President Trump's First "You're Fired"
by Kim D.
Donald Trump became a celebrity partially by his forceful utterance of two simple words - "You're Fired." And last night he uttered these words as president while firing acting Attorney General Sally Yates, an Obama holdover until Jeff Sessions is confirmed to fill this important government role in defending. upholding, and enforcing American law.
As reported by Daily Caller,
Hence - Sally Yates - you're fired. The new acting Attorney General is Dana J. Boente who will serve only until Senator Jeff Sessions is confirmed.

As reported by Daily Caller,
It's pretty clear where the Trump administration stands on the issue - but the media has another take. Sally Yates in a hero for defying unjust law.
Sally Yates was a career prosecutor for more than 2 decades & prosecuted Olympic bomber prior to being named Deputy AG. She exits DOJ a hero— Brian Fallon (@brianefallon) January 31, 2017
Sally Yates, acting Attorney General, fired by Trump for being unwilling to defend the travel ban. Yates will forever be a liberal hero.— Josh Jordan (@NumbersMuncher) January 31, 2017
Let's be clear...Sally Yates got fired because she refused to follow an unjust law #hero @TheJusticeDept pic.twitter.com/nOqnIBXCEu— David Samples (@NatureGuy101) January 31, 2017
The message is clear to all the useful idiots ready to switch gears and add another bitch in which to protest. But is she really a hero? Or, in reality, is she merely a partisan, political operative? Her client is the American people - not President Trump. She agreed to fulfill a government role to execute law - not make law.Sally Yates took AND upheld her oath to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution. American. Hero.— Adam Parkhomenko (@AdamParkhomenko) January 31, 2017
If Yates had an ethical problem in performing her job, she had one option which would be to make her concerns known and then resign. If she could not provide a legal reason why the law should not be enforced, relying on personal feelings or morals is not part of the job. Basically a lawyer cannot substitute his or her judgment for the client.Sally Yates is not a hero. She's an officer of the court who defied federal law. #yourefired— Alex Duros (@AlexDuros) January 31, 2017
Hence - Sally Yates - you're fired. The new acting Attorney General is Dana J. Boente who will serve only until Senator Jeff Sessions is confirmed.

Google Needs You to Know about Fred Korematsu
by Kim D.
Quick. Go to Google and at the top of the page you will see a doodle depicting a guy wearing a medal and you'll scratch your head wondering, who the heck is that. Hover your mouse over the image and the name Fred Korematsu solves the mystery. Well, kind of. Who the heck is (or was) Fred Korematsu?
Quick. Go to Google and at the top of the page you will see a doodle depicting a guy wearing a medal and you'll scratch your head wondering, who the heck is that. Hover your mouse over the image and the name Fred Korematsu solves the mystery. Well, kind of. Who the heck is (or was) Fred Korematsu?
Click on the picture and a Google search answers that question too with a flood of articles and blog posts telling you why should care about Fred Korematsu, along with ominous warnings about one of President Trump's first executive orders in regard to banning refugees from Muslim countries.
Korematsu was a Japanese American who was forced into an internment camp during World War II. After the Pearl Harbor attack, FDR (celebrated Democrat) signed Executive Order 9066 which branded people of Japanese descent to be a military threat and ordered that they be put in internment camps across the United States.
Fred Korematsu, 23 years old at the time, rebelled and refused to relocate to the camps. Instead he went into hiding until arrested for defying the government executive order. Korematsu fought his conviction - all the way to the Supreme Court - yet lost the case. He was released after the war ended but his record was scarred by this conviction.
It wasn't until 1983 that the courts under Ronald Reagan (Republican - go figure) got involved to clear Korematsu's name and record, citing that the original conviction was racially motivated. In 1998 Bill Clinton awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom and said
"In the long history of our country's constant search for justice, some names of ordinary citizens stand for millions of souls - Plessy, Brown, Parks - to that distinguished list, today we add the name of Fred Korematsu."
The warnings are clear - if America profiles its citizens, innocent people will be disenfranchised just like Japanese Americans were after the Pearl Harbor attack. Over the weekend, various news reports showed protests in major airports in reaction to the immigration ban from seven Muslim-majority countries.
The social justice warriors marching in pussy hats last weeks barely had time to catch their breaths before flocking to airports to screech about the inequality of an Muslim refugee ban. The news loves to show YUGE crowds when they support the cause, while most Americans working 9-5 then scrambling to make dinner and help with homework shake their heads, knowing that all the rhetoric and drama will not keep Americans safe. Reducing the risk of allowing terrorists to come in to the country is more effective and why most went to the polls across Fly Over and pulled the lever for Donald Trump, the only candidate to identify this problem and vow to correct it if elected.
But back to Google's celebration of Fred Korematsu's legacy, is there more here that meets the eye? After all restricting immigration from countries infested with ISIS terrorists who have vowed to bring the fight to our shores is not the same as rounding up Americans of Muslim descent and putting them into internment camps. Could it be Google has a vested interest in ramping up the rhetoric in opposition to President Trump and his "Keep America Safe" agenda?
According to Tech Crunch, yes.
So the propaganda continues. Along with Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft, many companies that have a global footprint are balking at an executive order to ban Muslim immigrants. Expect more screeching about the horrors of profiling instead of the reality of an American policy to avoid the pain Europe has felt with its previous open-border policy in regard to refugees.

The Clinton Foundation Is Dead — But The Case Against Hillary Isn't
IBD
While everyone's been gearing up for President Trump's inauguration, the Clinton Foundation made a major announcement this week that went by with almost no notice: For all intents and purposes, it's closing its doors.
In a tax filing, the Clinton Global Initiative said it's firing 22 staffers and closing its offices, a result of the gusher of foreign money that kept the foundation afloat suddenly drying up after Hillary Clinton failed to win the presidency.
It proves what we've said all along: The Clinton Foundation was little more than an influence-peddling scheme to enrich the Clintons, and had little if anything to do with "charity," either overseas or in the U.S. That sound you heard starting in November was checkbooks being snapped shut in offices around the world by people who had hoped their donations would buy access to the next president of the United States.
And why not? There was a strong precedent for it in Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state. While serving as the nation's top diplomat, the Clinton Foundation took money from at least seven foreign governments — a clear breach of Clinton's pledge on taking office that there would be total separation between her duties and the foundation...

Fuck #MerylStreep

Her Golden Globe speech confirms that living in a world where 'pretend' reigns supreme is the milieu of little girls and mental patients.
By the way, Bandera (where this vid was filmed) is one town over from where I live. The Texas hill country rocks!

Yes, Blue States - Keep Getting Bluer

Teaser:
These are troublesome times; half-measures won’t do. These blue state laboratories must not become guardians of the status quo ante Trump. The goal here shouldn’t be some centrist Clintonian paradise, nor should it be to resurrect the vitalism of the 1950s and 1960s, engineered for an America that no longer exists anywhere but in the white supremacist dreamscapes of the right. It should be to imagine and build the best conceivable civic landscape for everyone in the state, to banish timidity to the margins, to challenge ourselves to move so swiftly and so powerfully in the direction of progress that we become a symbol of what this country—what any country—can be in an age of revolutionary global migrations, disinvestment from the public sphere, and ascendant racial and ethnic tribalism. These laboratories won’t simply hope for a better future; they’ll build it.Keep it up and decimate the Democrat party further - please.

The responses were overwhelming and quite hilarious. For the most part, the journalists didn't understand the question and wrote it off as irritatingly stupid yet continued to debate it anyway. Why would it be important for reporters to know someone who owns a truck?The top 3 best selling vehicles in America are pick-ups. Question to reporters: do you personally know someone that owns one?— John Ekdahl (@JohnEkdahl) January 4, 2017
This argument is stupid. It's based on stereotypes of both journalists and people who own pickup trucks-- both of which are wrong. https://t.co/q9Jv92c3cH— Hank Silverberg (@HankSilverberg) January 4, 2017
what relevance does this smug bullshit have with anything? they are best selling cause of business, not cause your Trump voters drive them https://t.co/HDTyScOU5q— Loudpack McQuack (@lovelessLP) January 4, 2017
Black truffles are America’s best selling whole truffles. Do you know someone who owns a whole black truffle? https://t.co/ybMliFhyrq— Noah McCormack (@noahmccormack) January 4, 2017
They don't have a clue which is why they still don't understand why in 15 days Donald Trump will become POTUS. This question is relevant and wasn't meant to mock anyone, although due to some interesting responses it inadvertently did - bonus. Eckdahl simply was making a point about the media and the bubble in which they live.Total 2015 pickup sales: 2.5 million. NYC Subway daily ridership: 5 million. But you're out of touch if you don't know a pickup owner. https://t.co/8MXVKSu6kR— Francis Lam (@Francis_Lam) January 4, 2017
@JohnEkdahl I live in a city. I wouldn't want to know people who felt they needed to own a pick up in the city (unless they haul bricks)— John Corbett (@CorComm) January 4, 2017
Really? This simple Rorschach test proves only one thing. If journalists don't know many people who own pickup trucks, they should if they want to understand the entire electorate and accurately report on the entire American experience. If this election can teach our media and political gatekeepers one thing, it should be that fly-over nation can no longer be ignored. When the focus is only on urban life and those who dwell there bully the rest of the nation with their identity politics, the pickup truck lovers can and will bite back.@JohnEkdahl yes.

Freedom Isn't Free
We learned this version of the song performed by Up With People in music class when I was an elementary school student in Carol Stream, Illinois.
Back then it wasn't sung in the key of EBT.
