Following up this blog’s previous Brexit-related post, tone-deaf Theresa May appears to be indeed flip-flopping, setting the stage for the Labor and Conservative globalists in parliament, as well as some backpedaling pro-Brexit Tories, to thwart a clean Brexit, thus selling out the British people. Â The aptly named May seems intent on giving up her biggest bargaining chip with the EU, that being a no-deal Brexit, which would trigger World Trade Organization rules.

Under British law, the U.K. is scheduled to officially leave (or exit) the European Union on March 29. Because of opposition to her Brexit withdrawal agreement on both sides of the aisle for different reasons, there are rumblings that Prime Minister Theresa May may seek to extend the two-year, Article 50 deadline. This is occurring despite May’s Conservative Party promising to implement Brexit on schedule. Against this backdrop, seven pro-EU Labor Party members of parliament bolted the party to form The Independent Group [TIG] because Labor has gone hard-left under its leader Jeremy Corbyn and harbors anti-Semites. It’s difficult see how they define themselves as centrists, though, in that they want to keep the U.K. under the thumb of EU bureaucrats. They were later joined by three Conservatives who similarly oppose leaving the EU with no deal. Two additional Labor MP subsequently quit the party in protest over rampant anti-Semitism, Both declined to join TIG, one because he is pro-Brexit.
One of the most disturbing outcomes of the Trump era is exemplified by those establishment conservatives/GOP officials who have gone left merely to collect a paycheck from MSNBC or CNN. These self-important nobodies, displaying their real or feigned Trump Derangement Syndrome, put the “con” in conservative. They oppose Trump even when the president is implementing many of the policies that they supposedly supported over their careers in politics, media, and/or think tanks.
U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris already has committed two pandering faux pas on the campaign trail and we’re barely into 2019. The ultra-liberal California Democrat and 2020 presidential contender looked shocked when asked about her tweet claiming that the Jussie Smollett MAGA attack (which now appears to be a hoax) was a modern-day lynching. And a family member also rebuked Harris for engaging in identity politics in connection with her new-found support of marijuana legalization.
Fired Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe essentially confirms in a book that he’s hawking how Deep State, Obama- and Clinton-supporting federal bureaucrats plotted to remove a duly elected U.S. president from office. With all the hysteria about Russia from the Deep State, the media-Democrat complex, and the GOP establishment Never Trumpers (who put the “con” in conservative), the only established collusion appears to be among those anti-Trump entities. Distinguished historian Victor Davis Hanson writes that the “palace coup” failed, but it harmed America by undermining two years of the Trump presidency (“as a result, Trump’s stellar economic and foreign policy record would never earn fifty percent of public support”) and concealed the coordinated “felonious behavior” of current and former federal bureaucrats. Hanson detailed in an compelling essay posted at the American Greatness website what he considers the most far-reaching scandal in American political history.
The mainstream media, otherwise functioning as the opposition party hand in hand with the Democrats, condemns conspiracy theories, unless “journalists” themselves are pushing a conspiracy theory, such as collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. It turns out that the Deep State, i.e., the term describing know-better, Obama and Clinton-supporting entrenched federal bureaucrats who sought (and seek) to undermine the Trump administration, is real. It appears to have been confirmed by ex-FBI official Andrew McCabe in a 60 Minutes interview.
U.S. Senator Cory Booker, who compared himself to Spartacus during a particularly cringeworthy moment in the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, thinks the world would be better off going vegan. The New Jersey Democrat says that his own vegetarian to vegan journey started in 1992 when a vegetarian diet gave him more energy, and he subsequently concluded that eggs “didn’t align with [his] spirit.” In the interview with VegNews, the 2020 presidential candidate insisted he would never dictate what Americans can eat or not eat. Liberals seldom try to restrict individual freedom, right?
#Blexit founder Candace Owens is a magnificent spokesperson for the pro-Trump, populist movement. Unfortunately, she went down the same senseless path as Ben Shapiro recently did by making a wholly unnecessary mention of the H word. By now, everyone should realize that liberal blue-check Twitter is going to immediately pounce on any high-profile conservative’s use of the H word, as Lou Dobbs alluded to in the clip below. As this blog previously pointed out with Shapiro, it doesn’t matter if the fake news media takes the use of the H word out of context. That’s what the fake news media does, as do the social justice warriors on anti-social media.
On fake news CNN this morning, a talking-points-spouting Democrat Congresswoman tried to blame President Trump for a 1980s vintage racist yearbook page under the name of now Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, a fellow Democrat. Bernie Sanders-supporting far-left activist Nina Tuner, another panelist sitting with Jake Tapper on the State of the Union set, who nonetheless thinks Trump is a racist, wasn’t buying it, however.
Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, who probably thought he might become governor of the state given the ongoing turmoil there, has admitted to wearing blackface as a younger man. This revelation means the state’s three top elected officials, all Democrats, are now engulfed in scandal.
