Moslems observing the holy month eat and drink only between sundown and sunrise, but the inmates fall victim to discriminatory behavior from authorities who deny them Halal meals.

This is while officials at the prison are constitutionally forbidden from "compelling inmates to choose between their faith and food."

"We hope that a court will do what Anchorage Correctional Complex officials will not: ensure that Moslem inmates are not starved or forced to violate the principles of their faith during the holy month of Ramadan," Lena Masri, the national litigation director for CAIR, said in a statement.

The Alaska Department of Corrections has not yet commented on the lawsuit.

CAIR has demanded a court order for "adequate nutrition, free of pork products" for the prisoners.

#6  Orange is the New Black had a funny subplot about pre-prepared Kosher meals being far better than the slop normally served, but it was never used because of the lack of Jews in prison. That is until some prisoners figured it out and started converting.
