HALF-FULL REPORT 05/19/17

The current cover of TIME Magazine, issued yesterday, May 18, is the Lying Swine media’s ultimate descent into Fake News Lunacy.

It brings to mind the old question of whether a jungle witch doctor actually believes in the delusions he’s dispensing to his primitive devotees, or is he aware of his being a voodoo con man?

If the former, then the witch doctors at TIME, the Slimes, WaPo, ABC-CBS-CNN-NBC-AP are becoming literally and clinically deranged with psychotic hate for the President of the United States.

If the latter, then they should be regarded with disgust as AINOs – Americans In Name Only – who either just don’t care about the incalculable damage their delusions will cause to their country, or maliciously want to cause the damage.

Whichever of these options is the case, you and I and all patriots have only one option.  Although Jack Kelly this morning (5/19) and I yesterday (5/18) stated it, that option was made most brilliantly clear by Newt Gingrich last evening:

Surrender or Fight:  Our Country Is at Stake.  I plead with you to read and absorb Gingrich’s words.  If ever there was a must-read, this is it.

Another must-read came last night as well:  David Goldman’s A Coup Attempt – Not a Constitutional Crisis.

Notice amidst all the Dem hotheads and airheads like Crazy Maxine and Goofy Al Green calling for impeachment, Pelosi Galore on Wednesday (5/16) told them to shut up?  Goldman explains why:

“A ranking Republican statesman this week told an off-the-record gathering that a ‘coup’ attempt was in progress against President Donald Trump, with collusion between the largely Democrat media and Trump’s numerous enemies in the Republican Party. The object of the coup was not impeachment, but the recruitment of a critical mass of Republican senators and congressmen to the claim that Trump was ‘unfit’ for office and to force his resignation.”  

While Goldman does not reveal who the Pub “statesman” is, I happen to know it’s Newt.  And Newt is precisely correct.

Thus it’s critical to understand that the fight Gingrich says we must have is not against Democrats in Congress.  They are not the Main Enemies as they are not players but on the sidelines.  Schumer and Pelosi and any other Dem on Capitol Hill is out of power and irrelevant.

No, the main targets in this fight are the Lying Swine media and RINOs.  The Chief RINO, of course, is John McCain, along with his squishy sidekick Tonto Graham.

McCain’s ego has always been orders of magnitude bigger than his brain, but his saying on Tuesday night (5/16) that the Lying Swine’s Trump-Russia Myth is “of Watergate size and scale” is over-the-top stupid even for him.

And Tonto’s following that up yesterday (5/18) saying that the Trump-Russia Myth is now “a criminal investigation” with Mueller looking into it should be a reminder of what brainless twits professional politicians can be.

I know folks in the White House read the HFR, so here’s my suggestion:  that their boss give McCain and Graham a come-to-Jesus moment being called on the carpet of the Oval Office.  Just the three of them, with Trump saying:

“This is not a discussion.  I want you two to just listen.  I am not going to be impeached and I’m not going to resign.  Period.  This ‘Russia collusion’ nonsense is a total myth concocted by the media – and you know it.  So if you’re going to stay in the Republican Party, you’re going to stop undermining me.  I am your president and if you don’t want to support me, then get the hell out of the Republican Party and have the honesty to be a Democrat.  This meeting is private.  But unless I see a change in your behavior, I will make my demand public.  That’s all.”

Bring McCain and Graham to heel and the rest of the RINOs will follow.

OK – but what about the Sessions Justice Department caving in to Fake News Media hysteria on Wednesday (5/17) and appointing former FBI Director Robert Mueller as a “special prosecutor” to “investigate” the Trump-Russia Collusion Myth?

On the one hand, Dick Morris thinks it’s a disaster.

It doesn’t matter that no crime has been committed by Trump or anyone else.  It’s the job of a “special prosecutor” to find a crime to justify their investigation, even if one has to be invented – Morris points out the Valerie Plame nothingburger that railroaded Scooter Libby.

For the rest of his life, Libby will be labeled a “convicted felon” guilty of a total witch hunt – especially, we should note, because George Bush weenied out and didn’t have the guts to pardon him.

Is Mueller as much of a scumbag as Plame prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald?  That’s a low bar, and we must pray he will rise far above it.  Yes, as Judicial Watch reports (5/18), Mueller caved to Islamofascist groups like CAIR as Obama demanded.  But that doesn’t mean he’ll ruin a presidency just for a prosecutorial scalp.

On the other hand, the IBD believes Democrats May Come To Regret Mueller Investigation Into Trump-Russia Ties.

This is an investigation into illegal Russian influence in the 2016 election.  That makes it clear that “Mueller should look not just into Trump’s ties with the Russians, but former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s and former President Barack Obama’s, as well. It’s only fair,” notes the IBD.

Further, today (5/19), former Assistant US Attorney Andrew McCarthy, who has personally known Robert Mueller for 30 years and has very high regard for him, noted that Mueller has “a very broad mandate” which would include prosecuting “the huge number of leaks coming out of the White House… one prosecution of a leaker would do the trick” and shut the leaks down.

Again, Gingrich is right.  Surrender or fight.  One way to do the latter is to deluge Mueller with calls to investigate Clinton and Obama collusion with Russians, not just Trump.  Once his office is up and running, the HFR will have the contact info for you.

About those White House leaks.  Today, John Bolton explained these leaks are politically motivated to destroy the Trump Presidency.  Now, just where might these leaks be coming from?

Well, it turns out that 60% of White House National Security staffers are Obama holdovers.  McMaster is totally failing at cleaning out the NSC Augean Stables.

As we can see, in addition to the leaks, the appointment of a supporter of Hamas terrorists as NSC Advisor on Israel, Trump breaking his promise to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem, and refusing to designate the Iqwan Muslimi (Moslem Brotherhood) as a Terrorist Organization.

It’s becoming quite obvious that, in addition to not firing Comey and asking the House Pubs to get a new conservative Speaker replacing Ryan at his presidency’s outset, Trump’s biggest mistake was not choosing John Bolton as his National Security Advisor instead of the disastrous Michael Flynn and now McMaster.

Can we have some fun now?

*The Hahahaha of the Week:  Marvel cancels Black Lives Matter-themed comic book written by Ta-Nehisi Coates due to poor sales.

*The Libtard Heads Explode Moment of the Week:  Kurt Kobach, chair of Trump’s newly-formed Voter Fraud Commission, announced on Fox News Sunday (5/14) that for the first time ever, federal citizenship data will be cross-referenced with state voter registration rolls.  Enjoy:

Kurt will no doubt have a field day with the breaking news yesterday (5/18): More Than 7 Million Voter Registrations Are Duplicated in Multiple States.

President Trump knows that if Dems can’t cheat, they can’t win – thus their unhinged opposition to Voter ID.  To the extent Kurt can hinder Dem voter fraud, to that extent the Dems are shafted in 2018 and 2020.

*Satisfying News of the Week: Trump Cuts All Health Care Aid to International Groups Performing or Promoting Abortion.  Another reason to realize Trump is our one chance to turn America around.

*Refreshing News of the Week:  Judges Rule in Favor of Christian Business in LGBT Suit.  At last, judicial rationality.

In Lexington, Kentucky, a Christian business refused to print t-shirts for a “Gay Pride” festival.  Chief Judge Joy Kramer of the Kentucky Court of Appeals ruled:

“A Christian who owns a printing company should not be compelled to spread a group’s message if he disagrees with it.  The right of free speech does not guarantee to any person the right to use someone else’s property.”

Well, Hallelujah.  America needs a lot more judges like Joy Kramer.

*Liberal Head Exploding Cartoon of the Week.  That would be Scott Adams’ Dilbert cartoon strip published last Sunday (5/14).  It is no accident, comrades, that the “climate scientist” happens to look just like climate fraudster Michael “Hockey Stick” Mann:

Libtard undies get in such a twist when anyone exposes them with clever ridicule.  Thanks, Scott.

Now for something edifying to enjoy over the weekend.  Take some time to watch my friend of many years Erik Prince deliver a talk to students at Oxford University on May 3^rd.

Erik is arguing for the role of private contractors in the US military.  “We believe in an entrepreneurial economy but we have an Obamacare approach to our national security,” he says.  “It’s like comparing an East German Trabant with a lawnmower engine to a West German Mercedes.”  Same people, same language, different command structure.

Note how respectful the students are in their questions – and Erik’s obliteration of the F-35 near the end.

Before we close, I’d like to express my deep gratitude for all the kind comments about last week’s HFR on the Forum.  They really mean a lot to me, and are so gratifying as I put so much into the HFR every week.  Thank you all so much!

We close with the HFR Hero of the Week.  Except for those of the Fascist Left whose souls are devoured by envy, the American Dream remains the ideal to which we all aspire – that someone can start with nothing in life, and with determination, ingenuity, and moral integrity create a life of astonishing success.

The HOTW recipient embodies that uniquely American ideal.  His life began at ground zero.  He managed to get out of high school but never went to college.  Instead he joined the Marines, which he loved but felt he had to leave after four years in order to support his wife and their baby girl.  He got a job as a traveling salesman.

To make a sales appointment in those days, you had to find a phone booth and have a dime in your pocket.  If the company had to change or cancel the appointment, there was no way to reach a fellow on the road.  He heard about this new invention, a phone in your car.  It was ridiculously expensive, but, as he explained to his wife, making that one extra sales call a day – which the car phone made possible –  is the difference between success and failure.

His wife agreed, they spent every penny they’d saved on the new-fangled device, he quickly became the favorite caller of the operator who routed the calls – car phones were operator-assisted party lines back then – and he soon was his company’s best salesman.

So good that one day the owner of the company told him he was retiring and wanted him to buy the company.  “How?” he stammered as his jaw dropped.  “Because you’re the man who can make this company grow enough to pay me what I want for it,” came the boss’ answer.

It was a small machine tool company in New England.  He did make it grow, then wondered why no one in his field sold overseas.  He’d never been anywhere outside the US, but started making cold calls from Europe to South Korea.  Today, some 40 years later, his company is the largest world-wide in its field.

What’s more, he has many employees who’ve been with him for decades as he treats them so decently and fairly.  What’s even more, he’s been a devoted father raising four wonderful girls who adore him.  And still more – he’s a true American patriot who loves his country with all his heart – and his Marines.

I am talking about someone many of you have met at a TTP Rendezvous – a dear personal friend who’s been my traveling buddy for 27 years, to Bhutan, the North Pole, Israel, Kurdistan, Tajikistan, China, North Korea, Burma, Iran, Nepal, the South Atlantic, Egypt and all over Africa.

He’s Jerry Finn – Finn-san to his friends – and today, May 19, 2017, is his 75^th birthday.  He is an inspiration to me, and I’m sure to those of you who know him.  Happy Birthday, Finn-san!  Our HFR Hero of the Week.
