Media Editors:  Budget & Economy


SPENDING BILL CLEARS HOUSE: “The House approved new budget limits Thursday, surging spending and debt over the next two years — though the vote showed a growing rebellion among Republicans over surging deficits and President Trump’s willingness to sign hefty funding increases. … The final vote tally was 284-149, with more than 90% of Democrats backing it. More than two-thirds of Republicans defied Mr. Trump and opposed the bill.” (The Washington Times)

TARIFF COUNTERBALANCE: “The U.S. government will pay American farmers hurt by the trade war with China between $15 and $150 per acre in an aid package totaling $16 billion, officials said on Thursday, with farmers in the South poised to see higher rates than in the Midwest. The assistance, starting in mid-to-late August, follows Republican President Donald Trump’s $12 billion package last year that was aimed at making up for lower farm good prices and lost sales.” (Reuters)

2Q GROWTH SLOWS: “Growth decelerated in the second quarter, but not by as much as Wall Street thought, as tariffs and a global slowdown weighed on the U.S. economy, the Commerce Department reported Friday. GDP increased 2.1%, down from 3.1% from the first quarter, and the weakest increase since the first quarter of 2017 when President Donald Trump took office.” (CNBC)

MPG DETOUR: “Four major automakers have reached a deal with California to toughen standards for gas mileage and greenhouse gas emissions, bypassing the Trump administration’s push to relax mileage standards nationwide instead. Ford, BMW, Honda and Volkswagen signed the deal with the California Air Resources Board, the state’s air pollution regulator, which had been at odds with the Trump administration for months, in a contest that automakers fear could set up years of confusion and litigation in the industry.” (Associated Press)

CLIMATE-PLAN BOONDOGGLES: “Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D., N.Y.) released her ‘moonshot’ plan to address climate change on Thursday, calling for $10 trillion in spending over the next decade,” The Washington Free Beacon reports. In the same manner, “Tom Steyer, the newest entrant to the presidential race, introduced a climate change plan Thursday night that is more aggressive than most of his competitors,” according to the Washington Examiner. “Steyer aims for the U.S. to cut ‘fossil fuel pollution’ from all economic sectors to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the entire economy by 2045, a faster timeline than major Democratic candidates have proposed except Jay Inslee, who has set the same date. … He projects his plan to cost $2.3 trillion in government spending.”

National Security


IRAN MISSILE TEST: “Iran successfully test-fired a medium-range ballistic missile Wednesday which flew more than 600 miles from the southern part of the country to an area outside the capital. … It was not clear whether Wednesday’s test was in violation of any sanctions against Iran. The 2015 nuclear deal did not address Iran’s conventional missile program.” (Fox News)

NEW JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF CHAIRMAN: “The Senate on Thursday confirmed Gen. Mark A. Milley to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, replacing Gen. Joseph Dunford as the Pentagon’s top uniformed officer and filling another key post at the top of the military command.” (The Washington Times)

RECORD BORDER FIGURES: “A record 61,000 unaccompanied migrant children have surged over the U.S.-Mexico border and been handed to federal care facilities since October, and there are still over two months left in the fiscal year, according to immigration officials. The number tops the total for fiscal year 2016, at 59,170 turned over to the Department of Health and Human Services.” (Washington Examiner)

Other Notables


GOOGLE SUED: “Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), a 2020 presidential contender, is suing Google over claims that the tech behemoth violated her right to "free speech.” In a federal complaint filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Gabbard alleged Google censored her presidential campaign when it suspended their advertising account for several hours last month.“ (The Hill)

Mueller Testimony Called ‘Disaster for the 
Democrats’ and ‘the Reputation of 
Robert Mueller’ by Chris Wallace

By Jack Davis  
{ westernjournal.com } ~ Fox News host Chris Wallace did not mince words Wednesday morning as he assessed the debacle of former special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony to Congress... “This has been a disaster for Democrats and for the reputation of Robert Mueller,” the “Fox News Sunday” host said as part of Fox’s live coverage of Mueller’s appearance. Mueller was appointed by the Justice Department in May 2017 to investigate allegations that the campaign of Donald Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 presidential election. The far-ranging investigation ended almost two years later, with Mueller admitting that there was no collusion. The report Mueller authored left open the issue of whether Trump — who opposed the investigation — obstructed justice by not fully cooperating. House Democrats, who have been stymied in various investigations of Trump, summoned Mueller to testify in hopes that he could provide material that might be the foundation of an obstruction or impeachment case against the president. Wallace said Democrats have come up empty. His conclusion was shared in a tweet from Trump. Wallace highlighted a comment from Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe of Texas, who attacked Mueller’s contention that he could not exonerate Trump. “Which DOJ policy or principal sets forth a legal standard that an investigated person is not exonerated if their innocence from criminal conduct is not conclusively determined?” Ratcliffe asked, according to The Hill. Ratcliffe asked for an example aside from Mueller’s own investigation. “I cannot, but this is a unique situation,” Mueller said...

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ Robert Mueller's performance in front of Congressional committees should mark the end of special counsels, special prosecutors, independent counsels and the like... These hearings demonstrated, if any further demonstration was required, how dangerous it was to go outside of the normal processes of criminal justice. Ordinary prosecutors are not allowed to comment about why they decided not to prosecute the subject of an investigation. The Mueller Report, when made public, violated that salutary tradition. It contained negative information about people, including the president, who will have no opportunity to respond in a legal proceeding. The report and the testimony introduced the novel and dangerous concept into our legal vocabulary: "Not exonerated." This concept, which finds no basis in the rules of the Justice Department or the Special Counsel, is a variation on the nefarious theme articulated by the disgraced former FBI director, scumbag-James Comey, when he went beyond announcing that scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton would not be prosecuted, and expressed his opinion that she had been extremely careless in her treatment of emails. This statement said, in effect, that scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton was not being exonerated. Mueller's testimony was confused and confusing on many scores. He couldn't explain why he had reached a formal decision on conspiracy with Russia but had failed to reach a formal conclusion about obstruction of justice. He had to pull back on his answer to whether the decision not to charge the President was based on a Justice Department policy against indicting a sitting president. There was no explainable pattern as to why he chose to answer some questions while declining to answer others. He seemed not to be familiar with the contents of the Report that bears his name. It was almost as if he had signed his name to the Report without carefully reading or understanding it. The night before Mueller's testimony, I was asked on a TV show whether it was a Hail Mary pass thrown by the Democrats. I predicted that it would be an intercepted pass. I was right. Even many Democratic stalwarts viewed the Mueller testimony as harmful to their cause. As a liberal Democrat, I share that view and it doesn't please me. But as a patriotic American, I care far more about the implications of the Mueller testimony for all Americans and for the rule of law...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/14595/office-of-special-counsel

Things are heating up between Israel 
and Hezbollah in the Golan

{ jpost.com } ~ It’s been a hot summer in the Golan. And it’s not only the weather. The past week alone saw two deadly attacks against Iranian proxies in southern Syria attributed to Israel... Earlier this week an explosion killed Hezbollah operative Mashour Zidan in southern Syria and a few days later a rocket struck the strategic Tel Haraa site not far from where Zidan was killed. Israel has remained mum on the attacks, but the Jewish State has made it clear that it won’t accept Hezbollah’s growing presence in the Syrian Golan. But Assad, along with Iranian backed troops, retook the Golan last summer, so what’s changed? According to Phillip Smyth, the Soref Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, the buildup of local forces by Iran and Hezbollah is a major aspect that has been overlooked. “Hezbollah doesn’t want to have to execute an entire war on its own in southern Syria. It’s much easier to apply plausible deniability and harder to bust a Hezbollah cell if they are locals,” he told The Jerusalem Post, adding that they have taken a slightly different approach and being very pragmatic in terms of who they recruit. Zidan, a Druze resident from the village of Hadar, is believed to have been a senior Hezbollah operative responsible for recruiting volunteers from villages near the border with Israel as part of Hezbollah’s Golan File.Senior intelligence officers in the IDF’s Northern Command said that Hezbollah’s Golan Project began last summer following the reconquering of the Syrian Golan by regime troops. Operatives involved in the clandestine file have weaponry available from the civil war and if needed, will receive additional weaponry from Lebanon or existing arsenals kept by Hezbollah and Iran.  “Hezbollah knows that Israel is watching, so they are being much more covert than in the past,” Smyth said, adding that they are using more local forces rather than sending brigades of Lebanese fighters to the area.  Military success in Syria has also allowed Hezbollah to redeploy senior operatives and troops to the area as well as southern Lebanon. The group’s leader Hassan Nasrallah has said as much himself in a speech in mid-July...

{ frontpagemag.com } ~ Frequently Americans who understand the true significance of our immigration laws and need for secure borders lament that the Left appeals to the emotions of Americans... The emotion that is most often cited is that of compassion. Americans are among the most kind-hearted and generous people on earth.  Therefore appeals to compassion can be very effective. Frequently we make decisions either based on emotions or reason. Generally emotional decisions ignore cold, hard facts. Consequently the Radical Left, the media and globalist immigration anarchists have weaponized compassion using our best intentions against us, always portraying illegal aliens in the most sympathetic ways possible. While many illegal aliens are simply desperate people who want to flee the grinding poverty of their home countries to come to the United States for a better life. However the United States does not have infinite resources. We need to compare the United States to an overcrowded lifeboat that is tossed in a storm with many other people thrashing about in the cold water. The problem is that if we permit those in the water onto the lifeboat, it will capsize. Simply stated, uncontrolled immigration is an invasion that will quickly overwhelm our nation’s economy and infrastructure.  Overcrowding our schools has a deleterious impact on the education our children receive. Flooding America with millions of additional aliens impacts the price and available of housing, driving up prices while the massive influx of competing foreign workers frequently displaces Americans and drives down wages. This causes massive increases in homelessness across the United States...  https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/274348/lefts-immigration-con-job-michael-cutler

Goliath's birthplace believed to be unearthed 
below ancient Philistine city

‘David Giving Thanks to God After the Death of Goliath’   
by SONIA EPSTEIN
{ jpost.com } ~ Archaeologists have discovered remains more ancient and impressive than those previously discovered at the Philistine city of Gath... where the giant Philistine warrior Goliath was born and once lived. Previous excavations at the site, known as Tell es-Safi, uncovered ruins dating to the 9th and 10th centuries BCE, but the new discovery suggests that the city of Gath was at its height in the 11th century BCE, during Goliath’s time. Goliath was the Philistine whom David of Bethlehem, the eventual second king of Israel and Judah, famously defeated in single combat (1 Samuel: 17.) Together with Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdod and Ekron, Gath was one of the five Philistine cities until its fall in c. 830 BCE at the hands of the Aramean king Hazael. While archaeologists have known for decades that Tell es-Safi contained the ruins of Goliath’s birthplace, the recent discovery beneath a pre-existing site reveals that his native city was a place of even greater architectural grandeur than the Gath of a century later. For Prof. Aren Maeir of Bar-Ilan University’s archaeology department, who directed the discovery at Tell es-Safi, the findings offer a way to make sense of the biblical accounts of massive giants like Goliath when no archaeological evidence exists to verify them. “There are no skeletons of people who are taller than NBA centers,” Maeir said. He suggested instead that the mythical stories of the Bible reflect how a society allegorizes the accomplishments of its ancestors, as seen through the massive structures they left behind. “Gath was the largest city in the land of that time, and seems to have had very, very impressive architecture,” Maeir said. “The Philistines were the dominant culture in the region, both politically and militarily and probably culturally.” The memory of this dominance, he said, accompanied by the presence of the society’s physical remains, inspired the tradition that the inhabitants of Gath were giants, a theme that appears in other biblical tales as well. “When people see remains of very impressive architecture and say, ‘Wow! How could someone have built that?’ one of the explanations they sometimes offer is, ‘This must have been done by giants of the past,’” he said. Maeir, who has been studying the Tell es-Safi site for 23 years, found impressive remains from many cultures but from the city of Gath in particular. “One of the nice things about excavations at this site – and archaeology in general – is that every time you excavate, there are surprises,” Maeir said. “Up until now, we thought that Gath was the largest of the Philistine cities in the 10th and the 9th centuries BCE, and the find that we have now may indicate that it was also the largest in the 11th century BCE. There are things that you thought you knew, but new discoveries tell you, ‘There’s something new here.’”

Promise Exceeded: Trump's 
Deregulatory Record

Nate Jackson:  The national debt will continue to rise under the new deal struck by President Donald Trump and congressional leaders Monday. No one in Washington cares about the debt, and too many voters are in the same boat. But the U.S. economy is still growing in spite of this massive burden, and one big reason for that is another part of Trump’s agenda: deregulation.
 

The Republican tax cuts — which every single Democrat opposed and has spent two years lying about — spurred economic growth not seen during the doldrums of the Barack scumbag/liar-nObama years. Regulation is a form of taxation, adding hidden costs to nearly everything Americans produce, buy, and do. Thus, when Trump cuts regulations, he is again cutting taxes, and that helps the economy.

Better yet, he’s been doing it even faster than he promised he would. On the campaign trail, Trump pledged to cut two scumbag/liar-nObama-era regulations for every new one imposed. “We’ve hit 13 to 1,” said Russ Vought, deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget. And doing so has saved American taxpayers $33 billion, as well as spurring a projected rise in household income of $3,100 over the next few years.

Every Democrat presidential candidate promises to undo that progress.

According to Mick Mulvaney, acting White House chief of staff, it’s the president’s “real-world experience” in business that formed his deregulatory worldview. Unlike scumbag/liar-nObama, Trump actually had a job in the private sector, where he had to contend with onerous regulations. “The president has it because he had to go and pull a permit to build a building and deal with bureaucracy and doesn’t like that and knows why that impedes growth and impedes development, impedes creativity,” said Mulvaney. “It’s an extraordinarily commonsense approach.” An approach every American should appreciate from the central government.  ~The Patriot Post

Time to Wheel Robert Mueller Away
vnwpOEFPEN0EojDYWU1YApSg5N-pIh8lmVY4msXVcPTer7ZzZ5pc2t4pWvrY-PdHoHkhFm1D9Zw1EuUISajFoMFp5f7g2UOALsgynp71UlMNgjR26d8=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710xBy William F. Marshall
{ americanthinker.com } ~ How did a man in such a sorry state of such self-evident mental decline get appointed to head up one of the most significant investigations in American law-enforcement history?... That is the question one would be forgiven for asking watching Robert Mueller’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee regarding his investigation into alleged “collusion” between the Trump presidential campaign and Russia. The number of times he sat, mouth agape, while direct and straightforward questions were put to him, only to ask that the questions be repeated, was striking. “What was the question?” was one of Mr. Mueller’s most oft-repeated responses. The amount of stammering, stumbling, “ehs”, and “uhs” was almost embarrassing to watch. Even Democrats were obviously frustrated by Mueller’s halting, timorous responses, especially regarding President Trump’s alleged “obstruction” of the government’s investigation. The image wasn’t helped when the first Republican to question Mueller, Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia, said he would make an extra effort to speak slowly for Mueller’s benefit. That kindness didn’t seem to help Mueller’s comprehension, based on the number of times he continued to ask that questions be repeated, or the time when he directly contradicted what he had written in “his” report: Saying that, in colloquial terms, “collusion” and conspiracy were not the same thing, whereas his report said they were. Mueller did his best, given his declining faculties, to bob and weave, as Republicans did an estimable job of putting very reasonable, and often biting, questions to him. He frequently invoked the mantras “That’s outside my purview”, or “I can’t get into that”, or “I’ll stand by the report.” But those invocations only reinforced what has been apparent for months -- that Mueller was a figurehead who never effectively ran the Special Counsel investigation and didn’t know his own report’s contents. Moreover, it was never really an “investigation” to begin with. It was an extension of a political destruction operation begun by CIA Director scumbag/commie-John Brennan and FBI Director scumbag-James Comey in the spring of 2016, working with scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton’s operatives and the complicit media, by mounting a bogus “counterintelligence investigation” of Trump and his campaign. After scumbag/commie-Brennan and scumbag-Comey were ejected from the government following Trump’s election, the ball was then picked up by Mueller’s Special Counsel investigation, which was really run by Andrew Weissmann, a legal thug of the first order, as I discussed in these pages last month...

While Everyone Focused On Mueller Testimony, President Trump Made New Rule That 
Gives ICE Super Power To Deport

By DEAN JAMES
{ rightwingtribune.com } ~ A new rule implemented by the Trump administration will dramatically empower the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency... and begin clearing the massive backlog of cases waiting to be adjudicated by immigration courts. The rule, published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, expands and speeds the deportation of illegal aliens by stripping away court oversight, thereby enabling ICE and other immigration authorities to remove migrants in days instead of months or years, Reuters  reported.The rule applies “expedited removal” for the majority of people who entered the U.S. illegally unless they can provide proof they have been living in the country for at least two years. According to legal experts, it’s a very dramatic expansion of a program already in existence along the U.S.-Mexico border that eliminates most reviews by immigration courts, and generally without access to an attorney. NPR elaborated on the difference between the existing policy and the new rule changes: Currently, undocumented immigrants who cross into the U.S. by land can be deported without an immigration hearing if they are arrested within 100 miles of the border during the first 14 days after their arrival. Those who arrive by sea can be deported without legal proceedings if they are unable to prove they have been living in the U.S. for two years or more. But under the latest proposal, all geographical limitations would be lifted and rapid removal proceedings would be applied to all undocumented immigrants who have been in the country for less than two years.The move is also designed to mitigate a massive court backlog of immigration cases “and will reduce the significant costs to the government associated with full removal proceedings before an immigration judge.” DHS said that as of June there were 909,034 pending immigration cases. It estimates the average removal proceeding for an undocumented immigrant not being held in detention “has been pending for more than two years before an immigration judge.” The Department of Homeland Security said that the move will also eliminate costs greatly will improving national security and public safety...

Nasrallah's Latest Rocket Boast Underlines 
Threat to Israeli Cities and Sensitive Sites

by Yaakov Lappin
{ investigativeproject.org } ~ Hizballah chief Hassan Nasrallah recently issued a new threat to Israel's cities and sensitive sites, boasting of his terror organization's ability to hit targets deep inside the country... The threats came in a televised speech, serving as a reminder of the ambitious arms race that the Shi'ite terror army is engaged in, with the massive assistance of its state sponsor, Iran. The Lebanese Hizballah is the world's most heavily armed non-state actor, and its surface-to-surface firepower arsenal – estimated at around 150,000 projectiles – is larger than most state armies'. The Israel Defense Force's (IDF) main war preparations focus on the offensive and defensive operations needed to deal with this threat. On July 12, Nasrallah told Al-Manar television station, which is affiliated with his terror organization, that Hizballah improved its offensive capabilities. Displaying a map, he threatened strikes on strategic Israeli targets including Ben Gurion International Airport, the Dimona nuclear facility, a power plant in Hadera, Ashdod sea port, and ammonia tanks in the city of Haifa. Hizballah makes no distinction between civilian and military targets, and has made the goal of terrorizing Israeli civilians a top priority in future wars. Nasrallah also threatened to hit the IDF headquarters in the heart of Tel Aviv, as well as a series of air force bases. Hizballah built up its arsenal by smuggling projectiles into 200 southern Lebanese villages, as well as launch sites in the Bekaa Valley in east Lebanon. It therefore has embedded its firepower in the heart of Lebanese communities, turning Lebanese civilians into human shields if Israel needs to target launch sites and bases. The projectiles are manufactured by Iranian arms factories, as well as joint Iranian-Syrian weapons factories in Syria. The Iranian Quds Force is responsible for smuggling the weapons into Lebanon...

Democrats Use the Specter 
of Racism to Sow Racial Discord
By Ken Blackwell
{ americanthinker.com } ~ Democrats routinely blame Donald Trump for exacerbating racial tensions, but they're the ones who made the stoking of ethnic conflict a hallmark of their electoral strategy long before 2016...  President Lyndon Johnson, for instance, reportedly viewed the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act in purely cynical and racist terms, predicting that the new laws would enable Democrats to secure the black vote for generations to come. Democrats then spent the next several decades baselessly impugning their Republican opponents as racists, but the practice really ramped up during the administration of President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama. As the militant Black Lives Matter movement began calling for violence against police officers and rioting in the streets, scumbag/liar-nObama added fuel to the fire with his pronouncements on race. When the nation was divided over the killing of black teenager Trayvon Martin, for instance, scumbag/liar-nObama remarked that if he had a son, he would look like Martin. When Ferguson, Missouri was turned upside-down by protesters after a police officer shot a black teenager who was trying to escape custody, scumbag/liar-nObama offered perfunctory support for law enforcement yet simultaneously validated the protesters by saying he thinks their concerns are justified. When a black college professor raised a national furor because a white police officer confused him for a burglar as he was trying to enter his home through a window, scumbag/liar-nObama's immediate response was to condemn the police department for "acting stupidly." scumbag/liar-nObama's divisive comments on issues of race made him sound tone-deaf to the nation as a whole, but they were perfectly tailored to appeal to the increasingly radical Democrat base...  https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/07/democrats_use_the_specter_of_racism_to_sow_racial_discord.html

{ patriotnewsalerts.com } ~ For a long time, scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton has escaped justice — but new criminal charges against her may bring that to an end... The Trump-Russia collusion narrative is collapsing, and with that nothing-burger out of the way, the spotlight is turning to the true culprits of election meddling: the Democrats — namely, the scumbag/liar-Clintons. The scumbag/liar-Clintons have been involved in all kinds of shady activity, from Uranium sales to acid-washing subpoenaed hard drives. This activity can’t go on forever, and it looks like the time for justice may have arrived. The Washington Standard reports: American patriots known engaging in the Equal Justice Tour (EJT), filed criminal charges in New York with local police, state police and the FBI. The group believes these are the first steps in bringing the former First Lady and former Secretary of State to justice. There are countless factors that led to the filing of those charges, which are related to the infamous scumbag/liar-Clinton email scandal.The Hill reports: We now are learning that former FBI Director scumbag-James Comey’s top lawyer, then-FBI General Counsel James Baker, initially believed scumbag/liar-Clinton deserved to face criminal charges related to the email scandal, but was talked out of it “pretty late in the process.”  scumbag-Comey’s top lawyer was “talked out” of pressing charges on scumbag/liar-Clinton. That entire sentence reeks of corruption...

Executive Summary: Mueller's 
Capstone Testimony

Mark Alexander:  Special Counsel Robert Mueller provided what should be capstone testimony yesterday before the House Judiciary Committee and the House Intelligence Committee. However, for Democrats, it could better be described as “tombstone testimony” regarding their political charade alleging that Donald Trump “colluded” with Russia to win the 2016 election. Fact is, the whole farce was a setup by scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
 

After submitting a 448-page report in March, Mueller gave a press conference in May in which he intended to put the investigation to bed. Democrats spent the first two years Donald Trump was in office “investigating” the fake collusion story in order to take the House in the 2018 midterm elections, despite the Trump administration’s extraordinary MAGA record. In an effort to keep that momentum alive into 2020, they insisted on Mueller’s testimony.

As we noted yesterday before he had completed his testimony, it was a train wreck. The widespread consensus among politicians and even Leftmedia propagandists is that Mueller looked old, haggard, and confused, and that he didn’t have a full mastery of the questions.

Leftist Harvard law professor Lawrence Tribe declared, “Much as I hate to say it, this morning’s hearing was a disaster. Far from breathing life into his damning report, the tired Robert Mueller sucked the life out of it.” David Axelrod, former senior adviser to Barack scumbag/liar-nObama, observed, “This is very, very painful.”

Many of Mueller’s most memorable lines were to the effect of “I can’t speak to that,” “That’s out of my purview,” or “I can’t answer that.” Muller said more than 200 times that he could not answer the question he was being asked — providing plenty of fodder for Democrats to pursue their dead-end line of allegations. But one reason Mueller refused to answer some questions is, of course, that there is still an ongoing lateral investigation, the results of which may lead in a direction very damaging to scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton and, by extension, all those Demos who have perpetuated the collusion myth.

On the question of whether Trump committed obstruction of justice, the Mueller report itself states: “Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment. Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”

Regarding Democrat suggestions that Trump tried to obstruct the investigation, Mueller was asked by Rep. Doug Collins, “At any time … was your investigation curtailed or stopped?” Mueller answered, flatly, “no.”

House Judiciary Chairman scumbag liar-Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) wanted to make hay anyway, because it’s all Democrats have: “Did you actually ‘totally exonerate’ the president?”

“No,” Mueller responded, adding: “The finding indicates that the president was not exculpated for the acts that he allegedly committed.”

Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX) correctly noted, “It was not the special counsel’s job to conclusively determine Donald Trump’s innocence or to exonerate him because the bedrock principle of our justice system is a presumption of innocence.” Ratcliffe also thundered, “Donald Trump is not above the law, but he damn sure shouldn’t be below the law.”

In other words, they saw nothing that would be an indictable offense. And of course he did not “exonerate” the president because that was not his task. The “exoneration” question, which assumes “guilty until proven innocent,” is just a Democrat play on words to imply there must be something else to keep their  impeachment circus circulating.

On the question of “obstruction,” Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) led the witness: “The reason, again, that you did not indict Donald Trump is because of an Office of Legal Counsel OLC opinion stating that you cannot indict a sitting president. Correct?”

Mueller: “That is correct.”

But in the second hearing, Mueller went back to this question to correct the record. “I want to go back to one thing that was said this morning by Representative Ted Lieu, who said, and I quote, ‘You didn’t charge the president because of the OLC opinion.’ That is not the correct way to say it,” Mueller said. “As we say in the report, and as I said at the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime.”

In other words, there was no evidence to indict, one way or the other, despite Demo efforts to spin it the other way.

“The Democrats have refused to accept reality,” said California Rep. Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the Intelligence Committee. “They live in an alternate universe. This is over.”

“None of the evidence has panned out,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said. Democrats “know this is not what they wanted to see today. This is not what they wanted to hear. This should end the chapter of this book we put America through.”

After the hearings, former federal prosecutor and Rep. Trey Gowdy declared, “Before Bob Mueller had uttered a single syllable of the report, 60 House Democrats moved to impeach him. What they wanted was Mueller to come in and do their job for them — to issue this roadmap that could lead them to impeachment.” Again, for Democrats, it’s guilty until proven innocent.

Our conclusions…

First, while Democrats are still insisting that Russian interference helped Trump win in 2016, the fact is the overwhelming political beneficiaries of the Russia collusion delusion were Democrats in the 2018 midterm elections.

Second, in regard to corruption of our elections, it’s the Democrats who are endeavoring to corrupt the political process with their open-borders policy, refusal to allow the citizenship question on the census, and opposing voter IDs. Democrats are doing far more to undermine the integrity of U.S. elections than the Russians have ever done.

Third, as we have noted previously, it is astounding that Mueller did not investigate the fake dossier funded by scumbag/liar-Clinton, but that investigation may come next.

And finally, this entire Trump setup began with a small group of powerful anti-Trump bureaucrats who in effect attempted a coup d'état to take Trump down.  ~The Patriot Post

{ news.usni.org } ~ American forces are willing to provide allies with intelligence on potential maritime threats in the Middle East, but countries will need to bring their own escorts... defense officials told USNI News on Wednesday. Operation Sentinel is the emerging U.S. Central Command plan to keep merchant traffic in the Middle East moving and safe amidst the ongoing disputes between Washington and Europe and Iran, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper told reporters on Wednesday. “The key issues are two-fold: one is maintaining freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. The second is deterring provocative action from Iran,” he said Wednesday morning after being sworn in as SECDEF on Tuesday evening. CENTCOM is working through a planning process with unspecified partners and allies to outline a construct for Operation Sentinel – not to be confused with the ongoing NATO mission in Afghanistan, Operation Freedom’s Sentinel – by the end of the month. While plans are still being developed, the idea that CENTCOM will collect and distribute information related to the Middle East threat picture from the Bab el-Mandeb entrance into the Gulf of Aden, through the Arabian Sea, up into the Gulf of Oman and through the Strait of Hormuz into the Persian Gulf. While the U.S. will share the information with members of the group, American Navy ships will not be escorting international maritime shipping, two defense officials told USNI News on Wednesday. “Most countries who transit the strait have an interest in this and should want to provide forces to ensure navigation of the strait, freedom of the seas and deter provocative behavior. It’s all complementary, it all works,” Esper said. “The Brits are trying to escort their ships. We’re escorting our ships to the degree that the risk demands it. I assume that other countries will escort their ships.”...

proposal to restructure Medicare Part D

{ aei.org } ~ Senior citizens are facing increasing and often significant burdens from rising out-of-pocket costs on drugs... that they need to improve their health while many observers worry about the long run stability of the Part D program. As part of the Prescription Drug Pricing Reduction Act (PDPRA), the Senate Finance Committee is considering two significant reforms to the Medicare Part D program aimed at reducing overall program outlays and beneficiary out-of-pocket spending. Most notably, the proposal would substantially redesign the structure of the Part D benefit to encourage more efficient management of drug spending and reduce incentives that encourage rapid growth of list prices. In addition, it would establish mandatory rebates in Medicare Part D if list prices on drugs grow faster than the rate of inflation as measured by CPI-U to reduce enrollee out-of-pocket spending. This proposal is a well-intentioned effort to improve the incentive structure of the Part D program and protect seniors from rising out-of-pocket burdens. However, these proposals introduce a number of important tradeoffs, that in some cases may challenge the stated policy goal. In this piece, we outline the interaction between Part D benefit design, list price growth, and out-of-pocket spending. In addition, we discuss some of the potential effects of the policies under consideration, and offer alternatives proposals that Congress could consider. These policy alternatives could help achieve the desired policy goals of reducing financial burdens on seniors and bringing more fiscal discipline to Part D drug spending, while creating potentially more desirable tradeoffs. The PDPRA includes an ambitious plan to redesign Part D benefits in order to improve incentives that affect government and beneficiary out-of-pocket spending. Under current law, insurers must offer standard Part D coverage which consists of four phases whose descriptions we take directly from the Chairman’s Mark of the PDPRA...

China Vows to Protect Religious

by 1776christian.com ~ On April 4, 2018, the Chinese government issued an official policy paper vowing “protection” for religious freedom – but words and action have proved to be very different... During a press conference, the State Council Information Office introduced the white paper labeled “China’s Policies and Practices on Protecting Freedom of Religious Belief.” Ironically, the move comes a mere four days after the country banned the online sale of the Bible. In September of 2017, the State Council passed legislation banning religious organizations from receiving any foreign funding. Additional regulations concerning religion were implemented in the communist country in February of 2018. Some religious leaders have voiced concerns that the new rules violate religious freedom. Eric Lai, a Catholic commentator, remarked in March of 2018 that the ruling Communist Party in China desires “to use religion as a tool for stability” in the same manner as other authoritarian governments, such as Russia, utilize it. The recent white paper labelled China as a “multi-religious country since ancient times.” However, the missive also stated, “active guidance” was required in order for religions to “adapt to socialist society.” Referencing a perceived defect in the policy paper in a piece written for AsiaNews, Bernardo Cervellera said, “it is not an attempt to draw up a map of religions, but to convince the world that the only religions that exist in China are the official ones, allowed by the CCP. For it, religion is a concession from the top of political power, not an innate dimension of man, Chinese or foreign.” The white paper acknowledged five recognized religions in China. The policy paper purported that 200 million people in the country practice one of these religions. Of the 200 million worshipers, six million are reportedly Catholics, while another 30 million are Protestants. Providing proof concerning his comments about an alleged flaw in the policy paper statistics, Cervellera said, “it bases its calculations only on official communities, although every religion in China has an unofficial dimension. For Catholics, there are estimated at least 6 million underground faithful; for the Protestants about 60 million.” In October of 2017, World Watch Monitor documented that some people believe the Christian population in China might reach an astounding 247 million before 2030. If this occurs, China will be the world’s largest Christian congregation...

{ dailycaller.com } ~ Accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was found injured and laying on the ground in a New York City jail... according to sources close to the investigation.  Epstein was arrested July 6 for allegedly sex trafficking minors in New York after previously pleading guilty in 2008 to two counts of prostitution, one with a minor, in Florida. He was denied bail and jailed after U.S. District Judge Richard Berman said that he was a flight risk. The Manhattan financier was found laying semi-conscious in a fetal position with marks on his neck Wednesday in his Metropolitan Correctional Center cell, two sources told NBC New York. He may have tried to hang himself, they added.  Another person said that the injures were not serious and alleged that Epstein may be trying to get a transfer out of the situation, according to NBC NY. He has been complaining about the conditions inside the jail.  Yet another source said that an assault has not yet been ruled out as a reason for the injuries. Investigators have questioned Nicholas Tartaglione, a former police officer in Westchester County who was arrested in 2016 for allegedly killing four men and burying their bodies, NBC NY reported. Tartaglione said that he did not know what happened to Epstein and was not responsible, according to the sources.The former police officer’s attorney said Tartaglione did not attack Epstein, according to NBC NY. Epstein, who pleaded not guilty to the sex trafficking charges, is now on suicide watch, two sources said. Who really cares.

Trump Administration Not Turning a Blind Eye 
to Chinese Violations of Iran Oil Sanctions
by David Adesnik
{ fdd.org } ~ The U.S. imposed sanctions on a Chinese oil trading firm and its chief executive on Monday “for knowingly purchasing or acquiring oil from Iran... contrary to U.S. sanctions,” according to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. The move indicates the Trump administration will not look the other way as China continues to import millions of barrels of Iranian crude. The target of U.S. sanctions,  Zhuhai Zhenrong, is one of two state-owned enterprises that serve as China’s principal importers of Iranian oil, the other being Sinopec. “We said we would fully enforce our sanctions, and we are backing this up with real action,” Pompeo added. The scumbag/liar-nObama administration sanctioned Zhuhai Zhenrong in 2012 for exporting gasoline to Iran, then suspended those sanctions as part of the 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran. While the sanctions were in place, the Chinese firm remained a leading importer of Iranian oil, bringing in about 240,000 barrels per day. The U.S. aimed a lethal blow at Tehran’s finances in late April by ending the waivers that allowed China and several others importers to continue purchasing Iranian oil despite the re-instatement of sanctions in 2018. In May, Iranian exports plunged to an all-time low following the decisions of Japan, South Korea, India, and Turkey to comply with U.S. restrictions. Whereas Iran exported about 2.4 million barrels per day before the Trump administration withdrew from the nuclear deal, its exports fell to 500,000 barrels per day or less after the U.S. waivers expired. Precise figures for Iranian exports are now unavailable because, in violation of maritime law, Iranian tankers conceal their activity by turning off the transponders that broadcast their location. However, Tanker Trackers’ analysis of commercial satellite imagery has shown that the Iranian-flagged tanker Salina delivered about one million barrels of crude to China in late June – the first delivery since the expiration of U.S. waivers – while the Iranian-flagged Horse and Humanity made deliveries in July. Meanwhile, Bloomberg listed deliveries from the Iranian-flagged Amber and Panamanian-flagged C. Infinity, while reporting that other tankers were en route or anchored off Chinese shores...

Trump Wins Big in Emoluments Lawsuits:
2 Down and 1 to Go

Hans von Spakovsky and GianCarlo Canaparo
 

President Donald Trump has won the second of three lawsuits alleging he violated the Constitution because foreigners and state officials patronize his businesses, such as the Trump Hotel in Washington, D.C.

The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the claim by Maryland and the District of Columbia that Trump was violating the Constitution’s domestic and foreign emoluments clauses.

The foreign emoluments clause reads:

No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

The domestic emoluments clause reads:

The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.

In throwing out this latest suit, the 4th Circuit chastised the plaintiffs for wasting the court’s time with a plainly meritless case.

The court also scolded federal Judge Peter Messitte, a Clinton appointee, for not throwing out the case sooner and for refusing to let the president appeal his erroneous rulings.

Messitte’s faulty reasoning “blinks reality,” the court said, and his actions “amounted to a clear abuse of discretion.”

Messitte’s rulings were so erroneous that the 4th Circuit didn’t even wait for an appeal. It accepted the president’s request for writ of mandamus — a rarely granted procedural tool that allows early review of an otherwise nonappealable issue — to take the case away from Messitte, reverse his rulings, and force him to throw the case out for good, without the possibility of further appeal.

The lawsuit alleged that, because government employees and foreign officials pay for services they receive from Trump’s businesses, payment produces a constitutionally forbidden “present” to the president.

The court held that Maryland and the District’s interest in the case was “abstract” and “simply too attenuated” for the case to proceed.

Maryland and the District argued that they are harmed by the alleged constitutional violation because the Trump Hotel “competes” with conference centers and hotels they own. Which, of course, brings up a question not dealt with in the lawsuit: Why are Maryland and D.C. involved in the conference and hospitality industry to begin with and competing with private industry?

Their claims rested on the speculation (accepted at face value by Messitte) that government officials patronize the Trump Hotel because it distributes profits to the president and not for any other reason.

But there are, of course, two equally plausible competing speculations: that some government officials avoid the Trump Hotel because of its association with the president, and that some government officials stay at the Trump Hotel because it’s a nice place to stay.

Regardless, courts don’t decide cases based on speculations.

What’s more, Maryland and the District couldn’t explain how prohibiting the president from earning money from the hotel would stop government officials from going there. In other words, even if they had a viable legal claim, there is no possible remedy.

Assuming that foreign officials were trying to curry the president’s favor by staying at his hotel, the hotel is associated with him and would financially benefit his family even if it didn’t benefit him — and the emoluments clauses have no application to the family members of a federal official.

The 4th Circuit found this a fatal flaw in the plaintiffs’ argument and noted that the lawyer for Maryland and the District was “repeatedly unable to articulate the terms of the injunction” that was being sought to remedy the supposed violation of the Constitution.

As the court expostulated, “when plaintiffs before a court are unable to specify the relief they seek, one must wonder why they came to the court for relief in the first place.”

The only other interest that Maryland or the District had in the case was “a general interest in having the law followed.” And a plaintiff “raising only a generally available grievance about government” has no right to do so in court.

So ended the second of three emoluments clauses cases. The president won the first case in 2017 when a federal court in New York tossed out an almost identical lawsuit filed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a liberal advocacy organization.

One emoluments case remains, this one before federal Judge Emmet Sullivan in the District of Columbia. In that case, Democratic members of Congress, including Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., personally sued the president for allegedly violating the foreign emoluments clause.

In an order reminiscent of Messitte’s “clearly erroneous” orders, Sullivan simply accepted the speculation — with no supporting evidence — that foreign officials are staying at the Trump Hotel only because it pays the president part of its profits.

Sullivan then went on to say that congressional Democrats have a personal interest in the case because — and now hang on, because this is wild ride — the president, by accepting the alleged foreign payments, has denied Congress, as an institution, the right to vote on these payments.

You might wonder how Sullivan made the logical leap from the Democrats’ personal interest to Congress’ institutional interest. Sullivan answers that question by calling that distinction “relevant … but not dispositive.”

That case is ongoing, and Sullivan is letting the congressional Democrats subpoena the president’s financial information. Additionally, Sullivan recently denied the president’s request to delay the case while he appeals.

Political fights belong in the political arena. As the 4th Circuit said here, the claims made by Maryland and the District were “so attenuated and abstract that the prosecution of this case readily provokes the question of whether this action against the President is an appropriate use of the courts.”

It isn’t. And in light of the 4th Circuit’s opinion, perhaps the president should seek another writ of mandamus in the D.C. Circuit to overrule what is clearly an erroneous decision by Sullivan.  ~The Patriot Post

{ godfatherpolitics.com } ~ Democrats had high hopes that former special council Robert Mueller’s testimony would ring the bell for impeachment... but instead it has fizzled and led some in the media to pronounce the hopes of impeachment to be dead. Mueller’s testimony broadcast all across the country was very bad for Democrats. Mueller looked confused and ill-informed throughout the event. He stumbled over answers, repeatedly asked for questions to be asked a second time, and often seemed unaware of what was going on. And, according to CNN’s Jake Tapper, he refused to even answer a question over 155 times.The appearance before the House Judiciary Committee was so bad that NBC’s liberal newsman Chuck Todd said that the hearing had created a series of “narrative nightmares for Democrats.” During a break in the testimony, NBC shot over to Todd who said that the whole thing was not working well for Democrats. As Breitbart News reported, when asked if the testimony is bringing the report to life like a movie Todd said, “In no movie would the best actor, the lead person here has the fewest words spoken. And the problem here is you — basically the narrative that Democrats were hoping that Bob Mueller would be telling is essentially they are telling him and he is saying, ‘that’s true. yes, that’s correct.’ I wrote it down two narrative nightmares for the Democrats, one was ‘I stick with the language I have in front of you,’ or ‘whatever was said will appear in the report.’ He has no interest in helping to providing color, context and that does, I think take away some drama. Meanwhile over at ABC, the network’s Senior National Correspondent, Terry Moran, was also seen lamenting the loss of the Democrat narrative by insisting that Mueller’s latest testimony finally put an end to their hopes of impeaching Trump...  The video must be devastating to the Democrats.

liar-Pelosi’s Warming to Impeachment

{ independentsentinel.com } ~ Speaker liar-Nancy Pelosi failed at her fishing expedition so she’s moving on to Trump’s finances. She wants more investigations... Surely Democrats have lost their collective minds.  SHE’S WARMING TO IMPEACHMENT. According to CNN correspondent Manu Raju, liar-Pelosi is open to impeachment if the members believe they must proceed. Did she watch the same hearings we watched? Is she going to call the befuddled Robert Mueller as a witness? Mueller didn’t come off as leading a fair investigation. He hates the President and his investigators hate Trump. Mueller’s performance was terrible. Mueller got paid for doing nothing. He didn’t draft the report, didn’t sit in on interviews, didn’t draft the letter to the AG, didn’t write his statement at the presser. We don’t think liar-Pelosi will okay impeachment, but she will continue her witch hunt. She gave a press conference tonight and she touted the success of those pathetic hearings. Raju asked liar-Pelosi about her previous concerns that Senate Republicans wouldn’t go along with convicting Trump if the House impeaches, and she shot back, “I have never long said that … The stronger our case is, the worse the Senate will look for just letting the president off the hook.” He wonders if that’s a shift towards impeachment. We don’t think so. She’s just playing everyone...

Puerto Rico's governor to resign amid protests 
over leaked obscene online chats

{ foxnews.com } ~ Ricardo Rosselló, the embattled governor of Puerto Rico, announced on Wednesday that he will resign on Aug. 2... after more than a week of massive protests calling for his ouster over leaked obscene, misogynistic online chats. Rosselló took to Facebook Wednesday to announce that his resignation will go into effect at 5 p.m. on Friday. Puerto Rico’s Department of Justice confirmed to Fox News Tuesday that search warrants had been issued in an investigation into the governor and 11 of his aides over whether they committed any crimes related to offensive, obscenity-laden online chats that were released. The leaked conversations reportedly showed the governor mocking women, homosexuals, political opponents and victims of Hurricane Maria. In one message, Rosselló reportedly called one New York female politician of Puerto Rican descent a “w---e” and described another as a “daughter of a b---h.” One chat included vulgar references to Latin pop star Ricky Martin’s homosexuality. On Monday, Rosselló told Fox News he took responsibility for allegations of corruption from his own people but said he would not resign. Over the weekend, he said he would not seek re-election. More than a dozen officials have already resigned since the chats were leaked.

{ foxnews.com } ~ A federal judge in California on Wednesday blocked the Trump administration from imposing restrictions on individuals seeking asylum in the United States... just hours after a judge in Washington had decided to let the rule stand while lawsuits play out in court. The rule, published in the Federal Register last week, required people seeking asylum to apply first in one of the countries they cross on their way to the U.S. -- with certain exceptions. It targeted tens of thousands of Central Americans who have crossed Mexico each month trying to enter the U.S. The rule was met quickly with a legal challenge from advocacy groups, who moved for a temporary restraining order blocking the rule. After a hearing in Washington, D.C. federal court, District Judge Timothy J. Kelly denied the motion. But hours later, U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar in San Francisco, an scumbag/liar-nObama appointee, blocked the enforcement of the rule. His ruling took effect immediately. "The court recognized, as it did with the first asylum ban, that the Trump administration was attempting an unlawful end run around asylum protections enacted by Congress," said ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt in a statement. Melissa Crow, a senior supervising attorney with the Southern Poverty Law Center called Tigar's block, "an important victory for incredibly vulnerable individuals and families from besieged Central American countries seeking refuge in our country." The White House had earlier called the decision to uphold the Trump administration's rule "a victory for Americans concerned about the crisis at our southern border," adding, "Tens of thousands of migrants making opportunistic asylum claims have not only exacerbated the crisis at our southern border but also have harmed genuine asylum seekers, who are forced to wait years for relief because our system is clogged with meritless claims."... Asylum is not, not a right.  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-admin-scores-win-over-move-to-limit-asylum-claims

Mueller Starts House Intel Hearing By 
Correcting Major Bombshell

{ dailycaller.com } ~ In his second round of testimony Wednesday, former special counsel Robert Mueller corrected what was initially seen as the biggest bombshell... from remarks he gave earlier in the day regarding his investigation into whether President Donald Trump attempted to obstruct the Russia probe. “Now before we go to questions, I want to add one correction to my testimony this morning,” Mueller began at the outset of his testimony before the House Intelligence Committee. Mueller corrects @TedLieu’s assertion that he “didn’t charge the president because of the OLC opinion.” Mueller reaffirms findings in his report and says the Special Counsel’s Office “did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime.” pic.twitter.com/HvCnJw1a7u  He referred back to an exchange he had earlier Wednesday with Democratic California Rep. Ted Lieu during a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee. Mueller agreed with Lieu that the reason the special counsel’s office did not charge Trump with obstruction was because of Justice Department office of legal counsel policies against indicting sitting presidents. “The reason again that you did not indict Donald Trump is because of Office of Legal Counsel opinion stating that you cannot indict a sitting president, correct?” Lieu asked. “That is correct,” Mueller said...

The American Dream or an American Nightmare?
PGobY2FkjDSFDWaDD1jpdBG7hXgm6-lGeK8WrAlRfNx95psnbxko1f5Mp1PrClF64bOuy-TlXT8iaCaPRpRQxMs4W20RfNJHhm2creHngCHmxFS7tlRI7HBuxRFKSU6Ucl0LslsBrew4g1F7IogvmgCsYjznjEBEpoLz30Y=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Robin Smith:  Did you know that your belief about the attainability of the American Dream is, apparently, closely tied to your partisan leanings? That’s a pitiful and depressing realty. But it reveals that what one believes constructs what you’re able to achieve.

Last week, Gallup published its findings in a phone survey of 1,018 adults conducted in June. Just over 70% of those surveyed acknowledged their stance on the following statement: “If you work hard and play by the rules, you will be able to achieve the American dream in your lifetime.” Looking at the demographics of those surveyed, the very clear defining identifier that’s notable is partisan label.

Those claiming Center-Right or Republican partisan status answered to the affirmative 88% of the time that they could pursue opportunity to accomplish the aspirations they hold and envision in our nation that gives equal opportunity based on Liberty and authentic freedom. Men and women of the “independent” voter category dropped precipitously with 66% of respondents standing by that position, while only 60% of self-identified Democrats believe that the American Dream is attainable.

Within those partisan divisions, 84% of conservatives, held the more hopeful view of their futures than liberals, who dropped to just 54% expressing a positive prognosis for the days ahead.

But even further dissection reveals that women, particularly younger females — 18-49-year-olds — expect dimmer, less hopeful futures versus their senior sisters of the 50+ age range.

Is this a sudden trend? Why is this happening? Why are younger women of the most pessimistic view of their own destinies?

Interestingly, back in 2015, according to The Washington Post citing a survey by the Public Religion Research Institute, Republicans were less optimistic than Democrats and said our best days were behind us. But, looking at the Gallup historical snapshot that accompanies their recent review, optimism of Americans was greatest from 1999-2003 with the belief that up to 72% of respondents would have a better life than their parents versus just 60% today.

Clearly, the fluctuation in sentiment aligns with the leadership of our nation. That seems to be a factor. But why are we seeing a decline in hope in our younger generation?

It’s no longer a hypothesis but instead a correlating factor that those on the political Left have a different worldview that removes or at least diminishes faith from its foundations. The removal of God from the Democrat platform back in 2012 or the more inflammatory rhetoric that mocks those who dare to believe in God are certainly contributing factors. This also serves as part of the growing dependency upon government for state-awarded rights versus those “endowed by our Creator.” Doubt that?

What are the key conflicts in our world of politics right now? Abortion is the absolute litmus test of the militant “progressive” Left. Abortion viewed as a right completely dismisses the value of life and its purpose. Rather, abortion is about control awarded by a government to women, not an empowering appreciation of life rooted in faith.

A second conflict is about citizenship. Individuals of the Christian faith believe that our final citizenship is granted into Heaven. Those who reject the tenets of that faith are denied entry. Those of the Christian faith read from God’s Word that individuals are not granted access to Heaven via a familial tie to a religion or the faith of another.

The uncomfortable nature of faith is that we’re individually confronted with our own behavior, thoughts, choices, and destiny with personal accountability. Too many opt for groupthink and the embrace of rights given by man via an agency like government versus those from God. If you embrace the latter, your accounting is not just to yourself or man.

So, while we point to politics and the differences among Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, the root grows deeper into that which influences our culture and our politics.

Currently, so many of the institutions of our society are controlled by those who subscribe to the worldview of the Left absent of optimism, focused on failure, and fueled by anger. Faith is less a factor and influence with the sliding scale of values that are secular to ensure acceptance, approval, and even the glorification of victimhood. Our universities, our media, and much of the entertainment that control what we see, consume into our minds, and impact our reasoning are driven by a worldview from the secular Left.

It’s easiest to fixate on Donald Trump and the flood of images pouring into our life of screens — handheld, desktop, and wall-mounted — that scream of the political decay and divide, but the reality is that our optimism or lack thereof is rooted in something other than the personalities and power of politics. The hatred of President Donald J. Trump is unquestionably a factor, but appreciate that the principles on which he’s governing, as a very imperfect man, are more aligned with the beliefs that each is, indeed, endowed by our Creator and that government, framed on the respect of individual rights coupled with responsibilities serves as the best path and offers the greatest opportunities.

Republicans are running to lead America from a position of hope. Democrats, sadly, are running it down.  ~The Patriot Post

Media Editors:  Government & Politics


MEDIA THRASHING: “Media members thrashed Robert Mueller’s anticipated appearance Wednesday on Capitol Hill, calling the hearing a ‘disaster’ for Democrats and saying the former special counsel was ‘boring’ and didn’t defend his work forcefully,” The Washington Free Beacon reports. Meanwhile, Fox News provides five key takeaways.

NO PROSECUTION FOR BARR: “The Justice Department said Wednesday it will not prosecute Attorney General William P. Barr for contempt of Congress, rejecting House Democrats’ attempt last week to punish Mr. Barr in a spat over the 2020 census. The move is in keeping with longstanding department policy, and follows the lead of the scumbag/liar-nObama administration, which likewise refused to prosecute then-Attorney General scumbag-Eric H. Holder Jr. after he was held in criminal contempt.” (The Washington Times)

ASYLUM BAN BLOCKED: “Delivering a painful defeat to the Trump administration’s most sweeping effort to single-handedly overhaul the asylum system without Congress, a federal judge on Wednesday blocked a rule that made most migrants from Central America and other countries ineligible for asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border. … Earlier on Wednesday, a federal judge in Washington declined to block the policy as requested by plaintiffs in a second court challenge to the controversial policy.” (CBS News)

FEDERAL EXECUTIONS RESUME: “The Department of Justice announced Thursday that it will resume capital punishment for the first time in nearly two decades. Attorney General William Barr has directed that executions for five death-row inmates be scheduled. If carried out, they will be the first federal executions since 2003.” (The Hill)

Legislation


WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? “The House voted 264-169 on Wednesday to pass legislation that would create a new Treasury Department agency to provide taxpayer-backed loans to endangered multiemployer pension plans and some other types of endangered plans.” (Washington Examiner)

A BROKEN BLOCK IS RIGHT TWICE A DAY: “On Wednesday, in a lopsided 429-3 vote, the House passed a bill that will stop bad robocalls.” (The Daily Wire)

TRUMP VETO: “President Trump has vetoed three congressional resolutions that would block his emergency arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). … Congress is not expected to have the two-thirds majority needed to override Trump’s vetoes.” (The Hill)

National Security


NOKO PROVOKES: “North Korea test-fired two new short-range ballistic missiles on Thursday, South Korean officials said, its first missile test since its leader, Kim Jong Un, and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to revive denuclearisation talks last month. … Firing a ballistic missile would be a violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions that ban the North from the use of such technology.” (Reuters)

CHINA RANCOR: “China sharpened its hostility toward the United States and Taiwan in a new high-level report on its future military strategy that accused Washington and its allies of undermining global stability. Releasing the document on Wednesday, officials of the People’s Liberation Army repeatedly warned that Beijing would be willing to deploy military force to assert its claims over Taiwan.” (The Washington Post)

Around the Nation


PUERTO RICO GOV. RESIGNS: “Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló announced his resignation Wednesday days after demonstrators at the island’s largest protest in recent history called for his ouster over a scandal involving leaked private chats as well as corruption investigations and arrests. His resignation, effective Aug. 2, came late Wednesday night on a recorded video published on Facebook.” (NBC News)

EPSTEIN INJURED: “Jeffrey Epstein was reportedly found injured in a New York City jail cell on Tuesday after a possible suicide attempt. Epstein, 66, was discovered at the Metropolitan Correctional Center nearly unconscious and with wounds to his neck.” (Fox News)

By Frank Miles 
{ foxnews.com } ~ Top House Democrats hit back Wednesday at President Trump after the Robert Mueller hearings saw the former special counsel largely rehash the findings of his report on the Russia investigation... “We are so getting used to normal,” said House Oversight Committee Chairman scumbag-Elijah Cummings, D-Md., about the Trump administration. “We refuse to accept it. … We have got to guard this moment, this is our watch.” He reiterated the Democrats’ goal is accountability not a witch hunt. “It’s about loving democracy. It’s about loving our country,” he said. “I am begging the American people to pay attention to what is going on.” House Intelligence Committee Chairman scumbag-Adam Schiff, D-Calif., claimed Mueller's “powerful words” shed light on the Trump administration's actions. House Speaker liar-Nancy Pulosi, D-Calif., said the testimony was an “indictment” of Republicans’ “cone of silence.” liar-Pulosi said about the impeachment of Trump: “If we should go down that path, we need to be in the strongest possible position.” She said impeachment would be about facts and the laws, a patriotic act to preserve democracy, not politics. House Judiciary Committee Chairman scumbag liar-Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said his panel will file lawsuits this week to obtain more information about Mueller’s report and to enforce a subpoena against former White House counsel Donald McGahn... These people are sick and won't see the truth.

Jim Jordan nails Mueller 
on instigator of Russia probe
by  ART MOORE
{ wnd.com } ~ Democrats focused their questioning Wednesday of Robert Mueller on whether or not President Trump tried to obstruct the special counsel investigation... but Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, wanted to know why the person who appears to have launched the whole matter was let off the hook. The FBI opened its investigation after Australian diplomat Alexander Downer reported to the bureau that he was told by Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos that “the Russians have dirt on scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton,” Jordan pointed out. “What I’m wondering is, who told Papadopoulos?” the congressman asked Mueller. How did he find out?” I can’t get into the evidentiary findings,” Mueller replied. “Yes you can,” Jordan shot back. “You wrote about it. You gave us the answer. On page 192 of the report you tell us who told him: Josef Mifsud.”Jordan described Mifsud at “the mysterious professor who lives in Rome and London, works and teaches at two universities.” “This is the guy who told Papadopoulos. This is the guy who starts it all,” the Ohio Republican said.“And when the FBI interviews him, he lies three times, and yet you don’t charge him with a crime.” Jordan pointed out that Mueller charged several figures with making false statements, including one-time Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and his associate, Rick Gates, former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen and former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. “But the guy who puts the whole country through this saga, starts it all — for three years we’ve live through this now — he lies, and you guys don’t charge him,” Jordan said. “And I’m curious as to why.” Mueller replied: “Well, we can’t get into it, and it’s obvious, I think, that we can’t get into charging decisions...  https://www.wnd.com/2019/07/jim-jordan-nails-mueller-on-instigator-of-russia-probe/

by wnd.com ~ Democrats called former special counsel Robert Mueller to testify before Congress Wednesday on his report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election... with the hope of finding grounds to impeach President Trump. What they got was halting and sometimes contradictory responses that indicated he was not familiar with his report. Many Twitter users noted it became clear during the hearing that it was Mueller’s staff of mostly scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton supporters that drove the investigation and the report. “His reputation gave credibility to an attempted coup d’etat,” wrote Larry Edington. “He clearly does not have the mental capacity to have been the driving force behind this report.” Mueller’s team found no evidence for Democratic claims the Trump 2016 campaign colluded with Russia and decided not to refer obstruction charges. Fox News analyst Brit Hume wrote on Twitter: “Mueller is still struggling to answer questions even after questions are repeated and he’s had a chance to look up relevant portions of report.”Grabien reported Mueller “frequently appeared confused during his much-anticipated Capitol Hill testimony.” “Mueller, who is often celebrated in the media for laser-like thinking, had to ask lawmakers to regularly repeat their questions, seemingly struggling to pay attention,” the report said...

Massive Drop in Global Poverty 
Due to Free Market
QG41eLH5MeRLDm_gr2i8n1IGsc_gUhVH1lqt3awv-bGZOR293S28eYIIRYjZNunYT4HjEZ_O-h7uOeTDwhOIxIbTteNrojD1egEbKSkNAIWXs8KuzSnr8APaDWYbCmb59zVNhp8NqaMMJuypuekRJcRnlKj59DzRGIw8Vms=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Political Editors:  The United Nations recently sought to celebrate the significant drop in global poverty seen over the past two decades. The UN noted, “Poverty has declined globally, from 1.7 billion people in 1999 to 767 million in 2013, a drop in the global poverty rate from 28 percent in 1999 to 11 percent in 2013. The most significant progress was seen in Eastern and South-Eastern Asia, where the rate declined from 35 per cent in 1999 to 3 per cent in 2013.”

This is indeed good news, though the UN then erroneously tried to give credit where no credit is due: top-down government programs. The UN’s report highlights an example of a country that has “taken action to end poverty.” “The Government of Tanzania, for example, started a massive overhaul of its current national programme, the Tanzania Productive Social Safety Nets, to reach people living below the food poverty line.” Come again?

The UN would have people believe that Tanzania has seen its way out of abject poverty because of government programs. Have these UN eggheads not been watching Venezuela? The actual cause of declining poverty in Tanzania, as Chelsea Follett explains for Human Progress, is the free market. “The real cause of that reduction is pretty straightforward: economic freedom,” Follett writes. “Tanzania has gradually dismantled the socialist or ‘ujamaa’ economic policies enacted by the dictator Julius Nyerere, since he stepped down in 1985. Nyerere was widely praised by leftist intellectuals in developed countries for his sincere belief in socialism, relatively low level of corruption, and not intentionally slaughtering his own people like so many other dictators.”

The fact of the matter is that greater individual freedom coupled with a free-market economy is the greatest factor in diminishing poverty, not socialist, government-controlled economies. The individual will always have a greater interest in taking care of himself than will any government bureaucrat. When people are free to enjoy the fruits of their own labor, they are more apt to work harder and with more innovation than will those who find themselves and their labor owned and controlled by the state.  ~The Patriot Post

{ westernjournal.com } ~ The day Democrats have been waiting for is finally here. Robert Mueller is on Capitol Hill testifying about his report. The first of two scheduled hearings began at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday with Mueller answering questions from the House Judiciary Committee... Proceedings so far have gone as most people would have expected, with Republicans and Democrats taking turns asking five minutes worth of questions to Mueller. Democrats have praised Mueller and his report while seeking to get him to expand on his findings, and Republicans have looked to poke holes in his report. The second round of questions came from ranking Republican Doug Collins of Georgia, who seemed to succeed in exposing a contradiction between Mueller’s words and his report. “Is that indeed true, your investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in election interference activity?” Collins asked roughly halfway through his five minutes.“Thank you, yes,” Mueller replied. “Although your report states collusion is not a specific offense, and you said that this morning, or a term of art in federal criminal law, conspiracy is. In the colloquial context, are collusion and conspiracy essentially synonymous terms?” Collins followed up. After asking Collins to repeat the question, Mueller answered, “No.” “If no, on page 180 of volume one of your report you wrote, ‘As defined in legal dictionaries, collusion is largely synonymous with conspiracy as that crime is set forth in the general federal conspiracy statute,'” Collins said. “You said at your May 29 press conference and here today you choose your words carefully. Are you sitting here today testifying something different than what your report states?” Mueller stammered for sometime while looking at his report before eventually deciding he would “leave it with the report.”

scumbag liar-Nadler: Substantial evidence 
President Trump 'guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors' contained in Mueller report

{ foxnews.com } ~ Rep. scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., accused President Trump of committing "high crimes and misdemeanors" on "Fox News Sunday" this week... and said Trump's infractions meet the standard of impeachment. "The Mueller report  presents very substantial evidence that the president is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and we have to present — or let Mueller present those facts to the American people and then see where we go from there," he said. "Because the administration must be held accountable and no president can be above the law." Host Chris Wallace asked scumbag liar-Nadler what Democrats will do if Mueller's testimony falls flat, and the House Judiciary chairman said he expects the hearing to have an impact on the electorate and plans to ask specific fact-finding questions to help enlighten the public. "Well, we hope it won’t end up being a dud," he replied. "And we're going to ask specific questions about -- look at page 344, paragraph two, please read it. Does that describe obstruction of justice and did you find that the president did that, for example." scumbag liar-Nadler also said he isn't worried about Republicans asking probing questions about the investigation's origins via the Steele dossier, and claimed they'd only be wasting their time."It's been very clear that the Trump investigation was not predicated on the so-called dossier that they're talking  about. There was nothing wrong with the FISA application. All the things they're talking about have been gone through. The inspector general found that there was nothing wrong with the other half of what they’re talking about, which is the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton investigation. He's finishing it," scumbag liar-Nadler said. "If they want to debate, or discuss, I should say, this irrelevancy, let them waste the time. But what's before the American people now is the conduct of this president. And what Mueller found about the conduct of this president and where we go from here." Mueller is scheduled to appear on Capitol Hill this Wednesday to discuss the contents of his final report.

{ timesofisrael.com } ~ The US House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a resolution on Tuesday that rejects the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel... after some Democrats expressed concern last week that the measure could cause infighting within the party leading up to the 2020 election. The bill — formally known as House Resolution 246 — also calls for increased security aid to Israel and a two-state solution. It passed by a vote of 398-17, with five abstentions.Sixteen Democrats opposed the bill, including representatives worthless-Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and worthless-Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, the first two Muslim women elected to Congress. Both support the BDS movement.One Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, voted against the resolution. The measure “opposes the Global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement (BDS Movement) targeting Israel, including efforts to target United States companies that are engaged in commercial activities that are legal under United States law, and all efforts to delegitimize the State of Israel.” Democratic Illinois Representative Brad Schneider. (Courtesy/JTA) It also says that the BDS campaign “undermines the possibility for a negotiated solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by demanding concessions of one party alone and encouraging the Palestinians to reject negotiations in favor of international pressure.” Democratic Rep. Brad Schneider of Illinois originally sponsored the resolution, which had gained 349 co-sponsors by the time it was voted on...  https://www.timesofisrael.com/us-house-overwhelmingly-passes-anti-bds-resolution/?utm_source=The+Daily+Edition&utm_campaign=daily-edition-2019-07-24&utm_medium=email

{ dailywire.com } ~ South Korea has reportedly fired warning shots after Russian military planes violated the nation's airspace on Tuesday... according to South Korea’s Defense Ministry.  The Associated Press reported that, according to South Korea's Defense Ministry, "multiple Russian military planes violated the South Korean airspace off its east coast" and "Chinese military planes also intruded into South Korea’s aerial identification zone." South Korea reportedly scrambled fighter jets that fired the warning shots. The provocation comes after "two Russian military aircraft violated South Korea's air defense identification zone last Thursday, prompting the Air Force to scramble fighter jets in response," the Korea Herald reported. The incident comes as North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un "inspected a large newly built submarine, state news agency KCNA reported on Tuesday, potentially signalling continued development of a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) program," Reuters reported...

By JARED HARRIS 
{ westernjournal.com } ~ In a speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue, an Asian defense summit, General Wei Fenghe of the People’s Republic of China proudly boasted... that his country stands ready to “fight at all costs for national unity.” General Wei’s threat isn’t as innocent or defense-minded as it seems. It’s pointed directly at a neighboring country — Taiwan. The tiny island nation is all that remains of the Republic of China, the losing side in the bitter and bloody civil war that saw Communist domination of the Chinese mainland. “China must be and will be reunified,” General Wei said. “We find no excuse not to do so.”Shortly after the general’s speech, the People’s Liberation Army fired a salvo of missiles in a secretive test, according to The Washington Free Beacon. While it’s not clear whether the missiles were land-based Dongfeng missiles or China’s new JL-3 submarine-launched weapon, both are nuclear capable and equally frightening. But how did it get to this point? For over a hundred and fifty years, China has been struggling to throw off what they see as the yoke of Western imperialism. Starting before the turn of the 20th century, the country under one government or another was dealt a series of eye-opening losses at the hands of their technologically advanced rivals. For a people that saw themselves as being led directly by just and powerful rulers chosen by the Mandate of Heaven, this was a blow they never truly recovered from.The British Empire gained territory and forced addictive opioids on the Chinese people through the Opium Wars. An eight-nation alliance later crushed the Boxer Rebellion and enforced a humiliating set of demands known as the Boxer Protocols. Imperial Japan raped, pillaged, and burned their way through the coast in the early days of World War II. But China has had enough. Now, their economy and military dwarfs that of their former rivals. Japan’s military was neutered and weakened through a US-framed constitution in the aftermath of the second World War. The British fleet is a shadow of its former glory, and poses no threat in the faraway Pacific. The Republic of China, the only true threat the Chinese Communist Party ever faced, is now bottled up on a mountainous island and outnumbered 50-to-1...

Nate Jackson:  Special Counsel Robert Mueller opened his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee this morning by reiterating what he asserted at his post-report press conference in May: “I do not intend to summarize or describe the results of our work in a different way in the course of my testimony today. As I said on May 29, the [448-page] report is my testimony. And I will stay within that text. And as I stated in May, I also will not comment on the actions of the attorney general or of Congress. I was appointed as a prosecutor, and I intend to adhere to that role and to the [Justice] Department’s standards that govern it.”

Mueller had initially insisted he would not testify before Congress, but he eventually reached a deal to do so. He would have been better off not showing up today, because it’s been a slow-motion train wreck.

According to The Federalist’s Sean Davis, “I’m not sure anyone could have done more to discredit Mueller’s report and investigation than Mueller is doing right now. He can’t answer simple questions about his own investigation, fumbles answers about his own report, and seems utterly befuddled by what’s happening.” Specifically, Mueller said he wasn’t familiar with Fusion GPS or Glenn Simpson, its founder, despite Fusion being the firm that produced the phony Christopher Steele dossier — funded by scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton and the DNC — that got the whole collusion hoax off the ground. Mueller said in his opening statement that he would not discuss “the so-called ‘Steele dossier’” because it was “the subject of ongoing review” by the FBI and “it’s outside my purview,” but the appearance of being stumped by basic questions is nonetheless troubling.

Davis also observes, “Mueller just said his deputy, who was the personal attorney for the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton aide who smashed her Blackberries, was in charge of ‘day-to-day oversight’ of Mueller’s investigation. What exactly was Mueller doing?” For two years and $35 million, we might add. Furthermore, the fact that scumbag/liar-Clinton’s people were the ones composing Mueller’s team exposed it from the beginning as a partisan witch hunt. That those hunters still found no witches is even more telling.

Fox News’s Brit Hume notes, “Mueller stumbles badly on whether ‘collusion’ is a synonym for ‘conspiracy’ in Russian election interference. He says no, only to have his report quoted back to him saying the words are synonymous. He then says he’ll go with what the report says.” Maybe Mueller should have reviewed his own report prior to coming to Capitol Hill.

Democrats, of course, moved the goal posts to “obstruction of justice” — as in alleging that Trump committed it against Mueller’s investigation. Mueller has always been as ambiguous as possible about this. His report specifically did not exonerate Trump, and today he said simply “Yes” when asked if the president could be charged with obstruction after leaving office.

But he also could not provide a single other instance in which the subject of an investigation had to prove his innocence. “Can you give me an example other than Donald Trump where the Justice Department determined that an investigated person was not exonerated because their innocence was not conclusively determined?” asked Rep. John Ratcliffe. “I cannot,” Mueller answered, “but this is a unique situation.” Ratcliffe fired back, “It doesn’t exist.” That’s because “the bedrock principle of our justice system is a presumption of innocence.”

Mueller still must testify before the House Intelligence Committee this afternoon, so stay tuned for more thrilling excitement from the never-ending story.  ~The Patriot Post

fus-1.jpg?profile=RESIZE_710xSlowly, little by little, the liberal’s 2020 platform is coming together, and it is exactly as we have always said it would be.

Naturally, at the top of the platform is “get Trump.” That’s been a given since the wee hours of the morning on November 9th, 2016 when their anointed candidate, not so much Obama light, but Obama white was too plastered, and too angry to address the snowflakes who left her “victory” party like a glacier leaves a hillside.

While the whole Mueller witch hunt of an investigation failed as profoundly as did Hillary, the chants of “RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA” have become chants of “RACISM, RACISM, RACISM.”

But what else is there for liberals?

Mueller’s opening statement
by Sierra Marlee 
{ bizpacreview.com } ~ Head of the former Special Council Robert Mueller’s highly anticipated public hearing is finally here. He is testifying before the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees on his final report regarding the Russian collusion and obstruction investigations... Democrats have been trying for quite some time to make this hearing happen. despite insistence from Mueller that he did not want to be brought before Congress – and that his final report was his final word on the topic. In his opening statement to the bi-partisan committees, which according to reportshad not been seen by the Department of Justice, Mueller said that he took the role as the head of the Special Council because he believed it was an issue of national importance. “In addition to the criminal charges we brought, as required by Justice Department regulations, we submitted a confidential report to the Attorney General at the conclusion of our investigation. The report set forth the results of our work, and and reasons for our charging and declination decisions. The Attorney General later made the report largely public. As you know I made a few limited remarks about our report when we closed the Special Council’s office in May of this year. There are certain points that bear emphasis. First, our investigation found that the Russian government interfered in our election in sweeping and systematic fashion. Second, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired with the Russian government in its election interference activities.  We did not address “collusion” which is not a legal term. Rather, we focused on whether the evidence was sufficient to charge with any member with taking part in a criminal conspiracy, and it was not.” Mueller reiterated that the Special Council “would not make a determination as to whether the president committed a crime. That was our decision then and it remains our decision today.”  Republicans and Democrats alike will get the chance to grill Mueller on his handling of the Russia investigation, why he refused to pursue obstruction charges against President Trump, and ultimately whether the president will or should face impeachment proceedings...

Gohmert Questioning: Mueller Says He Was 
“Not A Candidate” For FBI Director During

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ After a few rounds of questioning it is now clear that Robert Mueller was selected by a pre-existing group of DOJ and FBI officials... Mueller didn’t pick his team; the DOJ/FBI team that was already carrying out the “insurance policy” against Trump, selected him. During questioning from Representative Louie Gohmert, special counsel Robert Mueller said he was not in the Oval Office May 16th, 2017, for a meeting with President Trump as “a candidate” to be the FBI Director.   And thus a picture gains clarity…Unfortunately Louie Gohmert did not follow up with questions about why Robert Mueller was in the Oval Office on May 16, 2017, or whose idea it was for the meeting. However, putting together the information previously provided by Andrew McCabe it’s now likely DAG Rod Rosenstein guided Mueller to the meeting – by telling President Trump one reason; and telling Robert Mueller something completely different. Mueller implies in his testimony his appearance was to discuss the general qualifications of an FBI Director. Mueller specifically says he was not there as “a candidate” for the position. However, President Trump and Vice-President Pence were advised that Robert Mueller was applying for the job of FBI Director...

Trump Peace Envoy Scolds U.N.: 
Israel Bashing Will Not Foster Peace

by Adam Kredo 
{ freebeacon.com } ~ President Donald Trump's Middle East peace envoy on Tuesday delivered a scathing rebuke of the United Nations before the body's Security Council... telling member states that the organization's constant Israel bashing does nothing to help the parties get any closer to worthwhile negotiations. Jason Greenblatt, the administration's special representative for international negotiations, took an unprecedented stand at the U.N., telling international leaders their anti-Israel "drumbeat of tired rhetoric" is "designed to prevent progress and bypass direct negotiations." Palestinians will not earn themselves a state by continuously bashing Israel, sponsoring terrorism, and using the U.N. as cover to delegitimize the Jewish state, Greenblatt said. His remarks come as the Trump administration works to garner support for the economic portion of its Israeli-Palestinian peace plan. This includes galvanizing regional leaders to back multi-million dollar investments in the Palestinian territories in order to help build the infrastructure for a future state. The second portion of the administration's plan, which still remains secret, will focus on land swaps and other mechanisms meant to facilitate a final peace agreement. The Palestinian government's continued use of the U.N. to bash Israel, the furor from it and its international partners at the U.N. at the Trump administration's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital city, as well its unilateral demands that East Jerusalem be the future capital of its state, will not alter the factual realities on the ground Greenblatt said, in some of the most direct comments on the matter to date. "It is true the PLO [Palestinian Liberation Organization] and the Palestinian Authority continue to assert that East Jerusalem must be a capital for the Palestinians," Greenblatt said. "But let's remember: An aspiration is not a right."...

{ freebeacon.com } ~ The State Department has warned China to halt "bullying" in the South China Sea as part of a dispute with Vietnam over oil and gas exploration in the disputed waterway... In a blunt statement issued Saturday, department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said China was interfering with Vietnam's "long-standing" exploration and production of undersea energy resources. "China's repeated provocative actions aimed at the offshore oil and gas development of other claimant states threaten regional energy security and undermine the free and open Indo-Pacific energy market," Ortagus said. "China should cease its bullying behavior and refrain from engaging in this type of provocative and destabilizing activity," she stated. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said earlier this year that China has been blocking development in the South China Sea through coercive measures and as a result is preventing regional states from developing an estimated $2.5 trillion in energy reserves...

NORTHCOM Says U.S., Canada Must Maintain 
‘Clear-Eyed’ View of Arctic Threats

By John Grady
{ news.usni.org } ~ The United States and Canada must maintain a “clear-eyed” view of new security challenges in the Arctic, to include the ability of Russian submarines to launch cruise missiles from the region... the head of U.S. Northern Command said on Monday. The region could be “an avenue of approach” for the Russians to exploit, Air Force Gen. Terrence O’Shaughnessy said at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. O’Shaughnessy specifically mentioned improved Russian submarines carrying cruise missiles and the country’s development of hypersonic weapons as being growing concerns that he and all the regional commanders are facing. To that end, it’s important that air, land and sea forces “have the right kit, the right experiences” to understand how to operate under the harsh conditions of the region, and he called for more exercises in the region. When asked about the Coast Guard’s role in the region, he said, “we’re reliant on its capability,” particularly for heavy icebreaking missions – a capability that is questionable now. The old heavy icebreaker “Polar Star (WAGB-10) is not the answer. … It’s way beyond its service life.” In terms of new of new hulls, “we need that capacity; we need to accelerate that,” the general said. On countering or deterring hypersonic weapons that could be used in the Arctic or Europe by Russia or in the Pacific by China, O’Shaughnessy said the “trajectory it flies” poses the challenge that needs to be addressed. He expressed hope that a mix of high-tech and low-tech space-based sensors in different orbits using a single architecture could provide the necessary tracking of these weaponsthat can be maneuvered to different targets. O’Shaughnessy also serves as commander of North American Aerospace Defense, a bi-national organization with Canada. Although relations between Ottawa and Washington over trade and economic issues have been testy, he said on security strategy the two governments are in alignment on assessing the international challenges posed by Moscow and Beijing. He added “military-to-military relations remain rock steady. NORAD is stronger than it has ever been.”...

Why Was a Saudi Attacked by Palestinians?

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ When Saudi blogger Mohamed Saud arrived at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on July 22, he apparently thought he would peacefully pray at the site before proceeding to tour the markets of the Old City of Jerusalem... Moreover, Saud apparently believed that as an Arab Muslim, he would be warmly welcomed by his Palestinian brothers. He was wrong. The moment Palestinians noticed the Saudi blogger at one of Islam's holiest sites, they demonstrated to him how they treat their Arab brothers. Videos that surfaced on social media showed a number of Palestinians hurling insults and spitting at Saud. One Palestinian later threw a plastic chair at him as he left the compound. What did the Saudi visitor do to deserve this humiliation and physical abuse? What crime did he commit to be denounced as "garbage," "animal," and "traitor" and "Zionist?" The unfortunate Saudi's crime -- in the eyes of the Palestinians -- was that he was part of a delegation of Arab journalists invited to visit Israel. Such visits are often condemned by Palestinians as actions that lead to promoting normalization between Arabs and Israel. The Palestinians are strongly opposed to any form of normalization with Israel and consider it tantamount to treason. They are afraid that if the Arabs normalize their relations with Israel, they will stop caring about the Palestinians. The Palestinian position is that there can be no normalization between Israel and the Arabs before the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is resolved. This humiliating treatment was far from an isolated incident. The moment Palestinian media organizations learned about the arrival of the journalists to Israel, they rushed to issue statements denouncing the delegation and calling on Arabs and Muslims to blacklist the visitors...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/14588/palestinians-assault-saudi-blogger

{ americanthinker.com } ~ In the lead-up to the 2016 election, an array of economists, financial media, and academics were making rosy predictions of where financial markets would be headed after scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton won... and correspondingly dire forecasts for the markets if “somehow Donald Trump shocked the world on Election Day.” Typical was a CNN financial writer who gloomily wrote: “If Donald Trump wins the election, U.S. stocks and likely many other markets overseas will almost certainly tank… A Trump victory would be ‘America’s Brexit’… it would shock U.S. and global markets… A Trump triumph would likely cause investors to flee stocks to the safety of gold and bonds.” Another in Politico expressed the sentiment of the Democratic Party by saying that, “Wall Street is set up for a major crash if Donald Trump…wins the White House.”  In a Brookings Institution paper, university professors projected a “10-15% nosedive” and noted that “Wall Street clearly prefers a scumbag/liar-Clinton win certainly from the prospective of equity prices … Should Trump somehow manage to win you could see major Brexit-style selling.” One Wall Street money manager went so far as to place a value on a scumbag/liar-Clinton victory, confidently asserting that “the stock market is worth 11 percent more under a scumbag/liar-Clinton presidency than a Trump presidency.” On post-election Wednesday, Noble laureate Paul Krugman warned “the economic fallout of a Donald Trump presidency will probably be severe and widespread enough to plunge the world into recession.” How did that all work out? Stock market performance during the Trump administration’s first two years was the second-best first two years on record, trailing only that of Franklin D. Roosevelt. As this past June ended, President Donald Trump celebrated the strongest second quarter stock market performance in more than the two decades. When U.S. markets closed on Friday, June 29, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) hit 26,599. The S&P 500 reached 2,941, and the NASDAQ Composite Index eclipsed 8,000. The S&P, the index many analysts hold as the best indicator of market strength, increased 3.8% from the previous quarter and 17% since the beginning of this year. The former represents the largest increase since 1997. Since then, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has surpassed the 27,000 mark for the first time in history...    https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/07/wall_street_main_street_and_2020.html

Does Anyone Care About the National Debt?

Nate Jackson:  “Nobody is a fiscal conservative anymore,” declared Rush Limbaugh last week. “All this talk about concern for the deficit and the budget has been bogus for as long as it’s been around.” Limbaugh wasn’t being literal, but he was making a point that has become painfully clear over the last 20 years: Neither party can be trusted to rein in federal spending.

Negotiations are ongoing between Congress and the White House over a two-year spending deal, but reports indicate that in exchange for raising or suspending the debt limit, everyone will spend more money. Yes, you read that correctly.

To be fair, negotiators for President Donald Trump pushed for minor cuts, but even that was too austere for House Speaker liar-Nancy Pulosi. She rejected cuts of $150 billion over 10 years, during which time the federal government is on track to spend $57 trillion. As Reason’s Eric Boehm notes, “In the context of a $50,000 annual household budget, that’s like cutting about $150 per year — the cost of a single lunch each month. That’s hardly enough to get the federal government out from under $22 trillion in debt.”

Oh, and by the way, The Daily Signal notes the bill for that debt “currently averages $67,000 for every single American.”

On the downside, Trump has essentially yawned as the annual federal deficit once again approaches $1 trillion. He has given vague instructions to aids about looking for big cuts in his second term, but what are the chances of those cuts coming to pass?

Why is the debt problem so intractable? Essentially, there are two reasons. First, the debt apocalypse so many have warned of has yet to materialize. We’ve argued that it’s gradual and then sudden, but few people pay it much mind until they feel the consequences. It’s like the fable about the slow-boiling frog.

Second, corruption in the Swamp is rampant. Political favors and graft for constituents in 435 congressional districts and all 50 states mean that someone is very invested in each part of the federal budget — especially the lobbyists who make sure it stays there. Cuts are only acceptable for the other guy’s priorities, which means those cuts never actually happen. Follow the money.

The House adjourns for a six-week recess Friday, while the Senate hangs around for another week. In any case, as long as Washington politicians — the president included — view the debt ceiling as a bigger problem than the debt itself, the American fiscal train will continue barreling ahead at full steam until it can’t anymore.  ~The Patriot Post

Media Editors:  Government & Politics


MUELLER TESTIFIES: “Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller was frequently tripped up and forced to ask lawmakers to repeat their questions during his rapid-fire questioning on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, though he reportedly prepared at length for the hearings. At one point, he even said he wasn’t familiar with Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm behind the controversial anti-Trump dossier.” (Fox News)

ESPER CONFIRMED: “The Senate voted to confirm President Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Defense, Mark Esper. The Senate overwhelmingly voted 90-8 to confirm him. … The Pentagon has been without a Senate-confirmed leader since December, when former Secretary James Mattis stepped down following Mr. Trump’s decision to withdraw troops from Syria.” (CBS News)

BIG TECH PROBE: “The Department of Justice is opening a sweeping anti-trust review to determine whether the country’s leading technology firms are stifling competition in violation of federal law.” (National Review)

ISRAEL BOYCOTT REPUDIATED: “The House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved a bipartisan resolution Tuesday opposing an international effort to boycott Israel as Democrats try to tamp down increasingly heated political rhetoric over differences with the longtime U.S. ally. The resolution passed on a vote of 398-17. Reps. worthless-Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., worthless-Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., were among the 16 Democrats who voted against the resolution.” (Fox News)

TRUMP’S RETURN FIRE: “President Donald Trump on Tuesday filed a lawsuit seeking to prevent the House Ways and Means Committee from obtaining his state tax returns through a newly passed New York law. The president’s lawyers said the state law was nothing more than an effort to get information about his personal finances to embarrass him politically.” (NBC News)

commie-SANDERS FLAK: “Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) 2020 presidential campaign has been hit with an unfair labor practice complaint alleging illegal employee interrogation and retaliation against staffers. The July 19 complaint to the National Labor Relations Board, filed by an unnamed individual in Indiana, was posted to the agency’s website late July 22. It comes as tense negotiations between the commie-Sanders campaign and the union representing staffers recently boiled over publicly.” (Bloomberg Law)

worthless-OMAR FLAK: “Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch filed a complaint with the House of Representatives’ ethics office asking for an investigation into possible crimes committed by Minnesota Democratic Rep. worthless-Ilhan Omar. The possible crimes include ‘perjury, immigration fraud, marriage fraud, state and federal tax fraud, and federal student loan fraud,’ according to the complaint filed Tuesday by Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton.” (The Daily Caller News Foundation)

Legislation & Manifestos


9/11 VICTIM FUND: “The Senate gave final legislative approval Tuesday to a bill ensuring that a victims’ compensation fund related to the Sept. 11 attacks never runs out of money. The 97-2 vote sends the bill to President Donald Trump, who is expected to sign it.” (Associated Press)

STUDENT-LOAN HANDOUT: “Democratic 2020 presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren on Tuesday released details about her plan to cancel approximately $640 million in student loan debt for millions of Americans. First unveiled in April, the Student Loan Debt Relief Act … would cancel up to $50,000 in student loan debt for every household with a gross income less than $100,000, roughly 42 million Americans, or about three out of four borrowers.” (Fox News)

loose lips liar-BIDEN PANDERS: “Former vice president loose lips liar-Joe Biden on Tuesday released a sweeping plan to reform the U.S. criminal-justice system, in an effort to quiet criticisms of his role in tightening crime laws decades ago as a senator, which critics say contributed to mass incarceration,” reports National Review. “loose lips liar-Biden’s plan involves reducing incarceration, eliminating race-, gender-, and income-based disparities in the justice system, and refocusing the system on ‘redemption and rehabilitation.’” Or, as Reason puts it, “loose lips liar-Joe Biden’s New Criminal Justice Platform Calls for Eliminating Harsh Policies Sponsored by loose lips liar-Joe Biden.”

Polling


IMMIGRATION: “After hitting a new high last month, mentions of immigration as the most important problem facing the U.S. increased further to 27% in July. Since Gallup began regularly recording mentions of the issue in 1993, immigration has been cited by an average of 6% of Americans, though it has been higher in recent years.” (Gallup)

‘THE SQUAD’ WHO? “Though many Americans have never heard of [Reps. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, worthless-Ilhan Omar, worthless-Ayanna Pressley, and worthless-Rashida Tlaib], a CBS News poll released this week shows that those who are familiar with them don’t tend to view them favorably. commie-Ocasio-Cortez has the highest favorable rating at 23%, followed by worthless-Omar at 19%, worthless-Tlaib at 18% and worthless-Pressley at 17%.” (USA Today)

Other Notables


MORE BARK THAN BITE: “More than 2,000 migrants who were in the United States illegally were targeted in widely publicized raids that unfolded across the country last week. But figures the government provided to The New York Times on Monday show that just 35 people were detained in the operation.” (The New York Times)

MEXICO HOMICIDE RECORD: “Mexico set a new record for homicides in the first half of the year as the number of murders grew by 5.3% compared to the same period of 2018, fueled partly by cartel and gang violence in several states. Mexico saw 3,080 killings in June, an increase of over 8% from the same month a year ago, according to official figures. The country of almost 125 million now sees as many as 100 killings per day nationwide. The 17,608 killings in the first half of 2019 is the most since comparable records began being kept in 1997, including the peak year of Mexico’s drug war in 2011.” (Associated Press)

{ foxnews.com } ~ The Senate overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan bill to ensure a victims' compensation fund related to the Sept. 11 attacks never runs out of money... fulfilling a pledge made by President Trump and ending years of uncertainty as the fund rapidly depleted. Lawmakers sent the bill to President Trump's desk after a 97-2 vote in favor of the legislation. Only two Republicans, Sens. Rand Paul and Mike Lee, voted no. "While I support our heroic first responders, I can’t in good conscience vote for legislation which to my dismay remains unfunded," Paul wrote on Twitter. "We have a nearly trillion dollar deficit and $22 trillion in debt. Spending is out of control." He added: "As I have done on countless issues, including disaster relief and wall funding, I will always take a stand against borrowing more money to pay for programs rather than setting priorities and cutting waste." September 11th first responder John Feal had told Fox News that Trump  contacted him by phone on Tuesday and told him the  9/11 victims' compensation fund bill would be passed by the Senate that day, and signed into law on Friday. The White House called me this morning -- for the men and women that I keep bringing down here after 15 years, and I'm just so ecstatic for them" Feal said on "America's Newsroom" Tuesday. The vote came after New York Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck scumbag-Schumer, both Democrats, reached an agreement with Lee and Paul to bring up the bill with two amendments sponsored by the GOP senators...  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/9-11-victims-fund-bill-passes-senate-first-responders

Trenga; a jury has convicted Rafiekian, Alptekin and the Flynn Intel Group of not filing the correct FARA paperwork and therefore evidencing a conspiratorial intention to falsify documents. DOJ Press Announcement – After three hours of deliberations a federal jury convicted a California man today on charges of conspiring to act as an agent of a foreign government, conspiring to make false statements and willful omissions in a FARA filing, and acting as an agent of a foreign government.

{ godfatherpolitics.com } ~ One of the cases involved in the prosecution of General Michael Flynn has returned a verdict of guilty on Tuesday... but in so doing the government violated Judge Emmet Sullivan’s orders for Gen. Flynn’s cooperation despite that he has fully cooperated for two years. Federal prosecutors seem to have suddenly decided that Flynn’s testimony ordered by Judge Sullivan would not be beneficial to their case which prevented Flynn from bringing the truth to the court of law as planned. Apparently, the government did not want to use Flynn’s testimony effectively defecating all over judge Sullivan’s order that they do so. On Tuesday, a federal jury convicted Bijan Rafiekian, Gen. Flynn’s former business partner, on a pair of foreign-agent felony charges connected to work the two did for Turkey during the tail of President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign for president. Flynn would later go on to serve as President Trump’s national security adviser. The 67-year-old Rafiekian was convicted for being an unregistered foreign agent in the U.S., and conspiracy to violate the law. He was also charged with making false statements to the Department of Justice. Rafiekian was convicted despite the fact government prosecutors could not prove that Turkey funded the project at the center of the government’s case, according to the  Washington Post. Rafiekian faces up to a 15-year prison sentence on two felony counts. But the decision in the Alexandria courtroom shocked Flynn’s attorney, Sidney Powell. On Tuesday afternoon, Powell uncharacteristically took to Twitter to voice her concerns over the actions of the government in the Rafiekian case. “A jury in Alexandria just returned verdicts of guilty against Mr. Rafiekian for ‘conspiracy & acting as an unregistered agent of Turkey,'” Powell tweeted. “We note: General Flynn has cooperated with the government for two years. Obviously, they did not need his testimony to get a conviction.”...

Trump sues House Ways and Means panel 
to block disclosure of his tax returns

{ cnbc.com } ~ President Donald Trump on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against the Democrat-led House Ways and Means Committee, as well as New York state’s attorney general and its tax chief... to block the disclosure of years of his tax returns. The president’s lawsuit, which was filed “in his capacity as a private citizen,” came less than a month after the Ways and Means Committee sued the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service to obtain Trump’s federal returns. Trump’s new legal action intervenes in that suit, according to the complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. Trump’s lawyers argue that the House panel “lacks a legitimate legislative purpose” to use a recently passed New York state law to get Trump’s returns. They also claim that state law violated the president’s First Amendment rights, because it was enacted to “discriminate and retaliate against President Trump for his speech and politics.” “We have filed a lawsuit today in our ongoing efforts to end Presidential harassment,” said Trump’s lawyer, Jay Sekulow, in a statement. “The actions taken by the House and New York officials are nothing more than political retribution.” Trump has refused to show his tax documents before or after winning the 2016 presidential election, despite a longstanding tradition among modern presidential candidates to disclose their returns...

commie-Sanders Campaign Collides With Economic Reality
SNpQu3zjRE9fYvdPYWSvRG3HPZDy9KGMW_3lDJdheWJaPYJM_60edD_ImbL5KLGe4wz3PyDyKoewio6GEnzpaAcVuX_CVj9lSnG506Jzqe-VmtzLso7rtkjh48i4C9aXBMcA5e6a5nKRZ6FebSgv3xoz8cGlkxF9ydh8sFg=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Thomas Gallatin:  News leaked last week that staffers working for Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign were frustrated and complaining about receiving “poverty wages.” The irony is rich: Sanders the millionaire socialist has long railed against corporations for paying “starvation wages” as he stumps for a $15 minimum wage, but he was exposed as a hypocritical political hack.

In response to the embarrassing news, commie-Sanders insisted over the weekend that his staffers would now be paid the promised $15 minimum wage, though this announcement came with a significant caveat: staffers’ hours would be cut to pay for it. As commie-Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir explained, “We look forward to continuing those discussions and obviously are disappointed that some individuals decided to damage the integrity of these efforts before they were concluded. As these discussions continue, we are limiting hours so no employee is receiving less than $15 for any hours worked.” Welcome to real-world economics. Yet Shakir and his boss threw those complaining staffers under the bus for the sin of naively believing that commie-Sanders  actually meant what he so loudly preaches.

commie-Sanders himself expressed anger at his complaining staffers, stating, “It does bother me that people are going outside the process and going to the media. That is really not acceptable. It is really not what labor negotiations are about, and it’s improper.” Spoken like any good socialist dictator, “Your time is my time.”

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) quipped, “So does this fall under the category of hypocrisy, irony, or poetic justice? All three? Can’t make this stuff up.”

The Blaze’s Aaron Colen noted the obvious economic problems associated with artificially raising the minimum wage, stating, “This situation is an instructive example of the downside of more than doubling the minimum wage. Companies don’t just suddenly get more money to pay employees. They have to make tough decisions; usually either cutting hours, or worse, cutting staff.”

What will the greater impact of this be upon the rest of the Democrat primary field? Clearly, Sanders would love to force the rest of his opponents into spending their campaign cash to match his expensive virtue signal. Nevertheless, we fully expect Democrats will continue to ignore the Congressional Budget Office’s recent reportwarning that a $15 minimum wage would cost at least 1.3 million jobs, while at the same time raising the cost of living for millions more. Socialism is only for the true believers.  ~The Patriot Post

As Predicted – Mueller Will Not Testify Alone – Handler Aaron Zebley Now Added

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ The schemes of liar-Nancy Pulosi, scumbag-Adam Schiff and scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler are predictable. As we said three months ago, Robert Mueller would not be allowed to testify without a handler... Small group participant Aaron Zebly will now join Mueller for his testimony.  This has always been the plan, but strategically announced today. Remember, Mueller’s team is working closely with scumbag liar-Nadler’s team; they are part of the same purpose. They are all part of the same network. The impeachment objective is a group effort from inside government & outside Lawfare. These are not separate groups. The pre-planning was why Chairman scumbag liar-Nadler hired Lawfare Group members to become committee staff. Chairman scumbag-Schiff hired former SDNY U.S. Attorney Daniel Goldman, and Chairman scumbag liar-Nadler hired scumbag/liar -nObama administration lawyer Norm Eisen and criminal defense attorney Barry Berke.  All these participants are within the Lawfare network. Aaron Zebly is just another key player in the coordinated group. Former special counsel Robert Mueller has made a last-minute request to have one of his longtime aides appear as a witness during his highly-anticipated testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, one congressional source told NBC News on Tuesday. Mueller has requested that Aaron Zebley appear with him when he testifies on Wednesday about his report on Russian interference in the 2016 election and collusion and obstruction by President Donald Trump...  https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/07/23/as-predicted-mueller-will-not-testify-alone-handler-aaron-zebley-now-added/

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ The media has been apoplectic in selling outrage over the U.S. Department of Justice sending a letter to Robert Mueller with guidelines for his testimony... House Judiciary Committee Chairman scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler appeared on morning TV shows today to decry the hubris of the letter calling it “incredibly arrogant” of Bill Barr to send such instructions. However, in the background, for those who watch these manufactured events, you can see that everything around this “letter” was staged.  Everything around this letter was intentionally designed by the Lawfare group; which includes scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler’s staff.  Yes, it is revealed today…. the Lawfare staff of Chairman scumbag liar-Nadler -who are coordinating with Mueller’s staff- requested the letter to set-up a manufactured narrative before the testimony. Essentially, team scumbag liar-Nadler and team Mueller requested the letter, so that swcumbag liar-Nadler could decry it. That’s the textbook definition of manufacturing outrage: House Judiciary Committee Chairman scumbag liar-Jerrold Nadler said Mueller did not need to follow the instructions contained in the letter. “He does not have to comply with that letter. He doesn’t work for them. And that letter asks things that are beyond the power of the agency to ask even if he still worked for them,” scumbag liar-Nadler said in a CNN interview. “I think it’s incredibly arrogant of the department to try to instruct him in what to say,” scumbag liar-Nadler added. “It’s part of the ongoing cover-up by the administration to keep information away from the American people.”...scumbag liar-Nadler is full of you know what is a big fat liar.

Ramifications of Social Security 2100 Act for 
Program Participants Would Be Substantial

By Charles Blahous
{ cnsnews.com } ~ Advocates of Social Security expansion have declared their intention to move the “Social Security 2100 Act” through the House of Representatives before August recess... The bill, introduced by Rep. John Larson (D., Conn.), has more than 200 co-sponsors. Its sponsors deserve credit for putting forth a comprehensive Social Security plan that is specific, scored by the Social Security Administration Chief Actuary and, though it contains elements clearly designed to appeal to certain ideological and special interests, also doesn’t shy away from difficult policy and political choices. But even granting this credit to the legislation’s sponsors, the bill nevertheless reflects highly controversial positions with respect to a number of serious policy challenges facing Social Security. Rather than debate the subjective value judgments made in the legislation, this article presents key facts and figures that highlight some of its problematic features. #1: Low-income workers’ payroll tax burdens would rise 19 percent. In order to fund its significant benefit expansion, the Social Security 2100 Act would increase payroll taxes on all U.S. workers, including the poorest ones. While many low-income American workers pay no federal income taxes, they nevertheless do pay payroll taxes. The Social Security tax rate would gradually rise over several years from 12.4 percent to 14.8 percent, which when fully phased in would represent a 19% increase in low-income workers’ payroll tax burdens. #2: Real (inflation-adjusted) benefits for high-income workers would be 66 percent higher by mid-century. Much of the bill’s tax increase on low-income workers would be spent on higher benefits for richer ones. Initial Social Security benefit levels already grow faster than price inflation because of an indexing mechanism in current law. The legislation would accelerate this benefit growth, doing so especially rapidly for the highest-income beneficiaries. This can be illustrated via the example of a high-income worker with earnings consistently at twice the Social Security taxable maximum an annual earnings level of about $266,000 today. Under current-law, benefits for a retiree in 2050 with earnings of twice the current-law taxable maximum are scheduled to be a full 51 percent higher than what’s paid to today’s high-income retiree, adjusted for inflation. Most mainstream analysts believe that this benefit growth needs to be moderated, at least for higher-income workers, to protect Social Security’s finances. But the bill would actually increase this growth still further, to 66 percent by 2050. #3: Total Social Security payroll tax burdens would rise by over 40 percent. Under current law, one substantial cost of employment is the 12.4 percent Social Security payroll tax assessed up to a maximum of $132,900 of a worker’s earnings. This cap is statutorily indexed to grow in most years. The bill would gradually increase the Social Security payroll tax rate to 14.8 percent as well as eventually eliminate the cap. These two effects together would increase total Social Security payroll tax burdens nationally by over 40 percent. This would also increase the total Social Security plus Medicare payroll tax rate from its current 15.3 percent to 17.7 percent. #4: Retirement benefits for the lowest-income quintile of workers would exceed 95 percent of their prior earnings. #5: Social Security payroll tax burdens for high-income workers would be multiplied 2.4 times. #6: Errors under the bill’s proposed method for measuring price inflation would cause benefit overpayments of over 10 percent relative to accurate calculations, mostly benefiting higher-income people who live longer. #7: Typical beneficiaries in mid-century would spend over 37 percent of their adult lives collecting Social Security benefits. #8: Young workers’ lifetime income would be reduced by more than 2 percent of their career earnings because of Social Security...

Congress to Vote On Anti-BDS Resolution

{ jewishjournal.com } ~ The House of Representatives will hold a vote this week on a resolution to combat the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement... The resolution, H.R.246, unanimously passed the House Committee on Foreign Affairs by voice vote on July 18 as part of an en bloc package with several other pieces of legislation. Rep. worthless-Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) was present during the markup hearing and stated she will not support the en bloc package the resolution was a part of, and left the committee room before the vote was held. The resolution states that the House of Representatives opposes the BDS movement; affirms that the BDS movement undermines the possibility for a negotiated solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; urges Israelis and Palestinians to return to direct negotiations; supports the full implementation of the United States-Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2014; and reaffirms support for the two-state solution. The resolution has been formally endorsed by the Problem Solvers Caucus, a bipartisan caucus co-chaired by Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) and Rep. Tom Reid (R-N.Y.). “BDS is anti-Israel, anti-peace and harmful to America’s interests,” Gottheimer said. “I’m proud that all members of the Problem Solvers Caucus are committed to opposing BDS and standing up for the U.S.-Israel relationship because these should not be partisan political issues. Thanks to the leadership of Congressmen Brad Schneider and Steve Watkins, this bipartisan resolution has even more momentum for a vote on the House floor.” “Israel is an unwavering ally of the United States and one of our most important strategic partners around the globe,” Reid said. “I am proud of our Problem Solvers Caucus members who have to stood up to ensure Jewish people are treated fairly and spoken out to show we care about this great nation.” Schneider is an Illinois Democrat and Watkins is a Kansas Republican. Other members of the Problem Solvers Caucus spoke about their support for the resolution as well. “This resolution makes clear that Congress continues to support preserving a path to a negotiated two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with two peoples living side by side in peace, security and prosperity,” said Schneider, who introduced the resolution. “Towards that end, we also oppose the global BDS movement, which seeks to delegitimize the state of Israel by denying the Jewish people’s claim to a homeland. I appreciate the support of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus for this resolution and stand with my colleagues against efforts to push further out of reach a two-state solution and peace for both Israel and the Palestinians.”...

CAIR Leader's Consequence-Free Anti-Semitism

{ investigativeproject.org } ~ He's a public figure who repeatedly preaches about the evil done by Jews. They're accursed, he said last month, justifying the claim with scripture. They incurred God's justifiable wrath, he said in 2012, also citing scripture... And today, he argues that the Jewish state is partly to blame when American police officers kill unarmed black people. It might sound like Louis Farrakhan, but it's not. It's not even someone generally regarded as a fringe character. These blatantly anti-Semitic statements come from Dawud Walid, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Michigan office. He's also an assistant imam at Detroit's Masjid Wali Muhammad. In a June 21 khutbah, or sermon, Walid rails against sexual immorality, particularly adultery, sodomy, and lesbianism, saying that "even us here in this society that is majority non-Muslim, if we want to protect the society, to help the society be healthy, then we have to be involved in promoting that which is just and wholesome and forbid that which is unjust and not wholesome." That sounds like a call to prohibit homosexuality. Societies which "openly promote sin" lose Allah's favor, he said. "Allah will not change a condition of a people until they change what is inside of themselves." Jews provided his historical examples. "Beni Israel" – the children of Israel – "invoked a punishment upon themselves for giving this up," he said. He quoted Quran 5:78: "Cursed were those who disbelieved among the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and of Jesus, the son of Mary." "So they were specifically cursed, meaning Allah's mercy was withheld from them because they saw the injustice, they saw the anti-social behavior, they saw the lewdness, and they just were complacent," Walid said. "They were cool with it. They didn't speak out against it. They allowed it to become part of the status quo."...

City of Champaign Appoints Notorious
Anti-Semitic Islamist to Anti-Discrimination Commission
by Sam Westrop
{ meforum.org } ~ When Deb Feinen, Mayor of Champaign, Illinois, suddenly and unexpectedly decided to replace one of the members of her city's Human Relations Commission... she cited the importance of "diversity" as the reason. Out went Kenton Elmore, an unquestionably white Commission member; and in came Ahmed Taha, an Egyptian immigrant and a prominent figure in the city's Muslim community. Elmore appeared to have been a popular member of the Human Relations Commission, and his abrupt removal left other members of the Commission a little unsettled. But the mayor said she felt the city was "underrepresenting the Muslim-American community." At a cursory glance, the decision to appoint Ahmed Taha made sense. Champaign has a significant Muslim community, and Ahmed Taha is a significant figure in that community. But just a slightly closer look would have found that he is significant for one thing more than anything else: his hatred of Jews. Taha's anti-Semitism is no secret, and has been written about before – mostly because of his involvement with two prominent Islamist organizations – the Muslim American Society, for which he runs the Champaign branch; and the Islamic Circle of North America, which is a proxy for Jamaat-e-Islami, a violent South Asian extremist movement. In 2013, Taha republished a photo on his Facebook page, ostensibly of a brutally killed Egyptian teenage boy, which was accompanied by the text: "O Muslim, O servant of God. There is a Jew behind me, come kill him." In March 2014, Taha shared a conspiracy theory by a far-Right website claiming that the President of Egypt, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, was secretly Jewish. "Is that true?" Taha asked, "If yes, this is a castastroph [sic]." In October that year, he then posted a video supposedly exposing loose lips liar-Joe Biden as a "Zionist" and revealing the "Rothschild Zionism Secret Regime in America."...  https://www.meforum.org/islamist-watch/58999/city-of-champaign-appoints-anti-jewish-extremist?utm_source=Middle+East+Forum&utm_campaign=fda275a0e6-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_07_23_05_56&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_086cfd423c-fda275a0e6-33703665&goal=0_086cfd423c-fda275a0e6-33703665

Graffiti A Sign of Cultural Decay
TMC_4967%2Bcopy.jpg
Tom McLaughlin
{tommclaughlin.blogspot.com} ~ It was a bad sign and disheartening to see. While strolling along the new, upper-cliff walk at Fort Williams in Cape Elizabeth, Maine — one of my favorite places — I saw the graffiti. Park officials had cleared brush from a small level area and put in a picnic table surrounded by a semicircle of ten or twelve boulders rolled into place. Then some selfish, depraved individual came along with a can of red spray paint and defaced them.
TMC_3040.jpeg
It’s an otherwise lovely spot in a stunningly beautiful park with views of Portland Head Light, the shipping channel to Portland Harbor, islands in Casco Bay, and the open Atlantic beyond. Now, however, anyone enjoying a picnic there is forced to look at undecipherable symbols on most of the boulders and a good old, “F*** You” on one of them. If I were a judge and the apprehended vandal came before me, I would force him it’s most likely a young male to sand off every bit of that red paint by hand, however long that takes, or go to jail for the maximum sentence.

Graffiti signals a deteriorating society, the cultural equivalent of a canary in a coal mine. It should be eradicated as soon as it is detected. To leave it is to invite more. I’d liken it to the “broken window theory” first put forth by George Kelling and James Wilson in a 1982 Atlantic article: “if a window in a building is broken and is left unrepaired, all the rest of the windows will soon be broken.” It’s the same with graffiti. Leave it up and it will spread.  
 
I’ve witnessed the phenomenon over the past seven years driving up and down Portland, Maine’s Forest Avenue every week. Stuck in traffic, I’d stare at graffiti on buildings and rooftops. At first, property owners would hastily remove it either by sandblasting it off brick walls or painting over it on other surfaces. After a year or two, however, those efforts slowed down. Now it appears proprietors have given up and the contagion is getting out of control.

"Graffiti is Art, Not Vandalism" claims an article in the Temple University newspaper Temple News. The argument is ridiculous at best. Graffiti spoils someone else’s property. I’d liken it to a dog lifting his leg on a building to mark his territory. How would a genuine artist feel if he or she purchased a large canvas and a graffiti “artist” sprayed on it in the dark of night? If vandal “artists” won’t rent billboards, how about they walk around wearing a sandwich board to display their “art”? One commenter wrote: “Graffiti is filth, period. That is like saying I took an artistic dump on the sidewalk.”

In Rome four years ago I hired a guide to show us around the Eternal City. He pointed out endless fountains — repetitive, stone-carved, muscular nudes laying around displaying genitalia. We, especially my grandson and I, were more interested in historical sites like the Colosseum and the Vatican, but each day I would ask him his opinion of the graffiti we were seeing everywhere. “Oh, that’s art too,” he insisted. On the third day, we encountered old paintings under an archway defaced by someone with a spray can. Finally, he admitted, “That is sh*t!”  
_TMC5353.jpeg
Guides are licensed by Italy’s government to comment only in certain ways, but our guide got so exasperated he finally ignored those constraints. Rome was bad, but Athens, Greece is by far the worst graffiti-ridden European city I’ve seen so far. It’s a rather ugly city anyway, apart from the Acropolis and a few other sites, and graffiti is epidemic. On that trip, I was part of a larger family group and didn’t want to rain on the parade by asking our guide about it — a lovely older woman named Dora. There was much less in the rest of Greece outside Athens which was amazingly beautiful.  
_TMC1338.jpg
The graffiti I saw at Fort Williams was fresh. Park officials there are very diligent and I hope they will have either painted the stones or replaced them by the time I return next weekend. The City of Portland is attempting to alleviate their problem by advising property owners, but I’m sad to report that it seems to be losing the battle.

{ foxnews.com } ~ The Senate confirmed former Army Lt. Col. Mark Esper as Secretary of Defense Tuesday... making him the first permanent Pentagon boss since James Mattis resigned last December. Esper, who served 10 years on active duty and 11 years in the National Guard and Army Reserve, was Acting Secretary before his nomination, and Patrick Shanahan had been Acting Secretary prior to that. The vote was not close, with the Senate confirming Esper by a vote of 90-8. The no votes included 2020 Democratic presidential candidates scumbag-Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, lowlife-Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth dinky-Warren. dinky-Warren and Esper had a tense exchange during a confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee, when she challenged his refusal to completely recuse himself from any and all matters related to Raytheon, the defense contractor for which he served as a lobbyist before joining the government. Esper said that ethics personnel told him not to fully recuse himself. Earlier in the hearing, he said he was "fully committed to living up to my ethics commitments” and would employ a “robust screening process” and “remain in constant contact with our ethics personnel.” On the day of that hearing, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., lauded Esper, calling him "a man of honor and integrity, dedicated to our nation and committed to the men and women who serve in uniform."   https://www.foxnews.com/politics/senate-confirms-esper-as-new-secretary-of-defense-in-90-8-vote

Giuliani shreds scumbag-de Blasio over videos

{ foxnews.com } ~ Rudy Giuliani pointed the finger squarely at New York City Mayor scumbag-Bill de Blasio after videos surfaced Monday of people attacking NYPD officers by dousing them with water... saying this “would never happen in a million years when I was mayor of New York City.” Footage shows separate incidents of people in Harlem and Brooklyn using buckets to splash and dump water over uniformed officers, as the cops calmly walk away. scumbag-De Blasio condemned the acts as “Completely unacceptable,” and said, “We won’t tolerate this kind of disrespect.” Still, former mayor Giuliani believes the 2020 presidential candidate is part of the problem. “This is what happens with knee-jerk disrespect for police. It will only get worse until these Left wing idiots are defeated," Giuliani tweeted Tuesday morning, saying the current "disrespect for the uniform" is the "result of a Democrat-Progressive Retrogressive-Socialist Mayor." The former mayor had even stronger words Monday night on “The Ingraham Angle,” saying scumbag-de Blasio was “absolutely destroying the quality of life in this city.” Giuliani has criticized the mayor in the past over the increase in homelessness in New York City under scumbag-de Blasio’s administration. Giuliani was known for reducing the number of people living on the streets. “He’s a disgrace, and even Democrats don’t support him and are embarrassed of him,” Giuliani added, perhaps a reference to scumbag-de Blasio’s low poll numbers as he campaigns for the Democratic presidential nomination...

3 Things You Need To Know 
About ‘Surprise’ Medical Bills

By Christopher Jacobs
{ thefederalist.com } ~ In recent months, lawmakers in Washington have focused on “surprise” medical bills. In large part, this term refers to two types of incidents... 1) individuals who received pre-arranged treatment at an in-network hospital, but saw an out-of-network physician e.g., anesthesiologist during their stay, or 2) individuals who had to seek care at an out-of-network hospital during a medical emergency. In both cases, the out-of-network providers can “balance bill” patients—that is, send them an invoice for the difference between an insurer’s in-network payment and what the physician actually charged. Because these bills can become quite substantial, and because patients do not have a meaningful opportunity to consent to the higher charges—many patients never meet their anesthesiologist until the day of surgery, and few people can investigate hospital networks during an ambulance ride to the ER—policy-makers see reason to intervene. However, the knee-jerk solutions currently under consideration in Congress seem ill-suited to the scope of the problem and could lead to unintended consequences, as many government interventions in health care do. Herewith three important factors to bear in mind during this debate. 1. Few Hospitals Comprise Most of the ‘Surprise’ Incidents. As a chart from The New York Times demonstrates, most hospitals had zero, or close to zero, out-of-network emergency room bills in 2015, according to a study by three Yale University professors: Surprise” bills applied in 22 percent of ER visits, but as a Times reporter noted, they are “not happening to some random set of patients in every hospital. They’re happening to a large percentage of patients in certain hospitals.” The problem of “surprise” bills largely occurs when hospitals decide to outsource their emergency room physicians or anesthesiologists to physician staffing services. Those staffing services see no reason to contract with insurer networks. Because their patients are largely a captive audience and have little ability to decline treatment at the time of service, the staffing services can obtain higher payments by remaining out-of-network and billing patients for the difference after-the-fact. As noted above, most hospitals don’t have this problem, because they keep their ER physicians and other doctors in-network. Unfortunately, however, the one-quarter or so of hospitals that have not forced their physicians in-network have made life difficult for the rest of the hospital sector. The hospital industry should have done a much better job of policing itself and weeded out these “bad actors” years ago. Had they done so, the number of “surprise” bills likely would not have risen to a level where federal lawmakers demand action. However, the fact that these incidents still only occur in a minority of hospitals suggests reason for continued caution—because why should Congress impose a far-reaching solution to a “problem” that doesn’t affect most hospitals? 2. The Federal Government Has Little Reason to Intervene 3. Some Republicans Support Socialistic Price Controls A Spoonful of Socialism, Anyone?

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ Former German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen has been narrowly confirmed as the next President of the European Commission... the powerful administrative arm of the European Union. In a secret ballot in the European Parliament on July 16, von der Leyen, a close ally of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, received 383 votes, only nine more than the 374 required — the lowest margin since the position of President was established in 1958. She will take over from Jean-Claude Junker in November 2019 for a five-year term. Before the vote, von der Leyen promised an ambitious left-leaning policy program on climate change, taxes, migration and the rule of law. Many of her pledges — which would require transferring yet more national sovereignty to unelected bureaucrats in Brussels — appeared aimed at enticing support for her candidacy from Greens and Socialists in the European Parliament. In the final vote, however, the Socialists were  divided in their support for von der Leyen and the Greens formally opposed her. Interestingly, von der Leyen won with the support of eurosceptics in Central and Eastern Europe after she publicly criticized the way the EU has treated them due to their opposition to mass migration. In the past, von der Leyen has called for the creation of a European superstate: "My aim is the United States of Europe on the model of federal states such as Switzerland, Germany or the United States," she said in an August 2011 interview with the German newsmagazine Der Spiegel. More recently, however, she appeared to scale back her ambitions: she said  that her dream of a federalized EU had become "more mature and more realistic." In comments apparently aimed at appeasing Central and Eastern Europe, she added: "In the European Union, there is unity in diversity. That is different from federalism. I think that is the right way."...

Stupid Politically Correct Decisions 
from Our Public Schools
By John Kinsellagh
{ americanthinker.com } ~ There has been a concerted attempt over the past several years by progressive teachers and school administrators to unilaterally make decisions about eradicating vestiges of our culture, because they alone have determined that these symbols or icons of the past may be offensive to others...This disconcerting practice by progressive vanguards has become more prevalent and absurd, the latest example manifested in sicko-Colin Kaepernick's suddenly taking offense at Nike's use of a Betsy Ross colonial flag emblem on one of its shoe models. Recently, the San Francisco School Board voted to remove a mural of George Washington at one of its public schools because they divined it racist and degrading for its depiction of black Americans and American Indians. The rationale offered for the mural's removal is instructive, as it reveals not only the pernicious nature of the identity politics underpinnings of modern-day progressivism, but also the inevitable censorship practices that logically flow from a philosophy that views America as an irredeemably racist country. Here is the justification offered by vice president of the school board and third-grade teacher Mark Sanchez for ridding the school of the image of the nation's founding father, without consulting the student body, parents, or other members of the community. Sanchez claimed that students who must walk past the mural during the school day don't have a choice about seeing the harmful images. "Painting it over represents not only a symbolic fresh start, but a real fresh start," he said. A question arises: how many students told Sanchez the image of George Washington that has adorned the school for 83 years was harmful? In a progressive world, the question answers itself: there is no need to demonstrate any actual harm sustained by any students. For identity-politics progressives, all that is needed for the whimsical exercise of their notion of social justice is the mere likelihood — however remote — that the historical image could cause harm, if not in the present, then in the indeterminate future or, perhaps, for students not yet born. For Sanchez, "the starting point has to be from those who feel they are harmed and how that is unacceptable, especially given the history of this country.  When we don't listen, we don't learn." If only one student is offended by the image, for progressives, that is a sufficient reason to spend $600,000 of the taxpayers' money to remedy the injury by extirpating the historical image of George Washington.  Other instances of this type of monumental progressive silliness abound...

Border Crisis Brings More Drugs Into U.S.

Political Editors:  One of the consequences of the political fight over the border crisis has been a significant increase of illicit drugs pouring into the country. With Border Patrol agents swamped in their efforts to contain and process the massive numbers of migrants illegally crossing the U.S. southern border, the drug cartels have taken advantage.

The Washington Examiner reports, “Border Patrol highway checkpoints in the southern New Mexico region that normally seize seven figures worth of drugs annually have not seized a dollar in nearly four months after being shuttered in late March, allowing drugs to flood into the country. Meantime, with the added supply, prices for illicit drugs are dropping precipitously.”

The Examiner further reports, “Officials have also noted upticks in methamphetamine and fentanyl seizures since March. [Otero County, New Mexico, Sheriff David] Black said the cost of a pound of meth has been slashed in half since then, from $4,700 when the checkpoints first closed to $2,500 by late June. The price dropped because the market is saturated.”

Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin explained, “With our checkpoints being closed down, there’s no secondary measure of defense, and [drug traffickers] got a green light to take drugs right into the heart of America.” Police officials noted that fewer seizures generally mean that more drugs are coming in. And the impact of increasing amounts of illicit drugs in the U.S. leads to increased rates of crime, drug addiction, and homelessness.

But hey, open borders — what could go wrong?  ~The Patriot Post

{ freebeacon.com } ~ President Donald Trump on Monday categorically denied reports that Iran had captured 17 supposed CIA agents... whom the Islamic Republic accused of spying on the country. Iranian leaders claimed they had captured the CIA agents last year and had been holding them in detention. Iran says that it is poised to execute the alleged spies, who also were accused of exhibiting techniques meant to resist interrogation. Trump quickly dismissed the reports, telling reporters this is yet another attempt by Iran to disseminate propaganda aimed at distracting from the country's ongoing support of regional terror operations. The claim comes as the U.S. and Iran exchange salvos in a proxy battle in the Persian Gulf that threatens to ignite a full-blown war between the two countries. "They lie a lot," Trump said at the White House. The president pointed to the recent downing of an Iranian drone by U.S. forces, which Iran denied had even taken place. "We took down one of their drones. They say that doesn't happen. There's a lot of proof," Trump said. "It's called take a look at it on the ocean floor. Take your scuba gear and go down."  Addressing the reports of imprisoned CIA agents, Trump said, "that's a totally false story." "That's another lie. They put out propaganda. They put out lies," Trump said. "Let's see what happens with Iran. We are ready for the absolute worst and we are ready for sense, too. … They are really the number one state of terror in the world. I have to say they pulled back because their money is running really low." The CIA declined to comment on the reports when asked Monday by the Washington Free Beacon. The reports have been denied by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo...  https://freebeacon.com/national-security/trump-iran-did-not-capture-american-cia-agents/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=7dc25ac9ef-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_07_22_08_30_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-7dc25ac9ef-45611665

By Gregg Re 
{ foxnews.com } ~ The Trump administration and congressional leaders, including Democrats, have reached a critical debt and budget agreement that all but eliminates the risk of another government shut down this fall... but that has already drawn fierce blowback from fiscal conservatives worried about overspending, as well as progressives unhappy with where the money could go. The deal announced Monday evening, which requires congressional approval, would increase spending caps by $320 billion relative to the limits prescribed in the 2011 Budget Control Act, whose spending-control provisions have been repeatedly waived since 2014. It also would suspend the debt ceiling and permit more government borrowing until July 31, 2021 -- after the next presidential election. The compromise reportedly outraged Democrat Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, the ranking member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, who noted the bill would not block Trump from spending money on his proposed border wall. "I'm worried the House is willing to give him far too much discretion to take money and move it anywhere he wants including a wall," Leahy, D-Vt., told The Washington Post. "So the way it is now I will not vote for it. . . . The other 99 can vote for it, I won’t." However, in a statement, Leahy later said he would "support the bill" because it "will raise the debt limit for the next two years and stave off economic catastrophe" and reverse "unsustainable cuts in non-defense discretionary spending." Leahy added, "I understand there is a statement of principles between congressional leaders and the White House, and I have many concerns with its content." In the end, domestic programs would on average receive 4-percent increases in the first year of the pact, with much of those gains eaten up by veterans increases and an unavoidable surge for the U.S. Census. Defense would jump to $738 billion next year, a 3-percent hike...

{ foxnews.com } ~ A Justice Department official told former Special Counsel Robert Mueller that his upcoming testimony to House lawmakers "must remain within the boundaries" of the public, redacted version of his report... in a letter obtained by Fox News on Monday evening. The letter, obtained exclusively by Fox News, signed by Associate Deputy Attorney General Bradley Weinsheimer, states: “Dear Mr. Mueller: I write in response to your July 10, 2019 letter concerning the testimonial subpoenas you received from the House Judiciary Committee (HJC) and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI). “Your letter requests that the Department provide you with guidance concerning privilege or other legal bars applicable to potential testimony in connection with those subpoenas." After stating the decision to testify is Mueller's to make, the letter continues: "But the Department agrees with your stated position that your testimony should be unnecessary under the circumstances. The Department generally does not permit prosecutors such as you to appear and testify before Congress regarding their investigative and prosecutorial activity. "In addition, the Department already has taken the extraordinary steps to make almost your entire report, as well as a substantial volume of your underlying investigative material, available to the committees. "Should you testify, the Department understands that testimony regarding the work of the Special Counsel's Office will be governed by the terms you outlined on May 29 -- specifically, that the information you discuss during your testimony appears in, and does "not go beyond," the public version of your March 22, 2019 report to the Attorney General or your May 29 public statement." It continued: "Finally, any testimony must remain within the boundaries of your public report because matters within the scope of your investigation were covered by the executive privilege, including information protected by law enforcement, deliberative process, attorney work product, and presidential communications privileges...

Green Activists With Ties to China Advised scumbag/liar-nObama State Department

by Kevin Mooney 
{ freebeacon.com } ~ The Natural Resources Defense Council held close ties to the scumbag/liar-nObama administration, providing advice on joining the Paris Agreement while simultaneously maintaining ties to China... according to attorneys and policy analysts who have reviewed email records obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. While many of the emails are heavily redacted, they provide insight into how the NRDC, a nonprofit environmental advocacy group, and its close associates in Beijing, sought to maneuver the United States into an international climate change accord that has all the "hallmarks of a treaty" without the "advice and consent" of the Senate, Bonner Cohen, a senior fellow with the National Center for Public Policy Research, explained in an interview. The United Nations' Paris Agreement, which took shape in December 2015, figures prominently in emails between Jake Schmidt, the NRDC’s director of international programs, and several State Department officials including Todd Stern, who was a special envoy for climate change at the time of his correspondence with Schmidt in 2014 and 2015. Cohen calls the agreement "an instrument to redistribute wealth, through higher energy prices, from middle- and lower-income people to well-heeled renewable-energy providers and investors in developed countries, while spreading some largesse to elites in poorer countries via the U.N.'s Green Climate Fund." President scumbag/liar-nObama took executive action to have the United States become part of the international agreement in September 2016, which requires participating countries to establish their own "nationally determined contributions" toward what the U.N. describes as a "global response to the threat of climate change." The nationally determined contributions (NDCs) detail how much each country plans to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. In June 2017, President Trump announced during a White House ceremony that the United States would withdraw from the Paris Agreement. The president said the treaty was unfair to American workers and taxpayers... People who believed on this green deal have been fooled and mislead and scumbag/liar-nObama knew it.

America: Love It or Leave It (Again)

 Cal Thomas
 

The phrase “America, Love It or Leave It” has a pedigree dating back at least to the McCarthy Era. In the ‘70s, the phrase was employed again against those protesting America’s involvement in the Vietnam War. The left has its own version, vowing to leave the country if a Republican is elected president. They rarely do.

On Monday, President Trump resurrected the phrase as he again publicly slammed four freshman congresswomen for their criticism of the United States and his policies. He suggested they “go back where you came from,” though they are all American citizens.

Whatever one thinks of the president’s remarks — the predictable “racist” charge was leveled at him because the four are women of color and two are Muslim — the president is setting Democrats up for what could be a major defeat in the 2020 election by forcing them to embrace (probably) these people and their statements, thus causing further fallout within the party, or denounce them (unlikely) and risk electoral harm. It’s a lose-lose for Democrats.

AXIOS, a nonpartisan news and information company, shared the results of a small, exclusive poll taken in May of a “crucial group of swing voters.” Respondents, “1,003 likely general-election voters who are white and have two years or less of college education” put their approval of commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, worthless-Ilhan Omar, worthless-Rashida Tlaib and worthless-Ayanna Pressley in low double or single digits.

Only last week did Speaker liar-Nancy Pulosi, discussing the congresswomen’s opposition to the emergency border aid bill — a bill the leadership supported — seem to dismiss them in an interview with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, “They’re four people and that’s how many votes they got.” After the president’s comments Monday, liar-Pulosi felt obligated to defend the four congresswomen, but that may come at a cost.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) took things a step too far when he called the four “anti-America” communists on “Fox and Friends,” another throwback to the McCarthy Era, which Graham has previously denounced.

Still, this is likely to play well with people who believe too many politicians spend most of their time criticizing America instead of defending it.

The four congresswomen have been critical of the nation they were elected to serve and some have even made anti-Semitic and anti-Israel statements.

The left swims in a deep sea of hypocrisy when it uses buzzwords like “diversity” and “racism.” A recent example was in Monday’s Washington Times. The newspaper reported that congressional Democrats are opposing four “people of color” nominated to federal courts by President Trump. If a Democratic president had nominated these people and Republicans opposed them, is there any doubt the “racist” slur would be hurled at them?

Still, Sen. Graham was right when he also said it would be helpful if the president would “aim higher” and speak of their policies, rather than engaging in personal attacks. But their hatred for Israel and anti-America statements ARE their policies. Graham is correct in this sense: President Trump has the issues on his side. He is winning on things most people care about, especially the economy. Yes, he frequently touts successes, but they are often overshadowed by his personal attacks.

Winning an argument is better than winning a fight. Winning the argument proves your policies are correct. Winning a fight proves nothing, except who is able to beat up another person. It does not advance an agenda.

There is no excuse for calling detention centers “concentration camps” and likening the Border Patrol to Nazi prison guards, especially since the four freshmen and other Democrats have the power to fix the migrant crisis, but won’t because it appears they prefer having the issue to batter Republicans.

If this keeps up, House Democrats who defend such outrageous statements are likely to find themselves in the minority again. Many Americans are fed-up with hearing this stuff and are likely to take revenge at the polls.  ~The Patriot Post

Media Editors:  News From the Swamp


POLITICS AND MONEY: “The Trump administration and congressional leaders, including Democrats, have reached a critical debt and budget agreement that all but eliminates the risk of another government shut down this fall — but that has already drawn fierce blowback from fiscal conservatives worried about overspending, as well as progressives unhappy with where the money could go,” Fox News reports. Assuming Congress passes the budget agreement, spending caps will climb by $320 billion and the debt ceiling will be shelved through July 31, 2021. From Sen. Rand Paul’s point of view, “It scraps the sequester, which is a huge mistake. It would be a huge mistake if the Republican leadership agrees to this.”

MASSIVE DEREGULATION: Conversely, there’s an interesting juxtaposition between the budget agreement and the Trump administration’s deregulation enterprise. According to the Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard, “When Donald Trump in 2016 pledged to kill two scumbag/liar-nObama-era regulations for every new one, crowds went wild. … And now as he opens his reelection campaign, Russ Vought, acting budget office director, has delivered the results sure to win even more rally cheers. ‘We’ve hit 13 to 1,’ he told a Heritage Foundation conference on federalism. And cutting so many regulations, he added, has saved taxpayers $33 billion.” John Hinderaker observes, “Lower taxes are good, definitely, but over-regulation is just as important a problem. … Cutting regulations is one area where the Trump administration has succeeded beyond any reasonable expectation.”

scumbag-COMEY’S COVERT OPERATION: “According to RealClearInvestigations, a soon-to-be-filed report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz alleges that former FBI Director scumbag-James Comey ‘was secretly trying to build a conspiracy case against the president, while at times acting as an investigative agent.’ … [Paul] Sperry cites two U.S. officials briefed on the IG’s investigation into possible FBI misconduct who say the former director was effectively ‘running a covert operation against’ Trump, which started with a ‘defenseive briefing’ he privately gave Trump a few weeks before his inauguration.” (The Daily Wire)

FOOD-STAMP REFORM: “The Trump administration on Tuesday proposed a rule to tighten food stamp eligibility that would cut about 3.1 million people from the program, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) officials said.” (Reuters)

On the Immigration Front


THE GOOD… “Homeland Security announced an aggressive new policy Monday to fast-track deportations of recent immigrants caught in the living in the U.S. illegally, looking to expand a tool that’s been used successfully at the border for years. Expedited removal allows immigration officers to order a deportation without the extensive immigration court proceedings and appeals that accompany other removals.” (The Washington Times)

THE BAD… “The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday ruled against the Trump administration’s policy allowing for the indefinite detention of certain asylum-seekers, saying a lower court ruling temporarily blocking it can remain in place.” (The Hill)

AND THE UGLY: “As of April 16, 2019, nine states including California, Illinois, and New Jersey claim to be Sanctuary States, while numerous counties and cities in other states also say they will protect illegal immigrants by refusing to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. On Monday, Montgomery County, Maryland’s largest county, officially joins the list. County Executive Marc Elrich will sign an executive order … that will keep the area from cooperating with ICE, even though the policy has been unofficially on the books for some time.” (The Daily Wire)

Polling


TRUMP APPROVAL IMPROVES: “Trump’s approval rating hit 44 percent in the new NPR/NewsHour/Marist poll, the highest level at which it’s been recorded in any mainstream opinion poll with the exception of a July 7 Washington Post poll that recorded 47 percent approval.” (National Review)

OPEN-BORDERS BUZZKILL: Even most Democrats don’t support decriminalizing border crossings, poll finds (The Week)

Other Notables


JOHNSON WINS: “Britain’s next Prime Minister will be Boris Johnson after he won a ballot vote of Conservative Party members against Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, it was announced Tuesday. … He will replace outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May Wednesday after she announced her resignation last month amid failure to lead the nation out of the European Union.” (Fox News)

There’s A Full-Fledged Fight Over The 
Wall Going On In The Supreme Court

{ dailycaller.com } ~ Environmental groups and House Democrats urged the Supreme Court not to disturb a lower court order blocking the reallocation of military funds for border wall projects...  The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to put that ruling on hold while litigation continues July 12. Granting that request — called a stay — would give the government an irreversible victory, a coalition of environmentalists led by the Sierra Club warned. “If a stay is granted and wall construction begins, there will be no turning back,” the green groups told the justices in court papers. U.S. District Judge Haywood Gilliam barred the administration from using $2.5 billion in military funds for border wall construction. The trial court’s injunctions stalled border barrier construction projects in Arizona and New Mexico. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied the administration’s request to stay Gilliam’s ruling while litigation continued by a 2-1 vote July 3. The government filed a stay application with the Supreme Court on July 12. Stays are supposed to preserve the status quo among litigants while a lawsuit proceeds through court. If the justices grant the administration’s request, the government can begin construction on several border wall projects the courts may never be able to undo. That is exactly the sort of outcome stays mean to prevent, the Sierra Club said. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) represents the Sierra Club before the high court. “By essentially handing defendants an irrevocable victory, a stay would accomplish the opposite of a stay’s proper purpose: providing interim relief to allow for considered review,” the green groups wrote...

{ dailysignal.com } ~ Last month, both Maine and Nevada did what was in the best interests of their states... They rejected bills that would have enrolled their states in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, an unwise effort to override the Electoral College.  In Maine, it was killed by legislators in the state House after it passed Maine’s Senate. In Nevada, Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak vetoed the bill that had been passed by members of his own party in the Legislature. The National Popular Vote compact, which is an agreement between states, requires a participating state to award all of its electoral votes to the presidential candidate who receives the most votes across the nation, not to the candidate who actually won the vote in that state. In other words, states are agreeing to ignore what the majority of voters in their state decides when it comes to who they believe should be president. This interstate compact has been sold to state governments as a means to abolish what supporters wrongly claim is the “outmoded, undemocratic Electoral College.”  What is “undemocratic” is an agreement that means that even if every single voter in a state voted against a presidential candidate who won the national popular vote, the state would still have to give all its electoral votes to that candidate...

The Hamas-Iran Plan to Eliminate Israel

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ Has Hamas, the Palestinian terror group that rules the Gaza Strip, finally accepted the two-state solution and abandoned its objective to destroy Israel?.. The headlines in some Arab media outlets on July 20 created the impression that Hamas has changed its policy and is no longer seeking the annihilation of Israel. More remarkably, the headlines made it seem as if Hamas were presenting a new plan for peace with Israel. Quoting statements by Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, several Arab media organizations ran headlines implying that the terror group now favors the two-state solution. "Hamas does not oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders," the headlines shouted. Haniyeh reportedly made his statements during a video conference interview with Turkish journalists in Istanbul. The interview was organized by a group called the Palestinian Forum for Communication and Media, which describes itself as an "independent media organization aiming to enhance coordination between Arab and international media organizations to support the Palestinian cause." Although the initial impression created by Haniyeh's statements suggest a dramatic shift in Hamas's policy – from seeking the destruction of Israel to accepting the two-state solution – it quickly becomes clear from reading the rest of his remarks that there is no change in the terror group's strategy or ideology. Haniyeh carefully clarified that accepting a Palestinian state on the pre-1967 "borders" does not mean that Hamas would recognize Israel's right to exist. "Hamas is not opposed to the establishment of a state on the 1967 borders, but insists on not recognizing the Israeli occupation of the rest of the Palestinian territories," the Hamas leader is quoted as telling the Turkish journalists. Haniyeh, to his credit, was more honest that the editors who chose the misleading headlines suggesting that Hamas has accepted the two-state solution...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/14575/hamas-iran-eliminate-israel

{ dailysignal.com } ~ Young people across America are increasingly embracing socialism. A cloud of misinformation has led many Americans to think socialism is something it is not—a good system of government... The Daily Signal recently interviewed Chris Wright, founder and president of the Anticommunism Action Team, to debunk the myths about socialism. The full audio is below along with a lightly edited transcript. Rob Bluey: Chris, you joined us a few weeks ago, along with Jennifer Zeng and Darian Diachok, and we discussed their personal stories about growing up under communist and socialist regimes and their own experiences. It was truly captivating to hear their personal stories. But we wanted to have you back to talk more about the work that you’re doing, specifically the Anticommunism Action Team. Can you tell us about the organization, why you founded it and what it is you do? Chris Wright: In 2013, my Alexandria Tea Party had a big program and we had survivors of communism from various countries, along with Dr. Lee Edwards from The Heritage Foundation. We had a couple hundred people in attendance and from there, I went on to found the Anticommunism Action Team in 2014 to formalize the activity. In 2016, we added the speakers bureau, which Jennifer and Darian are part of. We have other speakers from Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, other countries, Vietnam. And this year I’ve added a conference call. I’ve gathered together the best fighters against socialism in the country I could find, so I now have subject matter experts who are joining me in some of our presentations...  https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/07/22/socialism-101-myths-and-realities/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=socialism-101-myths-and-realities&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTnpVNFpHWXhabVUwTURrMyIsInQiOiJVMDZjdlRIbDZqSW1XNmI4RXF0N2ljQzdWQTNacmJNSzFic29WK3JTM3BySHdxMWZHNk41THZRVzR3YnJWQjVHWUZHWHpMQVl6OGpFc2JVc2tSdXg0TjIzTVRWV0RueDVaNmh6MUxEWld1TnA0OW1yeXYzTlhhXC9wOUFJbEFvbHgifQ%3D%3D

Mueller investigation witness George Nader 
indicted on sex trafficking charges
By JESSICA CAMPISI
{ thehill.com } ~ George Nader, a key witness in former special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation with links to associates of President Trump... has been indicted on sex trafficking charges, according to multiple reports. The three-count indictment, unsealed on Friday in the Eastern District of Virginia, accuses the Lebanese American businessman of transporting a 14-year-old boy from Europe for sexual activity, The Washington Post reports. Nader, 60, has pleaded not guilty and is set to stand trial Sept. 30, the Post reported. Prosecutors allege that Nader brought the boy to the U.S. through Dulles International Airport and to his Washington home for sexual activity, the Post reported. He was denied bail by U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema, who cited “the nature of the charges and his extensive overseas connections,” according to the newspaper. In initial charges filed earlier this year, authorities accused Nader of possessing child pornography when he arrived at John F. Kennedy Airport from Dubai in January 2018. The Justice Department said at the time that Nader pleaded guilty in 1991 to the same charge of transporting explicit images of minors...

Defund Lutherans for Open Borders Now!

Michelle Malkin
 

If you were shocked by the images of the Mexican flag flying over an Aurora, Colorado, immigration detention center this weekend, you’ll be appalled at an even more disgusting spectacle:

One of the top promoters of the so-called Lights for Liberty nationwide protests by Trump-hating, ICE-bashing radicals was a nonprofit religious organization known as the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service. As a designated “host,” LIRS played a key role in publicizing, organizing and participating in demonstrations against President Donald Trump’s deportation enforcement actions targeting some 2,000 illegal immigrants and their families who have ignored removal orders or skipped out on court hearings.

Brazen hatred of cops, Border Patrol and ICE agents were on full display at the open borders protests fronted by LIRS and other left-wing groups, including Code Pink, CASA and CAIR. Marchers echoed the “Close the Concentration Camps” rhetoric of Congressional Brat Pack Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). They carried signs declaring “ICE=Gestapo” and “Free the People, Burn the Camps.” It’s not just idle rhetoric. Antifa thug Willem Van Spronsen, armed with a rifle and incendiary devices, attempted to set a Tacoma ICE facility on fire on Saturday before being shot dead. He has been hailed as a “hero” and a “martyr” by fellow “progressive” travelers, while sympathetic mainstream reporters and activists look the other way.

The president and CEO of LIRS, Krishanti Vignarajah, is a Sri Lankan refugee and former Michelle scumbag/liar-nObama policy director who led the Lights for Liberty event in Washington, D.C. She argues that Americans are obligated to open the floodgates at the southern border (since she turned out so great) and vehemently opposes what she calls “militant border enforcement.” To these border-sabotaging radicals, of course, any border enforcement is “militant.”

LIRS sounds like just the kind of extremist group you’d expect to be kept afloat by billionaire scumbag-George Soros’ big bucks. But hold on to your wallets and your American flags, folks: In 2016, LIRS relied on $64.7 million in government subsidies from taxpayers — that’s you and me — to fund a whopping 96.2% of its budget.

LIRS is one of nine agencies that receives tens of millions of dollars to resettle refugees from around the world. The organization brags that it is “a vital arm of the United States refugee admissions program” that has worked with the State Department to import “over 500,000 refugees” to our country. One of LIRS’ most famous clients? Somalian-born Minnesota Democratic Rep. worthless-Ilhan Omar, whose immigration, marriage and tax fraud problems I reported on in my column last month.

If only a fraction of LIRS clients share worthless-Omar’s contempt for our security and self-governance, you can see the trouble we’re in. And that’s just the caseload of one of the nine resettlement giants that together rake in an estimated $1 billion a year.

In addition, the Lutheran nonprofit is one of two specially designated groups (the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is the other) that is contracted by the government to provide social services and benefits (including “psycho-educational support” and “low-cost or pro bono immigration legal assistance”) to sponsor families hosting illegal immigrant children.

Disguised as compassion and Christian morality, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service’s activism is a profit-seeking machine — even as the agency has been plagued by allegations of mismanagement that prompted an external probe two years ago. Last week, the group unveiled yet another initiative: “United Sanctuaries of America.” You should know, especially if you are a citizen of faith who believes in the sovereignty of our country, that the following organizations are partnering with LIRS, possibly to erase our borders:

–New Sanctuary Coalition

–Hispanic Heritage Foundation

–League of United Latin American Citizens

–Washington Office on Latin America

–Mary’s Center and Hispanic Federation

–Gethsemane Lutheran Church

–Good Shepherd Lutheran

–Church of the Reformation

–Christ Lutheran

–Christ the Servant Lutheran

–Our Savior Lutheran

Bottom line: Open borders equals cash flow: more aliens, more grants, bigger paychecks.

Exit question: Will a single American elected official please stand up and challenge the continued public funding of this subversive religious racket bent on hoisting foreign flags and alien interests above our own?

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ The top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee said today that special counsel Robert Mueller’s congressional testimony this Wednesday will be the GOP’s first, and perhaps final... opportunity to question Mueller about the way he conducted his nearly two-year probe, the conclusions he reached or didn’t reach on collusion and obstruction, and the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation. Republican Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia spoke with Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures about the strategy that Republicans have for questioning Mueller, which includes framing the Wednesday hearing as the end of the Trump-Russia saga, saying he hoped that Mueller’s testimony would be “the final episode of the Mueller report and a final episode to, hopefully, put this behind so that the president … can actually get to governing.” The ranking GOP Judiciary member also said this was their first opening to actually grill Mueller on specifics about his investigation. “The Mueller report is a one-sided report that has not been questioned from the other side,” Collins said. “This is our chance to do that.” Mueller will testify in front of two committees back-to-back on Wednesday, beginning with House Judiciary and concluding with House Intelligence. Collins said the Judiciary Committee hearing would begin with an opening statement from Chairman scumbag liar-Jerrold Nadler of New York, followed by an opening statement from Collins himself. After this, there will be an opportunity for Mueller to make an opening statement, and then an opportunity for scumbag liar-Nadler, Collins, and other members to begin asking questions...  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/this-is-our-chance-to-question-muellers-one-sided-report-says-top-gop-lawmaker?utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_07/21/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News&rid=5261

{ news.usni.org } ~ U.S. Southern Command announced that a Venezuelan fighter harassed a U.S. Navy surveillance plane in the Caribbean Sea on Friday over international waters... In a pair of tweets, SOUTHCOM wrote that a “Venezuela SU-30 Flanker ‘aggressively shadowed’ a U.S. EP-3E aircraft at an unsafe distance July 19, jeopardizing the crew & aircraft.” Noting the ongoing relationship between Nicolás Maduro’s government in Caracas and Russia – in contrast to the U.S.-backed Juan Guaidó regime that claimed power in January after an election that Maduro says he won but Guaidó called illegitimate – SOUTHCOM added that “This action demonstrates #Russia’s irresponsible military support to Maduro’s illegitimate regime & underscores Maduro’s recklessness & irresponsible behavior, which undermines int’l rule of law & efforts to counter illicit trafficking.”The Russian-made Flanker took off from an airfield 200 miles east of Caracas, according to caption information on photos SOUTHCOM released. “The U.S. routinely conducts multi-nationally recognized and approved detection and monitoring missions in the region to ensure the safety and security of our citizens and those of our partners,” the caption continues. The U.S. has a range of forces in the SOUTHCOM area of operations, including USNS Comfort (T-AH-20), which is heading to Costa Rica now after operating off Peru earlier this month to treat patients and maneuver at sea with Peruvian warships. Marines with the Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force (SP-MAGTF) SOUTHCOM are operating in Honduras on training and engineering projects.

{ bizpacreview.com } ~ Iran’s Intelligence Ministry announced on Monday that they have arrested 17 Iranian nationals, charging them with being part of a CIA spy ring... A separate Fars news agency report quoted an Iranian intelligence official saying that some of them were sentenced to death. An official identified as the director of the counterespionage department in the Intelligence Ministry stated in a Tehran press conference that the arrests took place over the last several months. “The identified spies were employed in sensitive and vital private sector centers in the economic, nuclear, infrastructural, military and cyber areas … where they collected classified information,” according to a ministry statement as read on Iran state television. According to PressTV, the official in the press conference indicated the suspects were largely recruited via the internet by the CIA. Other methods included “issuing or renewing US visas, hiring Iranian specialists, and providing necessary equipment and access to certain participants in scientific events abroad.” Last month, Iran’s Intelligence Ministry announced it had “penetrated the US safe system in cyberspace,” purporting to have been a system the American spy agency used to communicate with the spies. The discovery of the communication system was first announced in June by Ali Shamkhani, secretary of the country’s Supreme National Security Council. He said that the “cyber-espionage” network had been operating in countries other than Iran and that it had been discovered “a while ago.”...

It doesn’t make Mexico pay for the wall exactly...  just one particular Mexican who has done great injury to the people of the United States and who is responsible for a major part of drugs flooding into the U.S. Upon news that Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera, more commonly known as El Chapo, was sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday and ordered to fork over billions, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz resurrected his idea of using any and all assets to be seized from El Chapo’s massive stash be used to build Trump’s border wall. As the Daily Mail reported: Cruz, a senator from Texas, told TMZ in a short interview on Capitol Hill that the $12.6 billion seized from El Chapo after he was convicted for drug trafficking should be used build President Donald Trump's border wall. 'I think it's great that he's sentenced,' Cruz said. 'I think the next step is to criminally forfeit his entire global criminal enterprise. It's worth billions. And we should use every penny of that money to build the wall and secure the border.' …'Finding those assets, getting those assets, won't be easy. But we should and the Department of Justice will do it's very best to do that,' he continued…Cruz says there should be no question or debate over where the funds go when they are eventually obtained -- and in 2017 even introduced the EL CHAPO Act, which didn't go very far. He reintroduced in January the legislation that would allocate El Chapo's money for the border wall. 'He made that money trafficking narcotics illegally into this country,' Cruz said, 'it's only fitting that that money goes to secure the border and stop other traffickers like he was.'...

Here’s Where Ilhan Omar And Rashida Tlaib 
Should Go When They Visit Israel

{ thefederalist.com } ~ It’s been all over the news that “Squad” stalwarts worthless-Ilhan Omar and worthless-Rashida Tliab are planning a trip to Israel... Whether this will be at U.S. taxpayers’ expense is unclear. The two women have shown their affinity for anti-Semitism, so it’s a virtual certainty their visit will be a staged opportunity to accuse Israel of being Nazi Germany and apartheid South Africa rolled into one, or possibly something even more monstrous if they can figure out what that is. Doubtless, an international press crew will traipse after them to record their every calumny. Israel—a country where there is press freedom unlike, say, Somalia—has already made clear they will admit this pair. But that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t supervise their itinerary to make it more, shall we say, educational. Since I’ve visited Israel several times, mostly for longer stays than the usual brief congressional junket, allow me to make some suggestions for their itinerary. Israel has been in a war zone since its founding, most recently near its Syrian border where a non-stop civil war has been going on for years. An estimated half-million are dead and even more innocent civilians wounded by Syrian leader Bashar Assad’s forces, plus various Islamic terror groups, Russians, Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Hezbollah, etc. So a visit to the Zvi Medical Center in Safed in northern Israel would be in order. There they could learn just which country is caring for the wounded of the Syrian civil war. Thousands of Syrians, many of them injured children, have been treated by Israeli doctors and then returned to Syria in secret so the despotic Syrian government and jihadists do not punish them for seeking treatment from the “enemy.” Israelis, of course, risk their own lives bringing in the wounded Syrians in the first place. They also treat Syrians—mostly women—with emotional trauma from war. Since the congresswomen are up by the border, it’s only a short drive to one of the high points overlooking Lebanon. It’s an astonishing sight. You look one way—toward Israel—and see nothing but blooming farms. You turn toward Lebanon and see nothing but barren hills with a sprinkling of Hezbollah flags and gun emplacements. Why the disparity, since the land is basically the same? The congresswomen would probably explain it as due to Israel’s supposed oppression of the Palestinian refugees who live by the border or something like that...

Democrats Say No One Is Above the Law — Except Illegal Immigrants

Marc A. Thiessen
 

We have heard a lot about the importance of the rule of law from Democrats lately. During special counsel Robert Muller’s investigation of President Trump, Democrats in Congress delivered a clear and unified message.

“No one is above the law, especially the president of the United States,” declared House Speaker liar-Nancy Pulosi, D-Calif. “Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in our lifetime. … No one is above the law. Not even the president,” said Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren, D-Mass. “Everyone should be held accountable. And the president is not above the law,” said Sen. lowlife-Kamala Harris, D-Calif. Republicans “are basically saying that in America one man is above the law and that’s not a fact,” said Senate Minority Whip scumbag-Richard Durbin, D-Ill. “No one is above the law [and] everybody ought to be held accountable,” said South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.

No one, that is, except illegal immigrants.

Fast-forward to this past weekend, when the Trump administration announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers would soon begin enforcement actions to remove illegal immigrants who have been issued final deportation orders by a federal judge. Those same Democrats and the rest of their party delivered a clear and unified message.

“It’s so appalling, it’s outside the circle of civilized human behavior,” said liar-Pulosi. “The Trump administration’s cruelty runs bone-deep. A dinky-Warren administration will not rip families apart to try and score political points,” said dinky-Warren. “The aim is to scare immigrant communities. … And so, he’s going to … do these raids which is a crime against humanity,” said lowlife-Harris. “We are on your side, we stand with you together,” scumbag-Durbin told activists protesting ICE enforcement. “It’s really designed to strike fear into people at a moment when fear is something we’ve got way too much of in this country,” said Buttigieg.

So, Democrats were for rule of law when it comes to the Mueller probe, which did not find that the president broke the law. But they are against rule of law when it comes to illegal immigrants who have been found by a federal judge to be in violation of U.S. immigration law.

Illegal immigrants subject to ICE enforcement have been given their constitutional right to due process, with the right to a hearing in a federal immigration court and the right to be represented by counsel. If they show up at their hearing and are not granted relief by an immigration judge, they have the right to appeal. If they lose that appeal, they are issued a final order of removal. Once such an order is issued, they must either voluntarily depart the country or turn themselves in to an ICE facility for deportation. If they fail to depart or turn themselves in, then their case is referred to the ICE fugitive unit, which is tasked with finding them.

It is a long process to get to the point where ICE is knocking on someone’s door to enforce a final order of removal. Those now subject to a final deportation order either failed to show up to immigration court; showed up and lost their case; waived their right to appeal; lost their appeal; did not show up for their appeal hearing; were granted voluntary departure but did not leave; or failed to turn themselves in to ICE for court-ordered removal. In each case, a federal judge has ruled that they do not have the right to be in the United States and must leave. But Democratic leaders are now saying they should be allowed to stay, in contravention of our immigration laws.

Then again, Democrats didn’t think this way when they held the White House. President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama deported far more illegal immigrants than Trump. Axios reports that “under the scumbag/liar-nObama administration, total ICE deportations were above 385,000 each year in fiscal years 2009-2011, and hit a high of 409,849 in fiscal 2012.” I don’t recall Democrats in Congress accusing scumbag/liar-nObama of a “crime against humanity” or actions “outside the circle of civilized human behavior.”

Back then, Democrats agreed, as Sen. Charles scumbag-Schumer, D-N.Y., put it in a 2009 speech, that “illegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple.” Since Trump took office, Democrats have become the party of illegal immigration. The want to decriminalize illegal border crossings, cut ICE detention beds to force the agency to release illegal immigrants and then refuse to enforce lawful deportation orders. So, it’s a little hard to take Democrats seriously when, in investigating Trump, they claim to be fighting for the principle that no one is above the law.  ~The Patriot Post

{ realclearinvestigations.com } ~ It is one of the most enduring and consequential mysteries of the Trump-Russia investigation: Why did former FBI Director scumbag-James Comey refuse to say publicly what he was telling President Trump in private... that Trump was not the target of an ongoing probe. That refusal ignited a chain of events that has consumed Washington for more than two years – including scumbag-Comey’s firing by Trump, the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and ongoing claims that Trump obstructed justice. Now an answer is emerging. Sources tell RealClearInvestigations that Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz will soon file a report with evidence indicating that scumbag-Comey was misleading the president. Even as he repeatedly assured Trump that he was not a target, the former director was secretly trying to build a conspiracy case against the president, while at times acting as an investigative agent. Two U.S. officials briefed on the inspector general’s investigation of possible FBI misconduct said scumbag-Comey was essentially “running a covert operation against” the president, starting with a private “defensive briefing” he gave Trump just weeks before his inauguration. They said Horowitz has examined high-level FBI text messages and other communications indicating scumbag-Comey was actually conducting a “counterintelligence assessment” of Trump during that January 2017 meeting in New York. In addition to adding notes of his meetings and phone calls with Trump to the official FBI case file, scumbag-Comey had an agent inside the White House who reported back to FBI headquarters about Trump and his aides, according to other officials familiar with the matter. Although scumbag-Comey took many actions on his own, he was not working in isolation. One focus of Horowitz’s inquiry is the private Jan. 6, 2017, briefing scumbag-Comey gave the president-elect in New York about material in the Democratic-commissioned dossier compiled by ex-British intelligence officer Christopher Steele. Reports of that meeting were used days later by BuzzFeed, CNN and other outlets as a news hook for reporting on the dossier’s lascivious and unsubstantiated claims. scumbag-Comey’s meeting with Trump took place one day after the FBI director met in the Oval Office with President scumbag/liar-nObama and Vice President loose lips liar-Joe Biden to discuss how to brief Trump — a meeting attended by National Security Adviser liar-Susan Rice, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Deputy Attorney General liar-Sally Yates and National Intelligence Director scumbag-James Clapper, who would soon go to work for CNN...

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ House Intelligence Committee Chairman scumbag-Adam Schiff said Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz got roped into a politically-motivated scheme to protect President Trump... laying the groundwork to discredit the government watchdog's work as he nears completion of a report on alleged surveillance abuses by the DOJ and FBI. At the Aspen Security Forum this weekend, scumbag-Schiff accused top Justice Department officials of pandering to Trump by instigating a "fast track" report last year about former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. His comments came as part of a broader answer to a question about whether he has concerns about Attorney General William Barr's review of the origins of the Russia investigation. scumbag-Schiff claimed the president wanted McCabe, who briefly took over as acting FBI director after Trump fired scumbag-James Comey in May 2017, investigated and his pension taken away and suggested someone such as former Attorney General Rod Rosenstein obliged the president by making a referral. "The inspector general found that McCabe was untruthful. He may very well have been untruthful," the California Democrat said, but noted that is not where main his concern lies. "I have no reason to question the inspector general's conclusion, but that investigation was put on a fast track. It was separated from a broader inspector general investigation, which is still ongoing," he said. "Why was that done? It was done so he could be fired to not get a pension. It was done to please the president when the initiation investigation is tainted. So are the results of that investigation." McCabe was fired from the FBI on March 16, 2018, less than two days before he planned to retire on his 50th birthday and collect a full pension, after the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General determined he misled investigators about the role he had in leaking information to the Wall Street Journal in October 2016 about the investigation into the scumbag/liar-Clinton Foundation... scumbag-Schiff is a complete, you know what and a complete liar.

by bizpacreview.com ~ Alex Morse, the mayor of Holyoke, Massachusetts, announced plans to challenge House Ways & Means Chairman Richard Neal in 2020 Monday... Morse, 30, is being encouraged to run by progressive Democrats who are frustrated by Neal’s delay in obtaining Trump’s state tax returns under the law passed by Democratic New York Gov. scumbag-Andrew Cuomo, NBC News reported. “There’s an urgency to this moment in Massachusetts’ 1st District and our country, and that urgency is not matched by our current representative in Congress,” Morse said in a video to announce his challenge. Democrats have been frustrated with Neal, a Massachusetts representative, because he has not pushed for Trump‘s New York state tax returns despite the law. Liberal magazine The American Prospect wrote Neal’s committee “has shown none of the zeal for oversight exhibited by its counterparts.” “We respect his focus on moving rapidly on health care, tax policy, and pensions but at the same time many of us have tried to express the sense of urgency which we and our constituents feel about enforcing the law and obtaining Trump’s tax returns,” an aide to a Democratic member of the Ways & Means told NBC. scumbag-Cuomo signed a bill into law July 8 giving access to Trump’s New York state tax returns to “congressional tax-related committees” if they can cite a “legitimate task” of Congress in seeking them, according to NBC. scumbag liar-Neal said he did not request Trump’s state returns under the law because he doesn’t want to hamper efforts to get Trump’s federal filings, which he is suing the Treasury and IRS to obtain, a process scumbag liar-Neal didn’t begin for several months after the new Congress was sworn in. scumbag liar-Neal has also said requesting Trump’s state returns only served to legitimize complaints that Congress sought them for political purposes only, he told Bloomberg News...

{ frontpagemag.com } ~ It has been my contention, for many years, that contrary to the lies spewed in the mainstream media that the immigration system is broken while, in reality, the immigration system is not broken... but has become the most efficient delivery system in the United States rivaling Fed-Ex and UPS combined. What the immigration system delivers is a virtually unlimited supply of cheap and exploitable labor, an unlimited supply of foreign tourists, of foreign students and, for the immigration lawyers, an unlimited supply of clients for immigration law firms. This past month, most of the coverage about the Congress focused on the war of words between President Trump and the Democrats, particularly the venomous and frequently Anti-Semitic statements spewed by “The Squad” that consists of four first-term female members of Congress, commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, worthless-Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, worthless-Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and worthless-Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. A virtual mantra has been created that the reason we have an immigration crisis is because the Democrats will not work with the Republicans or visa versa. You would think that if there was any movement to create immigration legislation that the media would jump all over it and put the story on page one in the newspapers and the “A Block” on television programs. After all, the mythology goes, the Democrats and Republicans have steadfastly taken diametrically opposed positions on immigration. Of course while the Republicans insist that a wall needs to be constructed on the U.S./Mexican border to secure that dangerous and highly porous border against the un-inspected entry of aliens and cargo including such contraband as narcotics, it is worth noting that when they controlled both houses of Congress for the first two years of the Trump administration, money was never provided for the construction of that wall. As my mom taught me when I was growing up, “Actions speak louder than words.”...

It was 2016 when she had to be restrained and forcibly removed from a Trump campaign event. The Washington Examiner reported the event was Aug. 8, 2016, when Trump was visiting Detroit. As she was being forced out of the event, she shrieked, “You guys are crazy!” The Examiner reported, “Footage showed two security officials holding worthless-Tlaib by her arms and guiding her toward the exit while she screamed at the crowd gathered for Trump’s speech. worthless-Tlaib was reportedly among at least 14 protesters removed from the event that evening.” The video shows the crowd’s response to worthless-Tlaib’s attack on them was a yell, “You’re an animal.”...

commie-Sanders Says 'Medicare for All' 
Would Top $40T

Thomas Gallatin:  Go big or go home — that seems to be the adage on which socialist presidential candidate commie-Bernie Sanders has decided to stake his campaign. On Wednesday, commie-Sanders unveiled his latest version of “Medicare for All,” his scheme for single-payer health care. He estimated it could cost up to $40 trillion over 10 years, which blows past the $32 trillion estimate outsiders calculated after commie-Sanders first began peddling his plan. Previously, commie-Sanders admitted that he would raise taxes across the board to pay for this government power grab, but now that he’s upped the price he’s downplaying that broad tax increase and focusing on the rich paying more.
 

This massive sum of $40 trillion only exposes Sanders’s apparent ignorance of basic economics. As Hot Air’s Jazz Shaw observes, “Forty trillion over ten years is an average of four trillion per year. Does anyone recall what the entire budget of the United States federal government was for 2018? It was 4.094 trillion dollars. So commie-Sanders is casually talking about expending the equivalent of our entire budget on his health care plan. (While simultaneously outlawing private health insurance and wiping out an entire industry.)” Well, he is a socialist.

Nevertheless, commie-Sanders insists that his plan is not “absurd,” asserting, “What the most serious economists tell us [is] that if we do nothing to fundamentally change the health care system, which is what loose lips liar-Joe [Biden] was talking about, keeping it as it is, we’ll be spending something like $50 trillion over a 10-year period.” loose lips liar-Biden has released a planre commending an expansion of scumbag/liar-nObamaCare, which he claims would cost an additional $750 billion over 10 years.

The fact of the matter is, this is exactly what conservatives warned against when liar-Nancy Pulosi and company were forcing scumbag/liar-nObamaCare onto the backs of the American people. We warned that ObamaCare was merely setting up an excuse to push for a single-payer, government takeover of America’s health system. And here we are, facing that very prospect.  ~The Patriot Post

{ washingtontimes.com } ~ President Trump is continuing to plan to replace his senior intelligence adviser, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats... and has considered at least one candidate, according to people close to the White House.  Fred Fleitz, an intelligence veteran who until recently was chief of staff to National Security Adviser John R. Bolton, is being considered for the DNI post by Mr. Trump. Mr. Fleitz is a no-nonsense advocate of intelligence reform with a wealth of experience, having worked as an analyst for the CIA, professional staff member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and as a senior State Department nonproliferation specialist during the George W. Bush administration. Recent reports that Mr. Fleitz, a conservative advocate of U.S. intelligence reform, is in the running for DNI sent shock waves through the intelligence bureaucracy. As outlined in a recent journal essay by former CIA officer John Gentry, U.S. intelligence agencies have been politicized to the liberal left in recent years, especially during the scumbag/liar-nObama administration. Under President scumbag/liar-nObama, a group of liberal intelligence leaders left their mark on the agencies that make up the U.S. intelligence community, including outspoken anti-Trump partisans such as former DNI scumbag-James Clapper, former CIA Director scumbag/commie-John Brennan who admitted he once voted for the pro-Moscow Communist Party USA presidential candidate, and FBI Director scumbag-James B. Comey, who was fired by Mr. Trump for mishandling bureau investigations.  Mr. Trump is still upset with Mr. Coats over his Senate testimony in February when, under questioning from Democrats on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, he appeared to undercut sensitive negotiations with North Korea on its nuclear program at the time. Mr. Coats testified that U.S. intelligence agencies assessed North Korea will not give up its nuclear weapons through talks with the United States...   https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jul/17/inside-the-ring-trump-quietly-working-to-replace-d/

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ HUD Secretary Dr. Ben Carson appears on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the ridiculous accusations of racism against President Trump... In one of the reference points, Dr Carson reminds everyone about the February 2016 ABC debate when all the other candidates left him hanging, but not Donald Trump. Funnily enough CTH wrote about that specific moment at the time; and it’s interesting how that moment stayed with Dr. Carson and he references it well over three years later. FLASHBACK February 6th, 2016 – Few people will talk about this, and fewer will even want to acknowledge it, but what Donald Trump did before the ABC debate began shows the measure of a real man’s worth. At the beginning of the ABC debate, each of the candidates were being introduced in a specific order. The first name called to the stage was Chris Christie. The applause was loud and lingered through the time when Martha Raddatz called the second candidate Ben Carson. Dr. Carson did not hear his name called easy to understand why when you listen to the video and stood in the entry-way. The moderators, with their backs to the candidates, didn’t notice his absence and called the third name on the list, Ted Cruz...

{ independentsentinel.com } ~ In her opening segment of Fox News’ “Justice with Judge Jeanine,” former Judge Pirro declared... “We are close to losing this country. There is a plot to remake America by those who hate America, while everyone on the sidelines is freaking out over political correctness.” Under the guise of “evolving,” Pirro charged that this cabal is seeking “to destroy the very foundations upon which this country was built.” “They know how to weaponize their hate and don’t you dare criticize them,” she said. “If you do they will do everything in their power to destroy you. Or, if you happen to be the president, impeach you if you don’t share their radical leftist socialist hate America agenda. And if you don’t you’re a racist, a bigot, a misogynist, a xenophobe or just plain deplorable. The Judge says the Squad of four radicals is motivated by hatred of America and for President Trump. We would add two things — hatred of Jews, and Christians. “In their plot to remake America, they impose socialism on all of us,” Pirro said of the four radicals. “Forget capitalism, free markets, individual liberty, and free speech.” “Say goodbye to law and order, ICE will be eliminated as well as the Department of Homeland Security,” she said. “And we need those open borders so anyone can come in, no vetting, just let them all in and you Americans pay for them.” commie-AOC, worthless-Omar, and worthless-Rashida are card-carrying members of the Democratic Socialist Party which has a worse agenda than that of the Communist Party USA.

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ The rise of the Catholic Left is in many ways the overarching story of the Church Crisis Era. Despite his statement early on that the Church should not become a “pitiful NGO,”... Pope Francis has reigned over an era where “Immanentize the Eschaton” to quote the late William F. Buckley might as well be on most episcopal crests. The desire to virtue-signal on issues like immigration is now often equated to fighting intrinsic evils like abortion or even the basic mandate to save souls. One manifestation of this “seamless garment” cultural Marxism can be found in so-called “shareholder activist” groups: bodies which often have financial or fraternal ties to scumbag-George Soros and sometimes use community organizer techniques perfected at the feet of Saul Alinsky. For Catholics, the one to keep an eye on is the “Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility.” Led by Rev. Seamus Finn, a priest of the rapidly shrinking Missionary Oblates of Mary, the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility is a collection of left-wing religious activists who harass companies into adopting woke positions in contravention to both the company’s fiduciary responsibilities and to common sense. Of course, this community activism is bathed in the soft, bourgeois heresy of the social gospel: an old tactic used by increasingly old activists...  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/the-seamless-garment-comes-to-wall-street?utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_07/21/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief&rid=5261

loose lips liar-Biden Promises 'You Can 
Keep Your Plan'
63rOLeljbAm0W1YY348ZVTa1pZA0aRdpI547UO8Y7-Cz69aHKPnOsh8kiJR1g1yu3Z_IEndBdt2MGoJc6RTK91t6EqMjcYjkjZQIAmZR85yhrDWB__x6K2AZA1RpnICV2xpT0cV11kZ7yjUmIwlb268WkSLx7dpE6TL9ra4=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Political Editors:  loose lips liar-Joe Biden has so far largely been content to coast as the Democrat presidential frontrunner. This week, however, he released his plan for health care while singing a tune you may recall: “If you like your health care plan … you can keep it.” Yes, he actually said that.
 

Seeking a contrast with commie-Bernie “$32 trillion Medicare for All” commie-Sanders and other Democrats pushing variations on that single-payer plan to kill private health insurance, Biden wants to bring back the “glory” days of Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s administration and scumbag/liar-nObamaCare. He wants voters skittish about socialism to choose an unrecognizably cronyist Frankenstein version of capitalism.

How far left have Democrats gone when a $750 billion expansion of scumbag/liar-nObamaCare’s estimated $1.6 trillion cost over the next decade is now the “centrist” position?

“You get a choice,” declared loose lips liar-Biden. “You get full coverage, and you can stay with your plan if you like it,” loose lips liar-Biden said. “You can stay with your employer-based plan, or you can move on. I think it’s the quickest, most reasonable, rational and best way to get to universal coverage.”

Of course, scumbag/liar-nObama promised dozens of times that “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan,” only for millions of Americans to be kicked off those plans once scumbag/liar-nObamaCare wrecked the insurance market. In fact, scumbag/liar-nObama’s oft-repeated promise was named PolitiFact’s “Lie of the Year” in 2013 — fitting, given that scumbag/liar-nObamaCare was built on a foundation of lies.

So it’s curious to see loose lips liar-Biden repeat that promise, but then again, maybe he’s just that desperate for scumbag/liar-nObama’s endorsement. And he’s hoping voters are desperate for a third scumbag/liar-nObama term.

His plan is also scumbag/liar-nObamaCare “on steroids,” says the Washington Examiner’s Philip Klein:

He wants to increase the subsidies to purchase insurance on scumbag/liar-nObamacare’s exchanges. Instead of limiting subsidies to those who earn above about $50,000 for individuals, loose lips liar-Biden would set a cap that would limit the cost of premiums to 8.5% of a person’s income, so people earning above the current scumbag/liar-nObamacare cutoff could now qualify for assistance.

Additionally, under scumbag/liar-nObamacare, the subsidies are pegged to the cost of a midlevel “silver” plan. This was done in an effort to contain costs by asking people to pay more if they wanted more generous coverage. Steering individuals toward plans with relatively higher deductibles and co-payments was also a way of discouraging overuse of the system. But loose lips liar-Biden’s plan would peg subsidies to “gold” coverage with lower deductibles. This will both increase the cost of subsidies to the government and the use of healthcare.

Exit question and answer: Asked Tuesday what his  estimate for Medicare for All would be, commie-Sanders replied, “Somewhere between $30 and $40 trillion over a 10 year period.” But, he says that’s a way better deal than loose lips liar-Biden’s plan: “What the most serious economists tell us, that if we do nothing to fundamentally change the health care system, which is what Joe was talking about … we’ll be spending something like $50 trillion over a 10 year period.” Sanders will give a speech Wednesday defending Medicare for All.

How far left have Democrats gone when socialism is supposed to be the better deal?  ~The Patriot Post

Media Editors:  News From the Swamp


MUELLER SHAKEDOWN: “All eyes will be on special counsel Robert Mueller this week as he delivers his first public testimony since wrapping up his two-year investigation into 2016 Russian election meddling and the Trump campaign. Anticipation over Mueller’s Wednesday testimony comes as Congress is facing a jam-packed week as lawmakers wind down their work ahead of the August recess.” (The Hill)

THE STATUS QUO: “White House and congressional negotiators rushing to hammer out the final details of a sweeping budget and debt deal are unlikely to include many — if any — actual spending cuts, even as the debt limit is lifted for two years,” The Washington Post reports. Unsurprisingly, “Speaker of the House liar-Nancy Pulosi (D–Calif.) rejected a White House offer on Friday to cut $150 billion in federal spending over 10 years as a part of a possible deal to raise the debt ceiling,” according to Reason. Rush Limbaugh is rhetorically right: “Nobody is a fiscal conservative anymore. All this talk about concern for the deficit and the budget has been bogus for as long as it’s been around.”

SELF-DESTRUCTION: “Democrat presidential candidate commie-Bernie Sanders announced this weekend he will cut staffers’ hours so that they can effectively be paid a $15-an-hour minimum wage, prompting mockery from critics who say the move is more evidence that commie-Sanders’ plan to raise the national minimum wage is hypocritical and would only lead to less work and more unemployment.” (Fox News)

ENFORCEMENT DELAY: “The Trump administration is giving taxpayer-funded family planning clinics more time to comply with its new rule that says they no longer can refer women for abortions. … A notice sent Saturday night to representatives of the clinics by the Department of Health and Human Services said the government ‘does not intend to bring enforcement actions’ against clinics that are making ‘good-faith efforts to comply.’ … The department had said last Monday that it would require immediate compliance.” (CBS News)

Culture & Heartland


AND NOT A MOMENT TOO SOON: “Given the radical, left-wing Antifa group’s well-documented history of violence, Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-La.) introduced a resolution on July 18 that condemns Antifa’s ‘violent acts’ and calls for the designation of the group as a ‘domestic terrorist organization.’” (CNSNews.com)

HATE HOAX: “Georgia State Rep. and Minority Leader Erica Thomas (D) took to Twitter on Saturday, saying a white man called her ‘a lazy SOB’ and that she needed to go back to where she came from because she had too many items in the express lane at the local Publix. … ‘Her words stating on Twitter and her Facebook video saying I told she needs to go back to where she came from are untrue,’ [Eric Sparkes] said. ‘I’m Cuban. I’m not white.’ But here’s where things get even more interesting. Sparkes said he’s a Democrat and the only reason Thomas is doing this is for political gains.” (Townhall)

PUERTO RICO UNREST: “Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló announced Sunday he will not seek re-election but refused to resign, as corruption allegations have sparked widespread protests in San Juan,” according to Fox News. Meanwhile, CBS News reports, “Up to a million protesters are expected in the streets of Puerto Rico Monday to protest … Rosselló.”

Other Notables


POLITICAL THEATER: “The Trump administration disputed a claim by Iran’s state media on Monday that authorities in the Middle East country arrested 17 secret agents recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency to spy on its nuclear and military sites. Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency said some of them have been sentenced to death. It was not clear if all the alleged spies were Iranian nationals.” (USA Today)

EQUIFAX SETTLES: “Equifax has agreed to pay as much as $700 million to settle a series of state and federal investigations into a massive 2017 data breach that left more than 147 million Americans’ Social Security numbers, credit-card details and other sensitive information exposed.” (The Washington Post)

NEW ZEALAND GUN CONTROL: “Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand on Monday announced plans for sweeping new restrictions on gun ownership, the second such wave of changes since a deadly shooting at two mosques in Christchurch earlier this year. The changes, which include a mandatory gun registry and a ban on gun purchases by foreign visitors, will ‘enshrine in law that owning a firearm is a privilege’ rather than a right, Ms. Ardern said.” (The New York Times)

“Our Sisters”: House Democrats Rally 
to the Side of the Anti-American Squad

{ conservativefreepress.com } ~ Let there be no doubt about it: The Democratic Party is now whatever commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her Squad say that it is... Because of all the anti-American, anti-Semitic, racist statements they’ve made since taking office in January, it was only when President Trump told them to “go back” to their countries of origin and fix those places before criticizing this one that liar-Nancy Pulosi and her caucus got their dander up. worthless-Ilhan Omar can downplay the significance of 9/11 all she wants, no Democrat makes a peep. commie-AOC can compare migrant detention facilities to Nazi concentration camps, it’s fine. worthless-Rashida Tlaib can make extraordinary slurs against our ally, Israel, and Democrats are silent. But oh boy, tell these Commies to hit the road, and it’s time for an official House resolution! “Our sisters,” liar-Pulosi called the Squad. “Now,” Trump correctly noted on Tuesday, “they are forever wedded to the Democratic Party.” The official resolution was an exercise in abject partisan politics, of course. Instead of being honest about Trump’s tweets, party leaders attempted to make it sound as though Trump, through his words and actions, was telling every foreign-born American to “go home.” Nowhere was it mentioned in the text that Trump was speaking only of the four progressives. Nowhere was it mentioned in the resolution that Trump invited all four to “come back” and show the U.S. what they had learned. No, none of that is relevant, because this had nothing to do with the truth. It was just showboating for MSNBC and the radical mob on Twitter...  http://www.conservativefreepress.com/politics/our-sisters-house-democrats-rally-to-the-side-of-the-anti-american-squad/

By Steven Beyer  
{ westernjournal.com } ~ Far-left Democratic lawmakers issued a warning to their more moderate Democratic counterparts on Wednesday... and said they would ax a minimum wage bill if Republicans tried to amend it ahead of the vote. Reps. Pramila Jayapal from Washington state and Mark Pocan from Wisconsin said that progressive Democrats are ready to vote against the legislation en masse to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour if the Republicans’ procedural motion is adopted beforehand, The Hill reported. The warning appears to be directed at more moderate Democrats who previously joined with Republicans in a motion to recommit. Such a motion allows the minority party to alter the legislation at the midnight hour before the final vote is cast. “We have no doubt that Congressional Republicans will try to divide the Democratic Caucus with a disingenuous Motion to Recommit. It’s up to all of us to stand unified and reject their bad faith effort to undermine this bill,” Pocan and Jayapal said in their statement. “After consulting with our Members this week, we are confident that any bill that includes a poison pill Republican  Motion to Recommit will lack the votes to pass on the House Floor,” they added. While the content of the Republicans’ motion to recommit was not known, according to progressives, it doesn’t matter... $15 would be nice but it will cut alot of jobs and young peoples hours.

Trump cited Thiel's comments in a Tuesday morning tweet and said: “The Trump Administration will take a look!” What exactly that means is unclear. The Justice Department declined to comment on the apparent suggestion the company could be investigated. Asked for a response, a Google representative said: "As we have said before, we do not work with the Chinese military."...  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-suggests-google-could-be-investigated-for-treason

Refugee Risks Life to Convert 
Muslims To Christianity In Sweden

by 1776christian.com ~ The stories of Muslim women who have escaped the war-torn Middle East and ISIS caliphate can only be likened to Hollywood’s most graphic horror films... After enduring second-class status, surviving domestic abuse and escaping Iran only to suffer in a Turkish prison, Annahita Parsan has staked her claim in Sweden, converted to Christianity and now shepherds other to Jesus. The mother of two had virtually no personal or religious freedom under Iran’s hard-line Muslim regime. But now in Sweden, she has embraced the Gospel of Jesus Christ and emerged as a prominent person of faith. Her spiritual, emotional and geographic journey read like the trials of Job. She risked her very life by making the pilgrimage away from religious and gender oppression to the European country. Many would be grateful for a new life in a free society and live out their days quietly. Not so with Parsan. She continues to put her self in harm’s way by reaching out to disenfranchised Muslims and leading them to the peaceful and loving teachings of Jesus. She has even published a memoir called “Stranger No More: A Muslim Refugee Story of Harrowing Escape, Miraculous Rescue and the Quiet Call of Jesus.” “My life is completely different since coming to Jesus,” the 47-year-old reportedly said. Raised in the Isfahan region of Iran, she was married off at 16 years old. She brought her first child into the world soon after Ayatollah Khomeini seized power following Iran’s Islamic Revolution in 1979. At 18, her husband was tragically killed and the authoritarian Islamic state forced her to hand her young son over to her deceased husband’s father under Iranian law. She stood her ground, regaining custody and later remarrying in hopes of a loving relationship. “After two years, I decided to marry again. His situation was like mine. His wife had died,” Parsan said. “But soon, he began beating my son very badly. I was pregnant again, and it was impossible for me to divorce.” As the Iran-Iraq war broke out, her violent husband forced her and her two children to trek across the mountains into Turkey during winter. As illegal immigrants, Turkish authorities imprisoned the entire family. After being released into Istanbul, it took nine months to garner enough money to travel to Denmark. In Scandinavia, the roots of Parsan’s spiritual rebirth took hold. “In about the first or second month there, a woman came to the door to speak about God. But it was not in my interest,” Parsan recalled. “I was so angry. I was so unhappy. But she came back the next day with a small Bible, so this time I asked Jesus to help me.” She hid the Bible from her husband. Unfortunately, after a brutal assault by her spouse during Christmas, she tried to commit suicide. As she miraculously recovered from the sleeping pill overdose, her spiritual awakening became complete...

Mogadishu Mon Amour
By Clarice Feldman
{ americanthinker.com } ~ The French movie Hiroshima Mon Amour is based on human memory and forgetfulness as recounted by two lovers... The tale of the congresswoman who calls herself worthless-Ilhan Omar is a tale of an anti-Semite bred-in-the-bone corruptocrat whose rise in political power rests very largely on complicity by the media’s airbrushing of her history because they thought this physically attractive African Moslem “refugee” was just the ticket to defeat Donald Trump. The media counts on our forgetfulness and ignorance. Hard work by independent media, however, has exposed her and her media apologists and the Democrats have little choice: Condemn her and remove her from her committee assignments or suffer the consequences. Speaker liar-Nancy Pulosi’s repeated defense of her, doubtless for fear of being targeted by the leftist nutjobs in her ranks has placed her party’s continued majority in serious jeopardy. The President’s remarks and the media’s distortion of them have only occasioned new and more critical gaze on worthless-Omar and it isn’t pretty. On July 14, the president tweeted the following:  @RealDonaldTrump: So interesting to see “Progressive”  Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world if they even have a functioning government at all, now loudly...... ....and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how.... ....it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that liar-Nancy Pulosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements! The AP and most major media leaped on this as racist, but as S B Waters, editor of the Rome Sentinel, notes “It is obviously not racist to suggest critics 1) go show how their plan works and 2) Come back and teach us how...

Planned Parenthood Ousts Insufficiently 'Woke' CEO

Nate Jackson:  Just eight months into her tenure, Leana Wen was fired as Planned Parenthood’s president Tuesday. She succeeded Cecile Richards last November, but Wen, a woman of color and a committed leftist, wasn’t radical enough for the nation’s largest abortion mill. Given that Planned Parenthood rakes in more than $500 million every year from American taxpayers, many of whom view abortion as a tragedy to be ended, this is significant news.

The specifics are even more galling. Wen last year insisted, “People aren’t coming to Planned Parenthood to make a political statement. They’re coming because they need their vaccinations. They need their well-woman exams. They’re getting HIV tests.” (Definitely not mammograms, though.) She also said in her departure statement, “I believe the best way to protect abortion care is to be clear that it is not a political issue but a health care one.”

Planned Parenthood’s board members, however, clearly view abortion as their mission (PP averages 320,000 abortions each year), and Wen was not sufficiently on message. (That mission was always clear to most Americans, but the board explicitly declared it by removing Wen.) Board members also see abortion as primarily a political issue and wanted a social-justice warrior, not a physician like Wen, to lead the charge, especially when so many states are directly challenging  Roe v. Wade with restrictions on abortion and the Trump administration implemented a new rule cutting $60 millionin funding from Planned Parenthood.

In a sense, the board is right. The Hippocratic Oath historically taken by physicians says, “I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm.” (The phrase “first, to do no harm,” is a later development along the same lines.) An abortion by definition harms (i.e., terminates the life of) a preborn human. Ergo, abortion is arguably better understood as a political and cultural issue.

Furthermore, there was the whole issue of Wen not submitting to the transgender movement’s increasing power. She reportedly refused to use “trans-inclusive” language and would not agree that men can have babies. Apparently, in today’s “woke” radical-leftist climate, Planned Parenthood couldn’t be effectively led by someone who believes in that science.

Wen will be replaced temporarily by board member Alexis McGill Johnson during the search for a permanent replacement. Of course, no leader of this massive taxpayer-funded abortion mill is going to be palatable to those who value the sanctity of life, and as long as Planned Parenthood is violating the very right to life given each human by his or her Creator, there will continue to be a political and cultural fight.  ~The Patriot Post

{ freebeacon.com } ~ An Iranian national was caught by the Trump administration attempting to smuggle materials that can be used to enrich uranium, the key component in a nuclear weapon, out of the U.S... according to the Justice Department. Behzad Pourghannad allegedly attempted to smuggle carbon fiber out of America and ship it to Tehran. Pourghannad was arrested in May 2017 in Germany and later extradited to the U.S. He arrived in America on Monday. On Tuesday, the Justice Department unsealed a three-count indictment charging Pourghannad and two others in the plot to export the sensitive nuclear materials. Ali Reza Shokri and Farzin Faridmanesh, the two alleged conspirators, remain at large. "Pourghannad is alleged to have sought to procure for Iran large amounts of carbon fiber—a commodity that can be used in the enrichment of uranium," Assistant Attorney General Demers said in a statement. "U.S. sanctions exist to prevent behavior, like this, which endangers our country, and the Department is committed to vigorously enforcing them. Pourghannad and others who would attempt to thwart these laws need to know that their actions, which benefit Iran’s destabilizing efforts and make Americans less safe, will not go unpunished." The carbon fiber material could be used by Iran to fuel its ongoing enrichment of uranium, which has emerged as a flashpoint in the latest standoff between the Trump administration and Iran. Following a bevy of new sanctions by the U.S., Iran publicly breached restrictions on the amount of enriched uranium it can stockpile inside the country...  https://freebeacon.com/national-security/iran-caught-smuggling-nuke-materials-out-of-u-s/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=fc6e2f462d-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_06_07_04_03_COPY_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-fc6e2f462d-45611665

{ gellerreport.com } ~ Two Republican senators have introduced a resolution to “properly identify” Antifa as “domestic terrorists” who use violence against their opponents while being protected by “liberal privilege.”... The resolution, introduced on Thursday by Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana), cites numerous instances of intimidation and outright violence by left-wing radicals as the basis for their formal designation as domestic terrorists. In particular, it mentions recent clashes in Portland, Oregon, that saw far-left Rose City Antifa facing off with far-right Proud Boys and police. The highlight of the late June skirmish was the assault on journalist Andy Ngo by Antifa protesters. The Quillette reporter was beaten and doused with milkshakes that, according to some accounts, contained quick-drying cement. Ngo also said his camera equipment was stolen. Also on rt.com GoFundMe for Andy Ngo, journalist assaulted by Antifa, raises $100k in less than 24 hours The attack sparked a Twitter moment in support of the journalist and spawned a ‘Protect Andy Ngo Fund’ GoFundMe campaign that topped its stated goal of $50,000 four-fold. Commenting on the proposed legislation, Cassidy described Antifa as “violent masked bullies who ‘fight fascism’ with actual fascism, protected by liberal privilege.” Apart from the incident with Ngo, the two senators cite reports of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers being doxxed and intimidated by left-wing protesters, including a reported incident with an ICE officer who “had his name and photo plastered on flyers outside his home accusing him of being part of the ‘Gestapo’,” the notorious Nazi secret police. ‘Antifa fighter’ indicted for assault over Portland violence that savaged man’s scalp. While the resolution appears to refer to the Antifa movement in general, it specifically takes aim at the Oregon-based Rose City Antifa, which the authors state “explicitly rejects the authority of law enforcement officers in the United States, and Federal, State, and local governments.” Any use of violence, including, against  “individuals that the group labels as fascist” is inadmissible, the resolution argues. While denouncing the left-wing terrorism, Cruz and Cassidy also note the need to fight far-right violence, urging the federal government “to redouble its efforts, using all available and appropriate tools, to combat the spread of all forms of domestic terrorism, including White supremacist terrorism.”...

Foreigners Storm the Border, Assault Agents

{ independentsentinel.com } ~ Emboldened foreigners stormed the border and were tear-gassed back into Mexico. Fox News called them undocumented migrants but they are illegal aliens... to use the correct legal term. ‘Migrants’ is definitely a bad word to use to describe who they are and what they are up to. ‘Migrants’ suggests illegal aliens are acting in a customary and acceptable fashion. The incident at the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge took place at around 4 a.m. The foreigners stormed the border in three waves and were sent back. The crossing ended up closed after the incident. “Ignoring commands to stop, the group suddenly rushed the temporary barricades, bent metal poles and disabled the concertina wire affixed to the barrier,” the official said. CBP officers, Border Patrol agents, Pharr police and members of the Texas Department of Public Safety were called upon to prevent the group’s entry, according to the official. “Several males in the group disregarded commands to stop and physically pushed through the barriers,” the official said. “When confronted by CBP officers, the combative individuals began assaulting the officers by punching, kicking, and attempting to grab the officers’ protective devices.”...

Rep. worthless-Ilhan Omar Introduces 
Anti-Israel Boycott Resolution
By Shawn
{ fixthisnation.com } ~ Unrepentant after numerous anti-Semitic remarks she’s made about Israel, its supporters in Congress, and the role of Jewish money in American politics... Rep. worthless-Ilhan Omar (D-MN) announced this week that she will introduce a resolution in support of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement on the floor of the House. In an interview with Al-Monitor, worthless-Omar said Tuesday: “We are introducing a resolution to really speak about the American values that support and believe in our ability to exercise our first amendment rights in regard to boycotting. And it is an opportunity for us to explain why it is we support a nonviolent movement, which is the BDS movement.” The bill would push back against U.S. laws prohibiting the use of boycotts against the state of Israel. To promote it, worthless-Omar compared Israel to some of the worst nation-states of the 20th century. “Americans of conscience have a proud history of participating in boycotts to advocate for human rights abroad including boycotting Nazi Germany from March 1933 to October 1941 in response to the dehumanization of the Jewish people in the lead-up to the Holocaust,” worthless-Omar said. worthless-Omar also brought up the former Soviet Union and apartheid-era South Africa as examples to be compared to modern-day Israel. You’ll not be surprised to see that worthless-Omar’s bill is co-sponsored by none other than Palestinian congresswoman worthless-Rashida Tlaib (D-MI)...  http://www.fixthisnation.com/conservative-breaking-news/rep-ilhan-omar-introduces-anti-israel-boycott-resolution/

The Real Strategy for Trump and Democrats
uDKZIeOxKEp15frFG_Q0YyMrFgvTLlAYgmitY9oxWT_CWkDCwSFEm6Rqx8fXYEIOczR6xNaQ517L32QklIplpPvKsC7M_Wv9sKWJTC8FyKwM55fyS4XH8VWWCiyrG6B-c0Swkd5FzDmoJXEOuT8YKAGizIs8ObqxGTaBIqI=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Thomas Gallatin:  As the firestorm ignited by President Donald Trump’s social-media comments against four extreme leftist Democrat congresswomen known as “The Squad” entered its third day, House Speaker liar-Nancy Pulosi (D-CA) sought to add fuel to the fire by holding a vote on a resolution to rebuke and condemn Trump’s comments as “racist.” Ironically, what unfolded on the floor of the House became yet another embarrassing example of Democrat hypocrisy, as liar-Pulosi proceeded to unapologetically break a Democrat-created parliamentarian rule in her effort to label Trump a racist. The rule in question, as House Majority Leader scumbag-Steny Hoyer (D-MD) explained, forbids “characterizing an action as racist,” but it did nothing to either prompt liar-Pulosi to back off her remarks or prevent every single Democrat siding with the speaker. Once again, for the Left, the rules only apply to the opposition.
 

The clear goal for liar-Pulosi and the Democrats was to officially label Trump a racist. And like clockwork, the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party, The Washington Post, reported it with these two headlines: “A divided House votes for resolution condemning Trump’s racist remarks,” and then, “Trump’s racist comments can be used against him in court as judges cite them to block policies.” When you can’t win the argument on its merits (or lack thereof), charge your opponent with “racism.”  Democrats have been playing this slanderous game a long time.

Meanwhile, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) weighed in on Tuesday, rebuking leftist “Squad” member Rep. worthless-Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for her repeated statements of “bitterness and anger toward the country.” Paul added, “She says this is terrible, a place without justice and all this.” He then set the record straight, noting, “She’s a congresswoman. She got here as a refugee 20 years ago. She’s elected to Congress. I can’t imagine a better country that elected her to Congress and she badmouths our country.”

A final observation: While it is clear what the intent of Democrats and the Leftmedia is, what seems to be less obvious to many is what Trump is doing. As we noted Monday, he has successfully induced Democrats to circle the wagons around the most radical (and unpopular) members of their party, which Tuesday’s House vote demonstrates. However, what many may not appreciate is the fact that he has steered the conversation toward the question of what constitutes true American values. In so doing, his goal is to set himself up as the only unapologetically pro-American presidential candidate in 2020. His aim is to pressure the Democrat presidential candidates into appearing to campaign against not just him but against America. And thus far Democrats have failed to avoid his trap.  ~The Patriot Post
