										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="speakable"><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/politics/house-of-representatives/democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Democrats in the U.S. House</a> aren’t going to let the facts get in the way of their impeachment witch hunt against <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/politics/executive/white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">President Trump</a>.</p>
<p class="speakable">It’s clear that Democratic leaders have been misleading the American people for months by assuring them that <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/news-events/russia-investigation" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report</a> will be the determining factor as they consider any impeachment inquiry.</p>
<div class="article-body">
<p>Now – with the Russia collusion narrative thoroughly debunked – the Democrats are in full panic mode and <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">making desperate mistakes</a> on the investigative front.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/dishonest-democrats-wont-work-with-trump-on-immigration-because-theyre-scared-to-death-of-radical-leftists" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>DISHONEST DEMOCRATS WON’T WORK WITH TRUMP ON IMMIGRATION BECAUSE THEY’RE SCARED TO DEATH OF RADICAL LEFTISTS</strong></a></p>
<p>Since November 2016, the left has spun the lie that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians to win the election and that as a result President Trump is an illegitimate president. Democrats pushed this political opposition research pipe dream so hard that they turned their liberal base into an unhinged mob of Trump-hating lunatics.</p>
<p>All of this hatred and division was created by <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/politics/the-clintons" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hillary Clinton and her ilk</a>; they couldn’t face the reality that she lost to President Trump simply because he was a better candidate with better ideas.</p>
<p>Trump Derangement Syndrome has ravaged the Democratic Party to such an extent that Democrats never considered a post-Russia world in which their collusion narrative would fall flat on its face and the president would be cleared of any wrongdoing.</p>
<p>Now it’s starting to sink in with the public that this long national ordeal of baseless investigations of the president has just been a big ruse and that the only campaign that really colluded with the Russians was Hillary Clinton’s.</p>
<p>After two years of negative news coverage by the liberal media, this week’s headline “President Trump’s approval rating continues to climb” in USA Today must have gotten the attention of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., both leaders of the anti-Trump resistance.</p>
<p>Democrats are unable to come to grips with the fact that polling indicates only 18 percent of the American people have a &#8220;positive view of socialism&#8221; and that the Democratic Green New Deal is an unmitigated disaster for hardworking taxpayers.</p>
<p>So Democratic leaders in the House have nothing to turn to except the hyper-partisan “subpoena cannon.”</p>
<p>The Democrats can’t wait for the release of the highly anticipated final report by Special Counsel Mueller. Instead, Chairman Nadler made the political calculation this week to commence with liberal billionaire donor Tom Steyer’s misguided dream of textbook investigative overreach by sending 81 inquiries to Trump-related associates and entities.</p>
<p>Make no mistake; the politics of personal destruction has begun and the American people are paying close attention to who’s behind this shameful effort.</p>
<p>Nadler and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., are acting and sounding more and more like the disgraced late Sen. Joseph McCarthy, R-Wis., every day.</p>
<p>McCarthy was censured by the Senate in 1954 after mounting aggressive investigations of what he claimed was communist infiltration of the federal government, in which many innocent people were smeared by false accusations.</p>
<p>Before interviewing a single witness, Nadler told George Stephanopoulos of ABC News on Sunday that he already believes that President Trump obstructed justice.</p>
<p>And Schiff appears poised to ignore the American people and Mueller’s investigative findings by rehashing the entire Clinton-funded Russia hoax. He’s hired former MSNBC contributor and prosecutor Daniel Goldman to aid his overreaching investigation.</p>
<p>Unsurprisingly, Goldman has already reached his investigative conclusions as well, stating on “Morning Joe” on MSNBC recently that “we already now know that the president has committed a felony in order to obtain the office of the presidency.”</p>
<p>This is McCarthyism 101 – determine guilt first, ask questions later.</p>
<p>Not to be outdone by all this poor judgment, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., is preparing to request 10 years of President Trump’s tax returns for no reason other than to try to embarrass the president politically.</p>
<p>When former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., asked “is there anybody in Washington who believes it will not be leaked,” he hit the nail on the head. If the Ways and Means Committee ends up receiving the president’s tax returns and they get leaked to the press, the partisan hacks responsible must be held accountable.</p>
<p>In the fast-approaching post-Mueller world of no Russian collusion, President Trump will have a big upper hand dealing with these bloviating liberal swamp creatures in the U.S. House. House Democrats are about to find out the hard way that the American people have little appetite for presidential harassment and unsubstantiated investigations in search of crimes.</p>

The more Trump keeps winning the more unhinged the media becomes. Recently Trump called Rush Limbaugh on the 30<sup>th</sup> anniversary of his show and stated that “the people have really been mistreated for so many years by the politicians,” Trump continued. “The country’s been mistreated. The trade deals were so bad. The taxes were so high. The tax cuts are so good; they’ve been so appreciated by so many people. The cut in regulations may be just as important as the tax cuts because businesses are hiring like they’ve never hired before. And, you know, we have a more interesting stat: We have more people working in the United States today than at any time in our history. So many different things are happening.”</p>
<p>Hearing that only reinforced how bizarre, angry, and deranged the media coverage of this president has been.</p>
<p>President Trump landed yet another blow in his ongoing boxing match with the liberal media on Tuesday, opening the day with a tweet that attacked the press for continuing to cover his administration with an utter disregard for the facts.</p>
<p>“The Fake News Media is going CRAZY!” he wrote. “They are totally unhinged and in many ways, after witnessing firsthand the damage they do to so many innocent and decent people, I enjoy watching. In 7 years, when I am no longer in office, their ratings will dry up and they will be gone!”</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://jayceescommentaries.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/unhinged-you-have.jpg" alt="Unhinged-you-have" /><br />
As true as every bit of that remark happens to be – the media is absolutely digging their own grave with their obsessive hatred of this president – it doesn’t compare to the tweets Trump sent on Sunday. In a series of messages, Trump took the media to task for not only ruining journalism with their false, biased reporting but for revealing government secrets that put lives at risk.</p>
<p>“When the media-driven insane by their Trump Derangement Syndrome – reveals internal deliberations of our government, it truly puts the lives of many, not just journalists, at risk,” he wrote. “Very unpatriotic! Freedom of the press also comes with a responsibility to report the news accurately.</p>
<p>“90% of media coverage of my administration is negative,” he continued, “despite the tremendously positive results we are achieving,  it’s no surprise that confidence in the media is at an all-time low! I will not allow our great country to be sold out by anti-Trump haters in the dying newspaper industry. No matter how much they try to distract and cover it up, our country is making great progress under my leadership and I will never stop fighting for the American people!”</p>
<p>CNN’s Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta had a few meltdowns this week on live television and during a White House press briefing.</p>
<p>This after Trump supporters chanted <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2018/07/31/acosta-trump-rally-cnn-sucks/%C2%A0">“CNN sucks” during one of his live shots in Tampa</a>, Florida, a</p>
<p>Acosta has seen his notoriety rise in recent months due to his lack of basic courtesy as a White House correspondent for CNN. Rather than waiting patiently for his turn to politely ask questions of the president or his cabinet, Acosta has become prone to public outbursts and fits of rage as he hurls politically-loaded queries at the administration.</p>
<p>His “questions” are more often framed like statements designed to taunt, embarrass or provoke a specific response that Acosta can then use to challenge the administration’s position. He simply wants to advance his reputation as a media malcontent and isn’t genuinely concerned about the president’s position on anything.</p>
<p>Despite this erratic and unprofessional behavior, Acosta had the temerity to question the “civility” of a group of South Carolina Trump supporters who <a href="https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.businessinsider.com/cnn-jim-acosta-defends-shouting-questions-at-trump-2018-7">interrupted his coverage</a> of the president’s recent rally with boos and jeers. Apparently, Acosta doesn’t enjoy being interrupted by a hostile crowd.</p>
<p>Responding to CNN’s Jim Acosta, who remains bitter over Trump supporters chanting “CNN sucks” and flipping him the bird at Monday’s Trump rally in Florida (CNN has spent years provoking this kind of reaction by smearing Trump supporters as Nazis and racists),</p>
<p>Recently Press Secretary Sarah Sanders responded to Acosta’s constant whining about CNN being attacked by Trump supporters.</p>
<p>Sanders said in a tweet: It’s ironic, Jim, that not only you and the media attack the President for his rhetoric when they frequently lower the level of conversation in this country.  Repeatedly — repeatedly — the media resorts to personal attacks without any content other than to incite anger.</p>
<p>…In fact, as I know — as far as I know, I’m the first Press Secretary in the history of the United States that’s required Secret Service protection. Since Sarah said that now journalists are jumping on bored saying they want secret service protection too. Well they are all from super-wealthy companies that can afford them bodyguards so why not?</p>
<p>Sarah’s father Mike Huckabee tweeted, “I know I’m as objective about @PressSec as @NYTimes new hateful, racist hire Sarah Jeong is about white people, but I still think @PressSec is the WINDSHIELD and little Jim Acosta is the BUG.”</p>
<p>Aside from calling Acosta a “bug” that presumably ended up smashed on Sanders’ “windshield,” Huckabee also referenced the newly hired editorial board member of The New York Times, Sarah Jeong, who has a lengthy social media history of abjectly racist screeds against white people.</p>
<p>Huckabee tweeted, “Breaking wind from CNN! Jim Acosta suffers severe nose bleed from the elevation of his high horse. Taken to safe space and provided with Play Dough, a popsicle, pictures of a pony to color and a puppy.”</p>
<p>Huckabee’s reference to Sarah Jeong was to the new Editorial Board writer for the failing New York Times who was exposed as tweeting extremely racist comments against cops and white people. Such comments as :“<em>Oh man it’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men.</em></p>
<p><em>Dumba** f***ing white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants,”</em> Jeong wrote in November 2014. <em>“white people are genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins,” </em>she wrote a month later.</p>
<p>These comments are only part and partial of hundreds of comments dating back to 2014. And to think Roseanne got fired for far, far less.</p>
<p>The Times defended hiring Jeong saying:“We hired Sarah Jeong because of the exceptional work she has done … her journalism and the fact that she is a young Asian woman have made her a subject of frequent online harassment. For a period of time she responded to that harassment by imitating the rhetoric of her harassers,” The Times said in a statement. “She regrets it, and The Times does not condone it.”</p>
<p>She responded to her criticism by saying:</p>
<p>“I engaged in what I thought of at the time as counter-trolling. While it was intended as satire, I deeply regret that I mimicked the language of my harassers. These comments were not aimed at a general audience, because general audiences do not engage in harassment campaigns. I can understand how hurtful these posts are out of context, and would not do it again,” Jeong wrote.</p>
<p>She only said that to keep her job and because she got caught. The Times should never have hired such a person who has been tweeting thousands of these comments over the last four years. The fact that the Times stood up for her says volumes about them. No wonder the Times is failing and referred to as the New York Slimes.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://jayceescommentaries.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/newyorkslimes.jpg" alt="NewYorkSlimes" /></p>
<p>Now, a so-called conservative columnist for the Washington Post on MSNBC Jennifer Rubin<em>,</em> <a href="http://thehill.com/homenews/media/400480-conservative-columnist-sarah-sanders-should-be-shunned-after-white-house-job">said</a> Sarah Huckabee Sanders “should be shunned” for her work as Trump’s press secretary.</p>
<p>Sanders has always toed the line for Trump. Her unending support of Trump has now upset journalists so much they want her shut out of the ability to earn a living post-Trump presidency. The job of the press secretary is to answer questions from the press and support the president which Sarah has done completely without fail</p>
<p>Rubin is also buying into the new narrative that Trump is putting the life of journalists at risk now because Trump is calling out the media for fake news, journalists are upset. The best way to fix the problem is to report the truth without bias.</p>
<p>Rubin has been against Trump from virtually the beginning and is a perfect example of how a journalist lets his or her personal feelings get in the way of the actual news. I don’t think she’s a real conservative, but just pretending to get conservatives to hate Trump. In some of her articles, she has called Trump an “arrogant fool” and a “flat-out racist.” She’s no conservative that’s for sure. More like a wolf in sheep’s clothing who ate the sheep.</p>
<p>While she is entitled to her opinion about Trump, her accusations are completely unfounded. Now, suddenly, he is a racist simply because it suits the liberal narrative.</p>
<p>The unhinged disease, known as Trump Derangement Syndrome, is an airborne phenomenon spread by casual contact with the liberal mainstream anti-Trump media continues on in the Destroy Trump Media.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="speakable">If you want to understand why Donald Trump is president today (and why he could very well win a second term), look to the Democrats&#8217; hysterical response to two of Trump&#8217;s major foreign policy achievements over the past week.</p>
<p class="speakable">Last Thursday, the president traveled to Joint Base Andrews to greet three American hostages whose release he had secured from North Korea. Unlike his predecessor, Trump did it without sending the offending regime an unmarked plane loaded with hundreds of millions in hard currency. The return of these American captives should have been a moment of celebration and bipartisan unity.</p>
<p>So how did Democrats respond? By blasting Trump for the way he welcomed the U.S. hostages home. The pretext for their outrage was Trump&#8217;s comment thanking Kim Jong Un, who he said &#8220;really was excellent to these three incredible people&#8221; &#8212; by which Trump obviously meant releasing them. No matter. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., took the Senate floor to attack Trump for his &#8220;troubling&#8221; remarks. &#8220;Kim Jong Un is a dictator&#8221; who &#8220;capriciously detained American citizens,&#8221; Schumer declared, channeling Captain Obvious, and warned that, by praising Kim, Trump &#8220;weakens American foreign policy and puts American citizens at risk around the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>Seriously? How do Democrats take a positive event such as the release of American hostages and turn it into an excuse to attack Trump? Apparently, Trump Derangement Syndrome is so debilitating that Democrats can&#8217;t bring themselves to say &#8220;Good job, Mr. President,&#8221; even when he brings our hostages home. Before, Democrats complained that Trump was too belligerent toward Kim; now, they&#8217;re upset that he is too effusive. This is absurd. Trump is laying the groundwork for a high-stakes nuclear summit with Kim; of course the president is not going to publicly criticize him. People in Middle America listen to the Democrats&#8217; reactions and think: Can Trump do nothing right in these people&#8217;s eyes?</p>
<p><em>Apparently, Trump Derangement Syndrome is so debilitating that Democrats can&#8217;t bring themselves to say &#8220;Good job, Mr. President,&#8221; even when he brings our hostages home.</em></p>
<p>Then, a few days later, Trump racked up another major achievement when he fulfilled his promise to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. Four American presidents pledged to do it, but only Trump actually did. How did Democrats respond? Not a single congressional Democrat traveled to Israel to attend the historic opening of the embassy. Sen. Lindsey O. Graham, R-S.C., said that he personally invited Democrats to join the congressional delegation, but no one took him up on the offer. &#8220;I am disappointed that not one Democrat came,&#8221; Graham said. &#8220;What does that say?&#8221; It says not a single Democrat could bring themselves to join in a celebration of what Trump had done.</p>
<p>House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., blasted Trump&#8217;s decision when he announced it in December, declaring that &#8220;moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem now may needlessly spark mass protests, fuel tensions, and make it more difficult to reach a durable peace.&#8221; Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., did the same, declaring, &#8220;The future of Jerusalem is an issue that should be decided by Israel and the Palestinians, not unilaterally by the United States.&#8221; Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., called Trump&#8217;s embassy move a setback while former Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., declared that Trump&#8217;s action would &#8220;severely, perhaps irreparably damage&#8221; peace efforts.</p>
<p>Keep in mind, the past four Democratic Party platforms had called for the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. And last June, the Senate voted 90-0 (with the support of Feinstein, Murphy and Sanders) for a resolution that &#8220;reaffirms the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995,&#8221; which mandated the embassy move (a bill that passed two decades ago with Pelosi&#8217;s vote). Americans see Trump being criticized for doing exactly what Congress demanded, and his Democratic and Republican predecessors promised, and they rightly see hypocrisy.</p>
<p>No matter what Trump does, the Democratic reaction is the same: Outrage. When Democrats can&#8217;t even praise Trump unreservedly for bringing American hostages home or show up when he fulfills a plank of the Democratic Party platform by moving our embassy to Jerusalem, it further convinces millions of Americans who abandoned the Democratic Party in 2016 that they made the right decision.</p>
