GOPDD: BUSTED: Chuck Schumer Now Opposes Refugee Ban – But Here’s What He Said 2 Year Ago…

Jan 31, 2017 by Harry Hibbs

Chuck Schumer was brought to tears on Sunday during a press conference condemning President Trump’s temporary halt on immigrants from seven nations. However, it wasn’t long ago that the New York Senator was singing a different tune.
But back in November of 2015 the same Chuck Schumer said that a halt of Syrian refugees may be necessary after the Paris attacks happened that killed well over 100 innocent people.

President Donald Trump’s “extreme vetting” executive order resulted in protests at airports across the country.

Independent Journal Review reached out to some Muslims for their opinions on the executive order and got back some interesting responses.

FREEDOM FORCE: Important Muslims Come Out in Support of Trump’s Immigration Order

By Onan Coca January 31, 2017

I wonder if this will get the liberal wingnuts to shut their yappers and stop complaining about President Trump’s immigration orders? Probably not…
On Monday’s episode of Fox & Friends co-founder of “The Muslim Reform Movement,” Asra Nomani, spoke out in defense of President Donald Trump and his recent executive order pressing pause on immigration from certain Muslim majority countries.

FREEDOM FORCE: Donald Trump has Selected his Supreme Court Nominee…

By Onan Coca January 31, 2017

Earlier today President Trump called his top two nominees for the Supreme Court to the White House.
Colorado Judge Neil Gorsuch and Pennsylvania Judge Thomas Hardiman were both conveyed to the White House earlier today to meet with President Trump. While some joked that the President was holding a “boardroom” session like the ones he became famous for on his television show, the reason for calling both likely had more to do with the president wanting to assure both men that they were excellent applicants for the job.

GOPDD: Sheriff Clarke – Enough Of These Lectures By One Percenters Dictating “Who We Are”

Jan 29, 2017 by Rick Wells

Sheriff David Clarke is asked for his take on week one of the Trump administration. Once again he nailed point after point. Clarke said, “Well first of all I thought it was a good start because what President Trump has to do first is set the table and that’s what he’s doing. He’s undoing some of the damage with the executive orders, many of those that violated the Constitution, circumvented Congress, we got rid of those.”
Clarke reminds the audience, “And what he did was create some executive orders that help him enforce existing law, not make new law, so I was glad to see that. I still don’t understand why people have a problem, when I say people I mean the New York Times, the Washington Post, media elites, political elites, with Donald Trump tweeting at three o’clock in the morning. I do some of my best tweeting at that time of day.”

Jan 29, 2017 by Harry Hibbs

GOPDD: President Trump Declares George Soros as “National Security Threat”… Using Obama’s Executive Order

Jan 30, 2017 by Harry Hibbs

Donald Trump plans to charge billionaire elitist George Soros as a “threat to national security” in the United States when he takes office later this month. Considering that this is the same man that has mobilized and paid protesters to create a tremendous amount of damage, it’s been a long time coming for this order.
Trump had placed a call to Russia to ask about “any and all” files that are related to Soros. He was able to do this thanks to the 2014 Executive Order that was signed by President Obama, entitled “Blocking Property of Certain Persons Contributing to the Situation in Ukraine.”

GOPDD: President Trump Crushes State Department Officials Who Covered Up Benghazi

Jan 30, 2017 by Harry Hibbs

President Donald Trump promised to “drain the swamp,” and now, news agencies are reporting shocking information coming out of the Department of State, proving that he’s keeping his word. Four high-level officials just received a crushing blow from Trump, and they all have one thing in common — they all were involved in helping Hillary Clinton cover up Benghazi.
Original reports from the lame-stream media alleged of a mass exodus from the State Department as several top officials tendered their resignation. However, it is very clear now that they have once again spun the facts to make Trump look bad.

FREEDOM FORCE: It’s NOT a “Muslim Ban;” Stop Calling it That!

By Onan Coca January 30, 2017

Ladies and gentlemen, please hear my heart on this. The mainstream media and the left seek to divide our nation. They do this by twisting facts and guiding the national conversation in a direction they find advantageous.
The recent hullabaloo over President Trump’s immigration order that effectively “pauses” refugee migration for 120 days, is proof of the manipulation.

FREEDOM FORCE: The War on Police Takes a Striking New Toll in Chicago

Andrew WestMonday, January 30, 2017

As Chicago continues its downward spiral into a Hellish nightmare of violence, shootings, murder, and mayhem, the war on police in the Windy City has a surprising new casualty.

The liberal war on police has claimed a terrible new statistic is “handgun free” Chicago.

Given that Chicago has been in the grips of an outlaw gun violence epidemic stemming from their handgun ban of 1982, it comes as no surprise that the brave men and women of law enforcement in Chi-Town are having a terribly difficult time protecting and serving their citizens. Now, a sobering new statistic has come to light.

GOPDD: Donald Trump Blasts John McCain and Lindsey Graham on Twitter

Jan 29, 2017 by Harry Hibbs

GOPDD: Sen Warren Cheerleads A Spattering Of “Mimicking Morons,” Aiding Terrorism

Jan 29, 2017 by Rick Wells

Democrats have an inherent need to include mindless repetition and chanting as part of their mind control over those who are ignorant enough to buy into their false claims and help them advance their agenda. In this instance, pretend Indian and financial ethics hypocrite Senator Elizabeth Warren made a trip to Logan Airport in Boston to protest efforts by the Trump administration to defeat terrorism by not allowing the terrorists in.

GOPDD: Snake Shedding Crocodile Tears – Schumer “Pulls An Obama” Crying Over Terrorist Ban

Jan 29, 2017 by Rick Wells

Chuck Schumer exhibits two of the characteristics that make Democrats unique as a variety of serpent. They are the only snakes with eyelids and the only ones capable of fake crying. In his latest performance on Sunday night, Schumer “the humanitarian” attacked the Trump administration for not allowing terrorists free access to the United States, criticizing the Trump administration’s ban on travel from seven terrorist nations.

GOPDD: Trump True To His Word: Orders Pre-Dawn Attack On Al Qaeda In Yemen (Video)

Jan 29, 2017 by William Smith

This was the the first counterterrorism offensive under President Donald Trump, and the first combat death under the new administration.
One U.S. service member was killed and three were wounded in a raid against a group of senior Al Qaeda leaders in central Yemen, officials said.
The U.S. Central Command said in a statement Sunday that another service member was injured in a “hard landing” in a nearby location.
“We are deeply saddened by the loss of one of our elite servicemembers,” Commander of U.S. Central Command Gen. Joseph Votel said in a statement. “The sacrifices are very profound in our fight against terrorists who threaten innocent peoples across the globe

FREEDOM FORCE: Former President Barack Obama feverishly pushed his liberal agenda in the waning hours of his presidency, including a near-secret ban on specific ammunition.

One of Obama’s final actions in office was, unsurprisingly, a piece of anti-2nd Amendment legislation.

The ban, which flew under the noses of Washington as it prepared for the inauguration of President Donald Trump, will affect certain ammunition types on certain pieces of property throughout the United States – a massive dig at the 2nd Amendment.

“U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe, an Obama appointee, ordered a new ammunition ban for certain federal lands on Thursday–his last full day in office.

GOPDD: Sen. Elizabeth Warren Under Fire from All Sides After a 1.3 Million Credit Line Surfaces

Jan 28, 2017 by Harry Hibbs

Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren is under fire after lecturing about ethics and financial transparency in the Washington Post.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:

Warren argued that financial disclosures are needed to ‘reveal potentially damaging information that may undermine fitness to serve’ and that nominees with ‘complex financial histories’ need to be ‘forthcoming and transparent.’ Warren, meanwhile, continues to skirt congressional ethics laws by failing to include a $1.3 million line of credit against her Cambridge, Massachusetts, home on financial disclosure forms.

GOPDD: YES! President Trump’s Immigration Ban Causes Airport Confusion [Video]

Jan 28, 2017 by Dylan

Bare Naked Islam President Donald Trump’s Muslim ban means not only Muslim refugees and travelers, but thousands of Muslims with green cards and dual nationality also “can and are being barred from entry into US” for at least four months…maybe longer.

Reuters President Donald Trump’s most far reaching action since taking office plunged America’s immigration system into chaos on Saturday, not only for refugees but for legal U.S. residents who were turned away at airports and feared being stranded outside the country.

GOPDD: President Donald Trump Announces Syrian Christian Refugees Will be Given Priority for Entering U.S.

Jan 27, 2017 by Harry Hibbs

0.47% of Syrian refugees coming into the U.S. were Christians in 2016. Trump says that’s about to change…
The number of Christian refugees coming to the US from Syria compared to the number of Muslim refugees is astounding:
As of August 29, 2016, 224 new Syrian refugee arrivals have been reported. That lifts the total this fiscal year to 10,126, of whom 52 or 0.51 percent are Christians; and 9,945 or 98.2 percent, are Sunni Muslims.
The Obama administration’s goal was to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees in the fiscal year.

GOPDD: Trump Suspends All Refugee Programs, Bans Terrorist Nation Visas

Jan 27, 2017 by Rick Wells

If you’re an ISIS or other terrorist who was planning on infiltrating the Syrian “refugee” population and making your way to the United States, you’ll need to either abandon terrorism as a career choice or, at a minimum, find a new target. Merkel’s Germany seems like a logical alternative but France under Hollande is just as suicidal and tempting of a target.
With a declaration that, “This is big stuff,” President Trump acknowledged the significance of an Executive Order he signed on Friday titled, “Protection of the nation from foreign terrorist entry into the United States.” He took America off of the target list for some key threat groups.

GOPDD: Obama Allied With Al-Qaeda In Syria – Rep Gabbard On Assad Meeting

Jan 27, 2017 by Rick Wells

It’s logical to deduce that during their November 21st meeting in Trump Tower, President Trump could have asked Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) if she would be open to helping him with problems that fall into her areas of expertise. Gabbard is a Major in the Hawaii Army National Guard with two deployments to Iraq and serves on the House Armed Services Committee.
In an interview following their November meeting, Gabbard said she and Mr. Trump discussed legislation she was backing to end what she described as “our country’s illegal war to overthrow the Syrian government.” Mr. Trump asked Gabbard to meet with him, she said, for a discussion of “Syria, the fight to defeat the ISIS and al Qaeda, and other foreign policy issues.”

Jan 27, 2017 by Rick Wells

Senator Mike Lee responds to a question by Sean Hannity regarding the appointment of a replacement for Judge Scalia on the Supreme Court. He’s asked, “If he appoints an originalist in a week and a half to the US Supreme Court and the Democrats filibuster, do you think the nuclear option precedent, set by Harry Reid, should be used to advance the nominee and have a straight up or down vote, in other words, the nuclear option?”

Folks in Indiana and Kentucky, please know that your local Chili’s restaurants are doing their very best to support Planned Parenthood (PP).

Jan 27, 2017 by William Smith

Anyone who doubted that Donald Trump would really stick to his campaign promises, grossly underestimated him as the world has seen in his first couple days in office that he isn’t anything like Barack Obama.

Former Secretary of State Madeline Albright announced Wednesday that she wants to “register as Muslim” as a protest against President Donald Trump.
On Twitter, Albright went through her religious history before saying she was ready to change faiths.
