With All Eyes On Alabama, Trump Gave Democrats Huge Middle Finger With What He Quietly Did. - Duration: 4:05.
With All Eyes On Alabama, Trump Gave Democrats Huge Middle Finger With What He Quietly Did.
Most of the country was focused on Alabama last night, and rightfully so, after perhaps
the ugliest campaign battle we've ever seen.
However, others were still hard at work while the rest of America paused – and President
Donald Trump just gave Democrats a huge middle finger with what he quietly did.
The left was recently responsible for some of the most disgusting, dirty, and vile tactics
we've ever seen during a campaign.
Sadly, they were successful as Democrat Doug Jones was able to pull off a narrow victory
over Republican Roy Moore.
Of course, we'll just have to wait and see how those sexual assault allegations against
Moore go now that the election is over.
In the opinion of many, now that the left no longer needs them, the accusers and their
claims will just fade away with nothing becoming of them whatsoever.
You know, kind of like what happened with Herman Cain.
Although most of the country paused to watch what was unfolding in Alabama, it seems that
wasn't the case for everyone.
In fact, President Donald Trump was still hard at work last night and was actually able
to give Democrats a huge middle finger with what he quietly did while most of us were
distracted.
According to The Hill, President Trump picked up an important judicial nominee via a narrow
Senate confirmation.
At the end of the day, Trump managed to slip another right-leaning judge into the federal
court system which can only help our country in the long run.
"By a count of 50-48, the Senate voted to confirm the nomination of Leonard Steven Grasz
as circuit judge for the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, despite the fact that the American
Bar Association (ABA) rated the judge as "not qualified" for the position.
Of course, if the ABA were a non-partisan, unbiased arbiter of mere legal qualifications,
one might be concerned.
However, since we're dealing with what Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse has called a "liberal
advocacy organization," their ratings of Trump's nominees mean a lot less."
"That's not a bad thing.
You can be a liberal advocacy organization," Senator Sasse said last month during a Judiciary
Committee hearing.
"You have First Amendment rights and you should use them.
What's not OK is being a liberal advocacy organization and be masquerading as a neutral
evaluator of these judicial candidates."
As always seems to be the case these days, Democrats are angry.
For one, they lost again.
However, they're actually telling the American people that they have the moral high ground
on this.
"A panel of nonpartisan, legal experts unanimously concluded that this man is not fit to be a
judge," said Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.).
"What else do my colleagues need to know?"
Schumer added that "more broadly, these attacks, in small but important ways, diminish
our democracy."
Too bad for him, he's wrong – and Trump knows that he's wrong and is about to make
sure it never happens again.
As it turns out, Trump's administration officially put the ABA on notice in March
that it will no longer be invited to review the president's judicial nominees.
In short, he's discredited the group by hinting at the fact that they too are "fake
news."
Democrats may be celebrating their win in Alabama today, but they're still losing
big time.
Alabama was the first real win they've had in a long time, and it really doesn't do
them much good, seeing how much they've lost recently.
Sure, they get another vote on the left, but they're still the minority, and the only
thing they can do is lie and use pathetic delay tactics.
The end is near for Democrats – and although they may be loud and boisterous, all we're
really hearing is the death rattles of a dying party.

Ceasing to Do. Ceasing Effort. - Duration: 5:56.
Today I want to talk about ceasing to do. It's probably more accurate to say
minimize effort or ceasing to efforting... basically. It's kind of...you know...it's the
realization that you can live in the world such that you don't have to use
two oars...rowing quite vigorously...going against the stream to try to get
somewhere. You can use one oar and fairly effortlessly steer downstream and use
the entire strength of the river to get where you're going; and so...you know...this
is a principle that I try to put in the forefront of when I'm talking to people
is we've been doing things forever... years. Different spiritual practices;
different attempts to do this, that, or the other thing; and really it's all this
doing is an obstacle...in and of itself. Even a lot of the basic spiritual
teachings we hear about are put in a rather egoic "doing" way. For example, you
hear let go. And then a lot of the nondual people will say, "well who's
gonna let go?" To a certain extent they are true..that you know, they're onto
something there when they say that, because it's like if you're holding on
to a bag of luggage...you know, in your hand. You know...it's in your hand
only so long as you're making the effort to hold on. As soon as you cease making
the effort, the bag falls away. Gravity pulls it away. The very nature is not
holding on...our very nature...our inherent nature is to not hold on. It is...it is we
that is holding on; and so, it's not so much a letting go,
which is another egoic way of putting it, but a ceasing to hold on.
Likewise you'll hear people say, well you know...we should allow. Allowing is kind of
an egoic way. You can egoicly try to allow; however, allowing is not what we're
doing. We're resisting. That's what we're doing; and so the trick is to cease
resisting. If we cease resisting, we automatically
allow. Some people say, well we need to accept. Well, accepting isn't the issue.
It's the fact that we're denying. That's where we're making the effort. We're
denying. If we cease denying, acceptance automatically occurs. And so, this is kind
of the principle...the same...similar principle to like silence or stillness.
You know, if the goal is to be still...how do you do it?
Well, whatever action you make; however, whatever movement you make...is actually
counter to stillness. If you're trying to get silence, whatever...if you keep talking
about it or making noise...you're destroying the silence. The way to get
stillness or silence is cease doing. If you cease making noise, there's silence.
If you cease moving, there's stillness. And so, I try to swap it around and that it's
not a trying to do. So, in a very same way, you'll hear it's not about becoming...it's
being. Well becoming is a doing. We're trying to do something. It's not about
becoming...it's about being...or at least realizing, you know, what is through...it's
the illusions of the mind and ignorance that are the obstacle. It's not trying to
become something. And so, this is kind of a change of direction and focus, because
so many people will ask me, "well, what should I do?" I keep telling them...don't
do anything. Doing is the problem. You've been doing for years...you've been
doing all these practices and inquiries and contemplations and everything else.
Try cease doing. Try to not do anything. If you need kind of a practice, you know,
just kind of...in awareness...watch for where you're making the effort and cease
making those efforts. And, it will naturally bring us back to a more
natural state, because...a lot of times you'll also hear Awakening is...you
know...living from or being or however you want to say...the natural state. Well,
what...how do you get to the natural state? By not trying to do something.
It's our doing that is the unnatural part; and so, we need to cease doing or
cease making the effort. Minimizing the effort...and allow stillness...silence...allow
awareness to perhaps see what-is as it is. And so, I think it's important to
realize or be aware of how much effort and doing and practice we're doing and
what we're...and trying to become...and look at all that and go its the wrong
direction. It hasn't gotten me to where I want to go...and truthfully, it never will....
because, if enlightenment could be said as seeing through the illusion...
illusory "I" or seeing through the "me" or maybe some people might say...overcoming
the ego...but it's more...seeing through the ego...
what can the ego do to see through itself? Absolutely nothing. Anything the ego
does only reinforces and strengthens the illusion of ego; and so, it's not about
doing. It's not about doing; and we do far too much. We need to pull back from the
doing and just try not doing. Which isn't really an effort. Not doing isn't an
effort...its ceasing to make the effort; and then what's left behind is stillness,
silence, and such. So I hope this helps. If you need any further explanation, put a
comment below and I'll see what I can do. Thank you!

President Trump to Sign Space Policy Directive Today at 3PM EST - Duration: 3:47.
President
Trump to Sign Space Policy Directive Today at 3PM (EST) � Watch Live
President Trump will sign Space Policy Directive 1 at 3:00 pm tomorrow at a White House ceremony.
The directive apparently will make a human return to the lunar surface part of U.S. space
policy. That will override the Obama Administration�s policy to eschew a return to the lunar surface
in favor of focusing on sending humans to Mars with an encounter with an asteroid as
an interim goal.
As of Sunday evening, it was not clear if the event would be covered in real time by
national news media or NASA TV.
The event is timed to coincide with the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 17 mission � the
last time humans walked on the surface of the Moon.
[Today], December 11, is the exact anniversary of the date that Apollo 17 commander Gene
Cernan and Lunar Module Pilot Harrison �Jack� Schmitt landed on the Moon while Command Module
Pilot Ron Evans orbited overhead. Cernan died earlier this year. Evans died in 1990. Schmitt
is still active in space policy and is expected to be at the White House ceremony [today].
Vice President Mike Pence chairs the National Space Council. At the first meeting of the
Council on October 5, he directed that a Decision Memorandum be prepared for the President to
amend U.S. National Space Policy to say: �We shall lead an innovative and sustainable program
of exploration with commercial and international partners to enable human expansion across
the solar system to bring new knowledge and opportunities. Beginning with missions beyond
low Earth orbit, the United States will lead to return humans to the Moon for long term
exploration followed by human missions to Mars and other destinations.�
It is that Decision Memorandum that apparently will be signed tomorow.
Along with Schmitt, other invited guests are rumored to be from Congress and space organizations
including the Commercial Spaceflight Federation, the Coalition for Deep Space Exploration,
and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
President Obama cancelled the George W. Bush Administration�s Constellation program to
return humans to the Moon by 2020 and then go on to Mars. In an April 15, 2010 speech
at Kennedy Space Center, he said there was no need to return to the Moon�s surface:
�We�ve been there before. � There�s a lot more of space to explore.� Instead,
he directed NASA to focus on sending humans to an asteroid as a steppingstone to Mars.
Over the years, that morphed into the controversial Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) that would
have used a robotic spacecraft to divert an asteroid into lunar orbit where it could be
studied by astronauts. ARM never won widespread support in Congress or the space community
and Trump�s proposal to terminate the program shortly after taking office was not challenged.

The Fix NICS Act of 2017! - The Legal Brief - Duration: 11:38.
Welcome back to The Legal Brief, the show where we CRUSH the various legal myths and
misinformation surrounding various areas of the gun world.
I'm your host Adam Kraut and today we're talking about the bill everyone is talking about,
and no I'm not talking about National Reciprocity, we already covered that,
the Fix NICS Act of 2017.
February will be here before you know it and that means the NRA Board of Directors ballot
will be arriving in your monthly magazine soon.
To learn more about my stance on the problems gun owners face, head on over to my website
adamkraut.com.
While you're there, don't forget to grab a petition to amend the bylaws.
The link is in the description.
Last week, we saw the House of Representatives pass the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of
2017 and the Fix NICS Act of 2017.
While the passage of national reciprocity is a HUGE deal, it seems people are more interested
in discussing the Fix NICS Act.
Why are people more interested in talking about that?
Representative Massie and several gun lobby organizations have been sounding the alarm
that Fix NICS is a trojan horse, which will result in more individuals losing their rights.
The question I have is are they right?
Before we dive into the details, how did we get here?
The Fix NICS act was combined with the language from the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act and
they were voted on as one bill.
Now that it is in the Senate, there are several things that can happen.
First, the Senate could pass the bill exactly as it was sent to them.
If that is the case, off to the President's desk it goes for his signature.
The Senate can also pass their own version of the bill, which would result in the two
bills going to conference.
When bills go to conference, members from both the House and the Senate revise the language
of the bills and come up with a final version.
Once they create a final version, the bill is sent back to both chambers, where it is
either voted up or down.
There are no further amendments that can be added to it at that point.
If both chambers vote to pass the bill, it goes to the President for signature.
If one chamber fails to adopt it, the bill dies and that's the end.
There is one other scenario of "ping pong" that is less likely to happen, so we won't
cover that today.
Now that we know what could happen with the bill, what exactly does Fix NICS say?
Section two deals with the accountability for federal departments and agencies.
It requires that on a semiannual basis, the head of the department or agency shall submit
a written certification indicating whether the department or agency is in compliance
with the record submission requirements.
For those wondering, the law already specifies and requires that record submissions are to
be done no less than on a quarterly basis.
And those records are ones that prohibit individuals from possessing firearms and ammunition.
The bill requires that within 1 year from the date of enactment, the head of the department
or agency, with the assistance of the Attorney General, must establish a plan to ensure maximum
coordination and automated reporting or making records available to the AG.
It also requires that the accuracy of those records be verified.
The bill also sets up benchmark requirements to measure the progress.
You may be asking yourself, well that's all well and good, but if the law already specifies
that departments and agencies have to report these records then why does this matter?
As we stand right now, there are no "penalties" for non compliance.
The bill seeks to address that by adding a section on accountability.
A novel concept for government agencies.
And remember guys, the whole point of this is to ensure the NICS system has a complete
set of records, so that prohibited persons do not slip through the cracks.
The bill would require the Attorney General to publish a semiannual report which discloses
the names of the departments or agencies that failed to comply with the certification requirements.
The report would also list the reasons the AG has determined the department or agency
is not in compliance.
So we have public shaming.
In reality, is that going to work?
Probably not.
However, the House has decided to hit people where it hurts, their wallet.
From 2019-2022, a political appointee of a department or agency that has failed to certify
compliance and is not in substantial compliance shall not be eligible for bonus pay until
the department or agency remedies the defect.
I don't know about you, but where I work, they are hesitant to pay me for not doing
my job, let alone bonuses.
So, in essence, we have a section that requires federal departments and agencies to report
records of individuals who would be prohibited under the Gun Control Act, require them to
certify that records are being reported and penalizing political appointees who manage
departments or agencies that aren't in compliance.
The next section reauthorizes the NICS Act Record Improvement Program.
The only thing that jumps out in this section is the establishment of a priority area for
a Domestic Abuse and Violence Prevention Initiative which would emphasize the need for grantees
to identify and upload all felony conviction and domestic violence records.
Again, adding to the records of individuals who would be prohibited under federal law.
Section four reauthorizes the National Criminal History Improvement Program.
Again, not much worthy of discussion in this section.
However, I did find it interesting that the language would amend the law to include the
integration of national, state and local criminal record systems to identify individuals who
have been convicted of a crime punishable for a term exceeding one year.
If you recall, the GCA prohibits individuals who are convicted of a crime punishable by
more than one year imprisonment from possessing firearms and ammunition.
Included in that definition are individuals convicted of state law misdemeanors punishable
by more than two years imprisonment.
In essence, this section again, ups the reporting requirements for agencies.
The bill also requires state and Indian tribal governments to establish a plan to ensure
maximum coordination and automated reporting or making records available to the Attorney
General.
This section carries similar requirements as it does for the federal departments and
agencies we discussed earlier.
However, unlike the "punishment" aspect for political appointees, the bill uses a carrot
and stick approach for states.
Comply with the requirements, and get preference for grants.
Fail to comply, and funding may become more difficult to obtain as other states and tribal
governments would have preference for the grants.
Lastly, the bill has a provision for the Bureau of Justice Statistics to prepare a written
report, within 6 months of the passage of the bill, to be presented to both the Judiciary
Committees of the House and Senate.
The report would specify the number of times a bump-fire stock has been used in the commission
of a crime.
I'll venture a guess that the number is staggeringly low.
So what exactly are Representative Massie and others raising the alarm about?
Well, for one, they all cite to the fact that Senators Feinstein and Schumer are sponsors
of the Senate's version of the bill.
Fair point.
Massie also points to the fact that there are 790 million dollars authorized in the
bill as incentives to introduce more names into the NICS database.
In other words, he believes that the reportings will increase and be subject to records the
sitting AG at the time believes belong in the database.
Now you may recall us previously covering the Social Security Administration and it's
proposed regulation for reporting individuals to the NICS system.
The SSA entered into rulemaking under the Obama administration and actually created
a regulation that would have required the reporting of individuals who were deemed mentally
defective to manage their financial affairs.
At the beginning of this year Congress repealed that regulation.
However, the Veterans Administration is and has been engaging in that same conduct, only
without having gone through the formal process of creating a regulation.
This is leaving a number of veterans unable to exercise their Second Amendment rights
and fails to provide them with due process.
Whether or not Fix NICS is implemented, this has been and continues to be a problem.
The question that arises, is whether Fix NICS will increase the number of individuals being
reported under similar conditions and accepted by a sitting Attorney General's interpretation
of the law.
There have also been discussions about simple things such as unpaid traffic tickets leading
to individuals being prohibited.
It is true that an unpaid traffic ticket can result in a bench warrant being issued for
your arrest.
The question then becomes, are you actually a fugitive from justice, which is a prohibiting
category.
It's hard to say.
The Gun Control Act defines the term to mean "any person who has fled from any State to
avoid prosecution for a crime or to avoid giving testimony in any criminal proceeding."
While it is unlikely that the majority of people flee from the state where the ticket
was issued to avoid prosecution, it is certainly possible that a person may be denied on the
basis of being a fugitive from justice.
In fact, it happens already.
The question remains, does the bill result in more individuals in that situation being
reported, or, are they already being reported anyway?
So what's the bottom line?
The bill offers incentives to agencies, departments and states to comply with the law.
At the federal level, if the agency or department is in compliance, the political appointee
running the show is eligible for bonus pay.
Failure to comply means the agency or department is placed on the naughty list and that political
appointee is not eligible for bonus money.
For the states, it is a similar approach.
In compliance, here is preferential treatment for more grant money.
Failure to comply?
You may be eligible for grant money, after we go through all the people who get preferential
treatment.
It's like getting picked last for dodgeball.
The concern remains, whether or not the records being reported are accurate.
There is a huge problem with an administrative agency adjudicating someone as a mental defective
and reporting them to NICS without giving them due process.
Then we have the traffic ticket scenario.
Those individuals may not actually be fugitives from justice by definition, but may be reported
anyway.
It is worth noting that NICS does have issues with false positives and one could extrapolate
that if more records are being fed into the system, it will exacerbate that problem.
As far as what others are saying, I've included links in the description so you can see what
the NRA, GOA, Representative Massie and others are saying about Fix NICS.
As with any system relying on a database, it is only as good as the information in it.
Given NICS has issues with false positives, I'm inclined to take issue with the Fix NICS
bill.
On a personal note, and this is what I told my Representative prior to the House voting
on the bill, I'd like to see National Reciprocity Fix NICS voted on as two separate bills.
