{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ The fact that Robert Mueller, the former FBI head who "bungled" the post-9/11 anthrax attack, is leading the "Russia-gate" investigation should be a matter of grave concern for Americans... Comey, a close friend of Mueller, covered for the erstwhile director in the Amerithrax affair and the upcoming inquiry could very well be a quid pro quo transaction. The convoluted logic that led Mueller to target a "right-wing" government scientist when the infamous anthrax letters contained the imprimatur of Islamic extremists - "Death to America," "Death to Israel," Allah is G-d" - is more than mildly troublesome for a high level government official. Recall that Mueller met with Nihad Awad, executive director of Hamas doing business as CAIR, as well as senior leadership of the Islamic Institute, the American Muslim Council and the Muslim Public Affairs Council all Muslim Brotherhood affiliates in 2002 at FBI headquarters... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/the-mueller-comey-tag-team-is-out-to-get-trump?f=must_reads

{thenewamerican.com} ~ Thanks to Congress and the liar-nObama administration, American taxpayers are expected to pour millions of dollars into a ruthless Marxist terrorist group known as the FARC... the Spanish acronym for the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia. Among other crimes, the Castro-backed terror group has slaughtered and tortured hundreds of thousands of civilians, pumped unfathomable amounts of cocaine into the United States, kidnapped and raped children, and much more. If establishment forces in Washington, D.C., and Bogota get their way, however, U.S. taxpayers will help finance not only the FARC itself, but the communist takeover of Colombia as well. Under liar-nObama, whose political career literally began in the home of a Castro-backed terrorist, U.S. taxpayers were put on the hook for almost half of a billion dollars to Colombia last year. Much of that money was supposed to be used to pursue the fraudulent “peace” deal that will literally put mass-murdering FARC terrorists in Congress — without serving a single day in jail for their 50 years of mass murder and war crimes. liar-nObama promised even more cash, and the GOP Congress approved it... https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/south-america/item/26220-u-s-taxpayers-fund-takeover-of-colombia-by-marxist-terrorists

The regime is trying to downplay the significance of the attack and redirect public attention and anger toward the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. That response is troublesome because it suggests that the Islamic Republic will respond to this tragedy by escalating the regional conflict. The attack was complex and sophisticated. Its success was the more remarkable in that Iran is one of the most securitized states in the world. Multiple security services pervade Iran’s cities and towns, the Islamic Republic has established one of the most thorough regimes of internet and cellphone censorship and monitoring in the world, and the regime has demonstrated its willingness to subordinate civil liberties completely to the mission of preserving itself in power.

{rickwells.us} ~ Lou Dobbs interviews Judicial Watch’s Chris Farrell on the Comey testimony, saying, “Let’s start with the bombshell that Loretta Lynch ordered the Director of the FBI... to refer to an investigation as ‘a matter.’ What in the world are these people playing at?” Farrell replies, “Well, it’s clear the FBI Director was taking instructions from liar-Hillary Clinton’s campaign, because clearly, the Attorney General was giving him talking points and he literally adopted them. This admission today is stunning. I would argue that Mr. Comey’s notes are property of the United States government and that he has absconded with them.” “Frankly,” says Farrell, “if I were Attorney General, about twenty minutes after his confession today in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Deputy US Marshalls would have raided his home and office, as well as that of Mr. Richmond at Columbia Law School. Those records and documents must be recovered, Mr. Comey had no business releasing them, it’s an extraordinary admission on his part; it’s lawless.”... http://rickwells.us/dobbs-farrell-lawless-comey-took-instructions-clinton-betrayed-oath/

An Open Letter to Senator Bernie Sanders

_uobwLVORuZNibvwB06_MfhEIzo2EsDxmmisL17D6WP0D6Gs0svQsNB0MjA0DlyyY6wpszteIqUyzatRK2bx1aSSHMSBisY6Fvfw--mX_pE8pkh5tRz8aIgoak3ZNWoodu_z0qcPFuiJMEt-al7mwsxl=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=

by Minister Michael Brown
{townhall.com} ~ Dear Senator Sanders,

I write this letter to you with respect and concern. Respect because of your years of service to our country and your terrific campaign last year. Concern because of your grilling of Russell Vought, President Trump’s nominee for Deputy Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, earlier this week.

Frankly, sir, I found your exchange with Mr. Vought to be quite alarming, not to mention downright un-American.

May I have your ear for a moment, Mr. Senator?

Although I am registered as an independent rather than a Republican, I am strongly conservative, and so, in fundamental disagreement with much of your ideology. Yet when you rose to such national prominence last year, I found much to like about you.

You were unafraid to put your beliefs on the table. You were plainspoken rather than rhetorical. You had a great following among the younger generation. You had no history of ugly scandals in your past. And you had great passion and vision, in particular for a man in his 70s.

All this was impressive to me, and, in candor, I felt that the election was stacked against you and in favor of Mrs. liar-Clinton.

So, I bear no ill will towards you and I believe that you want what is best for America, as do I.

What concerns me is that you voted against Mr. Vought because of his mainstream, historic, Christian beliefs. You even stated that someone who holds to these values “is really not someone who this country is supposed to be about.”

With all respect, Mr. Senator, are you aware that Mr. Vought’s beliefs are far closer to those of many of our Founding Fathers than yours would be? And didn’t our Founders put in our Constitution that “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”

Yet you applied a religious test to Mr. Vought. On what basis?

Are you aware, sir, that his beliefs mirror those of some of our past presidents and Supreme Court justices, along with the beliefs of some of your esteemed colleagues in Congress? Most importantly, are you aware that Mr. Vought’s beliefs are taken straight from the New Testament?

You took exception to his quite orthodox statement that, “Muslims do not simply have a deficient theology. They do not know God because they have rejected Jesus Christ, His Son, and they stand condemned.”

Is it possible you misunderstood the meaning of these words? Could it be that you took them to mean something that Mr. Vought never intended?

After asking him if he felt he was statement was “Islamophobic,” which, of course, he did not, you asked him, “Do you believe people in the Muslim religion stand condemned?” This was followed by, “What about Jews? Do they stand condemned too? . . . do you think that people who are not Christians are going to be condemned?”

The answer for any Bible-believing Christian is simple. Yes, every human being stands condemned before God and in need of a Savior. That’s why God sent Jesus to die for our sins, and that’s why we send missionaries around the world to declare this message of salvation. May I give you the biblical context for this belief?

I imagine that, somewhere in your lifetime, you’ve heard the most famous verse in the New Testament: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

Does that sound familiar? These are the verses that comes next: “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil” (John 3:17-19, my emphasis).

Did you note those words, Mr. Senator? The New Testament is stating clearly that all human beings stand condemned in God’s sight because we have chosen our ways rather than His. For that reason, He sent Jesus into the world, not to condemn us but to save us.

That means that you, too, stand condemned before God, no matter how much good you have done. But you are not alone. Billions of others find themselves in the same predicament. The good news is that the same solution applies to all: trusting the Savior to forgive our sins and change our hearts.

Are you saying, then, that anyone who subscribes to these historic Christian beliefs is not fit to serve our country, even as Deputy Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget? Does that not strike you as standing in fundamental violation of the very principles on which our nations was founded? Isn’t this a classic example of advocating for freedom from religion rather than freedom of religion?

By your logic, not only would Mr. Vought and as mentioned, quite a few of your colleagues not be fit to serve, but a devout Muslim could not serve either, since Muslims believe that Jews, Christians, Hindus, and others must become Muslims to be saved. And what about an Orthodox Jew who believes that you, a non-observant Jew, are guilty of violating Torah and thereby sinning against God? Should that Orthodox Jew not be allowed to serve?

What if Mr. Vought had answered your questions by quoting the words of Jesus? What if he said, “Sir, I believe in Jesus Christ, who said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” (John 14:6) Would you have replied, “Well, if you believe what Jesus said, you can’t serve our country.” Really?

As a Christian, Mr. Vought would be duty bound to treat everyone with kindness, respect, and fairness, regardless of their religious beliefs. And as someone who loves God, he would expected to love his neighbor as himself. This too is part of his faith.

Yet you voted against him solely based on his standard, orthodox beliefs in the exclusivity of salvation through Jesus, stating, to repeat, he “is really not someone who this country is supposed to be about.”

To the contrary, sir, he is what this country has been about since the days of our first settlers. And it is people like him – people of robust faith who genuinely care about others – who this country needs today.

Perhaps, by now, one of your staff members has suggested to you that you misunderstood Mr. Vought’s statement and that, perhaps, you treated him unfairly.

If not, I do hope you will take to heart what I’ve written here, humble yourself and apologize, and then evaluate this candidate based on his overall qualifications.

If, however, you fully understood what Mr. Vought believed and for that very reason found him unfit to serve, then my concern is greatly intensified. You would then be advocating for an American that would become tyrannical and oppressive. And you would be declaring war on some of our most precious and fundamental freedoms.

Is that really the America that you want, Mr. Senator?

EPA: Goodbye Captain Planet and Hello

Real Leadership

OgS861XlCg-28VJXx4qSsRVV-zMCHf0KZ_hiPsCSRrET4avel-G1Ka6-ndpbN7iFO2wRgGWD3rFW_PBhTjZ7USOwHprD_VMc0PMA_J2McuqKlPgpchkUY-McEbIz5UA=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=

By Caroline Camden Lewis: If you grew up watching Captain Planet, you would know that the greatest threat to the environment is the human species. And the worst culprits among these humans are, of course, business owners. The job of planet heroes, then, is to fight against the evil capitalists and to be a voice for the voiceless rivers, oceans and clouds.

While this propagandistic narrative works well for a cartoon series (ok, it was atrocious there too), in real life, capitalism and private property incentivize clean air, water and reforestation. Let's say, for example, that you own a timber farm that harvests wood every seven years. You would take care of your land and the nearby water sources because if you didn't, you wouldn't have the robust healthy trees for the next harvest seven years later and your renewable resource would no longer be renewable.

Barack liar-nObama based his Captain Planet environmental policy on the incorrect assumption that business deliberately pollutes the environment. Thus, rather than dealing with, say, lead in the soil or toxins in the air, he focused on regulating businesses out of business and thereby bolstering bureaucratic power. This flawed theory casts private sector businesses as top polluters, and government-run companies as charitable saviors. Of course, look no further than the exceptionally managed $535 million federal loan to the now defunct Solyndra to see the truth. One report estimated that the total taxpayer cost may be as high as $845 million. The crony capitalist government "start-ups" that benefit bureaucrats and cost the taxpayer millions are nobody's charity.

While liar-nObama busied himself with failed government start-ups, he ignored the larger issues like air quality and Superfund. The EPA manages a program called "Superfund," which cleans up some of the nation's most hazardously contaminated sites. These sites can contain toxic and hazardous chemicals and require the remediation by the EPA. The EPA establishes a National Priorities List (NPL) of the top U.S. sites in need of Superfund clean-up or remediation. Yet some of these sites have stayed on the list due to lack of action by the EPA for years, even decades.

Take, for example, the West Lake Landfill Superfund site near St. Louis, Missouri. In 1973, 38,000 tons of solid waste were mixed with 8,700 tons of leached barium sulfate (a uranium ore processing residue) left over from the Manhattan Project, a World War II era government (ahem) program which developed nuclear bombs. In 1990, the EPA designated it as a Superfund site on the NPL. Yet, under liar-nObama, nothing happened except "investigations" and "studies." Meanwhile, the residents of St. Louis live with this unacceptable level of toxicity. Despite liar-nObama's claims to be "for" the environment, 1,322 Superfund sites like this still remain around the country (more than when he came into office).

And then there's air quality. The EPA sets air quality standards, called the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), which put limits on six air pollutants (sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, lead, ozone, nitrogen dioxide and particle pollution). There are currently 34 states that do not meet the EPA's air quality requirements, 10 more than when liar-nObama first took office. Ignoring the obvious needs of our country to deal with toxic waste, soil and water contaminants irresponsibly puts public health at risk.

So how did liar-nObama, so lauded by the media as an environmental crusader, fail on such an epic level?

Well, because for him, a business-killing, highly regulatory EPA was a success. While it failed in protecting the environment, it succeeded in massive regulations on manufacturing and other businesses.

The good news is that we are saying goodbye to the fictional assumptions of Captain Planet and saying hello to real leadership at the EPA. President Donald Trump's new EPA administrator, Scott Pruitt, has recommitted the agency to actually focusing on the environment while also supporting economic growth. Last month, Pruitt issued a memo that prioritizes the cleanup of the toxic 1,322 Superfund sites across the country. Under his leadership, the EPA is planning to roll back needless regulations, which will save an estimated 1.4 million U.S. jobs. Pruitt's commitment to the Constitution, the Rule of Law, and the process by which administrative rules are made means that the agency won't be abused by special-interest groups who seek to change policy though a "sue-and-settle" strategy. Additionally, the new leadership has already begun to restore their relationships with the states, as opposed to liar-nObama's modus operandi of dictating from Washington.

Finally, President Trump's recent decision to exit the Paris Accord not only preserves our sovereignty to establish our own environmental priorities (which are cleaner than most in the world), but frees us from the obligation to pay for the remediation of other countries (namely India and China).

liar-nObama's failed leadership co-opted the environment issue as a way to concentrate government power by killing manufacturing and energy businesses, while simultaneously ignoring the real issues of air quality and toxic Superfund site cleanup. Trump's and Pruitt's leadership prioritizes the environment while also supporting business, jobs and the American worker. This new team seeks to achieve what we all want: clean water, air and soil, clean places to live and removal of toxic substances in order to provide a clean environment for the humans, plants and animals of the next generation.

He expressed their common purpose and need for unity in fighting back in the war against America being waged by the anti-American leftists.

And as you know, we’re under siege, you understand that. But we will come out bigger and better and stronger than ever, you watch.” President Trump said, “The entrenched influences and failed bitter voices in Washington will do everything in their power to try and stop us from this righteous cause, to try to stop all of you. They will lie, they will obstruct, they will spread their hatred and their prejudice. But we will not back down from doing what is right.

The impeach-Trump conspiracy

{wnd.com} ~ Pressed by Megyn Kelly on his ties to President Trump, an exasperated Vladimir Putin blurted out, “We had no relationship at all. … I never met him. … Have you all lost your senses over there?”

Consider the questions that have convulsed this city since the Trump triumph, and raised talk of impeachment.

Did Trump collude with Russians to hack the DNC emails and move the goods to WikiLeaks, thus revealing the state secret that DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz was putting the screws to poor Bernie Sanders?

If not Trump himself, did campaign aides collude with the KGB?

Now, given that our NSA and CIA seemingly intercept everything Russians say to Americans, why is our fabled FBI, having investigated for a year, unable to give us a definitive yes or no?

The snail’s pace of the FBI investigation explains Trump’s frustration. What explains the FBI’s torpor? If J. Edgar Hoover had moved at this pace, John Dillinger would have died of old age.

We hear daily on cable TV of the “Trump-Russia” scandal. Yet, no one has been charged with collusion, and every intelligence official, past or present, who has spoken out has echoed ex-acting CIA Director Mike Morrell:

“On the question of the Trump campaign conspiring with the Russians here, there is smoke, but there is no fire, at all. … There’s no little campfire, there’s no little candle, there’s no spark.”

Where are the criminals? Where is the crime?

As for the meetings between Gen. Mike Flynn, Jared Kushner, Sen. Jeff Sessions and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, it appears that Trump wanted a “back channel” to Putin so he could honor his commitment to seek better relations with Russia.

Given the Russophobia rampant here, that makes sense. And while it appears amateurish that Flynn would use Russian channels of communication, what is criminal about this?

Putin is not Stalin. Soviet divisions are not sitting on the Elbe. The Cold War is over. And many presidents have used back channels. Woodrow Wilson sent Col. Edward House to talk to the Kaiser and the Brits. FDR ran messages to Churchill through Harry Hopkins.

As for Trump asking Director James Comey to cut some slack for Flynn, it is understandable in human terms. Flynn had been a loyal aide and friend and Trump had to feel rotten about having to fire the man.

So, what is really going on here?

All the synthetic shock over what Kushner or Sessions said to Kislyak aside, this city’s hatred for President Trump, and its fanatic determination to bring him down in disgrace, predates his presidency.

For Trump ran in 2016 not simply as the Republican alternative. He presented his candidacy as a rejection, a repudiation of the failed elites, political and media, of both parties. Americans voted in 2016 not just for a change in leaders but for a revolution to overthrow a ruling regime.

Thus, this city has never reconciled itself to Trump’s victory, and the president daily rubs their noses in their defeat with his tweets.

Seeking a rationale for its rejection, this city has seized upon that old standby. We didn’t lose! The election was stolen in a vast conspiracy, an “act of war” against America, an assault upon “our democracy,” criminal collusion between the Kremlin and the Trumpites.

Hence, Trump is an illegitimate president, and it is the duty of brave citizens of both parties to work to remove the usurper.

The city seized upon a similar argument in 1968, when Richard Nixon won, because it was said he had colluded to have South Vietnam’s president abort Lyndon Johnson’s new plan to bring peace to Southeast Asia in the final hours of that election.

Then, as now, the “T” word, treason, was trotted out.

Attempts to overturn elections where elites are repudiated are not uncommon in U.S. history. Both Nixon and Reagan, after 49-state landslides, were faced with attempts to overturn the election results.

With Nixon in Watergate, the elites succeeded. With Reagan in Iran-Contra, they almost succeeded in destroying that great president as he was ending the Cold War in a bloodless victory for the West.

After Lincoln’s assassination, President Andrew Johnson sought to prevent Radical Republicans from imposing a ruthless Reconstruction on a defeated and devastated South.

The Radicals enacted the Tenure of Office Act, stripping Johnson of his authority to remove any member of the Cabinet without Senate permission. Johnson defied the Radicals and fired their agent in the Cabinet, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton.

“Tennessee” Johnson was impeached, and missed conviction by one vote. John F. Kennedy, in his 1956 book, called the senator who had voted to save Johnson a “Profile in Courage.”

If Trump is brought down on the basis of what Putin correctly labels “nonsense,” this city will have executed a nonviolent coup against a constitutionally elected president. Such an act would drop us into the company of those Third World nations where such means are the customary ways that corrupt elites retain their hold on power.

The Astonishing Regulatory Crackdown

rl6x4rNYy5vszr9nsV1rrXbdH6r9vB8qo6WJAa6_N1XF9IeDPJcMIisDbGGvFoVwT-v9DpNhHLwxSyTe_3d_NRbj7-s3bZIqp8mbKvoNN1z3vuimB9oo62FQmaFC-tE=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=

Media pundits are more than happy to remain hyper-focused on what they absurdly allege are “incriminating” issues related to Donald Trump’s presidency. But rarely, if ever, do they focus on what, at least in theory, is good news for Democrats and Republicans alike — for example, the Trump administration’s unprecedented rollback in regulatory output.

After all, in 2011, Barack liar-nObama stated: “What I have done — and this is unprecedented, by the way, no administration has done this before — is I’ve said to each agency, don’t just look at current regulations — or don’t just look at future regulations, regulations that we’re proposing, let’s go backwards and look at regulations that are already on the books, and if they don’t make sense, let’s get rid of them.

Of course, the truth is that the regulatory state grew exponentially under liar-nObama despite his rhetoric, and Democrats — contrary to what they claim — advocate regulations anywhere and everywhere they can get them. But one of the most ignored achievements of the Trump administration so far is just how little the regulatory state is growing.

In "The Historic Nature of the Regulatory Slowdown," the American Action Forum’s Sam Batkins writes of the “profound” nature of Trump’s curtailing the regulatory state. Batkins astonishingly reveals, “The White House has released just 8 percent of the historical volume of regulation. Cabinet agencies have only finalized $33 million in costs, compared to a 2005 to 2017 average of $26 billion. On the cost side, regulatory output is just 0.12 percent of historic norms.” He adds, “By virtually any measure, dating back through two Democratic presidents and one Republican president, the lack of regulatory output is historic. … For perspective, the liar-nObama Administration finalized $58 billion in regulatory costs during roughly the first four months of 2016. President Bush approved $22 billion in costs during this period in 2008.”

What would truly put the icing on the cake is if this trend can be maintained — which is questionable for various reasons and impending circumstances. But so far, the crackdown is truly something to behold. Hopefully, it also signals the revival of U.S. manufacturing. The Manhattan Institute’s Mark P. Mills says, “Complying with regulations costs manufacturers an average of $20,000 per employee per year, twice as great a burden as for other businesses. For the smallest manufacturers (i.e., those with fewer than 50 employees), that annual cost is $35,000 per employee per year. In surveys, America’s manufacturers routinely rank regulatory burdens as the top impediment to growth; a large majority also say that regulatory burdens are higher in America than in other nations.” We’ve got the momentum; let’s capitalize on reform by going even further. ~The Patriot Post

{rickwells.us} ~ RINO-John McCain has managed to gather himself after he put on a display of the ravages of dementia for all the world to see during the public hearings portion of the James Comey Senate testimony... There were a lot of loose thoughts drifting around in his head, many of them making their way through his mouth in a confusing mess of disjointed, barely comprehensible utterings. RINO-McCain is engaging in some damage control, attempting to salvage what’s left of his reputation and dignity, proving he’s still the tough guy who is standing up to Putin on every front, even fronts where there is no Russian presence. Despite more admissions on the part of James Comey now being added to the mountain of similar statements by other officials, RINO-McCain’s still calling for a select committee, which he will surely be a part of. Their purpose is clear, pretend to be conducting yet another investigation into the non-existent collusion, and to determine, in the conclusions of their investigation, that Russia is to blame...http://rickwells.us/lame-brain-mccain-ignores-comey-confessions-still-wants-select-committee/

{legalinsurrection.com} ~ I was not able to watch James Comey’s testimony today live, as I was in the car much of the day. I was able to listen to the first hour and a half on terrestrial radio... Substantively, what jumped out at me was how much of Comey’s testimony was impressionistic — how he felt about what Trump said and what he surmised Trump intended. From a supposedly hardened prosecutor and FBI Director, it was a strange approach, one that must have been deliberate with the knowledge that Comey had very little hard evidence of Trump wrongdoing, much less criminality. Another startling aspect was how damaging the Comey testimony was to the Russian conspiracy theorists who have driven the media and Democratic war on Trump. This testimony should spell the death of the Russia collusion claims, as even Chris Matthews acknowledged today. Comey described how he succumbed to pressure from then Attorney General Loretta Lynch. It all puts the secret meeting between Lynch and Bill liar-Clinton in a new perspective, and should result in a re-opened investigation not only of liar-Hillary’s server but a new investigation of Lynch. http://legalinsurrection.com/2017/06/pathetic-endings-to-prosecutorial-careers-of-james-comey-and-loretta-lynch/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LegalInsurrection+%28Le%C2%B7gal+In%C2%B7sur%C2%B7rec%C2%B7tion%29

liar-nObama, Eric Holder Lied,

Obstructed Justice In “Fast And Furious”

by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Anyone who was paying attention to the actions and words of former Attorney General under Hussein liar-nObama, Eric Holder, knew that he was almost as big of a liar as the pretend “president” and equally culpable in many of the activities that were part of their shared anti-America agenda. Now, with the release of a House Investigative Report comes some more validation of that fact.

Bret Baier details, “An absolutely blistering report tonight, out, saying the liar-nObama administration in general and former Attorney General Eric Holder in particular, repeatedly lied to the family of a slain border patrol officer about the weapons used in his death and stonewalled efforts to get at the truth.”

That slain border patrol officer was Brian Terry, and among those family members who Eric Holder and his accomplices lied to was his mother, who is featured in the video report. It’s very similar to the situation faced by Patricia Smith and others who lost family members in Benghazi, who were also lied to be liar-nObama and by liar-Hillary Clinton in the same manner, giving excuses instead of truthful answers and obstructing investigative efforts.

The report describes the Fast and Furious gun running scam as a gun walking sting that went wrong and not a deliberate arming of the Mexican gangs for whom the Democrats make entry and trafficking into the United States so incredibly easy. There was no basis in reason for the supposed sting and no method for tracking the guns once they were out of sight, but it was a somehow still a “sting” and not the arming of their cartel allies.

Senator Charles Grassley, upon confirmation of the fact that 64,000 pages of documents were erroneously labeled as being protected by executive privilege as part of the obstruction by Holder and liar-nObama, was outraged. He said the gold seal of authenticity now has been applied to the House’s bi-partisan vote to hold the Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt.”

Terry’s mother said in her remarks, “Only one possible motivation remains for all of those involved who have covered up Fast and Furious. That is to conceal their own shame and disgrace.” With all due respect, Mrs. Terry, there’s another more likely possibility, particularly that you are dealing with Democrats incapable of shame or disgrace, and prone to criminal activity and profiteering. They’re covering up their complicity, a potential much larger criminal operation that may involved the cartels, drug running and human trafficking, and protecting themselves from discovery and the consequences. That is far more likely.

If that weren’t the case, why would they, as whistleblower John Dodson testified, engaged in the acts they did against him. He said, “I was lied about, disparaged, publicly attacked, ridiculed, libeled, I’ve been transferred eleven times, denied promotion, ostracized, barred from government workplaces and banned from public buildings.”

They’re sending a message and it’s not to hide their shame. The reporter notes that “no one from the ATF or Justice Department was fired or severely disciplined for the cover up.” Will there be charges drawn up against liar-nObama and Holder and maybe liar-Hillary?

Comey’s Coy Testimony Indicts Himself, Not Trump

adDyWKsG-WppChG6UBrA9RsupGMIXReksHoFJWuY0AhS6rQs3_TyIvClaJgS1gR7pDZUYOiBMX0HeTqTRjE_aPC8ZDddo6fJKgI3R3ADkpT5oCiXqqu_809xNcaJy7lF=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=

It is indeed interesting that Donald Trump’s biggest request and frustration with former FBI Director James Comey deals with the question of “honest loyalty.” It’s only this week, after Trump has repeatedly insisted that he was not personally under FBI investigation, that Comey finally confirms that truth. This after, according to Comey’s own testimony, Trump had requested the FBI clear the record regarding himself and the investigation into Russian election meddling. Clearly, Comey made little effort to set the public record straight; instead, he seemed to prefer allowing the continuation of “the cloud” of the MSM’s unsubstantiated collusion narrative to remain unchallenged.

Indeed, he told the Senate he took notes because “I was honestly concerned that [the president] might lie about the nature of that meeting.”

In a phone call from Trump on March 30th, Comey recollects, “[The President] asked what we could do to ‘lift the cloud.’ I responded that we were investigating the matter as quickly as we could, and that there would be great benefit, if we didn’t find anything, to our having done the work well. He agreed, but then re-emphasized the problems this was causing him.” Regarding the same phone conversation, Comey’s written testimony continues, “I explained that we had briefed the leadership of Congress on exactly which individuals we were investigating and that we had told Congressional leaders that we were not personally investigating President Trump. I reminded him I had previously told him that. He repeatedly told me, ‘We need to get that fact out.’ (I did not tell the President that the FBI and the Department of Justice had been reluctant to make public statements that we did not have an open case on President Trump for a number of reasons, most importantly because it would create a duty to correct, should that change.)”

That statement by Comey sums up the whole problem and gives insight into interpreting what Trump meant in his request for “loyalty” from Comey. While at least three times by Comey’s own admission he told Trump that the president was not under investigation, Comey remained reluctant to share this information with the general public because he was worried that the status could change. Talk about blatant bureaucratic hog wash. Comey certainly had no qualms about telling the public when the FBI had opened and then closed its investigation into liar-Hillary Clinton, only to announce that he was reopening it, followed by a another election-layup announcement that he had closed it again.

Comey also noted, as he did in May, that former Attorney General Loretta Lynch leaned on him to downplay the liar-Hillary Clinton by calling it a “matter” and not an “investigation.”

In all honesty, Comey’s testimony ends up providing greater support for Trump’s decision to fire him. In fact, if anything, it corroborates Trump’s account of his communications with Comey — that Comey had indeed repeatedly assured him that he was not under investigation. However, the Leftmedia will still attempt to spin this as the “smoking gun” of Trump obstructing the Russia investigation. The reality is there’s not even smoke here.

And so I asked a close friend of mine to do it.” That special counsel, as it turns out, was also is also a close friend of his and his former boss at the FBI. Rep Louie Gohmert was busy during the hearings doing real work, but he has reviewed Comey’s testimony and described it as “shocking.” Gohmert says, “I understand apparently President Trump says he didn’t actually question his loyalty, but you know, Lou, you know the President could tell. ‘There’s a potential problem here with his being honorable and loyal’ and man, was that the truth!” Gohmert quotes a Twitter user who said, “Comey: ‘Loretta Lynch told me to lie and I didn’t write that down, but I wrote down that Trump stuff because I was afraid he would lie.’ I mean, you know, holy cow. It makes no sense but one thing is very, very clear, he was 100 percent loyal to Loretta Lynch and to liar-Hillary Clinton... http://rickwells.us/dobbs-gohmert-comey-covering-clinton-reopening-case/

by Judge Andrew Napolitano
{townhall.com} ~ Last weekend, the FBI arrested an employee of a corporation in Augusta, Georgia, that had a contract with the National Security Agency and charged her with espionage. Espionage occurs when someone who has been entrusted to safeguard state secrets fails to do so. In this case, the government alleges that the person to whom state secrets had been entrusted is 25-year-old Reality Leigh Winner, who had a top-secret national security clearance.

The government claims that Winner downloaded and printed a top-secret NSA report, removed the printed version of the report from her employer's premises, and then mailed it to The Intercept, a highly regarded international media outlet that exposes government wrongdoing.

The government says it learned of this when folks from The Intercept called the NSA and told agents what they had received and what they planned to publish. After hearing agents describe the potential harm to their work if the full report were to be released, The Intercept agreed to redact certain portions, though it published the bulk of the report.

The report is startling, as it reveals that the NSA discovered that Russian hackers in late October and early November 2016 planted cookies attractive, uniquely tailored links into the websites of 122 American city and county clerks responsible for counting ballots in the presidential election. This means that if any employee of those clerks' offices clicked onto any cookie, the hackers had access to -- and thus the ability to interfere with -- the tabulation of votes. This NSA report is at sharp odds with the denials of Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election made last year by President Barack liar-nObama and made last week by Russian President Vladimir Putin, and it is profoundly more detailed and alarming than anything the federal government has thus far revealed.

Doesn't the American public have the right to know what the Russians did in the election? Is it necessarily criminal to make such things public? Isn't the NSA supposed to protect us from foreign hackers who are attempting to interfere with the core American electoral process -- the election of the president -- and not keep us in the dark if it fails to do so?

Here is the back story.

I have argued since 2013, when we first learned from the Edward Snowden revelations that the NSA has gathered too much data about too many innocent people since 2005, that it does so in violation of the Constitution and federal law and that it suffers from information overload -- meaning it has more raw data than it has resources to examine in a timely and effective manner.

The result of all this is liberty lost -- as innocents have their privacy invaded and, as we know, sometimes even revealed to the public for political purposes -- and our safety compromised, since the NSA repeatedly discovers that it had all relevant communications of killers before the killings but does not connect the dots until too late, as in Boston, San Bernardino and Orlando; and the same can be said for our British partners in Manchester and London during the past two weeks.

The stated purpose of all this suspicionless bulk spying on all of us all the time is to keep us safe. Yet we know that the NSA has failed at that, and we know from a recent judicial condemnation of the NSA that it has failed to protect our liberties. Now we know that it has failed to protect our presidential election.

Is it a crime to reveal what the FBI says Winner revealed? In a word, yes. Yet I argue for understanding the full picture here. If she did as the FBI alleges, she committed a violation of federal law. However, it appears she did not do so for petty, political, financial or venal reasons; rather, she may have done so for the American people to know that the spies who have failed us would keep us ignorant and vulnerable.

Can The Intercept be prosecuted for revealing top-secret material to the public? In a word, no. The Supreme Court made clear in the Pentagon Papers case in 1971 that a media entity may freely publish matters that are material to the public interest, notwithstanding the source of the matters or the behavior of the source that delivered the matters to it. This is grounded in the essence of personal liberty in a free society. In matters of material interest to the public, the public's right to know what the government is doing or has failed to do constitutionally trumps the government's right to secrecy.

Where does all this leave us? Reality Winner may very well be a patriot who risked her career and freedom to warn the American public of what the government was afraid to acknowledge -- that mass spying keeps us neither safe nor free. No doubt the government doesn't see it that way. This case has embarrassed the government, and she will most likely be prosecuted. I hope the judge in her case lets her lawyers argue that because we live in perilous times, the people are entitled to know what the government does and fails to do in our names to address the peril so we can change the government when it fails.

The remedy for the revelation of truth should consist in the truth's ability to flourish in the marketplace of ideas rather than in the punishment of person revealing information. The core principle of democracy is that the people have consented to the government. When the government keeps vital secrets from us -- particularly secrets that embarrass it, secrets that cause us to view it differently, secrets of failure -- we end up with a government that we do not know or trust. And one that ultimately lacks our consent.

Marco Rubio Questions James Comey –

The Curiously Unidirectional Leaks

by theconservativetreehouse.com

{theconservativetreehouse.com} ~ Senator Marco Rubio questions fired FBI Director James Comey and discovers President Trump doesn’t know the politically correct order of operations when approaching a request... to get beyond hyper-partisan politicized investigative nonsense; which led to Comey instructing Trump orbit how the chain of political command works in DC; which led to President Trump agreeing the investigation should be carried out thoroughly and entirely because he wants to get this ridiculous investigative cloud off his back so he can get back to doing the work he was elected to do; and President Trump wants anyone connected to Russia improperly to be discovered so he can get rid of them and move on.

{rickwells.us} ~ This is what happens when communists rise to positions of power over Christians. Senator Bernie Sanders, a rock star to many naive young people who don’t understand they’re giving away their national birthright... by supporting him or any Democrat, was ruthless in questioning Russell Vought, a nominee for a position as Deputy Director of the White House OMB. Sanders dodged questions regarding his religion during the campaign but made it clear he is not involved in practicing any organized religion and seems to be quite hostile to those who practice Christianity. Apparently unbridled rudeness of the type displayed disgustingly by newbie Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) is in style with Democrats, as Sanders raised his voice and was just as rude as Harris was, to someone who was in a much more vulnerable position than her victims. Sanders reads a letter from a Muslim group objecting to the writings of Mr. Vought for a position that is not a religious-based one with the OMB. Sanders quotes the writing, saying, “Muslims do not simply have a deficient theology, they do not know God because they have rejected Jesus Christ, his Son, and they stand condemned.”... http://rickwells.us/tolerant-comrade-sanders-votes-against-christian-nominee-because-of-religion/

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ It is against the background of this history and precedent that the statement of former FBI Director James must be considered. Comey himself acknowledged that... "throughout history, some presidents have decided that because 'problems' come from Justice, they should try to hold the Department close. But blurring those boundaries ultimately makes the problems worse by undermining public trust in the institutions and their work." Comey has also acknowledged that the president had the constitutional authority to fire him for any or no cause. President Donald Trump also had the constitutional authority to order Comey to end the investigation of Flynn. He could have pardoned Flynn, as Bush pardoned Weinberger, thus ending the Flynn investigation, as Bush ended the Iran-Contra investigation. What Trump could not do is what Nixon did: direct his aides to lie to the FBI, or commit other independent crimes. There is no evidence that Trump did that... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10497/trump-comey-obstruction-justice

Who will help curb Palestinian suffering?

by Caroline B. Glick
{jewishworldreview.com} ~ The conspiracy theories which have taken control of the non-Jewish discourse on Israel have captured the American Jewish discourse as well

How can we explain the international community’s indifference to Palestinian suffering? Every day, angry bands of protesters burn the flag of Israel, call for the destruction of the Jewish state and insist that Israel and its Jewish citizens be shunned from polite society and thrown out of the global economy all in the name of opposing “the Occupation.”

Although the breathless protesters insist that all their efforts are directed toward the Palestinians, as it works out, none of their assaults on Israel have improved the Palestinians’ lot. To the contrary, their protests have given a free pass to those that do the most to harm Palestinians.

The angry, hateful protests against Israel tell us nothing about either the history of the Palestinians’ relations with the Jewish state or their present circumstances.

And what are those circumstances? Consider the stories of two different groups of Palestinian prisoners.

The first story relates to the Palestinian terrorists imprisoned in Israeli jails after being tried and convicted of engaging in terrorist attacks against Israel.

Led by terrorist mastermind Marwan Barghouti, who is serving multiple life sentences for killing multiple Israelis, in April more than a thousand jailed terrorists opened a hunger strike demanding an improvement in their prison conditions.

The New York Times published an op-ed by Barghouti and massively covered the strike. Numerous other marquee media organizations similarly provided sympathetic coverage of the event.

Hidden beneath mountains of column inches was the basic fact that the terrorists’ demands made clear that their strike was ridiculous.

They weren’t demanding food. They weren’t demanding fair trials or the right to speak to their attorneys.

They were demanding that Israel add 20 new channels to their standard, free cable television access.

They demanded that Israel let them have telephones in their rooms.

They demanded that Israel buy them air conditioning units.

In other words, they were demanding that Israel treat them better than it treats its own soldiers.

The second prisoner story is the story of the 12,000 Palestinians that have been jailed in Syrian regime prisons since the start of the Syrian civil war. These men, women and children are denied sufficient food and water. They are subjected to torture. Several cases have been reported of Palestinian female prisoners being subjected to gang rapes. More than 500 Palestinians have died in jail. More than 500 Palestinian children are behind bars.

And the plight of the Palestinians on the outside is no better.

Nearly 4,000 Palestinians have been killed by regime forces since the start of the war. Yarmouk refugee camp has been all but depopulated. Whereas before the war began in 2011, more than 120,000 Palestinians resided in the camp just 8 km. from central Damascus, today a mere 20,000 remain. Those who remain have been besieged by regime forces for nearly three years. They have been starved and parched. Running water was cut off years ago.

And yet, the only journalist who has consistently covered the story is Palestinian affairs correspondent Khaled Abu Toameh, writing for the niche website of the Gatestone Institute.

As Abu Toameh noted in a report on the Palestinians in Syria last August, the leaders of the PLO and the Palestinian Authority like their sometimes-rivals- sometimes-partners in Hamas have refused to intervene on their behalf.

To the contrary, the PLO happily reopened its embassy in Damascus last year, despite the fact that it is accredited to a regime that is slaughtering the people that the PLO claims to represent.

Abu Toameh wrote bitterly, “The Palestinians of Syria would have been more fortunate had they been living in the West Bank or Gaza Strip. Then the international community and media would certainly have noticed them. Yet when Western journalists lavish time on Palestinians delayed at Israeli checkpoints in the West Bank, and ignore barrels of explosives dropped by the Syrian military on residential areas in refugee camps in Syria, one might start to wonder what they are really about.”

This week we got reminder of what this is really about from an odd source.

During his interview with NBC’s Megyn Kelly, Russian President Vladimir Putin grew exasperated with Kelly’s repetitious line of questioning about whether or not Russia colluded to get President Donald Trump elected last November.

After repeatedly denying Kelly’s allegations, Putin insisted that the Russian-US elections narrative is simply a conspiracy theory invented by Democrats and their allies to avoid the blame for liar-Hillary Clinton’s defeat.

In Putin’s words, “It’s easy to say, ‘It’s not our fault. It’s the Russians. They intervened. They interfered.’” Putin then compared the anti-Russian conspiracy theory to antisemitism.

“It’s like antisemitism,” Putin explained. Anti-Jewish conspiracy spinners use the Jews as a means to deflect blame for their failures. In his words, “‘The Jews are to blame.’ You’re [not] an idiot. Because ‘the Jews are to blame.’” Putin’s statement is important for two reasons.

First, the former KGB chief knows a thing or two about antisemitic conspiracy theories. Russia has played an outsized role in inventing them for precisely the reason that Putin gave – blame deflection.

It was a precursor of the KGB, the czar’s secret police, that wrote the infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion which purported to expose a Jewish world conspiracy to control humanity for nefarious ends.

And in 1949, it was the KGB that created the antisemitic conspiracy that has animated and controlled Western discourse on Israel ever since. It was then that the Soviets invented the term “anti-Zionism,” and began referring to Jews as Zionists.

And this brings us to the second noteworthy aspect of Putin’s discussion of antisemitism. The KGB rebranded Jews as “Zionists” and antisemites as “anti-Zionists” to rescue antisemitism as a tool of political warfare from the ruins of Auschwitz.

Until then, it was socially unacceptable to hate Jews.

After the KGB moved to pan Zionism as a form of colonialism and imperialism, it became fashionable again.

What Putin explained in his remarks is that conspiracy theories are not accidental occurrences.

They are deliberate, premeditated acts of political warfare that serve specific political purposes for their creators.

Anti-Zionist conspiracies, like their traditional anti-Jewish antecedents are particularly attractive because Jews are such an easy target.

Their small numbers and the ease with which they can be singled out makes them natural targets of conspiracy mongers.

After all, who will stand up for Israel and the Jews? Jews, of course, have no credibility as defenders of the Jewish state, because, well, they’re Jews.

As for non-Jewish defenders of Israel – they can dismissed as hired guns or religious fanatics or discredited in any number of other ways.

Sadly, while Putin has no compunction about standing up to the anti-Russia conspiracy spinners, with each passing year, the American Jewish community has had more and more difficulty recognizing that they are the target of a conspiracy theory and acting appropriately. Rather than stand up for Israel and against its detractors, more and more American Jews have joined them.

And those who do not join them try to get out from under the conspiracy web by pretending that it is a rational argument, rather than a conspiracy.

Indeed, increasingly, American Jewish organizations make distinctions between Israel and Judea and Samaria. They don’t take their tours beyond the 1949 armistice lines. They say that boycotts of Jewish products made beyond the lines are legitimate.

They try to “dialogue” with anti-Israel activists and blackball Israeli conservatives.

And lo and behold, it doesn’t work.

It doesn’t work because it cannot work. Because the conspiracy mongers are not interested in compromising, they are interested in delegitimizing the very notion that Jews can argue with them.

The toll this has taken on the American Jewish community was clearly in evidence this week at the Israel Day Parade in New York.

15 years ago, some 100,000 area Jews marched in the parade. This year, official counts put the number of marchers at 40,000. A disproportionate number of them were Orthodox.

Fifty years after the Six Day War, Israel has become a hard subject for American Jews to discuss not because it is hard on the merits to defend, but because the conspiracy theories which have taken control of the non-Jewish discourse on Israel have captured the American Jewish discourse as well.

The most pressing duty of the American Jewish community then is to finally recognize the nature of the battle they are beset by and fight it as hard as they can.

The long-suffering Palestinians will no doubt thank them for doing so.

by Caroline B. Glick
{jewishworldreview.com} ~ The time has come, at the outset of the second 50 years of Israeli control over Judea and Samaria, for Israel to take matters into its own hands

On Thursday, US President Donald Trump bowed to the foreign policy establishment and betrayed his voters. He signed a presidential waiver postponing the transfer of the US Embassy to Jerusalem for yet another six months.

Ahead of Trump’s move, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a last-ditch bid to convince Trump to move the embassy to Jerusalem. But it was not to be.

Israel’s failure to convince Trump to do what he repeatedly promised US voters he would do during his presidential campaign shows the disparity in power between Israel and the US.

Israel lacks the power to convince foreign nations to recognize its capital – much less to locate their embassies there. The US, on the other hand, not only has the power to recognize Jerusalem and transfer its embassy to Israel’s capital whenever it wishes to do so, it also has the ability to convince dozens of other countries to immediately follow its lead.

The disparity between what the Americans can do and what Israel can do was on display on Monday evening in a glittering hall at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. There, Bar-Ilan University conferred its Guardian of Zion award on former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton. In his acceptance speech, Bolton presented his vision for the resolution of the Palestinian conflict with Israel.

Bolton’s views are important not merely because his past work at the State Department and the UN brought the US some of its only diplomatic victories in recent decades. His views are important as well because of his close relationship with Trump.

Bolton began his discussion Monday evening by rejecting the “two-state solution.” The two-state model, he noted, has been tried and has failed repeatedly for the past 70 years. There is no reason to believe that it will succeed now. This is particularly true, he said, given the lack of Palestinian social cohesion.

Hamas controls Gaza. The PLO, which is supposed to be Israel’s peace partner, barely controls parts of Judea and Samaria. At a time when more cohesive Arab societies are unraveling, the notion that a Palestinian state would survive and advance regional peace and stability is laughable, Bolton argued.

Bolton then turned to his preferred policy for resolving the Palestinian conflict with Israel, which he dubbed “the three-state solution.” Under his plan, Egypt and Jordan would work with Israel to solve the Palestinian conflict. Egypt would take over the Gaza Strip and Jordan would negotiate the status of Judea and Samaria with Israel.

The crowd at the King David responded enthusiastically to Bolton’s proposal. This is not surprising.

Since 1967, Israelis have hoped for Jordan and Egypt to work with them to solve the problem of the Arabs of Judea, Samaria and Gaza who lived under Jordanian and Egyptian occupation from 1949-1967.

Unfortunately, Israel’s support for Bolton’s plan is irrelevant. Israel is powerless to advance it. Israel cannot convince Arab nations to help it resolve the Palestinian conflict any more than it can convince the PLO to cut a peace deal with it.

Like PLO leaders, the leaders of the Arab world know that they cannot help Israel with the Palestinians.

Doing so would involve disowning the Palestinian narrative.

The Palestinian narrative claims that the Jews of Israel are colonialist interlopers who stole the land from the Palestinians, its rightful owners. The narrative makes no distinction between Tel Aviv and Hebron. All of Israel is a crime against the Arab world. All of Israel is illegitimate.

The overwhelming majority of the Arab world believes the Palestinian narrative. For an Arab leader to walk away from it or even to signal an attenuation of his fealty to it in the interest of regional peace would be the riskiest of moves.

Israel has nothing to offer Arab leaders that could induce them to take that risk.

Although it is far from certain, the US may very well have the ability to convince Arab leaders to do so. If Trump decided that this is the way to advance peace in the Arab world, chances are he would make some headway. In other words, Bolton’s three-state plan is a plan that only America can adopt. It cannot be an Israeli plan no matter how enthusiastically the public supports involving Jordan and Egypt in solving the conflict.

Given Israel’s inability to offer the Arabs anything valuable enough for Arab leaders to risk life and limb to accept in exchange for helping to solve the Palestinian conflict, as Israel considers its own options in relation to the Palestinians, it needs to limit its goals to things that it can achieve without them. In other words, the only steps that Israel can take in relation to the Palestinians are unilateral steps.

For the past 50 years, hoping that the Arabs – and since 1993, the PLO – would finally make peace with it and so settle the permanent status of Judea and Samaria, Israel refused to take any unilateral actions in relation to its permanent interests in Judea and Samaria. Rather than apply its legal code to Judea and Samaria, it opted for the stop-gap measure of installing a military government to run the areas on the basis of Jordanian law.

Between 1994 and 1996, Israel canceled the military government in the Palestinian population centers in Judea and Samaria and Gaza. In 2005, when it withdrew, it canceled the residual military government in the rest of Gaza. Since then, the only area that remains under the Israeli military government is Area C in Judea and Samaria. Area C includes all of the Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria, and strategically critical areas including the Jordan Valley, the Samaria mountain range and the south Hebron Hills.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Netanyahu gave an interview with Army Radio where he set out part of his vision for the permanent status of Judea and Samaria. He limited his statement to the military status of the areas. He said that under any possible future scenario, Israel must retain full security control of the areas. This, he said, is the lesson of Israel’s 2005 withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

That pullout led to the transformation of Gaza into a Hamas-controlled hub of global jihad. Moreover, under Hamas, the Palestinians turned Gaza into one big, densely populated missile-launching pad against Israel.

While justified, Netanyahu’s position obscures more than it illuminates about his long-term vision for Judea and Samaria.

What does he mean by security control? Would the IDF remain in sole control over Israel’s eastern boundaries or would it serve as an overall coordinator of foreign forces operating along the border? Would IDF forces be confined to fortified positions while the Palestinians reign free in the open areas, as was the case in southern Lebanon in the years leading up to Israel’s disastrous withdrawal in 2000? Or would the IDF have freedom of action and maintain the initiative throughout Judea and Samaria? Moreover, does Netanyahu envision the IDF remaining the only military organization operating in Judea and Samaria in the long term? Beyond the security issues that require clarification, Netanyahu’s statements make no mention of the rights of Jews to live in Judea and Samaria.

Does he believe that Jews should be permitted to live permanently in the areas that Israel controls? If so, why are they subjected to the Jordanian legal code used by the military government and which proscribes their right to purchase land and register land sales? This brings us to the issue of governance. What does Netanyahu think about the military government in Area C? Does he believe that the 50-year reign of generals should continue until the Arabs choose to resolve the Palestinian conflict with Israel? What if this means that the generals will continue to rule over hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens for another 50 or 100 or 150 years? Does he, on the other hand, prefer to transfer governance responsibility in Area C to the Palestinians and place the nearly 500,000 Israelis in the area under Palestinian control? In the course of his remarks, Bolton noted that if Jordan is responsible for the Palestinians of Judea and Samaria, the issue of Jerusalem will be removed from the equation. After all, if their capital is Amman, Israel has no reason to divide its capital city.

And this brings us back to Jerusalem, which Trump spurned on Thursday.

As is the case today, 50 years ago, Israel had no power to influence the positions of foreign governments regarding its capital city. But in contrast to its decision to establish a military government in Judea and Samaria, Israel didn’t wait for foreigners to give it permission to act where it had the power to act in order to change the status of the city and ensure its ability to govern and control its capital for generations to come.

In 1967, the government voted to expand the municipal boundaries of Jerusalem to include the eastern, northern and southern quarters that had been under Jordanian occupation since 1949.

Everyone benefited from the move – including the foreign powers that still refuse to recognize the simple fact that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital.

Washington and the rest of the governments of the world know that their refusal to recognize Israel’s capital does not endanger Israel or its control of Jerusalem. They are free to bow to Arab pressure, safe in the knowledge that Israel will continue to protect the unified city.

Trump’s decision to sign the waiver delaying the embassy move is a betrayal of his campaign promise, but it doesn’t change the situation in Jerusalem. Last week, Israel celebrated 50 years of sovereignty over its united capital. Jerusalem will be neither more nor less united if and when the US moves its embassy to the capital.

Perhaps Trump will eventually keep his word and move the embassy. Perhaps he will continue to breach his promise. And as far as the Palestinians are concerned, perhaps Trump adopts Bolton’s three-state plan in relation to Judea, Samaria and Gaza. Perhaps he will maintain his predecessors’ slavish devotion to the establishment of a PLO state.

Israel can’t control what Trump will do any more than it can influence what the Arabs will do. And so it needs to take a lesson not only from its bitter experience of withdrawing from Gaza, but from its positive experience of taking matters into its own hands in Jerusalem.

The time has come, at the outset of the second 50 years of Israeli control over Judea and Samaria, for Israel to take matters into its own hands. Our leaders must stop beating around the bush. They need to use the powers they have to secure Israel’s military and civilian interests in Judea and Samaria for the next 50 years as best they can. And they need to stop waiting for someone else to solve our problems for us.

Paris Climate Accord Pollaganda

NirV4TbCiU9gL39b7v7mFpMc0qNLcuqSA_JbKv8jDrUoD8IBL5upCkPAkhsUyFJIxwRhXoN85F0l5tY6xC0DYahyCiL3GvSnfnPotoqLrsGkV-rNvIMAEdzNxUmoujk=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=

Plastered among this week’s headlines (some even sporting the “Breaking News” banner) are the findings of a new poll on public opinion regarding Donald Trump’s decision to say au revoir to the Paris climate accord. A Washington Post headline emphatically declared, “Post-ABC poll: Nearly 6 in 10 oppose Trump scrapping Paris agreement.”

According to the survey, 59% of Americans overall disagree with Trump’s decision. In contrast, a paltry 28% support it. Unsurprisingly, the majority of that support comes from Republicans, 67% of whom condone Trump’s move. Also unsurprisingly, 82% of Democrats and 63% of Independents believe the exit was wrongheaded (if not flat out apocalyptic). However, Democrats — besides having lost the climate accord battle — don’t necessarily have a lot to celebrate in this poll, for two reasons.

First, there’s a major caveat in these numbers that reflects the Democrats' worst bane: Their failure to garner overwhelming support for their statist policy prescriptions. The fact that just 59% of Americans supposedly oppose Trump’s move actually represents a remarkable failure on the Left’s part. Why? For 30 years climate alarmists have been lecturing, pleading with and vilifying climate skeptics. And 59% support is the best they can muster?

Of course, that’s assuming the poll is even accurate (a dubious proposition), which brings us to the second point. We define Pollaganda as “polling used to manipulate public opinion and advance a particular bias,” or “instruments designed to generate a preferential outcome.” In the minds of leftists, the Post-ABC poll shows just how “out of touch” Trump is with the majority of America. But polls — particularly Leftmedia ones — prove nothing because they are manipulated from the start.

The next time the Post uses damning surveys to belittle Trump’s policy decisions, just remember this: Those same surveys unanimously, prematurely and wrongly predicted a blowout victory for liar-Hillary Clinton. Moreover, remember that the Paris exit is good for America (and, more importantly, the Constitution) regardless of opinions so-called experts try to extract from polls. ~The Patriot Post

by ROBERT SPENCER
{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ Rep. Andre Carson "said he believes the billboard is untrue and that the billboard's author takes Islamic text and history out of context ‘just like al-Qaeda, ISIS and the Klan do to religious texts to justify their bigotry.'"... "Untrue" is not the same thing as "out of context," and of course the latter is the tried-and-true dodge of Islamic supremacists when presented with uncomfortable passages of the Qur'an and Sunnah. Notice also Carson's invocation of "al-Qaeda, ISIS and the Klan." Two are international jihad terror organizations that have mounted murderous jihad attacks all over the world and continue to be global threats. The other is a tiny organization of nuts that would get no notice at all were it not for its usefulness to the Leftist establishment. Carson is trying to give the impression that, as we hear so often, every religion has its "extremists," and so Islamic jihad terrorism really isn't all that unusual. "Faryal Khatri, a spokeswoman for the Indianapolis-based Islamic Society of North America, said not only is the billboard not true, it is hurtful to her as a practicing Muslim. To Khatri, the most disappointing aspect of the sign is that it could incite hate crimes toward Muslims or people perceived to be Muslim."...The billboard is true and correct.

YouTube Banned Me, But Not the Hate Imams

by Michelle Malkin

{truthrevolt.org} ~ One of the many maddening takeaways from the London Bridge jihad attack is this: If you post videos on YouTube radicalizing Muslim viewers to kill innocent people, YouTube will leave you alone.

But if you post a video on YouTube honoring innocent people murdered by barbaric jihadists, your video will get banned.

I know. It happened to me in 2006. Eleven years later, the selective censors at Google-YouTube still can't competently distinguish terrorist hate speech from political free speech. Islamic hate preachers such as Ahmad Musa Jibril, whose bloodthirsty rants against non-Muslims reportedly inspired the London Bridge ringleader, have flourished.

Meanwhile, other anti-jihad and conservative content creators have been throttled, flagged, demonetized and kicked off the site since the P.C. hammer first came down on me.

My two-minute clip, which I titled "First, They Came," spotlighted authors, editors, politicians, and other targets of Islamic intolerance and violence. Among those featured in the video on radical Islam's war on Western free speech: Theo van Gogh, the Dutch filmmaker murdered by jihadist Mohammed Bouyeri for his outspoken criticism of Muslim misogyny; Salman Rushdie, whom the Ayatollah Khomeini cast a fatwa upon after he published the "blasphemous" "The Satanic Verses"; Oriana Fallaci, the fiery journalist put on trial in Italy for "defaming Islam;" and the editors of the Danish Jyllands-Posten newspaper, who faced death threats for publishing cartoons of Mohammed, which prompted violent riots and terror plots around the world.

I contrasted the plight of those killed with the hordes of Muslim protesters in London's safe spaces fearlessly waving their signs demanding that the faithful "Behead all those who insult Islam" and "Exterminate those who slander Islam."

Several months later, YouTube yanked the innocuous, harmless, nonviolent, nonprofane, nonhateful, and nonthreatening mini-film. The company informed me that the video contained "inappropriate content." I complained across social media — posting additional YouTube videos calling attention to the ban. But "First, They Came" stayed deep-sixed on my YouTube channel. Other bloggers and video consumers tried to subvert the censors by posting the clip on their sites; it became a game of whack-a-mole as the YouTube police hunted it down.

Counterjihad activists nicknamed YouTube "JihadTube" or "Dhimmitube" to mock the censors' acquiescence to Islamist restrictions on acceptable speech by infidels — as Islamic radicalization videos festered on the site.

Three pieces in The New York Times covered my skirmish over the little video. Reporter Tom Zeller Jr. reported that YouTube had emailed him a statement suggesting that my video "violated the company's terms of service." YouTube also told the newspaper, "Our customer support team reviews all flagged videos before removing them."

The statement "specifically referred to the part of the YouTube user agreement that forbids users from submitting material that is 'unlawful, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, pornographic, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, violate any law, or is otherwise inappropriate.'"

George Washington University law professor Jeffrey Rosen wrote in a New York Times magazine article on "Google's Gatekeepers" that he "watched the 'First, They Came' video, which struck me as powerful political commentary that contains neither hate speech nor graphic violence, and I asked why it was taken down. According to a YouTube spokesman, the takedown was a routine one that hadn't been reviewed by higher-ups."

Only after receiving fair exposure in The New York Times (my, how times and the Times have changed) did the video magically reappear on my channel.

Now, contrast Google/YouTube's ridiculous stifling of "First, They Came" with its hands-off treatment of murder-inciting videos of hate imams Ahmad Musa Jibril and Abu Haleema.

Their rancid rants encouraging jihad by the sword and murder of non-Muslims have racked up millions of views over the past five years. Millions. Counterterrorism officials in multiple countries have tied their social media poison to jihad plots. The company told Conservative Review's Jordan Schachtel that it had reviewed the hate imams' channels and "found that they do not violate YouTube's guidelines on extremist or hateful content."

The enlightened peace-and-love progressives of Silicon Valley don't just have egg on their faces. They have blood on their hands.

Visa Overstays Are a Growing Problem

8EVhecMQ8GohCLoS88B28Vtttot0jA9aoDsfuWcjI7qAWKb3p2HaZtokLzz6myvai3l4IcaW05JpUVjOvT4MsenUdY61JUYyqMykgsCSdjR_YNM-fn_n_hkbxl94Ig=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=

While building a wall along the U.S. southern border, as well as hiring more Border Patrol agents, would help significantly in solving the problem of illegal immigration, another often less focused aspect of the problem has seen an increase. The Department of Homeland Security recently released its "Entry/Exit Overstay Report," which estimates that as much as 40% of all illegal immigration is due to overstayed visas. This isn't a new problem.

In fiscal year 2016, some 628,799 individuals overstayed their visas. Of that total, 544,676 are believed to still be in the country. These are individuals who lawfully entered the U.S. but remained beyond their allotted time and for whom no record of departure exists. Unfortunately, the percentage of overstays has seen recent increases — in 2015, it was 0.9%; in 2016, it increased to 1.07%. The greatest offenders tend to be students and exchange visitors whose visa overstays are 5.48%.

Homeland Security has been heavily invested in developing better biometric and biographic technology screening for those seeking entry, while focusing on tracking down visa overstay offenders has been less of a priority. Clearly, more Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are needed to track down these growing numbers of visa overstays.

While most illegal aliens do not engage in violent criminal behavior, it's a good reminder to note that two of the 9/11 hijacker terrorists overstayed visas. And while visitors to the U.S. are very much welcome, the laws are designed to protect citizen and visitor alike from those who would seek to exploit our nation's good will for their own nefarious purposes. ~The Patriot Post

{rickwells.us} ~ CNN propagandist Wolf Blitzer provided California Democrat Rep Adam “Shifty” Schiff with the customary leftist sounding board and platform from which to attack President Trump or speak in service to the siege in general... In his Wednesday comments Schiff spoke regarding the text of Comey’s testimony provided in advance of his appearance before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday. It’s an appearance which will require Comey, in order to preclude himself from self-incrimination, to support the statements of President Trump. The Democrats, including Schiff, are obviously disappointed. Blitzer starts things off by asking, “Were you surprised to read in Comey’s testimony that he did, in fact, tell the President on three separate occasions that the President was not under investigation?” Perhaps Schiff and Blitzer are still accustomed to every word coming from the White House occupant being a lie, having refused to accept that Donald Trump is now the President and that the imposter squatting there before is really gone. Returning to the “good old days” of a pathological, lying criminal in the White House is, after all, the reason they’re engaged in this whole Russia hoax to begin with, supporting the narrative of liar-Hillary Clinton... http://rickwells.us/schiff-comey-exceeding-authority-ok-clinton-not-trump/

{rickwells.us} ~ In February Secretary of Defense James Mattis labeled Iran the world’s “biggest state sponsor of terrorism.” His comments came a day after President Trump imposed new sanctions against Iran... in response to a ballistic missile test. Mattis added, “We have seen their, Iran’s misconduct, their misbehavior, from Lebanon and Syria to Bahrain and to Yemen and it’s got to be addressed at some point.” We all remember the terrorist hijacking of US Navy patrol boats as Hussein liar-nObama was preparing to make his final State of the Union speech last year, touting their negotiated release as “assistance” due to the liar-nObama regime’s diplomatic prowess. But they are usually less obvious in their actions. Beyond carrying out direct attacks, Iran has regularly committed terrorism by proxy through Hezbollah, who committed the June 25th, 1996 attack that killed 19 Americans in the Khobar Towers, Hamas, the Taliban, militias in Iraq, and a variety of other terrorist groups. President Trump responded to the attacks in a statement saying, “We grieve and pray for the innocent victims of the terrorist attacks in Iran, and for the Iranian people, who are going through such challenging times. We underscore that states that sponsor terrorism risk falling victim to the evil they promote.”...http://rickwells.us/iran-blames-trump-saudis-isis-terrorist-attack-iranian-parliament-shrine/

{washingtontimes.com} ~ Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly sounded a loud alarm Tuesday over an “unprecedented spike in terrorist travel” including to the U.S., moving to shore up the defense of the administration’s travel ban... one day after President Trump’s tweets seemed to undercut his case before the Supreme Court. The threat from terrorist “foot soldiers” is as great as ever, he said, and they are returning from training in Iraq and Syria home to Europe with orders to attack. Mr. Kelly said he expects some will try to reach the U.S. — but his hands have been tied by the federal courts... http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jun/6/john-kelly-terrorist-travel-threat-backs-up-trump-/

Are Anti-Trump Leftists Also Anti-American?

4m1JLy9KMO6mPcNhbB3aKfowdi2_h8xPdUdc9-Rj4chJvDtMyfhxi51xC41hyp-sb3vZ6UvRcDTTTGAJ3kzNqycizuvdKeDr6CVqFfFIyrzGp5av-K_Y5_hfgoPTmQ3zQZg8iLiPnu98M3yucHwSwLEe=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=

by Susan Stamper Brown
{townhall.com} ~ In 1997, Osama bin Laden said on CNN, “We declared jihad against America because America is unjust, criminal and tyrannical.”

Bin Laden’s sentiment for America differs little, if any, from how leftists feel about America today. Maybe that’s why a leader like Donald Trump who vowed to “Make America Great Again” is met with great resistance.

Consequently, we’ve seen a disturbing alliance between the American left and the Muslim right (extreme). On Fox News, Muslim Reform Movement co-founder Asra Nomani raised deep concerns about the Democratic Party joining arms with pro-Sharia advocate Linda Sarsour to coordinate anti-Trump marches.

Nomani said, “The American left and its rabid hate for Donald Trump has just aligned themselves with somebody who is very counter to cohesion in America.”

Nomani’s statement begs the question: Are leftists more comfortable with Sharia law than American values and the United States Constitution?

Nomani’s explanation may also shed light on why comedian Kathy Griffin thought it was okay to channel the veritable evil of our day, the Islamic State, when she paraded around a fake, bloody and decapitated Donald Trump head.

Maybe that is why leftist judges felt free to block constitutional travel bans created to prevent what’s happening in Europe to happen here.

This could also explain why leftists in the media diverted attention away from the June 3 London attack by trashing Trump.

After the attack, Trump tweeted an appropriate message that America needs to get tougher on terrorism.

In short order, a savory CNN host named Reza Aslan, who once participated in cannibalism by eating human brain (not joking), called Trump “a piece of s**t” and an “embarrassment to America and a stain on the presidency.”

Trump also tweeted: “We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people. If we don’t get smart it will only get worse.”

In response, MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts said this: “The president doesn’t want us to be politically correct, right? So, let’s not be PC about this. Is the president trying to provoke a domestic terrorist attack with this twitter rant to prove himself, right?”

If Roberts really wanted to discuss presidents provoking terrorist attacks, he should have looked no further than former President liar-nObama who not only provoked terror, he financed it, when he gave $150 billion to the mother of all terrorist states, Iran.

If Roberts really cared about what might cause domestic terrorist attacks, he’d recall the liar-nObama administration kept its head in the sand when it came to potential terrorists. The liar-nObama administration ignored communications exposing that both the Fort Hood shooter and the Boston Marathon bombers were radicalized human time bombs. Of course, liar-nObama’s Department of Homeland Security made it their mission to remove references to the Muslim Brotherhood and radical Islam but had no problem calling pro-life advocates and military veterans potential terrorists.

Also consider how often leftists dance around motives or change the subject after terror attacks, even if terrorists shout their intentions for all to hear. In typical fashion, after the San Bernardino terrorist attack, President liar-nObama “consoled” Americans by raking them over the coals for their own lack of tolerance. Following the Orlando Pulse nightclub massacre which was the deadliest attack on American soil post-9/11, leftists did their best to turn Omar Mateen into a self-hating homosexual although he pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. The FBI also confirmed Mateen was radicalized and under investigation.

On June 4, Trump vowed he would do whatever is necessary to protect Americans from a “vile enemy,” reiterating, “This bloodshed must end, this bloodshed will end.” Trump promised he would do whatever it takes “to prevent this threat from spreading to our shores and work every day to protect the safety and security to our country, our communities and our people.”

Meanwhile, leftists are resisting Trump at every turn. If we are attacked, those blocking his efforts should be held accountable.

Russia Goes Public on liar-nObama’s “Secrets” that “Happened During liar-nObama’s Terms”

Politics Is Contentious Because So Much Is as Stake

OmICet14OvrQFvLSZaMZ8udCIxhx4ilppKw5ZQdHQbEQF2iZV1dfeUCSQSlHfdFALQOkCqfWb2pAmY_KVMA57B6r71UW8OTG47SycHrKaNrNT8xfsV6r461Rlsk1HgQ=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=

By Todd Johnson: While much of the American media will be focused on James Comey’s testimony this Thursday or pursuing other ancillary stories pertaining to Donald Trump’s presidency, they’re missing a much larger development that will have a significant impact on national politics. It’s no secret the media is engaged in a war of words with Trump and his surrogates. But they have been so focused on the foibles emanating from the White House that they have completely ignored the Democrat Party’s failure to develop a coherent policy message or a plan that addresses any of the challenges facing the country.

Following liar-Hillary Clinton’s dramatic loss last November, the Democrat Party was in a state of shock and disbelief. Much like the stages of grief, Democrats wrestled with the feelings of anger and depression following the election. However, since Trump became the president in January, Democrats have made a conscious decision to ignore the last stage of grief, acceptance. Instead, they are morphing into a vapid and recalcitrant mob more fixated on creating dissension at the national level and waging a war against any decision made by the current administration. They call it the Resistance™.

This type of political polarization is not only dangerous for the two-party system but a critical symptom of a disease that has metastasized over the last 50 years — the ever-growing power of the national government.

One of the main reasons for intense national power struggles is because of the amount of influence that resides in the nation’s capital. In his insightful analysis last fall, our own John Bastiat argued, “Decisions that used to be made by individual states or local governments are now decided somewhere in Washington, DC, often by a single branch, or even worse — and more often the case — an unaccountable sub-entity within that branch. As a result, elections nowadays are

‘for all the marbles.’”
The solution to this vexing problem is to redistribute power amongst the three branches of government and back to the states. Sadly, this scenario won’t likely be happening anytime soon. This situation is one of the main reasons why the Democrat Party focuses so much time and energy on devoting assets to national races and eschewing races at the state and local levels.

A look at the 2016 Democrat Party platform shows a leftist platform focused on usurping control from the lowest levels of government and bringing all decision-making to the national level. The Democrat Party has been in a tailspin for the last eight years, as evidenced by their loss of 12 governorships and numerous state houses. This dynamic doesn’t look like it will be changing anytime soon, as Republican candidates have won the last two special House elections and the mayor’s race in Omaha, Nebraska. In many ways, Democrats have zeroed in on the White House at the expense of building from the ground up.

It’s ironic that the Democrat Party touts itself as being an inclusive entity, yet it has no problem shunning anyone who doesn’t march in lockstep with its progressive and far-left agenda. That’s why Democrats have difficulties finding quality candidates to run for office. It’s also a reason why their main power bases are relegated to the Northeast and Pacific regions of the country. However, this dynamic can change rapidly if the Republican Party fails to follow through on its promises from the last election cycle.

If the Grand Old Party wants to continue holding majorities in the House and Senate, Republicans must find creative ways to enact changes to the personal and business tax codes, pass an infrastructure bill, replace the Affordable Care Act, and most importantly, avoid any legislation that takes power away from the state and local levels.

While many Republicans had high hopes for President Trump, it’s apparent he has little appetite for leading the Party, and if he continues his self-destructive behavior, he will soon find his administration in no position to develop or execute policy. Therefore, it will be incumbent upon the GOP leadership to lead in a manner that reflects the values of the membership and act in the best interests of all Americans. Anything short of that will be political malpractice because, after all, a lot of marbles are at stake. ~The Patriot Post

{pjmedia.com} ~ At this time 50 years ago, Israel was fighting the Six Day War and conquering territories. Since then it has returned the Sinai to Egypt, withdrawn from Gaza, retained control of the Golan Heights... and created a self-governing Palestinian entity in part of the West Bank while retaining overall security control there. This 50-year anniversary has seen a flood of statements lauding or lamenting the Six Day War and its outcomes for Israel. Statements of the former kind emphasize that the war gave Israel defensible borders, a close alliance with the United States by showing that Israel was a regional power, and, eventually, peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan. Statements of the latter kind bemoan Israel’s “occupation” of the Palestinians and describe it as a disaster that has to end -- fast. And UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres offers some of the most egregious remarks in this vein...Guterres doesn't know the truth. And never will. https://pjmedia.com/homeland-security/2017/06/07/un-secretary-general-launches-slanderous-attack-on-israel/

Russia Goes Public on liar-nObama’s “Secrets” that “Happened During liar-nObama’s Terms”

by amorgan
{consjournal.com} ~ Well, well, well. It seems Moscow’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova gave a rather long winded answer when asked about the current state of U.S.-Russia relations.

And you haven’t heard about it, because it contains information about “secrets” the liar-nObama administration had asked the Russian government to keep private, and the liberal mainstream media conveniently kept quiet about it. See her bombshell of a statement for yourself and – SPOILER ALERT! – pay extra attention to the second to last paragraph:

Question: “How do you see the future of Russian-US diplomatic relations in the context of the current atmosphere in Washington? Can you confirm that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will come to Moscow in April?”

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Maria Zakharova (Moscow): “Apparently, many volumes have been written about the development of Russian-US relations. I announced the release of the Foreign Ministry’s yearend Diplomatic Bulletin and even showed it at the previous briefing. I believe that about 20 per cent of that bulletin was devoted to Russian-US relations, the way we see them, how we want them to develop, what we expect from Washington, what we are willing to do with the United States, the priority areas of cooperation, areas where our cooperation should be revived without delay and the areas where this can wait, at least for a limited time. This issue has been covered in interviews by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, comments by Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov and in numerous statements made at all levels by representatives from various Russian agencies, political analysts and politicians, as well as officials from the legislative and executive authorities. We can talk about bilateral relations with a different degree of mastery, but we would like to start implementing our relationship at long last.

We provided our views on bilateral relations and the reasons for blocking them under President liar-nObama. We said that we were willing to work with the new US administration, under President Trump. I don’t think we need to invent anything in this respect, because so much has been said before. Simply, we should start concrete practical work. We are ready for this.

You know that we always invite our American colleagues and diplomats to join bilateral or multilateral dialogues on issues in which the United States has traditionally played a big and active role, such as Syria, the consultations in Astana and many others. We expect Washington to formulate its foreign policy approaches in the form of a concept. We are ready for pragmatic and specific work on the principles that we have described many times.

As for the visit by US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and the information about it, this is what I can say. It’s not a secret that preparations for any visit include the coordination of the time when it can be announced. Visits by foreign ministers are public events that are never kept secret. At least, I don’t know about any secret visits by foreign ministers in Russia or the United States. Preparations for such a visit also include the coordination of the format, agenda and the date it can be announced to the public. It is a matter of propriety and respect for each other’s interests. One side proposes a date, and the other side is expected to accept it. This date should be acceptable to both sides, because the foreign ministers have packed schedules. The issue also concerns the coordination of the agenda by experts. One side informs the other side of the issues it plans to discuss, and the other side needs to respond that the agenda is acceptable. In other words, the sides need to reach agreements on many issues, after which they can announce an upcoming visit. This is how we work with our colleagues.

To tell the truth, over the past few years we’ve seen many strange things happen in Washington in connection with preparations for visits or talks by our foreign ministers. The US Department of State has more than once asked us not to announce planned visits until the last minute. This is not our tradition. We have been operating openly for years, but we have respected the requests we have received from our colleagues in Washington in the past few years. But what happened after that? First, the US Department of State asked us to keep the planned visit quiet and not to announce it until the last possible minute, until we coordinated the date. We did as they asked. But a day or two later the information was leaked by the US State Department and sometimes by the US administration. Frankly, this put Russia and the media in a strange situation, because they didn’t know who to believe – the official agencies or the many leaks.

It is difficult to say if this diplomatic communication is a US tradition or the latest technique. But it definitely doesn’t correspond to our traditions. We believe that everything we coordinate should be made available to the media in accordance with diplomatic procedure. When we coordinate a visit and the date for announcing it, the information should be made public calmly and as agreed. This is what we do in relations with our colleagues from other countries.

As I said, such cases in our relations with the US Department of State have become a bad tradition over the past few years. So, I can say in response to your question that we will make the date and format of contacts between the Russian and US foreign ministers public after we coordinate them. We won’t keep them quiet. At this point, I don’t have any information I can share with you. I can say that this visit and such contacts are possible in principle, but it would be premature to talk about timeframes.

Also, I would like to say that if the practice of leaking information that concerns not just the United States but also Russia, which has become a tradition in Washington in the past few years, continues, there will come a day when the media will publish leaks about the things that Washington asked us to keep secret, for example, things that happened during President liar-nObama’s terms in office. Believe me, this could be very interesting information.

Our American colleagues must decide if they respect the diplomatic procedure, if they keep their word on the arrangements made between us, primarily arrangements made at their own request, or we create a few very nice surprises for each other.”

And there you have it. However, this long-winded answer now raises a very important question: If liar-nObama loyalists continue to leak intel, when will the Russian’s turn this threat into a promise and start leaking some intel of their own? Fasten your seatbelts, folks. This could get interesting.

Anti-Trumper Arrested for Leaking Top-Secret Info

A 25-year-old government contractor, Reality Leigh Winner (yes, that’s her name, in reality), has been arrested and charged by the Justice Department for illegally handling and leaking top secret national security information. This past February, Winner took her top secret job with defense contractor Pluribus International working at Fort Gordon in Augusta, Georgia. She is alleged to have copied a classified top secret document from the National Security Agency on May 9th and sent it to The Intercept, which subsequently published the report. The document revealed that Russia had made attempts at hacking U.S. voting systems prior to the election.

The DOJ stated, “Winner admitted intentionally identifying and printing the classified intelligence reporting at issue despite not having a ‘need to know,’ and with knowledge that the intelligence reporting was classified. Winner further admitted removing the classified intelligence reporting from her office space, retaining it, and mailing it from Augusta, Georgia, to the news outlet, which she knew was not authorized to receive or possess the documents.”

That’s not all. Winner’s Facebook and Twitter accounts reveal her to be a fairly rabid leftist. “The most dangerous entry to this country was the orange fascist we let into the white house,” she tweeted. She’s a Bernie Sanders supporter and is strongly opinionated on leftist hot-button issues. Other social media posts include statements like “CLIMATE CHANGE is the biggest threat facing us all,” and that anger over flag burning was “white privilege at its finest.” It’s pretty clear that Winner was motivated by her anti-Trump sentiments to attempt to further the Resistance™ cause by leaking this top secret information. If convicted, she faces up to 10 years in prison. So in reality, she’s not a winner. ~The Patriot Post

In one of the more unbelievably criminal acts of his "scandal-free" regime... liar-nObama's DOJ bosses blackmailed corporate targeting into paying out money not to the victims, but to their left-wing non-profit allies. In short, liar-nObama robbed victims to fund left-wing hate groups like La Raza. It was a monstrous crime that should have led to legal consequences. But at least the practice is being shut down.

Trump left the door open for a Jerusalem embassy

RFQXYiThFqWXMSVEOfseK5NYgcMHj8Omn3jCQlBAjE_GJ4lYv25PKpTbEwxLjV-Mt5FCANepnnxUygl-2UbvJCqMsq_o3cf5mOgzAtGc30GlQIc26dU5Ef0JpS8dYxUm7KuU=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Donald Trump's presidency so far has followed a pattern of disruption. He snubs European allies. He tweets in atrocious grammar. He pulls out of international agreements. He shakes things up.

But in one important respect, Trump's presidency appears entirely conventional. That is in the Middle East.

Like his recent predecessors, he promised during the presidential campaign to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. And like his predecessors, he violated that promise now that he is in office.

So why did Trump do it? "To maximize the chances of successfully negotiating a deal between Israel and the Palestinians," according to a White House statement issued Thursday on his decision to sign a waiver of the Jerusalem Embassy Act, that would have set in motion the process for the U.S. moving its embassy to Israel's capital.

It doesn't get much more conventional than that. What modern president hasn't tried to maximize the chances of that ever-elusive peace deal?

It would be easy to end the story there. But in this case, Trump has left open the possibility that he will eventually keep his campaign promise: "As he has repeatedly stated his intention to move the embassy, the question is not if that move happens, but only when," the White House statement also said.

With Trump, it's never clear what promises, if any, he intends to keep. This is the same guy who campaigned on resetting ties with Russia, only to reach out to Russia's traditional rival, China, in his first weeks in office. During the transition he signaled he might recognize the sovereignty of Taiwan. Then, of course, he backtracked on that as well.

White House officials tell me that Trump, for now, believes he can use the embassy issue as leverage. Normally this would mean holding out the prospect of moving the embassy as a carrot to the Israelis in exchange for concessions on settlements.

In this case, however, it's a little different: Trump is using the prospect of an embassy move as a stick with Israel's Arab neighbors. It has been reported that Jordan's King Abdullah, whose country enjoys a peace treaty with Israel, warned Trump that an embassy move would mean riots. This is a familiar refrain for anyone who has followed this issue. The vaunted Arab Street will rise up if America deigns to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Let's leave aside for a moment that this provides a heckler's veto on U.S. policy toward the world's only Jewish state. In another sense, it means that Trump is calling a longstanding bluff. If U.S. recognition is so bad for you, then help me help you avoid that, for the time being.

One White House official told me Trump is eyeing current discussions between Israel, Jordan and Egypt in this respect. This would allow Israel to sell natural gas to its neighbors, and pave the way for more agreements to allow Jordanian and Egyptian nationals to work in Israel as well as deals to share water resources.

Most important, though, Trump is banking on Jordan and Egypt to pressure the Palestinians in the peace negotiations his advisers would like to see restarted. So far, there are signs that a new peace process is in the works. The Palestinians are said, for example, to have dropped their preconditions for negotiations with Israel.

Under President Barack liar-nObama, the Palestinians demanded at first a settlement freeze and then later the return of Palestinian prisoners -- some of whom had killed U.S. citizens.

All of that said, there are many obstacles at the moment for getting peace talks going. To start, the current Israeli government is comprised of political parties that range from skeptical to hostile on the idea of land for peace. Even if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wanted a final status solution to the conflict, it's unlikely his government could deliver it.

Then there is Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority. He hasn't stood for an election since 2005. His political party was ousted from Gaza a decade ago. And he has yet to make any concession on Trump's request to end incitement to violence against Jews, to say nothing of the authority's program to pay off the families of suicide bombers and other terrorists.

This is why most Middle East experts say the time isn't right to push for a final deal that would create a Palestinian state out of the territory Israel won in the 1967 war. Those same experts would caution Trump against moving the embassy or otherwise signaling U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Given Trump's defiance of the experts on the peace process, it's entirely plausible that sometime in the future he will also defy them on Jerusalem. You could say it would follow a pattern.

Honoring the Heroes of D-Day

Today is the anniversary of D-Day. On this day in 1944, Supreme Allied Commander General Dwight Eisenhower issued this charge: “You are about to embark upon a great crusade. … The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of Liberty loving people everywhere march with you. … You will bring about … the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe. … Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened, he will fight savagely. … And let us all beseech the blessings of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.”

More than 160,000 troops landed on a 50-mile stretch of heavily fortified beaches along the Normandy coast of France in what was the largest invasion force in history, involving more than 5,000 ships and 13,000 aircraft. Some 9,000 Allied soldiers were killed or wounded that day. We owe these Patriots and generations of others an enormous debt of gratitude, and we owe them our steadfast devotion to Liberty over tyranny in our own day, so that the gift of Liberty may be extended to the next generation.

{rickwells.us} ~ Lou Dobbs has a few thoughts “on what passes for leadership in Congress these days.” He notes, “President Trump today met with Republican leaders, looking to spur them on to act on his agenda... including health care, tax reform and the budget. But time is running critically short for Congress.” Dobbs points out, “After today they’ll be in session for just thirty days before going on a five week August Recess. Majority Leader McConnell today promised a Senate health care vote in ‘the near future.’ That’s as specific as he’s willing to be.” “The House passed its health care bill just over four weeks ago, but only after Speaker Ryan failed to secure the votes back in March. As for tax reform, Ryan is intent on pushing his own agenda, insisting on a border adjustment tax in any so-called tax reform. The border adjustment tax is fully opposed by the Trump White House.”...http://rickwells.us/dobbs-gop-congress-wasting-time-needed-advance-trump-agenda/

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the assaults — a highly unusual direct confrontation with the Iranian regime, focused on resonant symbols of its authority. Citing unconfirmed reports, the Mehr news agency said seven people were killed in parliament and four were being held hostage. One security guard was confirmed killed during an exchange of gunfire in a corridor of the parliament, and several people were injured.

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ If Robert Mueller concludes, after a $100 million investigation into whether Donald Trump and his campaign colluded with the Russians to rig the 2016 election, that there was no "there" there, then what?

Will the liberals then organize a lynch mob to go after Mr. Mueller? He can't count on escaping a little tar and feathers, if not the rope. The Democrats are already drooling in anticipation of getting the goods on the president. Their media allies are feeding them a steady diet of appetizers. President Trump is widely accused of trying to intimidate the special prosecutor. On any morning there's no room on the front pages of The New York Times and The Washington Post for anything but appetizers.

The press mob after the president could be easily turned against Mr. Mueller unless he comes across with what the mob wants. Mr. Mueller has been in Washington long enough to know how this game is played. He can't help but feel intimidated.

The press thinks of itself as a regiment of resolute investigators of independent mien, trained by Sgt. Joe Friday "just the facts, ma'am", but the investigators are mostly birds on a wire, one flies off and all the others follow, then one returns to the wire and all the others follow him.

This week there's a feast of worms to attract the early birds on the wire, with enough even for the latecomers.

The Great Russian-Trump Collusion is always good for a headline or a tweet about trivia, perhaps exciting enough to tempt CNN to interrupt its endless coverage of the missing Malaysian airliner, but there's the continuing fallout of President Trump's withdrawal from the Paris global-warming pact, and the trial of comedian Bill Cosby for using the prospect of a job in television with an assist from the pharmaceutical sciences to persuade a lady to come across with a little enhanced companionship.

There's James Comey's more or less promised blockbuster about what President Trump said to him over the coffee cups. The week should be an unusual triple-header on the front pages, the evening news and the usual bang-and-shout on cable-TV.

Most of the big birds on the wire will exhaust themselves flying back and forth between the wires. Men, the wise man said, think in herds, and it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

And of all the offspring of Time, as another wise man said, Error is the most ancient, and is so old and familiar an acquaintance that Truth, when discovered, comes upon most of us like an intruder, and meets the intruder's welcome.

A Scottish journalist named Charles Mackay even wrote a book about this phenomenon in 1841, "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds," inspired by the great Dutch tulip madness early in the 17th century.

Soon after the tulip, an extraordinarily beautiful flower to be sure, was exported to Holland from Turkey, the Dutch imagined that everyone could get rich in the tulip trade.

Every day brought a new and more spectacular speculation, like The New York Times discovering that Donald Trump once pulled the hair of the little girl in the desk in front of him, or The Washington Post learning from an anonymous source that the Donald once broke wind during the prayer at the only time he ever attended a church service. Presbyterians of that day were starchy, indeed.

Soon tulips were expensive far beyond the dreams of the poor and even the rich and powerful. A single bulb might be exchanged for 8 fat swine, or 12 fat sheep, or 2 tons of butter or a thousand pounds of cheese. Every town of significant size had a tulip exchange.

Farmers, mechanics, footmen, maidservants and even chimney sweeps dabbled in the tulip trade, like in a later day television anchorpersons, even unto the sweethearts of the cable, demanding millions of dollars to switch networks, the better to barter exaggerations.

Many tulip traders grew rich, but eventually the bubble burst. Only the elegant tulip survived.

There's a lesson here for speculators of every stripe. Playing the game of "can you top this?" are men posing today as wise men who compete to see who can say the most unlikely things about the man who invites scorn with a loose lip.

David Gergen, who has advised Presidents Nixon, Ford, Reagan and liar-Clinton and often badly, as the modest Mr. Gergen himself might attest is typical of the Washington wise men who are about to exhaust their adjectives.

Mr. Gergen is beside himself over the president's scorn of the Paris agreement. He thinks the president was already in "impeachment territory," and walking away from Paris was "one of the most shameful acts in our history." But he's not alone in Tulip-like mania.

There should be a big market in Washington for Midol, waiting for a supplier to exploit opportunity.

Trump Can Be His Own Worst Enemy

President Donald Trump’s temporary travel ban has been the subject of much consternation for several months. After he issued a lawful (if ill-conceived) order regarding incoming travel from several dangerous Islamic countries, a lawless judiciary struck it down based not on the order but on Trump’s campaign statements about Muslims. So he tried again with a revised order that attempted to address the judicial concerns. That too was struck down, and Trump is now appealing to the Supreme Court.

But shortly after announcing the appeal, he proceeded to shoot himself in the foot with another Twitter tirade. “People, the lawyers and the courts can call it whatever they want,” Trump tweeted. “I am calling it what we need and what it is, a TRAVEL BAN!” He added, “The Justice Dept. should have stayed with the original Travel Ban, not the watered down, politically correct version they submitted to S.C.”

Where to begin? He signed off on the revised order, but he’s throwing Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the DOJ under the bus. That kind of buck-passing was pathetic when Barack liar-nObama did it, and it’s no less so now. The revision was not “watered down,” either, but on better legal footing than the original. The Wall Street Journal notes, “Had the White House done such legal due diligence in the first place, the travel ban might not have become a political bonfire — not least because the President enjoys wide constitutional and statutory discretion over immigration and national security.”

Worse, his legal team has already had a tough time with judges who’d rather look at his campaign rhetoric than the actual executive order. Trump just made his defense harder.

We’ll give him one thing: He is absolutely right about courts being “slow and political,” though even there he could help by moving to fill the 131 federal judicial vacancies instead of starting Twitter firestorms.

Some constructive criticism (again) for the president: Yes, Twitter helps him reach his base, and it’s very likely most grassroots folks see this as Trump speaking truth to corruption. But he needs a legal win on the policy, not accolades from people who already voted for him. Set Twitter aside and govern.

We suppose the good news is that there are more effective security strategies than this temporary travel ban — better vetting, for example, which the ban was supposed to provide time to accomplish — so even if Justice Neil Gorsuch writes the unanimous majority opinion striking it down, Trump won’t be out of options. ~The Patriot Post

The tactics have proven to be quite successful in diminishing the intensity and frequency of the warnings and the ability and willingness of people to speak out, to force self-censorship as well as empowering others who would censor the free speech of Americans. Carson is one of two members of Congress who are Muslims, the other being Keith Ellison. Both have sworn an oath to the Constitution that their ideology precludes them from honoring. Blitzer asks, “You’re one of two Muslim members of the United States Congress. Are you facing any hatred, anything along those lines, in the aftermath of what’s been going on over these past several weeks and months?” Right Wolf, dismiss any objection to what they’re doing, to their agenda of conquest as unjustified, bigoted, hate; that’s the mission of a CNN propagandist... http://rickwells.us/cnn-orchestrates-reps-anti-trump-attack-fanning-flames-islamophobia/

This is especially so if the anti-Semite uses the cover of rabid hatred for the nation-state of the Jewish people... These bigots succeed in becoming accepted -- even praised -- not because of their anti-Semitism, but despite it. Increasingly, they are given a pass on their Jew-hatred because those who support them admire or share other aspects of what they represent. This implicit tolerance of anti-Semitism -- as long as it comes from someone whose other views are acceptable -- represents a dangerous new trend from both the right and left. In the United States, although there has been hard-right anti-Semitism for decades, the bigotry of the hard-left is far more prevalent and influential on many university campuses...We need to put our foot down and say enough is enough. https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10492/anti-semitism-tolerance

"He’s not a credible witness,” says Sekulow, “and he’s discussing his testimony with the special counsel, I think this points to what we’re going to see on Thursday, which is, probably, basically, not much.” Sekulow warns, “James Comey better be very careful in what he says,” noting that the law required Comey to report any crime he knew to have taken place or be taking place, which would be a simple matter of walking across the street to the DOJ, and he failed to do so, he committed a crime.”... http://rickwells.us/sekulow-warns-comey-better-careful-says-senate-testimony/

The Left's Unilateral Suicide Pact

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Liberal ideology conceives of "safe spaces" in the context of alleged white patriarchy, but there was a real need for a "safe space" in Britain's three terrorist attacks in the last three months. What was the "progressive" answer to yet another instance of Islamic terrorism in the West? Feckless calls for resisting hate, pledges of renewed diversity, and little else.

A rethinking of immigration policies is off the table. Nothing that an Islamic terrorist can do will ever shake the left-wing commitment to open borders --- not mass sexual assaults, not the deliberate slaughter of gays, and not, as in Manchester, the killing of young girls.

The real threat that radical Islam poses to feminism and gay rights must be disregarded in order to transform the West by Third World immigration. Defenders of the open-borders status quo inevitably claim that if a terrorist is a second-generation immigrant, like Abedi, immigration policy has nothing to do with his attack. The parents of the Manchester terrorist emigrated to Britain from Libya; his immediate family in Manchester lived in the world's largest Libyan enclave outside Africa itself.

Media Matters ridiculed a comment about the Manchester bombing by Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt with the following headline: fox news host suggests 'open borders' are to blame for manchester attack carried out by british native.

Earhardt had asked how to prevent "what's happening in Europe, with all these open borders, they're not vetting, they're opening their borders to families like this, and this is how they're paid back in return." Pace Media Matters, a second-generation Muslim immigrant with a zeal for suicide bombing is as much of an immigration issue as a first-generation immigrant with a terrorist bent. The fact that second-generation immigrants are not assimilating into Western culture makes immigration policy more, not less, of a pressing matter. It is absurd to suggest that Abedi picked up his terrorist leanings from reading William Shakespeare and William Wordsworth, rather than from the ideology of radical Islam that has been imported into Britain by mass immigration.

The Washington Post, too, editorialized that "defenders of vulnerable immigrants and asylum seekers, who in Britain as elsewhere in the West remain the targets of populist demagogues, could take some comfort from the fact that the assault apparently did not originate with those communities." Well, where did the assault originate from-Buckingham Palace?

Since liberals and progressives will not allow a rethinking of open borders policy, perhaps they would support improved intelligence capacity so as to detect terror attacks in the planning stages? Nope. The Left still decries the modest expansions of surveillance power under the 2001 Patriot Act as the work of totalitarianism. Former New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly sought to gather publicly available information about dense Muslim neighborhoods in New York in order to monitor potential radicalization; his discontinued initiative is still denounced as anti-Muslim oppression. Internet companies protect encrypted communications from government access, to the applause of civil libertarians and the mainstream media. The National Security Agency's mass data analysis, done by unconscious computer algorithms, is still being challenged in court.

What about using ordinary police powers to try to hinder terrorism? Islamic terrorists in Europe have moonlighted as crooks, engaging in drug dealing, robberies, vandalism, and theft. The U.S. should have zero tolerance for any criminal activity committed by aliens: break the criminal law and you're out of here. Deporting alien criminals is both an anti-crime and an anti-terrorism strategy. Yet mayors and police chiefs in sanctuary jurisdictions across the country continue to release alien criminals back into the community from jail in defiance of requests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to hold the criminals briefly for removal proceedings. The New York Police Department defied every ICE detainer request it received in the first four months of 2017, instead releasing 179 alien criminals back into the streets, according to the New York Post.

So what does the progressive and liberal bloc offer? Treacly bromides, combined with fatalism about the necessity of adjusting to future attacks. A day after Manchester, the Washington Post admonished:

As nations across the West have learned, it is not possible to prevent all such terrorist attacks, especially when they are staged by homegrown militants. What is possible is a response that focuses on uniting rather than dividing a diverse society. That's what was happening in Manchester on Tuesday, as thousands of people of all races and faiths gathered for a vigil in the city's Albert Square. "I'm not here as a person with brown skin or someone born Muslim," a man named Amir Shah told a Guardian reporter. "I'm here as a Mancunian." If that spirit prevails, the terrorists will have failed.

No, the terrorists will have failed if they can no longer slaughter children. They don't care if a terror attack is met with candlelight vigils; they care if border restrictions and law enforcement make it impossible to destroy lives.

The flip side of the Post's "terrorists will have failed if we light candles" conceit is the ubiquitous meme that the "terrorists will have won" if we modify our intelligence strategies or immigration policies in any way. The New York Times editorialized after the Manchester bombing: "It is important to recognize this attack for what it is: an attempt to shake Britain-and, by extension, the rest of Europe and the West-to its core, and to provoke a thirst for vengeance and a desire for absolute safety so intense, it will sweep away the most cherished democratic values and the inclusiveness of diverse societies." This response is narcissistic. The attack was an effort to kill British girls and their parents, period. The terrorists win every time they pull off such massacres. They are not monitoring the legislative process and plotting how to move the needle on Western security protections in a way contrary to their own self-interest. If a society were exclusively Christian, Jewish, or even Muslim, it would be just as much the target of attack by ISIS or al-Qaida as a more "diverse" society.

Moreover, how would the New York Times distinguish a terror attack that seeks to "sweep away . . . the inclusiveness of diverse societies" from one that was merely intended to kill? Any terror attack carries some chance albeit an increasingly de minimis one that it will result in a tightening of immigration or security policies, but that does not mean that such tightening is the goal of the attack.

Perhaps aware that the "candlelight vigil" strategy for fighting terrorism may seem a little wan, progressives make passing reference to actual security measures, but couched in such broad terms as to be almost meaningless. And they are only faking it, because those security measures would violate core tenets of progressive ideology.

Washington Post columnist Anne Applebaum, for example, invokes the usual weak remedies: she calls for "community solidarity, things like the mass vigil that took place in Manchester on Tuesday night, or the offers of tea, blankets and bedrooms extended to people stranded by the attack." But then, so as not to sound too soft, she also suggests "better policing . . . as well as the forthright teaching of British values in British schools." If "better policing" means more surveillance of, or interaction with, suspicious individuals, good luck with that. One can already hear the cries of "racial profiling." As for the "forthright teaching of British values in British schools," where does Applebaum think we are-the 1920s? Forthright teaching of Western values went out decades ago as an anti-minority, anti-immigrant violation of multicultural relativism.

Even more hypocritically, the New York Times intones that "maximum vigilance is needed, and . . . public spaces must be made as safe as possible." Never mind that the Times led the fight against NYPD Commissioner Kelly's neighborhood-mapping program that tried to maintain "vigilance" against nascent radicalization. Never mind that the Times rages against any police effort to increase the safety of "public spaces," whether via pedestrian stops or Broken Windows policing.

The contrast between the Times's attitude toward domestic policing and its attitude toward Islamic terrorism is striking. When it comes to terrorism, the public should "recognize that more attacks will very likely occur, despite our best defenses," the Times says. It is also "critical that immigrants, especially Muslims, are not stigmatized." If the Times were talking about police shootings of black males, it would never counsel acceptance of the alleged inevitability of more shootings. As for not stigmatizing an entire group for the actions of a few, when it comes to the police, there has been no shriller a stigmatizer than the Times. It has crusaded against cops in the most inflammatory terms, accusing the police of systemic bias against blacks. Unlike a terrorist, an officer almost never initiates an interaction with a civilian with the intention to kill, unless he is confronting a suspect who poses a deadly threat. True, a few individual officers have made horribly wrong judgments about a suspect's threat level. But those misjudgments do not occur out of homicidal animus. Regarding Islamic terrorism, the Times intones that "Understanding is critical" and inveighs against "whipping up divisive ethnic, racist and religious hatreds." The Times has never tried to "understand" why officers are more likely to use force in high-crime, gang-ridden areas or why officers try to restore order there answer: because the law-abiding residents of those anarchic neighborhoods beg them to do so.

Applebaum warns against "politicizing" the "natural" emotions triggered by the attack-"horror, anger, sadness, fear, revulsion." Why shouldn't those emotions be politicized? Every left-wing cause, especially the anti-cop crusade, is the result of politicizing an emotion. When it comes to terrorism, however, a country is apparently not allowed to say: "Enough is enough, the status quo is not working, we need to rethink the policies that have allowed this mayhem to flourish." Mob justice, of course, is abhorrent, and any changes of law must follow the normal deliberative process. But the public should not have to resign itself abjectly to future attacks.

Islamic terrorism in the West is an immigration problem. Until we have the law enforcement and intelligence capacity to detect terror plots, immigration policy has to change, both in Europe and in the U.S. European security forces are unable to track the militants in their populations, so large are their numbers. The United States must not end up in the same situation. We need lower immigration levels and much tighter screening. The Manchester bombing vindicated President Donald Trump's March 2017 executive order briefly limiting travel to the U.S. from half a dozen ISIS- and al-Qaida-riven countries, including Libya, while the administration reviews security screening in those countries. Yet three days after Manchester, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down that order, claiming that it "drips with religious intolerance, animus and discrimination." This judicial crusade against Trump's travel pause cripples the executive's ability to protect the country from attack, by exporting phantom constitutional rights to the world. Progressives' passivity in the face of Islamic terrorism is not a consistent philosophy. It is rather the outcome of their commitment to open borders at any cost. That ideology has taken too many lives and must be overcome.

{rickwells.us} ~ Paul Joseph Watson lives in the UK so he’s quite familiar with the politics and the social conditions, including as they relate to the Islamic invasion and their takeover of the nation... He’s angry that once again his country has been struck by terrorists, imported with reckless abandon by their politically correct, feckless government, and that nothing other than empty speeches can be expected in response. He points to the stupidity of those, such as pop sluts Ariana Grande and Katy Perry, who advocate a return to the posture of compliant victims that they maintained prior to the Manchester attack and which enabled the London Bridge attack. Recognizing that they view their god as a blood thirsty terrorist, Watson plays a clip of one witness who described the terrorists as saying, “this is for Allah” as they slashed innocent victims’ throats. He notes that the BBC has footage of the perpetrators making those statements, but they refuse to air them as it would be damaging to their pro-Islamist narrative... http://rickwells.us/paul-joseph-watson-tough-action-needed-britain-may-offering-pc-surrender/

The murder — which occurred in broad daylight... in a busy pedestrian shopping area in Oldenburg and caused great consternation among local citizens — is not just the latest example of Sharia law being enforced on German streets. The crime also highlighted the growing epidemic of knife violence in Germany. Knives, axes and machetes have become weapons of choice for criminals in Germany, which has some of the strictest gun laws in Europe. Knives are not only being used to carry out jihadist attacks, but increasingly to commit homicides, robberies, home invasions, sexual assaults, honor killings and many other kinds of violent crime... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10488/germany-stabbings

The Senate Budget Committee said Tuesday that the legislation to repeal and replace liar-nObamacare complies with the rules for reconciliation set by the Senate parliamentarian. Republicans have sought to use the pathway, which lets a bill be approved in the Senate by only 51 votes instead of the 60 needed to break a filibuster. But there are strict guidelines for using reconciliation.

As the New York Post reports, “‘We have back-channel communications with a number of countries,’ McMaster said Saturday. ‘What that allows you to do is communicate in a discreet manner, so I’m not concerned.’” “Kushner’s plan — which never took effect — was meant to let the Trump transition team communicate privately with the Russian government on Syria and other issues... https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/26186-why-the-kushner-russia-affair-is-much-ado-about-nothing

{aei.org} ~ America’s surface transportation system faces a range of serious problems, which hamper its performance. Traffic congestion is a growing problem. Congested roads wasted 6.9 billion hours of motorists’ travel time... and almost 3.1 billion gallons of fuel in 2014. Moreover, congestion’s overall social costs are growing rapidly over time. The congestion “invoice” in the United States for added fuel and time costs grew from $42 billion in 1982 to about $160 billion in 2014. Meanwhile, the revenue sources available to maintain, operate and selectively expand the road network remain inadequate and unreliable. Large system parts are past their original design lives and in need of major overhaul. Maintenance of roads, bridges and tunnels has been deferred, sometimes for decades. New approaches to funding the U.S. transportation system are necessary. A key insight is to appreciate the distinction between the funding of infrastructure and its financing. “Funding” for transportation infrastructure refers to the underlying dollars or financial resources necessary to maintain, operate, and renovate the nation’s transportation system... http://www.aei.org/publication/how-should-america-pay-for-its-infrastructure-needs/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=060617

by Retired Adm. James A. Lyons
{aim.org} ~ As I stated in my op-ed of 17 May, after China played the North Korea nuclear card, your criticism of the liar-nObama administration’s failure to take stronger actions against China’s illegal actions in the South China Sea were spot on! However, instead of following through with your proposed much tougher actions, your administration, with the help of liar-nObama “holdovers,” fell into the trap of all recent past administrations: being nice to China so that they will help us resolve the North Korea nuclear problem. We continue to simply ignore the fact that it was China and Russia that created the North Korean nuclear problem in the first place!

A similar scenario was played out as you departed for your historic trip to the Middle East and Europe. You were encouraged not to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem as it might have an adverse impact on Middle East peace negotiations, and your trip objectives. Prior to that, certain GCC countries indicated they were prepared to make certain concessions to Israel. Therefore, don’t do anything that could derail potential peace negotiations or concessions that certain Arab States may be prepared to make to Israel.

What’s left out of that scenario is the fact that your statement that you were prepared to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem is what most likely prompted new undefined concessions to Israel and renewed interest in Israel-Palestinian peace negotiations. I hope your decision to sign a waiver and postpone the move to Jerusalem by at least six months does not become a regular ritual, as it did for the past three presidents. Granted, having the Palestinian terrorist leader Mahmoud Abbas to the White House gave impetus to the subject of renewed peace negotiations.

The most serious peace negotiations took place during President liar-Clinton’s tenure. The First Summit took place at Camp David on 11 to 24 July, 2000. Both President liar-Clinton and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak were prepared to cut a deal. Israel had dropped its refusal to divide Jerusalem and accepted “full Palestinian sovereignty” of the Temple Mount! Israel only asked the Palestinians to recognize that the Temple Mount was sacred to Jews. Arafat refused and, in effect, denied the core of the Jewish faith.

Abu Mazen, one of the lead Palestinian negotiators at that time, said that even before the summit, “Palestinians made it clear to the Americans that the Palestinian side is unable to make concessions on anything.” Nonetheless, one more attempt was made at the White House on 19 to 23 December, 2000. A final settlement proposal endorsed by Israeli Prime Minister Barak was offered. Again, Arafat rejected. He could not accept Israeli control of Jewish holy sites. In short, he was not prepared to make any concessions.

What has changed? Nothing! They are still Arafat loyalists, still Muslim, still faithful to the example of Mohammad. If anything, it has gotten more complicated with Hamas in control of Gaza and its refusal to accept the right of Israeli to exist. While the specifics of your discussion with Palestinian President Abbas are not known, it can be assumed that he gave you assurances that he is prepared to enter into serious peace negotiations with Israel. Based on the collapse of the 2008 peace negotiation with Abbas sponsored by President Bush over initially the same issues that Arafat had rejected, the prospects for any successful negotiations appear very dim, particularly if Hamas is made part of the negotiating team—as proposed by their sponsor, CAIR. We should not forget that CAIR is one of the unindicted co-conspirators of the terrorist funding Holy Land Foundation Trial.

Separately, you are being told that the Islamic State (IS) and other affiliated terrorist groups have promoted a perverted version of Islam. The current rationale is that all we have to do is eliminate the Islamic State, and similar rebel groups and some sense of stability will be achieved. In effect, they claim, IS has “hijacked a great religion.” After all, Islam is a religion of peace. Those were the worst six words President George W. Bush ever uttered. Nothing could be further from the truth. One of the objectives of your trip, Mr. President, as stated by your National Security Advisor, was to promote “a more moderate version of Islam.” Unfortunately, there isn’t any. The atrocities that we see being carried out by IS are consistent with core Islamic doctrine. It is not “violent extremism.” Islam, is a totalitarian ideology, bent on world domination, masquerading as a religion.

President Erdogan of Turkey said it best when he was Prime Minister: “Islam is Islam. Democracy is the train we ride to achieve our ultimate objective which is to make Islam the dominant religion throughout the world.”

When Mohammad was in Mecca, before his migration (Hijra) to Medina, he was only able to attract a few hundred followers by preaching. The verses he claimed to receive from Allah during the so-called “Mecca period” reflect his weak status. The verses were passive, tolerant, and generally non-violent as he tried to attract more followers. These pre-Medina non-violent scriptures are confusing to the non-Muslim world as they are often cited by Muslims to hide the true nature of Islam.

That all changed after the hijra to Medina in 622. By that date Mohammad had built up his forces, all the peaceful scriptures turned to violence, and the Islamic jihad as we know it today began in earnest. Make no mistake, support for Islamic jihad is mandatory for all Muslims.

The fact that during the Arab-Islamic-American Summit in Riyadh an agreement was reached on establishing a “Global Center for Combatting Extremism” is a remarkable achievement. Hopefully, it will be able to curtail funding support and recruitment. Ultimately, it could be a center to help coordinate efforts for the removal of the Iranian theocracy, notwithstanding the Qatar problem.

Regardless of what was promised to you during your visit to Saudi Arabia— that they will work toward eliminating the Islamic state, etc—the Islamic principle of taqiyya comes into play. Taqiyya, or deceiving the infidels, is sanctioned to advance the cause of Islam. That says it all. Don’t fall into the trap on the futile peace negotiations or failing to move our embassy to Jerusalem.

Trump to Ecofascists: You're Fired!

-Z3y-L_tScAK2GP9bG_FAyYR9lENgX87xLWQLl-Y9kv68WBohiva1Srhm22XH5EXEawMqMLalF5vQAR6IbAmujBEB2oTs2fBRquGEoFNsqgyAPM6Hm02M_nRwe-aSNo=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=

By Arnold Ahlert: As satisfying as President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the Paris agreement was, it pales in comparison to leftists' reaction to it. The suppurating eruption from globalist elites, Hollywood glitterati, feckless politicians, media jackals and environmentalist jackboots is a wonder to behold.

German newspaper Berliner Kurier led the charge, embracing the Left's latest "intellectual" tack, as in the use of four letter words they apparently believe deliver maximum impact. Hence the front page headline, "Earth to Trump: F*** you!" For the sake of "perspective" it should be noted the same paper once called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "insane" for using another "F" word — "Führer."

The "Drop Dead" meme, first used in 1975 in response to President Gerald Ford's refusal to give federal aid to New York City to spare it from bankruptcy, was revived as well. Democrat party hack Chuck clown-Schumer voiced the charge, dutifully aped by "Drop Dead" headlines in the News Leader, the New York Daily News, and the Huffington Post.

In CNN's "Trump to planet: Drop dead," columnist David A. Andelman warned that "Trump now risks plunging America into the position of the lone bully in the lunchroom" — meaning Andelman remains totally oblivious to the army of leftist bullies in the same "lunchroom." Bullies who had no problem with Barack liar-nObama bypassing the Senate by declaring the Paris deal an "agreement" instead of a treaty.

Moving downward, elitist billionaire and environmentalist "hero" Tom Steyer called the withdrawal a "traitorous act of war." That would be the same Tom Steyer who once owned Farallon Capital Management, a firm heavily invested in coal. Perhaps there's a statute of limitations on "treason."

By contrast, rank hypocrisy seems eternal, and no one does it better than limousine-riding, private jet flying, mansion-owning, greenhouse gas-spewing celebrities whose "do as I say, not as I do" sanctimony is the stuff of legend. Trump will have the "death of whole nations on his hands," Mark Ruffalo warned. "Today, our planet suffered," moaned Leonardo DiCaprio. "Trump is having the U.S. pull out of the Paris Climate Accord. Too bad someone didn't tell his father that he shoulda pulled out, too," chirped Star Trek has-been George Takei. "Trump just committed a crime against humanity," huffed Michael Moore. "There has never in US history been such a destructive megalomaniac in the WH," tweeted Bette Midler. And the ever colorful Cher was at her "intellectual" best, warning "ppl" of the world that there are "'MILLIONS'OfUs" being held "Hostage By Insane DICTATOR!"

More like insane media. CNN host Fareed Zakaria called Thursday "the day that the United States resigned as the leader of the free world." CBS trotted out liar-nObama and his standard spiel that those who reject progressive ideology "reject the future." NBC went with uber climate "prognosticator" Al Gore, who insisted the withdrawal "is a reckless and indefensible action that undermines America's standing in the world and threatens to damage humanity's ability to solve the climate crisis in time." Apparently the reality that Gore's doomsday predictions have been spectacularly wrong doesn't negate his status as the media's go-to-guy on climate change.

And the always "even-handed" New York Times published a column entitled "Donald Trump Poisons the World" in which "conservative" columnist David Brooks excoriates Trump and his associates for their insufficiently "Kumbaya" approach to world affairs.

Politicians? California Gov. Jerry Brown called the withdrawal an "Insane Move by a Made by Deviant." liar-Hillary Clinton called it a "historic mistake." Australian MP Adam Bandt labeled Trump a "climate criminal" who should become a "world pariah," and Sen. Tom Kaine (D-VA insisted Trump's presidency "is all destruction & no accomplishments." German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French president Emmanuel Macron and Italian prime minister Paolo Gentiloni deemed exiting the Paris agreement "irreversible" and "non-negotiable," immediately undercutting Trump's promise to revamp the deal on terms more favorable to America. New York City bathed landmarks in green, and Mayor Bill De Blasio promised a power grab to "honor the goals" of the agreement — goals that apparently don't include wasting power on specious symbolism. DeBlasio was joined by a group called The Climate Mayors as well as politicians in 30 states who promised to defy Trump and pursue their own green agendas. And the inimitable Nancy Pulosi accused Trump of "dishonoring" God.

The environmentalists were led by Greenpeace and Spanish director Mario Rodriguez. "Resistance will be maintained because the United States is much more than just the White House and Trump," he stated. And since no leftist outburst is complete without accusations of racism, the ACLU National called the withdrawal a "massive step back for racial justice, and an assault on communities of color across the U.S."

Ecofascists are consoling themselves with polls. "Most Americans support government regulation to fight climate change," The Washington Post headline informs us. If that's true, the propaganda has worked. The only thing left is to beat Trump-supporting Neanderthals into submission.

The Paris agreement is an utter fraud, one underscored by the reality that the United States has contributed $1 billion to the Green Climate Fund, while China, India and Russia have contributed nothing. It is a pact designed by democracy-crushing, national sovereignty-despising progressive elites determined to put "exceptional" America in an unexceptional place.

Instead, globalists and their New World Order dreams have been dealt a serious blow by the man they hold in contempt for, as he put it, representing the citizens of "Pittsburgh, not Paris" — exactly as he promised to do.

America will continue finding innovative ways to be environmentally responsible, minus the yoke ecofascists sought to strap on our neck. Much to their amazement, President Trump just "fired" all of them.

It couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

CNN Fake News Acosta Slammed Hard For Nasty, Ridiculous Question In Briefing

{rickwells.us} ~ In the Monday White House press briefing, CNN’s “Very Fake News” reporter, Jim Acosta, was up to his usual antagonistic stunts and tactics... challenging President Trump in every way imaginable, no matter how far-fetched or how blatantly obvious he was in doing so. The caustic Acosta involves others in his question so as to offer the appearance that the stupid, biased and accusatory question he’s asking is something anyone in the room might ask and something most “good reporters” are probably wondering about as well. He addressed Sarah Huckabee Sanders, saying, “I want to follow up on what Jon was asking about with respect to the mayor of London. There are going to be folks who are going to ask the question, ‘was the President attacking the mayor of London because he’s a Muslim?'”...http://rickwells.us/cnn-fake-news-acosta-slammed-hard-nasty-ridiculous-question-briefing/

Basically, it is the process by which a deception is perpetrated simply by saying thus is so and pointing to the shiny surface as proof... This is once again happening with the egregious David Horowitz. Several years ago, I had the unexpected misfortune of having to experience the true nature of David Horowitz due to his spearheading a disinformation campaign against me and my 2013 book American Betrayal. This campaign of lies would end up including nearly two dozen pieces by a cabal of writers, the first of which I rebutted, perhaps ironically, at Breitbart News. Other rebuttals, too, for that matter, ran at Breitbart when other websites refused me space. For new readers, American Betrayal, in part, is about how Moscow-directed and -loyal communists and their accomplices were secretly able to infiltrate and influence the US and other great powers into cataclysmic acts that entrenched, enriched and expanded the Soviet empire abroad; at home, they rotted out the Republic long before "the Sixties" ever began -- all, according to "court history" ever since, under the banner of "victory" in World War II and the Cold War... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/godfather-not?f=must_reads

Islamic Preacher in Michigan Helped

Radicalize London Bridge Terrorists

{frontpagemag.com} ~ One of the London terrorist attackers, British police revealed Monday, was Khuram Shazad Butt, 27, a British citizen born in Pakistan who had been investigated by police and MI5... A second attacker was Rachid Redouane, 30, also known as Rachid Elkhdar, and according to police a Moroccan or Libyan. At this writing, police have not revealed the name of the third attacker, but it is now apparent where he got his motivation to kill. According to Daily Caller reporter Saagar Enjeti, Ahmad Musa Jibril, an Islamic preacher in Michigan, helped radicalize the attacker. Jibril was “well known on YouTube for preaching sermons that appear to lionize Islamic terrorists fighting in Syria.” He is a U.S. citizen of Palestinian descent who earned a degree in Islamic law from Saudi Arabia. As Enjeti notes, Jibril appears to have problems adhering to U.S. criminal law as “a convicted fraudster who at one time owed nearly a quarter of a million dollars in restitution to the U.S. government, and served nearly 7 years in prison.”...He needs to be deported. http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/266907/islamic-preacher-michigan-helped-radicalize-london-lloyd-billingsley

by pmorgan
{consjournal.com} ~ Leader of WikiLeaks Julian Assange is sharing some facts about liar-Hillary Clinton once again. Clearly we already know liar-Hillary is corrupt, but this may take the cake.

In the interview below Assange discusses how one email in all of liar-Hillary’s emails stand out above the rest. He shares that “All serious analysts know, and even the US government has agreed, that some Saudi figures have been supporting ISIS and funding ISIS, but the dodge has always been that it is some “rogue” princes using their oil money to do whatever they like, but actually the government disapproves.” However this liar-Hillary Clinton email says that it’s not just a rogue prince, but the actual governments of Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

When asked more details about the relations between liar-Hillary and these governments Assange shares a startling discovery. These governments are funding the liar-Clinton Foundation, buying arms from the U.S. AND funding ISIS and ISIL.

He shares “Under liar-Hillary Clinton – and the liar-Clinton emails reveal a significant discussion of it – the biggest-ever arms deal in the world was made with Saudi Arabia: more than $80 billion. During her tenure, the total arms exports from the US doubled in dollar value.”

She’s even more wrapped up in criminal activities than we originally thought and using the U.S. to arm the enemy. Watch the video below:

Comey's Opening Remarks Released

Ahead of Thursday Testimony

MSM Hopes Comey Hearing Precipitates Trump

Impeachment. It Won’t

lBarh9pSDGcMQV3o70ulmzbxWtNSErBwObs8PgahKhYJqouATmtXy1DqllIYJ8gm77YLHFd0UuUiCeu8PPZy_HJ_NgNuf-p1guwhLrM2Dsw7fLfPoaCafgOf0_7esus=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=

Tomorrow, former FBI Director James Comey will give his testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee. The focus of the mainstream media’s coverage leading up to this moment has been the existence of a memo which Comey had allegedly written after a meeting with Donald Trump. According to media sources, Comey wrote that Trump said to him, “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this [investigation] go, to letting [Mike] Flynn go.” And ever since the New York Times first ran the salacious story, the MSM has pushed the narrative that this is the “smoking gun” evidence proving that Trump was somehow seeking to obstruct an FBI investigation into his alleged collusion with Russia.

The MSM’s mindset, as described by Brendan Kirby of LifeZette, is that Comey’s testimony “will be the biggest congressional testimony since the Clarence Thomas hearings! No, since Oliver North testified about the Iran-Contra affair! No, wait … since Watergate!” Indeed, the Leftmedia has worked itself up into a lather in anticipation hoping that Comey’s testimony will be the impeachable moment they’ve been dreaming about since Trump won the election.

The most likely scenario, however, is that nothing new will be learned on the alleged Russia-Trump collusion conspiracy, no matter how much Democrats blow smoke in their desperate attempts to keep the narrative viable. The more interesting questions that should be asked are questions regarding Comey’s handling of the liar-Hillary Clinton email investigation and the liar-Clinton Foundation’s pay-to-play racket. In other words, questions about more pressing and pertinent matters of actual criminal behavior and the FBI’s investigative decisions regarding pursuing that corruption, rather than getting sidetracked with a phony scandal.

{rickwells.us} ~ Lou Dobbs has a few thoughts on “what appears to be a mass psychosis that has overwhelmed the left-wing national media... Not only have many news outlets detached themselves from reality,” says Dobbs, “but they have also begun reporting and describing ever growing delusions.” “The Associated Press, for example,” says Dobbs, “obviously imagines itself in a leading role in the left-wing media’s war against President Trump, who in their view has disintermediated the Associated Press from its audience, threatening not only AP’s relevance but its very existence. The AP, raging against its rising irrelevance, wrote this: ‘President Donald Trump can’t be counted on to give accurate information to Americans when violent acts are unfolding abroad.'” Dobbs says, “I want you, if you will, to think of the massive stupidity of that statement. In point of fact AP is jealous of the President and actually jealous of their future. That’s the AP’s way of saying if you read or listen to President Trump speaking directly to the American people, then what will be the role of the AP?”... http://rickwells.us/dobbs-parts-left-wing-national-media-simply-lost-minds/

The Journal’s Political Insider blog reports the Handel campaign claims Ossoff fears a national debate because “His fictitious narrative and flimsy resume won’t stand up to scrutiny” and the “questioning that would have likely been dominated by national correspondents from CNN.” Early voting in the GA6 June 20 runoff is underway and continues through June 16... http://www.redstate.com/california_yankee/2017/06/05/ossoff-declines-debate-handel-virtually-tied-ga6-runoff/?utm_source=rsmorningbriefing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ A important banking reform bill may be headed to the House floor in the coming weeks. House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, sponsored the Financial CHOICE Act... which would roll back some of the biggest regulatory burdens of the 2010 Dodd-Frank law, bringing meaningful relief for consumers and small businesses. Left out of the CHOICE Creating Hope and Opportunity for Investors, Consumer and Entrepreneurs Act, though, is a provision that would have eliminated a cap on debit card swipe fees, the so-called Durbin Amendment. Its namesake reasoned that capping the amount that banks charge retailers for debit card purchases would result in consumer savings, but history has proven otherwise. The policy has resulted in higher bank fees and costs and restricted access to free checking accounts. Members of Congress should support the CHOICE Act, even if it excludes language repealing the Durbin Amendment. The bill includes too many other positive reforms to pass up... http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/dodd-frank-is-a-mess-fix-broken-banking-laws-with-the-choice-act/article/2624428

Comey's Opening Remarks Released

Ahead of Thursday Testimony

by Katie Pavlich
{townhall.com} ~ The Senate Intelligence Committee has released former FBI Director James Comey's opening statement for Thursday's much anticipated hearing on Capitol Hill.

According to the prepared remarks, Comey will testify that President Trump asked him to drop the FBI's investigation into former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, but did not ask the same for the larger Russia investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin during the 2016 presidential election.

During a February 14, 2017 Oval Office meeting with leading officials from the intelligence community, Homeland Security and the Justice Department, Comey was asked to stay behind for a private discussion with the president (bolding of italicized testimony below is mine). After the meeting, he asked Attorney General Jeff Sessions to make sure the President could no longer contact him directly.

The President signaled the end of the briefing by thanking the group and telling them all that he wanted to speak to me alone. I stayed in my chair. As the participants started to leave the Oval Office, the Attorney General lingered by my chair, but the President thanked him and said he wanted to speak only with me. The last person to leave was Jared Kushner, who also stood by my chair and exchanged pleasantries with me. The President then excused him, saying he wanted to speak with me.

When the door by the grandfather clock closed, and we were alone, the President began by saying, “I want to talk about Mike Flynn.” Flynn had resigned the previous day

The President began by saying Flynn hadn’t done anything wrong in speaking with the Russians, but he had to let him go because he had misled the Vice President. He added that he had other concerns about Flynn, which he did not then specify. The President then made a long series of comments about the problem with leaks of classified information–a concern I shared and still share.

After he had spoken for a few minutes about leaks, Reince Priebus leaned in through the door by the grandfather clock and I could see a group of people waiting behind him. The President waved at him to close the door, saying he would be done shortly. The door closed.

The President then returned to the topic of Mike Flynn, saying, “He is a good guy and has been through a lot.” He repeated that Flynn hadn’t done anything wrong on his calls with the Russians, but had misled the Vice President. He then said, “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.” I replied only that “he is a good guy.” (In fact, I had a positive experience dealing with Mike Flynn when he was a colleague as Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency at the beginning of my term at FBI.) I did not say I would “let this go.”

I immediately prepared an unclassified memo of the conversation about Flynn and discussed the matter with FBI senior leadership. I had understood the President to be requesting that we drop any investigation of Flynn in connection with false statements about his conversations with the Russian ambassador in December. I did not understand the President to be talking about the broader investigation into Russia or possible links to his campaign. I could be wrong, but I took him to be focusing on what had just happened with Flynn’s departure and the controversy around his account of his phone calls. Regardless, it was very concerning, given the FBI’s role as an independent investigative agency.

Further, Comey will testify he was concerned about the President crossing a line of independence with the FBI by repeatedly asking him whether or not he wanted to keep his job. From his statement:

The President and I had dinner on Friday, January 27 at 6:30 pm in the Green Room at the White House. He had called me at lunchtime that day and invited me to dinner that night, saying he was going to invite my whole family, but decided to have just me this time, with the whole family coming the next time. It was unclear from the conversation who else would be at the dinner, although I assumed there would be others. It turned out to be just the two of us, seated at a small oval table in the center of the Green Room.

The President began by asking me whether I wanted to stay on as FBI Director, which I found strange because he had already told me twice in earlier conversations that he hoped I would stay, and I had assured him that I intended to.

He said that lots of people wanted my job and, given the abuse I had taken during the previous year, he would understand if I wanted to walk away. My instincts told me that the one-on-one setting, and the pretense that this was our first discussion about my position, meant the dinner was, at least in part, an effort to have me ask for my job and create some sort of patronage relationship. That concerned me greatly, given the FBI’s traditionally independent status in the executive branch.

I replied that I loved my work and intended to stay and serve out my ten-year term as Director.

And then, because the set-up made me uneasy, I added that I was not “reliable” in the way politicians use that word, but he could always count on me to tell him the truth. I added that I was not on anybody’s side politically and could not be counted on in the traditional political sense, a stance I said was in his best interest as the President. A few moments later, the President said, “I need loyalty, I expect loyalty.” I didn’t move, speak, or change my facial expression in any way during the awkward silence that followed. We simply looked at each other in silence. The conversation then moved on, but he returned to the subject near the end of our dinner.

Jihadi Déjà Vu in London

0sbUPfg9VOrvg-pIBy-v23gCrG6_3rgdP0gX8BZ-8jV_ot0NeCQSq94eio2qmb4Hs3XT09VQuO8JS75iI5oBrirKJEurwFCVKJuPbhzZF0eHCIpgrQ3dlAElYuSp5A=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=

Ramadan is the Islamic holiday during which an increasing number of jihadi terrorists murder "infidels" with whatever means available — and they do so in high-profile venues to foment greater fear. Last weekend there was a London replay of an increasingly common slaughter scene, on the heels of the bombing two weeks ago in Manchester, and a similar attack three months ago in London. (Five other attacks have been thwarted.) In the most recent attack, three men drove a van into a crowd on London Bridge, and then jumped out with knives to stab more people, killing seven and wounding scores more. It wasn't Catholic nuns or extremist Presbyterians; it was Islamists bent on establishing a worldwide caliphate and killing as many infidels as possible in the name of their "god."

British Prime Minister Theresa May, facing an election this Thursday, minced no words. "Enough is enough," she declared, insisting that there is "far too much tolerance for extremism in our country." She insisted, not a minute too soon, "Things need to change," and she identified by name the "evil ideology of Islamist extremism."

Two days before the attack, London Mayor Sadiq Khan, a Muslim sharia apologist, protested Donald Trump's withdrawal from the Paris "climate change" charade, claiming that global warming is "one of the biggest risks to humanity." We challenge him to name a single London citizen who has been murdered by climate change — although given the Left's "creative causation" claims, maybe he will come up with one.

After the attack, Khan announced, "Londoners will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days. There is no reason to be alarmed by this." Trump responded, "At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is 'no reason to be alarmed!’" Indeed, UK citizens should be alarmed at the increased police presence because it is a visceral indicator of an increasing terrorist threat. The U.S. has already witnessed some of these vehicular attacks and there will be more to come in popular tourist venues. That is unless and until political leaders are willing to truly combat this rabid ideology. ~The Patriot Post

Russians Reveal Their Connection to liar-Hillary’s Campaign, Main Stream Media Totally Silent

by amorgan

{consjournal.com} ~ According to the latest from The Hill, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman said in an interview Sunday that the Russian ambassador who met with Trump campaign officials also met with “people working in think tanks advising liar-Hillary or advising people working for liar-Hillary.”... “Well, if you look at some people connected with liar-Hillary Clinton during her campaign, you would probably see that he had lots of meetings of that kind,” Dmitry Peskov told CNN “GPS” host Fareed Zakaria, implying it is the job of Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak to meet with officials on both sides to talk about “bilateral relations.” “But there were no meetings about elections — electoral process … So if you look at it with intention to demonize Russia, you would probably say that, yes, he was trying to interfere in liar-Hillary’s activities. But it would be nonsense, because this is not true,” Peskov said... http://consjournal.com/reveal-their-connection-to-hillarys-campaign-media-totally-silent/

Trey Gowdy (R-SC) may be President Donald Trump’s new choice to run the FBI, we’re now getting top media outlets confirming Gowdy will instead run the powerful House Oversight and Government Reform Committee... The reports claim Gowdy, who did not run for the position, will be selected by fellow members of the House due to his leadership abilities shown during investigations into liar-nObama White House scandals, including Benghazi and Fast and Furious. The committee, with broad subpoena powers, is tasked with rooting out government corruption and exposing it. Now, it looks like Gowdy will play a key role in helping President Trump drain the Washington, D.C. swamp!...http://thepoliticalinsider.com/trey-gowdy-will-run-house-overnight-committee-report/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=TPI-Newsletter-6-5-17-Afternoon&utm_campaign=TPI_Afternoon_060517_Newsletter&utm_content=4b4ea4948726422aa6473c7b9fa19141&source=CI

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ The Senate on Monday passed a resolution calling on President Trump to "abide by" provision of a 1995 law moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem... The provision was passed as part of a measure commemorating the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem, which followed the Six Day War in 1967. The Senate passed it in a 90-0 vote. Trump promised during his campaign that he would move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, but in a reversal, signed an order on June 1 keeping the embassy in Tel Aviv, at least for now. The White House said it delayed the move to improve the chances of reaching a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinian Authority...There will never be peace with the Palestinians. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/senate-passes-measure-calling-on-trump-to-move-us-embassy-to-jerusalem/article/2625016

Grassroots Group Begins

Filing to Defund CA Sanctuary Cities

by Mark Tapson

{truthrevolt.org} ~ Local paperwork has been filed to begin the process of defunding California sanctuary cities one by one, beginning with Cudahy, a city located in southeastern Los Angeles County that is populated predominantly by Latino immigrants... The Cudahy city council voted on January 6, 2015 to adopt a resolution declaring Cudahy a “Sanctuary City for Immigrants.” Breitbart reports that Joseph Turner, founder of American Children First, filed the paperwork last week under Prop 218 as a utility tax repeal that could deprive the small city of 13.5 percent of their general revenue funds, as part of a larger effort to defund sanctuary cities. By filing under Prop 218, Turner needs to gather a mere 62 signatures from city voters. He plans to move on next to file in Huntington Park, California, whose city council made national news when it appointed illegal aliens to their city commissions in 2015. Turner said he would need only 176 signatures in Huntington Park, also in southeastern Los Angeles County but twice the size of Cudahy... http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/grassroots-group-begins-filing-defund-ca-sanctuary-cities

The Left Won’t Rest Until Someone Gets Killed

by Derek Hunter
{townhall.com} ~ I’m old enough to remember when “violent rhetoric” was the root of all our problems, and crosshairs on a website no one ever saw was the reason for mass murder.

Of course, those were different times, times in which the president had a (D) after his name, not an evil (R). Since that important change happened, everything flipped – over-the-top rhetoric is no longer the domain of the fringe; it’s the currency of the mainstream media. Worse, it’s turned from heated political disagreement to paranoia and pure hatred, and it’s going to get someone killed.

The people on the political left didn’t just lose an election last November, they lost their minds. And their leadership has been exploiting that for power and profit ever since.

Immediately after their loss, Democrats did not turn introspective and try to discover why, after eight years of a personally popular president, voters across the country had rejected them in record numbers at every level of government. No, they turned in anger at those who beat them, and no one has had more of that anger directed at them than President Trump.

He’s the accidental president, in their minds, someone unworthy of even the basic respect for the office that used to be the norm in politics.

Worse, they are stoking fears to the point that even the casual observer is left with the impression they’re hoping someone “corrects” that accident.

How else can one interpret the left’s continual equating of the president to Adolf Hitler? What is implied in saying the man’s actions on an otherwise insignificant international agreement “is a grave threat to our planet?”

That last part was tweeted by none other than Nancy Pulosi to her more than 1 million followers.

Billionaire liberal financier and green energy profiteer Tom Steyer said pulling the US out of the Paris accord would “be committing a traitorous act of war against the American people.”

Supposed journalists stripped clear all standards to proclaim their outrage. “Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Rick Perry & Steve Bannon walk into a bar & the bar is the earth & it overheats & we all die,” was but one example of their calm “analysis.”

Celebrities and politicians all pronounced the president to be an enemy of the planet, of the people; a threat to life itself.

The Huffington Post declared, “Trump To Planet: Drop Dead.”

All this was made more ironic by the fact this gaggle of pearl clutchers had, just a few years ago, accused Sarah Palin of inciting the deadly shooting in Tucson that gravely injured former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords.

HuffPo itself ran a piece entitled, “Words Have Consequences,” which preached on the dangers of over-the-top rhetoric. It read:

Today we have seen the results of this rhetoric. Those with a megaphone, whether provided by public office or a media outlet, have responsibilities. They cannot avoid the consequences of their blatant efforts to inflame, anger, and outrage. We all know that there are unstable and potentially dangerous people among us. To repeatedly appeal to their basest instincts is to invite and welcome their predictable violence.

Of course, we hadn’t “seen the results” of anything of the sort. The killer was a left-wing rabid hater of President George W. Bush who’d never seen the “crosshairs” on Palin’s website and most likely hated her just as much.

But if liberals believed what they were saying back then, what does it tell us about what they’re hoping for now? There’s really only one conclusion to draw: They want blood, literal blood.

Be it declaring the president a traitor, equating him with history’s greatest monster, or a danger to the continued existence of our species, the political left clearly wishes him and anyone who agrees with him on any issue to be a threat. And, in the mind of the unstable, threats, especially on that scale, must be eliminated.

Maybe they aren’t doing it consciously – though that I find somewhat difficult to believe given their insistence on the risk of heated rhetoric in the past. No, they want blood.

When Kathy Griffin made a sick video of her holding the fake severed head of President Trump, Secret Service agents didn’t reach out to her because they feared she was on the verge of scaling the White House gates to murder the president. They had to convey to her that her video could set off an unstable person believing it was a message to them, a call to arms.

After all, the head of the greatest threat to humanity, dripping with blood in a video straight out of the ISIS playbook, isn’t exactly a subtle message on its own. When marinated in the toxic media, rabid college campus and progressive political culture, it’s a dare. It’s a challenge. It’s a plea.

Leftists will say this is crazy, that their disagreements are genuine and their rhetoric is simply a reflection of the times and the president’s own words. That Trump ratcheted up the tone, not them. They have short memories for their own hypocrisy and their attempts to smear blood on their opponents’ hands after every tragedy. Or at least they hope the American people do.

Maybe they do. But that won’t absolve them if their chickens come home to roost.

It may not be an attack on the president they inspire. Maybe it’ll be a speaker on a college campus, or a member of Congress, or a local city council. Whatever the case, the hatred they’re stoking is boiling, and for the sake of fundraising and to appease their base, they’re more than happy to turn up the heat.

If they don’t mean for something awful to happen, let’s hope they find a piece of whatever conscience they have left and dial it down before someone gets hurt. That is, of course, dependent upon something awful happening not being part of their plan.

{rickwells.us} ~ The Senate Judiciary Committee, under Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has launched yet another investigation into the criminal activity of liar-Hillary Clinton... this time involving abusing her position as Secretary of State to pressure A Bangladeshi official to drop an internal investigation. Maybe this time, with James Comey, Loretta Lynch and Hussein liar-nObama out of the way, she’ll finally see the justice that has been so elusive to this point. The alleged offenses relate to a Bangladesh government corruption investigation of Muhammad Yunus. liar-Clinton is reported by the Daily Caller to have sent top US diplomats to pressure Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheik Hasina and her son Sajeeb Wazed to kill the investigation of Yunus and Grameen Bank, the state-owned bank where Yunus was then managing director. In a letter to Secretary of State Tillerson on June 1st, Grassley wrote alerting him of the allegations being made, which included threats by liar-Clinton against Wazed of an IRS tax audit if his mother didn’t drop the investigation.

Some call on their flock to kill Jews, Christians and "infidel" Muslims who do not adhere either to the strictest interpretation of Islam. Others justify the marriage of grown men to nine-year-old girls. There are those, too, who defend the spousal "right" of husbands to rape their wives. Contrary to some claims, the type of clerics who preach murder and sexual abuse in North American and European mosques do not suffer from poor socioeconomic conditions and are not mentally unbalanced. Rather, they are loyal followers of an interpretation of Islam that envisions the establishment of a worldwide caliphate governed by sharia law.

The head of Iran's nuclear program recently announced the Islamic Republic could mass produce advanced nuclear centrifuges capable of more quickly enriching uranium, the key component in a nuclear weapon.

Dems would do it, no doubt!” Mr. Trump has a point. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said the Senate will not abandon the filibuster rule, which requires the consent of 60 senators to advance legislation to a vote. “There’s not a single senator in the majority who thinks we ought to change the legislative filibuster,” Mr. McConnell said in April. “Not one.” But there are compelling reasons to consider the idea. It is true that there is a workaround, a procedure known as “budget reconciliation,” which many Republicans believe will enable them to achieve their policy objectives with 51 votes... http://www.aei.org/publication/the-filibuster-is-not-a-suicide-pact/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=060517

by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Dan Bongino addresses the media coup that is underway in the United States against this President and the American people, the leftist propaganda that has been substituted for news and the absence of reporting on major stories that negatively impact their political comrades. Specifically, the spying on another GOP presidential candidate and US Senator, Lindsey Graham, as well as the silence on the subpoenaing of John Brennan, Susan Rice and Samantha Power by the House Intelligence Committee. Nowhere has that story appeared on the liberal media.

Bongino compares the procedure that law enforcement officers must go through in obtaining a warrant or personal information on suspected criminals, such as bank records, emails, credit card statements or private conversations. Now, if you’re of the opposition party to the former pretend ‘president,’ any political appointee hack like Susan Rice can just make a secret request and deprive a decorated General like Mike Flynn of his constitutional protections that are freely afforded killers, thieves, kidnappers and rapists.

He speaks to the audience telling them, “If you believe in this Trump – Russia fairy tale, you’re being scammed, you’re being hoodwinked, you’re being made a fool of by the Democrat media complex that has already admitted multiple times, Senator Dianne Feinstein, multiple people, ‘credible’ Democrats who have already admitted up on the hill, listen to me – there’s no evidence!”

Bongino says, “They’re, you’re making this up. Look, you’re making this whole thing up. You are embarrassing the country in order to engage in an ideological fight because you’re really upset you lost an election. You clowns, it’s time to move on. This is outrageous what’s happening right now.”

He’s also got some strong views on the politicizing by the same Democrats of the World Trade Center site by lighting up the Freedom Tower spire in “climate green” as a protest to our extricating ourselves from the Paris climate hoax.

Bongino asks “who the goofball is that thought that was a good idea. That is sacred ground. It’s not a thirty second campaign ad, you don’t go up there and post a sign or a color to stand with the international community. You stand with the United States. The United States was attacked on that day. It’s not a cheap campaign commercial. Shut that down.”

There are those who would argue that the same forces which are silencing America’s constitutional right to a free press are those who are also spying on their political opposition, who orchestrated the destruction of the four buildings and four planes on 9/11, and who are now lighting the Freedom Tower in green.

With the point raised that it was comrade Red Bill de Blasio who ordered the disgusting display, Bongino quips, “Next he’ll have it colored red for the communist flag. Is he kidding me? That was a terrible idea.”

She was told by someone, probably her boss at the Brookings Institution, to expect a call from their friend George and to study the scripts he was handing her, along with a list of questions she was going to be asked. The liar-nObama administration’s “security professional,” who was personally spying on the GOP presidential candidates on behalf of the Muslim pretend “president,” did her homework. Armed with her disinformation, she went out to distort the truth, to tell her lies in support of the deep state and the previous, now-shadow administration.

by Ari Lieberman
{frontpagemag.com} ~ It has become routine for Palestinians to name public places, including streets, schools, parks and public squares after hard core terrorists convicted of the most heinous offenses. Over the years, Israel has vigorously protested these outrages to the European Union, the United Nations, and the United States. The latter, particularly under the liar-nObama administration, offered faux sympathy and little else, while the UN and EU were routinely dismissive of Israel’s objections. In the eyes of the UN and EU, the Palestinians could do no wrong and the liar-nObama administration, by its deafening silence, gravitated toward this obscene position. This shocking inaction further encouraged the Palestinians to engage in what can only be described as depraved and aberrant behavior.

But on May 28, something strange but surprisingly decent happened at the UN. UN Secretary-General António Guterres issued a stinging rebuke to the Palestinian Authority for naming a women’s center after Dalal Mughrabi, a notorious terrorist. In 1978, Mughrabi along with seven other Arab terrorists commandeered a bus packed with civilians and mercilessly murdered 37 people, including 12 children.

For the Palestinians, this act of debauchery warranted praise and Mughrabi was elevated to the status of heroine and martyr. On May 26, the watchdog group, Palestinian Media Watch revealed that a women’s center named after Mughrabi in the Arab town of Burqa was constructed with funds provided by the UN and Norway. A prominent sign posted on the building bore the logos of the Palestinian Authority, the UN and Norway. Worse yet, PMW quoted a village council member who stated that “the center will focus especially on the history of the struggle of Martyr Dalal Mughrabi and on presenting it to the youth groups, and…constitutes the beginning of the launch of enrichment activities regarding the history of the Palestinian struggle.”

Upon learning of the outrage, a spokesperson for Guterres released a statement that termed the naming “offensive” and “unacceptable” and described it as a “glorification of terrorism” and an “obstacle to peace.” Guterres also demanded the immediate removal of the UN’s logo. Just two days prior, Norway issued a similar rebuke to the Palestinian Authority demanding not only the removal of the Norwegian logo but the return of all Norwegian funds earmarked for the project.

A statement released by Borge Brende, Norway’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, was unusually harsh in tone and content. It called the Palestinian “glorification of terrorist attacks…completely unacceptable” and noted that “Norway will not allow itself to be associated with institutions that take the names of terrorists in this way [and] will not accept the use of Norwegian aid funding for such purposes.”

So what led to this sudden, drastic change in attitude? There are likely three causes.

Unlike his predecessor Ban Ki-moon, Guterres has made statements and taken actions demonstrating a more balanced, nuanced approach to the Arab-Israeli conflict. For example in March, he rejected a UN report authored by an Israel-hating conspiracy theorist that peddled the banal and false claim that Israel practices apartheid and had the report removed from the UN’s website. Shortly thereafter, a top official that headed the commission which issued the report resigned. That same month, he publicly reiterated recognition of ancient historical and religious Jewish ties to Jerusalem. This was seen as a rebuke to UN bodies like UNESCO, which had sought to sever that nexus. In an address to the World Jewish Congress in April, Guterres stated that “Israel needs to be treated like any other UN member state,” and tellingly noted that, “the modern form of anti-Semitism is the denial of the existence of the State of Israel.”

In addition, the relentless surge of radical Islamic terrorism in Europe has likely produced an increased level of empathy with Israel. Moreover, nations affected by terrorism have reached out to Israel and sought its expertise. Only the most radical and anti-Semitic of Europe’s leaders, like Sweden’s Deputy Prime Minister Margot Wallström and British Labor Party head, Jeremy Corbyn, still differentiate between Israeli blood and blood spilled in Western Europe.

But perhaps the single most influential factor for the positive change in attitude lies with President Donald Trump and America’s ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley. From the moment he was elected, Trump made clear that he would no longer tolerate the UN’s inequitable practices and shoddy treatment of Israel. He could not have picked a better emissary than Nikki Haley to carry out America’s new and robust approach toward rectifying a long-standing, systemic UN problem.

At every opportunity and in every forum and venue, Haley has made clear that the United States will not sit idly by while one of its most important allies and only Mideast democracy is mercilessly attacked and vilified by assorted despots and dictators, while other nations with abysmal human rights records are allowed to go unchallenged. Haley has made clear to UN member states that “there’s a new sheriff in town” and that sheriff is “taking names.”

Judging by this past week’s swift action by the UN Secretary General and Norway, it appears that the Trump-Haley, one-two combo is having the desired effect. Haley’s continued pressure at the UN is all but certain to produce more positive outcomes but it is still an uphill battle given the level of long-standing and embedded vitriol which still prevails in that cesspool of depravity.

{thesleuthjournal.com} ~ The North Korea provocation is dominating the attention of the media and many people around the world, who are fearful the tensions between North Korea and the US may erupt into a war... If China gets involved and let’s face it – how can China not get involved if fighting breaks out on the Korean peninsula which is right on its doorstep?, we could be into a World War 3 scenario with the US on one side and China and therefore Russia on the other. The term North Korea provocation itself is ambiguous, because it could imply that the North Korea is the active party doing the provoking, or it could imply that North Korea is the passive party being provoked. History clearly shows wherever Team USA is involved, the American political and military elite are always at least partly and usually fully the active agents doing the provoking, although they do a masterful job of spinning it to trick you into thinking the other party is the crazy, unlawful and aggressive one. So what’s the background and context to the current North Korean provocation?... http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/north-korea-provocation-youre-not-told/

Campaign Promise Kept as Trump Exits Paris Climate

Deal

By Allyne Caan: An American in Paris no more. President Donald Trump announced the U.S. exit from the Paris climate agreement Thursday afternoon in a welcome instance of a campaign promise kept. "In order to fulfill my solemn duty to protect America and its citizens, the United States will withdraw from the Paris climate accord," Trump said, while leaving open the possibility of renegotiating a better deal. "We're going to have the cleanest air. We're going to have the cleanest water. We will be environmentally friendly. But we're not going to put our businesses out of work. We're not going to lose our jobs." And in acknowledgment of who brung him to the dance, he said, "I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris."

Given that the U.S. entered the agreement only thanks to Barack liar-nObama's strategically skirting the Senate, it's worth revisiting why this ~~treaty~~ deal was a ridiculous farce from the start. Claiming the 195-nation deal was simply an executive agreement, liar-nObama made the pact in the waning days of his administration. On the campaign trail, Trump vowed to un-make it.

As we explained last year, the Paris agreement was a UN scheme to cut global greenhouse gas emissions to keep earth's temperature increases "well below" two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial times, as opposed to the projected three-degree increase the world would otherwise see by 2100. Yep, a costly international agreement for an ineffective one degree.

And that's just the stated goal. The real agenda, of course, is statist control of the world's economy — control that would just happen to benefit Europe and China at the expense of the United States.

The Daily Signal notes, "If carried out, the energy regulations agreed to in Paris by the liar-nObama administration would destroy hundreds of thousands of jobs, harm American manufacturing, and destroy $2.5 trillion in gross domestic product by the year 2035."

Trump critics and the media (but we repeat ourselves) are in an uproar at the exit, with the press quick to point out the only other non-participating countries are Syria and Nicaragua. As if the U.S. under Trump's leadership is now comparable to Syria under Bashar al-Assad. Clearly, these critics missed the childhood lesson, "If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump off, too?"

liar-Hillary Clinton comically went further in her reasoning, stating, "Part of what keeps us going is that America's word is good, and that you stand with your prior administration whether it was of your party or not." Yep, just like liar-nObama stood by everything George W. Bush did.

Speaking of liar-nObama, he once again eschewed the humble example of his predecessor in blasting his successor. "It was steady, principled American leadership on the world stage that made [the Paris agreement] possible," he boasted of himself. Then, using his familiar tripe, he accused Trump of joining "a small handful of nations that reject the future." Finally, he turned to a cynical call for "hope": "But even in the absence of American leadership; even as this Administration joins a small handful of nations that reject the future; I'm confident that our states, cities, and businesses will step up and do even more to lead the way, and help protect for future generations the one planet we've got."

The Wall Street Journal rebutted succinctly: "Leadership is not defined as the U.S. endorsing whatever other world leaders have already decided they want to do, and the U.S. is providing a better model in any case. Private economies that can innovate and provide cost-effective energy alternatives will always beat meaningless international agreements."

Indeed, for all its costly restrictions, the Paris climate agreement is somewhat of a joke. As National Review's Rich Lowry wrote prior to Trump's decision, "The treaty's advocates, hoping to forestall a Trump exit, are trying to save the accord by arguing that it is largely meaningless. In this spirit, a piece on the liberal website Vox explained, the Paris accord 'asks participants only to state what they are willing to do and to account for what they've done. It is, in a word, voluntary.'"

The deal has little enforcement mechanism. As Hot Air's Ed Morrissey notes, the agreement "basically allows each nation to write its own rules, and then decide what enforcement and reporting will look like." Thus, he explains, "The idea is that nations will compete to look super-greeny, and the laggards will get so ashamed of their foot-dragging that they'll finally comply."

But make no mistake: Current carrots would become sticks before long. The Left's objective is always to tighten the screws, and this agreement would become more restrictive over time.

Of course, some companies see their own super-greeny photo-ops as good for their bottom lines, so they oppose bidding Paris adieu. As Rosebud Mining CEO Cliff Forrest writes for the Wall Street Journal, "The commercial interests that strongly support the Paris Agreement typically have created programs to exploit, game or merely pass through the costs of the climate-change agenda. Many also maintain a green pose for marketing purposes." Yet, Forrest adds, "It seems that Paris backers hope for a sudden public amnesia about the many businesses that use government to push out smaller competitors."

And as Heritage Foundation policy analyst Katie Tubb notes, "Big business and big government often go hand-in-hand. Big businesses generally can absorb and adapt to the costs of complying with burdensome regulation, of which Paris is a wellspring. Smaller companies have a much harder time complying, which means less competition for big business."

Of course, now that Trump has made the U.S. exit from Paris official, climate-change alarmists and the media (but again, we repeat ourselves) are eviscerating him based on their tyrannical pseudo-science that permits no debate, only agreement. But it was high time to leave this absurd deal behind. ~The Patriot Post

by Judge Andrew Napolitano

{townhall.com} ~ "The makers of our Constitution ... conferred, as against the Government, the right to be let alone -- the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men." -- Justice Louis D. Brandeis, 1928

After the Watergate era had ended and Jimmy Carter was in the White House and the Senate's Church Committee had attempted to grasp the full extent of lawless government surveillance in America during the LBJ and Nixon years, Congress passed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. FISA declared that it provided the sole source for federal surveillance in America for intelligence purposes.

FISA required that all domestic intelligence surveillance be authorized by a newly created court, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. Since 1978, FISC has met in secret. Its records are unavailable to the public unless it determines otherwise, and it hears only from Department of Justice lawyers and National Security Agency personnel. There are no lawyers or witnesses to challenge the DOJ or the NSA.

Notwithstanding this handy constitutional novelty, the NSA quickly grew impatient with its monitors and began crafting novel arguments that were met with no resistance. Those arguments did away with the kind of particularized probable cause about targets of surveillance that the Constitution requires in favor of warrants based on the probability that someone somewhere in a given group could provide intelligence data helpful to national security, and because the FISC bought these arguments, the entire group could be spied upon. The FISC unleashed the NSA to spy on tens of millions of Americans.

That was still not enough for the nation's spies. So beginning in 2005, then-President George W. Bush permitted the NSA to interpret President Ronald Reagan's executive order 12333 so as to allow all spying on everyone in the U.S., all the time. The NSA and Bush took the position that because the president is constitutionally the commander in chief of the military and because the NSA is in the military, both the president and the NSA are lawfully independent of FISA.

The NSA does not acknowledge any of this, but we know from the Edward Snowden revelations and from the testimony of a former high-ranking NSA official who devised many of the NSA programs that this is so.

The NSA's use of FISC-issued warrants is only one of a half-dozen tools that the NSA uses, but it is the only tool that the NSA publicly acknowledges. FISC-issued warrants do not name a person as a suspect; they name a category. For example, it could be customers of Verizon, which includes 115 million people. It could be telephones and computers located at 721-725 Fifth Ave. in New York; that's Trump Tower. It could be all electronic devices in the 10036 ZIP code; that's midtown Manhattan.

When the NSA obtains a FISA warrant and captures a communication, the participants often mention a third person. The federal "minimization" statute requires the NSA to get a warrant before surveilling that third person. Last week, we learned that last month, the FISC rebuked the NSA for failing to minimize by continuing to surveil third parties to the sixth degree without warrants.

Here is an example of warrantless surveillance to the sixth degree. The NSA surveils A and B pursuant to a FISC-issued warrant; A and B discuss C; the NSA, without a warrant, surveils C talking to D; C mentions E, and D mentions F; the NSA surveils E and F without warrants, etc. This continues going out to six stops from the A-and-B conversation, even though this is prohibited by federal law. The final stop, which involves huge numbers of people, has been proved to have no connection whatsoever to the warrant issued for A and B, yet the NSA continues to spy there.

But it doesn't stop there. The Bush interpretation of EO 12333 is still followed by the NSA. Its logic -- "I am the commander in chief, and I'll do what I need to do to keep us safe, and the NSA can do what I permit" -- permits universal surveillance in flagrant violation of FISA and the Constitution. It was used to justify the surveillance of Donald Trump before he was inaugurated. It no doubt still is.

The availability of the information acquired by this massive spying is a serious threat to democracy. We know from the Susan Rice admissions that folks in the government can acquire intelligence-generated data -- emails, text messages, recordings of telephone conversations -- and use that data for political purposes. Just ask former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. And we know from recent tragedies in San Bernardino and Orlando, even Manchester, that the NSA is suffering from information overload. It has too much data to sift through because it does not focus on the bad guys until after the tragedies. Before the tragedies, it has no focus.

The now public rebuke of the NSA by the FISC is extraordinary, but it is also a farce. The FISC is virtually owned by the NSA. That court has granted 99.9 percent of requests made by the NSA since the court was created. Despite all the public revelations, the FISC looks the other way at non-FISC-authorized NSA spying. The judges of the FISC have become virtual clerks for the NSA. And the FISC has become an unconstitutional joke.

Where does all this leave us? It leaves us with a public recognition that we are the most spied-upon people in world history and that the president himself has been a victim. This fall, the NSA will ask Congress to reauthorize certain spying authorities that are due to expire at the end of the year. Congress needs to know just how unconstitutional, intrusive and fruitless all this spying has become.

Perhaps then Congress will write laws that are faithful to the Constitution -- and if so, maybe the folks empowered by those laws will follow them.
