America, liberals have come down with a bad case of TDS (Trump … – Fox News

An epidemic of biblical proportion is spreading across the fruited plain at this very hour.

The Centers for Disease Control has yet to identify the malady -- but it seems to be an isolated outbreak impacting liberals, millennials, fashion designers, Hollywood celebrities and the entire primetime lineup at CNN.

The affliction is called Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). Symptoms include delusional ranting and a feverish flop sweat.

I write extensively about the epidemic in my new book, The Deplorables Guide to Making America Great Again. Liberals say its the most deplorable book in America.

Congressional Democrats have become so incapacitated by the illness that dozens will be unable to attend president-elect Trumps inauguration.

Georgia Congressman John Lewis was stricken with a rare strain of the disease that caused him to foam at the mouth while muttering about Trump being an illegitimate president.

Based upon his unintelligible ramblings, Im afraid the congressmans cheese has done slid off his cracker.

Meanwhile, a number of Radio City Music Hall Rockettes were also infected causing some to weep uncontrollably after they learned they would be performing for the new president.

"This was such a horrible bomb to drop on us at Christmas, one of the dancing girls told Marie Claire magazine. We work so hard, we're so tired. We're sleep-deprived, our bodies are exhausted. We don't really have lives, even in our off-seasonwe really respect each other, and care about each other, and that's why this is so difficult."

How terribly unfair it must be for the Rockettes to earn a paycheck by performing for people who share differing political opinions.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is a cruel disease that has even impacted the nations religious community.

All Saints Church Episcopal church in Pasadena, California has decided to refrain from mentioning the president-elects name during prayers over fears it might trigger microaggressions among parishoners.

Meanwhile, reports that some congregants spontaneously combusting upon hearing Trump's name have been proven untrue.

There are also unconfirmed reports that San Francisco, Brooklyn, and Los Angeles have been designated as sanctuary cities to house the afflicted.

Researchers are not sure if Trump Derangement Syndrome will dissipate after Inauguration Day -- but there are fears it might linger.

So if you come across an afflicted liberal -- please direct them to the nearest safe space or containment zone.

Senator Jeff Sessions and Black Liberals’ Moral Arc of Hypocrisy – Black Press USA

By Raynard Jackson (NNPA Newswire Columnist)

Last week, I was forced to call out the radical liberal group the NAACP, or as l like to call them the National Association for the Advancement of Certain People. Obviously, that column didnt get through to the members of the Congressional Democratic Black Caucus (CBC). Many of their members and staffers read my columns, but I guess their radical partisanship blinds them to the truth in my writings.

During Senator Jeff Sessions confirmation hearing last week, three members of the CBC totally embarrassed themselves and brought discredit to the Black community: Senator Corey Booker, Congressman John Lewis, and Congressman Cedric Richmond, the chairman of the CBC.

Booker, the camera chasing polemicist, whose presidential aspirations are so obvious that even Stevie Wonder can see it, basically accuses Sessions of being the reincarnation of Adolph Hitler. No U.S. Senator has ever testified against a fellow Senator up for a cabinet position in the history of the country. He testified, Senator Sessions has not demonstrated a commitment to a central requirement of the jobto aggressively pursue the congressional mandate of civil rights, equal rights and justice for all. In fact, at numerous times in his career, he has demonstrated a hostility toward these convictions, and has worked to frustrate attempts to advance these ideals.

Congressman Lewis, bless his heart, was totally disappointing to me. He was interviewed on NBC and called into question Trumps legitimacy as our next president. He said, You know, I believe in forgiveness. I believe in trying to work with people. It will be hard. Its going to be very difficult. I dont see this president-elect as a legitimate president.

If Congressman Lewis doesnt see this president-elect as a legitimate president, please allow me to provide a pair of journalistic eyeglasses.

Obviously, Lewis is so blinded by his liberalism that he cant see the rampant racism perpetuated by former White House chief of staff, and current mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel.

Congressman Lewis, you are universally loved, revered, and respected, but you have lost your moral high ground because the arc of your moral judgement has bent towards partisanship, not fairness.

Congressman Richmond, you are such a great disappointment, so early in your political career. I was hoping that you would not allow yourself to be pimped into slinging the drug of liberalism to the Black community.

You have too much education to equate your position as the last group of speakers on the panel that opposed Sessions nomination to Rosa Parks being asked to sit at the back of the bus. Cmon man!

What do these three politicians, who claim to represent Black folks, have in common? Last week they were all diagnosed with laryngitis. Not just them, but ALL members of the so-called civil rights community who have become the media appointed leaders of the Black community.

Last Friday, the Obama Justice Department, issued a scathing report on the Chicago Police Departments treatment of Blacks. The report says in part, The Justice Department announced today that it has found reasonable cause to believe that the Chicago Police Department (CPD) engages in a pattern or practice of using force, including deadly force, in violation of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution. The department found that CPD officers practices unnecessarily endanger themselves and result in unnecessary and avoidable uses of force. The pattern or practice results from systemic deficiencies in training and accountability, including the failure to train officers in de-escalation and the failure to conduct meaningful investigations of uses of force.

What was the White Mayor of Chicagos response? Emanuel said, While the Chicago Police Department has made real progress and achieved meaningful reforms, the incidents described in this report are sobering to all of us. Police misconduct will not be tolerated anywhere in this city and those who break the rules will be held accountable for their actions. WTF?

Emanuel has been mayor for almost eight years. Chicago has not had a Republican mayor since 1931. This blatant racism towards Blacks from the Chicago Police Department has been around as long as I have been alive, perpetuated all by Democrats!

To Booker, Lewis and Richmond: where is your moral outrage at this? NAACP when are you going to stage at sit-in protest at Emanuels office?

The Black lawmakers who testified against Sessions, have prostituted the legacy of King. King was committed to a cause, a set of principles; not a party or organization. That is why his moral compass could not be bought.

Obama, your former chief of staff governed during at time when CPD was found to discriminate against minorities and you too have come down with a severe case of laryngitis. Really?

So, if President-elect Trump and Senator Jeff Sessions are racists, what does that make the mayor of Chicago?

In the past three years, the Obama Justice Department has accused and proven rampant racism in the police departments of Chicago, Baltimore, and Ferguson; all controlled by liberal Democrats and in Baltimore a Black mayor.

The arc of moral outrage by liberals in general, and Black liberals in particular, bends towards hypocrisy.

Tories double Liberals’ fundraising tally – Toronto Star

The Progressive Conservatives raised $12.6 million last year twice as much as the governing Liberals by exploiting a double-dip loophole that was closed after a Star probe.

According to the latest Elections Ontario data, Patrick Browns Conservatives outperformed Premier Kathleen Wynnes Liberals, who collected $6 million, and Andrea Horwaths New Democrats, who raised $3.6 million.

All parties note their 2016 results will rise once final tallies are filed by May 31. The Liberals say theirs will be closer to $6.4 million after all the cheques are processed.

The Tory advantage stemmed from maximizing fundraising during byelection periods, a practice the Liberals mastered over the years until promising to stop because reforms were coming.

Under the old law, amended as of Jan. 1, parties could ask donors to double up and contribute an extra $9,975 in a byelection contest.

Last week, the premier insisted she has no regrets about stopping the byelection cash grab.

We thought it was the principled thing to do, she told reporters on Jan. 10.

We were changing the rules and the rules have now changed and we thought that knowing that that was happening it made good sense that we would take a principled stand and we would start to change our practices.

That said, Wynne acknowledged the Liberals had the luxury of being in better fiscal shape than the Tories, who were saddled with a large campaign shortfall from the 2014 election.

We werent dealing with the same debt. I mean, we had a different financial situation. Were going to continue to work to have a strong financial position as a party as we go into the election, she said.

The Tories, who have not won a provincial election since 1999, made no excuses about playing by the old rules right down to the wire, especially since it enabled them to clear a $7-million debt.

I have worked incredibly hard to eliminate the partys debt, but this is also very much the dedication of a huge number of enthusiastic supporters from every corner of Ontario, Brown said in an email Wednesday.

In a message to supporters last week, Tony Miele, the PC Ontario Fund chair, noted that in just 16 months, we paid off and eliminated the partys debt.

Whats more, we did this outside of an election year and we fundraised and helped finance four byelections. Simply outstanding. These types of numbers have never been achieved. Ever, Miele wrote.

This is the sign of a party that is on the right track youre going to see that trend continue. Patrick Brown will be the next premier of Ontario.

The Elections Ontario filings show, outside of the byelection periods, the Liberals took in $3.5 million from 18,498 donors; the Conservatives raised $3.1 million from 2,502 donors; and the NDP $3.2 million from 30,090 donors.

During the Nov. 17 byelections in Niagara West-Glanbrook and Ottawa-Vanier, the Tories collected $3.6 million from 1,983 contributors while the NDP brought in $54,675 from 118 donors.

Similarly, in the Sept. 1 Scarborough-Rouge River contest, the Tories raised $3.9 million from 2,998 donors and the NDP $60,106.55 from 162 donors.

Refraining from the now-banned double-dip loophole in those byelections was costly to the Liberals.

In the Feb. 11 Whitby-Oshawa race, they raised almost $2.5 million from 870 donors compared with the Tories $2 million from 3,214 donors and the NDPs $264,410 from 98 donors.

Under the new legislation, now in effect, corporate and union donations are banned, MPPs and candidates cannot attend fundraisers and the individual contribution limit has dropped to $1,200.

To offset the loss of revenue, parties have started receiving $2.71-per-vote public subsidies based on the results of the 2014 election.

The Liberals, with 1,863,974 votes, will get $5.06 million this year; the Tories, with 1,508,811 votes, $4.09 million; the NDP, with 1,144,822 votes, $3.1 million; and the Greens, with 232,536 votes, $630,000.

Officials say the first quarterly installments of those public subsidies have already been paid to the parties.

Senate’s liberals appear loath to join the inaugural boycott – Albuquerque Journal

.......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... ..........

Im going, he said of Fridays inaugural ceremonies for President-elect Donald Trump.

I want to be there, Brown said. His presence would remind Trump and other Republicans of the fights ahead on banking, civil rights and other issues on which there is a deep divide with Democrats.

I will be there, as well, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., chimed in during a conference call Tuesday about the potential for Trump to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Those views, from two Democrats considered for the 2016 vice-presidential nod, have been echoed by other leading Senate liberals. Over the weekend, Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., also pledged to attend Trumps inauguration while vowing to keep up the fight against his policies in the Capitol.

So far, not a single Senate Democrat has joined nearly 60 House Democrats, almost a third of their entire caucus, who have vowed to boycott Trumps swearing-in. Those House Democrats have pledged solidarity with Democratic Rep. John Lewis (Ga.), who prompted a Twitter war with Trump over the weekend after declaring that Trump will not be a legitimate president in part because of Russian interference in the 2016 campaign.

Lewiss declaration became a galvanizing call on the left, for whom the civil rights icon has always been a hero. Liberal activists vaulted Lewiss autobiography up the charts of online book merchants. They jeered Trump. They cheered for the boycott.

But none of it has translated into similar action at the other end of the Capitol.

Senate Democrats represent far broader numbers of people and have to be respectable and responsive to, in most cases, millions of their constituents who voted for Trump. And 25 of them are up for reelection in 2018. So there are 25 senators who probably think its risky, said Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Ky., who will join Lewiss boycott.

Brown plans to be a loud voice opposing Trumps efforts to dismantle key portions of the Dodd-Frank law regulating Wall Street but he also hails from Ohio, where Trump routed Democrat Hillary Clinton in the largest victory in the Buckeye State since 1988. To be reelected, Brown will need to win over voters who cast ballots for Trump.

The issue is trickier for Senate Democrats with clearer national ambitions. Last week, Booker sat next to Lewis as both testified against Sen. Jeff Sessionss nomination to be attorney general, citing the Alabama Republicans record on civil rights issues. Senate colleagues accused Booker of launching his 2020 presidential campaign.

Yet he wont be at Lewiss side on Friday; he will be on the Capitol terrace not far from President Barack Obama and Trump.

I respect everybodys choice in this, Booker told reporters in New Jersey. My personal feeling is this is the peaceful transition of power.

Warrens most extensive public comments came with members of the Boston press corps after an event honoring Martin Luther King Jr.s birthday. She reiterated her plan to attend the inaugural but ducked the issue whether Trump was a legitimate president.

What I agree with is that John Lewis is a man who has earned the right to have his view of Donald Trumps presidency and legitimacy, she said.

House Democrats have joined Lewis for a variety reasons. Yarmuth said Trump was legally elected and would be a legitimate president, but he could not support Trumps behavior before and after the election.

You have to show respect for the office, he said.

Its not the first time this month that Senate Democrats have disappointed their more activist House colleagues.

Just two weeks ago, during the official tally of the electoral college, House Democrats repeatedly lodged complaints regarding Russian interference, voter access to polling places and other allegations.

But no senator joined the protest; as a result, the objection could not even be considered under the complex rules of the electoral college. Its over, said Vice President Joe Biden, who presided at the event.

Lewis took the attack on Trump to a higher level during an interview taped Friday with NBCs Meet the Press.

The Russians participated in helping this man get elected. And they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton. I dont plan to attend the inauguration, Lewis told host Chuck Todd.

Lewis, an original Freedom Rider who was beaten and arrested during civil rights protests in the 1960s, has long been considered a moral compass for House Democrats, if not the entire chamber.

When Democrats faced thousands of protesters over the Affordable Care Act in 2010, they put Lewis at the front of their line, a gavel in hand, and marched from an office building into the Capitol for the final hours of debate.

Last summer, as House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., held off on debate over gun legislation, Lewis became the emotional leader of an overnight sit-in that still angers Republicans.

The response didnt slow him down.

Todd asked Lewis whether Democrats should work with Trump on any issue. Well, its going to be very hard and very difficult, he said. Almost impossible for me to work with him.
