rickwells.us } ~ Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is in the unique position only available to government employees... that of being in “pretend” retirement while he’s still an active employee, running out the clock until he qualifies for benefits. He was forced out because he was involved in an attempted coup against the United States and may face charges once the evidence is produced in an Inspector General report due out anytime now. He was also a key individual in the liar-Clinton cover up. He should have been fired, not allowed to retire, but it’s not too late. AG Jeff Sessions has until Sunday to do the right thing. The FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility has recommended that McCabe be fired and the process has moved to the final stage, a decision by Sessions to either terminate the dirty cop on his staff and deny him the ill-gotten benefits of a pension or do nothing and let him continue to feed parasitically off of the American people, liar-Clinton style... https://rickwells.us/sessions-firing-mccabe-retirement/

punchingbagpost.com } ~ It’s official– Chinese lawmakers have passed a constitutional amendment that abolishes term limits for its President... meaning Xi-Jinping will remain as the country’s leader for the rest of his life. Xi’s predecessor put the two-term limit in place in 1982 to protect China from lifelong dictatorships, but now the country’s National People’s Congress (NPC) has been manipulated to abolish these limits. China’s Congress, made up of 3,000 hand-picked delegates, all “voted,” a process that only took ten minutes to complete. The results then were soon announced after the vote. 2,958 voted in favor, two in opposition, three abstained and one vote was invalidated... http://punchingbagpost.com/xi-jinping-can-now-remain-president-of-china-for-life/?pb_list=pb_list

This isn’t just illegal, it’s treason, and the federal government needs to step up and haul these people into to courts on their way to prison and replace them until the citizenry can elect their replacement.  Democrats giving illegals the vote in cities across the country  Democrat mentality over immigration is completely two-faced in that they want foreigners who are in the country illegally to vote in elections, yet they cry and moan in their delusional belief that Russia somehow voted illegally in the last election. It’s sick and demented for them to condemn foreign interference in elections by their fantasy Russians while advocating for Mexicans and Moslems to cast votes in a country they hate.

by Glenn Kessler
{ jewishworldreview.com } ~"We're talking about something that happened in 1995. This was the year that the Million Man March took off. People were attacking the march at the time. . . . Man, I'm telling you back in 2006 and before, I disavowed them. That's the ridiculous thing about this, that we keep on having to answer this kind of stuff."- Rep. scum-Keith Ellison, D-Minn., interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Dec. 14, 2016

"scum-Ellison's spokesperson noted to CNN that 'President liar-nObama, Stevie Wonder, Maya Angelou, and many others also attended the March' and said he 'had no additional involvement with March organizer Louis Farrakhan or his organizations, has long since denounced him, and rejects all forms of anti-Semitism.'"- CNN news report, Dec. 1, 2016

scum-Ellison, who had defended Farrakhan against charges of anti-Semitism as a law student, publicly renounced the Nation of Islam in 2006 when he first ran for Congress, but the issue re-emerged after a CNN exploration about his decade-long involvement in the group.

After the CNN report, scum-Ellison wrote an article for The Washington Post, saying he had failed to scrutinize the words of people such as Farrakhan when he defended him for his role in the Million Man March. "These men organize by sowing hatred and division, including anti-Semitism, homophobia and a chauvinistic model of manhood. I disavowed them long ago, condemned their views and apologized," he said.

Farrakhan has been back in the news with a fiery, anti-Semitic speech on Feb. 25 that included a knock on 
scum-Ellison for having distanced himself from the group when he ran for Congress. "Let me tell you something, when you want something in this world, the Jew holds the door," Farrakhan said. During his speech, he displayed a photo of scum-Ellison selling the Nation of Islam newspaper in 1998 during a march against police brutality.

scum-Ellison, in his "Morning Joe" interview, implied he had had no association with Farrakhan since 2006. His spokesman flatly said he had "no additional involvement." But new evidence suggests these statements are false.

THE FACTS

There are at least three recent cases in which scum-Ellison and Farrakhan have crossed paths and may have even spoken.

2010-2013: In a YouTube video uncovered by the Daily Caller, scum-Ellison is seen chatting with a group of men that includes Farrakhan during a function at the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Virginia. The two men are not seen talking directly to each other, but they are just feet apart. The date of the event is unclear, but it was between 2010 and 2013. The video was uploaded in 2013, and Farrakhan is seen hugging Mahdi Bray, national director of the American Muslim Alliance, because Bray had recovered from a stroke that he suffered in 2010.

2013: scum-Ellison attended a dinner for Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Sept. 23 with at least 30 other U.S. Muslim leaders, including Farrakhan. The Wall Street Journal first drew attention to this dinner, which is documented on the websites of the Nation of Islam and the Islamic House of Wisdom. From the photographs, it's unclear how close scum-Ellison and Farrakhan are seated, but it was a setting for a formal discussion, with microphones, so scum-Ellison would not have been able to miss Farrakhan's attendance. scum-Ellison told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that he did not know in advance who would be attending and that he went to the dinner to press for a peaceful resolution of the nuclear standoff with Iran and for the release of former U.S. Marine Amir Hekmati, who was detained in Iran on spying charges. He was released in 2016.

2016: scum-Ellison met privately with Farrakhan. Shortly after scum-Ellison wrote his Washington Post article, Farrakhan posted an interview on his Facebook page in which he said the "deceitful" op-ed was the result of "Jewish control of politics, economics, Hollywood, music, media." He also said that scum-Ellison and Rep. André Carson, D-Ind., the only other Muslim member of Congress, had recently met with him and had a private chat. "Both of them, when I was in Washington, visited my suite and we sat down talking like you and I are talking," Farrakhan told his interviewer, Munir Muhammad. "But evidently, the enemy has made me the litmus test for all black people who want to rise in their world."

Carson, in a statement to The Fact Checker, did not address the circumstances of the meeting but confirmed he had met with Farrakhan:

"I've spent my life fighting discrimination in every form, from anyone. As a Member of Congress, I have met with a diverse array of community leaders, including Minister Farrakhan, to discuss critical issues that are important to my constituents and all Americans. While many of these leaders have long track records of creating positive change in their communities, this does not mean that I see eye to eye with them on all beliefs or public statements. Racism, homophobia, islamophobia, anti-Semitism, xenophobia and other forms of intolerance have no place in our civil discourse. This is part of my responsibility as a Representative to the diverse constituency I represent. As public officials, we must all recommit ourselves to simultaneously advocating for our communities while fostering a more inclusive, tolerant society."

scum-Ellison's staff initially indicated they would offer a response but failed to do so. scum-Ellison, asked by CNN's Wolf Blitzer about the meetings on Feb. 22, did not address them. He said he had "no relationship" with Farrakhan and "my political opponents keep pushing this out there in order to smear and distract from the key issues."

THE PINOCCHIO TEST

scum-Ellison repeatedly has danced around the question of his association with Farrakhan, including whether they have crossed paths since he publicly cut ties with the Nation of Islam in 2006. But he needs to provide a better explanation for what he was doing in Farrakhan's hotel suite in 2016 and what they discussed. He cannot claim to have "disavowed" Farrakhan more than a decade ago while moving in the same circles and apparently having a friendly chat behind closed doors.

Carson at least acknowledged he met with Farrakhan to discuss issues related to community concerns. scum-Ellison is trying to have it both ways, publicly distancing himself while privately doing something else. He earns Four Pinocchios for suggesting his interactions with Farrakhan ended in 2006.

When Pompeo replaces Tillerson at the State Department 
he faces challenges from North Korea, Syria and Iran
by By Reuel Marc Gerecht

{ foxnews.com } ~ President Trump’s announcement Tuesday that he has removed Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and will nominate CIA Director Mike Pompeo... 
to head the State Department will likely leave Pompeo spending most of his time in his new job dealing with three nations: North Korea, Syria and Iran. The easiest will be North Korea. The odds are microscopic that direct talks between President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un will lead to an agreement for North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons. The proposed Trump-Kim meeting proves once again the enormous value that the possession of nuclear weapons and the rapid development of intercontinental ballistic missiles confers upon North Korea. Because of North Korea’s nuclear weapons, an American president says he is willing to meet an Orwellian dictator of a small, bankrupt state. Kim’s hold on power has depended upon nuclear blackmail, criminality, proliferation, the confiscation of wages paid to indentured North Korean laborers in other countries, and Chinese support....

Blue States Prey On Poor And Minorities Using This ‘Tax’

finance.townhall.com } ~ The simplest way to understand the lottery is as a tax... It is a regressive tax on predominantly poor or lower income people. Essentially, the lottery is state/government sanctioned gambling. A state might outlaw back room gambling, or odds betting on sports and horses, but they gladly sanction gambling through the lottery and casinos because of the massive revenue stream they receive through the sale of lottery tickets. We quickly learn that states don't actually have a problem with gambling, they just want their cut of the profits.  The lottery, then, is nothing less than another tax enacted by the government on sometimes unsuspecting people. And though the lottery is a voluntary tax, it is often pushed by media hype as the growing jackpot becomes a focal point of the news. And though studies have long-shown the financial damage caused by the lottery to lower-income people, this tax doesn't appear to be going away anytime soon. The government is not likely to end such a large revenue stream. So the preying goes on...   https://finance.townhall.com/columnists/nathancherry/2018/03/14/blue-states-prey-on-poor-and-minorities-using-this-tax-n2460829?utm_source=thdaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl

Kim is likely to raise the possibility of a peace treaty, along with establishing diplomatic relations and nuclear disarmament, during a meeting with the U.S. leader, the Dong-A Ilbo newspaper said Monday, citing an unidentified senior official in South Korea’s presidential office. Trump last week agreed to meet Kim, although key details of the summit have yet to be decided.  Koh Yu-hwan, who teaches North Korean studies at Dongguk University in Seoul, said the regime has long sought a peace treaty to end the more than 60-year-old ceasefire between the two sides and help guarantee its safety. “There were agreements between the U.S. and North Korea to open up discussion on a peace treaty, but they never materialized,” Koh said, saying the conditions were key. “The U.S. wants a peace treaty at the end of the denuclearization process, while for the North, it’s the precondition for its denuclearization.”...   http://www.americanpatriotdaily.com/featured/kim-jong-un-secret-could-change-everything/

During a surprise visit to the country on Tuesday, U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis described victory in Afghanistan as facilitating the reconciliation between Taliban terrorists and Kabul rather than defeating the jihadists on the battlefield.  Echoing U.S. Gen. John Nicholson, the top commander of American and NATO troops in Afghanistan, Mattis indicated that the Trump administration’s goal is to pressure Taliban jihadists to engage in peace talks by making them realize they cannot win on the battlefield, notes the Associated Press (AP)...  http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2018/03/13/mattis-defines-victory-in-afghanistan-as-reconciliation-with-taliban-amid-concerns-of-terror-havens-increase/

The National Debt: Far Worse Than You Realize 

vuyqm6Jjq1RBnyXHWC_rtlhJ-qyVsMwVSAfHhxgFxznPaHOXHxLPRgfV23bbKmqGYWnPq9Zt4_ZC2gAQu9z0_5eAP5vX5lCsBVgjbdjMGfhNZvHk-bL1zR2NPG3OsQc=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450by Jordan Candler:  You’ve heard the adage — if the government functioned like a home or corporation does, its balance sheet would be so convoluted and full of red ink that it would utterly fail. A person’s ability to keep a home or business afloat is entirely contingent on their financial literacy and managing proficiency.

             The federal government, however, is not bound by the same rules. Not only does it operate with deep and worsening deficits, but its true financial condition is disguised by shady and elusive accounting metrics. The headline national debt is nearing $21 trillion, but the truth is that this figure is significantly deflated. Citing new Treasury research, PJ Media reports:
             If the national debt were officially calculated the way assets for private companies are calculated — by tallying assets, debts, liabilities, and obligations — the official federal debt would be $88.9 trillion, or $704,000 per household.
             This represents no less than four times the projected national debt of roughly $20 trillion. The federal government uses accounting practices different from private companies, and so it can report a much smaller national debt than its true liabilities account for.
             While the federal government reported a budget deficit of $666 billion for the 2017 fiscal year, a new comprehensive report from the U.S. Treasury showed that finances really deteriorated by $1,157 billion. The document explained that this difference comes from accrued costs that are not necessarily paid, such as estimated future costs of federal employee and veterans’ benefits.
             This discrepancy is tied to what’s known as accrual accounting, a method utilized by the Treasury in its report. “Accrual accounting involves measuring the full spectrum of financial commitments,” according to PJ Media, “while cash accounting — the kind used to calculate the federal budget — only counts money as it flows in and out.”
             The author points to worker’s pension benefits as an example. If the Treasury standard were applied, “an employee’s pension would be recorded as the employee earned it. Under cash accounting, this liability would not emerge as a cost until years or decades later, when it is actually paid.”
             If we take off the rose-colored glasses, the reality is that taxpayers are $7.7 trillion in the hole when it comes to funding public-worker pensions and benefits. And that’s just one example. Social Security and Medicare together are $65 trillion in the hole. The DC Swamp, it turns out, is far deeper and wider than most people realize. And the catastrophe will be gradual until it’s sudden.

According to Axios, two senior Israeli officials say that Netanyahu was promised that the U.S. would be inflexible when it came to negotiating with France, Germany, and the U.K. on the text of the contract. Until now, Trump told the Israeli prime minister, the other partner countries had only offered “cosmetic changes” to the agreement that he has not found acceptable. “The bottom line: Trump stressed that if his demands are not met,” reports Axios, “the U.S. will withdraw from the deal.”...   http://www.conservativefreepress.com/foreign-policy/trump-without-serious-changes-pulling-iran-deal/

{ newsmax.com } ~ President Donald Trump is considering replacing embattled Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin with Energy Secretary Rick Perry... A source familiar with the White House discussions tells The Associated Press that Trump has floated the notion of the Cabinet reshuffle as a way to right the ship at the VA, believing Shulkin has become a distraction to the department's work. The source was not authorized to discuss internal deliberations.

city-journal.org } ~ Chemical weapons are back, and most of the egregious recent attacks bear Russian fingerprints... The weapon whose use resulted in the death of at least 90,000 soldiers in World War I and triggered a ban that endured for decades is increasingly being used as a weapon of assassination and terror. On Wednesday, British Prime Minister Theresa May, blaming Moscow for the March 4th attack in Salisbury which poisoned Sergei V. Skripal, a former Russian spy, and his adult daughter, announced sweeping sanctions against Russia. May announced that Britain is expelling 23 Russian diplomats—the single largest such expulsion since the end of the Cold War—and unveiled economic and diplomatic sanctions against Moscow, including the cancellation of all high-level bilateral contacts and asking Britain's royal family not attend the soccer World Cup in Russia.  Although Russia has denied responsibility for the attack which has left the Skripals in critical condition and poisoned two first responders who helped them, May acted after Russia failed to respond adequately to her ultimatum earlier this week. On Monday, she said it was “highly likely” that Russia was responsible for either a “direct act of the Russian state against our country” or that Moscow had “lost  control” of the “Novichuk,” a third generation nerve agent developed in the 1970s and 1980s, many times more lethal than anything then in America’s chemical arsenal... https://www.city-journal.org/html/chemical-weapons-are-back-thanks-russia-15766.html?utm_source=City+Journal+Update&utm_campaign=39ef6879ae-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_03_14&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_6c08930f2b-39ef6879ae-109328273

liar-nObama Backed Off Putin's Election Meddling

by Political Editors:  Did Barack liar-nObama order a “stand-down” to his intel chiefs stopping them from aggressively confronting the Russians and their interference campaign during the 2016 presidential election? A soon-to-be released book by Michael Isikoff and David Corn entitled Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump seems to be making this assertion.

             In released excerpts from their book, Isikoff and Corn write that when liar-nObama and company were first alerted to Russian election meddling efforts, they debated as to “how forcefully to respond.” Eventually the decision was made, as Isikoff and Corn explain, “It was a debate that would culminate that summer with a dramatic directive from liar-nObama’s national security adviser to the NSC (National Security Council) staffers developing aggressive proposals to strike back against the Russians: ‘Stand down.’”
             The authors note that liar-nObama and company had essentially two separate Russia-related meddling problems. The first was the Russian hacking and leaking of documents and emails from the DNC and liar-Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and the second was a number of Russian cyberattacks on several states’ “election systems, particularly voter registration databases.” liar-nObama seemingly took the threat to states’ election systems as more of a concern but the solution sought was to increase federal government oversight of state elections — something that the states rightfully bristled against.
             Never, it seems, was liar-nObama willing to go directly at the source of the problem: Russian President Vladimir Putin. Instead liar-nObama followed a similar pattern of “leading from behind,” or in reality not leading at all. In issuing the “stand-down” order, liar-nObama opted for the most part to ignore the Russian problem and assume, like much of the mainstream media, that liar-Clinton would win anyway. And, as Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey observes, “Had liar-nObama not been ‘standing down’ on Russia for practically the entirety of his presidency and openly mocking Republicans like Mitt Romney who correctly pointed out the threat they represented, he might not have been left with a bad hand in September 2016.”   ~The Patriot Pos

One of them, George Nader, is now one of his “star witnesses.” That star may be fading quickly. The Lebanese-American Nader is reportedly an adviser to the United Arab Emirates who brokered a meeting between Blackwater founder Erik Prince and a Russian, Kirill Dmitriev. Prince says the meeting had nothing to do with President Trump, but Nader is claiming otherwise. Nader was apprehended upon his return to the US by the FBI at Dulles Airport and served with search warrants. We already know the lengths the liar-nObama private security service masquerading as the FBI was willing to go to in order to get information damaging to President Trump, to the point of falsifying evidence in the case of the Carter Page FISA warrant. Putting a little heat on this international sleaze ball to stretch the truth a bit would be in line with their liar-nObama era standard political operating procedures...   https://rickwells.us/muellers-witness-clinton-beach/

While touring the walls, Trump was asked about recent criticism of the cost of the wall by California’s Democrat governor Jerry Brown. In his response, Trump tore into Brown and his management of the state of California. Trump said Brown has done “a very poor job running California” and noted that the state has very high taxes. “The taxes are way, way out of whack,” Trump said, saying “people are going to start to move pretty soon.” Trump criticized California’s Sanctuary cities for harboring “criminals” and “very dangerous people.” Trump ended his anti-California comments ny saying Gov. Brown “has not done the job. The taxes are double and triple what they should be.

To Trump-Russia Collusion Story

{ townhall.com } ~ It has long been the key question of the Trump-Russia affair: Did Donald Trump's presidential campaign collude with Russia to influence the 2016 election? Now, we have the first official, albeit partisan, answer.

"We have found no evidence of collusion, coordination, or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russians," said Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee Monday, as they released findings from a 14-month Trump-Russia investigation.

GOP Rep. Mike Conaway, who formally oversaw the committee probe, said, "We found perhaps bad judgment, inappropriate meetings, inappropriate judgment in taking meetings." But no collusion.

Committee investigators looked at the events often cited as evidence of collusion. They looked at the June 9, 2016, meeting in Trump Tower in which Donald Trump Jr. and other top campaign officials talked to a group of Russians who promised, but did not deliver, damaging information on liar-Hillary Clinton. They looked at the activities of peripheral Trump advisers George Papadopoulos and Carter Page. They looked at the allegations in the Trump dossier. They looked at all that, and they could not find a thread connecting events into a narrative of collusion.

"Only Tom Clancy or Vince Flynn or someone else like that could take this series of inadvertent contacts with each other, or meetings, whatever, and weave that into some sort of a fictional page-turner spy thriller," Conaway said. "But we're not dealing with fiction, we're dealing with facts. And we found no evidence of any collusion, of anything that people were actually doing, other than taking a meeting they shouldn't have taken or inadvertently being in the same building."

The collusion question is the most contentious of the Trump-Russia investigation. Some Democrats have long said we know enough now to prove collusion. Indeed, just last month, Rep. scum-Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, said, "There is already, in my view, ample evidence in the public domain on the issue of collusion if you're willing to see it."

When Republicans released their findings, though, scum-Schiff did not mention collusion, choosing instead to accuse the majority of cutting short the investigation and placing "the interests of protecting the president over protecting the country."

Would-be believers in collusion could suffer another disappointment later this year when the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee releases its report. Shortly after the House findings were made public, the chairman of that committee, Sen. Richard Burr, told CNN he has not seen evidence of collusion, despite his committee having spent more than a year looking for it.

"'I've read a lot about it, but I haven't seen any' evidence of collusion, Burr said," according to the CNN report. "Asked about repeated efforts by Russians to coordinate with the Trump campaign, Burr said: 'It's collusion on part of the Russians, I guess, but not the Trump campaign.'"

Burr's official position is that the investigation into collusion continues, but he has sent out signal after signal that he doesn't think it happened -- an opinion that supports what House Republicans found.

Yes, the House committee findings are partisan -- they were released under the leadership of the committee's controversial chairman, Rep. Devin Nunes, are the work of Republicans on the committee, and are sure to be disputed by Democrats. But they are still the first official report ruling out collusion in the 2016 campaign.

And they were released in the context of some nervousness on the left that the collusion narrative, a fundamental element of Trump resistance, might not work out. The comic version of that came on "Saturday Night Live," in a skit -- a parody of "The Bachelor" -- in which special counsel Robert Mueller broke the news to an anti-Trump true believer that collusion might not have occurred.

"So, uh, you know that I've been struggling a little bit over the last few months just trying to figure this whole thing out and just grasp everything," the actor playing Mueller said. "The reality is I don't think I can give you everything that you want right now, and I think you sense that."

"So ... what?" said the stunned woman. "You don't have Trump on collusion?"

"I think I need to explore the possibility that I have a stronger case with some other stuff," the Mueller actor said. "I'm just trying to be honest with you in telling you I can't commit to collusion right now."

Devastated, the woman responded: "Collusion is literally the only thing that I've been looking forward to the past year."

Back in the real world, none of Mueller's indictments or guilty pleas so far have alleged collusion. But it is always important to note that we do not know what is coming next.

And in the skit, the respected special counsel Mueller delivered the news. In real life, it was House Republicans. And a lot of Democrats, and some in the public as well, will simply not believe House Republicans' word on the matter. They'll wait to hear from other sources.

That is coming, perhaps sooner rather than later, and the collusion question will finally be settled.

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ “Is there a deep state in the United States?” asked George Beebe in a recent essay... Yes, the former chief of Russia analysis at CIA concluded, if the definition of “deep state” holds that elements of the national security apparatus possess “the capability, albeit not the legal authority, to abuse intelligence to alter the outcomes of national elections or distort public-policy debates.” Curbing the power of this shadowy group, Beebe suggested, could be accomplished through robust congressional oversight. Yet, in the minds of most analysts inclined to afford the question any serious thought, the Deep State is usually considered immune to the incursions of oversight committees. The group’s members are thought to enjoy the same power over elected officials that blackjack dealers hold over casino visitors: The house always wins. Does that Deep State exist? A logical preliminary question, posed with the same zoological dispassion we would reserve for contemplation of any elusive species, such as the Loch Ness Monster, would first inquire whether such a beast has ever been documented to exist. After all, anyone affirming the existence, let alone the primacy, of the Deep State in Trump-era Washington would presumably concede the impossibility of such fearsome power amassing overnight, or in swift reaction to the ascendancy of a specific political actor deemed an intolerable threat. Would it be a creature solely of our time, the age of Big Data, or was there a Deep State before computers were widely used?... https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/trump-nixon-and-the-deep-state.

M3ufEPDzWj9U6W6DqnfbmqsG7A_P1LlsGnUgk6A_pb_KRpz47Ib09EBS9WK2Dz08E9KYGfxNt0c5ibnOtEDxsJp6RVEOUdJrzaNsZzaxz-_9zJNDuxcqsUrSGFdsjkE=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450by Thomas Gallatin:  House Intelligence Committee Republicans announced the end of the committee’s investigation into the Donald Trump/Russia collusion conspiracy during the 2016 presidential election, concluding that there is no evidence to support the charge nor to continue the investigation. Rep. K. Michael Conaway (R-TX) stated, “We’ve found no evidence of collusion. We found perhaps some bad judgment, inappropriate meetings, inappropriate judgment at taking meetings.” Conaway further opined, “Only Tom Clancy or Vince Flynn or someone else like that could take this series of inadvertent contacts with each other, meetings, whatever, and weave that into some sort of a fiction, page-turner spy thriller. We’re not dealing in fiction, we’re dealing in facts, and we found no evidence of any collusion.”

             House Democrats, clearly not thrilled by the decision, predictably claimed that Republicans were shutting down the investigation too soon in order to protect Trump. The top Democrat on the committee, Rep. Adam scum-Schiff (CA), blasted the announcement as a “tragic milestone” and a “capitulation to the executive branch.”scum-Schiff added, “By ending its oversight role in the only authorized investigation in the House, the Majority has placed the interests of protecting the president over protecting the country, and history will judge its actions harshly.” scum-Schiff then regurgitated the Democrats’ worn-out talking point of Russian collusion conspiracy, saying, “If the Russians do have leverage over the president of the United States, the majority has simply decided it would rather not know.
             After more than a year of the Intel Committee investigating and turning up no evidence of any collusion, Republicans are right to conclude the matter — it has proven only to descend into political gamesmanship. Democrats weren’t interested in finding the truth and concluding the investigation. Rather, their desire was to see it continue unendingly in order to maintain a politically convenient cloud of suspicion over Trump’s entire presidency. Their feigned concern over protecting the nation has nothing to do with actually protecting America; it’s aimed at protecting their anti-Trump political position.
             While Democrats are trying to protect their anti-Trump talking points, Republicans are rightly focusing on moving forward and protecting the nation against more Russian election meddling. A spokeswoman for House Speaker Paul Ryan noted, “After more than a year investigating Russia’s actions in the 2016 election, we are well into the primary season for the 2018 elections and experts are warning that we need to safeguard against further interference. That’s what this next phase is about and we hope Democrats will join us in seeing this through.” Fat chance.
             Exit quote: “House Republicans have abandoned their oath to support and defend the Constitution and protect the American people,” lamented House Minority Leader Nancy Pulosi (D-CA). No, Democrats are the ones who’ve mastered abandoning their oaths.

Opinion in Brief

Michelle Malkin: “Here is my homework assignment for all the fist-clenching, gun control-demanding teenagers walking out of classrooms this week (and next week and next month) to protest school shootings: Ask not what the rest of the country can do for your local school’s safety; ask what your local school boards and superintendents have been failing to do for you. Chances are, the adults closest to you — those most directly responsible for your security — have been shirking their primary duties, squandering scarce resources and deflecting blame. Yes, it’s glamorous and exciting to appear on ‘The Ellen Show,’ rub elbows with Eminem at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, pal around with Anderson Cooper, and soak up praise and donations from George Clooney and nOprah for shouting at the NRA, Republicans and President Trump. Sure, it’s fun to ditch your homework, parade around in ‘March For Our Lives’ swag, and watch your Twitter mentions explode like SpaceX launches every time you indignantly accuse gun-owning moms of hating their own children. … But when the media whirlwind dies down and the Everytown buses ship you back home, mundane realities will set in. … As a famous Chicago community organizer once quipped, ‘Change is hard.’ Selfies with gun control armbands is easy. Cleaning your own house, district and county is hard. Junkets to DC are easy. Digging through audits and public records is hard. Regurgitating Mad Libs-like talking points against the NRA and Second Amendment is easy. Go back to class and look homeward, all you young ‘change agents.’ The faultiest faults are near, not far.

{ rickwells.us } ~ President Trump stopped as he was leaving the White House on his way to inspect the border wall prototypes to speak to reporters... The first topic addressed was the firing of globalist Rex Tillerson from his position as Secretary of State. Rather than focusing on the departing Tillerson, Trump led off by speaking of his new Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo. Trump said, “I’ve worked with Mike Pompeo now for quite some time, tremendous energy, tremendous intellect, we’re always on the same wavelength, the relationship has been very good and that’s what I need as Secretary of State.” He said, “I wish Rex Tillerson well.” Gina Haspel, by the way, who I have gotten to know very well, who I’ve worked with very closely, will be the first woman director of the CIA. She is an outstanding person who also I have gotten to know very well. So I’ve gotten to know a lot of people very well over the last year and I’m really at a point where we’re getting very close to having the cabinet and other things that I want.”... https://rickwells.us/trump-reasons-tillerson-pompeo/.

{ jewishjournal.com } ~ United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley issued a stark warning to Russia, Iran and Syria... on Mar. 12 over the recent bombings in Syria: the United States is ready to take action if need be. At the United Nations Security Council, Haley explained that Russia had been constantly blocking efforts to reach a ceasefire in Syria stopping Bashar al-Assad’s forces from striking the Eastern Ghouta area of Damascus. Russia eventually relented and agreed to a ceasefire, but only because they had a heavy say in each syllable of the agreement. “In the eyes of Russia, Iran and Assad, the neighborhoods of Eastern Ghouta are full of terrorists,” Haley said. “The hospitals are full of terrorists. The schools are full of terrorists. The Syrian and Russian regimes insist that they are targeting terrorists, but their bombs and artillery continue to fall on hospitals and schools and on innocent civilians.”...   http://jewishjournal.com/news/nation/231756/haley-issues-warning-russia-iran-syria-united-states-remains-prepared-act-must/

{ wnd.com } ~ Even though tensions had been mounting between President Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson for months... a new report indicates the president abruptly fired Tillerson because he went “rogue” and tried to save the Iran nuclear deal. President Trump has repeatedly insisted that the nuclear deal with Iran must be fixed or abandoned by the U.S. The reason for Tillerson’s firing was revealed by the Washington Free Beacon in a report that cited “multiple sources with knowledge of the situation.” The Free Beacon stated: In the weeks leading up to Tillerson’s departure, he had been spearheading efforts to convince European allies to agree to a range of fixes to the nuclear deal that would address Iran’s ongoing ballistic missile program and continued nuclear research... http://www.wnd.com/2018/03/he-went-rogue-real-reason-trump-fired-tillerson/

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ President Donald Trump traveled to San Diego today for a tour of eight border wall prototypes today... along with a speech to members of the military at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. This is President Trumps first trip to California as president. The peoples’ president spent about an hour reviewing the 30-foot wall segments near the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump’s promise of building a border wall was the primary visible promise made during the 2016 presidential campaign trail. As president, he has been steadfast in his push for the completed project. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/03/13/president-trump-visits-san-diego-to-review-border-wall-prototypes-video/.

A Moment for Movement on Guns

by Peggy Noonan
{ peggynoonan.com } ~ It’s two immovable forces that have to share the same country. Both sides are sincere and have reasons for where they stand.

But this is a promising moment. Some give looks possible.

What is needed to prepare the ground for progress? Squelch your own smugness. Stop needling, patronizing, misstating the other side’s position. Lay down your rhetorical arms. Deweaponize your mouth. It’s not enough to argue in good faith; you have to will yourself to see the good faith on the other side.

And don’t be maximalist.

Something changed with Parkland. In part it is that the young survivors presented themselves not as victims but as warriors. Some flooded the airwaves. They were media-savvy, had no shyness, were full of themselves in the way closely raised children encouraged in a hearty self-esteem can be full of themselves.

But the boy who broke it open was not smooth. In the president’s White House meeting with survivors he spoke with no assumption. He said, “My name is Justin Gruber, and I was at the school at the time of the massacre. I’m only 15 years old. I’m a sophomore. Nineteen years ago, the first school shooting, Columbine—at Columbine High School, happened. And I was born into a world where I never got to experience safety and peace.”

This was a powerfully reorienting statement. We are now in the second generation of public school terror.

And parents throughout the country are saying: We cannot have this anymore.

We can’t have another generation of children who fear going to school, who jump whenever there’s a loud noise in the hall. We can’t have another generation of parents afraid when they drop the kids off in the morning. You can’t ask the parents of a great nation to “get used to this.” You can’t tell them to accept that this is the way it is now. “I have my rights.” Everybody has rights. Children have rights. And they are right to be afraid.

We don’t need to rehearse why Americans have guns. Protection my urban store, my rural home, hunting, sport. History—from the Pilgrims to the Wild West the gun was a tool of survival. Tradition—my grandfather gave me his Remington and it is, truly, a thing of beauty. Orneriness—when fancy people tell you you’re not allowed to have something, you better get it.

And something else, an aspect in which gun-owning Americans are more imaginative, more alive to history and sensitive to its trends, than affluent city and suburban liberals. They know how precarious everything is, how complex and provisional, how if you lose this piece the electrical grid, that piece civilized behavior will give way. The poet James Dickey captured this in his novel “Deliverance,” published in 1970. The character Lewis: “I think the machines are going to fail, the political systems are going to fail, and a few men are going to take to the hills and start over.” He kept his body fit and his weapons oiled.

Or, more recently, a masterpiece, Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 2006 novel, “The Road.” A man and his young son are alone at the end of the world. There was a terrible event—“a long shear of light and then a series of low concussions.” They trek south through a ruined landscape—“everything dead to the root”—in hopes of seeing the sun. The man has a revolver with two bullets. He is surrounded by marauders, and worse than marauders, with guns.

“The frailty of everything revealed at last.”

Those who own big guns often hope to survive—and help you survive—dark possibilities. Keep that in mind when you put them down. They may be grim, but only the grim saw 9/11 coming. The giddy censors who run around my beloved city were shocked.

Older gun owners fear the government, it’s true. But those who are not old don’t primarily fear it’s too powerful. They fear it is incapable of protecting them.

I want to go to the promise of this moment. It is that our president is making sense. Donald Trump is jumbling categories as a “right-winger” for tighter gun laws. In meetings with the nation’s governors and with congressional leaders, he said he isn’t afraid of the National Rifle Association and they shouldn’t be either. He would harden the schools, raise to 21 the age limit to buy assault weapons. He would enhance and broaden background checks so “sickos” can’t get guns. He is convincingly alive to the mental-health crisis and its part in the story. He wants cops to have the authority to confiscate temporarily the guns of the dangerous, such as those who go around threatening to shoot up schools.

Importantly, he treated the mass shootings like a crisis, not a tragedy. This country is tired of tragedy, of the weeping president and the high-toned speech. Mr. Trump doesn’t do that because he can’t, and doesn’t know how to mourn. Just as well: We’re all tired of moist and empty vows. Do something. President liar-nObama had a sense of tragedy about the NRA and congressional blocs and those poor, sad Americans who cling to guns. In effect he gave his own party a pass when it stepped away from gun control after Sandy Hook.

Mr. Trump, God bless him, doesn’t know enough about the facts to be fatalistic about them. But he got the big picture right—at least the larger context of voters frozen along battle lines.

His presentations were stream-of-consciousness—undisciplined, scatty. And as always the question is whether he meant any of it. His opinions rest on impulses. He likes to say words. You never know which you can believe, which makes deal-making hard.

But of all recent presidents he is the one who can give cover to congressional conservatives, work with Democrats, and get something done.

As for me, I am where Ralph Peters is. The retired military man wrote a stinging, striking piece in the New York Post last week. He fired his first gun as a child when he was handed an illegal sawed-off shotgun “kept handy for woodchucks and rattlesnakes.” He served in the U.S. Army infantry, has fired automatic weapons, and owns guns: “As I write these lines, there’s an 1858 Tower musket behind me and a Colt on my desk,” he wrote.

“But I believe, on moral, practical and constitutional grounds, that no private citizen should own an automatic weapon or a semi-automatic weapon that can easily be modified for automatic effects. These are military weapons. Their purpose is to kill human beings. They’re not used for hunting unless you want to destroy the animal’s meat. They’re lousy for target shooting. But they’re excellent tools for mass murder.”

No one has the right to “a personal arsenal of weapons designed for mass murder.”

We have an estimated 300 million guns in America. An estimated 50 million of our households keep them.

For now that is enough, even for whatever terrible day comes.

Stop selling military-style weapons now. Just stop. See what happens in America. Revisit the issue in five years. Don’t be maximalist.

The parents are right. We can’t have this anymore.

And we can’t have the world, which is watching, saying, “They kill their own children in the schoolrooms. They have lost their souls.”

He is his own man and doesn’t appreciate them sticking their noses into his domestic affairs and making threats. He’s certainly done his best to make that point clear, but never seem to catch on. Duterte is a patient and religious man, so he’s still trying to get his point across to the thick-headed busy-bodies, perhaps in expectation of a miracle. Maybe the prospect of being eaten by some local crocodiles would prove to be more persuasive. Duterte has his hands full in trying to turn his nation around, eradicating drugs and corruption, fighting insurgents and terrorists and expanding economic opportunity. There’s also the problem of Chinese aggression into their territory. He has neither appetite or time for their self-serving meddling... https://rickwells.us/duterte-un-meddlers-crocodiles/

{ observer.com ~ 1Propaganda output from terror groups has had a lower-key feel so far this year in terms of volume and overt tone... but that doesn’t mean we should rest easy—much of it, after all, has focused on bringing divergent terrorist factions together into a supergroup of sorts. Al-Qaeda’s persistent calls for unification—a troubling enough campaign in a post-caliphate world—come as a UN Security Council report notes that as ISIS “continues to transform into a terror organization with a flat hierarchy, with cells and affiliates increasingly acting autonomously,” al-Qaeda “has remained remarkably resilient” and in several regions “poses a greater threat” than ISIS. “Some members of both organizations have been willing and able to support each other in the preparation of attacks,” added the report. “Therefore, the potential convergence of both networks, at least in some regions, is a potential new threat.” This while al-Qaeda propaganda “continues to highlight a new generation of potential leaders,” including Osama bin Laden’s son Hamza, “in an apparent attempt to project a younger image to its sympathizers.”...  http://observer.com/2018/03/are-al-qaeda-and-isis-about-to-form-a-terrorist-supergroup/?utm_campaign=national-politics&utm_content=2018-13-03-12524997&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=channel-national-politics-distribution

These mainly involve Secretary of State Tillerson leaving because he confirmed that the UK assassinations were the work of the Russians. Never mind that 90% of Trump's comments on the subject said the same thing but the media predictably focused on some ambiguous phrasing at the very end. And the one outlet that chose to make Gina Haspel the story is predictably painting her as controversial because she's mean to Islamic terrorists.

I don't think anyone is too surprised. Clapper ended up on CNN. And usually there's some sort of preexisting relationship there... Government insiders cultivate media contacts. They build up a relationship by leaking the information they want out there. And there's the understanding that when they leave the government, there might be some sort of expert or commentator slot available for them. Not always, but if they're important enough. And as Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper was certainly important. Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper allegedly leaked information to CNN early last year regarding the classified briefings given to then President-Elect Donald Trump and President Barrack liar-nObama on the salacious dossier claiming the Russians had compromising information on the president-elect, according to government sources, who noted the evidence of the leak was collected during the House Intelligence Committee’s Russia investigation...   https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/269584/clapper-leaked-obama-dossier-briefing-cnn-daniel-greenfield

by Derek Hunter 
{ townhall.com } ~ There’s a great scene in “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me” where Dr. Evil is talking to the President, played by Tim Robbins, and he threatens to blow up cities with a laser from the moon unless he gets $100 billion dollars. Robbins, angry, turns to his generals and says, “I can't believe we're gonna pay that madman. I got nukes out the ying-yang. Just let me launch one, for God's sake.” One of the generals responds, “Sir. Are you suggesting that we blow up the moon?” The President then says, “Would you miss it? Would you miss it?”

Of course we would miss the moon, but if you replace “moon” with “California,” the answer, at least for me, would be different. 

I don’t want to nuke California well…ok, I don’t, but I wouldn’t mind it if it were to remove itself from the United States because, well, it’s essentially trying to. 

Our most populous state now has laws on the books that make it illegal to aid federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in apprehending people in the country illegally. They are willing to punish people for helping law enforcement apprehend criminals, essentially forcing citizens to aid and abet criminals. 

In defense of these laws, the Mayor of Oakland called the idea of enforcing our national sovereignty “racist,” because everything is racist now.

The Attorney General of California said, “California is in the business of public safety. We're not in the business of deportations,” which it wasn’t being asked to do.

The Governor declared enforcing federal immigration law in his state “is basically going to war against the state of California, the engine of the American economy.”

There is no doubt California has a strong economy, as their leadership likes to remind everyone, it is the 6th largest in the world. But so what? We’d survive without it. 

More importantly, a lot of bad ideas and bad politicians come out of California, and the state is overrun with at least 3 million illegal aliens. Let them all go, set them free. 

Imagine a country without Maxine Waters having a say vote over our laws, or Jerry Brown having no influence over your life. Sounds pretty good to me. 

There is a movement in California for secession, small as it may be, we should help them. They’ll be fine, we’ll be fine, who cares?

While we’re at it, and since we seem to be heading for it anyway, we could head off a lot of problems by splitting the country in two – the east and the west – and just calling it a day. Liberals, since they don’t really have any respect for the history of this country or the Constitution, can have the west, the rest of us can have the east. It would require a lot of people to move, so we set the date for 10 years from now and help everyone on their way. We split the debt, wish each other well, and go about our business. If a liberal doesn’t want to leave New York or Boston they are free to stay with the understanding that the Constitution will be adhered to as written, and if a conservative doesn’t want to leave California they can stay but know they will be taxed heavily to subsidize religious symbols being soaked in bodily fluids and to set up medically supervised heroin dens.

No dual citizenship, just a decade to make a choice between an individual liberty focused free market and a collective socialist attempt at the ever-elusive Utopia leftists think they can regulate their way to. 

We’d all be happier, no longer having to fight over basic, unambiguous birth-based rights protected by our founding document and the idea that rights are granted by government. Wouldn’t that be nice?

California might be on to something, they want all the benefits of being a part of the United States without any of the responsibilities; they want to be independent. Maybe we should let them, and allow others to join them, if they so choose. 

You could always visit, and we’d still have trade, so you’d barely notice the difference. But you wouldn’t have these elitist snobs demanding you act a certain way, believe what they believe, and accept their demands or find yourself under their boot. 

If we let California go, and we split the country along ideological lines we could fend off what seems to be looming just over the horizon, which is an ugly divorce. We simply don’t get along anymore and want completely different, irreconcilable things. Manifest Destiny was a nice idea, and we made it work for a long time, but it’s heading toward not working anymore. So maybe we let California go we’d all be a lot happier, if not better off.

I remember as a kid being told California was going to fall into the ocean, be destroyed by an earthquake. If it continues down the path is heading now, there’s a chance it will be the whole country that gets destroyed. Better to part as friends. 

And honestly, would you miss it?

{ rickwells.us } ~ If anyone needed any more evidence that the Mueller “investigation” is a political witch hunt and nothing more... they need only listen to the words of the corrupt DOJ official who named his good friend and political comrade in arms to the predatory position, deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. In an interview published Monday in USA Today, the same day that the House Intelligence Committee ending their investigation with no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion ever being discovered, and with the same failure to find evidence in the almost year-long Mueller probe, Rosenstein declined to put a stop to the disruptive and treacherous nonsense. He stated he doesn’t believe “there is any justification” for ending the railroad fishing trip. After all, it’s just taxpayer money and Trump is a threat to the establishment. It has to continue until he’s brought down, however long that takes... Trump you need to fire him and Mueller, just like Comey.  https://rickwells.us/rosenstein-admits-witch-hunt/

{ lidblog.com } ~ I have to admit, over the weekend when I heard Vladimir Putin blame Russian Jews for interfering with the 2016 US presidential election... an uneasy chill ran down my spine. In an interview with Meghan Kelly Saturday night, Putin placed the election meddling blame on certain ethnic groups, including the Jews “Maybe they’re not even Russians,” he said. “Maybe they’re Ukrainians, Tatars, Jews, just with Russian citizenship. Even that needs to be checked. Maybe they have dual citizenship. Or maybe a green card. Maybe it was the Americans who paid them for this work. How do you know? I don’t know.” As an American Jew whose family immigrated to the United States from Russia and Ukraine, Putin’s words initially horrified me, but I now realize that the time to be horrified is over. It is high time to fess up and tell the world the truth...  https://lidblog.com/fess-up-we-do-run-the-world/

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross discusses the recently imposed steel and aluminum tariffs and America’s future trade relationships... with all nations including the very protectionist European Union. The protectionist EU hypocrites simply cannot afford to go toe-to-toe with the U.S. on trade. The UK is in the process of formalizing their Brexit terms; the EU essentially ‘Germany’ needs to find a way to make up for the lost revenue billions in taxes from the UK economy. Currently the UK pays Brussels approximately a billion per month on a $2.5 trillion economy; that will stop. Brexit reduces the overall EU GDP by $2.5 trillion. German Chancellor Angela Merkel cannot -and will not- challenge President Trump. In addition to being politically weak, Merkel has attached her economy to expansive environmental regulations Paris treaty, though she is now attempting to pale down those regulations. Chancellor Merkel cannot afford to run the risk of losing any access to the U.S. market...  https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/03/12/lou-dobbs-trade-and-tariff-discussion-with-commerce-secretary-wilbur-ross/.

The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Trump asked Tillerson to step aside on Friday, but other reports say the secretary of state learned the news over Twitter.

{ jpost.com } ~ US President Donald Trump unceremoniously fired his secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, on Tuesday morning... in part over "disagreements" on the Iran nuclear deal and amid a critical negotiation with Europe over its fate.  Speaking to the press, Trump said that he had been mulling Tillerson's ouster for some time. "When you look at the Iran deal – I think it's terrible," he said. "I guess Tillerson thought it was okay. I wanted to either break it, or do something, and he felt a little bit differently. So we were not really thinking the same. With Mike Pompeo, we have a very similar thought process." Tillerson's State Department is currently leading talks with Britain, France and Germany, hoping to come to an understanding on the future of the Iran deal by within the next eight weeks– a deadline set by Trump in January for the European powers to renegotiate major terms of the non-proliferation agreement...  http://www.jpost.com/American-Politics/Iran-deal-imperiled-as-Trump-ousts-Secretary-Tillerson-544969?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=13-3-2018&utm_content=iran-deal-imperiled-as-trump-ousts-secretary-tillerson-544969

Iron Eyes Lizzy Is 'Not Running' for President

Elizabeth dinky-Warren over her tenuous claims of Native American ancestry, calling her Sacaja-dinky-Warren and Fauxcahontas. Well, here’s a new one that may fit best of all: Iron Eyes Lizzy. Readers of a certain age will recall Iron Eyes Cody, the actor known for portraying Native Americans in numerous Hollywood films, as well as shedding a tear in one of the country’s most well-known television public service announcements, “Keep America Beautiful.” Well, Ole Iron Eyes was actually Espera Oscar de Corti, an Italian-American pretending to be an Indian — not just in commercials and movies but in real life. His ruse lasted until his half-sister outed him decades later, though he lied about it so long he may have actually convinced himself he was Indian.

            So you can see why that behavior fits dinky-Warren quite well. As we’ve noted, dinky-Warren has used this supposed ancestry for gain in both her academic and political careers. That continues to this day.
            She’s back in the news this weekend after making the rounds to repeat her talking points on all the Sunday morning shows. Public service announcement: dinky-Warren is not running for president and she will not take a DNA test to prove her ancestral claims. “I’m not running for president,” dinky-Warren maintained, though she declined to commit to serving a full six-year Senate term if re-elected this November. Of her supposed heritage, she insisted, “I know who I am because of what my mother and my father told me. … It’s part of who I am and no one’s ever going to take that away.”
            Her claims of ancestry and of not running in 2020 are equally believable. Which is to say, not at all. “I am not running for president” just means she hasn’t yet declared her candidacy, but she’ll be beating the class-warfare drums regardless. So just keep an eye out for that dinky-Warren 2020 Wigwam near you.   ~The Patriot Pos

3 Questions Congress Should Answer

{ dailysignal.com } ~ Having failed last year to pass legislation undoing liar-nObamacare’s damage... congressional Republicans now are reportedly looking to spend billions of additional tax dollars bailing out insurers offering liar-nObamacare coverage, rather than dealing with the real problems that are driving up costs. The money would be added to a government funding bill that Congress plans to take up this month. The motivation for this abrupt about-face appears to be an election-year panic attack. Republicans fear that insurance companies will, once again, announce large premium increases for liar-nObamacare coverage this fall—just before November’s elections. Apparently, congressional Republicans are being persuaded by industry lobbyists that they can “buy down” premiums by giving insurers billions of dollars in taxpayer money...   http://dailysignal.com/2018/03/13/3-questions-congress-answer-bailing-obamacare/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWVRKbE5XVXdZVGhoTjJZNSIsInQiOiI2QzZpZmx0UkJIR3ZsaDFiQWhocnJlbVwvVURTWXNqMzVVdUtla09kYVJ0dDZFTHZib0c1bDFHcHJzUFwvekdxQXlLREtFRms2OHB5SkRYajZ4TkxPNDFVVjZmV0IyRERlR1BnWjd0TXIyRTFzRXNHeGdETTNYOG45XC9OUFh2UFRTMCJ9

{ legalinsurrection.com } ~ The Democrats are desperate, aren’t they? Reports have surfaced the past few days that say liberals have started to pressure Democrats... to use the removal of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) as a campaign point for the 2020 election. The Daily Caller pointed out last Friday the idea came from Brian Fallon, the spokesman for failed Democrat presidential candidate liar-Hillary Clinton’s campaign, back in January. The prospective campaign talking point really picked up last week after MSNBC host Chris Hayes asked Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), someone who has been propped up as a possible 2020 candidate, if America should have ICE. She responded that “ICE has a purpose, ICE has a role, ICE should exist.”...  https://legalinsurrection.com/2018/03/liberals-pressure-democrats-to-use-ice-removal-in-2020-election/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LegalInsurrection+%28Le%C2%B7gal+In%C2%B7sur%C2%B7rec%C2%B7tion%29

As she will tell you, as a Muslim, she could not understand why she was supposed to hate Christians and Jews. Now she speaks and writes about the dangers of Islam. For that, she lives under a fatwa-a sentence of death from some Islamic cleric somewhere in the world. I am proud to say that I have met Nonie at several events and occasionally exchange emails with her. I am posting her latest article for the Gatestone Institute. It is well worth reading. In this article, Nonie defends America from the attacks of so many people who not only live outside the US but also within it. She reminds us that millions of people are constantly trying to get into this white-majority country that is supposedly so racist. She wonders why there is such much bashing of white people even by white liberals in America today by some who dream of a day when whites will be gone. Nonie realizes, as I do, that whites are not the enemy of non-whites.

Pineland to D-Day

Phillip Kupelian at his home in Falmouth 2018
 
{ tommclaughlin.blogspot.com } ~ Ninety-four-year-old Phillip Kupelian lives alone in the Falmouth, Maine house he built himself. Last Saturday I interviewed him there about two things: Growing up on the grounds of what was then called the Maine School for the Feeble-Minded in Gray, Maine, and his experience in Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944.
home-aerial-campus.jpg
Pineland Farms today
 
Phillip was born at what’s now called Pineland Farms in1924 because his father was a doctor on staff there when it was renamed the Pownal State School. Phillip couldn’t attend local schools because roads were bad and horse-drawn sleighs were his only transportation. He and his older brother were sent to stay with their maternal grandparents in Randolph, Maine (near Augusta) to attend school until Gray constructed plowable roads.

Phillip’s father, Nessib, had fled Ottoman Turkey around 1915 to escape the Armenian genocide. Out of 2 million Armenian Christians in Turkey, 1.5 million were slaughtered by Muslim Turks. The rest, including Nessib, took flight. In Maine, Nessib attended medical school at Bowdoin College and practiced at the Maine School for the Feeble-Minded. He was made superintendent from 1938 to 1953. “Coming to Maine, to America, was the greatest gift a father could give his son,” said Phil.

Scene from Armenian genocide
 
When I asked about eugenic practices at Pineland, Phillip didn’t know what eugenics was. I explained it was sterilization of the “feeble-minded” which was done at Pineland and many other venues in early 20th century America. He said he remembered hearing it discussed, but that’s all. In 1912, eight mixed-race squatters forcibly evicted from Maine’s Malaga Island were sent to Pineland.There they were probably sterilized along with several hundred other Mainers. Eighteen bodies from Malaga’s cemetery were re-buried there as well.
20-_MG_2492-Malaga-History-Plaque.jpg
From its inception in 1908, Pineland was designed to be self-sufficient, a town in itself almost. It had an operating farm, a coal-fired steam generator, its own water system, and laundry. Phillip became quite interested in all of that so after high school he went off to study steam and diesel engineering at the Wentworth Institute in Boston. Then World War II broke out and he was drafted. After boot camp in Newport, Rhode Island he went across the Atlantic to England on the crew of LCI 506 — one of over 900 LCIs, or “Landing Craft Infantry” built in the USA for amphibious invasions. They were flat-bottomed, 158 feet long, and 23 feet wide.
lanning-03.jpg
No one on the 26-man crew of the 506 had any experience beyond US territorial waters when it set out in January, 1944. At a 1996 reunion, Ensign Phil G. Goulding, described his first time aboard the 506 being greeted by its 31-year-old skipper, a Lieutenant J. G. named Albers:

“Goulding, do you know anything?”

“No sir,” I said. “I just got out of midshipman's school. I don't know anything at all.”

Al Albers smiled. He pounded the wardroom table with his open hand. “Thank god for that,” he said. “Nobody on this ship knows anything and I was afraid those idiots were going to send me someone to spoil it. Siddown and have a cup of coffee.”

He turned to the others. “By God that's great,” he said. “He doesn't know anything. By God that's great.”

The crew that didn’t know anything nonetheless made it to England across the stormy Atlantic, seasick much of the way. Then, assigned at the last minute to a British command, they crossed the English Channel six months later on D-Day and delivered two hundred British infantry to Rose Beach — right between Omaha Beach and Juno Beach. The 506 hit a German mine just as it hit the beach which blew off one of its two ramps and tore a big hole in the bow. Soldiers got off safely though, and the ship limped back to England for repairs carrying wounded Allied troops and German POWs with them.

LCI 506 circled
 
Fifteen million Americans fought in World War II but there aren’t many left today. Phillip, one of the few, was modest about his wartime service. Most of what I learned about LCI 506 and what it did came from my online research. My own father was aboard one of the other 5000 ships that crossed the channel on D-Day, so I have a personal interest in that largest invasion in history of the world.

Phillip returned to Pineland after the war and met his wife, Margaret, who lived nearby. They were married from 1947 until she died in 2012. They had one daughter who lives in Colorado now, and three grandchildren. Phillip is still quite active and goes back to Pineland every couple of weeks to take part in a veterans program housed there. “It’s quite different now,” he said, and invited me for a guided tour after all this snow melts.

{ foxnews.com } ~ The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence said Monday it found “no evidence of collusion... coordination or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russians,” as its Russia investigation starts to come to a close. Rep. Mike Conaway, R-Texas, who has led the committee’s bipartisan investigation into Russian meddling and potential collusion with Trump campaign associates during the 2016 presidential election, announced Monday that the panel had completed a more than 150-page draft report, with its initial findings and recommendations. “We have found no evidence of collusion, coordination, or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russians,” the committee said in a statement Monday...  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/03/12/house-intel-finds-no-evidence-collusion-between-trump-campaign-and-russia.html

Gordon Chang: 85% Chance North Korea

Asia expert Gordon Chang thinks there's a very good chance President Trump's upcoming meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un... will result in a Kim promise to give up his nuclear ambitions. Chang also predicts that if the United States keeps the pressure on against the Communist regime and its allies, Kim will be likely to fulfill such a promise. During an appearance on Fox News Sunday morning, Chang -- an author, blogger, television pundit, and Daily Beast columnist -- told host Leland Vittert that North Korea is at its weakest point since the end of the Korean War. "The money flows are not there. We've see, for instance, that Office Number 39 -- which is the Kim family slush fund -- is running out of cash according to Chinese sources, and South Koreans say that the regime in Pyongyang is not going to have any more foreign currency reserves by October at the current rate of depletion. That's a real indication that the sanctions are working. And that's the reason why I think that Kim Jong-Un actually has come to the table right now -- because he wants sanctions relief."...   https://pjmedia.com/trending/gordon-chang-85-chance-north-korea-crippled-sanctions-will-promise-give-nukes/?utm_source=PJMCoffeeBreak&utm_medium=email&utm_term=March2018

It’s customary for liar-Clinton, anytime she has an audience in front of her, to rewrite the events of the election and make excuses for why the American people didn’t elect a treasonous career criminal intent on our destruction as their leader. This time she blames it on the stupid Americans, the unsophisticated rednecks that President Trump appealed to...Lock her up.  https://rickwells.us/clinton-americans-racist-sexist/

{ dallasnews.com } ~ Dallas County prosecutors are investigating whether someone committed fraud in the handling... 
of more than 1,200 mail-in ballot applications for the 2018 elections. The applications, which came from West Dallas, Grand Prairie and parts of Oak Cliff, generated 459 ballots that were considered by a county board that reviews provisional and questionable ballots. The ballots came from the same areas where voter fraud was alleged in municipal elections last year.

by Pat Buchanan 
{ townhall.com } ~ Unless there is a late surge for Communist Party candidate Pavel Grudinin, who is running second with 7 percent, Vladimir Putin will be re-elected president of Russia for another six years on March 18.

Then we must decide whether to continue on course into a second Cold War, or engage Russia, as every president sought to do in Cold War I.

For our present conflict, Vladimir Putin is not alone at fault. His actions have often been reactions to America's unilateral moves.

After the Soviet Union collapsed, we brought all of the Warsaw Pact members and three former republics of the USSR into our military alliance, NATO, to corral Russia. How friendly was that?

Putin responded with his military buildup in the Baltic.

George W. Bush abrogated the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty that Richard Nixon had negotiated, Putin responded with a buildup of the offensive missiles he put on display last week.

The U.S. helped to instigate the Maidan Square coup that dumped over the elected pro-Russian government in Ukraine.

To prevent the loss of his Sebastopol naval base on the Black Sea, Putin countered by annexing the Crimean Peninsula.

After peaceful protests in Syria were put down by Bashar Assad, we sent arms to Syrian rebels to overthrow the Damascus regime.

Seeing his last naval base in the Med, Tartus, imperiled, Putin came to Assad's aid and helped him win the civil war.

The Boris Yeltsin years are over.

Russia is acting again as a great power. And she sees us as a nation that slapped away her hand, extended in friendship in the 1990s, and then humiliated her by planting NATO on her front porch.

Yet, what is also clear is that Putin hoped and believed that, with the election of Trump, Russia might be able to restore respectful if not friendly relations with the United States.

Clearly, Putin wanted that, as did Trump.

Yet, with the Beltway hysteria over hacking of the DNC and John Podesta emails, and the Russophobia raging in this capital, we appear to be paralyzed when it comes to engaging with Russia.

The U.S. political system, said Putin this week, "has been eating itself up." Is his depiction that wide of the mark?

What is the matter with us?

Three years after Nikita Khrushchev sent tanks into Budapest to drown the Hungarian revolution in blood, Eisenhower was hosting him on a 10-day visit to the USA.

Two years after the Berlin Wall went up, and eight months after Khrushchev installed missiles in Cuba, Kennedy reached out to the Soviet dictator in his widely praised American University speech.

Lyndon Johnson met with Russian President Alexei Kosygin in Glassboro, New Jersey, just weeks after we almost clashed over Moscow's threat to intervene in the Arab-Israeli War of 1967.

Six months after Leonid Brezhnev sent tank armies to crush the Prague Spring in August 1968, an inaugurated Nixon was seeking detente.

In those years, no matter who was in the White House or Kremlin, the U.S. establishment favored engagement with Moscow. It was the right that was skeptical or hostile.

Again, what is the matter with this generation?

True, Vladimir Putin is an autocrat seeking a fourth term, like FDR.

But what Russian leader, save Yeltsin, has not been an autocrat? And Russians today enjoy freedoms of speech, assembly, religion, travel, politics, and the press that the generations before 1989 never knew.

China, not Russia, has the more repressive single-party Communist state.

Indeed, which of these U.S. allies shows greater tolerance than Putin's Russia? The Philippines of Rodrigo Duterte, the Egypt of Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, the Turkey of President Erdogan, or the Saudi Arabia of Prince Mohammad bin Salman?

Russia is nowhere near the strategic or global threat the Soviet Union presented. As Putin conceded this week, with the breakup of the USSR, his nation "lost 23.8 percent of its national territory, 48.5 percent of its population, 41 percent of its gross domestic product and 44.6 percent of its military capacity."

How would Civil War Unionists have reacted if the South had won independence and then, to secure the Confederacy against a new invasion, Dixie entered into an alliance with Great Britain, gave the Royal Navy bases in New Orleans and Charleston, and allowed battalions of British troops to deploy in Virginia?

Japan negotiates with Putin's Russia over the southern Kuril Islands lost at the end of World War II. Bibi Netanyahu has met many times with Putin, though he is an ally of Assad, whom Bibi would like to see ousted, and has a naval and air base not far from Israel's border.

We Americans have far more fish to fry with Russia than Bibi.

Strategic arms control. De-escalation in the Baltic, Ukraine and the Black Sea. Ending the war in Syria. North Korea. Space. Afghanistan. The Arctic. The war on terror.

Yet all we seem to hear from our elite is endless whining that Putin has not been sanctioned enough for desecrating "our democracy."

Get over it.

Tillerson Is Out 
gExhmJY1IACsq9hlPHGq-z5QAlRVHJtiDmwEtsHKXt01TBDDtutzhzr32vldRErzhSOSvDOVddzsB_8ATAjuv2O6_2zI5J2me6p3Yr8v2lq0Atlj-hmRdza9fFumiuI=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450by Political Editors:  It has been rumored numerous  times over the last nine months or so, but now those rumors are fact. President Donald Trump has removed Rex Tillerson as his secretary of state. It was no secret that Trump and Tillerson did not see eye-to-eye on several issue, but a spokesman for Tillerson said that he was not expecting to be let go and “had every intention of staying.” In fact, he reportedly found out from Trump’s tweet and is “unaware of the reason” for his firing. We believe there are two keys: North Korea and Iran.

            Trump has tapped current CIA Director Mike Pompeo to step in as head of the State Department, and he nominated current CIA Deputy Director Gina Haspel to replace Pompeo. In his announcement, Trump noted Pompeo’s impressive record of service in both the military and Congress, and he also highlighted the fact that Haspel “will be the CIA’s first-ever female director, a historic milestone.” Trump then thanked Tillerson for his service and wished him and his family well. And so ends the somewhat rocky term for Tillerson at the State Department — a term that was still light years ahead of that of either liar-Hillary Clinton or John hanoi-Kerry.

{ westernjournal.com } ~ Quietly, out of sight of those who follow the national media, Republicans are gaining in five key Senate races for seats now held by Democrats... in states Donald Trump carried. In West Virginia, Indiana, Missouri, Montana and North Dakota, Democrat incumbents are behind either a “generic” Republican candidate or the actual likely GOP nominee. Each of these states has a strong Republican bent and, in some, the Democrat incumbent won almost by accident six years ago. In each state, the Democrat incumbent was elected claiming to be above party and pledging to overcome the partisan gridlock in Washington. Every one of them promptly went to the Senate and voted the party line against the Trump tax cuts. This vote, more than any other, has come to epitomize how fraudulent their declarations of independence are...  https://www.westernjournal.com/dick-morris-gop-poised-for-big-senate-win/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=WJBreaking&utm_campaign=breaking&utm_content=western-journal

{ thepoliticalinsider.com } ~ FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller is nearly done with his obstruction probe of Donald Trump... but there’s a very sneaky reason he could hold off on bringing any charges against the President. In short, it’s because he wants more people to talk.  As reported by Bloomberg Politics, Mueller could set the obstruction case aside in order to finish investigating alleged Russian collusion and the hacking of Democrats. If Mueller were to bring obstruction charges early, it could encourage witnesses to be “less cooperative” in other parts of the probe. Three key witnesses Mueller hopes to interview include Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Ivanka Trump. For the President’s part, on Sunday Trump spokesperson Raj Shah told ABC News that Trump “intends to” meet with Mueller for an interview under oath...

President Trump had recently described mad-Waters as being a low IQ individual, something that nobody has yet presented any type of documentation to prove otherwise. mad-Waters has her bachelor’s degree in sociology. It’s not rocket science but it does come in handy when you need some initials after your name and plan a career redistributing other people’s wealth.  Becerra knows that President Trump was in Pennsylvania making a speech for a House candidate there but, being the lying Democrat that he is, indicated that he did so from 2,000 miles away “because he is probably too afraid to say it to her face.”...  https://rickwells.us/allies-maxine-waters-trump/

MAGAnomics 

QTNLZimIsDNrNsn0n-kqn6E48EtICuuJkOoZ2guR8Lb5tTKAFE-W4k2lVaEmj0ZyrR5uocBLC52e12cJygp5G0AhId_o9RR2KCH_jD08AQl5OveM8ItcQFIe4x9YYj0=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450by Arnold Ahlert:  “Trump should continue to make American producers more competitive in global markets through tax, regulatory, energy, and other pro-America policy changes that bring jobs and capital back to the United States. … Steel and aluminum import tariffs will work decisively against this goal.” —from a column by Larry Kudlow, Arthur Laffer and Stephen Moore

            To tariff or not to tariff, that is the question. Or is it? Maybe the real question is, what about Lisdoonvarna? Despite nine out of 10 people in this Irish town of 300 residents voting against it, the Irish government signed a contract with a local hotel to provide residences to “asylum seekers” and “refugees” that will increase the town’s population by more than a third.
            Likely, this is just the beginning of Ireland’s commitment to a plan approved in 2015 by EU interior ministers, aimed at distributing at least 120,000 “migrants” among EU member states — utterly irrespective of whether those countries want them or not. Ireland’s geographic isolation relative to the rest of the EU had spared it — until now.
            It gets worse. Two weeks ago, it was revealed the Irish government has been paying “journalists” to promote Project Ireland 2040, a plan to boost Ireland’s 4.7 million population by another million — courtesy of mass migration. In other words, a staggering 21% of Ireland’s population will be comprised of migrants within 22 years.
            Last week, German Chancellor Angela Merkel finally admitted that “no-go zones” exist in Germany. She should know. Merkel won Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year” in 2015, largely for her open-borders stance that allowed more than one million “asylum seekers” and “refugees” into Germany. Now she’s decided it’s time to get tough on crime.
            Sweden is another nation looking to crack down on crime, but it too has already surrendered certain areas to immigrant gangs, and police officers themselves have been subjected to attacks — including one where a hand grenade was tossed at a police station. In fact, hand grenades have become a “trend” in gang attacks in Sweden.
            In the last 18 years France’s Jewish population has declined from 555,000 to 500,000. Why? “There’s no Jewish future there,” asserts Steve Eisenberg, co-founder of the Jewish International Connection of New York. “You can’t walk in Paris wearing a yarmulke. You’re taking your life in your hands.
            In Italy’s March 4 election, a majority of voters opted for anti-immigrant, populist and stridently anti-European Union parties over the status quo. As columnist Angelo Codevilla put it, this is what happens “when voters are ruled by officials and associated corporate types who despise them.”
            What does any of the above have to do with collective handwringing over tariffs and the departure of Donald Trump’s economic adviser Gary Cohn? Because it’s collective handwringing by America’s very own “officials and associated corporate types” who despise us. “The prevailing wisdom on Wall Street and in Washington was that the departure of someone like Gary Cohn would be immediately catastrophic for the markets and the US economy,” asserts Charles Gasparino.
            Make that the prevailing globalist wisdom on Wall Street and in Washington.
            And who’s kidding whom with regard to wisdom? Wall Street elitists ran the entire global economy into a ditch in 2008, and Washington elitists bailed them out to the tune of $700 billion, courtesy of the taxpayer-funded Troubled Asset Relief Program. Moreover, the Federal Reserve gave elitists additional cushioning, courtesy of Quantitative Easing (QE), and a Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP) that ultimately precipitated a financial bonanza for the top 1%.
            ZIRP also precipitated a calamity for Main Street America, forced to endure a decade where anything remotely resembling safe-haven savings vehicles, protecting a lifetime’s worth of earnings, were eviscerated.
            And now, many of these same elitists are distraught because the current president doesn’t buy into their particular brand of “wisdom?
            Note that Mssrs. Kudlow, Laffer and Moore spoke of bringing jobs and capital back to the United States. What they didn’t speak to is why they left in the first place. For the globalist elites, there are no countries, only markets. There are no citizens, only workers and consumers. The preservation of a nation’s customs, culture, traditions, borders and language? Anachronistic concepts that must give way to one-world governance run by “enlightened” technocrats.
            Technocrats who also embrace open borders and mass immigration precisely because it undercuts the preservation of national identity.
            Furthermore, the globalist enterprise is strictly bottom line — if specific areas in “flyover America” must take the hit for the generalized  benefit of global profits, so be it. In short, global well-being trumps heartland catastrophe. Yet as columnist Michael Goodwin reminds us, those most critical of Trump’s approach “offer no solutions for the working class Americans left behind by the bipartisan push for globalization.
            Globalization with disastrous possibilities beyond economics and immigration. “We today confront a Chinese Communist dictatorship and superpower that seeks to displace America as first power on earth and to drive the U.S. military back across the Pacific,” writes columnist Pat Buchanan. By the way, he notes, China’s “$375 billion trade surplus with us in 2017 far exceeded the entire Chinese defense budget.”
            Are Americans content with trade policies that subsidize the Chinese quest for world domination? The same Chinese “superb at free-trade rhetoric and even more superb at highly protectionist behavior,” as Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross put it at the Davos World Economic Forum in January?
            As for tariffs, misinformation abounds. America already imposes  12,000 of them on a variety of products. Is that a lot? At the same forum, Ross challenged the assembled group of globalist elites to name a nation less protectionist than America. He got no responses.
            “For the past 30+ years, DC politicians have been selling out the U.S. economy to corporate interests, Wall Street and multinationals,” writes  ConservativeTreeHouse columnist Sundance. “President Trump is simply saying ‘no more,’ and finally putting a stop to it. They hate him. He doesn’t care.”
            He shouldn’t, because that sellout has been beyond egregious. “Global debt levels soared to a record high of $233 trillion in the third quarter of 2017,” CNBC reported in January. Global debt levels engineered by the same elitists responsible for the 2008 crash, many of whom now rail against Trump’s “ignorant” economic policies.
            Trump’s tariffs — targeted and negotiable — represent a classic shot across the globalist bow. No matter how much the elites despise Trump and his agenda, he is determined to take a jackhammer to their “prevailing wisdom” that ultimately came down to two corollaries, one spoken and one unspoken. The spoken one? Wall Street and Washington are “too big to fail.” The unspoken one? The rest of America is “too deplorable to matter.
            No longer. “MAGAnomics” will play itself out, no matter how often $1,000 bonuses are dismissed as crumbs, tax cuts are labeled  “catastrophic,” or “putting Americans first” is derided as delusional or racist.
            The real delusion has been assuming millions of Americans were content to be cogs in a globalist machine, mollified by a “new normal” that hollowed out their cities and towns — along with their lives. The hardhats who spoke at Trump’s tariff signing ceremony humanized working Americans. The same working Americans globalists would rather objectify.
            If there is a better reason why Donald Trump is president, one is hard pressed to imagine what it is.

{ rickwells.us } ~ AM Joy more closely resembled AM bitterness or hatred, with the bulldog mug of Joy Reid... and the unmistakable rants of mad-Maxine Waters following another wildly successful campaign rally by Donald Trump. It could have been worse, they could have had video of mad-Waters as well. She came on to fire back at President Trump for comments he made, particularly his accurate description of her as being “Low IQ.” mad-Waters doesn’t attempt to prove him wrong, so he’s likely got her number on that score, instead opting to dub President Trump with his own nickname of “Con Man Don.” As she’s busily firing off the insults and threats, mad-Waters makes a statement that actually goes to prove not only is she of a low intelligence quotient, but that she and her fellow corrupt Democrats are engaged in subversion of this President in their efforts to impeach him for reasons that still, after a year and a half haven’t been uncovered...    -https://rickwells.us/waters-mueller-dems-trump/.

{ frontpagemag.com } ~ After weeks of outrage at the close ties between top Democrats and Louis Farrakhan... the leader of an anti-Semitic hate group, the media finally condemned anti-Semitism by a top political official. President Trump and OMB Director Mick Mulvaney had referred to outgoing NEC Director Gary Cohn as a “globalist.” And “globalist,” according to Think Progress, the Huffington Post, Salon and Vox, is an “anti-Semitic slur.” Those are the same media outlets that had no problem using “globalist” as a slur when targeting Trump. The controversy over liar-nObama, Davis, scum-Keith Ellison, Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory has played out in the Jewish and conservative media. But no one in the mainstream media is willing to ask why liar-nObama, the No. 2 man at the DNC, the Congressional Black Caucus and the next generation of intersectional feminist leaders are comfortable hanging out with a racist who suggested that Jews use pot to make black men gay. But the media will only discuss anti-Semitism is when it serves its political agenda... https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/269553/lefts-fake-anti-semitism-and-its-real-anti-daniel-greenfield

{ defenddemocracy.org } ~ Deadly attacks by the Islamic State are calling into question Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s declaration of a “final victory” over the so-called Caliphate... With national elections set for May, further attacks could threaten Abadi’s bid for a second term while benefiting pro-Iranian forces.  On February 18, the Islamic State claimed responsibility for an ambush near the city of Hawija, in Kirkuk province, which killed 27 members of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), or al-Hashd al-Shaabi in Arabic. A week later, Islamic State fighters killed two policemen and wounded another who were guarding the Khabbaz oil field near Kirkuk. The next day, an attempted suicide bombing injured three PMF fighters at the Kirkuk headquarters of Asaib Ahl al-Haq, an Iranian-backed Shiite militia that is now part of the PMF. Asaib Ahl al-Haq is under the effective control of the Quds Force, the external operations branch of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Asaib Ahl al-Haq played a lethal role in Iraq’s anti-U.S. insurgency, claiming 6,000 attacks against U.S. forces. It opened its first Kirkuk headquarters in October 2017... http://www.defenddemocracy.org/media-hit/amir-toumaj-the-islamic-state-is-far-from-finished-in-iraq/

{ thenewamerican.com } ~ An assortment of new restrictions on the Second Amendment in Florida also launched an attack on the Fourth Amendment, as well... As The New American noted last week, Florida’s new “red flag” law abrogates the Fourth Amendment on the way to violating the Second Amendment: Simply put, someone who thinks someone else might be a danger to himself or others can present his arguments to a judge who then, based upon those arguments, is free to decide whether the state police armed with guns and badges can forcibly remove privately and legally owned firearms from that person’s possession. The “red flag” provisions do not allow the person charged to defend himself or even to know who his accuser might be. Further, he must prove his innocence in order to get his confiscated firearms returned to him. He is “guilty until he proves himself innocent.” All in violation of the Fourth Amendment, which states: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”... https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/28472-red-flag-warning-states-confiscating-guns-by-ignoring-4th-amendment

Dems & Leftmedia Fools to Preach Against GOP Tax Cuts 

QPSdUG8PMKcdftLoKz75r-eTQ2NxEC8Gxo_9sTblvU03BDa-5O0aDBZlBq2UkJBlNhl9Z-r7mevTfUa6xTlBExO32GrQidf6U9WuhuJf8VMXHIgd30xDnHfXeTxqHtI=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450by Political Editors:  There’s no question Democrats and their Leftmedia propaganda outlets don’t like the Republican tax cuts, because it means government is taking less money from of hard-working Americans. And less money equates to less control. But they can’t state their genuine reason for objecting so they attempt to either belittle the amount of money Americans save from tax cuts as mere “crumbs” or decry them as “unpatriotic” as House Minority Leader Nancy Pulosi (D-CA) infamously expressed.

            She altered her stance a bit this week, saying, “Certainly, we love when people get a bonus, and if they get a raise. But if it is so small in comparison — if the choice was made for corporate America and the top 1% in our society, at the expense of working families, something is wrong with this picture.” Middle-class Americans keeping more of their own money while wealthier Americans keeping more of theirs is not anybody doing anything at the expense of anybody else.
            Even the Leftmedia has struggled in its attempt to paint the tax cuts as bad for Americans. Case in point, The New York Times recently ran an article that sought to use a hypothetical middle class couple’s tax return to show that they would actually end up paying thousands more in taxes under the new law. The Times article stated, “Bottom line … the family would owe $3,896 more in taxes under the new law.” Bad, right?
            Not so fast. The Times, relying on TurboTax vice president Bob Meighan’s calculations, missed a significant deduction, a deduction that University of Chicago law professor Daniel Hemel noticed. The Times failed to calculate a deduction for the hypothetical couple from the new law based on the description of the couple being “self-employed.” Hemel tweeted, “NYT has a really nice infographic explaining the ways in which the new tax law will play out on the 1040. Unfortunately, the bottom line conclusion — that Samuel & Felicity will owe $3,896 more in taxes under the new law — appears to be wrong. They’ll actually owe less.” The Times later admitted that it’s calculations were off and that its hypothetical couple would actually come out on top by $43. But that’s just mere “crumbs,” we’ve been told.
            The truth is Democrats’ decision to resist and take a stand against the GOP’s obviously beneficial tax cuts has proven to be a politically foolish stunt. It was spitting into the wind, only to have it blow back in their faces. However, admitting they were wrong may be an even more costly defeat, so they are stuck trying to convince the vast majority of taxpaying Americans not to believe that the growing numbers on their paychecks are a good thing.  ~The Patriot Pos

What’s worse, aside from their criticism of his style, the media and establishment politicians have a deep-rooted hatred for Trump, who represents the end of their good old boy self-serving system and a return of power to the American people. She points out that as Kim continued to launch his missiles and conduct nuclear tests President Trump warned him he was in danger of experiencing “fire and fury like the world has never seen” and “that his nuclear button was bigger and more powerful than the dictator’s.”...   https://rickwells.us/judge-jeanine-trump-genius/

Foreign Office officials invited 1,800 female staff members to wear Islamic headscarves to mark World Hijab Day... The department gave away taxpayer-funded headscarves, claiming they symbolized "liberation, respect and security." Critics, citing the compulsory veiling of women in Islamic countries such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, said the garment is a symbol of male oppression. Tory MP Andrew Bridgen said, "I'd like to know whose bright idea this was. It is ridiculous, a complete waste of taxpayers' money and not the business of a government department. I can't see the Foreign Office promoting Christianity or the handing out of crosses." February 1. Max Hill QC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, declared  that it is "fundamentally wrong" to use the phrase "Islamist terrorism" to describe attacks carried out in Britain and elsewhere. Hill said that the word terrorism should not be attached "to any of the world religions" and that the term "Daesh-inspired terrorism" should be used instead. Tory MP Philip Davies blasted Hill for "pandering" to political correctness: "It might not be acceptable in the trendy metropolitan circles he moves in, but all he's doing is showing how out of touch he is with the public at large.

by ART MOORE 
{ wnd.com } ~ A lengthy, glowing New Yorker magazine profile on the anti-Trump “dossier” author, Christopher Steele, reported the former MI6 agent knew that his work was funded by the liar-Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

That claim conflicts with the FBI’s explicit statement in its October 2016 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance application that Steele was unaware of who financed his work for Fusion GPS, the opposition-research company hired by the Democrats’ law firm Perkins Coie, reports investigative reporter Sara Carter.

Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe has testified to Congress that the dossier was essential to obtaining the warrant to spy on former Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page.

New Yorker writer Jane Mayer wrote that several months after Steele was subcontracted by Fusion GPS in the spring of 2016, he learned his research was being jointly subsidized by the liar-Clinton campaign and the DNC.

But in a footnote on the warrant application to the FISA court on Oct. 21, 2016, the FBI stated “Source #1,” meaning Steele, was “never advised” as to “the motivation behind the research into Candidate #1’s Trump’s ties to Russia.”

Former Senator Tom Coburn provides the solution to how “we the people” and the states can finally wrest control from Washington insiders in “Smashing the DC Monopoly,” available at the WND Superstore.

Carter asks: “Did Steele lie to the FBI or did the FBI choose not to disclose this information to the secret court?”

Steele held personal animus toward Trump, and was “passionate” about ensuring the real estate billionaire did not become president, Senior Justice Department official Bruce Ohr informed the Justice Department, according to the House Intelligence Committee’s majority Republican memo, released Feb. 2. Ohr met multiple times with Steele, beginning in the summer of 2016.

Steele was suspended and then terminated by the FBI as a source after he disclosed to the media his relationship with the bureau. But Steele, the memo states, continued contact with the Justice Department through Ohr, who worked closely with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

Republican senators Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and rino-Lindsey Graham, a senior committee member, have named Steele in a criminal referral, accusing him of making false statements about “the distribution of claims contained in the dossier.”

Meanwhile, the former Russian double agent authorities believe was poisoned with a nerve agent in the U.K. last weekend has links to Steele, the London Daily Telegraph reported Thursday.

The Telegraph said Sergei Skripal, who remains in critical condition, was in close contact with a security consultant who worked for Steele. The paper said that if the Kremlin believed Skripal “might have helped with the compilation of the dossier, it could explain the motive for the assassination attempt in Salisbury town center.”

Steele: Dossier ‘unverified,’ ‘raw intelligence’

The former Trump campaign volunteer Page has denied all of the accusations made against him in the Steele dossier and has filed lawsuits against Buzzfeed and other media outlets for publishing the claims.

Powerline blogger Scott Johnson points out that the New Yorker feature by Jane Mayer, which “presents Steele as a left-liberal heartthrob,” doesn’t mention the fact that Steele is the defendant in several defamation lawsuits contesting the veracity of the dossier.

With the stakes raised for false testimony, Steele has downplayed the significance of his findings, noted former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy.

In a lawsuit by filed in London by Aleksej Gubarev, whom Steele accused of participating in Russian intelligence hacking, the former British spy testified the dossier is merely a compilation of bits of “raw intelligence” that were “unverified.”

Steele explained he passed along the information because it “warranted further investigation,” not because he could vouch for its truthfulness.

Powerline’s Johnson observed that the New Yorker’s Mayer “should have been especially interested in Steele’s disclaimer of the veracity of his dossier.”

Mayer wrote that she represented the New Yorker when it was among the “major press organs” that met with Steele “during the stretch run of a contentious presidential election.”

Deadline for answers on ‘dirty dossier’

In an interview Monday with Fox News, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., reacted to the New Yorker profile, calling it “more evidence about how dirty this dossier is.”

“The dossier on the face of it is ridiculous,” Nunes said. “The Russians had an operation against us, but they’ve always had an operation against the United States of America, going back for many, many years and many elections.”

Nunes told Fox Business’ Lou Dobbs Wednesday that top officials from the liar-nObama and Trump administrations have until Friday to answer a questionnaire to find out what they known about the Democrats’ funding of the dossier.

Nunes said his committee has received “quite a few” responses, noting the initial deadline was last Friday. A few extension requests were granted, he said, and there are a few individuals who never replied.

“If they don’t respond by the end of this week, then they will be getting subpoenaed to do a deposition,” Nunes warned.

Wednesday night, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said he is considering appointing a special counsel to probe the FBI and Justice Department investigations of alleged Trump campaign collusion with Russia in the 2016 election.

{ rickwells.us } ~ NBC propagandist Chuck Todd is increasingly seething, especially as he brings the interview to close... about the way President Trump addressed him as a “son of a bitch” during the PA rally. In typical form, rather than acknowledging the achievements of the President, Todd attempts to build a case against him. He’ll then act like an unspeakable wrong has been committed against him when Trump responds. Todd hijacks an interview with Treasury Secretary Mnuchin for his forum, steering the conversation away from Trump’s achievements on trade and North Korea onto the less-important issue of Trump’s nicknames for his opponents, first with mad-Maxine Waters. Mnuchin dodges the question as to whether a hypothetical staffer could say mad-Waters is “low IQ” and keep their job, saying that things are different with campaign rallies. Todd then produces his next “piece of evidence,” the statement by Trump against the antagonistic “fake news” media in attendance. Todd distorts what took place as Trump encouraging the rally attendees to boo the media, which doesn’t really require any encouragement, and imploring them to cheer the Korean dictator... https://rickwells.us/snarky-chuck-todd-trump/.

{ foxnews.com } ~ The White House announced a series of recommendations Sunday night meant to stop school shootings... including a full audit and review of the FBI tip line after warnings about a student who killed 17 people at a Florida high school last month were not acted upon. The administration did not call for immediately increasing the minimum age for buying long guns to 21, as President Trump had previously advocated. However, it did announce that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos would chair a federal commission on school safety to study the proposal. DeVos said in a statement that the commission would look at a "wide range" of ideas in order to ensure that "no student or family should ever have to live the horror of Parkland or Sandy Hook ever again.”...  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/03/11/white-house-backs-off-call-to-raise-minimum-age-to-buy-long-guns.html

Only Fools Believe North Korea

{ townhall.com } ~ To what shall North Korea's latest pronouncement to give up its nuclear weapons in exchange for certain "security" guarantees be compared?

Choose from one of the following familiar promises: Of course I'll respect you in the morning; I promise to pay you back; I'm from the government and I'm here to help. There are more but you get the idea.

It has always been this way with North Korea. It reaches an agreement and then breaks it when it suits, only to use the period when the agreement is in force to violate it and then create a false pretext to nullify it, all the while continuing to build a nuclear arsenal. North Korea then reaches another agreement, which, again, it violates and the cycle continues.

If North Korea were applying for a loan, no bank would lend it a dime because of its deplorable credit rating, yet the West, which often appears to bank more on hope than reality, continues to dole out food and other aid hoping good intentions change Pyongyang's behavior.

The Arms Control Association (ACA), "a national nonpartisan membership organization dedicated to promoting public understanding of and support for effective arms control policies," has compiled a list of North Korea's broken promises and behavior that includes selling missile and nuclear technology to Iran and other enemies of the United States. The list runs 37 pages.

"Following the collapse of this agreement in 2002, North Korea claimed that it had withdrawn from the NPT in January 2003 and once again began operating its nuclear facilities."

The pattern repeated again in 2003, the ACA found, during the Six-Party Talks involving the U.S., North Korea, China, Russia, South Korea and Japan. After two years of stalemate and one crisis after another, North Korea pledged in 2005 to abandon "all nuclear weapons and existing weapons programs" and promised to return to the NPT agreement.

By 2009, after what by then had become familiar disagreements over inspections leading to verification that North Korea was living up to its promises, Pyongyang violated the 2005 agreement by launching missiles and vowing never to return to talks, a pledge it repeated until this latest reported promise to hold new talks about abandoning its nuclear weapons.

Last November, President Trump properly returned North Korea to the list of state sponsors of terrorism. Pyongyang had been there before, but was removed from the list in 2008. Not that it had stopped sponsoring terrorism, but the West does these sorts of things from time to time, falsely believing that what free people do affects the behavior of tyrants and dictators. Apparently, we have forgotten that communists lie as a matter of policy and they aren't the only ones, as we have seen with Islamic fundamentalist regimes.

Assuming North Korea is now serious about talks following Kim Jong-un's promise to never abandon his nukes (that promise is more credible), what is likely to come of it? If history proves anything -- and it does -- the answer is nothing that will benefit South Korea, the rest of Asia and most especially the United States. But it will make us feel good for "trying." Kim knows this. It's probably why he will lead us down this dark road again, only to get mugged at the end of it.

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ White House Legislative Affairs Director Marc Short appears on Fox News to discuss the Steel and Aluminum tariffs... being implemented by President Trump to protect the U.S. steel and aluminum manufacturing industry. The Wall Street antagonists together with politicians purchased by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and K-Street lobbyists working on behalf of Wall Street, have vowed to fight President Trump’s trade initiatives. The steel and aluminum tariffs are the first in a series of trade actions by President Trump that he outlined during his candidacy. Wall Street politicians (globalists) are now engaged in a fight against Main Street economic and trade policy (nationalists). There are trillions at stake. The anger against the President over the steel/aluminum tariffs is nothing in comparison to what lies ahead; with a likely NAFTA withdrawal and other MAGAnomic trade initiatives looming on the horizon. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/03/10/white-house-legislative-affairs-director-marc-short-discusses-steel-and-aluminum-trade-tariffs/.

{ rickwells.us } ~ CNN’s marquis Trump-hater, Jim Acosta, questions Sen Elizabeth Warren about her claims to be of native American heritage... naturally, taking her dubious and unsubstantiated claims at face value. At the 5:53 mark of the video he asks her if she’s bothered by President Trump calling her Pocahontas and if she’s going to run for President in 2020. She carefully spins her response, saying, “Let me tell you my story,” never claiming that it is true, which actually does sound a lot like John Smith and Pocahontas. She describes her dad’s family being bitterly opposed to him marrying her mother because she was part Indian. Maybe she looked like dinky-Warren and they were just using an easy excuse to try and help their future grandchildren. Acosta interrupts, as she’s spending valuable anti-Trump airtime rambling on about herself, asking, “So does that bother you when the President calls you Pocahontas? Do you think that he is being disrespectful to native Americans when he does that? Doesn’t that bother you because of your family’s heritage?”... https://rickwells.us/warren-trump-warpath-indian/

by Ann Coulter
{ freedomsback.com } ~ President liar-nObama did a lot of bad things, but pound for pound, one of the worst was the January 2014 “Dear Colleague” letter sent jointly by his Education and Justice Departments to all public schools threatening lawsuits over racial discrimination in student discipline. The letter came after years of his administration browbeating schools for their failure to discipline every race of student at the same rate.

As the Huffington Post put it: “American Schools Are STILL Racist, Government Report Finds.” The evidence? “Five percent of white students were suspended annually, compared with 16 percent of black students, according to the report.” Q.E.D.

According to theory, there’s NO WAY blacks and Hispanics are doing things that require more school discipline than whites or Asians. So if more black students are expelled than Asians, well, gentlemen, we have our proof of racism. To comply, schools would have to stop suspending black kids for breaking a teacher’s jaw, but suspend Asians for dropping an eraser.

Using the same logic, I could close the achievement gap between blacks and Asians in a single day by going to every principal’s office in the country and burning the transcripts. Liberals are saying, “You know, that’s not a bad idea.”

The “school-to-prison pipeline” argument for racial quotas in discipline was hatched in education schools and black studies departments. What I want to know is: How did they test the idea?

To validate the theory that recording students’ criminal behavior produces students with criminal records, we divided students into two groups. Group A we continued to suspend when they acted up; Group B we would not suspend no matter what — even when they engaged in their little mischief, like cracking heads with crowbars, dropping teachers off buildings, using a switchblade to cut other students’ eyes out.

RESULT: At the end of the year, Group B had better records.

Were the researchers really in suspense about how the experiment was going to turn out? I could have told them at the beginning that their odds of success were tremendous — unless they forgot halfway through and began accidentally suspending students in Group B.

But the liar-nObama administration said: Wow! That’s amazing. Do you think other schools could replicate those results?

One of the administration’s models was Broward County, Florida. Which is kind of important, now that we know that it was Broward’s official policy to make it impossible to arrest students like Nikolas Cruz, thus allowing him to amass a cache of firearms, walk into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and murder 17 people.

The “school-to-prison pipeline” nonsense may not be the explanation for every school shooting, but it is absolutely the explanation for THIS school shooting. No matter what Cruz did, no matter how many times his crimes were reported to the sheriff or school officials, there was no way a lad with a name like “Nikolas Cruz” was ever going to leave school with a record.

Broward County’s innovative idea of eliminating school discipline captivated liar-nObama’s Department of Education. It was expressly cited by the department’s Civil Rights Division with the notation: “New model for other jurisdictions?”

Last October — nearly a year into the Trump administration — Broward Schools Superintendent Robert W. Runcie humbly noted that the district was receiving “invitations from around the country, including from The White House and Federal Office of Civil Rights, to share details about the historic reforms” on school discipline.

Either: Liberals truly believe that all races commit crimes at exactly the same level, frequency and intensity; or they are willing to have people die for their political agenda.

Conservatives didn’t pick this school shooting as the test case for gun control. It was liberals who were going to ride the Parkland shooting all the way to the midterms. They thought they had a beautiful story about the evil NRA.

Not the mass shooting in Orlando — because of the obvious immigration angle. Not San Bernardino — for the same reason. Not Las Vegas — probably for the same reason, but we’ll never know because law enforcement has issued only lies and nonsense about that shooting.

The media did all the hard work of making sure Parkland was the only topic on anyone’s mind, with everyone demanding that we “do something!”

And then we got the facts. Cruz’s criminal acts were intentionally ignored by law enforcement on account of Broward’s much-celebrated “school-to-prison pipeline” reforms.

Thank God for the internet, or we’d never have known the truth.

Admittedly, most of the harm done by the policy that enabled Cruz is not usually a mass shooting. The main damage done by the “school-to-prison pipeline” idiocy is: broken bones, smashed teeth, traumatized students, making it impossible for other students to learn, having a bad influence on marginal students and teachers sinking into depression.

Check at your local school for the full results. Thanks to the   liar-nObama administration, this crackpot theory is sweeping school districts across the nation!

The next time Democrats control Congress and the presidency, we will have racial quotas for prisons, too. When that happens, you better hope the government hasn’t taken your guns.

by David Limbaugh 
{ townhall.com } ~ If liberals would quit acting so crazy, maybe they would have a chance of making significant gains in Congress in the upcoming midterm elections and achieve their goal of eroding support for President Donald Trump. But it's not gonna happen.

Liberals' extremism and outrageousness and conservatives' failure to stop them created the conditions leading to Trump's election. Now the left's unrepentant persistence is sustaining and even increasing Trump's support. Please let liberals' learning disability continue.

They freak out over everything Trump does, apparently not realizing that their over-the-top reactions are way more unreasonable than anything Trump is doing. At a party fundraiser this past weekend, Trump quipped that Chinese President Xi Jinping is "now president for life. President for life. No, he's great. And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll have to give that a shot someday."

You can imagine the monolithic liberal media beta males congregating at their watercoolers and whispering, "I know he's joking, but he does have authoritarian tendencies. Creepy."

Some even raced to their bullhorns and made fools of themselves publicly with the specious claim. CNN's Chris Cillizza penned an opinion piece under the title "This may be the scariest thing Donald Trump has said as president."

Wow. Do you think Cillizza seriously believes that this is scarier than Trump's promise to cut taxes, which has already led to an economic boom that jeopardizes the beleaguered Democrats' upcoming electoral prospects? What about his promise to appoint judges who genuinely care about the Constitution and the rule of law? Those things are indeed frightening for Cillizza's ilk, so he must have agonized over giving the nod to Trump's dictator joke.

In his quasi-hysterical piece, Cillizza wrote: "It's not totally clear to me whether Trump was half-joking or not. Trump's speech was behind closed doors." Well, it's not clear to me whether Cillizza is in possession of a humor molecule. His memory is also apparently on the blink, for he didn't mention former President Barack liar-nObama's reported lament that it would be so much easier to be the president of China. liar-nObama was complaining about the constitutional restraints that kept him from just dictating policy on certain issues. But his statement would have been much easier to take seriously than Trump's because he actually did trample the Constitution every time he could get away with it. Yet his liberal media enablers stood silent.

Liberals' hyperventilation over Trump's tongue-in-cheek throwaways is a mild example of their venom and fruitcakery. When columnist Bethany Mandel published an op-ed in The New York Times relating her experience in buying a gun to protect her family, gun control activist Shannon Watts accused her on Twitter of having fear, paranoia and white privilege. Watts tweeted that Mandel's white skin makes her less likely to be at risk as a gun owner, regardless of her hardscrabble background. "I guess you don't believe in racism," Watts tweeted to Mandel.

Leave it to an identity politics-obsessed leftist to invoke racism to attack a white Jewish wife and mother of three for purchasing a weapon to defend herself and her family in the face of actual threats made against her. I would say you can't make this stuff up, but it's better to say you don't have to make this stuff up, because leftist nastiness and nuttiness are a gift that keeps on giving.

Speaking of which, when Attorney General Jeff Sessions strongly criticized Libby Schaaf -- the mayor of Oakland, California -- for warning immigrants who are here illegally about upcoming raids, she fired back that Sessions has racist motives. "How dare you distort the reality about declining violent crime in a diverse sanctuary city like Oakland, California, to advance your racist agenda?" she said. California Gov. Jerry Brown accused the federal government of launching a "reign of terror." "This is basically going to war against the state of California," Brown said.

It's hard for me to understand how even leftists have the audacity to publicly admit that they think there is nothing illegal or immoral about a city official's giving a heads-up to law violators that federal law enforcement officers are on the way.

OK, it's not really that hard. Last year, California state Sen. Kevin de Leon claimed that the Trump administration's law enforcement policies were based on principles of white supremacy rather than American values. And only about a month ago, House Minority Leader Nancy Pulosi shrieked that the Republicans' immigration plan was designed to "make America white again."

For all the Democrats' stated concerns over Trump's alleged excesses, he doesn't hold a candle to their daily behavior even on his worst day. Recent polls show that Trump's re-election prospects are looking pretty good. The game of politics is fluid and unpredictable, so these polls say little about what will happen in 2020. But they do tell us how these tired Democratic tactics are going over today.

As a Republican, I can only hope they continue.

{ rickwells.us } ~ An illegal alien who was walking with her three daughters, was arrested on March 3rd in the National City area of San Diego... supposedly while they were on their way to pay the rent. The open-borders left is going crazy because her teenage or adult daughters were squealing like stuck pigs while it was taking place and it was captured on cell phone video. They should have expected it would happen. Perla Morales-Luna wasn’t just an ordinary, garden variety illegal squatter, but a Mexican cartel employee who is described as a fairly high-level operator in an alien smuggling ring. The up is down, right is wrong left is in a frenzy, proclaiming that separating the illegal from her children is evidence that our immigration system is running amok and spreading fear in “communities.” Everybody who goes to jail or prison is separated from their families, do they make that same claim about those criminals? Is our Justice System in all fifty states and around the world running amok?...  https://rickwells.us/illegal-alien-smuggler-trump/.

{ washingtontimes.com } ~ Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach defended his state’s voter registration law Tuesday in federal court... claiming the measure he championed has prevented between 1,000 and 18,000 noncitizens from casting ballots. During opening statements in a federal lawsuit challenging his authority to implement the requirements, Kobach said one of his experts will testify that the higher end of that range is more likely. He argued the law, which requires people to provide documents such as a birth certificate or passport at motor vehicle offices to register to vote, was much more effective than previous policies that required registrants only to check boxes saying they were over 18 and a U.S. citizen. “Just having to sign something saying you are a U.S. citizen is nothing,” Kobach said...   https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/mar/6/kris-kobach-says-kansas-voter-registration-law-blo/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newslink&utm_term=members&utm_content=20180311163926

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ Every day we hear on television, "We need an honest discussion about race in this country"... Many well-meaning Americans, however, may have had enough of this endless, empty and dysfunctional discussion of race. To an outsider, Americans seem obsessed with race; and the discussion always deteriorates to shouting, insulting, blaming, finger-pointing, distorting reality and removing any hope of taking responsibility for oneself. The goal of the discussion always seems to be to try to claim that "I am holier than thou." We immigrants, on the other hand, the minute we land in the US, we feel the political struggle for our vote.  The day I got my citizenship and went out to register to vote, some people in the room told me to register as a Democrat because the Democrats would protect my rights from the racist establishment and give me "stuff." Many of the people who had come with me did register that way, but I found the urging alarming. I grew up under a socialist, totalitarian system under the leadership of President Gamal Abdel Nasser in Egypt -- a nanny state that also gives you "stuff'." What many Americans do not realize is that the free stuff can be too expensive...   https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/12016/tyranny-of-shaming

{ rickwells.us } ~ Snarky media propagandist Kristen Welker mistakes an absence of leaks from her usual sources for spontaneity... which she then goes on to characterize as recklessness because the leakers were kept out of the loop on the decision to meet with Kim Jong Un. We can expect they’ll be further excluded in the future, perhaps right out the door. Welker asks Sarah Sanders one of her typical condescending questions, “Top officials at the White House and at the Pentagon seemed to be taken by surprise by the announcement. Was this done in a haphazard way?” Sure Welker, everything President Trump does is haphazard by your standards. Find a dictionary and look up getting things done. Maybe you’ll get a clue but probably not. Sanders ignores the derogatory manner in which the question is phrased, replying, “No, not at all. As I said, this has been part of an ongoing campaign that’s been going for over a year and just because some of the individuals that may regularly leak to the press weren’t involved in the conversation doesn’t mean that the appropriate parties that lead those agencies were not in the room and not part of that discussion.”...  https://rickwells.us/sanders-libtard-trump-impulsively/.
This Islamist Group Has No Business 
Anywhere Near Our Schoolchildren

{ fixthisnation.com } ~ In a ruling on Tuesday, a federal judge ordered the San Diego Unified School District to turn over all correspondence it has had with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)...
 regarding a bullying initiative aimed at curing area schools of Islamophobia. Responding to a request by the Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund, the judge found there was enough evidence in the record to suggest that the school district has continued its communications with CAIR after assuring the court that it was severing ties with the controversial organization. The FCDF is hoping that the revelation of such correspondence will compel the court to take further action to keep CAIR’s Islamist propaganda out of San Diego schools. “There are no programs promoting ‘Jewish culture,’ the FCDF told the court in their request for an injunction. “There are no lectures from priests on how to accommodate Catholic students during Lent. And there are no partnerships with Evangelical Christian activists. In short, the San Diego Unified School District has placed their power, prestige, and purse behind a single religion: Islam”... http://www.fixthisnation.com/conservative-breaking-news/this-islamist-group-has-no-business-anywhere-near-our-schoolchildren/

The Elimination of Higher Education 

m1McGnsBfJvKwlhMfxXR974vPOsLPd-rsduSIr0Bb5OH32sJpxvP9xVVgZEnUdgxPkpvLsQU0LCW9Q6XfJtsXMBDCtkGkX65n-tC8ObkCDQIb8Fp6yIHpk9Hrz-WPEU=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450by Michael Swartz:  In less than a week, Americans will be exposed — with practically wall-to-wall coverage at that — to 68 of our institutions of higher learning as they take part in the annual NCAA basketball tournament. Teams that outperform expectations will benefit from an uptick in applications, and although many of the schools participating are already household names, who doesn’t take pride in seeing their alma mater in “The Big Dance?”

            Unfortunately for the high school Class of 2019, whose students are just now beginning to determine where they’ll go to college, there’s a different sort of elimination going on, with much higher stakes. A long-term downturn in enrollment, along with a decline in the number of Americans who believe a college education is worth the money, is beginning to affect many schools’ bottom line. While this won’t immediately affect a state-supported public university or Ivy League schools with their multi-billion dollar endowments, those who’d prefer a smaller campus and more intimate setting may find that many small colleges are the first to fold.
            As an example, based on a Wall Street Journal ranking of more than 1,000 schools accounting for a number of factors, one observer painted a bleak picture for schools near the bottom of the list. “You’re going to see, over the next five years, a real increase in the number of schools in serious trouble,” said Ohio University’s Richard Vedder, who heads the school’s Center for College Affordability and Productivity. “A degree from one of these lower schools doesn’t mean much of anything.” These closings will also expand the so-called “education deserts” that are defined in part as areas outside a convenient radius from four-year colleges.
            Truth be told, though, the “desert” seems to be on campus, and it’s a desert where independent thought and ideological diversity are all but impossible to find. We joke about the “snowflakes” who can’t seem to cope when events don’t turn out as they hope, but the information silo being created by these schools is no laughing matter. When left-wing professors outnumber their right-leaning colleagues by more than 10 to 1 — leaving their unemployable graduates with useless degrees and student loan debt for which taxpayers will ultimately be on the hook — more and more concerned parents and prospective students are looking elsewhere.
            “An increasing percentage of high school graduates are moving directly into job-prep education,” writes Peter Heck at The Resurgent. “Either offered by a business itself, or channeled through a trade school or online academy, these innovative programs give students direct training in the field they want to work in rather than forcing them to fill 90% of their course schedule with classes that don’t pertain to their desired field.”
            Why spend well over $100,000, they reason, when there are good-paying jobs that don’t require a degree or, if a more traditional degree is desired, online institutions that provide a good, basic education to “nontraditional students” for a fraction of the cost?
            Over the last 75 years, college has evolved from a place where only the best and brightest went to pursue higher education to its current marketing as a basic necessity. However, while students, parents and (mostly) taxpayers have “invested” billions to make state-supported public schools a luxurious interim experience for those soon to join the “real world” beyond campus, the model and mode of education has changed. Today, thousands have gained their degrees without ever setting foot on a campus, while still others are making the companies that sponsored and provided their post-high-school education more successful as they apply the skills and knowledge they were taught in these programs.
            While none of these schools and institutes for training will ever make the field of 68 for “March Madness,” they provide the key for stopping the madness of spiraling student debt and useless but politically correct degrees. And have we mentioned that the world needs skilled tradespeople and entrepreneurs that do well without setting foot on a college campus? Yes, we have. But it bears repeating.   ~The Patriot Pos

UN probe: Russia behind deadly 
airstrike in Syria's Idlib
by JAMEY KEATEN and PHILIP ISSA

{ foxnews.com } ~ U.N. war crimes investigators said Tuesday that a Russian plane was apparently behind an airstrike in November in Syria's Idlib province...
 that killed 84 people at a marketplace, an attack which could amount to a war crime. The findings, reported by the U.N.'s Commission of Inquiry on Syria, were the first time the group has pinned responsibility for civilian deaths in Syria directly on Russia. According to the report, "all available information" indicates that a Russian plane carried out the Nov. 13 airstrike that hit a market, surrounding houses and a police station run by Western-backed Syrian rebels in the town of Atarib, in northern Idlib. At least 84 people were killed and about another 150 were wounded in the attack... http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/03/06/un-probe-russia-behind-deadly-airstrike-in-syrias-idlib.html

A Florida Deputy Failed; Responding SWAT Members Punished 

c4q7qTBvCuL63EHC_ir1pJhrbP_7ohMvxEo3Q01rp7hM40mS8l1XNCrR3mkj45r9SRhrl_sHyz_mLhsCi6YLajc_1msCU4nJej4_VvXX4z8cSI6yryDUzeXw4p17Wdo=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450by Jordan Candler:  When it comes to the Parkland, Florida, school shooting, it’s increasingly clear that apprehension played a huge role while bravery is facing rebuke. Two new reports are sickening.

            We’ve chronicled the deplorable actions of the initial responding officers whose inclination was to wait outside the school. Well, it got worse. News last night was that Broward Deputy Scot Peterson, the on-campus security guard, knew and informed other officers over the radio that gunfire was happening “inside” the building — despite his later insistence that he wasn’t sure whether shots were fired outside. “Do not approach the 12 or 1300 building, stay at least 500 feet away,” Peterson said over the radio. So he remained outside and instructed others to do likewise.
            But then there was Sgt. Jeff Heinrich, an officer with the Coral Springs Police Department. He and his family are deeply involved with Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. But even though the fate of his wife and son was unknown during the rampage, Sgt. Heinrich — who at the time of the shooting was off duty but happened to be on school property — nevertheless did what the other officers refused to do: He entered the school in an effort to engage the shooter.
            This week we learned that Sgt. Heinrich’s impulse to selflessly and independently enter the danger zone was shared by Detectives Jeffrey Gilbert and Carl Schlosser. Both of them are Miramar Police Department SWAT members. Upon hearing news of an active shooter, the on-duty detectives reflexively made their way toward the high school. Unfortunately, their valor is being met with reprisal.
            According to The Hill, Gilbert and Schlosser “have been suspended from duty over their decision to respond without permission to the shooting at a high school that killed 17 students and faculty last month. … Following their suspension, the two were ordered to turn in their SWAT-issued rifles, but they remain on active duty for other assignments, according to the newspaper.
            Police Benevolent Association President Jeff Marano responded: “While it may have been a violation of policy to not notify their supervisors that they were going there, their intentions were brave and heroic, I think.” Indeed.
            Admittedly, the policy isn’t without merit. The Sun Sentinel recalls last year’s ordeal at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in which “over 2,000 cops responded to the original report of gunfire and false reports of additional shots fired.” The Sentinel explains that a “crowd of arriving law enforcement can jam roads that ambulances need to use, overwhelm radios and in general, add to the confusion of the police response.”
            Fair enough. But the Parkland ordeal is very upsetting for numerous reasons. Not only did authorities fail to heed dozens of warning signs well before the attack, but the response by Broward County sheriff’s deputies — rather, the nonresponse — created a dilemma. Yet the brave souls who were willing to engage the shooter are being punished for it.
            At the very least, their supervisors could exercise some discretion — and some decency.

Bolton – Kim Is Lying, Stalling For

{ rickwells.us } ~ John Bolton points out that North Korea is very close to achieving “their dream of the past twenty-five years or more... being able to deliver thermo-nuclear warheads on target in the United States. They’re very close and they don’t want anything that would interfere with them crossing that finish line.” Shannon Bream asks, “If they’re that close, why in the world would they agree to now halt the program, to give it up completely? It just doesn’t logically make any sense.” Bolton replies, “Because they’re lying,” and that “they want to buy time, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, whatever it is they need to get across the finish line.” Bolton predicts “it could either be a long and unproductive meeting or a short and unproductive meeting,” dependent upon the posturing of Kim Jong Un. Shannon Bream plays a clip of Marco Rubio predicting it is a ploy on the part of Kim in which will portray himself as being cooperative to the world and President Trump as uncooperative, persuading them to back off of sanctions...  https://rickwells.us/bolton-kim-lying-trump/

{ hegatewaypundit.com } ~ Radio legend Michael Savage revealed to his audience Friday that ‘very important people,’ have approached him to run against Senator Dianne Fein-stein (D-CA)... “Some very important people have come to me and said ‘Savage, would you like to run as an independent for the U.S. Senate in the of California against the esteemed Dianne Fein-stein?’ Now you may say ‘you don’t have a ghost of a chance.’ With all those illegal aliens, with all that union money, with no press on your side, how could you David run against the Goliath of Fein-stein?” […] I’ve been holding down the fort for 24 years this March. 24 years in the radio business and I am younger than Dianne Fein-stein. That’s right. I’ve been asked by a number of very powerful, important people to run as an independent for the U.S. Senate in the state of California and I am contemplating whether I really want to leave what I’ve worked for all my life and roll in the mud because politics is the dirty business on the planet.” Savage did not reveal who is pushing him to run for the U.S. Senate or what type of backing he would receive...  http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/02/report-radio-legend-michael-savage-approached-run-sen-dianne-feinstein-audio/

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Well this latest twist is sketchy as hell. In December last year we learned about Nellie Ohr working for Fusion GPS... and channeling liar-Clinton/Steele ‘dossier’ information to her husband Bruce Ohr who worked in the DOJ National Security Division. Today Fox News is revealing that Fusion-GPS #2 man-in-charge, Neil King Jr., was/is married to President liar-nObama’s White House Policy Adviser, Shailagh Murray; who was also Joe loose lips-Biden’s Deputy-Chief-of-Staff.  It’s becoming more and more transparently obvious that Fusion-GPS was one of the contractors with access to the FBI and NSA database; and when Admiral Rogers shut down that access April 18, 2016, Fusion-GPS needed a workaround to access the system through the Dept. of Justice National Security Division (DOJ-NSD), via Bruce Ohr...  https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/03/09/sketchy-business-chairman-nunes-reveals-fusion-gps-connection-to-obama-white-house/

{ freebeacon.com } ~ CNN anchor Erin Burnett commented President Donald Trump would go down as a "great president" if he managed to solve the generational North Korean nuclear crisis... adding "there's no way around that." The White House stunned the world Thursday night with the announcement that Trump had accepted an invitation from Kim Jong Un, the young dictator of North Korea who has repeatedly threatened the United States with destruction. If the summit takes place—the South Koreans have said the meeting will take place by May—it would be the first face-to-face meeting between a U.S. president and a North Korean leader. It was the main topic on cable news Thursday night, and Burnett made the comment after moderating a panel on the significance and pitfalls of such a meeting...

Foreign Aid Often Hurts More Than Helps 
c7G3WgDhqttUscw16nvfxpgGcxFw3Fy08QJV7OZuoinkikE7KNUufrbt7yLqNAAFeob8BkqsrjCup_iX05Mk9n4DRcLLLjkBRFItDzNikIhoZEqG4dVC-r4SXC92h84=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450by Brian Mark Weber:  There’s an old saying that charity begins at home. While the spirit of the phrase is controversial in our hyper-political climate, the fact is that sending federal aid overseas is more of a feel-good solution than a long-term way of reducing poverty or increasing the ability of people to become more self-reliant and prosperous.

            For decades, the United States has sent aid to countries around the world with the noble intention of helping those unable to access the basic necessities of life such as medicine, running water and shelter. But some Third World countries never break the cycle of poverty, and this often has more to do with their corrupt political leaders than a lack of work ethic, resources or a desire to improve. When these corrupt regimes are flush with American cash, it’s no wonder that so many poor nations fail to prosper.
            The best way for people to escape poverty is to implement a free-market economy, support individual freedom and business expansion and fight political corruption. The reason tyrannical and corrupt regimes don’t follow this advice is self-evident.
            The data show that free nations are more prosperous than those whose political systems aim for equality at all costs. The Heritage Foundation’s 2018 Index of Economic Freedom ranks 180 nations based on their level of economic freedom and the corresponding level of poverty. Some economic studies send mixed messages, but not this one. The numbers are irrefutable: As economic freedom increases, poverty decreases.
           As Patrick Tyrrell writes at The Daily Signal, “This finding should not be overlooked when organizations like the International Monetary Fund or the World Bank plan aid for developing countries. Such aid too often ignores economic freedom violations by despots, dictators, and autocrats.”
            There seems to be little thought given to where the aid goes when it leaves places like the IMF or World Bank, or how the money is spent if it actually makes it past an entrenched autocracy. But should we expect anything different from organizations that habitually overlook corruption in countries receiving aid?
            Tyrrell adds, “Strongmen who disregard property rights or the rule of law to remain in power have been rewarded with billions of dollars in foreign aid from rich countries for decades. Despots and dictators have often used this aid to solidify their grips on power, such as by withholding food aid from groups that do not support them.”
          So that’s why decades of American and international aid hasn’t even made a dent in the problem.
            Not surprisingly, the political Left is often the driving force behind these global relief programs, and government aid isn’t the only problem. More often than not, so-called progressive aid organizations are plagued by malfeasance while the people in need to continue to suffer. We only need to look at what the loar-Clinton Global Initiative did with contributions from wealthy, progressive donors. Remember the millions that were sent the liar-Clintons’ way in order to help the Haitian people recover from the 2010 earthquake? Haiti still hasn’t recovered, yet the liar-Clintons have rolled in cash.
            Another segment of our society pushing for more global assistance is progressive Christians, who use their faith as justification for pouring billions of dollars of government aid into poverty-stricken countries. Once a donation drops into the collection basket, the assumption is that a hungry mouth will be fed and medicines will be delivered.
            Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. As The Resurgent’s Peter Heck suggests, “Christians who see their brother in need personally should give generously from their own resources, bank accounts, and wealth to care for them. Christians who see their brothers in need in other parts of the world should support charitable organizations that work to rebuild their lives through missions and relief efforts.
          This sounds reasonable considering that Americans are the most generous people in the world. “Americans out-donate Britain and Canada two-to-one and nations like Italy and Germany 20-to-one,” The Almanac of American Philanthropy reported in 2016. “What’s more, more than half of every single income class except those earning less than $25,000, give to charity. The much maligned top 1% in the U.S. economy fork over one-third of all donations made.
            But Heck adds, “Christians who are interested in results more than political posturing, should encourage and urge their government to spread a doctrine of economic freedom to the impoverished world. That, far more than confiscation and redistribution of wealth, achieves the results we desire.”
            The problem with sending money overseas is that it doesn’t get to the needy, and it therefore has a minimal impact on people’s long-term living conditions. Princeton University economist Angus Deaton, who worked for decades at the World Bank, asserts that rich do-gooders may be exacerbating the problem of corruption in the Third World, given that there’s been so little to show for $135 billion in global aid.
            What Deaton and other economists discovered was that countries receiving aid actually found their economic situation growing worse because the relationship between the governments and their people changed. This makes sense. A country is less likely to be accountable to its people if the government can rely on a steady stream of international aid.
            The U.S. should lead the way toward reform. This includes ensuring that nations receiving aid are working toward implementing policies that expand the economic and political rights of their people, and working directly with aid organizations rather than funneling money through politicians and despots.
            We can also apply these standards to our own cities, by promoting entrepreneurship and supporting business-friendly policies that help the downtrodden build independence and wealth. Like Third World despots, Democrat mayors across the country have largely squandered hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars since the “Great Society.
            Only when we battle poverty at its root cause will we break the cycle of political corruption and poverty.  ~The Patriot Pos

Susan Rice Criticizing Trump Success With

{ rickwells.us } ~ Both liar-nObama National Security Adviser Susan Rice and her fellow globalist, Mrs. Alan Greenspan, Andrea Mitchell... seem to be taking it personally that President Trump is making progress in dealing with North Korea that nobody before him, including Rice and their messiah were able to. Given the fact that Trump has already outperformed liar-nObama on foreign policy, it’s questionable whether the opinions of either of these two cackling hens is of any value, but they certainly are not shy about giving them, along with heaping helpings of anti-Trump rhetoric. In describing getting nothing accomplished through the laughable liar-nObama policy of “strategic patience,” doing nothing as N Korea built their nuclear program, Mitchell says, “What you’ve described is a traditional, appropriate diplomatic process.” For some reason Rice finds the characterization of her failures in that manner humorous, laughing dismissively at President Trump... https://rickwells.us/susan-rice-trump-korea/.

{ theintercept.com } ~ EARLIER THIS WEEK, the Senate got 50 Republicans, 16 Democrats, and one Democratic-leaning independent to move forward on S.2155, the bipartisan bank deregulation bill... With that base of support, prospects for passage are extremely bright — or dark, depending on how you view a bill that the Congressional Budget Office says heightens the risk of a financial crisis for the purpose of loosening rules on banks. There’s just one problem left: Almost nobody has any idea what the bill will ultimately look like. And they almost certainly won’t know until hours, or perhaps minutes, before they have to make a final decision. Senate Banking Committee chair Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, and four Banking Committee Democrats filed several last-minute changes in what’s known as a manager’s amendment late Wednesday. That’s a bill that incorporates unknown changes to a piece of legislation that has already passed committee. To spot the changes, a reader must compare the language of both bills...  https://theintercept.com/2018/03/08/senate-bank-bill-wall-street-banking/?utm_source=The+Intercept+Newsletter&utm_campaign=f87e916ec0-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_03_10&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e00a5122d3-f87e916ec0-131896129

China Extends NoKo Nuke Olive Branch 

Sm1Gt1blgrmlZ7fiOm5td58ULTi-UdqtMW7c13g4DT30d9CvME07gybVRVOJ9G9-WKFMVg_P5Fmqw-buYGM64kSLN83hXDpeiJ0YC4qrMQ3Y9fORXc_LwUOmiNqAqoo=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450by Thomas Gallatin:  President Donald Trump on Thursday accepted an invitation to meet with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, an invitation that was relayed to the U.S. by South Korean officials who had recently met with the North. It’s important to note here that thus far the North Korean regime has not publicly or officially requested a meeting with Trump. That said, there is no reason to doubt Kim’s desire to have a face-to-face meeting with the president, as it would serve to validate his leadership status on the world scene. On the possibility of a diplomatic solution, Trump struck a positive yet realistic note, tweeting, “Kim Jong Un talked about denuclearization with the South Korean Representatives, not just a freeze. Also, no missile testing by North Korea during this period of time. Great progress being made but sanctions will remain until an agreement is reached. Meeting being planned!”

            There has been quite a bit of Leftmedia consternation over the implications of Trump’s acceptance. Many have questioned if Trump fully appreciates the dangers. U.S. policy has long resisted offering any validation to the rogue regime — validation it could then leverage geopolitically. As has been repeatedly noted by the MSM, this face-to-face meeting would be a first for a sitting U.S. president.
            However, what has been missed by much of the MSM coverage is the region’s biggest player, China. The Kim regime’s long-running control of North Korea could not have existed without significant support from the communists in Beijing. In fact, North Korea is a puppet of the Chinese.
            It is interesting to note that the day Trump announced his plan for tariffs on steel, North Korean officials reached out to officials in the South requesting a meeting. Undoubtedly, Kim has felt the sting of Trump’s economic sanctions, but more than Kim, it is the Chinese who have the most to lose economically, especially if war were to break out on the Korean peninsula. Trump’s announcement of a tariff on Chinese steel and aluminum may have finally been the straw that broke the camel’s back. If China is willing to truly end the nuclear threat posed by its North Korean puppet, then maybe it can get concessions from Trump on tariffs.
            The fact of the matter is that the U.S. is China’s largest single trade partner and second largest regional partner behind only the European Union, accounting for over $521 billion in trade annually. Meanwhile, the North Korean economy is almost entirely dependent on China, which accounts for over 90% of its imports and over 85% of its exports. Quite literally, China is North Korea’s lifeline. Thus, as we have noted previously, China is the key to effectively dealing with North Korea.
            Trump has indicated that he has no plans to withdraw any sanctions until there are actual results, and talks don’t equate to results. Rep. Edward Royce (R-CA), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee argued for a cautious approach, saying, “We can pursue more diplomacy as we keep applying pressure ounce by ounce.” He added, “Remember, North Korean regimes have repeatedly used talks and empty promises to extract concessions and buy time. North Korea uses this to advance its nuclear and missile programs. We’ve got to break this cycle.”
            Kevin Martin, president of Peace Action, said, “North Korea is putting virtually all topics of concerns on the table. Trump now has the opportunity to achieve what no president has been able to achieve in seven decades of U.S.-North Korea relations: make real strides towards lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula.” Is it North Korea or is it China that is putting denuclearization on the table? Either way, it is sincerely hoped that a nuclear North Korea comes to an end.   ~The Patriot Pos
