Republicans’ Plan To Take Back The House: BE LIKE TRUMP

by DCWhispers | Feb 20, 2020 | DC Whispers

FIGHT TO WIN.

It seems logical enough but in 2018 far too many House republicans, believing the 24/7 anti-Trump far-left media spin, chose to distance themselves from a president who was, and remains, far more popular than any slanted polling numbers would indicate.

The result? Democrats won the House.

Now, a new batch of Republicans has emerged and they recognize that the single greatest asset they have to take back the House is the man currently occupying the White House – a blue collar billionaire who doesn’t back down from a fight and then fights to win every single time.

REPORT: Republicans’ Plan To Take Back The House: BE LIKE TRUMP

FIGHT TO WIN.

It seems logical enough but in 2018 far too many House republicans, believing the 24/7 anti-Trump far-left media spin, chose to distance themselves from a president who was, and remains, far more popular than any slanted polling numbers would indicate.

The result? Democrats won the House.

Now, a new batch of Republicans has emerged and they recognize that the single greatest asset they have to take back the House is the man currently occupying the White House – a blue collar billionaire who doesn’t back down from a fight and then fights to win every single time.

For example, Matt Mowers, 30, is running for the U.S. House in New Hampshire’s 1st district, a swing seat that runs from Manchester to Portsmouth. No incumbent member of Congress has been re-elected since 2008 but it’s been in Democrat hands since Trump won, even though Trump beat Hillary Clinton by a single point in the district.

Bucking conventional wisdom from political consultants, Mowers has embraced Trump, for whom he worked on the 2016 campaign and subsequently in his administration. Mowers also vows to “fight radical socialism,” reflecting Trump’s pugnacious and unapologetic style of taking on opponents.

In northeast Pennsylvania, Jim Bognet, 44, is also running to unseat a Democrat in a competitive district. Like Mowers, Bognet worked in the Trump administration and makes no effort to soft-pedal his intentions of working with the president. A key point of Bognet’s campaign is lambasting incumbent Democrat Matt Cartwright for his support for the Democrat effort to impeach Trump. Bognet’s first radio ad boasts without nuance: “We must stop the assault from Nancy Pelosi and her lap dog Matt Cartwright against our great President Donald Trump.”

In Tennessee, Bill Hagerty, 60, is running for the Senate seat being vacated by retiring Republican Lamar Alexander. Hagerty held a senior position on Trump’s presidential transition and helped U.S. Trade Representative Bob Lighthizer negotiate the new farmer-friendly trade deal with Japan after Trump-appointed Hagerty ambassador. Trump actually beat Hagerty in announcing his own campaign, which the president did without warning via Twitter.

While Tennessee consistently votes Republican in presidential and Senate races, Hagerty represents a change from more passive figures like Alexander and Bob Corker, who left the Senate last year and was often critical of Trump.

Hagerty has made clear he will be an activist senator, joining the state’s other senator, Marsha Blackburn, in actively promoting the Trump agenda.

What’s at stake in congressional races like these is the degree to which a likely Trump second term will make lasting change to America. While Trump has accomplished an impressive amount mostly without Congress in his first term, he’ll need actual legislation to lock in many changes.

In the usual trajectory of an administration, a new president begins with a honeymoon in which Congress enacts the chief executive’s top priority. Barack Obama got a huge spending bill, and later Obamacare. George W. Bush got tax cuts. Bill Clinton got tax hikes and a huge spending increase.

Trump never got a honeymoon. His fellow Republicans controlled both houses of Congress for the first two years of his administration, but refused to advance priorities like the funding the border wall or putting pressure on sanctuary cities. Congress also ignored many major reforms Trump proposed at various federal agencies.

As a result, Trump has made the most of what he can accomplish without Congress.

Damn Anons the SC is stepping up and doing their job, and the circuit court of appeals getting in on the action. I think Leader McConnell needs a big thank you for prioritizing Trumps nominations! Thank you Speaker McConnell, you are doing good, keep it up! Thank you SC and Circuit Courts for upholding the constitution and the laws of our land. You are all greatly appreciated. I guess you just needed reinforcements

Supreme Court Poised to Rebuff Environmental Challenge to Pipeline Crossing Appalachian Trail

Environmental Activists Protest Against Atlantic Pipeline As Supreme Court Hears Case Getty Images

Kevin Daley - FEBRUARY 24, 2020 7:20 PM

The Supreme Court on Monday seemed unwilling to block a planned natural gas pipeline that will run from West Virginia under the Appalachian Trail to the Eastern Seaboard.

The Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a federal agency did not have the authority to issue a special-use permit for pipeline construction under the Appalachian Trail. The government and energy companies responsible for the project warn that the ruling effectively turns the trail into a barrier that walls off the East Coast from resource-rich lands in the interior of the country.

There is no basis in any federal statute to conclude that Congress intended to convert the Appalachian Trail into a 2,200-mile barrier separating critical natural resources from the Eastern Seaboard," the energy companies told the justices in legal briefs.

The project at issue Monday is called the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. Developers say the pipeline is necessary to meet both soaring energy demands and public interest in clean-burning fuel. If constructed, the pipeline would carry natural gas approximately 600 miles from Harrison County, W.Va., to Virginia and North Carolina. The pipeline crosses beneath the Appalachian Trail southwest of Charlottesville, Va., in the George Washington National Forest (GWNF).

The legal question in Monday's case is highly technical, asking which agency is in charge of the trail. The U.S. Forest Service issued a special-use permit to construct the pipeline under the trail pursuant to its jurisdiction over the GWNF.

The Fourth Circuit said that permit is invalid, citing a 1968 law that gives the National Park Service (NPS) administrative authority over the trail. Pipelines cannot be built across national parklands without an act of Congress.

All I seem to hear in my head is “hope and change! », and my mind would speak back, WTF does that mean, explain please? This is an age old, old age tactic, say something people can remember in one sentence and keep on repeating the lie. Man I cannot stand boot edge edge, he’s so condescending and a complete hypocrite, just like O. He should be called out as DS C_A, plenty have been doing it. De Blasions said it best to BDD, don’t be so smug when you just lost

Netanyahu: Israel’s Blue and White Party Only Pretends to Support Trump Peace Plan

Washington Free Beacon Staff - FEBRUARY 24, 2020 10:50 AM

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Blue and White Party won't back President Donald Trump's peace proposal because it needs support from Arab parties to gain a parliamentary majority.

Netanyahu, who leads the Likud Party, spoke to Mark Levin on Fox News's Life, Liberty & Levin about the upcoming Israeli election. He argued that the Trump administration provided a path toward a successful peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians. He also said his rivals in Blue and White are only pretending to support the administration's plan.

"The Blue and White Party is a leftist party in disguise," Netanyahu said. "In order to get center-right voters, they pretend that they're a center-right party and that they will take up the terrific Trump plan."

He said the deal applies Israeli law and "[adds] to Israel's sovereign territory in important places like the Jordan valley, a strategic buffer against invasion and smuggling of weapons from the east. It recognizes the legitimacy and the sovereignty of Israel over communities in our ancestral homeland in Judea and Samaria—this is completely anathema to Blue and White, and their leader said the opposite just a few months ago."

As evidence, Netanyahu mentioned that Blue and White members have consistently opposed Trump and even compared him to Hitler. In addition, he said Blue and White depends on alliances with smaller Arab parties that are part of the Joint List in the Knesset, Israel's parliament, to be able to form a government.

"They're not going to adopt the Trump plan, which would be a historic miss. We have here the deal of the century, the opportunity of the century. We're never going to have something like this, and the only one who will implement it is me, and I think the voters are getting that message," Netanyahu said.
