Pennsylvania Governor Calls for Total Ban on all Semi-Automatic Weapons  Jordan Michaels on January 10, 2019

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf believes no one should have semi-automatic firearms. EXCEPT HIS BODYGUARDS

Just one day after a gun-rights rally in Pittsburgh that attracted hundreds of gun owners protesting the city’s proposed “assault weapons” ban, Democratic Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf voiced his support for a complete ban on all semi-automatic weapons.

When asked by KDKR Newsradio host Larry Richert whether the state of Pennsylvania should restrict or eliminate semi-automatic weapons, Gov. Wolf responded, “I think they should. I support that. Those are the weapons that killed those innocent people in Squirrel Hill and have done so much damage in schools and in places all around the country. We shouldn’t have those [guns].”

Though Wolf incorporates all semi-automatic firearms in his answer to Richert’s question (the Squirrel Hill murderer used handguns and a rifle), he walked back his stance later that day in a tweet that only mentioned “semi-automatic rifles.”

Nancy Pelosi’s father Thomas D’Alesandro Jr. allegedly was a “constant companion” of notorious mobster Benjamin “Benny Trotta” Magliano and other underworld figures during his political years in Baltimore, MD. 

D’Alesandro was a Congressman for five terms from 1938 to 1947, and Baltimore mayor for three terms from 1947 to 1959. Magliano was identified by the FBI as one of Baltimore’s “top hoodlums,” and he widely was acknowledged as the representative for New York’s Frankie Carbo who made his bones with Murder, Inc. and later became a made guy in the Lucchese family. 

The allegations are included in D’Alesandro’s recently-released FBI files which Friends of Ours has obtained pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act.

Once valid, the Democratic Party has become a cartoon version of its former self
By Kelly - Jan 10, 2019
There was a time long, long ago in which the national Democratic Party actually stood for something. Real ideas. Not necessarily good ideas, but substantive ideas nonetheless. The Party was led by men and women who actually articulated substantive programs. John Kennedy formulated meaningful tax policies, and launched America’s conquest of the Moon. His successor, Lyndon Johnson, proposed and pushed through the Congress massive and far-reaching federal support programs that still are costing us today. During the 1970s and into the 80s there were Democratic Members of the Congress who articulated well-considered social policies for welfare recipients and working families; New York Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan comes to mind.

But no more. Today in the Democratic caucus, a substantive idea would land with an echoing thud on the floor and be quickly swept away; barely noticed amid the vitriol that consumes the nation’s senior national political party.

While Democrats nowadays prefer the moniker “Progressive” to “Liberal” as a descriptor for their Party and its members, there is nothing remotely progressive about this once proud political movement. Today’s Democratic Party has become not only a hollowed-out shell of its former incarnation, but as revealed in just the past four months, now is a cartoon version of what it used to be.

In what previous era in the real world, for example, would a Senator sitting on that body’s Judiciary Committee, label himself “Spartacus” after a movie character, when posing a question to a nominee to the Supreme Court of the United States?

Joe Biden's Brother Says Family Voted For Trump 

Frank Biden, younger brother of former Vice President Joe Biden, ripped Hillary Clinton in a recent interview, saying the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate blew Pennsylvania and that many in his family didn't even vote for her, opting to pull the lever for President Trump. 

Biden said his brother would have won his home state of Pennsylvania and would never have insulted more conservative voters as "deplorables."

“We never would have lost Pennsylvania, and all my relatives — the Finnegan family [his mom’s family] — who voted for Donald Trump because they felt slighted by Hillary and her campaign,” Biden, 65, told Florida’s Palm Beach Post. His brother, who is mulling his own run in 2020, is a native of Scranton.

Biden also said his brother would not have ignored Michigan, which, like Pennsylvania, voted for Trump in 2016.

Want to talk about a weird coincidence?.....I hesitate to post this because I don't want the LEFT to pick up on this and claim that this is where Trump got the idea to 'BUILD THE WALL"

1950s TV Show Had Villain Named Trump Who Promised to Save World by Building a Wall   The Wrap  Rosemary Rossi  January 10, 2019

Sixty years ago, an episode of a TV showed called “Trackdown” told the story of a man named Trump who warns people that the world will be destroyed and that only he can save them … by building a wall.

President Donald Trump it is not, but rather the purely fictional character, “Walter Trump.” And it’s not the “Hollywood elite” or “fake news media” out to expose him but instead Robert Culp as Texas Ranger Hoby Gilman.

“I bring you a message, a message few of you will be able to believe. A message of great importance. A message I alone was able to read in the fires of the universe,” faux Trump says. “And at midnight tonight, without my help and knowledge, every one of you will be dead.”

Some may call this episode, titled “The End of the World,” the ultimate illustration of life imitating art, considering the episode aired May 8, 1958.

You have to admit, it is pretty amusing, especially when the TV character threatens, “Be careful, son. I can sue you.”

Snopes found the YouTube clip and first reported on the connection.

Shitcom Star Attacks Trump Supporters 2019-01-11 Source: American Update by: AU Staff 

Sitcom star Josh Charles has launched an attack directed at Trump supporters.According to Fox News:

Actor Josh Charles, known for his "work" on “The Good Wife,” “Wet Hot American Summer” and “Sports Night” is the latest celebrity to sound off on social media about the Trump administration in the wake of the lengthy government shutdown.

It’s unclear what specifically provoked the star to take to Twitter Thursday to go after Donald Trump. However, he pulled no punches in a pair of tweets that were highly critical of the president, his supporters and also Vice President Mike Pence.

“I’m so sick of this motherf-----. Just so sick. This needs to end. F--- him and every single person who continues to support him and his dangerous administration,” he wrote.

The initial tweet was followed soon after by another that echoed sentiments recently expressed by Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who recently sparked outrage by saying new House Democrats were “going to impeach the motherf-----” shortly after being sworn into office.The actor has often shared his political views on social media especially his dislike of President Trump.

AMERICANS DON'T NEED A FENCE OR WALL......RIGHT ???

De Blasio builds ‘privacy fence’ around Gracie Mansion

A new fence around the mayoral residence adds about 4 feet to the barrier already there. 

Mayor Bill de Blasio, a self-declared progressive “man of the people,” has erected a massive new “privacy fence” to keep his constituents from looking in on Gracie Mansion.

The new fence — constructed just inside an existing red brick wall and a wrought-iron fence ringing the historic property — was actually dubbed a “privacy fence” by de Blasio and first lady Chirlane McCray, sources told The Post.

“So much for being mayor of the people. That brick fence was good enough for Rudy Giuliani and his family, and for Ed Koch and all the mayors before him,” a law enforcement source said.

“They didn’t need a taller fence. That’s the same house where everybody else lived for years.”

Sources said the increasingly thin-skinned mayor demanded the extension because he was sick of nosy people in Carl Schurz Park peeping in while he hung out in the yard.

CARRYING PRESIDENTIAL DUTIES TOO FAR.....

Law Professor: Sorry Democrats, Trump Has The Power To Declare A National Emergency For A Border Wall     Matt Vespa Posted: Jan 10, 2019 

He said he would do it. With the government shutdown and congressional Democrats unwilling to let go of their anti-border security views, the president said he would declare a national emergency to get parts of the border wall built. Of course, Democrats flipped a lid. It would be a constitutional crisis if President Trump did so. It’s unconstitutional. It would make Trump a king. It could foster the beginning of the end of America. Yeah, so the Democratic freak-out was just a typical day. Yet, constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley added that Trump actually has the power to declare emergencies and that the Democratic response is somewhat interesting since they had zero problems, of course, with Obama circumventing the legislature on immigration, health care, and Libya (via The Hill)

This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article below is completely neutral, neither anti-republican or democrat. Charlie Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day. It's a short but good read. Worth the time. Worth remembering!

545 vs. 300,000,000 People
-By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.. ( The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.)

Thousands support petition to rename street in front of Trump Tower after Barack Obama Lasker, AOL.com   Jan 7th 2019

Thousands of people have signed an online petition asking to rename the section of Fifth Avenue in front of New York City's Trump Tower after former President Barack Obama.

The MoveOn.org petition, which was started by Elizabeth Rowin, asks NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio to consider renaming the stretch of Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th Streets "President Barack H. Obama Avenue."

"The City of Los Angeles recently honored former President Barack Obama by renaming a stretch of the 134 Freeway near Downtown L.A. in his honor," the petition explains.

"We request the New York City Mayor and City Council do the same by renaming a block of Fifth Avenue after the former president whose many accomplishments include: saving our nation from the Great Recession; serving two completely scandal-free terms in office; and taking out Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind September 11th, which killed over 3,000 New Yorkers."   ??? REALLY ???  "scandal free ???
"Any addresses on that stretch of Fifth Avenue should be changed accordingly," the petition adds.

Notable buildings located on the designated stretch of the historic avenue include multiple upscale retailers and, of course, Trump Tower, the prior long-time residence of now-President Donald Trump.

The petition has already racked up 21,800 signatures out of its goal of 25,000. But despite the burgeoning support for the cheeky proposed name change, the odds of it actually happening are fairly slim.

For the move to actually take effect, New York City Council would first have to approve the measure, which would then need the final green light from Mayor de Blasio himself.

WaPo: Actually, Trump Is Right. There Is A Crisis At The Border Matt Vespa  Jan 09, 2019










After having a momentary panic attack (for some odd reason), the media aired President Trump’s nine-minute address to the nation, where he addressed the crisis at the border. Migrant children have died. The facilities holding these migrants are becoming overwhelmed. It’s a problem. Everyone knows it, except the liberal media. The growing humanitarian crisis aside, the liberal media being serially wrong is becoming a hallmark characteristic of an industry that has become an opposition press to Republicans. Bloated with progressives still sour over Hillary Clinton’s 2016 defeat, they have time and again been proven utterly wrong in their reporting from this White House. From bashing Trump for not visiting the troops on Christmas to saying how he’s the first president since Bush 41 to not take questions on his first trip to China, the press has become so bloodied by all the rake-stepping they’ve become an unrecognizable mess. Obama didn’t take questions on his first trip. Yeah, remember him? Also, Trump visited the troops in Iraq on Christmas Day. These people suck—and they always will. But it’s especially embarrassing when you can’t report on Trump feeding koi fish accurately (yes, that happened) or that a lot of Trump’s immigration enforcement measures, like separating the kids and adults upon arrest at the border, are actually a continuation of Obama-era policies. And yes, the Border Patrol shot tear gas into cords of migrants when he was president.

Now, there is a crisis at the border. And once again, they’re wrong. And to make this fail even more delicious, here’s CNN and others saying there is no crisis. CNN’s is even more embarrassing because you have the hosts saying no crisis, while the network’s chyron says otherwise. The Washington Free Beacon did their magic as usual:

Late Night Host Under Fire for Awful Joke 

2019-01-09 Source: American Update by: AU Staff 

Late Night host Seth Meyers followed up President Trump's speech about the crisis at the border with an awful joke about the victims of illegal immigrant crime.

According to Fox News:

Comedian Seth Meyers came under criticism after a tweet from the "Late Night with Seth Meyers" account was accused of mocking victims who were murdered by illegal immigrants.

The tweet was a response to President Donald Trump's speech on Tuesday, in which he referenced California police officer Ronil Singh, who was shot and killed, allegedly by illegal immigrant Gustavo Perez Arriaga, on Dec. 26, 2018.

Singh immigrated to the United States legally from Fiji.

The "Late Night" tweet read, "Is this Oval Office: SVU?"
