In case any of you were wondering (you probably weren’t) about why the Democrats want all of Trump’s tax returns so badly, I’ll tell you.
Trump had a particularly bad year at one time and wrote off almost $100 million.The Democrats want his returns so they can take them to the nearest crooked liberal judge and have the writeoffs ruled inadmissable. Then they could charge him with back taxes, penalties, and fines that would ultimately bankrupt him.

Democratic Party files lawsuit alleging Russia, the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks conspired to disrupt the 2016 campaign
40% OF DEMOCRAT VOTERS ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS CRAP
The Democratic National Committee filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit Friday against the Russian government, the Trump campaign and the WikiLeaks organization alleging a far-reaching conspiracy to disrupt the 2016 campaign and tilt the election to Donald Trump.
The complaint, filed in federal district court in Manhattan, alleges that top Trump campaign officials conspired with the Russian government and its military spy agency to hurt Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and help Trump by hacking the computer networks of the Democratic Party and disseminating stolen material found there.

Revealed: Dream Democrat Agenda Includes Reparations
Behind closed doors, wealthy liberal donors plot universal healthcare, free college, and reparations
The reception, “Way to Win: 2022 Victory Party,” was presented as a look forward at what’s possible if Democrats can be effective in coming elections.
“It’s 2022 and we are celebrating policy victories across the nation: Medicare for All and Free College, and next on the agenda is Reparations,” the group projected, according to an invitation to the event.
“Take a ride in our time machine to hear from the true political geniuses who made this happen,” it says.

New York Attorney General Wants Power To Bypass Trump Pardons
New York’s attorney general on Wednesday asked Governor Andrew Cuomo and state legislators to give him and other local prosecutors power to bring criminal charges against people pardoned by U.S. President Donald Trump.
In a letter, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman urged Cuomo and legislative leaders to close a loophole in New York’s double jeopardy law shielding recipients of presidential pardons from state prosecution.

Trump lawyer warns POTUS: Michael Cohen will roll over
No one thinks Cohen would turn on Trump in lieu of serving a light sentence of a few years, but if the sentence is stiff, all bets are off. Which raises another question: What could Michael Cohen have possibly done that might warrant decades potentially in a federal pen?
That’s what they’ll threaten him with: life imprisonment,” said Alan Dershowitz, the liberal lawyer and frequent Trump defender who met with the president and his staff over two days at the White House last week. “They’re going to threaten him with a long prison term and try to turn him into a canary that sings.”…

Sen. Mitch McConnell Kills President Trump’s Plan to Cut $60 Billion in Spending
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R, KY) has torpedoed President Donald Trump’s plan to cut $60 billion in federal spending, despite a promise to open a “discussion” on the cuts.
Even after supporting and passing a $1.3 trillion increase in spending, McConnell said he would talk about a rescissions package that had the support of the president. However, McConnell has ultimately refused to support the plan, Conservative Review noted.

‘Designated Survivor’ Becomes Third Show This Week to Discuss Removal of President
It’s strange how many times this particular amendment has been invoked on television recently when I doubt many could reference its number eighteen months ago.

I’m starting to feel like they want to tell us something.

Republicans Are Fleeing And So Are Their Hopes For Keeping The House
Forty-six House Republicans are either resigning, retiring or seeking other office in 2018. Roughly 22 House members retire each election cycle, so to say the party is going through a seismic shift is not a misnomer.
If the slew of defections weren’t enough, Republicans are trailing their Democratic challengers in 43 races, Politico reported. Some 14 GOP incumbents have less cash on hand than their Democratic counterparts, according to Open Secrets.

Judge Denies $1 Million Funding in Sanctuary Cities CaseI SEE THIS AS A SYMBOLIC RULING, ALBEIT A JOKE BECAUSE A MILLION BUCKS IS NOTHING IN A STATE ECONOMY THE SIZE OF CALI’S. IT DID, HOWEVER, SET THE LIBERALS OFF, AS IT ALWAYS DOES WHEN THEY DON’T GET EVERYTHING THEIR OWN WAY.
SAN FRANCISCO (CN) – A federal judge on Monday refused to order the Trump Administration to pay California $1 million in delayed law enforcement funding it withheld to punish it for becoming a sanctuary state.
“Given the number of open questions concerning the federal government’s positions concerning the provisions of the statutes in question, the relatively minimal injury its delay has caused thus far, and the extraordinary nature of the relief sought, I deny the state’s motion without prejudice,” Orrick wrote.

Denver Refusing to Honor ICE Detainer for Illegal Responsible for Hit-and-Run
EVERY MAJOR URBAN TOILET IS PROTECTING THEIR ILLEGALS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE KEY TO THEIR DREAMS OF A TOTALITARIAN STATE WITH THEM AT THE TOP
The Denver Sheriff’s Department, it turns out, stopped honoring detainer requests back in 2014. They have plenty of company. Perhaps no state has done more to spit in ICE’s face than California. Last week, Oakland, California Mayor Libby Schaaf even encouraged “undocumented citizens” to evade the immigration authorities. In a social media post, she warned the community that ICE agents were planning a raid in the next 24 hours. Her heads up very well may have allowed hundreds of individuals to flee, because when ICE showed up, they found only 232 of the 864 illegal immigrants that were supposedly living there.

Democrats Pitch Bill Creating 50 Percent Tax On Gun, Ammo SalesA group of House Democrats has introduced a bill that would up the taxes on firearms and ammunition to pay for research on “gun violence and its prevention.”
Under the plan, ammunition would see excise taxes increase to 50 percent and firearms to 20 percent. Currently, manufacturers pay a long-running 11 percent excise tax on sporting firearms and ammunition under the Pittman–Robertson Act, which goes to fund conservation efforts such as hunter education programs, public shooting ranges and preserving wildlife habitat. The jump in fees under Davis’ plan would be set aside for public safety grants and research.
But that’s what gun grabbers want to do. They don’t just want to keep people from buying guns. They want to hurt the people who already have them.

Co-host Gayle King — who can be forgiven for her bias due to being Winfrey’s best friend — told the media mogul:
“Nobody should be convinced to run for the presidency, but I also think you have a very unique ability in terms of healing and connecting all people.”
Not so humbly, Oprah affirmed:
“I have great compassion for people. I do that.”
As part of her pitch, King referenced the late poet Maya Angelou:
“What do you think Maya would say? It’s one of these times I really wish Maya was here. What do you think she would say? You would certainly ask her.”

“And I have accomplished more progressive results in this state than have been accomplished by any administration and I believe that is factually, objectively irrefutable,” he added.

Wall Street Whistleblower: Clinton Foundation is the ‘Largest Charitable Fraud in American History’
Former investment banker and self-styled Wall Street whistleblower Charles Ortel is one of the foremost experts on Clinton Foundation corruption. According to Ortel, “examination of available facts demonstrates the Clinton Foundation and its network of false-front charity “initiatives” and affiliates remains the largest set of unprosecuted charitable frauds in American history.”
The FBI has asked retired Australian policeman-turned investigative journalist, Michael Smith, to provide information he has gathered detailing multiple allegations of the Clinton Foundation receiving tens of millions of mishandled taxpayer funds, according to LifeZette.
One report after another from various media outlets have shown strange coincidences involving the Clinton Foundation.
The Clinton Foundation would receive huge donations from donor X only to have donor X magically get favorable decisions by Hillary Clinton’s State Department around the same time.

Judge acquits Sen. Menendez on some charges
A federal judge has acquitted New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez and his friend Salomon Melgen of several charges, according to a new order filed Wednesday.
The order from Judge William Walls comes days after the Justice Department announced that it would retry its case against Menendez. The original trial, which took place in the fall of 2017, ended after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict on any of the 18 counts in the case.
THIS IS WHY I STATE WITH CONFIDENCE THAT NO IMPORTANT DEMOCRAT WILL EVER SEE ANY PRISON TIME BECAUSE THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM HAS BEEN SO HOPELESSLY CORRUPTED.
[CtH: Thankfully, GOD’s justice is perfect!]
Walls wrote in a 50-page opinion that while political contributions can be the subject of a bribery case, the prosecution in this case did not demonstrate an explicit “quid pro quo” agreement between Menendez and Melgen in relation to Melgen’s contributions.

Sessions DOJ Moves To Protect Deep State AGAIN, Warns Against Releasing FISA Memo Without FBI Review
The Sessions Justice Department is calling on House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) to allow the FBI to review the “shocking,” FISA abuse memo to ensure its release will not harm national security.
SESSIONS IS STILL PROTECTING HIS FRIENDS
While on the face on it, the Justice Department’s request is both logical and prudent. However, once in possession of the memo, which is likely to expose the role of top level FBI and Justice Department officials in using the Steele dossier to obtain FISA spy warrants, what do you think bureau officials will do? Wage a fierce PR campaign against it and the Republican lawmakers who demand the memo to be released.

John Kerry Tells Palestinian Official in London – “Trump Will Not Remain in Office Long”
John Kerry met with a top Palestinian official in London recently. Kerry told the Fatah leader to stay strong because Trump will not be in office long. Kerry also hinted that he may run for office again.
During the conversation, according to the report, Kerry asked Agha to convey a message to Abbas and ask him to “hold on and be strong.” Tell him, he told Agha, “that he should stay strong in his spirit and play for time, that he will not break and will not yield to President Trump’s demands.” According to Kerry, Trump will not remain in office for a long time. It was reported that within a year there was a good chance that Trump would not be in the White House.
John Kerry tells Mahmoud Abbas ally that he might run for president in 2020 as he urges Palestinians to ‘play for time’ and ‘not give in to Trump’
Former secretary of state told a close confidant of Mahmoud Abbas that he’s considering another run for the White House. Urged Palestinians to ‘play for time’ while Trump is president and said he could broker a separate peace deal with Israel. Lebanese academic who met with Kerry in London relayed the conversation back to the Palestinian Authority, and an Israeli newspaper reported it. Kerry, 74, was the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004 but lost to George W. Bush.

“I continue to urge all jurisdictions under review to reconsider policies that place the safety of their communities and their residents at risk,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement.
“Protecting criminal aliens from federal immigration authorities defies common sense and undermines the rule of law. We have seen too many examples of the threat to public safety represented by jurisdictions that actively thwart the federal government’s immigration enforcement—enough is enough.”

Mayors boycott White House meeting after administration threatens sanctuary cities
The leaders of New York, Chicago and New Orleans were among the Democrats who snubbed the Tuesday afternoon event after the Justice Department sent a threatening directive to their cites and 20 other cities and counties over their sanctuary policies regarding immigrants.
New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, president of the mayors conference, also said the Justice Department’s attack on so-called sanctuary cities moved him to boycott the White House meeting.
“I cannot in good conscience as president of the Unites States Conference of Mayors go to a meeting under false pretenses,” he said.
The list of invitees made public by the White House did not include Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, whose city is also one that the Trump administration has challenged over sanctuary policies. His office said he was invited and opted not to attend.

Pelosi Tries to Extend $137,000 Tax Break for Two of Her Multi-Million-Dollar Homes
Congress’s wealthiest woman plays the tax game too: Pelosi rushed to pre-pay property taxes after decrying GOP tax overhaul as middle-class tax hike and corporate giveaway
Largely thanks to her husband Paul, a real-estate and venture-capital investor, Pelosi is the wealthiest woman in Congress with a net worth of more than $100 million and the seventh wealthiest member overall, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
In fact, assets and cash disclosed in her 2016 financial-disclosure statement places Pelosi in the top one-tenth of the 1 percent of Americans.
Pelosi’s annual property tax bill alone on three luxury homes last year—$137,000—is more than twice the 2016 U.S. median household income of $59,039, which the U.S. Census reported last fall.

Dirty Cop Mueller Gunning For Trump – Seeks to Question POTUS About General Flynn and Comey
New Strzok-Page text messages are shaking Mueller’s witch hunt to the core, however; the Special Counsel continues to proceed with his witch hunt against President Trump.
The 4 page FISA memo is set to be released soon so Robert Mueller is moving as fast as he can to interview President Trump. He is gunning for the president.
Robert Mueller previously grilled James Comey and Attorney General Jeff Sessions according to a New York Times report.
Now he wants Trump. The ultimate goal of the Russia witch hunt is to remove a duly elected president.
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/01/dirty-cop-mueller-gunning-trump-seeks-question-potus-general-flynn-comey/
The president thinks he has nothing to fear because he’s done nothing wrong. That is of little import to liberals. Mueller is sharpening his knives and licking his chops over the prospect of Trump saying anything he can attack him with.
Recall when Scooter Libby was convicted of not remembering something the same way another witness did. One of the jurors carped that they were disappointed they only got Libby when it was Cheney’s blood they wanted. If Trump goes through with this, Mueller will charge him with something.
DEMOCRATS ARE DETERMINED TO TAKE BACK POWER…BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY
New California Policy Opens Door To Illegal Immigrant VotingCalifornia this spring will begin automatically registering adults who obtain or renew a driver’s license to vote, including potentially large numbers of noncitizens and immigrants illegally living in the state.
“You’re setting the state up for a disaster. They don’t seem to have a process in place to verify that people are who they say they are. It’s a free-for-all, a process that can be manipulated,” said Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote, a national organization that unsuccessfully pressed Gov. Jerry Brown to veto the law allowing automatic voter registration.

Swing State Florida Could Add More Than One Million Felons To Voting Rolls
ADD THAT TO THE HALF MILLION HAITIANS WHO FLED HERE
If passed, the ballot measure could have a significant impact on election outcomes in the state.
President Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in Florida by 112,911 votes in the 2016 election. That’s less than one tenth of the number of felons who would rejoin voting rolls if the measure passes. Just under 1.5 million Floridians were barred from voting in the 2016 election due to felony convictions, according to The Sentencing Project.

Bad news for GOP: Pennsylvania Supreme Court tosses state’s congressional maps
It is difficult to exaggerate how damaging this ruling is to the GOP chances of holding the House.
The GOP may have just lost as many as four seats in the House—certainly at least one.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania ruled, by a vote of 5–2, that the state’s congressional districts amounted to an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander.
And here’s an even greater shock— the PA Supreme Court just so happens to have five Democrats and two Republicans
It is difficult to exaggerate how damaging this ruling is to the GOP.
Democrats need to win a net of 23 seats to take back the House. This decision may hand them 3 or 4 right off the bat.
But here is what happened in Pennsylvania: in 2015 Democrats won three supreme court vacancies in a clean sweep, ending the Republican majority. Democratic organizations, like the League of Women Voters that spearheaded the lawsuit in this case, realized they could exploit the results to circumvent the legislature and get a new map, all while never setting foot in a federal courthouse.

N.Y. Democrats unveil ad campaign to ‘replace and repeal’ federal tax law
ALBANY — The state Democratic Party — controlled by Gov. Cuomo — unveiled a “replace and repeal” ad campaign tied to the federal tax act.
Cuomo previously announced a campaign that would target at least six New York congressional Republicans as part of an effort to help flip the House to the Democrats in the November elections.
Again accusing Republicans in Washington of “having declared war on New York,” Cuomo, as part of the upcoming state budget talks, wants to find a way to revamp New York’s tax code to limit the impact of the federal law.

The Democratic Party thinks your money is their money (typical) and the state legislature in California is making that explicitly clear. They’re pushing for business to fork over half of their tax savings to the state because this is what you get when Democrats are in charge.
As a constitutional amendment, the bill would require approval from two-thirds of the Legislature to pass, a difficult hurdle now that Democrats have lost their supermajority. If passed and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown, it would then go to voters for final approval.
Yeah, this would be a sure thing, but a few state Democratic representatives in Sacramento have been accused of gross sexual misconduct, which has led to chaos within the state party. This fiasco has cost the party their supermajority—at least for the beginning of 2018. How dare businesses get tax relief: the motto of a California Democrat.

Democrats just got rolled. They can blame Barack Obama.
During his 2008 campaign, Obama promised in a conversation with Univision anchor Jorge Ramos to make passing immigration reform one of his first legislative priorities, and even set a timetable. “I cannot guarantee that it is going to be in the first 100 days,” he said. “But what I can guarantee is that we will have in the first year an immigration bill that I strongly support and that I’m promoting. And I want to move that forward as quickly as possible.”
If he had wanted to act, he could have. Obama’s party controlled the House, and Democrats had a 60-vote filibuster-proof Senate majority. If Obama really wanted to pass either the Dream Act or comprehensive immigration reform, Republicans were powerless to stop him. But he didn’t do it.

Evidence suggests a massive scandal is brewing at the FBI
DEMOCRATS DON’T PROSECUTE DEMOCRATS
As one former federal prosecutor put it, “It doesn’t get worse than that.” That prosecutor, Joseph diGenova, believes Trump was correct when he claimed Obama aides wiretapped his phones at Trump Tower.
These and other elements combine to make a toxic brew that smells to high heaven, but most Americans don’t know much about it. Mainstream media coverage has been sparse and dismissive and there’s a blackout from the same Democrats obsessed with Russia, Russia, Russia.
