Fueled by protest, liberals push for blockade of Trump picks - WTNH Connecticut News (press release)
The mainstream media, liberals and Hollywood are pitching a super-sized hissy fit over President Trumps decision to protect the fruited plain from blood-thirsty jihadists.
They seem to think we are under some sort of moral obligation to allow refugees to flood into the country without vetting and pray that nobody gets blown up. I write about this very issue in my new book, The Deplorables Guide to Making America Great Again.

I watched in utter amazement this weekend as hordes of agitators swarmed airports across the country causing all sorts of mayhem.
CNN called the protests spontaneous which is quite remarkable considering a number of protesters were waving professionally-made banners and posters.
Muslims at DFW International Airport turned a baggage claim area into a makeshift mosque kneeling on prayer rugs and chanting, Allah.
And there was nary a peep from TSA or airport officials.
But heaven help the poor fellow who tries to go through a TSA check point with a bottle of Head & Shoulders in his carry-on luggage.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo lashed out at the president saying New Yorkers have no tolerance for intolerance.
New York City Mayor and Communist sympathizer Bill de Blasio said the ban was chilling to anyone in America who cares about religious liberty.
These are the same guys who tried to shut down a Chick-fil-A franchise and told gun-toting, Bible-clingers they were not welcome in the Empire State.
So spare us your righteous indignation.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel said he plans on hosting illegal aliens in his home and urged citizens to do the same.
Thats a mighty thoughtful gesture, but it might be safer for the refugees to eat a slice of deep dish pizza in Syria rather than the Windy Citys South Side.
The mainstream media feared the president was going overboard to protect Christians from radical Islamists, Newsbusters reported.
CNNs Carol Costello, seemed genuinely troubled that his underlying goal was to make this country aggressively Christian.
Failed talk show host Piers Morgan addressed the issue in a bizarre column titled, More Americans were killed last year by toddlers with guns than by Muslim terrorists, Mr. President where is the executive order to stop THAT?
This executive order is not making America great, Morgan wrote in the Daily Mail. Its making America hate.
Mr. Morgan is British.
It is grotesquely unfair because it punishes many decent, law-abiding people who have every right to be in the country, he added.
Piers Morgan is the poster child for extreme vetting.
Hollywood is even worse marginalizing Christianity while embracing Islam.
The people who play make believe for a living went out of their way to denounce President Trump during the Screen Actors Guild awards Sunday.
We have to speak up, actress Emma Stone said. Staying silent only helps the oppressor, not the victim. Right now I hope that people seeing things that are being done that are unconstitutional and inhumane would say something.
Here's a thought -- next year -- hold the SAG awards in downtown Tehran. I hear the Ayatollahs are big Rosie O'Donnell fans.

The Liberal Party is distancing itself from protesters who stormed one of its party meeting dressed as the Ku Klux Klan.
Deputy Premier Jonh Barliaro's 15-month-old daughter rolls on the ground during the swearing in of their new minister by the Governor of NSW, David Hurley.
First on that list was dumped former minister for multiculturalism and disability servicesJohn Ajaka, who was described as President of the Legislative Council (elect).
The announcement followed the appointment of current upper house President, Don Harwin a leader of MsBerejiklian'sleft faction who was instrumental in securing her election as leader as Minister for Energy and Utilities and the Arts.
However, the president who receivesa salary of $287,515, the same as a junior minister must be elected by the entire Legislative Council. A vote of Liberal upper house members to decide their nomination will be held during a party room meeting scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.
Ms Berejiklian's announcement pre-empted both votes.
A senior Liberal source said the decision was "a slap in the face from the executive to the house" and was part of a broader factional deal involving the final shape of Ms Berejiklian's cabinet and the North Shore by-election.
"The party won't oppose the choice of president because [Ms Berejiklian] has made it clear and they don't want to undermine her authority, which is already threadbare," the source said.
"But Idon't think the house will look kindly on it".
Another Liberal source confirmed there was widespread disquiet within the Liberal upper house party room over the circumstancesof Mr Ajaka's pending appointment because the usual processes had been pre-empted.
The senior Liberal source said Ms Berejiklian had needed to "lock in" Mr Ajaka as presidentas part of a deal between the left and centre right factions to ensure the centre right's Ray Williams was the 23rd cabinet spot.
Mr Williams replacedMr Ajakain the multiculturalism and disability services portfolios.
The source also alleged the deal extended to the centre right supporting the left's favoured candidate for the North Shore byelection likely to be Felicity Wilsonover the right's candidate, potentially Tim James.
However, a centre right source said "there was no deal".
Asked why she pre-empted the votes of the party room and the upper house with her announcement and if it was part of a factional deal, Ms Berejiklian said: "John Ajaka will make an excellent President of the Legislative Council."
Ms Berejiklian has repeatedly denied Liberal party factional chiefs have had any part in shaping her first cabinet, insisting all appointments have been made purely on merit.
Mr Ajaka declined to comment.

Premier Colin Barnett has said he is more relaxed than he has ever been heading into the March election, but his colleagues say they are not taking anything for granted.
The members met in the partyroom for the last time on Tuesday afternoon before the campaign officially starts on Wednesday.
"This election is not going to be an easy election for the Liberal National Government, so we're all working extremely hard, as we should be," the member for Churchlands, Sean L'Estrange, said.
Corrective Services Minister Joe Francis said the State Government was clearly the underdog.
"Every single election the Labor Party tries to position itself as the underdog. There is no debate going into this election. Three terms for any government's a hard ask and the Liberal Party is clearly the underdog going into this election," Mr Francis said.
"I'm never relaxed about any campaign, I'm a member of parliament and every four years I have to reapply to the voters of my electorate for my job."
The member for Mount Lawley, Michael Sutherland, echoed Mr Francis' sentiment.
"Everybody knows that the election is going to be a battle," Mr Sutherland said.
"Anybody that thinks it's not going to be a battle is deluding themselves so we've just got to all do our best and hopefully our standing in the local community will carry some of us over the line," he said.
Health Minister John Day said there was a lot of work still to be done.
"I never feel super confident about being re-elected, I always take it very seriously and work very hard to do so," he said.
But others MPs, including Transport Minister Bill Marmion, were more confident.
"I'm buoyant, I think we've made some pretty good announcements leading up to the election. I think if the public see what we've delivered over the last eight years, I think they'll see we're a solid government," he said.
"We've got a pretty good record to stand on and I think we can build off that and continue building good outcomes for Western Australians."
The member for Balcatta, Chris Hatton, agreed.
"I think we'll get there, I'm feeling pretty confident that we will get there because we have done so much and we've got a lot more to do," Mr Hatton said.
MPs dismissed Labor polling that suggested a swing of almost 20 per cent in the Liberal seat of Joondalup.
"You can't trust what the union polls are about," Local Government Minister Paul Miles said.
Mr Miles was backed by Treasurer Mike Nahan.
"Reachtel is a device that you can use to push your own issues. That was designed for the meeting that we're about ready to have, we know it and we ignore it," Dr Nahan said.
The Treasurer also said Liberal polling told a different story.
After the meeting, Liberal MPs told the ABC the Premier had conceded the Government was not in a winning position at the moment, but told them if they all pulled their weight they could still get there.
WA Liberal state director Andrew Cox is believed to have told MPs the party would do preference deals with Pauline Hanson's One Nation party, but it would likely not be a blanket deal and would be negotiated seat by seat.
