Is Eric Swalwell (D-CA) Advocating For A Police State?

I feel sorry for the residents of eastern Alameda County. Californiastan’s 15th Congressional District is represented by lunatic Eric Swalwell.  Swalwell recently accused Fox News Host Tucker Carlson of “doing the bidding of Russia.”

“You’re peddling the narrative that the Trump administration is putting out.  Which also is the Putin narrative, because they’re retweeting this with their Russian bots.”

Swalwell, Rep. Adam Schiff’s water boy, has introduced the Journalist Protection Act which would make attacking or intimidating journalists a federal crime.

He claims President Trump has created a “toxic atmosphere” for journalists and his legislation is needed for their protection.

“Not all attacks on journalists this year have been committed by Trump supporters, but the fact remains that rhetoric emanating from the world’s most powerful office is stoking an environment in which these attacks proliferate. We must send a loud, clear message that such violence won’t be tolerated.”

The Journalist Protection Act is co-sponsored by Swalwell’s Democratic colleagues, including Reps. Steve Cohen (TN), Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC), Maxine Waters (CA), and Gwen Moore (WI).

Obama’s government, the DNC and members of the mainstream media all conspired to manipulate a presidential election by deceiving the FISA court to allow spying on American citizens.  

Swalwell’s bill is a step too far.

Who’s Your Favorite X-Men?

…apparently picking Caitlyn Jenner would be inappropriate.

Via The Hollywood Reporter—Conservative street artist Sabo has appropriated Stephen King’s story It to portray Caitlyn Jenner as the evil clown.  His posters and fake advertisements showed up Sunday in Los Angeles around the Fox News Bureau and Fox Studios in time for Tucker Carlson’s interview of Jenner.

In the faux ads appearing on bus benches for the upcoming movie, Jenner is seen peeking out of a sewer drain, where the clown from It dwells, trying to lure unsuspecting children into his lair. “Tonight on Tucker Carlson: IT,” reads the text. “Based on a novel reality.”

Fox News did not respond to The Hollywood Reporter’s request for comment.

Watch As Tucker Carlson Scorches Zeke Emanuel Over Doomed Obamacare

With help from Republican lawmakers, president-elect Trump will follow through on his campaign promise to get rid of Obamacare  His campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told "Fox News Sunday" the president-elect was considering convening a special session of Congress on the day he's sworn in to repeal Obamacare.

John Barrasso, an orthopedic surgeon for 24 years and the fourth-ranking member of the Senate GOP leadership, promised a smooth transition for the millions of Americans who receive health insurance through the laughably titled Affordable Care Act.  Barrasso reassured everyone they won’t be left out in the cold without coverage.

The weaselly brother of Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel owes America an apology for the rolling disaster of skyrocketing premiums, insurers pulling out of exchanges and rising costs of health care. 

Of course, when the interviewers point out these facts “Zeke” always gets huffy and demands being allowed to filibuster.  He has said, “If we get rid of the exchanges, it’s going to be very hard to see how you get universal coverage.”

That’s the whole point.  Americans don’t want single payer health insurance like Great Britain or Canada and Trump promised to repeal and replace it.



And then there's this:

Holy cow. @MariaBartiromo just REAMED Jonathan Gruber over Obamacare's failures. This is BRUTAL. https://t.co/DNfT1x8pBO

Who Should Tucker Carlson Bring To Dinner With Bill Ayers?

Daily Caller editor-in-chief Tucker Carlson will have a very special dinner date before the end of 2012—with Bill Ayers. Yes, that Bill Ayers.

Carlson donated $2,500 to the Illinois Humanities Council for the honor of supping on a home-cooked meal at the Illinois home of Ayers and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn—both unrepentant leaders of the terrorist [group] Weather Underground.

“I bought the auction dinner because I support the important work of the Illinois Humanities Council,” Carlson emailed The Chicago Tribune. “Anything I can do to help.”

Conservatives slammed Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential race for his association with Ayers. Arizona Sen. John McCain’s running mate, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, famously knocked Obama on the stump for “palling around with terrorists.” While she didn’t mention Ayers by name, it was widely understood that is who she was referring to.

Carlson’s winning dinner bid entitles him to bring up to six people. The dinner must be arranged at a mutually agreed-upon date before October 2012.

Drag Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, Newt Gingrich, Matt Boyle and Ann Coulter along.  Somebody should set up bleachers to view the fireworks.
