When the American middle class pays the highest price for the left's agenda of open borders and social welfare programs while simultaneously being called "racist," "irredeemable," and "fascist," it is only a matter of time before Americans start donning their own version of yellow vests.

The New York Times is reporting that the yellow vest protest movement in France included "a mix of small-business owners, independent contractors, farmers, home aides, nurses and truck drivers.  They live and work primarily in rural towns and in the suburbs or exurbs of France's big cities, many earning just enough to get by."

Does all this sound familiar?

Another possible government shutdown showdown just ahead of Christmas, along with news of massive protests in France against unfair and unsustainable tax policies, has comments sections on conservative sites buzzing with calls to just "shut it down" if funding for the border wall is not included in the budget.

Donald Trump is 72 years old. Before we vote for him in 2020, he'll be 74. He is ready for the battle.

“Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired. When you were younger the mind could make you dance all night, and the body was never tired  ... You've always got to make the mind take over and keep going.” 

George S. Patton

Merry Christmas & Get Ready

Republican lawmakers weren't the only ones who were frustrated by former FBI Director James Comey's repeated refusals to answer questions or provide further details - or his assertions that he simply couldn't recall - during his closed-door testimony before members of the House on Friday.

Following the release of the full transcript from Comey's testimony last night, President Trump lashed out against the former FBI director whom Trump summarily fired a few months in to his administration, accusing Comey of lying when he said he couldn't remember certain details or otherwise refused to answer questions (something Comey did, on the advice of a DOJ attorney, 245 times during the course of his marathon testimony). Furthermore, Trump said Comey lied when he said he didn't know Christopher Steele (the former UK intelligence agent who assembled the infamous Steele dossier) and that he didn't know who had signed off on investigations into four unnamed Trump campaign officials.

Comey was "so untruthful", Trump said, that he might have "set a record" for the number of times a witness lied to Congress during official testimony. Hist testimony is the latest sign that the Russia probe is a "rigged fraud" launched by "dishonest people" who would "do anything so that I would not become president."

"They are now exposed!," Trump said.

Oh, Come, All Ye Faithful 

The professional republicans and the professional democrats, ie. “The Uniparty”, have a common enemy in President Trump. 

Within the UniParty dynamic, in order to retain full financial benefit, the political class need to align with Wall Street priorities.  That alignment means the UniParty needs to eliminate Main Street priorities that are adverse to their interests.

Border controls and immigration enforcement are adverse interests to the UniParty.  Additional cross party alignment to benefit Wall Street surrounds:

• budgets and massive government spending;

• government controlled healthcare retention;

• government controlled education (common core);

• and most importantly the removal of any national economic and trade policy that would threaten the structure of the multinationals.

It is not coincidental that US Chamber of Commerce President Tom Dohonue also outlined these issues as primary priorities for his massive lobbyist spending. There are trillions of dollars at stake.

Re: Mueller’s Cohen and Manafort Filings: 

(Excerpt)

Mueller’s Friday filings about former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort show that “there’s no evidence” of Russian collusion with President Donald Trump or his campaign officials, former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova said Friday night on Fox News

Byron York, the Washington Examiner’s chief political correspondent and a Fox News contributor, said on Friday night, “We should note that Mueller has not charged anybody” with “taking part in a criminal conspiracy to influence the 2016 election.”

Although Mueller’s latest filings show no evidence of Russian collusion, York warned that Democrats who are hoping to impeach Trump will “pivot” to a new strategy. York predicted that “a lot of Democrats will tell you that as of today, they now already have enough to go forward with” impeachment proceedings against Trump — based solely on potential campaign finance law violations, not Russian collusion.

At 7:45 a.m., Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese Imperial Navy attacked Pearl Harbor with more than 350 bombers and torpedo planes, launched from six aircraft carriers. They sank 12 ships and destroyed 188 aircraft — killing 2,402 American service members and wounding another 1282.

A day that changed lives forever

That day was more than just a horrible tragedy in American history. For many, it was a learning experience. Many service members were in their late teens and early 20s — boys, who were expected to react, understand and even lead like experienced men.

“I was just finishing morning chow when all of a sudden the planes flew about 200 feet over our heads,” said Samuel Clower, former first sergeant of Headquarters Company, 19th Infantry Regiment, 24th ID. “We could tell that they were Japanese planes, because of the rising sun emblem on them, but we had no idea why they were here.”

“Many began that day as boys, but quickly became men. It wasn’t a choice; it wasn’t an option. It was just one of the things we faced and dealt with. We were thrust into manhood, and we all grew up that day.”

The Aftermath 

-2,402 killed aboard USS Arizona & at Pearl Harbor
-1,282 wounded aboard USS Arizona & at Pearl Harbor
-429 killed aboard USS Oklahoma
-33 killed at Schofield & Wheeler
-75 wounded at Schofield & Wheeler
-12 ships sunk
-188 aircraft destroyed

Excerpt:

Some call it ‘Globalism vs Nationalism’, at other times it is best described as “Wall Street -vs- Main Street”; however, the overarching bigger picture is a battle over economics and the financial power structures that oppose President Trump. 

This is not a Republican -vs- Democrat issue; this is a larger confrontation between those who hold financial power and a singular person, President Donald Trump, who is determined to remove that grip.

There are massive international corporate and financial interests who are inherently at risk from President Trump’s “America-First” economic and trade platform. Believe it or not, President Trump is up against an entire world economic establishment.

Let's open another early Christmas gift.

It has been said that Donald Trump takes orders from no one, but seeks input from all, even his enemies, and I believe that’s true. The game of politics eludes him, and he seldom follows the party line. But like the indomitable commander of the Third Army in Europe during World War II, Gen. George Patton, Trump believes he has a destiny. He feels he has a duty to rebuild the confidence of the American people and restore the foundations of our way of life.

Trump has more accomplishments at this point in his presidency than any president in history. What makes the list even more amazing is that he has done it with the media, at least half the United States Congress and legions of left-wing celebrities trashing every move he makes.

The president has kept his promises on issue after issue. Even his most ardent supporters have been surprised by how many of the goals he outlined at the start of his campaign have already been accomplished. He is keeping the faith, and on those such as immigration and the border wall where the resistance is strongest, he has been relentless — and he isn’t stopping.
