Here Come The Crazies! Nancy Pelosi As Speaker, Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, Elijah Cummings In Leadership Roles

By Joseph Curl

President Trump just got an early Christmas present.

Fox News and NBC called the House at 9:30 pm. EDT, declaring that Democrats have taken control of the chamber. So yes, Trump’s Republican Party has lost control of the U.S. House of Representatives, as predicted, but Democrats could well install Rep. Nancy Pelosi as the new Speaker — and that’s a gift that just keeps on giving.

The 78-year-old Democrat from California, who was House Speaker from 2007 until the GOP took control of the chamber in 2011, is poised to resume that powerful position — and she wants it.

“I feel very confident in the support that I have in the House Democratic Caucus, and my focus is on winning this election because so much is at stake,” Pelosi told reporters in July. Just this month, she told The Washington Post: “Nobody is indispensable. But I do think that I am best qualified to take us into the future, protect the Affordable Care Act, to do our infrastructure bill and the rest. Stepping down this path, I know the ropes.”

And Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) said a few days ago: “I expect Nancy Pelosi will be Speaker, and I believe that she will be Speaker until she decides to leave.”

Pelosi is a career politician who has already served 16 terms in the House, but some party leaders wish she’d go away.

Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) said late last year it was time for Pelosi — and other longtime party leaders — to depart and let a new generation lead House Democrats. “Our leadership does a tremendous job, but we do have this real breadth and depth of talent within our caucus and I do think it’s time to pass the torch to a new generation of leaders,” Sanchez said.

But Pelosi wants the gavel, and while some political watchers say there’ll be a fight, many predict she’ll get it.

Meanwhile, Rep. Maxine Waters, another California Democrat and one who has repeatedly called for Trump’s impeachment, could soon control her own committee — which would yield her the power to subpoena and control the fate of legislation.

Waters, 80, could become chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee, where she currently serves as ranking member. The committee oversees the housing, banking, insurance, and securities industries, and Waters has offered big plans if she can bag the job.

“Last August, Waters moved unsuccessfully to subpoena Deutsche Bank AG for records concerning ‘internal reviews of the personal accounts of the President and his family,’ as well as more information about fees levied against the bank concerning lax money-laundering detection policies that could have allowed Russian operatives to funnel cash without a paper trail,” Fox News reported.

Waters, a career politician once named one of the most corrupt in Congress, has gone off the deep end since Trump’s election. “He claims that’s bringing people together but make no mistake, he is a dangerous, unprincipled, divisive, and shameful racist,” Waters said in February.

Then there’s Rep. Adam Schiff, a true Trump hater who is beloved by the mainstream media.

Another California Democrat, Schiff could likely rise to chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, where he is now the ranking member.

Schiff, 58, said in an interview with CNN that the committee would “investigate questions involving Russian money laundering and President Donald Trump’s businesses.” Schiff said his committee would work in tandem with Waters’ focus on potential money-laundering schemes involving the Trump campaign and Russia, saying he’ll back Special Counsel Robert Mueller‘s probe into alleged collusion.

“The question, though, that I don’t know whether Mueller has been able to answer — because I don’t know whether he’s been given the license to look into it — is were the Russians laundering money through the Trump Organization?” Schiff said. “And that will be a very high priority to get an answer to — for the reason that, if they were doing this, it’s not only a crime, but it’s something provable.”

Then there’s Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), who would be poised to take over the House Judiciary Committee. Nadler could work with Schiff to oversee any attempt to impeach Trump.

Nadler, 71, was on the committee when it voted to impeach former President Bill Clinton, but he said then that the vote was an attempted coup and a “gross abuse” of the impeachment power. He apparently doesn’t think that any more.

“If the president perjured himself about colluding with Russians, that would be worthy of impeachment,” Nadler said in September. “Perjury about some real estate deal that happened 10 years ago that the Trump Organization took, that would not be an impeachable offense. It would be a crime.”

And Cummings, one of the most partisan members of the House, could well take over the House Oversight Committee, where he is now ranking Democrat. Cummings has said Trump “is a person [who] calls a lie ‘the truth’ and the truth ‘a lie.’” And the Democrat ​has vowed to conduct investigations into the president. “If I can get documents, it doesn’t matter.”

“Cummings is prepping targets — from the security clearances of Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and former national security adviser Michael Flynn, to digging into how former EPA chief Scott Pruitt was able to keep his job for so long—and the list is getting longer by the week,” Politico reported on Oct. 2.

But back to Pelosi. Throughout the 2018 midterms, Republicans have sought to connect Democratic candidates to Pelosi — they’ve run more than 250 anti-Pelosi TV ads in some 75 House districts during the last months of the campaign. That’s forced some candidates to repudiate Pelosi.

For Trump, though, losing the House — but getting Pelosi back as a target for 2020 — is a dream come true. And he knows it.

CNN’S TAPPER: HOUSE DEMOCRATS ‘GOING TO MAKE TRUMP’S LIFE A LIVING HELL’

CNN's Tapper: House Democrats 'Going To Make Trump's Life A Living Hell'

President Trump’s response: ‘Two can play that game!’

 | Infowars.com – NOVEMBER 7, 2018

The new Democrat majority in the House of Representatives is determined to make President Trump’s life “a living hell,” according to CNN’s Jake Tapper.

“The bottom line is this is not a good night for President Trump,” Tapper said Tuesday. “The Democrats have just retaken the House, and they’re going to have subpoena power, and they’re going to make his life a living hell. That’s the bottom line.”

“But he did manage to hold onto the Senate,” CNN’s Wolf Blitzer said. “When it comes to the Senate, huge success for the President of the United States.”

Democrat leadership threatened to throw everything they have at Trump if they won the House, including reopening the phony Russia probe, investigating Trump’s tax returns, the Trump Foundation, his firing of ex-FBI Director James Comey, his payments to lawyer Michael Cohen, his administration’s hurricane response to Puerto Rico, the Middle East travel ban, and more.

Trump has already warned House Democrats on Twitter that issuing frivolous subpoenas will be met in kind.

“If the Democrats think they are going to waste Taxpayer Money investigating us at the House level, then we will likewise be forced to consider investigating them for all of the leaks of Classified Information, and much else, at the Senate level. Two can play that game!” he tweeted Wednesday.

70,000 Migrants Preparing to Swarm Europe Via “Soros Express,” Hungary Warns

See the source image

By Dan Lyman

A mass of 70,000 migrants has gathered in the Balkans where they are preparing to swarm Europe via the “Soros Express,” Hungarian officials are warning.

Hungary announced it has mobilized 2,300 troops to be deployed to its southern border on short notice as thousands of migrants threaten to penetrate into Croatia from Bosnia, where they have been accumulating for months and are now actively engaging Croatian border forces in violent clashes.

“What happened on the Bosnian-Croatian border, at Bihac, cannot be allowed to happen here,” Lajos Kósa, head of parliament’s defense and law enforcement committee, told reporters during a visit to the border.

State media outlet About Hungary paraphrased additional comments by Kósa, adding, “NGOs organize illegal migration and a majority are financed by the likes of U.S. billionaire George Soros, which pave the way for the illegal entry of migrants into the EU on the Bosnian-Croatian border.”

“Kósa confirmed that at present there are about 70,000 migrants heading for western Europe waiting along the Balkan route.”

Hungarian parliamentary spokesman Istvan Hollik compared the current situation in the Balkans to the slew of migrant ‘caravans’ making their way from Central America to the U.S., asserting that both are being spurred onward financially by the “Soros Express” as a “dress rehearsal” for eventual endless,  migration from the third world into the West.

“The Soros network is working hard to resettle migrants not only in Europe, but in the U.S., bringing in thousands on the ‘Soros Express,'” Hungary Journal reported, paraphrasing Hollik. “By grabbing the attention of the international media, they want to provoke U.S. authorities, creating conflict, just as they did when migrants rioted in Roszke, on Hungary’s border with Serbia, in 2015, then get the U.S. authorities to surrender their right to protect the border, he added.”

Infowars Europe has been reporting extensively on the mounting crisis in the Balkans and will continue to monitor events as they unfold.

White South Africans barred from registering on government jobs website

THIS IS WHY THEY WANT OUR GUNS AMERICA!  SOON COMING TO THE UNITED STATES

See the source image

A registration process on a government partnered youth employment initiative has appeared to exclude white South Africans, sparking criticism from the country’s trade union.

The YES (Youth Employment Service) government jobs website aims at helping unemployed young South Africans who have been jobless for longer than six months. The program is endorsed by the National Development Plan 2030, which intends to eliminate poverty and reduce inequality within the next 12 years.

The registration criteria on the site require the applicants to be black, in accordance with the BEE definition (Black Economic Empowerment), between the ages of 18 – 34, and South African citizens.

Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) is a racially selective program launched by the South African government to redress the inequalities of Apartheid by giving black South African citizens, whom they define to include black, coloured and Indian people, economic privileges not available to whites.

“YES is a business-driven initiative which is breaking new ground by pioneering a partnership with government and labor, in collectively tackling a national plan to build economic pathways for black youth,”the website says. “Please note we are currently only registering candidates between the ages of 18 and 34, who are currently unemployed and must be black (as per the B-BBEE codes definition).”

YES was launched by South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa in March. He praised the initiative, saying: “We will be coming up with further initiatives to address youth unemployment.”

South Africa’s trade union Solidarity suggested that young, white South Africans were “unwelcome,” while the exclusion was part of a “long list of policies obsessed with race.”

“It is as if the President is saying to white candidates: ‘You are unwelcome and on your own!’” said Paul Maritz, coordinator of Solidarity Youth.

He noted that the empowerment project which intended to address the enormous problem of youth unemployment was an issue of major importance in South Africa.

Maritz, however, added: “Exclusion based on race is becoming the norm… We dare not allow racial exclusion to become commonplace and normal; the past has shown us how dangerous that is.”

ILLEGAL MIGRANT VANDALISES GRAVE OF STOCKHOLM TERROR VICTIM 30 TIMES – SWEDISH POLICE DO NOTHING

Illegal migrant vandalises grave of Stockholm terror victim 30 times – Swedish police do nothing

On several occasions, the man has been arrested by the police, but then released after an hour’s interrogation

Voice Of Europe – NOVEMBER 6, 2018

11-year-old Ebba Åkerlund was brutally murdered by the illegal migrant Rakhmat Akilov in a terror attack on Drottninggatan in Stockholm last April.

Now another illegal migrant has vandalised Ebba’s tomb on more than 30 occasions.

On several of these occasions, the man has been arrested by the police, but then released after an hour’s interrogation instead of being expelled from the country in accordance with the expulsion order.

In a Facebook post, Ebba’s father Stefan questions the police and others in power’s handling of the man. Why is the expulsion not enforced, why isn’t the man arrested and detained?

Why is he not sentenced to imprisonment for one year as stated in the judgment if he violates the expulsion decision?

Stefan has personally caught the man in the act when he was in the process of vandalising Ebba’s tomb. All he got from the police was a “good job”, and then the man was released again.

In his post, Stefan holds the country’s national politicians responsible for his daughter’s death in the terrorist attack, which happened because of the same laxity that is now being repeated with the tomb vandaliser.

He quotes industrialist Leif Östling’s famous “What the hell do I get for the money?” in the light of the fact that law and order are not being maintained in Sweden and that parents like him will pay the ultimate price for it.

Deceased Voters Remain Active As Cruz Jokes “Everyone Knows The Dead Vote Democrat…”

Authored by Joseph Jankowski via PlanetFreeWill.com,

Hundreds of now deceased people have been found to be still eligible to vote in LA county with one dead man voting in multiple elections years after he died.

 

By Tyler Durden

An investigation conducted by David Goldstein of CBS Los Angeles discovered 561 people who are now dead are registered as active voters in LA County.

A 2016 Goldstein investigation found the names of 906 dead people still registered to vote in L.A. County.

After inputting those names into the county registrar’s voter verification website to see how many are still eligible to vote in Tuesday’s election, CBSLA discovered 561 people who are dead but still registered to vote.

And it wasn’t people who just recently passed away – they died at least five years ago.

Of the dead registered voters, 336 were listed as Democrats, 173 were Republicans and 52 had another party or no party affiliation, reports the local CBS affiliate.

Records show that at least 17 of these deceased voters casted support for a candidate in 2016.

One deceased name that showed up in the records, Ralph Howey, was found to have voted in 2010, 2012 and 2014, despite having passed away in 2009 at the age of 104.

“I’m a little shocked,” said one Los Angeles man who witnessed an official mail-in voting pamphlet addressed to his mother. “My mother passed away approximately eight years ago.”

CBS Investigator David Goldstein says the dead voter issue in LA, which he exposed in 2016, is “still happening.”

While the county registrar claims to have purged more than 100,000 dead registered voters since Goldstein’s report two years ago, it is clear there still is a risk of dead voters skewing election results in LA County.

The question now is, how how big is the risk of dead votes effecting elections nation wide?

With a report out of Ohio showing that residents are finding the names of deceased neighbors in voter registries, you can only expect that this is happening everywhere.

Republicans and Independents sure better hope Ted Cruz isn’t right…

FIRST MIGRANT CARAVAN REACHES MEXICO CITY

First Migrant Caravan Reaches Mexico City

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – The first Central American migrants from a caravan traveling through Mexico toward the United States in hopes of seeking asylum arrived in Mexico City on Sunday, taking up temporary shelter at a sports stadium.

More than 1,000 Central Americans, many fleeing gang violence and financial hardship in their home countries, bedded down at the stadium where the city government set up medical aid and food kitchens.

Ahead of U.S. congressional elections this Tuesday, President Donald Trump has warned repeatedly about the advance of the caravan and ordered thousands of troops to the Mexican border, where units strung up razor wire this weekend.

The migrants arrived in the capital, nearly 500 miles (805 kilometers) from the closest border crossings in Texas, four weeks after setting out from the Honduran city of San Pedro Sula.

“Our heads are set at getting to the United States, to fulfill the American dream,” said Mauricio Mancilla, who traveled with his six-year old son from San Pedro Sula. “We have faith in God that we will do this, whatever the circumstances.”

Thousands more Central Americans were moving in groups in the Gulf state of Veracruz, the central state of Puebla and in the southern state of Chiapas, local media reported.

“This is an exodus,” Alejandro Solalinde, a Catholic priest and migrant rights activist, told reporters. “It’s without precedent.”

The U.S. government has pressured Mexico to halt the advance of the migrants and President Enrique Pena Nieto has offered temporary identification papers and jobs if they register for asylum in the southern states of Chiapas and Oaxaca.

Mexico’s government said on Saturday it was processing nearly 2,800 asylum requests and that around 1,100 Central Americans had been deported.

At the capital’s famed shrine to the Virgin of Guadalupe, a group of Mexican volunteers called out on bullhorns, offering bus rides to migrants to the stadium.

Cesar Gomez, a 20-year old Guatemalan, said he jumped at joining the caravan to avoid the dangers of traveling alone and paying thousands of dollars to human smugglers.

“This was a good opportunity,” he said as he waited for a ride. “The first thing is to try for the United States. If not, maybe I will stay here.”
