Donald Trump is the gift that keeps giving. The week is still in its infancy, but the president has already made Chucky Schumer cry, fired Acting Attorney General Sally Yates within hours of her acting up, and caused the Forgotten Man to go even harder for their president. This Trump accomplished by inadvertently exposing the Democrats as firmly in the camp of Hollywood harridans, tech execs, the immigration lawyers lobby, the global refugee industry; and in the grip of the international human rights octopus.

The Democratic constituency can no longer hide. Its as though all these ghastly people are wearing the pussy dunce-caps adorned by the Madonna and Ashley Judd protesters.

The first moment of joy came when, flanked by swaddled Muslim women, the sanctimonious Schumer, a politician to his fingertips, choked up because of President Trumps executive order to temporarily halt the U.S. refugee program and ban entries from seven Muslim-majority nations for 90 days. The president campaigned on this promise, was elected based upon it, and is now fulfilling it, a novel concept to a shyster like Schumer.

Then, before Sally Yates could use her perch, as a public servant at DOJ, to crusade for a centralized value systemthe POTUS fired her, promptly ending Yates two-hour insurrection at the Department of Justice.

Heres the Yates fit of pique that so energized CNNs Alpha Females (Anderson Cooper, Erin Burnett, Brianna Keilar, Don Lemon, David Gergen):

I am responsible for ensuring that the positions we take in court remain consistent with this institutions solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right. At present, I am not convinced that the defense of the executive order is consistent with these responsibilities nor am I convinced that the executive order is lawful.

And I thought the DOJ was charged with implementing the laws of the land, in accordance with its mission statement. To wit, The Department of Justice is a cabinet-level agency responsible for enforcing the laws of the United States federal government. DOJ ensures public safety against foreign and domestic threats, including terrorism, and preventing crime.

Whether it was borne of insubordination, incompetence or both, Yates virtue-signaling press conference was about feelingsher own. It was bereft of legal argument. Clearly, this activist was chosen by Barack Obama not for her analytical, legal mind, or her understanding of the plenary power the legislative and the executive branches possess, vis-a-vis immigration.

In her mind, the job of the countrys top cop is to police our values (or enforce her own).

Not in dispute is Professor Alan Dershowitzs analytical acumen. The liberal lawyer called Yates posturing holdover heroism. Its so easy to be a heroine when youre not appointed by this president and when youre on the other side, he admonished, deriding Yates for resorting to political posturing, while failing to offer a nuanced legal analysis of the Executive Order [to Protect] The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States.

Mercifully, Yates conniption didnt last long. In doing whats right for the country, President Trump exposed the Justice Department as a politicized fiefdom, controlled by a feeble-minded female.

He had been gone for only eight, jam-packed days, but Barack Obamas reappearance was likewise blissfully brief. The cable girls were destined to be disappointed. Again. After releasing a short, woolly statement to say how heartened he was by the level of engagement taking place in communities around the country, Obama retreated, neutralized, too, by President Trumps decisive actions.

If its not a muscular mobilization of the race-based community; its a sit-in or a boycott: Dunce-cap Democrats are currently boycotting committee votes on the presidents cabinet picks. Indirectly does The Donalds creative destruction provide good stagecraft (and statecraft), in showcasing the Democrats Third-World politics.

Ileana Grigorescu makes the news after correcting Viorica Dncils email on Romanian protests.

Updated 2/2/17, 8:33 PM CET

Controversial plans in Romania to decriminalize some corruption cases, which led to mass street protests this week, have found their way into the hallways of the European Parliament.

Romanian MEPViorica Dncil, a member of the ruling Social Democrats, last week emailed her 750 colleaguesto explain why concernsabout the new laws were unfounded.We believe it is helpful to know the actual facts in order to correctly interpret the current situation, saidDncil.

Not everyone was convinced.

You have inspired me to perform a public service myself by making some corrections to your description of the status quo, as I felt that your briefing can be quite misleading, saidIleana Grigorescu, an assistant to U.K. Conservative MEP Andrew Lewer, in an email to the entire Parliament.

She proceeded to dissectDncils document, pointing out where she felt the MEP had given an incorrect interpretation of the facts.

For example, where Dncil described the government as having launched a public debate on the new laws, Grigorescu pointed out that the debate is just an email address where you can write your opinion.

Her intervention triggered uproar in Romania, with a reporter fromalocal TV station, regarded as close to the Social Democrats, contacting Grigorescuto ask why she was so poorly informed about the reforms. Grigorescu hung up the phone.

The station then ran the story as breaking news, accusing her of tampering with official documents.

Asked why she decided to criticize the MEPs document, Grigorescu told POLITICO: Protesting in Romania is the new social gathering. Every few months were out into the streets, or so it has been for the last few years.

I didnt expect it to have such an impact, she said.Lucky me for having a platform to reply and be read on.

Supreme Court choice Neil Gorsuch draws Democrat opposition - BBC News

By Michael J. Hout By Michael J. Hout February 1 at 10:47 AM

Michael J. Hout, 22, is a junior majoring in history, English and political science at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. During the 2016 presidential campaign he participated in many Democratic activities as a leader in the College Democrats. But he recently quit the party. Here he explains his thinking.

By Michael J. Hout

Its generally accepted that many college campuses are bastions of liberal ideology. Theres a common perception perhaps even a correct one that this leads to a certain degree of indoctrination into the world of left-leaning politics. But my experience has been just the opposite.

As someone who has spent his life moving between Massachusetts and Georgia, Ive had exposure to Republican and Democratic politics in two states that could hardly be further apart in this regard. Coming to college in Massachusetts after being engaged in Georgia Democratic politics, I expected to be well within my comfort zone in and out of the classroom. That was not to be the case.

The more I studied and partook in various political efforts, the more conservative I felt compared to my classmates. The cold shoulder that I experienced from many progressive contemporaries, due to my more moderate leanings, fueled in me a desire to explore more conservative thought.

I came to the realization that between my own long-held convictions, already reasonably conservative, and the disturbing trends I was noticing among my peers and in the party at large namely their dramatic lurch to the left, and the increasing focus on identity politics over substance that I was not fighting for a party that welcomed my beliefs in its increasingly shrinking tent.

When I arrived at the decision to leave the Democratic Party, however, I was no longer on the correct side of campus culture. I went from being a high-ranking College Democrat to someone who must obviously be racist and misogynist and bigoted. For what other reason could I possibly have to entertain conservatism?

This decision perhaps the most difficult of my life to this early point was made over the course of a year or more of introspection, combing through perspectives of all sides in American political discourse. It was only as the sun set on the Obama presidency that I made the announcement I never anticipated that I would be leaving the Democratic Party to become an independent, and later, perhaps even a Republican. To some this may seem opportunistic, but I did not take this decision lightly.

My feeling of isolation originated not with the discovery of my conservative sympathies, but rather with my inherent, moderate ones. It was not enough to lead Democratic organizations, to sit on the National Council of the College Democrats of America, to help found new chapters at Amherst College and the entire state of New Hampshire, for that matter as the national chartering director of that organization.

No, what mattered was not loyalty to party, I found. What mattered was absolute devotion to the religion of dogmatic leftism. Many moderate Democrats just as easily could have been moderate Republicans. But these Democrats were rarely given the same opportunities or chances to succeed as their peers who were further to the left democratic socialists or social justice warriors. Now many of those same moderates are expressing to me a desire to leave the party as well.

Heres what I tell them: First, the Democratic Party needs moderates, so if you can stomach it, stick with the party and fight to move the conversation away from extremism and towards the center. America needs two sane options, so long as were in a two-party republic, with neither drifting so far away from the center that no compromise may ever be brokered.

Second, putting it plainly, you do not want to be a conservative on todays college campus. You will likely be ostracized to some extent, assuming your institution of higher learning is the norm. You will almost certainly lose friends, face bullying and need to develop thick skin. Ive experienced this, and I only came out as an Independent. Others Ive spoken to have horror stories worse than mine, attacked by fellow students, treated poorly by professors and administrators, accused publicly of racism, misogyny or unintelligence. And we have all received threats at one point or another. All things considered, perhaps I had it pretty good as a moderate Democrat. But my personal convictions prevented me from continuing to reside in the party that it has become, let alone the one that is to come.

This of course is a great irony. The so-called party of inclusivity, that values tolerance above all else, is extremely intolerant and wildly exclusive to ways of thinking that violate its delicate myopia. I contend that diversity of opinion both within and without parties is healthy and integral to our system. We must not only accept it, but demand it. Thus, we must be more accepting of conservative students, and the debate that they allow us to have, just as we must accept liberal students for the same reason. No one side should be able monopolize culture and community the way the left has been able to do on campuses. I ask my more progressive counterparts to be more accepting of students to their right, who likely have very legitimate reasons for feeling the way they do. Win with ideas, not intimidation. Be open to debate, and drop the baseless insults intended to stifle it.

At the end of the day, it was my view that not only was I more conservative than liberal in a contemporary sense (although I do identify as a classical liberal), but that I could do far more good towards repairing the Democratic Party from the outside than I could from within. Perhaps that will come in the form of aiding Republican campaigns. Perhaps that will come in the form of continuing to call out abuses in the Democratic Party and its affiliates through the media. I am not sure what the future has in store for me, but I know as long as my concern for this nation and those vying to run it persists, I will continue to speak out.

I will continue these discussions on a bipartisan blog I co-founded, with friends from a variety of backgrounds, called The American Moderate, as well as through a network of affiliated, bipartisan campus organizations we will be launching. Here, you will find a staunch commitment to free speech, diversity of opinion and a rational approach to politics and discourse. If you would like to join us, I encourage you to reach out. There is much work to do to begin to make our campuses more inclusive for all, conservatives included.

Coming out as conservative: Why a College Democrat left the party - Washington Post

The Senate Finance Committee was set to vote on the nominations of Rep. Tom Price to lead the Department of Health and Human Services and Steve Mnuchin for Treasury Secretary.

But minutes after the vote was scheduled to take place, Democrats on the panel convened an impromptu news conference to announce that they refused to participate in the proceeding, all as their Republican colleagues were waiting in a hearing room down the hallway.

Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Finance Committee, pointed to what he called "truly alarming news" that surfaced on Monday, referring to a Wall Street Journal Report that said Price had received a special discounted rate of stocks at an Australian pharmaceutical company called Innate Immunotherapeutics.

"This is contrary to congressional testimony he gave. Congressman insisted he didn't get special access to a special deal," Wyden said. "He misled the congress and he misled the American people."

Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown said Price had "outright lied to our committee."

Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch had choice words for his colleagues across the aisle, calling their actions "abysmal" and "amazingly stupid."

"This is the most pathetic thing I've seen in my whole time in the United States Senate," Hatch said. "They ought to be embarrassed."

Hatch accused Democrats of acting out because they are unhappy with Trump: "What's the matter with the other party? They're that bitter about Donald Trump? The answer has to be yes."

The senator said he fully intends for the committee vote on the two nominees to take place, and that he would call for another mark-up at his convenience.

But the timing remains unclear. The Senate Finance Committee's rules state that at least one Democrat must be present in order for the panel to take a vote on nominees. That means Democrats can continue to refuse to show up to future committee votes, making it impossible for the panel to consider a nominee.

Asked how Republicans plan to proceed, a committee aide said GOP lawmakers need to explore "next steps."
