  Jim Webb Says That DC Insiders Are Working To "Personally Discredit" Trump And His Staff

Former Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) on Sunday said the Democratic Party has moved "very far to the left" over the past five or six years.

In an interview on NBC's "Meet The Press," Webb said the Democrats are looking at 2018 and they "don't have a message."

"When you can't have a Jefferson-Jackson dinner, which was a primary celebratory event of the Democratic Party for years, because Jefferson and Jackson were slaveholders," Webb, a candidate in the 2016 Democratic primary race, said.

"They were also great Americans in their day. Something different has happened to the Democratic Party."

Webb said the Democratic Party's message has "been shaped toward identity politics"

"And they've lost the key part of their base," he said.

MilSurp: A Full-Auto Garand? The Secret World War II-Era T20 Rifle.

 

During World War II, the Ordnance Department granted a number of developmental contracts for various types of weapons. These weapons were given a “T” (Test) prefix and were intended either to modify the existing M1 rifle to increase its utility or were an entirely different type of weapon that might prove to be an improvement over the Garand.

The Springfield Armory T20 and variants — a Glimpse at the Future

Early in World War II, it was seen that an M1 rifle capable of selective-fire (semi-automatic and fully automatic capability) could be a notable improvement over the standard semiautomatic-only rifle with a limited (eight-round) magazine capacity.

Ninth Circuit Court Now Demands It Be Protected From Itself…

9th-circuit-2

Oh, the winning… it’s often too funny. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is now independently, on its own impetus, requesting an internal vote on a full panel en banc hearing to review its own decision.

Additionally, the full ninth are asking the Trump administration to file an additional brief telling the court why the three member original appeals ruling authority was wrong.   In essence, the smart judges know what wasn’t considered, and are now looking for an out.

You just can’t make this stuff up.

How Obama is scheming to sabotage Trump’s presidency

When former President Barack Obama said he was “heartened” by anti-Trump protests, he was sending a message of approval to his troops. Troops? Yes, Obama has an army of agitators — numbering more than 30,000 — who will fight his Republican successor at every turn of his historic presidency. And Obama will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House.

In what’s shaping up to be a highly unusual post-presidency, Obama isn’t just staying behind in Washington. He’s working behind the scenes to set up what will effectively be a shadow government to not only protect his threatened legacy, but to sabotage the incoming administration and its popular “America First” agenda.

He’s doing it through a network of leftist nonprofits led by Organizing for Action.
