The enemy among us

The Enemy Among Us

"There's a reason why in New York Harbor we have the Statue of Liberty, not the Statue of Equality"

An article from the New York Post:

I do not understand how living in a country with its democracy established over 200 years ago, and now, for the first time in history, suddenly we have one of our former presidents set up a group called "Organizing for Action" (OFA).

OFA is 30,000+ strong and working to disrupt everything that our current president’s administration is trying to do.  This organization goes against our Democracy, and it is an operation that will destroy our way of governing.  It goes against our Constitution, our laws, and the processes established over 200 years ago.  If it is allowed to proceed then we will be living in chaos very much like third world countries are run.  What good is it to have an established government if it is not going to be respected and allowed to follow our laws?

If you had an army some 30,000 strong and a court system stacked over the decades with judges who would allow you to break the laws, how much damage could you do to a country?  We are about to find out in America!

Our ex-president said he was going to stay involved through community organizing and speak out on the issues and that appears to be one post-administration promise he intends to keep.  He has moved many of his administration's top dogs over to Organizing for Action.

OFA is behind the strategic and tactical implementation of the resistance to the Trump Administration that we are seeing across America, and politically active courts are providing the leverage for this revolution.

OFA is dedicated to organizing communities for "progressive" change. Its issues are gun control, socialist healthcare, abortion, sexual equality, climate change, and of course, immigration reform.

OFA members were propped up by the ex-president's message from the shadows:  "Organizing is the building block of everything great we have accomplished Organizers around the country are fighting for change in their communities and OFA is one of the groups on the front lines.  Commit to this work in 2017 and beyond."

OFA's website says it obtained its "digital" assets from the ex-president's re-election effort and that he inspired the movement.  In short, it is the shadow government organization aimed at resisting and tearing down the Constitutional Republic we know as AMERICA.

Paul Sperry, writing for the New York Post, says, “The OFA will fight President Donald Trump at every turn of his presidency and the ex-president will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House."

Sperry writes that, “The ex-president is setting up a shadow government to sabotage the Trump administration through a network of non-profits led by OFA, which is growing its war chest (more than $40 million) and has some 250 offices nationwide.  The OFA IRS filings, according to Sperry, indicate that the OFA has 32,525 (and growing) volunteers nationwide.  The ex-president and his wife will oversee the operation from their home/office in Washington DC.

Think about how this works.  For example:  Trump issues an immigration executive order; the OFA signals for protests and statements from pro-immigrant groups; the ACLU lawyers file lawsuits in jurisdictions where activist judges obstruct the laws; volunteers are called to protest at airports and Congressional town hall meetings; the leftist media springs to action in support of these activities; the twitter sphere lights up with social media; and violence follows.  All of this happens from the ex-president's signal that he is heartened by the protests.

If Barack Obama did not do enough to destroy this country in the 8 years he was in office, it appears his future plans are to destroy the foundation on which this country has operated on for the last 241 years.

If this does not scare you, then we are in worse trouble than you know.

So, do your part.  You have read it, so at least pass this on so others will know what we are up against.  We are losing our country and we are so compliant.  We are becoming a "PERFECT TARGET" for our enemy!

Most 'liberal' media bury news about another Trump success

An article By Wanda Carruthers

 

The media has largely ignored a significant $83.7 billion "economic game changer" President Donald Trump helped broker with China during his 12-day trip to Asia that's poised to create numerous petrochemical projects in West Virginia over the next 20 years, Salena Zito said in a New York Post opinion piece Saturday.

President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping witnessed the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding on Thursday between West Virginia Secretary of Commerce H. Wood Thrasher and a representative of China Energy. The investment is part of several Chinese investments totaling $250 billion the president has helped negotiate.

Yet, as Zito pointed out, the BBC and CNN reported the story in their business sections and The New York Times ran a short Associated Press story, giving it "low key" placement and "muted" headlines.

"One would have suspected that the prospect of an investment this large — nearly three times the total annual budget for the Department of Energy — would have been front-page news," said Paul Sracic, political science professor at Youngstown State University.

As Zito pointed out, Trump had little to gain by making a deal to West Virginia if he was out to woo voters, since the state is expected to vote solidly Republican in 2020. This suggested he was perhaps intending to follow through on a campaign promise to bring more jobs to the U.S. economy.

"This deal suggests that Trump hasn't forgotten what really matters to his base, but few are giving him props for it," the article stated.

"We have to make sure it is good for the economy of our state — that the workers of our state get the benefits of the jobs, and that the nation is secure," West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin told the Post.

West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice has insisted the state had offered no financial incentives to bring the deal to fruition — a deal that will bring jobs to a state that had been hit hard by "job and population losses, as well as wage stagnation, over the past 30 years," Zito explained.

However, the lack of coverage failed to communicate significant positive economic changes for the American people.

"Once again, the media is missing a story that matters to the American people outside the liberal echo chamber. But, it would have helped if Trump had shouted about his own success," the article concluded. "Trump needs to remember that his megaphone isn't just for the haters, but for the voters who are desperate to finally see real change."

Atta boy for President Trump

Excerpt from an article written by LiAngelo Ball

Three UCLA basketball players detained in China on suspicion of shoplifting were headed back to the United States on Tuesday after President Donald Trump said he had sought the help of Chinese President Xi Jinping in the case.

Staff for Delta Air Lines confirmed that the players - freshmen LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill - had boarded a Delta flight from Shanghai to Los Angeles.

"What they did was unfortunate," Trump told reporters earlier in Manila. He said the trio, who have been held since last week, could have faced long prison sentences, and described Xi's response as "terrific."

"They're working on it right now," Trump said.

Trump had raised the issue with Xi during a dinner held during the U.S. leader's Nov. 8 to 10 state visit to Beijing. Trump was in the Philippines capital for a summit of Asian leaders.

Asked about the trio and Trump's discussing the issue with Xi, China Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a daily news briefing in Beijing: "Until now, I have not received any update, so I am unable to provide any further information."

The three basketball players from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) were detained by police on Nov. 7 in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou over allegations of shoplifting. They were not on the team's return flight to the United States on Saturday.

A senior White House official said the players had been given relatively light treatment due to Trump's intervention.

"It's in large part because the president brought it up," the official told Reuters.

I seriously doubt that you will see this reported in the main stream HATE-TRUMP media. After all, it does reflect the fact that Trump is aware of Americans in trouble, and actually does something positive to help!
