op ed review 7/8


THIS WEEK’S NEWS
President Donald Trump asserts that a vote in November for Democrats is a vote for “anarchy, amnesty and chaos.”
President Trump’s job approval rating improved by five points during the establishment media’s manufactured outrage over Trump continuing the Obama administration’s policy of separating illegal alien adults from children at the border.
President Trump’s White House expense cuts might save up to $22 million for American taxpayers compared to the Obama administration.
Trump will tell NATO nations U.S. cannot be the world's piggy bank

Supreme Court's Janus ruling will end cash cow for liberal activists

EPA Chief Scott Pruitt resigns.

The Left’s great hope:  The democratic socialist who won a June primary election to unseat the No. 4 Democrat in the House has more than 1,000 media requests since her victory.
In the Democratic Party, socialism is all the rage. Socialist Bernie Sanders probably would have won the party’s presidential nomination in 2016 if the DNC hadn’t had its thumb on the scale in favor of Mrs. Clinton, and the Democrats’ new “star” is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a socialist like Sanders albeit a far younger one.
DNC Chairman Tom Perez declares that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez represents the “future of our party”. 
Here’s a one-word piece of advice for America’s growing socialist left: Venezuela

Democrats saw nothing positive in the new June jobs report that highlighted 213,000 new jobs added. Instead, the Democratic Party issued a statement criticizing President Trump’s jobs agenda as “reckless.”

Justice Anthony Kennedy announces retirement; Democrats in a panic. New York Times editorial board calls for Democrats to “go to the mattress” over the nominee. “Barring some unforeseen development, the president will lock in a 5-to-4 conservative majority, shifting the court solidly to the right for a generation.”
Liberal political strategists hope to block President Trump's next Supreme Court nominee by replaying a strategy they used to defeat the Republican effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act last year. The multimillion-dollar plan of advertising and grass-roots activism will focus heavily on convincing two RINOs, Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine, to buck the president again.
The real meaning of Democrats’ Supreme Court panic.

COLUMN OF THE WEEK
Michael Reagan  7/7

What a great July 4. The skies over America the Beautiful were filled with fireworks, and the Twittersphere was filled with three Democratic senators blowing themselves up.

My U.S. Senator Kamal Harris, Massachusetts's Elizabeth Warren and New York's Kirsten Gillibrand spent their holiday week attacking President Trump in speeches and tweets. It was rough stuff from three lefties who think they're going to be the next president and apparently think that tweeting like Trump is going to make their delusion come true.

Sen. Harris of California warned her followers that Trump is planning to nominate someone who'll overturn Roe v. Wade because she's certain he wants to punish women "for wanting to control their bodies, their lives, and their futures." Sen. Warren tweeted to her followers and fellow Native Americans that Trump's short list of Supreme Court nominees "was hand-picked by right-wing extremists who want to criminalize abortions." And Sen. Gillibrand echoed socialist Bernie Sanders, hitting the president for strictly enforcing immigration laws that separated illegal immigrants from their children at the Mexican border. No word on what CNN pundit-in-training Stormy Daniels tweeted, probably because she's still touring the senior strip-club circuit.

The Democrats are in deep trouble and they know it. As Trump is only getting stronger, wilier and more popular, Democrats only get more desperate and stupid.

When Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement last week, the thought of President Trump naming his successor sent Democrats into a complete meltdown. The mental state of the typical diehard Democrat or MSNBC host is now somewhere between terrified and my congresswoman Maxine Waters. Somehow the bosses of the desperate Democratic Party have concluded that the only way they're going to capture the House this fall and take the White House away from President Trump in 2020 is to out-Bernie Bernie.

Good luck with that plan in Texas, Florida and Pennsylvania, comrades. But I'm a kinder and gentler Republican. I like to help the less fortunate when I can. I'd like to offer the Democratic leadership a free TV or radio spot to help them. It's not perfect, and it hasn't been cleared yet by the Russians. But maybe they can use it in their fall media campaign. Here goes:
"IF YOU WANT TO SEE TRUMP IMPEACHED, VOTE FOR US ON NOVEMBER 6.
"IF YOU WANT NANCY PELOSI IN CHARGE OF THE HOUSE AGAIN, VOTE FOR US.
"IF YOU WANT SOCIALISM FOR AMERICA LIKE THEY JUST VOTED FOR IN NEW YORK, VOTE FOR US.
"IF YOU WANT TO ELIMINATE BORDER PROTECTION, VOTE FOR US.
"IF YOU WANT A WEAK MILITARY, VOTE FOR US.
"IF YOU DON'T LIKE YOUR FEDERAL INCOME TAX CUT, VOTE FOR US.
"IF YOU WANT MORE ABORTIONS, VOTE FOR US.
"IF YOU WANT TO TURN THE USA INTO CALIFORNIA, VOTE FOR US.
"IF YOU DON'T LIKE AMERICA'S OIL AND GAS BOOM, VOTE FOR US."
I'll leave a dozen other easy examples for desperate Democrats to think up. It'll be easy for them, now that they've dropped their masks and are showing us their true socialist faces. Maybe they can get help from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the socialist from the Bronx who knocked off 10-term incumbent House member Joe Crowley in a Democrat primary last week. She's only 28, but I hear some people think she's the future of the Democratic Party.

If that's true, that's good news for Republicans. The only thing we'll have to worry about now is who we should pick to succeed President Trump in 2024[gf1] .

FROM OTHER COLUMNS
“Trump’s approval among Republicans is at a near-record 87%, comparable to the levels of support for George W. Bush in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. Think about that: The Left’s attacks on Trump have had the same rallying effect for GOP voters as the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.”
                     -Marc A. Thiessen

“Patriotism in America means loving limited government. It is that simple. You love that America has a constitutionally limited government, or you do not love America.”

LEFTIST WATCH
A new book calls for Democrats to “fight dirty”.  Next time they have power, they should “transform American politics in a lasting progressive direction,” The list of proposals is dizzying. Grant statehood to D.C. and Puerto Rico, and break California into seven states, with the goal of adding 16 new Democrats to the Senate. Expand the Supreme Court and the federal courts, packing them with liberal judges. Move to multi-member House districts to roll back the effects of partisan gerrymandering. Pass a new Voting Rights Act, including nationwide automatic voter registration, felon enfranchisement and an end to voter ID laws. Grant citizenship to millions of undocumented immigrants, creating a host of new Democratic-leaning voters: “Republicans have always feared that immigration would change the character of American society. Democrats should reward them with their very worst nightmare.”

Blue wave receding? Republican easily wins Texas special election
Confidence that African Americans, Asians and Hispanics have in their personal finances improving over the next four years should be enough to help GOP leaders retain control of Congress in the midterm elections and reelect President Trump, according to a new survey.

A movement to abandon liberalism and the Democratic Party has gained some serious traction after a video featuring a gay New York hairdresser went viral. “Once upon a time, I was a liberal. Well, to be honest, less than a year ago, I was still a liberal,” Brandon Straka said in the video seen by some five million people on Facebook and YouTube that ignited the #WalkAway campaign.

Based on all the stories about "surging" gasoline prices, you might think the country was about to relive the energy crisis of the late 1970s. The truth is, the cost of filling up today is nowhere near where it was during most of the past decade……During President Obama's 8-years in office, gasoline averaged $3.25 a gallon, in today's dollars. For 14 months during those years, it was above $4 a gallon.

San Francisco proudly calls itself a "progressive" city. It follows what writer and scholar Walter Russell Mead calls the progressive "Blue Model" of governance. Yet, the policies it follows — high taxes, inane regulations, petty nanny-state authoritarianism, tolerance for rising lawlessness and disorder on its streets in the name of "compassion" — are the very ones that have driven middle-class and working-class citizens out. Only the rich and the so-called homeless, who have been welcomed into the city and are a growing issue, can afford to live in the city.

People hoping to settle in the United States wait years for a green card to be legal residents. They play by the rules. Yet these law-abiding newcomers must feel like idiots, watching what’s happening on the southern border. Hundreds of thousands of Central American migrants are walking right in. They’re not waiting in line. They’re using “asylum” requests as their E-ZPass. Just 12 percent of requests from El Salvadorans, 11 percent from Guatemalans and 7.5 percent from Hondurans are actually granted, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Never mind, the request gets them in the door.

“Democrats’ Chicago model requires, first of all, population replacement. Population replacement leads to voter replacement and then cultural replacement. Once population replacement is accomplished, voting will eventually reach a point where it becomes irrelevant. After population replacement, any opposition party to the Democrats can never get enough votes to stop the fundamental transformation of the United States from a constitutional republic to a socialist democracy. Democrats will always have a guaranteed majority once population is replaced. Today, uncontrolled immigration and redefining citizenship are the keystone to unlocking that guaranteed majority.
