Rule 5: Denise Bidot

Study: Clinton got 800K noncitizen votes

“Based on national polling by a consortium of universities, a report by Mr. Richman said 6.4 percent of the estimated 20 million adult noncitizens in the U.S. voted in November. He extrapolated that that percentage would have added 834,381 net votes for Mrs. Clinton, who received about 2.8 million more votes than Mr. Trump.”

More likely she got them all. How likely, after all, would they be to vote for the fellow who was promising to deport them?

Twenty percent tax on Mexican imports

Whether the 20 percent holds or is reduced I like the idea of holding their feet to the fire. For years their oligarchy has been dumping their poor on us rather than improve living standards for those without multiple foreign bank accounts.

Plus it sends exactly the right message to American manufacturers who think they can decamp to Nuevo Leon and pay starvation wages to the peons. Our consumer goods may cost more as a result, and the Mexican oligarchy may find their power threatened from within.

But in conjunction with a real, steel wall sunk to bedrock to prevent tunneling… Way cool.

Investigating voter fraud

It’s a good idea, long overdue, and especially because Hussein and his party minions so often claimed there was no such thing. But of course there is, from Cook County, Illinois’s voting of the dead to help elect JFK to California’s probable 2016 fraud by illegal immigrants who were issued driver’s licenses they could use for i.d. So i.d. is not a panacea. Purple fingers might be.

Scrubbing the voter registration rolls for phonies would be even better.

Voter fraud is very much a Democrat thing and has been since at least Tammany Hall. And Trump will have to face it all over again in 2018, gambling that the fraudsters won’t take back the House or a significant part of it, to block his agenda, and again in 2020 when he’s already indicated he will run for a second term.

So anything he can do to change it will be as good for him as for the country.

Old but evergreen

above-heads-600-li

For those among our rare readers who think Trump must now put away his Twitter account and start “behaving presidential,” consider this: Tweeting and dumping on the much-despised American news media went a long way to getting him elected. It worked. He isn’t likely to fix it.

Trumpalot’s challenges

Not very original, this column by WSJ pundit Peggy Noonan, but a decent (if appropriately partly fake) summary of what Trumpalot faces:

“Normally a new president has someone backing him up, someone publicly behind him. Mr. Obama had the mainstream media—the big broadcast networks, big newspapers, activists and intellectuals, pundits and columnists of the left—the whole shebang. He had a unified, passionate party. Mr. Trump in comparison has almost nothing.

“The mainstream legacy media oppose him, even hate him, and will not let up. The columnists, thinkers and magazines of the right were mostly NeverTrump; some came reluctantly to support him. His party is split or splitting. The new president has gradations of sympathy, respect or support from exactly one cable news channel, and some websites. He really has no one but those who voted for him.”

And us Deplorables will continue to do so and hopefully be enough. She neglected to mention Breitbart News, of course, this former Reagan staffer who actually voted for Hussein. The Internet has never been her thing.

And, likewise, the upstart cable newser One America News Network.  But otherwise she summarized it pretty well. Our new executive is likely to be in a constant tug-of-war with all the aforementioned supporters of the Ruling Class. And if the Dims take back the House in 2018, they certainly will find a reason to impeach him. So it’s likely to be a rocky two years ahead and maybe more.

But enjoyable for a deplorable for all that. Let the games begin!

Best part of Trump speech

“For too long, a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost. Washington flourished, but the people did not share in its wealth,” he declared. “Politicians prospered but the jobs left and the factories closed. The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.”

To paraphrase President Lincoln: “I like this man. He fights.”

UPDATE:  And another former president, Jefferson: “I hold that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical world.” Just so.
