Liberals Criticize Frelinghuysen’s ‘Intimidation’ of Activist – Roll Call

Liberal activists are criticizing RepublicanRep. Rodney Frelinghuysenover what they call the congressmans intimidation of one of his constituents.

Frelinghuysen sent a campaign fundraising letter to a board member of Lakeland Bank in his district in which he says,But lets be clear that there are organized forces both national and local who are already hard at work to put a stop to an agenda of limited government, economic growth, stronger national security.

In a handwritten footnote at the bottom of the letter, Frelinghuysen wrote, P.S. One of the ringleaders works in your bank,WNYC reported.

Saily Avelenda, who worked as vice president and assistant general counsel for the bank, said she resigned partially because of Frelinghuysens letter.

Ithought my Congressman put them in a situation, and put me in a really bad situation as the constituent, and used his name, used his position and used his stationery to try to punish me," said Avelenda, an activist with the liberal group NJ 11th for Change.

NJ 11th for Change also criticized the congressmans letter, saying in a statement, We are outraged and alarmed by Representative Frelinghuysens intimidating action against an ordinary constituent, as reported this morning by NPR,the group said in a statement. WNYC is an NPR affiliate.

Frelinghuysens office directed questions to his campaign, which issued a written statement saying,The Congressman wrote a brief and innocuous note at the bottom of a personal letter in regard to information that had been reported in the media. He was in no way involved in any of the bank's business and is unaware of any of the particulars about this employee's status with the bank.

But Democratic challenger Mikie Sherrill blasted the New Jersey Republican.

Frelinghuysen has gone from simply refusing to meet with his constituents and telling them to back off, to threatening constituents who are exercising their freedom of speech, he said in a statement.

Inside the Beltway: Progressives stage a ‘CPAC for liberals’ – Washington Times

Its big doings on Tuesday for those opposed to President Trump. The Center for American Progress convenes a daylong Ideas Conference at an upscale hotel in the nations capital an event rumored to be modeled after the remarkably successful Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC. Fox News already has called the conference CPAC for liberals, while Politico reports the event as the first real cattle call of the Democrats nosing around 2020 presidential runs.

Theres something to that. Lawmakers with an eye on the White House are in evidence, along with outspoken Democratic icons. Yes, ever-vigilant C-SPAN will be there beginning at 9 a.m.

On the stage at one point or another: Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, Kamala D. Harris, Kirsten E. Gillibrand, Cory A. Booker and Christopher Murphy; House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi; Reps. Maxine Waters, Keith Ellison and Adam B. Schiff; and Govs. Steve Bullock of Montana and Terry McAuliffe of Virginia, plus Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.

Former White House Security Adviser Susan E. Rice also will make an appearance. Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas and civil right activist DeRay McKesson are among those serving on a panel simply titled The Resistance.

Climate change, reproductive rights and immigration are among the many issues of the day; its that kind of event. The left-leaning press will likely have a jubilant day. Progressive values are under attack, and now more than ever, progressives must not only fight back but also offer the American people a better alternative, advise the organizers.

An evening Progressive Party at a bodacious federal facility features Sen. Charles E. Schumer; tickets range as high as $5,000 each. And just in time, Hillary Clinton has announced that Onward Together, her new political organization, will support Run for Something, a new group that recruits young progressives to run for local office. Co-founder Amanda Litman reports the group already has signed on 10,000 people who are ready to give it a shot.

FIGHTING FOR LAST MAN STANDING

Viewers who back both conservative values and actor Tim Allen are taking on ABC.

Last Man Standing stands out in the sea of network television sitcoms. It is a show that appeals to a broad swath of Americans who find very few shows that extol the virtues with which they can identify; namely conservative values, states a new public petition on Change.org, asking ABC not to cancel Last Man Standing, and calling for a public boycott of the network and its advertisers.

The petition has drawn close to 20,000 signatures in 48 hours.

Last Man Standing was not just selling conservative ideals though, as some of the characters in the show are clearly of the liberal persuasion, yet the characters on the show all manage to get along and take care of one another, despite their politically opposed views. The show is about more than politics though, it is about family. In fact, politics is only a secondary part of the show, but one in which many Americans can readily identify, the petition continues.

Last Man Standing is one of the only shows on broadcast television, and the only sitcom, that is not constantly shoving liberal ideals down the throats of the viewers. And sadly, that is likely the real reason the show has been canceled.

TRUMAN? WELL, MAYBE NOT

It is a major transportation hub in the nations capital and a monumental train station in the classic sense. Union Station is a block from the U.S. Capitol, and has long been a historic landmark in its own right. There are those who seek naming rights for the site, and it is as complex as naming a major sports arena.

For the third time in three years, Missouri Sens. Claire McCaskill and Roy Blunt have introduced legislation to christen the mammoth station Harry S. Truman Union Station. The 33rd president was indeed a Missouri native, and the lawmakers are eager to honor him. But its complicated.

D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton has approved of the bill in past years. Mayor Muriel Bowser has not revealed her opinion, though her predecessor, former Mayor Vincent Gray, says city residents should have their say in the matter.

An ongoing poll conducted by DCist.com, a local new organization, reveals that 72 percent of Washingtonians would vote nay on the Truman bill if they could.

Truman himself might not have been keen on the idea either, if a 1946 letter to the Independence Examiner is any gauge. Truman contacted the newspaper after it led an effort to rename a local road for the president.

I have no desire to have roads, bridges or buildings named after me, Truman advised the paper.

CLASH OF THE TITANS

An unusual bout takes place Tuesday night: Ohio Gov. John Kasich vs. Vermont Sen. Bernard Sanders, both former presidential hopefuls and both with strong opinions on just abut everything. The pair will face off in a town hall debate before a live audience at 9 p.m. EDT on CNN.

Anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will moderate the event, with attention paid to the continuing drama over Obamacare, Trumpcare, tax reform and other topics of excruciating interest.

POLL DU JOUR

59 percent of Americans say major climate and science marches in Washington, D.C., during April will encourage scientists to become more politically active; 41 percent of Republicans and 73 percent of Democrats agree.

49 percent say the marches will increase efforts to deal with climate change; 32 percent of Republicans and 62 percent of Democrats agree.

48 percent support the goals of the marches; 25 percent of Republicans and 68 percent of Democrats agree.

48 percent say the marches will raise support for more government science funding; 31 percent of Republicans and 60 percent of Democrats agree.

41 percent say the media cover marches too much; 68 percent of Republicans and 26 percent of Democrats agree.

Liberals Are An Inferno Of Flaming Crazy And We Should Pour Gasoline On The Fire – Townhall

Pity the Democrats, to the extent you can without bursting into hysterical laughter at their agony. America has thoroughly rejected them in every branch of the federal government plus out in the states, and on top of that they were utterly humiliated by the guy they all claimed was a complete moron. Which begs the question what does that make the sanctimonious harpy he crushed in the Electoral College?

They still havent realized whats going on. Their ego-driven drive to dominate normal people and shape us into New Socialist Nongendered Beings has blinded them to the bitter reality.

We think they, along with their minions in the media, in Hollywood, and on campus, suck.

They are baffled at our refusal to acknowledge their moral, intellectual, and political superiority. It doesnt just compute.

Yeah, well compute this, geebos.

You look nuts. I mean wacko, zonked out, Hey, that goldfish is firing a mind control laser at my brain and making me break dance nuts.

But dont stop. No, pump it up. Youre at 11, and I say take it to 12.

This is great!

All this insanity is going to help us normals retain power, from your gyno-hat marches to the fake hate crimes to your insistence that the Russians are responsible for everything from Hillary losing the election to the rarely-discussed but well-known liberal epidemic of ED.

Heres a little test. Its been about six months since Trump treated The Smartest Most Accomplished Woman In The World like a NordicTrack treats Harry Reid, and does anyone know even one person who has said, You know, I voted for Trump, but now after Neil Gorsuch, General Mattis and H.R. McMaster, I really wish I had checked the box for Felonia von Pantsuit?

Im not talking about alt-right weirdos they dont count. I mean literally, unless they remove their off-brand Nike knock-offs. I mean normal people. Who voted for Trump and now says something remotely like this?

Yeah, I really regret not letting Hillary pick a SCOTUS judge who thinks the Constitution bans guns but mandates taxpayer-subsidized transsexual abortions!

Wow, that 70% drop in illegal alien entries into America and all those deportations of MS-13 guys are depriving the country of valuable, productive future Democrat voters!

Gosh, I hate so much how Trump has paid attention to that sliver of our country lying between I-5 and I-95!

It was Ashley Judds v-cap slam poetry, combined with Bill Nyes sex confusion clip, that convinced me what America needs is liberals back in power!

No one.

No one who voted for Trump has ever said any of those things. Oh, they might have voted for him reluctantly, but no statistically significant slice of them wish they hadnt.

But the Democrats work under the assumption that such folk exist and are receptive to their tantrums. Good! These liberals are crazy, and theyre stupid, and we totally need to encourage them to keep doing crazy, stupid things.

We conservatives are supposed to be terrified by polls that say that the House could flip to the Dems in 2018. Just ask President Clinton about how the liberal wishcasting multiplier effect on the polls worked for her, but the fact is that we have 18 months to go. On the Democrat side, it looks to be 18 months of kookiness that will leave us normals scratching our heads and snickering.

Yes, I know that just this morning I was saying Comey should have been fired but then Trump actually did it and his doing what I suggested is the worst constitutional crisis ever!

Bombing Putins ally was a cunning ploy to throw us off the trail!

Why, even though failed FBI Director Jim Comey, James MC Leakmaster J Clapper, Diane Crypt-keeping It Real Feinstein, and even noted particle physicist Maxine Waters concede that theres no evidence that Trump and Putin are breeding a collusive love child, Im still convinced of the existence of this sweeping, enormous, and invisible conspiracy that occurred for some reason somehow, and about which absolutely zero evidence of Trump collusion has leaked out during ten months of colonoscopy-esque investigation despite everything else leaking out.

Sounds legit.

Sure, Congress polls right around the popularity of Outhouse scuba diving and Borrowing Charlie Sheens toothbrush, but then who wants to live in a country where we like our politicians? Its not like in 2016 we were high-fiving these guys. We get that a GOP Congress is a necessary evil. But we also get that a Democrat Congress is an unnecessary evil.

And while these liberal spazzes and their fussy Fredocon gimps are shrieking about the coming Armageddon in their high-pitched, girlish voices, Trump is just rolling along. Special prosecutor, schmecial prosecutor hes not falling for it. And did you see the ten judges he just nominated? You usually have to come up with roses and champagne to score like that.

Heres how this goes. The Democrats, along with the media and Team Tinfoil, keep whining about Russians Russians Russians, and normal people keep tuning them out. While theyre babbling about nonsense that means nothing outside of the coastal looney bins, normal people are tuning into how the stock market and the job market just keep getting better, how were not taking guff from foreign creeps anymore, and were not talking about how much taxes will go up but about how much theyll go down.

Tax reform is going to pass. Obamacare is getting repealed its as dead in the Senate as it was in the House, which is not at all. Our military is getting rebuilt. Were going to stop leading with our chin on trade. Things are going to keep getting better, and people will see it.

The only way the President can still screw this up is by choosing to screw this up. He wont do it by messing with liberals. Keep tweeting those twerps into a sputtering rage! It pays dividends every time he provokes them to new heights of lunacy.

No, the President only fails by forgetting his conservative friends, and that is becoming a problem. Where are the hardcore cons at State and Defense? He needs to get solid business leader Anthony Scaramucci into the White House, like we conservatives were promised (A guy who can raise $20 million might come in handy). And as for judges, well, the motto for conservatives is No Justice Willett, No Peace.

The Democrats are being crazy and its a bad look. So lets keep helping them do it. We can pity them even as we laugh at them.

Liberals blow a gasket over the stunning answers the new Miss USA gave on health care and feminism – TheBlaze.com

The newly minted Miss USA ignited a firestorm of liberal outrage Sunday after she gave very non-progressive answers when asked about health care and feminism, specifically declaring health care a privilege and ripping modern feminism.

During the pageants question-and-answer period, 25-year-old Kra McCullough was asked whether she believes health care is a right or a privilege for Americans.

McCullough, who came to the pageant as Miss District of Columbia, stunned much of America, especially liberals, with her answer.

Im definitely going to say its a privilege, McCullough said, explaining that Americans shouldnt be forced by the government to pay for the health care of other Americans.

McCullough, who works as a government scientist for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, further explained:

As a government employee, Im granted health care. And I see firsthand that for one, to have health care, you need to have jobs, so therefore we need to continue to cultivate this environment that were given the opportunity to have health care as well as jobs so that (sic) all the American citizens worldwide.

Needless to say, the lefts Twitter reaction to McCulloughs answer was swift:

Others, however, defended McCullough, including one of her fellow competitors, Miss Massachusetts Alissa Musto:

Still, McCulloughs answer on health care wasnt her only remark that outraged liberals. When later asked for her views on feminism and whether she believes shes a feminist, McCullough said she doesnt like the word feminist.

As a woman scientist in the government, Id like to lately transpose the word feminism to equalism, she said.

Heres how people reacted to that answer:

McCullough became the second Miss District of Columbia in a row to win the annual pageant. Deshauna Barber, an Army officer, won in 2016.

Over the years Conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass for obvious reasons.

Most college professors, social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, film makers in Hollywood, group therapists and community organizers are liberals. Liberals meddled in our national pastime and invented the designated hitter rule because it wasnt fair to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives are members of the military, big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, airline pilots, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other Conservatives who want to work for a living.

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when Conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.

Conservatives want to make America Great Again while Liberals want to see America go down the rabbit hole and be more like Europe.
