Desantis - Recuse Rosenstein -
Some statutes of Limitations Run on liar-Clinton
{ rickwells.us } ~ In the effort to extricate himself from the fiasco of his own creation that never quite panned out like he and the other coup perpetrators had hoped it would... Robert Mueller has proclaimed that President Trump is no longer a target of his phony investigation, but now is a subject. Since Mueller’s playing games in every other aspect of his witch hunt, including word games is some rare consistency on his part. Rep Ron DeSantis says, “We’ve known that from the start, if you took the facts seriously, I mean, the President fires Jim Comey, on the basis of Rod Rosenstein writing a memo saying Comey should be fired, Comey leaks memos, including classified material, and then Rosenstein appoints a special counsel.”... https://rickwells.us/recuse-rosenstein-statutes-clinton-2/.
The Obstruction Continues: What Are Christopher Wray
& Rod Rosenstein Trying To Hide?
by ELIZABETH VAUGHN
{ freedomoutpost.com } ~ Why won’t FBI Director Christopher Wray and DOJ Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein hand over a clean copy of the July 2016 FBI Electronic Communication (EC)... that opened the investigation into the Trump campaign? As a puffed-up Robert Mueller smugly offers dates when he may or may not wrap up his investigation into possible Trump-Russia collusion, repeated requests by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) to obtain an unredacted copy of the document are blocked. Robert Mueller is simply reveling in his own self-importance. He acts as though he is the most powerful man in the country these days. And he just may be. He is the puppet master who holds all the strings. When will he reveal to the nation his investigation’s findings on obstruction charges for President Trump? When will his investigation end? I suppose it will end when Mueller believes it will cause maximum damage to the Republicans in the upcoming mid-term elections. Nunes, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee requested a copy of the memo in February and received a heavily redacted copy on March 14th. The memo was too redacted to yield any pertinent information. On Wednesday, a new letter was sent to Wray and Rosenstein demanding a clean copy... https://freedomoutpost.com/obstruction-continues-christopher-wray-rod-rosenstein-trying-hide/

Judge To Tennessee: You’ll Take Refugees
Whether You Want To Or Not
by James Simpson
{ thefederalist.com } ~ Last March, the Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) initiated a lawsuit against the federal government on behalf of the Tennessee legislature... charging the refugee resettlement program imposes unconstitutional unfunded mandates, requiring states to pay for resettlement whether they participate in the federal program or not. For a year, the sides engaged in legal maneuvers while the judge dawdled. This March, despite multiple Supreme Court rulings that the federal government cannot compel states to pay for unfunded federal mandates, the judge dismissed the case. He claimed the state of Tennessee, while fully responsible for financing the state’s share of resettlement program costs, did not have standing to bring the suit. Many aspects of the refugee resettlement program force states and local governments to continue to accept refugees even if they choose not to participate in the program, and pay for a laundry list of services to those refugees once resettled. The lawsuit focused specifically on the requirement for the state to pay exorbitant Medicaid costs or risk losing up to $7 billion in federal Medicaid reimbursements, an amount equal to 20 percent of the entire state budget...This is totally wrong in regards to US citizens. http://thefederalist.com/2018/04/02/judge-tennessee-youll-take-refugees-whether-want-not/.
The IAEA’s Right and Obligation
to Inspect Military Facilities in Iran
by Olli Heinonen
{ defenddemocracy.org } ~ In order for the nuclear deal with Iran to ensure the “exclusively peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program,”... the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) must be able to inspect all necessary locations either in the territory of Iran or under its control elsewhere, including all military sites. Since Iran’s military industry has played a well-documented and important role in developing the country’s nuclear capabilities, the absence of inspections at military sites would prevent the effective monitoring of the deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The IAEA’s authority to inspect military sites derives from Iran’s legally binding Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement (CSA) as well as the Additional Protocol (AP) to the CSA, which Iran committed to apply as part of the JCPOA. Like all other countries subject to CSA safeguards under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, Iran cannot declare any site to be a sanctuary off-limits to IAEA inspectors. The text of the CSA clearly establishes the scope of IAEA inspections. According to paragraph two, the Agency has the “right and obligation to ensure that safeguards will be applied” to ensure that nuclear material “is not diverted to nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices.” During the early 1990s, the IAEA board of governors and general conference made a series of decisions affirming that the Agency has the right and obligation to verify the non-diversion of both declared and undeclared nuclear material. These decisions specified that verifying the non-diversion of undeclared material required access to military sites...Iran has not apply by these ruling and not allow IAEA to inspect. .
Pulosi: If We Win, We're Going to Turn Back the Clock By Repealing
the New Law and Massively Increasing Taxes
by Guy Benson
{ townhall.com } ~ The moderator of the event asked Pulosi if Democrats would re-write the tax bill from scratch or focus on reversing specific elements... “One of our complaints about what they did with the tax bill is they did it in the dark of night with the speed of light,” Pulosi said...“We’ll sit down at the table and say … what would be a tax bill that creates growth, that creates good paying jobs as it reduces the deficit?” Pulosi said. “It’s not about chipping at this piece or that piece, it’s about a comprehensive look at what our tax policy should be for the future.” Uprooting the entire tax law would inflict massive tax increases on nearly every American family. Approximately nine-in-ten taxpayers are experiencing a reduction in their tax burden thanks to the new policy, on which every last Democrat in Congress voted 'no.' Republicans' parallel programs of de-regulation and tax relief have helped fuel and sustain a sizzling US economy, the positive effects of which are simply undeniable. Voters, who are quite wary of President Trump overall, recognize this, and have rewarded him with much stronger marks on taxes and the economy than on other fronts. Public support for tax reform has flipped from badly upside-down to right-side-up, as Democratic myths and demagoguery have been disproven in real time by people's lived reality -- even as people like Pulosi sneer at the progress. Talking about undoing tax reform means that Democrats are willing to hammer families, individuals and small businesses with tax increases, including the overwhelming majority of middle income households... We must stop the left and dems from winning..

Who Killed MLK's Dream? 
by Mark Alexander: On this day 50 years ago, April 4, 1968, 39-year-old Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered in Memphis, Tennessee, by a racist sociopath from Alton, Illinois, named James Earl Ray.
The night before his death, King preached at the Mason Temple, headquarters of the Church of God in Christ. Having been warned of threats against him, he prophetically declared:
“I don’t know what will happen now. We’ve got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn’t matter with me now. Because I’ve been to the mountaintop. And I don’t mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned about that now. I just want to do God’s will. And He’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. So I’m happy, tonight. I’m not worried about anything. I’m not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.”
Dr. Gary S. Smith, emeritus chairman of Grove City College’s history department, observed that King’s “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” sermon “ranks with John Winthrop’s ‘A Model of Christian Charity’ and Jonathan Edwards’ ‘Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God’ as among America’s most famous.”
King’s pastoral influence in that era was rivaled only by his friend Billy Graham.
That fateful day in 1968 was a Thursday, and King was killed around 6:00 in the evening. On Friday, Dr. King’s wife, Coretta Scott King, and three of her children, joined by faith leaders and thousands of citizens, marched in Memphis to support King’s work.
I was an 11-year-old kid in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and I recall that at noon on that Friday, Chattanooga’s mayor called for a memorial service at a noted local venue, led by black and white community leaders and attended by 1,500 citizens. There was a dusk-to-dawn curfew enacted several days after King’s assassination, because a few hundred black high school students congregated to express their frustration. I recall the distinct quiet during those curfew nights — unlike many other large cities, there was no violence and the curfew was lifted.
Riots elsewhere were an affront to King’s insistence on nonviolent protest, and they resulted in 40 deaths and significant property damage. More than 100,000 soldiers and guardsmen were called up to support police and firefighters.
In 1968, I had no real sense of abject racism or school segregation. There was only one elementary school in our suburban community, and we had black classmates from kindergarten forward. There were degrees of inequality, but little overt racial tension in our town, which MLK had referenced in his famous 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech in Washington: “Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.” (He had never been to our small town but had visited Chattanooga in 1960.)
In fact, though there were plenty of racist haters, both white and black, in the South, I would not fully experience ethnic division and racial hatred firsthand until the mid-1970s as a high-school student in Connecticut. On a few occasions while defending black friends, we rumbled with racist “greasers” (the North’s version of “rednecks”) in pool halls and bowling alleys. But it was my many weekend trips to Boston and New York where I first experienced widespread systemic hatred.
Everybody hated everybody. The Italians hated the blacks hated the Irish hated the Jews hated … ad nauseam. Here, there was overt ethnic and racial division the likes of which I had never experienced in the South. Though the most noted racial tensions in the ‘60s had been in the “Deep South,” which has since been stereotyped, I found out that ignorance and hatred were not geographically specific.
It was only when I returned to the South, after graduating from a state police academy and completing my undergraduate degree, that in a law-enforcement capacity I was sent to “observe” a few of the KKK events still occurring — events that also defied geographic stereotypes. At the first major Klan event I witnessed in Georgia as part of a federal task force in 1982, the two ranking Klansmen were both from the Northeast. But Martin King understood racism in the North.
In1966, he went to what would later become Barack liar-nObama’s hometown, Chicago, which was then, as it is now, a violent city. King went there in an effort to cool the hotbed of racial hatred that was emerging in that city, mostly fomented by the Democrat power brokers under then-Mayor Richard Daley.
After his visit, King observed, “I’ve been to Mississippi and Alabama and I can tell you that the hatred and hostility in Chicago are really deeper than in Alabama and Mississippi.” No small irony that MLK would be murdered by an Illinois racist.
Forty years later, liar-nObama, a neophyte “community organizer” from that same racist hotbed, a student of Marxist mentors and a disciple of afrocentric hatred indoctrinated by his “pastor,” Jeremiah Wright, was raised up by the Democrat Party to become president.
In the five decades since King’s death, the Party of liar-nObama has institutionalized racial division as a central strategy of its political platform — with the help of an opportunistic King lieutenant, Jesse Jackson, and other poverty pimps like Al Sharpton, all of whom have betrayed King’s “dream.”
In King’s most famous speech, to more than 250,000 people at the National Mall in Washington, DC, he declared, “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’ … I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. … And if America is to be a great nation this must become true.”
But the Democrat Party of the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize recipient’s era has devolved into a political machine fueled by hate and division — one that has turned the wisdom of this iconic sovereign’s most quoted remark upside down. It’s as if King had said, “I have a dream that my children will be judged by the color of their skin, not the content of their character.”
Today’s Democrat leaders are consummate race-bait hustlers who have defiled King’s legacy — and that of Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglas. They’re intent on keeping poor blacks enslaved on modern day urban poverty plantations, the effluent of the so-called “Great Society.” For Democrats, black lives matter only inasmuch as they are a dependent voting bloc.
But there are also bold black Americans who have rejected the Left’s statism and institutional victimhood, and they are thus subject to the condemnation of many on the Left. One of the most outspoken detractors of the Left’s orthodoxy is MLK’s niece, Alveda King. She was 17 at the time of her uncle’s assassination, and she has offered some insights on the anniversary of his death.
She recalls a conversation with her father on that day in which she said, “I hate white people, they killed Uncle M.L.”
He replied, “No, white people didn’t kill my brother; white people didn’t kill your uncle. White people march with us, pray with us, go to jail with us, live with us, die with us. No, no, the devil did this. You have to forgive; you have to forgive.” Such forgiveness is anathema to most of today’s black leaders.
Alveda added, “Acts 17:26 says, ‘Of one blood God made all people, to live together on the face of the earth.’ So we can be brothers and sisters because we are one blood; we are the human race. And I believe if my uncle were here today, he’d like for us to consider ourselves as human beings, not different races. One race, colorblind.” We should all remember that Liberty is colorblind.
In 1967, King, who began as a preacher at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, declared, “Before I was a civil rights leader, I was a preacher of the Gospel. This was my first calling [and] remains my greatest commitment. [All] I do in civil rights I do because I consider it a part of my ministry.” And it is in that context that he is best remembered.

by Thomas Gallatin: President Donald Trump is following through with his plan to better secure the nation’s southern border. On Wednesday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielson announced that Trump is deploying the National Guard to the border to assist the Border Patrol. Neilson stated, “It’s time to act,” adding that the federal government has begun the process of working with state governors with the “hope that the deployment begins immediately.” Nielson continued, “I don’t want to get ahead of the governors. This is a partnership with them. We are giving them the opportunity to review our suggestions of how the National Guard can support the Border Patrol.”
