Soros, Dems’ Antifa Hired Oakland
Gangsters To Beat, Intimidate Conservatives

{rickwells.us} ~ Finally the mainstream media, albeit with rare exceptions only Fox News, is reporting on the violent thugs of Antifa after they once again viciously physically assaulted and battered their political opposition... conservatives exercising their constitutional rights to free speech. The peaceful protesters of the Soros globalist Democrats once again attacked in their safe zone of Berkeley, CA over the weekend. Ashton Whitty, one of the conservatives attending what was reportedly a cancelled event due to the threats by the Antifa thugs in coordination with the Democrat mayors of San Francisco and Berkeley. She held a sign saying, “Let’s just have a conversation,” which she did with people of all political persuasions. She said, “Everything was great until Antifa showed up.” Whitty says, “Antifa, they came with black masks, they carried weapons, they were pounding people down with their fists and their feet and I knew I had to get out of there. So I contacted someone I knew, who came to the rally. I got out of there by car, we drove down to safety, they asked me what happened, they filmed me and I look over, and there’s a woman on her phone.”...  http://rickwells.us/soros-dems-antifa-hired-oakland-gangsters-to-assault-conservatives/

{wnd.com} ~ Politically compromised deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe continues to run an investigation into the Trump campaign’s alleged “collusion” with Russia, bureau sources familiar with the probe say... even though it overlaps with the special counsel’s investigation, and even though McCabe, whose wife is a Democratic activist, is under investigation for political conflicts of interest. As the subject of no fewer than three separate investigations of his own, McCabe is operating under a growing ethical cloud, critics inside the bureau complain. Yet, he is “still running that investigation,” an FBI source said. “He didn’t recuse himself from the liar-Hillary Clinton case, and he won’t recuse himself from the Russian matter.”... http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/hillary-linked-g-man-still-investigating-trump/

{dailycaller.com} ~ The volunteer rescue organization Louisiana Cajun Navy said shots were fired at its boats during an attempted rescue in Houston. In an initial post on its Facebook page, the group said that looters had tried to steal their boats... Clyde and the other team members and teams are all safe. Looters decided to pose as people needing rescue and they attempted to overtake the boats and there were shots fired at the boats. I repeat they are all safe. Looters must have not wanted our boats in the water for rescues. Please feel free to share this post. We are currently on stand down pending a new strategic plan...  http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/28/looters-attack-cajun-navy-with-guns-during-attempted-rescue/?utm_medium=email

{dailycaller.com} ~ Fox News’ Lisa Boothe called out Democrats on Monday for failing to denounce the violent rioting from left-wing Antifa groups... Boothe said that while Republicans have denounced the white supremacist groups in Charlottesville, VA, she has yet to hear of Democratic leaders doing the same for Antifa, who have attacked peaceful right-wing demonstrators in Berkeley, CA. “I think what we need to see is marginalizing these hate groups, like we saw when so many people came together to denounce what we saw in Charlottesville,” Boothe said. “Unfortunately, we’re not seeing that same rebuke of groups like Antifa.”...  http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/28/lisa-boothe-i-havent-seen-dems-denouncing-antifa-video/?utm_medium=email

{rickwells.us} ~ The lawless Democrats of Illinois, including Rep Luis Gutierrez, Sen Dick Durbin and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, as well as their resident shadow government agitator pretend ‘president,’ Hussein liar-nObama, must be thrilled... The RINO governor, Bruce Rauner, who bears a striking resemblance to New York Mayor “Red Bill” de Blasio, has signed a bill protecting illegal alien squatters, making Illinois a sanctuary state. The law prevents local police from making arrests based upon immigration status. Fox News’ Mike Tobin points out that police “must ignore federal detainers and hold undocumented illegal immigrants trespassing border-crashers only with a court order.” In making excuses for his capitulation to the open borders globalist Democrats, RINO Rauner stated, “They all said to me, Governor, this is a reasonable compromise. It will help us do our jobs better. It will help us keep our communities safer.”... http://rickwells.us/rino-gov-signs-sanctuary-state-bill-lets-killers-americans-escape-justice/

Hearts of Stone: Statue Stories

{townhall.com} ~ Baby Jesus? Too wholesome for schoolchildren. Colin Kaepernick? Perfect hero material: effeminate; unsportsmanlike and willing to play the victim card. Is this for real? Yep.

A Catholic school is relegating a statue of the Christ child to the basement cobwebs while the National Museum of African American History and Culture is building a display to honor NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

What is a statue and what does it represent? Why do we erect statues? These are fundamental questions which we must ask before we surrender to madness. Because the logical conclusion of the current war on artistic representations of Caucasians, males and Christians is to ban every artistic treasure—including those which inspire minorities and non-Christians.

Last week, reports surfaced exposing California’s San Domenico School’s board of trustees for removing many of its most cogent outward signs of Catholicism: 180 statues. The spineless board unanimously voted to relegate the school’s sculptural centerpiece, the Madonna and Child, and many more statues including one depicting the school’s patron—Saint Dominic—to the basement.

Somehow, San Domenico’s board didn’t anticipate that its decision to order the baby Jesus to “time out” would garner negative national headlines—even among non-Catholics. Now, the school has a black eye. After all, Christians aren’t supposed to tell their redeemer to literally or metaphorically: “Go back to the drafty manger.”

Not far from San Domenico, a secular grade school—Portland’s Lynch View Elementary—is also snubbing its founders and history by removing all references to the last name of its founders, berry farmers Catherine and Patrick Lynch. The goal: “to foster a sense of inclusion for our ever-changing student population.”

In 1900, Catherine and Patrick Lynch made a very generous donation of land for a one-room school house for the education of children in their community. Despite outcry from alumni who are proud of their school’s heritage, the Centennial School District insists on political correctness.  

Young people deserve good role models and they deserve the truth. Humans are not angels obviously, which means that we need outward, physical signs to educate and motivate ourselves. Naming a school after the Lynch family reminds schoolchildren that philanthropy and entrepreneurship played a key role in building America’s education system. Likewise, displaying Catholic statues of holy persons encourages and reminds children to emulate humility and kindness.

Love must drive our actions—including our political actions—or we will soon find ourselves breaking our own laws and succumbing to irrationality. A wave of irrationality is spreading across our nation as many of our leaders make decisions based on a craving for popularity rather than neighborly love.

Girl Power or Girl Pathetic?

J.R.R. Tolkien wrote the Lord of the Rings series to teach his children about their Catholic faith. Countless women, non-Catholics, and people of color have found delight and inspiration in these stories. Tolkien’s trilogy, published in 1954, is one of the most best-selling stories of all time because a tale of honorable characters on an adventurous path is universally inspiring regardless of the protagonist’s gender or skin color.

You need not be male to be inspired by a man. My interest in political commentary came from my father. Likewise, you need not be Christian to be empowered by the sight of a woman carefully cradling her baby boy under the loving and protective eye of her carpenter husband. A loving, atomic family unit is universally uplifting.

But progressive politicians looking to control our personal lives—are leading Americans, especially women and minorities—to believe that it is “alienating” or “offensive” to see a positive artistic depiction of a man or a Christian.

A female journalist writing for TIME recently touted the need for more statues of women in America to counteract the “toxic form of masculinity that keeps women from advancing.” She then went on to blatantly exaggerate the facts, implying that only three of 22 statues in Central Park depict women. In fact, at least nine statues depict or honor females in Central Park and at least two statues were sculpted by female sculptors.

If anything is toxic it’s the assumption that women cannot be inspired by men. If anything is demeaning to minorities it’s legislation like that being pushed in San Francisco: to arbitrarily increase the number of females depicted on statues, street signs and public art by 30 percent by 2020. That’s not even enough time to properly research, commission and complete a project. A bronze sculpture can easily take at least four months of intense, hands-on labor.  

Is pride motivating our rush to dispose of history—both spiritual and secular? Destruction is easier than construction. It takes little thought or courage to toss a statue into a musty basement or slash a word out of a name. It takes humility, patience and fortitude to carefully analyze and then decide whether to modify, abandon or keep a piece of artwork.

Let’s not deny our children perfectly uplifting art and history because we have developed hearts of stone. Otherwise, we’re no better than the lifeless statues we profess to deplore.

So, California Is Considering Taxing Drinking Water

 by Mark Alexander:  As our longtime readers know well, your Patriot Post team works tirelessly to “Support and Defend” Liberty. Because we operate on a very tight budget, both in terms of manpower and financial resources, our content and quality would suffer if we were short-staffed for many weeks throughout the year to provide individual leave time. Thus, as our team needs a break from the rigors of relentless publishing deadlines, we pause our operations for a week in August to provide R&R time with our families.
          However, a few of us remain on station to keep watch, and always being one of those, I wanted to share a few observations about events this past week.
          Unless you’ve been marooned on a Pacific island for the last 10 days, you’ve likely been deluged with mainstream media hysterics about the domestic political hatefest between
anarcho-fascists and anarcho-socialists in the otherwise idyllic town of Charlottesville, Virginia.
          In the wake of that event, I noted, in the same 24-hour period as the Charlottesville riot, there were nine people killed on the streets of Chicago – just an average Saturday night. (Indeed, this past weekend there were even more assaults, but since those black lives don’t matter as political fodder for the Demo/Leftmedia propaganda machine, it’s unlikely you heard about that.)
          Of course, Democrats and their Leftmedia outlets portrayed the “counter-protestors” as all-American youngsters doing their civic duty to oppose hate. But these anarchists are the epitome of haters – and they are in much larger numbers than the fringe racist elements.        
          Despite the Leftist howls about Donald Trump’s condemnation of both the hate factions, one of the nation’s most noted liberal protagonists, Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, says that the Left should not embrace those trying to “tear down America.”
          Dershowitz implores his fellow Democrats: “Do not glorify the violent people who are now tearing down the statues. Many of these people, not all of them, many of these people are trying to tear down America. Antifa is a radical, anti-America, anti-free market, communist, socialist, hard-left sensorial organization… They use violence. Just because they are opposed to fascism and to some of these monuments, should not make them heroes of the liberals. … Doing what Stalin did, just erasing history and rewriting it to serve current purposes does pose a danger. And it poses a danger of education malpractice. I’m a liberal, and I think it’s the obligation of liberals to speak out against the hard-left radicals, just like it’s the obligation of conservatives to speak out against the extremism of the hard right.”
          Regarding education malpractice, another Harvard professor, Harry Lewis, former dean of student life, has filed a motion to protect students’ “right of free association” on the Harvard campus, insisting that the university not “discipline, penalize, or otherwise sanction students for joining, or affiliating with, any lawful organization, political party, or social, political, or other affinity group.”
          Indeed, as Dershowitz noted, the catalyst for that Virginia hate-confab was, ostensibly, the removal of a historic statue of one of that state’s first sons, Robert E. Lee – the Left’s latest Stalinist stab at rewriting American history.
          Before defacing and tearing down statues became the latest Leftist fad, Virginia’s carpet-bagging liar-Clintonista, Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D-NY), characterized the Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson statues on Richmond’s Monument Avenue as “parts of our heritage.” After Charlottesville, McAuliffe re-characterized them as “flash points for hatred, division and violence.” Of course, it’s McAuliffe and his ilk who are the “flash points for hatred, division and violence.”
          Speaking of “New Yorkers,” the latest Leftist to jump on the race-bait freight train is New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Apparently, he’s found some Lee and Jackson statues to remove from the Empire State. Perhaps he should pick up a history book – New York is named for one of the most notorious slave traders in history, the Duke of York. Better tear down that Big
Apple, Andy.
          And speaking of race baiters, it turns out that Barack liar-nObama, who has stoked the fires of racial hatred for the last eight years, is the direct maternal descendant of slave owners. (Oops.) Hard to erase that history, though references to liar-nObama’s family ties to slavery are sparse because, again, that doesn’t fit neatly with the Left’s race-bait political narrative. (You certainly won’t hear CNN’s Anderson Cooper mentioning liar-nObama’s sordid family history, lest liar-nObama might remind Cooper, the son of heiress Gloria Vanderbilt, that his family also owned slaves! Of course, CNN has enslaved a lot of public opinion as well!)
          Of course, the Democrat Party, founded by slave-owner Andrew Jackson, still promotes the statist policies which have enslaved mostly poor black folks on urban poverty plantations for generations – more than were ever enslaved on Democrat agricultural plantations – and they are dying equally violent deaths.
          There were many examples of collateral fallout from the protests, which serve to
illuminate the absurdity of both hateful factions.
          Haters are outing other haters across the nation, who are then being fired from their jobs. That would include two burrito makers in our neighboring city of Chattanooga, where a self-described “communist and anarchist” (yes, a bi-polar oxymoron) outed a coworker who she claims is a Nazi sympathizer.
          And then there is the case of poor Robert Lee. No not that Robert Lee, but an Asian-American ESPN sportscaster by the same name, who was pulled from the announcer lineup for an upcoming UVA v William and Mary football game because of…his offensive name! Rep. Rick Larsen (D-WA) protests, “If this isn’t the same Lee that led the Confederate Army, ESPN needs to reverse this idiocy.” (Memo to Larsen: It’s probably not “the same Lee,” and it’s race-bait idiocy by you and other Democrats that led to this Extremely Stupid Political Nonsense (ESPN)!) So, will the anarcho-fascists show up to protest the removal of Robert Lee? Will the anarcho-socialists show up in battle black and start a riot?
          Before moving on from the “historical revision” topic, longtime friend of The Patriot and
distinguished George Mason University professor Walter E. Williams has issued erudite warnings about the consequences of historical ignorance here and here, including the removal of historic markers to Confederate generals and the rewriting of American history. I highly commend the reading of his essays on this subject.
          Stay tuned – the traveling circus of haters will move on to other cities, where Leftists will not only rage against small bands of other racists but also target police officers as they chant “cops and Klan go hand in hand…”
          The other dominant news this week was President Donald Trump’s plan to more aggressively prosecute a murderous gang of foreign haters, the Jihadi terrorists in Afghanistan. (By the way, Muhammad was also a slave owner.)
          Speaking to the nation Monday, Trump sounded downright presidential, saying, “I arrived at three fundamental conclusions about America’s core interests in Afghanistan.”
          “First,” he said, “Our nation must seek an honorable and enduring outcome worthy of the tremendous sacrifices that have been made.” And indeed we should.
          Second, he insisted, “The consequences of a rapid exit are both predictable and unacceptable. A hasty withdrawal would create a vacuum that terrorists – including ISIS and al-Qaeda – would instantly fill … We cannot repeat in Afghanistan the mistake our leaders made in Iraq.”
          That was a reference to the fact that liar-nObama’s re-election campaign retreat from Iraq in 2012, after all the blood and treasure our nation sacrificed there. This craven and disastrous decision directly resulted in the rise of the Islamic State and the epic humanitarian crisis which defines B/liar-nO’s foreign policy legacy, and that of liar-Hillary Clinton, his co-conspirator in plowing the field for the emergence of ISIL.
          Finally, Mr. Trump concluded, “The security threats we face in Afghanistan and the broader region are immense. Today, 20 U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations are active in Afghanistan and Pakistan – the highest concentration in any region of the world.”
          Of the example our esteemed military personnel set for American unity, Mr. Trump offered this assessment: “By following the heroic example of those who fought to preserve our republic, we can find the inspiration our country needs to unify, to heal, and to remain one nation under God. The men and women of our military operate as one team, with one shared mission, and one shared sense of purpose. … They transcend every line of race, ethnicity, creed, and color to serve together – and sacrifice together – in perfect cohesion. … They’re all part of the same family; it’s called the American family. … Loyalty to our nation demands loyalty to one another. Love for America requires love for all its people. When we open our hearts to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice. … The young men and women we send to fight our wars abroad deserve to return to a country that is not at war with itself at home. We cannot remain a force for peace in the world if we are not at peace with each other.”
          If the president holds to this Reaganesque standard for his remarks, his conservative agenda might have a chance of succeeding.
          On a final note, while our Patriot staff is on leave, there are two business issues I want to bring to your attention.
          First, we’ve been provided a “Liberty Pace Car” to sell to support The Patriot. This vehicle is among the fastest production cars in the world – an American made Dodge Viper ACR – and I invite you to review the race car specs. I would appreciate your help to find a buyer! (Inquiries, please email LibertyPaceCar@PatriotPost.US)
          Second, in the most recent printing of our “Patriot’s Primer on American Liberty,” there was a minor printing layout error, although all the original content is present. Though the printer reprinted these correctly for us, we now have a large quantity of Primers with that layout error, which we would like to give to you for distribution. We are offering these for the cost of shipping only so place your order here – first come, first served until we are sold out. (If you are regional and want to pick up a large quantity, send an email to staff@patriotshop.us)
          As always, thank you for supporting our Mission of Service to America’s Military Patriots and their families.  ~The Patriot Post

Trump Compares His Pardon Of Lawman Arpaio To Criminals, Donors by liar-Clinton, liar-nObama

{rickwells.us} ~ During a news conference held with the President of Finland, President Trump answered a question regarding his pardon of Sheriff Joe Arpaio and defended his actions... John Roberts asked, “In the middle of Hurricane Harvey hitting on Friday night, you chose to pardon former Sheriff Joe Arpaio. I wonder if you could tell us what was behind your thinking for issuing a pardon for the sheriff and as well, what do you say to your critics, even some in your own party, who say it was the wrong thing to do?” Trump responds off the cuff at first, but he had some notes he prepared for the very likely question. After first noting that Arpaio, who was very strong on illegal immigration and border security, was treated very badly by the liar-nObama regime...  http://rickwells.us/trump-compares-pardon-lawman-arpaio-criminals-donors-clinton-obama/

Local reporters arriving at the Arizona state capitol in mid-August witnessed a man vandalizing a nearby Confederate monument. The Confederate Troops Memorial at Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza was spray-painted white on one side, with a white cross drawn on the bottom. The suspect, carrying two aerosol spray cans, was able to flee the scene before law enforcement arrived. It was the second time the monument had been vandalized. The same week that memorial was defaced, a statue on U.S. 60 dedicated to Jefferson Davis, president of the confederacy, was tarred and feathered by unknown assailants...This got to be stop.  http://www.westernjournalism.com/confederate-statues-across-country-continue-vandalized/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=patriotupdate&utm_campaign=weeklypm&utm_content=libertyalliance

{truthrevolt.org} ~ As TruthRevolt’s Hannah Mayer reported on Monday, the HuffPost recently published an America-hating op-ed by David Fagin who claimed soldiers develop racist beliefs as an “unfortunate side effect” of serving their country... Echoing our disgust, but providing a much-needed insiders perspective, is retired Army Ranger JC Glick who wrote an open letter to the HuffPost to ask for a “public correction or retraction” to its “damaging" piece. “I cannot more strongly condemn your choice to publish ‘Becoming A Racist: The Unfortunate Side Effect of Serving Your Country?’ (David Fagin, 8/17/17),” Glick writes. “This is irresponsible and damaging journalism, and it merits a response and public correction or retraction.”...  http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/army-ranger-condemns-huffpost-irresponsible-hit-piece-vets

Gen McInerney – Expect Japan To

{rickwells.us} ~ The news reports describe the situation with North Korea’s firing of a missile over Japan as “tensions rising.” That’s undoubtedly accurate but it only tells part of the story as it is the result of increasing deliberate provocations by Kim Jong-in... He’s undoubtedly going to keep pushing until he goes too far. The question is where will the world be when he reaches that point. The missile fired today reportedly traveled over northern Japan and broke into three pieces before falling into the sea. Retired Lt. General Thomas McInerney says he’s very disturbed by the launch, describing it as “very worrisome.” An emergency alert system in Japan was activated as the missiles were approaching, not the kind of thing that will go unnoticed and without a response of some type...  http://rickwells.us/mcinerney-expect-japan-arm-latest-n-korea-missile-launch/

So, California Is Considering Taxing Drinking Water

{townhall.com} ~ So, in the land of progressivism that is the state of California, the legislature could be imposing a tax on drinking water aimed at repairing the state’s public water works. It will be 95¢ a month that is projected to generate $2 billion in revenue over the next 15 years. Surprisingly environmentalists and farmers have forged an alliance on this issue. The farmers want contaminated water cleaned due to the runoff from their farms. Farms will face fees that will total $30 million in revenue annually to help with the needed repairs. This is still going to be a fight in the state legislature, however. And the water companies don’t seem too keen on becoming the state’s tax collector on this issue. Kate Murphy of The Mercury News has all the details about this new measure:
Senate Bill 623, backed by a strange-bedfellows coalition of the agricultural lobby and environmental groups but opposed by water districts, would generate $2 billion over the next 15 years to clean up contaminated groundwater and improve faulty water systems and wells. The problem is most pervasive in rural areas with agricultural runoff.
 
[…]
 
SB 623 has been moving through the Legislature for months, but was amended Monday to include the tax on water for both homes and businesses. It also imposes fees on farms and dairies, roughly $30 million annually, to address some of the contamination caused by fertilizers and other chemicals. Because it includes new taxes, the proposal will need a two-thirds vote in each house to pass, which supporters concede will be a battle.
 
[…]
 
…water agencies say taxing drinking water sets a dangerous precedent and that the bill would turn them into state tax collectors. “Water is essential to life. Should we tax drinking water? We don’t think so,” said Cindy Tuck, a spokeswoman for the Association of California Water Agencies.
 
Sue Stephenson, a spokeswoman for the Dublin San Ramon Services District, said she supported the intent of the proposal — potable drinking water for all — but argued that lawmakers should use the money in existing coffers.
 
“The whole purpose of the general fund is to help take care of disadvantaged communities,” she said. “There’s no reason that they could not also fund communities that need access to drinking water.”
 
[…]
 
SENATE BILL 623
 
What is it? SB 623, by Sen. Bill Monning, D-Monterey, would generate $2 billion over 15 years for a Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund, which would provide emergency water and longer-term system fixes for hundreds of communities whose tap water doesn’t meet safe drinking-water standards.
 
Where would the money come from? The proposal would generate roughly $110 million per year through a 95-cent monthly fee on home water bills as well as taxes on businesses of up to $10 per month. Another $30 million would come from higher fees on agricultural and dairy businesses, industries whose chemicals contribute to the problem of contaminated groundwater.
 
Who’s for it? Who’s against it? The bill is backed by the agriculture and dairy lobbies, as well as by a long list of environmental, social justice and civic groups — an unusual combo. Water districts are against the bill, saying that taxing water users creates a bad precedent and that collecting the money would be burdensome.
So, what isn’t taxed in California?

 The Election Results Are In ... Now Govern

by Robin Smith:  Remember the head explosions of the media, liar-Hillary Clinton and even Republican gasps of indignation when Donald Trump, the GOP presidential nominee, honestly answered in an October 2016 debate that he could not commit to accept the election outcome unconditionally? liar-Hillary screeched how “horrifying” it was for him to denigrate “democracy” in America. Yet Trump’s answer was based on reports of irregularities in polling places, which even included illegal immigrants casting votes.
          The grasp of reality of the election results still seems elusive to the Left. Even for many within the GOP, whose objective is seemingly re-election rather than principled policy rooted in conservative governance, it’s abundantly clear that ignoring American voters is their plan.
          While liar-Hillary resurfaces, again, with a new book, “What Happened,” the tome itself as well as her promotions point to an embittered blame-shifter whose coronation was ground to a halt by a political novice promising to drain the swamp of Washington and eliminate the status quo. White House Special Advisor Kellyanne Conway referenced in several news interviews last week her knowledge that Democrats “just want liar-Hillary to disappear [and] go away.” In June, The Hill published a piece with the open statement, “Democrats say they’d like liar-Hillary Clinton to take a cue from former President liar-nObama and step out of the spotlight.”
          Meanwhile, Democrats, operating in the minority in the House and Senate, maneuver to muck up any legislative progress. But the facts are pretty simple: If the GOP members of Congress would stick together, the role of Democrats would be almost negligible.
          Oh, but don’t be shocked that Republicans are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by embarrassingly flailing in disunity and dysfunction.
          The refrain coming from Republican voters is loud, unanimous and growing in frustration that for seven years, day after day, fundraising emails, letters, campaign mail for candidates, social media posts, everything declared that once the GOP had the majority and the White House, liar-nObamaCare would be repealed and replaced with a solution that took government’s federal grip off the doctor-patient relationship, returned choice and control to patients and addressed the soaring costs of health services.
          We all know what actually happened. The House strained to pass a bill despite having 240 Republican members to 194 Democrats. Then the Senate, using the reconciliation budget rules to leverage a simple majority, failed by one vote, despite having 52 Republicans, with the 53rd being Vice President Mike Pence.
          Not only did seven years pass with member after member voicing their pledges in campaign material to repeal liar-nObamaCare, but America watched as a GOP House and Senate did nothing, zippo, to stop Barack liar-nObama’s open border policies. Now, after the unquestionable support of the American public for a physical wall to be built in certain areas along our southern border, the GOP congressional leadership is withholding support by excluding it from the continuing resolution needed to raise the federal debt ceiling.
          Then we see that tax reform was deemed a “priority” by the Republicans who, like House Speaker Paul Ryan, viewed this as a lynchpin to the success of an economic turn-around to not just halt the excessive taxation but to stimulate growth, encourage hiring and improve wages. Yet nothing’s been done on that front either.
          But let’s quickly look back at a January 11, 2017 article from The Hill, “What Congress Could Do in Trump’s first 100 days.” Please notice, appropriately, Congress is connoted as the body with the jurisdiction to formulate legislation. Congress was indeed touting its planned agenda and accomplishments to mirror that of the Trump agenda, even within the first 100 days of the new Republican administration.
          In the piece prospecting the new agenda, Cristina Marcos catalogues first liar-nObamaCare, then tax reform, followed by infrastructure spending, reversing liar-nObama-era regulations and, finally, immigration, which included the construction of a border wall.
          The first sentences of the analysis read, “Congress is readying for a full-on sprint once President-elect Donald Trump takes office next week. Republicans are hoping to capitalize on Trump’s momentum during his first 100 days to enact a host of legislation. Repealing liar-nObamaCare is first on the docket, while funding an expansion of the ‘big, beautiful wall’ along the Mexican border famously promised by Trump could be the critical period’s grand finale.”
          Donald Trump’s agenda has not changed. The invertebrate members of the House and Senate who have developed collective amnesia to go with their inability to stand erect are clear obstacles. As long as they were only reading talking points and casting votes on bills that would never be signed into law, many Republicans were on board.
          Well, the election results are in. America spoke loudly and expects a certain set of policies implemented. No, America didn’t vote for Donald Trump hoping he’d change his demeanor and become like the more polished and refined Beltway Elite of the swamp. Americans want promises kept and a Republican House, Senate and White House to govern using conservative, principled policies.

{dailywire.com} ~ Amidst apparent riots in Berkeley by Antifa members, the Berkeley police once again stood aside and allowed violence to flourish... On Sunday, police in Berkeley maintained a strict perimeter around the area in the beginning of the afternoon, including enforcing an emergency city rule outlawing sticks and other potential weapons from the park. Fifty officers were spread out at the area’s four entrances, according to the Daily Californian. But antifa protesters — armed with sticks and shields and clad in shin pads and gloves — largely routed the security checks and by 1:30 p.m. police reportedly left the security line at the Center Street and Milvaia Street entrance to the park. Berkeley Police Chief Andrew Greenwood told the AP the decision was strategic — a confrontation was sure to spark more violence between the protesters and police...Exactly would happen if enforcement by police was enforced.  http://www.dailywire.com/news/20326/where-hell-are-police-berkeley-ben-shapiro?utm_source=shapironewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=082817-news-title&utm_campaign=lead

Soros Caught In $7 Billion IRS Scandal
{foxnews.com} ~ Mr. Soros has been using a loophole that was closed in the U.S. in 2008 in order to avoid paying some taxes. Soros used this closed loophole to defer taxes on client fees. He used this illicit money to invest in his tax-free fund... If found guilty of these improprieties, Soros could face an IRS bill worth $7 billion. The money that Soros made from abusing this loophole apparently amounted to $13.3 billion. More galling is the fact that Soros’ illicit money was kept in accounts stationed in Ireland. Amazingly, all of this news about Mr. Soros’ tax avoidance originally came to light in 2015. Since then, alternative media sources have found no evidence that Soros has paid his debts...  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/05/01/george-soros-reportedly-could-face-up-to-7b-tax-bill-after-delaying-payment-for.html

The myth of Mary Tyler Moore-ing Muslim women

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ While actress Mary Tyler Moore passed away earlier this year, her 1970s show represented a television programing breakthrough. The central character was the first portrayal ever of a never-married, independent career woman rather than simply a man's wife...The show's success was driven by Mary's independent spirit, displayed in its weekly opening scene. It became such an iconic symbol of female independence, a statue of Moore stands today at the site of its filming in Minneapolis. In the scene, a gleeful Mary, having toured the city, is shown tossing her tam up into the air. This perception of independence has not been lost upon Muslim producers of a recent, and most remarkable, music video. Very professionally done, it is remarkable because the producers are not mainstream Muslims, but fundamentalists. As such, they are, normally, vehemently opposed to such videos. Rarely is any criticism about Islam voiced from among young Westerners. This primarily stems from knowing very little about the religion and, therefore, lacking any basis for offering criticism...  http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/the-myth-of-mary-tyler-moore-ing-muslim-women?f=must_reads

 Unsportsmanlike Conduct

by Arnold Ahlert:  The American Left’s determination to make everything about politics is proceeding apace.
          The latest insanity emanates from the world of sports — or what used to be the world of sports until progressives decided everything can serve as a bully pulpit for lectures or demonstrations from the nation’s social justice warriors in the broadcast booth or on the field.
          Thus, interim NCAA President Derrick Johnson wants to meet with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss unemployed quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Johnson asserts Kaepernick’s protest “is well within the National Football League’s stated bylaws” and that his failure to be taken by any team “is no sheer coincidence.” Johnson misses the point — twice.
          First, free speech is not “consequence free” speech. Whether leftists like it or not, people can be held accountable for the things they say and do.
          And who’s kidding whom? When it aligns with their ideological sensibilities, leftists do like holding people accountable. People like former Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich, who was forced to resign six years after he contributed $1,000 to support the since-overturned 2008 same-sex marriage ban in California. Or former Harvard president Larry Summers, who lost his job for daring to suggest there might be minor differences in aptitude between men and women working in the STEM fields. Or Google engineer James Damore, who was driven from his job for decrying the company’s “politically correct monoculture.”
          Second, no one is obligated to offer any quarterback a position on an NFL roster, much less one whose talent has declined to the point where he lost his starting position. That decline, plus his potentially fan-alienating assertion that he is “not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” or one where cops are “getting paid leave and getting away with murder,” may not matter to the self-appointed doyens of politically correct racial politics, but for football teams, football — both as a sport and a business — is their primary focus.
          Or as Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy puts it, Kaepernick’s “situation is not good enough to have him on the team with all the attention that comes along with it.”
          Such obvious realities also elude NAACP New York State President Hazel Dukes. She declares the NFL is putting league interests ahead of social issues. (Imagine that!) “Right now,” she insists, “the action of the league seems to imply to young black men that this league, which is comprised of 70 percent African Americans, only values Black lives if they are wearing a football uniform.”
          Dukes, like so many leftists, loves to embrace logical fallacies. If Kaepernick isn’t hired, or the same kind of private business (according to the Supreme Court) as Mozilla, Harvard or Google decides to hold any other player accountable for his actions, those responses are inherently racist. And as Dukes herself implies, embracing the “value” of black lives means embracing #BLM and the requisite anti-police, white “privilege” dogma.
          If the NFL were to #Resist? “There will be no football in the state of Georgia if Colin Kaepernick is not on a training camp roster and given an opportunity to pursue his career,” declared Gerald Griggs of the Atlanta NAACP at a news conference. “This is not a simple request. This is a statement. This is a demand.”
          Granted, the NFL deserves zero sympathy. It could have nipped this nonsense in the bud, but chose instead to embrace the intrusion of progressive politics into football. And while Goodall denied it had anything whatsoever to do with the league’s plummeting ratings last year, a J.D. Powers survey revealed anthem protests were the number one reason for the decline. And it’s likely to get worse, because the number of players involved in these demonstrations is increasing. The higher the visibility, the greater the fan alienation.
          Leftists are also determined to maintain the narrative of Kaepernick’s folk hero status to the point of absurdity. “Free agent NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick will be featured in a Black Lives Matter collection at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, museum curators announced this weekend,” The Daily Signal reports.
          What else does it report? “Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, the nation’s longest-serving black justice, remains absent from the museum.” Thus, an America-contemptuous, second-string quarterback is an historical icon while a conservative Supreme Court Justice is an Orwellian-like non-entity.
          A museum dedicated to African-American History and Culture? A temple of progressive propaganda is more like it.
          Speaking of progressive propaganda temples — and more PC-motivated insanity — ESPN yanked Asian-American announcer Robert Lee off the William and Mary at University of Virginia college football game “because of the coincidence of his name,” the network announced in a statement. “In that moment it felt right to all parties. It’s a shame that this is even a topic of conversation and we regret that who calls play by play for a football game has become an issue.”
          An issue for whom? The cadre of hypersensitive left-wing zealots engaged in the ISIS-like destruction of historical artifacts that “offend” them? People so IQ-challenged they would conflate an Asian-American college football announcer with a Confederate general who died in 1870?
          ESPN President John Skipper was apparently feeling the self-inflicted heat, yet his attempt to clarify what occurred was even more ludicrous. Lee was not removed because network execs were worried about offending people. “Among our Charlotte production staff there was a question as to whether — in these divisive times — Robert’s assignment might create a distraction, or even worse, expose him to social hectoring and trolling,” stated Skipper in an internal memo. Skipper further insisted Lee expressed “some personal trepidation about the [Charlottesville] assignment” and that the “good intentions of our Charlotte colleagues have been intentionally hijacked by someone with a personal agenda.”
          Since Skipper took over in 2012, ESPN’s agenda has been hijacked to the point where it has been force-feeding its audience a steady diet of social justice issues so politically correct, it even apologized for running a live fantasy football draft likened to a slave auction by leftists trolls.
          And like the NFL, it is paying the price: Since 2013, the sports network has lost 10 million subscribers.
          Progressive writer Freddie deBoer illuminates the primary problem. “Go to any space concerned with social justice and what will you find? Endless surveillance,” he writes. “Everybody is to be judged.”
          And therein lies progressivism’s Achilles Heel: all-encompassing and increasingly judgmental demands for “purity” that become impossible for even the most dedicated social justice warriors to meet.
          Remarkably, neither the NFL nor ESPN seem to understand that most fans turn to sports to escape politics. Millions of people who tune in to watch football or sports reporting will tune out when confronted with virtue-signaling one-percenters demonstrating their “solidarity” with progressive America-bashers.
          In short, Americans are getting disgusted with the unsportsmanlike conduct infesting the world of sports.

 Justice for Sheriff Arpaio 
_H8Pdik3ojvzESuyQSKobOkFmlyjXvQC-cFfzKVDdDPosBCLf2g2XbHUupxF-VBCOLftMtAvBJwFzvl5SLlh34MERRwCgB0_lvlWhTH7q7QX6IdGqrwDIBWRUl_ywVs=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
by Political Editors: President Donald Trump on Friday pardoned former Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the long-serving Arizona lawman famous for his tough stance against illegal immigration. Trump tweeted, “I am pleased to inform you that I have just granted a full Pardon to 85 year old American patriot Sheriff Joe Arpaio. He kept Arizona safe!” Arpaio had been recently found guilty of contempt of court charges for disregarding a judge’s orders. Several Republicans criticized Trump’s decision, including both of Arizona’s senators, RINO-John McCain and RINO-Jeff Flake, who no doubt are making their own political calculations.
          But Republicans criticized Trump’s pardon over concerns that it seems to contradict Trump’s law-and-order platform. House Speaker Paul Ryan’s spokesman, Doug Andres, said, “The speaker does not agree with the decision. Law-enforcement officials have a special responsibility to respect the rights of everyone in the United States. We should not allow anyone to believe that responsibility is diminished by this pardon.”
          Arpaio may have crossed the line disregarding the court order, and his tactics of enforcement were at least arguable. But there is little doubt that the prosecution of Arpaio was a political witch hunt. The Left had been seeking to take him down for years, with the American Civil Liberties Union suing Arpaio in 2008 for racial profiling. After years of litigation, Arpaio’s department was exonerated, yet the Left was successful in sticking a contempt of court ruling against him. In any case, he lost his last re-election bid.
          Trump saw the prosecution of Arpaio for what it was — an attempt to take down a prolific conservative lawman. There is little to support the notion that Arpaio was corrupt. He was simply a hard-nosed sheriff who worked to deal with one of the biggest problems of lawlessness in his county, illegal immigration. Trump simply sought to make things right, something George W. Bush failed to do after the Left took down Scooter Libby during the whole Valerie Plame affair.  ~The Patriot Post

{rickwells.us} ~ The brainwashing of millennials and the targeted generation that follows them, whatever their moniker ends up being, is an obvious, sad and pathetic exploitation of their naiveté and immaturity... Many would describe it as a premeditated act of criminal abuse, child abuse if the age criteria fit. Adolescent teens and young adults don’t usually have the experience and wisdom to recognize when they’re being fed an excrement burger deluxe, diving right in and swallowing every offensive morsel. They’re being led by the trashiest of people, the type that Michelle liar-nObama might consider role model material, Beyonce type sluts and thugs of the type most loving parents work to protect their children from. On stupid television awards shows they’re presented as being worthy of emulation...  http://rickwells.us/vma-freak-leftist-trashes-trump-indoctrinates-kids-good-little-globalist-comrades/

{israeltoday.co.il} ~ US President Donald Trump was initially no fan of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, which ended up being America's most expensive weapons project ever... But Israel's been pretty happy with the new plane since taking possession of its first five such aircraft back in December 2016. In fact, Jerusalem is so pleased with what's called the "Adir" in Israel, that it's ordered an additional 17 F-35s to go with the original order of 33 planes, for a total fleet of 50 aircraft. The planes will arrive in Israel as they are built, a process that will take several years. By 2021, Israel is expected to take possession of all 33 planes from the original order, and by 2024 the full 50-aircraft fleet will be deployed...  http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/32267/Default.aspx

{themuslimissue.wordpress.com} ~ Mohammed bin Zayed allegedly befriended and gave shelter to Libyan Mohammed Ismail (AFP). A Libyan spy who acted as the bagman in a botched plot to kill the late Saudi king Abdullah has close links to the de facto ruler of the UAE... according to claims made by a son of Muammar Gaddafi that rock Saudi claims of Qatari involvement. Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir this month claimed Qatar’s former emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, plotted in 2003 with the former Libyan dictator to kill Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, the then-Saudi crown prince, in Mecca...  https://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/2017/08/28/friend-of-uae-ruler-bin-zayed-ran-plot-to-kill-saudi-crown-prince/

{theacru.org} ~ Conservatives groups launched a multimillion-dollar campaign on Monday to push the Senate to confirm President Donald Trump's judicial nominees, helping break the gridlock in the Senate so the White House can fill more than 100 vacancies on the federal bench... The Judicial Crisis Network (JCN) is leading the charge, launching a $500,000 ad campaign to persuade recalcitrant senators to allow nominees to get through the vetting and committee process so that they are permitted a final vote on the Senate floor. It is expected that every one of President Trump's nominees would be approved by a majority of senators if allowed such a vote...  http://www.theacru.org/conservative-groups-launch-campaign-to-break-senate-gridlock-on-trumps-judicial-nominees/

Judges of the Palestinian Authority (PA) justice system protest in Al-Bireh
 by Khaled Abu Toameh
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ The Palestinian Authority (PA) is facing sharp criticism over its attempt to "encroach" on the judicial authority and turn it into a tool in the hands of President Mahmoud Abbas... Palestinian lawyers, judges and legal experts say that a new bill proposed by the PA government in the West Bank would have a negative impact on the independence and integrity of the judiciary system. The PA leadership's bid to take control over the judicial authority comes on the heels of an ongoing crackdown on the Palestinian media and journalists. In recent weeks, PA security forces have blocked more than 20 news websites and arrested scores of journalists. In addition, Abbas has approved a Cyber Crimes Law that gives his security forces expanded powers to silence his critics on social media... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10903/palestinians-destroying-judiciary#continued

 Harvey: History Repeats?

by Nate Jackson:  George W. Bush Donald Trump completely botched the federal response to Hurricane Katrina  Harvey, undermining confidence in the executive and permanently tarnishing his presidency. That’s the Leftmedia narrative already, and the hope for these leftist propagandists is clearly to hang Harvey around Trump’s neck the way they successfully did with Katrina and Bush in 2005. The fake news media falsely blamed Bush for failing in the response then, and subsequently continually referenced back to it the rest of his presidency so as to undermine him. Democrats swept the next two elections, taking control of Congress and the White House. If history can just repeat itself, Democrats hope…
          Keep that in mind in the coming days as you see repeated human interest tales of individuals stranded amidst the rising flood waters, such as the elderly folks in a nursing home, or people without food or possessions, and so on. The media’s even running ACLU propaganda about border checkpoints as real news. The plight of citizens in Texas and Louisiana, where the storm is now hovering, is real and help will come, but the media will politicize the stories to blame Trump. What was it Rahm Emanuel once said about “never letting a serious crisis go to waste”?
          Funny, though, that all Barack liar-nObama had to do was show up in New Jersey and hug Gov. Chris Christie after Superstorm Sandy, and he was a competent hero.
          And if it’s not Trump, it’s the usual culprit — global warming climate change. Various Leftmedia outlets breathlessly relayed how much worse storms are because of climate change, though there are two key things to bear in mind. First, category 3, 4 and 5 storms have hit the U.S. for decades, and second, it’s been more than a decade since the last one. Not every natural disaster is a result of burning fossil fuels. There have been stronger storms than Harvey; it’s not like this particular storm’s strength is anything unprecedented. What is rare is how slow it is. Landfall occurred Friday night and it could impact the same areas for several more days, but that’s because of a lack of atmospheric steering winds.
          As Mark Alexander put things in perspective after Katrina in 2005, “Amid all of this rancorous debate about who’s to blame and who will foot the bill, the plight of those on the Gulf Coast who actually lost family members, homes and businesses somehow gets lost. Those at ground level are not worrying about political agendas. They’re busy trying to provide for their families. Or perhaps they’re searching through the rubble, trying to find fragments of family heirlooms and photographs. It is for them that we continue to pray every day.”  ~The Patriot Post

{rickwells.us} ~ What could be a winning strategy to thwart the menace of Soros – liar-nObama globalist thuggery could be emerging as a sort of “commie goons judo,”... in which their own uncontrolled hatred and cowardice, combined with their feeble minds, are used in combination against Antifa and their ilk. There is a weakness to their method and their immoral character. When they get their little black hearts set on vandalism and inflicting pain, they can’t control themselves. Rather than accept that all is peaceful and there’s nobody they disagree with moving freely about this supposed “free country,” they’ll still travel to the site to impose their authoritarian will upon patriot nationalists, self-determination supporting, anti-communist citizens, even if they’re probably not there. That’s one weakness that, exploited properly, could be their undoing. Another is their cowardice and their knowledge that their premeditated acts of violence against people and property will likely be caught on video and there’s a fair chance, if their faces aren’t covered, they’ll be going to jail once their identity is discovered...  http://rickwells.us/bait-and-bail-tricking-antifa-goons-into-showing-up-to-nothing-getting-arrested/

{conservativezone.com} ~ A recent CNN headline story claimed that leftist Antifa protestors are forced into violence in an effort to restore peace. The network has since backpedaled... changing the headline of the piece amidst public backlash; the news network’s original approach praised violent Antifa protestors and their actions. Despite the quick editorial shift, the fact that CNN would attempt to normalize such a violent group is disturbingly telling. What could have motivated the network to paint this faction in such a positive light? First, we have to get to the bottom of what exactly Antifa is, and how they’ve managed to garner sympathy from the establishment left...  http://www.conservativezone.com/articles/cnn-normalizes-antifa-leftists-seek-peace-through-violence/

Leftists’ Goal Is To Wear Us Down

{townhall.com} ~ They are trying to wear us down.

Although they don’t understand anything about those with whom they are dealing.

Regular folks who love God, their family and their country aren’t the fascists or racists the left makes them out to be, with the daily barrage of propaganda designed to take good people down.

Normal folks don’t have time to entertain the darkness the left promotes. They are too busy working or going to church or tending gardens or splitting wood at night to keep their families warm. Then they go to bed and get up the next day and do it all again.

There is no time for the nonsense littering the internet and television intended to cast guilt over their values and votes. The more insane the left and their propaganda becomes, the more confident they are about the choices they will make in 2018 and 2020.

They have zero interest in protests across the country about which the media incessantly reports. They have no patience for the violence and chaos and destruction. They interpret it as something city folks do when they have too much time on their hands and too much money they didn’t earn in their pockets.

They are intuitive, but too busy to be distracted.

They are fully aware of heavily funded temper tantrum groups ingratiated by the Democrat Party such as the former Occupy Movement. A movement whose members expressed their adulation for spreading the wealth around by spreading their own feces around public places during Barack liar-nObama’s first term. Normal people respect and appreciate cops, so they were repulsed when an occupier disrespectfully did the “big nasty” on a cop car while others poured human waste down a flight of stairs and at a bank ATM vestibule in New York. liar-nObama and Congressional Democrats cheered them on.

And whose mental state are we currently questioning?

Those who learned stamina from the school of hard work were not impressed when reports emerged the Occupy Movement fizzled into obscurity after temperatures dropped and smarmy snowflakes retreated to their taxpayer subsidized safe spaces upon realizing they could tolerate cold about as much as they do opposing opinions.

Now, according to Politico, they are back.

Those who do the right thing every day even when they don’t feel like it, don’t have time to care this group resurrected from dormancy. But they do hope protesters pack diapers or pooper-scoopers this time around because poop disposal fairies do not exist. They resent when their taxes are used to clean up these messes.

Those who work for a living aren’t worried this group, “Refuse Fascism,” has a mission to oust President Trump and threatens to march and demonstrate and occupy city centers and parks until “Trump and Vice President Mike Pence have fallen,” as Politico reports.

We all should be concerned, though, that one of this group’s lead organizers is “a Maoist activist,” as Politico reports. The left is full of history-challenged non-thinkers who have no clue that Mao Zedong was a mass murdering communist dictator whose policies killed tens of millions of people by starving, working and beating them to death.

While millions less people on the planet might excite someone like Gloria Steinem who recently said, “forcing women to have children” is the “fundamental cause of climate change,” those who value life find it concerning Democrats have not disavowed this Maoist activist group organizer.

This should also serve as a reminder to the miniscule fraction of rightwing never-Trumpers that the enemy of your enemy is not always your friend.

With that said, and this column complete, I need to get to work. Sorry Gloria, it’s been snowing in our mountains here since early August, so I must sign off to go outside to split more wood.

In addition to failing to register under the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) for his lobbying on behalf of Russia’s largest bank, Sberbank, the Podesta Group’s 32 meetings with Ukraine as lobbyists during liar-Hillary Clinton’s tenure at the State Department, Uranium One, Joule Energy and countless other “mental lapses” when his collusion completely slipped his mind, a new instance comes to light. Just a few days ago, on August 17th, the Podesta Group belatedly filed several new disclosures with the Justice Department. They are relevant to the lobbying performed between 2012 and 2014 for a pro-Russia Ukrainian think tank. More Russian collusion by the Democrats – Adam Schiff needs to know about this. It could be vital to his “objective” Russian campaign collusion investigation...I do think he knows, but is looking the other way.  http://rickwells.us/absent-minded-podesta-forgot-report-working-russia/

Abbas reportedly told Kushner that he'd work together with the Trump Administration to find a solution to the Israeli-Arab conflict. But just days earlier, the Palestinian Authority (PA) had said that, behind closed doors, it would also give Kushner a firm ultimatum -- deliver Israeli concessions within 45 days, or we "blow up" your peace process...  http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/32260/Default.aspx

McCain (DDG-56) was a victim of a cyber attack... making it more likely that mechanical failure or crew error is to blame for the Aug. 21 collision between the destroyer and a chemical tanker. Operation Orion Hammer, the Navy tasking to investigate potential cyber interference in the operation of the guided-missile destroyer, has not uncovered any indications that a cyber attack affected the ship’s control systems just prior to the crash, three Navy officials confirmed to USNI News on Thursday.

Cheap Talk
by Tom McLaughlin
1554277-Phil-Hellmuth-Quote-If-you-never-bluff-you-ll-rarely-get-called-If.jpg
{tommclaughlin.blogspot.com} ~ Actions speak louder than words. Talk is cheap. Put up or shut up. Prove it.
7e78f081.jpeg
There are many ways to say it, but they all come down to one thing: Do you mean what you say? For anyone claiming to be a leader that means warn once, then execute. Never bluff.
mapa-osirak.jpg
When Saddam Hussein first took steps develop nuclear capabilities in the Iraqi desert, Israel sent jets in to destroy his facility at Osirak. In and out went the planes — a surgical strike. That was June, 1981. When Bashar Assad built a nuclear facility in Syria called Al Kibar for the same purpose, Israeli jets destroyed that too. In and out went the planes — another surgical strike. That was September, 2007.
57304.jpeg
Syria's Al Kibar destroyed
With the destruction of Osirak, Israeli Prime Minister Menachim Begin established his doctrine: “prevent confrontation states … from gaining access to nuclear weapons.” Both Iraq and Syria had tried to invade Israel after declaring it had no right to exist.
AR-170709629.jpg%2526maxh%253D400%2526maxw%253D667.jpeg
When the Kim dynasty was threatening the United States and simultaneously building nuclear facilities in North Korea, American military officials advised sending jets in to destroy them. President liar-Clinton instead deployed former President Carter and a lead negotiator named Wendy Sherman for talks. They came up with the 1994 deal under which North Korea promised to freeze its nuclear program. In return, the United States gave $4 billion to develop nuclear reactors that would ostensibly be for generating electricity. We also gave them $100 million in oil and some food.
DGG_oPXXcAEM0Ii.jpg
Then in 1998, two things happened: One — North Korea was caught sending missile technology to Pakistan, itself a nuclear power, Two — it tested an ICBM. Four years later in 2006, North Korea tested its first nuclear weapon. That same year, Israeli intelligence photos showed North Korean workers helping to build the Al Kibar reactor in Syria the Israelis later destroyed. Clearly, the liar-Clinton/Carter/Sherman agreement was a disaster and North Korea couldn’t be trusted. In the middle of all this, however, Carter won the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize.
nobel-peace-prize-22149-20120625-475.jpg
All through the George W. Bush administration, aid to North Korea was suspended and restarted, talks were restarted and suspended and restarted over and over. Long story short, North Korea continued testing missiles and nuclear devices, just as it is today. One thing Bush did was declare Iran, Iraq, and North Korea “The Axis of Evil” which the left criticized as too simplistic. President liar-nObama repeated the bluffing and talking cycle during his eight years with about the same results.
obama-clinton.jpg
Hey, what could go wrong?
Thus did the Kim Jong Il learn how gullible the United States and the United Nations could be. He continued promising to stop developing nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them — and the USA continued sending aid for his starving citizens. When he wasn’t making fools of US presidents, he would stay up late watching old Daffy Duck cartoons. Meanwhile, his chubby son Kim Jong Un was taking notes.
Obama-Fool-Iran.jpg
So were the Mullahs in Iran. They played the same game with Presidents Bush and liar-nObama and got everything they wanted. liar-nObama even used the same chief negotiator, Wendy Sherman, that President liar-Clinton used for the 1994 debacle. liar-nObama and hanoi-Kerry insist Iran will not have nukes for ten or fifteen years. Can we trust Iran to comply until then? About as much as we can trust North Korea — which is not at all. We cannot send inspectors into Iran to verify compliance because Iran inspects itself under the Wendy Sherman/John hanoi-Kerry agreement — and they get back their $150 billion in frozen assets up front.
unnamed.jpg
Why didn’t anyone get tough with the Kims? Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon said out loud what everyone suspected just before he resigned: “Until somebody solves the part of the equation that shows me that 10 million people in Seoul don’t die in the first 30 minutes from conventional weapons, I don’t know what you’re talking about. There’s no military solution here; they got us.” He was talking, of course, about the 10,000 mobile artillery pieces aimed at Seoul, South Korea. We have no way of neutralizing them.
6a00d8341c72e153ef017d3bc2b3fa970c-800wi.jpg
How about in Iran? Were we ever able to take out Iranian nukes militarily? Yes, but not without pain. Iran has Hezbollah proxy armies in Lebanon and Syria ready to use rockets and other assets against Israel, not to mention another proxy army in Gaza under Hamas. Nonetheless, Israel was ready and willing to attack Iran’s nuke facilities just as it had Iraq’s and Syria’s. Saudi Arabia would have allowed Israeli planes to fly over its air space to Iran. If the USA had supplied two things: in-air refueling for Israeli jets and bunker-busting technology for destroying underground facilities, Israel would have attacked. Many expected President Bush to help out, but he never did. Nobody ever expected President liar-nObama to.
 
IRAN-BOMB.jpg
In Bush’s Axis of Evil triumvirate, North Korea has nukes and Iran will soon. Thanks to Israel, Iraq won’t. Now it’s all in Trump’s hands.

The anti-American, anti-white, drug cartel gun-runner Holder sent out a Tweet on Sunday that read, “Number of times over six years that ‘president’ liar-nObama called and asked me to think about dropping a case: ZERO.” Holder attempts to construct a false equivalence between his situation as a corrupt AG in a corrupt communist Islamic regime and our honest President Trump who has an honest, although tentative, Attorney General in Jeff Sessions.

In Berkley, Boston and San Francisco, the First Amendment doesn’t exist anymore. The threat of violence that shut down the Patriot Prayer demonstration in San Francisco, an event scheduled to feature African American, Samoan and Latino speakers, is a case of fascism justifying itself by flying the false flag of “anti-fascism.” And it is the third such case this week – the others being Boston and Berkeley. The founder of Patriot Prayer, Joey Gibson, is a Japanese American who regards himself as a “person of color” and who had made it very clear that he opposes Neo-Nazis and white supremacists, and who has publicly stated that his goal is to promote “love” not hate.

Apparently, the President and the First Lady will not be attending the annual awards bash at the Kennedy Center because three of the five recipients -- TV writer/producer Norman Lear, singer Lionel Richie and dancer/choreographer Carmen De Lavallade -- all announced they would skip the reception at the White House over their political objections to Donald Trump.  Trump, in turn, said he would skip the awards because he didn’t want to serve as a distraction.

I suspect that the trio, especially, Mr. Lear, will take advantage of Trump’s absence to promote their own leftist agenda, just as their kind inevitably do at other similar events, such as the Oscars, the Emmys, the Grammys and the Democratic presidential convention, where various notables get to display their hypocrisy and political myopia for the entire world to see.

Just for the record, it appears that the other two honorees, Gloria Estefan, a singer, and LT Cool J (born James Todd Smith), a hip-hop artist, were okay with meeting Mr. and Mrs. Trump.  I wonder if their base will ever forgive them for their moral lapse.

● Speaking of President Trump, I finally disagree with him on a major issue.  After 16 years, I fail to see the point of sending a few thousand more American troops into Afghanistan.  I understand that once again, we are being told that their role will be mainly the training of the Afghans so that they can hold their own against the Taliban.

Our own troops go through 16 weeks of basic training, but apparently the Afghans still can’t tie their own shoes after 16 interminable years.

I don’t have the slightest idea what victory would look like in that part of the world.  Assuming we don’t intend to level it with a nuclear bomb or two, the government would remain one of the most corrupt and tribal-oriented in the world.  Its main export would continue to be the basic ingredient of heroin.  Its population would continue to consist of Muslims who hate us as much or more than they hate the Taliban.

Over the past 16 years, we have lost roughly 2,500 Americans fighting in this seemingly endless war, with another 20,000 American troops who have been wounded, all at a cost to the American taxpayer of a trillion dollars.

What's more, a great many of the murders were committed by our Afghan allies.

It’s beginning to take on the aspect of the Hundred Years’ War, which was a series of conflicts during the Middle Ages that pit the English House of Plantagenet against the French House of Valois, over succession to the French throne.  It managed to keep five generations of kings occupied.

So far, Afghanistan has kept two American presidents hopping, and now a third has jumped on board for no rational reason.

When it came to Afghanistan, even the Russians knew when it was time to finally throw in the bloody towel.

If I were Trump, I would announce that we had won and then get our troops the hell out of the godforsaken pig sty, and let the natives get back to doing what they do best; namely, slaughtering each other in the name of Allah.

● I just recently discovered that it was not Voltaire, but Evelyn Beatrice Hall, who was the source of the line “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

The connection is that Miss Hall (1868-1956), a British author wrote the line in one of her biographies of Voltaire (1694-1778), as a way of summing up his beliefs when it came to free speech.

What’s fascinating to me is that Voltaire was the pen name of Francois-Marie Arouet, and Miss Hall used the pen name, S.G. Tallentyre in writing two books, “The Life of Voltaire” and “The Friends of Voltaire” about her hero.

But, in 1903, a third writer, her brother-in-law, High Stowell Scott (1862-1903), left Miss Hall a small fortune in “token of my gratitude for her continued assistance and literary advice, without which I should never have been able to make a living with my pen.”  And he, too, employed a nom de plume, Henry Seton Merriman.

I suppose if Voltaire, Hall and Scott had ever been able to dine together, Arouet, Tallentyre and Merriman, would have had to sit at a different table.  Perhaps at a table that called itself a chair or a sofa.

● Things have gotten so bad in America that whites are prohibited from denying the existence of white privilege even if they’re poor and living on welfare or working a double shift at Walmart.

Well-to-do white males are pilloried if they suggest that they owe their success to working harder than others in school, longer hours in the workplace or perhaps inventing something that millions of people hadn’t even realized they couldn’t live without, whether it was a computer or a special pillow.

In the same way, men are told they’re not entitled to voice an opinion when it comes to abortions.  They are merely expected to nod whenever someone with a uterus claims she can do whatever she wants with her body, including committing infanticide.

White people are banned from commenting on the plight of urban blacks -- not one of whom is in chains or picking cotton -- even if it’s only to point out that if success is the goal, dropping out of high school, having children out of wedlock and dealing or using heroin or cocaine, is not the best way to go about it.  That is, unless you can catch a football, dunk a basketball or carry a tune.

● Being a Nazi today doesn’t require brandishing a swastika or wearing a Halloween costume.  All it takes is behaving like one.

The difference between burning books in the 1930s in Berlin and shouting down people who write books and chasing them off the premises in Berkeley is a difference without a distinction.

Today, I dare say there is more freedom of speech in our prisons than on our college campuses.

What has befallen our colleges and universities is at least as troubling as the mob rule we have seen in our streets.  In the streets, it’s left-wing mayors and police chiefs who are more concerned with who is committing the violence than with the violence itself.  On campuses, it’s gutless presidents, deans and professors, who refuse to stand up in defense of the 1st Amendment, so long as the barbarians happen to share their leftist agenda.

Their mantra is that diversity is the only thing that matters, by which they mean more black and brown faces, but never a diversity of ideas.  Anyone who doesn’t parrot the acceptable talking points when it comes to race, abortions, immigration and climate change, will have the door slammed in their face if he or she is naïve enough to seek a teaching position in the so-called Humanities at any college you’ve ever heard of, aside from Hillsdale.

Conservatives can still become tenured professors if they are engaged in science or math, where expertise is still required.  But in the other so-called disciplines, where an ambitious student need only fill his blue books with the left-wing drivel he’s been spoon-fed for four years, a degree is merely proof that some 21-year-old has traded his soul for a 3.5 grade point average.

● Jeff Rice, the pride of Floyd, Virginia, let me know that at a recent Little League game, the Coach allegedly called one of his young players over, leaned down and said: “Do you understand what cooperation is?  What a team is?”

“Yes, Coach.”

“Do you understand that what matters is that whether we win or lose, we do it together as a team?”

The little boy nodded.

“So, I’m sure you know,” the Coach went on, “that when you’re called out on strikes, you shouldn’t argue, curse or attack the Umpire, or call him a bad name.  Do you understand all that?”

“Yes, Coach, I do.”

“And when I take you out of the game so that another boy gets to play, it’s not a dumb-ass decision.  It doesn’t mean I’m a fathead or the hindquarters of a donkey.  Right?”

“Right, Coach.”

“Good.  Now go over there and explain all that to your grandmother!”

{rickwells.us} ~ The idiocy within the NFL isn’t confined to the spoiled, self-aggrandizing brats putting on their disgusting public displays attacking our country on the field... While it is potentially deadly to their careers, given the difficulties of the unpopular Colin Kaepernick to find work these days, to impose their political agitation upon millions who were attempting to take a break from reality, they’re not the only idiots involved. The owners, management and coaches would be completely within their rights to demand that the inappropriate nonsense stop immediately. They wouldn’t allow their athlete employees to spit in the faces of their fans or to defecate on the field, but in many ways that’s exactly what they’re doing by allowing these attacks on our country to continue. Nobody tunes in to watch these shameful acts but many do tune out as a result...I will not watch the Browns anymore. They lost me.    http://rickwells.us/ohio-supreme-court-justice-browns-nfl-season-disgraceful-attack-us/

I mean it, that’s a radical idea.” As he returns to his former job, running Breitbart News, a bomb-throwing right-wing website, Mr Bannon wants to make clear that he still loves a scrap. “In the White House I had influence,” he says several times during a long discussion. “At Breitbart, I had power.” Among the particular opponents he has in his sights, said Mr Bannon, seated in a dining-room decorated with Christian iconography and political mementos, are congressional Republicans “Mitch McConnell, I’m going to light him up”, China “Let’s go screw up One Belt One Road” and “the elites in Silicon Valley and Wall Street—they’re a bunch of globalists who have forgotten their fellow Americans.”...  https://www.economist.com/news/united-states/21727089-donald-trumps-adviser-has-gone-his-ideas-stick-around-future-bannonism

That's correct RINO-McCain, wave good-by
by Greg Corombos
{wnd.com} ~Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., is fully behind President Trump’s demand for full congressional funding for a border wall and both he and his constituents are exasperated with the state’s two Republican senators for offering no solutions of their own to overhaul or repeal liar-nObamacare.

Gosar is a member of the House Freedom Caucus who fended off a primary challenger backed by national party allies in 2016. He says the GOP Senate is a major disappointment, with the failure to address liar-nObamacare as the prime example of its inability to get things done.

“What has the Senate done? They copped out on liar-nObamacare. And to my senators Republicans RINO-John McCain and RINO-Jeff Flake, if you didn’t like what the House put forward, where are your ideas?” said Gosar, a dentist who first ran for Congress as part of the tea party wave in 2010.

He says while politicians are posturing, people in his state are suffering from liar-nObamacare.

“We’re catastrophically moving down this pathway where we’re seeing Americans getting a 40-90 percent increase in their premiums coming up. iiar-nObamacare is failing. There’s not enough money to fix it. We’re seeing Medicare being implemented in all the group plans, so it behooves us to be big boys and girls and have that conversation,” said Gosar.

Gosar says the anger of Arizonans towards RINO-McCain and RINO-Flake is palpable everywhere he goes.

“They’re furious at our senators. There isn’t one meeting I don’t have where people are going off on our two senators. Leadership comes at a price and that means you have to put solutions on the table. That means that ‘No’ can’t be your answer, it’s going to be what it takes to be ‘Yes,'” said Gosar.

In addition to hearing his constituents vent about their senators, he’s also hearing about their hardships created by our current health care system.

“I have represented most of the rural parts of Arizona. They’ve got a piece of paper that says they have health insurance but they can’t afford to pay the co-pays and deductibles. It’s a travesty. They see no job growth out here. They don’t see opportunity. Those were all the things they were promised,” said Gosar.

Gosar says Trump has done what we can to improve conditions but Congress needs to do the heavy lifting.

Whether it be tax breaks, tax cuts, getting government out of the way, this president has done his fair share with the Congressional Review Act and with executive orders to streamline the regulatory process. Now Congress has got to respond. It can’t continue working in a broken, dysfunctional fashion,” said Gosar.

Dr. Kelli Ward, a former Arizona state senator, is already running against RINO-Flake in next year’s GOP primary. Ward challenged RINO-McCain last year and lost badly in the primary, leaving some conservatives to push for Gosar and other conservatives to enter the fray.

Gosar says he’s thought about but is not close to any decision.

“We’ll see. That’s as good as we can say at this point in time,” said Gosar. “We want to make sure that we’re doing the right thing at the right time for the right reason. I don’t need another title, I’ve got four titles above congressman: that’s a husband, a father, a citizen, and a doctor,” said Gosar.

Just a few days ago, President Trump held a campaign rally in Phoenix. In addition to sparring with the media and defending his response to the chaos in Charlottesville, Trump demanded Congress fund his central campaign promise of a wall along the southern border, even vowing to shut down the government to make it happen.

Gosar says no one should be surprised by Trump’s blunt tactics.

“This gentleman is not built as a politician and that’s why America voted him in. He’s a disrupter. The business as usual has got to stop. We’re $20 trillion in debt,” said Gosar.

He also says not approving the money would be a huge mistake.

“I don’t think I would cross the president and I don’t think I would cross the American people. This is something the American people want. So far the Senate has let them down in regards to promises they made on liar-nObamacare and so I think they’re getting restless. They don’t see solutions but they see a man that’s struggling to make sure that he honors the promises that he made to those people,” said Gosar.

Gosar also asserts that the controversy over the wall is only a creation of the past decade.

“The wall was authorized over a decade ago and it was a bipartisan effort. A sovereign country has a right to defend and dictate its borders,” said Gosar.

So how did this become such a political lightning rod?

“It’s because the political correctness in the media has gotten into people,” he said.

Another hot-button issue is the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA. He says all contracts ought to be renegotiated every few years and NAFTA has been on the books for more than two decades. He says the issues of border security and trade are very closely linked.

“I think these are all interwoven and I think the president has a good thought process about how to drag all these together to get what he believes the American people want because they voted for him. He made no qualms about border security and building the wall,” said Gosar.

Gosar also applauds Trump sending more border patrol agents and immigration judges to stem the tide of illegal entries and to adjudicate cases much more quickly. He does, however, urge the president to make more personnel nominations in the Justice Department and elsewhere to improve the effort even more.

But with Trump in a very public battle with members of his own party about blame over liar-nObamacare and other issues, will any big ticket items on the GOP agenda actually get done when Congress returns next month?

Gosar says they have no choice.

“Winston Churchill made the famous analogy saying, ‘You can always count on Americans to do the right thing when they’ve exhausted everything else.’ Well, here’s our sign looking at Congress. We’ve exhausted everything else, at least from the House. We’ve got over 200 bills over there waiting on the Senate to take a look at,” said Gosar.

While he can’t say for sure what will get done, Gosar says if one big thing can get to Trump’s desk, other major priorities will fall like dominoes.

“The atmosphere is going to be very confrontational. It’s going to be very high stakes. But once that first brick falls, a lot of this stuff is going to fall right in line,” said Gosar, who personally hopes liar-nObamacare repeal is the first brick to fall.

“I would hope that it’s health care, because I think that sets the stage for tax breaks and the budget and that looks at a positive influence for the American people to move forward,” said Gosar.

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence met with the Cabinet secretaries and other senior administration officials on Saturday to discuss the government’s Hurricane Harvey response and recovery efforts... The president directed officials to “stay fully engaged” and prioritize saving lives of those affected by the Category 4 storm, according to the White House Press Office. Trump directed his team to work in support of the governors of Texas and Louisiana, and offered his prayers to any Americans in harm’s way. “President Trump emphasized his expectations that all departments and agencies stay fully engaged and positioned to support his number one priority of saving lives,” a White House statement read. “He reminded his team that the full impacts of this storm will occur over the next few days with heavy rains and flooding.”...  http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/trump-meets-with-cabinet-about-hurricane-harvey-response-and-recovery-efforts/article/2632669

Whine Over Trump Pardon Of Joe Arpaio

{rickwells.us} ~ You can’t please all of the people all of the time, and there are many times when you shouldn’t want to and there’s no reason on earth to even try.
 
That is the case with those who are wringing their hands and twisting up their undergarments over President Trump’s pardoning of the railroaded former Sheriff of Maricopa County, AZ, Joe Arpaio. Those who are condemning his actions are the very trash who condemn President Trump for everything he does.
 
Unless Trump becomes an avowed communist, denounces all white people as racist homophobes and immediately declares a new “fairness doctrine” where those disadvantaged by “white privilege” get preferential status and free stuff, becomes one of them and betrays America, it will never change and then they would only move on to a different target. Thankfully, he seems to have now given up the futile pursuit of the rainbow or oasis. He’s not going to please them or shut up their incessant whining. Why bother trying – go ahead, complain.
 
Rep Marc Pocan (D-WI) is a homosexual communist who co-chairs the congressional progressive caucus with Rep Raul Grijalva, the Hispanic nationalist racist from Arizona. Pocan signed a letter less than two weeks ago calling for the ouster of Steve Bannon, Sebastian Gorka and Steven Miller from the administration. So far they’ve got two out of three, but progressives never stop complaining. He’s upset they weren’t able to finish off Arpaio and not surprisingly, took exception to the President’s constitutional actions.
 
He tweeted:
Mark Pocan:  Outrageous and completely unacceptable. @realDonaldTrump just embraced white supremacy at an entirely new level. https://twitter.com/jenniferjjacobs/status/901233537269075968 …
President Trump’s former acting Attorney General and liar-nObama loyalist Sally Yates was no surprise as she chimed in, saying
Sally Yates:  With his pardon pen, POTUS reveals his own contempt for our Constitution, our courts, and our founding principles of equality and justice.
Any Democrat who calls for equal justice as she ignores the crimes of liar-Hillary Clinton, her predecessor at AG, Loretta Lynch and James Comey is an utter and indefensible hypocrite. Hussein liar-nObama issued many pardons and commutations to actual criminals who were felons, not railroaded public servants on a misdemeanor. She a political hack and someone who should never have been allowed to assume that AG position.
 
Then there were the two RINOs from Arpaio’s home state of Arizona who didn’t lift a finger to help him while the kangaroo was holding court, RINO-John McCain and RINO-Jeff Flake. They’re both probably still stinging from the negative attention President Trump has given them this past week, with him supporting Flake’s opponent in his upcoming primary.
 
Senator RINO-McCain, who was a cheerleader for the Russia, Russia, Russia and personally sent an envoy to Europe to retrieve the fabricated Russia dossier on President Trump, then delivering it to Comey himself, voiced his inevitable disapproval.
RINO-John McCain :  .@POTUS's pardon of Joe Arpaio, who illegally profiled Latinos, undermines his claim for the respect of rule of law https://www.mccain.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=3B0E692D-FFEB-4F6C-ADF9-C3F598E94D2A …
RINO-McCain went into a bit more detail in a written statement, saying, “Mr. Arpaio was found guilty of criminal contempt for continuing to illegally profile Latinos living in Arizona based on their perceived immigration status in violation of a judge’s orders. The President has the authority to make this pardon, but doing so at this time undermines his claim for the respect of rule of law as Mr. Arpaio has shown no remorse for his actions.” It’s okay for Sheriff Arpaio have no remorse for defending his nation, Songbird.
 
The soon to be former Senator, establishment tool RINO-Jeff Flake (R-AZ), disagrees with the President as well and seems to have forgotten that pardons such as the one granted to Sheriff Arpaio are particularly appropriate when the judicial process has been abused. He tweeted:
RINO-Jeff Flake:  Regarding the Arpaio pardon, I would have preferred that the President honor the judicial process and let it take its course.
It’s good that these anti-American globalists and commies oppose what President Trump did. It reinforces the fact that he did the right thing.

{rickwells.us} ~ Another scalp has been taken in the wake of the ascension of Chief of Staff John Kelly to White House Chief of Staff, that of Dr. Sebastian Gorka... The announcement was made on Friday. His departure comes on the heels of that of Steve Bannon, and leaves only token representation by Stephen Miller and Kellyanne Conway as the pro-MAGA agenda adherents that brought President Trump to the White House in a sea of globalists and Democrats. A White House official spoke anonymously, stating “Sebastian Gorka did not resign, but I can confirm he no longer works at the White House.” One might think that in matters of such importance to his base they might put someone on the record to make the announcement and provide information...  http://rickwells.us/kelly-gets-another-scalp-dr-sebastian-gorka-ousted-trump-white-house/

A question many have asked where does it stop?  It doesn’t!  The latest target is the police... It seems that everything that Americans would ever think to forever remember in a cast of stone or bronze will be offensive to someone, and so, it must be removed. This is all a part of the radical left’s master plan to reconfigure or destroy the First Amendment on the grounds of emotional distress. Not only has the left pushed for the removal of memorials commemorating American soldiers and political leaders, but now it seems as though the police are becoming a target for these historical revisionists...  http://lidblog.com/historical-revisionists-target-police/

The Never-Ending Liberal Bait And Switch

by John Hawkins
{townhall.com} ~ Although a donkey fits the Democrat Party well as a mascot, a shifting goalpost would work even better. With liberals, it’s almost always a bait and switch.

Take the Confederate flag, for example.
 
Back in 2015, liberals demanded that Confederate flags be taken down because Dylann Roof had a picture of one on his Facebook page. Most Republicans, even Southern Republicans, didn’t care all that much about the Confederate flag. So, in South Carolina for example, Republicans voluntarily removed the Confederate flag.

That’s what liberals wanted, right? So, that was it? No, that was the start of the bait and switch.

The Dukes of Hazzard was taken off the air. Confederate flags were ripped down. There were liberals who said that waving a Confederate flag should be considered a hate crime and Southerners in general were attacked as racist. Then people who protested this stupidity were labeled as bigots.

Next the Left moved on to statues. Liberals demanded that the statues be taken down and began to vandalize them. Now, they are taking it further. In fact, the Left has gotten so hysterical about this subject that ESPN pulled an Asian broadcaster by the name of Robert Lee off of a University of Virginia game because there was a controversy over a Robert E. Lee statue. Now, we begin a fight over taking down the hundreds and hundreds of Confederate monuments across the country. After that, and, yes, this part has already started the battle will be over renaming buildings and streets. Liberals in Memphis literally dug up the graves of Nathan Forrest and his wife; so even removing the corpses of Confederate soldiers isn’t off the table. But that’s it, right?

Wrong.

On my new Twitter account What Liberals Say: Liberals in their own words, you’ll see that New York is discussing tearing down a statue of Columbus and even Grant’s Tomb. Meanwhile, liberals in Baltimore took a sledgehammer to a Christopher Columbus monument and even Al Sharpton came out against the Thomas Jefferson memorial.

So, you may think you’re arguing about the Confederate flag or the statue of Robert E. Lee, but liberals are also really arguing about memorials to Columbus, Grant, Jefferson, Washington, Lincoln, you name it.

Furthermore, not only are you never really arguing about what you think you’re arguing about with a liberal, liberals will paint you as evil for continuing to support something they were backing five minutes ago. How many liberals did you hear demanding gay marriage 20 years ago? Almost none. Then, the second Barack liar-nObama changed his mind about it, everyone who disagreed with gay marriage became a gay-hating homophobe. Did you notice the shocking speed with which we moved from “Liberals would never demand that women share bathrooms with men. That’s crazy….” to, “Anyone who doesn’t support men and women in the same bathroom is transphobic”?

Along similar lines, condemning whatever liberals want you to condemn to try to win favor with them is pointless. Go ahead and support their call to take down Confederate monuments. Do that and they’ll then demand that you oppose any sort of efforts to prevent voter fraud. Agree to that and they’ll insist that you admit that you’re racist by default since you’re white. Go along with that and they’ll say you have to vote for whatever tyrannical socialist they run in 2020 to be a good person. Then finally, if you say that’s a bridge too far, they’ll say, “Ha! Knew it! You’re just another one of those white supremacist Republicans!” There is no win/win to be had. There is no honest debate. There’s only a bait and switch designed to elevate liberals at everyone else’s expense.

Let me also note that I am not against apologizing when you’re wrong. I do it. It’s the right thing to do….except when you’re dealing with liberals. Never apologize to liberals. But, what if you’re 100 percent wrong? Still, don’t apologize. Why? Because liberals don’t view apologies like normal human beings. They view even the most sincere apology from a non-liberal as a club they can use to beat you. If you get in the crosshairs of some mob of social justice warriors, you’re a fool if you think that they will let you be because you were big enough to admit you were wrong. To the contrary, they will demand that you be fired, that you be scorned, that no good person could ever have anything to do with you again and they will point to your own apology as absolute proof that they’re right.

Other times, the liberal bait and switch is more insidious. Remember how it worked with liar-nObamacare?

Democrats promised liar-nObamacare would dramatically cut the cost of health care, that people could keep their doctors and plans if they liked them and everything was going to be wonderful, amazing and better in every way. Of course, none of that turned out to be true. Later, after trying to blame the failures of liar-nObamacare on Republicans, liberals admitted that they had to lie to get the bill passed and said we should all be grateful that they did. Besides, everyone knew they were lying, right? Now that the system that they promised would be the best thing ever is falling to pieces, their solution is single-payer health care, which coincidentally turns out to be what many Republicans said they were trying to do all along. According to Republicans, the idea was to design a plan that would fail so they could try to do a full government takeover. That might sound a bit conspiratorial, except as it turns out, that’s exactly what happened. Going along with a bad liberal idea almost inevitably turns out to be a set-up or justification for an even worse idea down the road.  

You want intellectual honesty from liberals? You’re not going to get it. Human decency? Fairness? Logic? A consideration of the societal or economic costs of their ideas? Do you even just want them to care whether the programs they propose work or not? You’re not getting any of those things from the vast majority of liberals. All you’re going to get is an unwavering conviction that everything liberals want to do is good because it’s liberal along with baiting and switching until they get their way.

Trump Officially Bans Transgender
Military Recruits, Taxpayer Funded “Treatments”

{rickwells.us} ~ It’s now official, cross-dressing men demanding to be treated as if they are women and women who wish they were dudes and insist that they be recognized as such will not be able to join any branches of the United States military... President Donald Trump signed a directive to that effect on Friday, banning transgender recruits from the military. In doing so he also removed the primary attraction for them joining the military in the first place, the prospect of taxpayer-funded “lopitoffofme” or “stickoneontome” surgery. Hormone and other medications to help reduce the appearance of being their birth gender appear to also be on the chopping block, as the memo broadly prohibits the Pentagon from spending resources on “gender transition treatments.”...  http://rickwells.us/trump-officially-bans-transgender-military-recruits-taxpayer-funded-treatments/

The advisory council garnered headlines this week from the media for joining other councils in having members resign after several weeks of controversy dogged the White House. Less covered and of more importance to the nation was the first report the council issued this week — which generated little attention. The report calls for the Trump administration to decisively act on a set of bold cybersecurity measures they claim must be put in place immediately in order to avoid a 9/11-class cyberattack...  https://www.lifezette.com/polizette/trump-advisory-council-warns-of-9-11-level-cyber-attack/

Removing Statues of Violent Bigots? Start with Che
by Federico N. Fernandez

{fee.org} ~ Rosario is Argentina's second oldest city. Located by the Paraná river, it is the home of hard-working people, a busy port, the national flag memorial, and the country's bitterest football rivalry between Rosario Central and Newell's Old Boys... It is also the birthplace of Ernesto “Ché” Guevara. In the last fifteen years or so, coincidentally with the rise of leftist populism in Argentina and the rest of South America, there have been plenty of tributes to the figure of “Ché.” All of these tributes are state-financed, one way or another. The most prominent is a 13-foot high statue placed in a public square. Fundación Bases has its main headquarters in Rosario. Teaming up with the Naumann Foundation, we decided to launch a campaign to remove all the state tributes to “Ché” Guevara. We knew this would generate controversy but, honestly, we didn't expect the level of reaction that has occurred...  https://fee.org/articles/removing-statues-of-violent-bigots-start-with-che/?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=theinsider&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTURFeFlUVXpZak13WkdKayIsInQiOiIyN3NEemNiRzcyRnBVaGlqYjB3MFJ6YTlSQ3ZqejVCS05qMkZyNlRzbDdsc1B2c1l0aVwveUd2amxqWno2Rkp0c2JjSXI0bXYrYW44NmpjVDJ6clJxNmliRGwyMGw0ekU2VlwvWlJKNitIc2k0NnR3UktyRWdQd096TDVTRnR3dUVRIn0%3D

President Trump Pardons Sheriff Joe Arpaio

{townhall.com} ~ "Today, President Donald J. Trump granted a Presidential pardon to Joe Arpaio, former Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona.  Arpaio’s life and career, which began at the age of 18 when he enlisted in the military after the outbreak of the Korean War, exemplify selfless public service. After serving in the Army, Arpaio became a police officer in Washington, D.C. and Las Vegas, NV and later served as a Special Agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), formerly the Bureau of Narcotics.  After 25 years of admirable service, Arpaio went on to lead the DEA’s branch in Arizona," the White House released Friday. "In 1992, the problems facing his community pulled Arpaio out of retirement to return to law enforcement. He ran and won a campaign to become Sheriff of Maricopa County. Throughout his time as Sheriff, Arpaio continued his life’s work of protecting the public from the scourges of crime and illegal immigration. Sheriff Joe Arpaio is now eighty-five years old, and after more than fifty years of admirable service to our Nation, he is worthy candidate for a Presidential pardon."

"Given Sherriff Arpaio’s extraordinary life of public service, including in the military, the President didn’t believe that subjecting a man to a conviction and potential prison term for enforcing federal immigration law was appropriate," the statement continued. "The President did not make this decision lightly. He considered all the circumstances surrounding this case, including the fact that Sherriff Arpaio is 85 years old and had served in the military, the DEA and as a sheriff for five decades."

Arpaio served as Sheriff for Arizona's Maricopa County from 1993 to 2016 and was regularly re-elected with heavily majorities until his departure last year. He is known for his tough stance on illegal immigration and infamously made inmates wear pink underwear during his tenure.

During the 2016 presidential election, Arpaio endorsed then candidate Donald Trump for his stance on illegal immigration. Before the election, Arpaio and Trump worked together in pursuit of President liar-nObama's birth certificate.

North Korea reportedly fires
'projectile' into Sea of Japan
{foxnews.com} ~ North Korea fired an "unidentified projectile" into the Sea of Japan Saturday morning, South Korea's military told local news outlets... Yonhap news agency, citing South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, reported that the projectile was fired from a site in Gangwon province in eastern North Korea. The nature of the projectile was not immediately clear, but Japan's Kyodo news service said it may be a ballistic missile. The launch was North Korea's first since the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution imposing new sanctions against the rogue nation on Aug. 5. Earlier this week, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson trumpeted the lack of "missile launches or provocative acts" since the resolution was passed...  http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/08/25/north-korea-reportedly-fires-projectile-into-sea-japan.html

{truthrevolt.org} ~ Parents of students at an independent K-12 Catholic school in San Anselmo, California, are accusing officials of trying to erase history for removing a large number of religious statues in order to be "inclusive" of other faiths... Amy Skewes-Cox, who heads San Domenico School’s board of trustees, said only about 18 of the school's 180 religious icons remained as part of a plan approved unanimously by the board last year, according to the Washington Times. “If you walk on the campus and the first thing you confront is three or four statues of St. Dominic or St. Francis, it could be alienating for that other religion, and we didn’t want to further that feeling,” she said... That's bull.   http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/california-catholic-school-removes-alienating-jesus-and-mary-statues

Sheriff Arpaio was convicted in July of criminal contempt for defying a federal court order to stop detaining individuals suspected of being in the country illegally.

President Trump has allowed the program to continue as he considers the options despite promising during the campaign to end it on day one of his presidency. DACA is a violation of federal law, a common characteristic of liar-nObama dictates. The program shields illegal aliens who were brought to the United States by their border-crashing parents from deportation and grants them permits to work and study in the United States. In essence it’s amnesty, two years at a time...  http://rickwells.us/president-trump-close-terminating-daca-illegal-alien-protection-program/

Netanyahu's empathy for Trump

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was attacked by the media for not jumping on the bandwagon and condemning US President Donald Trump for his response to the far-right and far-left rioters in Charlottesville earlier this month. It may be that he held his tongue because he saw nothing to gain from attacking a friendly president.

But it is also reasonable to assume that Netanyahu held his tongue because he empathizes with Trump. More than any leader in the world, Netanyahu understands what Trump is going through. He’s been there himself – and in many ways, is still there. Netanyahu has never enjoyed a day in office when Israel’s unelected elites weren’t at war with him.

From a comparative perspective, Netanyahu’s experiences in his first term in office, from 1996 until 1999, are most similar to Trump’s current position. His 1996 victory over incumbent prime minister Shimon Peres shocked the political class no less than the American political class was stunned by Trump’s victory. And this makes sense. The historical context of Israel’s 1996 election and the US elections last year were strikingly similar.

In 1992, Israel’s elites, the doves who controlled all aspects of the governing apparatuses, including the security services, universities, government bureaucracies, state prosecution, Supreme Court, media and entertainment industry, were seized with collective euphoria when the Labor Party under the leadership of Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres won Israel’s Left its first clear-cut political victory since 1974. Rabin and Peres proceeded to form the most dovish governing coalition in Israel’s history.

Then in 1993, after secret negotiations in Oslo, they shocked the public with the announcement that they had decided to cut a deal with Israel’s arch enemy, the PLO, a terrorist organization pledged to Israel’s destruction.

The elites, who fancied themselves the guardians of Israel’s democracy, had no problem with the fact that the most radical policy ever adopted by any government, one fraught with dangers for the nation and the state, was embarked upon with no public debate or deliberation.

To the contrary, they spent the next three years dancing around their campfire celebrating the imminent realization of their greatest dream. Israel would no longer live by its sword. It would be able to join a new, post-national world. In exchange for Jerusalem and a few other things that no one cared about, other than some fanatical religious people, Israel could join the Arab League or the European Union or both.

From 1993 through 1996, and particularly in the aftermath of Rabin’s assassination in November 1995, the media, the courts and every other aspect of Israel’s elite treated the fellow Israelis who rejected their positions as the moral and qualitative equivalent of terrorists. Like the murderers of innocents, these law-abiding Israelis were “enemies of peace.”

As for terrorism, the Oslo process ushered in not an era of peace, but an era of unprecedented violence. The first time Israelis were beset by suicide bombers in their midst was in April 1994, when the euphoria over the coming peace was at its height.

The 1996 election was the first opportunity the public had to vote on the Oslo process. Then, in spite of Rabin’s assassination and the beautiful ceremonies on the White House lawns with balloons and children holding flowers, the people of Israel said no thank you.

We are Zionists, not post-Zionists. We don’t like to get blown to smithereens on buses, and we don’t appreciate being told that victims of terrorism are victims of peace.

Trump likewise replaced the most radical president the US has ever known. Throughout Barack liar-nObama’s eight years in office, despite his failure to restore America’s economic prosperity or secure its interests abroad, liar-nObama enjoyed the sycophantic support of the media, whose leading lights worshiped him and made no bones about it.

In one memorable exchange after liar-nObama’s June 2009 speech in Cairo, where he presented the US as the moral equivalent of its enemies, Newsweek editor Evan Thomas told MSNBC host Chris Mitchell that liar-nObama was “kind of God.”

liar-nObama’s job, Thomas explained, was not merely to lead the US as his predecessor Ronald Reagan had done. liar-nObama was above “provincial nationalism.” His job was to teach morality to humanity.

In Thomas’s words, “He’s going to bring all different sides together... He’s all about ‘let us reason together’... He’s the teacher. He is going to say, ‘Now, children, stop fighting and quarreling with each other.’ And he has a kind of a moral authority that he – he can – he can do that.”

The American Left’s adoration of liar-nObama was so all-encompassing, and its control of the mainstream US media so extensive, that it never occurred to its members that the public disagreed with them. They were certain that liar-Hillary Clinton, liar-nObama’s chosen successor, would win.

In 1996, the Israeli elite greeted Netanyahu’s victory with shock and grief. The “good, enlightened” Israel they thought would rule forever had just been defeated by the unwashed mob. Peres summed up the results by telling reporters that “the Israelis” voted for him. And “the Jews” voted for Netanyahu. His followers shook their heads in mildly antisemitic disgust.

Their mourning quickly was replaced by a spasm of hatred for Netanyahu and his supporters that hasn’t disappeared even now, 21 years later.

The media’s war against Netanyahu began immediately. It was unrelenting and more often than not unhinged. So it was that two weeks after his victory, Jerusalem’s Kol Ha’ir weekly published a cover story titled, “Who are you, John Jay Sullivan?” The report alleged that Netanyahu was a CIA spy who went by the alias “John Jay Sullivan.” It took all of five minutes to take the air out of that preposterous balloon, but the media didn’t care – and it was all downhill from there.

Netanyahu, the media insisted, was a crook. He incited Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination. He may even have been the assassin. His wife, Sara, was mean to nannies. She was a bad mother. She was ill-mannered in general and probably crazy.

Any prominent politician or luminary who entered Netanyahu’s orbit was demonized and libeled. Authors who dared to have dinner with him, journalists who dared to write anything half- way supportive of him, were effectively excommunicated from their professional cliques.

His advisers and cabinet ministers found them- selves under criminal investigation over nothing, and so did Netanyahu and his wife.

Every action his government took that could in any way be interpreted as a step toward weakening the elite’s control of the country brought bombastic headlines day after day, accusing Netanyahu of seeking to undermine the rule of law.

Every disgruntled cabinet minister, every slighted aide who publicly criticized Netanyahu, was given instant celebrity and star-for-a-news-cycle status.

The dovish commanders of the IDF and the Shin Bet were openly disloyal to Netanyahu in every - thing relating to the peace process with the PLO. Every attempt Netanyahu made to abandon his predecessors’ blind and misplaced faith in PLO chief Yasser Arafat was immediately leaked to the media. “Security sources” blamed Netanyahu for terrorist attacks.

When the Mossad bungled the assassination of Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal in Amman, it was Netanyahu’s fault. When Arafat used Netanyahu’s authorization of the opening of a new entrance to the Western Wall tunnels to unleash a terrorist offensive against Israel that left 15 Israelis dead in a week, then-Shin Bet director Ami Ayalon blamed Netanyahu at a live press conference.

The purpose of the leaks and the misdirection was to box Netanyahu in with no option other than to continue his predecessors’ failed policy of appeasing and empowering Palestinian terrorists.

Just as the notion that Netanyahu – the man who rejected their post-Zionist euphoria and insisted that there would be no new Middle East – had beaten their savior Peres blew the Israeli elites’ minds to bits, so the US elite has still refused to come to terms with the fact that Donald Trump, the man they view as nothing more than a nouveau riche vulgarian, beat the anointed successor of their idol liar-nObama.

So they hate him and cannot stop demonizing him. Whether it’s liar-nObama’s director of national intelligence James Clapper, who insisted that the Muslim Brotherhood is a “largely secular organization,” saying that Trump is insane, or Bob Costa from CNN calling him a white supremacist and antisemite, there is no lunatic depth the American Left will not plumb to attack, demonize and dehumanize Trump and his supporters.

So how is a leader to respond to this sort of onslaught? Netanyahu for his part gave up fighting at some point in his first term. Faced with the implacable animosity of an empowered elite that boxed him in at every turn, Netanyahu decided to try to give them what they wanted in the hope of surviving in office.

He made a deal with Arafat and liar-Bill Clinton at Wye Plantation. He handed Hebron over to PLO control. He surrendered government control over selection of the attorney-general to a committee controlled by the elites and so sank Israeli democracy into the hole it is still in.

Since 1997, unelected lawyers unaccountable to elected officials have the power to dismantle democratically elected governments, essentially at will.

Netanyahu got nothing for his efforts. The media, prosecution, state bureaucracy and security services continued to wage political war against him until, with the help of the liar-Clinton administration, they overthrew his government in 1999 and brought Ehud Barak to power. liar-nBarak presided over a government so radical that the Rabin-Peres government looked hawkish in comparison.

Before Israel could move past its elites, the fruits of their radical policies first had to be ingested. In the event, the fruits of those policies were 1,500 Israelis killed in the Palestinian terrorist war and the emergence of strategic threats and repeated wars from post-withdrawal Gaza and Lebanon.

Today it is clear that Trump is wrestling with how to proceed in governing, as the American elites openly seek his political and even personal destruction. One day he tacks to the establishment in the hopes of appeasing those who hate him, and the next day he embraces his supporters and repeats his campaign pledges to “drain the swamp.”

The lessons of Netanyahu’s first term – and to a degree, his subsequent terms in office as well – are clear enough and Trump would do well to apply them.

You cannot appease people who want to destroy you. And you cannot succeed by embracing the failed policies of your predecessors that you were elected to roll back. The elites who reject you will never embrace you. The only way to govern successfully when you are under relentless assault is to empower your supporters and keep faith with them.

Rice explained that our history is in the past and therefore cannot be changed, but we can change the future by looking at the past.

by David Limbaugh
{townhall.com} ~ Do you equal-opportunity Trump haters ever listen to yourselves? You sometimes remind me of the people in those movies who live the same day over and over.

You must wake up every day -- wholly oblivious to your behavior the day before -- gleefully imagining how you could dismantle Trump with a single tweet, a doleful column or a brief television critique. Even if your criticisms sound new to you, most of us were here yesterday -- and during the days, weeks and months leading up to yesterday. What you are offering is not profound.

Sometimes the absurdity reaches comical proportions. You figuratively subject Trump to rapid machine-gun fire every day and then lay your weapons down, walk over to the camera and castigate Trump for bleeding.

Yes, some of Trump's abrasions are self-inflicted, but anyone under ceaseless fire like him would be hard-pressed not to overreact from time to time.

The news media -- almost all on the left and too many on the right -- make every news cycle about Trump. It's not about North Korea's nuclear weapons, Afghanistan, immigration, health care or radical Islam. It's about Trump. Every story is centered on him.

And don't tell me this is only because Trump makes everything about himself. Oh, yes, he personalizes things, but we're not talking about him; we're talking about you. You make it about him -- and about yourselves and your moral superiority for condemning him as a Neanderthal every five minutes.

We get it. Republican Trump supporters disgrace themselves. After all, according to many of you, Trump would have no support among conservative commentators and media figures if they listened to their consciences. No, they've all sold out.

Apparently, I can't be a constitutional conservative and support Trump, so I must be doing it for ratings on a show I don't have or Twitter likes, though I've yet to figure out how to monetize my betrayal.

But enough about me. How about people who do have shows and make their living through commentary? Well, I know a lot of them personally, and I don't know any who support Trump because they think it will enhance their ratings. It's not that they don't try to get ratings. But they don't support Trump as a means to that end.

Go ahead and laugh. But your automatic assumption that such conservative support for Trump must be political prostitution possibly reflects a hint of narrow arrogance. Trump is so manifestly egregious there could be no logical reason a bona fide conservative could support him. Right?

Let me respectfully suggest that Trump hasn't changed in office. He is the same person we saw on the campaign trail and the same person the American people elected as their 45th president. He was every bit as brash, unfiltered and unorthodox as he is now, so the next time you rush to your computer or microphone to declare his instability or unfitness for office, remember that the American people knowingly elected him as just that guy. Therefore, when you are impugning him, you might as well be and often are impugning them.

Now let me further shock you. They didn't elect Trump because they thought he was some panacea or some perfect cult hero. Yes, there are some Trump supporters who appear to be cultlike in their support, but I dare say that even most of them view Trump less as someone who is perfect and more as one who is in the foxhole with them trying to fight the forces determined to dismantle America as founded, piece by piece.

I acknowledge Trump's uniqueness and that he may have been the only one who could have satisfied the grass roots in 2016. But I think the Trump movement transcends Trump. It preceded him but coalesced in him and will survive him. You won't eradicate the Trump movement by removing Trump -- assuming that's your endgame.

You complain that Trump's peculiar mix of policy hodgepodge under the Republican banner is destroying the conservative and Republican brands. I used to be more sympathetic to that argument. But the problem is that Republicans have not been able and often haven't seemed willing to fight back against this leftist juggernaut that represents an existential threat to all we hold sacred. So many of them would haughtily scoff at the mere suggestion that we face existential threats in that context.

Conceding that Trump is no conservative ideologue by any stretch and still clinging to my self-identification as a Reagan and Ted Cruz conservative, I think we have a far better chance of thwarting the leftist agenda and recapturing lost territory under someone like Trump -- as opposed to some well-mannered, leftist-appeasing centrist -- who is willing and determined to fight.

You can be sure that the calculating left will be just as militant no matter who is in power. In fact, if members of some sordid bipartisan coalition are able to claim Trump's political scalp based on the stuff they're now throwing against the wall against him, there's no telling how emboldened the left will become. If you can live with that, it might be time for you to quit moralizing to us.

You might be deluding yourself if you think Trump will implode. You can read the polls and think he's finished or conclude that the latest tweetstorm is the final nail. But you will be wrong.

Some of you should quit worrying so much about conflating ideologies. The rise of so-called populist nationalism would have far less traction if the right showed much greater solidarity in standing up for the American idea, which is not about ethnicity, race, gender or diversity but about liberty, equal opportunity, a strong and unashamed America, and the rule of law. Advocating all these noble principles in theory alone will no longer be sufficient. We must get in the fight.

I love pure constitutional conservatism, perhaps as much as anyone, but way too many people who don't love it are pretending they do and using Trump as a scapegoat to cover for their failure to fight for the principles and policies they profess to champion.

I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't legitimately criticize Trump when he deserves it or that you abandon your principles. But please take your blinders off and get off your high horse.

If those of you who can't quit salivating over your next Trump dump would spend just a fourth of that time registering outrage over the stuff regularly spewing from the left -- including the mainstream media -- maybe you would do your part in helping to close the void that was filled by Donald Trump. Until our side recognizes the gravity of our situation and unifies to fight against the left with the same commitment the left brings to this fight, you can be sure that at least a strong plurality of the political right will continue to rally around unorthodox figures who at least have the brass to fight back.

{rickwells.us} ~ Gary Gileno of Grindall61 reports that he was just handcuffed and given a $280 fine and a notice to appear for attempting to video tape in a federal building in Pasadena in the Peoples’ Republic of California... He’s been to the building before and videotaped in there a year ago. Authoritarianism travels fast when Democrats are in charge and these days videotaping will get you treated like they used to treat illegal aliens in this country, handcuffed and hauled away. Gileno explains that the reason they were at this location today was to attend the monthly LA County Sheriff’s oversight civilian committee meeting. That meeting is normally held at a different location, but on this day it’s being held inside this federal fortress where the Praetorian Guards claim a court order is required to exercise the First Amendment privileges contained in the Bill of Privileges, formerly known as rights...  http://rickwells.us/conservative-arrested-using-camera-leftist-reporter-allowed-record/

{conservativetribune.com} ~ A United Nations Committee responsible for combating racism globally issued an “early warning” for the United States, citing a growth in “alarming racism” trends... Anastasia Crickley, chairwoman of U.N. Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD), issued a statement Tuesday in response to the violence that erupted in Charlottesville, Virginia, Aug. 12 during a white nationalist rally. “We are alarmed by the racist demonstrations, with overtly racist slogans, chants and salutes by white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and the Ku Klux Klan, promoting white supremacy and inciting racial discrimination and hatred,” Crickley said. For an organization as corrupt as the United Nations to start attacking the United States, which has done more to root out racism than virtually any country on earth, is beyond an insult...Kick them out.  http://conservativetribune.com/un-issues-measures-to-us/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=patriottribune&utm_campaign=dailyam&utm_content=libertyalliance

Anti-Semitism in Europe: New Official Report

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ To some of us, it is hardly a secret that anti-Semitic violence is on the rise in Europe, or that the chief perpetrators are Muslims... But many politicians and news media have been so indefatigable in their efforts to obscure this uncomfortable fact that one is always grateful for official -- or, at least, semi-official -- confirmation of what everyone already knows.  It is a pleasure, then, to report that a new study, Antisemitic Violence in Europe, 2005-2015 -- written by Johannes Due Enstad of the Oslo-based Center for Studies of the Holocaust and the University of Oslo, and jointly published by both institutions -- is refreshingly, even startlingly, honest about its subject. Enstad notes that while anti-Semitic violence has declined in the U.S. since 1994, it has been on the rise worldwide. That, of course, includes Europe -- most of it, anyway...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10896/antisemitism-europe#continued

{frontpagemag.com} ~ Things are unfolding rapidly in Syria as relentless offensives, undertaken by the joint might of Iran, Russia and Hezbollah against a plethora of rival Sunni militias, have taken their toll on the rebels... Analysts are fearful that the pending fall of Islamic State, which seems likely, will create a vacuum that the Islamic Republic will rush to fill. This coupled with the recent revelation that the United States terminated a covert military aid program to rebels seeking to topple Assad, virtually ensures that Iran will remain a dominant power in Syria. A troubling consequence of this development is that Iran will have essentially succeeded in creating a land bridge of sorts that travels through Iraq and Syria to Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea, a prospect that is inimical to both U.S and Israeli interests... http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/267691/iran-makes-mockery-nuclear-deal-ari-Lieberman

What Still Unites Us?

{townhall.com} ~ Decades ago, a debate over what kind of nation America is roiled the conservative movement.

Neocons claimed America was an "ideological nation" a "creedal nation," dedicated to the proposition that "all men are created equal."

Expropriating the biblical mandate, "Go forth and teach all nations!" they divinized democracy and made the conversion of mankind to the democratic faith their mission here on earth.

With his global crusade for democracy, George W. Bush bought into all this. Result: Ashes in our mouths and a series of foreign policy disasters, beginning with Afghanistan and Iraq.

Behind the Trumpian slogan "America First" lay a conviction that, with the Cold War over and the real ideological nation, the USSR, shattered into pieces along ethnic lines, it was time for America to come home.

Contra the neocons, traditionalists argued that, while America was uniquely great, the nation was united by faith, culture, language, history, heroes, holidays, mores, manners, customs and traditions. A common feature of Americans, black and white, was pride in belonging to a people that had achieved so much.

The insight attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville -- "America is great because she is good, and if America ceases to be good, she will cease to be great" -- was a belief shared by almost all.

What makes our future appear problematic is that what once united us now divides us. While Presidents Wilson and Truman declared us to be a "Christian nation," Christianity has been purged from our public life and sheds believers every decade. Atheism and agnosticism are growing rapidly, especially among the young.

Traditional morality, grounded in Christianity, is being discarded. Half of all marriages end in divorce. Four-in-10 children are born out of wedlock. Unrestricted abortion and same-sex marriage -- once regarded as marks of decadence and decline -- are now seen as human rights and the hallmarks of social progress.

Tens of millions of us do not speak English. Where most of our music used to be classic, popular, country and western, and jazz, much of it now contains rutting lyrics that used to be unprintable.

Where we used to have three national networks, we have three 24-hour cable news channels and a thousand websites that reinforce our clashing beliefs on morality, culture, politics and race.

Consider but a few events post-Charlottesville.

"Murderer" was painted on the San Fernando statue of Fr. Junipero Serra, the Franciscan who founded the missions that became San Diego, San Francisco, San Juan Capistrano and Santa Clara.

America's oldest monument honoring Columbus, in Baltimore, was vandalized. Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia called for Robert E. Lee's statue to be removed from Capitol and replaced by -- Pocahontas.

According to legend, this daughter of Chief Powhatan saved Captain John Smith from being beheaded by throwing herself across his neck. The Chief was a "person of interest" in the disappearance of the "Lost Colony" of Roanoke Island, among whose missing was Virginia Dare, the first European baby born in British America.

Why did Kaine not call for John Smith himself, leader of the Jamestown Colony that fought off Indian attacks, to be so honored?

In New Orleans, "Tear It Down" was spray-painted on a statue of Joan of Arc, a gift from France in 1972. Besides being a canonized saint in the Catholic Church and a legendary heroine of France, what did the Maid of Orleans do to deserve this?

Taken together, we are seeing the discoverers, explorers and missionaries of North America demonized as genocidal racists all. The Founding Fathers are either slave owners or sanctioners of slavery.

Our nation-builders either collaborated in or condoned the ethnic cleansing of Native Americans. Almost to the present, ours was a land where segregationists were honored leaders.

Bottom line for the left: Americans should be sickened and ashamed of the history that made us the world's greatest nation. And we should acknowledge our ancestors' guilt by tearing down any and all monuments and statues that memorialize them.

This rising segment of America, full of self-righteous rage, is determined to blacken the memory of those who have gone before us.

To another slice of America, much of the celebrated social and moral "progress" of recent decades induces a sense of nausea, summarized in the lament, "This isn't the country we grew up in."

liar-Hillary Clinton famously described this segment of America as a "basket of deplorables ... racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic ... bigots," and altogether "irredeemable."

So, what still unites us? What holds us together into the indefinite future? What makes us one nation and one people? What do we offer mankind, as nations seem to recoil from what we are becoming, and are instead eager to build their futures on the basis of ethnonationalism and fundamentalist faith?

If advanced democracy has produced the disintegration of a nation that we see around us, what is the compelling case for it?

{rickwells.us} ~ Senate sleazebag Chuck clown-Schumer (D-NY) has declared restricting voting to only Americans as an exercise in racism... Everything that protects America from conquest, such as immigration laws, vetting of refugees and voter IDs is racist to corrupt clown-Chuck. Obviously feeling a threat to the Democrats’ system of voter fraud that is the foundation of every election they win, the Senate Minority Leader Chuck clown-Schumer declared that Democrats will attempt to use a “must-pass” bill to dissolve President Donald Trump’s voter fraud commission if he doesn’t end it ‘voluntarily.” Why are you so opposed to only citizens voting or exposing fraudulent voter rolls, clown-Chuck? Afraid the American people are going to find out what you’ve been up to, the real reason you wanted illegal aliens to have driver’s licenses? States have gone out of their way to offer free IDs to residents to avoid any perception of discrimination and made them exceedingly easy to get. That’s not good enough...clown must read the constitution to understand being a legal citizens.  http://rickwells.us/schumer-chides-president-trump-racist-allow-citizens-vote/

{dailycaller.com} ~ CNN has made no attempt to retract or modify a Wednesday report that calls all supporters of President Donald Trump “white supremacists by default.”... The report stakes its weighty claims about the moral character of Trump supporters on the word of “activists, historians and victims of extremism,” who argue that “ordinary people” have empowered white supremacists. “It’s easy to focus on the angry white men in paramilitary gear who looked like they were mobilizing for a race war in the Virginia college town,” the report reads. “But it’s the ordinary people — the voters who elected a reality TV star with a record of making racially insensitive comments, the people who move out of the neighborhood when people of color move in, the family members who ignore a relative’s anti-Semitism — who give these type of men room to operate.”...  http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/24/cnn-has-no-defense-for-labeling-63-million-americans-white-supremacists-by-default/?utm_medium=email

Afghanistan: A Bottomless Pit?

{townhall.com} ~ President Trump is not the first U.S. leader to pivot when it comes to foreign policy. His speech Monday night before American military personnel at Fort Myer in Arlington, Virginia, was in stark contrast to his campaign pledge to put "America first" and his promise to avoid "foreign entanglements," as George Washington put it in his Farewell Address.

The president admitted that reality caught up with him after his inauguration and that America must ensure that al-Qaida does not again gain a foothold in the country from which it could plot another massive terror attack on the U.S.

A Trump administration official said the Pentagon will send an estimated 4,000 additional American forces to Afghanistan, a plan reminiscent of the Iraq "surge" ordered by President George W. Bush and successfully led by Gen. David Petraeus. What is different about this latest tactic is the threat of financial consequences if Pakistan doesn't stop harboring terrorists and do more to help win the war.

The question remains: What does "winning" look like? President Trump promised not to engage in "nation building," but what is its alternative? After 16 years in Afghanistan, the cost of war has risen to an estimated $700 billion. More than 2,000 American lives have been lost and thousands more wounded. We have hardly established a foundation for a stable nation, much less built anything on it.

Departing from President liar-nObama's announcements of timetables for withdrawal, Trump said "Conditions on the ground -- not arbitrary timetables -- will guide our strategy from now on," adding, "Another fundamental pillar of our new strategy is the integration of all instruments of American power -- diplomatic, economic, and military -- toward a successful outcome."

I'm all for successful outcomes, but what does he have in mind? How will success be determined? How does one stabilize an unstable country mired down by rival tribes and religious conflict?

In his speech there was an implied threat to India if that country doesn't help with the war effort: "India makes billions of dollars in trade with the United States, and we want them to help us more with Afghanistan, especially in the area of economic assistance and development. We are committed to pursuing our shared objectives for peace and security in South Asia and the broader Indo-Pacific region."

The president noted he has already "lifted restrictions the previous administration placed on our war fighters that prevented the secretary of defense and our commanders in the field from fully and swiftly waging battle against the enemy. Micromanagement from Washington, D.C., does not win battles. They are won in the field drawing upon the judgment and expertise of wartime commanders and frontline soldiers acting in real time, with real authority, and with a clear mission to defeat the enemy."

The "rules of engagement" have contributed to American casualty figures. The enemy plays by no rules. Will the lifting of U.S. rules kill more of the enemy, or kill more civilians behind whom enemy forces often hide?

The president also issued a warning to the Afghan government: "America will work with the Afghan government as long as we see determination and progress. However, our commitment is not unlimited, and our support is not a blank check. The government of Afghanistan must carry their share of the military, political, and economic burden. The American people expect to see real reforms, real progress, and real results. Our patience is not unlimited. We will keep our eyes wide open."

If they don't comply, will we pull out anyway? That's what al-Qaida is banking on.

There is much that is right about the president's announced new strategy and objectives, but the question remains: Can this war be won and the country stabilized, or will Afghanistan always be a bottomless pit?

It shouldn't be long before we have an answer.

We’ve all seen the story and the controversies surrounding it repeated on both mainstream and alternative media for day. It’s been several days and we can now step back and appreciate the lessons learned in this event, which upon closer inspection reveals shocking truths that everyone in America needs to recognize as soon as possible because the future of our nation depends on this. To understand the importance and significance of this event look no further than the players themselves. By that I mean not just the villains that the mainstream media and Hollywood celebrities unanimously parroted to no end to remind you of – that being the White Supremacists, “Nazis” and KKK members who decided to jump into the ‘Unite the Right’ protest event scheduled that day- but also the villains on the other side of the fight who got a complete pass from the media and Hollywood as if they did no wrong- that being “Antifa”, the supposedly “anti fascist” good guys who (contrary to video evidence) the mainstream media and their Hollywood talking heads would have you believe are a peaceful pro-America group that means well.

{rickwells.us} ~ Just as the leftists tell us it’s not child abuse to dress a child up in the clothing of the opposite gender and allow, deceive or force them into pretending they’re something they’re not... similarly it’s just fine and necessary, in their perverted minds, to indoctrinate other, normal children into an acceptance of their deviance. It’s also not necessary to get approval from the parents beforehand. A teacher at Rocklin Academy, a California charter school, claims she’s innocent and never expected a backlash for her introducing the students to transgenderism as the class curriculum. Clearly she lacks the judgment required of her position and shouldn’t be teaching on a charter bus full of casino-bound retirees, let alone to a classroom of impressionable young children...  http://rickwells.us/parents-furious-kindergarten-kids-read-transgender-propaganda-books-during-class/

by Judge Andrew Napolitano
{townhall.com} ~ On the heels of his worst week in office, during which his crude comments about race were widely perceived as defending racism and hatred -- comments that sent some of his natural domestic allies fleeing -- President Donald Trump could not bring himself to articulate a mea culpa.

Instead, he purported to defend as "some very fine people" the monsters who shouted "Jews will not replace us" and "blood and soil" a virulent Nazi slogan calling for lands where only Aryans may live as they clashed with those who rejected their messages in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Police failure and general government indifference about the freedom of speech permitted one of the racists to kill one of those who had come to reject the hate.

After the deceased was identified, one of the neo-Nazis there said she deserved to die because she was "fat." It is difficult for me to accept that I am writing about neo-Nazis calling for racial purity and rejoicing in the death of an innocent -- in America in 2017. But here we are. They are among us, and these subjects must be addressed.

At first, the president made a rambling statement about bad people on "both sides"; then he read a nicely worded attack on racists; and then he held a disastrous impromptu news conference in which he was so morally ambivalent that he seemed to reject his duty as president.

Rejecting, as well, the pleas of those around him to renounce his own failure to renounce his moral ambivalence -- which won him a public accolade from the most notorious Ku Klux Klan fanatic in the country -- Trump decided to change the subject.

Like former President liar-Bill Clinton after his disastrous public appearance before a federal grand jury that was investigating him, Trump decided to fight a war. But the war he announced we will "fight to win" earlier this week is the longest, most misguided, costliest and least understood war in our history, and we are fighting for people who hate us.

If these phrases and ideas sound familiar, they should. They are not my words -- though I agree with them -- but those of candidate Trump. He articulated them forcefully to the American electorate during last year's presidential election campaign. He actually began attacking the war in Afghanistan long before he announced his presidential candidacy.

If he has been consistent on any public issue, it has been his opposition to this useless, lawless, costly war -- until he needed to change the subject.

Why war? Because nothing strengthens the presidency and its occupant or commands the attention of the public or weakens domestic political opposition as effectively as war.

No rational person will argue publicly that our troops should die or lose or lack the resources to fight even an unjust war, and often even political opponents will jump on a wartime president's patriotic bandwagon. We will witness that scene again soon.

With the last anti-war holdout in his inner circle -- Steve Bannon -- gone, Trump embraced the present and former generals with whom he has surrounded himself and surrendered to their arguments.

I wish he had been faithful to his promise to the electorate to bring the troops home. Instead, he will send an unannounced number of service members and accompanying equipment to Afghanistan -- not to rebuild the bridges and roads the U.S. destroyed there but to fight, to kill and to "win."

What are we doing there?

The British tried to tame this unruly barren wasteland, which has never had a modern-day central government, back in the 19th century, and the Russians tried to do the same in the 20th century. They both lost a generation of soldiers and a fortune.

What are we doing there?

On Sept. 11, 2001, the United States was attacked by 19 religious fanatics, most of whom were from Saudi Arabia. These monsters were funded by Saudi wealth.

But President George W. Bush needed some country to attack in the aftermath, so he convinced Congress that since we couldn't attack the dead people who attacked us or our "friends" -- the Saudis -- who financed them, we should attack their ideological comrades residing in a safe haven called Afghanistan. Instead of attacking the 9/11 attackers' sources, we attacked their friends.

What are we doing there?

During the Republican presidential primary debates, Trump himself savaged former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush so aggressively over his efforts to defend his brother's decision to invade Afghanistan that the younger Bush quit the race; and Republicans voted for Trump in droves.

What are we doing there?

We have already spent more than 1 trillion borrowed dollars there, sent more than 100,000 troops there, killed countless innocents there, destroyed towns, cities and ancient artifacts there, lost billions in cash and equipment there; and whomever we have been fighting there for 16 years still controls more than 40 percent of the country.

What are we doing there? How will we know if we have won there? When will we come home for good from there?

The answers to these questions are deadly but easy -- when the subject has been changed here.

How stupid do you have to be to stand in traffic and “protest,” also known as making an ass or a public nuisance, and creating a hazard for both yourself and the general public? Particularly after the much publicized death of a woman similarly obstructing traffic for political purposes in Charlottesville – can’t you take a hint?

Gohmert Calls for Investigation of VA Gov
McAuliffe for ‘Facilitating’ Charlottesville Violence
by Pam Key
{breitbart.com} ~ Sunday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends Weekend,” Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) called for a Department of Justice investigation... of Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D-VA) and Charlottesville, VA Mayor Michael Signer for possibly facilitating the violence that took place in Charlottesville earlier this month. Gohmert said, “The way forward’s not gonna be easy. And I think the Justice Department needs a full investigation of the governor, of the mayor. They said in court there would be violence at Charlottesville, and then the witnesses and the photographs show they herded these groups to create violence so they could brag. We need a Justice Department investigation into Kessler. You don’t just go all of a sudden from having multiracial roommates and a Jewish girlfriend to all of a sudden being a white supremacist that wants to join the Republican party. There’s something very, very wrong in all of this.”  http://www.breitbart.com/video/2017/08/21/gohmert-calls-for-investigation-of-va-gov-mcauliffe-for-facilitating-charlottesville-violence/

The president squarely assigned blame to all parties who were responsible for the events, but obviously, it was staunch racists who organized the demonstration that were the original cause. The White House named and shamed the organizations responsible, including the KKK, neo-Nazis and hardcore white supremacists. When President Trump blamed “both sides,” politicians on the Left and the Right as well as media pundits were quick to jump in and say that his words meant that one side was being morally favored over another, which is absolute nonsense...  http://patrioticviralnews.com/articles/rnc-chair-we-dont-want-the-white-supremacist-vote-we-will-speak-out/

US pushing to quash UN 'blacklist'
of firms doing business in Israeli settlements

by Anne Gearan
{jewishworldreview.com} ~ The Trump administration is urging the United Nations not to publish what it calls a "blacklist" of international firms that do business in Israeli settlements on land claimed by the Palestinians for a future state, diplomats and others said.

The U.N. Commission on Human Rights voted to approve the database of companies last year, over objections from the United States and Israel, which describe the list as a prelude to anti-Israel boycotts.

American companies on the list drawn up by the Geneva-based commission include Caterpillar, TripAdvisor, Priceline.com, Airbnb and others, according to people familiar with it. It is not clear whether the list has been finalized.

Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, has told U.S. officials he plans to publish the list by the end of the year and has asked for comments by Sept. 1 from countries where affected firms are headquartered, diplomats said.

U.S. officials would not comment on which firms were included on a version of the list recently transmitted to U.S. diplomats. Details of U.S. involvement and the inclusion of specific American firms has not previously been reported.

Zeid, a Jordanian diplomat who was his country's ambassador to the United States, had agreed to one postponement this year, partly in response to a U.S. request. He has indicated he plans to move ahead now, arguing that the list is a resource for consumers and travelers, according to diplomats from several affected countries who requested anonymity to describe behind-the-scenes jockeying over the issue.

"The United States has been adamantly opposed to this resolution from the start" and has fought against it before several U.N. bodies, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said. "These types of resolutions are counterproductive and do nothing to advance Israeli-Palestinian issues."

The United States joined Israel in unsuccessfully opposing U.N. funding for work related to the database, Nauert said.

"We have made clear our opposition regarding the creation of a database of businesses operating in Israeli settlements in the occupied territories, and we have not participated and will not participate in its creation or contribute to its content," she said.

Anne Herzberg, a lawyer and activist against BDS activities with the Jerusalem-based group NGO Monitor, said the list is "punitive."

"It's a process that is really extraordinary," Herzberg said. "There is no due process, they are not contacting companies ahead of time, and they have no basis to evaluate what they are sent about companies."

Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, called the database "shameful" in remarks delivered in Geneva in June. She also said the United States is considering whether to remain a member of the commission, which she said was biased against Israel and too forgiving of autocrats and dictators.

"Blacklisting companies without even looking at their employment practices or their contributions to local empowerment, but rather based entirely on their location in areas of conflict, is contrary to the laws of international trade and to any reasonable definition of human rights," Haley said. "It is an attempt to provide an international stamp of approval to the anti-Semitic BDS movement. It must be rejected."

A senior U.S. official involved in the diplomacy said Washington has argued that the list need not be made public and that the commission's resolution does not compel Zeid to follow up with spot checks or other actions after the list is complete.

The United States has argued that the criteria for including individual companies on the list is vague and arbitrary and that the definition of settlement activity can be unfairly stretched to include broad categories of commercial activity in the occupied territories.

"We are looking for the high commissioner's office to implement this in the most narrow way possible, if he has made a decision to implement it at all," said the senior U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

It is not clear how individual U.S. companies are being placed on the list. Affected firms appeared unaware of the list when contacted, or did not respond to a request for comment.

In the case of travel-related firms such as TripAdvisor, it is also unclear whether their inclusion is the result of corporate activity inside settlements, such as advertising, or from inclusion of travel data about settlements on their websites.

"TripAdvisor can't comment on a report it hasn't seen," said company spokesman Brian Hoyt. "We have not been contacted by the U.N. We continue to believe in the power of travel to bring cultures together around the world and are happy to discuss our position with the U.N. at any time."

In ordering that a list be created, the commission invoked the 50-year Israeli occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem and the "implications of the Israeli settlements on the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of the Palestinian people."

It tasked Zeid's office with producing "a database of all business enterprises involved" in settlement activity. The list is to be updated annually.

In June, Zeid told the commission that the Israeli occupation that began in 1967 violates international law and "has denied the Palestinians many of their most fundamental freedoms, and has often been brutal."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said the list would help the Palestinian "boycott, divestment and sanctions," or BDS, campaign, which he says unfairly singles out Israel for economic punishment.

U.S. diplomats have argued that the Commission on Human Rights went beyond its mandate in ordering the list.

The commission has no power to levy sanctions or otherwise punish companies, but opponents of the list say it could put pressure on the U.N. Security Council to follow up.

The idea behind the list arose from efforts to target international businesses that did business with apartheid-era South Africa, and from Arab-led efforts to boycott Israel decades ago.

Rep King – Border WALL Will

{rickwells.us} ~ Congressman Steve King (R-IA) made an appearance on the Tucker Carlson program following President Trump’s speech in Phoenix... with the topic one he addressed in that speech, the construction of America’s southern border wall. President Trump declared his willingness to stand firm in the face of a threatened government shutdown by Democrats if the funding is not provided. King agrees that is the right approach and supports the President in his effort. Carlson notes that “almost nobody” in the DC Swamp supports a border wall although the country does. That’s probably due in large part to the fact that they are not patriots, they don’t have to live with the negative effects and many if not most are paid off by the big money beneficiaries of illegal immigration. He asks, “How are you going to get it done when so few here support it?”...  http://rickwells.us/rep-king-border-wall-happen-shutdown-trump-stand-strong/

{conservativetribune.com} ~ Hollywood actor and iconic liberal George Clooney and his wife, Amal Clooney, have decided to support the Southern Poverty Law Center to help combat “hate groups” with a donation of $1 million dollars. There’s only one problem… what constitutes a “hate group” for the SPLC is extremely skewed, and the donation ignores the fact that the SPLC itself has been linked to domestic terrorist activities. According to CNN, the couple made their donation to the SPLC through their organization, The Clooney Foundation for Justice. The donation comes amid the massive media coverage focused on the aftermath of the Charlottesville, Virginia, confrontation between white supremacists and so-called “antifa” and Black Lives Matter protesters that ended in the death of one young woman...Did he get suckered or did he. http://conservativetribune.com/lib-icon-clooney-supporting-terror/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=dailypm&utm_content=conservative-tribune

{dailysignal.com} ~ In an interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, The Heritage Foundation’s Luke Coffey explains why President Donald Trump made the right call on Afghanistan... “The goal in Afghanistan is to get that country to a point where its able to manage its internal security by itself without tens of thousands of Western troops on the ground.

{dailysignal.com} ~ Two hundred and sixty-nine billion dollars. That’s a big number, and yet it’s not the amount the federal government spends on any of its major activities like defense, Medicaid, Medicare, or Social Security... Rather, this is what the Congressional Budget Office currently projects the federal government will spend on interest payments on the debt for fiscal year 2017. This makes interest the fifth-largest federal budget item behind Social Security, defense, Medicare, and Medicaid. Nothing to worry about, right? Only if you’re fine with spending a growing percentage of the federal budget on something that provides no service to the American people, other than paying for past bills...  http://dailysignal.com/2017/08/18/debt-problem-really-spending-problem-economic-growth-wont-fix/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWVdNMU1UbGhNRFJrT0RVMiIsInQiOiJPdkRhSEg2RnVjWjBRYUJoNGtkVUpORjBwNzJBekJxZ2cySjU1N1BkejZSVWhRR3hscFlheWFUb1Brbm9HOTg3a0pnV1pXUTRSZXlOYVc3WDQ4c2RQTW9KTXdSd200V0RjWXlvUUZOWjQrVjBNWkdTSnY3ajh1Rm5Xak82WXpDSSJ9

Antifa - Just Who Are They?
by Leon Puissegur
{freedomoutpost.com} ~ We see the headlines all over the news about the “Alt-Right,” but few show the more violent “Alt-Left” that has destroyed property and attacked police.
 
Let’s be very clear, both sides are not in favor of a Free United States.
 
In this article, we will expose the Antifa group first since few, if any, seem willing to investigate their background or why they act like they do. I also have to bring back another article I wrote which seems to connect this group with the ideology of our former President, Barack Hussein liar-nObama. That article seems to show where Antifa may have come from.
 
Yes, liar-nObama had set up what is now going on in Charlottesville, and everywhere they remove monuments that, in all cases, were not bothering anyone until the “Alt-Left” found out the Russian story was going to fail.
 
But it does not end there. These groups, from both sides, are out to destroy our nation. Antifa is based upon a Communist theory and, in most cases, based upon a pure Nazi attitude. How can we make this statement? Let me show you.
 
First, from Discover The Networks:
 
“Unveiling “Antifa”
 
In each of the aforementioned demonstrations and riots, the major perpetrators of violence were members of a movement calling itself “Antifa” – a shortened form of the term “Antifacist.” According to organizers from the “anti-fascist research and news” website of a New York-based Antifa chapter: “Antifa combines radical left-wing and anarchist politics, revulsion at racists, sexists, homophobes, anti-Semites, and Islamophobes, with the international anti-fascist culture of taking the streets and physically confronting the brownshirts of white supremacy, whoever they may be.”
 
At its heart, the Antifa movement is in fact a communist phenomenon whose adherents – consisting predominantly of upper-middle-class white males – believe that conservatives, particularly those who supported Donald Trump in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, are the moral equivalent of Nazis and are therefore not entitled to the free-speech protections guaranteed by the First Amendment. Moreover, as the New York Antifa group indicated, the movement has a strong element of anarchism as well; thus its members are commonly seen waving the red and black flag of anarcho-communism.
 
Today, Antifa has active cells in a number of nations across the globe, most notably the U.S., Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, France, and the Czech Republic.”
 
Anitfa is a group of “Anarchists” that do not care about anything else but destroying a legally elected official and tearing down monuments that have not hurt anyone for over 100 years; and all of a sudden, because of a chosen few, those statues have become the hate of many even though many of them have no idea of the truth about the monuments.
 
The Washington Post reported:
 
“Henry Hughes, 61, dressed in jeans, a flannel shirt and a North Cascades National Park hat, held a jug to collect money for those arrested. A copy editor for a transcription company who lives in Marblemount, Wash., he said that although he was blocking entrances Friday and was nowhere near the torched limousine, he didn’t object to the destruction.
 
“Property damage is not violence,” he said. “Violence against other people is violence.”
 
This shows the attitude of this individual and reflects the entire ideology of the Antifa movement.
 
Just how long will the honest, free people of the United States remain silent and these thugs do this?
 
They will fight until all our history except for their single-sided revised history is allowed.
 
Just take a look around the nation.  We can see this group asking for the removal of all monuments of former slave holders, and if they succeed with that, it will become all white people because they are being taught that white people are evil.
 
Yes, it will not stop unless “WE THE PEOPLE” take a stand now and demand that it stop and to replace all the monuments that have been taken down.
 
It is up to the “Silent Majority” to stand up demand, “STOP IT!”
 
Lifezette adds:
 
“Antifa, which stands for “anti-fascist action,” is a network of loosely affiliated far-left anarchist and communist groups that orchestrate violent protests and attacks on populists, conservatives, and anyone else its members deem to be “fascists” or “Nazis.”
 
“Anyone who tries to hold any sort of right-wing event literally gets beat up by militant communists in the street.”
 
Antifa was formed originally in Germany in the 1980s, its members taking the name of the communist paramilitary groups that engaged the Nazis in street-fighting in the 1930s. It now has active cells across the world, including in Germany, the U.S., Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Czechia, and France.
 
“Anyone who tries to hold any sort of right-wing event literally gets beat up by militant communists in the street,” said independent journalist Lauren Southern, who was present at one of the pro-Trump Berkeley rallies, in a video taken immediately following the violence.”
 
Once again, this group takes its ideology from a Communist paramilitary group that fought the Nazis in the 1930s.
 
The problem today, as they see it, is that President Donald Trump is a Nazi.  Yet, nothing other than their warped thinking has ever proved President Trump is a Nazi.
 
That is perhaps the worst thing that this lawless group can state, but they want to be seen and will not stop until they have destroyed our great nation and turned it backwards with only speech that Antifa allows.
 
Then, there’s Wikipedia…
 
“Antifa is a far-left militant political movement of autonomous, self-described anti-fascist groups in the United States. The term is loosely used to refer to anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobia, as well as anarchist and anti-capitalist groups. Unlike the traditional left, the over-riding aim of self-described Antifa groups is to oppose fascism. These groups are usually anti-government and anti-capitalist, and their methodologies are often perceived as more closely aligned with anarchists than the mainstream left.
 
Antifa is supposed to be against what many people would agree with if only Antifa would do it in a more honest way, like discuss it without the black hoods, sticks, bats, and whatever else they can use to silence what they claim to be fighting, “Free Speech.”
 
They even admit they do not align themselves with the “Left” because the “Left” does not hold their ideologies.
 
But allow me to continue from Wikipedia:
 
“According to National Public Radio, "People who speak for the Antifa movement acknowledge they sometimes carry clubs and sticks," and their "approach is confrontational." CNN describes Antifa as "known for causing damage to property during protests. Scott Crow, described by CNN as "a longtime Antifa organizer," argues that destroying property is not a form of violence.”
 
Clearly, Antifa goes to events looking to harm and disrupt any peaceful rally, especially if it is a rally for Conservatives.
 
We cannot allow a group from any side to stop “Free Speech,” but Antifa does just that; and it goes after certain speech it does not want their base to understand because once they do understand, they may decide to leave the Communist ideology of Antifa.
 
Again, from Discover the Networks:
 
“At its heart, the Antifa movement is in fact a communist phenomenon whose adherents – consisting predominantly of upper-middle-class white males – believe that conservatives, particularly those who supported Donald Trump in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, are the moral equivalent of Nazis and are therefore not entitled to the free-speech protections guaranteed by the First Amendment. Moreover, as the New York Antifa group indicated, the movement has a strong element of anarchism as well; thus its members are commonly seen waving the red and black flag of anarcho-communism.”
 
Yes, read the last hyphenated word in the paragraph above, “anarcho-communism.” That term alone shows what the Antifa group really is a bunch of Communists that are mad because their candidate, liar-Hillary Clinton, lost and now it is up to them and anyone they can convince to do all they can to disrupt our government.
 
“The Left's Portrayal of Antifa

Mainstream media outlets have typically refrained from acknowledging just how radical and revolutionary Antifa's objectives and practices are, portraying the movement instead as a well-intentioned alliance of idealists who seek nothing more than to thwart the evils of right-wing “fascism.”The Washington Post, for instance, has benignly referred to Antifa and its allies as “antifascist groups.” A Los Angeles Times piece calls it an “anti-fascist movement.” And the New York Daily News has described Antifa as an “anti-fascist collective.”Other sources – both mainstream and far left – have painted Antifa in openly complimentary tones. For example, an April 2017Esquire magazine article lauded the movement's “anti-fascist” vigilantes for crashing pro-Trump demonstrations where a “significant … presence” of “white supremacist, alt-right, anti-Semitic and neo-Nazi groups … intersect with the president's broader support base.” A January 2017 piece in The Nation celebrated the fortitude of Antifa activists, comparing them to those “who long before Trump have defended counter-violence against oppression—as in Ferguson, as in Baltimore, as in Watts, as in counter-riots against the Klu Klux Klan, as in slave revolts.” And the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), an organization that routinely likens conservatives to racists and fascists, reports that Antifa activists bravely “confront neo-Nazis and racist skinheads in the street.” Further, SPLC has published a number of stories about Antifa protesters sustaining injuries in their skirmishes with pro-Trump conservatives.”

We must take a very deep look at what Antifa really is.

We should know what the Nazi, skinhead, white supremacists are.  So they have been well defined, but Antifa runs around the outside of the flames it starts like a moth who knows better than to go into the fire.

However, if “WE THE PEOPLE” keep allowing this to happen without demanding justice be brought up this disruptive group, we are accepting their ideas and the shutdown of Free Speech.

We do not wish to shut down Free Speech, but to demand only one side of a story, destroy property and commit acts of violence against peaceful people like Antifa is doing is not right; and the Lame Stream Media will not go against what they do and say for fear of being shut down by Antifa, much like what happened when the Nazi’s took control of Germany.

It is up to “WE THE PEOPLE” to either stand tall and demand an investigation into Antifa to see how bad they are and to jail those who have broken the law in order to force their ideas upon us.

It is time to either take a stand or watch our nation be torn apart by ideas that do not represent the law.

{rickwells.us} ~ Chris Farrell of Judicial Watch joined Gregg Jarrett, filling in for Lou Dobbs, to discuss new information he’s revealing about the secret backroom sanctuary city deals... made by the Phoenix Police Chief, deals which are illegal, as Jarrett later shows. Jarrett says, “So Phoenix pretends it is no longer a sanctuary city. Is it true that the chief of police struck a secret deal that now says police officers cannot get in contact with the feds about somebody who is here illegally?” Farrell replies, “You are correct, and we have the documentation to prove it. Jerry Williams, who actually was a long term Phoenix PD officer, who then left and went out to California, then circled back to become chief. I have knowledge and experience with the chief going back decades now, a full decade. But she met with ACLU members and the ACLU spun off another group that calls themselves “People Power.” Their logo is a clenched red fist.”...  http://rickwells.us/phoenix-pd-chief-made-secret-aclu-sanctuary-city-deal-prosecute-dirty-officials/

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ They swarmed the monument with Tiki torches that flickered in the dark, their shouts piercing what had been a quiet evening on the Lawn at the University of Virginia.

There, at the foot of the bronze statue of Thomas Jefferson, they chanted, "Jews will not replace us!"

The neo-Nazis and white supremacists who recently descended on Charlottesville ignored one key historical fact, among others: Monticello, Jefferson's beloved iconic mansion just a few miles southeast, was saved from ruin by Jews.

Over the course of nearly 90 years after Jefferson's death, two members of the illustrious Levy family purchased and personally saw to the preservation of the property. They did so out of a genuine reverence for Jefferson's role as a Founding Father and for his advocacy of religious freedom. And they did so in the face of the very anti-Semitism that echoed on the streets of Charlottesville decades later.

The first member of the Levy family to own Monticello was Uriah Phillips Levy, a decorated naval officer who served as the first Jewish commodore of the U.S. Navy. He was a leader in the fight against flogging in the Navy and was a hero of the War of 1812. He was also quick to anger and was court-martialed six times, once killing a man in a duel.

As noted by historian Marc Leepson in his book, " Saving Monticello," Uriah Levy had to overcome "more than his share of anti-Semitism to attain the Navy's highest rank." Levy himself said that he was "forced to encounter a large share of the prejudice and hostility by which, for so many ages, the Jew has been persecuted."

At least part of Levy's admiration for Jefferson was born from the president's support of religious equality. In addition to the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson penned the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. Such admiration ran in the family - in 1787, Uriah's brother, Jonas Phillips Levy, wrote to the Constitutional Convention to call on the body to endow "all men" "the natural and unalienable right to worship Almighty G0D according to their own conscience and understanding."

Jefferson - a compulsive shopper burdened by substantial debt throughout his life - died at Monticello on July 4, 1826. His family was forced to sell much of his property, including the mansion, which was purchased by Uriah Levy in 1834 for $2,500. Like Jefferson, Levy was a slave owner, and enslaved people were used along with hired workers to repair the mansion.

Fictional tales of the purchase - which survived well into the 20th century - hint at the anti-Semitism swirling around Levy's ownership. One popular and completely false retelling alleged that Uriah Levy took advantage of a drunk relative of Jefferson's to purchase the property. One newspaper account included made-up dialogue between the two that characterized Levy as having a strong Yiddish accent, despite the fact that he was born in Philadelphia and was a fifth-generation American.

When he died in 1862, Uriah left behind no children, and his complicated will suggested he wanted Monticello to become a farm school for the orphans of Navy warrant officers. But before any arrangements could be made, Monticello and surrounding Virginia came under control of the Confederacy through the sequestration terms of the Alien Enemies Act.

No heavy fighting took place near Monticello during the Civil War. Soldiers and civilians alike visited the mansion, often leaving their personal marks behind by writing their names on the walls of the upstairs dome room and snatching souvenirs as they pleased. House furniture was broken, and Jefferson's gravesite badly defaced. By 1865, the house was in ruin.

When the Civil War ended, the house returned to the heirs of Uriah Levy and would eventually come under the ownership of his nephew, Jefferson Monroe Levy, in 1879. Named for the deceased president, Jefferson Levy was a three-term New York congressman, businessman and lawyer who turned his immediate attention to the repair and renovation of the mansion.

"That place was never going to collapse, but it was in really bad shape twice," Leepson said. "If it wasn't for Uriah and Jefferson Levy, there's a chance we wouldn't have Monticello today."

Susan Stein, the Richard Gilder Senior Curator at Monticello, agreed, saying the protection of Monticello by the Levy family "was one of the milestones in the history of historic preservation in America."

But like his uncle, Jefferson Levy faced bigotry, this time from those who launched campaigns to place Monticello under federal control. Their main argument, Leepson said, was that the property shouldn't be in private hands and should be open to the public.

"However, the entire campaign had more than a whiff of anti-Semitism," Leepson said. "They used code words, referring to the Levys as 'aliens' and 'outsiders.' "

Most of the effort to boot the Levy family from Monticello came from outside Charlottesville, namely from Maud Littleton, the wife of a New York congressman. Maud Littleton, according to Leepson's book, gave speeches, congressional testimony and interviews threaded with nativist-style rhetoric and tropes of greed and lack of patriotism.

Jefferson Levy ultimately gave in to public pressure and, after Congress rejected his asking price of $500,000, sold Monticello to the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation in 1923. In an interview he gave that year, Jefferson Levy estimated that he and his family had collectively invested $2.4 million in the property between its purchase, the cost of keeping it up, repairs after the Civil War and the interest on the money sunk in the property.

Levy also made contributions to Jefferson's beloved University of Virginia, donating a regulator clock for the library and a device that electronically controlled the bells in each of the university's lecture halls. He also provided for the replacement of two steel clock dials for the Rotunda, which had been destroyed in an 1895 fire.

Yet it would be decades before the Jefferson foundation fully acknowledged the Levy family's role in saving Monticello. Levy descendants felt unwelcome when they tried to visit, despite the fact that Uriah's mother, Rachel Phillips Levy, was buried on the property.

In Leepson's book, Jefferson Levy's grandniece, Harley Lewis, recounted how her parents observed what was, for a time, likely the only nod to her family's history at Monticello. Back then, she said, a plaque near Monticello's gate read: "Uriah Phillips Levy, a Jew, purchased Monticello for $2,500 and later sold it."

It wasn't until the mid-1970s that the foundation began acknowledging all the Levys had done at Monticello. In 1985, Lewis, among other descendants, took part in a commemorative ceremony on the property that included the unveiling of a new plaque at Rachel Levy's grave. The visitor center contains a display on the full story of the Levys' ownership.

For decades, Uriah and Jefferson Levy had been branded as intruders, their crucial role in the preservation of Monticello largely forgotten. It was certainly a fact that went ignored as neo-Nazis encircled Jefferson's statue - a masterpiece of Moses Ezekiel, a Jewish sculptor and soldier.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Lewis said she wanted to believe that the anti-Semitism her ancestors encountered had "all disappeared." Now she knows it hasn't. But much as it did when Uriah and Jefferson Levy came to town, she knows the bigots weren't from Charlottesville.

"These are outsiders that came in," she said.
