The Left’s Quarterback Sneak
By CS Bennett
In the pro-Trump camp the news is nothing short of miraculous. We have the lowest number of Americans unemployed in decades, especially in the Black community, offshore investment monies are returning to the United States, taxes are way low, the economy is strong as its has been in decades, and our standing, and influence, on the world stage is once again relevant, and being exerted. In addition, our military is being retooled, refurbished, repositioned, and it is locked and, yes, reloaded.

Finally, we have a president who sees it like it is and tells it like it is. His administration is going after illegal aliens, MS-13, abortion clinic, sanctuary cities, and lawless ‘deep state’ types. Our president has stood up to Iran, China, Russia, and North Korea. And he has chastised our close allies about their unsavory, and lopsided, trade practices. As it stands, the right is poised to ride to victory in the upcoming 2018 midterm elections. So, what is there to worry about?

I believe the left knows that they are not going to regain the House or the Senate this year. So, they are looking towards the 2020 presidential election as their salvation. Very quietly, the left is close to putting into law, the mechanism that would give them the advantage in every election. That mechanism is known as the National Popular Vote Initiative. If they are successful, they would render the Electoral College irrelevant, and for all time.

The wonderful republic we know and live in would be gone. We would become a true democracy, verses a representative republic, at that point in time, meaning the most populous cities would get to dictate to the rest of the country which direction we would go in. Sadly, what they are doing is completely legal. They are using what is known as an ‘interstate compact’ which is a binding agreement between the states that have signed onto whatever conditions that is in that compact.

Most of the states that, so far, have agreed to participate in this compact have unwittingly agreed to neuter the constitutional role of the Electoral College, which the founding fathers so wisely put into place. In essence, this agreement among several U.S. states, plus the District of Columbia, awards all their respective electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the popular vote nationwide. This compact agreement is cleverly designed to ensure that the candidate who wins the most popular votes nationwide is elected president. Again, this favors populous left-leaning states.

So far, twelve states have signed this compact, representing a total of 170 electoral votes. The authors of this nefarious scheme only need 98 more electoral votes to make this compact the law of the land. We cannot be asleep at the wheel while this goes largely unchallenged. And we cannot leave this to our elected federal officials to stop this. Many are unaware of it since this is being orchestrated at the state level. Besides, several republican governors and republican legislators have backed it. So, what can be done?

We need to stop this train dead in its tracks, and I am talking yesterday. We need to scream bloody murder to all of our elected officials, at the state and federal levels. All of those great things mentioned at the beginning of this piece will mean nothing if the Left gets their way in this matter. Once they regain power in Washington, they are not just going after President Donald Trump, and the Republican Party. They are going to go after the United States Constitution and our Bill of Rights… Now, do we really want them to sneak this one by us?

'Right to Try' bill heads to Trump's desk after House OK

Trump, Kushner get win as prison reform bill passes House in overwhelming vote

Democrats' 'blue wave' in doubt as generic ballot lead dries up
The House of Representatives passed a bill Tuesday that would allow those with deadly diseases to try experimental treatments and bypass the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The vote was seen as a victory for the Trump administration, which supports the plan.

The so-called Right to Try Act of 2017, which the Senate passed nine months ago, cleared the House in a party-line vote of 250-169.
President Donald Trump and his son-in-law scored a legislative victory Tuesday after the House overwhelmingly approved a prison reform bill that aims to help ex-convicts rebuild their lives after their release from prison.

The so-called First Step Act was authored by Reps. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and Doug Collins, R-Ga., who also worked closely with the White House -- particularly Jared Kushner, Trump’s senior adviser, who advocated for the reform after witnessing how his father, Charles Kushner, was treated in prison.
Back in January, Democrats confidently predicted a "blue wave" would wipe out Republican control of Congress in this year's midterms -- as polls showed a massive lead for the party in the so-called generic ballot. 
This forecast is looking less certain as that lead shrinks by the week, with one poll even showing Republicans on top.
