Revision as of 13:38, September 24, 2018
The 2018 Midterm elections will be held on Tuesday, November 6, 2018.
In the House of Representatives the Republican Party holds 235 seats to Democrats' 193 seats, with seven seats vacant.
In the Senate the Republican party holds 51 seats. The Democrats hold 47 seats, and the remaining two are held by independents who caucus with the Democrat Party. Of the 33 seats up for election, the Democrats are defending 25 (two of which are held by independents), while Republicans have only eight seats to defend. The Democrat Party must defend 10 seats in states that Donald Trump won over Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Despite liberal media fake news reports, the Democrats would have to win 48 House seats and seven Senate seats to qualify historically as a "wave election," an unlikely prospect.[1] Increasing leftist violence and resistance to accepting the results of a democratic election may be a decisive factor in the outcome.[2][3]
Issues
Open borders
ICE was created on recommendation of the 9/11 Commission report after 19 Islamic jihadi hijackers entered the United States during the Clinton administration and murdered 3,000 Americans. Democrats and members of Congress now have entered bills and are calling for the abolition of ICE.
Leftist violence
When one uses Google to investigate "leftist violence" and other associated terms, the majority of search results (thanks to selective liberal-biased censorship and manipulating of those results by Google) return "right-wing violence," as if the phenomenea of leftist motivated attacks do not exist or is unmonitored. Yet daily for two years leftists have openly practiced criminal behavior in the form of violence, intimidation and threats - often worn as a badge of "honor" by liberal elites in media, Hollywood, academia, and the Democrat Party,[4] although common sense dictates that such behavior is, in fact, a badge of shame against them as seen by the majority of the public.
Supreme Court
- Main article: Kavanaugh smear
The New Yorker publicized in March 2012 that Brett Kavanaugh was the most likely next nominee if a Republican were to win the election.[5] Within a few months, Christine Blasey Ford for the first time allegedly told her therapist that she had been fondled at a drinking party and felt threatened. The therapist notes however do not name Kavanaugh.
In the Spring of 2018 President Donald Trump nominated Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Ricki Seidman, who orchestrated the 1991 Clarence Thomas smear mapped out the plan to defame Kavanaugh in July 2018:
"Over the coming days and weeks there will be a strategy that will emerge, and I think it’s possible that that strategy might ultimately defeat the nominee."[6]
Like the attack on Justice Thomas, outrageous last minute personal smears were intended to force the game into extra innings.
The Washington Post first published Blasey Ford's allegations in a letter under an anonymous op-ed byline. The op-ed named Kavanaugh as one of the boys at the drinking party in high school. Sen. Dianne Feinstein did not ask the FBI to investigate when she received the letter in July 2018, held it for two months during hearings, then passed the anonymous slanders along to WaPo when the regular hearings ended.[7][8] In the interim Blasey Ford was directed by unknown operatives to take a polygraph test in August 2018. The allegations were withheld by Feinstein and the Democrats from the FBI during the FBI's pre-hearing investigation and vetting process.[9]
Then, during the period in which the Senate Judiciary Committee delayed the vote 10 days to accommodate Blasey Ford's testimony, the New Yorker published an allegation Kavanaugh exposed himself at a drinking party at Yale to a female classmate.[10] The New Yorker wrote:
"The magazine contacted several dozen classmates of Ramirez and Kavanaugh regarding the incident...The New Yorker has not confirmed with other eyewitnesses that Kavanaugh was present at the party."
The accuser did give the New Yorker six names to support her claim. Six witnesses Deborah Ramirez stated could substantiate her accusation. And when the New Yorker interviewed them, all six said it never happened, 100% of the evidence discovered by the New Yorker refuted the claim, yet the New Yorker still published the article.
Trade deficit
The trade deficit is a jobs issue. It represents an outflow of American capital to purchase foreign goods that just as easily could be manufactured by American workers.
America has been running a trade deficit since 1967 (when the U.S. became dependent on foreign oil and the American auto industry was booming).[11] This outflow of capital earned America the reputation as the "engine of the global economy." However this reputation was gained out of largess, not of necessity.[12]
Future of NATO
The only reason European liberal social democratic welfare states have free healthcare, and the United States does not, is because the American taxpayer has been paying European defense costs for nearly 70 years - a fact often omitted by liberals in debates over the U.S. healthcare system.
NATO was created as a defense alliance to contain Soviet expansionism after 1945, and not to wage a War of Aggression in Africa against Libya,[13] as Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, and John McCain authorized in 2011. After the reckless misuse of such a powerful military alliance resulting in a massive humanitarian and refugee crisis - including the resurgence of black African slave markets[14] - the future of a military establishment created to defend against the Soviet Union (which hasn't existed since 1991) is front and center before American voters. Indeed, the Trump-Russia collusion hoax was an effort by power entrenched global interests of the military industrial complex to keep up the myth of the aggressive Russian bogeyman, to maintain the status quo and justify keeping the cost burden on U.S. taxpayers for European defense and Europe's bloated social welfare state.
Trump-Russia scam
- See also: Trump-Russia collusion hoax and Mueller office
Russian hackers attempted to hack into state election boards in 2016. All investigations agree the attempt failed, no voter rolls were accessed, and no final tallies changed.
There is no evidence however, that Russians' hacked the DNC in Washington, D.C.. The suggestion that Russians were responsible for a hack, rather than a whistleblower who conveyed the information to WikiLeaks, came from a third party contractor of both the FBI and DNC - CrowdStrike. The alleged DNC "hack" was never investigated. The DNC refused the FBI's offer to investigate what was essentially a civil matter.
A forensic investigation by retired NSA analysts determined DNC emails published by WikiLeaks were copied and downloaded on a flash drive, and not "hacked" from outside.
A DNC press release, coupled with mainstream media journalists working with Hillary Clinton operatives in FusionGPS and the FBI, spread the fake news narrative that state election board hacking attempts were related to DNC materials appearing on WikiLeaks. The false narrative was melded into the catch-all phrase, "Russian meddling." FusionGPS, like CrowdStrike, was a contractor for both the DNC and the FBI.
State elections
The underlying issue is federalization of elections, taking the electoral process out of the hands of the states and placing it in the hands of the Department of Homeland Security in Washington, where it would be easier for Democrat civil servants to manipulate outcomes. This could only be done through bi-partisan legislation declaring voting machines as national security "critical infrastructure."
FISA abuse
- See also: FISA abuse
CrowdStrike is an outside contractor for NATO, the FBI, and the DNC. FusionGPS is a contractor for the FBI and DNC. Both CrowdStrike and FusionGPS had access to the NSA's FISA database. The conclusions of an NSA audit and the FISA court agreed, that the FBI deliberately allowed its contractors to access the FISA database in order to illegally surveil and violate the Fourth Amendment rights of American citizens. 85% of all FISA database search queries after Donald Trump declared his candidacy in 2015 were illegal.
The inherent conflict of interest of partisans in U.S law enforcement, with partisans holding contractor access to national security secrets, then colluding with partisans in fake news media goes unreported by fake news media.
Russia
Since Donald Trump was elected President, Trump has:
- Killed hundreds of Russian special forces in Syria in direct confrontation with U.S. forces.[15]
- Tore up the Iranian nuke deal in which Obama allowed Putin to build a nuclear facility in Iran, Putin's ally, enhancing Iran's nuclear weapons program.
- Trump approved sale of lethal weapon to Ukraine. Obama denied lethal assistance, and limited U.S. aid to humanitarian assistance.[16]
- Encouraged NATO allies to increase defense spending to guard against Russia.[17]
- Trump chastized Germany for paying billions to Russia for energy which aids Russia's military budget.[18]
- Trump imposed harsher sanctions on Russian businesses and individuals.[19]
