Gallup: “Right track” response highest in 12 years – Trump approval ties his personal best...

Liberals require misery to win. A happy, successful, country is not a place where their doomsaying can find purchase, so the better things are going, the harder it is for them to sell their class-warfare ideology. If people are happy, they’re not looking for a scapegoat – and the blame game is the only operational strategy the left has.

So, if you’re a lefty looking for a big midterm victory, the newest round of Gallup polling has some bad news for you. People are pretty pleased with the way things are going…

“The satisfaction rate, which Gallup has measured at least monthly since 2001, has now topped 35% three times this year — a level reached only three times in the previous 12 years (once each in 2006, 2009 and 2016).

…The rise in satisfaction over the past two months comes amid a spate of positive economic news — including the shrinking of the unemployment rate to levels last seen in 2000 and the continuation of an economic expansion that is now the second longest on record. ”

Oof. That’s a hard pill to swallow if your entire 2018 Midterm message is built upon the idea that everything is awful. At least progressives can still go out there and scream about the President, right? After all, the Pelosis of the world are constantly telling us that we’re just minutes away from massive, nationwide, anti-Trump riots!

Uh-oh.

President Donald Trump’s job approval rating averaged 45% in Gallup polling last week, tying his personal high. His previous 45% rating occurred in the first week after he was inaugurated as president.

The recent increase in Trump’s approval puts his rating on par with...

There will likely be a TON of leaks coming out of the just-concluded meeting between President Trump and Republicans in Congress.

The main reason is this: Donald Trump let them have it with both barrels. Apparently, it was Trump unleashed like the D.C. Swamp hadn’t yet seen.

“You really want to try and win your election in November without me? I don’t think so.”

UPDATE: “I’m following the law as it’s written. If you don’t like the law then Congress needs to change it. It’s simple. Simple. I’m with you but if you don’t like it you need to do something about it…It looks bad. Sure. Really bad. If you want to change that then change the law. DO SOMETHING. You people (Congress) have to change it. That’s how it has to be done.”

UPDATE #2: “We all know what it is. It’s fake. Fake news. CNN…it’s fake. The pictures…that was Obama’s, during his administration, not mine. You can’t let it scare you. That’s what they want. That’s why they do it. This law, you just need to change it if you don’t like it. And that’s the way it is. I’m not here to save you. I’m here to let you know I’ll support you but you have to do something. Or not. But if you don’t do something don’t come crying to me about it okay? Right?”

UPDATE #3: “Why is this coming up now? I mean, it’s so obvious am I right? Mitch knows. The economy, jobs, North Korea, there’s so much great news they had to do the fake news. I’m not saying the pictures aren’t bad. They’re bad. Certainly not good. They make it look bad. You have to do something. You have to work together. It could be such a big, beautiful thing if you did that. The Democrats won’t help. We all know that. They think this is good for them. We’ll see about that. But doing something, working together, isn’t that why you’re here? It should be. And if you don’t...

You have come across a mystery box. But what is inside?

It could be literally anything from the serene to the horrific,

from the beautiful to the repugnant,

from the mysterious to the familiar.

If you decide to open it, you could be disappointed,

you could be inspired, you could be appalled.

This is not for the faint of heart or the easily offended.

You have been warned.

Girls With Guns

Recent data, released today by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), revealed that the government granted amnesty to 53,000 illegal aliens -- 7% of all DACA recipients -- with existing criminal convictions under Pres. Obama's DACA executive amnesty. Of those criminal aliens approved for DACA, 10 were granted status despite being arrested for murder.

Additionally, the DHS report revealed that almost 8,000 more illegal aliens ended up with criminal charges after they were granted amnesty through the program. The data also show that of those criminal DACA recipients, 31 were charged with rape, 500 allegedly committed sex crimes, and more than 2,000 were arrested for driving while intoxicated.

"You have to have a conviction. You can be arrested a whole lot of times and get DACA," USCIS Director Francis Cissna said in a Fox News interview.

According to the report, more than 1,200 DACA recipients were granted amnesty, despite having between five and nine arrests on their records. Another 24 were granted amnesty, despite having been arrested more than 19 times, and regardless of the severity of the crime.

The report's release comes as the House is scheduled to vote on the Ryan Amnesty plan that would grant amnesty to at least 1.8 million illegal aliens. Because the Ryan Amnesty, like DACA, allows illegal aliens with criminal charges to still qualify, it would enable illegal aliens with multiple arrests for crimes to be eligible for...

U.S. Army To Deploy Autonomous Killer Robots On Battlefield By 2028

United States Army Secretary Mark Esper recently revealed that the military has a strategic vision of utilizing autonomous and semi-autonomous unmanned vehicles on the battlefield by 2028.

“I think robotics has the potential of fundamentally changing the character of warfare. And I think whoever gets there first will have a unique advantage on the modern battlefield,” Esper said during a Brookings Institution event.

“My ambition is by 2028, to begin fielding autonomous and certainly semi-autonomous vehicles that can fight on the battlefield,” he added. “Fight, sustain us, provide those things we need and we’ll continue to evolve from there.”

In a preview of the U.S. Army’s strategic vision, released on June 6, Esper said the integration of these forces would become a critical strategic component, quoting from the document:

The Army of 2028 will be able to deploy, fight, and win decisively against any adversary, anytime, and anywhere … through the employment of modern manned and unmanned ground combat systems aircraft, sustainment systems and weapons.

When Esper was reportedly asked about concerns regarding autonomous robots being a threat to humanity, he replied in jest, “Well, we’re not doing a T-3000 yet,” referencing the Terminator movie series about self-aware AI threatening the existence of humanity.

Of course, while he jokes about the threat of autonomous killer robots, polymath inventor Elon Musk clearly takes the potential of such a threat much more seriously, as evidenced by his comments at the South by Southwest (SXSW) conference and festival on March 11, in which he said that “AI is far more dangerous than...

Loretta Lynch and Clinton Aide Shared “Highly Classified Material” in 2016

Inspector General Michael Horowitz and the FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Monday afternoon. There was one important piece of information that has been largely ignored.

During the testimony, the Inspector General Michael Horowitz admitted that top-level Clinton 2016 campaign operative Amanda Renteria and Attorney General Loretta Lynch exchanged “highly classified material” with each other in 2016.

Amanda Renteria worked for United States Senators Dianne Feinstein and Debbie Stabenow and she worked on Hillary Clinton’s campaign. She came on board as one of the Latinos for Hillary.

The “highly classified” material was so secret that Inspector General Michael Horowitz refused to talk about it during the Senate hearing on Monday.

Senator Kennedy: Your index does it contain or discuss an email that refers to a conversation allegedly between Attorney General Lynch and a person by the name of Amanda Renteria?

Inspector General Horowitz: I’m not sure what I can say about that publicly so would ask you if I can get back to...
