[COURANT] Police jugged Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! protesters demonstrating against 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 immigration restrictions and his proposal to build a wall along the Mexican border as the protesters blocked the Route 34 connector into New Haven Saturday afternoon.
Route 34 was closed for about 20 minutes as state police and the New Haven police removed about 100 to 200 protesters, according to the state police.While the protesters were being removed, they got in the way of an ambulance carrying a critically ill patient, state police said. The ambulance personnel had to perform an emergency medical procedure in the vehicle, police said.
Police said that they identified the leader as Norman Clement, and that when officers approached, he ran, knocking over other people before being apprehended, state police said. State police said Clement resisted arrest and was hit with pepper spray.
Clement, 66, a New Haven resident, was charged with inciting a riot, disorderly conduct, interfering with an officer and reckless used of the highway by a pedestrian. He was released on a $5,000 surety bond and is scheduled to appear in Superior Court in New Haven on Feb. 13.
Several others were jugged Please don't kill me! during the protest, police said.
According to the New Haven Register, protesters said that their demonstration was peaceful and that police "appeared to be looking for a confrontation."
The Register reported that Attorney Patricia Kane, who was representing both Clement and Nate Blair, said "there was no violence on the part of any demonstrator."
Kane told The Register that Clement was hospitalized and Blair was released on a promise to appear in court and charged with disorderly conduct.
Kane said Clement "was targeted for some reason and treated very roughly. Basically, when told to get on the sidewalk [protesters] tried to comply.

Unfortunately, they'll likely find a friendly judge who will just slap them on the wrists, like my hometown judge did to those punks that blocked I-93 in Milton two years ago.
[EW] Most people turn to diets and exercise to lose extra pounds, but Girls star Lena Dunham is sharing a new weight-loss trick you may not want to try at home. Probably all the puking she did.
Dunham stopped by Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio show Monday morning and revealed that she has none other than 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... to thank for her slim figure. "Slim" should be in scare quotes...
"Donald Trump became president and I stopped being able to eat food," she told Stern after he complimented her look. "Everyone’s been asking like, ’What have you been doing?’ And I’m like, ’Try soul-crushing pain and devastation and hopelessness and you, too, will lose weight.'" At the link: Lena demonstrates some mad eighth-grade girlz skills at eye makeup...
Hairstyle and shirt resurrected from that stage in her life, too.

[GP] The End Zone Militia for the New England Patriots are being snubbed for the Patriot’s victory parade on Tuesday.
Members of the End Zone Militia were told by the City of Boston that they cannot participate in the victory parade for the Superbowl Champions.
Fox 25 Boston reports that two years the End Zone Militia walked the route leading a duck boat.
The End Zone Militia is hoping that the City of Boston changes it’s mind before the parade.
Is it possible that the City of Boston is snubbing the group because they have muskets, are too patriotic, and are deemed offensive to liberals? What ever the reason, it is likely to be politically motivated.

This is so stupid, I don't know where to begin. I don't think this was ever a problem when Menino was mayor of Boston; I guess union guy Mahhty Walsh let the lefties get to him. Which is okay - he'll be under indictment soon.
[ABC] The speaker of the British House of Commons was greeted with cheers today after he announced his opposition to President Trump addressing Parliament during his state visit to the U.K.
Speaker John Bercow pointed to Trump’s recent executive order barring citizens from seven Muslim-majority nation from travelling to the U.S. as part of the reason he could not support a Trump address.
"I would not wish to issue an invitation to President Trump to speak in the Royal Gallery," Bercow said during a session of Parliament, citing the body’s "opposition to racism and to sexism and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary."
Prime Minister Theresa May invited Trump to make a state visit during her meeting with the leader in Washington last month. The invitation has attracted significant controversy back in the U.K., one of the U.S.’s most important global allies.
A petition calling for the invitation to be rescinded garnered 1.8 million signatures and is now set to be debated in Parliament later this month. Thousands of demonstrators flooded the streets of London and other cities across the U.K. last week to protest Trump’s executive order. An estimated 10,000 protesters demonstrated in front of 10 Downing St., the prime minister's residence, chanting "shame on May" and other slogans opposing the invitation.
..make the man reconsider the American commitment to NATO.
(NB world, the US is probably one of the few countries that could go it alone. It would be tough, but most of you would be in the dust bin of history.)
[Free Beacon] The top lawyer for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign has joined the board of a major Democratic Super PAC funded by liberal billionaire George Soros to lead its efforts against state voting laws.
Marc Elias, a partner at the D.C.-based Perkins Coie law firm who is the go-to fixer for Democrats, has joined the board of Priorities USA Action, the largest liberal Super PAC that threw its weight behind Hillary Clinton.
Priorities tapped Elias as the group prepares to shift its focus on pushing back against state-level Republican efforts dealing with voting laws, CNN reports. Priorities will also absorb Every Citizen Counts, a nonprofit created by Clinton allies that focused on mobilizing Latino and African American voters.
Elias will spearhead Priorities USA's challenges against the voting laws from their nonprofit arm. The group is building a national database "that's intended to serve as a one-stop inventory of restrictive voting measures which will be shared with other progressive organizations," CNN reported. Additionally, Priorities plans to beef up its staff as it prepares to launch advocacy campaigns centered on their challenges.

"Against state voting laws" Elias, an attorney at Perkins Coie, is involved with the Ohio Organizing Collaborative beginning in May when he filed a lawsuit on its behalf to challenge the state’s voter identification laws. Now the group is being investigated by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal investigation after a local board of elections alleged that 25 to 30 of the voter-registration applications that the group submitted appeared to be fraudulent.
Dave Johnson, vice-chairman of the Columbiana County Board of Elections, said that the board contacted the sheriff’s office once they began noticing frequent problems with the registrations submitted by the Ohio Organizing Collaborative.

“They have turned in roughly 530 voter registrations, of which five of them were dead people,” said Johnson. “They actually had the dead people’s drivers license numbers and Social Security numbers, and of course they forged the signatures of these dead people.”
Adam Booth, the county’s elections chairman, said that a pattern of fraud quickly became evident when processing the forms submitted by the Ohio Organizing Collaborativ

The biggest recipient of Soros-connected cash in the GOP was none other than House Speaker Paul Ryan, who repeatedly attempted to undermine Trump over the course of the election. According to the records available online, the Soros firm's workers gave $10,800 to Ryan.
For Mr. Soros that's an insultingly small amount...
Included in that are two separate May 2, 2016, donations from David Rogers, a then-employee of Soros Fund Management who lives in New York City. Rogers left the Soros Fund Management firm right around that time.

All this shows is that some Soros employees are Republicans and/or conservatives, just as Steve Bannon used to work for Goldman Sachs, which is mostly Democratic and liberal.

The insinuation that Speaker Ryan is a Soros puppet is laughable. But hey, Breitbart knows there's plenty of simpletons out there to swallow their click bait.

Interesting, though, how they take the money and then oppose everything Trump wants to do.

...and then opose everything Trump wants to do.
Really...everything? Hmmm...I do recall Ryan stating his opposition to Trump's blanket ban on Muslim travel to the US. And he wasn't ready to back him up on his rich big shots are entitled to free snatch grabs theory. Other then that he's pretty much towed the line. Or am I missing something?
But the moslem ban is huge. There is no excuse for allowing foreigners to dictate US immigration policy. The GOP must get behind the president on this one.
You really hit a nerve there, DepotGuy, because I'm getting damn sick and tired of watching all these radical leftist and moslems getting air time on the nightly news every night going on and on and on about how mean old Trump won't let terrorists into the country. Trump was elected by the citizens of this country to do exactly what he's doing and your RINO buddies are joining the Soros crowd in attempting to stop him. I can't wait until the next time some of these idiots are up for reelection and Trump campaigns against them.

I'm less concerned with their accepting the $ than what they committed to doing for it.

...and your RINO buddies are joining the Soros crowd in attempting to stop him.
Let's get this straight. I'm not sticking up for Ryan, RINO's, or whomever. I'm also not bashing Trump nor his policies. I'm saying the Breitbart article is bullshit. A couple of campaign contributions from unknown brokers means nothing.The whole agenda for this network of Trump boot lickin websites is to rile up the rubes so they babble on about primary challenges. A shot over the bow if you will. It appears Team Trump see their biggest challenge will come from the right. If true, I suspect it will be from conservatives not RINO's.
#19
What the article doesn't say and which is, of course, much more difficult to prove is how much Soros reimbursed his underlings for their contributions. But we know from experience with many other cases that this is a common practice. Maybe he just gave them a little raise or a Christmas bonus. Can't say for sure of course.

Common Abu, you can't buy a House Speaker for 10800.

So the day after election they have to raise money. T visit a senator it costs $2,300 just to get in the door. Lib or not, they charge for access, into their reelection campaign. This is the fleecing and how it works and id monitored by law. Its the super pacs that really drive the money and they are wide open for funding...

Ryan's wife Janna Little has been a left wing progressive all of her life along with many of her family members. Janna also is a big Soros supporter who voted for Obama twice.
I can't stand to be around someone talking crap about their left leaning liberal views for more than a few minutes repeating talking points and never listening to your point of view. So IMHO to be married to such a liberal is very telling.
Ryan just seems to have a lot of liberal influence in his life. Suspicious? You bet.

[CNSNEWS] "I have not called for the impeachment (of 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... ) yet," Rep. Comrade Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) told a news conference on Monday. "He's doing it himself."
On Friday, Waters said she hoped Trump would not serve for four years: "And my greatest is to lead him right into impeachment."
On Monday, Waters clarified: "Let me just say the statement I made was a statement in response to questions and pleas that I am getting from many citizens across this country. What are we going to do?
You could 1) support him when he's right and 2) constructively criticize and oppose him when he's wrong. I learned that in seventh-grade civics class, Maxine, so it isn't exactly hard.

“And knowing that he’s responsible for supplying the bombs that killed innocent children and families in, um, in, um,” she said, forgetting the name before someone behind her murmured, “Aleppo.” “Yeah, in Aleppo,” she said.
Waters continued, “And the fact that he is wrapping his arms around Putin while Putin is continuing to advance into Korea.”
McConnell told CNN's Jake Tapper that, although there are instances of voter fraud, he believes that it's not "as widespread as Trump claims" and that combating voter fraud should be an issue "best left to the states" instead of the federal government.
"Election fraud does occur," he told CNN's State of the Union, adding that "there's no evidence that occurred in such a significant number that it would have changed the presidential election."
"I don't think we ought to spend any federal money investigating that. I think the states can take a look at this issue. Many of them have tried to tighten their voter rolls, tried to purge people who are dead," McConnell said.
As long as the Justice Department does not continue interfering the way it did under President Obama, the states will be able to handle it just fine. In quite a few of them True the Vote has already done yeoman's work for free.

California, Oregon, and Washington will never investigate Voter Fraud if left to their own devices. They have to protect their phoney-baloney jobs at all costs.

Until 2013 the Federal Government was in de-facto charge of elections in southern, which were predominately Democrat, states. In June 2013, in a huge blow to democracy perfectly rational decision, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the coverage formula used for Section 5 of the VRA, which required jurisdictions with significant histories of voter discrimination to “pre-clear” any new voting practices or procedures, i.e., get federal approval from the Department of Justice, and show that they do not have a discriminatory purpose or effect.
Importantly, however, the 5-4 decision did not strike down Section 5 itself, leaving it to Congress to devise a new coverage formula. The ACLU is working with Congress to do just that.

The thing is, even if it didn't change the Presidential election it might very well have changed a number of Congressional districts and should be investigated.

What if World War II had been reported the way the establishment media writes about the global jihad today? The question is pertinent in light of the ongoing demonization of Trump adviser Steven K. Bannon, who is now being vilified by establishment media for a ten-year-old unproduced film project discussing the jihad threat.
Matea Gold of the Washington Post described the film in lurid terms:
The flag fluttering above the U.S. Capitol is emblazoned with a crescent and star. Chants of "Allahu Akbar" rise from inside the building.
That’s the provocative opening scene of a documentary-style movie outlined 10 years ago by Stephen K. Bannon that envisioned radical Muslims taking over the country and remaking it into the "Islamic States of America," according to a document describing the project obtained by The Washington Post.
Hate-mongering! Fear-mongering!
Right?
...Imagine if this were 1930, and the Southern Poverty Law Center existed, and it issued a lavishly illustrated, meticulously "documented" report on critics of the Nazis, dubbing them "anti-German hate group leaders."
They would include profiles of Winston Churchill, Edgar Mowrer, and other early critics of Hitler, noting when each had made false claims about Hitler -- false, that is, according to the Nazis -- and charging them with "hate" and "anti-German bias."
