Sit-ins, Polls and Basketball
The Democrats staging their petulant sit-in on the House floor yesterday and this morning are not only attempting to do away with the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution, but 5th Amendment as well. Fake media reports notwithstanding, the sit-in is protesting Speaker Paul Ryan's insistence that any "gun control" bill brought up for a floor vote must protect Americans' rights to due process under the 5th Amendment.
This is kind of a big deal, or at least it is to anyone who is not a Democrat politician or progressive activist.
That's what this sit-in is about, nothing more or less. The national Democrat Party wants to take away your 5th Amendment rights, and your 2nd Amendment rights. Eliminating such rights was also among the first priorities of Adolph Hitler and his Nazi (National Socialist) Party when they assumed control in Germany.
This is not a coincidence, folks.

Thursday's Today Show led with a story that President Obama, upon leaving office, is looking at the potential for becoming the owner of an NBA franchise. Upon hearing that lead, my first thought was that I wonder if anyone at NBC might think to ask how it is that a person who has been nothing more than a "community organizer" and a professional politician for his entire adult life might have amassed a personal fortune sizeable enough to even entertain the thought of owning an NBA team, the least expensive of which would cost upwards of $1 billion?
Of course the answer to that is that if Barack Obama were a Republican, that would not only be the first question asked, but the entire focus of the story. But because Barack Obama is a Democrat, no one at NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times or the Washington Post would ever dream of posing such an inconvenient question related to this story.
Still, any thinking American ought to be asking how it is that a lifetime politician would have obtained the personal wealth necessary to even entertain this thought. I mean, President Obama doesn't even have a criminal enterprise like the Clinton Foundation to fall back on.
Where's all that money coming from? It's a good question that nobody in our fake news media would even dare to ask.

There must be real panic going on at the DNC this morning, after the release of Quinnipiac Senate race polls yesterday showing Marco Rubio leading by 7% in Florida, Mike Toomey leading by 9% in Pennsylvania, and the hotly contested Ohio race tied. The panic most likely is shared at the Clinton campaign as Quinnipiac has Crooked Hillary tied with Trump in Ohio and leading by only 1 in PA. Her lead in the RealClearPolitics polling average has held steady at just over 5% for more than a week now.
After the last three weeks, during which Trump made a series of unforced errors and the fake media sacrificed ratings and readership in a highly-coordinated effort to take him down, the Clinton camp had to have expected well ahead in these battleground states and nationally, and the DNC no doubt expected the pillorying of Trump would have down-ballot impacts in the senate races.
Not happening. One must wonder how much longer the networks and 24 hour news channels will be willing to continue sacrificing viewers to Fox News at the altar of the Clinton campaign? After mounting a similarly coordinated effort to take Trump down during the last two weeks of March, they all gave up the ghost because they were losing too much money.
I couldn't help noticing that the general media coverage of Trump's speech on Wednesday was far more even-handed than anyone had a right to expect. I'm betting the DNC and Clinton camp noticed that as well.
Trump has avoided any major unforced errors for two weeks now. If that continues, we should expect the national polls to even back up as we approach the GOP national convention in mid-July.
