Liars, Leakers, and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy Page 5

  I like activism. In fact, I applaud it. But, the same celebrities who spent the first years of the new millennium screaming from the rooftops of their luxury high-rises and Hollywood Hills mansions about the injustice of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars—before the rubble from 9/11 was even cleared, in some cases—suddenly changed their tune when Obama took office. They wouldn’t be seen within a few hundred feet of President George W. Bush, but a couple of years later they were just fine spending their Friday nights rubbing shoulders with and writing checks for a president who had likely ordered up a few dozen killer drone strikes that very week. In one he killed an American citizen in Yemen, Anwar al-Awlaki, an Islamic militant, without any due process. Two weeks later al-Awlaki’s sixteen-year-old son was killed while eating dinner in an outdoor restaurant in a separate drone strike targeting someone else. Just kill ’em and to hell with the collateral damage.

  Where was the outrage when his administration put a stop to a US international drug operation called Project Cassandra, an operation that targeted the terrorist group Hezbollah for trafficking drugs to the United States and killing Americans? Obama threw a wrench into the operation, so he could dance with the Devil in Iran to the tune of over $100 billion in funds released from sanctions.

  Instead, Hollywood targets a man who has improved our economy, reduced unemployment—including African-American unemployment—to unprecedented levels, helped push the stock market to historic highs, passed tax reform, eliminated the individual health insurance mandate, and made good or is making good every one of his campaign promises.

  And we’re supposed to grin and bear it?

  Not on my watch.

  Self-Righteous Script Readers

  What makes movie stars’ opinions so important, anyway? These are people with a bloated sense of self-worth, little accountability, and practically no original thought. Without a Hollywood scriptwriter, most of them couldn’t talk their way out of a telemarketing call. When they shoot a scene for a movie, they get twenty-one takes to get it right. How many takes do you get in your life? Real people get one shot. If we make a mistake, we must live with it. Not so for the stars. They get pass after pass and then send their assistants to fetch grande lattes for them.

  My own daughter Kiki took acting lessons for almost a decade—singing, dancing, theater. When she was sixteen, she told me she didn’t want to act anymore. Stunned, I asked her why. “I want the words that come out of my mouth to be mine,” she said. That from a sixteen-year-old!

  So, to all the actors and fellow haters out there: get a life. Real people—not actors, not ideologues—elected Donald Trump president. Real people. The forgotten men and women who live normal, hardworking lives and who, by the way, buy the movie tickets that pay for your pampered, cushy lives.

  All of this would be bad enough if the product they were putting out was any good, but it’s not. Hollywood is dead. If it’s not dead, it’s on a respirator. Look at the numbers.

  Along with the Oscars’ puny ratings, movie theater attendance is down to a nineteen-year low and about to drop right through the floor. Studio profits are down 40 percent. Paramount is worth the same amount as it was twenty years ago, in twenty-years-ago dollars, so it has significantly decreased in real, inflation-adjusted value.

  Why? Well, people will tell you it’s due to competition from Netflix and streaming videos. And maybe that’s partly true. But what is also true is that the quality of movies has been steadily declining for decades. Where are movies like Gone with the Wind, On the Waterfront, or To Kill A Mockingbird? Hollywood once served us filet mignon; now it slings hash.

  Subversive Scriptwriters

  Though movie attendance is far below what it once was, Hollywood has managed to morph itself into a formidable brainwashing machine. Scriptwriters weave far-left messages into the storylines of popular TV shows that are watched by millions including millions of impressionable young people.

  Writing in The Hill, Christian Toto, a rare conservative voice covering Hollywood and movies, called out just a sampling of television shows with overt anticonservative and anti-Trump storylines. Included in his piece were ABC’s Designated Survivor, which touts gun control, the CW’s Supergirl, which equated the “Make America Great Again” slogan with slavery, and ABC’s Scandal, in which a supporter of a vile, supposedly Trump-like character sets off a bomb in a church, killing eight people. That’s what Hollywood thinks of Trump supporters.

  Just as bad as those who write for television and movies is the liberal bias of those who write about television and movies. Consider the kudos given the filmmaker Michael Moore. If your film or television show doesn’t fall into line with their liberal bias, they’ll drum you right off the screen. It’s what happened to Tim Allen, a funny guy who dared write and star in a sitcom that said something a little different than what the establishment wanted him to say.

  In its fifth season, Allen’s Last Man Standing was pulling in an average of 6.4 million viewers, making it ABC’s third-most-watched show. Out of nowhere, and all while ABC was renewing left-leaning shows such as Scandal and Modern Family, it cancelled Last Man Standing. Make fun of political correctness and liberals for too long, and the critics and writers will come at you like wolves.

  CHAPTER FOUR

  Lying Liberal RINOs

  At least Hollywood doesn’t try to hide its Liberal bias. You can’t say the same about some Republicans on the Hill. Even though Democrats lost the House, the Senate and the Oval Office, you wouldn’t know it.

  “RINOs” refers to elected Republicans acting like Democrats. RINOs are Republicans In Name Only—elected Republicans.

  As President Trump seeks to protect us and our border because border patrol agents are overwhelmed, LIBERALS chant in unison that he’s a racist and a fascist and RINOs sit on their hands. Legislators dither as to whether they even want their border protected. In the case of Oregon’s governor, Kate Brown, she refused to assist other states in their efforts to control borders three days after she accepted a large donation from George Soros. The Democrats seem to be controlling the agenda. Why? Because they have learned how to wield power. As they did with their FBI and the Department of Justice when they decided one of their own would not be prosecuted. As they did when they prioritized illegal criminals over American citizens, proudly declaring themselves to be sanctuary cities. They have learned what to do when they are in power—such as covering for their own and condoning the corrupt Clinton Foundation, which in reality is a pay to play international racketeering syndicate.

  They were smart enough to look to the future. They instituted a Deep State shadow government to continue their agenda even when they are not in power. Unlike Republicans, they have learned to circle their wagons.

  They are in lockstep with each other on the phony Trump Russia collusion narrative, ignoring the obvious: the flow of hundreds of millions in cash that went into Bill and Hillary’s corrupt foundation as Russians found fertile ground for their corruption in the Clinton bank account. If they listened to the forgotten men and women in 2016, they’d understand the wind is at Donald J. Trump’s back now with an over 50 percent approval rating.

  It is time for the Republicans to start wielding power. They’ve got to stop their spineless finger-to-the-wind approach to running the country.

  It is time for Republicans to stop fighting with each other and start supporting the president. They let the DOJ, the attorney general, and the head of the FBI stonewall them, and they need to put on their big boy pants and use the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate and prosecute those who violate our laws. This is not going to end well until Republicans get the guts to wield the power to run our government the way it is supposed to be run.

  RINOS Spending Like Democrats

  The Omnibus Spending Bill Republicans gave President Trump in March was a total betrayal of him and those who elected him.1 It was as though they left him without arms to swim in a sea of sharks, risking our health and safety.r />
  We know there are plenty of RINO Republicans who are anti-Trump. Remember how panicked they were when it looked as though he would actually win the nomination? The party elders were petrified because the man was beholden to no one, and despite their backslapping and glad-handing, they’ve proven they still are. Once Trump was elected, the establishment’s mission was to make sure he failed.

  Candidate Trump ran on a promise to build a border wall between the United States and Mexico. In 2017, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell promised to build that wall with $12 billion to $15 billion.2 The amount allotted for the wall in the Omnibus Spending Bill they presented was only $1.6 billion, short more than $10 billion of the minimum they had promised. They specifically precluded the use of that money for the wall prototypes the president had inspected in California. That makes them both LIARS.

  That betrayal should come as no surprise. Ryan and McConnell never cared about President Trump succeeding. Ryan failed to deliver votes on the health care bill—the one that he had seven years to work on. The one that Ryan hid under lock and key in the basement of Congress. The one they finally pulled out of embarrassment because they didn’t have enough votes to pass it,3 even while controlling the House, the Senate, and the Oval Office.

  So, why did the president sign the omnibus bill? Simple. The first order of government is the protection of its citizens. The bill included $700 billion to shore up the military, which had been diminished, devalued, and destroyed by Barack Obama. As Obama took our military down to pre–World War II levels,4 North Korea was launching ICBMs with nuclear war tips, threatening Guam, Hawaii, Chicago, and all America. Meanwhile, Iran was spinning centrifuges, allegedly for “nuclear medicine,” while at the same time threatening the extermination of both Israel and the United States. And Russia, now in possession of 20 percent of our uranium, thanks to Bubba and his wife Hillary, was continuing to build its nuclear arsenal.

  So, faced with this triad, the president chose to put our defense into the strongest position, to protect us and our service members. There is now sufficient funding for the F-35 stealth bombers that are virtually invisible to the enemy.5

  Any leader’s success is based on his ability to take action and get results. That’s what Trump does. He did it with deregulation. He did it by signing the repeal of the individual health insurance mandate in the tax reform bill.

  The RINOs got things done, too, but they were all the wrong things. They funded sanctuary cities—the ones that protect illegal criminals, risking the health and safety of US citizens such as Kate Steinle, who was killed by an undocumented immigrant. They pitted federal and local law enforcement agencies against each other, and they funded Planned Parenthood, which performs more than 300,000 abortions a year,6 at a cost to US taxpayers of $500 million a year.7 That makes them LIBERALS, too!

  Congress has allowed rogue cities to protect criminal illegals, putting Americans at risk. Congress prefers no border wall, where criminal illegals can bring in drugs that take the lives of over a thousand Americans per week. While we pay for border walls for Tunisia and Libya, Americans will suffer a plague of drug overdoses from illegal drugs that come into this country from Mexico. Ninety percent of the heroin used in this country comes in through the southern border. Although we’re only 5 percent of the world’s population, we use 80 percent of its opioids, which have a potency fifty times that of heroin and one hundred times that of morphine. These are the drugs the establishment is not willing to build a wall to stop—and Congress is killing more than a thousand of us a week by not building that wall.

  Folks, these are double-dealing, two-faced politicians who care only about themselves, lobbyists, their contributions, and the next election. The Democrats crowed because they funded sanctuary cities and Planned Parenthood and have only $1.6 billion for a see-through wall. Meanwhile, they kept out DACA, which the president was willing to give, so they could use it against him in the upcoming election.

  I want to be really clear: the shame of the spending bill was not on President Trump; it was on the leadership of the Republican Party, the RINOs—LIARS AND LIBERALS all—on whom the president should be able to rely. The truth? The president is surrounded by inept, incompetent, or disloyal warriors, and the spending bill reflected just that. It was a total betrayal by the Senate and House leadership.

  How dare the RINOs play politics with our lives with all their namby-pamby nonsense about “their” security border? The president and the people who voted for him have been betrayed by Speaker Ryan and Majority Leader McConnell. Ryan has announced he’s not seeking reelection in November 2018. The people in Kentucky need to make sure McConnell doesn’t come back, either, so this president can get to the agenda we elected him to follow.

  This isn’t the first time Paul Ryan sold out the president. As the 45th president of the United States marched into the White House running on a promise to repeal Obamacare, Speaker Ryan knew very well where the hardliner, moderate, and Freedom Caucus votes stood.

  Ryan, of course, knew their demands. If he didn’t, why didn’t he? Some demanded repeal of the Obamacare individual mandate and he couldn’t figure out what he needed to do to get their support?

  Ryan was aware no Democrat was going to support the bill and that he would have to rely upon the Republican vote. Was this calculated? Was it a simple misjudgment? Was it planned because he had already decided to retire?

  The stench in the Republican part of the Swamp goes all the way to the top in both houses of Congress. That certainly includes Mitch McConnell. We gave him and the other establishment bozos majorities in both houses of Congress, and they still couldn’t repeal Obamacare; not even a “skinny repeal.” At least they took out the egregious individual mandate in the tax reform bill.

  They had no problem campaigning and voting on repealing the bill while Obama was president, knowing it would go nowhere. But as soon as they had a president with pen in hand, ready to sign the repeal, the LIARS wouldn’t vote for it. In fact, they won’t even put a true repeal of the awful law up for a vote. So, what was all their talk about repealing Obamacare “root and branch” in the seven years prior? It was just LIARS lying.

  It was not as though the president had been dogmatic about what the bill had to contain to get his signature. He knew how much damage the terrible law was doing to the health insurance market and American families. He was ready to sign any reasonable bill the Congress sent him to get Americans some relief. As he said many times, it would have benefited both him and the Republican Party more to simply let Obamacare fail, letting Democrats take the blame.

  Majority Leader Mitch McConnell led the legislative effort in the enactment of the Omnibus Spending Bill. The omnibus bill failed to address immigration or President Trump’s promise regarding the border wall. The president wanted to veto the measure but he had no choice but to sign it because he needed to fund our military.

  The president is right. He should never sign a bill like that again, and McConnell should eliminate the sixty-vote filibuster that allows the Democrat minority to block appropriation bills that are passed by the majority.

  Putting Obamacare repeal-replace first on the legislative agenda wasn’t the politically expedient thing to do, but it was the right thing to do. The president and the honest members of Congress who haven’t forgotten why they’re in Washington didn’t want the people to suffer any longer than necessary. All the rest of the Republicans had to do was take the same vote they had taken fifty times before.8 The worthless stuffed suits couldn’t even do that.

  They draw a salary and a pension for this? It’s not just Obamacare or the omnibus bill. As of this writing, the Senate slugs had failed to pass more than five of the four hundred bills passed by the House. Why can’t these senators do more? What the hell do they do all day? They’re either too busy drinking or eating at fancy restaurants, or maybe they just hate our outsider president so much they’ll refuse to do even what they know will help
their constituents. Do they hate the man we elected to drain their Swamp so much, they’re willing to let the Democrats win the next election?

  Don’t forget, most of these parasites come to Washington as people of modest means but often leave as millionaires. Yet they do nothing for the hardworking, forgotten men and women of America who sent them there. Once they have their cushy positions, all they care about is holding on to them, their constituents be damned.

  America Last

  We knew that was the case the day after Donald Trump was elected, when Mitch McConnell announced to Trump’s voters, as clearly as the snake believed he could get away with, that he was going to stonewall their agenda.9 Drain the Swamp through term limits? Forget it; that’s why we have elections. Act immediately on the Trans-Pacific Partnership? Not during a “lame duck” session in the Senate. Build a wall on the border? A mealymouthed answer on “whatever is most effective.” He even had kind words for Crying Comrade Chuck Schumer.

  When President Trump moved quickly to keep a key campaign promise with a travel ban, to stem the tide of radical Islamists using our immigration and refugee systems to enter our country, McConnell was quick to line up with the LIBERALS in pushing back on the ban.10 He said he hoped the courts would determine whether the executive order had gone too far.

  That’s funny, because I don’t remember him taking that position when President Obama restricted entry from the same seven nations just thirteen months prior.11 Where were his sanctimonious concerns about religious liberty then?
