The political hypocrisy and disingenuousness just never ceases to amaze me. 

Establishment and liberal “swamp monster,” Congressman Elijah Cummings, was lauded as the “next coming” by fellow “swamp monsters,” democrats and republicans alike, at his state funeral, ala the previously deceased establishment Senator John McCain.

aelijah 5

Brooke Singman and Alex Pappas of Fox News reported that, “The late Elijah Cummings, the powerful and long-serving Baltimore congressman who rose to chair the House Oversight Committee, was honored at a dignitary-packed funeral Friday where eulogies praised his mastery of Congress and commitment to constituents — but also took a political turn with implicit swipes at the Trump administration.”

aelijah 6

So what we have here basically is the political equivalent of The Academy Awards.  In this case, political elites taking turns praising another political elite for being a political elite.

Truth be told…, none of these political elites have ever really accomplished anything for their constituents or our country.  The only thing they managed to do was get elected and then get re-elected, over and over again, with the exception of Hillary that is!

aelijah 1

aelijah 3

aelijah 10

Speaking of Hillary…, “Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton praised the Democratic lawmaker as a ‘great man, moral leader, and a friend,’ (that’s a lie, a lie and a lie) while comparing him to the Old Testament prophet of the same name.”

Oh, this oughta be good!

‘“Our Elijah, like the prophet, could call down fire from heaven,’ Clinton said. ‘But he also prayed and worked for healing.  He weathered storms and earthquakes but never lost his faith.’”

Ya…, she went there.  She compared Elijah Cummings to The Prophet Elijah from The Bible.

First of all…, Hillary Clinton needs to keep The Bible and everyone in it out of her corrupt and lying mouth.

Then she uses The Bible, which she really knows nothing about, to attack President Trump and the First Lady…, at a funeral!

‘“Like that Old Testament prophet, he stood against corrupt leadership of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel,’ Clinton said.”

I’m telling you…, these people, these democrats, have NO decency and NO decorum.

“The line drew loud applause from the chamber, as she later raised the question of what Americans can do to ‘make sure we kept our democracy intact.’”

In the case of these democrats…, “democracy” means “our swampy and socialistic control.”

“But in between the politically tinged lines were dedications to Cummings’ legacy.”

“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called him the ‘north star’ of Congress.”

She is obviously “directionally challenged,” along with her many other psychological conditions.

aelijah 8

‘“His integrity and character, his can-do spirit, made him a guiding light in the Congress,’ Clinton similarly said. ‘He pushed back against the abuse of power.  He was unwavering in his defense of our democracy, he had little tolerance for those who put party before country or partisanship before truth.’”

Wow.  This might be the biggest bunch of horse manure ever packed into three sentences.

‘“He lifted up the next generation of leaders, he even worked a few miracles,’ Clinton said. ‘And he kept reminding us life is no dress rehearsal. The American people want to live their lives without fear of their leaders and as leaders, we have a responsibility to keep the promises made when running for office to make the lives of Americans better.’”

Like I said earlier…, he really didn’t do anything besides manage to get re-elected, over and over again…, while playing his role as a liberal puppet for his liberal, white masters.

aelijah 2

I’m sorry, but it was, and is, what it was and is.

‘“He worked until his last breath because he believed our democracy was the highest and best expression of our collective humanity,’ his wife, Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, said last week.”

aelijah 7

Ms. Rockeymoore Cummings is now the heir apparent to her ex-husbands’ congressional seat, representing Baltimore, Maryland.  The fine people of Baltimore can then expect the same level of ineptitude from her as they had come to expect from their former representative.

“In the House, Cummings, D-Md., had built a substantial power base [and a substantial bank account on his $170K a year salary]. At the time of his death, he was chairman of the Oversight Committee and a leading voice in the Congressional Black Caucus.  He played a key role in the impeachment inquiry into Trump.”

Yes…, he took his marching orders well from his establishment masters, in his persecution of President Trump, even though President Trump has done more for the African-American community than any prior president, with the exception of Abraham Lincoln.

It was reported that he was still signing subpoenas from his hospital bed, “fighting for our democracy” with his last breaths.

Yes…, such a “noble” tool he was.

If you don’t want me to speak ill of the dead, then don’t use the dead’s funeral as a platform to speak ill of my president and his wife.

“President Trump is NOT a racist.” – Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

In light of all of the garbage liberal propaganda flying around out there, characterizing President Trump as a racist and even as a white supremacist, Dr. Alveda King has come to the defense President Trump.

Jason Lemon, for NEWSWEEK, reported that “Dr. Alveda King, the niece of iconic Civil Rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., told Fox News on Tuesday that claims by Democrats, pundits and activists that President Donald Trump is a racist are inaccurate.”

alveda 8

alveda 9

alveda 6

“During a Tuesday morning segment of Fox & Friends, King appeared for an interview with the morning show’s co-host Steve Doocy to discuss a meeting she and other African American pastors had with Trump at the White House and to comment on The President’s recent attacks on Democrat Representative Elijah Cummings and his city, Baltimore. After Doocy played a clip of politicians and analysts criticizing The President and arguing that he is racist, [Dr.] King disagreed strongly.”

‘“All of that news is absolutely fake,’ [Dr. Alveda] King, who formerly served as a representative in Georgia’s State House, insisted.  She told Doocy that The President told her and the others in their meeting this week that ‘he cares about all Americans.’”

alveda 5

What does Dr. King have to gain by defending The President?

Why would she say these things if she didn’t believe they were true?

‘“You know, we all believe the same. That’s something the president has said, one race, one human race,’ Dr. King said. ‘He’s not a racist, absolutely is not,’ she continued, ‘and the programs that he has moved forward, the higher job market is helping African Americans. The criminal justice reform, helping African Americans.’”

alveda 4

“Trump on Saturday lashed out at Cummings, who represents Maryland’s 7th District which includes more than half of Baltimore, arguing that the representative’s city is a place where ‘No human being would want to live.’”

‘“Cumming’s district is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place,’ The President wrote.”

“Many Democratic lawmakers and commentators quickly defended Cummings and Baltimore, arguing that the president’s remarks were yet another racist attack on a black American leader and an area with a largely minority population. But King disagreed with that assessment, arguing that the president was pointing to real problems.”

Here we go again.

alveda 7

What about all of the people suffering and living in squalor in Baltimore?  Who quickly defends them?

Anytime you dare to criticize and African American leader and/or politician you’re a racist.

Are these people that weak and insecure that they can’t defend their performance and their policies before playing “the race card?”

alveda 2

alveda 10

Is anything they do or say beyond reproach?

So are these “Democratic lawmakers and commentators” who “quickly defended [Congressman] Cummings” saying that Cumming’s district isn’t “a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess?”  Are they saying his district isn’t a “dangerous and filthy place?”

No…, of course not.  There is no defense for Congressman Cummings, so they just whip out their “race cards” to absolve him of all responsibility and accountability.

‘“You look at his [Cummings’] community and you see individuals suffering, you see the community suffering and families suffering,’ she said.”

“The conservative Coalition of African American Pastors, which King is a part of, met with Trump on Monday and defended the president against claims that he’s a racist. Although critics suggested the meeting was just cover for the president, King told Doocy that was not the case and that the meeting had been planned before his criticism of Cummings.”

alveda 1

“Bill Owens, the president of the coalition, praised Trump after the meeting, pointing to ‘the things he’s done for the black community, positive things for the black community.’”

The truth is, these democrat politicians really aren’t worried about helping anyone but themselves…, period.

When will “Black” politicians stop hiding behind the color of their skin?

Over the weekend, President Trump tweeted out some criticisms of Rep. Elijah Cummings, who happens to be part African-American and a democrat from Maryland, who represents a district in Baltimore.

These tweets were a response to Cummings’ comments which were critical of the conditions at border processing centers. Cummings last week had questioned crowded border conditions and criticized the lack of basic humanitarian needs such as sanitation being met.

cummings 1

“Cummings sarcastically asked Kevin McAleenan, the acting head of Homeland Security, ‘You feel like you’re doing a great job, right?’ according to Sommer Brokaw and Allen Cone of UPI.  ‘What does that mean when a child is sitting in their own feces, can’t take a shower, come on man, what’s that about?  None of us would have our children in that position.  They are human beings.’”

cummings 3

What a pompous ass.  What a disingenuous, pompous ass.

Oh, oh…, I guess that makes me a racist…, because you can’t question the integrity of an African-American politician you know…, unless they happen to be conservative that is!

cummings 9

You say “None of us would have our children in that position.”  Have you taken a look around your district in the last twenty years Congressman Cummings?

cummings 13

Many children in your district live in conditions much worse that the conditions you dreamed up, regarding our border processing centers, Mr. Cummings.

Why haven’t these children, these U.S. citizens, which you represent in your district, gotten the same level of your concern as have these illegal immigrants halfway across the country?

‘“I want to concentrate on these children and I want to make sure that they are okay,’ he continued. ‘I said it before, and I’ll say it again. It’s not the deed that you do to a child. It’s the memory.’”

Oh…, such eloquent words, Mr. Cummings.  You’re such a gifted orator!  Which one of your staffers fed you that line of crap?

“He added that the Trump administration was responsible for separating thousands of migrant children, some as young as 2, from their parents.”

‘“It is the Trump administration’s own policies that are causing these problems,’ he said. ‘They all increased the number of people being held and unnecessarily detained … The damage the Trump administration has inflicted and is continuing to inflict will affect these children for the rest of their lives.’”

cummings 6

No, it’s not the Trump Administration’s own policies, Mr. Cummings.  The Trump Administration is just following the laws established by you and your friend in Congress, Mr. Cummings.

If you and your friends in Congress had done its job anytime over the last twenty years or so, these situations at our southern border would not even be an issue now.

‘“I’m talking about human beings,’ Cummings said. ‘I’m not talking about people that come from, as The President said, shitholes. These are human beings. Human beings just trying to live a better life.’”

Oh, so none of these people come from your district in Baltimore, Mr. Cummings?

Sorry, but it was just too hard to let that one slip by!

People in your district aren’t “human beings?”

People in your district aren’t “trying to live a better life?”

And it was Senator Bernie Sanders who described your district as being akin to a “third world country.”

According to David Montanaro of Fox News, “[President] Trump was heavily criticized over the weekend after he branded Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., a “brutal bully” for his treatment of Border Patrol officials at committee hearings — and described Cummings’ district as “far worse and more dangerous” than the southern border.’”

cummings 15

“Radio host Rush Limbaugh said, “President Trump is speaking the absolute truth about problems in the city of Baltimore under Democrat-led administrations.’”

‘“What he’s saying here is the absolute truth, but it’s not supposed to be said about any place where the Democrats are in charge,’ he said Monday on Fox & Friends.’”

‘“Cumming[s’] District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place,’ Trump tweeted, before calling for an investigation into why Baltimore received so much federal funding.”

cummings 7

Ya…, let’s open up an investigation checking into what has happened to all of those hundreds of millions of dollars earmarked for Elijah Cummings’ district in Baltimore!

From what I’ve seen, Mr. Cummings seems to be a big fan of investigations!

“Limbaugh added, ‘It’s about time somebody pushed back against the human misery caused by Democrat leadership.’”

“Cummings, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, responded Sunday by declaring he has ‘no doubt that Trump is racist.’”

cummings 5

Really, Mr. Cummings?

Why can you be critical of him, and that’s not racist, but as soon he’s critical of you that’s considered racist?

Just sayin’.

This seems to be a typical case of someone being able to “dish it out,” but not being able to take it himself.

Remember…, you started this Mr. Cummings.

cummings 11

“Limbaugh continued by adding, ‘The Democrats get to claim they are compassionate and that they care, but they never do anything that actually improves the quality of the lives of their constituents. Their constituents are as unhappy today as they were 50 years ago.’”

The “biased, liberal propaganda, fake news media” is of course co-conspirators in this “racist” charade which has been perpetrated on the American people.

cummings 12

Hopefully our African-American friends will increasingly wake up to this fact and run these frauds right out of town and right out of Congress!

Congressman Elijah Cummings gets caught providing a little “quid pro quo,” Hillary Clinton style!

Ahhh…, Mr. Elijah “holier than thou” Cummings!

Mr. Elijah “I’m above reproach” Cummings!

Mr. Elijah “I’m beyond question” Cummings!

Mr. Elijah…, okay…, I think you get the idea.

According to Adam Shaw for Fox News, “House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings’ wife reportedly paid her for-profit organization with money from her separate charity as part of a cost-sharing arrangement, a revelation that is adding to mounting ethical questions surrounding her financial dealings.”

elijah 5

“The Daily Caller obtained documents showing that Maya Rockeymoore Cummings’ charity, the Center for Global Policy Solutions (CGPS), paid over $250,000 between 2013 and 2015 to her similarly named for-profit organization, Global Policy Solutions LLC (GPS).”

There is a related article by Brooke Singman, of Fox News, which is titled, “Cummings fights ‘baseless’ allegations against wife’s non-profit agency.”

Have we EVER seen a title like that on an article about President Trump?

A title that would go like, “President Trump fights ‘baseless’ allegations against himself and his family?”

No.

President Trump does not enjoy the same presumption of innocence like Representative Cummings or his wife it seems.

How stupid of me!  Of course, President Trump is a republican and Cummings is a democrat.  What was I thinking?

elijah 4

President Trump represents and fights for the American people, while Cummings and his wife are card carrying members of “the swamp!”

Cummings and his wife also enjoy the protection of the “biased, liberal propaganda, fake news media.”  Although being black, their level of protection is not quite as comprehensive as, let’s say, a Nancy Pelosi or a Jerrold Nadler.

“The documents outline a cost-sharing agreement by which the center shares ‘equipment, facilities, personnel costs and sundry other services.’ But the center also pays GPS 5 percent of the center’s expenses for ‘managing its programs and operations.’”

‘“The Caller’ calculated those management fees to be over $250,000.”

“Conservative watchdog The National Legal and Policy Center (NPLC) said that the latest report points to ‘self-dealing.’”

‘“It’s taking the charity’s resources and turning them into personal profits,’ National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) investigator Tom Anderson told the Caller. ‘IRS law doesn’t allow a charity for this purpose. This isn’t for the public interest, this is for her personal interest. You can’t do that.’”

Other nonprofit experts warned that the 5 percent fee was a red flag, particularly considering Rep. Cummings’ regulatory authority over business interests that fund the CGPS.

“That connection could be made,” Charity Watch President Daniel Borochoff told the Caller. “All the more reason to get rid of that 5 percent arrangement.”

This isn’t the first set of questions to be raised about the relationship between Cummings’ organizations. The NPLC alleged in a filing to the IRS last month that GPS and CGPS overlapped to derive “illegal private benefit.”

“According to The Washington Examiner, which first reported on that complaint, the nonprofit CGPS received over $6.2 million in grants between 2013 and 2016. The report claims the nonprofit’s financial backers included Google, J.P. Morgan and Prudential, all of which had business interests before the House Oversight Committee, chaired by Cummings, and could pose a conflict of interest.”

Ya’ don’t say?

The very companies that have issues pending before the House Oversight Committee, which just so happens to be chaired by Elijah Cummings, are the same companies who made generous donations to his wife’s “nonprofit” organization.

Wow!  What a coincidence!

It couldn’t be anything but just sheer coincidence could it?

elijah 8

And, of course…, in a statement to Fox News, Congressman Cummings blasted the report as “baseless” and “partisan.”

‘“These baseless claims come from a group funded by right-wing mega-donors known for their political hit jobs,’ Cummings said. ‘I am confident that they will be exposed for what they really are, a fabricated distraction from the important work being done on behalf of Americans, such as lowering the skyrocketing prices of prescription drugs.’”

elijah 1

Ahhh…, so it’s a “hit job” by the ever present “right-wing mega-donors.”  Do you mean someone like George Soros, only on the conservative side as opposed to the socialist/liberal side?

I noticed that Mr. Elijah Cummings didn’t deny the claims…, he just attacks the claimers.

I’m not confident, but I am hoping that Cummings and his wife are exposed for what they are…, cheaters and liberals who feel they are above the law.

Rockeymoore Cummings, in a statement to The Washington Post last month, blasted both the Examiner report and the complaint as a “hit piece.”

“It appears a conservative front group and a news outlet . . . are pushing a hit piece filled with faulty research, lies and innuendo in an attempt to tarnish my personal reputation, professional work and public service as well as that of my spouse,” Rockeymoore Cummings said in a statement to the Post, calling the effort a “distasteful attempt to intimidate my family into silence at such a pivotal moment in our nation’s history.”

Oooooh…, ahhhhh…, “a pivotal moment in our nation’s history!”

What is she talking about?

And you don’t have any personal reputation worth tarnishing by the way, Mrs. Maya Rockeymoore Cummings.

elijah 7

Let’s tell it like it is…, you’re just political climber who glommed onto a well-known politician who is old enough to be your father.

Bam!  That’s it.

And now…, on top of that, you’re not smart enough to keep your sugar daddy, or yourself, out of hot water.

Don’t worry…, I’m sure it’ll turn out okay for you.

Just use the Hillary Clinton defense…, play stupid, and deny, deny, deny.

In your case, playing stupid won’t be that much of a stretch.

elijah 3

Fox News’ Brooke Singman also contributed to this report.

Was Michael Cohen testifying before Congress today or just putting on a show scripted by the democrats?

The answer to that question is both.

Which really makes this whole thing an absolute sham, just like the rest of the Mueller investigation.

During questioning, President Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, admitted that he had worked with democrat congressmen Adam Schiff of California and Elijah Cummings of Maryland in preparation for the hearings.

schiff and cummings 2

Wait…, what?!

Is that even legal?

I know it’s unethical!

The double standard allowed here by the “biased, liberal, fake news media” is just incredible.

I guess the democrats just wanted to make sure they got the biggest bang for their buck out of Mr. Cohen.

It is well known that Mr. Schiff and Mr. Cummings are Trump haters through and through, as well as being politicians that wouldn’t know the truth if they tripped over it.

Even though Cohen regurgitated his liberal directed lines well, he obviously has learned his lesson regarding lying under oath.

“Questions have been raised about whether I know of direct evidence that Mr. Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia,” Cohen testified.  “I do not. I want to be clear. But, I have my suspicions.”

Well, you go on and have all of the suspicions you want Mike.  All of your suspicions and a buck will get you a cup of coffee.

penalty

According to Brooke Singman of Fox News, “Cohen hearing opens with fireworks as Republicans move to postpone testimony.”

“After former Trump attorney Michael Cohen is sworn in before the House Oversight and Reform Committee, Rep. Mark Meadows moved to postpone the hearing because written testimony, evidence was not received 24 hours in advance.”

“House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., led the bid to delay Cohen’s testimony, saying President Trump’s former lawyer and his legal team ignored rules calling for documents and records to be available at least 24 hours in advance.”

“Cohen’s testimony was turned over the night before the hearing, while documents were made available the morning of the hearing.”

“Committee rules require witnesses to provide their testimony to Congress 24 hours in advance of a hearing. We know that rule was intentionally violated, as an adviser of Mr. Cohen’s felt the need to go on CNN last night and explicitly state his suggestion that Mr. Cohen ‘hold his statement’ as long as possible ‘so the other side can’t chew it up,’” Meadows said. ‘Lo and behold, we didn’t get Mr. Cohen’s statement till 11:00 p.m. last night and didn’t receive any of the ‘evidence’ until this morning.’”

“He added, ‘Today’s hearing is in explicit violation of the rules. It should be postponed immediately.’”

“Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, also argued that the evidence and exhibits were not given to the minority staff at a reasonable time.”

‘“CNN had it before we did.  They had the exhibits before we did,’ Jordan said, later adding that ‘this is the first time a convicted perjurer has been brought back to be a star witness in a hearing.’”

“After a recorded vote, the motion failed, and the hearing proceeded.”

Are the democrats just incapable of following any types of rules whatsoever?

It sure appears that way.

While at the same time the republicans are always held to the strictest letter of the law.

The behavior of the “biased, liberal, fake news media” is just so blatantly unfair.  They are unabashed co-conspirators in the liberal narrative.

“Cohen went on to testify that Trump is a ‘racist, a con man, and a cheat.’”

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

Cohen also testified that, “Trump did not directly tell me to lie.”

You just figured that out on your own, huh?

Cohen also admitted to recording some of his conversations with Donald Trump, when Trump was his client, without Trump’s knowledge.

With friends, and lawyers, like that, who needs enemies?!

“Cohen also is testifying that Trump knew that adviser Roger Stone was reaching out to WikiLeaks concerning the publication of stolen Democratic National Committee emails but apparently will not claim Trump directed those communications.”

So what exactly is he saying here?  I don’t get it.  So what?

“In August, Cohen pleaded guilty to five counts of tax evasion, one count of making false statements to a financial institution, one count of willfully causing an unlawful corporate contribution, and one count of making an excessive campaign contribution.”

Congratulations Mr. Mueller.  None of this has anything to do with “Russian collusion,” nor does it implicate President Trump in anything or in any way.

WINNING!
