Surely the Democrat party hasn’t fallen that far. – Savin’ My Money \n Dear Savin’: \n Well apparently this isn’t your parent’s Democrat party anymore. Earlier this year Warren joined other Democrat contenders in calling for the legalization of sex workers. \n Warren stated: “I’m open to decriminalization. Sex workers, like all workers, deserve autonomy but they are particularly vulnerable to physical and financial abuse and hardship. We need to make sure that we don’t undermine legal protections for the most vulnerable, including the millions of individuals who are victims of human trafficking each year.” \n As with most politicians, Warren doesn’t listen to the words coming out of her own mouth. First of all, Democrats don’t want to secure the southern border where a large percentage of human trafficking transpires. How does an open border policy protect the women, girls, and boys caught up in sex trafficking? \n Second of all, what does legalizing prostitution do for the moral fiber of our country? Granted it goes on, but that is no reason to throw up our hands and make it legal.  One needs to look no further than the streets of San Francisco where they give away free needles for illegal drug abusers and the mess that has caused. \n Third, what kind of bureaucratic nightmare would it take to regulate the sex industry. And no, Bill Clinton will not be called to lead the Department of Sex.\n DEAR MARK: ‘Crazy Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sticks her nose in every issue when sometimes silence is the best option. Disgraced California congresswoman Katie Hill recently resigned because some pretty explicit and offensive photos were released. Not only were the photos salacious but they also confirmed an affair with a staffer which is illegal in congress. That didn’t stop Ocasio-Cortez from opening her trap by saying Hill’s resignation wouldn’t have happened if Hill had been a man. When will Alexandra’s 15 minutes be up? – Pass the Earplugs Please \n Dear Earplugs: \n I hope never. For Republicans, Ocasio-Cortez is the “jelly of the month club” – the gift that keeps on giving. For starters, AOC apparently doesn’t know her congressional history as there is a litany of male politicians who have been forced from office for sexual misconduct to put it mildly. I’ll try to use some logic ...  I know it will confuse little AOC but here’s what her explanation gets us. According to Ocasio-Cortez, if photos emerged of Adam Schiff sitting in his office naked brushing Jerry Nadler’s hair, there would be no repercussion for the congressmen. Hope I didn’t ruin you breakfast with that visual.\n DEAR MARK: \n Pocahontas Warren released her “Medicare for All” plan at the bargain price of $52 trillion over ten years. But wait there’s more, she won’t raise taxes on the middle class to pay for it. I’m not very good at math but something doesn’t seem to add up. The 2019 federal budget is $4.4 trillion with revenue estimated to be $3.5 trillion. So with a nearly $1 trillion shortfall each year, where does Warren expect to get this money? – Not so Richie Rich \n Dear Not: \n Well if the Democrats didn’t have a war on Christmas, I’d say from Santa Claus.  After Warren’s smoke and mirror show it comes down to more taxes. She wants to tax the wealthy, businesses, and business transactions to name a few. Warren might be technically correct that the middle class will not see a direct tax increase under her plan. However in typical liberal economic ignorance, Lizzie fails to realize that corporations and all businesses for that matter pass on their tax costs to the consumers in the form of higher prices. \n What is more laughable is that Warren says her plan will raise another $2-3 trillion by eliminating the fraud, waste, and abuse from the insurance companies. Warren can call me when she proves she can clean up the fraud, waste, and abuse in Washington first.\n DEAR MARK: \n Can you sort out this impeachment thing for me? – Simple Simon\n Dear Simple: \n Unfortunately I can’t, because by the time I write a response to your email, send it to my editor, and it’s published, Adam Schiff and the media will have moved the goal posts again and changed the narrative for the umpteenth time.\n E-mail your questions to mark <a href=\"mailto:levy92@aol.com\">levy92@aol.com</a>.

Barack Obama was actually receiving some praise from conservatives because he came out against the “cancel culture.” As liberal as Obama is, how can conservatives possibly agree with anything he says? Also what is “woke?” – Not so Hip in Hoboken \n Dear Hip:   \n A blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally and the same holds true for Barack Obama. Here are Obama’s comments I believe you’re referring to: “I do get a sense sometimes now among certain young people, and this is accelerated by social media — there is this sense sometimes of the way of me making change is to be as judgmental as possible about other people, and that’s enough. If I tweet or hashtag about how you didn’t do something right or used the wrong verb, then I can sit back and feel pretty good about myself. Did you see how woke I was, I called you out… That’s not activism. That’s not bringing about change. If all you’re doing is casting stones, you’re probably not going to get that far.” \n Obama was talking about this notion that if a speaker is going to say anything liberals disagree with the event should be protested until it is “cancelled.” We’ve seen this on college campuses  with whiny students demanding safe spaces when people like Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro, etc. are scheduled to speak. Isn’t that nice coming from a party that is so open minded, and dripping with free speech? I don’t often give Obama credit, but I believe he sees the damage this “cancel culture” is doing to the Democrat party’s chances in 2020. \n According to Urban Dictionary “woke” is the act of being very pretentious about how much you care about a social issue as in: I wish people were more “woke” on President Trump’s economy and how it has helped the black community. Okay liberals will probably never utter that sentence.\n DEAR MARK: \n San Francisco is once again showing why it is the true capital of “the land of fruits and nuts.” They’re refusing to do business with 22 states that have prolife laws. Can’t they just stick to filling potholes and dealing with their homeless problem? – Common Sense Sam \n Dear Sam: \n I’ll let former California Republican Party Chairman Tom Del Beccaro answer that question. On Fox and Friends, Del Beccaro said that California “should be paying more attention to internal issues, rather than imposing their values on others. But, keep in mind how hypocritical they are. The city of San Francisco and the state of California do a ton of business with China. Which does what? Forced abortions, killing of people of wrong religions, shutting down of churches...They don’t have a problem doing business with China, but Iowa? Boy, they must be bad people.”\n DEAR MARK: \n There are rumblings that Hillary views herself as some kind of Democrat savior and might enter the presidential race for a third time. Please tell me this isn’t true. – Same Old Song \n Dear Same:   \n I wish I could, but with Hillary’s incessant blathering and fragile ego, anything’s possible. On top of that, Bill probably wants her out of the house and back on the campaign trail. \n From a political analysis standpoint, there’s no guarantee that Hillary would even make it out of the Democrat primary as the nominee. Normally by this stage of a presidential campaign a candidate has to have a substantial team in place, especially the fundraising arm. Today the leading Democrat contenders have solidified their positions in the polls and much of the top campaign talent is already aligned with them. \n I believe if Hillary plans to enter the race, she is purposely avoiding the pre-Iowa debates and is waiting. She knows she can’t enter the primaries as a traditional Democrat because she’ll lose the nomination, however if Hillary tacks too far left she jeopardizes the presidency. As illustrated by   her nonstop babbling for the last three years, she is blinded by this Moby Dick she’s chasing called the White House. She seems to think all the Bernie, Warren, and Biden supporters will magically rollover like good doggies and accept Hillary as the nominee again. Stranger things have happened, and the Clinton’s do have a way with changing the rules in their favor. \n   \n E-mail your questions to markl <a href=\"mailto:evy92@aol.com\">evy92@aol.com</a>.\n', created = 1574405818, expire = 1574492218, headers = '', serialized = 0 WHERE cid = '2:5be2927e0362da2fae2d877d19f5c7d8' in /home/conserva/public_html/includes/cache.inc on line 112.

Throughout long human history, terms like lynching, noose, racism, slavery, ghetto etc. etc. have been applied with equal enthusiasm to countless groups and at countless times. In this country, at this time, rage at words like these can no longer be legitimately claimed by blacks, or any other living group. There is only one word still emotionally charged enough to incite riot (and that word is not in my vocabulary). I have had it up to here with the long list of triggers these crazy ideologues try to impose on our culture. Never, ever, tell me I cannot say a thing because it might offend. \n It’s really sad. These Obama Youth are never going to know what hit them. - #1A \n Dear #1A:  \n Yes the Obama Youth, snowflakes, or buttercups are so easily offended today, and liberal politicians supported by the media take complete advantage of any bogus opportunity to cry foul. You’re referring of course to President Trump using the word “lynching” to describe the impeachment proceedings he is currently facing. \n Once again it was a tweet from President Trump that started this fake news hissy fit and feigned indignation from politicians and media talking heads.  The president tweeted this factual zinger: “So someday, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights. All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here - a lynching. But we will WIN!” \n President Trump was simply using a literary device by tweeting the word “lynching.” I believe the term is metaphor or maybe simile, or possibly hyperbole. Anyway, you’d think that with all the creative artsy fartsy liberals they would understand that. But no, Democrats are doing more pearl clutching than when the ladies church choir accidently walked into a male strip club. \n If it weren’t for double standards, Democrats would have no standards at all. Just this week former Obama National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, called GOP Senator Lindsey Graham a piece of s--- and libs think she’s so woke. A sitting congresswoman and “Squad Member” is selling “Impeach the motherf-----” t-shirts to raise money and that’s so cool and hip. But President Trump uses a word that is very common and a word that numerous prominent Democrats are on video emphatically using, and he’s hammered. The left still hasn’t found a cure for Trump Derangement Syndrome and their reaction is like people who are allergic to poison ivy or peanuts, one whiff and it’s all over. \n On a side note, Hillary really goes ballistic when President Trump refers to this investigation as a “witch hunt.”\n DEAR MARK: \n This impeachment charade is getting to be too much. Personally I can’t believe the media is even giving these “Schiffty” double secret hearings any credence with their total lack of transparency and all the selective leaks designed to hurt the president. One Democrat congressman was such a drama queen and called it his most disturbing day in Congress. How long can this continue? – Ding, Ding, Ding \n Dear Ding:  \n The drama will continue until Democrats find another avenue to attack President Trump before the election. The congressman who basically wet his pants for the cameras is Andy Levin, a freshman Democrat from Michigan. Here’s his quote: “All I have to say is that in my 10 short months in Congress—it’s not even noon, right?—and this is the—my most disturbing day in the Congress so far.”  Because the hearings are closed to the media and transcripts are not even being provided, I can only speculate why Levin was so “disturbed.” I believe it’s because Democrats didn’t find a smoking gun and didn’t hear what they wanted to hear.\n DEAR MARK: \n Why do Democrats inject race into everything? I’m no fan of Mark Zuckerberg but I believe he was unfairly attacked by Democrats this week during congressional hearings. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty attacked Zuckerberg for basically being racist and by ruining the lives of African-Americans. I’m no fan of Facebook but really? – Louis in Mississippi \n Dear Louis: \n Quick answer – racism is the only answer Democrats can ever give. Also, isn’t Facebook ruining the lives of everybody?\n  E-mail your questions to mark <a href=\"mailto:levy92@aol.com\">levy92@aol.com</a>.

I’m not so pretentious as to put words in anyone’s mouth but the answer is yes. \n Issue 2 - Basketball superstar and safety pin wearing snowflake Lebron James shot off his mouth stating that Houston Rockets General Manger Daryl Morey “wasn’t educated” when it came to the situation between Hong Kong and China. Uh, excuse me Mr. James, but Morey has a degree from Northwestern and an MBA from MIT while you went straight to the NBA after only graduating high school. \n It seems that Morey understands the Hong Kong battle for freedom much better than the future hall of famer, unless James agrees with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s warning that any effort to split with China will result in “bodies smashed and bones ground to powder.” Although many liberals tend to like communists. \n Issue 3 - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez began crying during a climate change speech because she said she’s “A woman whose dreams of motherhood now taste bittersweet because of what I know about our children’s future and that our actions are responsible for bringing their most dire possibilities into focus.” Let’s don’t tell her that the world isn’t going to end in ten years like she believes. Ocasio-Cortez could help save the planet by not passing her genes down to any further generations. \n Issue 4 - President Trump has awarded the 2020 Group of Seven summit of world leaders to his private company, Trump National Doral Miami golf resort in Florida and the Democrats are trying to use this as additional impeachment fodder. I say good for President Trump. He can give the treasury a 20 percent discount and the Democrats can stew in their own jealous envy.\n ISSUE 5 - President Trump was accused of calling Nancy Pelosi “a third-rate politician” during a White House meeting this week. Rarely do I disagree with the president, but our Commander in Chief is wrong on this one. San Fran Nan is a first-rate politician but a third-rate statesman. Just as she’s a first-rate liar but a third-rate human. \n Issue 6 - Barack Obama endorsed Justin Trudeau for Canadian Prime Minister saying: “the world needs his progressive leadership.” I won’t bore you with why the world does not need any more progressive leaders, but two things jump out at me concerning this endorsement. First, talk about meddling in foreign elections. Second, Joe Biden was heard muttering, “why not me Barack?” \n Issue 7 – Nancy Pelosi attempted to wrap herself in the Constitution again by implying the Democrat impeachment push was like America’s fight for independence against Great Britain. All I can say is Pelosi should know – she has been present for both.\n Issue 8 – Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke, whose campaign is flailing worse than the naked swimmer in the movie Jaws, now says criminals will voluntarily turn in their guns to authorities under his buy back proposal. O’Rourke’s thought process is so far fetched that even CNN’s Alison Camerota called him out on the notion that criminals would obey the law. Unfortunately for CNN’s gun control talking points, the network just agreed with the NRA’s argument that gun control will only hurt legal gun owners and that criminals and mass shooters will never follow stricter gun legislation.  Jeff Zucker the president of CNN just choked on his latte. \n Issue 9 – Bernie Sanders made the wild declaration that Americans would be happy to open up their wallets for higher taxes to pay for his healthcare plan. I’m no cardiologists but exactly how long was the blood flow cut off to Bernie’s brain during his heart attack?\n FINALLY - During the Democrat debate, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker said if elected, he would create the “office of reproductive freedom and reproductive rights.” Sorry Cory, but Bill Clinton already tried that in the Oval Office and Hillary vetoed it.\n E-mail your questions to mark <a href=\"mailto:levy92@aol.com\">levy92@aol.com</a>.

To them freedom is life. He recognizes the internal threat to our security (hence his Wall) and embraces big stick diplomacy overseas (no apology tour for him). Lincoln had it right about the house divided; and just as their forbears did with Lincoln, today’s rebels would destroy Trump. - Northern Redneck \n Dear Redneck: \n How right you are, only today Democrats are using the phony impeachment “inquiry” in lieu of a civil war. Let’s don’t forget the Democrat propaganda machine, the media, is a 50/50 partner in the left’s attempt to stage this coup. \n I don’t use those terms lightly because look at how the left is building its case to impeach President Trump. The American people are supposed to accept Pelosi, Schiff, and their other civil war leaders’ star witness account as the crux of their prosecution. A star witness who they do not want to identify publicly and now they will conveniently accept only written testimony and not allow Republicans to subpoena their own witnesses or question the individual leveling the accusations.  A “whistleblower” who acknowledges only second or third hand secret information of a phone call for which a transcript has been released in it’s entirety. \n So theoretically or in this case reality, they could just make up a “whistleblower,” fill out the paperwork and accuse any figure they disagree with politically. If the accused balks at the phony kangaroo court like antics then obstruction is added to the charges. All the while we’re supposed to trust the Democrats to be fair arbiters of justice simply because Nancy Pelosi gets on television and wraps herself in the Constitution. (I bet she couldn’t find a copy in her office.) One need look no further than Russian collusion or the multiple unsubstantiated attacks on Justice Kavanaugh as proof. \n Sadly, when the impeachment shenanigans fizzle out, the Democrats will try something else.\n DEAR MARK:  \n Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren has been caught in another blatant lie and the media is letting her slide again. This time she’s saying she was let go from her teaching job because she was pregnant. Yet in a video from 2007 she clearly states she left teaching because she did not have the proper certifications to teach and she was going back to school to possibly complete them. How can she get away with this? – The Rabbit Died \n Dear Rabbit:  \n Get away with it, are you kidding? Lying actually seems to have added to her liberal credibility as she is now the Democrat frontrunner by passing “Sleepy Joe” in the polls. You see, the more a liberal claims some type of victim status, the higher up the totem pole they rise. Ooh, did I really just say that? With that in mind, Warren couldn’t just tell the truth which is actually a pretty nice story about her switching careers and going to law school. No, she must show she was oppressed and marginalized on her path to Democrat greatness. She’ll forget to mention how she lied about being Native American to again act marginalized to advance her career. Thankfully if Warren is the Democrat nominee you can bet President Trump won’t forget “Pregnant Pocahontas.”\n DEAR MARK: \n Denial seems to be Hillary’s sword she continues to fall on concerning her election loss to President Trump. I’m tired of her but every time she’s in the news, it’s like watching a car wreck. Hillary now says she can beat President Trump again if she decided to run. I must have missed something but when did she beat him the first time? – Keeping Score in Nebraska \n Dear Keeping: \n If by winning more votes in California and New York she beat him, then okay I guess but that’s not how our process works. Her ego, although fragile, is large enough that she thinks she’s the Democrat party’s knight in a shiny pant suit.\n E-mail your questions to mark <a href=\"mailto:levy92@aol.com\">levy92@aol.com</a>.

Under the bylines of Rachael Bade and Mike Debonis there was an article posted under the headline of “Formal Impeachment Inquiry of Trump”. At about paragraph 17 the writers really messed up the usage of “tranche”.  In the article (actual quote): “In the House, a tranche of Democrats who opposed impeachment have been coming out in favor of impeachment over the past 48 hours.” \n I know many words, but I didn’t know the meaning of “tranche”. I Googled it and here’s what I found: \n Cambridge Dictionary: One of several parts of a financial arrangement, payment, amount, etc.: \n Next month, they will sell a further tranche of shares worth up to €500 million. \n Urban Dictionary: Noun 1. a share, a percentage, a portion, or a part of something (esp. money); assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group.  Noun 2. a large cavernous French vagina. \n Were they right? -  “Wondering Where I Can Get a Pink Hat in Wisconsin.\n Dear Wondering:  As a writer of dubious quality, I at least try to use words that are fairly common to mainstream vernacular. I’ve noticed that some writers tend to lean on their thesaurus in an attempt to seem more intelligent than they really are. Ironically the results can be hilarious as you pointed out. \n To answer your question, the writers were right on both uses of the word “tranche.” It’s obvious the impeachment feeding frenzy is popular among liberal Democrats. The lukewarm Democrats in red districts better get on board or they’ll lose their “tranche” of campaign contributions. As for the Urban Dictionary definition, we’ve all seen the pink hats the snowflakes have been wearing.\n DEAR MARK:  Oh My Gosh! Hillary just can’t seem to keep her yapper shut. She’s been making the rounds on all the talk shows promoting her new book that I’m sure is as lame as her presidential campaign. I guess it’s okay to promote a book but the part that gets me is her attacks on President Trump and her denial of the truth – she was an awful candidate. I know you get asked all the time but why won’t she go away? Even Barack Obama has enough class to remain fairly quiet concerning politics. – Pepto Pete \n Dear Pepto:  Hillary ain’t no Barack Obama which is why she lost to him in 2008 and subsequently lost to Donald Trump in 2016. Although annoying, I don’t mind liberal politicians who express sincere and accurate reflections of their experiences or those who want to analyze current events. But and that’s a big but, this isn’t what Hillary is doing. Part of her problem as a candidate was she wasn’t relatable to most voters because she acted like she was the smartest person in every room she graced. She also lied like a bad rug every time she held a microphone. \n Hillary came across with an arrogance that voters would believe everything coming out of her mouth without comparing her words with her actions. Of course we saw the media swoon to her mystic but thank goodness most voters saw through her charade. \n Speaking of arrogance, Hillary offered up the following advice when referring to the phony impeachment troubles facing President Trump. “Many in the Nixon administration concluded that the right thing to do was tell the truth. Tell the truth. That would be advice that should be given to anybody caught up in this.” \n Hillary actually said that with a straight face, or it could have been all the cosmetic procedures she’s had since her election loss.  As someone once said of the Clinton’s, they lie when the truth would do just fine.\n DEAR MARK:  This whole impeachment has got my drawers in a wad and I’m tired of all the lies and fake news surrounding this obvious Democrat set up.
