[The pro/con outrages in the news about President Trump are filling up sandboxes even faster than usual. And the spate of eagerly published fake news stories that get retracted regularly now are keeping several pots boiling in the intervals. gjr]

Russ 429pm - Another burden put on the liberals' crickets. No one has mentioned the palpable effect that such a call from Mexico would have had on the November election.
With all the confounding factors that may/not have influenced the vote, I believe citing the popular vote to pro/con any argument is now beyond moot and a waste of time.

Steven Bannon? Never heard of him.
Posted by: Bill Tozer | 25 January 2017 at 04:34 PM
Goodness Bill never heard of Stephen or Steve Bannon? He was only Trumps Campaign manager. You surprise me on this one.
Google Steve Bannon and you get this.
Stephen Kevin "Steve" Bannon is the Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor to President Donald Trump, and before assuming those positions, was President Trump's 2016 presidential campaign manager, and was a businessman and media executive.

Well if there are indeed millions of fraudulent voters then the final results may not be accurate. How best to correct this than to have a new election. Seems logical to me.
Knock yourself out! You get them to schedule a new election and the drinks are on me.
It's been noted that Steve Bannon has multiple registrations in his name and he is indeed a Trump supporter so how do we know he didn't vote twice for Trump?
Do we know if he voted at all?
Posted by: fish | 25 January 2017 at 04:51 PM
Still can't find anything of Steve Bannon. I even did a keyword search through Wikileaks. Anybody here know who Steve Bannon is? Maybe it's Steven not Septhen. Nothing except a British tailor who makes lingerie for Scottish women in his small shop.

As I recall, LIBS on many occasions sued to stop states from updating and purging voter rolls. It was,, "racist". Even against dead people.
How dare any state ask for ID! If LIBS wanted fair elections,,, Ah Hell... why bother.. They don't.
Posted by: Walt | 25 January 2017 at 05:00 PM
No Much of the talk has been about multiple registrations and this was just an example.
This whole issue is just fake news orchestrated by Trump because his ego has been damaged by the fact that Hillary got millions more votes than he did. He is such a tender soul. The slightest thing puts him in a froth like the photo's that show how puny attendance was at his inauguration compared to Obama. Poor guy. Tough to live with such an ego.

Ah, play them like a fiddle, President Trump. Yank their chain, lol. Did you see Obama's numbers at this time in his administration? Earthshaking. Did you see the polls when Truman's transition team was being assembled? Anybody hear about the Hoover's crowd size? Steve Bannon? Who is Steve Bannon?

Been waiting for this one3
Trump, according to his yet-to-be-signed executive order, will cut that program by more half to 50,000. The order said while the program is suspended, the U.S. may admit people on a case-by-case basis "when in the national interest" and the government would continue to process refugee requests from people claiming religious persecution, "provided that the religion....is a minority religion in the individual's country." That suggests that would allow the admission of Christians from Muslim-majority countries.
Smart move: take your case to the people: Put it our there.

Trump is really making a fool of himself on this one even with the Republicans
House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz said Wednesday he doesn't "see any evidence" of voter fraud, and his committee won't investigate it.
Earlier in the day, President Donald Trump said he wanted to launch an investigation, after claiming -- without evidence -- between 3 to 5 million fraudulent votes had been cast in the 2016 election, costing him the popular vote.
From Speaker of the House Paul Ryan:
“I’ve seen no evidence to that effect. I’ve made that very, very clear,”

You know, every comic from Chris Rock to the lot of them say they no longer can do campus gigs. No laughs, not one, and a very tough crowd. Liberals have no sense of humor and it's getting worse from there. Very serious glum lot and everything offends them.
So, the way I see it, alongs comes Milo as a right wing comic doing his spiel on our triggered college campuses. They need some laughs.
Milo told the female Social Justice Warriors the reason they push for and demand birth control as a right because it gives them an excuse to be sluts, lol. Funny guy.
Two months after his appearance, they are still seeking therapy in the aftermath of his appearance. The temporary safe place room set up for Milo's appearance is still open and used daily.....two months after Milo's appearance. Let that sink in. Two months later and still getting therapy. They are more fragile and unprepared for life than anything have seen, conceived, or entered the mind of man.
Milo is a funny guy. :)

So how much election tampering is acceptable to you Paul? 10 votes? 100? 1000? One is too many in mine.
Posted by: Walt | 25 January 2017 at 08:23 PM

Walt @ 9:04. Ivank walked into a public school yesterday looking just fine and every mouth dropped. She said "Hi kids, I'm your new First Day Lady and you can ea anything you want."
I know how to really get to them. The day after the lection, it was good vibes listening to the Laura Ingram Show. But, this elderly black woman (indentified only as M.

Oh, we backed out of an area and let the Russian jets in to clear the battlefield.

Public Watchdog Groups are not buying their is no evidence of voter fraud.
One legal organization took action on preventing voter fraud this week. The Public Interest Legal Foundation, a voter integrity group, reached a consent decree with Noxubee County, Mississippi, which has had voter registration that exceeds the number of county residents since 2011, according to the group. A consent decree is a legal agreement between two parties without an acknowledgment of guilt.
[ooo]
An investigation into voter fraud would not be complicated, said Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, a government watchdog group.
“You can see the numbers we are talking about by looking at public voter registration lists and cross-checking that against a list of noncitizens,” Fitton told The Daily Signal. “The federal government could coordinate with state and local governments and determine who registered to vote illegally. It’s a simple process. That’s why the left is so upset. They know the jig is up.”
Enforcing the law is long overdue, said Hans von Spakovsky, manager of the Election Law Reform Initiative at The Heritage Foundation.
“We don’t need [to create] a commission. The Justice Department can enforce the law and work with the Department of Homeland Security, and its records for citizenship and change of status to get an idea of who is illegally registered to vote,” von Spakovsky told The Daily Signal.
Regardless of the investigation’s outcome, von Spakovsky expects critics will dismiss anything that falls short of Trump’s 3 to 5 million illegal voter estimate.
“They may try to dismiss this, but the American people don’t believe what the media say about voter fraud not being real,” von Spakovsky said. “Polling solidifies that.”

Looks like Trump is doing some heavy butt kicking already. And for poll watchers his numbers are on the rise! He is a doer. Why Paul Emery supports fraud in our elections is really sad. We should all be concerned. But since the left are the ones doing it to such a great degree we can see why they want to do nothing.
The EPA employees came to work and cried a river about Trump's putting the skids on them. And after a couple of hours those EPA criers were fined for creating a wetlands in DC.

Just wondering, does anyone agree with me that Merrick Garland might be a perfect nominee for Trump's second SCOTUS nominee? Ginsberg's time is limited and while I do not wish illness, her health may be as shaky as her best friend on the court, the late Justice Scalia and her time may be short.
I think that would put the average Democrat in the position of a devout Christian Scientist with appendicitis. It would allow a Trump to make the court less left-liberal but put left-liberals in the Senate in a difficult position were they to try to bork him.
Borking, we should all remember, is what Biden and the least of the Kennedy Bros. did when Reagan nominated perhaps the shining star of conservative jurisprudence, Robert Bork, because they didn't want a moderate replaced with a Bork who everyone expected could demolish the arguments for landmark decisions such as Roe v. Wade.
The eventual nominee was the moderate Justice Kennedy, a fine legal mind but a Bork he was not.

I saw an analysis that pointed out that the Trump admin. has a law on the books to use as a hammer, it bans non-citizens from transferring money overseas.

Can you give me some documentation on your 6:28? Fascinating if true.
Posted by: Paul Emery | 26 January 2017 at 07:25 PM
Don, a tax on wire transfers of remittances could be a start. This will take time to feel comfortable with new policies and old laws on the books for enforcement agencies. Illegal Alien Criminals in prison are the low hanging fruit. They are not going anywhere. Eventually we need to get to a good orderly system of legal immigration, temporary and permanent.
The "Muslim Moratorium" is just a 120 day pause to get a system in place and have everybody ready to go with the new ideas. Remember, an attack now happens on Trump's watch. The latest attacks have come from second generation Muslims that became radicalized here. That may never change.
All in all, looking down the road and seeing the global migration north, the Wall will have to be built anyway, in one form or another. One big drought, economic collapses, or bloody civil wars in South America will send millions more north. And more migration from the Eastern Hemisphere is routing its way thru South and Central America to then head north. Ironically, Mexico is the most dangerous leg of the journey. Best to plan ahead. Better to have orderly processes than a chaotic mess.
Posted by: Bill Tozer | 26 January 2017 at 07:32 PM
Not so sorry to burst your bubble PE but the President is on record saying that IF Russia does certain things in the future there could be consideration of some relaxing down the road. He has not done anything to slow the new ones either. Much of what he does on many issues is to set the stage for tough negotiations.
Mexico has no bullets in a trade war, they hold a massive trade surplus with us which makes them vulnerable. Factor in the remittance issue and we have them by the throat. Lets not forget the Mexican government facilitated tons of central and south American illegal aliens. They enforce their southern boarder ruthlessly. They started giving transit papers to illegals that expedited their travel to the northern Mexican boarder to cross here illegally. The cartels have subverted all the Mexican states in the boarder region.
You gotta love the swamp draining, 0's boarder patrol chief, fired. All of 0/Kerry/madam liar liar pantsuits on fires lackeys at State are GONE! Too many draining's to list! Don't worry for them, they will get professorships at left wing schools. ;-)

BT- Normal, skill based immigration would be a nice place to end up. There should be a sliding scale of how many get in that is tied to economic stats like the number of capable citizens out of the workforce. If we have close to a 100 million out of the workforce we need to scale back the numbers of new arrivals until we get back to normal numbers for citizens. ;-)

Thanks PE, your wishing for a voting investigation paid off in a big way. Sean Spicer said the investigations would start in CA and NY. ;-)

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that those were the States that Trump lost by huge margins.

Sounds like an investigation is indeed prudent.
Good call Mr. President!

Really Brad? Trump has already accomplished more in less than a week than "O" did in 8 years.

Walt....how can you say such things?
I mean David Brooks hasn't written a fawning....dare I say fellatial article praising the crease in Mr. Trumps slacks yet or publicly gotten a case of the "tingles" like Chris Matthews!
No president can truly be great until these events occur!

Trump is making the slow boat to China crowd really nervou=s and uncertain. That is what the voters wanted who voted for him. BradC represents to opposition who wanted the status quo of more Obama, the worst President in my llifetime.

President-elect Donald Trump lost by only 27,000 votes statewide in Nevada. So 9,200 fraudulent voters in one small Assembly district is more than 1/3 of the total margin that Trump lost by.

If you are not looking for voter fraud you will never find it, on the other hand, if you are looking for it, chances are you will find it.
Here is a chapter describing what Judicial Watch found:

More on Nevada
As bad as that is, the problem is much worse. Mr. Vaughan has the Election Department cumulative daily voter turnout rolls in which some serious and impossible anomalies were found to exist. Through November 2nd the reports indicated that 10,000 people in his district had voted and as of two days later another 2,466 had voted. However, 1,900 votes by independents, 3rd party and non-partisan voters disappeared in that two day period of time.
At the same time another 3,200 increase in Democrat turnout was registered while 1,000 Republicans are shown to have voted. The total number of votes recorded during that two day period was 2, 466. There’s no way the number of votes cast could have decreased without fraud being involved and the totals simply don’t match up. Somebody is monkeying with the system and generating 180% voter turnout as well.

My response in the Union to Larsen's screed against Trump and his voters.
"Of course he is what we expected. Apparently you were not listening fr the last two years. He listed all those things he wanted to do and he is now doing them. 65 million Americans said let's give him a chance to restore America from the hands of you left-wingers. Bring back sanity to America and boot the policies of the worst President in my lifetime. America is so great that we can endure the terrible governance of a socialist like Obama and then bounce back to sanity with Trump and do it without bloodshed.
You liberals need to get real. We are sick of you and your push to control every aspect of our lives with baloney laws and good intentions. Leave us alone. And what about your constant babble about "choice"? You give us none yet we must endure your constant whining that we need to pay for yours. America got straight again and maybe we will see some "righting" of the ship. So far so good and it has been only four days. You libs took eight years to screw things up so get real and calm down."

You'd think.

Yes FISH, there is something in the water that triggers the insanity of a liberal. Does not seem to affect conservatives though. We must endure this I guess. And the leftwing fascists are seeping into the paper every day.

This is how It is going to be for a long time. A day or two of riding that bull through the wall with Fish swinging on the wrecking ball above and we all fist pumping in the air, then full blown barrage of blowback. There is a pattern and rhythm to all this. Action, reaction, or action, pause while the last gaspers recover from having the air knocked out them...then full blown assault from land and sea and air 24/7...for a couple of days.
And just when it seems like they are getting their footing, President Trump to the rescue.

Me thinks rational based discussions of issues cannot take place in this emotional environment. Like, they just go on and on and on....blah, blah, blah. Remember, therapy needed two months after Milo told them the reason they ban together as Social Justice Warriors is because they are so unfun that nobody else on campus wants to be around them. They still have not recovered. And Trump does not have Milo's charming style. This is going to take awhile. Some people don't do change gracefully.

Don't say I didn't tell you so. Payback time. Great foreign policy. Cuddle up to our enemies and alienate our friends (Mexico)
Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump are likely to discuss the sanctions that Washington imposed on Russia over the conflict in Ukraine when the two leaders speak by telephone on Saturday, a senior White House aide said.
Trump has said in the past that, as part of a rapprochement he is seeking with Russia, he is prepared to review sanctions that his predecessor, Barack Obama, imposed on Russia over its 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea Peninsula.
Trump senior aide Kellyanne Conway said in U.S. television interviews on Friday that Trump and Putin would likely discuss a range of issues, including joint efforts to combat terrorism.
Asked on FOX News’s “Fox & Friends” program to comment on suggestions that the Obama administration sanctions would be on the agenda, Conway said: “All of that is under consideration.”

I was surprised that the Alt-Left complex really wanted to open the can of illegal voter fraud worms. There are fortunately some experienced and wiser Democrats who knew this will not end well. Case closed. Dare not look that way...put it back in pantry. Nothing to see hear. Kids nowadays. Everybody knows it millions, duh. Well, everyone who has seen it countless times before. And it's just keeps getting bigger every time you kick over a rock.
Intended consequences, all wrapped up in the guise of stopping racial bias.
