If Democrats Win In November, It Will Be Catastrophic

Nancy Pelosi’s post-election plans uncovered (stunning!)

AUGUST 27, 2018

House Minority Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s post-election plans have been uncovered — and they involve an anti-Trump plot that is “churning stomachs” among conservative lawmakers.

If Democrats take power after the November 6th midterm election, they’re going to pull out all the stops against President Donald Trump. But their plan doesn’t need difficult things like evidence or facts to work.

Pelosi just needs a majority share of Congress’ votes — and she’ll shut down America until the 2020 presidential election. Democrats plan to either impeach Trump, or cripple his presidency by unleashing over 100 investigations to overwhelm the White House’s legal team.

Since losing the 2016 election, Democrats have attempted to file these 100 legal subpoenas against Trump. The U.S. House of Representatives, under Republican control, has ignored the constant flood investigation demands — but if Democrats come to power, party leadership is quietly telling supporters that it will all change.

Pelosi plans to make life “a living hell” for Trump and his political allies by overwhelming them with investigations on everything.

Taxes. Employment records. Federal judge dismissals. Even Trump’s in-laws behavior.

If you can name it, Democrats promise they’ll order an investigation.

They don’t need evidence enough to impeach Trump to effectively stop him. They plan to stop the White House from even functioning by ordering investigators to line up around the block at the White House every day. They promise to raid and interrogate each and every morning, and be back in the afternoon.

“If Democrats win the majority in November, we would finally do what Republicans have refused to do, and that is conduct independent, fact-based, and credible investigations of the Trump Administration to address issues like the security clearance process, conflicts of interest, the numerous attempts by Republicans to strip away healthcare from millions of Americans, postal service reforms, prescription drug pricing, and voting rights,” Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, promised supporters.

House Republicans have created a spreadsheet of the over-100 pending investigations.

“The spreadsheet includes requests for administration officials to be grilled by committee staff, requests for hearings to obtain sworn testimony, efforts to seize communications about controversial policies and personnel decisions, and subpoena threats,” Axios reported. “These demands would turn the Trump White House into a 24/7 legal defense operation.”

Michael Volkov, an expert in government investigations, told CNBC things would be “wild” and scary if Democrats win. House Majority Speaker Paul Ryan, Republican, warned it would unleash “chaos.”

“What you’ll have is absolute gridlock. You’ll have subpoenas,” said Ryan. “You’ll have just the system shutting down.”

Pelosi plans to stop America from even functioning… unless voters can stop her in November.

Is This The Right Solution?

Bombshell archbishop letter demands Pope Francis resign in cover-up of McCarrick sex abuse scandal

The Vatican’s former U.S. ambassador has dropped a bombshell letter that says Pope Francis should resign for his alleged role in covering up sexual abuse allegations against Cardinal Theodore McCarrick.

What happened?

McCarrick resigned from the College of Cardinals in June amid sexual abuse allegations. The College advises the pope on the governance of the Catholic Church and elects a successor if a pope dies or resigns.

In an 11-page statement dated August 22, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò writes that Pope Benedict had imposed “canonical sanctions” on Cardinal McCarrick between 2009 to 2010 that forbid him from traveling, celebrating Mass in public, or participating in public meetings. McCarrick was relegated to a life of prayer and penance, according to the statement. Viganò added that Pope Francis later lifted these sanctions and made McCarrick a close personal adviser.

Viganò states that he came forward because bishops “must have the courage to tear down the culture of secrecy and publicly confess the truths we have kept hidden.”

His letter concludes with a call for Pope Francis’ resignation.

Viganò wrote: “…Now that “the corruption has reached the very top of the Church’s hierarchy, my conscience dictates that I reveal those truths regarding the heart-breaking case of the Archbishop Emeritus of Washington, D.C., Theodore McCarrick, which I came to know in the course of the duties.”

Cardinal McCarrick had a long friendship with Cardinal Bergoglio and played and “important part” in his recent election, according to Viganò. That led to the pope to continue using McCarrick as a trusted aide in the naming of bishops even after learning of his misdeeds.

Viganò alleges that he informed the pope of McCarrick’s abuse on June 23, 2013, but Francis “continued to cover for him.”

Francis still “did not take into account the sanctions that Pope Benedict had imposed on him,” Viganò stated in the letter, which was published Sunday by The National Catholic Register, LifeSiteNews, and other outlets.

Viganò claims that Pope Francis only took action against Cardinal McCarrick when he was forced to do so by the public report of the cardinal’s abuse of a minor. He also believes he did so “to save his image in the media.”

Viganò joins other bishops and priests who have recently linked together the abuse crisis and the cover-up of an extensive “homosexual network” in the Catholic Church.

“These homosexual networks, which are now widespread in many dioceses, seminaries, religious orders, etc., act under the concealment of secrecy and lies,” he wrote, “and strangle innocent victims and priestly vocations, and are strangling the entire Church.”

Did he call the Pope ‘evil’?

Viganò concludes his report by calling the pope “evil.”

“I want to recall this indefectible truth of the Church’s holiness to the many people who have been so deeply scandalized by the abominable and sacrilegious behavior of the former Archbishop of Washington, Theodore McCarrick; by the grave, disconcerting and sinful conduct of Pope Francis and by the conspiracy of silence of so many pastors, and who are tempted to abandon the Church, disfigured by so many ignominies,” he said.

He continued:

We need to intervene where evil is spreading; for evil spreads where daring Christians who oppose evil with good are lacking. If this is rightly to be considered a serious moral responsibility for every believer, how much graver is it for the Church’s supreme pastor, who in the case of McCarrick not only did not oppose evil but associated himself in doing evil with someone he knew to be deeply corrupt. He followed the advice of someone he knew well to be a pervert, thus multiplying exponentially with his supreme authority the evil done by McCarrick. And how many other evil pastors is Francis still continuing to prop up in their active destruction of the Church!

Viganò also calls for the the pope and anyone else involved in cover-ups to resign.

Hopefully The Bull Will Not Be Slain Until After The Midterms!

**Stop Trump from Being Impeached**

Democrat presidential hopeful Senator Elizabeth Warren recently released her tax returns. The returns show that she has a relationship with a natural gas company her Dem voters might not be happy about.

According to The Daily Caller:

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren received royalty payments in 2017 from one of the largest natural gas producers in the nation, according to tax return documents her campaign released Wednesday.

Warren received $121 in royalty payments in 2017 from Chesapeake Operating, LLC, a subsidiary company of Chesapeake Energy, according to her tax return. Chesapeake is the second-largest natural gas producer in the nation behind Exxon Mobil and is the most active driller of new gas wells in the country.

Chesapeake has been hit with over $17 million in fines relating to environmental and leasing violations since 2007, the largest being a $3.2 million fine levied in 2013 after one of its subsidiary companies dumped unauthorized materials into dozens of streams and wetlands in West Virginia.

The natural gas royalties Warren collected in 2017 is negligible in comparison to her estimated net worth of between $3.7 and $10 million, however, the existence of the Democrat’s financial ties with Chesapeake is curious considering her aggressive stance against the energy industry.

Senator Warren does not like the energy industry unless of course, it is making her a lot of money.

Everytime She Opens Her Mouth She Proves That She Is An Idiot

Ocasio-Cortez Does It Again: ‘Americans Are Dying’ From Global Warming

Ocasio-Cortez Does It Again: 'Americans Are Dying' From Global Warming

BY BENJAMIN ARIE
AUGUST 24, 2018 AT 3:21PM

Democratic socialist candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may have met her toughest opponent yet … and it’s not a political challenger.

It’s reality.

The wide-eyed 28-year-old, who is running for Congress in New York, has already made a series of gaffes which call into question her grasp of basic economics and international relations.

Bernie-backed Ocasio-Cortez more recently put her foot in her mouth by declaring that Immigration and Customs Enforcement “sexually assaults women with impunity,” despite not having any solid evidence to back up this shocking claim.

That wild accusation was even more disturbing in light of the sexually-motivated murder of Mollie Tibbetts by an illegal alien, the exact kind of situation that ICE agents are working overtime to prevent.

The socialist candidate seems to be the gift that keeps on giving. Not deterred by her chain of blunders, Ocasio-Cortez made yet anther hysterical claim on Wednesday, and it’s about as far away from factual as possible.

In a hand-wringing Twitter post on August 22nd, she insisted that global warming was killing Americans.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

✔@Ocasio2018

US House candidate, NY-14

Our children’s lives are on the line.

Not a single elected official, Democrat OR Republican, should accept money from fossil fuel corporations.

Americans are dying because of a government too coward to save the planet.

It’s wrong.
And we will need a Green New Deal to survive.

“Our children’s lives are on the line,” Ocasio-Cortez began, getting an early start on the cliched hyperbole.

Do you believe Ocasio-Cortez should be called out for spreading hysteria with no facts?

“Americans are dying because of a government too coward (sic) to save the planet,” she continued. “It’s wrong. And we will need a Green New Deal to survive.”

Yes, Americans — but especially the children— are dying from climate change and unless we elect socialists like her, we won’t survive.

Setting aside the fact that the college-educated Democrat apparently can’t spell “cowardly,” there are more holes in her argument than even Al Gore sees in the ozone layer.

The socialist provided no backing for her over-the-top claim. Which Americans? Where? How? But don’t worry, we’re on the case anyway.

First is the pesky fact that life expectancy for Americans is going up, not down. A child born in the U.S. today can reasonably expect to live to be over 78 years old. That’s the highest it’s ever been, and up a whopping ten years from just 1963.

In other words, even if you believe that global warming has been increasing over the last half a century — something that experts are still debating — American life expectancy is increasing at the exact same time.

An inconvenient truth, indeed.

But what about pollution? Contrary to liberal claims that the U.S. desperately needs to join international agreements like the Paris accord in order to clean up its act, the data shows that America is leading the way when it comes to green living among major nations.

“In the most recent WHO report on air pollution, the United States was listed as one of the countries with the cleanest air in the world, significantly cleaner in fact than the air in Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the UK, Japan, Austria and France,” Breitbart recently explained.

Alright, but surely deadly hurricanes, like the one currently barreling down on Hawaii, can be blamed on global warming. Right?

Wrong. Despite attempts by the media to link a perceived increase in tropical storms to global warming, scientists say there just isn’t enough evidence to make that claim.

“It is premature to conclude that human activity — and particularly greenhouse warming — has already caused a detectable change in Atlantic hurricane activity,” the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration admitted earlier this year.

In simple terms, even if some experts suspect that hurricanes may become more intense at some point in the future, the data doesn’t show it happening yet, which completely deflates Ocasio-Cortez’s sweeping claim about “Americans dying” because of warming.

The former director of the National Hurricane Center said essentially the same thing during a CNN appearance last year, during much media hype about supposedly “unprecedented” storm activity near the United States.

“I’m not — I probably wouldn’t attribute what we’re looking at here (to global warming),” stated hurricane expert Bill Reed.

“This is not an uncommon occurrence to see storms grow and intensify rapidly in the western Gulf of Mexico,” he continued, taking the wind out of CNN’s sails. “That’s as long as we’ve been tracking them, that has occurred.”

Here’s the bottom line: Every good news outlet, including this one, is expected to base their stories on fact. That’s why we provide links to sources and have high editorial standards for every article.

Public officials and candidates for office must be held to the same general standard. When someone like Ocasio-Cortez runs their mouth, for lack of a better term, and spouts off fear-based nonsense with no factual sources, everyone loses.

The left claims to hold the high ground on science. That’s debatable, but the New York socialist’s hysteria-as-platform approach is the opposite of factual … and it’s ridiculous no matter where you fall on the political spectrum.
