-Short Attention Span Theater-
Liberals in Global Outrage That Professional Attire Is Expected at the White House
[FREEBEACON] Liberals are outraged across the globe because employees are expected to dress professionally in the White House.

Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
has "angered feminists all over again," this time for comments he did not make. The outrage originated from an Axios report Thursday that quoted an unnamed source who claimed to have worked for the Trump campaign who said, "Trump likes the women who work for him ’to dress like women.'"

"Even if you're in jeans, you need to look neat and orderly," the source added. Men also should be "sharply dressed."

Dozens of outlets from Australia to Ireland celebrated women who took to Twitter to express their displeasure with Trump over the anonymous comment that women can wear jeans to work. Users began using the hash tag #DressLikeAWoman to show that many women wear uniforms at their jobs, as do fictional characters.

"Trump prefers female employees to ’dress like women', because of course he does," wrote the Sydney Morning Herald.

The Irish Examiner said the "internet's response" to the report was "gloriously badass." The Indian Express and Refinery 29 noted the "amazing Twitter responses." The Huffington Post found 21 women who tweeted about the comments.

BBC News, TIME, the Telegraph, the Guardian, and Yahoo! had write ups, as well.

The UK edition of Marie Claire magazine used the occasion to incorrectly report that President Trump will "declare pre-marital sex" "wrong" via an executive order.

"[I]n just two weeks he has already set back women’s rights dramatically," the magazine wrote. "He has restricted women’s reproductive rights, cut funding to international organizations who promote, provide and advise on abortions, and just yesterday it was revealed that he’s planning an executive order to declare pre-marital sex, same-sex marriage and abortion to be wrong."

The magazine said the comment on women's clothing, which they wrongly attributed to Trump directly, made Marie Claire "disheartened," because it had the effect of "cementing a general feeling that a Trump presidency is setting us back by about 50 years."

#1  The UK edition of Marie Claire magazine used the occasion to incorrectly report that President Trump will "declare pre-marital sex" "wrong" via an executive order.

Uh, it IS wrong. That doesn't erase the fact that virtually every soul on the planet does it. But even this fake announcement attacks something that at its core is essentially correct.

The unhinged left has no real value for right and wrong.

#6  The democrats don't seem to realize that the biggest voting block out there is the independent voters.

The more of this crap they throw around and the more they act like spoiled brats and entitled little sissies, the more of the independents they alienate.

We are watching the end of the democratic party and the marginalization of PC progressive social engineering.

Where will the SJW's go when they have no party and we find a way to put Soros and his minions in jail?

Cal Republican congresscritter exits with police escort after raucous town hall meeting
[SACBEE] Facing a packed auditorium and raucous crowd, Republican Rep. Tom McClintock on Saturday defended his party’s national agenda and voiced strong support for President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s controversial executive actions to scale back Obamacare
... aka the Affordable Care Act, an ineptly designed and worse executed piece of legislation designed to bring 17 percent of the U.S. economy under the direct control of the government. The previous iteration, known as Hillarycare, was laughed out of Washington. This stinker was passed on a party-line vote without being read...
, ban visitors from seven predominantly Moslem countries and build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

"Vote him out," hundreds of demonstrators chanted outside the Tower Theatre in downtown Roseville, the Republican-heavy population center of McClintock’s sprawling congressional district. Inside the theater, more than 200 people gathered for a town-hall event hosted by McClintock.

Attendees, some carrying signs that read "Resist," "Dump Tom McTrump" and "Climate change is real," pressed McClintock to denounce Republican plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act, acknowledge the science supporting the human causes of climate change, and oppose Trump’s executive order temporarily restricting refugee admissions to the U.S.

Judge Wears Anti-Trump Pussy Hat to Court
Travis County Judge Sarah Eckhardt has been rocking headgear with strong anti-Trump symbolism: The Pussy hat. To say it’s politically charged is like saying third-rails are shocking: These hats are pointed symbols in opposition to President Donald Trump, who said in an infamous 2005 video that he grabbed women by their privates. That footage became controversial because the action meets legal definitions of sexual assault if done without consent.

News of Eckhardt’s fashion choice started spreading with a now-partially deleted Reddit post from late January. KVUE later picked up the story and started looking into it. Can the Texas judge wear a hat with strong political connotations? Well, yes. Because she’s not a judge in the conventional sense.

From their story a couple of weeks ago:

KVUE’s Jason Puckett reached out to multiple county departments to verify that this behavior was acceptable and found that almost every source he spoke with agreed – Eckhardt is in the clear.


Meanwhile, the County Attorney office told the outlet they haven’t gotten any complaints, and Judge Eckhardt’s office declined to comment.

Clarification is important here: This Democratic politician is actually Travis County’s top executive, an elected official who leads the Commissioners Court. Here’s the official description of her job [emphasis ours]:

The County Judge is the presiding officer and a voting member of the Travis County Commissioners Court. In the role of presiding officer, the County Judge sets the Court’s weekly voting session agenda, and is often thought of as the chief administrator of the County through the Court´s responsibility for approving annual budgets for the entire County. In large counties like Travis, the County Judge no longer exercises judicial functions as a probate or constitutional county court judge, though the office retains the power to conduct marriages and may also be called upon to conduct administrative hearings.

#8  OK, one more time:
In Texas, the county judge is not a judicial position. It is the head of the county commissioners, who run the particular county.
The individual runs for election, and can be voted out (happens regularly). It's sort of the mayor of the county.
In this case we're talking about the People's Republic of Travis County.

Because, well, Ivanka.
- Since then, five major retailers have agreed to stop stocking Ivanka's line

- Coulter said even her husband believed she was 'crazy' but now the campaign is gathering speed she plans to take on online giant Amazon over its Trump suits

- Shoes.com, Bellacor, Belk, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom have all stopped selling Trump's line

- Nordstrom claimed the decision was not political and was due to poor sales

Dem Sen Blumenthal: Republicans ‘Really Stole’ the Supreme Court Seat
[BREITBART] Saturday, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) weighed in on Supreme Court nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch, saying Republicans “really stole” the Supreme Court seat.

“We cannot forget the way that the Republican leadership absolutely betrayed our constitutional duty to have a hearing and a vote. They really stole the seat. I think it is that bluntly true,” Blumenthal said on “AM Joy.”

Obama Pentagon official says anti-Trump military coup now possible
[WASHINGTONTIMES] A former Defense Department official under the B.O. regime has raised the specter of a military coup to remove President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
from power.

In an editorial penned for Foreign Policy, senior Pentagon policy official Rosa Brooks
...the lady does like penning for Foreign Policy. We had fun with another of her FP pennings a few years ago...
publicly suggested a military insurrection against the Trump administration may be the only option to oust one of the most divisive
...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled...
presidents in American history.

"Donald Trump’s first week as president has made it all too clear: Yes, he is as crazy as everyone feared," Ms. Brooks wrote. "[One] possibility is one that until recently I would have said was unthinkable in the United States of America: a military coup, or at least a refusal by military leaders to obey certain orders."

For the first time in her career in public service, including three years as senior counselor to the Pentagon’s policy chief from 2009 to 2011, "I can imagine plausible scenarios in which senior military officials might simply tell the president: ’No, sir. We’re not doing that.’"

Ms. Brooks’ editorial comes as a recent poll by Public Policy Polling group found that 40 percent of registered voters support Mr. Trump’s impeachment.

In addition, 52 percent of voters polled said they would rather have President B.O. in the Oval Office, opposed to the 43 percent who support the Trump presidency.

#6  All of this supposes that some type of Preemption wont happen from around the world; and if that happens, Trump will be given "Carte Blanche" to carry out his will. I would say it is no coincident that the USS Cole is back at Yemen, it's presence suggest a "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me" tactic. The so call lumberjack with a toothpick on his shoulder, right!

Anti-Trump protesters block ambulance rushing to hospital
[Lifezette] Arrests made at demonstration in Connecticut after 'critically ill' patient prevented from passing.

Roughly 200 demonstrators marched to Route 34 around 5 p.m. carrying a banner emblazoned with the words “No Ban No Wall New Haven,” they blocked traffic on the highway the ambulance was taking.

Gorsuch nomination meets with positive reception
[CNN] Americans' first impressions of Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch tilt positive, and a plurality say the Senate ought to vote to confirm President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
's selection to replace Justice Antonin Scalia, according to a new CNN/ORC poll.

Overall, 49% say the Senate should vote to confirm Gorsuch, who is a federal judge. That's roughly the same share that said so about Samuel Alito in 2005 and Sonia Sotomayor in 2009 shortly after their nominations were announced. Support for Gorsuch is just a hair below that of former President Barack Obama
Ready to Rule from Day One...
's selection for the same seat, Merrick Garland (52% supported a vote in favor), who did not receive a hearing or confirmation vote in the Senate.

About half say Gorsuch's ideological position is about right (49%), less than said so about Garland (56%). About a third, 34%, say they think Gorsuch will be too conservative, higher than the share who said so of other successful GOP nominees Alito (29%), John Roberts (24%) or Clarence Thomas (20%).

Overall, though, 39% say they have a positive first impression of Gorsuch, significantly higher than the 24% who say they have a negative impression of him. More, 45%, said they had a positive first impression of Garland after his pick was announced last year and 54% felt positively about Roberts after his announcement.

Rumor is that Kennedy will retire in June, so save the big guns for that fight, which will be life or death for the Left.
