Black Activists Go Jill Stein Green; Major Danger For Dem's

Black activists express vehement support for Jill Stein and the Greens. These election day broadcasts, and the callers into the programs, not only castigated the DNC and the Clinton's in terms stronger than I have heard from conservatives, but appear to have completely moved from the Democratic Party.

If the breach with a growing segment of the Black community is, as it seems, irreparable and the DNC runs another centrist in 2020 (Hillary!) I would firmly believe the Democrats will be in serious danger of becoming a permanent east and west coast rump party and the Greens a significant force.

The Green's commitment to Black activism/activists was signaled with Stein's choice of vice-presidential candidate;

Jill Stein Selects Human Rights Activist Ajamu Baraka as Vice-Presidential Running Mate

Green Party presumptive Presidential nominee Jill Stein has offered her vice-presidential bid to international human rights scholar and activist Ajamu Baraka.

 "I am honored and excited to announce that my running mate in the 2016 presidential election will be Ajamu Baraka, activist, writer, intellectual and organizer with a powerful voice, vision, and lifelong commitment to building true political revolution,” Stein announced.
 "Ajamu Baraka is a powerful, eloquent spokesperson for the transformative, radical agenda whose time has come - an agenda of economic, social, racial, gender, climate, indigenous and immigrant justice. Ajamu’s life’s work has embodied the immortal words of Dr. Martin Luther King: Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," Stein continued. "In this hour of unprecedented crisis, we are honored to lift up a unified movement for justice in the only national political party that is not held hostage by corporate money, lobbyists and super-PACs. We look forward to bringing this agenda for justice to the American people in the exciting race ahead Stein said she also discussed the position with author Chris Hedges, single payer healthcare activist and US Senate candidate Dr. Margaret Flowers (Green - Maryland), economic justice advocate and TPP opponent Kevin Zeese of PopularResistance.org, and Green Party activist and former Black Panther Party leader, Aaron Dixon. There had been earlier speculation that Stein would offer the spot to ex-Sanders surrogate and former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner, who had been unfairly spurned at last week’s Democratic National Convention for her principled criticism of the DNC and Hillary Clinton.

Gov.Palin " Sarah Palin on Paul Ryan’s ‘RINO-Care’' ( Fix It by Electing Conservatives)

The fact that Breitbart had a major post from Governor Palin on March 11th criticizing Ryan's healthcare plan leads one to suspect Trump/Bannon knew the Ryan "bill" would fail. It is hard to understand why otherwise Bannon would have allowed such a strong critique.

Where this goes from here is unknown but Speaker Ryan looks an absolute disaster after having had 8 years to craft a working bill.

The administration is stuck with Ryan for the time being as to have a caucus revolt and remove him would cause market turmoil and roil the admin.

 What this portends for Trump's tax cuts and Mexico wall is up in the air-but expect the share market to continue its gyrations after the big drop as the view of the admin as 'neutered' will prevail in the short term until Trump gets a legislative win.


The long term answer to this problem is to primary all centrist RINO's until there is a conservative caucus majority in the House. It will shortly be time for Governor Palin to hit the 2018 campaign trail for true conservatives.

"A turning point for the Republican party and the history of America"

Leftist States/Courts Try Again To Overturn "Travel Ban." Constitutional Convention of States The Remedy

" Washington State to Join Hawaii in Challenge to New Travel Ban 

Washington state will ask U.S. District Court Senior Judge James L. Robart to apply the temporary injunction he issued last month on Trump's initial executive order to the newly revised travel ban." NBC News "

It is beyond ridiculous that the president and his administration, acting for the defense of America and the best interests and safety of its citizens, can have that action overturned by the leftist coastal states and their activist judiciary.

The initial travel ban was overturned by the same forces seeking to overturn the subsequent ban. That America may have been endangered and compromised by the removal of the element of surprise with the initial travel ban, with who knows what dangerous elements subsequently arriving in America is bad enough, any further delay in implementation could be disastrous.

If any terrorist attacks happen, directly linked to terrorists who have entered during the period of the overturning of travel bans then the blood will be directly on the hands of the leftist elements that enabled empowered such actions.

Clearly these judicial activists have to be stopped from potentially endangering the country. There are three remedies.

1. Confirm Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court as soon as possible, even by the "nuclear option' if required, to restore a conservative  Supreme Court majority and request an urgent review of the travel ban.

2. The people who elected President Trump and who clearly see terrorism as a major concern and one of the main reasons they elected him to deal with it must lend every effort to having a constitutional Convention of States called to empower the executive through a constitutional amendment to deal effectively with "all enemies both domestic and foreign." 

An amendment, setting out in clear terms that the executive has the authority to temporarily or permanently block entry of those reasonably considered to be a threat woudl put an end to leftist judicial grandstanding and activism.

"In order to legally compel Congress to call a convention, 34 states need to pass similar resolutions. Currently, 29 states meet the requirement"

3. Conservatives must flood to the polls in November 2018 to ensure at least 8-10 more Republican senators are elected giving the administration  'super majority" with the ability to press forwards with all required legislation as well as ensuring a continuing majority in the House and in governorships to ensure electoral boundaries are fair in the ensuing readjustment following the next census.

11 Major Thinkers From Schweikart To Lifson; Dem's 20 Months From Armageddon

​​Here are the simple stark facts, the Democratic Party, at least as it is now constructed, faces disaster in a scant 20 months (11/6/18) from today;

Washington Times "

"And here comes 2018

The Democrats face grim prospects in the midterm congressional elections"

"The Democrats need to pick up a net of three seats to win the Senate (there’s no realistic prospect of taking the House in the foreseeable future), and saddest of all for the Democrats, the party will defend 25 seats next year and the Republicans, only 8. Only one Republican senator, Dean Heller of Nevada, a freshman, is in a state won by Hillary Clinton, an indication of the temperature of the water.

 No other Republican seat, says the authoritative Cook Political Report, “appears to be even remotely in danger.”

But several Democratic incumbents may be fighting for survival in states that Donald Trump carried by margins up to a remarkable 42 percent. These endangered incumbents include Heidi Heitkamp in North Dakota, Joe Manchin in West Virginia, Joe Donnelly in Indiana, Jon Tester in Montana and Claire McCaskill in Missouri. They have survived frights before, but this time the politics is strange and new."

If the GOP takes eight senate seats from the Dem's they will have a filibuster  proof majority to add to their control of Congress, the presidency, the Supreme Court and they will have total power. What would be left of the Dem's would be a faction ridden rump most likely controlled by the Sanders radical wing.

"Republicans control about 4,170 state legislative seats across the country, almost 1,000 more than they held in 2009 when Barack Obama was sworn in. Today, 33 governors are Republican; when Obama took office, just 21 governors were Republican."

The compete rejection of Obama would reach right down to every strata of government. The Obama presidency was a complete aberration driven by an infatuated media and only came about because of the G.W. Bush disastrous foreign policy and the crazed financial community greed which led to the 2008 collapse.

Rahm Emanuel has a clear understanding that that disaster can not be fixed overnight but he offers no prescription, except time, to right the sinking ship. The obvious solution, jettisoning the "social justice warriors" the Sanders faction, and creating a platform which discards the stealth attack on the second amendment, leaves "identity politics" and social issues alone (or to the states) and addressing the concerns of industrial workers is a bridge to far. But not crossing that bridge will simply hasten the end of the Dem's.

"How the Democrats can rebuild"

Joel  Krotkin OC Register

"To win consistently in the near term, and compete in red states, Democrats need to adjust the cultural and racial agenda dominating the “resistance” to one that addresses directly the challenges faced by working- and middle-class families of all races. This notion of identity politics, as opposed to those of social class, is embraced by the progressives’ allies in the media, academia, urban speculators, Hollywood and Silicon Valley, since environmentalism, gender and race issues do not directly threaten their wealth or privileged status."

Demography, despite the dreams of the left and the fears of the right, is not destiny. Tempting though it is for liberals to think that history is on their side, there is no realistic substitute to winning the battle of ideas. To beat Trump, Democrats will have to build a convincing case they can take to the nation as a whole.
